Siemens SINAMICS SMC10, SMC20, and SMC30 drives include high-performance single drives and coordinated drives (multiple-axis applications) with vector or servo functionalities that allow for implementation of truly customized high performance drive solutions for the ultimate in flexibility and increased productivity. In addition to an innovative system architecture and digital communication options, these drives come in a variety of designs and cooling types, each delivering performance from 0.16 to 6,000 HP, and feature efficient engineering and quick commissioning resulting from innovative tools and simple wiring. The SINAMICS series is built to be as streamlined with your automation operations as possible. Different Siemens SINAMICS S120 versions can be combined as required through the DRIVE-CLiQ interface.

A few of the popular modules for the SINAMICS S120 series of drives are the SMC Sensor Modules. The cabinet-mounted sensor module is necessary to evaluate the encoder signals of motors without  a DRIVE-CLiQ interface.

Part Numbers:

• SMC10 – 6SL3055-0AA00-5AA3 – Used for determining the actual motor speed and the rotor position angle
• SMC20 – 6SL3055-0AA00-5BA3 – Used for determining the actual motor speed and the path length
• SMC30 – 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA2 – Used for determining the actual motor speed

The SMC10/20/30 Sensor Modules feature the following connections and interfaces:

• 1 encoding connection including motor temperature sensing via SUB D-connector
• 1 DRIVE-CLiQ interface
• 1 power supply connection (24 V DC connection)
• 1 PE connection

The Voltage Sensing Module VSM10 is integrated in chassis format AIMs but may also be used to improve booksize ALMs compensation for fluctuations in the supply voltage. An Active Interface Module (AIM) is essential for the operation of an ALM. The AIM contains a reactor and filter to ensure compliance with category C3 (EN 61800-3) EMC regulations. An additional EMC filter is available for booksize modules to restrict emissions to within limits set by category C2(EN 61800-3) EMC regulations – however, a TN supply is required. The VSM10 provides a feed forward control signal of the actual supply voltage rather than requiring the ALM to detect and then react to any fluctuations in the DC bus. It  is used to operate a permanent-magnet synchronous machine without encoder with the requirement for switching to a machine which is already running (flying restart function).

The VSM10 features the following interfaces:

• 1 connection for direct voltage sensing up to 690 V
• 1 connection for voltage sensing using voltage transformers, maximum voltage 100 V
• 1 temperature sensor input (KTY84‑130 or PTC)
• 1 DRIVE-CLiQ socket
• 1 connection for the electronics power supply via the 24 V DC supply connector
• 1 plug-in jumper for either grounded (delivery state) or isolated measurement
• 1 PE connection

The status of the VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module is indicated by a two-color LED. The VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module can be snapped onto a TH 35 mounting rail according to EN 60715 (IEC 60715). Below is a wiring diagram for the the VSM10:

The AOP30 is an operator panel with graphical display/membrane keyboard and has a part number of 6SL3055-0AA00-4CA5. The device can be installed in a cabinet door which is between 2 mm and 4 mm thick. It is an input/output device for converters of the SINAMICS series, preferably for cabinet installation. The AOP30 includes the following features:

• Graphical backlit LCD display for plain text display and a bar display of process variables
• LEDs for display of the operating states
• Help function describing causes of and remedies for faults and alarms
• Keypad for operational control of a drive

The current operating states, setpoints and actual values, parameters, indices, faults and alarms are displayed on the display panel. Desired language must be downloaded to the AOP30 prior to commissioning. If just one CU320‑2 Control Unit controls several power units (multi-motor drives) in the SINAMICS S120 drive system, the parameters, alarms and faults of all the connected devices can be simultaneously displayed and processed on the AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel.

The AOP30 Operator Panel can be used for the following activities:

• • Parameterization

• • Monitoring status variables

• • Controlling the drive

• Diagnosing faults and alarms

Terminal Modules are used to add further input and output interfaces to the S120 drive system. Terminal Modules are connected to the Control Unit using DRIVE-CLiQ.  DRIVE-CLiQ is a proprietary networking system by Siemens that aims to prevent packet loss and removes some of the collision handling capability. This allows for a high speed deterministic system, but also means that the protocol is not suitable for wireless or slip-ring communication. The TM120 module is used in evaluating temperatures. The temperature is monitored for the following sensors:

• PT100
• PT1000
• KTY84
• Bimetallic NC contact

The TM150 features 2 DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces, 4 temperature sensor inputs, and one power supply.

The part number for the Siemens SINAMICS TM120 terminal module is 6SL3055-0AA00-3KA0.

The SINAMICS TM120 is just one of many additional components that are available for S120 systems. These control units significantly reduce system costs, as they increase functionality for positioning, safety integration, and drive control allowing all these functions to be controlled by one unit versus several. There is also additional flexibility with a high number of programming options and digital inputs. With up to 12 binary inputs, the modules’ high I/O count add ease of use. The additional Ethernet port expands programming options as well.
