Siemens is innovating the mature Sinamics S210 servo drive system, adopting a new hardware architecture and new V6 software to expand the application scope of the system. This servo drive system is particularly suitable for highly dynamic applications in the power range between 50 W and 7 kW: for example, machines for packaging, pick-up applications and digital printing.

To make it even easier to control individual axes in the future, the new generation of Sinamics S210 is equipped with a second encoder interface and offers the option of connecting a direct measuring system to compensate for mechanical looseness and tolerances. This significantly improves accuracy, making more applications possible. With its basic and extended safety integration functions, the new Sinamics S210 ensures full implementation of the safety concept in the machine and meets the requirements of SIL3 (EN 61508) and PL e (EN ISO 13849-1). Another new feature of the system is the security integration function, which ensures higher security of industrial systems through user management and access protection. Also new: In addition to Profinet IRT, Sinamics S210 now also offers communication via EtherNet/IP. This means that third-party controllers can also be connected to the servo system, which significantly increases the range of applications, especially in the US market. With the new 3C3 (H₂Sulfur and sulfur₂) coating, the new generation of Sinamics S210 is extremely strong and can resist the effects of harsh environments such as sulfur gases. This means that servo systems also ensure high system availability and productivity under difficult production conditions: for example in the tire industry. The EPOS single positioner is now also available as a technical feature of the Sinamics S210. With this function module, high-precision motion control positioning tasks can be implemented quickly and easily in the frequency converter, since the positioning tasks can be calculated directly in the drive. This reduces the computing power of the controller, which can calculate more complex tasks or a larger number of drive axes.

The new generation of Sinamics S210 also supports the simulation of motion control applications. Using the DriveSim Advanced simulation software, it is now also possible to create a digital twin of the Sinamics S210 in the TIA Portal. This can be used to virtually commission the drive system in advance and perform engineering tasks. As a result, process requirements in the drive system can be ensured cost-effectively. In addition, digital twins provide the opportunity to create virtual training courses and demonstrations, and to optimize real machines by eliminating problems in drive systems simulated using digital twins. A proven feature of the Sinamics S210 is the integrated web server, which has been redesigned to support the new web server platform and the operating concept of the new generation of Sinamics frequency converters: eg Sinamics S200 and Sinamics G220. The web server supports efficient debugging, rapid diagnosis and maintenance through various devices such as tablets and PCs.
