Introduction 2-1
The AOP30 features a liquid crystal display (240 × 64 pixels) with backlighting for plain-text
display and a bar-type display for process variables. English, German, French, Spanish,
Italian and Chinese can be selected as the display languages.
The converter can also be parameterized on a standard PC with appropriate software
connected to the serial interface on the basic unit. This PC interface is used during start-up,
for maintenance during shutdown and for diagnosis in operation.
On 2-quadrant converters, a fully controlled three-phase bridge supplies the armature. On
4-quadrant converters, two fully controlled three-phase bridges are connected in an inverse-
parallel connection to allow both positive and negative armature current. For the field
converter, a single-phase, half-controlled 2-pulse bridge supplies the motor shunt field.
The armature and field converters can operate with AC line frequencies from 45–65 Hz. If
required for a specific application, the frequency of the armature and field AC supplies can be
different. The power section cooling system is monitored by means of temperature sensors.
The power section for the armature and field converters is constructed of isolated thyristor
modules for converters rated from 1500A to 2800A at 575V, 690V, 830V and 950V, 3-phase
AC line voltages. The heat sink in this case is electrically isolated and at ground potential.
The housing and terminal covers on power connections provide protection against
accidental contact for operators working in the vicinity. All connecting terminals are
accessible from the top.
All open and closed-loop drive control and communication functions are performed by
powerful microprocessors. Drive control functions are implemented in the software as
program modules that can be “wired up” and changed by parameters.
Overload capability
The rated DC current specified on the unit rating plate (maximum permissible continuous
DC current) may be exceeded in operation. The extent to which this value is exceeded and
how long this lasts are subject to certain limits. The absolute upper limit for the value of the
overload currents is 1.8x the rated DC current. The maximum overload duration depends on
the time characteristic of the overload current, as well as on the load history of the unit,
and also depends on the specific unit. Each overload must be preceded by an under load
(load phase with load current < rated DC current). Once the maximum permissible overload
duration has elapsed, the load current must return to at least an absolute value ≤ the rated
DC current. The SINAMICS DCM Base drive may be operated with five different overload
settings configured in the drive parameters.
