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 D410 is a module drive system for single axes, which solves demanding drive tasks
for a very wide range of industrial applications. SIMOTION D410 supplements the SIMOTION
D4x5/D4x5-2 control units for multi-axis applications.
Note
The SIMOTION D410 is described in this manual. Separate manuals are available for the
SIMOTION D410-2, D4x5 and D4x5-2.
SIMOTION D is an integral part of 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 D410.
Application
Combining a power module with SIMOTION D410 forms a compact single drive for machine
and plant engineering.
Applications include:
● Machine concepts with central drive (e.g., pressing, printing and packaging machines, . . .)
● Modular machine concepts where the machine modules broken down to single axes
● Single drives with high accuracy, stability and concentricity requirements (compared with
● Single drives for transport tasks (conveying, raising, lowering)
● Single drives with integrated PLC functionality and expanded motion control functionality
● Drives without power recovery (wire drawing, extruding)
● Drive connections with high availability requirements (incoming supply failure may not
