SINAMICS web server for SINAMICS S210 (6SL5...)

Web server for efficient commissioning, diagnostics, maintenance and operator control and monitoring, any time, from anywhere

Thanks to the web server, the SINAMICS S210 drive system with the innovated SINAMICS S210 (6SL5...) servo converters offers an efficient commissioning, diagnostics, maintenance option as well as operation and monitoring functions. The user is supported by a help function and additional links to specific product information, downloads, FAQs and manuals.
The web server provides access to a multi-faceted range of new options for commissioning or parameter assignment, drive diagnostics, remote maintenance as well as operator control and monitoring for any networked PC with a web browser or for tablets and smartphones (via a separate WLAN access point, such as SINAMICS Smart Adapter).
The following provides an insight into the functionality offered.

The start screen offers a quick overview of the state of the drive

• Drive type, connected motor as well as the article number and installed firmware
• Important drive parameters show the operating state (can be configured)
• The connection overview provides information about the status of the connections (operating unit - converter - motor)
• Overview of all pending fault and warning messages

Commissioning

• The quick commissioning provides information about the current motor/encoder and offers the configuration of limit values and digital inputs
• Advanced commissioning defines drive options and functions to suit your application. Advanced commissioning includes all the settings of quick commissioning, as well as additional options and functions.
• Optimization of the drive settings using One Button Tuning (OBT)
• Easily and conveniently commission Safety Integrated functions

Diagnostics

• Evaluation of warnings and fault messages
• Evaluation of system events (diagnostic buffer)
• Analysis of the safety status
• Connection overview, diagnostics of the drive communication and control and status words

Alarm view with convenient search and filter functions

Service and maintenance functions

• Monitor and adjust drive parameters
• Create, import and export user-specific parameter lists
• Back up and restore the drive configuration
• Perform firmware update, also via the network
• Manage software licenses
• Configure basic settings for the drive and web server (e.g. date and time of the drive)
• Configure and manage user accounts and access controls (UMAC)

Parameter list for quick access to drive parameters, also via user-defined parameter lists

Support

• Operator support with comprehensive information about the drive and user interface
• Easy access to product information such as FAQs, software downloads, manuals and certificates
• When storing the html documentation on the drive memory card, the user manual can be accessed in a context-sensitive manner from the user interface
• The diagnostics report supports the support with basic information on the current status of the converter, e.g. in the event of a malfunction or error. The diagnostics report always contains the drive, motor and encoder data and, optionally, an overview of the errors and messages that have occurred.

Support dialog for quick access to product-specific information

Simple and fast commissioning

• Installation of additional commissioning software is not required.
  Tools required for the commissioning are ready to use via the integrated web server.
• Standard pages to set thresholds and onboard inputs
• Simple controller optimization with One Button Tuning (OBT)
• Guided parameterization of Safety Integrated functions
• Extensive online help with context-sensitive access to the Operating Instructions (memory card required)

Shorter machine downtimes

• Quick overview of the current configuration and the state of the drive
• Efficient diagnostics and maintenance
• Understandable diagnostic information and messages, including the causes of issues and possible remedies, are displayed in plain text in multiple languages
• Context-sensitive help with optional access to the web-based device documentation provides quick help with questions about drive functions

Convenient service and maintenance functions

• Quick backup and restoration of the drive data
• Convenient firmware update, also via the network
• Convenient access to drive parameters
• User-defined parameter lists that focus on what matters
• Easy and efficient handling of the parameter list by using search functions and filters (e.g. parameter groups, parameter types)
• Easy exchange with operating personnel by importing/exporting user-defined parameter lists.
• User-defined parameter lists can be exchanged between the SINAMICS Startdrive and the web server.
• The generation and dispatch of a diagnostics report supports communication with service personnel or machine builders.

Direct language selection

• English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese Simplified

Accessibility

• Via all LAN or PROFINET interfaces
• Use of mobile devices (e.g. notebooks/tablets and smartphones) via WLAN e.g. with SINAMICS Smart Adapter or a separate access point
• Access to the web server via PCs/notebooks, SIMATIC HMI (> 10”), smartphones/tablets with a Chromium-based internet browser

Access security

• Protection against unauthorized access to the drive functions and data
• Convenient user administration that supports a roles concept
• Easy set-up and management of user accounts

The web server is ideal for applications not requiring any special commissioning software or version dependencies. Commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance as well as operator control and monitoring are possible both locally and remotely, provided appropriate security measures are applied.
