Driven to the best functions

Select Siemens drives by functions in firmware & software

Here is a fact: no drive system offers a greater number and variety of functionality than the SINAMICS family. Below you will find which products do what at which level. If you are wondering whether a drive will do something you need, but don't see that function listed for that drive, contact us – it might very well be possible. or we might have missed something.

Questions about drive functions?

Contact your local Siemens distributor or sales office

Functions Please note that these are lists of functions built-in as standard to the drive. Many functions might be added as an option or even as a software "patch." Contact Siemens if you have any questions.
