BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS Product Overview

The BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS is more than just a standard”PLC+drive”combination.It’s a”three-in-one control core”designed by Baldor specifically for high-power motors between 75kW and 110kW.It combines the logic operations of a PLC,the distributed management of a DCS,and a 200A high-power drive into a single device.This eliminates the need for a separate”PLC+inverter+DCS module”system,saving control cabinet space and reducing the hassle of communication delays.

A metallurgical plant previously used a”standard PLC+standalone inverter”system to drive a steel rolling mill.This system experienced communication delays exceeding 10ms,slow motor speed control response,and a±0.3mm deviation in rolled steel thickness.This resulted in 20 tons of steel scrapped daily,resulting in a loss of 120,000 yuan.After switching to the BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS,the integrated control system reduced latency to 0.5ms,speed regulation response became 20 times faster,thickness deviation was reduced to±0.05mm,and the scrap rate was reduced to 1%,saving 3.6 million yuan per month.Furthermore,it supports vector control,providing sufficient low-speed motor torque and preventing slippage during rolling mill startup,making it much more reliable than the previous V/F control system.

In industrial systems,the BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS is the”steward of high-power motors”—it can transmit production and energy consumption data to the factory’s MES system and directly control motor speed and torque.It is particularly suitable for applications such as metallurgy,mining,and heavy machine tools,where motors have high power and demanding control requirements,making it a real cost-saving and efficiency-enhancing tool.

Selection Guide/Purchasing Recommendations

When choosing the BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS,first consider”Motor Power and Current”—it’s compatible with motors ranging from 75kW to 110kW(380V),with a rated current of 140A to 220A.For motors exceeding 110kW(current exceeding 220A),choose the BALDOR ASR SBTS10-300-2(300A),otherwise overload will damage the module.A customer previously used it to control a 132kW motor,and it triggered overload protection after just three days.A replacement for the 300A model resolved the issue.

Next,consider”Control Mode Requirements”:For fans and pumps,standard V/F control is sufficient.For rolling mills or machine tools,vector control with encoder feedback is required.Choose a configuration with an encoder interface;don’t skimp on the little extra cash;otherwise,you’ll end up with inaccurate accuracy.A customer previously didn’t choose an encoder,resulting in poor rolling mill accuracy.They had to rework and install one,costing an extra 5,000 yuan.

Also,”Don’t buy refurbished”:The refurbished BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS power module is secondhand and has poor overload capacity.A previous customer bought a refurbished one,and the module burned while controlling a hoist,causing a three-day production stoppage and a loss of 60,000 yuan.Finally,they replaced it with an original manufacturer’s unit,finding peace of mind.Find genuine products from Shenzhen Changxin[www.cnplcdcs.com].Every unit comes with a Baldor traceability code,and they offer on-site commissioning.It’s reliable!

FAQ

Q:Can the BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS be connected to an absolute encoder?

A:Yes!It supports absolute encoders with an RS485 interface.Simply set the encoder model(e.g.,Heidenhain 1387)and the communication baud rate(default 9600bps)in DriveStudio software to read position data.A customer previously connected an encoder to control the position of a hoist,achieving an accuracy of±0.1m,more accurate than an incremental encoder,and without the need for homing.

Q:I’m getting an”overload fault”error when the motor starts.How can I troubleshoot this?

A:First,check the actual motor current—use a clamp meter to measure the starting current.If it exceeds 300A(1-minute peak),the load is too heavy,and you need to reduce the load or extend the startup time.Also,check the motor parameters to see if the motor power is set too low(e.g.,set a 110kW motor to 75kW).If this still doesn’t work,check the heat dissipation.If the fan isn’t spinning,it indicates overheating protection,and replacing the fan will resolve the issue.

Q:Can it communicate with a Siemens S7-1500 PLC?

A:Yes!Using the Modbus TCP protocol,set an IP address(for example,192.168.1.10)in the BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS,add a Modbus TCP client to the S7-1500,select the correct register address(for example,speed is stored in register 40001),and you can read speed and current data and write control instructions.I previously had a project connected this way and it ran without interruption for six months.

Q:What should I do if the module temperature is high after long-term operation?

A:First,clean the cooling fan.A clogged fan will result in poor heat dissipation.Then,check the heat sink for foreign matter.If the workshop is dusty,air it out once a month.If that doesn’t work,increase the air cooling to lower the control cabinet temperature to below 40°C.This will reduce the module temperature by 10°C to 15°C.A previous customer used this method and the module temperature dropped from 65°C to 50°C,and the overheating report disappeared.

Customer Case Study/Successful Application Analysis

A metallurgical plant had three 110kW rolling mills.They previously used a standard PLC+200A inverter system.This system experienced a 10ms communication delay and a±0.3mm deviation in rolled steel thickness.This resulted in 20 tons of steel scrapped daily(at 6,000 yuan per ton),resulting in a loss of 120,000 yuan.In the summer,the inverter overheated,causing a two-hour daily shutdown and a 50-ton reduction in steel production.They subsequently contacted us to upgrade to a BALDOR ASR SBTS10-200-2 PLC DCS,one for each rolling mill.After installation,the integrated control system reduced latency to 0.5ms.Vector control+encoder feedback achieved a thickness tolerance of±0.05mm,reducing the scrap rate to 1%.Two tons of steel were scrapped daily,saving 3.6 million yuan per month.With a 200A continuous output and a 300A peak output,overload warnings disappeared in the summer,and downtime was reduced to zero.Daily output increased by 50 tons,resulting in an additional 300,000 yuan in monthly revenue.The workshop manager commented,”This equipment is far superior to our previous combination!We used to worry about scrap and downtime every day,but now everything is running smoothly.The sooner we switch,the sooner we can profit!”
