2.1
The five safety rules
For your personal safety and in order to prevent material damage it is essential that you
adhere to all the safety notices contained in your product documentation. Pay particular
attention to the safety notices on the product itself. When working on the equipment, always
observe the following five safety rules as defined by EN 50110-1 "Working in a voltage-free
state". Apply the five safety rules in the sequence stated before starting work.
Five safety rules
1. Disconnect the system.
Disconnect the auxiliary circuits, for example anti-condensation heating.
Wait until the capacitors have discharged.
2. Lockout to protect against reconnection.
3. Make sure that the equipment is de-energized and in a no-voltage condition.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Cover or enclose adjacent components that are still live.
When you have finished working on the equipment, apply the measures in reverse order.
DANGER
High voltages
Potentially fatal voltages occur when this equipment is in operation which can remain
present even after the inverter is switched off.
High voltages cause death, serious injury or material damage if the safety instructions are
not observed or if the equipment is handled improperly.
• Ensure that only qualified and authorized personnel perform work on the inverter.
• Always observe the five safety rules specified above whenever you are carrying out any
work on the device.
Safety information
2.2 Use of tested, certified and Siemens-approved components

2.2
Use of tested, certified and Siemens-approved components
Observe the following instructions if you would like to integrate your own components in the
system.
WARNING
Components which are not approved
It is dangerous to use components which are not tested, not certified and not approved by
Siemens. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
• Use only components which are tested, certified and approved by Siemens.

2.3 Areas that are potentially and particularly hazardous
Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007 15
2.3
Areas that are potentially and particularly hazardous
Certain areas in the inverter can represent a hazard during operation. The diagram highlights
these areas that represent a potential hazard.
Observe the following safety notices and comply with all rules and instructions.
①
Stopping the inverter via the display or by means of external control devices does not discon-
nect the inverter from the line voltage.
②
When you press the EMERGENCY OFF button, this does not mean that the converter is volt-
age-free immediately.
③
Danger due to hazardous voltages when the cabinet doors are open.
①
These voltages can remain due to self-excitation if the connection to the motor is not removed.
Some surfaces in the inverter are hot during operation and for some time afterwards. Fans in
the inverter can continue to rotate after the unit has been switched off.
⑤
After disconnection of the line voltage, hazardous voltages can persist in the DC link (with
current-source DC link converters: in the commutation capacitors) or from external or auxiliary
power sources after the converter has been disconnected from the line voltage.
Depending on parameter settings and connection of external control devices, the inverter can
start up automatically when the line voltage is connected.

16 Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007
WARNING
Live components
During operation and shortly after the system has been switched off with the EMERGENCY
OFF button, high voltages are still present in the converter and its components. These
voltages may remain if the connection to the motor is not removed or grounded. This
danger exists with permanent-magnet synchronous motors and synchronous motors which
are not de-excited immediately. These voltages may remain if the connection to the motor
is not removed or grounded. High voltages cause death or serious injury if the safety
instructions are not observed or if the equipment is handled improperly.
Never open the covers or doors when the system is in operation or while the DC link
capacitors are still discharging (in the case of current-source DC link inverters:
commutation capacitors). The DC link capacitors (commutation capacitors) can take up to
10 minutes to discharge (or 5 minutes with compact devices) after the EMERGENCY OFF
button is actuated.
WARNING
Automatic startup
Depending on parameter settings and connection of external control devices, the inverter
can start up automatically when the line voltage is connected. This can result in death,
serious injury or material damage.
Confirm whether or not your system is capable of automatic starting and, if appropriate,
take measures to ensure personal safety and operational readiness at the driven machine.

40 Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007
General information about electronic shutdown
Using the electronic shutdown concept of the inverter, a system without main contactor can
be shut down. This also applies to motors operating in Hazardous Zone 1. In the case of a
fault, the inverter electronically interrupts the power supply to the motor.
NOTICE
Malfunctions
If the inverter is used in safety-relevant applications with visible transport damage,
malfunctions and damage to property can occur.
• Do not use inverters with visible transport damage.
• Peripheral boards 2/3/4 with safety-related inputs and an ATEX motor temperature
monitoring must always be replaced using certified, original parts. Only replace parts
after prior consultation with the factory.
• Use the "Safe torque off" function of the inverter for induction and synchronous motors.
If two additional faults occur in the power section, for synchronous motors, this can
result in residual rotation. The residual rotation angle can be maximum 180°. Calculate
the residual rotation angle from 360° / number of poles n. Take into account residual
rotation in your design. This does not apply to induction motors.
WARNING
Shutdown only when safety circuits are opened
The inverter is only shut down with the "Safe torque off" function as long as shutdown is
initiated by opening the appropriate safety circuits. If the safety circuits are reclosed, safe
shutdown is no longer given; this applies, even if the inverter does not immediately restart.
Description
3.3 Accessories
Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007 41
Shutdown concept ATEX motor temperature monitoring
Principle of operation
Peripheral board 2 / 4 evaluates the motor temperature sensed using a PTC thermistor. The
board guarantees safety and reliability as a result of the integrated short-circuit detection and
sensor cable. Function "Safe torque off" of peripheral boards 3 / 4 and function "ATEX motor
temperature monitoring" utilize the same shutdown path:
Figure 3-1 Electronic shutdown concept
The inverter control processes the peripheral board signal. In the case of an excessively high
motor temperature or for the "Safe torque off" function, the inverter inhibits the IGBT firing
signals. The supply voltage for the driver stages is additionally switched off. These two
switch-off paths ensure that the power infeed to the motor is immediately interrupted. This
rules out any additional motor temperature rise or motor rotation. You can only reset the
inverter or switch it on again if the motor has cooled down sufficiently.
If the power fails, then the inverter safely interrupts the power infeed to the motor as firing
signals are no longer transferred. If a fault was active at the moment of power failure, the
inverter remains in a fault condition, also after power returns.

Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
42 Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007
Risk comparison
In order to rule out possible risks in advance, a risk analysis according to EN 1050 or
DIN EN ISO 14121 (draft standard) has been performed for the shutdown path. This analysis
concluded that the risk of loss of the shutdown function is small due to the redundant design
of the shutdown route and the use of reliable components. However, no general risk
assessment was performed as this is usually dependent on many customer-specific
parameters. This must be taken into account for the implementation and operation of a
system. In comparison to the shutdown using contactors, only the additional hazard die to
dangerous shock currents occurred in the converter.
Due to the redundant design, it is even achieved that the shutdown is still ensured even if a
fault in the electronic shutdown route occurs. As components proven in operation are also
used, the converter is in compliance with EN ISO 13849-1:2008, Category two.
WARNING
Danger of explosion in the case of deactivated shutdown
In principle, the shutdown function can be deactivated by connecting
an appropriate resistor
instead of the PTC thermistor to the control cable terminals.
3.3.2.3
"Safe torque off" with single circuit trip
The control cable terminals -X2:19, -X2:20 provide a safety-oriented input for safe torque off
to EN ISO 13849-1:2008 category three. This input safely prevents starting the machine.
Use this input, for example for safe shutdown in the case of servicing work on the machine.
When using the input, remove the jumper inserted between the control cable terminals
-X2:19, -X2:20.
The "Safe halt" function and the ATEX-certified PTC thermistor input have a redundant
switch-off path in the converter. The implementation is performed using hardware. A relay in
the power section of the converter disconnects the power supply of the IGBT drivers. A
second circuit, also via hardware, produces a controller block. Both switch-off paths are
based on the closed-circuit principle, i.e. a failure of the control voltage results in redundant
shutdown of the converter.
WARNING
Electric shock
If you carry out maintenance or overhaul work on the converter without safely disconnecting
the power supply, serious injury or death due to electric shock can occur. The input for
"Safe halt" is not an Emergency Off input which safely disconnects the converter or the
motor from the mains power supply.
Safely and reliably disconnect the power supply before opening covers or terminal boxes at
the converter. For example, use a main switch.

3.3.2.4
"Safe torque off" with two circuit version
In the inverter, you can also initiate the "Safe torque off" function using two safety circuits.
You must connect one circuit as NC contact at terminals -X2:19/:20 (just the same as for a
single-circuit trip). You must connect the second circuit as NC contact at terminals -X2:24/:3.
NOTICE
Malfunctions
Carefully ensure that the "Safe torque off" function in the inverter is configured for a two-
circuit trip.
3.3.2.5
Switchover, single circuit <-> two circuit tripping
The safety-related "Safe torque off" function in the inverter is purely based on a hardware-
related shutdown of the power section. The corresponding input circuits only act on the two
shutdown paths in the inverter via the hardware circuit.
NOTICE
Bail switch S3
Just bail switch S3 on peripheral board DI/DO determines whether the "Safe torque off"
function is initiated through one or two channels.
The software is not relevant for the safety analysis. It only serves to provide display and
information relating to the "Safe torque off" function. However, in order to commission the
inverter, you must appropriately set parameter "P-INVERTER DATA/STO".

Checking the "Safe halt" function
Procedure
Test the shutdown function for the operation of the "Safe torque off" function. Proceed as
follows:
1.
Check the setting of t
he bail switch S3 on peripheral board DI/DO:
•
open: for single-circuit trip
•
closed: for two-circuit trip
2.
Connect power to the inverter.
3.
Check parameter "P
-INVERTER DATA/STO":
•
"X2:20": for single-circuit trip
•
"X2:20/24": for two-circuit trip
4.
It i
s advantageous if you track the "Status" inverter actual value. You can either do this
in the display, if you parameterize this actual value temporarily in the 4th status line or in
the IMS, if you are connected with a PC.
5.
If required, enter the necess
ary switch-on commands so that the inverter is at least in
the ready state, i.e. is in the "Status
= Rdy.f.work".
The "READY" LED is lit.
6.
(Simultaneously) open the safety circuit(s), that is/are connected as follows:
•
For single-circuit trip at -X2:19/:20.
•
For a two-circuit trip, additionally at –X2:24/:3
The inverter switches into the "Switch interlock" status, LED "READY" goes dark.
The "Safe torque off" "active" message is displayed.
7.
By pressing "RESET", attempt to exit the state.
It is not permis
sible that the inverter exits the "Switch interlock" state.
The message "Safe torque off" "active" must remain active.
8.
Connect the safety circuit(s) at
–X2:19/:20 and possibly at –X2:24/:3.
The inverter initially stays in the "Switch interlock" state;
however, the display changes
to "!! OFF2 !!" After STO act.".

•
"Store"
The inverter remains in the "Switch interlock" state with the display
"!! OFF2 !!" "After STO act.".
Press the "RESET" of the inverter.
The inverter exits the "Switch interlock" state.
•
"Auto.reset"
The inverter automatically exits the "Switch interlock" state.
The inverter starts to test both shutdown paths, display "Test safe torque off" "running"
-
assuming
that the required conditions are satisfied. This means that terminal -
X2:8 must
be controlled
- and if a line contactor is being used - this line contactor must be closed.
If the required conditions are still not available, then the inverter waits until t
he appropri-
ate conditions are available, then performs the test before the inverter is switched on.
The test takes several seconds.
10.
If the test is successfully completed, then the inverter is again in the initial state.
If the test results in a fault,
then the inverter changes into the "Fault" status. The
"FAULT" LED lights up, and the display changes to "!!
Inverter fault !!" "Test safe torque
off".
In this case, it is crucial that you contact the factory.
Additional test if you use a single-circuit trip:
11.
Open terminal input X2:24 if a signal is connected.
The inverter either does not display a response, or it may only display a response that is
parameterized for input X2:24, independent of the "Safe torque off" function.
It is not permissible th
at it changes into the "Fault" state with the following displays:
•
"!! Fault !!" "Safe torque off trig".
•
"!! Inverter !!" "Test safe torque off".
•
"!! Fault !!" "S7 inactive".
In cases such as these, check the setting. Either switch S3 and/or the parameters
are
set to the two-circuit trip.
Additional test if you use a two-circuit trip:
12.
Only open the safety circuit at X2:24/:3.
The inverter changes into the "Fault" state. The "FAULT" LED lights up.
The display changes to "!! Fault !!" "Safe torque off trig".
13.
Reconnect the safety circuit to X2:24/:3
- and acknowledge the fault.
The inverter tests the shutdown paths according to step 9. and 10.
14.
Only open the safety circuit at X2:19/:20.
The inverter changes into the "Fault" state. The "FAULT" LED
lights up.
The display changes to "!! Fault !!" "Safe torque off trig".
15.
Reconnect the safety circuit at X2:19/:20
- and acknowledge the fault.
The inverter changes into the "Switch interlock" state. The inverter displays message "!!

PTC inputs for motor PTC thermistor
The peripheral boards 2 / 4 provide two PTC thermistor inputs at the control cable terminals
-X3:90-93 for the motor temperature monitoring. When using the inputs, remove the 100 Ω
resistor connected there.
Peripheral board 1 and peripheral board 3 have control cable terminals for the PTC inputs.
However, there is no evaluation board. No monitoring is made if you connect PTC
thermistors.
Description
3.3 Accessories
Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
48 Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007
Test the PTC thermistors as described below. Consult the factory if the shutdown does not
function.
Inverters without a peripheral board provide PTC thermistor inputs at control cable terminals
-X2:27-28. If the peripheral board 2 or 4 is fitted, connect the PTC thermistors of the motor to
control cable terminal -X3.
This has the following advantages:
● Sensor short-circuit monitoring
● Protective separation of the PTC thermistor inputs from all other inputs up to a rated
voltage of 690 V. The control cable terminals -X2:27/28 provide protective separation
from the electronics, but no separation from the other inputs.
● Input -X3:90-91 is ATEX-certified according to PTB 07 ATEX 3057 for motors located in
hazardous zones.
● Redundant shutdown route, realized using hardware.
Checking the PTC thermistor shutdown function
Test the shutdown function before commissioning the board. Proceed as follows:
1. Replace the 100 Ω resistor at control cable terminals -X3:90/91 with a potentiometer with
at least 10 kΩ. Set a value of approx. 100 Ω.
2. Ensure that 24 V is applied at control cable terminal -X2:8. When required, jumper -X2:8
and -X2:3.
3. Connect power to the inverter so that the "READY" LED on the display lights up.
4. Increase the resistance at the potentiometer. The converter must go to "FAULT" at the
latest for 3,8 kΩ:
– LED "READY" goes dark.
– The red "FAULT" LED is lit.
– The inverter displays fault message "!!Fault!! PTC thermistor -X3:90/91".
5. From this time, the converter cannot be switched on by pressing the <On> button on the
display.
6. Acknowledge the error, e.g. using the <S+I> buttons on the display. The converter checks
both the redundant shutdown routes for the acknowledgement.
– If the converter returns to "READY" after the acknowledgement and does not display
any errors, the test has been completed successfully.
– If the inverter remains in the "FAULT" condition and in the display "!!Inverter
fault!! Test PTC -X3:90/91" then one of the shutdown paths is not functioning
correctly. In this case, please contact the factory.
7. If the converter is ready again, then rotate the potentiometer towards 0 Ω. At the latest at
a resistance of 15 Ω the short-circuit monitoring of the sensor circuit responds. Follow the
description under points four and five.
8. The safety function is checked automatically when the control voltage of the converter
returns and when the error is acknowledged after a test.

3.3.3
Brake transistor and brake resistor
During motor operation the electrical power flow is from the inverter to the motor. During
generator operation the electrical power flow is from the motor to the inverter.
Example: braking flywheels.
The DC link current reverses the direction. The standard version of the inverter cannot feed
energy back into the system. Kinetic energy can be converted into dissipated heat in braking
operation. Approx. 10% braking torque is available in the upper speed range. A braking
torque of up to 50% without additional equipment is achieved in the medium and lower
speed ranges by oversaturation of the motor. With the brake transistor accessory, the same
braking as driving torque is available. The energy occurring is converted to heat using a
pulsed transistor. Also connect an external brake resistor.
WARNING
Risk of fire
If the clearance between the resistors and the neighboring components is selected too
small, fire can occur due to overheating. This can result in death, serious injury or material
damage.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 200 mm.
3.3.3.1
Dimensioning the brake resistor
Select a resistance value of at least that stated in the technical data. This value corresponds
to the minimum configurable value. The maximum value is calculated from the following
equation:
R = (1.57 × Umains)² / Pbrake
3.3.3.2
Connecting the brake resistor
1. Using the device designation on the rating plate of the device, check whether you have a
device with the "brake resistor" option. The designation must be ...2T..-.....-...B....
For more detailed information, refer to section "Type designations" (Page 31).
2. Connect the external braking resistor at terminals -X1:R and -X1:UD2+.
3. Use shielded cables with concentric protective conductor or shielded cables to connect
the brake resistor. Connect the shield where the cable enters the inverter.
4. Set the parameter "P-INVERTER DATA/Brake" to "On".
5. Set the rated output of the resistor under "/P-BrakeRes." and the resistance value under
"/R-BrakeRes.". In this way, you prevent overloading of the resistor.

Main switch "Q 2T..." or "W 2T..."
Inverters can optionally be purchased with a main switch as switch disconnector. The
manual operation of the switch is on the inside for the "W" version. The switch is strictly a
maintenance switch. The switch can only be operated when the corresponding covers for
compact units or doors for cabinet units are opened.
The switch can be manually operated from the outside for the "Q" version. The handle can
be blocked in the zero position with up to three padlocks. The switch is thus protected
against being switched on again. The padlocks are not included in the delivery.
For this option, the following dimensions are produced for the individual frame sizes:

CAUTION
Serious injury and material damage caused by arcs
If the mains power supply cable is not properly connected to the main switch for the "Q" /
"W" option, destruction due to arcs can occur. Connect the mains power supply line to the
main switch properly. Follow the connection instructions supplied by the manufacturer of
the main switch The instructions can be found in the unit or inside the door in the cabinet

DC link terminals for compact devices
Features
The DC link terminals –X1:UD+2 and –X1:UD-2 are generally available for the small inverters
up to 2T2A07400-030 for 400 V or, up to 2T2A07500-037 for500 V. These are optionally
available for all larger inverters. The inverters only have to be connected using the DC link if
you would like to establish a DC network. Only implement the DC network if you would like
generator operation with one drive.
Example: Test station with load apparatus. In this case only the losses are supplied via the
network. The generated energy is routed via the DC link. Refer to the following graphic for
the electrical design:

Please observe the following:
● Inverter 1 and Inverter 2 must be the same type.
● Connect both inverters to the mains power using a common supply line.
● Operate the mains power feed-in current of each inverter at maximum 75% of the rated
current.
● The mains power supply connection cables from –K1:2, 4, 6 to both inverters must be the
same length and have the same cross-section.
● You can use a normal cable to connect the DC link, e.g. H07VK in the cabinet, or NYY
outside the cabinet.
Description
3.3 Accessories
Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
54 Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007
● Design the cross section according to the current load.
– DC link current = 1.3xmains current.
– Lay both lines parallel with as small as possible distance from each other.
– Bind the H07VK cables together using cable ties.
● For both inverters, change the parameter "P-INVERTER DATA/Brake"from "Off" to "R-
Supply".
– Use a braking device if the overall drive for braking flywheels can generate electricity
for both inverters.
– In this case, configure the inverter with brake resistor to "On".
NOTICE
Destruction of the inverters
If you use one of the following configurations without consulting the factory, the
inverter can be destroyed:
• Two different inverters
• More than two inverters
• More than 75% mains power feed
• Only one mains power connection.
• DC network for cabinet units.
Check the design with DC network exactly. Consult the factory for this.

RFI suppression filter, category C1 (class B)
Use an RFI suppression filter, category C1 (class B), in the inverters if necessary. For more
detailed information, refer to section "EMC" (Page 75).
From the unit designation you can identify whether you have a unit with the option RFI
suppression filter category C1 (class B). In this case, the rating plate is stamped as follows
".2...-.....-....B....".
Refer to section "Type designations" (Page 31) for more detailed information.
The dimensions are unchanged for compact devices. The dimensions of cabinet units
increase if an RFI suppression filter category C1 (class B) is installed. Additional data is
provided in the unit documentation.

Sine-wave filter
Note the following information for the operation of a sine-wave filter
A sine-wave filter is available as an option for the motor power supply.
It must be noted that sine-wave filters are only designed for the nominal clock frequency.
Therefore the parameter "f-pulse min" under "P-INVERTER DATA" must always be set to the
nominal clock frequency.
NOTICE
Overheating of the sine-wave filter
If the clock frequency drops to below the nominal clock frequency of the sine-wave filter,
the filter can overheat. The equipment will be damaged as a result.
For this reason, the parameter "f-pulse min" under "P-INVERTER DATA" must always be
set to the nominal clock frequency.
3.3.13
Additional mains power protection chokes
You can expand a inverter with an additional mains power protection choke. Use an
additional choke if the input side mains power shows a large unbalanced load due to
different voltage on L1, L2 and L3 or if the mains power or if the mains power already has
harmonics. In this case, please contact the Service Center.

Material damage can occur if the water cooling is exposed to frost without being
drained.
Drain the system in order to avoid damage. Disconnect the hoses from the connection
points. Proceed as described for the venting. For complete purging, blow compressed
air into the supply hose while the venting valve is closed until no more water exits.
The water cooling system is drained before the inverters are shipped by the manufacturer.
3.3.16.6
Cooling water additives for the closed inverter cooling with cooling unit (optional)
Use a cooling water additive for the closed cooling system of the inverter.
Siemens recommends the agent "Antifrogen N" made by Clariant as a cooling water
additive. The concentration of this additive can be adjusted to provide the required level of
frost protection.
A minimum concentration of 20 % by volume provides anti-freeze protection down to -10 °C.
An Antifrogen / water mixture of 1:2 provides anti-freeze protection down to -20 °C.
Unpolluted water mixed with a minimum concentration of 20 % by volume Antifrogen N
prevents the growth of microorganisms and the formation of algae.
If you need more detailed information and recommendations regarding cooling water
additives, please refer to your order-specific inverter documentation. For further information,
please refer to document 4BS0698.

EMC
4.3.1
Install and connect in accordance with EMC.
Note the following rules regarding the installation and connection of inverters:
● Connect the cable shield over a wide area and with low inductance. Placing the shield
over bundles of wires has practically no shield effect.
● If you also want to use the shield as PE conductor, connect the shield doubled.
– Use a low-inductance and wide area shield at the cable entry for EMC reasons.
– Use a plait on the PE rail as a protective measure.
● For signal lines with Sub-D male or female connector, place the shield over the Sub-D
connector or socket. Where relevant, also connect the shield at the cable entry.
● Install cables in such a way that there are no crossovers between control cables and
power cables. If you cannot prevent a crossover on the cable ducts, then make the
crossover at an angle of 90°.
● Ensure that all metallic parts of the switch cabinet are surface-connected with good
conductivity. Connections with paint layer are not permitted.
– Use contact disks or galvanized plates.
– When connecting the switch cabinet door to the switch cabinet, use grounding straps
that are as short as possible
● Connect all circuit breakers, relays, solenoid valves etc. in the switch cabinet to RC
interference suppressors.
– Do not use any diodes or varistors.
– Install the protective circuit directly on the relevant coil.

Realizing operation in the explosion-protected zone
Converters in hazardous zones
WARNING
Explosion hazard
If you operate the converter in hazardous zones, explosions can occur which cause
property damage, serious injuries or death. Only operate the converter in safe, non-
hazardous areas.
Motor in the Ex-Zone
Motors connected to the converter can be operated in the hazardous zone. Also observe the
following conditions:
● Ensure that the motor is approved for converter operation and that it has a corresponding
rating plate for converter operation.
● Ensure that the motor is approved for the Ex-Zone. Also check the motor rating plate.
● Ensure that the motors are equipped with PTC sensors according to DIN 44081 or
DIN 44082 as well as IEC 60034-11-2 Type A (EN 60947-8 and VDE 0660-303). Connect
these PTC thermistors to the peripheral board -X3:90 to 94. This is how you protect the
motor against an inadmissible temperature rise due to overload according to
DIN EN 60079-14/ VDE 0165-1 and EN 50281-1-1 (dust EX).
● Observe the safety regulations for use concerning motors in the Ex-Zones e or d.
Directives 94/9/EG and EN 60079-14 regulate this use.
● Ensure that the motor is now only operated in the intended speed control range. Under
"P-MOTOR DATA" and "P-DRIVE DATA" enter the values stated on the motor rating
plate for "fmin" and "fmax".
Preparations for use
4.4 Realizing operation in the explosion-protected zone
Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007 81
● Do not exceed the maximum motor cable length, otherwise impermissible voltage
increases can occur. For more detailed information, refer to the section titled "Motor
connection" (Page 98).
● Ensure that Ex e-motors are tested for increased safety together with the converter at the
manufacturer's factory. The system must not be operated without the test report.
● In the case of Ex e and Ex n motors, set the values for "I contin.", "I short" and "t short" to
the values stated by the manufacturer. Do not change these values again without
consulting the motor manufacturer.
● Protect converter-fed motors in the hazardous zones using PTC thermistors. An
evaluation circuit for the motor PTC thermistor is integrated in the "peripheral board 2 / 4"
option for this. More detailed information can be found in the section "Peripheral boards 1
to 4" (Page 37). The converter is electronically shutdown.
Safety during shutdown
The risk analysis according to EN 1050 or DIN EN ISO 14121 (draft standard) showed that in
comparison to the shutdown using contactors, only the additional hazard due to dangerous
shock currents occurred in the converter.
Due to the redundant design of the electronic shutdown route, it is achieved that the
shutdown is still ensured even if a fault in the electronic shutdown route itself occurs.
As components proven in operation are used, the converter is in compliance with
EN ISO 13849-1:2008, Category two.
● If you do not use this electronic shutdown, the motor PTC thermistors must be routed via
ATEX-certified thermistor evaluation units, e.g. CALOMAT® CK140 … CK145.
● If you use CALOMAT® devices, you must use a line contactor on the input side.
– In this case, loop the contact of the CALOMAT® directly into the coil circuit of the line
contactor.
● Otherwise, perform the wiring of the line contactor according to the description of the
main contactor function in section "Contactor functions" (Page 156).

NOTICE
Destruction due to nonsymmetrical current distribution
In the case of high pulsing inverters, destruction of the rectifier can occur due to
nonsymmetrical current distribution. Pay attention to symmetrical current distribution.
Use the same cable types and lengths as well as the same connection technology for
every mains power connection. Route all cables on the same or a comparable route so
that the cable temperatures are the same.
6.5.5
Inverter connection for different pulse operation
Inverters with higher pulsed inputs are available for higher outputs from approx. 500 kW as
they cause smaller circuit feedback on the mains power supply.
Connect the inverter to the mains power supply depending on the pulse operation:

Adjusting the line voltage at the inverter
The inverters are suitable for different supply voltages: If your device is different from the
respective nominal line voltages of 400 V, 500 V or 690 V, you must adjust the line voltage at
the inverter.
1. Set the parameter "P-INVERTER DATA/V mains nom." to your line voltage.
2. Set the line voltage on the device:
– No adjustment is necessary for compact units with a width of 165 mm or 225 mm.
– In the case of compact units with a width of 350 mm or 500 mm, you reconnect the
jumpers according to the following table:

Motor selection
Three-phase asynchronous motors or three-phase synchronous motors can be used for your
inverter. The use of several motors simultaneously is permitted.
● The total of the motor outputs must not exceed the inverter output. You may operate
smaller and larger motors in parallel on one inverter.
● Take into account during the motor dimensioning that additional losses in the motor are
produced by the non-sine shaped motor current.
● Note that a motor without external ventilation will be cooled less at speeds less than the
rated speed. Therefore, consult the motor manufacturer for the dimensioning of the
motor.
● When using Siemens motors, refer to the list "UN03/UN04 Drehstrommotoren für
drehzahlverstellbare Antriebe" to find the relevant inverter output.

Coil load
Note
Voltage increases due to switching flanks
The switching flanks in the voltage produced by the inverter also load the motor insulation.
Excess voltages occur.
If you observe the instructions in this section, voltage peaks at the motor of more than 1,560
V do not occur. Motors which are dimensioned for inverter operation therefore do not cause
any problems. If you would like to connect older motors or motors which are not suitable for
inverter operation, please consult the motor manufacturer.
Pay attention to the exact compliance with the peak voltage in the motor for explosion-
protected motors.
6.6.3
Motor voltage and type of circuit
Operate the motor as "star" or "delta" type of circuit according to the parameterization of the
inverter.
In most cases, the parameterized motor voltage on the inverter is identical to the mains
voltage. Check the parameter "P-MOTOR DATA/V-motor".

Dimensioning motor cables
● Voltage load
Use cables with at least U0/U = 0.6 kV/1 kV.
● Current load
– Dimension the cable cross section according to the applicable standards, e.g.
VDE 0298.
– Determine the current of the motor cable according to the converter output current,
which you can find on the rating plate.
● Use shielded mains power cables or cables with concentric protective earth conductor,
type NYCWY, in order to comply with EMC directives.
● For multi-system devices, connect the same number of motor cables at each system.
Note the information in section "Correct EMC installation and connection" (Page 75).
WARNING
Capacitive leakage currents
An increased current can flow in the motor cable shield as a result of capacitive leakage
currents. This can cause the cable to overheat. This can result in death, serious injury or
material damage.
Use a shield cross section that is, as a minimum, half the line conductor cross-section: For
a thinner shield or for a shield manufactured out of steel braiding, route a PE conductor,
which, as a minimum, is half of the line conductor cross-section in parallel with the motor
cable.
6.6.5
Dimensioning maximum motor cable length
The maximum cable length is determined by the following factors:
● Peak voltage at the motor
– All converters are equipped with a du/dt filter. The filter limits the voltage increase time
on the motor to > 0.5 µs.
– A motor peak voltage of 1,560 V is maintained for the maximum cable lengths stated
in the table.
● Inverter load
– The capacitive load of the inverter increase with increasing cable length and/or
increasing number of parallel cables.
– The parameterizable inverter clock frequency influences the converter load. If you
configure the minimum possible clock frequency , the inverter load then reduces so
that a larger cable length can be connected.

The data in the table specifies the typical cable length in the sense of the distance between
the motor and the converter when parameterizing the standard clock cycle frequency. Larger
distances are also possible for individual types. Contact the factory for precise values if you
are in the limit range or if there is a long distance between the motor and converter.
NOTICE
Damage to the converter output filter
If you lay too many wires in parallel for the motor cable, the capacitive current in the motor
cable can increase unacceptably and destroy the converter output filter. In the case of
operation with several motors or parallel wiring of motor cables, the maximum possible
distance between converter and motor is reduced. Cabinet units are suitable for wiring in
parallel. Contact the factory for the precise values. Reduce the number of parallel wires to
permissible values.

If you exceed the maximum motor cable length, this can destroy the motor or the converter
output filter. Consult the factory for longer motor cables.
NOTICE
Winding or bearing damage
If you use motors which are not designed for converter operation, premature winding or
bearing damage can occur. Consult the motor manufacturer to find out whether the motor is
suitable for converter operation. Please bear in mind that IEC 60034-17 is applicable to
motors that are designed for line operation but are operated with a converter. Smaller
values for the peak voltage apply here. Dimension the cable lengths after consultation with
the manufacturer.

● If peripheral board 2 / 4 is installed, connect the PTC thermistor to terminals 90 to 94 of
control cable terminal block -X3. For additional information, refer to the description of the
accessories.
Note
Interference signals in PTC thermistor cables
If you lay sensor cables next to power cables, interference signals can be transmitted in
the sensor cables. Lay sensor cables separated from the motor power cables. Use
shielded cables in the case of
stronger inductive or capacitive input couplings. Observe
the minimum cross section of the PTC thermistor cable in the

Checking with motor coupled to the work machine
Perform the following tests with the driven machine.
The measurement should be taken at the highest possible output frequency and load.
Consult the factory fin the case of large difference.
Symmetry of mains and motor current
1. Measure the mains current and the motor current using a current clamp meter. The
measured value deviates from the displayed value on the screen depending on the type
and quality of the current clamp meter.
2. Ensure that the same current flows in all three mains power phases with a maximum
deviation of 5% of the inverter rated current. You thus detect whether damaging
imbalance of the mains voltage is present.
3. The same applies in all motor phases with a maximum deviation of 2%. In the case of
cables laid in parallel, also check the current distribution to the individual conductors.
Here, you recognize insufficiently clamped connections and also damage to the motor.
Checking load-dependent measured values
● Check the motor current with the couple work machine.
● Check whether the motor current on the display in stationary operation, i.e. without
acceleration or braking, exceeds the motor current on the rating plate.

Inverter operating commands
The converter is operated by using various inputs, such as control cable terminal block
inputs, control words via fieldbus, signal generators etc. Further information can be found
under "Configuring operating sources" (Page 128).
The commands have the following functions:
● "Controller enable"
The power unit in the converter, consisting of IGBTs, is only active when controller is
enabled. As well as the options for releasing the controller by software, control cable
terminal -A1-X2:8 must also be activated. If you deactivate this function, the output
semiconductor is blocked immediately and the motor coasts to a stop.
● "Speed in"
Use this command for controlled shutdown of a motor. The motor passes through a brake
ramp during shutdown. The converter is immediately ready for a restart after the braking.
● "Reset"
Acknowledge a queued error using the command "Reset". The converter also takes into
account a shutdown using functions "Fast stop" or "Off1" and "Off2".
● "Off1 (NC)" and "Off2 (NC)"
– Perform a controlled braking with the command "Off1". This command is initiated by
software. Perform an immediate block with the command "Off2". An optional main
contactor drops out. Acknowledge the converter before restarting using the "Reset"
command. When restarting, the converter must first be pre-charged.
– The control via the control cable terminal block of "Off1" and "Off2" is realized using an
NC (normally closed) contact.
Operation
8.1 Operation
Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007 127
● "Emerg. stop (NC) OFF3"
– Perform a controlled braking on the "fast stop brake ramp" with the command "Off3".
This command is initiated by software. The converter shuts down after braking. An
optional main contactor drops out. Acknowledge the converter before restarting using
the "Reset" command.
– The actuation via the control cable terminal block of "Fast stop (NC)" is made via an
NC contact.
This function is not safety-related in the sense of EN ISO 13849-1:2008. If you must
realize a safety-relevant function "Emerg. stop" according to IEC/EN 60204, stop
category one, then control this input and a main contactor via an appropriate safety
relay, e.g. type 3TK2827... from Siemens.
WARNING
Non-safety-related function "Emerg. stop (NC) OFF3"
If you use the "Fast stop (NC) OFF3" function without additional safety relay in the
input and for a main contactor, then the motor will not be shut down safely. This can
result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Use a safety relay for input and main contactor, e.g. type 3TK2827..., for a "Fast
stop" safety-related function according to IEC/EN 60204, stop category one.
● "int.ctr.inhib."
If you have realized the operating functions using controls, e.g. ON / OFF button, this
command causes a shutdown using controller lock without deactivating the controls. No
new ON command is necessary for the restart.
● "int. speed off"
This command has the same function as "int.ctr.inhib.", however cause a controlled
braking to zero speed. All controls are maintained.
● "Reversing"
– In the menu item "P-DRIVE DATA/Rotation =", if you enter the value "both", you can
then activate the command "Reversing". When activated, the converter changes the
rotating output field. In doing so, the motor is braked in a controlled way on the brake
ramp to zero speed. Afterwards, it is accelerated to the configured setpoint value in
the opposite direction. If the value "both" is not set, the drive goes to the configured
minimum speed.
– If the drive does not start despite the presence of setpoint value and operating
commands, check whether the reverse function is activated and at the same time only
one rotation direction is enabled.
● "Motor potentiometer"
Similarly to a mechanical motor potentiometer, you can change the setpoint value using
the <up arrow> and <down arrow> buttons. The position of the motor potentiometer is
stored in the case of power failure.

Operation of several inverters on one PC
It is possible to operate several inverters simultaneously with one PC using the PC tool
"IMS". This is either possible via the serial interface RS 485, the optional fieldbus interfaces
PROFIBUS or PROFINET.
● For RS 485:
you require an appropriate interface converter from Ethernet or USB to RS 485, and you
must establish an RS 485 bus connection between the relevant converters (-X51) and the
interface converter. You must set the baud rate for all devices to the same value, and the
participant address of the converter to different values ≥ 3.
You must be able to access the interface converter via the Ethernet network or it must be
connected to the PC via USB.
● For PROFIBUS:
you require the appropriate interface converter from Ethernet or USB to PROFIBUS
(manufacturer: Softing) and you must connect this with the relevant PROFIBUS line. You
must set your control system for this PROFIBUS line so that you accept an additional
Class 2 master in the communication.
When establishing the connection, the interface converter must be set to a free bus
address and the given baud rate.
● For PROFINET:
you must establish a PROFINET bus connection between the relevant converters (via
port 1 or port 2 of the PROFINET board) and the Ethernet interface of the PC. All
participants must have a unique IP address and be located in the identical subnet.

Overview
Network security includes all measures taken to plan, implement and monitor security in
networks. This includes the control of all interfaces, e.g. between the office network and
plant network, or remote maintenance access via the Internet.

8.1.15.3
Network security
SINAMICS must only be used in a secure and trustworthy network with a firewall. Note the
information in chapter "Network segmentation (Page 135)".
8.1.15.4
Separation between production and office networks
One important protective measure for your automation or drive system is the strict separation
of the production networks and the other company networks. This separation creates
protection zones for your production networks.
Note
The products described in this manual must only be operated in de
fined protection zones.
Separation by means of a firewall system
In the simplest scenario, separation is achieved by means of an individual firewall system
which controls and regulates communication between networks.
Separation via a DMZ network
In the more secure variant, the coupling is established via a separate DMZ (demilitarized
zone) network. In this case, direct communication between the production network and the
company network is completely prevented by firewalls and only takes place indirectly via
servers in the DMZ network.
Note
The production networks should also be divided into separate automation cells in order to
protect critical communication mechanisms.
General security measures
Adhere to the general security measures even within protection zones, e.g. the use of a virus
scanner or the reduction of points of attack.

Network segmentation with SCALANCE S
Siemens provides SCALANCE S security modules to meet network protection and network
segmentation requirements. These are modules support various security functions.
Further information on SIEMENS SCALANCE S can be found on the Internet
(https://w3.siemens.com/mcms/industrial-communication/en/ie/network-security/scalance-
s/Pages/Default.aspx).
Note
Data misuse
Long distances between the device to be protected and the upstream security modules
represent an invitation for data mi
suse.
Upstream security modules, such as SCALANCE
S, must be installed close to the device to
be protected in a locked control cabinet. This ensures that data cannot be manipulated here
without being observed.

Protective functions
Main contactor
If you install a main contactor in your application, this can be controlled using the inverter
software.
In this case, the coil is controlled via a digital output. Feedback from the normally open
contact of the main contactor is realized via digital input -X2:8.
You can provide the main contactor on the mains power side, NS in short, or on the motor
side, MS in short. The "P-INV. BEHAVIOUR/MCfunc" parameter specifies when the main
contactor will be switched and where the main contactor must be installed.
Example: Shutdown only in the case of an error, installation on the mains power or motor
side.
The following settings are possible:

Multiple function of the analog and digital inputs
Analog inputs 1 and 2
The analog inputs have several functions:
● Under "P-ANALOG INPUTS/Analog input 1/AI-function" you can set the value from
"Analog" to "PTC", "KTY84" or "PT100".
● Under "P-ANALOG INPUTS/Analog input 2/AI-function" you can set analog input 2 from
"Analog" to "PTC", "KTY84" or "PT100".
● Also adjust the corresponding DIL switches of the -S2 switch row on board CB08
● More detailed information can be found in the section "DIL switches S1 and S2
(Page 149)".
The following functions are now available:
● "Analog":
The analog input operates as a voltage input at control cable terminals -X2:52-51 / 54-51
or as a current input at control cable terminals -X2:50-51 / 53-51 The value is available as
"AI 1" or "AI 2" for further processing.
● "PTC":
The analog input operates as a PTC thermistor input at control cable terminals
-X2:50-51 / 53-51. The PTC thermistor state is available for further processing as
selection bit "PTC AI 1" or "PTC AI 2".
● "KTY84":
The analog input operates as a direct input for a KTY84-130 temperature sensor at
control cable terminals -X2:50-51 / 53-51. The measured temperature is available as an
analog value under "T-AI1" or "T-AI 2" for further processing.
● "PT100":
The analog input operates as a direct input for a PT100 temperature sensor at control
cable terminals -X2:50-51 / 53-51. The measured temperature is available as an analog
value under "T-AI1" or "T-AI 2" for further processing.
Any analog input can only be used for one function. It is not possible to use several functions
simultaneously for one input.

Installation and Operating Instructions SINAMICS G180
Operating Instructions, 02/2019, 4BS0751-007 161
Digital inputs -X2:27 and -X2:28 as PTC thermistor inputs
The digital inputs are interpreted as a normal digital input for control with a 24 V signal. If
these control cable terminals are wired to 10 V potential using a PTC thermistor sensor,
these function automatically as PTC thermistor monitoring inputs. The selection bits "PTC
X2:27" and "PTC X2:28" indicate the PTC thermistor status. To do this it is mandatory that
you set parameter "P-PULSE INPUT/Mode = inactive".
NOTICE
Unsuitable evaluation unit
If the PTC thermistor for explosion proof motors or for safe isolation is not evaluated using
an ATEX-certified, safely isolated evaluation unit or the peripherals board, damage to the
converter can occur.
Use an ATEX-certified, safely isolated evaluation unit or the peripherals board for safe
operation.
Digital inputs -X2:27, -X2:28 and -X2:29 as frequency or tachometer inputs
These digital inputs can be used as a frequency or tachometer input, for example, in the
following way.
● The field-oriented control at input -X25 / -X101 is not possible, e.g. if the n-sensor is
installed on the machine and there is a gearbox between machine and motor.
● Only one simple proximity switch with e.g. four impulses per revolution is available. The
resolution for the field-oriented regulation is too small in this case. It is suitable for
displays or more precise speed regulation.
● You connect a frequency-dependent setpoint generator of the type used for mining
applications, for example.
Example applications for the digital inputs as frequency inputs:
● Proximity switch with NAMUR output or with PNP-3 wire output
● Two-channel digital tachometer with HTL output
In order that you can use these inputs as frequency or tachometer input, you must select the
required evaluation function using parameter "P-PULSE INPUT/Mode". Independent of the
selected evaluation function, as a result, inputs -X2:27 to :29 are assigned, and are no
longer available as digital inputs. The digital input bits in the bit pool X2:27, X2:28 and X2:29
are connected to a fixed value of "0". Likewise, the bits in the bit pool for the PTC evaluation
"PTC X2:27" and "PTC X2:28" are connected to 0. These can no longer be used.
Possible warnings and faults that are obtained that can be parameterized, for example
"MotorWindingTemp." must be resolved by making the appropriate parameter change, e.g.
setting to "inactive".

Protecting parameters against modification
WARNING
Undesirable machine response
The machine can respond undesirably as a result of incorrect or modified parameterization
of the inverter. Death, serious injury, and property damage can result.
• Protect the parameterization (parameter assignments) against unauthorized access.
• Read and carefully follow the instructions in this document and all of the relevant
documents.
• If necessary, contact our Service Center (Page 189).
You can configure all parameters of the inverter in the delivery state using the internal
control panel or via an RS 232 connection to a PC running the "IMS" software.
If you would like that the inverter should only be configured from one location, you can set
this under "P-INTERFACE/Para-source".
If you would like to no longer allow any parameter changes, you must set the DIL switch
S1.1 to "Off". The exact position of this DIL switch is described in the section "Sub-D
connections and DIL switches" (Page 148).
8.7.3
Configuration using the inverter display
1. You reach the configuration menu by pressing the button <P>. The display "P-DRIVE
DATA" is shown in the first line.
2. Individual menu items can be selected using <up arrow> and <down arrow>. For
example, you reach "P-INTERFACE" using the <down arrow>.
3. When "P-DRIVE DATA" is displayed, press <Return> in order to display the submenu of
"P-DRIVE DATA". The first parameter of "P-DRIVE DATA" "fmin" is shown in the second
line.
4. If you again press <Return>, then in the 2nd line a black bar is displayed between the
parameter name and value. This means that the parameter is unlocked, and you can
enter a new value for the parameter using <Arrow up> or <Arrow down>.
5. If you press <Return> again, then the black bar disappears again. This indicates that the
parameter is again locked. Some parameters are accepted with the lock; others are
already accepted when the value is changed.
6. Press <Arrow up> or <Arrow down> to reach other parameters or submenus. Press
<Return> to reach submenus. Press <P> to go one level higher in the menu structure.

If a fault occurs, the event log of the inverter stores the following data:
● Which error has occurred?
● With parallel-connected inverters:
In which system has the fault occurred?
● Data and time of the error event
● Various actual values such as, e.g. setpoint, motor current, motor voltage, motor
frequency etc.
These data are stored for the last 64 errors. The event number 01 is the most recent error.
Procedure
Read the event log using the "IMS" software.
You can also read these data on the display. Proceed as follows:
1. Press <I> and then the <down arrow> until "I-MEMORY" is shown on the screen.
2. Press <Return> to reach the first event, e.g. "I-Memory/01:Flt>Undervoltage".
If you press <Return> again, you can view all the data stored for this event.

Red pins avoid mixing up the connectors. The control cable terminals are plug-in
connections. You can unplug the plugged-in connections when disconnected from the power
supply.
When installing cables and selecting the cabling materials, it is essential that you observe
the information in sections "Safe isolation in accordance with EN 61800-5-1" (Page 145) and
"Connecting the control cable" (Page 93).
The control cable terminals are color-coded:
● The green terminals on the far left contain all relay outputs and the optocoupler inputs at
a separate potential.
● The black terminals contain the potential-free analog inputs and digital inputs which are
electrically separated the same as the analog inputs.
● The white terminals contain the electrically separated analog outputs.
All external voltages can be connected together for controlling a PCS or PLC. To do this,
jumper the ground terminals -X2:1 with -X2:51 and -X2:51 with -X2:71.
If you control the converter using different devices, potential displacements occur which
depend on the cable length used. Remove the jumpers for longer cables.

Threshold values for fan control system
The fan control system detects the three following states: OFF, SLOW and FAST.
● OFF: The fans are OFF if the unit is not switching and all relevant temperatures are below
the thresholds for FAST.
● SLOW: The fans operate slowly if the unit is turned on (= is switching) and all relevant
temperatures are below the thresholds for FAST.
● FAST: The fans operate fast if one of the relevant temperatures is higher than the
threshold for FAST irrespective of whether or not the unit is turned on.

Voltage derating
The compact units are dimensioned according to minimum air clearances up to 2000 m
above sea level and the cabinet units up to 3000 m. Voltage derating is not required unless
the installation altitude is higher than 2000 m or 3000 m above sea level (this is only
applicable for the basic device 1)).
Since the air clearances in the inverter cannot be changed, this factor must be taken into
account in the voltage derating calculation.
