Machine builders and plant operators face the challenge of improving productivity, energy efficiency, cybersecurity and flexibility simultaneously. At the same time, they must shorten development times, manage product variants and reduce the effort required for engineering, commissioning and operation. The next generation of Sinamics G drives is designed to address these requirements: Siemens introduces a unified drive portfolio for continuous-motion applications with it. The new platform covers a range of power and application requirements while offering a consistent approach to engineering and operation.
CRA-ready
The new generation is built around three core principles: Security by Design, integrated safety functions and digitalization for greater transparency and intelligent maintenance management.
With its scalable and seamless drive platform, Siemens enables machine builders to standardize automation solutions more easily while preparing for future requirements. Cybersecurity has been an integral part of the development from the outset. All new generation drives will be made EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)-ready and provide integrated cybersecurity capabilities up to Security Level Capability 2 (SL-C 2) as defined in IEC 62443-4-2.
Shorter time-to-market
Integrated safety functions up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) provide a high level of functional safety for the protection of people, machines and plants. At the same time, the new generation combines digital integration with ease of use. Seamless integration into the TIA Portal, an integrated web server and a unified engineering and operating concept simplify selection, engineering, commissioning, diagnostics and service. Users benefit from shorter engineering times, reduced training requirements and faster standardization across different machine platforms. Through the Ethernet-based OPC UA communication standard, drive and operational data can be utilized efficiently for asset and energy management, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance applications.
For different application needs
With the new Sinamics G200, G210C, G210 and G210X, Siemens completes the next-generation Sinamics G portfolio around the high-end Sinamics G220, introduced in 2023. The G200 targets general industrial applications, the G210C is optimized for compact machines, the G210 serves a wide range of motion and processing tasks, and the G210X adds specialized functions for pumps, fans, compressors and infrastructure applications. Together, they provide a unified, scalable drive portfolio based on a common technology platform.
