Configuration
3.1 Engineering software
The NCSD Configurator provides information about:
• Design and configuration of the SINUMERIK components
• Design and configuration of the SIMODRIVE group
• Motor data and options for core motor types
• The DC link power and capacitance
• Evaluation points (electronic and gating points)
• Calculating the power loss for cabinet components
Software update service, repair service contract, documentation and service/maintenance
contracts for the individual components are also implemented in the NCSD Configurator.
You can obtain the NCSD Configurator as follows:
• Together with the interactive CA 01 Catalog, or
• Continually updated on the Internet under:

3.1.2 PATH Plus engineering tool
Using the PATH Plus engineering program, three-phase variable-frequency drives can be
simply and quickly engineered for the SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Vector Control and
Motion Control series.
The program is a powerful engineering tool that supports the user in all of the engineering
steps - from the supply to the motor.
A menu-prompted program helps you select and dimension frequency converters, system
components and the required motor for a particular drive application. Information and
instructions that are automatically displayed guarantee error-free design and planning.
Entry level personnel are also supported in understanding how to use the program using a
comprehensive help system. PATH Plus navigates and guides the design engineer to
achieve reliable, reproducible and cost-effective drive engineering. It starts from the
mechanical requirements of the driven machine and the drive application itself using a
procedure of dialogs that are logical and simple to handle. The technical data of the selected
frequency converters and motors, the selected system components and the necessary
accessories are listed in detail.
PATH Plus allows drive to be engineered starting from a load characteristic or from a load
duty cycle and allows applications such as the following to be engineered:
• Traversing and hoisting gears
• Swiveling gears
• Spindle drive
• Axial winders and
• Crank drives.
PATH Plus includes a user-friendly tool to graphically display the following characteristics:
• Torque, speed, power, current, velocity and acceleration over time, and
• Torque with respect to speed.
