Why have we developed the DSD?
Drive systems become more and more powerful and have to be optimally adapted to mechatronic
requirements. The cost pressure in the field of engineering increases permanently. At the same
time, however, less time is available for planning, dimensioning, and selecting the drive system.
These high market requirements have motivated us to develop an efficient software which can car-
ry out complex calculations of drive physics. The program is based on complex product knowledge
and can be easily used by every engineer. With the DSD you can solve your drive task professionally
in a few minutes and document it consistently. Like this, others are able to follow your calculations
anytime, too. Moreover, the DSD serves to optimise the application and the drive system regarding
energy efficiency.
Who has developed the DSD?
The program was developed by drive specialists and computer scientists in cooperation with expe-
rienced Lenze sales staff. The cooperation of this interdisciplinary development team makes it pos-
sible to carry out practically relevant dimensioning processes with the DSD.
Who has worked with the DSD so far?
Today, Lenze sales staff is working with DSD worldwide. Already since 2002 we have been gaining
experience with this kind of drive dimensioning program. On the basis of this experience the DSD
was advanced and optimised. Now we want to provide the program to a broad range of customers.
What is dimensioned with the DSD and what isn't?
A dimensioning includes the drive components: gearbox, motor, inverter, encoder on the motor
side, electrical brake units, regenerative power supply modules, and electromechanical brakes.
Further accessories as e. g. mains filters, automation modules, drive software etc. are not yet con-
figured by the DSD at present and can for example be determined via the electronic catalogue Drive
Solution Catalogue (DSC).
