Drive Technology

Siemens features a comprehensive experience in industrial drive systems. Besides MICROMASTER, MASTERDRIVES and SIMODRIVE the established drive systems, Siemens offers now a new unified drives family, which provides nearly for every power rate and for every required perfomance a proper electrical drive. For the whole SINAMICS family, only two tools are to be used – SIZER for a save drive confiuration, and STARTER for easy and rapid commisioning.
Graphical Configuring of Drive-oriented Functions for SIMOTION and SINAMICS
Graphical configuring of drive-oriented functions for SIMOTION and SINAMICS
Drive Control Chart (DCC) is the system-wide graphical programming of technological functions for the SIMOTION Motion Control System and the SINAMICS S120 family of drives. DCC is a graphics tool used to interlink and parameterize multi-instance function blocks from a standard library. The closed-loop control structures are clearly represented using this method. This opens up for the user a new dimension in the adaptability of SIMOTION and SINAMICS to the specific functions of his machine.
Extended Safety Functions for SINAMICS Reduce Machine Downtimes
Extended safety functions for SINAMICS reduce machine downtimes.
The SINAMICS S120 drive system is available in a new Version V2.5 with additional safety functions that support the simple and standard-compliant implementation of innovative safety concepts. Safety functions Safe Stop 2, Safe Operating Stop, Safely-Limited Speed and Safe Speed Monitor supplement the existing integrated basic safety functions. When selected, the basic safety functions Safe Torque Off, Safe Stop 1 and Safe Brake Control always result in the supply of power to the motor being safely disconnected, e.g. in a dangerous situation.

SIMATIC ET 200SFC frequency converter completes SIMATIC ET 200pro system.
The system-integrated ET 200pro FC frequency converter completes the SIMATIC ET 200pro system. With all the advantages of the system, a variety of diagnostics options, degree of protection IP65, 1.1 kW, safety functions: STO, SS1 and SLS, encoderless; communication via PROFIBUS. For high performance transport applications.
New SINAMICS G120D Distributed Frequency Inverter
SINAMICS G120D
New in the Totally Integrated Automation portfolio: the SINAMICS G120D distributed frequency inverter.The distributed version of G120 has degree of protection IP65, an output of 0.75-7.5 kW and exceptional safety functions: STO, SS1 and SLS, encoderless; communication via PROFIBUS. Especially suitable for complex transport applications such as in the automotive industry.
Award-winning New NEMA Motors
The new NEMA motors were launched onto the market last year. They are so successful that they have won three awards already: The manufacturing and management magazine "Industry Week" awarded Siemens with its "Technology of the Year" prize for its innovative copper rotor. The magazine Plant Engineering designated the motors as product of the year 2006 in the "motors, drives & controls" category. And Siemens won a prize from Apex for outstanding sales literature.
