This product portfolio from Siemens is designed to integrate perfectly into existing and future automation environments, making it a versatile DC drive. SINAMICS DCM is available in four flexible and modular design offerings, including Base Drives, Base Drive Packages (auxiliary components kits), Control Modules, and DC Converters. This DC drive platform accommodates all industrial applications from 3 to 40,000 hp (2.2 kW to 30 MW). The SINAMICS DCM family is equipped with all the tools necessary to fulfill any application, and its inherent scalable and modular design easily accommodates for future expansion.

Product Usage Instructions

If you are in the market for a new DC drive, an existing Siemens customer of legacy, discontinued DC drives, or the owner of another manufacturer’s DC drive, you can avoid unplanned downtime in production by having a modernization and repair plan in place and a drive platform in mind to retrofit your DC drives. To get started with your DC drive retrofit, you can visit the Sales and Distributor Locator site, contact your local Siemens Sales office, visit the Solution Partner Finder site or find us on the web. The SINAMICS DCM family delivers cost-effective options to replace or retrofit obsolete DC drives and discontinued SIMOREG DC drives (6RA70, 6RA24, 6RA23, 6RA22, 6RA21) while minimizing downtimes by keeping expensive DC motors and their mechanical systems and cabling in place. To ensure maximum production, SINAMICS DCM provides reliability and robustness with the highest degree of reliability reflecting state-of-the-art drive technology. It is backed by a 3-year extended warranty exclusive to the US market. With the SINAMICS DCM, you can purchase only what your applications require and have peace of mind, knowing that the drive’s inherent scalable, modular design easily accommodates future expansion. One DC drive platform fulfills every application, reduces spare parts, simplifies training, and comes with one configuration software package. Siemens has the resources and channel partners to assist you in protecting and maximizing your facility’s production, whether your application requires a SINAMICS DCM DC Converter, Base Drive, DC Converter + Base Drive Package (auxiliary component kit), Control Module, or a Custom Enclosed DC drive via a Siemens Solution Partner. Don’t risk downtime and loss in production. Invest in the SINAMICS DCM DC drive system technology today and tomorrow, knowing that Siemens continues to invest and innovate in this field.
Customers around the globe have been using DC drives from Siemens for decades — and for good reason: years of experience, extensive and specific expertise, and continual development guarantee drive solutions with the highest degree of reliability reflecting state-of-the-art drive technology.
Whether you’re an end-user in the market for a new DC drive, an existing Siemens customer of legacy, discontinued DC drives, or the owner of another manufacturer’s DC drive, you can avoid unplanned downtime in production by having a modernization and repair plan in place and a drive platform in mind to retrofit your DC drives.SINAMICS DCM sets itself apart as the scalable and modular Siemens DC drive platform with all the tools necessary to fulfill any application, whether basic or sophisticated and demanding. This product portfolio delivers cost-effective options to replace or retrofit obsolete DC drives and discontinued SIMOREG DC drives (6RA70, 6RA24, 6RA23, 6RA22, 6RA21) and minimize downtimes by keeping expensive DC motors and their mechanical systems and cabling in place. Features of the SINAMICS DCM family include:

PROFIBUS and USS (standard); PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and standard Ethernet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP (optional)
