Bypass Function - Siemens SINAMICS G150 Operating Instructions Manual

9.3.2

Bypass function

The bypass function uses digital drive outputs to activate two contactors and uses digital
inputs to evaluate the contactor's feedback (e.g., via TM31). This circuit allows the motor to
be operated using the converter or directly on the supply line. The contactors are activated
by the converter. The feedback signals for the contactor positions have to be returned to the
converter.
The bypass circuit can be implemented in two ways:
● without synchronizing the motor to the supply and
● with synchronizing the motor to the supply.
The following applies to all bypass versions:
● The bypass switch is also shut down when one of the "OFF2" or "OFF3" control word
● Exception:
● When the converter is started up again after POWER OFF, the status of the bypass
● Changing the converter into "Ready to start and bypass" status after powering up, is of a
● Monitoring of the motor temperatures using temperature sensors is active while the
● The two motor contactors must be designed for switching under load.
Preconditions
The bypass function is only available for sped control without encoders (p1300 = 20) or V/f-
control (p1300 = 0...19) and when using an asynchronous motor.

signals is canceled.
If necessary, the bypass switch can be interlocked by a higher-level controller such that
the converter can be shut down completely (i.e. including the controller electronics) while
the motor is operated on the supply.
The protective interlocking must be implemented on the system side.
contactors is evaluated. After powering up, the converter can thereby change straight into
"Ready to start and bypass" status. This is only possible if the bypass is activated via a
control signal, the control signal (p1266) is still present once the system has been
ramped up, and the automatic restart function (p1200 = 4) is active.

converter is in one of two statuses "Ready to start and bypass" or "Ready for operation
and bypass".
Note
The examples contained in the following descriptions are only basic circuits designed to
explain the basic function. The dimensions of specific circuit configurations (contactors,
protective equipment) must be calculated for specific systems.
