System overview

Overview
SIMOTION D is a drive-based version of SIMOTION based on the SINAMICS S120 drive
family.
With SIMOTION D, the SIMOTION PLC and motion control functionalities as well as the
SINAMICS S120 drive software run on shared control hardware.
SIMOTION D is available in two versions:
● SIMOTION D410-2 is a compact control unit predestined for single-axis applications. The
● SIMOTION D4x5-2 is a Control Unit for multi-axis applications in SINAMICS S120 booksize
The SIMOTION D4x5 2 is described in this manual. Separate manuals are available for the
SIMOTION D410-2 and the D4x5/D410 predecessor modules.
Like SINAMICS S120, SIMOTION D also follows the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)
concept. TIA is characterized by integrated data management, configuration, and
communication for all products and systems. Thus, an extensive toolbox of automation
modules is also available for SIMOTION D.
Note
In order to cover all versions of SIMOTION D for multi-axis applications, the product will be
referred to as "D4x5‑2". Specific product designations will be used for information that applies
only to one product version, e.g. D445‑2 DP/PN.
SIMOTION D4x5-2 DP describes all PROFIBUS versions and SIMOTION D4x5-2 DP/PN all
PROFIBUS/PROFINET versions of the SIMOTION D4x5-2 control units.
Application
