Safety information

Note
The cabinets contain components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge. These
components can be easily destroyed if not handled properly. If you do have to use electronic
boards, however, please observe the following:
1. You should only touch electronic boards if absolutely necessary.
2. When you touch boards, however, your body must be electrically discharged beforehand. For this
purpose, you are advised to wear a grounded ESD wrist band.
3. Boards must not come into contact with highly insulating materials (such as plastic parts, insulated
desktops, articles of clothing manufactured from man-made fibers).
4. Boards must only be placed on conductive surfaces.
5. 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 boards must be wrapped with a conductive
packaging material (e.g. conductive foam rubber or household aluminum foil).

4.2.1 Important notes

Warning
The following must be taken into account when the cabinets are transported:
• The cabinets are heavy. Their center of gravity is displaced, and they can be top heavy.
• It must be ensured that the ground at the installation location is strong enough to bear the weight of
the cabinets.
• Suitable hoisting gear operated by trained personnel is also required due to the weight of the
cabinets.
• The cabinets must only be transported in the upright position indicated. The cabinets must not be
transported upside down or horizontally.
• Serious injury or even death and substantial material damage can occur if the cabinets are not
lifted or transported properly.

Notes regarding transportation

Note
• The cabinets are packaged by the manufacturers in accordance with the climatic conditions and
stress encountered during transit and in the recipient country.
• The notes on the packaging for transportation, storage, and proper handling must be observed.
• The cabinets must be carried on a wooden palette when transported with fork-lift trucks.
IMPORTANT
The cabinets must not be disassembled when they are on the wooden palettes.

4.3.1.2 Preparatory Steps

On-site requirements
The cabinets are suitable for installation in general operating areas (DlN VDE 0558 / Edition
7.87, Part 1 / Section 5.4.3.2.4).
The standard specifies the following:
When power conversion units are installed in general operating areas, live parts must be
protected in such a way that they cannot be touched either directly or indirectly.
The operating areas must be dry and free of dust. The air supplied must not contain any
electrically conductive gas, vapors, or dust, which could impair the function of the devices. It
may be necessary to filter the air supplied to the installation room. If the air contains dust,
filter mats (option M54) can be installed in front of the ventilation grilles on the cabinet doors
and the optional hoods. Option M54 offers additional protection against water sprayed
against the housing from any direction.

4.3.3 Electrical installation

4.3.3.1 EMC compliant design: basic information

Danger
The cabinets are operated with high voltages.
All connection procedures must be carried out when the cabinet is de-energized.
All work on the units must be carried out by trained personnel only.
Death, serious injury, or substantial material damage can result if these warnings are not
taken into account.
Work on an open cabinet must be carried out with extreme caution because external supply
voltages may be present. The power and control terminals may be live even when the motor
is not running.
Dangerously high voltage levels are still present in the cabinet up to five minutes after it has
been disconnected due to the DC link capacitors. For this reason, the cabinet should not be
opened until after a reasonable period of time has elapsed.
Reforming the DC link capacitors:
The storage period should not exceed two years. If the device is stored for more than two
years, the DC link capacitors of the cabinet must be reformed during commissioning.
The reforming procedure is described in "Maintenance and Servicing” in the S120
Equipment Manual.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the motor, inverter, and other devices are
installed and connected in accordance with the recognized technical rules in the country of
installation and applicable regional regulations. Special attention should be paid to cable
dimensioning, fuses, grounding, shutdown, disconnection, and overcurrent protection.
If an item of protective gear trips in a branch circuit, a leakage current may have been
disconnected. To reduce the risk of fire or an electric shock, the current-carrying parts and
other components in the cabinet should be inspected and damaged parts replaced. When an
item of protective gear trips, the cause of the trip must be identified and rectified.

Note
Not only do the cabinets come in a range of different sizes, but they also differ in other ways.
The main differences are:
12. The covers used may have different dimensions, be made of different materials (Makrolon or
metal), or may be arranged and secured in different ways.
13. Shield strips may be provided in some cabinets but not in others.
14. The cabinet components may be arranged differently.
15. Methods of securing the cabinet components may vary.

These variations result from different cabinet requirements and components/equipment

installed in the cabinets. These differences are intentional and exist for "EMC optimization"
reasons.

4-18 Manual, (GH), Edition 6.2005, A5E00427098A
 Content Start

General
4.3 Installation

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the capability of an electrical device to

function satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without itself causing interference
unacceptable for other devices in the environment.
EMC, therefore, represents a quality standard for the following:
• Internal noise immunity: resistance against internal electrical disturbances
• External noise immunity: resistance against external electromagnetic disturbances
• Noise emission level: environmental effects caused by electromagnetic emissions
To ensure that the cabinet functions satisfactorily in the system, the environment subject to
interference must not be neglected. For this reason, special requirements exist regarding the
structure and the EMC of the system.

Operational reliability and noise immunity

Measures must be taken by the inverter manufacturer and the operator to ensure the
greatest possible level of operational reliability and noise immunity within the entire system
(inverters, automation systems, drive motors, and so on). Only when all of these measures
have been taken are the satisfactory function of the inverter and compliance with the legal
requirements (89/336/EEC) ensured.

Noise emissions
Product standard EN 61800 – 3 outlines the EMC requirements for variable-speed drive
systems. It specifies requirements for inverters with operating voltages of less than 1000 V.
Different environments and categories are defined depending on where the drive system is
installed.

Avoiding bearing currents

When the motor is operated on a converter, insulated bearings are to be used in the motor.
The bearing insulation must not be bridged. Damage may be caused to the bearings if there
is a flow of current. Make sure that in addition to the grounding of the motor via the solid PE
conductor, the radio-frequency grounding is supplemented with braided flat copper cables or
RF stranded conductors with contacting on a large surface area. Solid copper cables are not
suitable for RF grounding because of the skin effect.

Selecting and connecting the cable

Use symmetrically constructed, shielded connection cables to connect the motor to a
converter. The cable shielding, made up of as many strands as possible, must have good
electrical conductivity. Braided shields made of copper or aluminum are well suited. The
shield must be connected at both ends to the motor and the converter; unshielded cable
ends must be kept as short as possible. To ensure good discharging of high-frequency
currents, provide contacting over a large surface area. 360° contacting is required at the
converter and the motor, for example by means of EMC screwed glands at the cable entry
ports.

General
4.3 Installation

Measures to reduce bearing currents

To specifically reduce and prevent damage caused by bearing currents, you must consider
the system as a whole, made up of the motor, converter, and driven machine. Important
points which help to prevent bearing currents include:
Setting up a properly meshed grounding system in the system as a whole, with low
impedance for high-frequency currents.
No potential difference between the motor, converter, and working machine.
• Use symmetrical, shielded connection cables.
• Connect the cable shield at both ends with the greatest possible surface area (360°
contact).
• Use equipotential bonding conductors between the motor and the working machine, the
motor and the converter, within the motor, as well as between the terminal boxes and the
HF grounding position on the motor housing.

Shield Gaps
• Bridge shield gaps (at terminals, circuit-breakers, contactors, and so on) with minimum
impedance and the greatest possible surface area.

Figure 4-8 Bridging shield gaps

Using large cross-sections

• Use underground and grounding cables with large cross-sections or, better still, with litz
wires or flexible cables.

Laying the motor supply cable separately

• The distance between the motor supply cable and signal cable should be > 20 cm. Do not
lay power cables and motor supply cables in parallel to each other.

Securing the potential to ground between modules with widely differing interference potential
• If relays, contactors, and inductive or capacitive loads are connected, the switching relays
or contactors must be provided with anti-interference elements.

Cable installation
• Cables that are subject to or sensitive to interference should be laid as far apart from
each other as possible.
• Noise immunity increases when the cables are laid close to the ground potential. For this
reason, you are advised to lay these cables in corners and on the ground potential.
• Ground the spare cables on at least one end.
• Long cables should be shortened or laid in noise resistant areas to avoid additional
connecting points.
• Conductors or cables that carry signals of different classes must cross at right angles,
especially if they carry sensitive signals that are subject to interference.

Shield connection
• Shields must not be used to conduct electricity. In other words, they must not
simultaneously act as neutral or PE conductors.
• Apply the shield so that it covers the greatest possible surface area. You can use ground
clamps, ground terminals, or ground screw connections.
• Avoid extending the shield to the grounding point using a wire (pigtail) because this will
reduce the effectiveness of the shield by up to 90%.
• Attach the shield to a shield bar directly after the line inlet into the cabinet. Insulate the
entire shielded cable and route the shield up to the device connection.

Figure 4-9 Shield connection with clip

Caution
The shield must not be damaged.

I/O connection
• Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
and distributed devices with the largest possible cross-section (at least 16 mm²).
• Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
• Choose the greatest possible clearance between the power and signal cables (at least 20
cm). The greater the distance over which the cables are routed in parallel, the greater the
clearance must be. If a sufficient clearance cannot be maintained, you must install
additional shields.
• Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.

Filtering cables
• Line supply cables and power supply cables for devices and modules may have to be
filtered in the cabinet to reduce incoming or outgoing disturbances.

4.3.4 Electrical checklist

Important safety precautions

Danger
The cabinets are operated with high voltages.
All connection procedures must be carried out when the cabinet is de-energized.
All work on the units must be carried out by trained personnel only.
Death, serious injury, or substantial material damage can result if these warnings are not
taken into account.
Work on an open device must be carried out with extreme caution because external supply
voltages may be present. The power and control terminals may be live even when the motor
is not running.
Dangerously high voltage levels are still present in the cabinet up to five minutes after it has
been disconnected due to the DC link capacitors. For this reason, the cabinet should not be
opened until after a reasonable period of time has elapsed.
Reforming the DC link capacitors:
The storage period should not exceed two years. If the device is stored for more than two
years, the DC link capacitors of the devices must be reformed during commissioning.
The reforming procedure is described in the section "Reforming the DC link capacitors".
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the motor, Motor Module, and other devices are
installed and connected in accordance with the recognized technical rules in the country of
installation and applicable regional regulations. Special attention should be paid to cable
dimensioning, fuses, grounding, shutdown, disconnection, and overcurrent protection.
If an item of protective gear trips in a branch circuit, a leakage current may have been
disconnected. To reduce the risk of fire or an electric shock, the current-carrying parts and
other components in the cabinet should be inspected and damaged parts replaced. When an
item of protective gear trips, the cause of the trip must be identified and rectified.

Checklist
Use the following checklist to guide you through the electrical installation procedure for the
cabinet. Read all the safety instructions in the document "Warnings safety information"
before carrying out any work on the equipment.
For wiring instructions, see the "Electrical installation" section or refer to the documents
listed in the table below.

Note
Check the boxes accordingly in the right-hand column if the activity applies to the cabinet
unit in your scope of supply. In the same way, check the boxes once you have finished the
installation procedure to confirm that the activities are complete.

A connection with the ground for the entire
system must also be established.
-> See "PE busbar"
6 The maximum permissible cable lengths between the Motor
Module and motor must be observed depending on the type of
cable used.
The cables must be properly connected with a torque of 50 Nm to
the cabinet terminals. The cables for the motor and low-voltage
switchgear must also be connected with the required torques.
7 When several cabinets are arranged in a row, the DC link busbars
must be connected to each other by means of the jumpers
provided.
-> See "DC link busbars".
8 The DC connection must be established properly and all the fuses
must be checked to ensure that they are secure.
-> See "DC switch".
9 The cable shields must be properly applied.
10 The voltage for the fan transformer in the Motor Module must be
set.
-> See "Electrical installation".
11 The type plate can be used to ascertain the date of manufacture.
If the period from the date of manufacture to initial commissioning
or the cabinet downtime is less than two years, the DC link
capacitors do not have to be reformed. If the downtime period is
longer than two years, they must be reformed in accordance with
the description in the section "Reforming the DC link capacitors".

2. Remove approx. 3 cm of the protective sheath at the level of the left-hand shield plate
in the lower part of the cabinet and attach the cable. To secure the cable in accordance
with EMC requirements, snap the clip onto the shield plate.
3. Route the cable further up into the cabinet and, when it reaches the Sensor Module,
route it to the right toward the terminal block. Use clips to secure it in accordance with
EMC requirements.

4.5.1 Important Safety Precautions

Important Safety Precautions

Danger
The cabinets are operated with high voltages.
All connection procedures must be carried out when the cabinet is de-energized.
All work on the units must be carried out by trained personnel only.
Death, serious injury, or substantial material damage can result if these warnings are not
taken into account.
Work on an open device must be carried out with extreme caution because external supply
voltages may be present. The power and control terminals may be live even when the motor
is not running.
Dangerously high voltage levels are still present in the cabinet up to five minutes after it has
been disconnected due to the DC link capacitors. For this reason, the cabinet should not be
opened until after a reasonable period of time has elapsed.
Reforming the DC link capacitors:
The storage period should not exceed two years. If the device is stored for more than two
years, the DC link capacitors of the devices must be reformed during commissioning.
The reforming procedure is described in the S120 Equipment Manual LT Chassis in the
"Maintenance and Servicing” chapter.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the motor, Motor Module, and other devices are
installed and connected in accordance with the recognized technical rules in the country of
installation and applicable regional regulations. Special attention should be paid to cable
dimensioning, fuses, grounding, shutdown, disconnection, and overcurrent protection.
If an item of protective gear trips in a branch circuit, a leakage current may have been
disconnected. To reduce the risk of fire or an electric shock, the current-carrying parts and
other components in the cabinet should be inspected and damaged parts replaced. When an
item of protective gear trips, the cause of the trip must be identified and rectified.

4.6 Service and maintenance

4.6.1 General danger and warning information

Maintenance

Danger
Before carrying out maintenance work on the de-energized cabinet, wait for 5 minutes after
switching off the power supply. This allows the capacitors to discharge to a harmless level (<
25 V) after the supply voltage has been switched off.
Before starting work, you should also measure the DC link voltage after the 5 minutes have
elapsed!
When the external power supply (e.g. L55) or the external 230 auxiliary supply is connected,
dangerous voltages are still present in the cabinet even when the main circuit-breaker is
open.
Beware of any residual rotation of the fan.

The cabinet comprises mostly electronic components. Apart from the fan(s), therefore, it
contains hardly any components that are subject to wear or that require maintenance or
servicing. The purpose of maintenance is to preserve the specified condition of the cabinet.
Dirt and contamination must be removed regularly and parts subject to wear replaced.
The following points must generally be observed.

4.6.2 Cleaning the cabinet

Dust deposits
Dust deposits inside the cabinet must be removed at regular intervals (or at least once a
year) by qualified personnel in line with the relevant safety regulations. The unit must be
cleaned using a brush and vacuum cleaner, and dry compressed air (max. 1 bar) for areas
that cannot be easily reached.

Ventilation
The ventilation openings in the cabinet must never be obstructed. The fan must be checked
to make sure that it is functioning correctly.

General
4.6 Service and maintenance

Cable and screw terminals

Cable and screw terminals must be checked regularly to ensure that they are secure in
position, and if necessary, retightened. Cabling must be checked for defects. Defective parts
must be replaced immediately.

Note
The actual intervals at which maintenance procedures are to be performed depend on the
installation conditions (cabinet environment) and the operating conditions.
Siemens offers its customers support in the form of a service contract. For further details,
contact your regional office or sales office.

4.6.3 Maintaining the cabinet

Maintenance
Servicing involves activities and procedures for maintaining and restoring the operating
condition of the cabinet.

Required Tools
The following tools are required for replacing components:
• Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 10)
• Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 13)
• Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 16/17)
• Spanner or socket spanner (w/f 18/19)
• Hexagon-socket spanner (size 8)
• Torque spanner, max. 50 Nm
• Screwdriver size 1 / 2

4.6.4 Replacing components

Danger
The following must be taken into account when the devices are transported:
10. Some of the devices are heavy or top heavy.
11. Due to their weight, the devices must be handled with care by trained personnel.
12. Serious injury or even death and substantial material damage can occur if the devices are not lifted
or transported properly.

Warning
The cabinets are operated with high voltages.
All connection procedures must be carried out when the cabinet is de-energized.
All work on the cabinet must be carried out by trained personnel only. Death, serious injury,
or substantial material damage can result if these warnings are not taken into account.
Work on an open cabinet must be carried out with extreme caution because external supply
voltages may be present. The power and control terminals may be live even when the motor
is not running.
Dangerously high voltage levels are still present in the cabinet up to five minutes after it has
been disconnected due to the DC link capacitors. For this reason, the cabinet should not be
opened until after a reasonable period of time has elapsed.

4.6.4.1 Installation device for power blocks

Installation device for power blocks

The installation device is used for installing and removing the power blocks in chassis
format.
It is used as an installation aid, which is placed in front of and secured to the module. The
telescopic guide support allows the withdrawable device to be adjusted according to the
height at which the power blocks are installed. Once the mechanical and electrical

4.6.4.2 Replacing the filter mats

Replacing the filter mats (options M23 and M54)

The filter mats must be checked at regular intervals. If the mats are too dirty to allow the air
supply to flow normally, they must be replaced.

Note
If you do not replace dirty filter mats, this can cause a premature thermal shutdown of the
drive.
Order data is available in the spare parts list.

Preparatory steps
• Disconnect the cabinet from the power supply.
• Allow unimpeded access to the grilles in the doors.

Note
The cabinet must be disconnected from the power supply to prevent the fans from
drawing contaminated external air. If an external power supply for the fans is used, take
the coasting-down period of the fan into account or switch off the power supply.

5.2 General

5.2.3 Overload Capability

Overload capability
SINAMICS Cabinet Modules with the Motor Modules are equipped with an overload reserve
to deal with breakaway torques, for example. Any significant load surges must be taken into
account in the configuration. In drives with overload requirements, the appropriate base load
current must, therefore, be used as a basis for the required load.
The criterion for overload is that the inverter is operated with its base load current before and
after the overload occurs (a load duration of 300 s is used as a basis here).

Low overload
The base load current for a small overload (IL) is based on a duty cycle of 110% for 60 s or
150% for 10 s.

5.3.4 Parallel connection: commissioning

Description
During commissioning, Motor Modules connected in parallel are handled in the same way as
a Motor Module on the motor side. With parallel connection, the parameter display for the
actual values changes only slightly. Instead, suitable "total values" are derived from the
individual values of the Motor Modules.
In STARTER, parallel connection is activated via the Wizard. You can also select parallel
connection when choosing the Motor Modules. You then have to specify the number of
Motor Modules to be connected in parallel.

6.1.1 General

Danger
The operator panel is used in cabinets that are operated in industrial high-voltage
installations. During operation, this cabinet contains rotating and live, bare parts. For this
reason, there is a risk of severe injury or significant material damage if the required covers
are removed, if it is used or operated incorrectly, or if it has not been properly maintained.
You must read the safety and operating instructions.

Description
The AOP30 operator panel is an optional input/output device used for commissioning,
operation, and diagnostic purposes.
The AOP30 communicates with the SINAMICS drive via a serial interface (RS232) with PPI
protocol. The interface is a point-to-point connection. During communication, the AOP30 is
the master and the connected drive is the slave.

Design
The AOP30 is an operator panel with a graphical display and a touch-sensitive keypad. An
RS232 interface is used as the interface to the drive unit. The device can be installed in a
cabinet door (thickness: between 2 mm and 4 mm).

6.1.3 Functions

6.1.3.1 AOP30 functions: fault / alarm memory menu

Faults
The fault screen can be called up in one of three ways:
• In certain situations during ramp-up when a function key is labeled "Fault"
• Automatically from the operation screen in the event of a fault
• Via the menu: Faults/Alarms -> Faults
Up to eight faults that are currently present or have not yet been acknowledged can be
displayed. If a new fault occurs, it is recognized by the AOP and the fault memory is
automatically updated.
To send an acknowledge signal to the drive, choose F5 "Ack.". If all the faults that are
present can be acknowledged, the system exits the fault screen automatically and returns to
the calling screen.
If at least one fault cannot be acknowledged, the system continues to display the fault
screen.
To return to the calling screen at any time, choose F4 "Back".
To call up a short description of the possible causes of a fault (to select a fault, use cursor
keys F2/F3) along with any remedial measures, choose F1 "Help". The fault value, which
allows you to further diagnose the cause, is displayed in the header area of the help screen.
To call up the faults that were acknowledged most recently, choose F3 "Old". To call up the
faults previous to those (max. 8), choose F3 "Older".

6.1 K08: AOP30 operator panel

Alarms
The alarm screen can be called up in one of two ways:
• From the operation screen via F4 "Alarm"
• Via the menu: Faults/Alarms -> Alarms
Since alarms can come and go without being acknowledged, the alarm list provides a static
status display when you call up the screen. Alarms that are active when you call up the
alarm screen are indicated with "Active" in the corresponding row.
To update the alarm buffer, choose Fx: "Current".
To delete the alarm memory and update it so that it includes the alarms that are currently
present, choose Fy.
To call up the alarm value and information about causes/remedial measures, choose F1
"Help" (see 2.5.1).

Note
The sample screenshots in the following sections show the procedure for the "Vector" drive
object (DO). The procedure for the "Servo" DO is similar.

Description
The operation screen displays the most important status variables for the cabinet unit:
In its condition on delivery, it displays the operating status of the drive, the direction of
rotation, the time, as well as four drive variables (parameters) numerically and two in the
form of a bar display for continuous monitoring.
You can call up the operation screen in one of three ways:
• After the power supply has been switched on and the system has ramped up (with the
S120, the following message is displayed "No default selected/available". Confirm with
"Continue" <F5>).
• If you do not make any entries for five minutes, the system calls up the operation screen
automatically.
• By pressing the MENU key twice and then F5 OK

6.1 K08: AOP30 operator panel

• CU General parameters for the electronics module (CU320)

• Vector/
servo Drive control
Parameters with identical functions may exist with the same parameter number in more than
one DO (e.g. p0002 ).
The AOP30 is used for operating devices that comprise more than one drive (in this respect,
a regulated infeed is also a "drive") so that attention is focused on one drive (i.e. the
"current" drive). You can switch between the drives either in the operation screen or in the
main menu. The corresponding function key is labeled "Drive".
This drive determines the following:
• Operation screen
• Fault and alarm displays
• Parameterization
Depending on your requirements, you can choose between two AOP display types:
• All parameters
All the parameters for the current drive (see above), the CU, and all the other device DOs
are displayed in a list. The DO to which the parameter currently selected belongs
(inverted) is displayed in curly brackets in the top left of the screen.
You can also select parameters for just one function group from this complete list.
• DO view
In this display, you can pre-select a DO so that only the parameters for this DO are listed.
This display is indicated by the text "DO" next to the DO designator in curly brackets.
(The expert list in the STARTER commissioning tool is only displayed in the DO view.)
In both cases, the set access level and the selected parameter group govern which
parameters are displayed. You can set the access level in the menu for inhibit functions,
which can be called up using the key button.
The parameters for access levels 1 and 2 are sufficient for simply applications. The default
setting is 1 Standard. (Access level 2 provides additional access to the drive parameters
(e.g. to I/O functions of the inverter and is, therefore, known as "Extended").)
At access level 3 (experts), you can change the structure of the function by interconnecting
BICO parameters. For this reason, this access level is password protected The password for
access level 3 is "47" and can only be used by experts (i.e. experienced users).
The parameter list displays more options than there are function keys. You can use the "<<"
key to change the function of the keys. To return from the second menu, press F5 (">>").
Once a function is complete, the system automatically returns to the main menu.
F1 "Help", F2 "DS Select", and F3 "EEPROM" are available in the extended menu.
In the DS Selection menu (data set selection), you can choose which of the data sets chosen
is currently DISPLAYED.
Data set parameters are indicated by a “c”, “d”, “m”, or “e” between the parameter number
and parameter designator. The second line from the top (aligned right) shows which data
sets are currently displayed.

Resetting AOP settings

This menu option allows you to reset the following settings to the AOP factory settings:
• Language
• Display (brightness, contrast)
• Operation screen
• Control settings

The settings are not effective until the power supply is next switched on.

Notice
When you reset parameters, all settings that are different to the factory settings are reset
immediately. This may cause the cabinet unit to switch to a different, unwanted operational
status.
For this reason, you should always take great care when resetting parameters.

6.1.3.8 AOP30 functions: diagnosis

Software/database version
You can use this menu to display the firmware and database versions.
The database version must be compatible with the drive software status (you can check this
in parameter r0018).

Battery status
In this menu, you can display the battery voltage numerically (in Volts) or as a bar display.
The battery ensures that the data in the database and the current time are retained.
When the battery voltage is represented as a percentage, a battery voltage of ≤ 2 V is equal
to 0%, and a voltage of ≥ 3 V to 100%.
The data is secure up to a battery voltage of 2 V.
• If the battery voltage is ≤ 2.45 V, the message "Replace battery" is displayed in the status
bar.
• If the battery voltage is ≤ 2.30 V, the system displays the following message: "Warning:
weak battery".
• If the battery voltage is ≤ 2 V, the system displays the following message: "Warning:
battery is empty".
• If the time and/or database are not available after the system has been switched off for a
prolonged period due to the voltage being too low, the loss is established by means of a
CRC check when the system is switched on again. (CRC = "Cyclic Redundancy Check" -
an error correction system when digital data is transferred). This triggers a message
instructing the user to replace the battery and then load the database and/or set the time.
For instructions on replacing batteries, see Chapter 3 ("Maintenance and Servicing").

Communication
In this menu, you can call up information on the communications status between the AOP
and the drive.

Key Test
In this screen, you can check that the keys are functioning properly. Keys that you press are
represented on a symbolic keyboard on the display. You can press the keys in any order you
wish. You can exit the screen (F5 – "back") when you have pressed each key at least once.

Note
You can also exit the key test screen by pressing any key and keeping it pressed.

You activate the control keys by switching to LOCAL mode. If the green LED in the
LOCAL/REMOTE key does not light up, the key is not active.

LOCAL/REMOTE key
Activate LOCAL mode: Press the LOCAL key.
LOCAL mode: LED lights up
REMOTE mode: LED does not light up: the ON, OFF, JOG, direction reversal, faster, and slower
keys are not active.

Settings: Menu: Commissioning / Service – AOP Settings – Control Settings

Save LOCAL mode (factory setting:yes)
• Yes: "LOCAL" or "REMOTE" operating mode is saved when the supply voltage is
switched off, and restored when the supply voltage is switched back on.
• No: "LOCAL" or "REMOTE" operating mode is not saved. "REMOTE" is active when the
supply voltage is switched back on.
LOCAL/REMOTE also during operation (factory setting: no)
• Yes: You can switch between LOCAL and REMOTE when the drive is switched on (motor
is running).
• No: Before the system switches to LOCAL, a check is carried out to determine whether
the drive is in the operational status. If so, the system does not switch to LOCAL and
outputs the message "Local not possible". Before the system switches to REMOTE, the
drive is switched off and the setpoint is set to 0.

Settings: Menu: Commissioning / Service – AOP Settings – Control Settings

Switching between CW/CCW (factory setting: no)
• Yes: Switching between CW/CCW rotation by means of the CW/CCW key
possible in LOCAL mode
• No: The CW/CCW key has no effect in LOCAL mode
For safety reasons, the CW/CCW key is disabled in the factory setting (pumps and fans must
normally only be operated in one direction).
In the operation status in LOCAL mode, the current direction of rotation is indicated by an
arrow next to the operating mode.

Note
You have to make additional settings when switching between CW/CCW rotation.

6.1.4.4 Jog (reserved for future use)

In the "ready to start" status, the drive is switched on and approaches the speed set with
parameter p1058.

6.1.4.5 Increase setpoint / decrease setpoint

You can use the “increase” and “decrease” keys to set the setpoint with a resolution of 1 % of the
maximum speed
(e.g. if the resolution is 15 min-1 at p1082 = 1500 min-1).
You can also enter the setpoint numerically by choosing F2 in the operation screen. The system
displays an inverted edit field for entering the required speed. Enter the required value using the
numeric keypad. Press F5 OK to confirm the setpoint.
When you enter values numerically, you can enter any speed between the minimum speed
(p1080) and the maximum speed (p1082).
The setpoint entered in LOCAL mode is a positive value in the valid value range. You can
change the direction of rotation by pressing the key (see "Switching between clockwise and
counter-clockwise rotation").
• CW rotation and "Increase key" mean:
The displayed setpoint is positive and the output frequency is increased.
• CCW rotation and "Increase key" mean:
The displayed setpoint is negative and the output frequency is increased.

6.1.4.6 AOP setpoint

Settings: Menu: Commissioning / Service – AOP Settings – Control Settings

Save AOP setpoint (factory setting: no)
• Yes: In LOCAL mode, the last setpoint (once you have released the INCREASE or
DECREASE key or confirmed a numeric entry) is saved.
The next time you switch the system on in LOCAL mode, the saved value is selected.
This is also the case if you switched to REMOTE in the meantime or the power supply
was switched off.
When the system is switched from REMOTE to LOCAL mode while the drive is switched
on (motor is running), the actual value that was last present is set as the output value for
the motor potentiometer setpoint and saved.
If the system is switched from REMOTE to LOCAL mode while the drive is switched off,
the motorized potentiometer setpoint that was last saved is used.

6.1.4.9 Saving the parameters permanently: general information

Description
If parameters have been changed using the operator panel (confirm with OK in the
Parameter Editor), the new values are initially stored in the volatile memory (RAM) of the
Motor Module. An "S" flashes in the top right of the AOP display until they are saved to a
permanent memory. This indicates that at least 1 parameter has been changed and not yet
stored permanently.
Two methods are available for permanently saving parameters that have been changed:
• The parameter list contains additional function key assignments. You can use the "<<"
key to change the function of the keys. In the extended menu, you can save the data by
choosing F3 "EEPROM".
• When confirming a parameter setting with OK, press the OK key for > 1 s. The system
displays a message asking you whether the setting is to be saved in the EEPROM.
If you press "Yes", the system saves the setting in the EEPROM. If you press "No", the
setting is not saved permanently and the "S" starts flashing.
In both cases, all changes that have not yet been saved permanently are stored in the
EEPROM.

• CD-ROM drive (for installing the drivers for the card reader)

6.4.1.2 General information about data functions

Data functions
Once you have connected and successfully installed the card reader, you can access the
CompactFlash card data in the same way as you would access other storage media on a PC
(e.g. hard disk, memory stick, etc.). The CompactFlash card must first be removed from the
CU320 and plugged into the card reader connected to the PC.
The actual procedure for accessing the CompactFlash card data depends on the operating
system used.

Notice
The data stored on the CompactFlash card must not be changed manually; only the
STARTER program can change the data.
If you ignore this, all the data on the CompactFlash card will be lost (parameters, software
licenses, etc.).

6.4.1.3 Data functions: saving your parameter settings

After commissioning, you are advised to store the CompactFlash card data on an external
storage medium (hard disk, data media).
To do so, use a card reader connected to a PC. Ensure that all the files and directories are
stored in the same form as on the CompactFlash card.
If required, you can restore the device status after the drive has been commissioned by
transferring the stored data to the CompactFlash card.

Note
The CompactFlash card should only be removed and inserted when the CU320 is switched
off.
If you ignore this, all the data on the CompactFlash card will be lost (parameters, software
license, etc.).
If you remove it while the system is switched on, alarm A1100 ("CompactFlash Card
removed") is output.

6.4.1.4 Data functions: Restoring the Saved Configuration

To restore the saved configuration, you have to delete all the files on the CompactFlash card
and transfer the saved copy to the CompactFlash card.

Notice

6.5.1 Important safety measures

Danger
Following disconnection of the DC busbar from the Motor Module per DC switch (-Q7), the
following voltages may still be present in the Cabinet Module:
• Up to 1200 V on the DC busbar
• Between 400 V and 690 V via the auxiliary voltage busbar and 230 V after the transformers for the
fan supply voltage
• Up to 230 V at the locations for installing options
• 24 V via the auxiliary voltage busbar (electronics supply)
• At motor connections X2

It is therefore absolutely necessary to deploy the following safety measures when carrying
out work in the Cabinet Module after the DC switch has be siwthced off:
1. Observe the "five safety rules" for all electrical work (see Section "Electrical
Installation")
2. Engage only qualified personnel for such work
3. Ensure that there are no voltages at the measuring points in the cabinet (see figures 6-
15 to 6-18)
4. Ground and short circuit the motor connections
5. When replacing the powerblock (see instructions for replacing powerblocks in the
Section "Service and Maintenance"), avoid contact with the DC busbar!
6. When replacing components, make sure that no screws or small parts can fall down
into the cabinet
7. Remove the fuse for the fans and the 24 V supply

Caution
All work and procedures must comply with the applicable legislation!

The figures below show the voltage source after disconnecting from the DC busbar and the

Operating principle of the DC switch

Table 6-11 Operating principle of the DC switch

Switch position Meaning Result / Comments

1. Switching contacts are open Neither the pre-charging section
nor the main charging section
are switched in.
2. DC switch is switched to The pre-charging section is
PRE-CHARGING. switched to the DC link busbar
(the main section remains
 
switched off).
Once the cabinet has been
switched on by canceling OFF 1
 (= "pulse enable"), the Motor
Module unlocks the DC switch
and moves it into operating
position.
The DC switch remains in
position "1".
When the DC switch is in
operating position, the
connected auxiliary contacts are
switched.
The required auxiliary power supply is provided via the auxiliary busbar. To ensure that this
functions properly, a digital input must be interconnected during commissioning. Like all the
other required connections, this is pre-wired in the cabinet.
If any signals are required (e.g. for checkback purposes or for activating other devices), two
switching contacts can be used. Two NO contacts are available here. The contacts switch to
the "Pre-charge" position (contacts 63, 64) or "Operation" position (contacts 53, 54). The
maximum switched current carrying capacity of these contacts is 3A.

Notice
The DC switch must only be activated when the door is closed, otherwise the switch
coupling and the door handle could be damaged.

Note
Considerable effort is required to move the DC switch between positions 0 and 1.

Commissioning the DC switch

A checkback contact for the switch must be connected using the software. If option K90 is
installed, digital input 3 is provided for this purpose. If the cabinet has not been fitted with a
Control Unit, terminal X41:12 must be connected to a digital input on an external Control
Unit.

Note
When activating digital inputs, note the guidelines provided in the List Manual and S120
Installation and Start-Up Manual.

The digital input to which the checkback contact is assigned must be interconnected with
parameter "Infeed ready" (P0864) of the drive object.
Interconnection example with option K90:
p0864 = r722.3
The interconnection can be made via the STARTER commissioning tool or the AOP30
operator panel (option K08).

Caution
If parameter p0864 is not interconnected with the checkback signal, this could result in
personal injury and/or material damage.

Notice
To switch from the "Pre-charge" to the "Operation" position within switch position 1, a
switched current of 4 A / 24 V is required for 30 ms. This must be provided via the auxiliary
supply busbar and taken into account during configuration (see the block diagram above).

Further measures for commissioning the DC interface are not required.

6.14.2 Connection across cabinets in a row

Note
The procedure described below uses a DC busbar 1 x 60 x 10 (option M80) as an example
(applies to all other DC busbar options).
For other busbar options, the number of jumpers used on each busbar for connecting the DC
busbars is as follows:
- 1 jumper for each busbar for 1 x nn x 10 busbars (options M80 to 82)
- 1 jumper for each busbar for 2 x nn x 10 busbars (options M83 to 85)
- 2 jumpers for each busbar for 3 x nn x 10 busbars (options M86 and M87)

A connection jumper ("1" in the picture below) on the right-hand side of the DC busbar
distributes the DC busbar across several cabinets. This connection jumper is already
integrated in every DC busbar in the cabinets.

Preparatory steps
• Install and secure the cabinets properly.
• Disconnect the cabinets to be connected from the power supply.
• Make sure that all the necessary safety measures have been taken at the installation
location
(-> see "Five safety rules" in "Electrical installation").
• Allow unimpeded access to the DC busbars (if necessary, remove the protective covers).

Establishing the connection

1. Unscrew the 2 x M12 nuts on the upper DC busbar (DC P) on the right-hand side of the
first cabinet.
2. Unscrew the 2 x M12 nuts on the DC busbar on the left-hand side of the second cabinet.
3. Remove the jumper (1) from the DC busbar in the first cabinet and insert it into the DC
busbar on the second cabinet so that it clicks into place.
4. Screw the nuts on the DC busbars on both cabinets back on (torque: 50 Nm).
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the lower DC busbar (DC N).

Warning
The above procedure explains how the DC P DC busbar is connected.
This procedure must also be carried out for the DC N DC busbar.

Caution
The bolts must only be loosened rather than removed because otherwise the nuts could
fall into the device.
To prevent damage, observe the torque (50 Nm).
For busbar systems 3 x 80 x 10 (option M86) and 3 x 100 x 10 (option M87), 2 jumpers
must be used for each DC link busbar.
A side end panel must be installed on the right (option M26) and on the left (option M27)
of each cabinet row.

Note
In the case of transportation units with standard DC busbars within the cabinet group, you
only need to connect the ends of the busbars for the transportation units.
Before installing side end panels on the left and right of a row of cabinets, you must
remove the jumpers in the DC busbars in the final cabinet on the right.
