Integrated drive control
The drive control functions integrated in a SIMOTION D410-2 are
based on the drive control of a SINAMICS S120 CU310-2
(firmware version V4.x), although there is a slight difference in
functionality. For example, the SIMOTION D410-2 does not have
a basic positioner function (EPOS), as this is already covered by
SIMOTION technology functions.
For more information, refer to the documentation for SIMOTION
and SINAMICS.
Licensing notes
SIMOTION D410-2 has an integrated drive control for either a
servo, a vector or a
V/f
axis and is therefore ideal for single-axis
applications.
One real axis can be used without license on the Control Unit.
Drive axes and virtual axes never require a license.
SIMOTION D410-2 can be extended with additional SINAMICS
S110/S120 Control Units (e.g. CU305) and so can also be used
for smaller multi-axis applications (e.g. with 2 - 3 axes). A license
is required for any additional axes. Where a license is required
for a POS axis, the POS single-axis license is the ideal solution.
It is better to use the MultiAxes Package D410-2 in the case of
GEAR/CAM or more than one POS license.
The axis license with the highest functionality is covered by the
inclusive license (a real axis).
The functionality has the following granularity:
CAM > GEAR > POS.
Example:
Application with 2 real axes: 1 POS, 1 CAM.
Only a POS license needs to be purchased because the higher-
order CAM license is already included.
Licenses are also required for runtime functions subject to
licensing, such as SIMOTION IT Virtual Machine. These can be
pre-installed on the CompactFlash card (CF card) or ordered
separately.
For more information, refer to section Ordering of licenses for
runtime software.
SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering tool
With the SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering tool, you can
easily configure, for example, the SINAMICS S110 and S120
drive families including SIMOTION. This tool supports you with
the engineering of components for a Motion Control task. You
can also determine the possible number of axes and the
resulting utilization with SIZER for Siemens Drives in accordance
with your performance requirements.
For more information about SIZER for Siemens Drives, refer to
section Lifecycle Services.
