Function Modules - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Function Manual

Function modules

A function module is a functional expansion of a drive project that can be activated during
commissioning.
Examples of function modules:
● Technology controller
● Extended setpoint channel
● Extended brake control
Function modules have their own parameters and, in some cases, also their own alarm and
fault messages. These parameters and messages are only displayed when the function
module is active. Please note when configuring, that an activated function module frequently
requires additional computing time.
Certain function modules require a purchased license, without which the converter cannot be
operated when the function module is selected.
Commissioning with STARTER
In the commissioning screens of STARTER, you can either directly or indirectly activate the
function modules (e.g. technology controller). When the basic positioner (EPOS) is activated,
for example, the position control is also automatically activated.
