The distributed design of the drive and the ability to run up to twelve drives on one adapter module adds flexibility, both for newly designed machines and for upgrades. The new drive is suitable for modular machine designs and machines with large dimensions or where there is limited space for the cabinet.
The configuration reduces the power loss in the cabinet, which, in turn, requires less air-conditioning. The volume and footprint of the cabinet can also be smaller. A pre-assembled hybrid cable contains all signal and power cables, so the total cable length is shorter and the cabling time is also reduced.
Sinamics S120M is connected to the AM600 adapter module via the hybrid cable and connected centrally to the existing Sinamics S120 system in the cabinet. All safety functions are available for safe stopping and motion monitoring of drives from the Sinamics S120 system.
Depending on the power, up to twelve distributed Sinamics S120M servo drives can be run on one adapter module, and any number of adapter modules can be run from an appropriately dimensioned power supply.
