Always download software directly from the official Siemens website. Downloading industrial configuration tools from third-party file-hosting sites or forums poses a significant security risk. Modified versions of parameterization software could contain malware that compromises your industrial network or causes physical damage to your drive equipment.
Siemens no longer hosts SIMOCOM U on its public global support site for new downloads. However, you can still obtain it through:
Note: You may need an active "Service & Support" contract to unlock download access.
Note: Some versions are only accessible to customers with a valid service contract due to export restrictions.
It has been replaced by STARTER (for stand-alone drives) and integrated into SINAMICS Startdrive within TIA Portal.
SIMOCOM U is a PC-based parameterization and commissioning tool developed by Siemens for its older generation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) and DC drives. The "U" stands for "Universal," reflecting its ability to communicate with multiple drive series via serial interfaces (RS-232/RS-485) or a PROFIBUS network.
