Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure
operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary
to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept.
Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines
and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to an
enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only
when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please visit
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.

2 Telegram
What is a Telegram? Telegrams are universal blocks of data that organize parameters and
functions into a uniform consistent format that all Siemens drives can use to pass data to the
PLC. They are organized into 16-bit process words (abbreviated as PZD) that contain relevant
information such as control words, status words, and setpoints. Most telegrams have a control
word, status word, speed setpoint, and speed feedback word in common.
© Siemens AG 2020 All rights reserved
A telegram is easily selected within the programming platform by loading the correct electronic
data sheet (EDS) file.
This is a custom telegram that provides feedback for the status, actual speed, actual current,
actual torque, alarm code, warning code, and digital inputs to the drive (Proximity Switch, Photo
eye, etc.).

Application class:
You can set the application class in the wizard function in the configuration. Select one of the
following classes:
Standard Drive Control: The same performance such as U/f with FCC and slip compensation
/ speed accuracy is only restricted. There is therefore no speed controller and no torque
accuracy. Two rating plate parameters are required for the motor commissioning: Rated current
and rated speed. The synchronous rated speed is accepted. The motor data identification is
preset. A short measurement is performed once (only stator resistance, dead time
compensation) to improve the start-up. This is followed by a direct switchover to operation. The
optimization of the speed controller is not relevant.
Dynamic Drive Control: Compared to Standard Drive Control, the performance such as
sensorless vector control / speed accuracy is significantly improved. The robustness is
improved with higher model change limits but takes effect at slow reversing. Three rating plate
parameters are required for the motor commissioning: Rated current, rated power and rated
speed. The motor data identification is preset and serves to simplify and shorten the
measurement compared with the existing standstill measurement. This is followed by a direct
switchover to operation. In the speed controller optimization, there is a shorter measurement of
the moment of inertia / magnetizing current with direct transition to operation and the setpoint
speed defined by the user.
Expert: The Expert functions include the Standard Drive Control and Dynamic Drive Control
functions.
Select the appropriate application class for the drive from the pulldown. For this example, [1]
Standard Drive Control (SDC) is selected. Click Next.

standstill (setpoint = 0) up to the maximum speed (p1082) in this time.
Enter OFF1 ramp down time: p1121[0]. The ramp-function generator ramps-down the speed
setpoint from the maximum speed (p1082) down to standstill (setpoint = 0) in this time.
Enter OFF3 (quick stop) ramp down time: Sets the ramp-down time from the maximum speed
down to zero speed for the OFF3 command.
