6RA70 SINAMICS DCM Converter for Two Quadrant Drives

Product Information

The SINAMICS DCM is a high-performance DC drive system that is
scalable and modular for every application, from basic to
sophisticated and demanding. This product portfolio from Siemens is
designed to integrate perfectly into existing and future automation
environments, making it a versatile DC drive. SINAMICS DCM is
available in four flexible and modular design offerings, including
Base Drives, Base Drive Packages (auxiliary components kits),
Control Modules, and DC Converters. This DC drive platform
accommodates all industrial applications from 3 to 40,000 hp (2.2
kW to 30 MW). The SINAMICS DCM family is equipped with all the
tools necessary to fulfill any application, and its inherent
scalable and modular design easily accommodates for future
expansion.

Product Usage Instructions

If you are in the market for a new DC drive, an existing Siemens
customer of legacy, discontinued DC drives, or the owner of another
manufacturer’s DC drive, you can avoid unplanned downtime in
production by having a modernization and repair plan in place and a
drive platform in mind to retrofit your DC drives. To get started
with your DC drive retrofit, you can visit the Sales and
Distributor Locator site, contact your local Siemens Sales office,
visit the Solution Partner Finder site or find us on the web.

The SINAMICS DCM family delivers cost-effective options to
replace or retrofit obsolete DC drives and discontinued SIMOREG DC
drives (6RA70, 6RA24, 6RA23, 6RA22, 6RA21) while minimizing
downtimes by keeping expensive DC motors and their mechanical
systems and cabling in place. To ensure maximum production,
SINAMICS DCM provides reliability and robustness with the highest
degree of reliability reflecting state-of-the-art drive technology.
It is backed by a 3-year extended warranty exclusive to the US
market.

With the SINAMICS DCM, you can purchase only what your
applications require and have peace of mind, knowing that the
drive’s inherent scalable, modular design easily accommodates
future expansion. One DC drive platform fulfills every application,
reduces spare parts, simplifies training, and comes with one
configuration software package. Siemens has the resources and
channel partners to assist you in protecting and maximizing your
facility’s production, whether your application requires a SINAMICS
DCM DC Converter, Base Drive, DC Converter + Base Drive Package
(auxiliary component kit), Control Module, or a Custom Enclosed DC
drive via a Siemens Solution Partner.

Don’t risk downtime and loss in production. Invest in the
SINAMICS DCM DC drive system technology today and tomorrow, knowing
that Siemens continues to invest and innovate in this field.
