Configuration
The following electronic configuring guides and engineering
tools are available for SINAMICS G120P converters:
SinaSave energy efficiency tool
Use SinaSave to calculate potential energy savings
The web-based tool SinaSave can be used to estimate the po-
tential savings which can be achieved over the entire lifecycle,
e.g. for pump and fan applications, thanks to SINAMICS. The
tool takes into consideration all important plant-specific quanti-
ties, such as the power and load data of the application, the rel-
evant control mode and the operation profile for the application
in question. The result delivered by the tool specifies the poten-
tial energy savings which can be achieved with the specific ap-
plication in conjunction with the Integrated Drive System or the
drive component. The tool also provides a monetary evaluation
of the potential savings and estimates the payback period.
Drive Technology Configurator (DT Configurator)
Drive Technology Configurator (DT Configurator) within the
CA 01
The interactive catalog CA 01 – the offline Industry Mall of
Siemens on DVD-ROM – contains over 100 000 products with
approximately 5 million possible drive system product variants.
The Drive Technology Configurator (DT Configurator) has been
developed to facilitate selection of the correct motor and/or con-
verter from the wide spectrum of drives. It is integrated as a se-
lection tool in Catalog CA 01.
Online DT Configurator
In addition, the DT Configurator can be used on the Internet with-
out requiring any installation. The DT Configurator can be found
in the Siemens Industry Mall at the following address:

SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering tool
Configuring made simple and systematic
The SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering tool is used to config-
ure low-voltage drive systems: Using the application as the
prime reference, this tool provides step-by-step support in defin-
ing the mechanical system and designing converters, motors
and gear units. It also helps the user to configure other system
components and to design open-loop and closed-loop control
functions. In addition to engineering results such as characteris-
tics, technical specifications and installation and dimensional
drawings, SIZER for Siemens Drives also provides calculations
pertaining to performance and load-dependent power require-
ments.
SIZER WEB ENGINEERING engineering tool
Drive engineering – flexible, customized and user-friendly
A solution for a drive task can be identified quickly with the web-
based tool: menu-prompted workflows guide the user through
the technical selection and dimensioning of products and drive
systems, including the accessories.
Based on an integrated inquiry functionality, SIZER WEB
ENGINEERING also offers you special customized solutions
for applications which cannot be addressed using "Standard
Products"; i.e. the focus is on flexibility and customized solu-
tions.
Comprehensive documentation, such as data sheets, startup
calculations, dimensional drawings, offer documentation and a
lot more are integrated in the tool. The result: Customized solu-
tions for any drive task.
The product groups supported are:
•
High-voltage motors
•
Low-voltage motors
•
Medium-voltage converters
•
Low-voltage converters
•
DC converters
The tool can also be used to design the following drive systems:
•
Medium-voltage systems
•
Low-voltage systems
- Basic single-axis applications for pumps, fans, and
compressors
- Complex applications (on condition that: SIZER for Siemens
Drives is installed)
STARTER commissioning tool
Commissioning and diagnostics – intelligent and easy
The STARTER commissioning tool allows menu-prompted com-
missioning, optimization and diagnostics. Apart from the
SINAMICS drives, STARTER is also suitable for
MICROMASTER 4 devices.
SINAMICS Startdrive commissioning tool
SINAMICS engineering in the TIA Portal
SINAMICS Startdrive is a tool for configuring, commissioning,
and diagnosing the SINAMICS family of drives and is integrated
into the TIA Portal. SINAMICS Startdrive can be used to imple-
ment drive tasks with the SINAMICS G120, SINAMICS G120C,
SINAMICS G110M, SINAMICS G120D and SINAMICS G120P
drives. The commissioning tool has been optimized with regard
to user-friendliness and consistent use of the TIA Portal benefits
of a common working environment for PLC, HMI and drives.
Drive ES engineering system
Drive ES is the engineering system that can be used to integrate
the communication, configuration and data management func-
tions of Siemens drive technology into the SIMATIC automation
world easily, efficiently and cost-effectively. Two software pack-
ages are available for SINAMICS – Drive ES Basic and
Drive ES PCS 7.
You can find further information about the Drive ES engineering
system in the chapter Engineering Tools.
