Simodrive Repair
Dynamic Testing being performed on a Simodrive

Once we receive your Siemens drive, it is thoroughly cleaned and visually inspected for any visible deficiencies. We then methodically test every component on the drive, replacing any that no longer function or meet our strict quality standards. After all faulty components are replaced, the drive must complete all of our functional testing requirements before being packaged and shipped back to its owner.

All of our repairs come with a 12-Month Complete Coverage Warranty. If any problems occur in that time frame, MRO Electric will repair or replace your drive at no charge.

Joe Kaminski 5 Comments

Often people have difficulty installing a replacement drive that we send out, and normally it just takes the troubleshooting tips from the manual to get them up and running. However, the manual isn’t always the easiest to find or sort through, so below we’re posting the Siemens Micromaster 420 Troubleshooting section from the manual which should help anyone who is working to get the issues with their drive sorted out.

MRO Electric supplies and repairs Micromaster 420 Drives. To request a quote for a repair or spare, please call 800-691-8511 or email sales@mroelectric.com.

Simodrive 611 Power Modules – Manual Anthologies

Joe Kaminski Leave a comment

Simodrives 611 power modules can be used to operate the following motors: 

  • 1FT6, 1FK6 and 1FK7 servo motors 
  • 1FW6 built–in torque motors (direct drives) 
  • 1FN linear motors 
  • 1PH main spindle motors 
  • Standard induction motors; if IM operation is selected, only inverter pulse frequencies of 4 kHz and 8 kHz are permissible. 
  • 1PM hollowshaft motors for main spindle drives (direct drives) 
  • 1FE1 main spindle motors 
  • 2SP1 motor spindle 
  • Third–party motors, if according to the motor manufacturer the motor meets the requirements for sine modulation, insulation, and dV/dt resistance.

For special motors with a low leakage inductance (where the controller settings are not adequate), it may be necessary to provide a series reactor in the form of a 3–arm iron core reactor (not a Corovac reactor) and/or increase the inverter pulse frequencies of the converter. Motors with a low leakage inductance are, from experience, motors that can achieve high stator frequencies (maximum motor stator frequency > 300 Hz) or motors with a high rated current (rated current > 85 A).

A wide range of 1–axis or 2–axis power modules is available. These modules are graded according to the current ratings and can be supplied with three different cooling techniques. The current–related data refers to the series–preset values. At higher frequencies of the fundamental waves or for higher clock cycle frequencies, ambient temperatures and installation altitudes above 1000 m above sea level, power deratings apply as subsequently listed. Matched, pre–assembled cables are available to connect the motors. Ordering information is provided in the ”Motors” section of the NC 60 catalog. Shield terminal plates are available to meet EMC requirements when using shielded power cables.

The equipment bus cable is included in the scope of supply of the power module. The drive bus cables must be ordered separately for the digital system. The current data of the power modules (PM modules) are normalized values to which all of the control units refer. The output currents can be limited by the control unit being used.

MRO Electric offers both New and Remanufactured Siemens Simodrives 611. Please visit our Siemens CNC and Automation Page for more information. You may also contact sales@mroelectric.com or call 1-800-691-8511.

Joe Kaminski Leave a comment

You can check out our previous blog post on the 6FC5357-0BB35-0AA0 here for more information. Check out our websites to see all of our Siemens products.

The 6FC5357-0BB35-0AA0 configuration features a modular design comprising line filter, commutating reactor, line supply infeed module, drive modules as well as, when required: monitoring, pulsed resistor and capacitor module(s). Satisfactory operation is ensured only in conjunction with the components that are described in the 6FC5357-0BB35-0AA0 Configuration Manual or published in the Catalog NC60 (Internet Mall) and with adherence to the required boundary/application conditions. Modules can also be arranged in several tiers one above the other or next to one another.

The housings of the  6FC5357-0BB35-0AA0 converter system modules are enclosed and EMC–compatible as specified in EN 60529 (IEC 60529). The electrical system is designed to comply with EN 50178 (VDE 0160) and EN 60204, and an EC declaration of conformity is available. The connections in the module group, motor cables, encoder lines and bus lines must be made using preassembled MOTION–CONNECT lines.

Due to the limited conductivity of the DC link busbars of the modules with module width 150 mm, the DC link power PZK of these modules must not exceed 55 kW. Larger DC link busbars must be used if this restriction cannot be complied with. The DC link power PZK of the subsequent modules is calculated according to the engineering rule specified in the manual. The larger DC link busbars can be ordered as a set. The set includes reinforced DC link busbars for module widths 50 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm. The standard DC link brackets between the modules may not be changed, even when strengthened DC link busbars are used.

The steps for 1p 6SN1123-1AA00-0EA1 Manual Configuration and Setup are below as a follow up to our previous entry here.
 
Start-up Possibilities for 1p 6SN1123-1AA00-0EA1 Configuration
using
- operator control and display elements (refer to Section 1.3)
- RS232C interface with an IBM AT–compatible computer and start–up soft-
ware
 
Re-initialize Drive Converter (if required)
If an already initialized drive–converter is to be re–initialized, then proceed as
follows:
- if required, back–up the setting data (parameters)
- remove write protection: Set P–051 to 4H
- start initialization: Set P–097 to 0H
- overwrite the parameters in the drive–machine data memory: Set P–052 to 1H, and wait until P–052 resets itself to 0H.
- power–on reset:
Power–down the unit and power–up approximately 2 s after the display has disappeared:
P–095 must then appear in the display.
- initialize
 
Firmware Replacement (if required)
The firmware can be replaced using the user–prompted start–up software for
main spindle– and induction motor modules, from version V2.00.
 
Firmware release
before FW 3.00 -> 6SN1121–0BA1_–0AA0
from FW3.00 -> 6SN1121–0BA11–0AA1
 
Procedure:
- back–up setting data (parameters)
- replace the firmware using the start–up program
- initialize with the pulses and controller inhibited
- re–load the backed–up settings
- back–up the setting data in the drive–machine data memory
 
Start-up of series machines, module replacement, component replacement
The drive converter setting data (parameters) can be saved on floppy disk using
the start–up software. Proceed as follows to start–up additional drive converters
(start–up of series machines):
1.Initialize with the pulses and controllers inhibited:
Enter P–095 power module code number
– Motor code number and motor encoder pulse number are saved on the floppy disk, and therefore do not have to be entered.
– Start initialization.
2. Load and save the setting data from the floppy disk.
