SINAMICS Technology Extensions (SINAMICS TEC)

■
Overview
The SINAMICS Technology Extensions are configurable functions
or Siemens technologies that can be added onto firmware func-
tions. The extensions are designed to allow implementation of
highly complex, targeted application-specific tasks for various
sectors such as test bays, storage and retrieval machines, trans-
portation systems based on linear motors or multi-winding motors
in machine manufacture.
The SINAMICS Technology Extensions are part of the Advanced
Technology Function and are added to the existing firmware as
self-contained software packages. They are easy to install using
the STARTER commissioning tool and expand the existing de-
vice functionality by the application-specific functions contained
in the software. The software is parameterized and diagnosed
using STARTER.
Installing these extended functions customizes the functionality
of the SINAMICS S120 inverter so that it meets the specific
requirements of the user.
SINAMICS Technology Extensions can be used for the following
drive systems (the way in which they are used depends on the
individual Technology Extension):
•
SINAMICS G130
•
SINAMICS G150
•
SINAMICS S120

Signal generator for test bays
with SINAMICS Technology Extension POLYGON
The Technology Extension POLYGON (Polygonal Line) is an
extension of the SINAMICS drive objects SERVO, VECTOR and
HLA.
The polygonal line application makes it possible to create a
master-value-dependent output signal based on a parameter-
ized characteristic in the current controller sampling time (or an
integer multiple of the current controller sampling time). The
characteristic is defined by up to 10000 equidistantly distributed
interpolation points between which linear interpolation is per-
formed. The y values of the interpolation points can be taken
from an Excel sheet using a script. By interconnecting the output
signals to different connector inputs, it is possible to create
various relationships via the characteristic functionality, e.g.:
•
Position-position reference
•
Position-speed reference
•
Position-torque reference
Vibration extinction for storage and retrieval machines
with SINAMICS Technology Extension VIBX
The Technology Extension VIBX (Vibration Extinction) is an
extension of the SINAMICS drive objects SERVO and VECTOR.
A setpoint filter is implemented in VIBX. The objective of the
setpoint filter is to change the setpoint of an axis so that there is
as little vibration as possible caused in the natural frequency
range of the moving mechanical components. This function is
primarily deployed on storage and retrieval machines to signifi-
cantly reduce mast vibrations caused by acceleration and
braking. It has been demonstrated that reducing vibrations will
allow the mast to come to a standstill more quickly, thus enabling
it to handle goods faster.
The SINAMICS Technology Extension Vibration Extinction imple-
mented as setpoint filter can be used both in basic positioners
(EPos) and Dynamic Servo Controls (DSC) together with a con-
troller in the drive. For this purpose, two modes of application are
supported by the Technology Extension:
•
EPos and LR application mode
•
DSC application mode
The filter characteristics can be set using frequency and damp-
ing (attenuation). The filter frequency can be linearly changed
between two limit values via an input during operation. This
means that the filter frequency can be tracked to follow the
changing natural frequency of a mechanical system (e.g. as a
result of different load states) (online frequency change).
Point-to-point connection between two CUs
with SINAMICS Technology Extension OALINK
The Technology Extension OALINK (Open Application Link) is a
SINAMICS extension for the CU320-2 Control Unit.
The OALINK enables bidirectional communication between two
Control Units based on DRIVE-CLiQ to facilitate the simple ex-
change of data. In this way, an additional Control Unit can be
integrated as a technology extension for extensive drive-based
technology with SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (DCC).
