128 axes per controller with a minimal cycle time of 0.125 ms
Our drive-based motion controller SIMOTION D integrates motion control, technology, and PLC functions directly into the drive. Your benefits: high machine cycle rates, reproducible product quality, significant cost savings, and reduced space requirements inside the control cabinet.
SIMOTION
The perfect combination of controller and drive
Compact, flexibly scalable, economical, and highly responsive: With SIMOTION D, the PLC, technology, and motion control functions are integrated directly into the control module of the SINAMICS S120 drive system.
High performance on a small footprint
SIMOTION D requires about 50 percent less space than a conventional PLC with separate drive control. This makes the system ideal for distributed or modular automation solutions, particularly with complex machines requiring highly time-critical axis synchronization.
SIMOTION D areas of application
- High-end machines
The ideal solution for complex multi-axis machines requiring shortest cycle times as well as optimal product quality through a deterministic and reproducible machine behavior. - Compact machines
SIMOTION D is recommended wherever there is a need to implement complex applications in a small space. As the controller and drive are combined in a single system, SIMOTION D takes up very little space in the control cabinet. - Modular machines
In modular environments SIMOTION D is available, for example, as a supplement to the SIMOTION P or SIMOTION C system. The systems are connected via PROFINET with IRT.
- Distributed automation solutions
SIMOTION D scores with multi-axis machines whose modules are each controlled by a SIMOTION controller, which mutually exchange process values in isochronous mode (distributed gearing). - Harsh conditions
With the SIPLUS variants, SIMOTION D is optimized for use under tough operating conditions (e.g. in atmospheres with harmful gases).
