Advanced Technology Functions
The Advanced Technology Functions are the clear differentiating
feature between the SINAMICS product families of
SINAMICS G120 with the CU2xx-2 Control Units and
SINAMICS S120 with the CU3x0-2 Control Units.
The Advanced Technology Functions are available only for
SINAMICS S120:
•
SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (DCC)
•
SINAMICS Technology Extensions (TEC)
The Advanced Technology Functions are characterized by
maximum flexibility and performance whereby extremely indivi-
dual and, at the same time, efficient solutions can be achieved.
Advanced Technology Functions
SINAMICS DCC comprises the block library, so-called DCB
Drive Control Blocks and the DCC Editor for graphical inter-
connection of blocks. SINAMICS DCC is primarily employed to
solve arithmetic and control-related tasks or logic functions
associated with complex applications.
In addition to the DCB Standard library, the DCB Extension
library can also be used to create applications.
The DCB Extension library is comprised of freely programmable
blocks which are created for specific applications using DCB
Studio and are then graphically interconnected with the DCC
Editor in a similar fashion to standard blocks.
SINAMICS Technology Extensions (TECs) are configurable
firmware expansions that are specifically created for use in a
customized application with special requirements. This func-
tionality can therefore be subsequently installed as an add-on to
the standard scope of firmware functions. One example of a
SINAMICS TEC is the VIBX vibration extinction for storage and
retrieval systems.
The functional scope of Advanced Technology Functions is
scalable and flexible. Depending on the task, you can choose
between configurable solutions provided by Siemens or freely
created proprietary solutions in the drive.
Depending on the technology function, a license may be
required for the application (
see Part "Control Units and
CompactFlash Card"
).
