Siemens recently introduced its newest servo offering to the North American manufacturing industry. With the new Sinamics S200 servo, comprising a Sinamics S200 drive and SIMOTICS S-1FL2 motor with standard or flexible cable options, Siemens brings a new level of motion control to the stand-alone and networked machine market.
This new servo package expands the Sinamics drive, offering a variety of application possibilities to the standard servo market. The pulse train version allows a wide range of installed machines to easily integrate additional positioning axis using the onboard positioner. Meanwhile, a dynamic networking capability to motion control, i.e., Simatic PLC expands its system capabilities in the Profinet version. With a power range up to 7kW including low-, medium- and high-inertia offerings, the 1FL2 permanent magnet motors with 17- or 21-bit encoders expand the performance, as well as scale to the widest range of standard servo requirements.
The electronic type plate on the 1FL2 motor and one-button tunning in the S200 drive assures easy setup. The integrated brake resistor and integrated holding brake control add to the functions in the S200 servo-drive, and built-in under-voltage protection is provided. High durability is designed in with the coated circuit boards (3C2) in the S200 and IP65 motors with metal connection solution.
