Next-Generation Motion-Control System for Basic Automation Applications

At Automate 2025, Siemens launched its enhanced motion-control portfolio, featuring Sinamics servo-drive systems and the new Simatic S7-1200 G2 controller, for basic automation applications including handling, moving, positioning and processing.

The portfolio combines advanced Sinamics S200 and S210 servo-drive systems; the new Simatic S7-1200 G2 controller; and compatible Simotics servo motors. The S210 is available in voltages from 200 to 400 V with power ratings to 7 kW, and the portfolio provides rapid current controller response time of 62.5 msec. Flexible configuration options are available for single axes, coordinated axes and simple kinematics.

Key features and benefits include enhanced processing power with dedicated communication performance and extended memory; support for as many as 31 Profinet devices with synchronized program execution; integrated motion-control technology objects for simplified system configuration; advanced safety features with ratings to SIL3 / PLe and Category 4 certification; and near-field communication capability for wireless access to diagnostic and device data.

This cost-optimized portfolio 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.
