Safety information
CAUTION
Electro-statically sensitive devices
The converter contains electro-statically sensitive devices. These can easily be destroyed
if they are not handled correctly. If, however, it is absolutely essential for you to work on
electronic modules, please pay careful attention to the following instructions:
• Electronic modules (PCBs) should not be touched unless work has to be carried out on
them.
• Before touching a PCB, the person carrying out the work must himself be electro-
statically discharged. The simplest way of doing this is to touch an electrically
conductive ground object, e.g. socket outlet ground contact.
• PCBs must not be allowed to come into contact with electrically insulating materials *
plastic foil, insulating table tops or clothing made of synthetic fibers *
• PCBs may only be set down or stored on electrically conducting surfaces.
• When carrying out soldering jobs on PCBs, make sure that the soldering tip has been
grounded.
• PCBs and electronic components should generally be packed in electrically conducting
containers (such as metallized-plastic boxes or metal cans) before being stored or
shipped.
• If the use of non-conducting packing containers cannot be avoided, PCBs must
be wrapped in a conducting material before being put in them. Examples of such
materials include electrically conducting foam rubber or household aluminum foil.
For easy reference, the protective measures necessary when dealing with sensitive
electronic components are illustrated in the sketches below.

Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 Base Drive panel description
SINAMICS DCM Base Drive panels are complete drive assemblies ready to be installed into
an enclosure. Base Drive Panels are fully digital, compact units which supply the armature
and field of variable-speed DC motors with rated armature currents from 1500 Amps to
2800 Amps. The motor field circuit can be supplied with DC currents up to 40 Amps,
85 Amps (L85 Option) is available upon request on the 1500A – 2800A Base Drives
(Please consult with your Siemens Representative or send an e-mail to drives-marketing.
industr[email protected]). Each Base Drive panel includes the following components and
factory installed converter options.
• 3-phase Armature Converter
• 1-phase Field Converter
• DC Output Contactors
• Protective Semiconductor Fuses (internal to the Converter)
• Control Power Transformer
• Power and Control Terminals
• Advanced CUD – G00 Option
• PROFINET, EtherNet/IP Communication CBE20 – G20 Option
• Micro Memory Card – S01 Option
• Three phase fan (460V AC) – standard on 1500A – 2800A Base Drives
Providing the Advanced CUD, provides several customer advantages.
• DRIVE-CLiQ connectivity allows for the connection of Terminal Modules (TM15, TM31,
TM150) plus the SMC30 Encoder Module. This gives the customers flexibility for future
expansion of additional Input/Outputs by simply adding DRIVE-CLiQ modules rather than
adding another Advanced CUD board to add additional Inputs/Outputs.
• Option Slot allows the CBE20 to be installed in the Advanced CUD. The CBE20 allows the
drive to utilize ProfiNet or Ethernet-IP communications. The CBE20 can alternatively be
used to provide high speed peer to peer communications with the drives.
2.2 General information
SINAMICS DCM converters are characterized by their compact, space-saving construction.
Their compact design makes them particularly easy to service and maintain since individual
components are readily accessible.
All SINAMICS DCM units are equipped with a BOP20 “Basic operator panel” mounted in the
converter cover. The BOP20 has a backlit two-line display area and 6 keys. It may be used to
acknowledge faults, set parameters and read diagnostic information.
The AOP30 optional advance operator panel can be mounted externally, e.g., in the cubicle
door. When mounted remotely, the AOP30 can be connected to the converter with cables
up to 50 meters (164 feet) in length. Cables up to 200 meters (600 feet) in length can be
used if a separate 24V DC power supply is available. The AOP30 connects to the SINAMICS
DCM through connector X178 using the RS485 interface. The AOP30 can be installed as
an economic alternative to conventional door mounted metering devices (i.e., voltmeters,
ammeters, and speed indicator).

SINAMICS DCM •Base Drive panel instructions (1500A - 2800A DC)
2-2
2 Introduction (continued)
The AOP30 features a liquid crystal display (240 × 64 pixels) with backlighting for plain-text
display and a bar-type display for process variables. English, German, French, Spanish,
Italian and Chinese can be selected as the display languages.
The converter can also be parameterized on a standard PC with appropriate software
connected to the serial interface on the basic unit. This PC interface is used during start-up,
for maintenance during shutdown and for diagnosis in operation.
On 2-quadrant converters, a fully controlled three-phase bridge supplies the armature. On
4-quadrant converters, two fully controlled three-phase bridges are connected in an inverse-
parallel connection to allow both positive and negative armature current. For the field
converter, a single-phase, half-controlled 2-pulse bridge supplies the motor shunt field.
The armature and field converters can operate with AC line frequencies from 45–65 Hz. If
required for a specific application, the frequency of the armature and field AC supplies can be
different. The power section cooling system is monitored by means of temperature sensors.
The power section for the armature and field converters is constructed of isolated thyristor
modules for converters rated from 1500A to 2800A at 575V, 690V, 830V and 950V, 3-phase
AC line voltages. The heat sink in this case is electrically isolated and at ground potential.
The housing and terminal covers on power connections provide protection against
accidental contact for operators working in the vicinity. All connecting terminals are
accessible from the top.
All open and closed-loop drive control and communication functions are performed by
powerful microprocessors. Drive control functions are implemented in the software as
program modules that can be “wired up” and changed by parameters.
2.3 Rated DC current
• The rating plate of the SINAMICS DCM Base drive panel has the rated Armature current
listed of the output rating for IEC DC I constant duty rating.
• The Base Drive Panels are designed using the DC I rating which means that fuses,
contactors and terminal blocks are sized for the full continuous DC I current.
• The DC I rating is the maximum current the power module can supply continuously with
no overload. Because an overload is not possible, the DC I rated current is higher than
the continuous DC II rating.
• The microprocessor calculates the current I2t value of the power section cyclically to
ensure that the thyristors are not damaged in overload operation.
• The DC II rated current allows operation by an overload of 150% for 60 seconds in a 40° C
ambient. The overload can be applied no sooner than every 15 minute intervals.
Overload capability
The rated DC current specified on the unit rating plate (maximum permissible continuous
DC current) may be exceeded in operation. The extent to which this value is exceeded and
how long this lasts are subject to certain limits. The absolute upper limit for the value of the
overload currents is 1.8x the rated DC current. The maximum overload duration depends on
the time characteristic of the overload current, as well as on the load history of the unit,
and also depends on the specific unit. Each overload must be preceded by an under load
(load phase with load current < rated DC current). Once the maximum permissible overload
duration has elapsed, the load current must return to at least an absolute value ≤ the rated
DC current. The SINAMICS DCM Base drive may be operated with five different overload
settings configured in the drive parameters.

2.4 Expandable functionality using SINAMICS components
One of the many features of the SINAMICS DCM Base Drive is its ability to expand its
functionality modularly through the use of coupling supplementary modules from the
SINAMICS drives family to the DRIVE-CLiQ interface. Modules include digital, analog I/O,
external encoder and communications options. As a result, the flexibility, when engineering
the plant or system is increased, costs are optimized at the same time. A complete list of
the option modules can be found in the SINAMICS DCM catalog available from your local
Siemens sales office.
The SINAMICS DCM Base Drive contains one advanced CUD (left) microprocessor board with
the CBE20 installed, and one additional bay for another advanced or standard CUD (right).
In order to optimally fulfill the requirements relating to interfaces and computational
performance for technology functions, a standard or advanced CUD or a combination
can be selected. It is also possible to use two CUDs to increase the performance for
technological open-loop and closed-loop control tasks. This allows optimum adaptation to
the wide range of requirements relating to drive technology and complementary markets —
both technically and economically.

to be ordered in configurations requiring evaluation of a second pulse encoder.
2 To equip two CUDs with one TMC each, option G63 must be ordered twice.
3 Only SMC10 devices with Part # 6SL30550AA005AA3 (slim construction) are supported.
Older SMC10 devices may not be used!
An Advanced CUD must be installed to connect the SMC10. The Standard CUD does not have Drive-Cliq connectors.
Firmware version V1.4 SP1 HF3 or higher is required. If an older Firmware is loaded in the drive and the SMC10 is connected,
the drive will generate fault F01360 – “Topology: Actual topology invalid” with fault value 8 during startup and the drive won’t
be operational.
4 Standard CUD and Advanced CUD parts are meant to be replacements (spare or upgrade) for the CUD supplied with the
Converter. The CUD boards do not include the mounting screws, studs and connector board.
To upgrade the drive with an additional CUD, the customer will need to purchase both the spare CUD and the connector board
(the connector board comes with all of the screws and studs to mount the CUD in the drive) or a CUD Kit which bundles both
the CUD and connector board at a reasonable cost – reference Section 3.4 CUD Kits below.
