Example: SINAMICS G120, frame sizes FSA, FSB and FSC; each with Power Module, CU240E‑2 F Control Unit and Basic Operator Panel BOP-2
Introduction
SINAMICS G family is described as “Converters for Basic to Mid-Level Requirements” meaning mostly speed controled drives (pumps, mills, fans, etc). Even despite the fact that precise position control is not possible as with SINAMICS S family, SINAMICS G drives might be also useful for industrial robotics related applications at least for control of conveyor belts. Since it is possible to configure these drives entirely in TIA Portal, we decided to add simple demo example including PROFINET communication with CP1616.
