Operation
9.1 Basic information
The work memory receives all project information and application programs while the device
is being operated. To save the current data from the work memory, you must copy it to non-
volatile memory before shutting down, refer to the "Commissioning " chapter, "Copying RAM
to ROM function".
An optional Memory Card is used:
● For saving various parameter data sets
● For transferring the parameter data sets to additional SINAMICS DCM drives
● For series commissioning
The memory card is needed:
● For installing software updates
● For using an AOP30 in languages other than German and English
● To use the function "SINAMICS Link" (see Chapter "Communication via SINAMICS Link")
● to load the DCC block library into the drive
Note
The memory card supplied from Siemens as option S01 or S02 includes, when supplied, a
dump of the internal unit software. These files are required to update the software as well as
to use the "SINAMICS Link" function. These files can be deleted for other applications.
Before you use the card for the functions described in this chapter, copy these files to a local
folder of your PG/PC and delete the files on the memory card.
Parameter data sets
Parameter data sets represent all of the the parameters of a project - including the DCC
charts and the project itself. Parameter data sets differ on the basis of drive configuration
(power unit, motor, encoder, etc. used) and application (e.g. function modules, type of
control).
Different amounts of data can be saved in the 3 memory areas:
● ROM: Four parameter data sets with the indices 0, 10, 11, and 12
● The parameter data set with the index 0 is active in the RAM
● Memory card: Depending on the free storage space, up to 101 parameter data sets
Note
The DCC library itself is not saved as a part of the parameter data set.
