SIMARIS planning tools for systems with SINAMICS drives
■ Overview
Electrical Planning: Simplified by Electrical Design
Software!
Electrical planning of power distribution systems in functional
and industrial buildings has never been easy and is now more
complex than ever. The electrical calculation software tools
SIMARIS design for dimensioning and SIMARIS project for determination
of the distribution boards’ space requirements support
technical planners with the electrical planning process with
SINAMICS drives.
Supported SINAMICS drives:
• SINAMICS G120, SINAMICS G120D, SINAMICS G120X
• SINAMICS G110D, SINAMICS G110M
• SINAMICS G130, SINAMICS G150

■ Overview
SIMARIS design is a planning tool for quick and effective network
calculation and dimensioning of power distribution for nonresidential
and industrial buildings.
Starting in the planning phase, the entire electrical circuit required
for the project can be structured and dimensioned on the
basis of real products. For this purpose, the network structure is
initially set up based on the stored modules for infeeds, couplings,
distributors and branch circuits. It is also possible to reuse
stored favorites, such as those processed for previous similar
projects. Suitable components and distribution systems are
then automatically selected from the product database stored in
SIMARIS design based on the selected project-specific parameters
and technical data. This precludes the extra costs so often
incurred in the implementation phase as a result of systems that
have not been correctly coordinated.
Any configuration of electric power distribution is subject to frequent
change and adaptation, not only in the planning phase,
but also in the implementation phase. SIMARIS design makes it
easy to incorporate such changes in the supply concept and to
automatically check their reliability in terms of sound engineering
practice and the currently applicable standards.
SIMARIS design professional, a program version available for a
fee, offers additional useful functions. It can be used to carry out
and also document selectivity analyses, essential for safety
power supply systems. There is also the option of analyzing and
optimizing the energy efficiency of the planned network.
The versatile output variants enable precise documentation of
the project structure and of the calculated data suitable for every
phase of a project.
There is also the option of exporting the project data. This enables
further processing of the planned project in SIMARIS project,
and thus also supports and facilitates system planning.
■ Benefits
• Reduction in processing overhead for projects
• Dimensioning of electrical networks on the basis of real products
according to sound engineering practice and the currently
applicable standards (VDE, IEC)
• Automatic selection of the correct components from medium
voltage through to interfacing of the load from the stored product
database, i.e. no detailed knowledge of products and systems
required
• Open definition of the types of mains operation and switching
states
• Calculation of the short circuit current, load flow, voltage drop
and energy balance
• Incorporation of the required person, short circuit and overload
protection
• Option of factoring in any necessary functional endurance
• Display and dimensioning of cable and busbar trunking systems
for power conveyance and distribution
• High planning reliability coupled with flexibility in the planning
and implementation process
• Tracking changes via change index possible
• Simple adaptation in the case of application changes or expansions
• Option for saving frequently required modules in the favorites
library
• Output of the created network diagram, as well as detailed
parts lists and data lists
• Incorporation of country-specific product portfolios
• Comprehensive documentation of planning results with simple
data transfer (Office, CAD etc.)
■ Application
SIMARIS design is a software tool for the network calculation
and dimensioning of power distribution for non-residential and
industrial buildings. Whether for a shopping center, a hospital or
production facilities - with SIMARIS design you can reduce the
overhead required for the overall planning of power distribution
systems and hence the time spent on the selection and dimensioning
of equipment.
