Target group
This documentation is intended for machine manufacturers, commissioning engineers, and
service personnel who use the SINAMICS drive system.
Benefits
This manual provides all of the information, procedures and operator actions required for the
particular usage phase.
Standard scope
The scope of the functionality described in this document can differ from that of the drive
system that is actually supplied.
●Other functions not described in this documentation might be able 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 service.
●The documentation can also contain descriptions of functions that are not available in a
particular product version of the drive system. 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, and cannot take into consideration every conceivable type of
installation, operation and service/maintenance.

Not relevant standards
China Compulsory Certification
SINAMICS S devices do not fall in the area of validity of the China Compulsory Certification
(CCC).
EMC limit values in South Korea
The EMC limit values to be observed for Korea correspond to the limit values of the EMC
product standard for variable-speed electric drives EN 61800-3 of category C2 or the limit
value class A, Group 1 to KN11. By implementing appropriate additional measures, the limit
values according to category C2 or limit value class A, Group 1, are observed. Further,
additional measures may be required, such as 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 EMC Installation Guideline Configuration Manual.
The final statement regarding compliance with the standard is given by the respective label
attached to the individual unit.
Ensuring reliable operation
The 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 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.
Spare parts
Spare parts are available on the Internet at the following address
(https://www.automation.siemens.com/sow?sap-language=EN).
Product maintenance
The components are subject to continuous further development within the scope of product
maintenance (improvements to robustness, discontinuations of components, etc).
These further developments are "spare parts-compatible" and do not change the article
number.
In the scope of such spare parts-compatible further developments, connector/connection
positions are sometimes changed slightly. This does not cause any problems with proper
use of the components. Please take this fact into consideration in special installation
situations (e.g. allow sufficient clearance for the cable length).
