Typical applications include:
● Compact multiple-axis machines
● High-performance applications with short machine cycles
● Compact machines
– Including the complete machine control in the drive
– With extensive connection possibilities for communication, HMI and I/O
● Distributed drive concepts
– Applications with many axes
– Synchronization of several SIMOTION D Control Units using distributed synchronous
operation
Versions
The Control Units are available in the versions SIMOTION D425-2 (BASIC performance),
SIMOTION D435-2 (STANDARD performance), SIMOTION D445‑2 DP/PN (HIGH
performance) and SIMOTION D455‑2 DP/PN (ULTRA-HIGH performance). The versions differ
in their PLC performance and in their motion control performance. The main distinguishing
features are:

The Control Units feature PLC and motion control performance (open-loop control and motion
control) for up to 16, 32, 64 or 128 axes, as required.
The integrated drive computing performance of the Control Units allows up to 6 servo, 6 vector
or 12
V/f axes on each D4x5‑2 Control Unit (drive control based on CU320-2, firmware version
≥ V4.x).
The drive control supports servo control (for a highly dynamic response), vector control (for
maximum torque accuracy) and
V/f control.
SIMOTION D435-2 DP/PN and D455-2 DP/PN are also available as SIPLUS version for use
under extremely harsh environmental conditions, e.g. in toxic atmospheres (for details refer to
technical specifications). As BasedOn products, the SIPLUS versions have the same
functionality as the standard modules and are configured in the same way.
