Platform concept and Totally Integrated Automation

All SINAMICS versions are based on a platform concept. Joint hardware and soft-
ware 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.
SINAMICS is part of the Siemens "Totally Integrated Automation" concept. Inte-
grated SINAMICS systems covering configuration, data storage, and communica-
tion at automation level ensure low-maintenance solutions with SIMATIC,
SIMOTION, and SINUMERIK.
