1.3 1.3 Platform Concept and Totally Integrated Automation
All SINAMICS versions are based on a platform concept. Joint hardware and software
components, as well as standardized tools for design, configuration, and commissioning
tasks ensure high-level integration across all components. SINAMICS handles a wide variety
of drive tasks with no system gaps. The different SINAMICS versions can be easily
combined with each other.
SINAMICS is a part of the Siemens "Totally Integrated Automation" concept. Integrated
SINAMICS systems covering configuration, data storage, and communication at automation
level, ensure low-maintenance solutions with SIMATIC, SIMOTION, and SINUMERIK.
