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
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
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 firmware version
As these Operating Instructions went to print, SINAMICS DCM converters were being
supplied from the factory with the firmware release specified on the inside front page.
However, these Operating Instructions can, in principle, also apply to other firmware
versions.
●
Older firmware versions:
It is possible that not all of the functions described here are actually available.
●
Newer firmware versions:
It is possible that 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 firmware version is displayed using r50060[6].
Example:
01010203 displayed on the BOP20 means 01.01.02.03 →Version 1.1, Service Pack 2,
Hotfix 3
When required, you can obtain the current firmware from your local Siemens sales office.

Safety instructions

1.1
General safety instructions
WARNING
Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources
Touching live components can result in death or serious injury.
•Only work on electrical equipment if you are appropriately qualified.
•Always observe the country-specific safety rules for all work.
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 by following the
above steps in the reverse order.
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.

Safety instructions
1.1 General safety instructions
SINAMICS DCM DC Converter
18 Operating Instructions, 12/2018, A5E34763375A
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.
•Connect cable shields and unused conductors of power cables (e.g. brake conductors)
at least on one side to the grounded housing potential.
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
Arcing when a plug connection is opened during operation
Opening a plug connection when a system is in operation can result in arcing that may
cause serious injury or death.
•Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a voltage-free state, unless it has
been explicitly stated that they can be opened in operation.
WARNING
Electric shock due to residual charges in power components
Because of the capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to 5 minutes after the
power supply has been switched off. Contact with live parts can result in death or serious
injury.
•Wait for 5 minutes before you check that the unit really is in a no-voltage condition and
start work.
