Common Engineering
All functions of the inverters are implemented to enable a com-
mon engineering approach to their handling no matter which
type of drive is selected; i.e. if a function is used in drive x, it can
be configured intuitively and commissioned in the same way in
drive y. Knowledge gained can therefore be reused easily and
efficiently. The configuration and commissioning tools in par-
ticular (such as SIZER for Siemens Drives, STARTER and
SINAMICS Startdrive) reflect this approach.
For further information, see section "Engineering tools".
Applications & Branch know-how
Siemens has applied these technology functions (standard
and/or advanced) to generate numerous application solutions.
These applications can be downloaded from the Siemens
Application Support website at
/sinamics-applications
The STARTER commissioning tool can then be used to activate
and configure the applications and download them to the
Control Units.
Applications & Branch know-how
Depending on the technology function, a license may be
required for the application (
see section "Control Units and
memory cards"
).
In some branch-specific Control Units (e.g. CU230P-2) branch-
functions are also an integral part of the firmware.
For further information, see section "Drive applications".
