Overview of drive applications for SINAMICS converters including SIMATIC ET 200pro FC-2 frequency converters

Standard applications: Understanding and profiting from know-how

The development of standard applications is a major area of activity within the Siemens automation and drive environment. The scope of these standard applications ranges from clearly organized documentation that focuses on one or several technologies (e.g. Safety Integrated) to complete, comprehensive, standardized solutions for complex tasks (e.g. cross cutters).

Standard application requirements

One feature that all application examples have in common is that they are designed to help users help themselves. They have been created by developers with extensive tool, commissioning and application know-how to make them as user-friendly as possible. Standard applications generally provide the user with reusable components.

Technology functions in the higher-level control system

• Tested SIMATIC PLC blocks
• Reusable HMIs and faceplates

Technology functions in the drive

• Tested SIMATIC PLC blocks
• Reusable HMIs and faceplates
• Application-specific Drive Control Charts (DCC)

Advanced technology functions

The development of standard technological applications is a dedicated area of activity within the Siemens automation and drive environment. Owing to the generally large size of the applications, they are supplied with detailed documentation and example codes.

These applications focus on the use of product features such as SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (DCC) with its Drive Control Block (DCB) libraries of DCB Standard and DCB Extension, SINAMICS Technology Extensions (TEC) and Free Function Blocks (FFB).

This enables extensive, complete and standardized solutions to be developed for complex drive tasks.

These solutions can be flexibly adapted while at the same time allowing the user to expand them with additional elements or special functions as required.

Application examples

Freely available application examples offer:

• Explanation of the necessary configuring steps with Siemens engineering tools
• Reusable standardized blocks for SIMATIC PLC
• Functionally coordinated programs and blocks
• Significantly shorter commissioning times

Various application examples also explain how to use Free Function Blocks (FFB), logic processing integrated in the drive with Drive Control Chart (DCC) and Safety Integrated.
