SIMOTION D410-2
SIMOTION D410-2 is a compact Control Unit for single-axis applications.
The Control Unit is snapped directly on to the SINAMICS Power Module in blocksize format
and has an integrated drive control for either one servo, one vector or one V/f axis.
SIMOTION D410-2 can be extended with additional SINAMICS S110/S120 control units (e.g. CU310‑2) and so can also be used for smaller multi-axis applications (e.g. with 2 – 3 axes).
SIMOTION D410-2 communicates with the components of the automation landscape via the following interfaces:
- PROFIBUS DP (D410-2 DP and D410-2 DP/PN)
- PROFINET IO (D410-2 DP/PN only)
- Ethernet
- DRIVE-CLiQ (DRIVE Component Link with IQ)
- Power Module interface (PM-IF)
SIMOTION D features a SINAMICS Integrated drive element. Communication with the
SINAMICS Integrated is via PROFIBUS mechanisms (DP Integrated), via PROFIdrive telegrams.
SIMOTION D410-2 Application:
- Machine concepts with central drive (e.g. presses, printing and packaging machines, etc.)
- Modular machine concepts where the machine modules were broken down into 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 cams 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)
- Small multi-axis groupings (typically 2 to 3 axes) based on SINAMICS S110/120 blocksize.

SIMOTION D4x5-2
SIMOTION D4x5-2 is a driving-based control unit for multi-axis systems. The differences among various specifications mainly lie in the performance of PLC and motion control, memory expansion and interfaces.
