CAUTION Electro-statically sensitive devices The converter contains electro-statically sensitive devices. These can easily be destroyed if they are not handled correctly. If, however, it is absolutely essential for you to work on electronic modules, please pay careful attention to the following instructions: •...
Their compact design makes them particularly easy to service and maintain since individual components are readily accessible. All SINAMICS DCM units are equipped with a BOP20 “Basic operator panel” mounted in the converter cover. The BOP20 has a backlit two-line display area and 6 keys. It may be used to acknowledge faults, set parameters and read diagnostic information.
“wired up” and changed by parameters. 2.3 Rated DC current • The rating plate of the SINAMICS DCM Base drive panel has the rated Armature current listed of the output rating for IEC DC I constant duty rating.

DC I through DC IV rated at 40˚C • DC I — Continuous Duty without no overloads possible • DC II — Continuous rating with 150% overload for 60 seconds with a 15 minute cool down below base load current setting •...
(continued) 2.4 Expandable functionality using SINAMICS components One of the many features of the SINAMICS DCM Base Drive is its ability to expand its functionality modularly through the use of coupling supplementary modules from the SINAMICS drives family to the DRIVE-CLiQ interface. Modules include digital, analog I/O, external encoder and communications options.
All horsepower ratings above are calculated using the DC II continuous rating with 150% overload for one minute, the result is rounded down to the nearest NEMA DC motor horsepower rating. Amp ratings for the 6RA80 SINAMICS DCM Base Drives are based upon DC I continuous ratings with no overload capability. NOTE All SINAMICS DCM base drives are provided with the Advanced CUD and CBE20 cards installed.

SINAMICS DCM Base Drive panel. IMPORTANT When SINAMICS DCM Base Drive panels are installed into enclosures, make sure the temperature inside does not exceed the (Operational Ambient Temperature) rating of 40 or 45º C depending on the unit size, otherwise de-rate the DC current rating per the table below.
6) Requirements to achieve control stability The control stability (closed-loop PI control) is referred to the rated motor speed and applies when the SINAMICS DCM is in the warm operating condition. This is based upon the following pre-conditions: • Temperature changes of ±10° K.
CAUTION Failure to lift the SINAMICS DCM Base Drive panel in the correct manner can result in bodily injury and/or property damage. The SINAMICS DCM Base Drive panel must be lifted using suitable equipment and under the instruction of appropriately qualified personnel.
The unit must always be operated with the standard front covers in place. The user is responsible for ensuring that the motor, SINAMICS DCM Base Drive panel and other devices are installed and connected up in accordance with the approved codes of practice of the country concerned and any other regional or local codes that may apply.
