1.1 The SINAMICS range of drives
Variants
Depending on the application, the SINAMICS range offers the ideal version for any drive
task.
● SINAMICS G is designed for standard applications with induction motors. These
● SINAMICS S handles complex drive tasks with synchronous/induction motors and fulfills
Platform concept and Totally Integrated Automation
All SINAMICS versions are based on a platform concept. Common hardware and software
components, as well as standardized tools for design, configuration and commissioning
tasks, ensure high-level integration across all components. SINAMICS handles a wide
variety of drive tasks without system gaps. The different SINAMICS versions can be easily
combined with each other.
SINAMICS is part of the Siemens "Totally Integrated Automation" concept. Integrated
SINAMICS systems covering configuration, data storage, and communication at automation
level ensure low-maintenance solutions with the SIMATIC, SIMOTION, and SINUMERIK
control systems.
