System overview
2.1 The SINAMICS range of drives
Variants
Depending on the application, the SINAMICS range offers the ideal variant for any drive
task.
● SINAMICS V
From both the hardware perspective as well as the functionality, these converters focus
on the essential issues. The result is a high degree of ruggedness with low investment
costs.
Operation is directly at the converter without requiring any additional engineering tools.
SINAMICS V is especially suitable for applications where no special drive-related know-
how is required.
● SINAMICS G
In operation, SINAMICS G converters fully leverage their technological strength. Users
benefit from a standard but at the same time straightforward operating concept.
This minimizes training and service costs. Another impressive feature of the SINAMICS G
range is its optimum price-performance ratio.
● SINAMICS S
SINAMICS S converters have been specially developed for use in complex machine and
plant engineering applications – and to meet the demands of a broad range of motion
control tasks. One essential feature is especially: The highest level of standardized
engineering.
Platform concept
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.
