1 Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview Introduction The standard application is intended for all users, and who have no possibility in their system for feeding back regenerative energy who cannot use a standard braking chopper as the power generated when braking is too high Overview of the application The following diagram provides an overview of the application. Fig. 1-1 application overview DC-link Energy flow Line Module Power supply Braking chopper Description of the application The application provides a solution for connecting a braking unit to the DC link. When a DC link voltage threshold is exceeded, this automatically dissipates the excess energy to protect the components against overvoltage. Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 4

1 Introduction 1.2 Principle of operation 1.2.1 Overview of the overall solution Energy that is generated, which the DC link can no longer absorb, is automatically detected by the Motor Module operating as braking chopper - and is dissipated via the braking resistors. With the help of this configuration an overcharging of the DC link along with the associated overvoltage trip is avoided. The braking chopper automatically shuts down if there is no longer any braking energy. Schematic The following schematic shows the most important components of the solution: Fig. 1-2 Components needed for the Application Infeed MoMo double MoMo single MoMo double Braking resistors Motors In an axis group with several motors, energy that is generated when braking is fed back into the DC link (motors in such a group change between operating as motors and generators). Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 5

1 Introduction If this energy is not directly used by the other drives not fed back into the line supply because an infeed unit is being used that is not capable of energy recovery not fed back into the line supply because an infeed unit capable of energy recovery that is being used has failed due to a line fault the energy must be dissipated using braking resistors in order to protect the DC link components against overvoltage. Advantages The application described here offers you the following advantages: Saving the costs of an infeed unit capable of energy recovery Axes can be reliably and safely stopped when the line supply fails Can replace several Braking Modules Demarcation It is assumed that readers have basic knowledge of these topics. Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 6

1 Introduction 1.2.2 Description of the core functionality The braking chopper includes the power electronics and the associated control circuit. In operation, the excess DC link energy is converted into heat (power loss) in the braking resistors. Users must integrate and parameterize the program and dimension the components - which depend on the conditions related to the application.

2 Engineering 2 Engineering 2.1 Design SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules in the booksize format can be used as 3-phase braking choppers. The use as braking chopper is always recommended for applications which require extremely high braking powers - and especially high continuous braking powers. The precondition is that the braking operations are not high dynamic, as the response time is approximately 4-5 ms - approximately twice that of the response time of the SINAMICS Braking Modules. This is the reason that for fast braking operations additional booksize format Braking Modules should always be used that bridge this delay time. SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules, which operate as 3-phase braking chopper, are connected to the DC busbar, fused/protected and pre-charged, just like Motor Modules in a standard application. The arrangement within the drive group should, if possible, be realized at the location where the highest amount of regenerative energy is injected - i.e. if possible, next to the Motor Modules that supply the highest regenerative energy. At the output of the Motor Module, which operates as braking chopper three identical R BR braking resistors - instead of a motor - are connected in a star configuration, which form a symmetrical ohmic load. These can be implemented as three individual resistors in separate housings or as symmetrical three-phase resistor in one housing. Unsymmetrical or single-phase resistor arrangements are not permitted. Fig. 2-1 Arrangement of the braking resistors The temperature switches (NC contacts) to thermally monitor the three braking resistors are connected in series, and can be monitored by the Motor Module. The minimum cable length to the braking resistors is 10 m. A motor reactor should be used if the 10 m cannot be implemented. According to the motor cable length for Motor Modules used in a standard application, the maximum cable length is 100m for shielded cables - and 150 m for unshielded cables. The recommended cable types as well as the recommended and maximum cable cross-sections that can be connected, correspond to the specifications for S120 Motor Modules used in a standard application. Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 10

2 Engineering 2.2 Selecting the Motor Modules Some SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules have lower output currents when they are used as three-phase braking chopper, compared to standard applications. The reason for the reduced output currents is that the output power is a pure active power. Contrary to standard applications, where the output power includes a reactive component, which is supplied from the own DC link the complete output power in braking chopper operation has to be transferred via the DC busbar - and as a result the current load of the DC fuses increases. The DC fuses in the aircooled Motor Modules represent a device-dependent limit when used as braking chopper, and therefore - depending on the particular device - currents must be derated by up to 12 %. The permissible output currents when used as braking chopper (continuous braking current I n, base load braking current I H - as well as the maximum braking current I max ) are listed in the table with the device-specific technical data: Table 2-1 Selecting a Motor Module as braking chopper Type rating MoMo Rated current MoMo Maximum current Chopper threshold Continuous braking power Referred to Rn Peak braking power Referred to Rn Braking resistor Min. braking resistor Phase voltage Max. phase voltage rms P n I n I max U DClink_br P n_br P max_br R n R min U ph_max U ph_rms [kw] [A] [A] [V] [kw] [kw] [Ω] [Ω] [V] [V] 1.6 3 6 667 2.3 7.0 128.9 91.1 546.7 386.6 2.7 5 10 667 3.8 11.6 77.3 54.7 546.7 386.6 4.8 9 18 667 6.9 20.9 43.0 30.4 546.7 386.6 9.7 18 36 667 13.8 41.7 21.5 15.2 546.7 386.6 16 30 56 667 23.0 64.9 12.9 9.8 546.7 386.6 24 45 85 667 34.5 98.6 8.6 6.4 546.7 386.6 32 60 113 667 46.0 131.0 6.4 4.8 546.7 386.6 46 85 141 667 65.2 163.5 4.5 3.9 546.7 386.6 71 132 210 667 101.3 243.5 2.9 2.6 546.7 386.6 107 200 282 667 153.5 327.0 1.9 1.9 546.7 386.6 The appropriate Motor Module is selected based on the rms braking power of the application and the comparable continuous braking power of the Motor Module according to Table 2-1 column P n_br. P Br _ rms Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 11

2 Engineering Depending on the duration of the braking operation, the duty cycle produced by the application can be compared with one of the following standard duty cycles. Duty cycle with preload condition Duty cycle without preload condition S6 duty cycle with preload condition, S6 duty cycle with preload condition, duty cycle duration: 600s duty cycle duration: 60s Duty cycle with 60s overload, Duty cycle with 30s overload, duty cycle duration: 300s duty cycle duration: 300s Fig. 2-2 Duty cycles The maximum possible output current I max cannot be exceeded - not even briefly. The values for base load current I H, as well as the maximum output current I max are device-specific and must therefore be taken from the relevant catalogs or the sections on specific unit types in the configuration manual. These overload values (Fig. 2-2, series of diagrams below) apply on condition that the converter is operated with nominal pulse frequency and that it's base load current before and after the period of overload is applied on the basis of a duty cycle duration of 300 s in each case. The current duty cycle diagram can also be used for the braking power in the chopper application because the total output current of the Motor Module is required as active current. The continuous braking power is higher than the type rating due to the fact that the type rating is calculated based on the motor with the highest reactive power component. For dissipating braking energy into resistances only active power is required - this is the reason that the Motor Module does not have to keep any power reserve for reactive power.

2 Engineering 2.3 Chopper activation threshold Table 2-2 Braking chopper activation threshold Line voltage U line 3AC 380V - 400V 3AC 500V - 600V 3AC 660V - 690V Activation threshold Braking chopper U DClink- brake 667V - 774V 841V - 967V 1070V - 1158V Activation threshold U DClink-brake must be at least 50V 70V above the DC link voltage that is to be expected as maximum value during motoring operation of the installation. Also line voltage tolerances have to be considered. This ensures that the Motor Module (braking chopper) only operates when the drive system is regenerating. On the other hand, it is not permitted to increase the upper value of the table in order to avoid that the Motor Module shuts down due to a DC link overvoltage. 2.4 Dimensioning the braking resistor Formula 2.1 The braking resistor is selected according to the rms braking power P br-rms of the duty cycle: R Br 3 U = P 2 ph _ rms Br _ rms Where Formula 2.2 U ph _ rms = U DClink -brake 1,5 2 and Formula 2.3 P Br _ rms = P ² t + P ² t +... P ² 1 1 2 t 2 total n t 3 Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 13

2 Engineering The braking resistors limit the Motor Module current, and must be selected so that maximum current I max is not exceeded. This means that the minimum braking resistor value is defined by: Formula 2.4 U _ max R ph U Br I with DClink - U ph _ max = 1, 5 max brake Note Resistors generally have certain production tolerances (+/-20%). Furthermore, the application should be provided some control margin. Evaluating the current with a factor of 0.75 compensates for the tolerances and guaranties a safe control margin. Formula 2.5 R Br-save 3 U = P 2 ph _ rms Br _ rms 0,75 Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 14

2 Engineering 2.5 Dimensioning example The components can be dimensioned according to the expected current or the expected braking power. In this example, the following duty cycle is used as basis for dimensioning: Fig. 2-3 Dimensioning example - duty cycle The peak load can directly be taken from Fig. 2-3: P Br _ max = 6kW The rms power can be calculated according to Formula 2.3 to check which continuous load the Motor Module must be able to handle: P P1 ² t1 + P2 ² t2 +... Pn ² t3 t 6² 1+ 1² 2 + 3² 2 + 2² Br _ rms = = = 2, 83 total 8 2 kw With the values of the maximum and continuous braking power, according to Table 2-1 the Motor Module with 5A rated current must be used. Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 15

2 Engineering A factor of 0.75 must be taken into consideration if you wish to stick to the recommendation of maintaining a control margin to compensate for any tolerances: P Br _ rms 0. 75 P n _ Br 2,83kW 0.75 3. 8kW 2.83kW 2, 85kW The braking resistor is calculated as follows: R ( 314.4V ) 2 2 3 U ph 3 Br _ save = 0,75 = 0,75 = 73, 2 PBr _ rms 3.04kW Ohm The resistance value is not critical. The recommended braking resistor with R n = 63 Ohm can also be used or another braking resistor with similar values, since the minimum braking resistance for this Motor Module is only 44.5 Ohm. If neither of the duty cycles matches the configured application, the load values for Motor Module and the selected braking resistors must be checked. Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 16

3 Commissioning the application 3 Commissioning the application The section "Commissioning the application" discusses all the steps required for integrating the key functions "Motor Module as braking chopper" into your application. Preparatory work and parameterization steps are explained. 3.1 Program description The precise principle of operation is explained in the "Program description" section. Here, you can find parameter lists, diagrams and function descriptions of the core function. 3.1.1 Function description The chopper activation threshold, which is defined in fixed setpoint p2900[0], is subtracted from the actual DC link voltage (r70). If the value is positive, i.e. the DC link voltage is greater than the chopper activation threshold, the value from the limiter is passed through and output as voltage setpoint for the converter (p1330[0]) via the proportional controller with gain (p21515 "Chopper gain"). When the zero limit is exceeded, the voltage difference from the limiter is evaluated by the comparator. This switches the pulse enable of the inverter (p852).

3 Commissioning the application By running the script, the wiring shown in the function block diagram above is established and the associated DCC chart generated: Fig. 3-2 DCC "Chopper" chart 3.1.2 Parameter description Important adjustable parameters include: Chopper activation threshold: p2900 (Fixed value 1 [%]). Setting the gain: p21515 (Chopper gain) Program environment and interfaces - control signals/setpoints/actual values: Switch the chopper to ready: Output voltage: Actual DC link voltage: Acknowledge faults: p840 (On/Off1) p1330 (U/f control independent voltage setpoint) r70 (Actual DC link voltage) p2104 (Acknowledge faults) Overview of feedback signals: Chopper ready to switch on: Chopper ready: Chopper faulted: r899.0 (Ready for switching on) r899.1 (Ready) r2139.3 (Fault present) Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 18

3 Commissioning the application 3.2 Commissioning 3.2.1 Hardware The components must be arranged and wired as described in Chapter 2.1. Please check: 3.2.2 Software There always have to be 3 resistors connected at the inverter output in star connection or delta connection (depending on the design). The resistance values [Ω] per phase must be checked. The temperature sensor contacts of all 3 resistors must be connected and parameterized in series as a feedback signal for an "external fault" of the converter. It must be ensured that the cables to the braking resistors are at least 10 m long. Note Create a VECTOR drive in the STARTER offline configuration or auto-configuration mode. The Motor Module used should be selected from the list, or it is automatically configured using the Drive CLiQ data. Offline, a standard induction motor is selected as fictitious motor, whose rated current is at least as high as the nominal current of the Motor Module. If a motor with a rated current higher than that of the Motor Module is selected, the maximum Motor Module current acts as current limit p640. This also ensures that the peak braking power can be reached. All of the other parameters are not critical, as they are automatically set or overwritten by executing the script. This means that the offline configuration can be quickly "clicked" through. Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 19

3 Commissioning the application Right click on script file Script_1_Chopper, click on Accept and execute. The script is now run, the parameters set and the DCC chart generated Fig. 3-6 Instruction to accept and execute the script The following criteria are taken into account when parameterizing using the script: Formula 3.1 The frequency setpoint should always be 50Hz electrical (entered using fixed value p1001). Correspondingly, the fixed speed setpoint should be set according to 60 50Hz n fix = p where p represents the motor pole pair number. It is not necessary to calculate the motor data (p340 = 0). The motor identification must be deselected (p1900 = 0). The DCC blocks should be processed with the smallest execution time to ensure the fastest possible chopper response. The setting for the execution time depends on the current controller clock cycle. For Motor Modules in the booksize format with 125µs, 250µs or 500µs current controller clock cycle, the blocks can be calculated with a minimum execution time of 1ms.

3 Commissioning the application 3.2.4 Optimization It may be necessary to subsequently adjust the chopper gain (p21515]). This requires a trace of the output current r68[0] and the DC link voltage (r70). If the DC link voltage oscillates when the chopper is active, reduce the preset value from 150 % in steps of 10%. If the output current does not oscillate and if the drives trip with a DC link overvoltage fault while braking, this value must be increased in steps of 10%. The value should only be increased to a level that does not result in oscillation of the DC link voltage. A well optimized braking characteristic is shown below. Activation threshold U DClink Fig. 3-7 Trace of optimized chopper Pulse enable As can be seen in Fig. 3-7, the DC link voltage hardly oscillates, the chopper remains switched-on for most of the braking operation - and only starts to switch-on and switch-off towards the end. Example of a braking chopper that has not been adequately set: Undesired oscillation on VDClink Fig. 3-8 Trace of badly optimized chopper It can be clearly seen that the DC link voltage oscillates. As a result of the high control gain, the DC link voltage quickly falls below the chopper activation threshold and the chopper deactivates the pulse enable. U DClink increases above the Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 24

3 Commissioning the application activation threshold and the Motor Module starts to pulse again (see bit track r852 below). If the gain factor is set too high (e.g. chopper gain = 80 instead of the optimum chopper gain = 10 15), then the DC link oscillates heavily. It is crucial that this high oscillation is avoided, as it places a lot of stress on the DC link capacitors. Note For short duty cycles (e.g. lifting gear), the fan run-on time (p295) should be increased to prevent continuous switching (premature wear) of the fan relay during each braking process. 3.2.5 Controlling the chopper The chopper is activated when it is switched on via p0840[0] (On/Off1) and the DC link voltage reaches the chopper threshold set using p2900[0]. It must be observed that the chopper cannot be switched on via p840[0] until the infeed has ramped up the DC link, since the chopper would otherwise go into a fault condition with a DC link undervoltage fault message. For example, you can implement this monitoring function by parameterizing p864 (BI: Infeed operation) = r863[0] (Infeed 1: Closedloop control operation) in the Motor Module. The On command for the infeed is also used as On command for the chopper. In order to still guarantee chopper operation even if the infeed goes into a fault condition, alarm A07841 "Infeed operation withdrawn" must be intercepted (p2018; p2119). In the event of a chopper fault, the On command must be withdrawn, the fault acknowledged and the On command reissued. Entry ID: 104148244, V1.1, 08/2017 25
