Connecting 6.2 Additional rules and regulations for operation Additional rules and regulations for operation 6.2.1 Safety extra-low-voltage (SELV, PELV) for failsafe modules Please note the following if you use distributed I/O (for example ET200SP) with failsafe modules: WARNING The failsafe components/modules must be operated with safety extra-low voltage (SELV, PELV).
Connecting 6.2 Additional rules and regulations for operation Requirements for power supplies in the event of voltage interruption Note To ensure adherence to IEC 61131-2, only use power packs/power supply units (24 V DC) with a mains buffering time of at least 20 ms. Please also note the requirements of the applicable standards regarding mains buffering time.
Page 77
Connecting 6.2 Additional rules and regulations for operation Additional sensor requirements General rule: A single-channel sensor is sufficient to achieve SIL3/Cat.3/PLd. However, to achieve SIL3/Cat.3/PLd with a single-channel sensor, the sensor itself must be SIL3/Cat.3/PLd-capable; otherwise, the sensor must be connected via two channels to achieve this safety level.
Page 78
Connecting 6.2 Additional rules and regulations for operation Additional requirements for actuators The fail-safe output modules test the outputs at regular intervals. The F-module briefly switches off the activated outputs and, if necessary, switches on the deactivated outputs. You can assign the maximum duration of the test pulses (dark and light period) with parameters.
Connecting 6.3 Electrical configuration 6.2.3 Capacitive crosstalk of digital input/output signals Readback errors may occur on the F-DQ modules if the fail-safe digital output signals and fail-safe digital input signals are routed through a single cable. Cause: Capacitive crosstalk During the bit pattern test of the outputs or the sensor supply of the inputs, the steep switching edge of the output drivers caused by the coupling capacitance of the line may result in crosstalk to other non-activated output or input channels.
● If necessary, signal and power cables may cross one another (if possible at an angle of 90°), but must never be laid close or parallel to one another. ● Only use cables approved by Siemens for the signal lines from and to the SIMATIC Drive Controller.
Connecting 6.5 Connecting the supply voltage Connecting the supply voltage 24 V DC power supply The SIMATIC Drive Controller is powered by an external 24 V DC power supply. Power supply units from the SITOP family, for example, can be used. WARNING Connection of an unsuitable power supply poses a danger to life from hazardous voltage Configure the 24 V direct voltage as protective extra-low voltage.
Use preassembled connecting cables for the connection. If you want to assemble the communication cables yourself, we recommend cables and RJ45 plug connectors from the Siemens FastConnect system. Note The X130 interface of the SIMATIC Drive Controller supports 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps.
Connecting 6.7 Digital inputs and digital inputs/outputs X122, X132 and X142 Digital inputs and digital inputs/outputs X122, X132 and X142 The digital inputs and digital inputs/outputs at interfaces X122, X132 and X142 are designed for the connection of sensors and actuators. The digital inputs and digital outputs at interfaces X122 and X132 are mainly assigned to SINAMICS Integrated.

Bus cable connector Physical connection between the bus node and the bus cable. Code block In SIMATIC S7, a code block is a block that contains a section of the STEP 7 user program. (in contrast to a data block, which contains only data) Configuration Systematic arrangement of the individual modules (configuration).

Cross-PLC synchronous operation This functionality allows you to create a master value source and a synchronous axis on different controllers. Cycle control point The cycle control point marks the end of a cycle and the start of the next cycle. The cycle time statistics and monitoring of the configured maximum cycle time start at the cycle control point.

Diagnostics Monitoring functions for the detection, localization, classification, display, and further evaluation of errors, faults, and alarms. They run automatically while the system is in operation. This increases the availability of systems by reducing commissioning times and downtimes. Diagnostics interrupt You can find relevant information in the entry "Interrupt, diagnostics".

DRIVE-CLiQ Abbreviation for Drive Component Link with IQ. This is a SINAMICS drive technology communication system for connecting the various drive components such as control unit, Line Modules, Motor Modules, motors and speed/positioning encoders. In terms of hardware, DRIVE-CLiQ is based on the Industrial Ethernet standard with twisted-pair lines. In addition to the send and receive signals, the +24 V power supply is also provided over the DRIVE-CLiQ line.

Functional ground The functional ground is a low-impedance current path between electric circuits and ground. It is not intended as a protective measure but rather, for example, for improvement of interference immunity. Ground Conductive ground whose electrical potential can be set to zero at any point. All interconnected, inactive parts of a piece of equipment that cannot accept any dangerous contact voltage, even in the event of a fault.

Instance data block Each call of a function block in the STEP 7 user program is assigned a data block, which is automatically generated. Values of the input, output and in/out parameters, as well as local block data, are stored in the instance data block. Interrupt The operating system of the CPU distinguishes between various priority classes that control the execution of the user program.
