The SINAMICS G120 frequency converter is designed to provide precise and cost-effective speed/torque control of three-phase motors.

With different device versions (frame sizes FSA to FSG) in a power range from 0.37 kW to 250 kW, it is suitable for a wide variety of drive solutions.

Example: SINAMICS G120, frame sizes FSA, FSB and FSC; each with Power Module, CU240E‑2 F Control Unit and Basic Operator Panel BOP-2

Example: SINAMICS G120, frame sizes FSD, FSE, FSF and FSG; each with Power Module, CU240E‑2 F Control Unit and Intelligent Operator Panel IOP‑2

Operator-friendly design

SINAMICS G120 is a modular converter system that essentially comprises two function units:

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

The Control Unit controls and monitors the Power Module and the connected motor using several different closed-loop control types that can be selected. 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 250 kW. It features state-of-the-art IGBT technology with pulse-width-modulated motor voltage and selectable pulse frequency. Comprehensive protection functions provide a high degree of protection for the Power Module and the motor.

The Control Units can be combined with the following Power Modules:

CU230P‑2	✓	✓
CU240E‑2	✓	✓

Safety Integrated

SINAMICS G120 standard converters are available in different versions for safety-related applications. The PM240‑2 and PM250 Power Modules are already designed for Safety Integrated. A drive can be combined with a Control Unit with safety functions (see overview) in order to create a Safety Integrated drive. The availability of Safety Integrated functions depends on the type of Control Unit.

²⁾ SSM possible only for CU240E‑2 DP‑F / CU240E‑2 PN‑F Control Units with PROFIsafe.

³⁾ With license for Extended Safety functions.

Basic Safety functions (certified according to IEC 61508 SIL 2, and EN ISO 13849‑1 PL d and Category 3)

• Safe Torque Off (STO)
  to protect against active movement of the drive
• The PM240‑2 Power Modules, frame sizes FSD to FSG, offer additional terminals to achieve STO acc. to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and EN ISO 13489‑1 PL e and Category 3.
• Safe Stop 1 (SS1)
  for continuous monitoring of a safe braking ramp
• Safe Brake Control (SBC) is used to safely control a holding
  brake. When enabled, SBC is always activated at the same time as STO. The Safe Brake Relay is used for SBC.

Extended Safety functions (certified according to IEC 61508 SIL 2 and EN ISO 13849‑1 PL d and Category 3)

• Safely-Limited Speed (SLS)
  for protection against dangerous movements on exceeding a speed limit
• Safe Direction (SDI)
  This function ensures that the drive can only rotate in the selected direction.
• Safe Speed Monitor (SSM)
  This function signals if a drive operates below a specific speed/feed velocity.

Basic Safety and Extended Safety functions can be activated via PROFIsafe or by means of the safety inputs.

None of the safety functions require a motor encoder and they are thus cheaper and easier to implement. Existing systems in particular can be simply updated with safety technology without the need to change the motor or mechanical system.

The Safe Torque Off (STO) function can be used without restriction for all applications. The SS1, SLS, SSM and SDI functions are only permissible for applications where the load can never accelerate when the converter is switched off. They are therefore not permitted for applications involving pull-through loads such as hoisting gear and unwinders.

Further information can be found in the section Safety Integrated.

Efficient Infeed Technology

The innovative Efficient Infeed Technology is employed in PM250 Power Modules. This technology allows the energy produced by motors operating in generator mode connected to standard converters to be fed back into the supply system. For control cabinets, an additional temperature rise can be avoided and the amount of space required can be reduced due to the fact that components such as braking resistors, braking choppers and line reactors can be eliminated. Further, wiring and engineering costs are significantly reduced. At the same time, energy consumption can be reduced and ongoing operating costs noticeably reduced.

Innovative cooling concept and varnishing of electronic modules

The new cooling system and varnishing of the electronic modules significantly increases the service life or useful life of the device.

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

Energy efficiency

Integrated technologies help when optimizing the energy usage of the plant or system referred to the particular application:

• Energy-efficient vector control with or without sensors
• Automatic flux reduction with V/f ECO mode
• Integrated energy saving computer

Further information can be found in the section Energy efficiency.

• Modularity ensures flexibility for a drive concept that is fit for the future
  • Control Unit can be hot-swapped
  • Pluggable terminals
  • The modules can be easily replaced, which makes the system extremely service friendly
• The integrated safety functions significantly reduce the costs when integrating drives into safety-oriented machines or systems
• The PM240‑2 Power Modules, frame sizes FSD to FSG, offer additional terminals to achieve STO acc. to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and EN ISO 13489‑1 PL e and Category 3.
• Communications-capable via PROFINET or PROFIBUS with PROFIdrive Profile 4.0

  • Easy to handle
• Wireless commissioning, operation and diagnostics via mobile device or laptop thanks to the optional SINAMICS G120 Smart Access
• Connection to the Cloud MindSphere with the optionally available SINAMICS CONNECT 300 IoT Gateway
• The innovative circuit design (bidirectional input rectifier with “pared-down” DC link) allows the kinetic energy of a load to be fed back into the supply system when PM250 Power Modules are used. This feedback capability provides enormous potential for savings because generated energy no longer has to be converted into heat in a braking resistor
• Integrated USB interface for simplified, local commissioning and diagnostics
• With Control Unit CU230P‑2: Application-specific functions for pumps, fans and compressors
  Integrated are, e.g.:
  • 4 freely-programmable PID controllers

Selecting the Power Module

The optimum power unit can be quickly selected based on the required motor power, the supply voltage and the braking cycles to be expected. Power Modules in degree of protection IP20 are intended for installation in a control cabinet.

PM240‑2 Power Modules – degree of protection IP20

PM240‑2 Power Modules have an integrated braking chopper (four-quadrant applications) and are suitable for a large number of applications in general machinery construction.

PM250 Power Modules – degree of protection IP20

PM250 Power Modules are suitable for the same applications as the PM240‑2. Any braking energy is directly fed back into the line supply (four-quadrant applications – a braking resistor is not required).

The Power Modules can be combined with the following Control Units:

¹⁾ Rated power based on the rated output current I_rated. The rated output current I_rated is based on the duty cycle for low overload (LO). Low overload (LO) generally applies for applications with low dynamic response (continuous operation), quadratic torque characteristic with low break loose torque and low speed accuracy. Examples: Centrifugal pumps, radial/axial fans, rotary piston fans, radial compressors, vacuum pumps, chain conveyors, agitators. High overload (HO) generally applies for applications with increased dynamic response (cyclic operation) and constant torque characteristics with high break loose torque. Examples: Gear pumps, eccentric worm pumps, mills, mixers, crushers, lifting/lowering gear, centrifuges.

²⁾ The rated output current I_rated is based on the duty cycle for low overload (LO). These current values are applicable for 200 V, 400 V or 690 V.

³⁾ The PM240‑2 Power Module with Article No. 6SL3210-1PE11-8. L1 corresponds to 0.37 kW (0.5 hp) with duty cycle HO.

⁴⁾ The 690 V versions of the PM240‑2 Power Modules frame size FSG are only available with an integrated Category C3 filter. To also operate the converter within TN systems with grounded outer conductor, you must remove the grounding screw.

Line-side components

The following line-side components are available for SINAMICS G120 standard converters:

Line filter

With one of the additional line filters, the Power Module attains a higher radio interference class.

Line Harmonics Filter (only for PM240‑2 Power Modules, frame sizes FSD to FSG)

Using a Line Harmonics Filter makes for a substantial reduction in unwanted harmonics. In this way, a THD(I) value less than 5 % can be achieved and observance of the limit values according to IEC 61000‑3‑12, IEC 61000‑2‑2 and IEEE 519 is possible independently of the line impedance.

Line reactors
(for PM240‑2 Power Modules only)

Line reactors smooth the current drawn by the converter and thus reduce harmonic components in the line current. Through the reduction of the current harmonics, the thermal load on the power components in the rectifier and in the DC link capacitors is reduced as well as the harmonic effects on the supply. The use of a line reactor increases the service life of the converter.

A DC link reactor is integrated in the PM240‑2 Power Modules, frame sizes FSD to FSG, and therefore no line reactor is required.
No line reactor is provided for the PM250 Power Modules, nor may one be used.​

Recommended line-side overcurrent protection devices

Overcurrent protection devices are absolutely necessary for the operation of the converters. The tables listed in the section “Recommended line-side overcurrent protection devices” provide recommendations according to IEC and UL regulations, depending on the area of application. Recommendations on further overcurrent protection devices are available at:
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109486009

More information about the listed Siemens fuses is available in Catalog LV 10 as well as in the Industry Mall.

DC link components

The following DC link components are available for the SINAMICS G120 standard converters:

Braking resistors
(for PM240‑2 Power Modules only)

Excess energy in the DC link is dissipated in the braking resistor. The braking resistors are designed for use with PM240‑2 Power Modules. They are equipped with an integrated braking chopper (electronic switch).

For the electromagnetically compatible connection of an optionally connectable braking resistor, the corresponding shield connection kit is to be ordered for frame sizes FSD to FSG.

Load-side power components

The following load-side power components are available for the SINAMICS G120 standard converters. This means that during operation with output reactors or sine-wave filters, longer, shielded motor cables are possible and the motor service life can be extended:

Output reactors

Output reactors reduce the rate of voltage rise (dv/dt) and the height of the current peaks, and can allow longer motor cables to be connected.

Sine-wave filters
(not for PM240‑2 Power Modules)

Sine-wave filters limit the rate of voltage rise (dv/dt) and the peak voltages on the motor winding. Similar to an output reactor, they enable the connection of longer motor cables.

dv/dt filters plus VPL
(PM240‑2 Power Modules 400‑V and 690‑V versions only)

dv/dt filters plus voltage peak limiters limit the rate of voltage rise and the typical voltage peaks.

Machinery Directive

The converters are suitable for installation in machines. Compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC requires a separate certificate of conformity. This must be provided by the plant construction company or the organization marketing the machine.

EMC Directive

• EN 61800‑3
  Adjustable Speed Electrical Power Drive Systems
  Part 3: EMC product standard including specific test methods

The following information applies to SINAMICS G120 frequency converters from Siemens:

• The EMC product standard EN 61800-3 does not apply directly to a frequency converter but to a PDS (Power Drive System), which comprises the complete circuitry, motor and cables in addition to the converter.
• Frequency converters are normally only supplied to experts for installation in machines or systems. A frequency converter must, therefore, only be considered as a component which, on its own, is not subject to the EMC product standard EN 61800-3. The converter’s operating instructions, however, specify the conditions regarding compliance with the product standard if the frequency converter is expanded to become a PDS. For a PDS, the EMC Directive in the EU is complied with by observing the product standard EN 61800-3 for variable-speed electric drive systems. The frequency converters on their own do not generally require identification according to the EMC Directive.
• Different categories C1 to C4 have been defined in accordance with the environment of the PDS at the operating location:
  • Category C1: Drive systems for rated voltages < 1000 V for use in the first environment
  • Category C2: Stationary drive systems not connected by means of a plug connector for rated voltages < 1000 V. When used in the first environment, the system must be installed and commissioned by personnel familiar with EMC requirements. A warning note is required.
  • Category C3: Drive systems for rated voltages < 1000 V for exclusive use in the second environment. A warning note is required.
  • Category C4: Drive systems for rated voltages ≥ 1000 V or for rated currents ≥ 400 A or for use in complex systems in the second environment. An EMC plan must be created.
• The EMC product standard EN 61800‑3 also defines limit values for conducted interference and radiated interference for the “second environment” (= industrial power supply systems that do not supply households). These limit values are below the limit values of filter class A acc. to EN 55011. Unfiltered converters can be used in industrial environments as long as they are part of a system that contains line filters on the higher-level infeed side.
• With SINAMICS G120, Power Drive Systems (PDS) that fulfill the EMC product standard EN 61800-3 can be configured when observing the installation instructions in the product documentation.
• A differentiation must be made between the product standards for electrical drive systems (PDS) of the range of standards EN 61800 (of which Part 3 covers EMC topics) and the product standards for the devices/systems/machines, etc. This will probably not result in any changes in the practical use of frequency converters. Since frequency converters are always part of a PDS and these are part of a machine, the machine manufacturer must observe various standards depending on their type and environment (e.g. EN 61000‑3‑2 for line harmonics and EN 55011 for radio interference). The product standard for PDS on its own is, therefore, either insufficient or irrelevant.
• With respect to the compliance with limits for line supply harmonics, the EMC product standard EN 61800‑3 for PDS refers to compliance with the EN 61000‑3‑2 and EN 61000‑3‑12 standards.
• Regardless of the configuration with SINAMICS G120 and its components, the machine construction company (OEM) can also apply other measures to ensure that the machine complies with the EU EMC Directive. The EU EMC Directive is generally fulfilled when the relevant EMC product standards are observed. If they are not available, the generic standards (e.g. DIN EN 61000‑x‑x) can be used instead. It is important that the conducted and emitted interference at the line supply connection point and outside the machine remain below the relevant limit values. Any suitable technical measures can be applied to ensure this.

SEMI F47

SEMI F47 is an industry standard relating to the immunity to voltage dips. This includes the requirement that industrial equipment must be able to tolerate defined dips or drops of the line supply voltage. As a result, industrial equipment that fulfills this standard is more reliable and productive. In the SINAMICS G120 product family, the PM240-2 and PM250 Power Modules fulfill the latest SEMI F47‑0706 standard. In the case of a voltage dip, defined in accordance with SEMI F47‑0607, these drives either continue to supply a defined output current, or using an automatic restart function, continue to operate as expected.
