Particularly quiet and compact converters due to the use ofstate-of-the-art IGBT power semiconductors and an innovativecooling concept.7 Individual modules and power components can be replacedquickly and easily, which ensures a higher level of plant availability.The design of replaceable components is based on theprinciple that they must be quick and easy to change. Inaddition, the "SparesOnWeb" Internet tool makes it easy toview the spare parts that are available for the system componentsordered.7 Can be easily integrated in automation solutions by means ofa standard communications interface as well as a range ofanalog and digital interfaces.7 Easy commissioning and parameterization using interactivemenus on the AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel with graphicLCD and plain-text display, or from a PC using the STARTERcommissioning tool (Tools and configuration).7 Preset software functions make it easier to tailor the converterto the individual plant.7 All components, from individual parts to the ready-to-connectcabinet, undergo rigorous testing throughout the entire productionprocess. This guarantees a high level of functionalreliability during installation and commissioning, as well as inoperation.ApplicationVariable-speed drives are ideal for all applications that involvemoving, conveying, pumping or compressing solids, liquids orgases.This means the following applications in particular: Pumps and fans Compressors Extruders and mixers MillsDocumentationThe documentation for the various drive units consists of thefollowing parts: Operating instructions Spare parts list Unit-specific dimension drawings, layout diagrams, circuitand terminal diagramsThe documentation is supplied as standard with the CU Kit onCD-ROM. The documentation is available in English, French,German, Italian and Spanish.DesignThe SINAMICS G130 drive converter chassis unit providesmachine builders and plant constructors with a modular drivesystem that can be tailored to specific applications.SINAMICS G130 drive converter chassis units consist of twomodular, stand-alone components: Power Module and Control UnitThey may be located separately from one another or combinedin a single unit. The Power Module contains a slot for the ControlUnit.The Power Modules are supplied with a DRIVE-CLiQ cable forcommunication and a cable for the 24 V supply to the ControlUnit. These cables are pre-assembled for installing the ControlUnit in the Power Module. If the two units are installed in separatelocations, the cables must be ordered in the appropriate lengths.The AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel and the BOP20 BasicOperator Panel can be used for commissioning and localoperation.Predefined interfaces, via terminal block or the CU320-2 ControlUnit with either PROFIBUS or PROFINET, make commissioningand control of the drive much easier. The interfaces of theCU320-2 Control Unit can be supplemented with add-onmodules, such as the plug-in TB30 Terminal Module or theTM31 Terminal Module.If further customer interfaces are needed to communicate withthe drive, an external 24 V supply must be provided.The two figures in the following pages are helpful when it comesto assembling the required converter components correctly.The first figure shows the design and individual components ofa SINAMICS G130 drive.The second figure is a flowchart containing the decision andselection criteria required for the individual components.Varnished PCBsThe following converter components are equipped as standardwith varnished PCBs: Power Modules Control Units Sensor Modules Terminal Modules Advanced Operator Panel (AOP30)The coating on the modules protects the sensitive SMDcomponents against corrosive gases, chemically active dustand moisture.Nickel-plated busbarsAll of the copper busbars of the Power Modules are nickelplatedin order to achieve the best possible immunity to environmentaleffects. Further, the bare copper connections do not have
