MICROMASTER 440 frequency converter

MICROMASTER 440

Versatile Siemens MICROMASTER 4 converter with vector control, from 0.12 kW to 250 kW; Siemens has cancelled it and points to the modular SINAMICS G120 as the replacement

Price and delivery time are given after a technical review.

Production status: Discontinued

Siemens has cancelled this family. In the product record of every MICROMASTER 440 article number we checked, 'Phase Out Announce' is dated 1 October 2017 and 'Prod. Cancellation' 1 October 2019, and the item is called a 'spare part'. Siemens support entry 109746454 (February 2020) says the product can still be ordered although the type is cancelled; so this is not a new device but a spare part for installed machines. The next lifecycle stage has no date yet and no end date for spare-part supply appears in the Siemens sources we read; ask Siemens before relying on it for a new design or for stock. Siemens' replacement is the modular SINAMICS G120 (PM240-2 power module with a CU240E-2 control unit, or a CU250S-2 if an encoder module is fitted); for low-I/O applications without an encoder in the 0.55 kW to 18.5 kW range the SINAMICS G120C is also suggested. Siemens calls the compatibility of SINAMICS with MICROMASTER 4 'restricted': the project cannot be transferred directly, the drive must be recommissioned, the AOP panel and the DeviceNet module have no direct counterpart, and a CANopen module maps to the CU250S-2 CAN, which itself has been in the phase-out announcement stage since 1 October 2025.

Overview

Overview

The MICROMASTER 440 is the versatile member of Siemens' MICROMASTER 4 generation: for speed and torque control of three-phase motors, from 0.12 kW up to 200 kW for constant torque (CT) and up to 250 kW for variable torque (VT). Unlike the MM420 and MM430 it has vector control, with and without an encoder, and a built-in braking chopper up to frame size F. It works stand-alone or integrated into an automation system.

Status: cancelled, spare part only

In the Siemens product record (SiePortal / Industry Mall) of every MICROMASTER 440 article number we checked, 'Phase Out Announce' is dated 1 October 2017 and 'Prod. Cancellation' 1 October 2019, and the item is described as a 'spare part'. Siemens support entry 109746454 (February 2020) says the product can still be ordered although the type is cancelled. In other words this converter is no longer a new device in Siemens' sales range and is offered as a spare part for installed machines.

The later lifecycle stages (Prod. Discont. and End Prod. Lifecycl.) have no date yet, but no end date for spare-part supply appears in the Siemens sources we read either. For a new design or for stocking, look at the replacement first.

Replacement

Siemens' migration brochure states that it has decided to replace MICROMASTER with drives from the current SINAMICS family. The MICROMASTER 440 replacement, in the 07/2022 brochure and in Siemens' own migration guide (FAQ 82169413), is the modular SINAMICS G120: a power module in place of the power section and a control unit in place of the control board. Per that guide:

  • MM440 without a communication module and without an encoder module: control unit CU240E-2
  • MM440 with a PROFIBUS module and no encoder: CU240E-2 DP
  • MM440 with an encoder module: CU250S-2 (DP or CAN version to match the communication module)
  • For applications with few digital inputs and outputs and no encoder feedback, in the 0.55 kW to 18.5 kW range, the guide also suggests the SINAMICS G120C as an alternative (this sentence appears in the guide's CANopen section).

Siemens' own example: 6SE6440-2UC25-5CA1 with the PROFIBUS module 6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0 to the PM240-2 power module 6SL3210-1PC22-8UL0 with the CU240E-2 DP 6SL3244-0BB12-1PA1. Siemens calls the compatibility of SINAMICS with MICROMASTER 4 'restricted', so the replacement is not a drop-in.

What changes in a migration

  • A direct migration of the project is not possible; the parameter structure has changed and the drive must be recommissioned with the BOP-2, the IOP or STARTER.
  • The terminal designations of the control unit are the same as on the MM440, but the terminal arrangement and the number of inputs and outputs have to be checked against the comparison table in the same guide.
  • The duty names changed: VT becomes LO (low overload) and CT becomes HO (high overload).
  • The AOP panel has no direct counterpart; the DriveMonitor software is not supported and only STARTER is used.
  • There is no direct replacement for the DeviceNet module; Siemens suggests a gateway or a move to EtherNet/IP with a PROFINET control unit.

Range

1- or 3-phase 200 to 240 V, 3-phase 380 to 480 V and 3-phase 500 to 600 V input. In the 380 to 480 V class: 0.37 kW to 200 kW (CT) or 7.5 kW to 250 kW (VT). Frame sizes A to F plus FX and GX. V/f control up to 650 Hz and vector control (sensorless, sensorless torque control and with encoder) up to 200 Hz.

Telling the MICROMASTER 440 from the 420 and 430

  • The order number on the rating plate starts with 6SE6440; on the MICROMASTER 420 it starts with 6SE6420 and on the MICROMASTER 430 with 6SE6430.
  • The power range runs from 0.12 kW to 250 kW, so it goes both lower than the MM430 and higher than the MM420.
  • Vector control and constant-torque (CT) ratings exist only on the MM440; the MM430 is a variable-torque converter for pumps and fans.

Features

  • 0.12 kW to 200 kW (CT) and up to 250 kW (VT)
  • 1- or 3-phase 200 to 240 V, 3-phase 380 to 480 V and 3-phase 500 to 600 V input
  • Vector control with and without an encoder, torque control and V/f control with FCC
  • Built-in braking chopper up to frame size F for resistor braking
  • PID controller, free function blocks, kinetic buffering and positioning ramp-down
  • Six digital inputs, two analog inputs, three relay outputs and two analog outputs
  • Selectable pulse frequency up to 16 kHz
  • RS-485 interface and optional PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, CANopen and encoder evaluation modules

Advantages

  • The only MICROMASTER 4 with vector control and constant-torque ratings
  • Resistor braking without a separate chopper up to frame size F
  • Communication and encoder modules that can be added to the unit
  • A documented Siemens migration path, with a table that picks the control unit from the installed modules

  • Keeping older machines that have a MICROMASTER 440 running until migration

Frequently asked questions

Can the MICROMASTER 440 still be bought?

Only as a spare part. For every MICROMASTER 440 article number we checked, Siemens records 'Prod. Cancellation' from 1 October 2019 and calls the item a 'spare part'; support entry 109746454 also says the product can still be ordered although the type is cancelled. We found no Siemens statement of when that stops. Availability and lead time are confirmed on enquiry, and for a new design or for stocking it is better to look at the SINAMICS replacement first.

What do I fit in place of a MICROMASTER 440?

The modular SINAMICS G120: a PM240-2 power module and a control unit. Per Siemens' migration guide: an MM440 without a communication or encoder module goes to the CU240E-2, with a PROFIBUS module to the CU240E-2 DP, and with an encoder module to the CU250S-2. Siemens' own example: 6SE6440-2UC25-5CA1 (22 A) with the PROFIBUS module 6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0 to 6SL3210-1PC22-8UL0 with 6SL3244-0BB12-1PA1; both codes are 'Active Product' in SiePortal. For low-I/O applications without an encoder in the 0.55 kW to 18.5 kW range, Siemens also suggests the SINAMICS G120C.

What changes when moving from the MM440 to the G120?

Per Siemens' migration guide: a direct migration of the project is not possible and the drive must be recommissioned with the BOP-2, the IOP or STARTER. The terminal designations are the same as on the MM440, but their arrangement is compared in the guide. VT has been renamed LO and CT has been renamed HO. The AOP panel has no direct counterpart, DriveMonitor is not supported and there is no direct replacement for the DeviceNet module. The guide is written for firmware V4.6 and later and its cover is dated August 2013.

My MM440 has a CANopen, DeviceNet or encoder module; what is the replacement?

Encoder: the CU250S-2 (the PN and DP versions are 'Active Product' in SiePortal). CANopen: Siemens' guide names the CU250S-2 CAN, but that code (6SL3246-0BA22-1CA0) has been at 'P.M400' (phase-out announcement) in SiePortal since 1 October 2025, so for a new unit the communication architecture is worth reviewing. DeviceNet: there is no direct replacement; Siemens suggests a gateway or a move to EtherNet/IP with a PROFINET control unit.

How do I tell that my unit is an MM440 and not an MM420 or MM430?

From the order number on the rating plate: 6SE6420- for the MM420, 6SE6430- for the MM430 and 6SE6440- for the MM440. If the plate is unreadable: the MM440 goes from 0.12 to 250 kW, has six digital inputs, two analog inputs and three relays, has constant-torque (CT) ratings and vector control and accepts an encoder module. The MM420 stops at 11 kW and has three digital inputs; the MM430 starts at 7.5 kW, is made for pumps and fans and has no vector control.
