Overview
Regulations, standards and specifications
The motors comply with the appropriate standards and
regulations, see table below.
As a result of the fact that in many countries the national
regulations have been completely harmonized with the inter-
national IEC 60034-1 recommendation, there are no longer any
differences with respect to coolant temperatures, temperature
classes and temperature rise limits.
The motors listed below are UL-approved by Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. and also comply with Canadian cUR
standards:
SIMOTICS S-1FK7/1FT7/SIMOTICS T-1FW3/1FW6/
SIMOTICS M-1PH8 (without brake)/SIMOTICS L-1FN3/1FN6.
Degrees of protection for AC motors
A suitable degree of protection must be selected to protect
the machine against the following hazards depending on the
relevant operating and environmental conditions:
Ingress of water, dust and solid foreign objects,
Contact with or approach to rotating parts inside a motor and
Contact with or approach to live parts.
Degrees of protection of electric motors are specified by a code.
This comprises 2 letters, 2 digits and, if required, an additional
letter.
IP (International Protection)
Code letter designating the degree of protection against contact
and the ingress of solid foreign objects and water
0 to 6
1st digit designating the degree of touch protection and
protection against ingress of solid foreign objects
0 to 8
2nd digit designating the degree of protection against ingress of
water (no oil protection)
W, S and M
Additional code letters for special degrees of protection
Recommended degrees of protection for AC motors
When cooling lubricants are used, protection against water
alone is inadequate. The IP rating should only be considered
here as a guideline. The motors may have to be protected by
suitable covers. Attention must be paid to providing suitable
sealing of the motor shaft for the selected degree of protection
for the motor (for 1FT7: degree of protection IP67 and flange 0).
The table can serve as a decision aid for selecting the proper
degree of protection for motors. A permanent covering of liquid
on the flange must be avoided when the motor is mounted with
the shaft extension facing upwards (IM V3, IM V19).

(frequency range from 10 to 1000 Hz). The vibration severity is
measured using electrical measuring instruments in compliance
with DIN 45666.
The values indicated refer only to the motor. These values can
increase as a result of the overall system vibrational behavior
due to installation.
Vibration severity limit values for shaft heights 20 to 132
The speeds of 1800 rpm and 3600 rpm and the associated limit
values are defined according to IEC 60034-14. Speeds of
4500 rpm and 6000 rpm and the specified values are defined by
the motor manufacturer.
The motors maintain vibration severity grade A up to rated

Overview (continued)
Balancing according to DIN ISO 8821
In addition to the balance quality of the motor, the vibration
quality of motors with mounted belt pulleys and coupling is
essentially determined by the balance quality of the mounted
component.
If the motor and mounted component are separately balanced
before they are assembled, then the process used to balance
the belt pulley or coupling must be adapted to the motor balanc-
ing type. The following different balancing methods are used on
motors of types SIMOTICS M-1PH8:
Half-key balancing
Full-key balancing
Plain shaft extension
The letter H (half key) or F (full key) is printed on the shaft exten-
sion face to identify a half-key balanced or a full-key balanced
SIMOTICS M-1PH8 motor.
SIMOTICS S-1FT7/1FK7 motors with feather key are always
half-key balanced.
In general, motors with a plain shaft are recommended for
systems with the most stringent vibrational quality requirements.
For full-key balanced motors, we recommend belt pulleys with
two opposite keyways, but only one feather key in the shaft
extension.
Vibration stress, immitted vibration values
The following maximum permissible vibration stress limits at full
functionality apply only to the SIMOTICS S-1FT7/1FK7 perma-
nent-magnet servomotors and SIMOTICS T-1FW3 torque motors.
Vibration stress according to DIN ISO 10816:
•1 g at 20 Hz to 2 kHz
For all main motors of type SIMOTICS M-1PH8, the following
limits are valid for (immitted) vibration values introduced into the
motor from outside:
For all torque motors of type SIMOTICS T-1FW3, the following
limits are valid for (immitted) vibration values introduced into the
motor from outside:
Coolant temperature (ambient temperature) and
installation altitude
Operation (unrestricted): -15 °C to +40 °C (5 °F to 104 °F)
The rated power (rated torque) is applicable to continuous duty
(S1) according to EN 60034-1 at rated frequency, a coolant
temperature of 40 °C (104 °F) and an installation altitude of
1000 m (3281 ft) above sea level.
Apart from the SIMOTICS M-1PH8 motors, all motors are de-
signed for temperature class 155 (F) and utilized according to
temperature class 155 (F). The SIMOTICS M-1PH8 motors are
designed for temperature class 180 (H). For all other conditions,
the factors given in the table below must be applied to determine
the permissible output (torque).
The coolant temperature and installation altitude are rounded to
5 °C and 500 m (1640 ft) respectively.

Overview (continued)
Motor protection
The KTY84-130 temperature sensor is used to measure the
motor temperature for converter-fed motor operation.
This sensor is a semi-conductor that changes its resistance
depending on temperature in accordance with a defined curve.
Siemens converters determine the motor temperature using the
resistance of the temperature sensor.
Their parameters can be set for specific alarm and shutdown
temperatures.
The SIMOTICS L-1FN3/-1FN6 and SIMOTICS T-1FW6 motors are
additionally equipped with PTC sensors (PTC elements). In
these motor series, evaluation is performed using the
SME120/SME125 Sensor Module External or TM120 Terminal
Module (see SINAMICS S120 drive system).
The KTY84-130 temperature sensor is embedded in the winding
overhang of the motor like a PTC thermistor.
The sensor is evaluated in the SINAMICS S120 drive system as
a standard function.
If the motors are operated on converters that do not feature a
KTY84 evaluation circuit, the temperature can be measured with
the external 3RS1040 temperature monitoring relay. For a de-
tailed description, please see Catalog IC 10 or Siemens Industry

Built-in encoder systems without DRIVE-CLiQ interface
For motors without an integrated DRIVE-CLiQ interface, the
analog encoder signal in the drive system is converted into a
digital signal. For these motors as well as external encoders, the
encoder signals must be connected to SINAMICS S120 via
Sensor Modules.
Built-in encoder systems with DRIVE-CLiQ interface
For motors with an integrated DRIVE-CLiQ interface, the analog
encoder signal is internally converted to a digital signal. There is
no further conversion of the encoder signal in the drive system.
The motor-internal encoders are the same encoders that are
used for motors without a DRIVE-CLiQ interface. Motors with a
DRIVE-CLiQ interface simplify the commissioning and diagnos-
tics, for example, due to automatic identification of the encoder
system.
The different encoder types, incremental, absolute or resolver,
are uniformly connected with one type of
MOTION-CONNECT DRIVE-CLiQ cable.
Short designations for the encoder systems
The first letters of the short designation define the encoder type.
This is followed by the resolution in signals per revolution if S/R
is specified (for encoders without DRIVE-CLiQ interface) or in
bits if DQ is specified (for encoders with DRIVE-CLiQ interface).

Multi-turn absolute encoder
This encoder outputs an absolute angular position between 0°
and 360° in the specified resolution. An internal measuring
gearbox enables it to differentiate 4096 revolutions.
So with a ball screw, for example, the absolute position of the
slide can be determined over a long distance.
Multi-turn absolute encoder
Single-turn absolute encoder
This encoder outputs an absolute angular position between 0°
and 360° in the specified resolution. In contrast to the multi-turn
absolute encoder, it has no measuring gearbox and can there-
fore only supply the position value within one revolution. It does
not have a traversing range.

Overview (continued)
Incremental encoder
This encoder senses relative movements and does not supply
absolute position information. In combination with evaluation
logic, a zero point can be determined using the integrated refer-
ence mark, which can be used to calculate the absolute posi-
tion.
Incremental encoder IC/IN (sin/cos)
The encoder outputs sine and cosine signals. These can be
interpolated using evaluation logic (usually 2048 points) and the
direction of rotation can be determined.
In the version with DRIVE-CLiQ interface, this evaluation logic is
already integrated in the encoder.
Commutation position
The position of the rotor is required for commutation of a syn-
chronous motor. Encoders with commutation position (also
termed C and D track) detect the angular position of the rotor.
Incremental encoder IC/IN (sin/cos), commutation position only for IC
HTL incremental encoder
The encoder outputs square wave signals. The direction of
rotation can be evaluated by means of edge evaluation.
The resolution is four times the number of encoder pulses.
This encoder type is preferred for long signal cables.

Overview (continued)
Resolver
The number of sine and cosine periods per revolution corre-
sponds to the number of pole pairs of the resolver. In the case of
a 2-pole resolver, the evaluation electronics may output an addi-
tional zero pulse per encoder revolution. This zero pulse ensures
a unique assignment of the position information in relation to an
encoder revolution. A 2-pole resolver can therefore be used as
a single-turn encoder.
2-pole resolvers can be used for motors with any number of pairs
of poles. In the case of multi-pole resolvers, the number of pairs
of poles of the motor and resolver are always the same. The
resolution is correspondingly higher than with 2-pole resolvers.
