In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary
to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept.
Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines
and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to an
enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only
when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.

SINAMICS G120X: Basic Setup Add-in

Entry-ID: 109792547, V1.2, 04/2021 3
 1 Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
In this application example it is shown how to use a TIA Portal add-in for
commissioning of two SINAMICS G120X demo-cases at once. This is achieved
with PLC having also the function of local storage center (i.e. commissioning data
are stored in a PLC for future use like for example in case of inverter replacement).
Add-in: SINAMICS G120X Basic Setup – simplified version for quick and easy
basic drive commissioning (no inverter parameters knowledge required)
Our example is worked out on using two SINAMICS G120X demo-cases and one
SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC.
The workflow with add-in in TIA Portal comprises following steps:
• Preparation of commissioning data offline and its backup (optional) on
PC/PG in .xml format.
• Assignment of commissioning data to a single or more identical inverters
and storing the data in the PLC (as a local backup).
• Execution of commissioning of one or more inverters (mass
commissioning) from PLC on demand using acyclic communication.

After creating a project in TIA Portal make following configuration:

• Add the PLC as a new device
• Add G120X PN V1.0 drives from HW catalog (installation of SINAMICS
GSD library required) and rename them to G120X_Demo1 and 2.
• Create the PN network and set IP addresses

3.2 Description of SINAMICS G120X Basic Setup add-in

This add-in can be launched by right-mouse click on a project root, any group of
devices or only a single device in the project. The project must contain at least one
G120X inverter. Note once the app is running the main TIA Portal window is
inhibited.
The entry window that appears after app launch lets you select whether you want
to work with a new- or already saved drive configuration. You are also supposed to
select which drive(s) you want the configuration to apply.

3.2.1 Entry window

© Siemens AG 2021 All rights reserved

Figure 5 – SINAMICS G120X Basic Setup: Entry window

1. Saved configurations – in this pane you have displayed all previously saved
or imported configurations that you can use for drive(s) commissioning either
unchanged or you can modify them in the next steps.
2. Import from file – if you migrate configuration file from another PG/PC you
can use „Import from file” button to import .xml file. Saved configurations are
stored under the path:

3. Select device(s) – in this pane you can select (tick) the inverters you want the
new or selected configuration to apply.
4. Next with selected configuration – moves you to the next window (Motor
Setup) with pre-filled setting according to selected Saved configuration. This
button is inhibited if no Saved configuration nor device is selected.
5. Next with new configuration – moves you to the next window (Motor Setup)
with zeroed setting. This button is inhibited if no device is selected.

2. Converter supply voltage – enter nominal value of power supply grid here
3. Start with Parameter reset – this box is preselected if you start with a new
configuration. If ticked the parametrization starts with drive parameters reset so
all previous drive setting is cleared and set to factory default.
4. Select Motor Control Mode – if you commission asynchronous motors as a
rule select SDC for drives up to 15kW and DDC above this power rating. For
commissioning other types of motors (synchronous, reluctance) select always
DDC.
5. Select Motor Standard – depending on motor nameplate units select either
IEC or NEMA (SI units) if the rated power is expressed in „kW” or NEMA (US
units) if it’s in „HP”.
6. Select Motor Type – select type of motor. If using SIMOTICS motor then
preferably select the correct design type, f.e. 1LE1 induction motor (not a code
number). If you know the SIMOTICS motor code then better select the option
with code required, f.e. 1LE1 induction motor (code required).
7. Motor data – enter motor nameplate data in all displayed and enabled fields.
Select also right connection type Y or . If you selected  then you are allowed
to choose also 87Hz operation if suitable. Perform motor stationary ID test
option is by default ticked and it is strongly recommended to keep this setting
on.

Then repeat the same for the other

drive.

You should have both .done

variables now set to 1 (TRUE)
which indicates both drives are
parametrized.

Before you save the project in TIA

Portal, manually reset all .execute
variables to 0 (FALSE).

Congratulations, you are done!

Both drives are now parametrized.
On the next RUN command each
drive will perform Stationary ID
test. Then it will be ready for
operation.
