DeviceNet
Seamless Drive Integration With Legacy Systems
The most common point of failure on existing Remote IO, DeviceNet and
EtherNet/ IP networks are the drives. As a leading automation supplier,
Siemens offers you innovative solutions that make migrating to newer drive
technology easy.

Replacing drives on DeviceNet®
Drive replacements on DeviceNet systems can present maintenance personnel with an array of challenges and frustration. Typically, multiple software packages, code modifications, and firmware revisions need to be managed to make these systems work correctly.
Siemens has developed a solution that will make replacing a failed drive on DeviceNet extremely easy. Through relationships with Hilscher NA, Siemens has developed a simple solution to easily replace failed AB drives on DeviceNet with no modifications to the PLC or DeviceNet code and configuration. Modules come pre-programmed and are ready for connection to the SINAMICS drives family.
Hilscher communication modules, combined with embedded CLI (command line interface) capability in the SINAMICS IOP-2 interface module, make the SINAMICS drive mirror the capability and network configuration of the replacement drives.
Your Benefits Include:
- No modifications to existing PLC code or network configuration
- Minimal engineering assistance
- Re-usable assets
- Removal of high-risk products
- Low-cost with readily available products
- Pre-developed .CLI files that mimic AB PowerFlex drives
- Pre-programmed DeviceNet communication modules from Hilscher
- Saves time and eliminates the need for legacy PLC and network expertise
- No network configuration
