System overview
2.2 Platform Concept and Totally Integrated Automation
Depending on the application, the SINAMICS range offers the optimum version for any drive
task.
● SINAMICS S handles complex drive tasks with synchronous/induction motors and fulfills
stringent requirements regarding
– the dynamic performance and accuracy
– the integration of extensive technological functions in the drive control system
● SINAMICS S120M for distributed servo drive technology S120M is a synchronous motor
with integrated power unit, which is connected to a central Control Unit via DRIVE-CLiQ.
● SINAMICS G is designed for standard applications with induction motors. These
applications have less stringent requirements regarding the dynamic performance of the
motor speed.
● SINAMICS DC MASTER is the DC drive belonging to the SINAMICS family. As a result of
its standard expandability, it addresses both basic as well as demanding drive
applications and in complementary markets.

Platform Concept and Totally Integrated Automation
All SINAMICS versions are based on a platform concept. Joint hardware and software
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.
Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) with SINAMICS S120
Apart from SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINUMERIK, SINAMICS is one of the core
components of TIA. The STARTER commissioning tool is an integral element of TIA. It is
thus possible to seamlessly parameterize, program and commission all components in the
automation system using a standardized engineering system. The system-wide data
management functions ensure consistent data and simplify archiving of the entire plant
project.
PROFIBUS, the standard fieldbus of TIA, is supported by all SINAMICS S120 versions. It
provides a high-performance, system-wide communication network which links all
automation components:
● HMI (operator control and monitoring)
● Open-loop control
● Drives
● I/O
SINAMICS S120 is also available with a PROFINET interface. This Ethernet-based bus
enables control data to be exchanged at high speed via PROFINET IO with IRT or RT and
makes SINAMICS S120 a suitable choice for integration in top-performance multi-axis
applications. At the same time, PROFINET also uses standard IT mechanisms (TCP/IP) to
transport information, e.g. operating and diagnostic data, to higher-level systems. This
makes it easy to integrate into an IT corporate network.
