SINAMICS memory card (SD card)

The parameter settings for an inverter can be stored on the SINAMICS SD card. When service is required, e.g. after the inverter has been replaced and the data have been downloaded from the memory card the drive system is immediately ready for use again.

• Parameter settings can be written from the memory card to the inverter or saved from the inverter to the memory card.
• Up to 100 parameter sets can be stored
• The memory card supports standard commissioning without the use of an operator panel such as the IOP, BOP?2 or the STARTER and SINAMICS Startdrive commissioning tools.
• If firmware is stored on the memory card and a Control Unit is installed, the firmware can be upgraded/downgraded during power-up ¹⁾.

Note:

The memory card is not required for operation and does not have to remain inserted.

Licenses can be optionally ordered for CU250S?2 Control Units in order to implement safety technology and positioning capability via the SINAMICS SD card. For further information, refer to section Control Units.
