B.5 Output Filters Data
B.5.1 9 Cell Output Filter, Capacitance
9-Cell Output Filter
When the VFD requires an Output Filter, the drive output is equipped with an output inductor
and capacitor filter. These components cannot be packaged into the core configuration due to
space limitations; therefore, they are housed in transition cabinets. Tables "9-Cell OutputFilter,
Capacitance" and " 9-Cell Output Filter, Inductance" list the required inductance and
capacitance for the VFD output L-C filters.
The reactors are typically custom engineered, and may include an overload rating that matches
the cell type and two sets of thermal protectors embedded into the windings.
The capacitors are heavy duty IEEE Standard 18 rated. Most commonly, available off-the-shelf
capacitors are rated for 60 Hz.
The filter connects to the output of the motor drive’s T1, T2, and T3 connections. The long
cable load is then connected to the load side of the filter reactors. The filter may include a
customer-supplied down hole monitoring system (DHMS). Special attention is required and
small resistors may need to be placed in series with the DHMS to prevent fuse failures during
motor starting. The filter components are sized, based upon the continuous current rating of
the power cells and maximum voltage available (without O-M) of the drive.

Glossary
AND
AND is a logical Boolean function whose output is true if all of the inputs are true in SOP
notation, AND is represented as "∗" (e.g., C=A∗B), although sometimes it may be omitted
between operands with the AND operation being implied (e.g., C=AB).
ASCII
ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a set of 8-bit
computer codes used for the representation of text.
Baud rate
Baud rate is a measure of the switching speed of a line, representing the number of changes
of state of the line per second. The baud rate of the serial port is selected through the Baud
Rate parameter in the Communications Menu [9].
Bit
Bit is an acronym for BInary digiT. Typically, bits are used to indicate either a true (1) or false
(0) state within the drive’s programming.
Boolean algebra
A form of mathematical rules developed by the mathematician George Boole used in the design
of digital and logic systems.
Carrier frequency
Carrier frequency is the set switching frequency of the power devices (IGBTs) in the power
section of each cell. The carrier frequency is measured in cycles per second (Hz).
Catch a spinning load
"Catch a spinning load" is a feature that can be used with high-inertia loads (e.g., fans), in
which the drive may attempt to turn on while the motor is already turning. This feature can be
enabled via the control menu system.
CLVC
An acronym for Closed Loop Vector Control, one of the control modes in the drive. This is flux
vector control for an induction machine (IM), utilizing an encoder for speed feedback.
SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 6SR41 manufactured in NMA Nuernberg, Germany
Operating Instructions Rev.201706301306 203
CMP
Refer to the glossary term SOP.
Comparator
A comparator is a device that compares 2 quantities and determines their equality. The
comparator submenus allow the programmer to specify two variables to be compared. The
results of the custom comparison operations can be used in the system program.
Configuration Update
see Tool Suite definition.
Converter
The converter is the component of the drive that changes AC voltage to DC voltage.
Critical speed avoidance
Critical speed avoidance is a feature that allows the operator to program up to 3 mechanical
system frequencies that the drive will "skip over" during its operation.
CSMC
An acronym for Closed Loop Synchronous Machine (SM) Control, one of the control modes
of the drive. This is a flux vector control for a synchronous machine, utilizing an encoder for
speed feedback and providing a field excitation command for use by an external field exciter.
DC link
The DC link is a large capacitor bank between the converter and inverter section of the drive.
The DC link, along with the converter, establishes the voltage source for the inverter.
De Morgan’s Theorem
The duality principal of Boolean algebra used to convert system logic equations into sum-ofproducts notation.
Debug Tool

Downloading
Downloading is a process by which information is transmitted from a remote device (such as
a PC) to the drive. The term "downloading" implies the transmission of an entire file of
information (e.g., the system program) rather than continued interactive communications
between the two devices. The use of a PC for downloading requires special serial
communications software to be available on the PC, which may link to the drive via RS232 or
through the Host Simulator via an ethernet connection.
DRCTRY
Directory file for system tokens and flags used in the compilation of system programs. It
provides a direct lookup table of ASCII names to internal ID numbers. It also identifies whether
the flag is a word or bit-field, and also whether it can be used as an input or output only, or can
be used for both.
Drive
The term "drive" refers to the power conversion equipment that converts utility power into power
for a motor in a controlled manner.
ELV
ELV is an acronym for extra low voltage, and represents any voltage not exceeding a limit that
is generally accepted to be 50 VAC and 120 VDC (ripple free).
EMC
EMC is an acronym for electromagnetic compatibility–the ability of equipment to function
satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable
electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment.
ESD
ESD is an acronym for ElectroStatic Discharge. ESD is an undesirable electrical side effect
that occurs when static charges build up on a surface and are discharged to another. When
printed circuit boards are involved, impaired operation and component damage are possible
side effects due to the static-sensitive nature of the PC board components. These side effects
may manifest themselves as intermittent problems or total component failures. It is important
to recognize that these effects are cumulative and may not be obvious.
Fault log
Fault messages are saved to memory so that the operator may view them at a later time. This
memory location is called the fault log. The fault log lists both fault and alarm messages, the
date and time that they occurred, and the time and date that they are reset.

Operating Instructions Rev.201706301306 205
Faults
Faults are error conditions that have occurred in the system. The severity of faults vary.
Likewise, the treatment or corrective action for a fault may vary from changing a parameter
value to replacing a hardware component such as a fuse.
Flash Card
Non-volatile memory storage device for the control. It stores the drive program, system
program, logs, parameters, and other related drive files.
FPGA
Field Programmable Gate Array. An FPGA is an integrated circuit that contains thousands of
logic gates.
Function
A function is one of four components found in the menu system. Functions are built-in programs
that perform specific tasks. Examples of functions include System Program Upload/Download
and Display System Program Name.
Harmonics
Harmonics are undesirable AC currents or voltages at integer multiples of the fundamental
frequency. The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency in the wave form (generally the
repetition frequency). Harmonics are present in any non-sinusoidal wave form and cannot
transfer power on average.
Harmonics arise from non-linear loads in which current is not strictly proportional to voltage.
Linear loads like resistors, capacitors, and inductors do not produce harmonics. However, nonlinear devices such as diodes and silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) do generate harmonic
currents. Harmonics are also found in uninterruptable power supplies (UPSs), rectifiers,
transformers, ballasts, welders, arc furnaces, and personal computers.
Hexadecimal digits
Hexadecimal (or "hex") digits are the "numerals" used to represent numbers in the base 16
(hex) number system. Unlike the more familiar decimal system, which uses the numerals 0
through 9 to make numbers in powers of 10, the base 16 number system uses the numerals
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F to make numbers in powers of 16.

Historic log
The historic log is a troubleshooting/diagnostic tool of the control. The historic log continuously
logs drive status, including the drive state, internal fault words, and multiple user-selectable
variables. This information is sampled every slow loop cycle of the control (typically 450 to 900
times per second). If a fault occurs, the log is frozen a predefined number of samples after the
fault event, and data samples prior to and after the fault condition are recorded to allow postfault analysis. The number of samples recorded are user-selectable via the control, as well as
the option to record the historic log within the VFD event log.

I/O is an acronym for input/output. I/O refers to any and all inputs and outputs connected to a
computer system. Both inputs and outputs can be classified as analog (e.g., input power, drive
output, meter outputs, etc.) or digital (e.g., contact closures or switch inputs, relay outputs,
etc.).
IGBT
IGBT is an acronym for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors. IGBTs are semiconductors that
are used in the drive to provide reliable, high-speed switching, high-power capabilities,
improved control accuracy, and reduced motor noise.
Induction motor
An induction motor is an AC motor that produces torque by the reaction between a varying
magnetic field (generated in the stator) and the current induced in the coils of the rotor.
Intel hex
Intel hex refers to a file format in which records consist of ASCII format hexadecimal (base 16)
numbers with load address information and error checking embedded.
Inverter
The inverter is a portion of the drive that changes DC voltage into AC voltage. The term
"inverter" is sometimes used mistakenly to refer to the entire drive (the converter, DC link, and
inverter sections).
Jog mode
Jog mode is an operational mode that uses a pre-programmed jog speed when a digital input
(programmed as the jog mode input) is closed.

Jumpers
Jumper blocks are groups of pins that can control functions of the system, based on the state
of the jumpers. Jumpers (small, removable connectors) are either installed (on) or not installed
(off) to provide a hardware switch.
Ladder logic (Also Ladder Diagram)
A graphical representation of logic in which two vertical lines, representing power, flow from
the source on the left and the sink on the right, with logic branches running between, resembling
rungs of a ladder. Each branch consists of various labeled contacts placed in series and
connected to a single relay coil (or function block) on the right.
Loss of signal feature
The loss of signal feature is a control scheme that gives the operator the ability to select one
of three possible actions in the event that the signal from an external sensor, configured to
specify the speed demand, is lost. Under this condition, the operator may program the drive
(through the system program) to (1) revert to a fixed, pre-programmed speed, (2) maintain the
current speed, or (3) perform a controlled (ramped) stop of the drive. By default, current speed
is maintained.
LVD
LVD is an acronym for Low Voltage Directive, a safety directive in the EU.
Lvl RH
This term refers the two security fields associated with each parameter of the system. These
fields allow the operator to individually customize specific security features for each menu
option (submenu, parameter, pick list, and function). These fields are shown in parameter
dumps and have the following meanings. Lvl is the term for the security level. Setting R=1
blocks parameter change, and setting H=1 hides the menu option from view until the
appropriate access level has been activated.
Memory
Memory is the working storage area for the drive that is a collection of RAM chips.
Microprocessor
A microprocessor is a central processing unit (CPU) that exists on a single silicon chip. The
microprocessor board is the printed circuit board on which the microprocessor is mounted.
The drive employs a single-board computer with a Pentium® microprocessor.

NEMA 1 and NEMA 12
NEMA 1 is an enclosure rating in which no openings allow penetration of a 0.25-inch diameter
rod. NEMA 1 enclosures are intended for indoor use only. NEMA 12 is a more stringent NEMA
rating in which the cabinet is said to be "dust tight" (although it is still not advisable to use
NEMA 12 in conductive dust atmospheres). The approximate equivalent IEC rating is IP52.
Normally closed (NC)
Normally closed refers to the contact of a relay that is closed when the coil is de-energized.
Normally open (NO)
Normally open refers to the contact of a relay that is open when the coil is de-energized.
OLTM
An acronym for Open Loop Test Mode, one of the control modes of the drive.
OLVC
An acronym for Open Loop Vector Control, also known as Encoderless Vector Control. OLVC
is a flux vector control that is one of the control modes of the drive. The drive computes the
rotational speed of the rotor and uses it for speed feedback.
OOS
OOS is an abbreviation for out of saturation - a type of fault condition in which a voltage drop
is detected across one of the IGBTs during conduction. This can indicate that the motor is
drawing current too rapidly or in excess.
OR
OR is a logical Boolean function whose output is true if any of the inputs is true. In SOP notation,
OR is represented as "+".

Pick list
A pick list is one of four items found in the menu system. Pick lists are parameters that have
a finite list of pre-defined "values" from which to choose, rather than a value range used by
parameters.
PID
PID is an acronym for proportional + integral + derivative, a control scheme used to control
modulating equipment in such a way that the control output is based on (1) a proportional
amount of the error between the desired setpoint and the actual feedback value, (2) the
summation of this error over time, and (3) the change in error over time. Output contributions
from each of these three components are combined to create a single output response. The
amount of contribution from each component is programmable through gain parameters. By
optimizing these gain parameters, the operator can "tune" the PID control loop for maximum
efficiency, minimal overshoot, quick response time, and minimal cycling.
Qualified user
A qualified user is a properly trained individual who is familiar with the construction and
operation of the equipment and the hazards involved.
RAM
RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory, a temporary storage area for drive
information. The information in RAM is lost when power is no longer supplied to it. Therefore,
it is referred to as volatile memory.
Regeneration
Regeneration is the characteristic of an AC motor to act as a generator when the rotor’s
mechanical frequency is greater than the applied electrical frequency.
Relay
A relay is an electrically controlled device that causes electrical contacts to change their status.
Open contacts will close and closed contacts will open when rated voltage is applied to the
coil of a relay.
RS232C
RS232C is a serial communications standard of the Electronics Industries Association (EIA).
Set point
Set point is the desired or optimal speed of the VFD to maintain process levels (speed
command).

Slip
Slip is the difference between the stator electrical frequency of the motor and the rotor
mechanical frequency of the motor, normalized to the stator frequency as shown in the
following equation:
Slip = (ωS - ωR) / ωS
Slip compensation
Slip compensation is a method of increasing the speed reference to the speed regulator circuit
(based on the motor torque) to maintain motor speed as the load on the motor changes. The
slip compensation circuit increases the frequency at which the inverter section is controlled to
compensate for decreased speed due to load droop. For example, a motor with a full load
speed of 1760 rpm has a slip of 40 rpm. The no load rpm would be 1800 rpm. If the motor
nameplate current is 100 A, the drive is sending a 60 Hz wave form to the motor (fully loaded);
then the slip compensation circuit would cause the inverter to run 1.33 Hz faster to allow the
motor to operate at 1800 rpm, which is the synchronous speed of the motor.
SMC
Is an acronym for Synchronous Motor Control, one of the control modes of the drive. This mode
computes the rotational speed similarly to open-loop vector control, and controls the field
reference or the synchronous motor as in closed-loop synchronous motor control.
SOP
(1) SOP is an acronym for Sum Of Products. The term "sum-of-products" comes from the
application of Boolean algebraic rules to produce a set of terms or conditions that are grouped
in a fashion that represents parallel paths (ORing) of required conditions that all must be met
(ANDing). This would be equivalent to branches of connected contacts on a relay logic ladder
that connect to a common relay coil. In fact, the notation can be used as a shortcut to describe
the ladder logic.
(2) SOP, when used as a filename extension, refers to System Operating Program.
SOP Utilities
The program within the Siemens Tool suite used for converting between text and machine
loadable code. It can also be used for uploading and downloading files over the RS232
connection.
See Tool Suite definition.
Speed Menu function
Speed menu is a feature of the menu system that allows the operator to directly access any
of the menus or parameters, rather than scrolling through menus to the appropriate item. This
feature uses the [Shift] button in conjunction with the right arrow. The user is prompted to enter
the four digit ID number associated with the desired menu or parameter.

Stop mode
Stop mode is used to shut down the drive in a controlled manner, regardless of its current
state.
Submenus
A submenu is one of four components found in the menu system. Submenus are nested menus
(i.e., menus within other menus). Submenus are used to logically group menu items based on
similar functionality or use.
Synchronous speed
Synchronous speed refers to the speed of an AC induction motor’s rotating magnetic field. It
is determined by the frequency applied to the stator and the number of magnetic poles present
in each phase of the stator windings. Synchronous Speed equals 120 times the applied
Frequency (in Hz) divided by the number of poles per phase.
System Operating Program
The functions of the programmable inputs and outputs are determined by the default system
program. These functions can be changed by modifying the appropriate setup menus from the
front keypad and display. I/O assignments can also be changed by editing the system program
(an ASCII text file with the extension .SOP), compiling it using the compiler program, and then
downloading it to the controller through its serial port, all by utilizing the SOP Utility Program
with the Siemens ToolSuite.
Tool Suite
Is the suite of programs developed by Siemens that allows easier access to the drive for
programming and monitoring. It is comprised of the following components:
● Tool Suite Launcher - also referred to as Tool Suite; used for coordinating other tools.
● SOP Utilities - used to launch an editor that compiles or reverse compiles a System
Program. It also allows for serial connection to the drive for uploading and downloading
System Programs.
● Configuration Update - allows for backing-up, updating, and cloning drives via direct access
to the Flash Disk.
● Host Simulator - used for monitoring, programming, and controlling a drive remotely from
a PC over the built-in ethernet port of the drive. Parameter changes, status display, and
graphing of internal variables are its main functions.
● Debug Tool - this tool is used to display the diagnostic screens of the drive for diagnosing
drive problems or improving performance via the built-in ethernet port of the drive.

Torque
The force that produces (or attempts to produce) rotation, as in the case of a motor.
Uploading
Uploading is a process by which information is transmitted from the drive to a remote device
such as a PC. The term uploading implies the transmission of an entire file of information (e.g.,
the system program) rather than continued interactive communications between the two
devices. The use of a PC for uploading requires communications software to be available on
the PC.
Variable frequency drive (VFD)
A VFD is a device that takes a fixed voltage and fixed frequency AC input source and converts
it to a variable voltage, variable frequency output that can control the speed of a motor.
VHZ
Is an acronym for Volts per Hertz control, one of the control modes in the drive. This mode is
intended for multiple motors connected in parallel. Therefore, it disables spinning load and fast
bypass. This is essentially open-loop vector control with de-tuned (smaller bandwidth obtained
by reducing the gain) current regulators.
