Introduction
1.2 Performing a receiving inspection

Note
Perform each step of the receiving inspection in order to identify major faults or defects
immediately.

A: Visual inspection and mechanical testing of the control cabinet system


Pay particular attention to the doors, checking for damage that frequently occurs when
handled incorrectly during shipping. Also check that all screws on the side walls are in
place.
Check that the cable ducts are still covered.
Check the converter for protruding wires.

B: Testing the voltages


Check that the power supply voltage matches the rating specified on the rating plate. (For
example, are the requirements AC 3~ and 1~ auxiliary voltage met, if supplied
separately?)
Check the rating plates of the medium voltage transformer and the motor.

Safety Instructions
2.1

Observing the five safety rules


For your personal safety and in order to prevent material damage it is essential that you
follow the safety instructions given below and all safety-related instructions in your product
documentation. In particular pay attention to the safety-related instructions on the product
itself and always read the section headed "Safety Instructions" in each document.
DANGER
Danger due to high voltages
High voltages cause death or serious injury if the safety instructions are not observed or if
the equipment is handled incorrectly.
Potentially fatal voltages occur when this equipment is in operation which can remain
present even after the converter is switched off.
Ensure that only qualified and trained personnel carry out work on the equipment.
Follow the five rules at all times and during each stage of the work.
The five safety rules:
1. Disconnect the system.
2. Protect against reconnection.
3. Make sure that the equipment is de-energized.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Cover or enclose adjacent components that are still live

2.2

ESD-sensitive components

Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD)


CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge
Electronic modules contain components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
These modules can be easily destroyed by improper handling.
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below.

Safety Instructions
2.2 ESD-sensitive components

Never touch electronic modules unless absolutely necessary in the course of


maintenance and repair procedures.
If the modules have to be touched, the body of the person concerned must be
electrostatically discharged immediately beforehand and be grounded.
Electronic modules should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating materials
such as plastic foil, plastic parts, insulating table supports or clothing made of synthetic
fibers.
Always place electrostatic endangered assemblies on conductive bases.
Always store and transport electronic modules or components in conductive packaging
(e.g. metallized plastic or metal containers).
CAUTION
Use conductive packaging material
Electronic modules must be stored, transported and dispatched in conductive
packaging.
Electronic modules which are not correctly stored, transported or dispatched can be
damaged.
Pack electronic modules in appropriate conductive packaging (e.g. foam rubber or
aluminum foil).
The necessary ESD protective measures for electrostatically sensitive devices are illustrated
once again in the following drawings:

Safety concept

2.3.1

Monitoring functions
The medium-voltage converter features hardware and software functions that protect it
against faults and damage caused by impermissible operating statuses or hardware
malfunctions. The control elements are located in the converter cabinet and support internal
microprocess-controlled monitoring and remote device monitoring.

2.3.2

Insulation monitoring

Insulation monitoring
The SINAMICS GM150 converter is operated ground-free via an IT system. This means that
the converter can continue to operate if a ground fault occurs.
NOTICE
A second ground fault causes the converter to fail.
For safety reasons, it is necessary to detect such ground faults, in order to eliminate the risk
of electric shock on the converter. For this reason, the SINAMICS GM150 converter is
equipped with an A-ISOMETER insulation monitor (type IRDH275BM), which continuously
monitors the condition of the converter, including the motor.
Only one insulation monitoring device can be connected to each live connected IT system.
The insulation monitor automatically adjusts monitoring in line with the line discharge
capacitance.
Before carrying out any insulation or voltage testing on the power system, the voltage
monitor's instrument cables must be disconnected for the duration of testing.
The A-ISOMETER Type IRDH275BM is connected between the ungrounded supply and the
equipotential bonding conductor (PE).

Self-test
The A-ISOMETER IRDH275B automatically runs a self-test routine whenever the insulation
resistance of the mains supply > 20 M or every 24 hours if an output relay has been
preselected for system fault signaling.

Terminal monitoring
The connections to mains and ground (PE) are monitored continuously. If the cables are
interrupted or not connected, or if their resistance is high, this is indicated on the LCD.
In this case, please check the terminal conductors immediately, as the insulation resistance
is not being measured properly.
The insulation resistance can be > 20 M in new or small IT systems. An alarm would also
be output in this case. In this case, terminal monitoring must be deactivated in Setup2.
The insulation monitor monitors the insulation resistance of the converter with respect to two
limit values:
Limit value 1: Insulating resistor < 500 kOhms = Signal 1 (alarm)
Limit value 2: Insulating resistor < 100 kOhms = Signal 2 (fault)
The messages are wired as follows on the terminal strip TM 15, and output as messages to
the AOP30 and the starter.

Undervoltage tripping

Tripping of the circuit breaker in case of undervoltage


If a serious fault occurs (e.g., overload in the DC link), the converter is immediately
disconnected from the power supply by means of the safety shutdown function.
WARNING
This function cannot ensure that the drive stops immediately, nor can it ensure that residual
voltages do not still exist at the output terminals and within the unit.
The shutdown of the circuit breaker is triggered by a safety contactor combination.
It is essential for the circuit breaker on the system side to be equipped with an undervoltage
trip to ensure the wire-break protection for the circuit breaker OFF command.
If a circuit breaker OFF command is issued as a result of an overvoltage trip, the circuit
breaker is switch off so that it is fail-safe.

High-speed grounding switch

Description
The short-circuiter is triggered if an over-voltage occurs due to a serious fault and it cannot
be brought under control by opening the circuit-breaker and unlocking the pulse block of the
machine.
When the short-circuiter thyristors are triggered, the circuit-breaker is always deactivated.
Once the thyristors have been triggered, an acknowledgement signal is output to the closedloop control system. Fiber-optic conductors are used to control gating of the thyristors and
the acknowledgement signals.
The short-circuiter is triggered by the Power Stack Adapter.
WARNING
It takes up to six minutes for the voltages to reach a safe level once the high voltage and
auxiliary voltage have been switched off.
If the short-circuiter is defective, this can significantly increase the discharge time.
Always observe the five safety rules in "Safety information/personnel protection" and in the
converter documentation.
The response voltage depends on the rated output voltage of the converter:

Networked structures for safe shutdown in an emergency

The overview diagram shows how central components are networked. The DRIVE-CLiQ
connection between the control unit and the power stack adapter is considered secure
because communication on the DRIVE-CLiQ cable is monitored cyclically.
With regard to contactor control for the circuit breaker, a two-channel bypass to the open
circuits is provided for safety reasons. Refer to the overview diagram for circuit breaker
control in the appendix. This ensures that the circuit breaker opens whenever a fault occurs
within the system, that is, system faults in the control unit or power stack adapter cause the
circuit breaker to trip. A bypass to the circuit breaker is also provided via a fiber-optic ring if
faults occur in other inverter systems.
The following time-coded signals are transmitted via the fiber-optic ring:
Pulse inhibit
Circuit breaker OPEN
Crowbar CLOSED
Arc-through of all IGCTs (only with GM150 IGCT)

Controlled stop, EMERGENCY OFF category 1 (option L60)

Description of the EMERGENCY STOP function


The EMERGENCY STOP function for controlled shutdown stops the drive by means of a
quick stop process along a deceleration ramp that must be parameterized.
NOTICE
The drive is stopped during controlled deceleration without braking modules with only a
very low % braking torque. Depending on the load machine, the ramp-down procedure may
take a long time.

Setting via parameter p0918


You can only do this if the address has been set to 0 or 127 using the address switches, that
is, all switches from S1 to S7 are set to ON or OFF (default setting). If the address is
changed, the new setting does not become effective until the Control Unit CU320 is switched
on.
Note
The set PROFIBUS address is saved by means of the "Copy RAM to ROM" function.

3.3.5

Requirements for communication via PROFIBUS

Description
The PROFIBUS master must always send a 1 in the eleventh bit (bit 10) of the first control
word (control by PLC). The process data (PZD) will not otherwise be processed further
internally.
It is not sufficient to interconnect parameter p854 permanently with a 1.
This also applies to slave-to-slave communication between multiple slaves (converter with
DC master as an excitation device...). The eleventh bit (bit 10) must be preset to 1 in the first
control word from the master to the converter. This also applies when no other master
control commands are in use and slaves are communicating by direct slave-to-slave data
exchange only.

Specify the type of control:
P1300 = 0: Simple V/f control with linear characteristic curve
P1300 = 2: Simple V/f control with quadratic characteristic curve
P1300 = 18: Simple I/f control with linear characteristic curve
P1300 = 20: Closed-loop speed control without a rotary encoder
P1300 = 21: Closed-loop speed control with a rotary encoder
P1300 = 22: Torque control without a rotary encoder
P1300 = 23: Torque control with a rotary encoder
Modes 0, 2 and 18 are primarily intended for commissioning purposes. They are not
really suitable for ordinary operation. This is due to the fact that large motors tend to
vibrate if operated purely under controlled conditions. The dynamics are also very poor
and there is a high risk of stalling. Therefore, only modes 20 to 23 should be used.

Figure 3-26

STARTER - Entering motor data

Enter the motor data as per the motor type specifications on the rating plate of the
motor in the "Value" input field.
The number of pole pairs is calculated automatically from p0310/p0311. Any
discrepancies in the data are shown in error message 7950 when commissioning is
completed. The suspected incorrect parameter is shown in the appendage.
The error could be due to:
p0307 >= 1.7321 * p0304 * p0305 *p308
No motor selected (p0300=0)
Slip = 0 or too low
For the induction motor, it is very important to enter the correct rated motor speed
P0311 to assess the motor data.

If necessary, activate the check box "Use or change available optional data?".

If necessary, activate the check box "Do you want to enter the equivalent circuit
diagram data?". Enter the required data:
Rating plate data:
p304, p305, p307, p310, p311
Optional data:
p0322 = maximum motor speed
If p322 is entered, you cannot select a technological maximum speed in p1082
that exceeds p0322. Likewise, the current limit in p0640 cannot exceed p0323, if
p0323 > 0. These parameters are primarily designed to protect the motor.
p0323 = maximum motor current
p0341 = motor moment of inertia
Parameters p0341 and p0342 are required for acceleration precontrol and for
encoderless operation. If these parameters are left blank, then estimated values
are derived from p0341 on the basis of the rating plate data.
p0342 = moment of inertia ratio
p0352 = cable resistance
It is particularly important to enter line parameters p0352 and p0353 if there are
long supply cables between the converter and the motor.
p0353 = cable inductance
ECD data:
p0350 = motor stator resistance, cold
p0354 = motor rotor resistance, cold
p0356 = motor stator leakage inductance
p0358 = motor rotor leakage inductance
p0360 = motor magnetizing inductance
The control expects you to enter the physical ECD data for a motor star connection. If
the values for a delta connection are the only data available, all 5 parameters must be
divided by a factor of 3. This is relevant only if the data is entered physically. Correct
entry of the ECD data has a beneficial influence on the control characteristics. In
particular, the speed and torque can be estimated far more accurately during
encoderless operation. If the main inductance p0360 is unknown, the rated motor
magnetizing current p0320 can be entered instead. This also allows for better
estimation of the parameters. The resulting magnetizing current, calculated on the
basis of the data entered, is displayed in r0331.

NOTICE
You should only select the "Do you want to enter the equivalent circuit diagram data?"
check box if the data sheet with equivalent circuit diagram data is available.
If you do not enter all the required data, you will not be able to exit the screen.

Entering additional important parameters


Below is a brief overview of the key parameters for initial commissioning and identification:

Parameters for STW1 control signals


The signals for control word 1 (STW 1) in the drive object are interconnected as follows, in
accordance with the configuration of command data set 0 (CDS0) on terminal strip ( P700[0]
= terminal strip):
The parameters comprising STW 1 are listed below.

Check the input signals that comprise control word 1.


Interconnect the hardware signals to the Sinamics modules during commissioning.

Setting parameters for circuit breakers


The medium-voltage switch function is assigned to the infeed object.
Place the medium-voltage switch in TEST position before commissioning, or switch the
medium-voltage power supply off to ensure that the medium-voltage switch can be
isolated from the power supply.
Check the default values and adjust them to match the switch data if necessary.

Example of how the circuit breaker works


The switch is turned on by a switch-on pulse and off by a switch-off pulse (p6677[0] and
p6678[0]).
The switch-on pulse lasts 1 second (p6681[0]).
The switch-off pulse lasts until the check-back signal "Off" is received (P6680[0]).

Modes 0, 2 and 18 are primarily intended for commissioning purposes. They are not
really suitable for ordinary operation. This is due to the fact that large motors tend to
vibrate if operated purely under controlled conditions. The dynamics are also very poor
and there is a high risk of stalling. Therefore, only modes 20 to 23 should be used.

Entering motor data

Figure 3-61

STARTER - Entering motor data

Enter the motor data as per the motor type specifications on the rating plate of the
motor in the "Value" input field.
The number of pole pairs is calculated automatically from p0310/p0311. Any
discrepancies in the data are shown in error message 7950 when commissioning is
completed. The suspected incorrect parameter is shown in the appendage.
The error could be due to:
p0307 >= 1.7321 * p0304 * p0305 *p308
No motor selected (p0300=0)
Slip = 0 or too low
For the induction motor, it is very important to enter the correct rated motor speed
P0311 to assess the motor data.

If necessary, activate the check box "Use or change available optional data?".

If necessary, activate the check box "Do you want to enter the equivalent circuit
diagram data?". Enter the required data:
Rating plate data:
p304, p305, p307, p310, p311
Optional data:
p0322 = maximum motor speed
If p322 is entered, you cannot select a technological maximum speed in p1082
that exceeds p0322. Likewise, the current limit in p0640 cannot exceed p0323, if
p0323 > 0. These parameters are primarily designed to protect the motor.
p0323 = maximum motor current
p0341 = motor moment of inertia
Parameters p0341 and p0342 are required for acceleration precontrol and for
encoderless operation. If these parameters are left blank, then estimated values
are derived from p0341 on the basis of the rating plate data.
p0342 = moment of inertia ratio
p0352 = cable resistance
It is particularly important to enter line parameters p0352 and p0353 if there are
long supply cables between the converter and the motor.
p0353 = cable inductance
ECD data:
p0350 = motor stator resistance, cold
p0354 = motor rotor resistance, cold
p0356 = motor stator leakage inductance
p0358 = motor rotor leakage inductance
p0360 = motor magnetizing inductance
The control expects you to enter the physical ECD data for a motor star connection. If
the values for a delta connection are the only data available, all 5 parameters must be
divided by a factor of 3. This is relevant only if the data is entered physically. Correct
entry of the ECD data has a beneficial influence on the control characteristics. In
particular, the speed and torque can be estimated far more accurately during
encoderless operation. If the main inductance p0360 is unknown, the rated motor
magnetizing current p0320 can be entered instead. This also allows for better
estimation of the parameters. The resulting magnetizing current, calculated on the
basis of the data entered, is displayed in r0331.
NOTICE
You should only select the "Do you want to enter the equivalent circuit diagram data?"
check box if the data sheet with equivalent circuit diagram data is available.
If you do not enter all the required data, you will not be able to exit the screen.

Setting parameters for circuit breakers


The medium-voltage switch function is assigned to the infeed object.
Place the medium-voltage switch in TEST position before commissioning, or switch the
medium-voltage power supply off to ensure that the medium-voltage switch can be
isolated from the power supply.
Check the default values and adjust them to match the switch data if necessary.

Example of how the circuit breaker works


The switch is turned on by a switch-on pulse and off by a switch-off pulse (p6677[0] and
p6678[0]).
The switch-on pulse lasts 1 second (p6681[0]).
The switch-off pulse lasts until the check-back signal "Off" is received (P6680[0]).

discrepancies in the data are shown in error message 7950 when commissioning is
completed. The suspected incorrect parameter is shown in the appendage.
The error could be due to:
p0307 >= 1.7321 * p0304 * p0305 *p308
No motor selected (p0300=0)
Slip = 0 or too low
For the induction motor, it is very important to enter the correct rated motor speed
P0311 to assess the motor data.

If necessary, activate the check box "Use or change available optional data?".

If necessary, activate the check box "Do you want to enter the equivalent circuit
diagram data?". Enter the required data:
Rating plate data:
p304, p305, p307, p310, p311
Optional data:
p0322 = maximum motor speed
If p322 is entered, you cannot select a technological maximum speed in p1082
that exceeds p0322. Likewise, the current limit in p0640 cannot exceed p0323, if
p0323 > 0. These parameters are primarily designed to protect the motor.
p0323 = maximum motor current
p0341 = motor moment of inertia
Parameters p0341 and p0342 are required for acceleration precontrol and for
encoderless operation. If these parameters are left blank, then estimated values
are derived from p0341 on the basis of the rating plate data.
p0342 = moment of inertia ratio
p0352 = cable resistance
It is particularly important to enter line parameters p0352 and p0353 if there are
long supply cables between the converter and the motor.
p0353 = cable inductance
ECD data:
p0350 = motor stator resistance, cold
p0354 = motor rotor resistance, cold
p0356 = motor stator leakage inductance
p0358 = motor rotor leakage inductance
p0360 = motor magnetizing inductance
The control expects you to enter the physical ECD data for a motor star connection. If
the values for a delta connection are the only data available, all 5 parameters must be
divided by a factor of 3. This is relevant only if the data is entered physically. Correct
entry of the ECD data has a beneficial influence on the control characteristics. In
particular, the speed and torque can be estimated far more accurately during
encoderless operation. If the main inductance p0360 is unknown, the rated motor
magnetizing current p0320 can be entered instead. This also allows for better
estimation of the parameters. The resulting magnetizing current, calculated on the
basis of the data entered, is displayed in r0331.

NOTICE
You should only select the "Do you want to enter the equivalent circuit diagram data?"
check box if the data sheet with equivalent circuit diagram data is available.
If you do not enter all the required data, you will not be able to exit the screen.

3.7.2.1

Initial commissioning with the AOP 30

Introduction
During the initial commissioning of the converter, the first operating step is to set the
language. Then carry out the basic parameterization. The input of parameters is done in
seven or eight menus (depending on whether you want to enter equivalent circuit diagram
parameters).
Only when all of the parameters necessary for the initial commissioning have been set, no
more initial commissioning will be performed. Regardless of whether the parameterization
was carried out at the AOP or using the STARTER.
You can skip the menu-driven initial commissioning using the Menu key. The main menu
appears. By selecting the menu item Commissioning/Service - Drive Commissioning Complete Commissioning you can start the initial commissioning. When Complete
commissioning is selected, the parameterization of the infeed is omitted. The parameters
listed in section Basic Parameterization must be reparameterized during the Complete
Commissioning in the parameter list of the B_Infeed.

Selecting the language


After the first time the converter is switched on, the menu for selecting the language
appears.

Using the function keys or , select the desired language.


By default, the following languages are stored on the CompactFlash card
German
English
Spanish
Italian
French
Chinese
Confirm the selected language with the OK function key. A download process begins,
which can last several minutes.

During the switchover from remote to local mode with the drive switched on (motor
running) the current actual value is set as the AOP setpoint.

AOP ramp-up time/AOP ramp-down time


The AOP setpoint ramp-up time and the AOP setpoint ramp-down time determine the time in
which the AOP setpoint will be changed using the + and - keys.
The ramp-up time is in effect for changes to the setpoint of lower or higher (positive or
negative) values, the ramp-down time in the opposite direction.
The times set here also are in effect for the ramp-up and ramp-down times set in the drive.
The default setting for the AOP ramp-up time is 20 seconds, and 30 seconds for the AOP
ramp-down time.
Recommendation: Set the ramp-up/ramp-down time just as for p1120/p1121. Adjusting the
AOP ramp-up/ramp-down time does not affect the setting of parameters p1120 / p1121,
because this is an AOP-specific setting.

Definition of the ramp-up/ramp-down time:


Example: With the ramp-up time set at 50 s, the maximum setpoint is reached by pressing
the + key in 50 s.

What is a fault?
A fault is a message from the drive indicating an error or other exceptional (unwanted)
status. This could be caused by a fault within the converter or an external fault triggered, for
example, from the winding temperature monitor for the asynchronous motor. The faults are
displayed and can be reported to a higher-level control system via PROFIBUS. In the factory
default setting, the message "converter fault" is also sent to a relay output. Once you have
rectified the cause of the fault, you have to acknowledge the fault message.
The list of faults and alarms indicates the type of response (OFF1, OFF2, and so on) for
each fault message.

Displaying faults
Faults are displayed by the red FAULT LED. Any faults that have occurred are automatically
displayed. Up to eight faults occurring at the same time are displayed.
Using the function keys or , select the fault.
You can acknowledge the fault by pressing the Ack. function key. The operation screen
is displayed.
Using the Help function key, you can call up the information for clearing the fault.

What is an alarm?
An alarm is the response to a fault condition identified by the drive. It does not result in the
drive being switched off and does not have to be acknowledged. Alarms are "self
acknowledging", that is, they are reset automatically when the cause of the alarm has been
eliminated.

Displaying alarms
Alarms are indicated by the yellow ALARM LED. In addition, a corresponding note regarding
the cause will be displayed on the operator panel. Up to eight faults occurring at the same
time are displayed.

Using the function keys or , select the desired parameter and confirm with the OK
key.
0: Ready = The device commissioning is concluded.
1: Device configuration = At the first commissioning of the devices, after run-up, the
device is in the "device configuration" state. To start the internal automatic first
commissioning of the drive unit, p0009 should be set to 0 (Ready) after the ID for
the actual topology (r0098) was transferred into the ID for the target topology
(p0099). To do this, it is sufficient to set a single index value of p0099[x] the same
as r0098[x]. Before the device has been completely commissioned, no other
parameter can be changed. After the first commissioning was carried-out, in this
state, when required, other basic device configuration parameters can be adapted
(e.g. the basic sampling time in p0110).
2: Determining drive type = The drive object types and/or the function modules for
individual drive objects can be changed or selected. To this end, the drive object
type can be set via p0107[0...15] and the function module can be set via
p0108[0...15] (see p0101[0...15])
3: Drive basic configuration = After the device has been commissioned for the first
time, basic changes can be made for the individual drive objects (e.g. sampling
times in p0111, p0112, p0115 and the number of data sets in p0120, p0130, p0140,
p0170, p0180).
4. Data basic configuration = After the device has been commissioned for the first
time, for the individual drive objects changes can be made regarding the
assignment of the components (p0121, p0131, p0141, p0151, p0161) to the
individual data sets and the assignment of the power module, motor and encoder to
the drive data sets (p0185, and onwards).
30: parameter reset = In order to bring the complete unit into the "first
commissioning" state or to load the parameters saved with p0977, p0009 must first
be set to this value. p0976 can then be changed to the required value.

Saving parameters in a non-volatile memory


The modified parameter values are stored in the volatile RAM. When the drive system is
switched off, this data is lost.
The data has to be saved as follows in a non-volatile manner on the CompactFlash card so
that it is available the next time the drive is switched on.

BICO technology: Interconnecting signals

5.2.1

Binectors and Connectors

Description
Every drive contains a large number of interconnectable input and output variables and
internal control variables.
BICO technology (Binector Connector Technology) allows the drive to be adapted to a wide
variety of conditions.
Digital and analog signals, which can be connected freely by means of BICO parameters,
are identified by the prefix BI, BO, CI or CO in their parameter name. These parameters are
identified accordingly in the parameter list or in the function diagrams.
Note
The STARTER parameterization and commissioning tool is recommended when using BICO
technology.

Binectors, BI: Binector Input, BO: Binector Output


A binector is a digital (binary) signal without a unit that can assume the value 0 or 1.
Binectors are subdivided into binector inputs (signal sink) and binector outputs (signal
source).

Connectors, CI: Connector Input, CO: Connector Output


A connector is a digital signal, e.g. in 32-bit format. It can be used to depict words (16 bits),
double words (32 bits) or analog signals. Connectors are subdivided into connector inputs
(signal sink) and connector outputs (signal source).
The options for interconnecting connectors are restricted to ensuring that performance is not
adversely affected.

Interconnecting signals using BICO technology

Note
A signal source (BO) can be connected to any number of signal sinks (BI).
A signal sink (BI) can only be connected to one signal source (BO) at a time.
The BICO parameter interconnection can be implemented in different command data sets
(CDS). The different interconnections are activated by switching data sets.

Data sets

CDS: Command Data Set


The BICO parameters (binector and connector inputs) are grouped together in a command
data set. These parameters are used to interconnect the signal sources of a drive.
By configuring several command data sets and switching between them, the drive can be
operated with different pre-configured signal sources.
A command data set contains the following (examples):
Binector inputs for control commands (digital signals)
ON/OFF, enable signals (p0844, etc.)
Jog (p1055, etc.)
Connector inputs for setpoints (analog signals)
Voltage setpoint for V/f control (p1330)
Torque limits and scaling factors (p1522, p1523, p1528, p1529)
A drive object can depending on the type manage up to 4 command data sets. The
number of command data sets is configured with p0170.
The following parameters are available for selecting command data sets and for displaying
currently selected command data sets - e.g. in the vector mode, the following parameters are
available:
Binector inputs p0810 to p0811 are used to select a command data set. They represent the
number of the command data set (0 to 3) in binary format (where p0811 is the most
significant bit).
p0810 BI: Command data set selection CDS bit 0
p0811 BI: Command data set selection CDS bit 1
If a command data set that does not exist is selected, the current data set remains active.
The selected data set is displayed using parameter (r0836).

DDS: Drive Data Set


A drive data set contains various adjustable parameters that are relevant with respect to
open and closed-loop drive control:
Numbers of the assigned motor and encoder data sets:
p0186: assigned motor data set (MDS)
p0187 to p0189: up to 3 assigned encoder data sets (EDS)
Various control parameters, e.g.:
Fixed speed setpoints (p1001 to p1015)
Speed limits min./max. (p1080, p1082)
Characteristic data of ramp-function generator (p1120 ff)
Characteristic data of controller (p1240 ff)
...
The parameters that are grouped together in the drive data set are identified in the List
Manual by "Data Set DDS" and are assigned an index [0..n].
More than one drive data set can be configured. You can switch easily between different
drive configurations (control type, motor, encoder) by selecting the corresponding drive data
set.
One drive object can manage up to 32 drive data sets. The number of drive data sets is
configured with p0180.
Binector inputs p0820 to p0824 are used to select a drive data set. They represent the
number of the drive data set (0 to 31) in binary format (where p0824 is the most significant
bit).

Boundary conditions and recommendations


Recommendation for the number of drive data sets for a drive
The number of drive data sets for a drive should correspond to the options for
changeover. The following must therefore apply:
p0180 (DDS) max. (p0120 (PDS), p0130 (MDS))
Max. number of DDS for one drive object = 32 DDS

MDS: Motor Data Set


A motor data set contains various adjustable parameters describing the connected motor for
the purpose of configuring the drive (see table 6-2). It also contains certain visualization
parameters with calculated data.
Adjustable parameters, e.g.:
Motor component number (p0131)
Motor type selection (p0300)
Rated motor data (p0304 ff)
...
Visualization parameters, e.g.:
Calculated rated data (p0330 ff)
...
The parameters that are grouped together in the motor data set are identified in the List
Manual by "Data Set DDS" and are assigned an index [0..n].
A separate motor data set is required for each motor that is controlled by the Control Unit via
a Motor Module. The motor data set is assigned to a drive data set via parameter p0186.
A motor data set can only be changed using a DDS changeover. The motor data set
changeover is, for example, used for:
Switching over different motors
Switching over different windings in a motor (e.g. star-delta changeover)
Adapting the motor data
If several motors are operated alternately on a Motor Module, a matching number of drive
data sets must be created. For further information about motor changeover, see the "Motor
changeover" section in the Function Manual.
One drive object can manage up to 16 motor data sets. The number of motor data sets in
p0130 must not exceed the number of drive data sets in p0180.
For the 611U interface mode (p2038 = 1), the drive data sets are divided into groups of eight
(1-8; 8-16;...). Within a group, the assignment to the motor data set must be identical:
p0186[0] = p0186[1] = ... = p0186[7]
p0186[8] = p0186[9] = ... = p0186[15]

If this rule is not observed, alarm A07514 is output. If you need a precise representation of
the data set structure of the 611U, 32 drive data sets and 4 motor data sets must be
configured.

Changing over units

Description
By changing over the units, parameters and process quantities for input and output can be
changed over to an appropriate system of units (US units or as per unit quantities (%)).
The following supplementary conditions apply when changing over units:
Parameters of the type plate of the drive converter or the motor rating plate can be
changed over between SI/US units; however, a per unit representation is not possible.
After changing over the units parameter, all parameters that are assigned to one of the
units group dependent on it, are all changed over to the new system of units.
A parameter is available to select technological units (p0595) to represent technological
quantities in the technology controller.
If the units are converted to per unit quantities and the reference quantity changed, the
percentage value entered in a parameter is not changed.
Example:
A fixed speed of 80% corresponds, for a reference speed of 1500 RPM, to a value of
1200 RPM.
If the reference speed is changed to 3000 RPM, then the value of 80% is kept and
now means 2400 RPM.

Restrictions
When a unit changeover occurs, rounding to the decimal places is carried out. This can
lead to the original value being changed by up to one decimal place.
If a referenced form is selected and the reference parameters (e.g. p2000) are changed
retrospectively, the referenced values of some of the control parameters are also
adjusted to ensure that the control behavior is unaffected.

Parameter assignment / addressing


5.4 Changing over units
If the reference values (p2000 to p2007) are changed offline in STARTER, it can lead to
boundary violations of the parameter values, which cause error messages during loading
to the drive.

Groups of units
Every parameter that can be changed over is assigned to a units group, that, depending on
the group, can be changed over within certain limits.
This assignment and the unit groups can be read for each parameter in the parameter list in
the List Manual.
The unit groups can be individually switched using 4 parameters (p0100, p0349, p0505 and
p0595).

Function in STARTER
To call up the function for converting units in STARTER, choose Drive object ->
Configuration -> Units. The reference parameters can be found under Drive object ->

Reference parameters/normalizations

Description
Reference values, corresponding to 100%, are required for the statement of units as
percentages. These reference values are entered in parameters p2000 to p2007. They are
computed during the calculation through p0340 = 1 or in STARTER during drive
configuration. After calculation in the drive, these parameters are automatically protected via
p0573 = 1 from boundary violation through a new calculation (p0340). This eliminates the
need to adjust the references values in a PROFIdrive controller whenever a new calculation
of the reference parameters via p0340 takes place.

Note
If a referenced form is selected and the reference parameters (e.g. p2000) are changed
retrospectively, the referenced values of some of the control parameters are also adjusted to
ensure that the control behavior is unaffected.

Using STARTER offline


Following offline drive configuration, the reference parameters are preset; they can be
changed and protected under Drive -> Configuration -> "Disabled list" tab.
Note
If the reference values (p2000 to p2007) are changed offline in STARTER, it can lead to
boundary violations of the parameter values, which cause error messages during loading to
the drive.

The control expects you to enter the physical ECD data for a motor star connection. If the
values for a delta connection are the only data available, all parameters must be divided by a
factor of 3. This is relevant only if the data is entered physically.

Completing the commissioning


The data listed above must be entered for all motor data sets. Once you have finished, exit
commissioning mode by setting P3900=3. Any incorrect parameters may cause error
message 7950 to be displayed. If this happens, the drive remains in "Commissioning" mode
(P10=1).

6.1.2

Motor data identification

Description
Following commissioning, motor identification can be carried out automatically. This
determines motor data more precisely by means of rotating measurement. No static
moments must be allowed to act on the drive (no load torque).
DANGER
A running motor may result in death, serious personal injury or severe material damage.
When identifying the motor data, motor movements are initiated, which can reach the
maximum motor speed.
The emergency STOP functions must be fully operational during commissioning. To protect
the machines and personnel, the relevant safety regulations must be observed

Identification process
Switch the identification on by setting p1900=1. Identification begins with the next ON
command.
The motor performs various test movements and the right-hand rotary field is accelerated
to its rated speed.
Once identification has been successfully completed, p1900 is automatically reset to 0.
Identification ends with an internal pulse block, and the motor coasts to a standstill.
The following data is identified:

Total stator resistance (with series reactor/line)

Once the measurements have been completed successfully (P1900=0) and if the values
displayed are plausible, the results can be transferred to the ECD data (p0316, p0350
p0360). To do this, set P1910=1.
In addition to the motor data, the non-linearity of the converter is also measured. This
involves the linearization parameter P6926 being optimized so that the low-frequency
current harmonics (6th harmonic) are minimized. The non-linearity is particularly evident
at low speeds, where it results in unsteady running. A good value for p6926 also
improves the precision and quality of encoderless control.
Note
If autoidentification is not possible, manual optimization can be carried out instead. To
perform manual optimization the drive needs to be turned at a low frequency (approx. 1
Hz) while p6926 is adjusted from 0-200% so that the 6th harmonic in the current (r78) is
minimized.

6.1.3.1

Field weakening starting point

Description
The flux controller determines the start of field weakening. The starting point can be changed
via P6701. If the motor voltage reaches the value set in P6701 then field suppression is
activated.
The default setting is P6701 = 100% of the rated motor voltage. If the motor is also designed
for higher voltages then P6701 can also be increased. If the converter reaches the
modulation depth limit before this voltage is reached then field weakening is activated
sooner. In this case the controller stays at the modulation depth limit and has no spare
capacity.
The modulation depth limit can be adjusted using the parameter P1803. The maximum
modulation range possible is determined by the UF table, however. The controller therefore
uses the minimum from P1803 and takes the maximum from the internal UF table.

Notes on Operation with no Tacho-Generator


Note
If an encoder is not being used, a certain starting or holding current must be configured
so that the motor does not start to drift when it is at a standstill (P1610). The current level
should be chosen such that it is slightly above the maximum static load current when the
motor is at a standstill. Dynamic torques when starting up or even static load torques at
low speeds can be ignored. As a result, a low current of about 10% (default) will generally
suffice.
Parameter P1610 has no effect when using a encoder. A sensible value should
nevertheless be entered to ensure that the switchover in the event of encoder faults when
not using a encoder proceeds smoothly.
The speed control gain chosen should not exceed 10, since only a filtered model speed is
available during encoderless operation.
If there is motion when the speed is set to zero (imbalance or drifting from the speed
setpoint) then the total moment of inertia in P341 / P342 should be reduced. Parameter
R345 (rated motor acceleration time), which is determined from the motor data and the
total inertia, gives an indication of the correct moment of inertia.
For further information about setting and optimizing the speed controller, please refer to
section "Functions / Drive functions" in chapter "Speed controller".

Safety information
WARNING
Danger! High voltage
High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are not observed or if the
equipment is handled incorrectly.
As soon as the motor starts to rotate, a high voltage is generated.
Safely disconnect the motor. If this is not possible, the motor must be locked by a holding
brake, for example.

6.2 Instructions for commissioning permanent-magnet synchronous motors

Note
If pulse inhibition of the converter occurs (fault or OFF2), synchronous motors can generate
high terminal voltages in the field weakening range, which could lead to overvoltage in the
DC link. The following possibilities exist to protect the drive system from being destroyed due
to overvoltage:
Restrict (p0643 = 0) maximum speed (p1082)
External voltage limiter or chopper or other measures appropriate to the application (e.g.
circuit breaker on the motor side).
CAUTION
Overvoltages can result in damage to the converter.
The converter's components are only designed for a specific voltage.
With p0643 = 1, it must be ensured that there is sufficiently high and suitable overvoltage
protection. If necessary, precautionary measures should be taken on the system side.

Motor data identification

Description
Following commissioning, motor identification can be carried out automatically. This
determines motor data more precisely by means of rotating measurement. No static
moments must be allowed to act on the drive (no load torque).
DANGER
A running motor may result in death, serious personal injury or severe material damage.
When identifying the motor data, motor movements are initiated, which can reach the
maximum motor speed.
The emergency STOP functions must be fully operational during commissioning. To protect
the machines and personnel, the relevant safety regulations must be observed

Identification process
Switch the identification on by setting p1900=1. Identification begins with the next ON
command.
The motor performs various test movements and the right-hand rotary field is accelerated
to its rated speed.
Once identification has been successfully completed, p1900 is automatically reset to 0.
Identification ends with an internal pulse block, and the motor coasts to a standstill.
The following data is identified:
r1912

Total stator resistance (with series reactor/line)

r1937

Torque constant

r1988

Motor stator inductance, q axis

r1989

Motor stator inductance, d axis

Once the measurements have been completed successfully (P1900=0) and if the values
displayed are plausible, the results can be transferred to the ECD data (p0316, p0350
p0360). To do this, set P1910=1.
In addition to the motor data, the non-linearity of the converter is also measured. This
involves the linearization parameter P6926 being optimized so that the low-frequency
current harmonics (6th harmonic) are minimized. The non-linearity is particularly evident
at low speeds, where it results in unsteady running. A good value for p6926 also
improves the precision and quality of encoderless control.
Note
If autoidentification is not possible, manual optimization can be carried out instead. To
perform manual optimization the drive needs to be turned at a low frequency (approx. 1
Hz) while p6926 is adjusted from 0-200% so that the 6th harmonic in the current (r78) is
minimized.

In principle, a distinction can be made between saturation-based and motion-based


procedures. Saturation-based procedures require no encoder and work even when the shaft
is fully braked. As a rule, they are therefore less accurate.
Note
At speeds > 5%, the PEM control corrects the initially estimated pole position. An more
imprecise pole position procedure therefore has no impact on the orientation

Saturation-based procedure
If the motor has different inductance distribution in the d and q axis the procedures
p1980 = 4: for Ld > Lq
p1980 = 5: for Ld < Lq
can be selected. A possible data sheet or the identification results shown in the "Pole
position identification" section provide more information about the distribution. To provide
positive pole position identification, the difference between the d and the q inductance should
be at least 5%. The test current for this procedure is comparatively low (p1993 = approx.
10% of rated motor current).
If Ld and Lq are approximately equal, the p1980 = 1 procedure should be chosen. This
procedure requires high current levels (p1993 = approx. 50-100% of rated motor current)
and causes correspondingly high levels of noise and movement.
Note
The low- and high-level signal response of the inductances can be different. Procedures 4
and 5, for example, can produce perfectly acceptable results with a low test current, even
when Ld and Lq are more or less identical in terms of the high-level signal response. It is
therefore vital that the procedures are tested in advance.

Motion-based procedures
Procedure
p1980 = 10
does not need a encoder. It injects the test current entered in p1993 and performs an
electrical 360 movement within the time specified in p1994. The motor aligns itself and
follows the current phasor. The test current should be orientated towards the maximum
blocking torque so that blocked drives can also be aligned.
Procedure
p1980 = 11
requires a encoder. The motor oscillates slightly, and these movements are detected and
evaluated with the encoder signal.
Note
If the oscillations are not strong enough, because the encoder does not have the necessary
resolution, the amplitude of the test current must be increased (p1993) or the frequency
reduced (p1995). Although this procedure is extremely accurate, it is only of limited use in
the case of fully-braked drives. The amplitude of the test current may have to be set very
high.

Test mode
Test mode can be used to find the best procedure for a particular motor. If test mode is
active (P1983 = 1), a cyclic permanent identification using the selected procedure (P1980) is
carried out the next time a pulse is issued. The phase displacement (r1984) is cyclically
updated and should fluctuate by no more than +/- 30.
NOTICE
In test mode, the drive can move several pole pitches
The following parameters can be modified to improve reproducibility:
Test current p1993:
A high test current produces better results, especially with procedures1, 10 and 11. For
procedures 4 and 5, the current is not the decisive factor.
Identification period p1994:
A longer identification period will generally improve reproducibility for all procedures.
Procedure P1980 = 10 in particular requires an adequate amount of time to allow the
motor to align itself.
Identification frequency p1995:
As a rule, a higher frequency has a positive impact in procedures 1, 4 and 5. However,
the value cannot be increased indefinitely due to the limited switching frequency of the
converter.
If procedure 11 is selected, the test frequency may have to be reduced to ensure
sufficient movement can be sensed by the encoder.

Jog

Description
This function can be selected via digital inputs or via a field bus (e.g. PROFIBUS). The
setpoint is, therefore, predefined via p1058[D] and p1059[D].
When a jog signal is present, the motor is accelerated to the jog setpoint with the
acceleration ramp of the ramp function generator (referred to the maximum speed p1082;
see diagram "Function chart: jog 1 and jog 2"). After the jog signal has been deselected, the
motor is decelerated via the set ramp of the ramp function generator.
CAUTION
The jog function is not PROFIdrive compatible!

Function chart: jog 1 and jog 2

Jog properties
If both jog signals are issued at the same time, the current speed is maintained (constant
velocity phase).
Jog setpoints are approached and exited via the ramp function generator.
The jog function can be activated from the "ready to start" status and from the OFF1
deceleration ramp.
If ON/OFF1 = "1" and jog are selected simultaneously, ON/OFF1 has priority.
OFF2 and OFF3 have priority over jogging.
In jog mode, the main speed setpoints (r1078) and the supplementary setpoints 1 and 2
(p1155 and p1160) are inhibited.
The suppression bandwidths (p1091 ... p1094) and the minimum limit (p1080) in the
setpoint channel are also active in jog mode.
In jog mode, ZSWA.02 (operation enabled) is set to "0" because the speed setpoint has
not been enabled for control.
The ramp function generator cannot be frozen (via p1141) in jog mode (r0046.31 = 1).

Motorized potentiometer

Description
This function is used to simulate an electromechanical potentiometer for setpoint input.
You can switch between manual and automatic mode for setpoint input. The specified
setpoint is routed to an internal ramp function generator. Setting values, start values and
braking with OFF1 do not require the ramp function generator of the motorized
potentiometer.
The output of the ramp function generator for the motorized potentiometer is available for
further interconnection via a connector output (e.g. interconnection to connector input p1070
- CI: main setpoint, an additional ramp function generator is then active).

Properties for manual mode (p1041 = "0")


Separate binector inputs for Raise and Lower are used to adjust the input setpoint:
p1035 BI: Motorized potentiometer, setpoint, raise
p1036 BI: Motorized potentiometer, lower setpoint
Invert setpoint (p1039)
Configurable ramp function generator, e.g.:
Ramp-up/ramp-down time (p1047/p1048) referred to p1082
Setting value (p1043/p1044)
Initial rounding-off active/not active (p1030.2)
Non-volatile storage via p1030.3
Configurable setpoint for Power On (p1030.0)
Starting value is the value in p1040 (p1030.0 = 0)
Starting value is the stored value (p1030.0 = 1)

Properties for automatic mode (p1041 = "1")


The input setpoint is specified via a connector input (p1042).
The motorized potentiometer acts like a "normal" ramp function generator.
Configurable ramp function generator, e.g.:
Switch on/off (p1030.1)
Ramp-up/ramp-down time (p1047/p1048)
Setting value (p1043/p1044)
Initial rounding-off active/not active (p1030.2)
Non-volatile storage of the setpoints via p1030.3

Direction of rotation limiting and direction of rotation changeover

Description
A reverse operation involves a direction reversal. A direction reversal in the setpoint channel
can be triggered by selecting direction reversal p1113[CDS].
If, on the other hand, a negative or positive setpoint is not to be preselected via the setpoint
channel, this can be prevented via parameter p1110[CDS or p1111[CDS]. However, the
following settings for minimum speed (p1080) in the setpoint channel are still operative. With
the minimum speed, the motor can turn in a negative direction, although p1110 = 1 is set.

Suppression bandwidths and setpoint limits

Description
In the range 0 U/min to setpoint speed, a drive train (e.g. motor, coupling, shaft, machine)
can have one or more points of resonance, which can result in vibrations. The suppression
bandwidths can be used to prevent operation in the resonance frequency range.
The limit frequencies can be set via p1080[DDS] and p1082[DDS]. These limits can be
changed during operation with the connectors p1085[CDS] and p1088[CDS].

Ramp function generator

Description
The ramp function generator is used to limit acceleration in the event of abrupt setpoint
changes, which helps prevent load surges throughout the drive train. The ramp-up time
p1120[DDS] and ramp-down time p1121[DDS] can be used to set an acceleration ramp and
a deceleration ramp independently of each other. This allows a controlled transition to be
made in the event of setpoint changes.
The maximum speed p1082[DDS] is used as a reference value for calculating the ramps
from the ramp-up and ramp-down times. A special adjustable ramp can be set via p1135 for
fast stop (OFF3), e.g. for rapid controlled deceleration when an emergency stop button is
pressed.
There are two types of ramp function generator:
Simple ramp function generator with
Acceleration and deceleration ramps
Ramp for fast stop (OFF3)
Tracking can be selected via a binector input

Ramp function generator tracking


If the drive is in the area of the torque limits, the actual speed value is removed from the
speed setpoint. The ramp function generator tracking updates the speed setpoint in line with
the actual speed value and so levels the ramp. p1145 can be used to deactivate ramp
function generator tracking (p1145 = 0) or set the permissible following error (p1145 > 1). If
the permissible following error is reached, then the speed setpoint at the ramp function
generator output will only be further increased in proportion to the speed setpoint.
Ramp function generator tracking can be activated for the simple and the extended ramp
function generators.

Speed controller

6.4.2.1

Description
Both closed-loop control procedures with and without a sensor (VC, SLVC) have the same
speed controller structure, which contains the following components:
PI controller
Speed controller pre-control
Droop function
The total of the output variables result in the torque setpoint, which is reduced to the
permissible magnitude by means of the torque setpoint limitation.

Speed controller
The speed controller receives its setpoint (r0062) from the setpoint channel and its actual
value (r0063) either directly from the speed sensor (control with sensor (VC)) or indirectly via
the motor model (control without sensor (SLVC)). The system deviation is increased by the
PI controller and, in conjunction with the pre-control, results in the torque setpoint.
When the load torque increases, the speed setpoint is reduced proportionately when droop
is active, which means that the single drive within a group (two or more mechanically
connected motors) is relieved when the torque becomes too great.

Speed controller

The controller parameter default settings are as follows:


Tn = 1000 ms
Kp = 4 (p.u. value)
If vibrations occur with these settings, the speed controller gain Kp must be reduced
manually. Actual-speed-value smoothing can also be increased (standard procedure for
gearless or high-frequency torsion vibrations) and the controller calculation performed again
because this value is also used to calculate Kp and Tn.

Functions
6.4 Drive Functions
The following relationships apply for optimization:
If Kp is increased, the controller becomes faster, although overshoot is reduced. Signal
ripples and vibrations in the speed control loop, however, increase.
If Tn is decreased, the controller still becomes faster, although overshoot is increased.
When speed control is set manually, it is easiest to define the possible dynamic response via
Kp (and actual speed value smoothing) first before reducing the integral time as much as
possible. When doing so, closed-loop control must also remain stable in the field-weakening
range.
To suppress any vibrations that occur in the speed controller, it is usually only necessary to
increase the smoothing time in p1452 for operation with a sensor or p1442 for operation
without a sensor or reduce the controller gain.
The integral output of the speed controller can be monitored via r1482 and the limited
controller output via r1508 (torque setpoint).
Note
In comparison with speed control with a sensor, the dynamic response of drives without a
sensor is significantly reduced. The actual speed is derived by means of a model calculation
from the converter output variables for current and voltage that have a corresponding
interference level. To this end, the actual speed must be adjusted by means of filter
algorithms in the software.

Description
Two adaptation methods are available, namely free Kp_n adaptation and speed-dependent
Kp_n/Tn_n adaptation.
Free Kp_n adaptation can also also be activated in "operation without sensor" mode and is
used in "operation with sensor" mode as an additional factor for speed-dependent Kp_n
adaptation.
The speed-dependent Kp_n/Tn_n-adaptation is only active during "operation with sensor".

The torque setpoint is switched/pre-controlled directly to the current controller via adaptors
as supplementary command variables (enabled via p1496).
The motor moment of inertia p0341 is calculated directly during commissioning or when the
entire set of parameters is calculated (p0340 = 1). The factor p0342 between the total
moment of inertia J and the motor moment of inertia must be determined manually or by
means of speed controller optimization. The acceleration is calculated from the speed
difference over the time dn/dt.

Speed controller with pre-control

If the speed controller has been correctly adjusted, it only has to compensate for disturbance
variables in its own control loop, which can be achieved by means of a relatively small
change to the correcting variables. Speed setpoint changes, on the other hand, are carried
out without involving the speed controller and are, therefore, performed more quickly.
The effect of the pre-control variable can be adapted according to the application via the
evaluation factor p1496. If p1496 = 100 %, pre-control is calculated in accordance with the
motor and load moment of inertia (p0341, p0342). A balancing filter is used automatically to
prevent the speed controller from acting against the injected torque setpoint. The time
constant of the balancing filter corresponds to the equivalent delay time of the speed control
loop. Speed controller pre-control is correctly set (p1496 = 100%, calibration via p0342)
when the I component of the speed controller (r1482) does not change during a ramp-up or
ramp-down in the range n > 20% x p0310. Thus, the pre-control allows a new speed setpoint
to be approached without overshoot (prerequisite: the torque limiting does not act and the
moment of inertia remains constant).
If the speed controller is pre-controlled through injection, the speed setpoint (r0062) is
delayed with the same smoothing time (p1442 or p1452) as the actual value (r1445). This
ensures that no target/actual difference (r0064) occurs at the controller input during
acceleration, which would be attributable solely to the signal propagation time.
When speed pre-control is activated, the speed setpoint must be specified continuously or
without a higher interference level (avoids sudden torque changes). An appropriate signal
can be generated by smoothing the speed setpoint or activating the ramp function generator
rounding p1130 p1131.
The starting time r0345 (Tstart) is a measure for the total moment of inertia J of the machine
and describes the time during which the unloaded drive can be accelerated with the rated
motor torque r0333 (Mmot,rated) from standstill to the rated motor speed p0311 (nmot,rated).

If these basic conditions are in line with the application, the starting time can be used as the

Note
The ramp-up and ramp-down times (p1120; p1121) of the ramp function generator in the
setpoint channel should be set accordingly so that the motor speed can track the setpoint
during acceleration and braking. This ensures that speed controller pre-control is functioning
optimally.
The acceleration pre-control using a connector input (p1495) is activated by the parameter
settings p1400.2 = 1 and p1400.3 = 0. p1428 (dead time) and p1429 (time constant) can be
set for balancing purposes.

Reference model

The reference model is activated when p1400.3 = 1 and p1400.2 = 0.


The reference model is used to emulate the path of the speed control loop with a P speed
controller.
The path emulation can be set in p1433 to p1435. It is activated when p1437 is connected to
the output of model r1436.
The reference model delays the setpoint-actual deviation for the integral component of the
speed controller so that transient conditions can be suppressed.
The reference model can also be emulated externally and its output signal injected via
p1437.

Speed controller with droop

The droop function has a torque limiting effect on a drive that is mechanically coupled to a
different speed (e.g. guide roller on a goods train). In this way, a very effective load
distribution can also be realized in connection with the torque setpoint of a leading speedcontrolled drive. In contrast to torque control or load distribution with overriding and
limitation, with the appropriate setting, such a load distribution controls even a smooth
mechanical connection or the case of slipping.
This method is only suitable to a limited extent for drives that are accelerated and braked
with significant changes in speed.
The droop feedback is used, for example, in applications in which two or more motors are
connected mechanically or operate with a common shaft and fulfill the above requirements. It
limits the torque differences that can occur as a result of the mechanical connection between
the motors by modifying the speeds of the individual motors (drive is relieved when the
torque becomes too great).
Prerequisites
All connected drives must be operated with vector control and speed control (with or
without a sensor).
Only a single common ramp function generator may be used for mechanically coupled
drives.

Torque control

Description
With sensorless speed control SLVC (p1300 = 20) or speed control with sensor VC (p1300 =
21), a switchover can be made to torque control (slave drive) via BICO parameter p1501. A
switchover cannot be made between speed and torque control if torque control is selected
directly with p1300 = 22 or 23. The torque setpoint and/or supplementary setpoint can be
entered using BICO parameter p1503 (CI: torque setpoint) or p1511 (CI: supplementary
torque setpoint). The supplementary torque is active both with torque and speed control.
This particular feature with the supplementary torque setpoint allows a pre-control torque to
be applied for speed control.
Note
For safety reasons, connecting to fixed torque setpoints is currently not possible.
Regenerative energy may accumulate, and this must be either fed back into the supply
system or converted into heat using a braking resistor.

Closed-loop speed/torque control

The total of the two torque setpoints is limited in the same way as the speed control torque
setpoint. Above the maximum speed (p1082), a speed limiting controller reduces the torque
limits in order to prevent the drive from accelerating any further.
True torque control (with self-adjusting speed) is only possible in closed-loop but not openloop control for sensorless vector control (SLVC). In open-loop control, the torque setpoint
adjusts the setpoint speed via a ramp function generator (integration time ~ p1499 x p0341 x
p0342). For this reason, sensorless torque control at standstill is only suitable for
applications that require an accelerating torque but no load torque (e.g. traction drives). This
restriction does not apply to torque control with sensor.

Current controller

Description
The default setting for the current controller is automatically derived from the motor data and
is usually adequate for most applications.
Ensure that the current controller is only optimized if:
the rating plate data are not completely known or autoidentification has not taken place
correctly. This means that no accurate motor data are available.
the motor has shut down due to overcurrent or current fluctuations.
the speed fluctuates (if the current controller is too slow, for example).
the dynamics of the current/speed controller do not appear adequate for the process.
In this case, select operating mode l/f (p1300 = 18) to optimize the following current
controller parameters with the aid of step responses:
p1715 Current controller gain
p1717 Current controller integral-time
For this purpose, record parameters r0075 and r0076 with the trace. The current setpoint
can be specified as a percentage of the rated motor current using p6890.
Note
If major adjustment of the current controller is unexpectedly necessary, this indicates that the
motor data was wrong or that there is severe non-linearity of the inductance (saturation). If
this is the case it is essential to check the motor and series reactor data.
If there is strong saturation then the current controller must not be set too rigidly. The
controller needs to be optimized to the inductance at the working point.
If the d/q axis of the motor is asymmetric (only for PEM) the current controller setting should
adjust to the axis with the lower inductance. Otherwise the other axis may become unstable.
If the converter has a sine-wave output filter then poorly dampened harmonic oscillations or
even shutdowns due to overcurrent may result. In this case, reduce the gain.

Vdc control vector

The "Vdc control" function can be activated using the appropriate measures if an overvoltage
or undervoltage is present in the DC link.
Overvoltage in the DC link
Typical cause
The drive is operating in regenerative mode and is supplying too much energy to the
DC link.
Remedy
Reduce the regenerative torque to maintain the DC link voltage within permissible
limits. With the Vdc controller activated, the converter may automatically extend the
ramp down time of a drive if the shutdown supplies too much energy to the DC link.
Undervoltage in the DC link
Typical cause
Failure of the supply voltage or supply for the DC link.

Switching Vdc_min control on/off (kinetic buffering)

In the event of a power failure, Vdc_min control is activated when the Vdc_min switch-in level
is undershot. This controls the DC link voltage and maintains it at a constant level. The motor
speed is reduced.
When the power supply is restored, the DC link voltage increases again and Vdc_min control
is deactivated at 5 % above the Vdc_min switch-on level. The motor continues operating
normally.

If the power supply is not reestablished, the motor speed continues to drop. When the
threshold in p1257 is reached, this results in a response in accordance with p1256.
Once the time threshold (p1255) has elapsed without the line voltage being reestablished, a
fault is triggered (F07406), which can be parameterized as required (factory setting: OFF3).
The Vdc_min controller can be activated for a drive. Other drives can participate in
supporting the DC link, by transferring a scaling of their speed setpoint from the controlling
drive via BICO interconnection.
Note
Ensure that the converter is not disconnected from the line supply. It could become
disconnected if, for example, a circuit breaker drops out.

Flying restart

Description
The ability to add a machine on the fly is controlled using parameter P1200 (flying restart on
= 1/off = 0). If flying restart is off (default setting) then the drive always starts with a
frequency of zero. If it is turning nevertheless then overcurrents may result.
NOTICE
Under certain conditions during encoderless operation there may be a delay between the
command to enable operation and operation itself. This occurs when
the drive is operating without an encoder
the flying restart function is active
the motor terminals are temporarily disconnected from the converter by a switch.
In this case, the closed-loop control loses the voltage and speed information and must resynchronize itself. This process may take up to 30 seconds.

Residual tacho
If operating without a rotary transducer, the speed is estimated from the motor voltages.
Since these voltages can be very low and reduce with reducing speed there is a minimum
speed for each motor, from which the speed is displayed as zero.
P6702[0] Lower standstill threshold (default = 2% of rated motor speed)
P6702[1] Upper standstill threshold (default = 3% of rated motor speed)
NOTICE
These thresholds affect the flying restart function and should only be changed if
problems are encountered when adding drives at low speeds.

6.4.5

Automatic restart

Description
The automatic restart (WEA) starts the drive/drive group automatically when power is
restored after a power failure. All faults are automatically acknowledged and the drive is
powered-up again. This function is not only restricted to line supply faults; it can also be used
to automatically acknowledge faults and to restart the motor after any fault trips. The "flying
restart" function is activated internally so that the drive can be connected to a rotating motor
shaft.
WARNING
Death, serious injury or material damage can result if motors start up unexpectedly.
If p1210 is set to a value > 1, the motors can start automatically once the power supply has
been restored. This is especially critical, if, after longer line supply failures, motors come to
a standstill (zero speed) and it is incorrectly assumed that they have been powered-down.
Ensure that the motor cannot start unexpectedly.
Note
The converter may optionally be fitted with the VSM 10 line voltage sensing module (Option
L32) in order to safely detect the return of the power supply after a power failure of any
duration and restore operational readiness.
The VSM10 is always assigned to the DO of the infeed, i.e. DFEMV. The automatic restart
itself is in the DO VECTORMV.
An uninterruptible power supply (Option L53) must be used if the converter is to restart
automatically after failure of the electronics power supply.

Special case of "Hot Standby" automatic restart


Note
The special case described here is not a WEA operating mode in the true sense (in which
error messages are acknowledged). However, in its external functionality it acts in exactly
the same way as the WEA for short power failures. Its particular advantage is its rapid
operational readiness after power is restored. The time taken to reach the load torque is
determined principally by the duration of the "Flying Restart".
The "Hot Standby" is activated when a power failure causes the DC link voltage to fall below
the PSA shutdown threshold (pulse block) but the LS remains connected.

Restart after power failure


(Hot Standby)

The "Hot Standby" is activated when a power failure causes


the DC link voltage to fall below the PSA shutdown threshold
(pulse block) (without a fault) but the LS remains connected or
if fault F30003 or F05206 has occurred in the infeed. If
additional faults are present, then these faults are also
acknowledged and when successfully acknowledged, the start
attempt is continued.
Failure of the 24 V power supply to the CU is not interpreted
as a power failure.

Setting the delay time for the start attempt (p1212)


Note
This delay time is dependent on the VSM on the infeed, as follows:
Without VSM: When the automatic restart (WEA) is active, all the faults present are
automatically acknowledged after this delay time and the ON command is generated
internally.
With VSM: When the automatic restart (WEA) is active, the system waits for the power
supply to return after this delay period within the time set in p1213 (when p1213=0, the
system waits an unlimited time for the power supply to return). When Bl: p1208 = 0/1
signal (power supply OK) all faults present are automatically acknowledged and the ON
command is generated internally.
The start attempt is successful if flying restart of the engine has been completed (r0056.4 =
1) and a further 10 seconds have expired.
If further faults occur between successful acknowledgement and the end of the startup
attempt, the WEA is interrupted.

Setting the monitoring time for line supply return (p1213)


The monitoring time starts after a power failure or fault. The drive must be operational again
within this time, otherwise a corresponding fault is generated.
Fault F07320 is displayed if the drive has not restarted successfully after the monitoring time
has expired (or a further fault occurs). Monitoring is deactivated when p1213 = 0.
If p1213 is set lower than the sum of p1212 and the additional delay time due to flying restart
and pre-charging, then fault F07320 is generated at each restart. The monitoring time must
be extended if the faults that occur cannot be immediately and successfully acknowledged
(e.g. when faults are permanently present).

Startup
1. Activate the function for drive object vector and infeed.
2. Set the WEA mode (p1210)
3. If necessary, set the BICOs (p1208)
4. Set the delay times (p1212, p1213)
5. Check the function.

Bypass function

Description
The bypass function "Synchronization with overlapping" can be used during vector control
and with induction motors without encoders.
It functions as a controller of two circuit breakers via digital outputs of the converter and
evaluates the check-back signals of the circuit-breakers via digital inputs (e.g. via TM15).
This circuit allows the motor to be operated using the converter or directly on the supply line.
The circuit breakers are activated by the converter. The check-back signals for the circuit
breaker positions have to be returned to the converter.
When the bypass function (parameter p1260=1) is activated, the motor is synchronized and
transferred to the power system and then retrieved. During the changeover, both circuit
breakers K1 and K2 are closed at the same time for a period (phase lock synchronization). A
throttle is used to uncouple the converter voltage and power system voltage, the uk value for
the throttle is 10 % +/- 2 %.


.

.

Figure 6-27

Connection example for bypass

The bypass is also shut down when one of the "OFF2" or "OFF3" control word signals is
canceled.
Exception to this:
The bypass switch can be locked as needed by a higher-level controller in such a manner
that the converter can be completely (i.e. including the control electronics) shutdown
while the motor is driven on the power system. The circuit breaker locking must be carried
out on the system side.
When a converter is restarted after POWER OFF, the status of the bypass circuit breaker
is evaluated. This allows the converter to switch directly to "ready to switch on" mode

after powering up. This is only possible if the bypass is activated via a control signal and
the control signal (p1266) is still on after the power up.
A change of the converter into "ready to switch on and bypass" mode after power up has
a higher priority than the automatic restart.
The two motor switches must be designed for switching under load.

Requirements
The bypass function is only possible during encoder-less speed control (p1300 = 20) and
with the use of an induction motor.
For synchronization with over-lapping, a VSM10 must be used.

Commissioning and activation


The bypass function is a component of the "Technology controller" function module. This
function module can be activated when you work through the commissioning wizard in
OFFLINE mode.
With OFFLINE activation, the Technology controller function module must be loaded to the
target system (1).

Transfer of the motor to the network


(Circuit breakers K1 and K2 are controlled via the converter):
In the initial state, switch K1 is closed, switch K2 is opened and the motor is operated by
the converter.
The "Command bypass" control bit (p1266) is set (e.g. by the higher-level automation).
The bypass function sets the "Synchronize" control word bit (r1261.2).
Since the bit is set while the converter is running, the "Transfer motor to supply"
synchronization process is started.

After the motor has been successfully synchronized to the line frequency, line voltage
and line phase, the synchronizing algorithm reports this status (r3819.2).
The bypass mechanism evaluates this signal and closes switch K2 (r1261.1 = 1).
Once switch K2 has reported "closed" status (r1269[1] = 1), switch K1 is opened and the
converter blocks the pulse. The converter is in Ready to Operate and bypass state.
If the ON command in this phase is taken away, the converter changes to the basic
"Ready to Switch On" status. The converter is separated from the line and the DC circuit
is discharged.

Retrieving the motor from line operation


Retrieving the motor from supply mode functions the same yet in reverse: At the start of the
process, switch K2 is closed and switch K1 is opened.
The "Command bypass" control bit is canceled (e.g. by the higher-level automation).
The bypass function sets the "Synchronize" control word bit.
Pulses are enabled. Since "Synchronize" is set before "Pulse enable", the converter
interprets this as a command to retrieve a motor from the supply and to take it over.
After the motor has been successfully synchronized to the line frequency, line voltage
and line phase, the synchronizing algorithm reports this status.
The bypass mechanism evaluates this signal and closes contactor K1.
Once switch K1 has reported "closed" status, switch K2 is opened and the motor is
operated again on the converter.

Staging function

6.4.7.1

Description of the staging function

Introduction
The bypass control is used in so-called "staging" applications.

Description
With staging, the flow rate of a pump station, for example, is divided among several motors.
All the motors can either be at rest, be controlled at the converter or run strictly on the infeed
line. There is only one converter for the entire system.
To set the flow rate, the required number of motors are powered up and switched to the line
using the bypass function. An additional motor can operate continuously on the converter
and it can stagelessly regulate the flow rate. If more output is required than the regulated
motor can deliver, it is connected to the line via the bypass function and an additional motor
is started using the now available converter. Conversely, the output can be reduced by
stopping the regulated motor and retrieving a line-driven motor, which is then regulated.

External control
For the required switching procedures, one line-side bypass switch and one converter-side
bypass switch is required for each motor. The switch-over between the individual motors is
coordinated by an external controller. Just as for a normal bypass, the converter detects only
one motor and controls its line-side and converter-side bypass switch.
The external controller's task is:
To connect to the converter the control and check-back signal of the two switches of the
motor that is currently supposed to be operated with the converter.
To keep the other motors in "Off" or "line mode" status.

Example: Staging with 4 motors

There is a staging signal, which makes it possible to switch motors without operating the line
switch (staging without staging command).

6.4.7.2

Staging without a staging command

Function Principle
The external controller connects the first motor with the converter to the line. Then it must
lock the line-side bypass switch in the "ON" status and completely shut down the converter.
Now the external controller can switch the control signals and feedback signals of the
switches to a different motor and switch on the converter again.
This motor can run in bypass or sit idle, because the converter firmware detects the status
when ramping up and its sequence control starts accordingly. The only prerequisite is that
the status must agree with the bypass setpoint command, otherwise a fault occurs.
The disadvantage of this however is that the converter must be completely shutdown during
each motor change, which can lead to very long change-over times and unnecessary wear
of the infeed switch, especially for large converters. To fulfill the requirements of staging, a
motor change must be possible in "ready for operation and bypass" status.

6.4.7.3

Staging with a staging command

Introduction
To preclude the disadvantages of "staging without a staging command," staging command
BI p2369 is initiated. It has the following characteristics.

Characteristics
When the staging signal arrives, K1 is opened and the pulses are disabled.
As long as the staging signal remains pending, the monitoring systems of the bypass
switch check-back signals in the circuit-breaker control module are frozen (i.e., checkback signal "ON/OFF" is set internally as per the "ON/OFF" command, and all other
check-back signals are set internally to High.)
When the staging signal arrives, the "check" status is forced in the bypass sequencer.
This check reads the check-back signals of the bypass switches and compares them with
the bypass command (you can find more detailed information in the Section "Arrival of
Staging-signal").

Principle of operation

6.4 Drive Functions

Presence of the staging signal (staging status)


As long as the staging signal is present, the external controller can switch the control signals
and check-back signals to a different motor.
The converter is kept in "pulse disabled" only for safety reasons, because the external
controller should have already switched to operating status "Ready to Switch On" or "Ready
to Operate" before the staging signal.
To ensure that the converter generates the right command for K2 when exiting the staging
status, the bypass sequencer in the staging status issues a command for K2, which
correspond to the check-back signal from K2.
If the check-back signal of K2 changes from 0 to 1, the converter generates an ON
command for K2. The actual control of K21, K22 must therefore be locked during the
staging of the external controller.
As long as the staging signal is present, the monitoring systems of the bypass switch checkback signals are disabled.
NOTICE
Should the staging switch-over procedure run in an uncoordinated way (e.g. K2 is closed by
the converter without the motor turning), the motor is firmly switched to the medium voltage
line.
If the over-current protection of K2 is not correctly set, the converter or the motor can
become damaged.
Ensure therefore that the over-current protection is correctly set.

Arrival of the staging signal


When the staging signal arrives, the "check" status is enabled in the bypass sequencer. This
check reads the check-back signals of the bypass switches and compares them with the
bypass command.
If both switches K1 and K2 are open and the bypass command p1266 is not set, the motor is
at rest. The converter switch K1 is closed and the controller is waiting for the operating or
bypass command.
If line switch K2 is closed and p1266 is set, the motor is in bypass mode. Control of K2 is set,
and the controller switches to operating state "Ready to Operate" and "Bypass"
If the switching status of K2 does not agree with p1266, fault F7312 is triggered.
If K1 is closed, it always triggers an error (F7311) because the converter switch can only be
controlled by the converter.
If the motor is running in bypass mode, the controller of the line-side switch K2 must be
locked in the ON status before the external controller sets the command p2369.

Procedure
Lock the controller K21 in the ON status (only for initial status "ready to operate and
bypass")
Set the staging signal p2369.
The converter takes back the control from K1.
The control and check-back signals change from K11 and K21 to K12 and K22
If the motors have different characteristics, a motor data set change-over must be
carried out.
Set the command p1266 according to the status of motor 2.
Reset the staging signal p2369.
The converter controls switch K12 or K22 depending on the status of motor 2.
Only if motor 2 was in bypass: Release the lock of K22.
The converter now has control over motor 2 and can synchronize it to the line or
retrieve it from the line and continue to operate it (regulated) or stop it.
The following diagram clarifies the 4 possible transitions between 2 motors:

This function supports options L51 "Output-side disconnector" and L52 "Output-side circuit

The output-side disconnector increases the safety of staff, converter and motor, e.g. during

redundancy changeover. The switch used depends on the changeover time required or
whether there are higher isolation requirements.
Option L51 facilitates the "Safe torque off" function which frequently uses switching devices
between the converter and motor even in modern plant engineering systems. All safety
functions (e.g. disconnector off status message) are carried out using external modules (e.g.
protection-safety combinations). The drive only supports activation and deactivation of the
disconnector, which is coordinated by its own sequencer. The function described here
should therefore not be confused with the "Safe Torque Off" safety function of other
SINAMICS devices and for this reason is not relevant to certification.
Output-side circuit breaker L52 is, for example, not required in a permanent-magnet
synchronous motor (PEM). Unlike the disconnector, it also has the function of protecting the
converter. Unlike other types of motor, the PEM constantly discharges voltage if it is not
running. Feedback to the DC link, e.g. in case of a fault, can therefore only be prevented by
a switch between the converter and the motor. The same is true if the PEM is operating in
the field weakening range: with a pulse block field weakening is lost via the negative fieldgenerating current and the machine can discharge a terminal voltage which is far above the
rated voltage. This voltage may exceed the capacity of the converter and must therefore be
disconnected by a switch.
Dimensioning of the switch is project-dependent and must be appropriate for the application.
In particular, the circuit breaker must be dimensioned for the currents which may arise when
a fault occurs.
A disconnector can only switch very small currents. Therefore, it may be necessary to wait
until the current has fallen to almost zero before opening it. The main task is to disconnect
the electricity supply. Circuit breakers, on the other hand, can switch short-circuit currents.
The switch response occurs immediately on the switch command. The type of switch used
will depend on the option selected.

Overview
Both options L51 and L52 are realized separately and in principle may be selected together.
The diagram below gives an overview of the possible switches at the converter output
(together with option L29 "Bypass control").

operation enable signal STWA.3 is set in status S3. This alarm also warns the operator that
a switch-on condition is missing.
For the user, the control system described has the following features:
The BI must be set so that S3 Ready to run and S4 Running are reached when the
system is switched on.
In status S3 Ready to run, the disconnector may be switched on and off with the Bl in
order to give the safe disconnection required. It must be switched on again before
operation.
If the BI is fixed parameterized to 1, the disconnector is switched on when the system is
first activated.
It remains On (even when the converter is switched on and off) until it is switched off
externally or the parameterization is removed. The purpose of this is to save on switching
cycles, particularly when converter faults occur.

peak terminal voltage value is not significantly higher than the DC link voltage in order to

The circuit breaker switching status is applied as a switch-on condition in r0046 "Infeed
missing enable signal". Alarm A7919 is generated if
the switch is switched off (because the enable signal via p6717 is missing or because
PEM speed is too high), and if operation enable signal STWA.3 is set in status S3.
the switch should be switched on (in S3a, S3, S7) but the enable signal is missing
because the PEM speed is too high.
For the user, the actuation system described has the following features:
The BI must be set so that S3 Ready to run and S4 Running are reached when the
system is switched on.
In status S3 Ready to run, the ALS (output-side circuit breaker) may be switched on and
off as required like a disconnector using the BI. It must be switched on again before
operation.
In operating status S4, S5a and S5b the ALS cannot be switched off via the BI; this
prevents a "hard shut-down". If the user wishes to open the output-side circuit breaker
ALS as quickly as possible during operation, he must follow the normal switch-off
procedure and cancel first the operation command (STWA.3) then the on command
(STWA.0).
For all faults with response OFF2, the output-side switch is also switched off; this is also
the case for responses OFF1/3 if status S1 is reached from the fault once the system has
stopped.
In status S3, if the BI is set to 1 and the operation enable signal has been given but the
sequence controller has not yet activated the output-side circuit breaker (ALS) because
the PEM speed is too high, operation will restart without any further input from the user
once the speed has dropped.

NOTICE
If the terminal voltage of the PEM (permanent-magnet motor) is too high when the motor
switch is switched on, the converter switches off using OFF2 and crowbar firing. Surge
currents on powering up may cause damage to the converter.
A rotary encoder is essential for overvoltage protection of the PEM.
At setting p0643 = 0 operation is impossible without a rotary encoder or if the encoder is
faulty.
At setting p0643 = 1 operation is possible without a rotary encoder or if the encoder is
faulty.
Setting p0643 = 1 is only permissible if the dimensioning of the converter and motor and
the type of loading guarantee that the supply voltage generated by the PEM cannot exceed
the maximum permitted level.
A supply voltage which is higher than the permitted level may be produced under two
circumstances:
The closed-loop control system is operating the PEM above the rated speed in the field
weakening range. If a pulse block occurs (during operation or after a fault), the PEM
generates a terminal voltage which is higher than the rated voltage
The load itself can accelerate the idling motor over its rated speed
If one of these circumstances occurs, the overvoltage protection must not be switched off
with p0643 = 1. The motor must be operated with a rotary encoder.
Fit the system with a rotary encoder as described above if the dimensioning and
dynamometer cannot prevent these non-permissible terminal voltages from occurring in the
PEM.

Signaling
A missing enable signal for the motor switch/disconnector is indicated by alarm A07919.
If the switch is enabled, it switches on. The alarm is acknowledged.

Switching frequency reduction

Description
For heavy starting the switching frequency can be reduced to minimize losses when using
the motor inverter at low output frequencies.
The switching frequency is reduced linearly and incrementally for output frequencies below a
parameterizable threshold. The number of reduction steps can also be parameterized. The
factory setting is that switching frequency is not active initially (number of reduction steps
p6975 = 0, output frequency threshold p6976 = 0 Hz).
The frequency range below the frequency threshold p6976 is divided into ranges of equal
size. The number of ranges corresponds to the number of reduction steps p6975 (maximum
5). The user determines the initial reduction of switching frequency by choosing the number

of reduction steps. 5 reduction steps mean an initial reduction rate of 5 (switching frequency
reduced by 50%), 4 reduction steps an initial reduction rate of 4 (40%), etc.
If the output frequency increases, the switching frequency is reduced by less and less until
the rated switching frequency is reached on exceeding the threshold.

Example: Switching frequency reduction for two different numbers of reduction steps

The maximum parameterizable output frequency threshold depends on the set rated
switching frequency and is automatically limited when parameterization is unsuitable.
Irrespective of the parameterization, the switching frequency reduction remains restricted to
space vector approximation (SVA) mode, i.e. the switching frequency reduction has no effect
once it leaves the SVA range.
Fine adjustment factor p6961 is available except for incremental switching frequency
reduction. Thus the switching frequency in the entire SVA range can be multiplied by a fixed
factor between 0.8 and 1.2.

Technology function: friction characteristic curve

Description
The friction characteristic curve compensates for the friction torque of the motor and the
driven machine. A friction characteristic curve enables the speed controller to be precontrolled and improves the response.
10 interpolation points are used for each friction characteristic curve. The coordinates of an
interpolation point are described by a speed (p382x) and a torque parameter (p383x)
(interpolation point 1 = p3820 and p3830).

Characteristics
10 interpolation points are available for mapping the friction characteristic curve.
An automatic function allows you to record the friction characteristic curve (record friction
characteristic curve).
A connector output (r3841) can be applied as friction torque (p1569).
The friction characteristic curve can be activated and deactivated (p3842).

Commissioning via parameters


In p382x, speeds for the measurement are predefined as a function of the maximum speed
p1082 during initial commissioning. They can be changed appropriately.
The automatic friction characteristic plot can be activated using p3845. The characteristic
curve is then plotted the next time that it is enabled.
The following settings are possible:
p3845 = 0 Friction characteristic curve recording deactivated
p3845 = 1 Friction characteristic curve recording activated, all directions of rotation
The friction characteristic curve is recorded in both directions of rotation. The results of the
positive and negative measurement are averaged and entered in p383x.
p3845 = 2 Friction characteristic curve recording activated, positive direction of rotation
p3845 = 3 Friction characteristic curve recording activated, negative direction of rotation
DANGER
The motor can run at up to the maximum speed. This may result in death, serious injury,
or material damage.
When the friction characteristic curve is plotted, the drive can cause the motor to move.
As a result, the motor may reach maximum speed.
Ensure that the EMERGENCY STOP functions are fully operational during
commissioning. Observe the appropriate safety regulations.

Commissioning via starter


In STARTER, the friction characteristic curve can be started up via the dialog under
"Functions".

Thermal motor protection

Description
The main task of motor protection is to identify critical situations. If alarm thresholds are
exceeded, the user can set parameterizable response options (p0610) that enable continued
operation (e.g. with reduced power) and prevent immediate shutdown.
12t motor monitoring can be activated without a temperature sensor. This does not
reduce power.
Values measured by motor temperature sensors can be obtained and monitored by
connecting and evaluating temperature modules by means of terminal modules.
Automatic power reduction can take place based on these actual values.

I2t monitoring
The functionality is activated using parameter p6550. The alarm and fault thresholds can be
entered in parameters p0605 and p0604. Parameter p0606 is used to enter a time stage
which also triggers a fault if the alarm threshold is continuously exceeded.
For 12t monitoring, the thermal time constant of the motor p6653 must be 1/4 of the time
required by the motor to reach 98% of its rated temperature at rated voltage, rated current,
rated frequency and ambient temperature. Additionally, in a self-cooled motor (p0335 = 0)
the cooling time constant when stationary p6654 that is entered must be 1/4 of the time
required by the motor to cool from rated temperature to ambient temperature.
Furthermore, for self-cooled machines, a capacity utilization characteristic curve for
operation at less than rated speed must be entered using parameters p6555, p6556 and
p6557.

Power reduction
This functionality enables thermal monitoring of two motor temperature sensors. These are
imported via a terminal module and connected to connectors p0603.0 and p0603.1. A
characteristic curve for temperature-dependent power reduction to 75% can be established
using parameters p0616 and p0618 together with p0617 and p0619. The reduction output
value is connected to power limiting p1555; an alarm or fault is triggered when the thresholds
are reached.

Circuit breaker switching cycle

Description
This function is an extension of the "circuit breaker actuation" feature.
The software includes two counters per circuit breaker which record circuit breaker switching
operations under load and without load. The two counter readings are added and compared
with a freely parameterizable threshold (p6710), then an alarm is generated (F7322).
Two thresholds (p6710 and p6711) and therefore two alarms (F7322 and F7323) are
provided. The first alarm warns the user that the service life of the circuit breaker is nearing a
critical range. The second alarm indicates that the critical range has been reached.
No fault is displayed when the second threshold is exceeded because it is sufficient to
display the parameters in the experts list. The parameter values are saved in the PSA after
every change to the counter readings.
There are three different converter and circuit breaker combinations:

Description

The counters are in the zero position and the appropriate counter increments after each
switching operation.

For the used circuit breaker, the number of switching cycles with and without load must be
estimated and entered in the appropriate parameters (p6710, p6711).
This also applies if the converter PSA is changed.
The counter positions must be read from the "old" PSA and transferred to the "new" one.

The counter for the new circuit breaker must be returned to zero. Access level 3 is
required to do this.

The setting parameters (p6710, p6711) are available from access level 3, whereas the
visualization parameters may be accessed from level 1.
An available line side switch may be used in retrofit systems. Three parameters are therefore
provided for modifying counter readings.
The first parameter (p6714) contains the number of load-free switching cycles.
The second (p6715) contains the number of switching cycles under load.
The third parameter is used to transfer these two values.
Transfer of these parameter values is only permitted at access level 3.

Counter conditions
Whether switching should take place with or without load depends on the type of
disconnection.
Operational disconnection (OFF1 and OFF3) counts as switching without load.
Fault shutdown (OFF2 response) counts as switching under load.
A factor can be set using p6712 to take account of the higher loading on the circuit breaker
when switching under load. This factor affects the reading on the "switching cycles under
load" counter.

Startup
Set the parameters correctly.

Power unit redundancy mode

Description
Redundancy mode can be used to enable operation to continue despite the failure of one
power unit connected in parallel. The DRIVE-CLiQ cables must be connected radially so that
the failed power unit can be replaced. It may be necessary to use a DRIVE-CLiQ HUB
Module (DMC20). The failed power unit must be deactivated via p0125 or via the binector
input p0895, before it is removed. When a replacement power unit has been installed it must
be activated accordingly.

Characteristics
Redundancy for up to 3 power units.
Power unit can be de-activated via parameter (p0125)
Power unit can be de-activated via binector input (p0895).

Prerequisites
Maximum number of parallel power units is 3.
Minimum firmware release 2.5.
Parallel connection of power units with suitable power reserves.

Integration into the system


The boot function with partial topologies is integrated in the system as follows.

Parallel circuit configuration

Description
Switching power units in parallel is a simple method of extending the power spectrum of
drives beyond the power of the individual power units.

Characteristics
The converter supports the parallel connection of power units on the motor side in order to
extend the power spectrum.
The main features of parallel circuits are:
Parallel circuits with up to three power units on one motor with separate winding systems.

Functions
6.6 Hardware-related optional functions
Simple commissioning because no special parameterization is necessary. Only the MLFB
number of the converter is relevant.
The power units connected in parallel must be connected to the same CU.
Individual power units can be diagnosed (troubleshooting) via p7100 ff.

Startup
During commissioning, power units connected in parallel are treated like a power unit on the
motor side. With parallel connection, the parameter display for the actual values changes
only slightly. Instead, suitable "total values" are derived from the individual values for the
power units.
In STARTER, parallel connection of the motor module is activated via the Wizard. You can
also select parallel connection when choosing the power unit.

If Vdc max control is enabled for the machine (p1240 = 1) check that p6813 is at least 3
% smaller than p1241
Test mode can be activated using p6650 = 30.
An actuation signal (positive edge on p6651) starts pre-charging. On reaching the DC
link voltage setpoint, the brake controller synchronizes with the modulation ranges
specified in p6815.0 /.1. The falling partial DC link voltages (r0070.1 /.2) can be
recorded and checked using the starter trace.

Description
A recooling unit (RKA) is responsible for cooling and (non-) conductivity in the de-ionized
water cooling circuit of a water-cooled power unit. The unit is controlled and monitored by a
PLC which is part of the recooling unit. The "recooling unit" function module described here
forms an interface between the closed-loop control and the external control (open-loop)
(PLC) of the recooling unit. The recooling unit is controlled via terminals (e.g. Control Unit,
TM31).
Conductivity may be monitored via a sensor which provides an analog signal which is read
by the PSA (presetting) or by a sensor which provides two digital signals (conductivity alarm
threshold/fault threshold exceeded) which are read by the TM or CU via BICO connections.
When evaluating the analog value, the recooling unit function module constantly monitors
the conductivity of the de-ionized water. If the alarm threshold is exceeded, the module
automatically switches the recooling unit on and switches it off again when the level has
fallen below the alarm threshold by one hysteresis value.
The de-ionized water intake temperature is monitored constantly.
If it falls below a fixed value of 5C, the recooling unit switches on automatically to
prevent the water from freezing. It does not switch off until the temperature has risen
above a fixed value of 7C.
An OFF2 is generated if it exceeds the fault threshold 1 value (hardware description
data). However, the recooling unit does not switch off until the temperature has fallen
below the fault threshold by a fixed hysteresis value of 2K.
If it exceeds the value for fault threshold 2 (fault threshold 1 + 2K), the recooling unit is
switched off immediately.
The intake temperature is also monitored at a maximum alarm threshold (p6299).
The fault triggered when evaluating a leakage can be re-parameterized into an alarm signal.

Functions
6.6 Hardware-related optional functions
Separate test mode for main fan and redundant main fan (p6650, p6651) without rampdown time.

Description
The fans are responsible for cooling an air-cooled power unit. They are actuated via
terminals (e.g. Control Unit, TM31). The fan control function module actuates the fans and
monitors the feedback signals.
The fan monitoring configuration uses a configuration word in the hardware description data
which can be read using the IBS tool (p6802).
The fans are normally monitored by one or two pressure differential sensors. The pressure
differential is monitored statically for fault and alarm thresholds and dynamically for changes
in pressure differential.
Slow changes in pressure differential are also monitored to provide advance warning of
pollution of the filter mats.
The actual differential pressure values are also monitored to detect wire breakage.
All threshold values are preset via hardware description data and may be adjusted via
Commissioning - Tools (Starter, Scout, OP) .
The fan motor protection switch and/or fan speed may also be monitored as an option. If
pressure differential monitoring is active, only one alarm is generated when these feedback
signals are missing. If there is no pressure differential monitoring, a fault is generated if fan
feedback signals are missing.
The redundant fan is automatically activated if a redundant fan is configured and the
pressure differential alarm threshold is not reached on starting the main fan, or the alarm
threshold is not reached during operation, or feedback signals from the fan speed monitoring
system or motor protection switches are missing. An alarm signal will be generated.
In order to guarantee availability, the redundant fan will be switched on for a set period at
regular intervals during operation of the main fan. The frequency of duration of operation are
specified in the hardware description data. No alarm signal is given during this cyclical
operation.
The intake temperature is also monitored at a maximum alarm threshold (p6299) and a fault
threshold (hardware description data).

Ancillary fan monitoring

Description
The ancillary fans are responsible for cooling the control cabinet and for additional cooling of
the rectifier cabinet, the inverter cabinet and the braking controller cabinet.
The function module monitors the fans while they are running. As no hardware configuration
word is defined, unassigned binary feedback signals must be permanently set to high.
(X222.8, X222.5, X222.4 or X222.1 to 24V or PSA simulation mode).
Monitoring is activated
by feedback from the fan contactor or
by a report from the PSA that the high-speed grounding switch has been triggered.
When the fans are being monitored via the motor protection switch, the binary input for the
fan protection feedback must be set permanently high (X221.4 to24V or PSA simulation
mode).
Ancillary fans that are in test mode can be switched on and off from the function module via
the PSA.

Characteristics
The ancillary fans are monitored irrespective of the type of cooling.
The ancillary fans are switched on by the PT100 evaluator or the PSA if the high-speed
grounding switch has been triggered.
Up to four fan speed or motor protection switch reports from the ancillary fan (control
cabinet, rectifier, inverter and brake chopper) are monitored via digital inputs on the PSA.

Technology controller

6.7.2.1

Description/Commissioning

Description
The technology controller is designed as a PID controller,
whereby the differentiator can be switched to the control deviation channel or the actual
value channel (factory setting).
The P, I, and D components can be set separately. A value of 0 deactivates the
corresponding component.
Setpoints can be specified via two connector inputs. The setpoints can be scaled via
parameters (p2255 and p2256). A ramp-function generator in the setpoint channel can be
used to set the setpoint ramp-up/ramp-down time via parameters p2257 and p2258. The
setpoint and actual value channel each have a smoothing element. The smoothing time
can be set via parameters p2261 and p2265.
The setpoints can be specified via separate fixed setpoints (p2201 to p2215), the
motorized potentiometer, or via the field bus (e.g. PROFIBUS).
Pre-control can be integrated via a connector input.

Functions
6.7 Function modules
The output can be scaled via parameter p2295 and the control direction reversed. It can
be limited via parameters p2291 and p2292 and interconnected as required via a
connector output (r2294).
The actual value can be integrated, for example, via an analog input on the TB30.
If a PID controller has to be used for control reasons, the D component is switched to the
setpoint/actual value difference (p2263 = 1) unlike in the factory setting. This is always
necessary when the D component is to be effective, even if the reference variable changes.
The D component can only be activated when p2274 > 0.

Characteristics
Simple control functions can be implemented with the technology controller, e.g.:
Level control
Temperature control
Dancer position control
Pressure control
Flow control
Simple closed-loop control without higher-level controller
Tension control
The technology controller features:
Two scalable setpoints
Scalable output signal
Separate fixed values
Separate motorized potentiometer
The output limits can be activated and deactivated via the ramp-function generator.
The D component can be switched to the control deviation or actual value channel.
The motorized potentiometer of the technology controller is only active when the drive
pulses are enabled.

Commissioning with STARTER


The "technology controller" function module can be activated via the commissioning Wizard
or the drive configuration (configure DDS).
You can check the actual configuration in parameter r0108.16.

This is carried out by means of a variable-speed pump in conjunction with a sensor for
measuring the level.
The level is determined via an analog input (e.g. AI0 on TB30) and sent to the technology
controller. The level setpoint is defined in a fixed setpoint. The resulting controlled variable is
used as the setpoint for the speed controller.

Load monitoring

Description of load monitoring


This function monitors power transmission between the motor and the working machine.
Typical applications include V-belts, flat belts, or chains that loop around the belt pulleys or
cog wheels for drive and outgoing shafts and transfer the peripheral speeds and forces.
Load monitoring can be used here to identify blockages in the working machine and
interruptions to the power transmission.
During load monitoring, the current speed/torque curve is compared with the programmed
speed/torque curve (p2182 to p2190). If the current value is outside the programmed
tolerance bandwidth, a fault or alarm is triggered depending on parameter p2181. The fault
or alarm message can be delayed by means of parameter p2192 to prevent false alarms
caused by brief transitional states.

Extended diagnostic functions

6.8.1

Description
Every Powerstack has eight 12-bit D/A converters on it that represent the input range 0x000
to 0xFFF as 0 to 10 V. The outputs can be tapped at terminals X231 and X232:
Output 0: X231.15 to ground X231.16
Output 1: X231.14 to ground X231.13
Output 2: X231.11 to ground X231.12
Output 3: X231.10 to ground X231.9
Output 4: X232.15 to ground X232.16
Output 5: X232.14 to ground X232.13
Output 6: X232.11 to ground X232.12
Output 7: X232.10 to ground X232.9
The variables can be recorded with ordinary commercial analog recorder. Since the analog
outputs are recorded in the 500s grid, the recorder should have a scanning frequency of at
least 2kHz. Otherwise scanning errors may occur.

Selection of signals
The sources of the signals should be set in parameters p6840[PDS] to p6847 [PDS] (access
level 3). The starter suggests a suitable selection list for each input. The 0% and 100%
values can also be set to calibrate the recorder. This allows the recorder offset and scaling to
be checked.

Offset and scaling


Floating point signals are automatically standardized by the Bico function. The reference
values are stored in parameters p2000 to p2004. Further information on the standardization
of Bico parameters is given in the "Parameterizing/addressing" section under the heading
"BICO technology: interconnection / standardization of signals".
Example: p6840[0] = r63 (actual speed), P2000 = 3000 rpm, P6856[0] = 1.0
10V corresponds to 3000 rpm
0V corresponds to -3000 rpm
If the mapping range is changed, the offset (P6870[PDS] to P6877[PDS]) and scaling factor
(P6860[PDS] to P6867[PDS]) must be changed accordingly. This results in the following
mapping range:
8>9@

Bit fields and integer values


Bit fields are associated bitwise with the AND mask (P6850[PDS] to P6857[PDS]). The value
1 is only displayed if all the bits in the bit field that are selected by the AND mask are set.
Otherwise the value is 0. The signal is then modified like a floating point signal with the offset
and scaling factor and is output.
The AND mask must be set to zero to output integer values. The scaling factor should be set
to the inverse value of the desired mapping area.
Example: If the lower 8 bits of an integer value are output, the factor must be set to "2-8" =
1/256 = 0.00390625. Then value 0xff receives the 10V and 0x00 receives the 5V.

A detailed summary and detailed information on alarms, error and system messages for your
converter can be found in the Sinamics List Manual.

External alarms and faults

Key parameterizable fault and system messages


With the terminal blocks TM15/TM31, there are 24 terminals. With the starter, a selection
can be made of any signals that are supposed to be displayed or which protective devices
are supposed to be triggered. The list of parameterized faults and alarms can be found in the
list manual in the "faults and alarms" section.

7.3

Message from the grounding switch

Switching statuses "MPGS safe ON" and "MPGS safe OFF".


The switching status of the make-proof grounding switch is indicated to the sequencer (D435
or CU320) by the messages "MPGS safe ON" and "MPGS safe OFF" via a TM15 module.
These messages are required for displaying the status and for interlocking the circuit
breaker.

Enabling the converter


The doors for the circuit breaker are unlocked by means of a serial link between the "Safe
ON messages" from the floating contacts of the make-proof grounding switch and the
enabling signal from the open-loop/closed-loop control.
The enabling signal from the open-loop/closed-loop control is reported when an insulating
resistor sets itself near 0 after the converter has been grounded or when the signal "Status
fault ground fault monitoring (stator)" has tripped.
This concept ensures a high degree of protection against residual voltages.
When you switch on the converter, make sure that:

The doors are closed.
The make-proof grounding switch is open.
The insulation resistance is in a normal range.
If these conditions are fulfilled, you can start the converter.

Insulation monitoring
The insulation monitor IRDH275-635 (Bender) has an external reset input. This input is
interconnected in such a way that the error messages are automatically acknowledged at the
insulation monitoring device.
If the converter ground is removed, the insulation resistance changes from short circuit to the
system-specific setpoint.
The error message is acknowledged.

Indicating and rectifying faults

Overview
The cabinet device has a number of protective functions that protect the converter from
damage in the event of a fault (faults and alarms).

Indicating faults and alarms


The converter indicates a fault by reporting the corresponding fault(s) and/or alarm(s) on the
cabinet device operator panel. Faults are indicated by the red "FAULT" LED and a fault
screen is automatically displayed. You can use the F1 Help function to call up information
about the cause of the fault and how to remedy it. You can use F5 Ack. to acknowledge a
stored fault.
Any alarms are displayed by the yellow flashing "Signal" LED. The system also displays a
note in the status bar of the operator panel, which provides information on the cause.
Every fault and alarm is entered in the fault/alarm buffer along with time the error occurred
and the time it was rectified. The time stamp refers to the relative system time in milliseconds
(r0969).

What is a fault?
A fault is a message from the converter indicating an error or other exceptional (unwanted)
status. This could be caused by a fault within the converter or an external fault triggered, for
example, from the winding temperature monitor for the asynchronous motor. The faults are
displayed and can be reported to a higher-level control system via PROFIBUS. In the factory
default setting, the message "converter fault" is also sent to a relay output. Once you have
rectified the cause of the fault, you have to acknowledge the fault message.

What is an alarm?
An alarm is the response to a fault condition identified by the converter. It does not result in
the converter being switched off and does not have to be acknowledged. Alarms are "self
acknowledging", that is, they are reset automatically when the cause of the alarm has been
eliminated.

BICO technology: Interconnecting signals

Description
Every drive contains a large number of interconnectable input and output variables and
internal control variables.
BICO technology (Binector Connector Technology) allows the drive to be adapted to a wide
variety of conditions.
Digital and analog signals, which can be connected freely by means of BICO parameters,
are identified by the prefix BI, BO, CI or CO in their parameter name. These parameters are
identified accordingly in the parameter list or in the function diagrams.
Note
The STARTER parameterization and commissioning tool is recommended when using BICO
technology.

Binectors, BI: Binector Input, BO: Binector Output


A binector is a digital (binary) signal without a unit that can assume the value 0 or 1.
Binectors are subdivided into binector inputs (signal sink) and binector outputs (signal
source).

Connectors, CI: Connector Input, CO: Connector Output


A connector is a digital signal, e.g. in 32-bit format. It can be used to depict words (16 bits),
double words (32 bits) or analog signals. Connectors are subdivided into connector inputs
(signal sink) and connector outputs (signal source).
The options for interconnecting connectors are restricted to ensuring that performance is not
adversely affected.

Identification of Terminal Modules according to their topology


Note
Nomenclature of Terminal Modules TM15/TM31
The Terminal Modules are identified (e.g., TM31_1) according to their arrangement in the
topology.
Note
Nomenclature of item codes
Item codes are distinguished by means of count variables according to their topology in the
relevant device.
For standardization of the item codes, the following applies: [=nHC-A11] where n = 1, 2, 3, 4,
etc.
Note
Nomenclature of the digital inputs and outputs (DI/DO)
The numbers of the digital inputs and outputs (DI/DO) correspond to the numbers in the
expert list.

Glossary
Access level
The drive is protected from unauthorized access using the access levels. The parameters
are divided into different access levels. The access level first needs to be set in order to
display and change a parameter using the BOP.

Adjustable parameters
These parameters are write/read parameters.

Advanced Operator Panel (AOP)


Operator panel for SINAMICS drive units.
The AOP enables user-friendly commissioning, diagnostics, and operator input for the drive.
The AOP30 is connected to the RS232 interface of the Control Unit and has a multi-line LCD
display.

Alarm
An alarm is the response to a potential or expected fault condition detected by the drive that
does not cause the drive to switch off and does not have to be acknowledged. The alarm
mechanism is specified in the PROFIdrive profile. The drive sends a pending alarm to the
control system via a bit in the status word.

Analog input
Terminal to which an external analog voltage signal (e.g. -10 V to +10 V) or a current signal
(e.g. 0 to 20 mA) can be connected. An A/D converter forms an internal software signal from
this signal. The analog inputs may be provided by the TMxx terminal modules, for example.

Analog output
Terminal at which an analog voltage signal (e.g. -10 V to +10 V) or a current signal (e.g. 0 to
20 mA) is output. The signal is formed by converting an internal software signal using an A/D
converter. The analog outputs may be provided by the TMxx terminal modules, for example.

Automatic restart
After a power failure, the automatic restart function automatically restarts a converter when
the supply voltage recovers. It does not require acknowledgement of the power failure fault.

Glossary

BICO technology
The BICO technology method is used for freely interconnecting process data via "standard"
drive parameterization.

BOP
A simple, small operator panel with a numeric display and a few keys that can be plugged in
to the control unit.

CompactFlash card
Memory card for non-volatile storage of the drive software and associated parameters. The
memory card can be plugged into the Control Unit from outside.

Control Unit
Central control module in which the closed-loop and open-loop control functions for one or
more SINAMICS Line Modules and/or Motor Modules are implemented.

Data set
Parameters can be grouped together in a data set. This allows a range of use cases to be
implemented by parameterizing and switching between the data sets. The individual data
sets are entered as "indexed parameters". Switchover is carried out using input signals.

DC link
The component of the converter (or converter system) that connects the input current
converter (rectifier) and the output current converter (one or more inverters).
With voltage source DC link inverters such as SINAMICS devices, a constant DC voltage is
present in the DC link (rectified supply voltage).

DC link voltage
Voltage in a frequency converter's DC link.

Digital input
Input terminal for a +24 V control signal.

Digital output
Output terminal for a +24 V control signal or a relay output.

Direction of rotation
When looking at the front of the outgoing motor shaft, the following applies:

Shaft rotates clockwise - positive direction of rotation


Shaft rotates counter-clockwise - negative direction of rotation

Drive object(DO)
A drive object is a self-contained software function with its own parameters and, if
necessary, its own faults and alarms. Drive objects can be provided as standard (e.g. onboard I/O), or can be added individually or multiply (e.g. servo control). As a rule, each drive
object has its own STARTER window for parameterization and diagnostic purposes.

Encoder
An encoder is a measuring system that captures actual values for the speed and/or angular
or relative positions and makes them available for electronic processing. Depending on their
mechanical design, encoders can be built into the motor (motor encoder) or mounted on the
external mechanics (external encoder). Depending on the type of motion, a distinction is
made between rotary encoders (sometimes called "shaft encoders") and translatory
encoders (e.g., linear position encoders). In terms of measured value provision, a distinction
is made between "absolute encoders" (code encoders) and -> "incremental encoders". See > "Incremental encoder TTL/HTL" -> "Incremental encoder sin/cos 1Vpp" -> "Resolver".
Incremental position and speed encoder. Unlike the absolute encoder, this encoder does not
output an actual position value signal corresponding to the absolute position, but instead
outputs incremental "delta position or angular signals". There are three types of incremental
encoders: the incremental encoder TTL/HTL, the incremental encoder sin/cos 1 Vpp, and the
resolver.
Incremental position and speed encoder (incremental encoder), which usually produces two
pulse trains (tracks) offset at 90 degrees with square-wave output signals and generally also
one zero pulse per revolution. The output signals have TTL levels (in most cases +5 V
RS422 differential signals; TTL = Transistor-Transistor Logic) or HTL levels (+15 or +24 V
logic level; HTL = High Level Transistor Logic).
A high-resolution optical sine/cosine encoder that can be installed in 1FK6 motors as a motor
encoder, for example.
The following signals are normally output:
Two signals offset by 90 degrees, each with 2,048 sinusoidal signal periods per
revolution as differential signals with an amplitude of 1 Vpp (A/B sinusoidal encoder
tracks).
A reference signal (zero pulse) per revolution as a differential signal with an amplitude of
0.5 Vpp.
With certain types, two additional sinusoidal signal periods offset by 90 degrees as
differential signals with an amplitude of 1 Vpp (C/D track).
To determine the actual position/angular value, the zero crossings of the sinusoidal encoder
tracks are evaluated first (rough evaluation, e.g., in total 4 x 2,048 = 8,192 zero crossings
per revolution). In addition, a fine evaluation can be performed with analog amplitude
detection. Through a combination of rough and fine evaluations, resolutions of more than
1,000,000 increments per encoder revolution can be achieved. Typical sin/cos encoders
include, for example: ERN1387 and ERN1381.

Glossary

Resolver
Extremely mechanically and electrically robust and cost-efficient motor encoder that does not
require any integrated electronics and operates purely according to the electromagnetic
principle: One sine and one cosine signal are induced in each of the two coils offset by 90
degrees. The resolver supplies all of the signals required for speed-controlled operation of
the converter or for position control. The number of sine and cosine periods supplied per
revolution is equal to the number of pole pairs of the resolver. On a two-pole resolver, the
evaluation electronics can output an additional zero pulse for each encoder revolution, which
enables unique assignment of the position information with respect to an encoder revolution.
A two-pole resolver can be used as a single-turn encoder. Two-pole resolvers are suitable
for motors with any number of poles. With multi-pole resolvers, the pole pair numbers of the
motor and the resolver are always identical, which means that multi-pole resolvers ensure a
higher resolution than two-pole resolvers.

Fault
An unintended status that is identified and displayed by the drive controller or can be sent to
a higher-level controller. A fault normally causes the drive to shut down. In certain cases an
alternative reaction can be configured using the appropriate parameter. Faults must always
be acknowledged and the correct procedure for clearing them is specified by PROFIdrive.

Firmware
Firmware is the software saved on a CompactFlash card that is required for operating a
SINAMICS drive.

Firmware version
The version of the software for the control unit saved on the CompactFlash card. The
firmware versions of the individual components are displayed using different parameters.

Flying restart
Following power-up, the flying restart function automatically switches a converter into any
motor connected downstream. When switching into a running motor the motor first needs to
be remagnetized by an induction motor. With drives not equipped with an encoder, a search
for the current speed is also carried out. The current speed setpoint in the ramp-function
generator is then set to the current actual speed value. The ramp-up to the final speed
setpoint starts with this value. The flying restart function can help to shorten the ramp-up
procedure following power-up (if the load is still running down). Application example: After a
power failure, a fan drive can be quickly reconnected to the running fan impeller by means of
the flying restart function.

LOCAL mode
In LOCAL mode the user control unit (for example an AOP30) has master control over the
drive.

Master control
Master control is usually assigned to a higher-level controller (e.g. PROFIBUS master). To
operate a drive using the STARTER commissioning tool, master control will occasionally
have to be assigned to the PC, after which master control is returned to the higher-level
controller.

Motor
For the electric motors that can be driven, a basic distinction is made between rotary and
linear motors with regard to their direction of motion, and between synchronous and
asynchronous motors with regard to their electromagnetic operating principle. The motors
are connected to motor modules.

Motor Module
A motor module is a power unit (DC-AC inverter) that provides the power supply for the
motor(s) connected to it. Power is supplied via the DC link on the drive unit. A motor module
must be connected to a control unit via DRIVE-CLiQ. The open-loop and closed-loop control
functions for the motor module are stored in the control unit.

Output frequency
Frequency of the sinusoidal output voltage from a converter.

Parameter
Variable used on the drive system that the user can read and, in some cases, write. A
parameter meets the drive specifications contained in the PROFIdrive profile.

Pre-charging
Charging the DC link capacitors using resistors. Pre-charging is normally performed from the
feeding supply network, but can also be performed from a pre-charged DC link (DC
coupling).

PROFIBUS
Field bus standardized in accordance with IEC 61158, Sections 2 to 6.
PROFIBUS stands for Process Field Bus. PROFIBUS is a multi-vendor standard for the
networking of field devices (e.g., PLC, drives, actuators, or sensors).

PROFIdrive
PROFIBUS profile specified for speed and position-controlled drives by the PROFIBUS User
Organization (German: PNO). The latest version is the PROFIdrive V3 profile.

Project wizard
The project wizard provides assistance when creating a project by guiding users through the
configuration settings step-by-step.

REMOTE mode
In REMOTE mode a higher-level controller (for example a customer terminal strip or a
PROFIBUS master) has master control over the drive.

Sensor Module (SMC)


Hardware module for evaluating speed/position encoder signals and providing detected
actual values as numerical values at a DRIVE-CLiQ socket.

Servo control
This type of closed-loop control enables operation with a high dynamic response and
precision for a motor with a motor encoder. In addition to speed control, position control can
be implemented.

Setpoint channel
The setpoint for closed-loop control (e.g. closed-loop speed control) is conditioned in the
setpoint channel. The setpoints can be set either using
PROFIBUS
fixed setpoints or
a motorized potentiometer
The setpoint can be varied by a ramp-function generator, a filter or additional
feedforwarding, for example.

Short-circuiting device
A device which protects the system from dangerous voltages by providing a high contact
closing speed.

Skip frequency band


A skip freuquency band is an illegal range of the speed or frequency setpoint. The upper and
lower limits of the skip frequency band can be paramaterized. If a signal value that lies within
the skip frequency band is specified by an external or internal setpoint source, it is replaced
by one of the skip frequency band limits. In this way, unwanted mechanical resonant
oscillations can be prevented by suppressing speeds that could cause them.

STARTER
STARTER is used to commission and parameterize drive units. This tool can also be used to
execute the diagnostic functions required when servicing the system (e.g. PROFIBUS
diagnostics, function generator, trace).

Terminal Module
Terminal expansion module that snaps onto the installation rail, for installation in the control
cabinet.

Topology
The topology describes the structure of a drive system consisting of a control unit, motor
modules, motors, encoders and terminal modules, including the DRIVE-CLiQ wiring and
other wiring.

Trace
Cyclic saving of internal process signals of the drive for diagnostic purposes or capturing
process data.

Vector control
Vector control (field-oriented control) is a high-performance control method for induction
machines. It is based on an exact model calculation of the motor and two current
components that simulate and accurately control the flux and torque by means of software
algorithms, thereby enabling predefined speeds and torques to be observed and limited
accurately and with a good dynamic response.
Two types of vector control exist:
frequency control (encoderless vector control), and
speed-torque control with speed feedback (encoder).

Visualization parameters
These read-only parameters are used to display important internal software signals.
