Users can choose from many different harmonizedcomponents and functions to create a solution that best meetstheir requirements. SIZER, a high-performance configurationtool, makes it easier to choose and determine the optimum driveconfiguration.SINAMICS S120 is enhanced by a wide range of motors.Whether synchronous or asynchronous, all motor types are supportedby SINAMICS S120.Drive for multi-axis applicationsThe trend towards separate axes in machine building is growingall the time. Where possible, central drives are being replacedby electronically coordinated servo drives. Drives with coupledDC links are required for this purpose, as they support economicenergy exchange between braking and driving axes.SINAMICS S120 covers a wide power range of Line and MotorModules, which, having been designed for seamless integration,pave the way for compact multi-axis drive configurations.New system architecture with a central Control UnitElectronically coordinated axes work together to perform yourdrive tasks. Higher-level controllers operate the drives toachieve the required coordinated movement. This requires cyclicdata exchange between the control and all the drives. Thisexchange usually took place via a field bus, which required agreat deal of time and effort for installation and configuration.SINAMICS S120 takes a different approach: A central ControlUnit controls the drives for all connected axes and also establishesthe technological links between the drives and/or axes.Since all the required data is stored in the central Control Unit, itdoes not need to be transferred. Inter-axis connections can beestablished within a Control Unit and easily configured in theSTARTER commissioning tool.8/60 Siemens PM 10 · 2005
