Benefits
7
Less training time and costs and maximum number of
identical parts through the extensive product range of the
SINAMICS DC MASTER.
The standard and seamless series of SINAMICS DC MASTER
units addresses a wide current and voltage range. The series
of units is designed for connection to three-phase line sup-
plies. Furthermore, the units can also be connected to single-
phase line supplies up to and including a rated DC current of
125 A.
7
Flexible expandability regarding functionality and perfor-
mance.
The extensive product range and the many options allow the
DC Converter to be optimally adapted to customer require-
ments – both technically and economically. Different customer
requirements, the type and number of interfaces as well as the
computational performance and speed can be precisely
fulfilled by selecting between either a Standard CUD, an
Advanced CUD or a combination of both.
7
Plant and system availability are increased by being able to
quickly and simply replace components.
Replaceable components have been designed so that they
can be quickly and simply replaced. The spare parts that are
available can be viewed at any time, assigned to the serial
number of the unit.
7
Easy commissioning and parameterization using interactive
menus on the AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel with graph-
ics-capable, backlit LCD and plain-text display, or PC-sup-
ported using the STARTER commissioning tool (see "Tools and
engineering").
7
Since the SINAMICS DC MASTER is already pre-configured at
the factory, no device-specific parameters need to be set at
all. The device is adapted to the relevant application by pa-
rameters in a fully electronic process. The units do not feature
any potentiometers, switches, jumpers or DIP switches which
means that they can be put back into operation as soon as
they have been serviced.
7
During the complete production process, all of the compo-
nents are subject to comprehensive tests and checks. This
guarantees a high functional safety.
7
Can be easily integrated into automation solutions, e.g. using
a standard PROFIBUS communication interface and various
analog and digital interfaces.

Application
DC drive technology: Dynamic, rugged and cost effective
Depending on the application, DC drives are frequently the most
favorably-priced drive solution. They have many advantages
when it comes to reliability, operator friendliness and operating
characteristics. Just as before, there are some good technical
and economic reasons for still using DC drives in many industrial
areas:
•
Favorably-priced four-quadrant operation
•
Continuous operation at a low speed
•
Full torque and low torque ripple even at low speeds
•
High starting torque
•
High overload capability
•
Wide speed control range with constant power
•
Low space requirement and low weight
• Reliability
Main applications for DC drives include:
•
Rolling mill drives
•
Wire-drawing machines
•
Extruders and kneaders
• Presses
•
Elevators and cranes
•
Cableways and lifts
•
Mine hoists
•
Test stand drives
