VD module for Scalance
Ethernet via two-wire cabling? Sure! Plant owners using Profibus or other two-wire cabling in their plants and wanting to switch to Profinet are often faced with high installation costs. The VD module offers a new option for migration.
T
he MM992-2VD module is a new dual-port media module for all modular switches in the Scalance X-300 p roduct line (XR-300/X308-2M) and the Scalance S627-2M security module. The two-wire cable is connected with an RJ45 connector that is plugged into the new twowire network module.
Industrial Ethernet communication using existing cabling The highlight of the new module? During VD (variable distance) operation, Industrial Ethernet communication is made possible via non-Ethernet-specific cabling (Profibus DP or other two-wire cabling) without having to change over to other transmission methods such as DSL, for example. Depending on the quality of the line, distances of up to 500 m at a rate of 100 Mbps or 1,000 m at a rate of 10 Mbps can be covered. Furthermore, the VD module allows for an extension of the standard Industrial Ethernet cable length at 100 Mbps in order to cover even greater distances. This means that remote users at a distance of more than 100 m do not necessarily need to be integrated into the plant’s network using optical fibers but can be integrated by simply using copper cables.
Secure data transmission guaranteed Security does not suffer, either. It is possible to connect the VD media module to the most recent modular version of the Scalance S product line, Scalance S627-2M, thus ensuring secure communication in two-wire lines as well. With the firewall and VPN security functions, Scalance S627-2M can filter data communication and avoid unauthorized access as well as safely authenticate the transmitted data and protect from manipulation and espionage using en cryption.
Installation cost savings Using the VD media module reduces costs when installing a plant, since the already installed copper cables can be used, thus avoiding high cable-laying expenses. In this case, the module can be used as a standard Industrial Ethernet or VD interface. All in all, the new media module offers the possibility to migrate existing Profibus systems to Profinet – without having to lay new cables!

T
he new Sinamics Perfect Harmony GH150 medium- voltage converter further develops the proven cellbased Perfect Harmony technology and offers high availability as well as maximum flexibility for easy systems integration. Thanks to its high versatility, especially with regard to the selection of transformers, customer and application requirements can be met even better. The medium-voltage converter itself can easily be inte grated into any application. It is suitable for retrofits as well as for new projects where a separate transformer with high input voltages and various cooling methods (i.e. oil or dry transformers) can also be employed. Higher flexibility makes plant planning easier and thereby also reduces the total cost of ownership as well as the operating costs. The cell-bypass feature prevents unplanned downtimes and enables maintenance measures to be carried out at a scheduled time. The converter’s almost sinusoidal output voltage minimizes the stress on the motor and ensures that the applications can run smoothly and efficiently. Therefore, even applications with long cable lengths between the motor and the converter can be implemented without output filter. siemens.com/sinamics

Liquid-cooled modules for Sinamics S120
Efficient cooling method
L
iquid-cooled Active Interface Modules (AIMs) and Active Line Modules (ALMs) are now also available for Sinamics S120 low-voltage converters. These modules cover a voltage range between 500 and 690 V, with an output of 1,700 kW. The liquid-cooled solution transfers almost all the heat of the modules to the cooling liquid. Room air-conditioning can therefore be significantly decreased and the associated costs of installation, maintenance, and operation reduced. Because no fans are necessary, the power consumption of the modules is lower as well. Sinamics S120 ALMs are available with outputs of 380 kW, 630 kW, and 900 kW at 380–480 V and of 1,100 kW at 500–690 V. They are able to feed the energy back into the grid, thus offering significant cost savings. AIMs for the grid connection form a functional unit with the ALMs. The AIMs filter the harmonics to a large degree and ensure that there is very little circuit feedback. The new modules contain a liquid-cooled throttle, a liquid-cooled filter module, and fasteners. By connecting up to four identical modules in parallel,
up to 5,700 kW can be realized on the motor side and up to 6,460 kW on the grid side. Due to the compact design, the liquid-cooled converters are recommended for use in limited spaces such as ships’ drives as well as in harsh environments such as in the mining or oil and gas indus tries. siemens.com/sinamics New features • Efficient cooling method with continuous liquid cooling in addition to the air-cooled modules • ALM up to 900 kW at 380–480 V; due to more precise power levels (380/630 kW), the requirements are covered more exactly
