3.1.2 Mixed operation of SINAMICS S120 and S220 components
Overview
Mixed operation of SINAMICS S120 booksize and S220 booksize components is possible.
Requirement
WARNING
Danger to life due to unsuitable rmware version
Operating SINAMICS S220 booksize components with an unsuitable rmware version can
result in unsafe operating states. For example, it can lead to converter components
overheating, a motor unexpectedly accelerating or safety functions not functioning.
• When using a SINAMICS S220 Smart Line Module, use a Control Unit with rmware V5.2 SP3
HF10 or later.
• When using a SINAMICS S220 Motor Module, use a Control Unit with rmware V5.2 SP3 HF9
or later.
