Expansion port
The expansion port is designed for connecting the converter to the external option module -
BOP Interface Module, Parameter Loader, SINAMICS V20 Smart Access, or I/O Extension
Module, in order to realize the following functions:
● Operating the converter from the external BOP that is connected to the BOP Interface
Module
● Cloning parameters between the converter and a standard SD card through the
Parameter Loader
● Powering the converter from the Parameter Loader, when mains power is not available
● Accessing the converter from a connected device (conventional PC with wireless network
adapter installed, tablet, or smart phone) with the aid of SINAMICS V20 Smart Access
● Providing additional DIs and DOs to realize more converter control functions through the
I/O Extension Module
For more information about these option modules, see Sections "Parameter Loader
(Page 357)", "External BOP and BOP Interface Module (Page 362)", "Commissioning via the
SINAMICS V20 Smart Access (Page 139)", and "I/O Extension Module (Page 402)".
