Commissioning 5.2 Preparing for commissioning 5.2.2 Does the motor match the converter? The converter is preset on a motor at the factory as shown in the figure below. Figure 5-3 Motor data factory settings The rated current of the motor must be in the range 13% to 100% of the rated converter current.
Commissioning 5.2 Preparing for commissioning 5.2.3 Factory setting of the inverter control Switching the motor on and off The inverter is set in the factory so that after it has been switched on, the motor accelerates up to its speed setpoint in 10 seconds (referred to 1500 rpm). After it has been switched off, the motor also brakes with a ramp-down time of 10 seconds.
Commissioning 5.2 Preparing for commissioning 5.2.4 Inverter function modules Function modules Not all of the inverter functions are enabled in the factory setting. For instance, you must enable the "Encoder" function, so that the inverter can evaluate an encoder signal. A function module is a set of inverter functions that can be released or inhibited all together.

Commissioning 5.2 Preparing for commissioning 5.2.5 V/f control or vector control (speed/torque)? For induction motors, there are two different open-loop control or closed-loop control techniques: ● V/f control (calculation of the motor voltage using a characteristic curve) ● Closed-loop speed control (also: field-oriented control or vector control) Criteria for selecting either V/f control or vector control In many applications, the V/f control suffices to change the speed of induction motors.
Commissioning 5.2 Preparing for commissioning 5.2.6 Encoders for speed and position control Vector control without encoder or speed control with encoder? The inverter can control the motor speed both with as well as without encoder. Figure 5-6 Speed control with and without encoder Speed control with encoder has the advantage of higher speed accuracy when compared to vector control without encoder, especially for speeds <...
Commissioning 5.3 Restoring the factory setting Restoring the factory setting There are cases where something goes wrong when commissioning a drive system e.g.: ● The line voltage was interrupted during commissioning and you were not able to complete commissioning. ● You got confused during the commissioning and you can no longer understand the individual settings that you made.

Appendix A.8 Application Examples A.8.2 Configuring PROFIBUS communication in STEP 7 Using a suitable example, the following section provides information on how you configure the communication of an inverter to a higher-level SIMATIC control system. To configure the communication between an inverter and a SIMATIC control system, you require the SIMATIC STEP 7 software tool with HW Config.
The more user-friendly option is only available when STARTER is installed (see Section Tools to commission the converter (Page 39)). Using an example of a SINAMICS G120 with Control Unit CU240B-2 or CU240E-2, the procedure shows how you insert the inverter into the project using the GSD.
