Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified
personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding
potential hazards when working with these products/systems.
Proper use of Siemens products

Risk of death if the safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully observed
If the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed in the associated hardware
documentation, accidents involving severe injuries or death can occur.
● Observe the safety instructions given in the hardware documentation.
● Consider the residual risks for the risk evaluation.
WARNING
Danger to life or malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed
parameterization
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn
can lead to injuries or death.
● Protect the parameterization (parameter assignments) against unauthorized access.
● Respond to possible malfunctions by applying suitable measures (e.g. EMERGENCY
STOP or EMERGENCY OFF).

Note
Industrial security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly that
you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should also
be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit this address (http://
www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
To stay informed about product updates as they occur, sign up for a product-specific
newsletter. For more information, visit this address (http://support.automation.siemens.com).

1.2 Industrial security
WARNING
Danger as a result of unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation
Software manipulation (e.g. by viruses, Trojan horses, malware, worms) can cause unsafe
operating states to develop in your installation which can result in death, severe injuries and/
or material damage.
● Keep the software up to date.
You will find relevant information and newsletters at this address (http://
support.automation.siemens.com).
● Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept for the installation or machine.
You will find further information at this address (http://www.siemens.com/

Introduction
The topics of energy efficiency and energy saving are also playing an increasingly important
role in the machine tool environment.
With SINUMERIK Ctrl-Energy, Siemens is offering an extensive range of components,
functions, software tools and services to increase the efficiency of machine tools.
Ctrl-Energy
You will find an overview of the complete range of functions under the following link:
www.siemens.com/sinumerik/ctrl-energy
Acquisition, evaluation, and control of energy consumption
The functions Ctrl-E Analysis to acquire and evaluate the energy consumption of the machine
and Ctrl-E Profiles, to control energy-saving states of the machine are available in SINUMERIK
Operate. Additional energy-saving functions or user know-how on this topic can be added in
this area of SINUMERIK Operate.

Introduction

10System Manual, 01/2015, 6FC5397-0EP40-5BA2
Ctrl-E Analysis
In order to sensitize users to the topic of energy efficiency, the power and energy data of the
machine are first acquired.
Acquiring and evaluating energy consumption
A control system with SINUMERIK Operate without a connected measuring instrument
determines the power directly from the drives and displays this.
Additional consumption-relevant data can be retrieved and displayed at the control using the
additional SENTRON PAC Power Monitoring Device.
Depending on where the SENTRON PAC measuring transducer is installed, you have the
possibility of either measuring the power of the whole machine or only a specific load.
With an integrated measuring function, the energy consumption during a measuring period
can be acquired for all drives together with an additional measuring location – and the electrical
power drawn for a selected load can be recorded with respect to time.
Display of energy consumption
● The user can see a graphic of the current power consumption in the first status line of the
"Machine" operating area.
3
● Additionally, in the Ctrl-Energy initial display the user is shown the consumption in the form
of colored bars, which indicate the current power and the results of today's and yesterday's
long time measurement.
Maximum measuring time
The maximum measuring time for energy between start and stop as well as for an NC part
program is, as a result of the trace recording, 922 seconds (00:15:22).

Hardware components
You require the following hardware in order to be able to use all of the "Ctrl-Energy" functions:
● The expansion modules must be temporarily removed in order to upgrade the firmware
using powerconfig.
● Protection/fusing of the supply and measuring voltages according to Configuration Manual
● Expansion module PAC PROFINET; order number 7KM 9300-0AE01-0AA0
● Expansion module PAC PROFIBUS; order number 7KM 9300-0AB01-0AA0
● PC software powerconfig (≥ V2.2)
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/50246395
● Current transformer depending on
– the connection type at the SENTRON PAC
– Accuracy requirements
– Currents
DANGER
Open current transformer circuits result in electric shock and arcing
If not observed, will cause death, serious injury or considerable property damage.
Only measure the current using external current transformers. DO NOT protect the
circuits using a fuse. Do not open the secondary circuit of the current transformer under
load. Short circuit the secondary current terminals of the current transformer before
removing this device. The safety information for the current transformers used must
be carefully followed.

3.1 SENTRON PAC3200/4200
For a three-phase measurement according to connection type 3P4W (four conductors,
unbalanced load, without voltage transformers, with three current transformers), accuracy
class 1, primary rated current 100 A, secondary rated current 1A, three window-type
transformers are recommended (4NC5117-0CC20).
Note
When measuring the complete machine, it is recommended that the current is sensed directly
after the main switch. For the voltage tap, please observe the usual protection/fusing.
