The new distributed drive system

Creative system designs for applications using horizontal motion. With horizontal conveyor applications in mind, the new SINAMICS G115D is a strong drive system that has been specially engineered to meet present and future challenges. Airports and intralogistics are typical applications.

The story of SINAMICS G115D: Two versions of one drive system

The SINAMICS G115D is a full drive system, not merely a new distributed drive. The SINAMICS G115D comes in two versions and includes a motor, frequency converter, and gearbox. With features specifically designed for conveyor applications, this user-friendly, modular, and adaptable solution has a unique design that makes commissioning, servicing, and joining up a breeze. You can take use of SINAMICS G115D’s innovative design for effortless handling, quick setup, and incredibly straightforward operating.

Motor mounted*

Pre-commissioned is the entire unit, which includes a frequency inverter and geared motor. There are several types of gearboxes: helical, bevel, helical worm, parallel shaft, and monorail.

Wall mounted

The frequency inverter is pre-commissioned for the selected motor.

Distributed drive system improvements

SINAMICS G115D represents the innovative distributed drive system packed with completely new features.

SYSTEM CONCEPT

The SINAMICS G115D drive system has just one order number, is ready-to-run out-of-the-box and it is very compact. It is easy to select, easy to install and easy to operate.
One system platform with the same look and feel, available in two versions to precisely fit your application: Motor mounted and Wall mounted.
Energy efficient concept: Motors are available either with efficiency class IE3 or IE4, allowing the drive system to address markets around the world with the same level of performance.

EASY-TO-USE

Fully integrated into a powerful automation tool: Startdrive/TIA Portal – ensures high degree of user friendliness and intuitive interaction with the automation layer.
lntegrated firmware with embedded conveyor functions guarantees shorter commissioning times and therefore lower costs.
Wi-Fi web server via SINAMICS Smart Access Module facilitates easy commissioning and diagnostics from a mobile device (e.g smartphone, tablet or PC).

PACKED WITH EVEN MORE FUNCTIONS

Fit for digitalization: all SINAMICS G115D drive system parameters can be transferred to Insights Hub via PROFINET.
A wider temperature range down to -30°C makes the drive system the optimum choice even for operation in warehouses handling frozen goods.
Safety Integrated: Safe-Torque-Off (STO) function is integrated as standard and offers control via F-DI and PROFIsafe. Safely-Limited Speed (SLS) as a licensed option with no additional HW.
Improved diagnosis thanks to additional onboard LEDs, local remote control and repair switch with feedback to adapt to customer requirements.

certain features for a variety of uses

There is more to SINAMICS G115D than just another frequency converter. A cutting-edge, low-profile frequency converter and a highly efficient geared motor combine to provide an ideally matched system solution. In applications like conveyor belts, sorting systems, baggage and freight conveyor systems, warehousing and distribution logistics, mail sorting and package distribution, the system has only been optimised for energy- and cost-efficient horizontal motion.

In addition to the automobile and food and beverage industries, it has been specifically engineered to handle intralogistic and airport applications. ideal match for technology utilising decentralised drives.

Versatile

SINAMICS G115D stands for easy configuring, easy ordering and easy commissioning. As a comprehensive distributed drive system, it is the simple solution to address the challenges of horizontal conveyor applications.
Fully implemented in the Totally lntegrated Automation (TIA) environment, which seamlessly integrates hardware, software and services. All of the individual components are harmonized and coordinated with one another.

Rugged

Rugged design that has a high IP degree of protection (up to IP66). This makes it ready to use in harsh environments, but as a result of its compact design it can be used in applications where space is at a premium.
Reliable operation over a wide temperature range extending from -30 to 55°C.

Distributed

The SINAMICS G115D drive system belongs to a family of distributed converters.
The distributed system approach allows motors to be controlled close to the actual application, reduces the number of motor cables required, improves electromagnetic compatibility and reduces thermal losses.

SINAMICS G115D meets the requirements of digitalization

We’ve connected our distributed drive system to the cloud.

Integrating into higher-level automation systems is a must for any cutting-edge intralogistics solution to reach its utmost flexibility and efficiency. You may take advantage of seamless interaction with SINAMICS G115D in programs like Analyse MyDrives (for single-drive optimisation) and the TIA environment (for higher-level automation).

By leveraging web-based platforms, horizontal conveyors can integrate into a networked industry and fully utilise the Internet of Things (loT) thanks to this underlying system of checks and analyses.

The best way to keep an eye on how many products are being transmitted is to use the Insights Hub app Analyse MyDrives, which lets users guarantee high availability while offering a thorough insight of the system’s performance and material flow. Workflows can also be made more efficient based on the results, faults can be anticipated and avoided, and maintenance can be carried out whenever it is convenient rather than only when it is required.
