Introduction

As a result of its functionality, range of power ratings and flexibility, for many years now
SIMOREG DC-MASTER has been an extremely successful product series. It has been used
for single and multi-motor applications for production machines, in general machinery
construction and in all industrial sectors.
After the discontinuation of SIMOREG DC-MASTER in February 2014, with our
SINAMICS DC MASTER as successor we are continuing the Siemens success story as
global market leader for DC converters.
Since 2010, with SINAMICS DCM 6RA80 we have a product series completely integrated in
the SINAMICS platform with extended modularity and functionality. For example, Drive
Control Chart (DCC) for graphically configuring and extending the device functionality using
freely available closed-loop control, arithmetic and logic blocks.

Motivation
Frequently, DC drives are being replaced by AC drives; however, many customers have high
regard for the advantages of DC technology
SINAMICS DC MASTER has been developed for this group of customers, and in turn the
proven technology of SIMOREG DC-MASTER integrated in the SINAMICS platform.
This modernization sends a clear signal to our customers: "Also in the future, Siemens will
place a lot of emphasis on DC technology!"
This document is intended to help customers better understand SINAMICS DC MASTER
and especially its new functions, therefore providing valuable support when transitioning to
our new generation of devices.

SINAMICS DC MASTER an overview of the

highlights

SINAMICS DC MASTER devices address all industrial applications involving low-voltage DC

drive technology. The open-design closed-loop control structure offers allows users to
optimally adapt the drive control to their particular requirements.
SINAMICS DC MASTER offers the following highlights:
UL certification (for all devices up to 575 V)
Marine certification
6 devices can be connected in parallel to increase the power rating and achieve
redundancy (n + m operation)
If a power unit fails, then the remaining functional SINAMICS DC MASTER devices
continue to operate without any interruption.
The power rating can be extended with engineered solutions, up to 60 kA and more in a
cabinet design (12 pulse)
Control Modules for retrofit drive projects and for high current rectifiers in electrochemical
applications up to 100 kA
Rated input voltages from 3 AC 50 V up to 950 V
Single-phase connection (110 V to 575 V AC) for devices up to 125 A
Extended temperature range for transport and storage (-40 C up to +70 C)
The DC motor insulation resistance can be measured without having to disconnect the
motor from the DC converter
SIMOREG CCP to protect against inverter commutation faults
Optimized cooling and service concept (optional, single-phase, quieter, integrated
operating hours counter)
The memory card can be used to save the project, update the firmware and for series
commissioning
Offline and online long-term traces
Field power supply that complies with requirements
Without field (for devices from 60 A rated armature current, with price reduction)
With 1Q field (up to 85 A rated field current)
With 2Q field and active current reduction, including field overvoltage protection (for
devices with 60 A rated armature current and above)
DCC for demanding closed-loop control tasks
Free function blocks the standard (no option S00)
Onboard encoder interfaces
Integrated electronics power supply for 24 V DC (option L05)

Commissioning SINAMICS DC MASTER using the

BOP20 operator panel
5.1

Preconditions
Fundamentals of SINAMICS
If you do not already know the fundamentals of SINAMICS (parameters, drive objects, BICO
technology etc.), then before starting commissioning, in the SINAMICS DCM operating
instructions in Chapter Operation read the "Fundamentals" section.
BOP20 basic operator panel
If you still do not know the BOP20 operator panel, before commissioning, in the SINAMICS
DCM operating instructions, in Chapter "Operation", read the section "Parameterizing using
the BOP20".
Parameter notation
A complete parameter comprises
drive object + parameter number + index the following notation
(oo)pxxxxx[ii]

for indexed parameters

(oo)pxxxxx

for non-indexed parameters

To improve readability, in this chapter, the drive object is omitted for all parameters
belonging to the drive object "Closed-loop drive control" (= drive object 2).
For example, p50076[1] means parameter (2)p50076[1] (= drive object 2, parameter 50076,
index 1).

Note
Parameter with [D] depend on a data set. Commissioning must be carried out for each data
set.

1Access authorization
In order to be able to set access authorization, at the BOP20 basic operator panel, drive
object 1 (DO1) must be activated; see the operating instructions of SINAMICS DCM,
Chapter 9, Section Display and operation using the BOP20 basic operator panel.
Access level

2Adapting the rated device currents

Note
For the base drives produced in North America (Type 6RA80xx-2xxxx), the US rating must
be adjusted at p50067.
The rated armature DC current for the unit must be adjusted by setting p50076[0] (in %) or
p50067 if:
Maximum armature current < 0.5 rated armature DC current for the unit
The rated field DC current for the unit must be adapted by setting p50076[1] (in %) if:
Maximum field current < 0.5 rated field DC current for the unit

5Speed actual value sensing data

5.1Operation with analog tachometer
p50083[D] = 1 The actual speed value comes from the "Main actual value" (r52013) channel
(terminals XT.103, XT.104).
p50741[D]

Tachometer voltage at maximum speed ( 270.00 to +270.00 V)

Remark:
The value set here defines 100% speed for the closed-loop speed control.

p2000

Speed in rpm for tachometer voltage set on p50741[0]

Comment 1:
Parameter p2000 is used to convert from a "physical speed" (rpm) into a
"relative speed" (%) and vice versa.
This conversion is required for:
Speed setpoint input via the operator panel in the STARTER
commissioning tool
Speed setpoint input via the operating screen form of the AOP30
advanced operator panel
Calculating the display values r020, r021, r060 and r063
Remark 2:
Parameter p2000 and parameters r020, r021, r060 and r063 are not data-set
dependent. This is the reason that the physical speed can only be displayed
correctly for one data set (DDS).

p2000

Speed in rpm for EMF set on p50115[0]

Comment 1:
Parameter p2000 is used to convert from a "physical speed" (rpm) into a
"relative speed" (%) and vice versa.
This conversion is required for:
Speed setpoint input via the operator panel in the STARTER
commissioning tool
Speed setpoint input via the operating screen form of the AOP30

Remark 2:
Parameter p2000 and parameters r020, r021, r060 and r063 are not data-set
dependent. This is the reason that the physical speed can only be displayed
correctly for one data set (DDS).

Comment 1:
Parameter p2000 is used to convert from a "physical speed" (rpm) into a

This conversion is required for:
Speed setpoint input via the operator panel in the STARTER

Remark 2:
Parameter p2000 and parameters r020, r021, r060 and r063 are not data-set
dependent. For that reason, the physical speed can only be displayed correctly for one data set (CDS).

6Field data
6.1Controlling the field
p50082 = 0

Internal field is not used

(e.g. for permanent-magnet motors)

p50082 = 1

The field is also switched with the line contactor

(the field pulses are energized de-energized simultaneously with the
line contactor)

p50082 = 2

The selected standstill field set using p50257 is automatically activated after
a time that can be parameterize using p50258 after operating state o7 or
higher is reached

p50082 = 3

Field current permanently switched on

6.2Field weakening
p50081 = 0

No speed or EMF-dependent field weakening

p50081 = 1

Field weakening operation using the internal EMF control, so that in the
field-weakening range, this means speeds above the rated motor speed
(= "Transition speed"), the motor EMF is kept constant at the setpoint
EMFset (r52289) = p50101 p50100 * p50110.

8Completing fast commissioning

Set p3900 = 3.
This triggers the calculation of the motor data (Ra, La, Lf) as well as the calculation of the
controller parameters resulting from the data that was entered in the previous steps.
p3900 is then set back to 0 and fast commissioning completed; this means that p0010 is
reset to 0.

9Executing the optimization runs

Perform the optimization runs one after the other:
p50051 = 24

Optimization of closed-loop field-current control

p50051 = 25

Optimization of closed-loop armature current control

p50051 = 26

Optimization of speed control

p50051 = 27

Optimizing the EMF control (including plotting the field characteristic)

p50051 = 28

Plotting the friction characteristic

p50051 = 29

Optimization of closed-loop speed control for drives with a mechanical system capable of oscillation

For more detailed information, refer to the SINAMICS DCM operating instructions, Chapter
"Drive optimization".
If an optimization run is not carried out, the motor control uses the motor characteristic
values calculated from the rating plate data rather than the measured values.

Commissioning SINAMICS DC MASTER using the BOP20 operator panel

5.2 Commissioning steps

DANGER
During optimization runs, the drive initiates motor movements that can reach the maximum
motor speed. The EMERGENCY OFF functions must be fully operational during
commissioning. To protect man and machines, the relevant safety regulations must be
observed.

10Checking and possibly finely calibrating the maximum speed

Once the optimization runs have been executed, the maximum speed needs to be checked
and, if necessary, the setting for it corrected.
If the maximum speed has now shifted by more than around 10%, the control response of
the closed-loop speed control circuit will need to be checked; it may be necessary to repeat
the optimization run for the speed controller or carry out re-optimization manually.
The optimization runs for field weakening and for friction and moment of inertia
compensation must be repeated if there is any change to the maximum speed.

11Checking the drive settings

The optimization runs do not produce the best results for every application, so in all cases it
is necessary to check the controller settings using the appropriate tools (oscilloscope,
STARTER trace, and so on). Some cases may require manual re-optimization.

12Manually (post) optimizing (if required)

If the result of the optimization runs is not satisfactory, then manual post or new optimization
can be performed.
The procedure is described in the operating instructions, in Chapter "Manual optimization".

13Saving the setting values in a non-volatile fashion

Previously, all changes in the set values were made in the RAM (Random Access Memory).
If the device is switched off in this state, all settings made previously are lost. To
permanently store the settings in the ROM (non-volatile memory), a RAM to ROM must be
triggered by setting p0977 to 1 (p0977 is allocated to the DO 1). While data is being saved,
the BOP20 flashes (and the RDY-LED on the CUD also flashes); this takes approx. 45 s.
After the save operation the settings are backed up in the ROM.
The drive can now be switched off (POWER OFF) without losing the settings that have been
made. Also refer to the "Operation" chapter, "CompactFlash Card functions" section.

14Documenting the setting values

The following facilities are available so that the settings made can be recorded outside the
unit:
External CompactFlash Card was inserted during the RAM to ROM (p0977=1). The
parameters were therefore also transferred to the external CompactFlash Card.
Write the parameters to a CompactFlash Card (p0804).
Document the parameters in a STARTER project (load to PG). Also refer to the
"Operation" chapter, "CompactFlash Card functions" section and "Commissioning with
the STARTER commissioning tool" chapter.
