SINAMICS Drive Software

Today, the main functionality of our SINAMICS drives is implemented in

software.
This "embedded" software is also known as firmware, and is functionally
firmly assigned to a specific hardware (hence the name firmware).
In the case of SINAMICS drives, the firmware is subdivided into the
operating system (OS) with drivers for the hardware, and the converter
functions, which are also referred to as the runtime (RT) functions.
Obtain an overview of the wide range of functionality of the SINAMICS
family

Firmware functions

Functions for machinery construction

High precision speed controller
• Precontrol for setpoint changes without overshoot
• Droop for torque equalization between several mechanically coupled drives
• Controller parameters Kp and TN adaptable, depending on the speed or any arbitrary variable
• Torque limiting
• Changeover to closed-loop torque control
Technology controller with PID response
• Main setpoint for controlling temperature, pressure, flow rate, level, etc. in processes
• Supplementary setpoint for higher-level tension/dancer roll control
Motor holding brake
• An additional digital output is controlled on the PM240 and PM250 Power Module to control a
brake relay or a safe brake relay
Free function blocks
• Freely programmable function blocks for logic, arithmetic and numerical operations

Page 33 Restricted | © Siemens 2024

SINAMICS G120
Free function blocs

Functional scope of the FFBs

• 23 freely interconnectable block types according to the adjacent
overview table
• Interconnection using BICO technology
• Logic, arithmetic, data storage, closed-loop control blocks

As a consequence:
• Open-loop control functionality and technology with limited
flexibility directly in the drive
• Additional functionality can be simply realized using pre-configured,
but limited blocks

Example for showing the FFBs in the

documentation

Encoder for position sensing*

Relative position sensing using a rotary encoder
• A normal incremental encoder can also be used for position sensing if the position control is synchronized using the
zero pulse or using external reference marks
• However, a reference point approach (homing) is required when switching-on the drive

Single-turn absolute encoder

• Optical encoder with binary coded signals, e.g. Gray code
• Resolution per revolution up to 22 bits

Line-side components

Line reactor
Line reactors are used to smooth voltage peaks or to ride through commutation dips. Line
reactors reduce the effect of harmonics on the inverter and the line supply. Advantages of
line reactors:

• Reduce possible dissymmetry of the current phases

• Constant harmonic behavior over the lifetime
• Lifetime of the DC link capacitors is increased
• The PM240-2 FSD-FSG have an integrated DC choke a line reactor is not needed.

Note
It is not permissible to use line reactors in conjunction with PM230/PM250 Power Modules.

Page 49 Restricted | © Siemens 2024

Line-side components

EMC filter
EMC filter limit the high frequent conducted emissions of drive systems in the frequency
range of 150 kHz to 30 MHz and thus provide a contribution to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).

• Power modules PM240-2 to 132kW are available with or without integrated filter class A 1
• Power Module PM240-2 160kW to 250kW are available with integrated filter to reach
either EMC class C2 or EMC class C3. The use in TT networks without earthed neutral is
only allowed by demounting the earthed screw.²
• For power modules PM240-2 400V FSA-FSC external filter class B are available
• Power modules PM250 from 18,5 to 90kW are available with or without integrated filter
class A
• For the power modules PM250 FSC separate external filter class A are available

DC link components

Braking resistors
The braking resistors are designed for use with PM240-2/PM240 Power Modules, which are
equipped with an integrated braking chopper, and cannot regenerate energy into the line
supply. The excess DC link energy is dissipated using the braking resistor.

• The braking resistors for PM240-2 1/3AC 200V, 3AC 400V/690V can be laterally
mounted. Braking resistors for frame sizes FSC up to FSG should be mounted outside
the control cabinet
• Every braking resistor is equipped with a temperature switch, which can be evaluated in
order to avoid subsequent damage in the case of a thermal overload

Page 52 Restricted | © Siemens 2024

Output components

Output reactors
Output reactors reduce the voltage stress on the motor windings. At the same time,
capacitive recharging currents are also reduced, which additionally load the power unit
when long motor cables are being used.

• Output reactors for PM240-2 200/400V FSA-FSG as well as PM240-2 690V FSF/FSG
are available for lateral mounting.
• Output reactors PM250 are available as foot print (base) component.
• The maximum permissible output frequency is 150 Hz when using an output reactor.
• The maximum pulse frequency is 4 kHz.
• For the PM240-2 FSD-FSG two output chokes can be mounted in line to achieve longer
cable lengths.

Page 53 Restricted | © Siemens 2024

Output components

Sine-wave filter
A sine-wave filter limits the voltage gradient and the capacitive re-charging currents that
generally occur at the motor terminals for inverter operation.
The sine-wave filter at the inverter output supplies almost sinusoidal voltage at the motor. As
a consequence, standard motors without special cable can be used.

• Operation permissible at pulse frequencies of 4 kHz up to 8 kHz (sine-wave filter from

160 kW and higher, only for 4 kHz)
• A power reduction (derating) of 5 % must be taken into consideration when selecting a
suitable inverter
• The output frequency is limited to 150 Hz
• Sine-wave filters are available with the following Power Modules
• PM250
• Sine-wave filters for PM240-2 can also be ordered via the Siemens Product Partner for

SINAMICS Web server

The web server offers a simple way of commissioning,

diagnosing, operating and monitoring as well as
supporting service and maintenance work.
The ability to quickly access the web server without special
software supports you effectively throughout the entire product
life cycle of the drive.

The use of the integrated* web server opens up new

possibilities for accessing the drive. Either traditionally
directly via LAN cable, or via a separate WLAN access point
(e.g. a SINAMICS Smart Adapter) wirelessly from PCs, tablets
or smartphones.

More
information
*) Integrated web server is part of the next generation converters such as SINAMICS S200, S210 and G220,
and its functionality may differ from the web server accessible via Smart Access Modules offered for
the rest of the frequency converters from SINAMICS family.

What is Motion Control?

What is Motion Control?

Motion control is the controlled or coordinated movement of a drive axis in an application.

According to their complexity, these movements can be divided into the different movement types moving,
positioning, processing, handling and machining.

SITRAIN – Training for Industry

Drives knowledge for practical use

Three good reasons for training with Siemens

1. Innovation
During production, SITRAIN creates the appropriate training courses and sets
standards for the future parallel to the development process.

2. Practical relevance
Courses are characterized by a large number of hands-on exercises – usually
for half of the course time.
This enables the knowledge gained to be immediately applied to everyday
work.

3. Holisticity
We support your requirement for training personnel – from the planner to the
service technician – throughout the entire lifecycle of your plant.
