SINAMICS sets itself apart as a result of its seamless and
integrated engineering. Once you know one converter,
then in principle you know them all. This makes it easier
for you, especially when it comes to implementing com-
plex plants and systems with several drives – or sub-
sequently expanding them. SIZER is available to help
engineer all of the drives in the same standard fashion.
SIZER engineering software
The SIZER engineering software supports you when engi-
neering a complete drive system. Not only this, it also
allows you to handle single-motor drives up to complex
multi-axis drives. The workflow wizard navigates you intui-
tively and in a user-friendly manner through the individual
engineering phases, step by step.
SIZER supports you when
• defining the mechanical system
• dimensioning the drive, motor and gearbox
• configuring additional system components
• configuring the open-loop/closed-loop control

Engineering with SIZER
SIZER supplies you with
• engineering results: characteristics, technical data,
layout drawings and dimension drawings
• calculating the load-dependent energy demand
• calculating the performance
• calculating the line harmonics
• part lists with the associated ordering data
In addition, using an integrated EDP interface,
SIZER allows a parts list to be exported to an
ordering system (e.g. SAP).
Enhanced engineering reliability
A guided tour makes it easier for first-time users to
get to know SIZER. The help functions integrated in
SIZER support you during the complete engineering
phase and provide comprehensive physical and
technical background knowledge. All of this prevents
possible errors when combining components – includ-
ing any incorrect orders that may result.
In fact, with the latest version of SIZER, you can even
optimize your energy balance. In addition to providing
a load-dependent energy usage calculation, SIZER also
includes a drive conversion function, which automati-
cally selects the drive versions with the most favorable
energy efficiency.
