Single-axis controller offers easy
integration
The Simotion D410 can be used for single-axis applications such as winders, cross cutters or feeder units, or in synchronised systems such as modular machine concepts.
Siemens Automation and Drives (AandD) has released the Simotion D410 controller for single-axis applications The single-axis controller is particularly suitable for stand-alone machine modules in modular machine concepts

AC drive performs in single-axis applications
With Sinamics S120 AC drive, the Sinamics drives family from Siemens A and D now also encompasses convertors for high-performance single-axis applications.
Ready to run positioners cut costs
Parker Trilogy T1D and T1S I-Force positioners include everything needed for motion except the drive and controller.
By integrating motion control and technology functions as well as PLC and drive control in one controller module, a complete machine module can be automated.
The Simotion D410 single-axis controller augments the Simotion D4x5 series of controllers, which is suitable for use in multiaxis applications.
The Simotion D410 can be used for single-axis applications such as winders, cross cutters or feeder units, or in synchronised systems such as modular machine concepts.
The machine module automated with the D410 motion controller, and thus receives the guide value from a higher-level controller and synchronises its axis to this guide value.
Thanks to the modularisation, the machine modules can be fully tested individually and added or removed during live operation, if required.
The new controller is available not only as the Simotion D410 DP version for operation with Profibus, but also as Simotion D410 PN for connection to Profinet.
As many as four fast cam outputs or three probes can be implemented on the onboard inputs/outputs.
The drive controller supports both servo control for high dynamics and vector control for maximum torque accuracy.
The Simotion D410 motion controller is designed for use with the Sinamics S120 PM340 power modules in the Blocksize design and can be plugged directly onto these.
The power modules combine the function of feeding with the motor power supply in one device.
