Totally Integrated Automation – Setting standards in productivity

Totally Integrated Automation with
SINAMICS S120
•  TIA: Unified, sector-specific automation solutions
•  PROFIBUS and PROFINET are integral
components of TIA
•  Motion control with SIMOTION
•  Numerical control with SINUMERIK
The basis for customized automation
solutions
With its Totally Integrated Automation
(TIA), Siemens is the only manufacturer
that offers a seamless range of products
and systems for all industry sectors –
from a single source. Harmonized to the
individual customer requirements, based
on TIA, efficient industry sector-specific
automation solutions can be implemented. Lower life cycle costs when oper ating machines and systems and considerably shorter times to market result in
significant increases in productivity and a
higher investment security.
Straightforward: Totally Integrated
Automation with SINAMICS S120
In addition to SIMATIC, SIMOTION and
SINUMERIK, SINAMICS also belongs to the
core components of Totally Integrated
Automation. For instance, the STARTER
commissioning tool is an integral component of TIA. All of the automation solution components can be parameterized,
programmed and commissioned using a
unified engineering platform within the
same environment. The integrated data
management ensures consistent data and
simple archiving of the complete plant or
machine project.

CUA31/32 Control Unit Adapter for multi-axis applications with SINAMICS S120 AC Drive

The drive is coupled to e. g. a CU320
multi-axis Control Unit through the CU
Adapter CUA31 via a DRIVE-CLiQ interface. In this collection, SINAMICS S120
AC Drives can also be used together with
SINAMICS S120 multi-axis drive units.
This collection provides the highest
degree of flexibility when using
SINAMICS S120 Drives.
When compared to the CUA31, the
CUA32 additionally has an HTL/TTL
encoder interface to connect up an
external encoder.

Motion control integrated in the drive: SIMOTION D410 Control Unit

The SIMOTION D410 Control Unit is the
ideal solution if, going beyond the pure
control intelligence, motion control is
required for an axis and PLC functionality
in a compact package. SIMOTION D410
can be used for single-axis applications
– such as winders, crosscutters or feed
equipment – but also in synchronous
groups for modular machine concepts.
In this case, the machine module, automated using SIMOTION D410, receives
the leading value from a higher-level
control and synchronizes its axis to this
leading value.
Either the D410 DP with PROFIBUS DP
connection or D410 PN with integrated
PROFINET port can be used.
Up to four fast cam outputs or three measuring probe inputs can be implemented
using the onboard inputs/outputs.

Central control intelligence with interface to the control: Control Unit CU310

The AC Drives have a CU310 Control Unit
to couple them to the higher-level control. They offer a functional scope extending from a basic speed controller up to
extensive positioning functions.
Either a CU310 DP with PROFIBUS DP port
or CU310 PN with integrated PROFINET
port can be selected. Drive-related inputs/
outputs can be simply connected to the
CU using BICO technology. This permits
the highest possible decoupling between
the drive and the higher-level control.
Also for the AC drives, when necessary,
an additional encoder and drive-related
I/Os can be connected through
DRIVE-CLiQ.

SINAMICS S120 – AC Drives for single-axis applications

AC Drives for
single-axis applications
•  An autonomous single-axis
SINAMICS S120 AC Drive comprises
a Control Unit and Power Module
•  Alternatively, a Power Module can
be integrated into a multi-axis
group via CU adapter
•  Power Modules are available in the
Blocksize and Chassis formats
Typical applications
Single-axis drives are suitable for applications in all sectors, such as e.g. for travel
drives, centrifuges, elevators and extruders as well as for mixers and kneaders.
Single-axis SINAMICS S120 AC Drives are
also the ideal solution for multi-axis applications where the drive axes are located remotely from one another. The same
applies to modular machine concepts
that are being increasingly implemented
in the packaging and woodworking industries.
For a single-axis drive, the line supply
infeed and the power supply of the motor are combined in one device – the
so-called Power Module. For single-axis
applications, a special Control Unit (e.g.
CU310) mounted on the Power Module
handles the drive control; for multi-axis
applications a Control Unit is used (e.g.
CU320) coupled through DRIVE-CLiQ.
In the latter case, instead of the Control
Unit, a CU Adapter is mounted on the
Power Module.
For instance, SINAMICS S120 AC Drives
decentrally coupled to a higher-level
control via PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET can
reliably handle e.g. positioning tasks in
automated assembly machines and handling systems.
