General Engineering Information For Sinamics; Overview Of Documentation - Siemens SINAMICS G130 Engineering Manual

3 General Engineering Information for SINAMICS

3.1 Overview of documentation

A large number of documents is available relating to the SINAMICS equipment range. The following list provides you
with an overview of these documents and helps you to quickly locate the right source for the information you need.
Please note that the list includes only documents which relate to the SINAMICS converters covered by this
engineering manual.
Definitions of terms and contents of the main categories of documents
Catalogs
The Catalogs D 11, D 21.3 and PM 21 / "SINAMICS S120 drive system" provide the descriptions, technical data and
order numbers of the SINAMICS converters and system components included in this engineering manual.
They are provided as a selection guide and ordering document for SINAMICS converters and system components.
Engineering manuals
Engineering manuals are sources of supplementary information which is too detailed to be included in catalogs. They
provide detailed system descriptions and deal with important topics relating to the drive configuring processes.
They serve as an engineering guide which helps you dimension and design SINAMICS drive systems correctly and
select the appropriate SINAMICS converters and system components.
Function manuals
These manuals provide information about the functionality integrated in the SINAMICS firmware, i.e. they describe
the relevant individual functions and explain how they are commissioned and integrated in the drive system.
They serve as a configuring reference and as a guide to commissioning preconfigured SINAMICS drive systems.
Equipment manuals
Equipment manuals provide information about installing, connecting up, commissioning, maintaining and servicing
SINAMICS converters and system components.
They serve as a guide to operating SINAMICS converters and system components.
Commissioning manuals
These provide instructions on how to commission SINAMICS converters after they have been installed and
connected up.
They are also a guide to commissioning preconfigured SINAMICS drives.
List manuals
List manuals provide a comprehensive listing of all parameters integrated in the SINAMICS firmware, including a
description and possible setting values. They also provide function diagrams and a list of all alarm and fault
messages.
They serve as a guide for commissioning preconfigured SINAMICS drive systems and are also useful for
troubleshooting and fault diagnostics.
Note:
While the information in the SINAMICS catalogs and the SINAMICS engineering manual is largely not specific to any
particular firmware version, the data in the
·
function manuals,
·
equipment manuals,
·
commissioning manuals and
·
list manuals
generally relate to a particular firmware version, i.e. this documentation is updated every time a new firmware version
is released.
