SINAMICS DC MASTER Migration Guide
Reference Manual, 06/2015, A5E35776390A/RS-AA/001;1 11
SINAMICS DC MASTER – an overview of the
highlights
SINAMICS DC MASTER devices address all industrial applications involving low-voltage DC
drive technology. The open-design closed-loop control structure offers allows users to
optimally adapt the drive control to their particular requirements.
SINAMICS DC MASTER offers the following highlights:
● UL certification (for all devices up to 575 V)
● Marine certification
● 6 devices can be connected in parallel to increase the power rating and achieve
redundancy (n + m operation)
If a power unit fails, then the remaining functional SINAMICS DC MASTER devices
continue to operate without any interruption.
● The power rating can be extended with engineered solutions, up to 60 kA and more in a
cabinet design (12 pulse)
● Control Modules for retrofit drive projects and for high current rectifiers in electrochemical
applications up to 100 kA
● Rated input voltages from 3 AC 50 V up to 950 V
● Single-phase connection (110 V to 575 V AC) for devices up to 125 A
● Extended temperature range for transport and storage (-40 °C up to +70 °C)
● The DC motor insulation resistance can be measured without having to disconnect the
motor from the DC converter
● SIMOREG CCP to protect against inverter commutation faults
● Optimized cooling and service concept (optional, single-phase, quieter, integrated
operating hours counter)
● The memory card can be used to save the project, update the firmware and for series
commissioning
● Offline and online long-term traces
● Field power supply that complies with requirements
– Without field (for devices from 60 A rated armature current, with price reduction)
– With 1Q field (up to 85 A rated field current)
– With 2Q field and active current reduction, including field overvoltage protection (for
devices with 60 A rated armature current and above)
● DCC for demanding closed-loop control tasks
● Free function blocks the standard (no option S00)
● Onboard encoder interfaces
● Integrated electronics power supply for 24 V DC (option L05)
