Overview
SINAMICS selection guide – typical applications
Using the SINAMICS selection guide
The varying range of demands on modern variable frequency
drives requires a large number of different types. Selecting the
optimum drive has become a significantly more complex pro-
cess. The application matrix shown simplifies this selection pro-
cess considerably, by suggesting the ideal SINAMICS drive for
examples of typical applications and requirements.
•
The relevant type of use can be found on the vertical axis
(supply, movement, processing or machining).
•
What type of movement should be realized with what level of
quality (basic, medium, high)? Find this using the relevant
fields on the horizontal axis.
To make orientation easier, an example selection of typical appli-
cations is shown.
