COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises.  Theory learnt will be applied using one of our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of SIEMENS SINAMICS S120. It covers the SINAMICS S120 drive system, hardware components, motor and encoder technologies and DRIVE-CLiQ topology; the safety integrated functions, compliance with international standards, safe torque off (STO) implementation and risk assessment and safety validation; the STARTER software installation and system requirements, user interface navigation, project creation and management and connecting to devices via PROFIBUS/PROFINE; and creating and organizing drive objects, assigning hardware components and parameter hierarchy and inheritance. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the parameterization techniques, control and setpoint channels and automatic motor optimization; the operating modes, data management, diagnostic tools in STARTER and basic positioner (EPOS); setting up PROFIBUS and PROFINET connections, configuring telegrams and data exchange; and establishing communication with PLCs and diagnosing communication issues.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the safety functions implementation, web server and remote access, firmware and software updates and PLC integration; the drive control chart (DCC) and advanced diagnostics, maintenance procedures and energy efficiency optimization; and adapting drive configurations for specific needs, scaling systems for different applications and integrate additional modules.
