Product information 07/2015
Modified behavior when commissioning the drive
With firmware V4.7 SP3, the commissioning Wizard has been revised and standardized for the
following inverters:
•SINAMICS G120 with PM240, PM240-2 or PM330 Power Module
•SINAMICS G120C
The SINAMICS application classes Standard Drive Control, Dynamic Drive Control and Expert
have been newly developed. The commissioning Wizard sets the application class depending on
the particular inverter:
•Standard Drive Control for SINAMICS G120C and SINAMICS G120 with Power Module
PM240, PM240-2 up to frame size FSD
•Dynamic Drive Control for SINAMICS G120 with PM240, PM240-2 Power Modules from
frame size FSD and with PM330 Power Modules
•Expert for SINAMICS G120 with PM230, PM250 and PM260 Power Modules
Motor data identification (MotID) is permanently set for Standard Drive Control. After the
commissioning Wizard has been exited, the inverter responds to the first ON command as follows:
1. The inverter carries out a MotID with the motor at a standstill. The duration of the MotID,
when compared to firmware V4.7, was shortened to approx. ⅓.
2. The inverter accelerates the motor to the specified setpoint. The second ON command
after the MotID is not necessary for Standard Drive Control.
For Dynamic Drive Control, a MotID is also set as default with the motor at a standstill. The default
setting can be changed:
•In addition, you can also select the MotID with rotating measurement. The inverter
optimizes the closed-loop speed control based on the results of the rotating measurement.
•You can select as to whether, after the MotID, the motor immediately accelerates to the
specified setpoint, or a second ON command is required.
To a large extent, Expert corresponds to the commissioning Wizard for firmware < V4.7 SP3.
A MotID is not set as default. You can select the following:
•No MotID, MotID with measurement with the motor at a standstill or MotID with rotating
measurement
•After the MotID, the motor immediately accelerates to the specified setpoint, or only after a
second ON command.
The following commissioning tools support the new commissioning wizard:
•STARTER from 4.4 SP1 or higher
•Startdrive from V13 SP1 and higher with Hardware Support Package V4.7 SP3
•IOP from V1.6 and higher
•BOP-2

DANGER
Danger to life due to live parts and other energy sources
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
•Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
•Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for shutdown and notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Disconnect the machine from the supply.
–Switch off the machine.
–Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
–Check that it really is in a no-voltage condition, from phase conductor to phase
conductor and phase conductor to protective conductor.
–Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
–Ensure that the motors cannot move.
3. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water.
4. Isolate or neutralize all hazardous energy sources by closing switches, grounding or
short-circuiting or closing valves, for example.
5. Secure the energy sources against switching on again.
6. Ensure that the correct machine is completely interlocked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse
sequence.

1.5 Residual risks of power drive systems
1.5
Residual risks of power drive systems
The control and drive components of a drive system are approved for industrial and
commercial use in industrial line supplies. Their use in public line supplies requires a
different configuration and/or additional measures.
These components may only be operated in closed housings or in higher-level control
cabinets with protective covers that are closed, and when all of the protective devices are
used.
These components may only be handled by qualified and trained technical personnel who
are knowledgeable and observe all of the safety instructions on the components and in the
associated technical user documentation.
When assessing the machine's risk in accordance with the respective local regulations (e.g.,
EC Machinery Directive), the machine manufacturer must take into account the following
residual risks emanating from the control and drive components of a drive system:
1. Unintentional movements of driven machine components during commissioning,
operation, maintenance, and repairs caused by, for example,
–Hardware and/or software errors in the sensors, control system, actuators, and cables
and connections
–Response times of the control system and of the drive
–Operation and/or environmental conditions outside the specification
–Condensation/conductive contamination
–Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
–Use of wireless devices/mobile phones in the immediate vicinity of the control system
–External influences/damage
2. In the event of a fault, exceptionally high temperatures, including an open fire, as well as
emissions of light, noise, particles, gases, etc. can occur inside and outside the inverter,
e.g.:
–Component failure
–Software errors
–Operation and/or environmental conditions outside the specification
–External influences/damage
Inverters of the Open Type/IP20 degree of protection must be installed in a metal control
cabinet (or protected by another equivalent measure) such that contact with fire inside
and outside the inverter is not possible.

3. Hazardous shock voltages caused by, for example,
–Component failure
–Influence during electrostatic charging
–Induction of voltages in moving motors
–Operation and/or environmental conditions outside the specification
–Condensation/conductive contamination
–External influences/damage
4. Electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated in operation that can pose a
risk to people with a pacemaker, implants or metal replacement joints, etc., if they are too
close
5. Release of environmental pollutants or emissions as a result of improper operation of the
system and/or failure to dispose of components safely and correctly
Note
The components must be protected against conductive contamination (e.g. by installing them
in a control cabinet with degree of protection IP54 accor
ding to IEC 60529 or NEMA 12).
Assuming that conductive contamination at the installation site can definitely be excluded, a
lower degree of cabinet protection may be permitted.
