One drive range, extremely versatile application options

Whether for single-axis drives used for positioning tasks, for flexible and modular drive systems for demanding single- or multi-axis applications, motion control or machine tool solutions, the SINAMICS S range from Siemens always offers the right solution.

Drives for complex motion applications

Sinamics servo drives have been designed for applications where motion control functions must be quickly and precisely controlled. From simple position moves to high speed coordinated multi-axis systems including kinematics the Sinamics servo products offer the exact fit across the largest product spectrum.

Distributed / decentralized LV AC drives

Ideally suited for on-machine applications where communications capability is required, Siemens distributed drives are often found in the automotive sector, conveyor systems, distribution logistics and airports. Providing full functionality these units can save significant wiring and engineering costs.

Find the right ingredients in your cabinet

From a wall-mounted unit for a pump or fan to a 1,250 Hp mining conveyor drive that regenerates power back to the grid, Siemens offers standard and custom-engineered enclosed drive systems to exceed your expectations.

SINAMICS firmware functions -The right function for every application

Today, the main functionality of our SINAMICS drives is implemented in software. This "embedded" software is also known as firmware, and is functionally firmly assigned to a specific hardware (hence the name firmware).

In the case of SINAMICS drives, the firmware is subdivided into the operating system (OS) with drivers for the hardware, and the converter functions, which are also referred to as the runtime (RT) functions.

Learn about a big advantage that comes with SINAMICS

Overcurrent Protection (OCP), short-circuit current rating (SCCR) & a new UL Standard for VFDs, UL 61800-5-1: What you Need to Know

Join us for this webinar where we explain different types of overcurrent protective devices (OCPD), their behavior in circuit protection, and differences among them. This presentation highlights the requirements of motor branch circuit protection according to different standards as well as according to NEC/NFPA 70 for industrial control panels & variable frequency drives. The presentation also provides practical understanding of short-circuit current rating (SCCR) as well as OCPD sizing to obtain a desired SCCR for overall equipment or industrial control panel in compliance with UL/NEC/IEC.

As a bonus, a new UL standard, UL 61800-5-1 for VFDs will be discussed along with its impact to the industry & benefits to the users/OEMs/Panel builders. In addition, the strong benefits of using SINAMICS drives will be demonstrated from the product safety point of view which will help users/equipment owners reduce total cost of ownership through potential savings due to improved product safety and enhanced OSHA compliance.
