At this year’s AUTOMATE, Siemens announced the launch of its enhanced motion control portfolio, featuring SINAMICS servo-drive systems and the new SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 controller, delivering enhanced performance and flexibility for basic automation applications including handling, moving, positioning and processing.

The new solution combines three key innovations:

•    Advanced SINAMICS S200 and S210 servo-drive systems

•    New SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 controller

•    Compatible SIMOTICS servomotors

“This holistic system approach represents a significant leap forward in basic automation capabilities,” said Craig Nelson, product manager, motion control, Siemens Industry, Inc.

•    Key features and benefits include:

•    Enhanced processing power with dedicated communication performance and extended memory

•    Support for up to 31 PROFINET devices with synchronized program execution

•    Integrated motion control technology objects for simplified system configuration

•    Advanced safety features up to SIL3 / PLe and Category 4 certification

•    Near Field Communication (NFC) capability for wireless access to diagnostic and device data

The new portfolio offers scalable solutions with various power options:

•    SINAMICS S210 is available in voltage ranges from 200–400V with power ratings up to 7 kW

•    Ultra-fast current controller response time of 62.5 µs

•    Flexible configuration options for single axes, coordinated axes and simple kinematics

This cost-optimized solution includes comprehensive safety features, wireless diagnostics capabilities, and seamless integration with the Siemens TIA Portal, making it ideal for manufacturers seeking to modernize their automation systems.
