Overview
Integration in automation
Totally Integrated Automation and communication
SINAMICS is an integral component of the Siemens "Totally
Integrated Automation" concept. Integrated SINAMICS systems
covering configuration, data storage, and communication at
automation level ensure low-maintenance solutions with the
SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINUMERIK control systems.
Depending on the application, the appropriate variable frequency
drives can be selected and incorporated in the automation con-
cept. 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 establishing a
communication link to the automation system:
• PROFINET
• PROFIBUS
• EtherNet/IP
•
Modbus TCP
•
Modbus RTU
• AS-Interface
• BACnet MS/TP
