SIMOTION system overview
The automation topology is defined in the first engineering steps. The hardware and network
configuration is created by parameterizing the required components and networks.

SIMOTION hardware platforms
To meet the complex requirements of machine construction, SIMOTION offers three hardware
variants with different performance, packaging formats and expandability options. The basic
system characteristics, like the engineering, are identical.
SIMOTION D (Drive-based)
SIMOTION D is a compact, drive-based version of SIMOTION based on the SINAMICS S120
drives family. For SIMOTION D, the SIMOTION runtime environment and the SINAMICS drive
software run concurrently on the controller hardware in the SINAMICS S120 packaging format.
SIMOTION P (PC-based)
SIMOTION P is a PC-based, open motion control system from SIMOTION. Control, motion
control, and HMI functions are executed together with standard PC applications on the
SIMOTION P hardware platform.
