WARNING

Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources

Touching live components can result in death or serious injury.

• Only work on electrical equipment if you are appropriately qualified.

• Always observe the country-specific safety rules for all work.

Generally, the following steps apply when establishing safety:

1. Prepare for disconnection. Notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.

2. Isolate the drive system from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
switched back on again.

3. Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.

4. Check that there is no voltage between any of the power connections, and between any
of the power connections and the protective conductor connection.

5. Check that every auxiliary circuit is de-energized.

6. Ensure that the motors cannot move.

7. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems or
water. Switch the energy sources to a safe state.

8. Check that the correct drive system is completely locked.

After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness by following the
above steps in the reverse order.

WARNING

Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply

When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may
carry a hazardous voltage that might result in serious injury or death.

• Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.

Safety information

Advanced Operator Panel 30 (AOP30)

6 Operating Instructions, 11/2017, A5E00331451A

WARNING

Electric shock due to equipment damage

Improper handling may cause damage to equipment. For damaged devices, hazardous
voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components; if touched, this can
result in death or severe injury.

• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.

• Do not use any damaged devices.

WARNING

Electric shock due to unconnected cable shield

Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.

• Connect cable shields and unused conductors of power cables (e.g. brake conductors)
at least on one side to the grounded housing potential.

WARNING

Electric shock if there is no ground connection

For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when
touched, can result in death or severe injury.

• Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.

WARNING

Arcing when a plug connection is opened during operation

Opening a plug connection when a system is in operation can result in arcing that may
cause serious injury or death.

• Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a voltage-free state, unless it has
been explicitly stated that they can be opened in operation.

NOTICE

Property damage due to loose power connections

Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in loose power connections. This can
result in damage due to fire, device defects or malfunctions.

• Tighten all power connections to the prescribed torque.

• Check all power connections at regular intervals, particularly after equipment has been

transported.

WARNING

Spread of fire from built-in devices

In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of
fire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.

• Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are

protected against fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect
personnel.

• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.

WARNING

Failure of pacemakers or implant malfunctions due to electromagnetic fields

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the operation of electrical power equipment,
such as transformers, converters, or motors. People with pacemakers or implants in the
immediate vicinity of this equipment are at particular risk.

• If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, maintain a minimum distance of 2 m from

electrical power equipment.

WARNING

Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio devices or mobile phones

When radio devices or mobile phones with a transmission power > 1 W are used in the
immediate vicinity of components, they may cause the equipment to malfunction.
Malfunctions may impair the functional safety of machines and can therefore put people in
danger or lead to property damage.

• If you come closer than around 2 m to such components, switch off any radio devices or

mobile phones.

• Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support App" only on equipment that has already

been switched off.

WARNING

Motor fire in the event of insulation overload

There is a greater load on the motor insulation as result of a ground fault in an IT system. If
the insulation fails, it is possible that death or severe injury can occur as a result of smoke
and fire.

• Use a monitoring device that signals an insulation fault.

• Correct the fault as quickly as possible so the motor insulation is not overloaded.

Safety information

1.1 General safety instructions

Advanced Operator Panel 30 (AOP30)

8 Operating Instructions, 11/2017, A5E00331451A

WARNING

Fire due to inadequate ventilation clearances

Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of components with subsequent
fire and smoke. This can cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in
increased downtime and reduced service lives for devices/systems.

• Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for
the respective component.

WARNING

Unrecognized dangers due to missing or illegible warning labels

Dangers might not be recognized if warning labels are missing or illegible. Unrecognized
dangers may cause accidents resulting in serious injury or death.

• Check that the warning labels are complete based on the documentation.

• Attach any missing warning labels to the components, where necessary in the national

language.

• Replace illegible warning labels.

NOTICE

Device damage caused by incorrect voltage/insulation tests

Incorrect voltage/insulation tests can damage the device.

• Before carrying out a voltage/insulation check of the system/machine, disconnect the
devices as all converters and motors have been subject to a high-voltage test by the
manufacturer, and therefore it is not necessary to perform an additional test within the
system/machine.

WARNING

Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions

Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements that
may result in serious injury or death.

• Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before
commissioning.

• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system,
including all safety-related components.

• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted

5.3

Menu: Parameterization

You can adjust the device settings in the Parameterization menu.

The drive software is modular. The individual modules are called DOs ("drive objects").

The following DOs are available in the SINAMICS G130:

•

CU:

General parameters for the Control Unit

•

VECTOR:

Drive control

•

TM31:

The TM31 terminal module (optional)

•

TM150:

the TM150 temperature sensor module (optional)

Parameters with identical functions may exist with the same parameter number in more than
one DO (e.g. p0002).

The AOP30 is used for operating devices that comprise more than one drive so that attention
is focused on one drive (i.e. the "current" drive). The switchover is made in the main menu.
The corresponding function key is labeled "Drive."

This drive determines the following:

● Operation screen

● Fault and alarm displays

● The controller (ON, OFF, …) of a drive

Depending on your requirements, you can choose between two AOP display types:

1. All parameters
All the parameters present in the device are listed here. The DO to which the currently
selected parameter belongs is displayed in curly brackets in the top left of the screen.

2. DO selection
In this display, you can pre-select a DO Only the parameters for this DO are then listed.
(The expert list display in STARTER only uses this DO view)

In both cases, the set access level governs which parameters are displayed. You can set the
access level in the menu for inhibit functions, which can be called up using the key button.

The parameters for access levels 1 and 2 are sufficient for simple applications.

At access level 3 ("Expert"), you can change the structure of the function by interconnecting
BICO parameters.

In the Data set selection menu, you can choose which of the data sets chosen is currently
DISPLAYED on the operator panel.
Data set parameters are indicated by a "c", "d", "m", "e", or "p" between the parameter
number and parameter designator.

When a data set parameter is changed, the data set selection dialog appears.

Curve recorder

The curve recorder provides a slow trace function, which monitors a signal trend.
A signal selected via a parameter is shown in the form of a curve.

Figure 5-4 Curve recorder

The curve recorder-relevant settings are changed by pressing the F5 key or via the
"Commissioning / Service – AOP settings - Curve recorder-relevant settings" menu.

The value of the parameter selected in the curve recorder-relevant settings is output on the
display in addition to the curve and updated every 0.5 ... 24.5 seconds (parameterizable).
With a slowly running time basis (as of 20 minutes/figure), the time basis value flashes in the
header in the 1 s-cycle alternately with the text "slow X".

Assignment of the function keys F1 to F5 is not normally displayed so that the space can be
fully utilized to display the curve. Pressing a function key shows the key assignments. If no
further key is pressed within 5 seconds, the labeling will disappear again.

The curve can be scaled automatically or manually. This is selected with key F3 "scale+" ­F2 "Auto/Manual" followed by confirmation with F5 "OK."

●

Auto

The scaling of the curve changes dynamically, it is oriented to the maximum value (for
example, 12.49) and minimum value (for example, 0.00) visible in the display at the
actual point in time. Scaling can be changed step-by-step by pressing buttons F2 and F3.
If measured value noise is shown with an excessively high resolution as a result of the
automatic scaling, then the resolution can be reduced in four steps by pressing button F2.
As a result, the automatic scaling is deactivated. However, if the measured value leaves
the display area, then this is extended. Automatic scaling can be reselected by pressing
button F3.

●

Manually

After selecting manual scaling and confirmation with "OK", a window opens in which the
maximum and minimum limits for scaling can be set.

Figure 5-5 Curve recorder - manual scaling

After setting and applying the limits, you switch to the curve recorder and manual scaling
is used.

If the current measured values are outside the displayable range, the range will
automatically be extended.

Note
Changing the parameter for the curve recorder in manual scaling

When the parameter for the curve recorder is changed the following occurs with manual
scaling:

•

If the current parameter has lower values than the currently set scaling, the scaling will

be retained.

•

If the current parameter has higher values than the currently set scaling, the scaling

will be adjusted automatically.

Access level

(factory setting: Expert):

The different parameters required for this complex application are filtered so that they can be
displayed as clearly as possible. You select them according to the access level.

An expert level, which must only be used by expert personnel, is required for certain actions.

Note
Copy from RAM to ROM

When the operator input inhibit or parameterization inhibit is activated, a "Copy from RAM to
ROM" is automatically executed to back the parameter settings up in non-volatile memory on
the memory card.

5.8

Faults and alarms

Indicating faults and alarms

If a fault occurs, the drive displays the fault and/or alarm on the operator panel. Faults are
indicated by the red "FAULT" LED and a fault screen is automatically displayed. You can use
the F1 Help function to call up information about the cause of the fault and how to remedy it.
You can use F5 Ack. to acknowledge a stored fault.

Alarms are indicated by means of the yellow "ALARM" LED. The system also displays a note
in the status bar providing information on the cause.

What is a fault?

A fault is a message from the drive indicating an error or other exceptional (unwanted) status
that causes the drive to shutdown. This could be caused by a fault within the converter or an
external fault triggered, for example, by the winding temperature monitor for the motor. The
faults are displayed and can be reported to a higher-level control system via PROFIBUS. In
the factory default setting, the message "converter fault" is also sent to a relay output. Once
you have rectified the cause of the fault, you have to acknowledge the fault message.

What is an alarm?

An alarm is the response to a fault condition identified by the drive. It does not result in the
drive being switched off and does not have to be acknowledged. Alarms are "self
acknowledging", that is, they are reset automatically when the cause of the alarm has been
eliminated.

Fault and alarm displays

Every fault and alarm is entered in the fault/alarm buffer along with time the error occurred.
The time stamp refers to the system time (r2114).

You can call up an overview screen that displays the current status of faults and/or alarms
for every drive object in the system by choosing MENU – Fault memory / alarm memory.

A context menu featuring the "Back" and "Quit" options appears when you press F4 "Next".
The function required can be selected using F2 and F3 and executed by pressing F5 "OK".
The "Acknowledge" function sends an acknowledgement signal to each drive object.
The red FAULT LED extinguishes once all the faults have been acknowledged.

5.9 Saving the parameters permanently

Advanced Operator Panel 30 (AOP30)

5.9

Saving the parameters permanently

Description

If parameters are changed using the operator panel (confirm with OK in the Parameter
editor), the new values are initially stored in the volatile memory (RAM) of the drive. An "S"
flashes in the top right of the AOP display until they are saved to a permanent memory. This
indicates that at least 1 parameter has been changed and not yet stored permanently.

Two methods are available for permanently saving parameters that have been changed:

● To store the parameters permanently, choose <MENU> <Parameterization> <OK>
<Permanent parameter transfer>.

● When confirming a parameter setting with OK, press the OK key for more than 1 s. The
system displays a message asking you whether the setting is to be saved in the
EEPROM.
If you press "Yes", the system saves the setting in the EEPROM. If you press "No", the
setting is not saved permanently and the "S" starts flashing to indicate this fact.

For both options,

all

changes that have not yet been saved permanently are stored in the

EEPROM.

5.10

Parameterization errors

If a fault occurs when reading or writing parameters, a popup window containing the cause of
the problem is displayed.

The system displays:

Parameter write error (d)pxxxx.yy:0xnn

and a plain-text explanation of the type of parameterization error.
