For all new Siemens Drives

With the tool SIZER, you configure the motors and the new Siemens converters based on
SIZER load calculation (import, input), you define the required components and you initiate the order via
SAP

With the SD configurator, you define the ordering data of the motor with Z options and you
obtain the complete pre-sales documentation. Z-options for the motor are integrated in SIZER.
CA01 / With CA01 you complete your order with additional components and -when working without
SD-Config. SIZER- you initiate your order via the Siemens Mall or SAP.

PATH With this tool you configure motors and MASTERDRIVES converters based on load calculation
Plus and you define the required components. Load duty cycle export to SIZER is possible.
