Siemens Launches Next-Generation Motion Control System for Basic Automation Applications

At this year’s AUTOMATE, Siemens is announcing the launch of its enhanced motion control portfolio, featuring SINAMICS servo-drive systems and the new SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 controller, delivering unprecedented performance and flexibility for basic automation applications including handling, moving, positioning and processing.

The new solution combines three key innovations:

  • Advanced SINAMICS S200 and S210 servo-drive systems
  • New SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 controller
  • Compatible SIMOTICS servomotors

“This holistic system approach represents a significant leap forward in basic automation capabilities,” said Craig Nelson, Product Manager, Motion Control, Siemens Industry, Inc.

Key features and benefits include:

  • Enhanced processing power with dedicated communication performance and extended memory
  • Support for up to 31 PROFINET devices with synchronized program execution
  • Integrated motion control technology objects for simplified system configuration
  • Advanced safety features up to SIL3 / PLe and Category 4 certification
  • Near Field Communication (NFC) capability for wireless access to diagnostic and device data

The new portfolio offers scalable solutions with various power options:

  • SINAMICS S210 is available in voltage ranges from 200–400V with power ratings up to 7 kW
  • Ultra-fast current controller response time of 62.5 µs
  • Flexible configuration options for single axes, coordinated axes and simple kinematics

This cost-optimized solution includes comprehensive safety features, wireless diagnostics capabilities, and seamless integration with the Siemens TIA Portal, making it ideal for manufacturers seeking to modernize their automation systems.
