Siemens SINAMICS DriveSim Basic software simulates, adapts, and optimizes drives and their behaviour

With SINAMICS DriveSim Basic, Siemens presents new software designed for drives and their behavior in machines and plants.

The software allows for easy entry into drive simulation and enables machine and plant manufacturers to accelerate their own development phase. It bridges the gap between logical and mechanical simulation. The application focus is on simulation support of the customer application, i.e., the components that interact with the drive.

The simulation provides answers to drive questions even before a concrete product selection has been made. For the virtual commissioning of the PLC control with known Profidrive telegrams or complex mechanics on the virtual drive shaft, the model provides a reliable representation of the drive system in the required level of detail.

The models in the software seamlessly link to the existing drive documentation and have been validated against real SINAMICS drives using the same test vectors.

The software is available as a standardized Functional Mockup Unit (FMU) model and offers the same FMU file for every SINAMICS drive. For example, SINAMICS S120 and G120 drives including the motor can already be represented.
