Platform Concept And Totally Integrated Automation - Siemens SINAMICS S110 Manual

System overview

2.2 Platform Concept and Totally Integrated Automation

Depending on the application, the SINAMICS range offers the ideal variant for any drive
task.
● SINAMICS G is designed for standard applications with induction motors. These
applications have less stringent requirements regarding the dynamic performance of the
motor speed.
● SINAMICS S handles complex drive tasks with synchronous and induction motors and
meets stringent requirements for:
– Dynamics and accuracy
– Integration of extensive technical functions in the drive control system
● SINAMICS DC MASTER is the DC drive of the SINAMICS family. As a result of its
standard expandability, it addresses both basic as well as demanding drive applications
and in complementary markets.
2.2 Platform Concept and Totally Integrated Automation
All SINAMICS versions are based on a platform concept. Joint 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 with no system gaps. The different SINAMICS versions can be easily
combined with each other.
Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) with SINAMICS S110
Apart from SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINUMERIK, SINAMICS is one of the core
components of TIA. The STARTER commissioning tool is an integral element of the TIA
platform. It is thus possible to parameterize, program and commission all components in the
automation system using a standardized engineering platform and without any gaps. The
system-wide data management functions ensure consistent data and simplify archiving of
the entire plant project.
SINAMICS S110 supports PROFIBUS DP, the standard field bus of the TIA system. It
provides a high-performance, system-wide communication network which links all
automation components: HMI, controls, drives and I/O devices.
SINAMICS S110 is also available with a PROFINET interface. This Ethernet-based bus
allows the rapid exchange of control data via PROFINET IO.
