No.
Hardware components
Function
1.
SIMATIC controller
Controller and control of the drive system and
therefore of the motor of the motion control
application.
2.
SINAMICS drive system
Controlling the motor. Providing the necessary
motor current to move the connected motor.
Position decoding of the motor axis (incremental
or absolute).
3.
SIMOTICS motor
Executing the desired rotation.
The motor forms the interface to the mechanical
components of the motion control application.
