Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the relevant information is not taken into account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and
avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Preface
Note
Information on connecting the unit
The inside front cover of the SINAMICS DC MASTER Operating Instructions contains a
summary of the key information required for connecting the unit.
Product name
The SINAMICS DCM documentation uses the following product names:
● SINAMICS DCM
● SINAMICS DC MASTER
Device software version
When these operating instructions went to print, SINAMICS DCM units were being supplied
from the factory with the software release specified on Page 3.
However, these Operating Instructions can, in principle, also apply to other software
versions.
● Older software versions:
It is possible that not all of the functions described here may be available.
● Newer software versions:
It is possible that the SINAMICS DCM may feature additional functions that are not
described in these Operating Instructions. Do not change any parameters that you cannot
find in the List Manual from their factory setting, and do not give parameters any values
that are not specified in the List Manual.
The software release is displayed using r50060[6].
Example:
01010203 displayed on the BOP20 means 01.01.02.03 → Version 1.1, Service Pack 2,
Hotfix 3

Information 1
1.1 Warning information
Note
In the interests of clarity, these Operating Instructions do not contain full details of all
information for all product types and cannot take into account every possible aspect of
installation, operation, or maintenance.
If you require further information, or particular problems arise which these Operating
Instructions do not cover in enough detail, please contact your local Siemens office.
We also draw your attention to the fact that the contents of these Operating Instructions are
not part of and do not modify any prior or existing agreement, commitment, or legal
relationship. Any obligations on the part of Siemens arise from the respective contract of
sale, which also contains the solely valid warranty conditions in full. Any statements
contained in these Operating Instructions neither expand nor restrict the scope of these
contractual warranty conditions.
WARNING
This unit is subject to hazardous voltage levels and contains dangerous rotating machine
parts (fans). Failure to comply with these Operating Instructions can lead to death, serious
physical injury, and material damage.
Even after all of the supply voltages have been switched-off, a hazardous voltage is
available for 1 min.
Only qualified personnel who are familiar with all the safety instructions provided in these
Operating Instructions, as well as the assembly, operating, and maintenance instructions,
should carry out work on this unit.
WARNING
There is electrical separation according to the requirements for protection against electric
shock according to EN61800-5-1 at all customer connections with input/output voltages in
the range up to 60 V DC (DVC A).
This is the reason that only components whose inputs/output voltages lie in this range and
which also have electrical separation can be connected at these connections.

1.1 Warning information
SINAMICS DCM DC Converter
16 Operating Instructions, 1.2012, C98130-A7066-A1-05-7619
DANGER
When this unit is operated, it is inevitable that certain components will be subject to
dangerous electrical voltage levels. Touching these components may lead to serious
physical injury or even death. The following precautions should be taken in order to reduce
the risk to life and limb:
1. Only qualified personnel who are familiar with this unit and the information supplied with
it should be charged with work on the unit involving installation, operation,
troubleshooting and fault correction, or repair.
2. The unit must be installed in accordance with safety regulations (e.g. EN, DIN, or VDE)
as well as all other applicable national or local regulations. Grounding, conductor
dimensioning, and the relevant short-circuit protection work must be carried out correctly
in order to ensure operational safety.
3. The unit must be operated with all covers supplied.
The fixing screws for the front cover of the SINAMICS DCM must be tight.
When required, additional covers should be provided in the control cabinet.
4. Before carrying out visual inspections and maintenance work, ensure that the unit is
disconnected from the supply voltage and disabled. Before they are shut down, both the
converter unit and the motor are subject to dangerous voltage levels; these may be
present even when the converter unit's line contactor is open.
5. If measurements need to be taken while the power supply is switched on, do not under
any circumstances touch the electrical connection points. Remove all jewelry from wrists
and fingers. Make sure that the measuring and test equipment is in good condition and
is safe to operate.
6. When working on a unit that is switched on and on an insulated surface, make sure that
no grounding has been put in place.
7. Follow these Operating Instructions faithfully and observe all information concerning
hazards, warnings, or areas where caution is required.
8. This list is not exhaustive and as such cannot outline all the measures required in order
to operate the unit safely. Should you require further information or encounter specific
problems which have not been handled in enough detail for the purposes of the buyer,
please contact your local Siemens office.
CAUTION
Operating the unit in the immediate vicinity (< 1.5 m) of mobile telephones with a
transmitter power of > 1 W may lead to incorrect operation of the unit.
WARNING
The OFF switch on the AOP30 operator panel does not have an EMERGENCY OFF
function.
In order to avoid dangerous incorrect operator actions, the EMERGENCY OFF pushbutton
must be installed in a plant or system at an adequate distance from the AOP30.

1.2 ESD-sensitive components
CAUTION
The electronic boards contain electrostatic sensitive devices. These can be easily
destroyed if not handled properly. If you have to work with electronic modules, please note:
You should only touch electronic modules if absolutely necessary.
If you do have to touch modules, your body must be electrically discharged first.
Boards must not come into contact with highly insulating materials (such as plastic
parts, insulated desktops, articles of clothing manufactured from man-made fibers).
Modules must only be set down on conductive surfaces.
Boards and components should only be stored and transported in conductive packaging
(such as metalized plastic boxes or metal containers).
If the packaging material is not conductive, the modules must be wrapped with a
conductive packaging material (such as conductive foam rubber or household aluminum
foil).
