SIMOTION D Control Units: D410‑2, D4x5‑2 (4 performance classes)

SIMOTION D is a compact, drive-based version of SIMOTION based on the SINAMICS S120 drives family.

The SIMOTION D Control Units are available in the following variants:

• SIMOTION D410-2 are compact Control Units for single-axis applications with multi-axis option. The Control Units are available in variants D410-2 DP and D410-2 DP/PN and are snapped onto the SINAMICS S120 Power Modules in blocksize format.
• SIMOTION D4x5-2 are Control Units for multi-axis applications in the SINAMICS S120 booksize format and are available in the following performance variants:
  • SIMOTION D425-2 DP and D425-2 DP/PN Control Units
    (BASIC performance) for up to 16 axes
  • SIMOTION D435-2 DP and D435-2 DP/PN Control Units
    (STANDARD Performance) for up to 32 axes
  • SIMOTION D445-2 DP/PN Control Unit
    (HIGH performance) for up to 64 axes
  • SIMOTION D455-2 DP/PN Control Unit
    (ULTRA-HIGH performance) for up to 128 axes or applications with very short control cycles

This fine scalability ensures a quick response to changing requirements in automation without having to change the system.

System concept

With SIMOTION D, the PLC, the Motion Control and technology functions as well as the SINAMICS S120 drive software run on a shared control hardware. The IEC 61131-3-compliant PLC integrated in SIMOTION D means that the system is not just capable of controlling sequences of motions, but the entire machine can also be controlled with a single compact unit.

Depending on the SIMOTION D platform, HMI devices can be operated on the PROFINET, Ethernet or PROFIBUS interfaces for operator control and monitoring. Functions such as remote maintenance, diagnostics and teleservice can also be used via these interfaces.
