Inverter Control Using Digital Inputs - Siemens SINAMICS G120 Operating Instructions Manual

9.2.2

Inverter control using digital inputs

If you are controlling the inverter using digital inputs, you use parameter p0015 during basic
commissioning to define how the motor is switched on and off and how it is changed over
from clockwise to counter-clockwise rotation.
Five different methods are available for controlling the motor. Three of the five methods just
require two control commands (two-wire control). The other two methods require three
control commands (three-wire control).
