High voltages from machines still turning and connected
A rotating machine represents a risk as it can induce dangerous high voltages that are not
immediately de-excited. If the connection to the motor is not isolated or grounded, these
voltages can also remain. If live parts are touched, this can result in death and serious physical
injuries.
Before opening the doors, wait until the connected machine has come to a standstill.
WARNING
High voltages from DC link capacitors
After the mains voltage has been switched off with the "EMERGENCY STOP" pushbutton,
high voltages are still present at the DC link capacitors. In the event of improper handling or
non-observance of the safety instructions, death or serious injury could result.
Wait for the DC link capacitor's discharge time specified on the label on the device. Do not
touch the device during this time. Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
WARNING
High auxiliary voltages
High auxiliary voltages are still present even after shutdown. If live parts are touched, this
can result in death or serious physical injury.
Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.

Safety notes
1.3 Safe handling
WARNING
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
● Excessive pollution
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".
● Remove any excessive pollution.
WARNING
Live, moving or rotating parts
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 necessary covers.
WARNING
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.
Do not touch hot components even after you have switched off the drive.
WARNING
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.
Do not touch the anti-condensation heating.

Safety notes

Description 2
2.1 Overview
Cabinet Applications are components of a modular cabinet unit system. The system is typically
for multi-axis drives with central supply infeed and a common DC link busbar. Typical
applications include, for example, paper machines, rolling mills, test stands, cranes.
All drive components, from the supply infeed to the motor-side inverters, are configured in a
clear, compact layout in the individual Cabinet Applications. Cabinet Applications can be
combined with great flexibility and can be optimally adapted to customer-specific requirements
thanks to a comprehensive array of options.
The main components of the system are as follows:
● Line Connection Modules with line-side components such as contactors, fuses and circuit
breakers, as well as line reactors for Basic Line Modules.
● Line Modules for the infeed using Basic Line Modules for 2-quadrant operation and Active
Line Modules for 4-quadrant operation with line harmonics that can be neglected
● Motor Modules
● Control Units
Standardized interfaces for both the power and the control connections facilitate configuration
and installation. Communication between the power modules and the central Control Unit is
established via DRIVE-CLiQ, the drive-internal serial interface.

2.2 Field of application

The modular drive system is used where several motors have to be coordinated in a drive
lineup to realize a multi-axis drive application.

Description
2.3 Benefits
Typical examples include:

● Paper machines
● Roller mills
● Hoisting gear
● Test stands
Further, single-motor drives with high power ratings can be implemented (parallel connection).
2.3 Benefits
The outstanding system properties offer companies operating plants and systems the following
advantages:
● Process optimization with minimal effort:
– A standard PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface and various analog and digital interfaces
allow them to be easily integrated into automation solutions.
– Vector control ensures that they fulfill the most exacting requirements regarding the
accuracy and dynamic response of drives.
● High level of reliability and availability:
– Individual modules and power components can be replaced quickly and easily, which
ensures a higher level of plant availability.
● Energy savings during operation:
– The motor-side inverters are coupled via the common DC link and allow energy to be
exchanged between motors that are motoring and generating. This means that energy
is saved, there is less load on the supply infeed and line harmonics are reduced.
– The supply infeed is generally only dimensioned for the maximum motor power required /
maximum motor current and not the sum of the energy requirements of the Motor
Modules connected to the DC link. For example, for conveyor systems or engine test
stands with Motor Modules that are simultaneously in the motoring and regenerative
mode, this frequently results in smaller line supplies.
● Cost minimization during operation, maintenance, and service:
– Simple commissioning thanks to the menu-driven "STARTER" commissioning tool.
– Optional, menu-assisted AOP30 Advanced Operator Panel with plain text display and
bar-type display.
– All the unit modules are easily accessible, offering a maximum degree of service
friendliness.
● Space-saving design
● Environmentally-friendly operation:
– The converters are exceptionally quiet and compact thanks to state-of-the-art IGBT
power semiconductors and an innovative cooling concept.

Damaged cables, or their improper routing, can cause damage to property and personal
injury.
● Only use cables that are completely intact and not damaged. Correctly route the cables.
Do not interchange input and output terminals.
● Make sure that a short-circuit cannot occur on the power cables due to failure of the
insulation as a result of incorrect cable installation.
● Check the electrical connections after service work.
NOTICE
Using magnetic parts
The use of magnetic parts (e.g. magnetic cable clamps) is not permitted. Using magnetic
parts can damage the drive.
Only use parts that consist of non-magnetic material.
NOTICE
Improper shrinking of 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.
Note
Control and signal lines must always be connected according to the circuit diagrams supplied
with the unit. Detailed information about connecting the components is given in the
interconnection diagram.
Note
We recommend using shielded cables. Unshielded cables can transfer disturbances to the
control and signal lines and lead to malfunctions in the drive.

5.2 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 contained in
the "Electromagnetic compatibility" section.
See also
Electromagnetic compatibility (Page 77)

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 electric power cable and signal cable should be > 20 cm. The
drive-specific information applies to 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.

● 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 VDC
Unshielded cables for ≤ 25 VAC
Shielded analog signal cables
Shielded bus and data cables
Operator panel interfaces, incremental/absolute encoder cables
– Class 2:
Unshielded cables for > 60 VDC and ≤ 230 VDC
Unshielded cables for > 25 VAC and ≤ 230 VAC
– Class 3:
Unshielded cables for > 230 VAC/VDC and ≤ 1000 VAC/DC
– Class 4:
Unshielded cables for > 1000 VAC/DC
Shield connection
● Do not use cable shields to conduct current. In other words, cable shields must not
simultaneously act as neutral or PE conductors.
● 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 via a wire. This reduces the shield
effectiveness by up to 90%.

● Attach the cable shield to a shield bar directly after the line inlet into the cabinet. Insulate
the shielded cable without any interruptions. Route the cable shield up to the device
connection.
① Shielding bus
② Shielded cable
③ Mounting clip

NOTICE
Damaged or incorrectly mounted cable shielding
Incorrect connection or damaging of the cable shield can impair the function of the system.
● Handle the cable shield carefully.
● Ensure that the cable shield is correctly connected.
● Bridge shield gaps (at terminals, circuit-breakers, contactors, etc.) with minimum
impedance and through the largest possible surface area.
① Shield buses
② Cable
③ Terminals
Figure 5-2 Bridging shield gaps

5.3 Connection
I/O interfacing
● 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.
● The operating coils for contactors and relays in the drive must be connected to overvoltage
limiters (e.g. RC elements or varistors).
● In order to reduce noise/interference entering or exiting via the cable, filter auxiliary voltages
in the control cabinet.
5.3 Connection
5.3.1 Preparations for connecting the power cables

● Disconnect the cabinets from the power supply.
● Ensure that all the necessary safety measures have been taken at the installation location.
● Allow unimpeded access to the cable clamping bar in the cabinets.

You can find the commissioning instructions on the customer DVD.
WARNING
Incorrect commissioning
Malfunctions can occur as a result of incorrect commissioning and parameterization. This can
result in premature failures and subsequent damage to the drive and the drive system
components. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage. Incorrectly
performed commissioning can result in the warranty becoming null and void.
This drive may only be commissioned by electrical technicians that have been adequately
trained on this product, and have experience with commissioning this product and the
associated plant and system components. The electrical technician commissioning the
equipment must be trained on the specific product as a result of the differences between the
individual products, e.g. regarding topology and closed-loop control.

Commissioning
6.2 Commissioning the cooling unit
Note
Operating Instructions
For commissioning the cooling unit, observe its operating instructions. For cooling units
supplied by Siemens, the operating instructions can be found in the terminal box.
Note
Deviating values
When values in the associated operating instructions (e.g. pressure values) deviate from those
of the cooling unit, the values of the associated operating instructions apply.
Note
Requirements placed on the cooling water of the inner cooling circuit
You can find the requirements relating to the cooling water for the inner cooling circuit
(converter cooling water) in the "SINAMICS S120 Power Units Chassis Liquid cooled" Manual
in Chapter "Cooling circuit and cooling properties and condensation protection".
Note
Requirements placed on the cooling water of the outer cooling circuit
Requirements placed on the cooling water of the outer cooling circuit (raw water) of the cooling
unit supplied from Siemens is provided in Chapter "Technical data in Section "Specification of
the untreated water (Page 143)"
6.2.1 Anti-condensation measures

Warm air can condense for liquid-cooled converters. This condensation depends on the air
humidity and the temperature difference between the ambient air and the coolant. If converters
and the cooling system are operated together, the temperature of the system ensures that no
condensation occurs on electrical components.
Factory setting of the coolant temperature

The coolant temperature is set at the factory to 40° C with 60 seconds overrun. The cooling
system continues to run when the converter is switched off. The overrun of the cooling system
prevents condensation in the converter circuit and ensures a control range without derating.
Changes to the coolant temperature

To prevent condensation in the converter circuit, the following requirement must be satisfied:
ambient temperature ≤ coolant temperature < 45° C

Commissioning
Observe the technical data in Chapter: "Converter ambient conditions".
NOTICE
Risk of short-circuit
Condensation in the converter circuit caused by condensate can cause short-circuits in the
converter and damage parts of the converter.
Only change the factory setting of the coolant temperature when absolutely necessary. You
must always maintain the permitted temperature ranges.
NOTICE
Risk of short-circuit
If you operate the cooling system without converters, the temperature of the cooling liquid
can fall below the ambient temperature. The cooling liquid can condense at electrical
components and cause a short-circuit.
Always operate the converters and the cooling system together.
Note
If the temperature of the coolant exceeds 45° C, this can result in derating of the converter.
6.2.2 Filling the cooling circuit
Observe the five safety rules (Page 93).

The commissioning requires a drum pump and a 1/2" hose. Because the coolant is delivered
in 50 l drums, we recommend the use of a drum pump that produces a pressure of 3 bar.
Note
The drum pump is not included in the scope of delivery.
A filling set (consisting of a drum pump, hoses and ball cocks) can be ordered from the
manufacturer of the cooling unit.
For additional information, refer to the operating instructions of the cooling unit.
1. Close all vent cocks and drain cocks.

2. Connect the drum pump with the hose to the filling connections of the cooling unit.
3. Open all ball cocks in the cooling unit.
4. Using the drum pump, pump the coolant into the cooling circuit until the pressure
manometer shows approx. 2.5 bar. To observe the pressure manometer on the expansion
vessel, depending on the version, swivel the pressure manometer from the switch box as
appropriate for the cooling unit version.

Commissioning
Note
Prevent the ingress of dirt and foreign bodies into the cooling circuit.
6.2.2.1 Venting the cooling circuit

Note
You can find additional notes in the "SINAMICS S120 Power Units Chassis Liquid Cooled/
Cooling Circuit and Coolant Properties and Condensation Protection/Commissioning" Manual.
Checking the system standstill pressure

The system standstill pressure falls significantly when the system is vented. Continue filling
coolant into the system via the drum pump until the system standstill pressure is approx. 2.5 bar.
Completing venting
● Vent the pumps and components and refill with short pauses several times.
● Allow the system to stabilize a short time after each venting so that the air can collect at
the highest points. Because the coolant is viscous, the air bubbles only gather at the highest
points slowly and with difficulty.
6.2.3 Commissioning
Proceed as follows to commission the cooler:
1. Switch on the cooling unit power supply.
2. Commission the cooling unit in accordance with the manufacturer's operating instructions.
Note
Please always read the operating instructions of the cooling unit.
3. Switch the cooling unit from automatic operation to manual operation.

Commissioning
4. Switch a pump into manual operation. The water-air mixture is circulated. The air can
accumulate at the highest points. If coolant is still not pumped when the pumps are first
switched on, too much air is still present in the system. You vent the cooling unit as
described in Chapter "Venting the cooling circuit (Page 96)".
NOTICE
Damage to the pumps
The pumps can be damaged if they run dry.
Make sure that the pumps do not run dry.
5. When the pumps operate, monitor the pressure manometer at the expansion vessel on the
suction side of the pumps. The supply pressure increases once the pump feeds coolant.
Although the return pressure decreases, it should not fall below 0.5 bar. To do this, monitor
the pressure manometer at the expansion vessel. If the return pressure falls below 0.5 bar
then there is insufficient coolant in the system. Add coolant as described in Chapter "Filling
the cooling circuit (Page 95)".
6. Monitor the intake and return pump pressure at the operator panel of the cooling unit. The
pump intake pressure should not exceed 5 bar. The integrated pressure relief valve
responds at 6 bar.
7. After running the pump briefly, vent again as described in Chapter "Venting the cooling
circuit (Page 96)"
8. The three-way valve in the idle state is at position "0". The cooling water is fed past the
heat exchanger and air remains in the heat exchanger. When pumping, set the three-way
valve to the "1" position. The heat exchanger fills with coolant. and displaces the air.
6.2.4 Control of the cooling unit
To operate the cooling unit automatically, communication with a higher-level controller is

necessary. The Siemens Logo control of the cooling unit communicates with the converter via
DRIVE-CLiQ. To realize this, there must be a DRIVE-CLiQ connection between the CU320
Control Unit of the converter and terminal TM31 of the cooling unit.
The converter communicates using the commands and feedback signals of the cooling unit
described in the following.
The following figure illustrates the communication between the controller of the cooling unit

surface of the cloth. For severe pollution, use a cleaning cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol, but not
to the extent that the alcohol drips.

Servicing
8.5 Repairs
8.4.3 Cleaning aluminum parts

The surface of untreated aluminum is always covered by a thin but dense oxide skin. The
affinity of aluminum to oxygen is sufficiently strong that if the oxide skin is scratched, the metal
reacts immediately with oxygen in the air. This forms a new oxide skin. This natural oxide layer
acts as surface protection and is the reason for the good weathering resistance of aluminum
materials. In most cases, this means that additional protective measures are superfluous.
Remove particularly greasy deposits with ethyl alcohol. If there are other heavily polluted areas,
use ESD-compliant fiber or plastic brushes to clean them.
NOTICE
Unsuitable cleaning chemicals for aluminum
Any strongly alkaline chemicals such as caustic potash or soda as well as acids corrode the
aluminum and roughen the surface. The agents often recommended for cleaning glass also
exhibit this effect and must therefore not be used on aluminum.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for aluminum.
NOTICE
Unsuitable cleaning utensils for aluminum
The use of unsuitable cleaning cloths and brushes may transfer metallic, corrosion-inducing
impurities onto the aluminum. This can result in corrosion damage.
● Use ESD-compliant brushes and cloths.
● Do not use cleaning cloths and brushes that have been treated with copper, brass, bronze
or other heavy metals.
● Use neither brass, bronze, or steel-wire brushes nor cloths or steel wool interwoven with
copper wire.
8.5 Repairs
WARNING
Insufficient cable insulation
Improperly laid or damaged cables and incorrectly attached cable shieldings can heat up in
places and cause fires or short-circuits wherever they make contact.
● Check whether all the cable shields are intact.
● Insulate damaged cable shields.
● Make sure that a short-circuit cannot occur on the power cables due to failure of the
insulation as a result of incorrect cable installation.
