Overview
SINAMICS G130 drive converter chassis units in frame sizes FX + HX 

The SINAMICS G130 is a converter that can be combined very flexibly with the associated system components and integrated into customer-specific control cabinets or directly into machines. 

The SINAMICS G130 drive converter chassis units are available for the following voltages and power ratings: 

Line voltage                                                                        Power

380 V … 480 V 3 AC                                                          110 kW … 560 kW

500 V … 600 V 3 AC                                                          110 kW … 560 kW

660 V … 690 V 3 AC                                                          75 kW … 800 kW

A wide range of add-on electrical components allow the drive system to be optimized for specific requirements. Configuration and commissioning are greatly simplified by predefined interfaces. 

The control accuracy of the sensorless vector control is suitable for most applications, and additional actual speed value encoders are therefore superfluous. 

However, encoder evaluation units are available for the SINAMICS G130 converters so that they can address applications that require an encoder for plant-specific reasons. 

Communication between the Control Unit, the Power Module and other active SINAMICS components takes place via DRIVE-CLiQ, the drive’s internal interface. The DRIVE-CliQ connections, which are available as pre-assembled cables of different lengths, allow a complete converter system to be put together quickly. 

For communication with the process control system, with the CU320-2 either a PROFIBUS or a PROFINET interface is available as standard. There is also the option to expand the interface using digital and analog inputs and outputs. The TM31 Terminal Module and TB30 Terminal Board are provided for this purpose. Additional expansion cards can also be installed to allow communication via PROFINET and the CAN protocol.
