The servo drive system for medium-complexity higher dynamic motion control applications

SINAMICS S210 / SIMOTICS S-1FK2 servo drive system

The SINAMICS S210 servo drive system offers a wide range of power ratings up to 7 kW (10 Hp). The drive features integrated safety functions and streamlined engineering. Connected to the higher-level PLC over PROFINET industrial Ethernet, the drive allows simpler commissioning using a web server as well as one-button tuning. Working in concert with SIMOTICS S-1FK2 servo motors, SINAMICS S210 allows for highly dynamic movement of minimal loads as well as ultra-precise movement of medium and higher loads.

How to couple maximum efficiency with simple engineering and intuitive operation

The new, versatile SINAMICS S210 servo drive system is as compact and easy to handle, as it is powerful. The single-axis S210 converter is connected to the SIMOTICS S-1FK2 servomotor using a single space-saving cable. Commissioning is completely intuitive using a web server or through the Siemens Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal).

The system is particularly well-suited for dynamic, discontinuous applications found in OEM machines, leveraging its strengths when the application involves precise positioning and motion control. To achieve high dynamic performance, all motion sequences are executed with the SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers and command the S210 converters via PROFINET.

IF Product Design Award Gold 2019 for the SIMOTICS S-1FK2

"It is truly astounding to see the technical significance of every detail and every component of the servo motor series and the distinctive design language is highly impressive. The functions are flexible since the appearance remains entirely unchanged when the motors are combined. The stylish and well-designed interface enhances the elegance of the Siemens brand. Simply brilliant!"

Overview and selection From the ideal servomotor, the optimum servo drive, with suitable cables and connectors to the right controller, follow the simple steps below to arrive at the perfect configuration for your specific application.

Step 1: The ideal servomotor

Teamed up in a drive system with SINAMICS S210 servo drives, SIMOTICS S‑1FK2 / 1FT2 / 1FS2 servomotors provide short control and positioning times, fast and precise control response to disturbances and stable closed-control with high dynamic performance.

Depending on the specific application, two servomotor versions are available:

High Dynamic: Highest dynamic response through a low inertia for highly dynamic applications with low moved masses
Compact: Precise, stable control with medium to high masses to be moved with medium moment of inertia

Step 2: The optimum servo drive

The SINAMICS S210 servo drive (the subject of the pag you're on) covers a power range from 0.1 up to 7 kW. In conjunction with a servomotor from the SIMOTICS S-1FK2 / 1FT2 / 1FS2 product series, the system is predominantly designed for discontinuous applications in the machinery construction domain that require high dynamic performance. SINAMICS S210 fully leverages its strengths when the application involves precise positioning and motion control. Even with the highest dynamic performance, all motion sequences are implemented with the utmost precision.

Step 3: The matching cables

Motor connecting cables – OCC (One Cable Connection)

All motors and drives of the SINAMICS S210 servo system are connected using just one single cable that transfers the power, connects an encoder and controls the brake – using simple connection without special tools.

Step 4: The matching controller

SIMATIC S7-1500 / SIMATIC S7-1500 T-CPU / SIMOTION

In conjunction with the SIMATIC S7-1500 and SIMATIC S7-1500 T-CPU, the SINAMICS S210 servo drive system with PROFINET is an optimally harmonized and coordinated motion control solution in the TIA Portal. Motion control functions – such as positioning, synchronous operation, cams etc. – are implemented using SIMATIC technology objects available in the SIMATIC S7-1500 control. The appropriate fail-safe SIMATIC variants are available for safety applications. The connection to the SINAMICS S210 servo drive system is made via clock-synchronous PROFINET IRT and the safety connection (in case of faulty Simatic S7 - 1500 F) directly via PROFIsafe.

High-end SIMOTION motion control may be applied in special situations.

Typical applications With its surprisingly powerful performance, SINAMICS S210 is an ideal solution for many types of packaging machines, along with handling systems, plastics processing as well as digital printing.
