A digital data cable makes the motor an active part of your data network, providing all motor data – such as encoder data, temperature data, commissioning data, and data from other sensors – to the application inverter and the connected networks at any time. This information can be used to capture detailed operational data and compile maintenance forecasts. As the type designations, serial numbers and logistics data associated with motors are identified and supplied automatically, an inventory of all the drives in a plant can be compiled automatically at the touch of a button. Repairs, exchanges and enhancements can be tracked and traced at any time.

• Intelligent, digital connection using just one standardized hybrid cable to connect data transmission and power supply lines between the motors (synchronous machine and asynchronous machine) and the application inverters:
  • The data line is linked to the application inverter using a series-standard coaxial connector
  • Plug connector on motor or, alternatively, terminal box connection for on-site assembly

• Available for motors up to size 315
• Extremely robust, high-performance design for data transmission with coaxial data cable, ideal for especially space-saving installations
• Also suitable for very long cables measuring up to 200 m
• Fully integrated digital motor encoder in various designs
• Data memory in the motor for drive and application data, automatic start-up of the application inverter without engineering tool
• MOVILINK^® DDI digital data interface for transmitting:
  • Information from the electronic nameplate
  • Brake and diagnostic data (e.g. temperature sensor data)
  • Encoder data, safe and non-safe

• Brake control integrated into the motor for synchronous and asynchronous drive technology:
  • For holding brakes and working brakes
  • No need for brake control device in the control cabinet
  • Continuous electronic detection of switching status and brake wear
  • Transmission of brake diagnostic data via data interface to application inverter
  • Condition-based maintenance intervals, forward planning of maintenance work, wear information, even for difficult-to-access drives

Integrated into the inverter technology

Due to the requirements laid down in technical standards and the drive to have humans and machines working hand in hand, the number of plant areas equipped with functional safety technology is constantly growing. As a result, functional safety is an integral part of any application.

By introducing MOVISAFE^® CS..A safety cards, SEW EURODRIVE has made functional safety an integral element of all MOVI C^® application inverters. Even the basic unit in the MOVIDRIVE^® series features STO in PL e. All higher-level safety functions are achieved by inserting an option card, including all the necessary connections to the inverter technology – encoder, communication and STO. This helps you reduce costs to only what is necessary to achieve the functions you actually need.

Functions in the basic unit

• STO (safe torque off)
• SIL 3 to EN 61800-5-2, EN 61508
• PL e to EN ISO 13849-1
• Can be activated via safe inputs
• Can be activated via safe communication if a CS..A safety card is inserted
• Extremely short response times of 2 ms enable small safety clearances

MOVISAFE^® safety card functions

• Five scalable safety cards as appropriate to application requirements
• More than 15 higher-level safety functions can be incorporated by inserting option cards
• Can be inserted retrospectively at any time, no additional external cables needed
• Also with additional multi-encoder input
• Safe communication via PROFIsafe/PROFINET and FSoE – Fail Safe over EtherCAT^®

• STO safety function with PLe integrated in basic unit
• Secure communication via PROFINET / PROFIsafe and EtherCAT^® / FSoE
• High-quality safety functions in the MOVISAFE^® safety card, type CS...A:
  • STO, SS1, SS2, SBC, SBT, SOS, SLS, SSR, SLA, SSM, SLI, SDI, SCA, SLP
  • Just plug in the option card; no external connection cables are required for the encoder, communication or STO connection
  • Easily replace cards and devices using the pluggable memory key in the safety option

• Easily start up the unit by entering parameters
• Diagnostics and scope functions are fully integrated in the engineering software
• For simple control of the STO, the safe inputs feature P/P and P/M topology
• All safety parameters are part of the inverter data set; in the case of a unit replacement, all that is needed is to import the inverter data set into the new device
• Both process and safety values can be recorded in the Scope diagnostics tool – this facilitates troubleshooting and diagnostics
