About this manual

Fundamental safety instructions 2
2.1 General safety instructions
WARNING
Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
• Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, the following six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for disconnection. Notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Isolate the drive system from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
switched back on again.
3. Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
4. Check that there is no voltage between any of the power connections, and between any
of the power connections and the protective conductor connection.
5. Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
6. Ensure that the motors cannot move.
7. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water. Switch the energy sources to a safe state.
8. Check that the correct drive system is completely locked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse
sequence.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and fire from supply networks with an excessively high impedance
Excessively low short-circuit currents can lead to the protective devices not tripping or
tripping too late, and thus causing electric shock or a fire.
• In the case of a conductor-conductor or conductor-ground short-circuit, ensure that the
short-circuit current at the point where the inverter is connected to the line supply at
least meets the minimum requirements for the response of the protective device used.
• You must use an additional residual-current device (RCD) if a conductor-ground short
circuit does not reach the short-circuit current required for the protective device to
respond. The required short-circuit current can be too low, especially for TT supply
systems.

Fundamental safety instructions
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and fire from supply networks with an excessively low impedance
Excessively high short-circuit currents can lead to the protective devices not being able to
interrupt these short-circuit currents and being destroyed, and thus causing electric shock
or a fire.
• Ensure that the prospective short-circuit current at the line terminal of the inverter does
not exceed the breaking capacity (SCCR or Icc) of the protective device used.
WARNING
Electric shock if there is no ground connection
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when
touched, can result in death or severe injury.
• Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.
WARNING
Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply
When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may
carry a hazardous voltage that might result in serious injury or death.
• Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV-
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.
WARNING
Electric shock due to equipment damage
Improper handling may cause damage to equipment. For damaged devices, hazardous
voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components; if touched, this can
result in death or severe injury.
• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
• Do not use any damaged devices.

WARNING
Electric shock due to unconnected cable shield
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
• As a minimum, connect cable shields and the conductors of power cables that are not
used (e.g. brake cores) at one end at the grounded housing potential.
WARNING
Arcing when a plug connection is opened during operation
Opening a plug connection when a system is operation can result in arcing that may cause
serious injury or death.
• Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a voltage-free state, unless it has
been explicitly stated that they can be opened in operation.
WARNING
Electric shock due to residual charges in power components
Because of the capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to 5 minutes after the
power supply has been switched off. Contact with live parts can result in death or serious
injury.
• Wait for 5 minutes before you check that the unit really is in a no-voltage condition and
start work.
NOTICE
Property damage due to loose power connections
Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in loose power connections. This can
result in damage due to fire, device defects or malfunctions.
• Tighten all power connections to the prescribed torque.
• Check all power connections at regular intervals, particularly after equipment has been
transported.

WARNING
Spread of fire from built-in devices
In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of
fire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
• Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are
protected against fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect
personnel.
• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.
WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to electromagnetic fields
Inverters generate electromagnetic fields (EMF) in operation. People with active implants in
the immediate vicinity of this equipment are at particular risk.
• As the operator of an EMF-emitting installation, assess the individual risks of persons
with active implants. The following clearances are usually adequate:
– No clearance to closed control cabinets and shielded MOTION-CONNECT supply
cables
– Forearm length (approx. 35 cm clearance) to distributed drive systems and open
control cabinets
WARNING
Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio devices or mobile phones
When radio devices or mobile phones with a transmission power > 1 W are used in the
immediate vicinity of components, they may cause the equipment to malfunction.
Malfunctions may impair the functional safety of machines and can therefore put people in
danger or lead to property damage.
• If you come closer than around 2 m to such components, switch off any radios or mobile
phones.
• Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support app" only on equipment that has already
been switched off.

NOTICE
Damage to motor insulation due to excessive voltages
When operated on systems with grounded line conductor or in the event of a ground fault in
the IT system, the motor insulation can be damaged by the higher voltage to ground. If you
use motors that have insulation that is not designed for operation with grounded line
conductors, you must perform the following measures:
• IT system: Use a ground fault monitor and eliminate the fault as quickly as possible.
• TN or TT systems with grounded line conductor: Use an isolating transformer on the line
side.
WARNING
Fire due to inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of components with subsequent
fire and smoke. This can cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in
increased downtime and reduced service lives for devices/systems.
• Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for
the respective component.
WARNING
Unrecognized dangers due to missing or illegible warning labels
Dangers might not be recognized if warning labels are missing or illegible. Unrecognized
dangers may cause accidents resulting in serious injury or death.
• Check that the warning labels are complete based on the documentation.
• Attach any missing warning labels to the components, where necessary in the national
language.
• Replace illegible warning labels.
NOTICE
Device damage caused by incorrect voltage/insulation tests
Incorrect voltage/insulation tests can damage the device.
• Before carrying out a voltage/insulation check of the system/machine, disconnect the
devices as all converters and motors have been subject to a high voltage test by the
manufacturer, and therefore it is not necessary to perform an additional test within the
system/machine.

WARNING
Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions
Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements that
may result in serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before
commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system,
including all safety-related components.
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted
and activated through appropriate parameterizing.
• Perform a function test.
• Only put your plant into live operation once you have guaranteed that the functions
relevant to safety are running correctly.
Note
Important safety notices for Safety Integrated functions
If you want to use Safety Integrated functions, you must observe the safety notices in the
Safety Integrated manuals.
WARNING
Malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameter settings
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in
turn can lead to injuries or death.
• Protect the parameterization (parameter assignments) against unauthorized access.
• Handle possible malfunctions by taking suitable measures, e.g. emergency stop or
emergency off.

2.2 Equipment damage due to electric fields or electrostatic discharge
2.2 Equipment damage due to electric fields or electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are individual components, integrated circuits, modules
or devices that may be damaged by either electric fields or electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE
Equipment damage due to electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions through damaged
individual components, integrated circuits, modules or devices.
• Only pack, store, transport and send electronic components, modules or devices in their
original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g conductive foam rubber of

4.4 Protective conductor
WARNING
Electric shock due to interrupted protective conductor
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Dimension the protective conductor as stipulated in the appropriate regulations.
Dimensioning the protective conductor

Observe the local regulations for protective conductors subject to an increased leakage
current at the installation site.
① Protective conductor for line feeder cables

② Protective conductor for inverter line feeder cables
③ Protective conductor between PE and the electrical cabinet
④ Protective conductor for motor feeder cables

Installation
The minimum cross-section of the protective conductor ① … ④ depends on the cross-

section of the line or motor feeder cable:
● Line or motor feeder cable ≤ 16 mm2
⇒ Minimum cross-section of the protective conductor = cross-section of the line or motor
feeder cable
● Line feeder cable = 16 mm² … 35 mm2
⇒ Minimum cross-section of the protective conductor = 16 mm2
● Line feeder cable> 35 mm2
⇒ Minimum cross-section of the protective conductor = ½ cross-section of the line or
motor feeder cable
Additional requirements placed on the protective conductor ①:
● For permanent connection, the protective conductor must fulfill at least one of the
following conditions:
– The protective conductor is routed so that it is protected against damage along its
complete length.
Cables routed inside electrical cabinets or enclosed machine housings are considered
to be adequately protected against mechanical damage.
– As a conductor of a multi-conductor cable, the protective conductor has a cross-
section ≥ 2.5 mm² Cu.
– For an individual conductor, the protective conductor has a cross-section ≥ 10 mm²
Cu.
– The protective conductor consists of two conductors with the same cross-section.
● When connecting a multi-conductor cable using an industrial plug connector according to
EN 60309, the protective conductor must have a cross-section of ≥ 2.5 mm² Cu.

4.6 Basic EMC Rules
Measures to limit Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Listed below are the necessary measures that must be taken to ensure the correct
installation of the Inverter within a system, which will minimize the effect of EMI.
Cables
● Keep all cable lengths to the minimum possible length; avoid excessive cable lengths.
● Route always signal and data cables, as well as their associated equipotential bonding
cables, in parallel and with as short a distance as possible.

Installation
4.7 Connections and interference suppression
● Don't route signal and data cables and line supply cables in parallel to motor cables.
● Signal and data cables and line supply cables should not cross motor cables; if crossing
is necessary, they should cross at an angle of 90 °.
● Shield signal and data cables.
● Route particularly sensitive signal cables, such as setpoint and actual value cables, with
optimum shield bonding at both ends and without any interruptions of the shield.
● Ground spare wires for signal and data cables at both ends.
● Route all power cables (line supply cables, as well as motor cables) separately from
signal and data cables. The minimum distance should be approximately 25 cm.
Exception: hybrid motor cables with integrated shielded temperature sensor and brake
control wires are allowed.
● Shield the power cable between inverter and motor. We recommend shielded cables with
symmetrical three-phase conductors (L1, L2, and L3) and an integrated, 3-wire, and
symmetrically arranged PE conductor.
Cable shields
● Use shielded cables with finely stranded braided shields. Foil shields are not suitable
since they are much less effective.
● Connect shields to the grounded housings at both ends with excellent electrical
conductivity and a large contact area.
● Bond the cable shields to the plug connectors of the inverter.
● Don't interrupt cable shields by intermediate terminals.
● In the case of both, the power cables and the signal and data cables, the cable shields
should be connected by means of suitable EMC shield clips or via electrically conductive
PG glands. These must connect the shields to the shield bonding options for cables and
the unit housing respectively with excellent electrical conductivity and a large contact
area.
● Use only metallic or metallized connector housings for shielded data cables (e. g.
PROFIBUS cables).
4.7 Connections and interference suppression

All connections should be made so that they are permanent. Screwed connections on
painted or anodized metal components must be made either by means of special contact
washers, which penetrate the isolating surface and establish a metallically conductive
contact, or by removing the isolating surface on the contact points.
Contactor coils, relays and the solenoid valves must have interference suppressors to
reduce high-frequency radiation when the contacts are opened (RC elements or varistors for
AC currentoperated coils, and freewheeling diodes for DC current-operated coils). The
interference suppressors must be connected directly on each coil.
No external suppression device is required for the motor holding brake.

Installation
4.8 Equipotential bonding
Grounding and high-frequency equipotential bonding measures

All electrical and mechanical drive components (transformer, motor and driven machine)
must be connected to the grounding system. These connections are established by means
of standard heavy-power PE cables, which do not need to have any special high-frequency
properties.
In addition to these connections, the inverter (as the source of the high-frequency
interference) and the motor must be interconnected with respect to the high-frequency point
of view:
● Use a shielded motor cable.
● Connect the cable shield both to the motor connector on the inverter and to the motor
terminal box.
● Use a short grounding connection from the PE terminal on the inverter to the metal frame.
The following figure illustrates all grounding and high-frequency equipotential bonding
measures using an example.

Installation
① From the transformer

② Second level distribution with PE equipotential bonding
③ Metal frame
④ Short connection from the PE terminal to the metal frame.
⑤ Electrical connection of motor cable shield and connector body.
⑥ Electrical connection of motor cable shield and motor terminal box via electrically conductive PG
gland.
⑦ Driven machine
⑧ Conventional grounding system.
• Standard, heavy-power PE conductors without special high-frequency properties.
• Ensures low frequency equipotential bonding as well as protection against injury.
⑨ Foundation ground

4.10 Branch circuit protection of multiple inverters

For installations with more than one inverter, the inverters are normally powered from a 400-
V power bus with a T distributor.
Figure 4-9 Power supply to an inverter group via a shared 400-V branch circuit
Calculation of the branch circuit protection according to IEC and UL standards

Calculation of the branch circuit protection:
● Add together the rated input currents of the inverter group.
● The sum of all rated input currents must be ≤ 24 A.
● Use one of the following protection devices for the inverter group:
– Fuse or circuit breaker with a rated current of 30 A
– Intrinsically safe circuit breaker with a rated current of 25 A
The branch circuit protection also depends on the following conditions:
● Type of cable routing
● Limit values of the cables and system components, e.g. the T distributor.
● Country-specific regulations
If it is precluded that all of the inverters of a group operate simultaneously, it is permissible to
form larger inverter groups on one 400-V branch circuit. The sum of the input currents of all
inverters must always be less than 24 A.

NOTICE
Material damage from inappropriate supply system Vt > 1%
Operating the converter on an inappropriate supply system can cause damage to the
converter and other loads.
• Only operate the converter on supply systems with Vt ≤ 1%.
Connectors
"Switched" and "unswitched" 24 V power supply

The unswitched 24 V power supply (1L+) is required for the device to function.
● Use a power supply with PELV (Protective Extra Low Voltage).
● For applications in USA and Canada: Use a power supply NEC Class 2.
● The 0 V of the power supply must be connected with low resistance to the PE of the
system.
The switched 24 V (2L+) supplies the two digital outputs. Switching brings all of the actuators
connected to the digital outputs into the no-voltage state.
If you don't need the switching of 2L+ power supply, then both the switched as well as the
non-switched 24 V may come from the same supply.

5.4 Reset Parameters to Factory Settings
Overview
With a factory reset via P0970 the initial state of the all the inverter parameters can be re-
established.
The factory setting values are designated as "Factory setting" in the Parameter Manual.
For further information, refer to the section "Factory Settings of the Control Unit" in this
manual.
Note
When resetting the parameters to the factory setting, the communications memory is re-
initialized. This means that communications are interrupted for the time it takes to perform
the reset.
WARNING
Parameter reset in case of CUs with fail-safe functions
Parameters that don't relate to fail-safe functions are reset with P0970 = 1.
To reset parameters that relate to fail-safe functions an additional parameter reset with
P0970 = 5 must be performed. This parameter reset is password protected.
In case of a parameter reset with P0970 = 5 an acceptance test necessary.

F07450 Standstill monitoring has respond- After the standstill monitoring time (p2543) has expired, the drive has left
ed the standstill window (p2542). Check whether the following is set correct-
ly:
• Position actual value inversion (p0410)
• Standstill window too small (p2542)?
• Standstill monitoring time too short (p2543)?
• Position loop gain too low (p2538)?
• Position loop gain too high (instability/oscillatory behavior, p2538)?
• Mechanical overload?
Other possible causes:
• Connecting cable, motor/drive inverter incorrect (phase missing, inter-
changed).
• When selecting motor identification, select tracking mode (BI:
p2655[0] = 1 signal).

Number Cause Remedy

F07451 Position monitoring has responded When the positioning monitoring time expired (p2545), the drive had still
not reached the positioning window (p2544). Check whether the following
is set correctly:
• Positioning window too small (p2544)?
• Positioning monitoring time too short (p2545)?
• Position loop gain too low (p2538)?
• Position loop gain too high (instability/oscillatory behavior, p2538)?
Another possible cause: Mechanical clamping.
F07452 Following error too high The difference between the position setpoint and the actual position value
(following error dynamic model, r2563) is higher than the tolerance
(p2546). Possible causes:
• The drive torque or accelerating capacity has been exceeded.
• Position measuring system fault.
• Position control sense is not correct.
• Mechanical system locked.
• Excessively high traversing velocity or excessively high position set-
point differences.
F07453 Position actual value processing Check the encoder for the actual position value processing.
error
A07454 Position actual value processing Check whether one of the following causes exists:
does not have a valid encoder
• An encoder is not assigned for the position actual value processing
(p2502 = 0).
• An encoder is assigned, but no encoder data set has been assigned
(p0187 = 99 or p0188 = 99 or p0189 = 99).
• An encoder and an encoder data set have been assigned, however,
the encoder data set does not contain any encoder data (p0400 = 0)
or invalid data (e.g. p0408 = 0).
A07455 Maximum velocity limited The maximum velocity (p2571) is too high to correctly calculate the modu-
lo correction. Remedy:
• Reduce the maximum velocity (p2571).
• Increase the sampling time for positioning (p0115[ 5]).
A07456 Setpoint velocity limited The actual setpoint velocity is greater than the parameterized maximum
velocity (p2571), and is therefore limited. Remedy:
• Check the entered setpoint velocity.
• Reduce the velocity override (CI: p2646).
• Increase the maximum velocity (p2571).

Number Cause Remedy

A07457 Combination of input signals is not An illegal combination of input signals, which are simultaneously set was
permissible detected, e.g.:
• Jog 1 and jog 2 (p2589, p2590).
• Jog 1 or jog 2 and direct setpoint input/MDI (p2589, p2590, p2647).
• Jog 1 or jog 2 and start referencing (p2589, p2590, p2595).
• Jog 1 or jog 2 and activate traversing task (p2589, p2590, p2631).
• Direct setpoint input/MDI and start referencing (p2647, p2595).
• Direct setpoint input/MDI and activate traversing task (p2647, p2631).
• Start referencing and activate traversing task (p2595, p2631).
F07458 Reference cam not found After starting the reference point approach, the axis has traversed
through the maximum permissible distance to search for the reference
cam without finding the reference cam. Remedy:
• Check the "reference cam" binector input (BI: p2612).
• Check the maximum permissible distance to the reference cam
(p2606).
• If axis does not have a reference cam, then set p2607 to 0.
F07459 No zero mark available After leaving the reference cam, the axis traversed through the maximum
permissible distance between the reference cam and zero mark without
finding the zero mark. Remedy:
• Check the encoder regarding the zero mark.
• Check the maximum permissible distance between the reference cam
and zero mark (p2609).
• Use an external encoder zero mark (p0494).
F07460 End of reference cam not found During the reference point approach, the axis, when approaching the zero
mark, has reached the end of the traversing range without identifying an

• Check the "fixed stop reached" control signal (p2637).
• Reduce the maximum following error window to detect the fixed stop
