Preface
Getting Started, 12/2018, 6SL3097-5AG30-0BP0 7
For the SINAMICS Startdrive product – including the installed SINAMICS DCC option
package – this means the following:
The product only sends personal data to SIEMENS AG if the user explicitly requests this.
This occurs in the following cases:
●If the SINAMICS Startdrive program and the SINAMICS DCC option package end
unexpectedly, then the user is given the opportunity to send diagnostics information to
SIEMENS AG for analysis. If the user avails themselves of this option, then their email
address will be collected, transmitted and saved so that they can be contacted in the
event of queries.
●The Totally Integrated Automation UPDATER enables the user to check whether updates
are available for SINAMICS Startdrive and the SINAMICS DCC option package and to
install them. The user can manually check for available updates or activate the
corresponding setting in the TIA UPDATER for automatic updating. If the TIA Automation
Update Server is used for verification or installation purposes, the IP address of the
device used will be transmitted for technical reasons.
Beyond the previously mentioned information, the product only saves personal data in the
project. The user is therefore responsible for ensuring compliance with the statutory data
protection provisions. This applies in particular to the transfer of projects.
The following data must be taken into account.
●Windows login
In the standard configuration, the product saves the login details of the Windows user
together with technical function data (e.g. time stamp) in the project. The specified data is
saved in order to trace changes in large configurations.
For SINAMICS Startdrive and the SINAMICS DCC option package, reference to specific
persons can be established via the project and all elements contained within it (e.g.
devices and diagrams).
The specified data can be viewed in the properties of the project and the elements in
SINAMICS Startdrive and the SINAMICS DCC option package ("Author" property) and,
with the exception of the most recent change to the project, subsequently modified.
●Usernames in the user administration
The product only processes and saves additional personal data when the user explicitly
enables one of the following functions.
Usernames created by the user are saved by the user administration (security settings) to
be able to verify them during subsequent authentication.
●Login for multi-user engineering
For multi-user engineering, various technical function data (e.g. time stamp) are saved
together with the login of the Windows user concerned in order to be able to trace project
changes.
For the three previously mentioned points, the details relating to the specified functions must
be observed in the relevant chapter in the information system of SINAMICS Startdrive and
the SINAMICS DCC option package.
By generating the login or username, personal data can be pseudonymized for the functions.
Deleting the project will cause all personal data saved within it to be deleted too. The
particularities of multi-user engineering should be taken into consideration here (e.g. that the

Preface
8Getting Started, 12/2018, 6SL3097-5AG30-0BP0
project not only needs to be deleted locally from the user's PC, but also from the server
used).

General safety instructions
WARNING
Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
•Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
•Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, the following six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for disconnection. Notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Isolate the drive system from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
switched back on again.
3. Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
4. Check that there is no voltage between any of the power connections, and between any
of the power connections and the protective conductor connection.
5. Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
6. Ensure that the motors cannot move.
7. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water. Switch the energy sources to a safe state.
8. Check that the correct drive system is completely locked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse
sequence.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and fire from supply networks with an excessively high impedance
Excessively low short-circuit currents can lead to the protective devices not tripping or
tripping too late, and thus causing electric shock or a fire.
•In the case of a conductor-conductor or conductor-ground short-circuit, ensure that the
short-circuit current at the point where the inverter is connected to the line supply at
least meets the minimum requirements for the response of the protective device used.
•You must use an additional residual-current device (RCD) if a conductor-ground short
circuit does not reach the short-circuit current required for the protective device to
respond. The required short-circuit current can be too low, especially for TT supply
systems.

WARNING
Risk of electric shock and fire from supply networks with an excessively low impedance
Excessively high short-circuit currents can lead to the protective devices not being able to
interrupt these short-circuit currents and being destroyed, and thus causing electric shock
or a fire.
•Ensure that the prospective short-circuit current at the line terminal of the inverter does
not exceed the breaking capacity (SCCR or Icc) of the protective device used.
WARNING
Electric shock if there is no ground connection
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when
touched, can result in death or severe injury.
•Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.
WARNING
Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply
When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may
carry a hazardous voltage that might result in serious injury or death.
•Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV-
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.
WARNING
Electric shock due to equipment damage
Improper handling may cause damage to equipment. For damaged devices, hazardous
voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components; if touched, this can
result in death or severe injury.
•Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
•Do not use any damaged devices.
WARNING
Electric shock due to unconnected cable shield
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
•As a minimum, connect cable shields and the conductors of power cables that are not
used (e.g. brake cores) at one end at the grounded housing potential.
