Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources
WARNING
Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
• Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, the following six 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 whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are 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 in the inverse
sequence.
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.

Arcing when a plug connection is opened during operation
1.1 General safety instructions
Improper handling of motors or devices can damage them.
Hazardous voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components on
damaged motors or devices.
• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
• Do not use any damaged motors or devices.
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
• As a minimum, connect cable shields and the conductors of power cables that are not
used (e.g. brake cores) at one end at the grounded housing potential.
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.
Opening a plug connection when a system is 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.
Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio devices or mobile phones
WARNING
Unrecognized dangers due to missing or illegible warning labels
1.1 General safety instructions
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.
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 radios or mobile
phones.
• Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support app" only on equipment that has already
been switched off.
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.

1FN3 motors are permanent-magnet synchronous linear motors with a modular cooling
concept. Depending on the accuracy requirements, the motor can be optionally operated
with a primary section precision cooler and/or a secondary section cooling. To a large extent,
the motors are then thermally neutral with respect to the machine itself.
The motor is delivered in components (at least primary section and secondary sections) and
installed directly in the machine. Due to the series connection of primary and secondary
sections, user-defined motor forces and straight traversing distances of various lengths can
be achieved.

Benefits
2.1 Highlights and benefits
-assembled cables
The general-purpose motors in the 1FN3 product family are powerful linear motors with a
broad range of types. These motors have the following properties:
● High power density
● High dynamic response
● High forces
● Compact design
● Low sensitivity to corrosive ambient conditions
While the peak load motors have high overload capability, the continuous load motors have
a rated force with high availability.
The motors of the 1FN3 product family can be operated in parallel. You will find information
on this in Chapter "Coupled motors (Page 569)".
● Modular design: The motor can therefore be configured to optimally match the technical
requirements. The modularity of the motor is explained in Chapter "Motor components
and options (Page 83)".
● The motor is thermally decoupled from the machine using a primary section precision
cooler and secondary section cooling, based on the Thermo-Sandwich
● Simple coolant connection.
● The secondary section track can be fully covered: This provides a smooth surface and
prevents unwanted particle deposits, especially in the gaps between the secondary
sections.
● Simple electrical connection via an integrated terminal panel or permanent cable
connections.
● Low mass and high overload capability: The motor is ideally suited for acceleration drive
applications.
● Low mass and high continuous load capability. The motor is ideally suited to load cycles
with continuous acceleration and braking phases and continuous loads, such as weight
force or process forces.
● Low force ripple. The motor is suitable for high-precision applications.

2.2 Use for the intended purpose
There is a risk of death, serious injury and/or material damage when direct drives or their
components are used for a purpose for which they were not intended.
• Only use the motors for industrial or commercial plants and systems.
• Do not install the motors in hazardous zones if the motors have not been expressly and
explicitly designed and authorized for this purpose. Carefully observe any special
additional notes provided.
• Only use direct drives and their components for applications that Siemens has explicitly
specified.
• Protect the motors against dirt and contact with corrosive substances.
• Ensure that the installation conditions comply with the rating plate specifications and the
condition specifications contained in this documentation. Where relevant, take into
account deviations regarding approvals or country-specific regulations.
• Contact your local Siemens office if you have any questions relating to correct use.
• If you wish to use special versions and design versions whose technical details vary
from the motors described in this document, then you must contact your local Siemens
office.
Electric motors pose a danger to people with active medical implants, e.g. cardiac
stimulators, who come close to the motors.
• If you are affected, stay at a minimum distance of 500 mm from the motors (tripping
threshold for static magnetic fields of 0.5 mT according to the Directive 2013/35/EU).
Combined with a drive system with closed-loop control, peak load motors are well suited as
direct drives for linear motion, e.g. for:
● Applications with high process forces (e.g. grinding, turning, etc.)
● Vertical axes without weight compensation, quills
● Handling, Cartesian robots
You can use Motor Modules in the "blocksize", "booksize" or "chassis" formats.

2.3 Technical features and environmental conditions
Even when the motor is switched off, the permanent magnets can put people with active
medical implants at risk if they are close to the motor.
Examples of active medical implants include: Heart pacemakers, insulin pumps.
• As the affected person, maintain a minimum distance of 500 mm from the permanent
magnets (trigger threshold for static magnetic fields of 0.5 mT as per directive
2013/35/EU).
With regard to the effect of strong magnetic fields on people, the DGUV rule 103-013
"Electromagnetic Fields" of the German Social Accident Insurance applies in Germany.
This rule specifies all the requirements that must be observed in the workplace. In other
countries, the relevant applicable national and local regulations and requirements must be
taken into account.
When dealing with magnetic fields, you must consider the requirements of DGUV rule
103-013 of the German Social Accident Insurance.
The magnetic fields of the secondary sections are permanent. When you come into direct
bodily contact with the secondary sections, a static magnetic flux density of 2 T is not
exceeded.
• Observe DGUV rule 103-013, § 14 "Systems with high static magnetic fields".
Voltage is induced at the power connections of the primary section each time a primary
section moves with respect to a secondary section – and vice versa. If you touch the power
connections you may suffer an electric shock.
• Do not touch the power connections.
• Connect the motor cable ports correctly, or insulate them properly.

Description of the motor
WARNING
Danger of crushing by permanent magnets of the secondary section
made of solid, non-magnetizable material (e.g. hard wood).
2.3 Technical features and environmental conditions
The forces of attraction of magnetic secondary sections act on materials that can be
magnetized. The forces of attraction increase significantly close to the secondary section.
The trigger threshold of 3 mT for a risk of injury due to attraction and projectile effect is
reached at a distance of 150 mm (directive 2013/35/EU). Secondary sections and materials
that can be magnetized can suddenly slam together unintentionally. Two secondary
sections can also unintentionally slam together.
There is a significant risk of crushing when you are close to a secondary section.
Close to the secondary section, the forces of attraction can be several kN - example:
Magnetic attractive forces are equivalent to a force of 100 kg, which is sufficient to trap a
body part.
• Do not underestimate the strength of the attractive forces, and work very carefully.
• Wear safety gloves.
• The work should be done by at least two people.
• Do not unpack the secondary section until immediately before assembly.
• Never unpack several secondary sections at the same time.
• Never place secondary sections next to one another without taking the appropriate
precautions.
• Never place any metals on magnetic surfaces and vice versa.
• Never carry any objects made of magnetizable materials (for example watches, steel or
iron tools) and/or permanent magnets close to the secondary section! If tools that can
be magnetized are nevertheless required, then hold the tool firmly using both hands.
Slowly bring the tool to the secondary section.
• Immediately mount the secondary section that has just been unpacked.
• Always comply with the specified procedure.
• Avoid inadvertently traversing direct drives.
• Keep the following tools at hand to release parts of the body (hand, fingers, foot etc.)
trapped between two components:
– A hammer (about 3 kg) made of solid, non-magnetizable material
– Two pointed wedges (wedge angle approx. 10° to 15°, minimum height 50 mm)
First aid in the case of accidents involving permanent magnets
Material damage caused by strong magnetic fields
NOTICE
Data loss caused by strong magnetic fields
2.3 Technical features and environmental conditions
● Stay calm.
● If the machine is energized, press the emergency stop switch and open the main switch if
necessary.
● Administer FIRST AID. Call for further help if required.
● To free jammed parts of the body (e.g. hands, fingers, feet), pull apart components that
are clamped together.
– Do this using the non-magnetic hammer to drive the non-magnetic wedges into the
separating rift.
– Release the jammed body parts.
● If necessary, call the emergency medical service or an emergency physician.
If you are close to a secondary section (< 150 mm) any magnetic or electronic data medium
as well as electronic devices that you are carrying can be destroyed. For example, credit
cards, USB sticks, floppy disks and watches are at risk.
• Do not carry any magnetic/electronic data media and no electronic devices when you
are close to a secondary section!

2.4 Derating factors
For installation altitudes above 2000 m above sea level, reduce the voltage stress of the
motors according to table "Factors to reduce the maximum DC link voltage" (reciprocal
values from EN 60664-1 Table A. 2).
Table 2- 7 Factors to reduce the maximum DC link voltage
3000 0.877
Reducing the DC link voltage reduces the converter output voltage. The operating range in
the F-v diagram is thus also reduced.
You can find the F-v diagrams in the associated data sheet.
Operation in a vacuum is not permissible due to the low voltage strength and the poor
cooling.
The article number is used as the order designation. The article number consists of a
combination of letters and numerals. When placing an order, it is sufficient just to specify the
unique article number.
The article number consists of three blocks that are separated by hyphens. The first block
incorporates seven characters and designates the product family and size of the primary or
secondary section. Additional design features are encrypted in the second block, such as
length and velocity. The third block is provided for additional data.
Please note that not every theoretical combination is possible.

Design of the cooling
Components
The water cooling system dissipates the power loss generated in the primary section.
● Connect the interconnected cooling channels to the cooling circuit of a heat-exchanger
unit.
You can find characteristic curves for the pressure drop of the coolant between the flow and
return circuit of the coolers as a function of the volume flow rate in Chapter "Technical data
and characteristics".
The rated motor forces specified in the data sheets apply under the following conditions:
● Operation with water cooling with a water flow temperature of 35 °C
● Maximum temperature of the ambient air 40 °C.
If the heat dissipated through the secondary section mounting surfaces is not adequate, the
secondary section can overheat, which could demagnetize the magnets.
• Ensure that the secondary section does not exceed the maximum temperature of 70 °C.
The following components are available for cooling the motors of the 1FN3 product family:
● Primary section main cooler
● Primary section precision cooler (optional)
● Secondary section cooling (optional)
These components are structurally separated in motors of the 1FN3 product family. They
allow the cooling system to be laid out according to the Thermo-Sandwich® principle.

3.1 Cooling
The following figure shows details of the heat dissipation according to the
Thermo-Sandwich® principle.
Figure 3-1 Heat dissipation from motors of the 1FN3 product family
The primary section main cooler is directly installed in the primary section. Under rated
conditions, the primary section main cooler dissipates 85% to 90% of the power loss arising
in the primary section.
The primary section main cooler has no influence on the thermal insulation of the motor from
the machine.
Under rated conditions, the primary section precision cooler dissipates 2% to 10% of the
total power loss from the primary section. This keeps the temperature rise of the outer
surface of the primary section precision cooler over the flow temperature of the primary
section precision cooler within a small range of fluctuation. Together with the secondary
section cooling, the primary section precision cooler reduces the heat transmission into the
connection structure.
The air gap insulates the primary section from the secondary section. On the bolting surface,
the optional primary section precision cooler shields the surrounding area from excessively
high motor temperatures. Thermo-insulators on the screwed connections and the air
chamber located in between reduce heat transfer from the primary section.
The lateral radiation panels of the primary section precision cooler also form air filled spaces.
These radiation panels insulate the primary section from the machine structure at the sides.
Under rated conditions, the temperature rise of the outer surface of the primary section
precision cooler over the flow temperature is no more than 4 K.
Secondary section cooling / thermal insulation of the secondary section
NOTICE
Secondary section cooling is required for large motors
Secondary section cooling components
3.1 Cooling
If the primary section precision cooler is not used, the temperatures on the surface of the
motor may exceed 100 °C.
The secondary section cooling dissipates 5% to 8% of the total power loss of the motor
under rated conditions.
The standard cooling circuit for the secondary sections comprises heatsink profiles and two
combi distributors as secondary section end pieces.
Secondary section cooling is required in the following circumstances:
● Applications with high heat loss entries in the secondary sections
● Applications, where the machine bed does not ensure that heat is dissipated through the
contact surface to the secondary sections
For motors of sizes 1FN3600 and 1FN3900, secondary section cooling is imperative for the
proper function of the motors. The large amount of heat transferred from the primary
section to the secondary sections cannot be dissipated to the machine bed via the
secondary sections' contact surfaces.
• Ensure that secondary section cooling is used for these large motors.
You usually require heatsink profiles and secondary section end pieces for cooling the
secondary sections of motors in the 1FN3 product family.

The heatsink profiles are laid between the machine base and the secondary sections and
together with these screwed to the machine base. The following two figures show the
resulting cooling system without secondary section end pieces. The blue dotted lines
indicate the coolant flow.

Figure 3-3 Secondary section cooling, comprising heatsink profiles with hose connector nipples for
motors of sizes 1FN3600 … 1FN3900 (side view and top view)
For size 1FN3600 and larger, three heatsink profiles with a total of six cooling channels are
used. The lateral profiles protrude just a little beyond the secondary section. The middle
(additional) heatsink profile is attached by the line of screws in the center of the secondary
sections.
The surfaces of the heatsink profiles are thermally optimized. The heat is transferred to the
contact area of the secondary section track and from there to the cooling channel. Toward
the machine structure, however, the contact area is small, so that the heat transfer is kept at
a minimum.
The heatsink profiles are available in lengths up to 3 m.
The following secondary section end pieces at the start and end of the secondary section
track close the cooling circuit and facilitate the cooling medium connection through uniform
connectors:
● Combi distributor
● Combi adapter / combi end piece
As standard, combi distributors are used as secondary section end pieces. Secondary
section end pieces are available for all sizes. You can use combi adapters / combi end
pieces as an alternative for sizes 1FN3050 … 1FN3450. Cover end pieces are not directly
involved in the cooling of the secondary sections.
The following figures show the secondary section cooling with different secondary section
end piece models.

● If you use the machine cooling circuits to also cool the motors, you must ensure that the
coolant fully complies with the requirements listed in this chapter.
● Also note the maximum non-operational times of cooling circuits corresponding to the
coolant manufacturer’s data.
When selecting the cooling components to be used, you must consider the following:
● The main cooler is sufficient if the thermal transfer into the machine structure does not
have a negative impact on the system.
● If increased demands are placed on the precision of the machine, use of a primary
section precision cooler and secondary section cooling according to the ThermoSandwich® principle is required.
● If you use primary sections 1FN3600 to 1FN3900, you will definitely need secondary
section cooling for heat dissipation of the secondary sections.
Rigid connections between the cooling circuits can lead to problems with leaks!
• Use flexible connections (hoses) when interconnecting cooling circuits.
You can connect primary section cooling circuits in parallel to simplify connection systems
and piping. In this case, you must carefully take into consideration the temperature and
pressure differences between the flow and return for each primary section.

cooling circuit.
For a list of companies from which you can obtain heat-exchanger units, see the appendix.
The power loss generated in the motor during continuous operation causes a thermal flow to
take place. The surrounding machine assembly dissipates a small percentage of this thermal
flow. The cooling system coolant dissipates the majority of this thermal flow. The cooling
system must dissipate 85% to 90% of the power loss that occurs. Dimension the cooling
capacity of the cooling system appropriately.

Requirements placed on the water
3.1 Cooling
The customer must provide the coolant. The motors are designed for use with an anticorrosion protection agent added to the water.
The use of oil as a coolant can lead to material incompatibilities. O-rings and hoses can
disintegrate.
• Use water with anti-corrosion protection as coolant.
The use of untreated water may lead to considerable damage and malfunctions due to water
hardness deposits, the formation of algae and slime, as well as corrosion, for example:
● Worsening of the heat transfer
● Higher pressure losses due to reductions in cross-sectional area
● Blockage of nozzles, valves, heat exchangers and cooling ducts
The cooling medium must be pre-cleaned or filtered in order to prevent the cooling circuit
from becoming blocked. The formation of ice is not permitted!
Water which is used as basis for the coolant must comply as a minimum with the following
requirements:
● Chloride concentration: c < 100 mg/l
● Sulfate concentration: c < 100 mg/l
● 6.5 ≤ pH value ≤ 9.5
μm.
Contact the anti-corrosion agent manufacturer relating to additional requirements!
The anti-corrosion agent must fulfill the following requirements:
● The basis is ethylene glycol (also called ethanediol)
● The water and anti-corrosion agent do not segregate
● The freezing point of the water used is reduced to at least -5 °C
● The anti-corrosion agent used must be compatible with the fittings and cooling system
hoses used as well as the materials of the motor cooler
Check these requirements, especially in regard to material compatibility, with the cooling unit
manufacturer and the manufacturer of the anti-corrosion agent!
● 25% - 30% ethylene glycol (= ethanediol)
● The water used contains a maximum of 2 g/l dissolved mineral salt and is largely free
from nitrates and phosphates
Manufacturer recommendations: see appendix
If the area where the motor is installed is polluted and dirty, then the motor can malfunction
and clog up.
• Keep the area where the motor is installed free of all dirt and pollution.
The primary sections satisfy the requirements for IP65 degree of protection in accordance
with EN 60529 and EN 60034-5.
The secondary sections are protected against corrosion to a large degree via structural
measures. Ensure that the air gap remains free of chips and other foreign bodies. Provide
suitable covers for this. As of a distance of 150 mm from the surface of the secondary
section, ferromagnetic particles are generally no longer attracted.
Avoid using abrasive or corrosive substances (e.g. acids).

3.3 Vibration response
The better the motor installation space is protected against the ingress of foreign particles
(especially true for ferromagnetic particles), the longer the motor service life. The space
around the motor must be kept free of chips and other foreign bodies.
The degree of protection of the installed motor according to EN 60529 and EN 60034-5 is
primarily dictated by the machine construction, but must be at least IP23.
The vibration response of build-in motors in operation essentially depends on the machine
design and the application itself.
As a result of an unfavorable machine design, configuration or system settings, resonance
points can be excited, so that vibration severity level A according to EN 60034-14
(IEC 60034-14) is not reached.
Excessive vibration caused by resonance effects can frequently be avoided by making
suitable settings. Contact Mechatronic Support if you require help in applying remedial
measures. You can find contact data in the Introduction under "Technical Support".
The following components and settings influence the noise levels reached when built-in
motors are operational:
● Machine design
● Encoder system
● Storage
● Controller settings
● Pulse frequency
As a result of unfavorable machine designs, configuration or system settings, measuring
surface sound pressure levels of over 70dB (A) can occur. Contact Mechatronic Support if
you require help in applying remedial measures. You can find contact data in the Introduction
under "Technical Support".

3.5 Service and inspection intervals
Risk of death and crushing as a result of permanent magnet fields
Severe injury and material damage can result if you do not take into consideration the
safety instructions relating to the permanent magnet fields of the secondary sections.
• Observe the information in Chapter "Danger from strong magnetic fields (Page 29)".
The forces of attraction of magnetic secondary sections act on materials that can be
magnetized. The forces of attraction increase significantly close to the secondary section.
The trigger threshold of 3 mT for a risk of injury due to attraction and projectile effect is
reached at a distance of 150 mm (directive 2013/35/EU). Secondary sections and materials
that can be magnetized can suddenly slam together unintentionally. Two secondary
sections can also unintentionally slam together.
There is a significant risk of crushing when you are close to a secondary section.
Close to the secondary section, the forces of attraction can be several kN – example:
Magnetic attractive forces are equivalent to a force of 100 kg, which is sufficient to trap a
body part.
• Do not underestimate the strength of the attractive forces, and work very carefully.
• Wear safety gloves.
• The work should be done by at least two people.
• Do not unpack the secondary section until immediately before assembly.
• Never unpack several secondary sections at the same time.
• Never place secondary sections next to one another without taking the appropriate
precautions.
• Never place any metals on magnetic surfaces and vice versa.
• Never carry any objects made of magnetizable materials (for example watches, steel or
iron tools) and/or permanent magnets close to the secondary section! If tools that can
be magnetized are nevertheless required, then hold the tool firmly using both hands.
Slowly bring the tool to the secondary section.
• Immediately mount the secondary section that has just been unpacked.
• Always comply with the specified procedure.
• Avoid inadvertently traversing direct drives.
• Keep the following tools at hand to release parts of the body (hand, fingers, foot etc.)
trapped between two components:
– A hammer (about 3 kg) made of solid, non-magnetizable material
– Two pointed wedges (wedge angle approx. 10° to 15°, minimum height 50 mm)

The motors have been designed for a long service life. Carefully ensure that maintenance
work is correctly performed, e.g. removing chips and particles from the air gap.
For safety reasons it is not permissible to repair the motors:
Changing safety-relevant motor properties may result in death, serious injury and/or
material damage.
Examples of changed safety-relevant motor properties:
Damaged insulation does not protect against arcing. There is a risk of electric shock!
Damaged sealing no longer guarantees protection against shock, ingress of foreign bodies

If you check the insulation resistance using high voltage on a plant/machine equipped with
direct drives or directly at the motors, this can damage the motor insulation! Examples
necessitating that the insulation resistance is checked include the installation test,
preventive maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Only use test equipment that is in compliance with DIN EN 61557-1, DIN EN 61557-2
and DIN EN 61010-1 or the corresponding IEC standards.
• The test may only be carried out with a maximum direct voltage of 1000 V for a
maximum time of 60 s!
• Measure the insulation resistance with respect to the PE connection or the motor
enclosure.
• If a higher DC or AC voltage is necessary to test the machine/plant, you must coordinate
the test with your local Siemens office!
• Carefully observe the operating instructions of the test equipment!
Always proceed as follows when testing the insulation resistance of individual motors:
1. Connect all winding and temperature sensor connections with each other; the test voltage
must not exceed 1000 VDC, 60 s with respect to PE connection.
2. Connect all temperature sensor connections to the PE connection and all winding
connections with each other; the test voltage must not exceed 1000 VDC, 60 s, winding
with respect to PE connection.
Each insulation resistance must be at least 10 MΩ, otherwise the motor insulation is
defective.
During and immediately after the measurement, in some instances, the terminals are at
hazardous voltage levels, which can result in death if touched.
• Never touch the terminals during or immediately after measurement.
Temperature monitoring and thermal motor protection
4.1.2.1
Temperature monitoring circuits Temp-S and Temp-F
Temp-S
4.1 Motor components
The primary sections are equipped with two subsequently described temperature monitoring
circuits – Temp-S and Temp-F.
● Temp-S activates the thermal motor protection when the motor windings are thermally
overloaded. In this case the precondition is that Temp-S is correctly connected and
evaluated. For a thermal overload, the drive system must bring the motor into a
no-current condition.
● Temp-F is used for temperature monitoring and diagnostics during commissioning and in
operation.
Both temperature monitoring circuits are independent of one another.
For example, the SME12x Sensor Module or the TM120 Terminal Module evaluates the
temperature sensor signals.
You can obtain commissioning information from Technical Support. Contact data is provided
in the introduction.
To protect the motor winding against thermal overload, all primary sections are equipped
with the following temperature monitoring circuit:
● 1 x PTC 120 °C temperature sensor per phase winding U, V, and W, switching threshold
at 120 °C
The three PTC temperature sensors of this temperature monitoring circuit are connected in
series to create a PTC triplet.
Figure 4-2 PTC triplet
Every phase winding is monitored so that also uneven currents – and therefore the
associated different thermal loads of the individual phase windings – are detected. Different
thermal loads of the individual phase windings also occur during the subsequent motion or
operating states while the motor is simultaneously generating a force:
● Zero velocity (holding)
● Very slow travel (velocity < 0.5 m/min)
● Oscillation (stroke < 1 pole pitch)

4.1 Motor components
Every PTC temperature has a "quasi-switching" characteristic. The resistance suddenly
increases in the vicinity of the response threshold (nominal response temperature ϑ
PTC temperature sensors have a low thermal capacity – and have good thermal contact with
the motor winding. As a consequence, the temperature sensors and the system quickly
respond to inadmissibly high motor winding temperatures.

In the following, encoder system stands for position measuring systems, position encoders,
encoders etc.
The encoder system has a range of different functions:
● Velocity actual value encoder for the velocity control
● Position encoder for closed-loop position control
● Pole position encoder (commutation)
The encoder system is not included in the scope of supply. Due to the wide range of different
applications, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive list of suitable encoders here.
A certain encoder type can be optimum for one application, but essentially unsuitable for
another application.
Absolute position encoders with DRIVE-CLiQ, EnDat interface or incremental position
encoders with 1 V
signal are preferred.

Requirements regarding the encoder
4.1 Motor components
Your choice of encoder essentially depends on the following application and converterspecific conditions:
● Specified maximum velocity
● Specified velocity accuracy
● Specified positioning accuracy and resolution
● Pollution level expected
● Expected electrical/magnetic interference
● Specified ruggedness
● Electrical encoder interface
Observe the documentation of the drive system being used and the documentation of the
encoder manufacturer.
Encoder systems available in the market use different scanning principles (magnetic,
inductive, optical, …).
In conjunction with this, high-resolution optical or magnetic systems must have a pulse
clearance (or a grid spacing) of maximum 0.04 mm on the measuring standard.
Systems that do not have a high resolution (e.g. inductive, magnetic) must be designed to be
significantly more rugged and insensitive to pollution. With pulse clearances in the range of
approx. 1 mm on the measuring standard, these systems achieve measuring accuracies that
are still sufficient to address positioning accuracy specifications for a many applications.
In some instances, encoder systems also internally interpolate the measurement signal.
However, when being used on the drive system, this should be avoided as a result of the
highly accurate internal interpolation of the measurement signal in the SINAMICS sensor
modules.
Depending on the mechanical design of the machine regarding elasticity and natural
oscillation, depending on the velocity and grid spacing of the measuring standard, oscillation
can be excited and noise generated.
Using a high-resolution optical measuring system, generally, when compared to other
techniques, the best dynamic performance, highest control quality, high noise immunity,
precision and low noise can be achieved. Further, excitation of oscillation can be also
avoided.
Preconditions to achieve this include:
● The overall mechanical system, including motor and encoder mounting, permits this
● Extremely stiff dynamic machine design to avoid the excitation of low-frequency
Uncontrolled motor motion due to incorrect commutation
Note
General mechanical conditions
Take into account the permissible velocity, limit frequency of the encoder and Control Unit.
When configuring, mounting and adjusting the encoder refer to the appropriate
documentation issued by the manufacturer!
Mechanical integration of the encoder

Incorrect commutation can result in uncontrolled motor movements.
• Only carry out the work associated with replacing the encoder if you have been
appropriately trained.
• When replacing an encoder, ensure the correct commutation setting.
The mechanical integration of an encoder is defined by certain influencing factors, e.g.:
● The requirements specified by the encoder manufacturer (mounting specifications,
ambient conditions)
● The closed-motor control (commutation) requires an adequately accurate connection
between the motor and encoder without any play

● The closed-loop velocity and position control requires that the encoder is integrated into
the mechanical structure with the highest possible stiffness and lowest possible vibration.
● Using the encoder as a position measuring system for the machine precision requires that
the encoder is connected as close as possible to the process
In addition to selecting a suitable encoder, the performance of the machine axis is essentially
determined by the integration into the overall mechanical system.
As a consequence, a general recommendation for integrating the encoder cannot be given
for all encoder types and axis concepts.
To ensure that the encoder is optimally integrated into the mechanical system, Siemens
offers its "Mechatronic Support" service (see Catalog). For additional information, please
contact your local Siemens office. You can find the "Technical Support" Internet link in
Chapter "Introduction".
Three options for integrating an encoder are shown as example in the following example.
The Hall sensor box is used in incremental position measuring systems. It measures the
motor pole position duirng power-up so that the drive can carry out a reference point
approach (coarse synchronization). After the reference point approach, then a changeover
can be made to a pole position angle saved in the software (fine synchronization). A Hall
sensor box is required for motors for which, due to technical reasons, a software-based
detection of the pole position is not possible. The Hall sensor box is also required for large
gantry axes with 2 converters and 2 position measuring systems. Pole position identification
of the two motors is not always possible due to the rigid coupling and potential twisting.
The Hall sensor must be adjusted to the respective motor and its pole width and be mounted
at a certain position with respect to the primary section.
The selection of the Hall sensor box depends on:
● the motor type (050…150 or 300…900)
● the length of the motor (1N...2N... or 1W...2W...)
● the location in which the Hall sensor box is fitted (on or opposite the cable outlet side of
the primary section)
● the required cable outlet direction (in or perpendicular to the direction of travel)

Braking and emergency stop concepts
4.1 Motor components
Malfunctions can occur e.g. for:
● Power failure
● Encoder failure, encoder monitoring responds
● Higher-level control failure (e.g., NCU); bus failure
● Control Unit failure
● Drive fault
● Faults in the NC
The design and calculation of brake systems depends on the maximum kinetic energy, i.e.
on the maximum mass of the machine slide and its maximum velocity. The calculation can
therefore only be performed for a specific machine.
To ensure safe braking of the machine slide in the event of faults, adequately dimensioned
damping elements and devices must be used at the ends of the traversing paths. If there are
several slides on one axis, damping elements and devices must also be mounted between
the slides.
In order to reduce the kinetic energy of the slide before it hits the damping elements, the
following additional measures can also be applied (including in combinations):
1. Electrical braking using the energy in the DC link:
Consult the documentation of the drive system being used.
2. Electrical braking by short-circuiting the primary section (corresponds to an armature
short-circuit):
Also see the documentation of the drive system used.
Disadvantage:
characteristic in the chapter: "Technical data and characteristics (Page 165)") Shortcircuit braking is not suitable to completely brake the slides.
If electrical braking by short-circuiting the primary section is used, special contactors are
required because the currents can be very high. The enable timing for the drive system
must be taken into consideration.
3. Mechanical braking via braking elements:
The braking capacity must be dimensioned as highly as possible so that the slide can be
safely braked at maximum kinetic energy.
Disadvantage:
long, unbraked traversing distances.
We recommend that all three measures be implemented together. Measures (2) and (3) are
used as an additional protection here in case Measure (1) fails: The short-circuiting of the
primary section works at high velocities first and then the mechanical brake takes effect at
lower velocities.
The brake force depends on the speed (see the short-circuit braking
The relatively long response time of the brake control system leads to
