The CBE20 Communication Board plugs into the option slot on the CU320-2 Control Unit.

SINAMICS Link

SINAMICS Link can be used to directly exchange data between several CU320‑2 DP (PROFIBUS) or CU320‑2 PN (PROFINET) Control Units without using a higher-level control system. In this case, the CBE20 Communication Board is required. Possible applications for the SINAMICS Link include:

• Torque distribution for several drives
• Setpoint cascading for several drives
• Load distribution for drives coupled through a material web
• Couplings between SINAMICS G or SINAMICS S with the CU320‑2 Control Unit and SINAMICS DC Master with CUD Control Units.

Participants other than CU320‑2 Control Units and/or CUD Control Units of the SINAMICS DC Master cannot be integrated into this communication.

SINAMICS Link is activated by appropriately parameterizing the Control Units of the participants.
