Application planning
6.1 Installation location
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) means that devices can operate satisfactorily without
interfering with other devices and without interference from other devices. The EMC
requirements for variable-speed drive systems (Power Drive System, PDS) are detailed in
product standard IEC/EN 61800-3. A variable-speed drive system consists of SIMATIC Drive
Controller, Line Module and Motor Module and the corresponding electric motors and
encoders, including connecting cables. The machine powered is not part of the drive system.
Note
The same installation information regarding EMC applies to the SIMATIC Drive Controller as to
SINAMICS S120 control units CU320-2.
The SINAMICS S120 power units are designed for use in the Second Environment. The Second
Environment is understood as all non-residential locations. The main Second Environment
locations are industrial zones supplied by the medium voltage network via their own
transformers.
For compliance with the interference emission and immunity levels, follow the installation
information in the SINAMICS S120 manuals.
You can find further information on this topic in the SINAMICS S120 Function Manuals
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/13231/man).
Use of wireless devices or mobile phones
Using wireless devices or cell phones in the immediate vicinity of the components can cause
the devices to malfunction. The malfunctions can affect the functional safety of machinery
and can therefore pose a risk to people or cause material damage.
• If you come closer to the components than c. 2 m, you switch off the wireless devices or
mobile phones.
• Only use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support App" on the device that is off.
Overvoltage protection
Please note the following information regarding overvoltage protection:
NOTICE
Damage to the device
Inadequately dimensioned overvoltage protection can result in severe damage to the
device.
You should therefore ensure that the overvoltage protection is adequate.
Further information
You can find further information on the selection of the installation location, ambient
conditions for operation, minimum spacing, etc. can be found in Installation (Page 113).
