Product overview
2.1 Application range
Properties
Important properties of the SIMATIC Drive Controller:
● Fail-safe technology CPU including drive control with safety functions integrated in the
drive
● Extremely compact because the CPU is integrated in the drive system without taking up
any additional space
● One memory card for CPU and SINAMICS Integrated
Easy handling
● Less cabling and installation effort thanks to SINAMICS Integrated
● Easy configuring in the hardware configuration of STEP 7
● Central data management with one memory card for CPU and SINAMICS Integrated
● Central license handling in the TIA Portal
● Easy and efficient commissioning and optimization of drives using the SINAMICS
Startdrive engineering tool in the TIA Portal
● Optimization function for determining the optimal precontrol and gain (Kv factor) for the
closed loop position control of the axis
Optimized for production machinery
● Performance classes and memory size optimized for production machinery
● Wide range of interfaces, consistent across performance range
● Technology I/Os onboard
– 12 digital inputs and 16 user-configurable digital inputs/outputs
– Up to 8 outputs configurable as high-speed outputs for ultra-short output delays and
