Siemens SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 - Options for Multiple Configuration Files

6.19 Options for Multiple Con󹪝guration Files
The drive can operate with multiple motors that may vary in size. The drive uses multiple
parameter con󹪝guration 󹪝les to accomplish multiple motor operation. There is one master
con󹪝guration 󹪝le that is always named current cfg. The slave 󹪝les are stored on the
CompactFlash card in a subfolder of the 'CfgFiles' con󹪝guration folder named 'SubCfgs'. The
slave 󹪝les can have any legal name conforming to the "xxxxxxxx.yyy" 󹪝le naming convention.
File extension for slave con󹪝guration 󹪝les
The 󹪝le extension of slave con󹪝guration 󹪝les is always ‘.sfg’. You cannot add or change the 󹪝le
extension for the slave con󹪝guration 󹪝les through the menus. Choose 8 characters only for the
󹪝le name.
Press [ENTER] to save the parameters as they exist in memory to a new con󹪝guration 󹪝le name.
This 󹪝le will be stored to the CompactFlash card in the ‘SubCfgs’ subdirectory. This function does
not make this con󹪝guration 󹪝le the active con󹪝guration 󹪝le. It uses the current data in memory
to create a new slave con󹪝guration 󹪝le. Any parameter that is saved to a slave con󹪝guration 󹪝le is
identi󹪝able by the small ‘s’ adjacent to the parameter ID number if it has not been changed from
the default setting, or a ‘$’ if it has been changed from the default setting, for example (s9586)
or ($9586).
Creating con󹪝guration 󹪝les
You can create con󹪝guration 󹪝les at runtime in the drive’s memory and then store them to the
CompactFlash card.
Create slave 󹪝les via the keypad menus. To do so, set the slave parameters as desired and write
them to the CompactFlash card, see Table Slave Setup and Con󹪝guration Parameters.
You may set up to 8 SOP 󹪞ags to point to a con󹪝guration 󹪝le. Use the menus to map each SOP
󹪞ag to a corresponding con󹪝guration 󹪝le. Once mapped, use the SOP 󹪞ags to activate the SOP
for a particular motor.

󹪝le menus will be displayed.
Enable this item by setting any one of the SOP 󹪞ags to true. The cor‐
responding con󹪝guration 󹪝le will become active.
Show active con󹪝g 󹪝le Use this function to display the current active con󹪝guration 󹪝le.
Only one con󹪝guration 󹪝le can be active at one time.
If the correct con󹪝guration 󹪝le is not displayed, check the SOP 󹪝le for
accuracy. Check the ‘Setup SOP con󹪝guration 󹪞ags menu' to be sure
the correct 󹪝le is mapped to the SOP 󹪞ag.
