2.2 System components
Central components
SIMOTION D4x5-2 communicates with automation components via the following interfaces:
● PROFIBUS DP
● Ethernet
● PROFINET IO
● DRIVE‑CLiQ (DRIVE Component Link with IQ)
SIMOTION D features a SINAMICS Integrated drive element. The communication with the
SINAMICS Integrated is performed via PROFIBUS mechanisms (DP Integrated), i.e. the
communication is handled, for example, via PROFIdrive telegrams.
Shorter cycle times and greater numbers of addresses for each node are achieved with the
"DP Integrated" compared to the "external PROFIBUS DP".
The most important components of the system and their functions are shown below.

Component Function
SIMOTION D4x5‑2
controller
... is the central motion control module.
This module contains the programmable SIMOTION runtime for the
SIMOTION D4x5‑2 and the SINAMICS S120 drive software.
You can use the integrated high-speed digital I/Os as:
●
User-addressable process I/Os
● Homing inputs
● Inputs for measuring inputs
● Outputs for fast output cams
The measuring sockets can output any analog signals.
System software The basic functionality of SIMOTION D is supplied on a CompactFlash
card containing the following:
●
SIMOTION runtime (kernel)
● Drive software of SINAMICS S120 - implements all drive functions
Power supply ... provides the electronics power supply for SIMOTION D, e.g. via the
SITOP power supply.
