Featuring interchangeable architecture, SINAMICS[R] G and S series scalable ac drives let users select, start up, and configure appropriate drive for any application, at any power range from 120 W to 1+ MW using same software for every drive. Models in G series offer power from 1/6-1,100 hp for stand-alone applications. For applications requiring coordinated drives with servo functions, models in S series offer max power from 125-1,500 hp.

New comprehensive drives line creates consolidated approach to drive management

ATLANTA (March 7, 2005) - Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc., adds another checkmark to its innovation scorecard with the unveiling of SINAMICS[R], the first family of AC drives that operates on one, standard platform.

This revolutionary technology makes it easy for Siemens customers to select, start up and configure the right drive for any application at any power range (120W to more than 1MW), using the same software for every drive in the family. As a result, manufacturers can streamline simple and complex multi-drive manufacturing operations, giving them new ways to push cost out of their processes and stay more competitive.

"With SINAMICS, Siemens has made a tremendous investment in the next generation of drives technology," said Aubert Martin, president of Siemens Energy & Automation. "We've spent a significant amount of time and resources over the past several years researching and developing SINAMICS, which builds upon our time-tested expertise from Siemens worldwide and defines our commitment to bringing the latest innovations to U.S. businesses.

"SINAMICS incorporates best-in-class engineering, tools and products to give manufacturers more ease of use, options and flexibility to keep them competitive at home and abroad."

SINAMICS modular and scalable industrial AC drives feature an interchangeable architecture, which simplifies application startups and the integration of new drives into new and existing systems.

Common engineering tools available exclusively from Siemens, SIZER and STARTER, are designed to easily select and configure any drive solution - from the most basic operation to complex motion and servo control functions. The user-friendly programs are applicable to every drive in the SINAMICS line.

"The engineering is unified and seamless throughout, making SINAMICS the choice for any power range, functionality and application," said Martin.
