Distributed drive system with ASI Communications

SINAMICS G110D is ideally suited for conveyor system applications in the industrial environment for which a distributed drive with communications capability and AS-Interface is required. This applies in particular to distribution logistics and airports.

SINAMICS G110D is also suitable for many additional low-performance applications in many sectors, e.g. in the automotive sector, in the food and beverage industry (without surfactants) and in the packaging industry.

Device design

SINAMICS G110D is a compact converter in IP65 degree of protection where the Control Unit (CU) and Power Module (PM) function units are combined in one device.

The closed-loop control electronics controls and monitors the power electronics and the connected motor in several different control types that can be selected. The digital inputs and analog inputs on the device mean that sensors can be simply and directly connected at the drive. The input signals can either be directly linked within the converter and initiate local responses independently or they can be transferred to the central control via AS-Interface for further processing within the context of the overall plant.

The power electronics supplies the motor in the power range from 0.75 kW to 7.5 kW. It is controlled (open-loop) from the microprocessor-based control. State-of-the-art IGBT technology with pulse-width-modulation is used for highly reliable and flexible motor operation. Comprehensive protection functions provide a high degree of protection for the converter and motor. The unusually low profile mechanical design is optimized so that the device can be directly used in the plant or system. The compact converter has the same drilling dimensions for all power ratings (standard footprint). Further, the dimensions are identical to those of the SINAMICS G120D frequency converter. This significantly simplifies the mechanical design, installation and retrofit of a system.

  • Wide power range from 0.75 kW to 7.5 kW
  • Fast commissioning and maintenance as well as extended diagnostic functions and communications capability with AS-Interface according to specification 3.0:
    • Reduced number of interfaces
    • Plant-wide engineering
    • Easy to handle
  • Mechanical design, installation and retrofit of systems are significantly simplified as a result of the compact and space-saving design with an extremely low profile and with the same drilling dimensions for all power ratings; further, the dimensions are identical with those of the SINAMICS G120D converter.
  • Easy commissioning and maintenance as a result of the same, standardized connectors for the bus, power and I/O connections (ISO 23570) for the complete range of power ratings of SINAMICS G110D and SINAMICS G120D.
  • The same connectors are used as for the SIRIUS M200D motor starter
  • Simple, standard implementation of completely distributed plant and system concepts by using products in a scalable fashion:
    • SIRIUS M200D (motor starter)
    • SINAMICS G110D (converter for basic conveyor-related applications)
    • SINAMICS G110M (converter for conveyor-related applications)
    • SIMATIC ET 200pro FC‑2 (converter for distributed I/O)
    • SINAMICS G120D (converter for demanding conveyor-related applications)
  • High degree of operator friendliness by using the Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP‑2) to parameterize, diagnose, control (open-loop) and copy drive parameters
  • Easy to replace thanks to a plug-in design and the use of a memory card, providing the highest degree of service friendliness
  • Simple connection, engineering, data management as well as control of the converter in sophisticated plants and systems as a result of the consequential integration in TIA (Totally Integrated Automation)
  • Using the optional maintenance switch, the converter can be simply disconnected from the line supply when service is required, without any additional components or without additional wiring costs when configuring the system
  • Using the optional manual local control, commissioning is fast and can be limited to specific areas, the application can be manually pre-tested on site and the system can be cleared or emptied without requiring comprehensive options.
  • By being able to connect up to 5 sensors directly at the unit, practically all of the drive-relevant information can be directly managed; local pre-processing of the signals takes the load off the fieldbus and ensures a fast and reproducible response time
  • Integrated EMC filter class A (acc. to EN 55011)
  • Integrated brake control, brake voltages supported: 180 V DC and 205 V DC
  • Integrated motor protection using a thermal motor model and evaluation of PTC, KTY, bimetal or Pt1000 temperature sensors
  • Easy replacement of devices and fast copying of parameters to the memory card using the optional memory card holder and the optional memory card
  • Engineering and commissioning with standard engineering tools such as SIZER for Siemens Drives (V3.2 and higher), STARTER (V4.1.3 and higher) and Drive ES ensure fast engineering and simple commissioning - STARTER is integrated into STEP 7 with Drive ES Basic, with all the advantages of central data storage and totally integrated communication
  • Software parameters for simple adaptation to 50 Hz or 60 Hz motors (IEC or NEMA motors)
  • Increased degree of ruggedness and longer service life as the electronic modules are coated
  • Globally certified acc. to CE, UL, RCM
