Extension of the drive computing performance
To fully utilize the motion control performance of a SIMOTION D410-2 when required, the
drive-side computing performance can be extended by connecting additional SINAMICS
S110/S120 control units (e.g. CU305, CU310-2, etc.) via PROFIBUS to the SIMOTION
D410-2.
Software components
The basic functionality of SIMOTION D is supplied on a CompactFlash Card containing the
following:
● The SIMOTION runtime system with the following functions:
– Freely programmable runtime system (IEC 61131)
– Various runtime levels (tasks)
– PLC and arithmetic functionality
– Motion control functions
– Communication functions
● The SINAMICS S120 drive control with the following functions:
– Current and torque control
– Speed control
1.2 System components
Overview
SIMOTION D410-2 communicates with the components of the automation landscape via the
following interfaces:
● PROFIBUS DP
● Ethernet
● DRIVE-CLiQ (DRIVE Component Link with IQ)
● Power module interface (PM-IF)
SIMOTION D features a SINAMICS Integrated drive element. Communication with the
SINAMICS Integrated is via PROFIBUS mechanisms (DP Integrated), via PROFIdrive
message frames.
Shorter cycle times and greater numbers of addresses for each node are achieved with the
"DP Integrated" compared to the "external PROFIBUS DP".
The most important components of the system and their functions are shown below.
