Overview

The documentation for the SIMOREG DC MASTER converters is available at three different levels:

• Description
• Operating instructions
• Documentation on CD-ROM

These types of documentation differ with regard to their content and medium (printed or on CD-ROM).

Description

The Description is supplied with every unit as a manual with the exception of the SIMOREG CM unit. The content is an excerpt from the Operating Instructions and contains the same Sections with the exception of Sections 9 (function descriptions), 11 (parameter list) and 12 (list of connectors and binectors). The Description contains the information in English and German. Versions in other languages are not available.

The Description provides the necessary product documentation (such as dimension drawings, technical data, function diagrams and descriptions of the errors and warnings). The commissioning instructions it contains supports commissioning of a unit and in addition – for the experienced user of SIMOREG DC MASTER converters – project engineering on the basis of function diagrams is possible.

Operating instructions

The Operating Instructions contain all the relevant data for the SIMOREG DC MASTER converters. In addition to the information provided in the Description, the Operating Instructions contain the detailed function description, the extensive parameter description and the complete list of connectors and binectors. The Operating Instructions are available in five languages: English, German, French, Spanish and Italian and must be ordered separately. German Operating Instructions are supplied with the SIMOREG CM unit, other language versions must be ordered with a “Z” option.

The Operating Instructions are required when:

• Access to the parameter list is necessary
• Complex project engineering requires functions over and above the factory settings or the standard drive functions
• The dynamic overload capability of the units is to be individually utilized.

Documentation on CD-ROM

The product CD-ROM contains all the Operating Instructions for the converters and for the SIMOREG CM unit in electronic form. The files are provided in Acrobat and Winword file format.

The CD-ROM also contains the DriveMonitor for commissioning, parameter setting and diagnosis via the PC. The DriveMonitor supersedes SIMOVIS and is a component of the Drive Engineering System “Drive ES”. On the CD-ROM, there are articles about DC drive applications and implementation, on topics such as:

• Axle winders
• 12-pulse applications
• Control sequence changeover (Master Slave operation)
• SIMOREG as field supply unit
• Tips for project engineering
• and more. These articles are continuously reviewed and updated.
