2.2 Notes on operator protection
High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are not observed or if the
equipment is handled improperly.
As soon as the DC link or the battery is connected, dangerous DC voltages are present.
When the SINAMICS DCP is in operation, high voltages occur, and can remain present for
a longer period after the equipment is switched off.
Make sure that work is only carried out by qualified personnel under strict observance of
the five safety rules, the warning notices in this documentation, and the safety-relevant
instructions.
After disconnection of the supply voltage, voltages are still present in the SINAMICS DCP
devices that could result in death or serious injury.
After you have switched off the power supply, strictly observe the discharge time of the DC
link capacitors of 5 minute before you perform any maintenance work or repair work and do
not touch the device during this period.
Measure the voltage once the discharge time has elapsed.
During operation, the temperature of some components increases significantly; for
example, heat sinks, reactors, semiconductor modules etc.
These components can remain very hot for some time after operation. Serious injury
(scalding) may occur if you come into contact with these components.
Do not touch hot components even after you have switched off the SINAMICS DCP.
Electromagnetic radiation during operation of the plant
2.2 Notes on operator protection
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
equipment, such as transformers, converters, and motors.
Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, which could cause them to
malfunction.
For example, the operation of heart pacemakers can be impaired, potentially leading to
damage to a person's health or even death. Steps must be taken, therefore, to ensure that
persons with heart pacemakers cannot enter these areas.
The plant operator is responsible for taking appropriate measures (labels and hazard
warnings) to adequately protect operating personnel and others against any possible risk.
● Observe the relevant nationally applicable health and safety regulations or the applicable
national regulations in the country of installation.
● Display adequate hazard warning notices on the installation.
● Place barriers around hazardous areas.
● Take measures, e.g. using shields, to reduce electromagnetic fields at their source.
● Make sure that personnel are wearing the appropriate protective gear.

Area of application
Design
A SINAMICS DCP is used to control the electrical power flow between two direct current
systems. The device can be operated with current control or voltage control.
The main application of the SINAMICS DCP is to control the electrical power flow:
● from a DC link (the input side, terminals P1 and N1) into a stationary battery (the output
● from a battery (the output side, terminals P2 and N2) back to the DC link (the input side,
The power flow in both directions (from the DC link to the battery and from the battery to the
DC link) is called bidirectional.
side, terminals P2 and N2).
terminals P1 and N1).
The voltages in the two DC circuits are independent of one another.
The electrical power flow, controlled by a signed current setpoint specification, is possible
irrespective of the voltages in the two DC circuits (in the nominal range).
The integration of a SINAMICS DCP in a complete technical system is illustrated in Chapter
Block diagram with connection suggestion (Page 40).
The SINAMICS DCP are compact devices and contain power units and open-loop/closedloop control electronics.
The open-loop/closed-loop control electronics comprise several modules.
The module visible when the front plate is removed is called CUD (Control Unit DC).
LEDs are fitted on the CUD and other modules. They are not visible externally. They are not
relevant for the user, they are only used for diagnostics by SIEMENS experts.
The power units are made up of semiconductor switches; the heat sink is grounded.
The devices are forced-ventilated, the air flow is from the bottom to the top.
The minus cable is led from the input to the output, the current is controlled in the plus
branch.
The devices are only approved for cabinet mounting, vertical installation.
Communication with the devices is via fieldbus (PROFIBUS or PROFINET) during normal
operation and STARTER for the parameter assignment and diagnostics.
The rating plate contains the most important technical data and the serial number.
It is attached to the front cover.

Image 5-3 120 kW device with mounted transport aid
The 120 kW device is delivered with 3 metal brackets, which are used as a transport aid (in
figure 5-3, shown in red). These have to be removed before mounting and disposed of as
scrap metal.
All connection work must be carried out while the cabinet is de-energized.
Only qualified personnel who are familiar with all the safety instructions in these Operating
Instructions, as well as the assembly, installation, operating, and maintenance instructions,
should carry out work on these units.
Failure to observe this warning information can result in death, serious injury, or extensive
material damage.
Connecting the unit incorrectly can lead to it being damaged or destroyed.
When handling the unit while it is open, remember that live parts are exposed. The unit
must only be operated with the front covers provided by the factory fitted. When required,
additional covers should be provided in the control cabinet.
This product can cause a direct current in the protective ground conductor. When a residual
current device (RCD) or a residual current monitor (RCM) is used for protection in the event
of direct or indirect contact, only an RCD or RCM of type B is permissible on the power
supply side of this product.
EMC stands for "electromagnetic compatibility" and describes "the capability of a device to
function satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment without itself causing interference
unacceptable for other devices in the environment". Therefore, the various units used should
not cause interference to one another.
Within the context of the EMC Directive, the SINAMICS DCP units described in this
document are not "units" at all, but are instead "components" that are intended to be
installed in an overall system or overall plant. For reasons of clarity, however, the generic
term "units" is used in many cases.
EMC is dependent upon two properties demonstrated by the units involved in the system:
interference emissions and interference immunity. Electrical units may be sources of
interference (senders) and/or potentially susceptible equipment (receivers). Electromagnetic
compatibility is ensured when the existing sources of interference do not impair the function
of potentially susceptible equipment.
A unit may even be a source of interference and potentially susceptible equipment at the
same time: For example, the power unit of a converter should be viewed as a source of
interference and the control unit as potentially susceptible equipment.
EN 61800-3 defines different limits depending on the installation site of the system, referred
to as the first and second environments.

This unit is subject to hazardous voltage levels and contains dangerous rotating machine
parts (fans). Failure to comply with these Operating Instructions can lead to death, serious
injury and material damage.
Only qualified personnel who are familiar with all the safety instructions in this description,
as well as the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions, should carry out work
on this unit.
Perfect, safe and reliable operation of the equipment assumes that it has been
professionally transported, stored, mounted and installed as well as correct operation and
servicing.
Even when all contactors are open, the device is still subject to dangerous electrical voltage
levels. The internal DC-link capacitors may still be charged. Before starting any service or
maintenance work, disconnect the device on both power unit sides (P1/N1 and P2/N2).
To operate the SINAMICS DCP, the front cover fixing screw must be tight.
These instructions are not exhaustive and, as such, cannot outline all the measures
required in order to operate the device safely. Where necessary, additional information or
instructions may be required for special applications. If you encounter specific problems
that have not been handled in enough detail for the purposes of the buyer, then please
contact your local Siemens office.
The use of non-approved parts for carrying out repair work on the device or handling of the
device by inadequately qualified personnel will result in dangerous conditions with the risk
of death, serious injury, or extensive damage to equipment. All safety measures listed in
these Operating Instructions, as well as all warning signs attached to the device, must be
followed.
Observe all the warning notices in Chapter Safety notes (Page 15) of these Operating
Instructions.
Before coming into contact with modules (and in particular the CUDs), the operator must be
electrostatically discharged in order to protect electronic components against high voltages
that are produced by electrostatic charging. The easiest way to do this is to touch a
conductive, grounded object immediately beforehand (for example, bare metal parts of
control cabinet).
Modules must not come into contact with highly insulating materials (such as plastic sheets,
insulated desktops, or articles of clothing manufactured from synthetic fibers).
Modules may be placed only on conductive surfaces.
During a data save operation initiated by the user, the electronics power supply for the
SINAMICS DCP must not be interrupted.
An active data save operation is indicated by the following

During ramp-up, the status of the ramp-up is briefly displayed on the BOP20.
The states listed above are automatically run through during the commissioning and are
normally not visible.
In the following exceptional cases, ramp-up is interrupted with display value 33. In this state,
the device can be parameterized via BOP20 and via STARTER:
● Differences have been identified between the reference and actual topology.
– Correct the topology (e.g. re-insert the TM component).
– Accept the actual topology into the reference topology by setting p9905=1 or p9905=2.
Ramp-up is continued.
● A memory card with a parameter data set which comes from a SINAMICS DCP with a
different MLFB, is inserted in the device.
– Accept the parameter data set by setting p9906=3. Ramp-up is continued.

the drive object + parameter number + index, with the following notation:
To make these easier to read, in this chapter the drive object specification has been omitted
from all parameters belonging to the "Drive control" drive object (= drive object 2).
For example, the specification p50076[1] refers to parameter (2)p50076[1] (= drive object 2,
parameter 50076, index 1).
