SIEMENS- SINAMICS G120D Drive

 SINAMICS G120D features functions like positioning, extended safety functions (including safety digital inputs and outputs) and a high level of energy efficiency (the first SINAMICS drive to support Siemens PROFIengergy platform). With its wide range of power ratings up to 10 Hp (7.5kW), almost all drives-related functions can be achieved without requiring electrical cabinets.  Digital inputs and outputs at the unit allow sensors and actuators to be directly connected at the drive whereby the input signals can either be directly processed in the drive and autonomous (independent) local responses can be initiated – or the input signals can be transferred and processed to a superior control via Feldbus.

The optimal single-motor drive for high-performance solutions The distributed approach allows motors to be controlled close to the actual application, reduces the number of motor cables required, improves electromagnetic compatibility, and reduces thermal losses.  Further, SINAMICS G120D sets new standards in distributed architectures: distinguishes itself by its extremely low-profile design, high degree of protection (IP65), and safety functions that make it absolutely unique in its class. Braking resistors aren’t required because it’s capable of energy recovery when in generating mode. As a result, it plays a decisive role in saving energy. The communication-capable drive has a modular design and covers a wide power range from 1 to 10 Hp (0.75 kW to 7.5 kW).
