A high-quality programmable control or drive system can be used to maximum effect only if the user is aware of the performance of the products used as a result of intensive training and good technical documentation.

This is becoming more important due to the shorter innovation cycles of modern automation products and the convergence of electronics and mechanical engineering.

A comprehensive range of documentation is available which includes a Getting Started guide, operating instructions, installation manuals and a list manual.

The documents are available in hardcopy form or as a PDF file for downloading from the Internet.

Information and documentation relating to SINUMERIK, SINAMICS, SIMOTION and SIMOTICS are available on the Internet at

In addition to many other useful documents, the Information and Download Center also contains catalogs about the following systems:

• SINUMERIK: NC 62, NC 81.1, NC 82
• SINAMICS: D 11, D 12, D 21.3, D 21.4, D 23.1, D 23.2, D 31.1, D 31.2, D 32, D 35
• SIMOTION: PM 21
• SIMOTICS: D 21.4, D 41, D 81.1, D 81.8, D 83.1

You can download these catalogs in PDF format – you don't need to log on. You can perform a targeted search using the filter box above the first displayed catalog.
