Overview

SINAMICS Drive Software ensures that our SINAMICS frequency converters operate smoothly and reliably.

It offers comprehensive functionality, is easily expandable and enables the greatest possible flexibility for a wide range of applications.

Comprehensive functionality

The software enables highly accurate and dynamic control of different types of motors.

Integrated functions help to reduce energy consumption. The software protects the converter against overload and ensures high availability. Furthermore, positioning tasks as well as logic and technology functions can be taken over directly by the drive.

Easily expandable

Most of the SINAMICS Drive Software functionality is already included in the basic scope of our frequency converters.

However, the scope of performance can be further increased via additional SINAMICS Drive Software options.

These options allow the use of special added value or expansion functions.

For example, the SINAMICS Safety Integrated Extended option provides additional safety functions compared to the basic version.

Greatest flexibility

The additional SINAMICS Drive Software options can easily be ordered together with the SINAMICS frequency converter.

You do not know which options you need at the beginning?

No problem, besides options that can be ordered directly at the time of purchase, some options can also be ordered later.

Before purchasing, you can test the SINAMICS Drive Software options free of charge for a limited time (trial license concept).

Motor Control Functions

Basic – but most important!

From standard pump and fan applications to high-end drives with complex multi-axis servo applications:

Motor control with SINAMICS drives is always perfect.

A wide variety of motor technologies and performance levels with optimal settings for all applications can be controlled. Just the perfect control for your task!

Technology Functions

The SINAMICS drives' range of applications is significantly expanded by the Technology Functions.

From logic to positioning and more – everything on board!

User Experience

An excellent user experience is given throughout the whole engineering chain as well as throughout the whole drives portfolio due to consistent Ethernet-based interfaces, communication protocols (wired or wireless) as well as up to date browser technologies.

All of the converter functions have been designed so that they can be handled in the same way from an engineering perspective, irrespective of the selected drive type.
Knowledge gained can therefore be reused easily and efficiently.

Safety Integrated Functions

SINAMICS drives offer comprehensive and integrated safety functions.
These act significantly faster than conventional designs.
As a consequence, Safety Integrated further increases the safety of a machine.

Security Integrated Functions

Keep systems and data safe with Security Integrated.

With the new Security Integrated functions, we are protecting SINAMICS drives against cyber attacks from the outside (available for SINAMICS S200, SINAMICS S210 (6SL5...), SINAMICS G220).

Energy Efficiency and Grid Capability Functions

Energy is valuable and should be used as efficiently as possible.

SINAMICS drives offer integrated functions for energy efficiency and naturally also support PROFIenergy.

Connectivity Functions

Consistent openness today and tomorrow.

SINAMICS offers a comprehensive range of communication options for engineering, exchanging data between drives – and naturally for exchanging data with higher level automation systems.

Digital Drivetrain

Getting started in drive technology digitalization is very easy. We offer suitable digitalization solutions for low-voltage motors and low-voltage converters for every phase in the life cycle of a machine or plant. Our portfolio extends from the digital to the real drive train. Thanks to continuous integration, it is possible to start today in one area with little effort – and use the information acquired elsewhere tomorrow.
