Issued: 02/2008 Frequency Converter SINAMICS G120 on PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET
Preface Notes Startup with PROFIBUS Startup with PROFINET Program Example
General Features of the SINAMICS G120
Flexibility through modularity for a future proof drive concept:
• Tailored to the customer, selectable and scalable
• Modules can be exchanged live (hot swap)
• Insertable terminals
• Easily exchanged; very maintenance-friendly
● Because of the safety functionalties, less effort when integrating drives into safety oriented
machines are plants
• Capable of communicating with PROFIBUS and PROFINET with PROFIdrive Profile 4.0
• Reduction of interfaces
• Plant-wide engineering
• Simple handling
• Increased robustness and longer life because of an innovative cooling concept and painted
electronic modules
• Simple device exchange and time-saving copying of parameters by means of the Basic
Operator Panel (BOP) or the optional memory card MMC
• Non-volatile storage of the parameter settings –either in the EEPROM of the CU or
on an MMC
• Low noise motor operation because of high pulse frequency
• Compact design that saves space
• Software parameters for simple adaptation to 50Hz or 60Hz motors
(IEC or NEMA motors)
• 2/3 wire control (static/pulsed signals) for universal control by means of the digital inputs
• Signal wiring by means of binector/connector (BICO) technology possible
• Different data sets can be selected
• Robust, non-sensitive EMC configuration
• LED status display at the control unit
• Built-in brake chopper for dynamic braking
• Fast Current Limitation (FCL), to prevent undesired disconnections during operation
• Engineering and startup with standard engineering tools such as SIZER and
STARTER ensure fast configuring and simple startups
• Globally certified according to CE, UL, cUL, c-tick, and Safety Integrated according to IEC
61508 SIL 2
• With PM250 or PM260 capability of energy regeneration and regenerative breaking
