Integrated drive control

The drive control functions integrated in a SIMOTION D410 are based on the drive control of a SINAMICS S120 CU310 (firmware version 2.x), although there is a slight difference in functionality. For example, the SIMOTION D410 does not have a basic positioner function (EPos), since this is already covered by SIMOTION technology functions.

For more information, refer to Section "System description – Dimensioning" and the documentation for SIMOTION and SINAMICS.

Licensing notes

SIMOTION D410 is the SIMOTION D variant for single-axis applications and already contains the motion control technology functions for one real axis (speed control, positioning, synchronous operation, cam). An additional license is therefore not needed for this purpose. It is not possible to increase the number of axes using licenses. Apart from one real axis, further virtual axes can be configured.

Licensed runtime functions such as SIMOTION IT Virtual Machine require licenses which can be ordered pre-installed on a CompactFlash Card (CF) or individually.

For more information, refer to section "Ordering of licenses for runtime software".

SIZER configuration tool

With the SIZER configuration tool, you can easily configure the SINAMICS S110 and S120 drive families including SIMOTION. It provides you with support for selecting and dimensioning the components for a Motion Control task. You can also determine the possible number of axes and the resulting load with SIZER in accordance with your performance requirements.

For more information about SIZER, refer to Section "System description – Dimensioning".
