Siemens has added the Sinamics E210 converter and Simotics E-1EE1 servo motors to its extra-low voltage (ELV) drive portfolio. According to the company’s announcement of 2 November 2026, the two products together form a matched drive solution for battery-powered mobile applications such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and driverless transport systems.
Siemens says the new solution aims to reduce development and integration effort, simplify the implementation of safety functions and provide a future-proof basis for mobile applications. The products can be integrated into the TIA Portal engineering environment and Siemens’ Simove modular system.
Sinamics E210: direct connection to 24 V and 48 V batteries
Sinamics E210 is a compact, regenerative converter designed for 24 V and 48 V battery systems. In addition to traction and wheel motors in vehicles, the device can drive other axes such as steering, lifting and auxiliary functions.
According to the announcement, the converter connects directly to the ELV battery, eliminating the need for additional voltage conversion. Sinamics E210 features integrated safety functions, PROFIsafe support and PROFINET IRT communication.
Simotics E-1EE1: safety applications up to SIL 2
The new Simotics E-1EE1 servo motors are offered in shaft heights from 40 to 63 for higher power and torque ranges. The motors feature a 14-bit absolute BiSS-C safety encoder and an internal dual-channel design that supports safety applications up to SIL 2.
Thanks to the electronic nameplate function, Sinamics E210 can read motor data automatically. Siemens reports that a holding brake, various gearbox options and flexible connection options are available for the motors.
Integration effort in mobile systems
Siemens states that offering the converter and motor as a single matched package will reduce integration effort for manufacturers of battery-powered mobile systems. The announcement does not include information on the products’ market launch date or regional sales schedule.
