SINAMICS DCM: Scalable DC Drive System

Siemens DC drives have been trusted globally for decades, offering extensive expertise and continuous development for reliable, state-of-the-art drive technology.

Whether you are an end-user seeking a new DC drive, a current Siemens customer with legacy or discontinued DC drives, or own a DC drive from another manufacturer, you can avoid unplanned downtime. Siemens offers modernization and repair plans, along with a robust drive platform for retrofitting your existing DC drives.

The SINAMICS DCM platform is scalable and modular, providing all necessary tools for any application, from basic to sophisticated and demanding.

Product Portfolio Features:

Cost-effective options to replace or retrofit obsolete DC drives and discontinued SIMOREG DC drives (6RA70, 6RA24, 6RA23, 6RA22, 6RA21).
Minimizes downtime by utilizing existing DC motors, mechanical systems, and cabling.
Supports PROFIBUS and USS (standard); PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and standard Ethernet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP (optional).
Drive Control Chart (DCC) for scalable integrated intelligence, graphical configuration, and online visualization.
Expandable I/O via standardized SINAMICS modules.
Single-phase connection is possible for units ≤ 125 A.
Optional coated printed circuit boards and nickel-plated copper busbars.
Wide temperature range for operation in any environment.

The SINAMICS DCM's scalable, modular design accommodates future expansion, providing peace of mind.

Siemens offers resources and channel partners to assist with your facility's production needs. This includes SINAMICS DCM DC Converters, Base Drives, DC Converter + Base Drive Packages, Control Modules, or Custom Enclosed DC drives through Siemens Solution Partners.
