SIEMENS SINAMICS SMC30
Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted
Product Overview
The Siemens SINAMICS SMC30 Sensor Module with article number 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA2 is a cabinet-mounted encoder interface module designed for the SINAMICS drive system. It evaluates encoder signals from motors and external encoders that do not have a direct DRIVE-CLiQ interface, enabling accurate actual-value acquisition for advanced drive-control applications.
This specific version supports TTL/HTL incremental encoders and SSI encoders, and is supplied without a DRIVE-CLiQ cable. It features a compact 30 mm overall width, making it suitable for space-efficient industrial control cabinets.
Key Features
Encoder Signal Evaluation
Supports incremental encoder signals including TTL and HTL, as well as SSI encoders with or without incremental signals.
Motor Temperature Monitoring
The SMC30 can also process motor temperature sensor signals such as KTY84-130, Pt1000, and PTC, providing additional monitoring capability for drive applications.
DRIVE-CLiQ Integration
An integrated DRIVE-CLiQ interface provides communication with compatible SINAMICS control units and drive components, allowing the SMC30 to become part of the SINAMICS system architecture.
High-Speed Encoder Processing
The module can evaluate encoder frequencies of up to 500 kHz, supporting high-speed motor and machine applications.
Cabinet-Mounted Design
The SMC30 is designed for installation inside industrial control cabinets and can be mounted on a TH 35 standard mounting rail according to EN 60715 / IEC 60715.
