Siemens Drive Technologies Division is launching a

new Control Unit variant with positioning capability

within the Sinamics G120 drive system on the mar-

ket – the new CU250S-2. It adds functional support

of vector control with encoder evaluation to the

existing Control Units. Comprehensive safety func-

tions are already integrated in the standard unit.

The new CU250S-2 Control Unit rounds off the

Sinamics G120 product portfolio upward and superse-

des the CU240S Control Unit with encoder interface.

Single-axis applications with induction motors, basic

positioning tasks and applications requiring many I/Os

are now supported. Moreover, all variants of the new

Control Unit also include by default the safety functions

STO („Safe Torque Off“), SBC („Safe Brake Control“),

and SS1 („Safe Stop 1“). In this way, applications with

basic safety requirements can already effortlessly be

implemented with the standard scope of supply. Exten-

ded safety functions can be activated via an optional

software license. In line with the modular concept of

the Sinamics G120 portfolio, the new Control Units

can also be freely combined with all relevant Power

Modules and support all applications so far addressed

by the Sinamics G120, both with and without encoder

evaluation. These include pump, fan, and compres-

sor applications, as well as mill, mixer, and extruder

applications in industries such as automotive, textile,

printing, chemicals, and material handling.
