Example of an axis grouping with SIMOTION D4x5-2
This unit contains the programmable runtime system of SIMOTION and the drive software
of SINAMICS S120. In principle, SIMOTION D is capable of controlling multiple
axes/drives.
This module generates a DC link from the supply system.
These modules are used to control motors.
It is also possible to operate SINAMICS PM340 power modules with the SINAMICS
control unit adapter (CUA). A separate infeed is then unnecessary.
In SINAMICS S120 / SIMOTION D, the individual components of the drive system
communicate with each other via DRIVE-CLiQ. In addition to power components,
encoder systems and special DRIVE-CLiQ I/O devices can also be linked via
DRIVE-CLiQ.
