Siemens mobile drive platform

Siemens is expanding its drive portfolio for extra-low-voltage (ELV) applications with the introduction of the Sinamics E210 converter and the Simotics E-1EE1 servomotors. The drive solution has been specifically developed to meet the requirements of battery-powered mobile systems, particularly AGVs, AMRs and driverless transport systems. Its aim is to provide a powerful, compact and fully integrated drive solution that helps manufacturers and system integrators reduce development effort and simplify the implementation of safety concepts.

The Sinamics E210 has been specifically designed for battery-powered 24 V and 48 V applications. As a compact regenerative converter, it enables safe control of traction and wheel drives as well as other motion axes, including steering, lifting and auxiliary axes. Direct connection to ELV battery systems eliminates the need for additional voltage conversion, simplifying system architecture and improving energy efficiency. Integrated safety functions, PROFIsafe support, Profinet IRT communication, and seamless integration into TIA Portal and Simove enable rapid implementation in modern vehicle designs.

The Simotics E-1EE1 motors are designed for 24 V and 48 V systems and are optimally matched to the Sinamics E210 to make them suitable for dynamic mobile applications. An absolute 14-bit BiSS-C safety encoder and the internal dual-channel design support safety-related applications up to SIL 2. The electronic nameplate enables the Sinamics E210 to automatically read relevant motor data, simplifying parameterisation and commissioning. Optional holding brakes, various gearbox options, and flexible connection technology further allow adaptation to a wide range of vehicle and machine concepts.
