1.1 System overview

Overview

In SIMOTION D, the SIMOTION functionality is integrated directly in the closed-loop control
module of the SINAMICS S120 drive system.
SIMOTION D410 is a module drive system for single axes, which solves demanding drive
tasks for a very wide range of industrial applications. SIMOTION D410 supplements D425,
D435 and D445, the three power levels for multi-axis connections.
SIMOTION D is an integral part of the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept. TIA
features standardized data management, configuration and communication over all products
and systems. Thus, an extensive toolbox of automation modules is also available for
SIMOTION D410.

Application

Combining a power module with SIMOTION D410 forms a compact single drive for machine
and plant engineering.
Applications include:
● Machine concepts with central drive (e.g., pressing, printing and packaging machines, . .
.)
● Modular machine concepts where the machine modules broken down to single axes
● Single drives with high accuracy, stability and concentricity requirements (compared with
standard drives) in machine and industrial plant engineering
● Single drives for transport tasks (conveying, raising, lowering)
● Single drives with integrated PLC functionality and expanded motion control functionality
such as output cam or cams
● Drives without power recovery (wire drawing, extruding)
● Drive connections with high availability requirements (incoming supply failure may not
cause all axes to fail)

Product variants

SIMOTION D410 comes in two variants:
● SIMOTION D410 DP with PROFIBUS DP interface.
● SIMOTION D410 PN with PROFINET interface.
