Base Drive Panel Description - Siemens SINAMICS DCM Operating Instructions Manual

2 Introduction

2.1 Base Drive panel description

SINAMICS DCM Base Drive panels are complete drive assemblies ready to be installed into
an enclosure. Base Drive Panels are fully digital, compact units which supply the armature
and field of variable-speed DC motors with rated armature currents from 1500 Amps to
2800 Amps. The motor field circuit can be supplied with DC currents up to 40 Amps,
85 Amps (L85 Option) is available upon request on the 1500A – 2800A Base Drives
(Please consult with your Siemens Representative or send an e-mail to drives-marketing.
industry@siemens.com). Each Base Drive panel includes the following components and
factory installed converter options.
• 3-phase Armature Converter
• 1-phase Field Converter
• DC Output Contactors
• Protective Semiconductor Fuses (internal to the Converter)
• Control Power Transformer
• Power and Control Terminals
• Advanced CUD – G00 Option
• PROFINET, EtherNet/IP Communication CBE20 – G20 Option
• Micro Memory Card – S01 Option
• Three phase fan (460V AC) – standard on 1500A – 2800A Base Drives
Providing the Advanced CUD, provides several customer advantages.
• DRIVE-CLiQ connectivity allows for the connection of Terminal Modules (TM15, TM31,
TM150) plus the SMC30 Encoder Module. This gives the customers flexibility for future
expansion of additional Input/Outputs by simply adding DRIVE-CLiQ modules rather than
adding another Advanced CUD board to add additional Inputs/Outputs.
• Option Slot allows the CBE20 to be installed in the Advanced CUD. The CBE20 allows the
drive to utilize ProfiNet or Ethernet-IP communications. The CBE20 can alternatively be
used to provide high speed peer to peer communications with the drives.
2.2 General information
SINAMICS DCM converters are characterized by their compact, space-saving construction.
Their compact design makes them particularly easy to service and maintain since individual
components are readily accessible.
All SINAMICS DCM units are equipped with a BOP20 "Basic operator panel" mounted in the
converter cover. The BOP20 has a backlit two-line display area and 6 keys. It may be used to
acknowledge faults, set parameters and read diagnostic information.
The AOP30 optional advance operator panel can be mounted externally, e.g., in the cubicle
door. When mounted remotely, the AOP30 can be connected to the converter with cables
up to 50 meters (164 feet) in length. Cables up to 200 meters (600 feet) in length can be
used if a separate 24V DC power supply is available. The AOP30 connects to the SINAMICS
DCM through connector X178 using the RS485 interface. The AOP30 can be installed as
an economic alternative to conventional door mounted metering devices (i.e., voltmeters,
ammeters, and speed indicator).
