2.1 Safety concept
The SINAMICS DCP is subject to a comprehensive safety concept which, when properly
implemented, ensures safe installation, operation, servicing, and maintenance.
The safety concept encompasses safety components and functions to protect the device and
operators.
●
Power contactors and fuses
●
The touch protection is ensured according to EN 61800-5-1
● Current converter protection by means of monitoring systems:
– Current monitoring
– Voltage monitoring
– Temperature monitoring of the heat sink
– Monitoring of the surrounding air temperature in the fan block
● Shutdown at a communication failure between the SINAMICS DCP and the higher-level
controller
All work associated with the transport, installation, commissioning, operation or maintenance
must be performed by qualified specialist personnel (skilled electricians according to EN
50110

3. Make sure that the equipment is in a no voltage condition
4. Ground and short-circuit
5. Cover or fence off adjacent components that are still live
The SINAMICS DCP may have live parts during operation.
Unauthorized removal of required covers, improper use, or incorrect installation or

CAUTION
Hot surfaces
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.

2.3 Notes on plant safety
The operating company is responsible for the plant safety.
Ensure that:
● Basic planning activities and all work associated with transport, assembly, installation,
commissioning, maintenance and repair are performed exclusively by qualified personnel
or by experts assigned responsibility.
● The entire product documentation must always be available for all of the work that is
performed.
● The technical data and specifications regarding the permissible installation, connection,
environmental and operating conditions are always consequentially observed.
● The setup and safety regulations specific to this machine are observed and personal
safety precautions taken.
● It is prohibited for unqualified persons to work on these devices or in their vicinity.
Electronic modules contain components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
These modules can be easily destroyed if they are not handled properly.
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given below.
● Never touch electronic modules unless absolutely necessary in the course of
maintenance and repair procedures.
● If the modules have to be touched, the body of the person concerned must be
electrostatically discharged immediately beforehand and be grounded.
● Electronic modules should not be brought into contact with electrically insulating materials
such as plastic foil, plastic parts, insulating table supports or clothing made of synthetic
fibers.
● Always place electrostatic sensitive devices on conductive bases.
● Always store and transport electronic modules or components in conductive packaging
(e.g. metallized plastic or metal containers).
The necessary ESD protective measures for electrostatically sensitive devices are illustrated
once again in the following drawings:

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.

There is a warning notice below the rating plate on the front cover about the hazardous
voltage present for up to 5 minute at the device after it has been disconnected from the
power supply.
