Overview
Graphically configuring and expanding the device functionality
using the freely available closed-loop control, arithmetic, and
logic blocks
Drive Control Chart (DCC) extends the possibility of very
simply configuring technological functions – both for the
SIMOTION Motion Control System as well as for the
SINAMICS DC MASTER drive system. For users, this opens
up a new dimension regarding the adaptability of the systems
mentioned to the specific functions of their machines. DCC has
no restrictions with regard to the number of usable functions; this
is only limited by the performance capability of the target
platform.
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 pre-defined library (DCB library) that are se-
lected 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.
The block library encompasses 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 sig-
nals, all commonly used logic functions are available for selec-
tion (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, closed-loop PI
controller, ramp function generator or wobble generator can be
configured simply and easily.
Closed-loop control structures can be programmed with almost
no restrictions in conjunction with the SIMOTION Motion Control
System. These can then be combined with other program
sections to form an overall program.
Further, Drive Control Chart for SINAMICS DC MASTER provides
a user-friendly basis to handle drive-related open-loop and
closed-loop control tasks directly in the converter. This further
extends the possibility of adapting SINAMICS to the particular
application. Local data processing in the drive supports the
implementation of modular machine concepts and results in
an increase in the overall machine performance.
Minimum hardware and software requirements
See the SCOUT or STARTER engineering software, since DCC is
installed in addition to this.

Selection and ordering data
DCC comprises the graphic configuring tool (DCC Editor) and
the block library (DCB Library).
DCC is installed in addition to the STARTER commissioning tool.
The necessary engineering license for each PC (floating) for
DCC is acquired at the same time the order is placed; additional
runtime licenses are not required.
Existing licenses for DCC version V2.1 can also be used for
DCC V2.2 SP1.
An upgrade variant for the engineering license can be selected
for existing DCC V2.0 versions.
