the flexible and high-performance drive system

You are choosing a system with the best performance, productivity, and flexibility when you choose SINAMICS S120. This modular allows you to rapidly and easily adapt the drive system for practically any driving application to meet your exact needs.

Universal. Precise.Safe

Universal

• Power and closed-loop control performance can be freely coupled thanks to SINAMICS S120.
• Increased adaptability with intelligence for central closed-loop control
• Vector and servo control performance can be flexibly chosen

Precise

• Reduce life cycle costs for systems and plants
• The Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) engineering platform allows for the parameterisation, programming and commissioning of any component without causing any system interruptions
• A wide variety of embedded software is mostly used to implement the functions.

Safe

• Safety integrated is a universal, standardised safety concept.
• STO, SBC, SS1 SS2, SOS, SLS, SDI, SSM, SLP, SP, and SBT are examples of integrated safety functions
• Smooth execution of safety features in compliance with PL d (EN ISO 13849-1) and SIL (EN 61508)

In the realm of digital drives, SINAMICS S120

With digital drive data, you can jumpstart a productive future with greater transparency, efficiency, and simplicity as well as reduced effort, errors, and expenses.

SINAMICS S120 – now integrated into the TIA Selection Tool

The initial phase involves integrating the SINAMICS S120 Booksize Active Line/Motor modules into the TIA Selection Tool, which makes dimensioning and configuration quick and easy. This makes it simple for you to use application-specific criteria to define your automation and drive design, including control, motor, gear unit, and converter. After that, the industry Mall gathers the relevant product listings and paperwork for your order.

Quick: Complete project configuration with just a few inputs

Easy: Technically always up-to-date about product portfolio and innovative approaches

Smart: Smart selection wizard for error-free configuration and ordering, pre-testing and simulating

“SINAMICS DriveSim Basic” simulation

With little parameterisation work and ease of use, the virtualisation program “DriveSim Designer” enables the accurate simulation of all SINAMICS S120 device types. The simulation tool imports a standardised “Functional Mock-up Unit” (FMU) straight into it. Even before the design stage, drive configurations in machines can be simulated, modified, and optimised using specific drive parameters and interfaces. Unlike the actual product, just the necessary portion of the drive can be configured in the simulation. This improves quality, speeds up the planning process overall, and saves time.

The control system and mechanical interface, including virtual commissioning of the PLC, can be automatically tested and validated through the use of “DriveSim Designer”.

Suitable applications for SINAMICS S120

• Moving: The drive for compressing, ventilating, and pumping is SINAMICS
• Processing: SINAMICS is the engine that powers continuous operations with precise torque and rapid speed.
• Positioning: The drive for placing one or more coordinated axes is know as SINAMICS
• Machinery: All material processing applications rely on SINAMICS
