Permissible cable lengths, routing and shielding the PROFIBUS cable
Information can be found in the Internet

Recommended PROFIBUS connectors
We recommend connectors with the following order numbers for connecting the PROFIBUS
cable:
● 6GK1500-0FC00
● 6GK1500-0EA02
Both connectors are suitable for all SINAMICS G120 inverters with respect to the angle of
the outgoing cable.
Note
Communication with the controller, even when the supply voltage on the Power Module is
switched off
You will have to supply the Control Unit with 24 V DC on terminals 31 and 32 if you require
communication to take place with the controller when the line voltage is switched off.

Configuring communication to the control

The GSD is a description file for a PROFIBUS slave. You must import the GSD of the
converter into the PROFIBUS master - i.e. into your control system - in order to configure
communication between the control system and converter.
You have two options for obtaining the GSD of your converter:
1. You can find the SINAMICS converter GSD on the Internet
2. The GSD is saved in the converter. The GSD is written to the memory card if you insert
In Section Application Examples (Page 279) you will find an example showing how you can
connect the converter with its GSD to a SIMATIC control via PROFIBUS.

the memory card in the converter and set p0804 to 12. Using the memory card, you can
then transfer the GSD to your PG/your PC.
