3.2Configuring 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
