■
Overview
SIMOTION D Control Units: D410-2, D4x5-2 (4 performance classes)
SIMOTION D is a compact, drive-based version of SIMOTION
based on the SINAMICS S120 drives family.
The SIMOTION D Control Units are available in the following
variants:
•
SIMOTION D410-2 are compact Control Units for single-axis
applications with multi-axis option. The Control Units are
available in variants D410-2 DP and D410-2 DP/PN and are
snapped onto the SINAMICS S120 Power Modules in
blocksize format.
•
SIMOTION D4x5-2 are Control Units for multi-axis applications
in the SINAMICS S120 booksize format and are available in
the following performance variants:
- SIMOTION D425-2 DP and D425-2 DP/PN Control Units
(BASIC performance) for up to 16 axes
- SIMOTION D435-2 DP and D435-2 DP/PN Control Units
(STANDARD Performance) for up to 32 axes
- SIMOTION D445-2 DP/PN Control Unit
(HIGH performance) for up to 64 axes
- SIMOTION D455-2 DP/PN Control Unit
(ULTRA-HIGH performance) for up to 128 axes or
applications with very short control cycles
This fine scalability ensures a quick response to changing
requirements in automation without having to change the
system.
System concept
With SIMOTION D, the PLC, the Motion Control and technology
functions as well as the SINAMICS S120 drive software run on a
shared control hardware. The IEC 61131-3-compliant PLC
integrated in SIMOTION D means that the system is not just
capable of controlling sequences of motions, but the entire
machine can also be controlled with a single compact unit.
Depending on the SIMOTION D platform, HMI devices can be
operated on the PROFINET, Ethernet or PROFIBUS interfaces for
operator control and monitoring. Functions such as remote
maintenance, diagnostics and teleservice can also be used via
these interfaces.

Benefits
•
Cost-effective thanks to the integration of PLC, Motion Control
and technology functions directly in the drive
•
Employs the innovative SINAMICS S120 design
•
Compact design reduces control cabinet size
•
Ideally suited to modular and distributed machine concepts
•
User-friendly operation
•
Variable networking via a wide range of communication
interfaces:
- D410-2 DP, D4x5-2 DP: Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS
DP onboard
- D410-2 DP/PN, D4x5-2 DP/PN: PROFINET IO, Industrial
Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP onboard
•
Powerful thanks to a range of technology functions
•
Very simple engineering, from drive commissioning to open-
loop control and Motion Control applications
•
Easy to service thanks to CompactFlash card, which can be
easily replaced and contains all data (programs, data, drive
parameters)
•
Very fast response because the interfaces between PLC and
Motion Control are no longer required
■
Application
SIMOTION D can be used optimally wherever
•
the SINAMICS S120 drive family is used
•
the Motion Control and PLC functionality are directly executed
in the drive (SINAMICS S120)
•
a compact, space-saving construction is required
•
high performance is required for Motion Control and high-
speed I/O
•
high electromagnetic compatibility and a high resistance to
shock and vibration are required due to harsh ambient
conditions
•
modular machine concepts with high-speed isochronous
coupling are required
The flexible solution for modular machine concepts
SIMOTION D optimally supports the implementation of modular
machine concepts in which single-axis drives and high-
performance multi-axis drives have to be combined:
•
SIMOTION D410-2 (blocksize format) is the most cost-
effective solution for the compact design of drives, ranging
from single units to small-scale multi-axis solutions with
typically 2 to 3 axes (max. 8 axes).
•
SIMOTION D4x5-2 (booksize format) performs the open-loop
and closed-loop control functions for multi-axis groups with up
to 128 axes.
