3. Verify absence of operating voltage.


4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
To energize the system, apply the measures in reverse order.

2.4 Safe handling

Electric shock from external supplies


Even if the circuit breaker is open, parts of the drive can be under voltage (live) as a result of
the auxiliary voltage at the premagnetization, precharging or demagnetization transformers.
This danger is not limited to the drive, but can also occur with components that are electrically
connected to the drive (e.g. circuit breakers or isolators). Touching live parts can result in death,
serious injury and material damage
● Isolate all components that can feed voltage to the drive before commencing work.

Electric shock due to high voltages in operation


When operating this equipment very high voltages develop. Even after switching off the mains
voltage, or while the connected machine is still turning, high voltages can remain for a
prolonged length of time. High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are
not observed or if the equipment is handled incorrectly.
● Operate the device properly.
● Always follow the "The five safety rules (Page 17)" when performing any work.
● Service and maintain the device regularly and correctly.

Electric shock if the grounding switch is defective


A grounding switch is a component that has an associated certain probability of failure. This
means that it is possible that the feedback signal regarding the switching state no longer
matches the actual switching state of the grounding switch. This means that if the power unit
door is open, hazardous voltages could still be present at the active parts of the drive. Touching
the device can result in death or serious injury.
● Check the function of the grounding switch before carrying out any other work at the drive.
● Carefully comply with the 5 safety rules (Page 17).

SINAMICS GM150 6SL3835-2LN44-2AA0


18 Operating Instructions Rev.201910281250 MUSTER
Safety instructions
2.4 Safe handling

Electric shock due to induced voltage


Rotating machinery can induce dangerous high voltages and synchronous motors that are not
de-excited immediately can also pose a hazard. If the connection to the motor is not isolated or
grounded, these voltages can also remain. Touching live parts can result in death or serious
injury.
● Before opening the doors, wait until the connected machine has come to a standstill.

Electric shock at DC link capacitors


High voltages are still present at the DC link capacitors even after shutdown. Touching live
parts can result in death or serious injury.
● A label specifies the discharge times of the DC link capacitors. Only open the doors once
these discharge times have elapsed.
● Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.

Electric shock caused by high auxiliary voltages


High auxiliary voltages are still present even after shutdown. Touching live parts can result in
death or serious injury.
● Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.

Danger due to hazardous arcing


Hazards caused by arcing can occur as result of the following factors, for example:
● The input currents are exceeded.
● Incorrectly dimensioned circuit breaker or transformers.
● Incorrectly connected cables or cables that have not been connected.
● Contamination and dirt.
● Tools that have been forgotten, e.g. when mounting and installing the equipment.
Arcing can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Make sure that the system is properly dimensioned and that the power cables are correctly
connected. The maximum permissible input currents are listed in the "Technical
specifications".

Contact with the parts mentioned can result in death, serious physical injury or damage to
property.
● Observe the instructions regarding installation and operation.
● Always take protective measures before touching any components.
● Do not remove any covers.

Risk of burns due to hot component surfaces


Certain components (e.g. heat sinks and reactors) can become very hot during operation.
These components can remain hot for a long time after operation. Contact can result in serious
injury, such as skin burns.
● After the device has been shut down, do not touch any hot components.

Risk of burns due to hot anti-condensation heating surface


When the temperature control limit value is reached the anti-condensation heating is switched
on. Once activated, the anti-condensation heating can generate a great deal of heat. Contact
can result in serious injury, such as skin burns.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating cannot be touched.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating is switched off before carrying out any repair or
maintenance work.

Risk of injury at places that are difficult to access


If you do not use appropriate protective equipment when working in places that are difficult to
access you are at risk of injury. For example, sharp edges and splinters can cause injuries to
the head and skin. If you carry out work in the upper section using unsuitable ladders or similar,
you can fall and injure yourself.
● Use appropriate protective equipment, especially a hard hat and gloves.
● Use suitable steps or ladders when working in the upper area.

Eye and skin injuries caused by deionized water


Deionized water is harmful to eyes and skin and can damage surfaces.
● Therefore, use appropriate protective clothing when you carry out any work on the drive.
However, if your eyes or skin do come into contact with deionized water, rinse the affected
area thoroughly with tap water as soon as possible.

3.5.5 Electromechanical door interlock system

The electromechanical door interlock system is designed to protect personnel, and is an


integral part of the safety concept. During operation and when the make-proof grounding switch
is open, all the doors are interlocked (with the exception of the door for the control section).
The electromechanical door interlock system ensures that the doors for the power unit cannot
be opened when the DC link voltage is above a defined threshold value. The control only
releases the door interlocking once the circuit breaker is safely open and the grounding switch
is closed. You can open the doors once released by the control.
The device cannot be switched on again until all the doors are closed. The doors remain
interlocked if the auxiliary voltage fails. For more information, refer to the Chapter
"Maintenance"

3.5.7 Circuit-breaker (provided by the customer)


To ensure adequate device protection, the circuit breaker provided by the customer must fulfill
the following requirements:
● The maximum time between when the circuit-breaker trips to when a no-current state (I=0)
is reached is 80 ms.
● The circuit breaker must be equipped with an undervoltage tripping function.
● Avoid additional delay times when controlling the circuit breaker. All commands to the circuit
breaker must act directly without intervention of coupling relays.
● A feedback signal must be available for each of the circuit-breaker states CLOSED and
OPEN. The feedback signals must not be delayed. Consequently, do not use any coupling
relays.
● The circuit breaker is controlled and enabled from the closed-loop control. If this has not
been enabled, under no circumstances should you close the circuit breaker using external
mechanical or electrical means.
● To protect the converter transformer, ensure that overcurrent protection is in place.

3.5.8 Converter transformer

A three-winding transformer is required for the 12-pulse Basic Line Module. The secondary
windings of the three-winding transformer have a phase shift of 30°el, which results in a 12-
pulse supply with correspondingly lower line harmonics.
With a 24-pulse Basic Line Module, two three-winding transformers are required. The
additional shifting of the primary-side windings for the two transformers by +7.5° or –7.5° allows
a 24-pulse supply to be generated. Instead of the two three-winding transformers, a five-
winding transformer can be used (after consultation with the transformer manufacturer).

3.5.10.1 Field of application


The common power supply (GSV) is an AC/AC converter that converts an alternating voltage
into a square-wave voltage.
The square-wave voltage of 55 V generated from the input voltage supplies four power outputs
with equality of access.
Each power output is monitored for undervoltage. When the voltage level of all power outputs
is within the standard range, the LED signaling the status indication lights up green. The device
switches itself off automatically in the event of a short-circuit at one of the power outputs. The
associated LED of the affected power output lights up red until the short-circuit has been
rectified and the device is back in proper working order. This requires that the upstream
miniature circuit-breaker is opened and after approximately 10 seconds is closed again.

3.5.11.2 Signal processing

Tasks of the operational amplifier


The Power Stack Adapter returns analog signals within a range of values from 0 V to 10 V to
the DM10 diagnosis module. Because of this fixed value range, signed signals such as the
actual speed value cannot be represented. Eight AD8674 operational amplifiers boost the
voltage signal (reduced by 5 V) by a factor of 2. As a result of this signal handling, it is also
possible to represent signals in a range of values from -10 V to +10 V.

SINAMICS GM150 6SL3835-2LN44-2AA0


Operating Instructions Rev.201910281250 MUSTER 43
Description
3.5 Description of the components

In order to be able to perform signal handling with great accuracy, the operational amplifiers
must satisfy the following criteria:
● Low noise: 2.8 nV/√Hz
● Large bandwidth: 10 MHz
● Low quiescent input curent: max. 12 nA
● Low offset voltage: max. 75 μV
The signals are relayed to the following interfaces:
● For diagnosis to the process data acquisition system (option G66).
● For alternative diagnosis with the aid of indicating instruments (option K21/K22).
● Via additional isolation amplifiers to the control station / I&C.
● For simplified diagnosis with an oscilloscope to measuring sockets X20 to X27.

Tasks of reference module AD586LR


The reference module installed on the DM10 diagnosis module supplies the reference voltage
for voltage subtraction of the eight analog signals. The reference voltage of 5 V is subtracted
from the input signal in the value range from 0 V to 10 V. The voltage supplied by the reference
element must meet demanding requirements in terms of signal accuracy.
The reference element must satisfy the following signal accuracy criteria:
● High linearity
● Low drift
● Voltage deviation of max. ±5 mV
The signal accuracy of the AD586LR reference element is within the permitted tolerance range
with a deviation tolerance of ±2.5 mV.

3.5.11.3 Voltage monitoring

Tasks of the comparators


The internal voltages are connected via connector -X34 and the external voltages via connector
-X35. These voltages are required for supplying the diagnosis module. At the same time these
voltages are monitored for undervoltage, and the logic signal state is visualized by one LED in
each case. If all the voltages being checked are within the standard range, another LED (H23)
signals "Power Supply OK". If the status of the power supply is signaled to the closed-loop
control system as "Power Supply Not OK", then the closed-loop control system intervenes and
shuts down the drive in a controlled manner to prevent damage to the drive.

3.5.12 Re-cooling unit

3.5.12.1 Re-cooling unit requirements


The re-cooling unit must comply with the following requirements:
● The raw water to be supplied by the plant flows through the heat exchanger that cools the
deionized water. To limit the volume of the deionized water, a re-cooling unit with a dual-
circuit system is required. Limit the deionized water circuit to the re-cooling unit and the
drive.
● The design of the re-cooling unit is part of the system integration. This involves, in particular,
deviations from the required environmental conditions, such as aggressive cooling water.
Use heat exchanger plates made of titanium for aggressive cooling water, such as sea
water or high chloride content. If necessary, also consider an increased corrosion for the
design.
● In the variant as water-air re-cooling unit, the heat loss is dissipated to the ambient air using
a separate installed heat exchanger. If you expect air temperatures below 0° C, you must
install a water-glycol intermediate circuit. Glycol is not permitted in the ionized-water circuit.
The measuring units and the control of the electrical equipment are evaluated in the re-
cooling unit. The supplier calibrates the measuring units in accordance with the order
specifications.
● Any failure of the re-cooling unit causes the immediate shutdown of the drive. Take this into
account in the engineering if the re-cooling unit is provided by the system integrator.
● Use 2 redundant circulating pumps. No interruption of the flow is permitted. The only
exception is a pump shutdown. The switchover time must not exceed 3 seconds.
● Provide an overpressure valve in the raw water discharge of the heat exchanger. To keep
the temperature of the ionized water constant within the specified limits and to prevent
condensation, on request, a control valve (three-way valve) can be installed as bypass.
Because the valve is controlled depending on the temperature of the deionized water, up to
approx. 100% of the raw water can be conveyed past the heat exchanger.
● Acquire the temperature of the raw water with a sensor and evaluate the data.
● To reduce the raw water consumption, the flow quantity can be reduced. A reduction,
however, is possible only when the raw water does not contain any suspended matter that
could accumulate in the heat exchanger for a slower flow speed.
● Procure timely any consumables and spare parts from the supplier of the re-cooling unit.

3.5.12.2 Operating principle of the re-cooling unit


The re-cooling unit dissipates the heat loss from the drive. The deionized water in the internal
water circuit absorbs the heat of the drive power unit which is to be dissipated. A maintenance-
free circulating pump pumps the hot water into the heat exchanger. The external raw water
circuit cools the hot deionized water. The cooled deionized water is pumped back to the drive.

Material damage due to inadmissible additives in the deionized water
Inadmissible additives in the deionized water can cause the cooling system to fail. This could

● Reading in and processing external signals in addition to the existing terminal strip available
as standard.
● Controlling external components.
The Terminal Module TM15 comprises the following elements:
● 24 bidirectional digital inputs and outputs (isolation in three groups of eight channels).
● 24 green status LEDs for indicating the logical signal status of the relevant terminal

3.6.11 PADU8 diagnosis module (option G66)


The PADU8 diagnosis module can read up to eight analog and eight digital signals from the
control and monitoring module in the power unit. The PADU8 makes these signals available for
further processing for diagnostic purposes. The typical acquisition cycle of all channels in
parallel is 1 ms which allows rapid signal characteristics to be acquired and diagnosed
simultaneously. The acquired values are transferred to an evaluation system (e.g. notebook)
either via fiber-optic conductors or via an RJ11 socket. All the output data is available on both
the fiber optic cable output and the RJ11 socket simultaneously. This means that
measurements can be taken on the RJ11 socket without disrupting data transfer via the fiber
optic cable.
With this option, a PADU8 diagnosis module is integrated in each control section.

3.6.17 Automatic restart function (option L32)


With option "Automatic restart" (L32), the system automatically restarts when the line supply
fails, irrespective of how long the line supply failure was. Alarms are acknowledged
automatically and the drive is restarted.

Voltage Sensing Module (VSM)


With the "Automatic restart" option, a Voltage Sensing Module VSM10 is integrated in the drive.
The VSM10 acquires the actual voltage values at the medium-voltage level upstream of the
circuit breaker.
When the medium voltage is restored after a power failure, this is detected by the open-loop/
closed-loop controllers via voltage transformers when the input-side circuit breaker has
dropped out. The voltage transformers should be located at the medium-voltage level upstream
of the circuit breaker.
For safety reasons, a time limit between the power failure and the maximum permissible power
restoration time is incorporated to ensure that the drive does not restart in an uncontrolled
manner. As a further warning, an acoustic signal is output when the drive restarts.
You can find further information on the Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10) in Section
"Description of the Components".

3.6.27 Safety locking system (option M10)


The safety locking system is based on the key transfer system developed by Castell. It is a
supplementary mechanism to the electromechanical door locking system integrated as
standard. The medium-voltage breaker must be opened before access can be gained to the
coded key of the key exchange unit. The opened medium-voltage breaker releases the key to
the key exchange unit. This key enables the access to the keys for the cabinet doors of the
power unit. This key interlocking system ensures that the converter is disconnected from the
medium-voltage supply and that no cabinet components are connected to medium voltage. As
long as the cabinet doors are not closed again and the keys to the power-unit cabinet are not
inserted back in the key exchange unit, the key for the medium-voltage breaker will not be
released. The medium-voltage breaker cannot be switched on again.

● Check the electrical connections after service work.

Danger caused by incorrect cable routing


Failure to use the supplied cable ducts for laying the cables can lead to flashovers. This can
result in death, serious injuries or material damage.
● To connect the cables between the cabinets, use the cable ducts and the cable entries on
the roof. Lead the cables from here to the next cabinet.

Material damage caused by parts that can be magnetized


The use of magnetizable parts, e.g. ferrous cable clamps, is not permitted. Using parts and
components that can be magnetized can cause damage.
● Only use parts that consist of non-magnetic material.

Damage caused by incorrectly shrinking cable terminations


If you are connecting the mains and motor-side power cables, when shrinking the cable
terminations, other control lines and fiber-optic cables in the surrounding cable channels can
become damaged.
● When shrinking, ensure not to damage cables in the surrounding cable channels.

6.2 Electromagnetic compatibility

Note
To ensure trouble-free operation without interference or disturbances, route the power cables
and signal lines separately. Interference, for example, will result in the device not behaving as
expected.
When connecting and routing power and signal cables, observe the instructions provided in
chapter "Electromagnetic compatibility (Page 89)".

6.2 Electromagnetic compatibility


The following fundamental information and guidelines facilitate compliance with the EMC
directives.

Note
We recommend that EMC is planned for the entire plant.

Cabinet installation
● Connect painted or anodized metal components using contact washers or remove the
insulating layer.
● Use unpainted, de-oiled mounting plates.
● Establish a central connection between ground and the protective conductor system (PE
protective conductor).

Cable installation
● Cables that are subject to or sensitive to interference should be laid as far apart from each
other as possible.
● The distance between the power cable and the signal cable should be at least 20 cm.
Device-specific data apply for power cables. You can find further information on power
cables under "Connecting power cables".
● When the cables are routed close to ground potential, the immunity to interference is
increased. For this reason, you are advised to lay these cables along edges and at ground
potential.
● Ground the reserve cores on at least one end.

SINAMICS GM150 6SL3835-2LN44-2AA0


Operating Instructions Rev.201910281250 MUSTER 89
Electrical connection
6.2 Electromagnetic compatibility

● In order to avoid additional locations where interference can be coupled in, long cables
should be shortened or routed where there is little interference.
● If conductors or cables conduct signals of different classes, then the conductors and cables
must cross at a right angle. This especially involves sensitive and noisy signals.
– Class 1:
Unshielded cables for ≤ 60 V DC
Unshielded cables for ≤ 25 V AC
Shielded analog signal cables
Shielded bus and data cables
Operator panel interfaces, incremental/absolute encoder cables
– Class 2:
Unshielded cables for > 60 V DC and ≤ 230 V DC
Unshielded cables for > 25 V AC and ≤ 230 V AC
– Class 3:
Unshielded cables for > 230 V AC/V DC and ≤ 1000 V AC/DC
– Class 4:
Unshielded cables for > 1000 V AC/DC

Shield connection
● Do not use cable shields to conduct current. It is not permissible that the cable shield is used
as neutral or PE conductor.
● Apply the cable shield so that it covers the greatest possible surface area. Use ground
clamps, ground terminals or ground screw connections.
● Avoid extending the cable shield to the grounding point using a wire. This reduces the shield
effectiveness by up to 90%.

6.4 Electrical requirements

I/O connection
● Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
and distributed devices with the largest possible cross-section (at least 16 mm²).
● Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
● Choose the greatest possible clearance between the power and signal cables (at least 20
cm). The greater the distance over which the cables are routed in parallel, the greater the
clearance must be. You must install additional shields if sufficient clearance cannot be
maintained.
● Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.
● Surge suppressors – e.g. RC elements or varistors – must be connected to the solenoids of
contactors and relays in the device.
● In order to reduce noise/interference entering or exiting via the cable, filter auxiliary voltages
in the control cabinet.

6.3 Potential concept


A noise-free connection between the internal and external supply voltage can be achieved by
connecting the 0 V potentials to each other and grounding them. This also eliminates the need

6.5.5 Connect the power cable to the motor and the supply system

When connecting the cables, observe all the conditions regarding conductor protection. Do not
exceed the permitted cable lengths between the converter output and motor. The distance
between the motor cable and the signal cable should be at least 20 cm. Do not lay grid-side and
motor supply cables in parallel to each other.
The positions of the connections are shown in the layout diagrams. Detailed wiring notes for the
converter are contained in the circuit manual of the converter.
Select the appropriate cable depending on the following conditions:
● Routing conditions
● Accumulation of cables
● Ambient temperature
● Bending radii
● Output voltage
Observe the connection capabilities on the converter and on the motor terminal box.

Procedure
1. Open the cabinet.
2. Remove or slide away the cover plate for the motor cable penetration.

Note
To route the power cables from above into the cabinet, remove the cover plate at the top of the
cabinet.

Cable fire caused by high transition resistances


Cables connected to the connection point that are not in compliance with the applicable
regulations represent a high electrical transition resistance that can cause thermal damage
(fire) during operation.
● Tighten the screws with the required torque.

7.1.3 Setting the PROFIBUS address


You have two options for setting the Profibus address:
● In the decimal notation using the STARTER commissioning tool with parameter p0918
● In the hexadecimal notation using the rotary coding switch on the control module

Setting the Profibus address using STARTER


1. Set the rotary coding switch (located under the cover of the control module) to 00hex or 7Fhex.
2. Set the Profibus address with STARTER in parameter p0918 decimal to a value between 1
and 126.

Setting the Profibus address with rotary coding switches


● Using rotary coding switch "DP H", set the hexadecimal number for 161.
● Using rotary coding switch "DP L", set the hexadecimal number for 160.
Set the Profibus address using the rotary coding switches hexadecimal to a value between 1dec
(01hex) and 126dec (7Ehex).

7.1 Description and configuration of the PROFIBUS interface

If you set the Profibus address with rotary coding switches, then parameter p0918 can only be
read. The parameter shows the set address of the control unit. If the address is changed, it only
becomes active after POWER ON of the control module.

7.1.4 Requirements for communication via PROFIBUS


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

Operation 8
8.1 Safety instructions for operation

When carrying out any work, carefully observe the information provided in Chapter "Safety
instructions (Page 17)".

Electric shock caused by a high voltages


High voltages are present both during operation and also after the device has been switched
off. When touched, these voltages can lead to death or severe injury.
● Ensure that no voltage is present when the doors of the power unit are open.
● Always keep the doors closed in operation.

Danger if operated in spite of faults


Operation with an active fault can result in death, severe injury and significant material damage.
● Observe the fault and alarm messages.
● Eliminate the source of the fault. Only then commission the device. You can find further
information on alarms and faults in the section "Indicating and rectifying faults."
● If it is not possible to correct a fault, inform the manufacturer's service personnel
immediately. For additional information, see Chapter "Service & support".

Danger when operating with ground fault


The type and location of the fault cannot be established just from a ground fault error message.
For example, the glow discharge at the winding overhang of the machine may result in a fault
signal. In the event of continued operation, serious follow-on faults up to electric arcs are
possible. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Immediately switch off the device if a ground fault occurs during operation. Then identify and
eliminate the source of the ground fault.
● The company operating the plant or system is responsible for the consequences when the
device is still operated after a ground fault has been identified. Carry out a risk analysis.

Danger when the permissible short-circuit currents are exceeded


Serious follow-on faults are possible, if the specified short-circuit current values are exceeded.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
● Observe the maximum permitted short-circuit currents and maximum specified short-circuit
times.

Operation
8.3 Operation via the AOP30 operator panel

Subsequent damage after a full short-circuit trip of the circuit breaker


If, after a full short-circuit trip, the circuit breaker is closed again without first checking it, the
drive or the circuit breaker can be subsequently damaged.
● Before reclosing the circuit breaker, carry out a voltage check and measure the resistance.
Provide the results of these measurements to the Service & Support organization. After the
Service & Support organization has checked the values, if necessary replace the vacuum
tubes of the circuit breaker.

Damage caused by incorrect parameter assignment


Malfunctions can occur if you change parameters.
● Do not change the parameters, e.g. for the motor circuit-breaker.

Note
To complement these operating instructions, the List Manual contains an overview of all
parameters as well as a selection of function diagrams to describe the operating principle.

Saving LOCAL mode


● Setting "Yes"(default setting):
The LOCAL operating status is saved when the power supply is switched off and restored
the next time power is switched on.
● Setting "No":
The REMOTE operating status is activated when the supply voltage is switched back on.

Off in remote
● Setting "Yes":
It is possible to switch off in remote mode by pressing the<OFF> key.
● Setting "No":
The <OFF> key has no effect in remote operation.
The<OFF> key is always active in LOCAL mode.

LOCAL/REMOTE also during operation


● Setting "Yes":
You can switch between LOCAL and REMOTE when the drive is switched on (i.e. motor is
running).
● Setting "No" (default setting):
Before the system switches to LOCAL, a check is carried out to determine whether the drive
is in the operational status. In this case, the system does not switch to LOCAL and outputs
the error message "Local mode during operation not possible". Before the system switches
to REMOTE, the drive is switched off and the setpoint is set to 0.

Red OFF key acts as


● OFF1 - Ramp-down on the deceleration ramp (p1121). OFF1 is the default setting.
● OFF2 - Immediate pulse block, motor coasts to a standstill.
● OFF3 - Ramp-down on the emergency stop ramp (p1135).
The OFF key is only effective in LOCAL mode.

Red OFF key also in REMOTE


● Setting "Yes":
It is possible to switch off in remote mode by pressing the<OFF> key.
● Setting "No":
The <OFF> key has no effect in REMOTE operation.
In LOCAL mode, the OFF key is always in effect.

Operation
8.3 Operation via the AOP30 operator panel

Clockwise/counter-clockwise switchover
● Setting "Yes":
In LOCAL mode, left/right switching is possible using the key.
● Setting "No" (default setting):
The key does not act in LOCAL mode.
In REMOTE mode, the key is always in effect.
For safety reasons, the left/right key is inactive in the default setting. Pumps and fans may
normally be operated only in one rotational direction. In the "Operation" state in LOCAL mode,
the current rotational direction is indicated by an arrow next to the operating mode.

JOG key active (jogging)


● Setting "Yes":
In LOCAL mode, in the "Ready to switch on" state (not in "Operation" state), jogging mode
is possible using the <JOG> key. The speed set in parameter p1058 is approached.
● Setting "No":
The <JOG> key has no effect in LOCAL mode.
The <JOG> key never acts in REMOTE mode.

Save AOP setpoint


● Setting "Yes":
In LOCAL mode, the and keys save the set setpoint. The set value is automatically
reset as the setpoint value after the power supply is switched off and on again.
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 and saved.
During the switchover from REMOTE to LOCAL mode with the drive switched off, the last
saved AOP setpoint is used.
● Setting "No":
In LOCAL mode, after switching the drive off and on, "0" is set as initial value for the AOP
setpoint. "0" is also set as initial value for the AOP setpoint after the power supply has been
switched off and on.
The current value is set as AOP setpoint when switched from REMOTE to LOCAL mode for
activated drive and running motor.

AOP ramp-up time/AOP ramp-down time


The AOP ramp-up time setpoint and the AOP ramp-down time setpoint specify in which time the
<+> and <-> keys change the AOP setpoint.
The ramp-up time acts when the setpoint changes from smaller to larger, i.e positive or negative
values. The ramp-down time acts in the opposite direction.
The times set here act in addition to the ramp-up and ramp-down times set in the drive.
The default setting for the AOP ramp-up time is 20 seconds. The default setting for the AOP
ramp-down time is 30 seconds.

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 an other exceptional (unwanted)
status. The cause can be a drive-internal fault or an external fault. The fault, for example, could
have been issued by the winding temperature monitoring of 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 "drive fault" is also sent to a relay output. Once you have
eliminated the cause of the fault, acknowledge the fault message.
The list of faults and alarms indicates the type of response (e.g. OFF1, OFF2) 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.

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

3. Press the <▲> or <▼> function key to select the desired parameter. Confirm the selection
with <OK>.
● 0: Ready = The device commissioning is closed.
● 1: Device configuration = At the first commissioning of the device, after start-up, the device
is in the "device configuration" status. Transfer the identification for the actual topology
(r0098) to the identification for the setpoint topology (p0099). To do this, it is sufficient to set
a single index value of p0099[x] the same as r0098[x]. No other parameter may be changed
prior to the commissioning. To start the internal automatic first device commissioning, set
p0009 = 0 (ready). After the first commissioning has been carried out, in this status, other
basic device configuration parameters can be adjusted (e.g. the basic sampling time in
p0110) if required.
● 2: Specification of the drive type = You can change or select the drive object types and/or
the function modules for individual drive objects. To do this, set the drive object type with
p0107[0...15] and the function module with p0108[0...15]. Further details can be found in the
parameter 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 basis configuration = After the first commissioning of the device, you can change the
individual drive objects:
– Assignment of the components (p0121, p0131, p0141, p0151, p0161) to the individual
data sets.
– Assignment of the power unit, motor and encoder to the drive data sets (p0185, ...).
● 30: parameter reset = In order to bring the complete unit into the "first commissioning" status
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.
You will find a list of the settable parameters below.

The drive is adapted to the relevant drive task by means of parameters. Each parameter is
identified by a unique parameter number and specific attributes. Such attributes are, for
example:
● Readable attributes
● Writable attributes
● BICO attributes
The parameters can be accessed via the following means:
● PC with commissioning tool via PROFIBUS
● Operator panel

All these drive parameters can be read and changed via PROFIBUS using the mechanisms
defined in the PROFIdrive profile.

Parameter categories
The parameters for the individual drive objects (DO) are categorized according to data sets as
follows:
● Data-set-independent parameters
These parameters exist only once per drive object.
● Data-set-dependent parameters
These parameters can exist several times for each drive object and are addressed via the
parameter index for reading and writing. The following data set types can be distinguished:
– CDS: Command data set
By parameterizing several command data sets and switching between them, the drive
can be operated with different preconfigured signal sources.
– DDS: Drive data set
The drive data set contains the parameters required for switching the drive control
parameters.
The CDS and DDS data sets can be switched during operation. Further data set types
also exist, however these can only be activated indirectly by means of a DDS
changeover.
– EDS: Encoder data set
– MDS: Motor data set

Fine tuning (correction variable) often needs to be carried out on site for applications in which
the command variables are generated by central control systems.
You achieve the correction variable using the addition point for the main and additional setpoint
in the setpoint channel. Both variables are imported simultaneously via two separate or one
setpoint source and added in the setpoint channel.

Direction reversal
A reversal of the rotational direction is necessary under the following conditions:
● When the drive should be operated in both directions of rotation.
● If the cables were connected with an incorrect phase sequence.

Note
Note that only one direction of rotation is enabled in the factory setting.

To subsequently reverse the phase sequence, you must interchange the motor cables or enter
a negative setpoint. A direction reversal cannot be achieved with parameter settings. Direction
of rotation changeover is initiated as follows:
● Controlled via PROFIBUS using control word 1, bit 11
● Controlled from the cabinet operator panel ("LOCAL mode" function) with the "direction of
rotation changeover" key.

Skip frequency bands and minimum speed


Variable-speed drives can generate critical whirling speeds within the control range of the
entire drive train. This prevents steady-state operation in their proximity, that is,
the range of critical whirling speeds can still be passed through. The drive, however, must not
remain here because this can cause excitation of the sympathetic oscillations.
The suppression bandwidths allow this range to be blocked for steady-state operation.
Because the points at which critical whirling speeds occur in a drive train can vary depending
on age or thermal factors, a broader control range should be blocked. To ensure that the speed
does not constantly increase and decrease in the suppression bandwidth (speeds), the bands
are assigned a hysteresis.

Speed limitation
The speed limitation is used to limit the maximum permitted speed for the complete drive train.
The drive and the load machine / process are protected from damage caused by overspeed.

Ramp-function generator
The ramp-function generator limits the rate at which the setpoint changes when the drive is
accelerating or decelerating. This prevents excessive setpoint step changes from damaging
the drive train. Parameter p1115 can be used to select two ramp-function generators.
To improve the control properties with regard to load surges, set additional rounding times in
the lower and upper speed range.
The rounding times achieve the following:
● They protect mechanical components, such as shafts and couplings.
● The overshoot of the actual speed while approaching the setpoint is avoided. The control
quality is improved.
The ramp-up and ramp-down times each refer to the maximum speed (p1082).

Note
If rounding times are too long, this can cause the setpoint to be overshot if the setpoint is
reduced abruptly during ramp-up.

Rounding is also effective in the zero crossover;


When the rotational direction is reversed, the ramp-function generator output is reduced to zero
using the following parameters:
● The initial rounding
● The ramp-down time
● The final rounding
The new inverted setpoint is approached using the following parameters:
● The initial rounding
● The ramp-up time
● The final rounding

8.5.1.2 Vector control

Properties of vector control


Vector control has the following properties and features:
● Stability during load and setpoint changes.
● Extremely good control characteristic thanks to short rise times for setpoint changes.
● Very good response to disturbances thanks to short settling times for load changes.
● Acceleration and braking are possible with maximum available torque.
● Motor protection due to variable torque limitation in motor and regenerative mode.
● Drive and braking torque controlled independently of the speed.
These benefits can even be achieved without speed feedback.

Note
Vector control can be used with or without an encoder.

Operating Instructions Rev.201910281250 MUSTER 147
Operation
8.5 Functions

Benefits of vector control with an encoder


A speed encoder is only required in the following conditions:
● A separately excited motor is used.
● Highest speed accuracy is required.
● The most stringent demands on the dynamic response are required.
● Better command behavior is desired.
● The shortest possible settling times during disturbances are required.
● Torque control in a range greater than 1:10 is required.
● A defined and/or variable torque for speeds below approx. 5% of the rated motor frequency
(p0310) must be maintained.

Open-loop and closed-loop control methods (p1300):


● V/f control with linear characteristic.
● I/f control with fixed current.
● Speed control.
● Torque/current control (in short: torque control).

Vector control with encoder


Benefits of vector control with an encoder:
● The speed can be controlled right down to 0 Hz (standstill).
● Stable control response throughout the entire speed range.
● Allows a defined and/or variable torque for speeds below approx. 10% of the rated motor
speed to be maintained.
● In comparison with speed control without an encoder, the dynamic response of drives with
an encoder is significantly increased. The reason is that the speed is measured directly and
used for the model formation of the current components.

Vector control without an encoder


Vector control without an encoder is used with induction motors.
In vector control without an encoder, the position of the flux and actual speed must be
determined via the electric motor model. The model is buffered by the incoming currents and
voltages. At low frequencies (approx. 0 Hz), the model cannot determine the speed.
For this reason and due to uncertainties in the model parameters or inaccurate measurements,
the system is switched from closed-loop to open-loop operation in this range.
The switchover is governed by time and frequency conditions (p1755, p1756, and p1758). If the
setpoint frequency at the ramp-function generator input and the actual frequency are below
p1755 x p1756 simultaneously, the system does not wait for the time condition.

Figure 8-16 Switchover conditions

In open-loop operation, the actual speed value is the same as the setpoint value.
To provide the resulting static or dynamic load torque for suspended loads or acceleration
tasks, modify the following parameters:
● p1610 (constant torque increase)
If p1610 is set to 0%, only the magnetizing current r0331 is impressed. For a value of 100%,
the rated motor current p0305 is impressed.
● p1611 (torque increase)
To ensure that the drive does not stall during acceleration, p1611 can be increased or
acceleration pre-control for the speed controller used. The p1611 increase is also advisable
to ensure that the motor is not subject to thermal overload at low speeds.
Vector control without encoder has the following features in the low frequency range:
● Closed-loop operation up to approx. 1 Hz output frequency
● Start-up in closed-loop operation (directly after drive is energized)
● Passes through low frequency range (0 Hz) in closed-loop operation
Note
In this case, the speed setpoint upstream of the ramp-function generator must be greater
than p1755.

SINAMICS GM150 6SL3835-2LN44-2AA0


Operating Instructions Rev.201910281250 MUSTER 149
Operation
8.5 Functions

Closed-loop operation above approx. 1 Hz (p1755) and the ability to start or reverse at 0 Hz
directly in closed-loop operation (p1750) produce the following benefits:
● No switching action within the closed-loop control necessary. This means smooth behavior,
no frequency drops.
● Stationary speed–torque control up to approx. 1 Hz.
Note
For controlled reversing or controlled starting for 0 Hz, under the following condition the
closed-loop control is switched automatically from closed-loop controlled operation to open-
loop controlled operation:
● Dwell-time > 2 seconds or > p1758 in the range of 0 Hz

8.5.1.3 U/f control


As an alternative to vector control, a U/f control is available for induction motors. This technique
is only appropriate when there are no highly dynamic requirements, e.g. pumps and fan drives.
V/f control aims to maintain a constant flux Φ in the motor whereby the flux (Φ) is proportional
to the magnetization current (Iµ) and the ratio of voltage (V) to frequency (f).
Φ ~ Iµ ~ V/f
The torque (M) generated by the induction motors is, in turn, proportional to the vector product
(Φ x I) of the flux and current. The V/f characteristic is derived from these basic premises:
To generate as much torque as possible with a given current, the motor must function using the
greatest possible constant flux. To maintain a constant flux (Φ), therefore, the voltage must be
changed in proportion to the frequency f. The voltage change ensures that a constant
magnetization current Iµ flows.

8.5.2.4 Digital inputs/outputs


The TM15 modules are the interface with the system I/O. These modules are used to read the
signals to the closed-loop controller. The signal status is indicated by a green LED on the front
panel. The TM15 module is equipped with 24 floating digital inputs/outputs, which are divided
into three groups of eight channels. Each group has a separate supply voltage connection
[(L1+, M1), (L2+, M2), (L3+, M3)]. This enables signals to be processed with separate
reference potentials. If a system supply voltage for monitoring signals is not available, the
signal monitoring function can be supplied by the 2P24, which is protected with a circuit-
breaker. In this case, the 0 V potential of the closed-loop controller is distributed in the system
in a star configuration. If this concept is rigorously applied, it can eliminate the risk of ground
loops.

Signals are transmitted via a conducted electrical interface, which can be affected by
conducted interference. To minimize external interference, the signals are injected
asymmetrically and are floating. When this transmission method is used, the receiver
(optocoupler) receives the signal along with the reference potential from the transmitter. The
signal data is, therefore, forwarded to an optocoupler (group) via a closed loop.
The symmetrical interference is minimized by means of twisted cables (outgoing/incoming
conductors).
In general, the shield should be applied at both ends of the shield support bar.
The digital outputs of the TM15 are continued short-circuit proof. The logical status of the
outputs can be read back.

8.5.3.1 Insulation monitoring

The drive is operated in an ungrounded IT supply system. This means that the drive can
continue to operate if just one ground fault occurs.

Note
A second ground fault causes the drive to fail.

For safety reasons, it is necessary to detect such ground faults, in order to eliminate the risk of
electric shock on the drive. This is the reason why the drive is equipped with insulation
monitoring (A-Isometer) that continually monitors the insulation state of the drive including that
of the motor.
Only one A-Isometer can be connected to each live connected IT system. The A-Isometer
adjusts monitoring in line with the line discharge capacitance. The A-Isometer is connected
between the ungrounded line supply and the equipotential bonding conductor (PE).
For the duration of testing, disconnect the instrument cables of the A-Isometer when performing
any insulation or voltage testing on the power system.

Self-test
The A-Isometer performs an automatic self-test under the following conditions:
● When the insulation resistance of the line supply > 20 MΏ
● Every 24 hours when an output relay for the system error message has been preselected.

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 MΏ in new or small IT systems. To suppress the
message, disable the connection monitoring in Setup2. The A-Isometer monitors the insulation
resistance of the drive.
The following limit values are monitored:
● Limit value 1: Insulation resistance < 500 kΩ = Signal 1 (alarm)
● Limit value 2: Insulation resistance < 100 kΩ = Signal 2 (fault)
The signals are issued to STARTER and output on the operator panel. Further information

8.5.3.2 Tripping of the circuit-breaker in case of undervoltage


If a serious fault occurs (e.g. overload in the DC link), the drive is immediately disconnected
from the power supply using the safety shutdown function.

WARNING
Danger to life as a result of residual voltages at the output terminals
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 device itself.
High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are not observed or if the
equipment is handled incorrectly.
● Always carefully observe the "five safety rules (Page 17)".

The shutdown of the circuit-breaker is triggered by a safety contactor combination.


The plant-side circuit-breaker must 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 switched off so that it is fail-safe.

8.5.3.3 DC-link short-circuiter


The short-circuiter is triggered if an overvoltage 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 closed-
loop 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.
The resistors absorb the energy stored in the DC link and limit the current. In the event of false
tripping, the torque surge for the machine, which is still rotating, is limited by the resistors.

WARNING
Danger to life as a result of a defective short-circuiter
If the short-circuiter is defective, this can significantly increase the discharge time. High
voltages cause death or serious injury if the safety instructions are not observed or if the
equipment is handled improperly.
● Never use force to open the doors while the DC-link capacitors are discharging.
● Always observe the five safety rules (Page 17).

8.5.3.4 Vdc-max closed-loop control

The vdc-max closed-loop control permits (restricted) braking operation of a drive with a diode
supply to the DC link. During braking operation, the machine supplies power back to the DC
link. Due to the configuration, however, a diode supply cannot supply this power back to the
line. The vdc controller controls the supply of power back from the machine to compensate for
losses from the drive system and prevent the DC link voltage from exceeding the maximum
value. This avoids any fault shutdown caused by braking ramps that have been set too short.
The drive stops controlled. The ramp-down times may increase as a result.

You use p1242 to define the starting point of the vdc-max controller. The starting point is the
maximum value of the DC link voltage that cannot be exceeded. If the DC link voltage is below
the starting point, the controller remains inactive. The controller gain can be changed by means
of p1250. The set ramp-down remains inactive while the vdc_max controller is active. The ramp-
down time increases the more excess kinetic energy is stored in the drive train.

8.5.3.5 Speed monitoring with incremental encoder


Permanent speed monitoring enables motor control without an encoder. You can upgrade with
additional incremental encoders under the following conditions:
● When high-performance applications, such as bearing control, require a permanent speed
control.
● For long-continuing applications with low speeds.

8.5.3.6 Controlled stop, EMERGENCY STOP category 1

The EMERGENCY OFF function for controlled shutdown stops the drive by means of a quick
stop process along a deceleration ramp that must be parameterized.

Note
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.

Connections of the EMERGENCY STOP button


Most of the contacts of the EMERGENCY STOP button are integrated in the control circuit of
the circuit-breaker. The two remaining normally-closed contacts of the EMERGENCY STOP
button are situated on the terminal block.

8.5.3.7 Automatic restart


After the power fails and returns, the drive is automatically switched on again, irrespective of
the length of the power failure. Alarms are acknowledged automatically and the drive is
restarted.

164 Operating Instructions Rev.201910281250 MUSTER
Operation
8.5 Functions

Prerequisites
The following general conditions must be satisfied in order that the drive can be switched on:
● The auxiliary supplies must not fail.
● The power supply for the fans, coolant pumps, and the open-loop/closed-loop controllers
must be maintained.
If the main infeed fails, the pulse block is initiated. The DC link is supported for a short time using
the precharge.

Starting the drive from standstill


This function is suitable for drives with low moments of inertia and load torques that allow the
drive to come to standstill within seconds, e.g. pump drives with a head of water.

Starting the drive with the "flying restart" function


This function can also be activated as follows: The function is suitable for drives with high inertia
loads (e.g. fan drives). This function can be used to switch the drive to the motor that is still
rotating.

Failure of the auxiliary supply


If the main infeed fails, the following possibilities are available:
● The input-side circuit breaker is still closed.
When the medium-voltage supply system has been restored, the DC-link voltage increases.
This increase is detected by the closed-loop and open-loop controllers.
When a threshold value is exceeded, operation is resumed.
● The input-side circuit breaker has tripped.
After a fixed, definable time, the circuit breaker receives a "CLOSE" command.
The system then checks the DC link voltage.
The device is switched off if the DC link voltage continues to decrease.
If the DC-link voltage increases, operation is resumed when a threshold value is exceeded.

Note
Restricted drive operation when operated via the operator panel in the LOCAL mode
The automatic restart function cannot be used in conjunction with the operator panel in the
LOCAL mode.
When operated in the LOCAL mode, the operator panel withdraws the "ON" command to the
circuit breaker if fault OFF1, OFF2 or OFF3 is active.

8.6.1 External alarms and faults


With the terminal blocks TM15/TM31, there are 24 terminals. With STARTER or SCOUT, you
can select which predefined messages are displayed and which protection devices are to be
triggered. The list of parameterized faults and alarms can be found in the List Manual in the
"Faults and alarms" section.

8.6.2 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 (D455
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 drive


The doors of the power unit are unlocked under the following conditions:
● The serial link of "Safe On messages".
● The potential-free contacts of the make-proof grounding switch.
● The enable signal of the open-loop/closed-loop control
The enable signal of the closed-loop/open-loop control is signaled when one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
● When after grounding the drive, an insulation resistance near 0 Ω is set.
● When the "Ground-fault monitoring (stator) fault status" signal has triggered.
This concept ensures a high degree of protection against residual voltages.
Check that the following prerequisites are satisfied before you switch on the drive:
● The doors are closed.
● The make-proof grounding switch is open.
● The insulation resistance is in the normal range.
If these conditions are fulfilled, you can start the drive.

Insulation monitoring
The deployed insulation monitoring device has an external delete input. This input is
interconnected in such a way that the fault messages are automatically acknowledged at the
insulation monitoring device.

8.6.3 Diagnosis

8.6.3.1 Indicating and rectifying faults

The drive provides many protection functions. These protection functions protect the drive
against damage in a fault situation. A distinction is made between the following messages:
● Fault
A fault is a message from the drive indicating a fault or other exceptional (unwanted) state.
The cause can be a fault in the drive itself or also an external fault. This fault, for example,
could have been issued by the winding temperature monitoring of the asynchronous motor.
The faults are displayed and can be reported to a higher-level control system. Once you
have eliminated the cause of the fault, you must acknowledge the fault message.
● Alarm
An alarm is the response to a fault condition identified by the drive, that does not result in the
drive being shutdown. Alarms acknowledge themselves. If the cause is no longer present,
the alarms reset themselves automatically.
The converter indicates a fault by displaying the corresponding fault and/or alarm on the
operator panel.
Faults are displayed as follows:
● By illuminating the red LED "FAULT"
Additionally, a note relating to the cause of the alarm is displayed in the status bar of the
operator panel.
Press the <F1> "Help " key function to call up information about the cause and remedial
measures. Press the <F5> "Quitt." key to acknowledge a stored fault.
Alarms are indicated as follows:
● The yellow LED "Alarm" flashes
Additionally, a note relating to the cause of the alarm is displayed in the status bar of the
operator panel.
Every fault and alarm is entered in the fault/alarm buffer along with time the fault occurred. The
time stamp refers to the relative system time in milliseconds (r0969).

Maintenance 9
9.1 Safety instructions for maintenance

When carrying out any work, carefully observe the information provided in Chapter "Safety
instructions (Page 17)".

Electric shock when touching the snubber circuit capacitors


The snubber circuit capacitors are not equipped with discharge resistors. The energy stored in
the capacitors is discharged via a snubber resistor and the diodes. If the connection to the
capacitor is interrupted, high voltages up to several 1000 V can result and cause an electric
shock. This can result in death, severe injuries and significant material damage.
● You should always handle the capacitors as if they are charged. Discharge the snubber
circuit capacitors. Short-circuit the snubber circuit capacitors briefly before you begin work
on the drive.

Danger due to improper maintenance and repairs


Improper repairs can result in death and serious physical injury.
● Only qualified maintenance and installation personnel may perform repairs.

Danger due to defective seals


When working on the device, seals at the doors, roof panels as well as front, rear and side

9.1 Safety instructions for maintenance

Danger to life as a result of a hazardous voltage at the anti-condensation heating


The anti-condensation heating system is used when the device is switched off during non-
operational periods or when maintenance work is being carried out. For this reason, the heating
is supplied with voltage from a separate line supply. When the power supply voltage for the anti-
condensation heating is connected – also for an EMERGENCY OFF or when the main switch
is open – a hazardous voltage is still present. This voltage can cause serious injury.
● The five safety rules must be observed.

Risk of burns due to hot anti-condensation heating surface


When the temperature control limit value is reached the anti-condensation heating is switched
on. Once activated, the anti-condensation heating can generate a great deal of heat. Contact
can result in serious injury, such as skin burns.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating cannot be touched.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating is switched off before carrying out any repair or
maintenance work.

Injury when falling


When climbing onto the cover of the anti-condensation heating there is a risk of injury.
● Therefore, do not use the anti-condensation heating system to help you get to the top of the
cabinet.

Damage due to non-authorized spare parts


Using non-approved spare parts can affect the function of the equipment and damage it. Third-
party spare parts and unapproved spare parts may not meet the requirements.
● Only use spare parts that have been approved by the manufacturer.

Damage caused by foreign bodies


If foreign bodies are left in the device after installation and maintenance work, this can cause
damage when the device is switched on.
● Before switching on, check as to whether there are any foreign bodies in the device.
Remove any foreign bodies.

Damage due to contamination and dirt


Contamination and dirt can damage the device.
● Visually inspect the equipment at least once per year. For more information, please refer to
the section "Visual inspections".
● Dust deposits inside the cabinet unit must be removed at regular intervals (or at least once
a year) by qualified personnel in line with the relevant safety regulations.

9.2.2 Grounding using a make-proof grounding switch

The drive is equipped with a make-proof grounding switch (in compliance with the requirements
of IEC61800-5-1, Section 4.2.13).
You can close the make-proof grounding switch when the doors are closed and only at a
voltage below 60 V. If the auxiliary voltage fails completely, the make-proof grounding switch
cannot be closed. It is not permissible that you open the doors before the make-proof grounding
switch is closed.

WARNING
Danger to life as a result of a DC link short-circuit
A DC link short-circuit can occur if you ground the drive under voltage. This can result in death,
serious injury or material damage.
● Remove the socket wrench before switching on the power. This activates the interlocking.

Maintenance
9.3 Opening the doors

WARNING
Electric shock if the grounding switch is defective
A grounding switch is a component that has an associated certain probability of failure. This
means that it is possible that the feedback signal regarding the switching state no longer
matches the actual switching state of the grounding switch. This means that if the power unit
door is open, hazardous voltages could still be present at the active parts of the drive.
Touching the device can result in death or serious injury.
● Check the function of the grounding switch before carrying out any other work at the drive.
● Carefully comply with the 5 safety rules (Page 17).

To close the make-proof grounding switch, proceed as follows:


1. Take the socket wrench found in the tool set.
2. Turn the socket wrench in the clockwise direction.
The contacts are closed and the DC-link voltage is grounded.
3. Withdraw the socket wrench.

Figure 9-4 Make-proof-grounding switch closed

9.3 Opening the doors

The drive is equipped with a door interlocking system. Depending on the design, this is an
electromechanical door interlocking system or optionally a safety locking system.
The door of the closed-loop control cabinet is not electromechanically interlocked. For this
reason, it can also be opened during operation.

9.3.1 Opening the power unit doors for maintenance work


The doors can only be opened under the following conditions:
● The DC-link voltage is below a threshold value of 60 V.
● The circuit-breaker is open.

SINAMICS GM150 6SL3835-2LN44-2AA0


Operating Instructions Rev.201910281250 MUSTER 181
Maintenance
9.3 Opening the doors

● The make-proof grounding switch is closed. The make-proof grounding switch is enabled by
the software.
● With synchronous motors, the field contactor must return the external enable signal at the
input with the status "OFF".
The position of the grounding switch lever is linked with the check-back signal for the status of
the "Opened" power system breaker and the threshold value (V<Vlimit).

WARNING
Electric shock although the door interlocking has been released
Even when the door interlocking is released, dangerous high voltages can still be present at
the auxiliary circuits, e.g. fans, anti-condensation heating, closed-loop control, etc. High
voltages can cause death or serious injury if safety rules are not observed or if equipment is
handled improperly.
● Ensure that work is only carried out by qualified personnel.
● Carefully comply with the 5 safety rules.
● Strictly observe the warnings provided in these operating instructions, and the safety-
relevant information on the product itself.

WARNING
Not activated door lock
If the door locking mechanism is not activated during operation, then the drive can be
grounded live and cause a short-circuit in the DC link. A DC-link short-circuit can result in
death, serious injury, or material damage.
Remove the grounding bar before the voltage is switched on. This then activates the
mechanical interlocking system, guaranteeing safe drive operation.

9.3.2 Manually unlocking power unit doors


If the auxiliary voltage fails, you can only unlock the doors manually. To unlock the doors,
proceed as described in the chapter titled "Preparation for use".

If the drive is shipped in more than one transportation unit due to its
dimensions, you must also establish the electrical connections be‐
tween the cabinet units as well as the mechanical connections. In
addition to the power busbars, establish the electrical connection for
the signal and monitoring electronics.
Dimension and install the line and motor-side power cables in ac‐
cordance with the ambient and wiring conditions. Make sure that the
maximum cable lengths between the drive and motor are not excee‐
ded.
The motor ground must be routed back directly to the cabinet unit.
The cables must be properly connected with a torque of 50 Nm to the
drive terminals.
The cables for the motor and low-voltage switchgear must also be
connected with the required torques.
The medium-voltage switchgear is a central component of the drive
protection concept. For this reason, medium-voltage circuit-breaker
control must be integrated in the drive controller.
The medium-voltage circuit-breaker must be equipped with an un‐
dervoltage coil.
If the medium-voltage switchgear does not have an undervoltage coil
or a UPS-supported auxiliary-voltage supply, provide the following
alternative:
● Integrated circuit-breaker (option N13) on the secondary side of
the transformer
● Capacitor-release units (option N20 or N21) for the circuit-
breaker.
Set the overcurrent protection for the medium-voltage circuit-breaker
so that it protects the system.
To relieve strain on the cables, they must be clamped on the cable
propping bar (C-bar).
When EMC-shielded cables are used, screwed glands that connect
the shield to ground with the greatest possible surface area must be
provided on the motor terminal box.

Apply the cable shields properly.
The cabinet must be properly grounded at the points provided.
An auxiliary supply (3-phase 380 VAC) must be provided for the
auxiliary equipment (e.g. cabinet fan / DC-link precharging). Refer to
the "Technical specifications" for the drives for details of current con‐
sumption. Protect the low-voltage feeder appropriately at the plant.
With respect to the phase sequence, make sure that fans rotate in the
right direction.
If a voltage other than the auxiliary supply (3-phase 380 – 415 VAC)
is used, a suitable matching transformer is required (option Y75).
Ensure that the chosen taps are appropriate for the voltage present.
With respect to the phase sequence, make sure that fans rotate in the
right direction.
The open-loop and closed-loop control systems are supplied with
voltage (230 VAC 50/60 Hz) via terminals. Refer to the "Technical
specifications" for the drives for details of current consumption. If
communication with the open-loop and closed-loop control system is
to be maintained even if the main voltage fails or the drive is to be
switched on again automatically if the power fails, this voltage must
originate from a secure network. Alternatively, choose option L53
(UPS-supported power supply for the closed-loop control system).
Option L19
To supply auxiliary equipment (e.g. separately-driven motor fan), the
drive must be properly connected to terminals ‑X155:1 (L1) to
‑X155:3 (L3). The supply voltage of the auxiliary equipment must
Set value:
match the input voltage of the drive. The load current must not ex‐
ceed 10 A and must be set in accordance with the connected con‐ _________________

If the drive is equipped with the anti-condensation heating option,
then provide the required auxiliary voltage (V) via the terminals. Pro‐
tect the auxiliary supply with fuses on the low-voltage distribution
board side. This voltage is not integrated in the EMERGENCY STOP
sequence of the drive and is, therefore, present even when the
EMERGENCY STOP button has been actuated. These cabinet-in‐
ternal cables can be easily identified by their orange insulation.
Service sockets
Provide for the service power sockets in the control cabinet as well as
for the optional cabinet lighting (option L50) on the auxiliary voltage
supply
230 V). Protect the auxiliary voltage supply with 10 A fuses on the
plant. This voltage is not integrated in the EMERGENCY STOP se‐
quence of the drive and is, therefore, present even when the EMER‐
GENCY STOP button has been actuated. These cabinet-internal
cables can be easily identified by their orange insulation.

To supply auxiliary equipment (e.g. separately-driven fan for motor),
the drive must be properly connected to terminals (L1) to (L3). The
supply voltage of the auxiliary equipment must match the input volt‐
age. The voltage is supplied at terminals X ... Depending on which
option (option N30 to N33) is chosen, different circuit-breakers are
available with the assigned motor circuit-breaker. When connecting
the power supply, take into account the direction of rotation of the
drive. Set the motor circuit-breaker so that it protects the drive. Pro‐
tect the auxiliary supply for the auxiliary equipment (e.g. separately-
driven motor fan) with fuses on the system side. The circuit-breaker
is activated by means of the "Auxiliary equipment ON" command
from the drive controller.
Operating the drive from a higher-level control system / control room.
Connect the control lines as specified in the interface assignment.
Connect the shield. Route the digital and analog signals with sepa‐
rate cables to minimize interference. Ensure that the required dis‐
tance from the power cables is maintained.
Set selector switches S5.0 / S5.1 appropriately when the analog in‐
puts on the customer terminal strip are used as current or voltage
inputs.
To supply the anti-condensation heating for the motor or the working
machine, the drive must be properly connected to terminals (L1) to
(L3).
The supply voltage of the anti-condensation heating must match the
input voltage. The voltage is supplied at terminals X ... Depending on
which option (option N35 to N38) is chosen, different circuit-breakers
are available with the assigned motor circuit-breaker. Set the motor
circuit-breaker so that it protects the anti-condensation heating. Pro‐
tect the auxiliary supply for the anti-condensation heating with fuses
on the system side. The circuit-breaker is activated by means of the
"Auxiliary equipment OFF" command from the drive controller.
Option L60
The drive is fitted as standard with a category 0 STOP function and
an EMERGENCY OFF button in the control cabinet door. With option
L60, EMERGENCY OFF category 1 (decelerate at current limit) is
defaulted. If the drive is to be integrated in a central EMERGENCY
STOP sequence in the system-side protection concept, floating con‐
tacts are available on terminal strip X...
Terminal X... allows other EMERGENCY OFF buttons in the system
to be looped in.
Signal connections
Operating the drive from a higher-level control system / control room.
Connect the control cables in accordance with the interface assign‐
ment and apply the shield. Route the digital and analog signals with
separate cables to minimize interference. Ensure that the required
distance from the power cables is maintained.
Note that when the analog inputs on the customer terminal strip are
used as current or voltage inputs, the isolation amplifiers ( ... ) must
be set accordingly.

Depending on the drive transformer version (dry or oil filled), inte‐
grate the transformer protection and monitoring devices in the alarm
and shutdown train of the drive. A range of digital inputs are available
for this purpose on the customer terminal strip.
Options L80 to L82
The PTC thermistor sensors (type A PTC resistors) must be connec‐
ted to the thermistor motor protection unit ‑F at terminals T1 and T2
for alarm/shutdown purposes.
Options L91; L93, 94, 95, 96
The resistance thermometers must be connected to evaluation unit
‑A1 to evaluate the PT100. The two-wire or three-wire system can be
used here to connect the PT100 sensors. The sensors are divided
into two groups. This must be taken into account when the evaluation
is performed (factory setting).
To check the correct wiring and macro interconnection, first select
limits below the ambient temperature and check the messages.
After checking the correct wiring and macro interconnection, set the
limit values for alarm and shutdown to match the component moni‐
tored.
Differential pressure monitoring
Check the entry for parameter p0263. The setting
must not exceed 3 seconds.
1. In the infeed, select "Test operation cooling" (infeed p6650).
2. Switch on test operation via infeed p6651.
3. In the cooling system, close the main valve for the cooling water
feed to the drive. The drive must switch off with the following fault:
"F49158 cooling system: Differential pressure has fallen below
the fault threshold".
4. Reopen the valve.
5. Acknowledge the fault and switch test operation off again.
( P6651 = 0, P6650 = 0 )
Connecting Sensor Modules
Option K50
If a function for detecting the actual speed value is provided to im‐
prove speed accuracy, connect the motor rotary pulse encoder to the
SMC30 ( A... ).
Option L32
If, for process-related reasons, the drive needs to be restarted after
power failures of > 100 ms, connect the synchronization voltage of
the line upstream of the medium-voltage circuit-breaker to the VSM
10. To do so, install voltage transformers at the medium-voltage lev‐
el, which supply 3-phase 100 V AC as the synchronization voltage.
Connect the voltage transformers on the drive side to terminals.

Switch-on conditions with water-cooled drives
Before switching on the drive for the first time, you must reduce the
conductivity of the de-ionized water circuit to < 1 µS. After filling the
re-cooling unit, switch it on for several hours before switching on the
drive. The conductivity reduction may also be necessary if the drive
has been out of service for an extended period (such as mainte‐
nance/revision times).

Required tools
To install the connections, you will require:
● Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 10)
● Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 13)
● Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 16/17)
● Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 18/19)
● Hexagon-socket spanner (size 8)
● Torque spanner, max. 50 Nm
● Screwdriver, size 2
