SINAMICS in automation
Totally Integrated Automation and communication
SINAMICS is an integral component of the Siemens "Totally Inte-
grated Automation" concept. Integrated SINAMICS systems
covering configuration, data storage, and communication at au-
tomation level ensure low-maintenance solutions with the
SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINUMERIK control systems.
Depending on the application, the appropriate variable fre-
quency drives can be selected and incorporated in the automa-
tion concept. With this in mind, the drives are clearly subdivided
into their different applications. A wide range of communication
options (depending on the drive type) are available for establish-
ing a communication link to the automation system:
• PROFINET
• EtherNet/IP
• PROFIBUS
• AS-Interface
• USS
• CANopen
•
Modbus RTU
•
BACnet MS/TP
