SIZER engineering tool

Overview
Figure 2-1
The SIZER configuration tool provides an easy-to-use means of configuring the SINAMICS
and MICROMASTER 4 drive families, as well as the SINUMERIK solution line CNC control
and SIMOTION Motion Control system. It provides support for the technical planning of the
hardware and firmware components required for a drive task. SIZER supports the complete
configuration of the drive system, from simple individual drives to complex multi-axis
applications.
SIZER supports all of the engineering steps in a workflow:
● Configuring the power supply
● Designing the motor and gearbox, including calculation of mechanical transmission
● Configuring the drive components
● Compiling the required accessories
● Selection of the line-side and motor-side power options
When SIZER was being designed, particular importance was placed on a high degree of
usability and a universal, function-based approach to the drive application. The extensive
user navigation makes it easy to use the tool. Status information keeps you continually
informed about how engineering is progressing.
