System overview
1.4 Introduction
Electronic type plates in all components
All SINAMICS S120 components have an electronic type plate. This electronic type plate
contains all the relevant technical data about that particular component. In the motors, for
example, this data includes the parameters of the electric equivalent circuit diagram and
characteristic values for the built-in motor encoder. The Control Unit records this data
automatically via DRIVE-CLiQ so that it does not need to be entered during commissioning
or when the equipment is replaced.
In addition to the technical data, the type plate includes logistical data (manufacturer ID,
order number, and globally unique ID). Since this data can be called up electronically on site
or remotely, all the components used in a machine can always be individually identified,
which helps simplify servicing.
