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 proprietary technological functions can be graphically
configured in the SINAMICS drive system. In addition, local data
processing in the drive supports the implementation of modular
machine concepts and results in an increase in the overall ma-
chine performance. SINAMICS DCC is a part of the Advanced
Technology Function, and is installed as an add-on to the
STARTER commissioning tool.
SINAMICS DCC provides users with greater integral scope to
adapt 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 and SINAMICS G150
•
SINAMICS S120 and SINAMICS S150
•
SINAMICS DCM and SINAMICS DCP
•
SINAMICS GM150 and SINAMICS SM150
•
SINAMICS GL150 and SINAMICS SL150
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
graphically 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 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.
SINAMICS DCC also offers the DCB Extension library from firm-
ware version V4.6 and higher. This contains an extended range
of blocks that is used as an additional, independent library in the
DCC Editor. It includes the GMC and Math Extended library.
The GMC contains Motion Control blocks (GEAR, POSMC,
CAMD, etc.).
With Math Extended, supplementary mathematical and logical
function blocks (ASIN, ACOS, ATAN, LOG, etc.) are made
available.
These libraries are ready for downloading along with application
examples from the Siemens Application Support website.
Further information can be found in the Drive Applications
section.
As well as the option of using the libraries made available by
DCB Extension, DCB Extension proprietary libraries can also be
created with custom-programmed blocks. These blocks and
libraries are programmed with the separate SINAMICS DCB
Studio development tool in the C/C++ high-level language and
can be used as your own DCB Extension Library in the DCC
editor. Use of these blocks as DCB extensions requires a runtime
license.
The separate SINAMICS DCB Studio development tool is re-
quired for programming the blocks and generating the library as
a DCB Extension.

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, V2.2 SP1 and V2.3
SPx are also valid for SINAMICS DCC V2.4 SP1.
An upgrade version including an engineering license for
applications with STARTER V4.5 SP1 is available for existing
SINAMICS DCC V2.0 SPx.
