With the plug & play SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 connectivity module and SIDRIVE IQ Fleet analysis app, you can implement a cost-efficient and cloud-based solution for continuous condition monitoring as well as holistic fleet management of your low-voltage motors around the clock and worldwide.

Whether monitoring new motors or flexibly retrofitting the installed base – the MindSphere application SIDRIVE IQ Fleet increases the reliability, availability, efficiency, performance, and productivity of your low-voltage motors in many applications. Carry out preventive maintenance on your motors – based on reliable condition data and information on maintenance intervals.

From July 1, 2021, low-voltage motors up to 1,000 kW must meet at least efficiency class IE3 according to a new EU Directive. In a second step, from mid-2023, efficiency class IE4 will become mandatory for the 75-200 kW performance range.

For mains operation, the tried-and-tested SIMOTICS SD motors are already available up to shaft height 450 with the very high efficiency class IE4 – from 2.2 kW to 1,000 kW.

The first SIMOTICS SD version is characterized by its high starting and break loose torques. With SIMOTICS CONNECT – a sensor box mounted on the motor – the motors are IQ Ready.

The SIMOTICS SD Add version with its low starting currents and global certificates is designed for applications up to 1,000 kW in all important global regions and markets. Not only that, its low starting currents mean that a large number of industry-specific requirements and process industry specifications can be met, as well as having a positive influence on operating quality.  

Outstanding flexibility and scalability characterize the third variant. The SIMOTICS SD Pro motors can be operated directly on the line supply or with a converter up to 690 V in any plant or system configuration around the world. One special highlight of the SIMOTICS SD Pro is the unique combination of important global certificates, multi-voltage capability, as well as IE3-based efficiency stability, independent of the 50 Hz or 60 Hz line frequency.
