SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering tool
■
Overview
The following drives and controls can be engineered in a user-
friendly way using the SIZER for Siemens Drives engineering
tool:
•
SIMOTICS low-voltage motors, including servo geared motors
•
SINAMICS low-voltage drive systems
•
Motor starters
•
SINUMERIK CNC
•
SIMOTION Motion Control system
•
SIMATIC Technology
It provides support when selecting the technologies involved in
the hardware and firmware components required for a drive
task. SIZER for Siemens Drives supports the complete configu-
ration of the drive system, from basic single drives to demanding
multi-axis applications.
SIZER for Siemens Drives supports all of the configuring steps in
one workflow:
•
Configuring the power supply
•
Designing the motor and gearbox, including calculation of
mechanical transmission elements
•
Configuring the drive components
•
Compiling the required accessories
•
Selecting the line-side and motor-side power options, e.g.
cables, filters, and reactors
When SIZER for Siemens Drives was being designed, particular
importance was placed on a high degree of usability and a
universal, function-based approach to the drive application.
The extensive user guidance makes using the tool easy. Status
information keeps you continually informed about the progress
of the configuration process.
The SIZER for Siemens Drives user interface is available in
English, French, German and Italian.
The drive configuration is saved in a project. In the project, the
components and functions used are displayed in a hierarchical
tree structure.
The project view permits the configuration of drive systems and
the copying/inserting/modifying of drives already configured.
The configuration process produces the following results:
•
A parts list of the required components (export to Excel, use
of the Excel data sheet for import to SAP)
•
Technical specifications of the system
•
Characteristic curves
•
Comments on system reactions
•
Mounting arrangement of drive and control components and
dimension drawings of motors
•
Energy requirements of the configured application
These results are displayed in a results tree and can be reused
for documentation purposes.
Technological online help is available:
•
Detailed technical specifications
•
Information about the drive systems and their components
•
Decision-making criteria for the selection of components
•
Online help in English, French, German, Italian, Chinese and
Japanese
