Inserting And Specifying Motors From The Motor List - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Commissioning Manual

Requirements
• A SINAMICS S120 Control Unit has been inserted in the device configuration.
• An infeed unit is inserted.
You can also add an infeed unit at a later point in time. In this case, you must manually wire
the infeed unit with the other components (see Chapter "Inserting an infeed unit
(placeholder) (Page 110)").
• A Motor Module or a Power Module is inserted.
• Optional: An encoder is inserted.

Inserting and specifying motors from the motor list

Overview
You insert motors from the hardware catalog into the device configuration and then specify
them in the inspector window. The following motor types are available for selection:
• DRIVE-CLiQ motors
Note
For DRIVE-CLiQ motors, when loading the project data (see Chapter "Loading the project data
into the converter (Page 242)") to the drive device, the motor and encoder data are
automatically read from the hardware being used. It is not possible (or necessary) to specify
the motor data at this point. However, for consistency reasons, after loading to a drive device
and reading from the hardware, ensure that the project data is again transferred to the
Startdrive project (see Chapter "Loading project data from the converter (Page 87)").
• Induction motors
• Synchronous motors
• Reluctance motors
• Motor data input
Manual recording of the motor data required (see Chapter "Inserting and specifying motors
that are missing from the motor list (Page 136)").
Procedure
Proceed as follows to insert and specify motors in your device configuration:
1. Open "Motors" in the hardware catalog.
2. Select the desired, unspecified motor in the device overview.
3. Drag the desired, unspecified motor to the lower area of the Motor Module.
4. Click the unspecified motor in the device view.
5. Open the inspector window if it has still not been opened or displayed.
