3.2 Configuring the Drive with the Software SIZER
The drive family SINAMICS and MICROMASTER 4 are conveniently configured with the PC tool
SIZER. It provides support when configuring the hardware and firmware components needed for a
drive task. SIZER includes the configuration of the entire drive system so that you can handle basic
single drives as well as complex multi-axis applications.
SIZER supports all configuring steps in a guided work sequence:
• Selection of system supply
• Motor design as the result of load configuring
• Calculation of the work components
• Assembling the required accessories
• Selection of line-side and motor-side power options
The drive configuration is stored in a project. In the project, the components and functions used are
represented in a tree structure, according to their assignment. The project view allows for
configuring the drive systems as well as for copying, inserting, modifying drives that are already
configured.
The results of a configuration are:
• List of components required
• Technical data
• Characteristic curves
• Information regarding system perturbations
• Location diagram and dimensioned diagrams
These results are displayed in a result tree, and can be used also for documentation purposes.
To support the user, technological Online Help is available, providing the following:
• Detailed technical data
• Information about the drive systems and their components
• Decision criteria for selecting components
