This unit contains the programmable runtime system of SIMOTION and the drive software
of SINAMICS S120. As a general 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.
In SINAMICS S120/SIMOTION D, the individual components of the drive system
communicate with each other via DRIVE-CLiQ. In addition to power components, you can
link encoder systems and special DRIVE-CLiQ I/O devices via DRIVE-CLiQ.
