The Basic Line Modules have the following interfaces as standard:

• 1 line supply connection
• 1 connection for the 24 V DC electronics power supply
• 1 DC link connection (DCP, DCN) for supplying the connected Motor Modules
• 1 DC link connection (DCPA, DCNA) for connecting a Braking Module
• 3 DRIVE?CLiQ sockets
• 1 temperature sensor input for KTY84?130, Pt1000 or PTC (Pt1000 can be used from firmware V4.7 HF17)
• 1 PE connection

The status of the Basic Line Modules is indicated via three LEDs.

The scope of supply of the Basic Line Modules includes:

• DRIVE?CLiQ cable to connect to a Control Unit
• DRIVE?CLiQ cable to connect the Control Unit to the first Motor Module
• 1 set of warning labels in 30 languages

Pre-charging circuit for the Basic Line Modules, frame size GD

Unlike Basic Line Modules in frame sizes FB and GB, a Basic Line Module in frame size GD requires a separate precharging circuit. The pre-charging circuit components must be ordered separately.

During startup, the pre-charging circuit ensures that the DC link capacitors of the Basic Line Module and the connected Motor Modules are pre-charged with current limiting. After pre-charging has been completed, the circuit breaker is closed and the pre-charging circuit bypassed; the Basic Line Module is then directly connected to the line supply.

The pre-charging circuit comprises a pre-charging contactor and pre-charging resistors; the circuit must be protected against overcurrent using suitable protection measures. To increase the permissible DC link capacitance, the pre-charging resistors can also be connected in parallel in each phase.

More information on the pre-charging circuit is to be found in the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.
