M200D motor starters for PROFIBUS/PROFINET

The intelligent, highly flexible M200D PROFIBUS/PROFINET motor starters are the most functional motor starters in the SIRIUS motor starter family in the high degree of protection IP65 for PROFIBUS/PROFINET communication.

They start and protect motors and loads up to 5.5 kW. Direct-on-line and reversing starter versions are available in a mechanical version and also a solid-state version (the latter with soft start function).

The particularly robust M200D PROFIBUS/PROFINET motor starters are characterized by numerous functions which can be flexibly parameterized. Their modular design comprises a motor starter module and a communications module.

The M200D PROFINET motor starters enable parameterization integrated in TIA through PROFINET from STEP 7 - in the familiar, user-friendly manner with the look and feel of PROFIBUS.

Functionality

• Basic functionality, see M200D motor starter
• Solid-state version also with soft start function
• Robust and widely used M12 connection method for the digital inputs and outputs and the PROFIBUS/PROFINET bus connection
• All four digital inputs and two digital outputs exist in the cyclic process image. This provides complete transparency of the process on the control level
• Full TIA integration: All digital inputs and outputs exist in the cyclic process image and are visible through the bus, providing maximum flexibility and excellent adaptability to the application.
• Flexible assignment of the digital inputs and outputs with all available assignable input actions
• Extensive diagnostics concept using LEDs and through the bus with the TIA-compatible mechanisms
• Expanded diagnostics using data records
• Complete plant monitoring using statistics data record and current value monitoring by means of data records
• Parameterization through PROFIBUS/PROFINET bus with the help of data records from the user program
• Control of the motor starter using a command data record from the user program
• Removable modular control unit – quicker device replacement and therefore lower costs when device outages occur – since existing wiring is on the control unit and only one device needs to be replaced
• Parameterization in STEP 7 HW Config using Motor Starter ES (ordering option for commissioning software)
• Commissioning and diagnostics with the help of Motor Starter ES (ordering option for commissioning software)
• Trace function through Motor Starter ES for optimized commissioning and tracking of process and device values

Only with PROFINET:

• Just one bus system from the MES level to the devices – no gateways
• More stations on the bus and possible configuration of flexible bus structures
• Automatic re-parameterization in case of device replacement thanks to proximity detection
• Wireless integration of plant segments in difficult environments using WLAN
• Easier expansion of the system thanks to a higher number of stations on the bus and elimination of terminating resistors

Mounting and installation

The M200D PROFIBUS/PROFINET motor starter is comprised of the communications module and the motor starter module. Only the motor starter module has to be replaced therefore when replacing devices. This saves time and money. The communications module remains as an active station on the bus and all other system components continue running. This prevents downtimes.

The integrated plug-in technology enables far lower wiring outlay: Connecting cables can be plugged directly onto the motor starter module. The PROFINET bus is connected cost-effectively using an M12 connection on the device. All versions have identical enclosure dimensions for easier system design and conversion.

Parameterization and configuration

All motor protection functions, limit values and reactions can be defined by parameterization.

The user has several user-friendly options for the parameterization. In addition to parameterization directly from STEP 7, which also permits automatic re-parameterization in case of device replacement, it is possible to use the user-friendly Motor Starter ES commissioning software. By connecting a programming device directly to PROFIBUS/PROFINET and the Motor Starter ES commissioning software, the devices can also be conveniently programmed from a central point through the bus. Also, parameters can be changed during operation from the user program using the data record mechanism so that the function of the motor starter is adapted to the process when required. With the help of a PC and the Motor Starter ES software, it is also possible to perform the parameterization through the local point-to-point interface on-site.

Functions can be flexibly assigned to the digital inputs and outputs, adapting them to all possible conveyor applications. All digital inputs and outputs exist in the cyclic process image. All limit values for monitoring functions and their reactions are configurable and therefore adaptable to the application. It is designed to be compatible with other SIRIUS M200D motor starter products and the frequency converter and the ET 200pro I/O system.

Only with M200D PROFINET motor starters

Thanks to the integrated proximity detection, the device name does not need to be issued manually when a device is replaced. The name is issued automatically by the neighboring devices which note the "names" of the devices in their proximity. No additional commissioning measures are required therefore when replacing a device.

The new motor starter generation is characterized by high functionality, maximum flexibility and the highest level of automation. PROFINET is especially recommended for large-scale and highly automated system components, since the possibility of monitoring the devices or systems with data records (statistical data, measured values and device diagnostics) ensures a broader insight into the plant by the control room, and hence increases the availability of the plant sustainably.

Operation

The motor starters record the actual current flow. Evaluating the current of the configurable electronic overload protection increases the availability of the drives, as do reliable messages concerning the overshooting or undershooting of setpoint values.

Diagnostics and preventive maintenance

Diagnostics is possible over a variety of mechanisms and can be employed completely according to customer wishes.

The motor starter is TIA diagnostics-capable, which means that when a fault is identified, a diagnostic interrupt is distributed, which invokes the diagnostics-OB with a SIMATIC control. The fault can be evaluated as usual in the user program.

The M200D motor starter offers a large variety of diagnostics data through data records. Its functionality is without equal on the market. There are extensive options for reading out data from the motor starter for monitoring devices, systems or processes.

The motor starter is equipped internally with three logbooks for device faults, motor starter trips and events that are issued with a time stamp. These logbooks can be read out of the motor starter at any time in the form of data records and provide the plant operator with plenty of information about the state of his plant and process which he can use to carry out improvements.

With the min/max pointer and statistical data functions it is possible to read out, for example, the maximum internal current values or the number of motor starter connection operations for plant monitoring purposes. This allows deviations in the process to be monitored, but also optimum initial commissioning to take place. The user can draw conclusions about the actual load conditions of the devices in his process and on this basis can optimize his plant maintenance intervals.

The device diagnostics data record contains details of all the states of the motor starter, the device configuration and the communication status as a basis for central monitoring of devices and systems.

With installation and maintenance functions (I&M), information (I&M) on modules employed and data (I&M) specified by the user during configuration, such as location designations, are stored in the motor starter. I&M functions are used for troubleshooting faults and localizing changes in hardware in a plant or checking the system configuration. Reordering a device is particularly easy as the result.

The integrated maintenance timer can be used to implement preventive maintenance and avoid plant downtimes through look-ahead servicing.

Another new addition is the TRACE integrated into the Motor Starter ES software. It can be used to record measured values as a function of time following a trigger event. This enables process flows to be recorded and their timing optimized.

Local control of a drive is possible using the ordering option with integrated manual operation. This is yet another new development which distinguishes the M200D PROFIBUS/PROFINET motor starter from the rest of the market and adds innovative technology, maximum availability and transparency to the system.

M200D PROFINET motor starters with PROFIenergy

Increasing energy prices, far-reaching ecological problems worldwide and the threat of climate change make it necessary for you to be more conscious about your use of energy.

Active and effective energy management is possible with PROFIenergy.

PROFIenergy is a manufacturer-independent profile on PROFINET, which can be used by all manufacturers, has been standardized by PNO¹⁾ and supports switching off electrical devices during dead times and measuring the energy flow.

¹⁾ In the PNO (PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e. V. - PROFIBUS User Organization), manufacturers and users have come together to agree on the standardized communication technologies PROFIBUS and PROFINET.

Switching off during dead times

PROFIenergy supports the targeted switching-off of loads during dead time.

These can be planned short breaks of a few minutes (such as lunch breaks), longer dead times (such as nights) or unplanned dead times. Energy is always saved when no power is required.

Measuring and visualizing the energy flow as a basis of energy management

The objective of energy management is to optimize the use of energy in a company - from the purchasing of energy through to the consumption of energy - economically and ecologically.

Analyses of energy consumption over time can be used to control energy flows, avoid energy peaks, improve ratings and thus save costs.

PROFIenergy enables consumption data to be read off from the devices in a unified form. This is recorded during operation and can be displayed on a control panel, for example, or transferred to overlying energy management software packages. This ensures that the measured variables are in a uniform manufacturer-independent form and structure that is available to the user for further processing. These PROFIenergy functions thus provide the basis for active load and energy management during operation.

PROFIenergy in the M200D PROFINET motor starter

The M200D PROFINET motor starter supports the "switching during dead times" and "current measured values" of the motor current using PROFIenergy. These are called commands, because they trigger a reaction in the M200D motor starter.
