SINAMICS S120 drive system
0.12 kW to 250 kW (0.16 hp to 400 hp)
Drive Control Chart (DCC)
■
Overview
Drive Control Chart (DCC) expands the scope of device func-
tions by means of freely available closed-loop control, calcu-
lation and logic modules and offers a means by which techno-
logical functions can be graphically configured in the
SINAMICS S120 drive system. SINAMICS DCC is the first stage
of the Advanced Technology Function and is installed as an
add-on to the STARTER commissioning tool.
For users, DCC opens up a new dimension regarding the adapt-
ability of the systems mentioned to the specific functions of their
machines. DCC does not limit the number of functions that can
be used. The number of functions is limited only by the perfor-
mance capability of the Control Unit.
The user-friendly DCC Editor enables easy graphics-based
configuration, allows control loop structures to be clearly repre-
sented and provides a high degree of reusability of diagrams
that have already been created.
The open-loop and closed-loop control functions are defined by
using multi-instance-capable blocks (Drive Control Blocks
(DCBs)) from a library (DCB library) that are selected and graph-
ically linked with one another by dragging and dropping. Test
and diagnostic functions allow the program behavior to be
verified and, in the case of a fault, the cause identified.
Two types of DCB library are available, i.e. DCB Standard and
DCB Extension. The DCB Standard library supplied with
SINAMICS DCC contains a large selection of closed-loop,
arithmetic and logic blocks, as well as comprehensive open-
loop and closed-loop control functions.
For logically combining, evaluating and acquiring binary sig-
nals, all commonly used logic functions are available for selec-
tion (AND, XOR, on/off delay, RS flipflop, counter, etc.). A wide
range of arithmetic functions, such as absolute value generation,
dividers and minimum/maximum evaluation are available to
monitor and evaluate numerical quantities. In addition to the
closed-loop drive control, axial winder functions, closed-loop PI
controllers, ramp-function generators or wobble generators can
be configured simply and easily.
In addition to the standard library, the DCB Extension library is
also available with SINAMICS DCC, firmware version V4.6 and
higher. This contains an extended range of blocks and can be
used as an additional, independent library in the DCC Editor.
DCB Extension provides new motion control blocks in the motion
control library GMC.
Using these blocks, it is possible to implement the following
positioning and synchronous operation functions with DCC in
the SINAMICS S120 drive system:
• Positioning
•
1:1 synchronous operation
• Gearing
•
Gearing and positioning
• Camming
These applications are available to download from the Internet
on the Siemens Application Support pages at
/sinamics-applications
With the blocks provided by DCB Extension, it is also possible to
commission the programming of user-specific blocks.
Drive Control Chart for SINAMICS S120 therefore provides a
convenient basis for resolving drive-level open-loop and closed-
loop control tasks directly in the inverter. This further extends the
possibility of adapting SINAMICS to the particular application.
Local data processing in the drive supports the implementation
of modular machine concepts and results in an increase in the
overall machine performance.

Selection and ordering data
DCC comprises the graphical configuring tool (DCC Editor) and
the DCB standard library. DCC is installed in coordination with
the STARTER commissioning tool.
The necessary engineering license for each PC (floating) for
DCC is acquired at the same time the order is placed. No
runtime license is required for the DCB standard library included
in the scope of supply.
Existing licenses for DCC V2.1 and V2.2 SP1 are also valid for
DCC V2.3.
An upgrade variant for the engineering license is available for
DCC V2.0.
