Power Module
Power Modules PM250
The ideal Power Module for requirements with regenerative feedback. This means that any braking energy is directly fed back into the supply system (four-quadrant applications – a braking chopper is not required).
The PM250 Power Module is available for the following voltage and power ranges:
- 380 V – 480 V 3 AC ±10% 7.5 kW to 90 kW
Power Modules PM240-2
The ideal Power Module for standard applications in mechanical engineering. PM240-2 Power Modules have a braking chopper (four-quadrant applications) and are suitable for a large number of applications in general mechanical engineering.
The PM240-2 Power Module is available for the following voltage and power ranges:
- 200 V … 240 V 1 AC/3 AC 0.55 kW … 4.0 kW
- 200 V … 240 V 3 AC 5.5 kW … 55 kW
- 380 V … 480 V 3 AC 0.55 kW … 250 kW
- 500 V … 690 V 3 AC 11 kW … 250 kW
Control Unit
- CU230P-2 series Control Unit – the specialist for pumps, fans and compressors
- The specific Control Unit (CU230P-2) is especially suitable for drives with integrated technology functions for pump, fan and compressor applications. The I/O interface, the fieldbus interfaces, and the additional software functions support these applications in an optimum way.
- CU250S-2 series Control Unit – for high-performance applications in general mechanical engineering
- The specific Control Unit (CU250S-2) is especially suitable for drives with high speed and torque accuracy requirements. The I/O interface, the fieldbus interfaces, and the additional software functions support these applications in an optimum way.
- CU240E-2 series Control Unit – for standard applications in general mechanical engineering
- The standard Control Unit (CU240E-2) with expanded I/O quantity structure is ideal for encoderless applications with safety requirements.
- CUA20 Control Unit Adapter Kit – a simple and alternative way of installing the devices in cabinets
- To enable a spatial and thermal separation of the Power Module and Control Unit in control cabinet installations, the SINAMICS Control Unit Adapter Kit CUA20 is available. The Adapter Kit CUA20 is compatible with all Control Units (CU230P-2, CU250S-2, CU240E-2).
