SINAMICS G Series (General Purpose / VFD): The G120C and G120 are Siemens' workhorse VFD platforms for pump, fan, conveyor, and general motor control applications. Compact, energy-efficient, and seamlessly integrated with SIMATIC controllers via PROFINET.
SINAMICS S Series (Servo): The scalable servo portfolio includes the S200 (standard servo, up to 7kW, 125µs current controller, SIL3/PLe safety), S210 (midrange, one-cable connection, 62.5µs controller, PROFIsafe), and S120 (multi-axis, up to 5.7MW, fully modular). All three are configured via TIA Portal using Startdrive.
SIMOTICS Motors
SIMOTICS servo and standard motors pair directly with SINAMICS drives across the full power range. The S-1FL2, S-1FK2, S-1FT2, and S-1FS2 servo motor families offer absolute encoders up to 26-bit resolution, 300% overload capacity, IP64–IP67 protection, and optional hygienic stainless steel variants for food and pharmaceutical applications.
Circuit Protection and Switchgear
Siemens circuit breakers, transfer switches, and monitoring devices protect electrical distribution systems and integrate with TIA Portal and the SIMATIC controller environment for centralized energy management.
SIRIUS Motor Controls
SIRIUS contactors, overload relays, soft starters, and motor management systems complete the motor control picture, from simple switching to fully networked motor management with IO-Link diagnostics.
