Drive Control Chart (DCC)

For complex applications that cannot be implemented with the free function blocks, the DCC
technology option is available. With DCC, a function diagram can be graphically created,
which comprises elementary function blocks that are connected with each other, and which
can then be loaded into the SINAMICS DC MASTER.
The following steps are required to implement an executable DCC control with the
SINAMICS DCM:
1. Installation of STARTER and a DCC license on the PC
2. Loading the DCC technology option on to the memory (ROM) in the drive unit.
3. Configure a DCC diagram on the PC (DCC editor)
4. Compile the DCC diagram on the PC and load it into the drive
Notes
● Detailed information on the function blocks is contained in the "SINAMICS SIMOTION
● Simultaneous use of the free function blocks and the DCC technology option are feasible.
● This additional functionality through DCC increases the CPU time load. That means the

Loading the DCC technology option into the drive unit memory

Loading the DCC technology option into the drive unit is usually performed with STARTER
and with the SINAMICS DCM takes about 7 min. During this process, the entire DCB library
with a scope of approx. 2 MB data is transferred to the drive.
To accelerate this process, the SINAMICS DCM supports an alternative option for
transferring the DCB library to the drive. With this method, the process is shortened to less
than 5 min:

DCC technology option into the memory of the drive unit (see Chapter "Loading the DCC
technology option in the drive unit memory"). If you attempt to load a DCC chart into the
drive, although the DCC technology option is not available in the drive, then the drive
signals a fault. To resolve this fault, you have the following options:
Now install the DCC technology option as described in Chapter "Loading the DCC
technology option into the memory of the drive unit". Then, carry out a POWER OFF /
ON. Now load the STARTER project together with the DCC chart into the drive.
Delete the DCC chart from the STARTER project and load the project into the drive
without DCC chart.
Restore the factory settings
Carry out a POWER OFF / ON.
