unit is in operation, by changing a parameter setting or switching to another data set, for example. By altering the
current controller clock cycle, it is also possible to set different pulse frequency values, in other words, the pulse
frequency can be very finely adjusted. However, the current controller clock cycle can be changed only when the
drive is in commissioning mode.
1.1.3.2 Interrelationships between current controller clock cycle, pulse frequency and output
frequency
For SINAMICS G130, G150, S150 and S120 converters and inverters (Chassis and Cabinet Modules formats)
described in this engineering manual and vector-type drive objects (vector and V/f control modes), the following
interdependencies exist between the current controller clock cycle, the pulse frequency and the output frequency:

) where n = ½, 1, 2, 3, … .(applies to vector and V/f control modes) (1)

Dependence of the maximum attainable output frequency f

on the pulse frequency setting f
Pulse
:

out max

Pulse
/ 12 . (applies to vector and V/f control modes) (3)
Regardless of the formulas specified above, the maximum possible output frequency f
out max
is limited to 550 Hz in
the standard firmware for the vector and U/f control modes with SINAMICS G and S. With the license "High output
frequency" (6SL3074-0AA02-0AA0) for SINAMICS S (which can also be ordered as option J01 for the SINAMICS S
CompactFlash card), it is now possible to increase the maximum possible output frequency f
out max
to 650 Hz. The
"High output frequency" license is subject to export restrictions. Further information is available on request.
When firmware version 4.3 is used, the minimum settable current controller clock cycle is 250 μs for vector-type drive
objects (vector and V/f control modes) of all SINAMICS G and SINAMICS S Chassis and cabinet units.
When firmware version 4.4 or higher is used, a minimum current controller clock cycle of 125 μs can be set for
vector-type drive objects (vector and V/f control modes) of SINAMICS S Chassis and cabinet units. The only
exceptions are the parallel connections of SINAMICS S converters for which the minimum permissible current
controller clock cycle is 200 μs. For SINAMICS G converters, the minimum permissible current controller clock cycle
setting remains 250 μs and the minimum permissible speed controller clock cycle is also unchanged at 1 ms.
