Drive Control Chart (DCC)
Drive Control Chart (DCC) expands the scope of device
functions by means of freely available closed-loop control,
calculation and logic modules and offers a means by which
technological functions can be graphically configured in the
SINAMICS S120 drive system. DCC is installed as an additional
application to the STARTER commissioning tool.
Drive Control Chart expands the possibility for very simply
configuring technological functions, both for the SIMOTION
motion control system as well as for the SINAMICS S120
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
represented 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
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.
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
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 blocks, 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 controllers, ramp-function
generators or wobble generators can be configured simply
and easily.
Drive Control Chart for SINAMICS S120 also provides a
convenient basis for resolving drive-level 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 STARTER engineering software, since DCC is installed
in addition to this.
DCC comprises the graphic configuring tool (DCC Editor) and
the block library (DCB library).
DCC is installed in addition to the SCOUT or STARTER
engineering software.
The engineering license required for each PC (floating) for
DCC is purchased at the same time the order is placed;
additional runtime licenses are not required.
DCC can be ordered in two versions: as version for SIMOTION
and SINAMICS applications, or as version for SINAMICS
applications only.
Existing licenses for DCC 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.
