SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (SINAMICS DCC)
■
Overview
SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (SINAMICS DCC) expands the
scope of device functions by means of freely available closed-
loop control, arithmetic and logic blocks and offers a means by
which technological functions can be graphically configured in
the SINAMICS 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.
SINAMICS DCC provides users with greater scope to adapt
these systems to the specific functions of their machines.
SINAMICS 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.
SINAMICS DCC is available for the following SINAMICS drive
systems:
•
SINAMICS G130
•
SINAMICS G150
•
SINAMICS S120
•
SINAMICS S150
•
SINAMICS DCM
•
SINAMICS DCP
•
SINAMICS GM150
•
SINAMICS SM150
•
SINAMICS GL150
•
SINAMICS SL150
The user-friendly DCC editor enables easy graphics-based
configuration, allows control loop structures to be clearly
represented 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, arith-
metic and logic blocks, as well as comprehensive open-loop
and closed-loop control functions.
For logically combining, evaluating and acquiring binary
signals, all commonly used logic functions are available for
selection (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,
PI controllers, ramp-function generators or wobble generators
are simple to configure.
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 that can be
used as an additional, independent library in the DCC Editor.
DCB Extension provides new motion control blocks as a GMC
library and blocks for supplementary mathematical and logical
functions as a Math Extended library.
Using these blocks, it is possible to implement the following
applications with SINAMICS DCC:
• Positioning
•
1:1 synchronous operation
• Gearing
•
Gearing and positioning
• Camming
•
Flying saws
•
Cross cutters
•
Calculation of trigonometric or logarithmic functions
These applications are available for downloading from 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.
SINAMICS DCC provides a convenient basis for resolving drive-
level open-loop and closed-loop control tasks directly in the
converter. 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
SINAMICS DCC comprises the graphical configuring tool
(DCC Editor) and the DCB standard library. SINAMICS DCC is
installed as an add-on to the STARTER commissioning tool.
The necessary engineering license for each PC (floating) for
SINAMICS 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 SINAMICS DCC V2.1 and V2.2 SP1 and
V2.3 are also valid for SINAMICS DCC V2.3 SP1.
An upgrade variant including an engineering license for
applications with STARTER V4.4 SP1 is available for existing
SINAMICS DCC V2.0 SPx.
The blocks of the DCB Extension library are also configured with
the graphical configuring tool (DCC Editor). Use of these blocks
requires a runtime license.
