Drive Control Chart (DCC)

For complex applications that cannot be implemented with the free function blocks, the DCC
technology option is available. With DCC, a function diagram can be graphically created,
which comprises elementary function blocks that are connected with each other, and which
can then be loaded into the SINAMICS DC MASTER.
The following steps are required to implement an executable DCC control with the
SINAMICS DCM:
1. Installation of STARTER and a DCC license on the PC
2. Loading the DCC technology option on to the memory (ROM) in the drive unit.
3. Configure a DCC diagram on the PC (DCC editor)
4. Compile the DCC diagram on the PC and load it into the drive
Notes
● Detailed information on the function blocks is contained in the "SINAMICS SIMOTION
Function Manual DCC Block Description" as well as in the "SINAMICS SIMOTION
Programming Manual DCC Editor". This chapter describes the special features of the
DCC technology option with SINAMICS DCM.
● Simultaneous use of the free function blocks and the DCC technology option are feasible.
● This additional functionality through DCC increases the CPU time load. That means the
maximum possible configuration with a Control Unit may be restricted.
● Before you load a STARTER project with DCC chart into the drive, you must load the
DCC technology option into the memory of the drive unit (see the following Chapter).
If you attempt to load a DCC chart into the drive, although the DCC technology option is
not available in the drive, then the drive signals a fault.
To eliminate this fault, you have the following options:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Now install the DCC technology option as described in the following Chapter. Then,
carry out a POWER OFF / ON. Now load the STARTER project together with the DCC
chart into the drive.
Delete the DCC chart from the STARTER project and load the project into the drive
without DCC chart.
Restore the factory settings
Carry out a POWER OFF / ON.
