Power modules

Siemens offers a wide range of power modules for the most diverse driver requirements.

Power modules PM250

The best power module for regenerative feedback requirements. This implies that any braking energy is delivered back into the supply system directly (a brake chopper is not necessary for four-quadrant applications). The voltage and power ranges for the PM25O Power Module are as follows:

• 380 V – 480 V 3 AC ± 10% 7.5kW to 90 kW

Power Modules PM240-2

The perfect power module for mechanical engineering standard applications. PM240-2 Power Modules are appropriate for a wide range of general mechanical engineering applications and have brake chopper (Four-quadrant applications). The voltage and power ranges for the PM240-2 Power modules are as follows:

• 200 V … 240 V 1 AC/3 AC 0.55 kW … 4.0 kW
• 200 V … 240 V 3 AC 5.5 kW … 55 kW
• 380 V … 480 V 3 AC 0.55 kW … 250 kW
• 500 V … 690 V 3 AC 11 kW … 250 kW

Control units

The Control Unit uses a variety of control techniques to regulate the motor. The Control Unit is capable of doing other activates in addition to control operations, which can be parameterised to suit the specific application. For the SINAMICS G120, a variety of Control Units with Various functions are available.

CU230P-2 series Control Unit – the specialist for pumps, fans and compressors

Particularly well suited for drives with integrated technological functions for compressor, fan, and pump applications is the Control Unit (CU230P-2). These applications are optimally supported by the I/O interface, fieldbus interfaces, and other software features.

CU250S-2 series Control Unit – for high-performance applications in general mechanical engineering

The particular Control Unit (CU250S-2) is particularly well-suited for drives that require great torque precision and rapidity. These applications are optimally supported by the I/O interface, field bus interfaces, and other software features.

CU240E-2 series Control Unit – for standard applications in general mechanical engineering

Foe encoderless applications requiring safety, the conventional Control Unit (CU240E-2) with an increases I/O quantity structure is perfect.

CUA20 Control unit adapter kit – a simple and alternative way of installing the devices in cabinets

The SINAMICS Control Unit Adapter Kit CUA20 is offered to allow the power module and Control Unit to be separated both spatially and thermally in control cabinet installations. The CU230P-2, CU250S-2, and CU240E-2 Control Units are all compatible with the Adapter Kit CUA20.

Suitable Applications for SINAMICS G120

• Pumping / ventilating / compressing: This modular frequency converter is suitable for the following applications.
• Moving: SINAMICS is the driving force behind both basic and extremely dynamic stacker cranes and conveyor systems.
• Processing: SINAMICS is the engine that powers continuous operations with precise torque and rapid speed.
• Positioning: The drive for placing one or more coordinated axes is known as SINAMICS.

Wireless low voltage frequency converter commissioning, diagnosis, and maintenance

You can wirelessly connect your mobile devices (Laptop, tablet, smartphone) to the SINAMICS G120, G120C, G120X, and G115D converter series using the SINAMICS G120 Smart Access Module. This gives you a strong tool with many features for diagnostics, service, and wireless commissioning

Solutions for low-voltage converter digitisation

More efficiency and dependability in planning, operation, and maintenance are made possible by digitalisation, whether it be through virtualisation and simulation, dimensioning and configuration, networking, data analysis, or services.

Utilise digitalisation to maximise the value of your converter data

Digital twins of converters, engineering and selection tools, networking solutions, analysis apps, and data-based services are all included in the drive technology digitalisation package. These solutions guarantee increased efficiency, allow for demand-oriented maintenance planning, and optimise development processes.
