Application areas of the SINAMICS drive family
Application
SINAMICS is the family of drives from Siemens designed for
industrial machine and plant construction. SINAMICS offers
solutions for all drive tasks:
7
Simple pump and fan applications in the process industry
7
Complex single-motor drives in centrifuges, presses, extrud-
ers, elevators, as well as conveyor and transport systems
7
Drive line-ups in textile, plastic film, and paper machines, as
well as in rolling mill plants
7
High-precision servo drives for the manufacture of wind turbines
7
Highly dynamic servo drives for machine tools, as well as
packaging and printing machines
Product variants
Depending on the application, the SINAMICS range offers the
ideal variant for any drive task.
7
SINAMICS G is designed for standard applications with induc-
tion motors. These applications have less stringent require-
ments regarding the dynamic performance of the motor speed.
7
SINAMICS S handles demanding drive tasks with synchro-
nous and induction motors and fulfills stringent requirements
regarding
- the dynamic performance and accuracy
- integration of extensive technological functions in the drive
control system.
7
SINAMICS DCM is the DC drive belonging to the SINAMICS
family. As a result of its expandability across the board, it
addresses both basic as well as demanding applications in
drive technology and in complementary markets.
Platform concept and Totally Integrated Automation
All SINAMICS versions are based on a platform concept.
Common hardware and software components, as well as
standardized tools for design, configuration and commissioning
tasks, ensure high-level integration across all components.
SINAMICS handles a wide variety of drive tasks without system
gaps. The different SINAMICS versions can be easily combined
with each other.
SINAMICS is part of the Siemens "Totally Integrated Automation"
concept. Integrated SINAMICS systems covering engineering,
data management and communication at the automation level,
result in extremely cost-effective solutions based on
SIMOTION, SINUMERIK and SIMATIC control systems.
