Safety Instructions
This Manual contains information which you should carefully observe to ensure
your own personal safety and the prevention of material damage. Notices which
are relevant to your own personal safety are highlighted by a safety alert symbol;
notices which are relevant only to equipment and property damage have no safety
alert symbol. The warnings appear in decreasing order of risk as given below.
!Danger
indicates that death or serious injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
!Warning
indicates that death or serious injury may result if proper precautions are not
taken.
!Caution
with a warning triangle indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper
precautions are not taken.
Caution
without a warning triangle this indicates that property damage may occur if proper
precautions are not taken.
Notice
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding
information is not taken into account.

Note
This symbol always appears in this documentation where further, explanatory
information is provided.
If several hazards of different degrees occur, the hazard with the highest degree must
always be given priority. If a warning note with a warning triangle warns of personal
injury, the same warning note can also contain a warning of material damage.
Qualified personnel
The associated device/system may only be set up and operated using this docu-
mentation. A device/system must only be commissioned and operated by qualified
personnel. Qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to com-
mission, ground, and tag equipment, systems, and circuits in accordance with
established safety standards.

ESDS information
!Caution
ElectroStatic Discharge Sensitive devices (ESDS) are individual components,
integrated circuits, or modules that can be damaged by electrostatic fields or
discharges.
Instructions for handling ESDS devices:
SWhen handling electronic components, you must ensure that the person
carrying out the work, the work place, and packaging are properly grounded.
SPersonnel in ESDS areas with conductive flooring may only handle electronic
components if:
– They are grounded with an ESDS wrist band
– They are wearing ESDS shoes or ESDS shoe grounding straps
SElectronic boards should only be touched if absolutely necessary. They must
only be handled on the front panel or, in the case of printed circuit boards, at
the edge.
SElectronic boards must not come into contact with plastics or items of clothing
containing synthetic fibers.
SBoards must only be placed on conductive surfaces (work surfaces with
ESDS surface, conductive ESDS foam, ESDS packing bag, ESDS transport
container).
SElectronic modules must be kept at a distance from data display equipment,
monitors, and televisions (minimum distance from screen: >10 cm).
SMeasurements must only be taken on boards when:
– The measuring device is grounded (with a protective conductor, for
example).
– The measuring head has been temporarily discharged before
measurements are taken on a floating measuring device (e.g. touching a
bare metal controller housing).

Safety information
!Danger
SThe device must not be commissioned until you have ensured that the machine
in which the components described here are to be installed complies with the
98/37/EU Directive.
SSINAMICS devices and AC motors must only be commissioned by suitably
qualified personnel.
SPersonnel must take into account the information provided in the technical
customer documentation for the product, and be familiar with and observe the
specified danger and warning notices.
SHazardous voltages are present in electrical equipment and motors during
operation.
SDangerous axial movements can occur in the system during operation.
SAll work on the electrical system must be carried out when the system has
been disconnected from the power supply.
SSINAMICS devices with AC motors must only be connected to the power
supply via an AC–DC residual–current–operated device with selective switching
once verification has been provided that the SINAMICS device is compatible
with the residual–current–operated device in accordance with EN 50178,
Chapter 5.2.11.2.
!Warning
SThe successful and safe operation of these devices and motors depends on
correct transport, proper storage and installation, as well as careful operation
and maintenance.
SThe specifications in the catalogs and offers also apply to special variants of
the devices and motors.
SIn addition to the danger and warning information provided in the technical
customer documentation, the applicable national, local, and system–specific
regulations and requirements must be taken into account.
SOnly protective extra–low voltages (PELVs) that comply with EN60204–1 must
be connected to all connections and terminals between 0 and 48 V.

Preface
xiv Siemens AG 2006 All rights reserved
SINAMICS S120 Getting Started with the STARTER Commissioning Tool – 03/2006 Edition
!Caution
SThe surface temperature of the motors can reach over +80_C.
SFor this reason, temperature–sensitive parts (lines or electronic components,
for example) must not be placed on or attached to the motor.
SWhen attaching the connecting cables, you must ensure that:
– They are not damaged
– They are not under tension
– They cannot come into contact with any rotating parts.
Caution
SAs part of routine tests, SINAMICS devices with AC motors undergo a voltage
test in accordance with EN 50178. Before the voltage test is performed on the
electrical equipment of industrial machines to EN 60204–1, Section 19.4, all
connectors of SINAMICS equipment must be disconnected/unplugged to
prevent the equipment from being damaged.
SMotors must be connected in accordance with the circuit diagram provided.
They must not be connected directly to the three–phase supply because this
will damage them.
Note
SWhen operated in dry operating areas, SINAMICS equipment with three–phase
motors conforms to low–voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.

Drive Concept
This ”Getting Started” manual uses simple examples to describe how a standard
drive application is configured.
The standard application comprises a minimum configuration of a SINAMICS S120.
Commissioning is carried out using the STARTER commissioning tool.
This chapter provides an introduction to the SINAMICS drive concept.
Note
A detailed description of the drive system is available in the Commissioning
Manual /IH1/ and Equipment Manuals /GH1/ and /GH2/ (see References in the
appendix).

SINAMICS S120 Getting Started with the STARTER Commissioning Tool – 03/2006 Edition
1.1 Components
SINAMICS is a modular system that enables you to build your drive.
The key components of the SINAMICS modular system are:
SControl Unit
SActive Line Module (infeed)
SMotor Module (power section)
SSensor Module
STerminal Module
Fig. 1-1 shows the key drive components (the required 24 V DC power supply, line
filters, line reactors, line contactors, and power cables are not shown):
”DRIVE–CLiQ”
Control Unit
Active Line Module
Motor Module
Terminal Module
Sensor Module
Fig. 1-1 Standard components of the SINAMICS modular system
Interface (component connection)
The central Control Unit communicates with the intelligent, peripheral drive
components (Motor Modules, Terminal Modules, and Sensor Modules) via a
standard digital interface (DRIVE–CLiQ).
The physical arrangement of the connections between the Control Unit and
peripheral drive components is known as the DRIVE–CLiQ topology.
