Simotion D

Compact multi axis control built into the drive
 
In our SIMOTION D axis control system, the SIMOTION functions are directly integrated into the control module of the SINAMICS S120 drive system. The advantage of our drive-based motion control system is  that it makes the overall system — consisting of the control and drive —significantly more compact and responsive. In addition, our innovative multi axis control system offers a high degree of scalability and flexibility in either a single-axle or multi-axis control system and with a range of versions for diverse applications.
 
Typical applications
 
SIMOTION D is recommended in any application where the following requirements for multi axis control apply.
 
  • Compact machines
  • Decentralized automation concepts, particularly for machines with a large number of axes
  • Modular machines – also as an addition to SIMOTION P or SIMOTION C
  • Time-critical applications for coupled axes

The benefits of our multi axis control solution at a glance
 
  • Significant cost savings through integration of motion control, technology and PLC functions directly into the drive
  • Compact design for reduced control cabinet volume
  • Particularly quick response as there are no interfaces
 
SIMOTION D - Versions
 
In SIMOTION D the SIMOTION functionality is integrated directly in the closed-loop control module of the SINAMICS S120 drive system. This makes the complete system (consisting of the control and the drive) extremely compact and powerful.
 
Designs
 
SIMOTION D is available in two designs:
  • the SIMOTION D410-2 single-axis system with multi-axis option (Blocksize format)
  • the SIMOTION D4x5-2 multi-axis system in four performance variants for up to 128 axes (Booksize format)
 

The fine scalability ensures maximum scalability and flexibility. 

Possible applications range from single axes to high-performance multi-axis machines.
 
Communication
 
For visualization and operation SIMATIC HMI devices can be connected via PROFIBUS, PROFINET or Ethernet depending on the SIMOTION D variant BUS, PROFINET. Distributed I/O is connected via PROFIBUS or PROFINET.
