SINAMICS DCM DC Converters and DCM Control Module
SINAMICS DCM DC Converters
General description
When it comes to quality, reliability and functionality, SINAMICS DC MASTER DC Converter is absolutely on par with its predecessor SIMOREG DC-MASTER. However, new features have been added and useful functions from the predecessor series have been included as standard.
SINAMICS DC MASTER is the new member of the SINAMICS family, which has many of the SINAMICS tools and components known from the three-phase AC technology, which have now also been made available for DC technology.
The SINAMICS DC MASTER DC Converter range of DC converters sets itself apart as a scalable drive system – for basic as well as demanding drive applications. For the standard closed-loop control, the DC converter is equipped with a standard Control Unit for converters (standard CUD). Expanding the drive system using an additional Control Unit for converters (Advanced CUD) makes sense to address applications requiring a higher computational performance.
The DC converters of the SINAMICS DC MASTER series combines open loop and closed-control and power units in one device and especially sets itself apart as a result of its compact, space-saving design.
The Advanced Operator Panel AOP30 and the BOP20 operator panel are available for commissioning and local control.
The interfaces of the CUD and the number of digital inputs and outputs can be supplemented using additional modules, such as the TM15 and TM31 Terminal Modules.
Features
- Variance of the Control Units
- Field power supply in-line with requirements in the field
- 24 V DC electronics power supply
- Power unit is insulated with respect to ground
- Free function blocks are integrated in the standard version and Drive Control Chart
- Functionality can be expanded using SINAMICS components
- Can be connected to single-phase line supplies
- Coated modules and nickel-plated copper busbars
- Wide temperature range
- PROFIBUS as standard / PROFINET optional
Customer benefits
- The training time and costs are reduced and the maximum number of identical components as a result of the extensive product range of SINAMICS DC MASTER. The seamless and integrated series of SINAMICS DC MASTER units encompasses a wide current and voltage range. The series of converters is designed to be connected to three-phase line supplies.
- Flexible expandability regarding both functionality and performance. The extensive product range and the many options allow the DC converter to be optimally adapted to customer requirements – both technically and economically. Different customer requirements relating to the computational performance and peripherals (I/O) can be precisely fulfilled with the ability to select between either a Standard CUD, an Advanced CUD – or a combination of both.
- The plant or system availability is increased by being able to quickly and simply exchange components. Components that can be exchanged have been designed so that they can be quickly and simply replaced. The spare parts that are available – assigned to the serial number of the drive unit – can always be viewed.
- Simple commissioning and parameterization, menu-assisted at the AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel with graphics-capable LCD display and plain text display or PC-supported using the STARTER commissioning tool.
- Simple integration into automation solutions, e.g. using the PROFIBUS communication interface provided as standard together with various analog and digital interfaces.

SINAMICS DCM Control Module
General description
The SINAMICS DC MASTER Control Module offers the optimum solution when retrofitting and modernizing existing DC drives. Contrary to the SINAMICS DC MASTER DC Converter, which comprises open-loop control, closed loop control and power unit, the Control Module is especially used if, as part of the modernization, the power unit of the existing plant or system should be kept. When it comes to quality, reliability and functionality, the SINAMICS DC MASTER Control Module is exactly the same as its predecessor – the SIMOREG CM; however, when it comes to functionality, it offers new features from the range of the SINAMICS DC MASTER.
There are many plants and systems with DC technology, which in the present version, can no longer be coupled to state-of-the-art automation systems. When retrofitting or upgrading these plants or systems, the existing motor, mechanical system and power unit are kept and the control unit is replaced by the Control Module. Therefore you can obtain a state-of-the-art DC drive at an extremely favorable price with the full functional scope of the well-proven, fully digitized units from the SINAMICS DC MASTER series.
The flexible design as well as the additional pre-assembled cable harnesses and mounting parts and components that are available, simplify integration into existing plants and systems. Adaptation to the configuration and to the power data of the existing components is realized through simple parameterization.
The SINAMICS DC MASTER Control Module sets itself apart as a result of a compact space-saving design – although it includes a field power unit. In order to optimally utilize the mounting/installation space in the plant or system the SINAMICS DC MASTER Control Module can be split depthwise.
Features
- Variance of the Control Units
- 24 V DC electronics power supply
- Integrated field power unit
- Free function blocks are integrated in the standard version and Drive Control Chart
- Functionality can be expanded using SINAMICS components
- Compact design and can be split depthwise
- Coated modules
- Wide temperature range
- PROFIBUS as standard / PROFINET optional
Customer benefits
Motor, mechanical system and the power unit are kept, only the control section is replaced by the SINAMICS DC MASTER Control Module. In this case, the full functional scope of the SINAMICS DC MASTER series of units can be utilized – and you obtain an extremely favorably-priced, state-of-the-art DC drive which can be integrated into the TIA concept of the plant or system; and by using an Advanced Operator Panel AOP30, a favorably priced alternative is obtained to control cabinet measuring instruments.
This is how you can rejuvenate old plants and systems – and obtain an efficient retrofit solution.
Typical applications
The main applications for the SINAMICS DC MASTER Control Module include the retrofit and modernization of DC drives in existing plants and systems, especially high-rating drives.
In DC technology, there are many older systems, which still employee analog technology; these systems cannot be connected to a state-of-the-art automation system – or only with high associated costs.
