Standard applications: Understanding and profiting from know-how
The development of standard applications is a major area of activity within the Siemens automation and drive environment. The scope of these standard applications ranges from clearly organized documentation that focuses on one or several technologies (e.g. Safety Integrated) to complete, comprehensive, standardized solutions for complex tasks (e.g. cross cutters).
Standard application requirements
One feature that all application examples have in common is that they are designed to help users help themselves. They have been created by developers with extensive tool, commissioning and application know-how to make them as user-friendly as possible. Standard applications generally provide the user with reusable components.

Advanced technology functions
The development of standard technological applications is a dedicated area of activity within the Siemens automation and drive environment. Owing to the generally large size of the applications, they are supplied with detailed documentation and example codes.
These applications focus on the use of product features such as SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (DCC) with its Drive Control Block (DCB) libraries of DCB Standard and DCB Extension, SINAMICS Technology Extensions (TEC) and Free Function Blocks (FFB).
This enables extensive, complete and standardized solutions to be developed for complex drive tasks.
These solutions can be flexibly adapted while at the same time allowing the user to expand them with additional elements or special functions as required.
Application examples
Freely available application examples offer:
- Explanation of the necessary configuring steps with Siemens engineering tools
- Reusable standardized blocks for SIMATIC PLC
- Functionally coordinated programs and blocks
- Significantly shorter commissioning times
Various application examples also explain how to use Free Function Blocks (FFB), logic processing integrated in the drive with Drive Control Chart (DCC) and Safety Integrated.
The following application examples are just a selection of some of the many applications that are available on the internet at:

1) Information on the SIMATIC ET 200pro FC-2 frequency converter with PROFINET, PROFIBUS DP or EtherNet/IP – depending on the SIMATIC ET 200pro station – is available at:
www.siemens.com/et200pro-fc
2) SINAMICS G180 has its own Control Unit with its own firmware. Compared to the SINAMICS firmware, some functionalities are not available or implemented differently.

Technological applications for SINAMICS S120
G_D211_XX_00348
Another focal point are the technologically sophisticated application examples such as:
- Cross cutter
- Flying saw
- Winder
- Angular-locked synchronism in four different variants
G_D211_XX_00355
The technological applications make selective use of the relevant engineering concepts in order to facilitate implementation.
Customer benefits:
- Drive-oriented solutions of positioning and synchronous operation applications
- Significant expansion of the DCC scope of functions
- Drive-oriented interpretation of application technology know-how in dedicated solutions
- Drive-oriented complex mechanical calculations
Basis for the technological applications
The technological applications supplied by Siemens are based on the DCB Extension libraries 1) "GMC" or "Math Extended".
GMC: for Motion Control applications 1)
- For applications with an extensive range of Motion Control functions (positioning, synchronous operation, cam, etc.)
- Individual functions are implemented as elementary function blocks
- Functions that can be combined are linked to form complex elementary function blocks
- These functions can be optionally combined to implement complex tasks
Math Extended: for extended mathematical and logical functions 1)
- Provision of supplementary mathematical functions
- Additional trigonometric functions such as arc sine and arc cosine
- Additional logarithmic functions (common/natural logarithm)
- Additional logic functions (word-serial AND / OR, etc.)
1) Use of the internal drive interface to integrate a DCB library requires a license. See SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (SINAMICS DCC).
Requirement of the technological applications
Technological applications are generally complex in terms of process engineering, mathematics and concept. They are designed to provide the user with reusable components in the form of a standard application.
Reusable components:
- Tested SIMATIC PLC blocks
- Finished commissioning/configuration scripts
- Application-specific Drive Control Charts (DCC)
- With application-specific DCB Extension libraries
- Reusable HMIs and faceplates
