SIZER configuration tool производства Siemens

The following drives and controls can be engineered in a user-friendly fashion using the SIZER configuration tool:

• SINAMICS Low Voltage, MICROMASTER 4, DYNAVERT T, SIMATIC ET 200S FC and SIMATIC ET 200pro FC drive systems
• Motor starters for network configuring
• SINUMERIK CNC control
• SIMOTION Motion Control System
• SIMATIC Technology

It provides support when setting up the technologies involved in the hardware and firmware components required for a drive task. SIZER supports the complete configuration of the drive system, from simple individual drives to complex multi-axis applications.

SIZER supports all of the configuring steps in a workflow:

• Configuring the power supply
• Designing the motor and gearbox, including calculation of mechanical transmission elements
• Configuring the drive components
• Compiling the required accessories
• Selecting the line-side and motor-side power options, e.g. cables, filters, and reactors

When SIZER was being designed, particular importance was placed on a high degree of usability and a universal, function-based approach to the drive application. The extensive user guidance makes using the tool easy. Status information keeps you continually informed about the progress of the configuration process.

The drive configuration is saved in a project. In the project, the components and functions used are displayed in a hierarchical tree structure.

The project view permits the configuration of drive systems and the copying/inserting/modifying of drives already configured.

The configuration process produces the following results:

• A parts list of the required components (export to Excel, use of the Excel data sheet for import to SAP)
• Technical specifications of the system
• Characteristic curves
• Comments on system reactions
• Mounting arrangement of drive and control components and dimension drawings of motors

These results are displayed in a results tree and can be reused for documentation purposes.

Technological online help is available:

• Detailed technical data
• Information about the drive systems and their components
• Decision-making criteria for the selection of components
• Online help in German, English, French, Italian, Chinese and Japanese
