SINAMICS 30mm Signal Converter | Siemens 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA2

Product Description

Industrial-Grade Encoder Signal Conversion

The Siemens 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA2 (SMC30) is a critical interface component within the SINAMICS S120 drive system. Its primary function is to evaluate encoder signals from motors that do not feature an integrated DRIVE-CLiQ interface. By converting traditional incremental TTL/HTL or absolute SSI signals into the digital DRIVE-CLiQ protocol, the SMC30 enables high-speed, synchronized data exchange with the Control Unit (CU). This allows the drive system to maintain precise speed and position feedback even when utilizing third-party motors or legacy feedback systems.

Modular Design and Comprehensive Compatibility

The 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA2 features a compact 30mm width, designed to maximize cabinet space. As a cabinet-mounted (SMC) module, it snaps onto standard rails and operates on a 24V DC supply. The module's versatility lies in its support for multiple protocols: it handles incremental encoders with TTL/HTL signals, combination encoders (SSI with incremental tracks), and pure SSI encoders without incremental signals. Integrated diagnostics monitor signal integrity and communication status in real-time, significantly reducing the risk of system downtime caused by signal interference or wiring faults.
