Overview
SINAMICS DC MASTER is the new generation of DC converters
from Siemens. The name SINAMICS DC MASTER – briefly:
SINAMICS DCM – embodies the strengths of this new genera-
tion. It combines the advantages of its predecessor
SIMOREG DC-MASTER, with the advantages of the SINAMICS
family.
When it comes to quality, reliability and functionality,
SINAMICS DC MASTER is not only on par with its predecessor –
but especially in the area of functionality – offers new features
and includes useful functions from its predecessor as standard.
SINAMICS DC MASTER is the new member of the SINAMICS
family that now makes many of the SINAMICS tools and compo-
nents known from AC technology available to DC technology.
As a scalable drive system, the SINAMICS DC MASTER series
of converters is convincing both for basic as well as demanding
applications. The DC Converter is equipped with a Standard
Control Unit (Standard CUD). The option of combining a
Standard CUD and Advanced CUD is used to address applica-
tions demanding a higher computational performance and more
interfaces.
The DC Converter of the SINAMICS DC MASTER series com-
bines the open-loop and closed-loop control and power sections
in one device. It especially sets itself apart as a result of the
compact, space-saving design.
The AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel and the BOP20 Basic
Operator Panel can be used for commissioning and local
operation.
The interfaces of the CUD and the number of digital inputs and
outputs can be supplemented using additional modules – such
as the TM15, TM31 and TM150 Terminal Modules.
The components of a DC drive system and how these are
logically interlinked are shown in the following diagram. A flow
diagram on pages 1/14 and 1/15 provides support when
selecting and dimensioning the required components.
