Benefits
This Manual describes all the information, procedures and operational instructions required
for commissioning and servicing SINAMICS S120.
Standard scope
The scope of the functionality described in this document may differ from the scope of the
functionality of the drive system that is actually supplied.
● It may be possible for other functions not described in this documentation to be executed
in the drive system. However, no claim can be made regarding the availability of these
functions when the equipment is first supplied or in the event of servicing.
● Functions that are not available in a particular product version of the drive system may be
described in the documentation. The functionality of the supplied drive system should
only be taken from the ordering documentation.
● Extensions or changes made by the machine manufacturer must be documented by the
machine manufacturer.
For reasons of clarity, this documentation does not contain all of the detailed information on
all of the product types. This documentation cannot take into consideration every
conceivable type of installation, operation and service/maintenance.

Preface
Commissioning Manual
6 Commissioning Manual, (IH1), 01/2012, 6SL3097-4AF00-0BP2
Note
SINAMICS S units fulfill EMC Directive 2004/108/EC in the configuration specified in the
associated EC Declaration of Conformity for EMC and when the EMC installation guideline
provided in the Configuration Manual with Order No. 6FC5297-0AD30-0P is
implemented.
Note
The Commissioning Manual describes a desired state, which, if maintained, ensures the
required level of operational reliability and compliance with EMC limit values.
Should there be any deviation from the requirements in the Commissioning Manual,
appropriate actions (e.g. measurements) must be taken to check/prove that the required
level of operational reliability and compliance with EMC limit values are ensured.
EMC limit values in South Korea
The EMC limit values to be complied with for South Korea correspond to the limit values of
the EMC product standard for variable-speed electric drives EN 61800-3, Category C2 or
limit value class A, Group 1 according to EN 55011. By applying suitable supplementary
measures, the limit values according to Category C2 or according to limit value class A,
Group 1, are maintained. Further, additional measures may be required, for instance, using
an additional radio interference suppression filter (EMC filter).
The measures for EMC-compliant design of the system are described in detail in this manual
respectively in the Installation Guideline EMC.
Please note that the final statement on compliance with the standard is given by the
respective label attached to the individual unit.
Spare parts
Spare parts are available on the Internet at:
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/16612315
Test certificates
The Safety Integrated functions of SINAMICS components are generally certified by
independent institutes. An up-to-date list of already certified components is available on
request from your local Siemens office. If you have any questions relating to certifications
that have not been completed, please ask your Siemens contact.

ESD Notes
CAUTION
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are single components, integrated circuits or devices
that can be damaged by electrostatic fields or electrostatic discharges.
Regulations for the ESD handling:
During the handling of electronic components, pay attention to the grounding of the person,
workplace and packaging!
Electronic components may be touched by persons only when
these persons are grounded using an ESD bracelet, or
these persons in ESD areas with a conducting floor wear ESD shoes or ESD grounding
straps.
Electronic components should be touched only when this is unavoidable. The touching is
permitted only on the front panel or on the circuit board edge.
Electronic components must not be brought into contact with plastics or clothing made of
artificial fibers.
Electronic components may only be placed on conducting surfaces (table with ESD coating,
conducting ESD foamed material, ESD packing bag, ESD transport container).
Electronic components may not be placed near display units, monitors or televisions
(minimum distance from the screen > 10 cm).
Measurements must only be taken on boards when the measuring instrument is grounded
(via protective conductors, for example) or the measuring probe is briefly discharged before
measurements are taken with an isolated measuring device (for example, touching a bare
metal housing).

Safety notices
DANGER
Commissioning is absolutely prohibited until it has been completely ensured that the
machine, in which the components described here are to be installed, is in full
compliance with the provisions of the EC Machinery Directive.
SINAMICS devices and AC motors may only be commissioned by suitably qualified
personnel.
The personnel 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.
When electrical equipment and motors are operated, the electrical circuits automatically
conduct a dangerous voltage.
Dangerous mechanical movements are possible during system operations.
All the work carried out on the electrical machine or system must be carried out with it in
a no-voltage condition.
SINAMICS devices with three-phase motors must only be connected to the power
supply via a universal current-sensitive residual current operated device with selective
switching once it has been verified that the SINAMICS device is compatible with the
residual current operated device in accordance with IEC 61800-5-1.
WARNING
The successful and safe operation of this equipment and motors is dependent on
professional transport, storage, installation and mounting as well as careful operations,
service and maintenance.
Information and data from the catalogs and quotations also apply to special versions of
the equipment and motors.
In addition to the danger and warning information provided in the technical customer
documentation, the applicable national, local, and plant-specific regulations and
requirements must be taken into account.
Only protective extra-low voltages (PELV) that comply with EN60204-1 may be
connected to all connections and terminals between 0 and 48 V.

Preface
Commissioning Manual
10 Commissioning Manual, (IH1), 01/2012, 6SL3097-4AF00-0BP2
CAUTION
The motors can have surface temperatures of over +80 °C.
This is why temperature-sensitive components, e.g. cables or electronic components
must not be in contact with or attached to the motor.
When connecting up cables, please ensure that they
– are not damaged
– are not subject to tensile stress
– cannot be touched by rotating components.
CAUTION
As part of routine tests, SINAMICS devices with three-phase motors are subject to a
voltage test in accordance with EN 61800-5-1. Before the voltage test is performed on
the electrical equipment of industrial machines to EN 60204-1, Section 18.4, all
connectors of SINAMICS devices must be disconnected/withdrawn to prevent the
equipment from being damaged.
Motors should be connected up according to the circuit diagram provided otherwise they
may be destroyed.
CAUTION
Terminals for pulse inhibit (EP terminals)
The Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function must be parameterized in order to use the pulse
inhibit terminals at the Motor Modules, booksize, booksize compact, chassis and Cabinet
Modules and at the Power Modules, chassis and blocksize. (Safety Integrated Basic
Functions or Extended Functions)
Here, the procedure is described in the FHS and FH1 Function Manuals.
Note
When operated in dry areas, SINAMICS devices with three-phase motors conform to Low-
Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.

Before commissioning observe the conditions described in this chapter.
● The preconditions for commissioning must be fulfilled (in the next chapter).
● The relevant checklist must have been worked through.
● The bus components required for communication must be wired up.
● DRIVE-CLiQ wiring rules must be adhered to.
● ON-OFF responses of the drive
1.1 Requirements for commissioning
The following are necessary for commissioning a SINAMICS S drive system:
● A programming device (PG/PC)
● STARTER commissioning tool
● A communication interface, e.g. PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Ethernet, CAN bus or USS
(RS232-C)
● Completely wired-up drive line-up (see the SINAMICS S120 Manual)

1.2 Check lists to commission SINAMICS S
Checklist (1) for commissioning booksize power units
The following checklist must be carefully observed. Read the safety instructions in the
Manuals before starting any work.
Table 1- 1 Checklist for commissioning (booksize)
Check OK
Are the environmental conditions in the permissible range?
