PM250* Power Modules (With Class A Integrated Line Filter): See Page 72

*) The PM250 Power Module features an absolutely unique technology which we have called “Efficient Infeed Technology”. The innovative circuit design used in Efficient Infeed Technology reduces supply harmonics. There is no need to use an optional line reactor at the supply infeed. This saves space and costs for engineering and procurement.
The PM250 Power Module is also suitable for safety-oriented applications. In conjunction with a Fail-safe Control Unit, the drive can be turned into a Safety Integrated Drive (see Control Units). The permissible cable lengths between inverter and motor are limited. Longer cables can be used if output reactors are connected (see load-side power components).
For frame size FSC of Power Module PM250 with an integral line filter of class A, an additional base filter of class B is available for achieving class B (see line-side power components). The PM250 Power Modules with integrated class A line filter are suitable for connection to TN supply systems.

PM260* Power Modules (Without Integrated Line Filter & With Class A Integrated Line Filter): See Page 84

*) The PM260 Power Module features an absolutely unique technology which we have called “Efficient Infeed Technology”. The regenerative feedback capability of the PM260 Power Module in generating mode (electronic braking) means that energy is returned so the supply system and not destroyed in a braking resistor. This saves space in the control cabinet. The time-consuming dimensioning of the braking resistor as well as the wiring are eliminated. Generated heat is also reduced in the control cabinet. The innovative circuit design used in Efficient Infeed Technology reduces supply harmonics. There is no need to use an optional line reactor at the supply infeed. This saves space and costs for engineering and procurement.
The PM260 Power Modules are also characterized by a higher rated pulse frequency combined with outstanding efficiency and an integral sine-wave filter. The integral sine-wave filter ensures that the inverter output current is sinusoidal and supports cable lengths of up to 200 m shielded and 300 m unshielded. An output reactor is therefore not required. Furthermore, lower bearing currents and voltage stress are generated, which reduces stress on the motor. The incorporation of SiC free-wheeling diodes – an absolutely unique innovation – makes the PM260 Power Module extremely compact. It is also highly resistant to thermal loading and runs very quietly thanks to its high pulse frequencies. Standard motors can be used in conjunction with the PM260 Power Module. An increased dielectric strength of the winding system is not required. The PM260 Power Module is suitable for safety-oriented applications. In conjunction with a Fail-safe Control Unit, the drive can be turned into a Safety Integrated Drive (see Control Units). The PM260 Power Modules with integrated class A line filter are suitable for connection to TN supply systems. Power Modules without integrated line filter can be connected to grounded (TN,TT) and non-grounded (IT) supply systems

Modularity
SINAMICS G120 is a modular converter system comprising a variety of functional units. The two main units are

• The Control Unit (CU) and
• The Power Module (PM)

The Control Unit controls and monitors the Power Module and the connected motor in several different modes. It supports communication with a local or central controller and monitoring devices. The Power Module supplies the motor in the power range 0.37 kW to 132 kW (0.5 hp to 200 hp). The Power Module is controlled by a microprocessor in the Control Unit. It features state of-the-art IGBT technology with pulse-width-modulated motor voltage. It also features a range of protective functions offering a high degree of protection for the Power Module and motor.

• Basic Operator Panel (BOP) for parameterizing, diagnosing, controlling, and copying drive parameters
• Line filter, classes A and B
• Line reactors
• Braking resistors
• Output reactors

Safety Integrated
The SINAMICS G120 inverter chassis units are available in a number of different variants for safety-oriented applications. All Power Modules are already designed for Safety Integrated. A Safety Integrated Drive can be created by combining a Power Module with the relevant Fail-safe Control Unit. The SINAMICS G120 fail-safe frequency inverter provides four safety functions, certified in accordance with EN 954-1 Category 3 and IEC 61508 SIL 2:

• Safe Torque Off (STO) to protect against active movement of the drive
• Safe Stop 1 (SS1) for continuous monitoring of a safe braking ramp
• Safely Limited Speed (SLS) for protection against dangerous movements on exceeding a speed limit
• Safe Brake Control (SBC) for driving motor brakes which are active in the de-energized state, e.g. motor holding brakes. The functions “Safe Stop 1” and “Safely Limited Speed” can both be implemented without a motor sensor or encoder; the implementation cost is minimal. Existing plants in particular can be updated with safety technology without the need to change the motor or mechanical system. The safety functions “Safely Limited Speed” and “Safe Stop 1” are certified for asynchronous motors without encoders – these safety functions are not permitted for pull-through loads as in the case of lifting gear and winders.

Efficient Infeed Technology
The advanced Efficient Infeed Technology is employed in PM250 and PM260 Power Modules. This technology allows the energy produced by motors operating in generator mode on standard inverters to be fed back into the supply system. The control cabinet can be designed even more compactly thanks to the omission of extra cooling equipment and components such as braking resistors, brake choppers and line reactors. The time and expense involved in planning and wiring the system are significantly reduced. At the same time, considerable savings can be achieved in terms of energy consumption and operating costs.

Innovative cooling concept and paint finish of electronic modules
The new cooling system and the paint finish for the electronic modules significantly increase the service life or useful life of the device. These features are based on the following principles:

• Disposal of all heat losses via an external heat sink
• Electronic modules not located in air duct
• Standardized convection cooling of Control Unit
• All cooling air from the fan is directed through the heat sink

STARTER commissioning tool
The STARTER commissioning tool supports the commissioning and maintenance of SINAMICS G120 inverters. The operator guidance combined with comprehensive, user-friendly functions for the relevant drive solution allows you to commission the device quickly and easily.

4. Frequency converter ET 200S FC* Failsafe: ICU24F Control Unit & IPM25 Converter Power Modules: See Page 127

The frequency converter is completely integrated into the ET 200S system and offers all system advantages, such as high availability thanks to the hot swapping function, modular expansion, or reduction of the wiring overhead resulting from the self-assembling terminal module wiring.

• With self-assembling 50 A power bus, i.e. the load voltage is only supplied once for a group of frequency converters
• Comprehensive diagnostics facilities for high availability
• Input for motor encoder for precise speed control
• Input for PTC/KTY encoder for comprehensive motor protection
• Slot for optional memory card (MMC) to save the parameter settings for fast replacement of modules without tools
• All common control modes are available: Frequency control, sensorless vector control or torque control, closed-loop control with motor encoder
• Parameters are assigned using STARTER, the graphical parameterizing tool for Siemens drives, either via the connected fieldbus or via a point-to-point connection.
  Note: Access to the frequency converter via the bus is not possible using STARTER if there is a CPU between the PC and the frequency converter. This also applies to CPU IM 151-7.
• Active braking is possible without additional overhead. The line-commutated energy recovery of the frequency converter for the power supply network means that brake chopper modules or pulsed resistors are superfluous.

• Safe torque off torque (STO) to guard against any active movement of the operating mechanism
• Safely limited speed (SLS) to guard against danger from movements caused when a limit speed is exceeded
• Safe stop 1 (SS1, Safe Stop 1) for continuous monitoring of a safe brake ramp

Both the "Safe Stop 1" function and the "Safely Limited Speed" function operate without motor sensor or encoder; the implementation cost is minimal. Existing systems in particular can be retrofitted with safety technology without the motor or mechanics having to be modified.

The "Safely Limited Speed" and "Safe Stop 1" safety functions are certified for asynchronous motors without sensors – these safety functions are not approved for drawing loads such as lifting devices and unwinders.
