Fundamental safety instructions
1.1
General safety instructions
WARNING
Danger to life if the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed
If the safety instructions and residual risks in the associated hardware documentation are not observed, accidents involving
severe injuries or death can occur.
•Observe the safety instructions given in the hardware documentation.
•Consider the residual risks for the risk evaluation.
WARNING
Danger to life or malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameterization
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn can lead to injuries or death.
•Protect the parameterization (parameter assignments) against unauthorized access.
•Respond to possible malfunctions by applying suitable measures (e.g. EMERGENCY STOP or EMERGENCY OFF).
1.2
Industrial security
Note
Industrial security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants,
solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are important components in a holistic industrial security concept.
With this in mind, Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly that
you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable preventive action (e.g. cell
protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party
products that may be in use should also be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit this address
(http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
To stay informed about product updates as they occur, sign up for a product-specific newsletter. For more information, visit
this address (http://support.automation.siemens.com).
WARNING
Danger as a result of unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation
Software manipulation (e.g. by viruses, Trojan horses, malware, worms) can cause unsafe operating states to develop in
your installation which can result in death, severe injuries and/or material damage.
•Keep the software up to date.
You will find relevant information and newsletters at this address (http://support.automation.siemens.com).
•Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept for the
installation or machine.
You will find further information at this address (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
•Make sure that you include all installed products into the holistic industrial security concept.
WARNING
Danger to life due to software manipulation when using exchangeable storage media
Storing files onto exchangeable storage media amounts to an increased risk of infection, e.g. with viruses and malware. As
a result of incorrect parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn can lead to injuries or death.
•Protect files stored on exchangeable storage media from malicious software by taking suitable protection measures,
e.g. virus scanners.

Installation
2.1
Mechanical installation
Protection against the spread of fire
The device may be operated only in closed housings or in control cabinets with protective covers that are closed, and when
all of the protective devices are used. The installation of the device in a metal control cabinet or the protection with another
equivalent measure must prevent the spread of fire and emissions outside the control cabinet.
Protection against condensation or electrically conductive contamination
Protect the device, e.g. by installing it in a control cabinet with degree of protection IP54 according to IEC 60529 or
NEMA 12. Further measures may be necessary for particularly critical operating conditions.
If condensation or conductive pollution can be excluded at the installation site, a lower degree of control cabinet protection
may be permitted.
Mounting orientation and clearance
Note
Install the inverter on a metal mounting plate in a control cabinet. The mounting plate has to be unpainted and with a good
electrical conductivity.

2.2
Electrical installation
WARNING
Requirements for United States/Canadian installations (UL/cUL)
For configurations in conformance with UL/cUL, use the UL/cUL approved fuses, circuit breakers and Type E combination
motor controllers (CMC) which are specified in this manual. Refer to the following tables for specific types of branch circuit
protection for each inverter and corresponding Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR). For each frame size, use 75 °C
copper wire only.
This equipment is capable of providing internal motor overload protection according to UL508C/UL61800-5-1. In order to
comply with UL508C/UL61800-5-1, parameter P0610 must not be changed from its factory setting of 6.
For Canadian (cUL) installations the inverter mains supply must be fitted with any external recommended suppressor with
the following features:
•Surge-protective devices; device shall be a Listed Surge-protective device (Category code VZCA and VZCA7)
•Rated nominal voltage 480/277 VAC (for 400 V variants) or 240 VAC (for 230 V variants), 50/60 Hz, three phase (for
400 V variants) or single phase (for 230V variants)
•Clamping voltage VPR = 2000 V (for 400 V variants) / 1000 V (for 230 V variants), IN = 3 kA min, MCOV = 508 VAC
(for 400 V variants) / 264 VAC (for 230V variants), SCCR = 40 kA
•Suitable for Type 1 or Type 2 SPD application
•Clamping shall be provided between phases and also between phase and ground
NOTICE
Inverter damage due to improper mains disconnection
Improper mains disconnection can cause inverter damage.
Do not perform mains diconnection on the motor-side of the system if the inverter is in operation and the output current is
not zero.
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire or electric shock after the opening of the branch-circuit protective device
The opening of the branch-circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been
interrupted. In this case, fire or electric shock can result.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, current-carrying parts and other components of the controller should
be examined and the controller should be replaced if damaged. If burnout of the current element of an overload
relay occurs, the complete overload relay must be replaced.

NOTICE
Damage to the mains terminals
During electrical installation of the inverter frame sizes A and B, use stranded cables or cables with UL/cUL-certified,
suitable fork crimps rather than solid cables or cables with pin crimps for mains terminal connection; for frame size E, use
cables with UL/cUL-certified ring crimps for the mains terminal connections.

WARNING
Danger to life due to fire spreading because of an unsuitable or improperly installed braking resistor
Using an unsuitable or improperly installed braking resistor can cause fires and smoke to develop. Fire and smoke
development can cause severe personal injury or material damage.
•Only use braking resistors that are approved for the inverter.
•Install the braking resistor in accordance with regulations.
•Monitor the temperature of the braking resistor.

1) For more information about current deratings, see the SINAMICS V20 Inverter Operating Instructions.
2) When the input voltage is below the rated value, current deratings are permissible and therefore the voltage-dependent
speed and/or torque may be reduced.
3) To operate FSE (filtered) on IT power supply, make sure you remove the screw for the EMC filter.

Setting connection macros
Functionality
This menu selects which macro is required for standard wiring arrangements. The default one is "Cn000" for connection
macro 0.
Connection macros
Cn001 - BOP as the only control source
Cn002 - Control from terminals (PNP/NPN)
External control - Potentiometer with setpoint
Both NPN and PNP can be realized with the same parame-
ters. You can change the connection of the digital input com-
mon terminal to 24 V or 0 V to decide the mode.

Cn003 - Fixed speeds
Cn004 - Fixed speeds in binary mode
Three fixed speeds with ON/OFF
If several digital inputs are active at the same time, the
selected frequencies are summed, for example, FF1 + FF2
+ FF3.
Fixed speeds with ON command in binary mode
Up to 16 different fixed frequency values (0 Hz, P1001 ...
P1015) can be selected by the fixed frequency selectors
(P1020 ... P1023).
Cn005 - Analog input and fixed frequency
Cn006 - External push button control
The analog input works as an additional setpoint.
If digital input 2 and digit input 3 are active together, the
selected frequencies are summed, that is, FF1 + FF2.
Note that the command sources are pulse signals.
Cn007 - External push buttons with analog control
Cn008 - PID control with analog reference
Note that the command sources are pulse signals.
If a negative setpoint for the PID control is desired, change
the setpoint and feedback wiring as needed.
