FAQ for SINAMICS DCM; 6RA80
Question:
How do I perform diagnostics if a fault occurs?
Answer:
Several different ways of performing diagnostics on the SINAMICS DCM 6RA80 are
described below. You do not have to read the entire text, only the item relevant to your
problem. This permits you to perform the necessary preliminary investigation, which you can
then discuss with Technical Support (for contact address, see the "Preface" Section of the
Operating Instructions).

Note: When commissioning a SINAMICS DCM for the first time, work through Section 8 of
the Operating Instructions.
Commissioning is performed with the BOP20 or AOP30 or the STARTER commissioning
software (Version 4.3.3 or higher; USB to Profibus Interface; Order number;
MLFB: 6GK1571-1AA00) starting from the factory setting of the SINAMICS DCM.
WARNING
The units listed here contain dangerous electrical voltages and control rotating mechanical
parts (drives). Failure to follow the relevant Operating Instructions may result in death, serious
injury or considerable material damage.
Only qualified personnel who are familiar with all the safety information contained in the
Operating Instructions, as well as the assembly, operating and maintenance instructions,
should carry out work on these units.
Perfect, safe and reliable operation of the units is conditional upon them having been
professionally transported, stored, mounted, and installed, and having been carefully operated
and maintained.
The output of the power section for the armature and field is not electrically isolated from the
input, which means that dangerous voltages will be present at the output when the supply
voltage is applied to the input. Please also remember that dangerous voltages are also
present on the power interface and field module. Before working with the unit wait for the
discharge time of the TSE capacitors and the capacitors of the power supply to elapse.
The power supply for electronics module CUD and other electronic expansion modules is
however electrically isolated from the line voltage. Their reference ground "M" is at ground
potential.
About this document: Firstly the CUD, memory card and device standards are described,
then interrelationships for controlling and setpoint value specification, followed by diagnostics
in the case of fault codes. You will find basic theory on converters and procedures for
performing measurements further on in the documentation to refresh you knowledge. This
document is rounded off by an introduction to control engineering. Please use the index in
the appendix to find the items you require.
The cross-references apply to the documentation for software 1.4.
