Optimization of drive systems

It comprises the two areas of Drivetrain Design (dimensioning and simulation) and Drivetrain Health (connectivity and optimization). Drivetrain Design contains engineering and simulation tools for efficient dimensioning, validation, testing, virtual commissioning and optimization of drivetrains in the design phase of a machine or system. Drivetrain Health offers hardware and software-based sensor and connectivity solutions for data acquisition as well as coordinated analysis software tools. They provide insights into the behavior of the drivetrain and enable powerful condition monitoring. Siemens is thus demonstrating how customers can combine the real and digital worlds of drive technology to achieve efficiency and sustainability along the entire drive train value chain.

In the field of simulation and virtual commissioning, Siemens is launching Drivesim Engineer, the successor to Drivesim Advanced. Drivesim Engineer makes it possible to create a digital twin of the drive in a virtual environment with all the parameters and configurations that correspond to the real drive.

In addition to the new Sinamicx S210 series, the new Sinamics G220 frequency inverters are also available in the tool. The digital twin technology and intuitive user interface enable users to simulate, commission and optimize the behaviour of drive systems in a virtual environment before they are installed in the real world.

Through integration with TIA Portal (Startdrive), Drivesim Engineer is a seamless part of (virtual) commissioning and eliminates the need to learn additional tools. Users benefit from faster commissioning times, improved accuracy in detecting and resolving potential problems with drive systems and real-time insights and analysis to improve the overall performance of drive systems.
