NCSD configurator SINUMERIK & SIMODRIVE

Intelligent selection aid for

configuring SINUMERIK and SIMODRIVE components

Customized systems can be assembled easily and quickly starting from the selection of the CNC control through to assigning operator components right up to configuring the drives.

Benefits

• Simple tree structure and clear navigation
• Variable module selection and sequence
• Configuration of sub-components and complete systems
• Order optimization thanks to automatic recalculation when the configuration is modified
• Constant testing of all selected components for consistency and reliability of interaction
• Generated parts lists can be loaded into the interactive CA 01 catalog.
• Parts list is completed by freely entering article numbers
• 10 languages: Chinese Simplified, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Swedish

The CNC, operator components, HMI software, SIMATIC S7-300 I/Os, converter system, motors and measuring system are all selected in the same manner.

Motors can be selected using the Article No. or by means of a motor wizard based on speed, torque or output. The matching power section and appropriate cables are automatically assigned to the motor. The cable lengths can then be specified application-specifically. Creation of special motors is supported. Linear motors can be connected in parallel to improve output performance.

The NCSD configurator provides up-to-date information, for example, about:

• Structure of the SINUMERIK components
• Structure of the SIMODRIVE network
• Motor data and options for motor core types
• DC link power and capacitance
• Assessment factors (electronic points and activation points)
• Power loss calculation for control cabinet components

Software update service, repair service contract, documentation and maintenance contracts for individual components are also implemented in the NCSD configurator.

You can obtain the NCSD configurator:

• Together with the interactive CA 01 catalog
• Continually updated in the Internet under:
