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
Apart from SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINUMERIK, SINAMICS is one of the core components of TIA.
It is thus possible to assign parameters, program and commission all components in the
automation solution with the Startdrive or STARTER commissioning tool using a standardized
engineering platform and without any system transitions (seamless engineering). The system-
wide data management functions ensure consistent data and simplify archiving of the entire
plant project.
From V14, the Startdrive commissioning tool is an integral element of the TIA platform.
Communication via PROFINET
This Ethernet-based bus enables closed-loop control data to be exchanged at high speed via
PROFINET IO with IRT or RT allowing SINAMICS to be used in multi-axis applications demanding
the highest degree of performance. At the same time, PROFINET also uses standard IT
mechanisms (TCP/IP) to transport information, e.g. operating and diagnostics data to higher-
level systems. This makes it easy to integrate into an IT corporate network.
Communication via PROFIBUS DP
This bus provides a high-performance, system-wide and integrated communication network
which links all automation components of the automation solution:
• HMI (operator control and monitoring)
• Control
• Drives and I/O
