Core Functions & Specifications

• Dual Protocol Support:

• Network Compatibility: Natively supports PROFINET (IRT - Isochronous Real-Time) for high-speed, time-critical communication (cycle times as low as 125µs) and PROFIBUS DP (31.25kbps–12Mbps) for legacy industrial networks. Enables seamless integration with Siemens TIA Portal, allowing centralized configuration of drive parameters and real-time diagnostics.

• Data Transmission: Handles up to 1024 bytes of input/output data per cycle, supporting transmission of drive status (e.g., speed, torque, fault codes) and control commands (e.g., start/stop, setpoint adjustments) without packet loss.

• Drive-Specific Integration:

• Sinamics Compatibility: Fully compatible with Sinamics S120 (multi-axis drives) and S150 (single-axis high-power drives), connecting directly to drive Control Units (e.g., CU320-2 PN) via internal backplane bus. Supports hot-swap functionality, allowing module replacement without powering down the entire drive system—reducing maintenance downtime by 70%.

• Redundancy Features: Optional support for PROFINET media redundancy protocol (MRP) and PROFIBUS DP redundancy, ensuring network continuity in case of cable failures or switch malfunctions—critical for mission-critical applications like steel mill rolling lines.

• Industrial Durability:

• Environmental Resistance: Operates in -25°C to +60°C temperatures and 5%–95% humidity (non-condensing), withstanding harsh conditions in foundries and outdoor industrial facilities.

• EMC Compliance: Meets EN 61000-6-2 (industrial EMC immunity) and EN 61000-6-4 (industrial EMC emissions) standards, minimizing interference with nearby equipment (e.g., welding machines, high-voltage motors) and ensuring stable communication in electromagnetic noise-rich environments.

Application Scenarios

• Automotive Assembly Lines: Used in Sinamics S120 drives powering robotic welding stations. The module’s PROFINET IRT support ensures synchronized motion between 10+ robots (latency <1ms), preventing weld misalignment and reducing production defects by 30%.

• Steel Mill Rolling Mills: Deployed in Sinamics S150 drives for hot rolling stands. Its redundancy features (MRP) ensure uninterrupted communication with the central PLC, avoiding costly rolling line shutdowns caused by network failures—critical for 24/7 steel production.

• Logistics Distribution Centers: Integrated into Sinamics S120 drives for automated conveyor systems. The module’s high data throughput enables real-time tracking of conveyor speed and load, allowing the central SCADA system to optimize material flow and reduce energy consumption by 15%.
