Safe extra-low voltage operation

Operation in the safety extra-low voltage range from 24 to 48 V reduces risks for personnel and machines while enabling reliable motion control in sensitive applications.

Seamless SIMATIC integration

Fully integrated into Totally Integrated Automation, SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE enables efficient engineering, commissioning and diagnostics using familiar SIMATIC tools.

Flexible system architecture

A modular system of PDC drives, TM Drives, motors and partner components allows scalable solutions — from compact control cabinets to distributed motion concepts.
