Integrated drive control

The drive control integrated in the SIMOTION D425, D435 and D445-1 Control Units and in the CX32 Controller Extension is based on the drive control of a SINAMICS S120 CU320 Control Unit (firmware version V2.x), whereby there are minor functional differences. For example, the integrated drive control 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.

SIZER configuration tool

With the SIZER configuration tool, you can easily configure the SINAMICS S110/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.
