Drive modules

The drive modules comprise the following components: Power module, control
module, equipment bus cable and, where relevant, drive bus cable as well as
option module.
The permissible combinations of power module and control module are listed in
the configuring tables (NC60, Section 10, Tables 2 and 3). Depending on the
cooling type and the power module size, cooling components must either be
additionally ordered or must be additionally provided by the user.
The drive modules of the SIMODRIVE 611 drive converter system comprise,
depending on the application as feed, main spindle or induction motors, the
following components: Power module, control module, drive bus cable and, if
required, option modules.
A drive module is created by inserting the control module in the power module,
e.g. for feed or main spindle applications.
As a result of the modular drive system, many applications can be configured
using only a few individual components.
Note
Special contractual conditions apply for combinations which deviate from the
engineering information/instructions in Catalog NC 60; this also applies when
third–party products are also used.
We accept the warranty for our scope of supply up to the system interfaces
which we define.
Power modules
There is a broad range of power modules, 1–axis and 2–axis versions, gradua-
ted according to currents and sub–divided into three different cooling types.
The range of power modules permits an integrated, modular, space–saving
drive solution for:
S
Small, compact machines (feed torques and main spindle outputs, e.g.
80 Nm at 500 RPM and 11 kW S1 at 1500 RPM) up to
S
Complex machining centers and automatic lathes, e.g. 115 Nm or
145 Nm at 2000 RPM and 100 kW S1 at 1500 RPM
The currents refer to the standard default setting. The output currents can be
limited by the control module. After the control module has been inserted, the
retaining screws at the control front panel must be tightened in order to guaran-
tee a good electrical connection to the module housing.
The appropriate de–rating must be observed for higher clock frequencies, am-
bient temperatures and installation altitudes above 1000 m above sea level.
Matching and pre–assembled cables are available to connect the motors. The
ordering data is provided in the motors Section of Catalog NC 60
Shield connecting plates, which can be mounted onto the module, are available
so that the shielded power cables can be connected–up in compliance with the
appropriate EMC Guidelines.
The equipment bus cable is supplied with the power module. For the digital
system, the drive bus cables must be separately ordered.
