Hello kanti; The SMC 30 is a supplemental module for the S120 drive, and uses Drive-Cliq cables to connect to the drive. I do not believe it can be used as a stand-alone unit for your purposes. See the following manual: SINAMICS S120 Equipment Manual for Control Units and Supplementary System Components http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/26505242 Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted SMC30 4.5.1 Description The Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted SMC30 evaluates encoder signals and transmits the speed, actual position value and, if necessary, the motor temperature and reference point via DRIVE-CLiQ to the Control Unit.The SMC30 is used to evaluate encoder signals from encoders with TTL, HTL, or SSI interfaces. If you want to connect an external encoder to the PLC and use the data to display on a SCADA system, you will have to use a FM or a sensor card that will be compatible with your type of encoder (incremental/absolute, SSI, TTL, RS-422...). You could use also a Profibus-enabled encoder, such as these: Absolute value encoders on Profibus-DP:https://eb.automation.siemens.com/goos/catalog/Pages/SearchResult.aspx?search=Profibus%20encoder&exact=n Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
