Overview
The SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extension is a module in
SINAMICS S120 booksize format. It enables the extension of the
drive-side computing performance of the SIMOTION D4x5-2
Control Units.
The integrated drive computing performance enables the
SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Units to operate up to 6 servo,
6 vector or 12
V/f
axes.
The SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extension extends the drive
computing performance by up to 6 additional servo, 6 vector or
12
V/f
axes. This allows the number of axes of a multi-axis system
to be increased according to the requirements of the
application.
If required, several CX32-2 Controller Extensions can be
operated on one SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Unit.

Benefits
•
With a width of 25 mm, the CX32-2 Controller Extension
requires very little space and is therefore well-suited for use in
compact machines.
•
The CX32-2 Controller Extension is connected to the
SIMOTION D4x5-2 via DRIVE-CLiQ, so high-performance,
isochronous closed-loop control of the drives is possible
without the need for additional modules. The communication
interfaces on the SIMOTION D4x5-2 remain available for other
connections.
•
The addressing of the Controller Extension is independent of
the addressing on PROFINET/PROFIBUS. This is
advantageous for modular machine concepts.
•
Simple cabling and configuration
•
The Control operation signal from an infeed connected to the
SIMOTION D4x5-2 is particularly easy to interconnect to the
drives of the CX32-2 Controller Extension.
•
The CX32-2 Controller Extension does not require its own
CompactFlash card. Data is managed centrally on the
CompactFlash card of the SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Unit.
This has the following advantages:
-
Simple module replacement (no operator action required on
the CX32-2, such as memory card replacement)
- During firmware upgrades, the CX32-2 Controller Extension
is automatically upgraded with the integrated drive of the
SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Unit
- Central license handling via the SIMOTION D4x5-2

Design
Example: Group of 12 axes with SIMOTION D4x5-2 and SIMOTION
CX32-2 Controller Extension
The SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extension is connected to the
SIMOTION D4x5-2 via DRIVE-CLiQ.
In this way, a very compact axis grouping can be implemented,
for example, with 12 servo axes.
If required, several SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extensions can
be operated on one SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Unit:
•
Max. 3 CX32-2 units on one SIMOTION D425-2
•
Max. 5 CX32-2 units on one SIMOTION D435-2, D445-2 or
D455-2
In principle, a 4th or 6th CX32-2 Controller Extension
can also be connected. In this case, no drives/drive components
can be connected any longer to the integrated drive control of
the SIMOTION D4x5-2. All drives must then be operated via the
connected Controller Extensions. This can be useful, for
example, when implementing distributed, modular machine
concepts.
Additional drive controls can be implemented with SINAMICS
S110/S120 Control Units via PROFINET or PROFIBUS.
Note
The SIMOTION CX32-2 Controller Extension can only be used
with SIMOTION D4x5-2 Control Units. Operation with SIMOTION
D4x5 Control Units is not possible.
The SIMOTION CX32 Controller Extension must be used for the
SIMOTION D435 and D445-1 Control Units (Article No.
6SL3040-0NA00-0AA0).
