New Wireless Module Sinamics V20 from Siemens
Siemens has introduced a new option for wireless communication support for the Sinamics V20 drives. This development covers a wide range of variable speed drives (VSD), which, according to the manufacturer, are the smallest drives of this type on the market.
Functional Capabilities of the Module
The built-in web server module integrated into the VSD allows users to control the drive from a laptop or mobile device via a secure WiFi connection. The Sinamics V20 Smart Access quick access module enables:
- configuring and changing drive parameters;
- monitoring the state of the frequency converter;
- starting motors in step mode;
- troubleshooting and eliminating faults;
- backing up and restoring settings.
Users do not need to install additional programs on their PC or phone, as access to drive parameters is possible through any web browser on a mobile device or laptop. This makes frequency converter management accessible even in hard-to-reach installations.
The intuitive interface of the module allows for quick configuration of the device's operation. Parameters from one frequency converter can be easily transferred to other mobile devices. When moving the web server module from one drive mechanism to another, multiple drives can be quickly put into operation and controlled via a mobile phone. This greatly simplifies the setup process and allows for operational adjustments at any time.
