SIMOREG 6RA24 Siemens DC Drive Description and Standard Features
(Siemens 3rd Generation DC Drive)

SIMOREG Drive Controller

The Siemens Motor Regulator (SIMOREG) is a state of the art, microprocessor based DC drive controller. This drive controller converts a three-phase, 50/60 Hz supply voltage into six pulse adjustable voltage to operate a DC motor. Output armature voltage varies directly with speed reference to provide constant torque operation from zero speed to base speed. Above base speed, the motor shunt field current may be decreased to further increase speed and provide a constant horsepower output up to maximum speed.

The SIMOREG drive controller is designed to provide precise motor speed control over a wide range of machine parameters and load conditions. This software based controller will serve well as a packaged drive or as part of a drive system.

Horsepower ranges include 1-250HP at 230VAC, 2-1750HP at 460VAC input and 1500HP and higher at 600/650V AC input. All HP ratings are available as regenerative or non-regenerative drive controllers. Listed below are standard features, a partial list of adjustments, display parameters, service conditions, diagnostics, and protection features. Consult the Technical Information Section for additional information.
