Description

Closed-loop control The machine-side closed-loop control has been expanded as a field-oriented transvector closed-loop control 

which can be operated as a speed or torque control as required. The transvector closed-loop control 

achieves the dynamics of a DC drive. This is made possible by the fact that the current components forming 

the torque and flux can be controlled precisely independently of each other. Prescribed torques can thus be 

observed and limited accurately. In the speed range from 1:10, the field-oriented closed-loop control does not 

require an actual speed value encoder.

An actual speed value encoder is required in the following scenarios:

• High dynamics requirements

• Torque control/constant torque drives with setting range > 1:10

• Very low speeds

• Very high speed accuracy

Setpoint input The setpoint can be defined internally or externally; internally as a fixed, motorized potentiometer or jog set￾point, externally via the PROFIBUS interface or an analog input of the customer terminal block. The internal 

fixed setpoints and the motorized potentiometer setpoint can be switched over or altered using control com￾mands from all interfaces.

Ramp-function generator A user-friendly ramp-function generator with separately adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down times, together 

with variable smoothing times in the lower and upper speed ranges, improves the control response and there￾fore prevents mechanical overloading of the drive train. The ramp-down ramps can be parameterized sepa￾rately for emergency stop.

Vdc max controller The Vdc max controller automatically prevents overvoltages in the DC link if the set ramp-down ramp is too 

short, for example. This can also extend the set ramp-down time.

Kinetic buffering (KIP) Power supply failures are bridged to the extent permitted by the kinetic energy of the drive train. The speed 

drops depending on the moment of inertia and the load torque. The current speed setpoint is resumed when 

the power supply returns.

Automatic restart (option) The automatic restart switches the drive on again when the power is restored after a power failure or a general 

fault, and ramps up to the current speed setpoint.

Flying restart The flying restart function permits smooth connection of the converter to a rotating motor.

Diagnostics functions • Self-diagnosis of control hardware

• Non-volatile memory for reliable diagnosis when the power supply fails

• Monitoring of HV IGBTs with individual messages for each slot

• User-friendly on-site operator panel with plain text messages

Operating hours and switching cycle 

counter

The operating hours of the fans are recorded and logged so that preventive maintenance or replacements 

can be performed. The switching cycles of the circuit-breaker are recorded and added together, to form the 

basis of preventive maintenance work.

Detecting the actual motor speed 

(option)

The SMC30 encoder module can be used to record the actual motor speed. The signals from the rotary pulse 

encoder are converted here and made available for evaluation via the DRIVE-CLiQ interface of the controller.

Operator protection The cabinet doors of the power sections are fitted with an electromagnetic lock. This prevents the cabinet 

doors being opened while hazardous voltages are connected inside the cabinet.

Software and protection functions

AOP30 operator panel

The AOP30 operator panel is fitted into the cabinet door of the 

SINAMICS GM150 to enable operation, monitoring and commis￾sioning.

It has the following features and characteristics:

• Graphical LCD display with backlighting for plain-text display 

and a bar display of process variables

• LEDs for displaying the operational status

• Help function describing causes of and remedies for faults 

and alarms

• Membrane keyboard with keypad for operational control of 

a drive

• Local/remote switchover for selecting the input point (priority 

assigned to operator panel or customer’s terminal block / 

PROFIBUS)

• Numeric keypad for input of setpoint or parameter values

• Function keys for prompted navigation in the menu

• Two-stage safety strategy to protect against accidental or un￾authorized changes to settings. The keyboard lock disables 

operation of the drive from the operator panel, so that only 

parameter values and process variables can be displayed. 

A password can be used to prevent the unauthorized modifi￾cation of converter parameters.

The operator panel languages - English, German, Spanish and 

Chinese - are stored on the CompactFlash Card of the Control 

Unit.

Description

EMERGENCY-STOP button The converters are equipped as standard with an EMERGENCY-STOP button with protective collar which is 

fitted in the cabinet door. The contacts of the pushbutton are connected in parallel to the terminal block so 

they can can be integrated in a protection concept on the installation side. EMERGENCY STOP category 0 is 

set as standard for an uncontrolled shutdown (DIN EN 60204-1/VDE 0113-1 (IEC 60204-1)). The function 

includes voltage disconnection of the converter output through the circuit-breaker. The motor coasts in the 

process.

EMERGENCY STOP category 1 is optionally available for a controlled shutdown.

Insulation monitoring The converters feature insulation monitoring of the whole galvanic network from the secondary side of the 

transformer to the stator windings of the motor.

Monitoring of the peripherals An extensive package of options for monitoring the peripherals (from the transformer and the motor through to 

the auxiliaries) is available. 

In addition it is possible to monitor the temperature by means of thermocouples or PT100 resistors.

Thermal overload protection A warning message is issued first when the overtemperature threshold responds. If the temperature rises fur￾ther, either a shutdown is carried out or automatic influencing of the output current so that a reduction in the 

thermal load is achieved. Following elimination of the cause of the fault (e.g. improvement in the ventilation), 

the original operating values are automatically resumed.

If air-cooled converters and filter mats are used, for example, the contamination of the filter mats is monitored 

and reported by means of measurements of differential pressures. In the case of water-cooled converters, the 

water temperature and flow rate are recorded at several points in the cooling circuit and evaluated. An exten￾sive self-diagnosis protects the converter and reports faults.

Grounding switch (option) If grounding on the infeed or motor side is required for safety and protection reasons, a motorized grounding 

switch can be ordered.

For safety reasons, the converter controller locks these grounding switches against activation while voltage is 

still present. The control is integrated into the protection and monitoring chain of the converter. The grounding 

switches are inserted automatically when the standard grounding switches of the DC link are inserted.

Capacitor trip device For applications in which the exiting circuit-breaker has no low-voltage coil and cannot be retrofitted there are 

capacitor trip devices for 110 to 120 V DC and for 230 V DC.

They ensure that the circuit-breaker on the installation side can still be safely disconnected even if there is a 

power failure or the normal OFF command is not effective, e.g. because of a wire break.

If the converters are operated at installation altitudes > 1000 m 

above sea level or under ambient or coolant temperatures 

> 40 °C with air cooling or > 35 °C with water cooling, derating 

factors kH and kT must be taken into account for the rated cur￾rent (DIN 43671).

2 ■Technical data (continued)

The technical data from the following examples can be found on page 2/23 onwards.

Example 1

Converter 6SL3810-2LP33-0AA0 (air-cooled version)

Output voltage: 4.16 kV

Input voltage: 2 x 2.2 kV

Type rating: 2200 kVA, 300 A

Installation altitude: 3000 m

Max. ambient temperature: 30 °C

- Derating factor kH = 0.84

- Derating factor kT = 1.0

- Derating factor kU = 0.9

I  In  0.84  1.0 = In  0.84

This means that a voltage derating of 10% is required in addition 

to a current correction of 16%.

The maximum available output current of the converter is 252 A.

The converter can still be operated at a line voltage of 

2 x 3 1.98 kV AC.

The following applies for the water-cooled version:

When determining the current derating factor, it is essential to 

consider the ambient temperature of the air as well as the tem￾perature of the untreated water in the inlet, as components such 

as the link busbars are also subject to air cooling. This requires 

the factors kT and kH to be determined from the diagrams for air 

cooling as well as for water cooling. The smaller of the two prod￾ucts (kT  kH) must be used as the current derating factor (see 

the following examples 2 and 3).

Example 2

Converter 6SL3815-2LN33-5AA0 (water-cooled version)

Output voltage: 3.3 kV

Input voltage: 2 x 1.7 kV

Type rating: 2000 kVA, 350 A

Installation altitude: 2000 m

Max. ambient temperature: 40 °C

Untreated water inlet temperature: 40 °C

• Ambient temperature: 

- Derating factor kH = 0.9

- Derating factor kT = 1.0

- Derating factor kU = 1.0

• Untreated water inlet temperature: 

- Derating factor kH = 0.925

- Derating factor kT = 0.925

- Derating factor kU = 1.0

The smaller value for kT  kH results in this case from the dia￾grams for the untreated water in the inlet.

I  In  0.925  0.925 = In  0.856

A current derating of 14.4% is required.

The maximum available output current of the converter is 299 A.

Example 3

Converter 6SL3815-2LN33-5AA0 (water-cooled version)

Output voltage: 3.3 kV

Input voltage: 2 x 1.7 kV

Type rating: 2000 kVA, 350 A

Installation altitude: 2000 m

Max. ambient temperature: 43 °C

Untreated water inlet temperature: 30 °C

• Ambient temperature 

- Derating factor kH = 0.9

- Derating factor kT = 0.955

- Derating factor kU = 1.0

• Untreated water inlet temperature: 

- Derating factor kH = 0.925

- Derating factor kT = 1.0

- Derating factor kU = 1.0

The smaller value for kT  kH results in this case from the dia￾grams for the ambient temperature.

I  In  0.9  0.955 = In  0.86

A current derating of 14% is required.

The maximum available output current of the converter is 301 A.

and kW are approximate values which were determined for operation 

with asynchronous motors and for a typical value of the cos phi 

power factor and efficiency of the motor.

The hp figures are based on the NEC and CEC directives for the 

North American market. The kW values are quoted in steps which 

can be divided by 50.

Both approximate values need to be adapted to the motor which is 

actually used.

determined for operation with asynchronous motors and for a typical 

value of the cos phi power factor.

The hp figures are based on the NEC and CEC directives for the 

North American market. The kW values are quoted in steps which 

can be divided by 50.

Both approximate values need to be adapted to the motor which is 

actually used.

SINAMICS GM150 as IGCT version Description

Closed-loop control The machine-side closed-loop control has been expanded as a field-oriented transvector closed-loop control 

which can be operated as a speed or torque control as required. The transvector closed-loop control 

achieves the dynamics of a DC drive. This is made possible by the fact that the current components forming 

the torque and flux can be controlled precisely independently of each other. Prescribed torques can thus be 

observed and limited accurately. In the speed range from 1:10, the field-oriented closed-loop control does not 

require an actual speed value encoder.

An actual speed value encoder is required in the following scenarios:

• High dynamics requirements

• Torque control/constant torque drives with setting range > 1:10

• Very low speeds

• Very high speed accuracy

Setpoint input The setpoint can be defined internally or externally; internally as a fixed, motorized potentiometer or jog set￾point, externally via the PROFIBUS interface or an analog input of the customer terminal block. The internal 

fixed setpoints and the motorized potentiometer setpoint can be switched over or altered using control com￾mands from all interfaces.

Ramp-function generator A user-friendly ramp-function generator with separately adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down times, together 

with variable smoothing times in the lower and upper speed ranges, improves the control response and there￾fore prevents mechanical overloading of the drive train. The ramp-down ramps can be parameterized sepa￾rately for emergency stop.

Vdc max controller The Vdc max controller automatically prevents overvoltages in the DC link if the set ramp-down ramp is too 

short, for example. This can also extend the set ramp-down time.

Kinetic buffering (KIP) Power supply failures are bridged to the extent permitted by the kinetic energy of the drive train. The speed 

drops depending on the moment of inertia and the load torque. The current speed setpoint is resumed when 

the power supply returns.

Automatic restart (option) The automatic restart switches the drive on again when the power is restored after a power failure or a general 

fault, and ramps up to the current speed setpoint.

Flying restart The flying restart function permits smooth connection of the converter to a rotating motor.

Diagnostics functions • Self-diagnosis of control hardware

• Non-volatile memory for reliable diagnosis when the power supply fails

• Monitoring of HV IGBTs with individual messages for each slot

• User-friendly on-site operator panel with plain text messages

Operating hours and switching cycle 

counter

The operating hours of the fans are recorded and logged so that preventive maintenance or replacements 

can be performed. The switching cycles of the circuit-breaker are recorded and added together, to form the 

basis of preventive maintenance work.

Detecting the actual motor speed 

(option)

The SMC30 encoder module can be used to record the actual motor speed. The signals from the rotary pulse 

encoder are converted here and made available for evaluation via the DRIVE-CLiQ interface of the controller.

Operator protection The cabinet doors of the power sections are fitted with an electromagnetic lock. This prevents the cabinet 

doors being opened while hazardous voltages are connected inside the cabinet.

Software and protection functions

AOP30 operator panel

The AOP30 operator panel is fitted into the cabinet door of the 

SINAMICS GM150 to enable operation, monitoring and commis￾sioning.

It has the following features and characteristics:

• Graphical LCD display with backlighting for plain-text display 

and a bar display of process variables

• LEDs for displaying the operational status

• Help function describing causes of and remedies for faults 

and alarms

• Membrane keyboard with keypad for operational control of a 

drive

• Local/remote switchover for selecting the input point (priority 

assigned to operator panel or customer’s terminal block / 

PROFIBUS)

• Numeric keypad for input of setpoint or parameter values

• Function keys for prompted navigation in the menu

• Two-stage safety strategy to protect against accidental or un￾authorized changes to settings. The keyboard lock disables 

operation of the drive from the operator panel, so that only 

parameter values and process variables can be displayed. 

A password can be used to prevent the unauthorized modifi￾cation of converter parameters.

The operator panel languages - English, German, French, 

Italian, Spanish and Chinese - are stored on the CompactFlash 

Card of the Control Unit.

SINAMICS GM150 as IGCT version Description

EMERGENCY-STOP button The converters are equipped as standard with an EMERGENCY-STOP button with protective collar which is 

fitted in the cabinet door. The contacts of the pushbutton are connected in parallel to the terminal block so 

they can can be integrated in a protection concept on the installation side. EMERGENCY STOP category 0 is 

set as standard for an uncontrolled shutdown (DIN EN 60204-1/VDE 0113-1 (IEC 60204-1)). The function 

includes voltage disconnection of the converter output through the circuit-breaker. The motor coasts in the 

process.

EMERGENCY STOP category 1 is optionally available for a controlled shutdown.

Insulation monitoring The converters feature insulation monitoring of the whole galvanic network from the secondary side of the 

transformer to the stator windings of the motor.

Monitoring of the peripherals An extensive package of options for monitoring the peripherals (from the transformer and the motor through to 

the auxiliaries) is available. 

In addition it is possible to monitor the temperature by means of thermocouples or PT100 resistors.

Thermal overload protection A warning message is issued first when the overtemperature threshold responds. If the temperature rises fur￾ther, either a shutdown is carried out or automatic influencing of the output current so that a reduction in the 

thermal load is achieved. Following elimination of the cause of the fault (e.g. improvement in the ventilation), 

the original operating values are automatically resumed.

In the case of water-cooled converters, the water temperature and flow rate are recorded at several points in 

the cooling circuit and evaluated. An extensive self-diagnosis protects the converter and reports faults.

Grounding switch (option) If grounding on the infeed or motor side is required for safety and protection reasons, a motorized grounding 

switch can be ordered.

For safety reasons, the converter controller locks these grounding switches against activation while voltage is 

still present. The control is integrated into the protection and monitoring chain of the converter. The grounding 

switches are inserted automatically when the standard grounding switches of the DC link are inserted.

Installation conditions and derating data

Current derating

If the converters are operated at installation altitudes > 1000 m 

above sea level or under coolant temperatures > 35 °C, derating 

factors kH and kT must be taken into account for the rated cur￾rent (DIN 43671).

Derating factor kT with water cooling

Derating factor kH with air cooling

Derating factor kH with water cooling

For the permitted continuous current I: I  In  kH  kT I: permitted continuous current

In: rated current

When determining the current derating factor, it is essential to 

consider the ambient temperature of the air as well as the tem￾perature of the untreated water in the inlet, as components such 

as the link busbars are also subject to air cooling. This requires 

the factors kT and kH to be determined from the diagrams for 

air cooling as well as for water cooling. The smaller of the two 

products (kT  kH) must be used as the current derating factor 

(see the following example).

Voltage derating

At installation altitudes > 2000 m, a voltage derating is required 

in addition to a current correction (EN 60664-1/VDE 0110 

(IEC 60664-1)). This depends on the air and creepage distances 

in the unit.

4 ■ Overview

SINAMICS SM150

Water-cooled regenerative feedback SINAMICS SM150 convert￾ers are available as single or multi-motor drives with the stan￾dard medium voltage IGCT power semiconductors. With multi￾motor drives, a common DC bus enables the direct exchange of 

energy in generator and motor applications.

IGCT converters are available for the following voltage and out￾puts:

The rated output in the concrete application will depend on 

the necessary load cycle. The transient maximum outputs are 

10.5 MVA, 20 MVA and 30 MVA.

Global use

SINAMICS SM150 converters are manufactured to international 

standards and regulations, making them ideally suited for global 

use. These converters are also available in ship-going form 

(meeting the requirements of all major classification organiza￾tions).

■Benefits

7 Compact design and high flexibility in configuration ensures 

easy plant integration

7 Easy operation and observation on the convenient operator 

panel

7 Easy and reliable operation through integrated maintenance 

functions: the converter signals early and automatically if 

maintenance is required or components need to be ex￾changed

7 High robustness and reliability thanks to the use of IGCT 

power semiconductors in the high performance range and 

fuseless assembly combined with intelligent reaction to exter￾nal interference

7 Can be easily integrated into automation solutions due to 

PROFIBUS interface supplied as standard and analog and 

digital interfaces

7 High level of service-friendliness through innovative power 

unit design with compact phase components and easy 

access to all components

7 Assists system cost effectiveness by enabling reactive power 

to be made available to other drives given suitable configura￾tion

■Design

Active Line Modules and Motor Modules share an almost identi￾cal structure with both the single-motor and the multi-motor 

drive. Phase components in which IGCTs, diodes etc. are 

grouped together in one compact system are used in both.

Single-motor drive

With a single-motor drive, one Active Line Module and one Motor 

Module are connected “back-to-back” in the basic circuit by 

means of a DC link.

For greater output ratings, two or three complete converter units 

with isolated DC links are operated in parallel.

Multi-motor drive

With multi-motor drives, up to four power sections are operated 

on the common DC bus. In addition to the Active Line Module, 

three Motor Modules with three motors can be operated on 

the common DC bus with utilization of the direct exchange of 

energy.

The converter consists of cabinet units for the Active Line Mod￾ule and for the Motor Module. One of three phase components 

and the control section in the Motor Module cabinet unit are 

highlighted in the illustration.

SINAMICS SM150 Description

Closed-loop control The machine-side closed-loop control has been expanded as a field-oriented transvector closed-loop control 

which can be operated as a speed or torque control as required. The transvector closed-loop control 

achieves the dynamics of a DC drive. This is made possible by the fact that the current components forming 

the torque and flux can be controlled precisely independently of each other. Prescribed torques can thus be 

observed and limited accurately. In the speed range from 1:10, the field-oriented closed-loop control does not 

require an actual speed value encoder.

An actual speed value encoder is required in the following scenarios:

• High dynamics requirements

• Torque control/constant torque drives with setting range > 1:10

• Very low speeds

• Very high speed accuracy

Setpoint input The setpoint can be defined internally or externally; internally as a fixed, motorized potentiometer or jog set￾point, externally via the PROFIBUS interface or an analog input of the customer terminal block. The internal 

fixed setpoints and the motorized potentiometer setpoint can be switched over or altered using control com￾mands from all interfaces.

Ramp-function generator A user-friendly ramp-function generator with separately adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down times, together 

with variable smoothing times in the lower and upper speed ranges, improves the control response and there￾fore prevents mechanical overloading of the drive train. The ramp-down ramps can be parameterized sepa￾rately for emergency stop.

Vdc max controller The Vdc max controller automatically prevents overvoltages in the DC link if the set ramp-down ramp is too 

short, for example. This can also extend the set ramp-down time.

Kinetic buffering (KIP) Power supply failures are bridged to the extent permitted by the kinetic energy of the drive train. The speed 

drops depending on the moment of inertia and the load torque. The current speed setpoint is resumed when 

the power supply returns.

Automatic restart (option) The automatic restart switches the drive on again when the power is restored after a power failure or a general 

fault, and ramps up to the current speed setpoint.

Flying restart The flying restart function permits smooth connection of the converter to a rotating motor.

Diagnostics functions • Self-diagnosis of control hardware

• Non-volatile memory for reliable diagnosis when the power supply fails

• Monitoring of HV IGBTs with individual messages for each slot

• User-friendly on-site operator panel with plain text messages

Operating hours and switching cycle 

counter

The operating hours of the fans are recorded and logged so that preventive maintenance or replacements 

can be performed. The switching cycles of the circuit-breaker are recorded and added together, to form the 

basis of preventive maintenance work.

Operator protection The cabinet doors of the power sections are fitted with an electromagnetic lock. This prevents the cabinet 

doors being opened while hazardous voltages are connected inside the cabinet.

SIMATIC OP 177B operator panel

The SIMATIC OP 177B operator panel is fitted into the cabinet 

door of the SINAMICS SM150 to enable operation, monitoring 

and commissioning.

It has the following features and characteristics:

• 5.7" STN touch display

• Context-dependent operations by touch, permanently 

available functions can be selected using individual keys

• Non-volatile message buffer, no battery

English and German are available as operator panel languages.

SINAMICS SM150 Description

EMERGENCY-STOP button The converters are equipped as standard with an EMERGENCY-STOP button with protective collar which is 

fitted in the cabinet door. The contacts of the pushbutton are connected in parallel to the terminal block so 

they can can be integrated in a protection concept on the installation side. EMERGENCY STOP category 0 is 

set as standard for an uncontrolled shutdown (DIN EN 60204-1/VDE 0113-1 (IEC 60204-1)). The function 

includes voltage disconnection of the converter output through the circuit-breaker. The motor coasts in the 

process.

EMERGENCY STOP category 1 is optionally available for a controlled shutdown.

Insulation monitoring The converters feature insulation monitoring of the whole galvanic network from the secondary side of the 

transformer to the stator windings of the motor.

Monitoring of the peripherals An extensive package of options for monitoring the peripherals (from the transformer and the motor through to 

the auxiliaries) is available. 

In addition it is possible to monitor the temperature by means of thermocouples or PT100 resistors.

Thermal overload protection A warning message is issued first when the overtemperature threshold responds. If the temperature rises fur￾ther, either a shutdown is carried out or automatic influencing of the output current so that a reduction in the 

thermal load is achieved. Following elimination of the cause of the fault (e.g. improvement in the ventilation), 

the original operating values are automatically resumed.

In the case of water-cooled converters, the water temperature and flow rate are recorded at several points in 

the cooling circuit and evaluated. An extensive self-diagnosis protects the converter and reports faults.

Grounding switch (option) If grounding on the infeed or motor side is required for safety and protection reasons, a motorized grounding 

switch can be ordered.

For safety reasons, the converter controller locks these grounding switches against activation while voltage is 

still present. The control is integrated into the protection and monitoring chain of the converter. The grounding 

switches are inserted automatically when the standard grounding switches of the DC link are inserted.

Installation conditions and derating data

Current derating

If the converters are operated at installation altitudes > 1000 m 

above sea level or under coolant temperatures > 35 °C, derating 

factors kH and kT must be taken into account for the rated cur￾rent (DIN 43671).

Derating factor kT with air cooling

Derating factor kT with water cooling

Derating factor kH with air cooling

Derating factor kH with water cooling

For the permitted continuous current I: I  In  kH  kT I: permitted continuous current

In: rated current

When determining the current derating factor, it is essential to 

consider the ambient temperature of the air as well as the tem￾perature of the untreated water in the inlet, as components such 

as the link busbars are also subject to air cooling. This requires 

the factors kT and kH to be determined from the diagrams for 

air cooling as well as for water cooling. The smaller of the two 

products (kT  kH) must be used as the current derating factor 

(see the following example).

Voltage derating

At installation altitudes > 2000 m, a voltage derating is required 

in addition to a current correction (EN 60664-1/VDE 0110 

(IEC 60664-1)). This depends on the air and creepage distances 

in the unit.

1) The figures for the rated input current and the output figures in hp 

and kW are approximate values which were determined for operation 

with synchronous motors, for the power factor cos phi = 1 and taking 

into account the efficiency of the motor.

The hp figures are based on the NEC and CEC directives for the 

North American market.

The kW values are quoted in steps which can be divided by 1000.

Both approximate values need to be adapted to the motor which is 

actually use.

2) The basic circuit version is based on a drive group in which the 

drives operate both as motors and generators (see circuit version). 

Energy is exchanged by means of the DC link. The specified power 

corresponds to the infeed power.

3) Approx. 5% of the power loss is dissipated into the atmosphere.

4) Without cooling system.

5) Figures refer to a subsystem; please refer to “Circuit Versions”

for the number of subsystems to be connected on the line 

and motor side.

To enable the required description to be found more easily, the 

following option descriptions are sorted alphabetically by order 

codes. If an option is only available for certain converter config￾urations, this is indicated in brackets after the option title.

B00

NAMUR terminal block

The terminal block is designed according to the requirements 

and directives of the standards association for measurement 

and control in the chemical industry (NAMUR recommendation 

NE37), i.e. fixed terminals are assigned to certain functions of 

the devices. The inputs and outputs assigned to the terminals 

comply with “Protective extra-low voltage PELV” requirements.

Options for PTC tripping units with PTB approval and PT100 

evaluation units for use in areas at risk of explosion can be 

obtained in order to monitor the temperature of explosion-proof 

motors.

This terminal block and the associated functions are reduced to 

the required amount. In comparison to the NAMUR recommen￾dation, optional terminals are not listed.

Configuration of the NAMUR terminal block

If PT100 resistance thermometers are fitted in the windings of the 

motor in order to protect the motor, PT100 evaluation units for 

hazardous areas are available with the options L95 and L96.

If a forced-ventilated machine is used due to the application 

(load torque/control range), controlled outgoing circuits fused by 

means of motor circuit-breakers are available with the options 

N30 to N33 to enable supply to an external fan. The incoming 

voltage supply for the external fan must be provided on the in￾stallation side.

G63

Additional TM15 Terminal Module

One TM31 Terminal Module and one TM15 Terminal Module for 

integrating warning and fault messages and drive signals and 

for communicating with a higher control level are already in￾cluded in the standard version of the converter. The number of 

digital inputs and outputs can be expanded with an additional 

TM15 Terminal Module. This is recommended if, for instance, 

external signals are to be read in and processed or external 

components are to be controlled in addition to the standard 

customer’s terminal block.

The TM15 Terminal Module has:

• 24 bidirectional digital inputs and outputs (voltage isolation in 

three groups of eight channels each)

• 24 green status LEDs for indicating the logical signal status of 

the relevant terminal

G66

PADU8 diagnostic module (SINAMICS GM150 as IGCT 

version and SINAMICS SM150)

The PADU8 diagnostic module reads out up to eight analog sig￾nals and up to eight digital signals from the gating and monitor￾ing module of the power section and makes these available for 

diagnostic purposes or for further processing. The typical detec￾tion cycle of all channels in parallel is 1 ms, enabling rapid signal 

characteristics to be detected and diagnosed simultaneously. 

The detected values are transferred to an evaluation system 

(e.g. notebook) either by optical conductors or by an RJ11 

socket. All output data are available in parallel at the optical con￾ductor output and at the RJ11 socket. This means that measure￾ments can be taken in parallel at the RJ11 socket without dis￾rupting the transfer of data at the optical conductor. With the 

option G66 a PADU8 diagnostic module is integrated in the con￾trol section of each Motor Module.

G70

Pulse distributor for forwarding the speed encoder signal 

(SINAMICS SM150)

With this pulse distributor it is possible to split the encoder sig￾nal. This possibility is used, for example, when speed list values 

from an HTL incremental encoder are required at various points 

for measured-value acquisition and processing.

The pulse distributor transfers the HTL incremental encoder sig￾nals to two separate RS422 signal outputs. The inputs are elec￾trically isolated from the outputs.

8-pole terminal strips are used for the connections.

G71

Optical bus terminal (OBT) for PROFIBUS 

(SINAMICS SM150)

The PROFIBUS OBT is a network component for use in optical 

PROFIBUS DP fieldbus networks. The individual bus stations are 

linked using two-phase plastic optical conductors, resulting 

automatically in voltage isolation and preventing potential differ￾ences in very expansive installations from having any impact.

The OBT has three interfaces:

Channel 1 is an electric RS485 interface which is configured as 

a 9-pole Sub D socket and establishes the link to the converter 

controller.

Channels 2 and 3 form the optical interface. They are configured 

as a duplex socket and can be used for connection on the instal￾lation side to higher-level systems.

L29

Bidirectional synchronized bypass mode (SINAMICS GM150 

as IGBT version)

Option L29 offers synchronization with seamless (commutating) 

passing of the motor to the line and receiving of the motor from 

the line.

The converter synchronizes the motor to the existing line (phase 

relation, frequency and voltage). The motor is subsequently 

connected in parallel to the line by means of circuit-breaker S3 

before the output-side circuit-breaker S2 opens.

Approx. 100 ms go by according to the response time constants 

of the two circuit-breakers (opening time and closing time). 

Within this period of time the motor commutates from the con￾verter to the line. This ensures smooth passing of the motor to the 

line.

If the motor is to be subsequently taken from the line and oper￾ated using the converter again, the commutation process is ex￾ecuted in the reverse order. The converter is first run up no-load 

operation and its output voltage is adapted to the line voltage 

(= motor voltage) in its phase relation, frequency and amplitude. 

Then circuit-breaker S2 is closed before S3 is opened and the 

motor is isolated from the line.

This ensures that the motor is received smoothly by the con￾verter so that it can be either operated under variable speed or 

shut down under control. Speed-controlled operation during run￾ning up and shutting down does not produce any high starting 

and peak transient torques that could damage the mechanical 

connection or cause transient and pressure fluctuations in the 

process.

With option L29 a VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module is integrated 

into the converter. When combined with voltage transformers on 

the medium voltage side, the VSM10 detects the line voltage in 

phase relation, frequency and amplitude. It thus supplies the 

data for synchronization of the motor to the line and from the line 

to the converter. The converter control prepares the drive signals 

of the two circuit-breakers to be provided on the installation side.

Option L08 (output reactor) or option Y15 (sinusoidal filter) is 

also required for the decoupling of the converter output during 

the commutation process.

The S3 circuit-breaker must be configured to the motor as re￾gards protection. If temperature sensors are fitted in the motor, 

these must be monitored on the installation side for the case of 

mains operation.

Attention: Option L29 is only possible if the converter output 

voltage is the same as the line voltage.

L32

Automatic restart

Option L32 enables the converter to be restarted after a power 

failure once the mains supply has been restored.

If such a restart is required for technical reasons, the conditions 

set out below must be taken into consideration.

The 3 AC 400 V and 1 AC 230 V auxiliary infeed supplies must 

not fail; this is so that the voltage supply to the fans and coolant 

pumps and to the controller and closed-loop control is main￾tained.

If the main infeed fails, a pulse block is triggered and the DC link 

is supported through precharging for a short period. It is impor￾tant to distinguish between two cases here:

Case A:

The circuit-breaker on the input side is still switched on.

When the medium voltage supply returns, the DC link voltage 

rises. This is detected by the closed-loop control and the control￾ler. Operation is resumed when a threshold value is exceeded.

Case B:

The circuit-breaker on the input side has responded.

After a fixed time (which can be parameterized), the circuit￾breaker receives an “ON command”. The response of the DC 

link voltage is then analyzed.

If the DC link voltage falls, the converter is disconnected.

If the DC link voltage rises, operation is resumed when a 

threshold value is exceeded.

Depending on the down times, load characteristic and moment 

of inertia, the drive may be “caught” again or the machine may 

need to be “excited” again first before operation can be 

resumed.

With option L32, a VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module that detects 

the voltage at the medium-voltage level before the circuit￾breaker is fitted into the converter. Suitable voltage transformers 

need to be provided for that purpose at the medium-voltage 

level before the circuit-breaker. This enables the controller and 

closed-loop control to detect when the medium voltage returns 

after a power failure if the circuit-breaker on the input side has 

dropped out.

For safety reasons, a time limit is built in between the power 

failure and the maximum permitted line restoration time so that 

the drive cannot start up again uncontrolled.

A signal is issued in addition when restarting and can be used 

to generate an acoustic warning.

L48

Grounding switch at converter input (motorized)

If grounding on the infeed side is required for safety and protec￾tion reasons, a motorized grounding switch can be ordered un￾der code L48. The number of grounding switches will depend on 

the configuration of the infeed supply (12-/24-pulse for 

SINAMICS GM150 or 6-pulse for SINAMICS SM150).

For safety reasons, the converter controller locks these ground￾ing switches against activation while voltage is still present. The 

control is integrated into the protection and monitoring chain of 

the converter. The grounding switches are inserted automati￾cally when the standard grounding switches of the DC link are 

inserted.

In the event of maintenance work on the converter, it must be 

ensured on the installation side that there is no external voltage 

present, e.g. auxiliary voltage for fans, the cooling system, 

controller and closed-loop control and any external outputs in 

the converter.

Attention: Option L48 increases the width of the cabinet unit by 

600 mm.

Note: The option L48 is available on request with the option U01 

(version of the converter for NAFTA with UL listing).

L49

Grounding switch at converter output (motorized)

With certain operating modes/configurations of the load ma￾chine (e.g. drive group with gas turbines) or types of drive ma￾chine (e.g. PEM), there can be operating statuses at which there 

is a risk that energy will be fed back into the converter from the 

motor. This can lead to dangerous voltages. In these cases a 

motorized grounding switch for the converter output side can be 

ordered under code L49. Where power sections are connected 

in parallel, the number of circuit-breakers will rise accordingly.

For safety reasons, the converter controller locks the grounding 

switch against activation while voltage is still present. The con￾trol is integrated into the protection and monitoring chain of the 

converter. The grounding switches are inserted automatically 

when the standard grounding switches of the DC link are in￾serted.

Attention: Option L49 increases the width of the cabinet unit by 

600 mm.

Note: The option L49 is available on request with the option U01 

(version of the converter for NAFTA with UL listing).

L50

Cabinet lighting and service socket in control section

If option L50 is chosen, a universal lamp and a service socket 

(Schuko version) are installed respectively in the cabinet panels 

of the control sections for Motor Modules and Active Line Mod￾ules.

The voltage for the cabinet lighting and service socket (at termi￾nal strip =.EG-X1) is supplied externally and must be fused to no 

more than 10 A. The cabinet lighting is switched on manually via 

a switch or automatically by an integrated motion detector. The 

mode is switch-selected.

Note: In conjunction with the option U01 (version of the converter 

for NAFTA with UL listing), the option L50 is configured with sup￾ply voltage 120 V. In this case the service socket corresponds to 

the version for the USA.

L51

Isolator at the converter output (SINAMICS GM150 as IGCT 

version and SINAMICS SM150)

If isolation between the converter output and the drive motor is 

required for safety and protection reasons, a motorized isolator 

at the converter output can be ordered under code L51.

Attention: The additional cabinet on the converter makes the 

cabinet unit wider

• in the basic circuit by 600 mm

• in the parallel circuit by 2  600 mm

UPS for power supply from controller and closed-loop 

control (SINAMICS GM150)

If there is a danger of voltage dips and short-time power failures 

on the installation, the drive can continue to be operated with a 

UPS-supported closed-loop control provided that the DC link 

voltage does not fall below the Ud min limit and the medium￾voltage switch does not switch off because of the undervoltage. 

This enables the drive to withstand voltage dips to short power 

failures in conjunction with kinetic buffering, particularly where 

drives have great moments of inertia.

In the case of interruptions that lead to disconnection of the 

power section, the down time is reduced in conjunction with the 

automatic restart (option L32). The UPS is configured for a buffer 

time of up to 10 min.

Note: In conjunction with the option U01 (version of the converter 

for NAFTA with UL listing), the option L53 is available on special 

request.

L55

Anti-condensation heating for cabinet unit

The anti-condensation heating is recommended at low ambient 

temperatures and high levels of humidity to prevent condensa￾tion. The number of 100 W switch cabinet unit heaters fitted de￾pends on the number of cabinet panels. The anti-condensation 

heaters are controlled by means of a thermostat. Should the 

external auxiliary infeed fail, this is monitored and reported by 

the converter for safety reasons.

The voltage for the anti-condensation heating (110 V to 240 V 

AC, on terminal block =.GB–X1:) must be supplied externally 

and fused to a maximum of 16 A.

L60

EMERGENCY STOP category 1

EMERGENCY STOP category 1 (24 V DC) for controlled shutting 

down according to EN 60204-1/VDE 0113 T1 (IEC 60204-1).

EMERGENCY STOP category 0 is normally set for an uncon￾trolled shutdown. The function includes voltage disconnection of 

the converter output through the circuit-breaker. The motor 

coasts in the process.

The EMERGENCY STOP category 1 function includes rapid 

shutdown of the drive through a fast stop using a ramp-down 

ramp to be parameterized by the user. This is followed by volt￾age disconnection as described for EMERGENCY STOP cate￾gory 0. The EMERGENCY STOP button with protective collar is 

fitted in the converter cabinet door and its contacts are con￾nected on the terminal block so that they can be connected in 

parallel in the customer’s protection concept. (Terminal block 

=.LA–X51:1A or 1C and =.LA–X51:2A or 2C)

Attention: When the EMERGENCY STOP button is actuated, the 

motor is shut down uncontrolled or controlled and the main volt￾age on the motor is disconnected. Auxiliary voltages, e.g. for 

supplying external fans or anti-condensation heating, may still 

be present. Certain areas within the converter such as the 

closed-loop control or auxiliaries, also remain under voltage. If 

all voltages have to be completely disconnected, the EMER￾GENCY STOP button must be integrated into a protection con￾cept on the installation side. An NC contact is available at termi￾nal =.LA–X51:1A or 1C and =.LA–X51:2A or 2C for that purpose.

Attention: The braking process can take considerable time even 

with an EMERGENCY STOP category 1. This depends on the 

one hand on the moment of inertia of the load and on the other 

hand on whether the power section on the mains side is an 

Active Line Module (SINAMICS SM150) or a Basic Line Module 

(SINAMICS GM150). Terminal Meaning

M10

Safety locking system

The safety locking system is based on the key transfer system 

from the company Castell and is used in addition to the electro￾magnetic door locking system provided as standard. To obtain 

the coded key of the key exchange unit the medium-voltage 

switch must first be opened. The opened medium-voltage switch 

releases the key to the key exchange unit, which is used to 

release the keys to the converter cabinet doors of the power 

section that are stored here. This ensures that the converter is 

isolated from the medium voltage and that the medium voltage 

in the cabinet is no longer applied. As long as the cabinet doors 

are not closed again and the keys of the converter cabinet doors 

are not put back into the key exchange unit, the key for the me￾dium voltage switch will not be released and the medium voltage 

switch cannot be activated again.

M11

Dust protection (SINAMICS GM150, air-cooled)

With option M11 the cabinet doors are fitted with additional filter 

mats to prevent the ingress of dangerous dust deposits on the 

power section components. The filter mats are fitted to the out￾side of the doors, which means that they can be replaced during 

operation.

The degree of contamination of the filter mats is monitored 

constantly by a differential pressure process. A maintenance 

request is issued in plenty of time before the filter mats get 

clogged up.

When replacing the filter mats, it must be ensured that no dust 

gets into the cabinet unit through the air pulled in by the cabinet 

fans as they run.

M13

Power cable connected to the converter input from above 

(SINAMICS GM150 as IGBT version)

Given suitable installation conditions, option M13 enables the

that the maximum connectable cross-section for TM31 and 

TM15 is limited to 1.5 mm2.

With option M32, the signals are led to a terminal block where

Customer terminal block with screw-type terminals 

for signal cables up to 2.5 mm2

The signal cable is normally connected directly to the terminals 

of the TM31 or TM15 Terminal Modules. It must be remembered 

that the maximum connectable cross-section for TM31 and 

TM15 is limited to 1.5 mm2.

With option M33, the signals are led to a terminal block where 

connection is by means of screw terminals (applies also to op￾tional Terminal Modules). In this case connection cross-sections 

of up to 2.5 mm2 are permitted.

M34

Auxiliary voltage and signal cable connected from above 

(SINAMICS GM150 as IGBT version)

Given suitable installation conditions, option M34 enables the 

auxiliary infeed and the signal cable to be introduced into the 

cabinet unit from above.

5 ■ Options (continued)

M42

IP42 degree of protection (SINAMICS GM150 as air-cooled 

IGBT version)

With option M42, the degree of protection of the air-cooled con￾verters can be enhanced (IP22 is standard). Additional close￾meshed grilles where the air comes in and goes out prevent the 

ingress of solid matter with diameters > 1.0 mm.

M54

IP54 degree of protection (SINAMICS GM150 as water￾cooled IGBT version)

With option M54, the degree of protection of the water-cooled 

converters can be enhanced (IP43 is standard). Losses within 

the cabinet unit that cannot be dissipated directly through the 

coolant (thermal radiation) are dissipated by an additional inter￾nal air circuit by means of an air-water heat exchanger.

M61

Redundant fan in the power section (SINAMICS GM150, 

air-cooled)

To improve system availability, it is possible to equip the con￾verter with an additional redundantly operating fan. If a fan within 

the converter cabinet unit fails, this is immediately detected by 

the differential pressure detector in the cabinet and the redun￾dant fan is activated by the converter controller without the con￾verter and hence the drive system failing. This enables produc￾tion down times or interruptions to be avoided and replacement 

of the faulty fan to be postponed until the next scheduled shut￾down.

M64

Converter prepared for connection to an external exhaust 

air system, with internal cabinet fans (SINAMICS GM150, 

air-cooled)

Retaining the fans inside the cabinet unit ensures that the vol￾ume of cool air required for cooling can be supplied without any 

major distribution faults occurring. If the exhaust air is led in a 

duct system over long sections or even around bends, the pres￾sure drop that arises in this duct system must be compensated 

by additional fans within the exhaust air system. Suitable “flange 

connections” for connecting the converter to an external exhaust 

air system are located in the roof part of the cabinet unit.

M66

Shipworthiness with type certificate (SINAMICS GM150, 

water-cooled)

With option M66, the version of the converter meets the require￾ments of the following classification organizations:

• Lloyds Register

• American Bureau of Shipping

• Germanischer Lloyd

• Bureau Veritas

• Det Norske Veritas

• Chinese Classification Society.

Option M66 includes a reinforced mechanical version of the 

cabinet unit, handrails below the operator panel and mechanical 

locking of the cabinet unit doors. The cabinet unit has IP44 pro￾tection and contains a cabinet anti-condensation heater (option 

L55). It is supplied with a reinforced base frame which can be 

welded to the ship floor to ensure that the converter is securely 

located.

Note: The reinforced base frame increases the height of the con￾verter by 100 mm.

Note: If the converter is used for a safety-relevant (“essential ser￾vice”) drive on the ship, individual certification is also required 

(see options E11 to E71).

M78

Power cable connected to the converter output from above 

(SINAMICS GM150 as IGBT version)

Given suitable installation conditions, option M78 enables the 

motor-side power cable to be introduced into the cabinet unit 

from above.

Attention: Depending on the configuration, the width of the 

cabinet unit may increase.

5 ■ Options (continued)

N13

Circuit-breaker at converter input (SINAMICS GM150, 

for 24-pulse Basic Line Module on request)

Option N13 provides two integrated circuit-breakers. Option 

N13 is particularly important in the retrofit business where exist￾ing circuit-breakers do not meet requirements (tripping times, 

low-voltage coil). The two circuit-breakers are installed below the 

Basic Line Module in the converter cabinet unit and are thus 

located on the secondary side of the line-side transformer.

Attention: On the 12-pulse IGBT version of the 

SINAMICS GM150 (small ratings at 2.3 kV, 3.3 kV and 4.16 kV), 

the two optional circuit-breakers are integrated with no change 

of cabinet width when the option N13 is chosen. For all other 

versions the cabinet width increases.

Note: In conjunction with the option U01 (version of the converter 

for NAFTA with UL listing) and for converters with a 24-pulse Ba￾sic Line Module, the option N13 is available on special request.

N15

24-pulse Basic Line Module (SINAMICS GM150)

For particularly high requirements in respect of low circuit feed￾backs, the power sections of voltage ranges 2.3 kV, 3.3 kV and 

4.16 kV can be supplied with a 24-pulse Basic Line Module.

Converters of greater ratings with power sections connected in 

parallel and converters from the voltage ranges 6.0 kV and 

6.6 kV can be operated even without this 24-pulse option. The 

converter transformer required at the medium-voltage level must 

be designed as a five-winding transformer, or else two two-tier 

transformers must be provided. Vector groups and winding 

displacements must be taken into account.

Attention: With the option N15 the width of the converter cabinet 

for SINAMICS GM150 as IGBT version increases by 600 mm.

N20

110 V to 120 V DC capacitor trip device (SINAMICS GM150 

as IGBT version)

The capacitor trip device is used if the existing circuit-breaker 

has no low-voltage coil and cannot be retrofitted.

It is installed in the converter and has the following functions:

• Monitoring of the auxiliary voltage supply of the circuit-breaker 

on the installation side

• Monitoring of the own internal voltage supply

• Locking of the circuit-breaker in the ON position if there is 

insufficient voltage

The capacitor trip device ensures that the customer’s circuit￾breaker can still be safely disconnected even if there is a power 

failure or the normal OFF command is not effective, e.g. because 

of a wire break.

Note: The option N20 cannot be combined with the option U01 

(version of the converter for NAFTA with UL listing).

N21

230 V DC capacitor trip device (SINAMICS GM150 as IGBT 

version)

The capacitor trip device is used if the existing circuit-breaker 

has no low-voltage coil and cannot be retrofitted.

It is installed in the converter and has the following functions:

• Monitoring of the auxiliary voltage supply of the circuit-breaker 

on the installation side

• Monitoring of the own internal voltage supply

• Locking of the circuit-breaker in the ON position if there is 

insufficient voltage

The capacitor trip device ensures that the circuit-breaker on the 

installation side can still be safely disconnected even if there is 

a power failure or the normal OFF command is not effective, e.g. 

because of a wire break.

Note: The option N21 cannot be combined with the option U01 

(version of the converter for NAFTA with UL listing).

N22

Circuit-breaker on input side (exciter unit, see Accessories)

When option N22 is chosen, a circuit-breaker which is controlled 

by the exciter unit itself is integrated on the input side. On the 

variants for brushless (RG) reverse field excitation this circuit￾breaker is configured as a contactor, on the variants for slipring 

excitation as a disconnector.

Note: If this circuit-breaker is not available, an external circuit￾breaker must be provided.

Rating plate languages

The rating plate is normally supplied in two languages (English/

German). Other languages can be ordered using the codes 

below.

Note: It is not possible to combine several options (T58 to T91).

U01

Version of converter for NAFTA with UL listing

A version of the converter for the North American market is 

supplied with the option U01. It is approved and listed by the 

Underwriter Laboratories (UL).

The option U01 is available only for SINAMICS GM150 as an 

air-cooled IGBT version in the voltage classes 2.3 kV, 3.3 kV and 

4.16 kV.

• Following options are included as standard in the option U01: 

- M10 (safety locking system)

- M11 (dust protection)

- T58 (rating plate in English/French)

In addition the converters as NAFTA version have an auxiliary 

voltage connection for 3 AC 480 V/1 AC 120 V. Both auxiliary 

voltages must be made available on the installation side.

In conjunction with the option U01, the option L50 (cabinet 

lighting and service socket in the control section) is configured 

with supply voltage 120 V. In this case the service socket corre￾sponds to the version for the USA.

• Following options cannotbe combined with the option U01: 

- N20 and N21 (capacitor trip device)

- L95 (PT100 evaluation unit with 6 inputs for hazardous 

areas)

• Following options are available in combination with the option 

U01 on special request: 

- N13 (circuit-breaker at converter input)

- E01 and E02 (control of separately excited synchronous 

motors)

- L53 (UPS for power supply from controller and closed-loop 

control)

W02

Recooling unit with redundant pumps and redundant high￾grade steel plate heat exchangers (with water cooling)

The recooling unit is used to dissipate the power loss from the 

converter and consists of two cooling circuits: the internal cool￾ing circuit with deionized fresh water and the external untreated 

water circuit for dissipating the power loss. In the standard ver￾sion the internal cooling circuit has two redundantly operating 

circulation pumps and one high-grade steel plate heat ex￾changer. With option W02, a second high-grade steel plate heat 

exchanger is integrated to enable fully redundant operation.

W11

Recooling unit with redundant pumps and a titanium plate 

heat exchanger (with water cooling)

If the untreated water described in the technical data is not avail￾able for the recooling unit, option W11 must be chosen. This is 

required in the case of aggressive untreated water such as sea￾water, for instance. With option W11, a titanium plate heat ex￾changer is installed instead of the high-grade steel plate heat 

exchanger. The three-way valve for preventing condensation 

and the necessary pipe connections are still made from high￾grade steel.

Attention: When option W11 is chosen, the piping on the un￾treated water side is made of high-grade steel, not titanium.

W12

Recooling unit with redundant pumps and redundant tita￾nium plate heat exchangers (with water cooling)

With option W12, two fully redundantly operating titanium plate 

heat exchangers are integrated for the internal cooling circuit 

(other characteristics as described under option W11).

Attention: When option W12 is chosen, the piping on the un￾treated water side is made of high-grade steel, not titanium.

W14

Converter without recooling unit, provided on the installa￾tion side (with water cooling)

When option W14 is chosen, the water-cooled converter is sup￾plied without a recooling unit. The necessary cooling system 

must be provided on the installation side.

Note: Option W14 reduces the width and weight of the cabinet 

(data available on request).

W20

Untreated water connection from underneath 

(SINAMICS GM150 as IGBT version)

Option W20 enables the untreated water for the recooling unit to 

be supplied from underneath through the floor by means of a 

flange connection. The necessary mating flanges are included 

as a pack with the recooling unit.

Note: With water-cooled IGBT converters, the untreated water is 

supplied to the recooling unit through the side panel from the 

left-hand side. With IGCT converters, the untreated water is 

normally supplied to the recooling unit from underneath.

Y09

Special paint finish according to RAL....

Converters are normally supplied in RAL 7035 (light gray). A 

special color must be specified in plain text when ordering. In 

the case of the SINAMICS GM150 in air-cooled version, the fans 

are still finished in RAL 7035 even if the cabinet unit is in a spe￾cial color.

Y10

Customized circuit diagrams

The circuit diagrams are given customized headers.

The data for the header must be given in plain text (up to three 

lines of 45 characters per line).

Y15

Sinusoidal filter (SINAMICS GM150 as IGBT version)

Sinusoidal filters are needed if the converter is used in the retrofit 

business, where existing motors have to be operated under 

speed control or where the operation of external motors is in￾tended and where no special additional measures have been 

made for converter operation. Sinusoidal filters are also needed 

when unshielded motor cables are used.

The sinusoidal filters charge the motors with almost sinusoidal 

motor currents and voltages so that the operation of line motors 

is possible. Standard cables (without EMC shielding) can be 

used between the sinusoidal filter and the motor. The voltage 

harmonic distortion at an output frequency of 50 Hz is less than 

5% when sinusoidal filters are used.

If the sinusoidal filter is used, the output of the converter must be 

reduced (see technical data).

It must also be remembered that only machines with a quadratic 

load characteristic (fluid machines) can be operated. Field￾shunting operation is not permitted. Possible nominal output 

frequencies are limited to the range 30 Hz to max. 66 Hz. The 

frequency setting range is 1:10.

Note: The rated motor current, the motor current in the operating 

point and the motor no-load current must be given in plain text 

when ordering filters.

Attention: Option Y15 increases the width of the cabinet unit 

(for dimensions see Technical Data).

Y17

Line reactor (exciter unit, see Accessories)

With the option Y17 a line reactor is integrated to protect against 

excessive harmonic currents and to limit the circuit feedbacks. 

The exact values for the reactor must be given in plain text as 

they are dependent on the supplying network.

Y40

Untreated water data deviating from the catalog data 

(with water cooling, on request)

With option Y40, untreated water whose data does not conform 

to the technical data can also be used in water-cooled convert￾ers (for specification, see the section Recooling Unit in the chap￾ter Notes on Configuration). Deviations from the values indicated 

in the specification must be clarified in advance.

Y75

Auxiliary voltage other than 3 AC 400 V (SINAMICS GM150)

An auxiliary supply of 3 AC 400 V must be provided on the instal￾lation side to supply voltage to the fans, controller and closed￾loop control and protection and monitoring units and to pre￾charge the DC link. If the auxiliary infeed supply on the installa￾tion differs from this value, option Y75 for adjusting the voltage 

must be chosen. In this case the three-phase infeed supply 

which differs from the standard version is adapted with three 

individual transformers to the required voltage level. Tappings 

from 3 AC 200 V to 3 AC 690 V are available for this purpose. 

The auxiliary voltage and frequency available at the place of 

installation must be indicated in plain text so that the required 

matching transformers can be configured. The current required 

for the auxiliary infeed supply can be determined from the data 

for the current requirement at 3 AC 400 V (see Technical Data, 

Conversion to Existing Auxiliary Voltage).

Note: For isolated systems the maximum supply voltage is 

3 AC 500 V.

Note: Access to the matching transformers is possible only from 

the rear of the converter.

9 ■ Overview

Active infeed

Overall functionality of an infeed with  “Active Line Module”, 

including the required additional components (filters, switching 

devices, computing power portion of a  “Control Unit”, voltage 

detection, and so on).

For cabinet-mounted units, a  “Motor Module” can be used 

instead of the  “Active Line Module”.

Active Line Module

Regulated, self-commutating feed/feedback unit (with IGBTs in 

feed/feedback direction), which supplies a constant DC link 

voltage for the  “Motor Modules”.

Asynchronous motor

The asynchronous motor is an AC motor, which runs at a speed 

“lagging behind” the synchronous speed.

Asynchronous motors can be connected to the AC line both 

directly in a star or delta circuit and via a converter.

When combined with a converter, asynchronous motors form a 

“variable-speed drive system”.

Other commonly used terms: squirrel-cage motor, cage motor.

See also  “Synchronous motor”.

Basic infeed

Overall functionality of an infeed with  “Basic Line Module”, 

including the required additional components (filters, switching 

devices, etc.).

Basic Line Module

Unregulated line infeed unit (diode bridge or thyristor bridge, 

without feedback) for rectifying the line voltage for the DC link.

CompactFlash Card

Memory card for non-volatile storage of the drive software and 

corresponding parameters. The memory card can be plugged 

into the  “Control Unit” from the outside.

Control Unit

Central control module in which the closed-loop and open-loop 

control functions for one or more SINAMICS  “Line Modules” 

and/or  “Motor Modules” are implemented.

DC link

The component of the converter (or converter system) that 

connects the input converter (rectifier) and the output converter 

(one or more inverters).

With voltage source DC link converters like SINAMICS, a con￾stant DC voltage is present in the DC link (rectified line voltage).

DRIVE-CLiQ

Abbreviation for “Drive Component Link with IQ”.

Communication system for connecting the various components 

of a SINAMICS drive system, e.g.  “Control Unit”,  “Line 

Modules”,  “Motor Modules”, motors and speed/position 

encoders.

In terms of hardware, DRIVE CLiQ is based on Standard Indus￾trial Ethernet with twisted-pair cables. The DRIVE-CLiQ line pro￾vides the transmit and receive signals, as well as the +24 V 

power supply.

Field weakening

Field weakening describes the reducing of the magnetizing cur￾rent of an electric motor in order that the speed can be increased 

further when the rated voltage is reached.

Kinetic buffering

Kinetic buffering (KIP) is a software function, which can be used 

to bridge transient line failures (up to approx. 1 s or as long as 

the drive continues to turn). Kinetic buffering can usually only be 

used on drives that are primarily motor-driven. It requires a suffi￾ciently large centrifugal mass, i.e., sufficient kinetic energy, on 

the part of the mechanical transmission element. During the line 

failure, KIP switches the machine to no-load operation or light re￾generation (in order to cover the minor losses from the motor and 

inverter). Once the line supply has been restored, the machine 

switches back to standard motor-driven operation.

In order to use kinetic buffering, the technological conditions 

must be in place to allow the motor to coast or brakes for the 

duration of the line failure. In some applications with multi-motor 

drives, the speed ratios between the individual drives have to be 

maintained during kinetic buffering, in order to prevent the web 

from tearing or damage. In such cases, kinetic buffering may 

only be activated on one of the drives (usually the main drive). 

The reduced speed setpoint values must then be fed into the 

overall setpoint cascade.

Line Module

A Line Module is a power component that generates the DC link 

voltage for one or more  “Motor Modules” from a 3-phase line 

voltage.

The following types of Line Module are used in the SINAMICS 

system:

 “Basic Line Module” and  “Active Line Module”.

9 ■ Overview (continued)

Motor Module

A Motor Module is a power unit (DC-AC inverter) that provides 

the power supply for the connected motor.

Power is supplied through the  “DC link” of the drive line-up.

A Motor Module must be connected to a  “Control Unit” 

housing the open-loop and closed-loop control functions for 

the Motor Module via  “DRIVE-CLiQ”.

Non-Siemens motor

A motor is designated as a non-Siemens motor if its motor data 

is not known to the drive line-up, and it cannot be identified by 

means of its order number.

The motor data of an external motor is required for commission￾ing. It must be entered manually in the corresponding parame￾ters.

Output reactor

Reactor (inductance) at the converter or inverter output for re￾ducing the capacitive charge/discharge currents in long power 

cables.

PROFIBUS

Standardized field bus to IEC 61158, Sections 2 to 6.

PROFIdrive

PROFIBUS profile specified for speed and position-controlled 

drives by the PROFIBUS user organization (German: PNO).

The latest version is the PROFIdrive V3 profile.

Sensor Module

Hardware module for evaluating speed/position encoder sig￾nals.

Synchronous motor

Synchronous motors run at the same frequency with which they 

are operated: They do not have a slip (like  “Asynchronous 

motors”). Synchronous motors require different feedforward and 

feedback control concepts depending on their design to ensure 

that they can be operated with converters.

Synchronous motors are distinguished by the following features:

• permanent-field/separately excited

• with/without damping cage

• with/without position encoder.

Synchronous motors are used for different reasons:

• high drive dynamic response

• high overload capability

• high speed accuracy with exactly specified frequency 

(SIEMOSYN motors).

Terminal Module

Terminal extension module for snapping onto the installation rail, 

for installation in the control cabinet.

In SINAMICS, Terminal Module TM31 is available with analog 

and digital I/O terminals.
