SIMOTION CX32‑2 Controller Extension

CBE30‑2 Communication Board

TB30 Terminal Board

The SIMOTION CX32‑2 Controller Extension is a module in SINAMICS S120 booksize format. It enables the extension of the drive-side computing performance of the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Control Units.

The integrated drive computing performance enables the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Control Units to operate up to 6 servo, 6 vector or 12 V/f axes.

The SIMOTION CX32‑2 Controller Extension extends the drive computing performance by up to 6 additional servo, 6 vector or 12 V/f axes. This allows the number of axes of a multi-axis system to be increased according to the requirements of the application.

If required, several CX32‑2 Controller Extensions can be operated on one SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Control Unit.

With a width of 25 mm (0.98 in), the CX32‑2 Controller Extension requires very little space and is therefore well-suited for use in compact machines.

The CX32‑2 Controller Extension is connected to the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 via DRIVE‑CLiQ, so high-performance, isochronous closed-loop control of the drives is possible without the need for additional modules. The communication interfaces on the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 remain available for other connections.

The addressing of the Controller Extension is independent of the addressing on PROFINET/PROFIBUS. This is advantageous for modular machine concepts.

Simple cabling and configuration

The Control operation ** from an infeed connected to the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 is particularly easy to interconnect to the drives of the CX32‑2 Controller Extension.

The CX32‑2 Controller Extension does not require its own CompactFlash card. Data is managed centrally on the CompactFlash card of the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Control Unit. This has the following advantages:

Simple module replacement (no operator action required on the CX32‑2, such as memory card replacement)

During firmware upgrades, the CX32‑2 Controller Extension is automatically upgraded with the integrated drive of the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Control Unit

Central license handling via the SIMOTION D4x5‑2

Example: Group of 12 axes with SIMOTION D4x5-2 and SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extension

The SIMOTION CX32‑2 Controller Extension is connected to the SIMOTION D4x5‑2 via DRIVE‑CLiQ.

In this way, a very compact axis grouping can be implemented, for example, with 12 servo axes.

If required, several SIMOTION CX32‑2 Controller Extensions can be operated on one SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Control Unit.

Max. 3 CX32‑2 units on one SIMOTION D425‑2

Max. 5 CX32‑2 units on one SIMOTION D435‑2, D445‑2 or D455‑2

In principle, a 4th or 6th CX32‑2 Controller Extension can also be connected. In this case, no drives / drive components can be connected any longer to the integrated drive control of the SIMOTION D4x5‑2. All drives must then be operated via the connected Controller Extensions. This can be useful, for example, when implementing distributed, modular machine concepts .

Additional drive controls can be implemented with SINAMICS S110/S120 Control Units via PROFINET or PROFIBUS.

Note

The SIMOTION CX32‑2 Controller Extension can only be used with SIMOTION D4x5‑2 Control Units. Operation with SIMOTION D4x5 Control Units is not possible.

The SIMOTION CX32 Controller Extension must be used for the SIMOTION D435 and D445-1 Control Units (Article No. 6SL3040-0NA00-0AA0).
