    The data type of a parameter defines the maximum possible value range. Five data types are used for SINAMICS G120. They either represent an unsigned integer value (U16, U32) or a floating-point value (float). The value range is frequently restricted by a minimum and maximum value (min, max) or using inverter/motor quantities.
  • Page 63 5.2 Parameters Unit For SINAMICS G120, the units of a particular parameter involve the physical quantity (e.g. m, s, A). Quantities are measurable properties/characteristics of physical objects, operations, states and are represented using characters of a formula (e.g. V = 9 V).

    Description For applications where the control quantities are generated from central control systems, fine tuning is often required locally on-site (correction quantity). For SINAMICS G120, this can be elegantly realized using the summation point where the main and supplementary (additional) setpoints are added in the setpoint channel.
  • Page 256 Motors can have one or several resonance points in the range from 0 Hz up to the reference frequency. These resonance points result in oscillations which, under worst case conditions, can damage the motor load. Using skip frequencies, SINAMICS G120 allows these resonant frequencies to be passed through as quickly as possible. This means that the skip frequencies increase the availability of the motor load over the long term.

    Closed-loop Vdc control Overview In addition to DC, compound and dynamic braking, for the SINAMICS G120 it is possible to prevent a DC link overvoltage condition using the closed-loop Vdc controller. With this technique, the output frequency is automatically modified during operation using the closed- loop Vdc controller so that the motor doesn't go too far into the regenerative mode.

  • Page 346: Thermal Motor Protection And Overload Responses

    – Description The SINAMICS G120 has a completely new integrated concept for thermal motor protection. There are numerous possibilities of effectively protecting the motor but at the same time ensuring high motor utilization. The basic philosophy of this innovative concept is to detect critical thermal states, output warnings and initiate the appropriate responses.
  • Page 347 Functions 8.22 Thermal motor protection and overload responses Features The protective concept (see figure below) distinguishes itself as a result of the following individual features: ● Protection is effective without using any temperature sensor (P0601 = 0). The temperatures of various locations in the motor are indirectly determined using a temperature model.
  • Page 348: Thermal Motor Model

    The data, required for the thermal motor model, is estimated from the rating plate data entered during the quick commissioning. This data permits reliable, stable operation for standard Siemens motors. If required, parameter changes must be made for motors from third-party manufacturers. We always recommend that an automatic motor data identification run is made after quick commissioning so that the electrical equivalent circuit diagram data can be determined.

  • Page 350: Temperature Sensors

    Functions 8.22 Thermal motor protection and overload responses Procedure when measuring the temperature After the power supply is switched-in and an ON command is issued, the motor is first magnetized. If the "Determine the motor temperature after motor start" function has still not been activated, the motor immediately starts to rotate after the ON command has been issued.
  • Page 351 With PTC temperature sensor (P0601 = 1) The PTC is connected to the control terminals 14 and 15 of the SINAMICS G120. PTC monitoring is activated with the parameter setting P0601 = 1. If the resistance value, connected at the terminals, is less than 1500 Ω, then neither alarm nor fault is generated.

    F0001, F0002, F0003, F0020 Function chart number: Description Just the same as for motor protection, the SINAMICS G120 provides extensive protection for the power components. This protection concept is sub-divided into two levels: ● Warning and response ● Fault and shutdown Using this concept, a high utilization of the power module components can be achieved without the inverter being immediately shut down.
  • Page 354 Functions 8.23 Power Module protection the possibilities of assigning parameters only involves interventions below the shutdown threshold which cannot be changed by users. The SINAMICS G120 has the following thermal monitoring functions: ● i t monitoring The i t monitoring is used to protect components which have a long thermal time constant in comparison to the semiconductors.
  • Page 355 Functions 8.23 Power Module protection The time which expires up to shutdown is however not defined and depends on the magnitude of the overload. Only the warning threshold can be changed in order to obtain an earlier warning and, if required, externally intervene in the motor process (e.g. by reducing the load, lowering the ambient temperature).

    Functions 8.24 Open-loop and closed-loop control Note Contrary to closed-loop vector control, for the V/f open-loop control mode with FCC, it is not possible to specifically influence the motor torque. This is the reason that it isn’t always possible to avoid the motor stalling – even when using "V/f with FCC". An improvement in the stabilizing behavior and in the motor efficiency can be expected when using the closed-loop vector control when compared to V/f control with FCC.

  • Page 373 Functions 8.24 Open-loop and closed-loop control Note When compared to closed-loop control with encoder, the dynamic response for sensorless motors is significantly reduced. This is because the speed can only be derived from the inverter output quantities for current and voltage which have the appropriate noise level.
