System components

Central components
SIMOTION D4x5 communicates with automation components via the following interfaces:
● PROFIBUS DP
● Ethernet
● PROFINET IO (when using a CBE30)
● DRIVE‑CLiQ (DRIVE Component Link with IQ).
SIMOTION D features a SINAMICS Integrated drive element. Communication with the
SINAMICS Integrated is via PROFIBUS mechanisms (DP Integrated).
The most important components of the system and their functions are shown below.

Central components
Function
... is the central motion control module.
This module contains the programmable SIMOTION runtime for the
SIMOTION D4x5 and the SINAMICS S120 drive software.
You can use the integrated high-speed digital I/Os as:
● Homing inputs
● Inputs for measuring inputs
● User-addressable process I/Os
● Outputs for fast output cams
The measuring sockets can output any analog signals.
The basic functionality of SIMOTION D is supplied on a CompactFlash
card containing the following:
● SIMOTION runtime (kernel)
● Drive software of SINAMICS S120 - implements all drive functions
... provides the electronics power supply for SIMOTION D, e.g. via the
SITOP power supply.
