The Sinamics G120C inverter from Siemens is now available with Profinet communication. The compact device is suitable for the operation of pumps, compressors, fans and mixers and extruders, and also for conveyors and simple handling machines. The target group includes mechanical engineering companies (OEMs) and distributors.
Siemens Drive Technologies Division is adding Profinet to its compact Sinamics G120C inverter for even greater communication versatility. Profinet now complements the Profibus, USS/Modbus RTU and CAN options already available to provide more enhanced efficiency and performance, enabling faster exchange of data for high-performance motion control applications. In addition, standard Ethernet communication and Profinet communication can be used in parallel.
The compact inverter offers high power densities, requiring up to 30% less installation space and providing up to 40% higher power density. Plug-in terminals make for fast installation, while a memory card slot enables fast series commissioning.
Each G120C comes with ‘Safety Integrated’ from Siemens as standard to ensure safe drive shutdown. A dual safety input is factory-fitted to accomplish Safe Torque Off function without the need for connecting external devices, while the vector mode enables precise, cost-effective control for energy-optimised operation of induction motors.
The inverter is available in the rated output range from 0,55 to 18,5 kW, optimised specially for use in small control cabinets located directly at the production machines, where simple speed-controlled drives with a high power density and space-saving design are often required.
