SIROLL Drives SINAMICS S120 for SESM

Two-step migration solution for separately excited synchronous machines (SESM)
for former Master Drive solutions.
SIROLL Drives SINAMICS S120 for separately excit-
ed synchronous machines gives our customers the
opportunity to upgrade their old first- or second-
generation drive system to the state-of-the-art
SINAMICS technology with a small maintenance
budget. The reliable Siemens motors stay in place,
and the previous spare parts agreement is reset.
The customer has the choice to either revamp the
whole system or to start by upgrading the existing
control-retaining power equipment with reliable
Master Drive components.
Your challenge:
Rapid developments in the market place high de-
mands on steel producers. A single day of shutdown
brings with it steep income losses and may cause a
delay in delivery dates. Only highly available systems
are capable of strengthening your company in such
a challenging environment. This requires a high per-
formance from the entire plant, and also relies on
a sufficient spare parts supply and available service
support and system knowledge. That is especially
true for the spare parts supply for rolling drives.
The first generation of Siemens low-voltage, sepa-
rate ly excited synchronous machines was produced
from 1996 to 1999/2001. These systems operate
with the earlier SIMADYN D with PT20G control
equipment for auxiliaries and excitation and with
SITOR power assemblies for the field supply. Produc-
tion of most components of the first generation has
been discontinued, and after-sales service support
is no longer available. The phase-out of the second
generation SESM with Master Drives begins in Octo-
ber 2011. Therefore, it is high time for a sustainable
migration strategy.
Our solution:
As your reliable partner, Siemens is fully aware of
your needs to modernize your mill drives. Therefore,
we have developed customized modernization pack-
ages that help you stay competitive.
Siemens migration strategy for separately excited
synchronous machines offers a two-step modern-
ization.
In the first step, the control system of the auxiliari-
es and the Master Drives control, as well as all ex-
citation and ET stations, are replaced with state-of-
the-art components that are part of the SINAMICS/
SIMOTION and SIMATIC S7 family. The communi-
cation interface will be adjusted accordingly.
In the second step, the Master Drives power section
will be replaced with the SINAMICS S120 solution.
Alternatively to a step-by-step migration, Siemens
offers a full transition from the first generation
to a full SINAMICS solution.
The new absolute single-turn encoder
will be read in via the SSI telegram inter-
face. When the migration is complete,
the entire system will run on up-to-date
SINAMICS/SIMOTION control components
that convert the system to state-of-the-
art technology.
Lean control interfaces
The number of communication interfaces
will be reduced by focusing and stream-
ing most functions in the SIMOTION con-
trol unit. The interface to the automation
will be reduced to one channel, and it
will be preequipped for later automation
upgrades. This reduces the complexity of
the system and prepares it for fast and
simple modernizations in the future.
Migration step two
In the second migration step, the power
section of the drive system will be re-
placed by the new S120 power section,
which upgrades the entire converter to
the latest version of the SINAMICS family.
Relevant systems
The following systems can be migrated:
First generation (1996 to 1999/2001):
CU2 drive control board
T300 technology board
SITOR-based excitation
SIMADYN PT20G auxiliary
and excitation control
ET200U motor box
The following systems can be revamped:
First generation system/
second generation (2001 to 2008):
CUVC drive control board
T400 technology board
S7-300
SIMOREG DCM 6RA70 excitation
Master Drives power section
Migration step one
The first step in the migration of a first-
generation drive system is an upgrade of
the control systems. The entire auxiliary
system will be replaced and controlled by
a SIMOTION control unit. The technologi-
cal functions of the drive system will be
integrated into the SIMOTION control.
A new, state-of-the-art ET200S replaces
the ET200U. SINAMICS DCM 6RA80 will
replace the old excitation. The communi-
cation to the automation will be simpli-
fied, leaner, and adjusted accordingly.

Advantages of
SIROLL Drives S120 for SESM:
Improved availability
A secure spare parts supply
and service support guarantee
long-term plant availability.
Safety-integrated functions
The new SINAMICS S120 offers
new safety-integrated functions.
Investment protection
Existing motors can remain in place.
High reliability
The new control system requires
fewer hardware components, and
so less repair and maintenance.
Absolute single-turn SSI encoder
SSI telegram interface for deter-
mining rotor position angles is
fast and fail-safe.
Recover space
The new auxiliary cubicles require
less space than the previous system.
Lean communication
Communication interfaces are
reduced to a minimum, which in
turn reduces complexity and in-
creases operator understanding
and handling.
