SINAMICS DCM Servicing

Description/learning objective

Unplanned stoppages of production machines can cost a lot of money.

In this course you will learn the proper way to handle the SINAMICS DC MASTER DC converter. You will be able to adapt the parameter assignment and carry out data backups for modifications to the system. In the event of failures you will be in a better position to analyze the faults and to clear them more quickly. That will save time and money.
