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.

configuration due to space limitations; therefore, they are housed in transition cabinets. These 

reactors limit the rate of rise of current during transfers if the line voltage and drive output 

voltage amplitude, frequency, and phase angle do not exactly match. Table "9-Cell Output

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-of￾products 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.

Glossary

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 6SR41 manufactured in NMA Nuernberg, Germany

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, non￾linear 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.

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 post￾fault 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.

Host Simulator

I/O

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 "+".

Parameter

A parameter is one of four items found in the menu system. Parameters are system attributes 

that have corresponding values that can be monitored or, in some cases, changed by the user.

PED 

PED is an acronym for pressure equipment directive, a directive of the EU relating to pressure 

vessels.

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.
