the Motion Control and PLC functionality are directly executed in the drive (SINAMICS S120)
a compact, space-saving construction is required
high performance is required for Motion Control and highspeed I/O
high electromagnetic compatibility and a high resistance to shock and vibration are required due to harsh ambient conditions
modular machine concepts with high-speed isochronous coupling are required
The flexible solution for modular machine concepts
SIMOTION D optimally supports the implementation of modular machine concepts in which single-axis drives and highperformance multi-axis drives have to be combined:
SIMOTION D410-2 (blocksize format) is the most cost-effective solution for the compact design of drives, ranging from single units to small-scale multi-axis solutions with typically 2 to 3 axes (max. 8 axes).
SIMOTION D4x5-2 (booksize format) performs the open-loop and closed-loop control functions for multi-axis groups with up to 128 axes.
Important applications include:
Packaging machines
Plastic and rubber processing machines
Presses, wire-drawing machines
Textile machines
Printing machines
Wood, glass, ceramics and stone working machines
Converting
Handling devices
Due to the increasing use of servo and vector drives, these machines require a high degree of integration of PLC, Motion Control and technology functions.
With SIMOTION D4x5-2 selected Control Units are also available as SIPLUS version for use under extremely difficult environmental conditions (e.g. in toxic atmospheres).
