Supported migration to the next generation of industrial converters for motors and drives

RS Components is providing support for its customers that are looking to migrate to the latest generation of the Siemens SINAMICS drive products from the proven MICROMASTER line of converters for motors and drives. Siemens has developed a new generation of converters to replace the MICROMASTER family, which has reached its limits of functionality and performance and is due to be discontinued in late 2018. Targeting customers such as machine builders and those involved in plant construction, the new range of converters offer additional advantages to meet the latest application requirements. Advantages include more power, performance and higher functionality, opening up new possibilities to improve plants, systems and products. Additional functionality consists of a power range up to 132kW, integrated safety, Profinet/Ethernet IP communications, graphic commissioning, rugged and dynamic control response, integrated DC link reactor, combined positioning function, and extended pump, fan and compressor functions.
