SIEMENS
STARTER is an intelligent tool that you can use to simply
configure and commission the drive components for all
SINAMICS drives, more specifically menu-prompted and
graphically supported.
STARTER commissioning software
STARTER is especially helpful in importing all of the rele-
vant data from the electronic type plates of the drive
components. This speeds up parameterization, prevents
possible incorrect entries and therefore significantly
reduces your costs.
Using integrated test functions, you can check your entries
and optimize parameters. Velocity characteristics, as
well as setpoint and actual value curves, are logged over
time and processed to create transparent graphics for
clear diagnostics and fast orientation.

... commissioning with STARTER
Even stronger in a team
STARTER and SIZER can run as dedicated Windows appli-
cations. They are linked to the drives via USB port, serial
interface, via PROFIBUS DP or via Ethernet / PROFINET.
STARTER can also be integrated into SIMOTION SCOUT,
the engineering system of the SIMOTION motion control
system.
The same applies when operating the drives in conjunction
with the SIMATIC automation system. Embedded in STEP 7,
the drive technology is completely integrated into the PLC
environment. Completely integrated automation solutions
are obtained by linking SINAMICS with SIMOTION, SIMATIC
or SINUMERIK machine tool control solutions. These solu-
tions are from a single source that can be engineered,
parameterized and commissioned using one central engi-
neering software. This concept also pays off when it comes
to service, as it facilitates simple diagnostics and trouble-
shooting on site or through teleservice.
STARTER and SIZER are available in German, English,
French and Italian, STARTER is additionally available in
Spanish. Further, for SIZER we provide an online help in
Japanese and Chinese.
