Product Introduction
The Siemens 6SE7011-5EP70-Z is a SIMOVERT Compact-PLUS AC-AC converter unit from the Masterdrives Motion Control-Performance 2 series. Designed as a spare part, this IP20-rated industrial automation module operates at 380-480 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz with a rated current of 1.5 A and type rating of 0.55 kW. It includes a CD-ROM with documentation and comes pre-configured with three option modules: a measuring transducer for resolver (C23, Slot C), a standard technology functions software module (F01), and a PROFIBUS CBP2 communication module (G91, Slot A).
Industry Applications
This Siemens 6SE7011-5EP70-Z drive is ideal for applications requiring precise speed and torque control of three-phase AC motors. Typical use cases include conveyor systems, pumps, fans, and other material handling equipment in manufacturing and processing plants. The integrated resolver transducer supports closed-loop control, enhancing positioning accuracy in machinery like cutting tools or winding systems. The PROFIBUS communication module enables seamless integration into distributed control networks, making the 6SE7011-5EP70-Z a versatile upgrade for existing SIMOVERT-based installations.
Compatibility & Integration
The Siemens 6SE7011-5EP70-Z is designed as a direct spare for SIMOVERT Masterdrives Compact-PLUS systems. It supports PROFIBUS communication via the included CBP2 card, allowing connection to Siemens S7 PLCs and other Profibus-enabled controllers. The resolver module (C23) provides accurate speed feedback without pulse encoder simulation, making it compatible with motors equipped with resolvers. This unit also includes standard technology functions (F01) for basic drive control logic. Before purchasing, verify that your existing system firmware and hardware configuration match the modules installed in this spare unit.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the Siemens 6SE7011-5EP70-Z, ensure the drive is mounted in a clean, dry environment with adequate airflow for cooling. The IP20 rating requires installation inside a control cabinet. Connect the three-phase power supply (380-480 V, 50/60 Hz) and the motor to the designated terminals. The resolver transducer and PROFIBUS cables should be routed separately from power cables to avoid electromagnetic interference. Use the included CD-ROM for parameterization; typical setup involves loading existing backup parameters or commissioning via the PROFIBUS network. Always follow Siemens safety guidelines when working with live equipment.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting the Siemens 6SE7011-5EP70-Z, confirm that your application requires a 0.55 kW AC-AC drive with 1.5 A rating. This spare part is particularly suitable for replacing failed units in continuous production lines.
