Siemens 6SE7090-0XX84-0FF5 SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES CBP2 Communication Module

Key Parameters

Core Features & Advantages

• PROFIBUS DP Connectivity for MASTERDRIVES MC: The module's primary function is to add PROFIBUS DP capability to the SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Motion Control platform, enabling high-speed data exchange between the drive and the automation network . This includes the transmission of control commands (e.g., speed setpoints, start/stop) and status feedback (e.g., actual speed, fault messages) .

• Deterministic, High-Speed Communication: The CBP2 module supports deterministic communication at speeds up to 12 Mbps . This is critical for motion control applications where precise timing and synchronization are required, such as multi-axis systems, ensuring each drive receives its commands within a defined, repeatable cycle time .

• Deep Integration with SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES: As a plug-in module, the CBP2 is designed for easy integration into the 6SE70 drive series . It allows for remote configuration of drive parameters via the PROFIBUS network, simplifying commissioning and diagnostics .

Typical Applications

The 6SE7090-0XX84-0FF5 is a key component in high-performance SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES systems, used in applications requiring precise, synchronized motion control :

• CNC Machine Tools: For controlling multiple axes with high precision .

• Robotics: For coordinating joint movements in robotic systems .

• High-Speed Production Machinery: In printing presses (e.g., color registration), packaging, and textile machines requiring synchronization .

• Material Handling: In applications like cranes, hoists, and elevators .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of the 6SE7090-0XX84-0FF5?

A: It is the CBP2 communication module for the Siemens SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Motion Control series, used to connect the drive to a PROFIBUS DP network for data exchange and control .

Q2: Is the 6SE7090-0XX84-0FF5 still in production?

A: No. This product has been discontinued by Siemens as of September 30, 2020, and is classified under the PM490 lifecycle (Final Year of Support) . Availability is through the surplus or refurbished market.

Q3: What are the physical dimensions and weight of this module?

A: The module is compact, with approximate dimensions of 10 cm x 8 cm x 2 cm and a weight of roughly 0.06 kg (0.13 lbs) .

Q4: Can this module be used with a SINAMICS drive?

A: No. This module is strictly for the SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES series. It is not compatible with the newer SINAMICS platform .

Q5: What is the difference between the CBP2 and the older CBP module?

A: The CBP2 (as indicated by the 6SE7090-0XX84-0FF5) is a later, more capable version, providing enhanced support for the Motion Control (MC) platform and featuring the 6SX7010-0FF05 kit number, which is an upgrade to the older 6SX7010-0FF00 .

Q6: What does the "delivered without operating instructions" note mean?

A: The module is typically intended for use by trained professionals familiar with the SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES platform. It is supplied without a manual, relying on the expertise of the integrator or maintenance personnel .

Q7: What are the recommended replacement or upgrade options?

A: For new system designs, Siemens recommends migrating to the SINAMICS family and using communication boards like the CB150 or CB152 (for PROFINET) or CB124 (for PROFIBUS) .
