This opens up a new dimension for users for adapting the specified systems to the specific functions of their machines. DCC has no restriction with regard to the ‘number of usable functions; this is only limited by the performance capability of the target platform, EE (Sait Rat le as lla a eee a= ay a bercanese BmlQoeoe008 Beers] osm [Yom OE om DCC comprises the DCC editor and the DCB library (block library with standard DCC blocks), SINAMICSISIMOTION DCC editor description Programming and Operating Manual, 11/2010, 6SL3087-4AN0O-0BPO 9Introduction 10 ‘The user-friendly DCC edkor enables easy graphic configuration and a clear representation of control loop structures as well as a high degree of reusability of existing charts. ‘The open-loop and clased-loop control functionality is defined by using mult-instance- capable blocks (Drlve Control Blocks, DCBs) from a pre-defined library (DCB library) that are selected and graphically linked by dragging and dropping. Test and diagnostic functions allow verification of program behavior or the identification of causes in the event of errors. The block library contains a large selection of control, arithmetic and logic blacks as well as ‘extensive open-loop and closed-loop control functions. ‘All commonly used logic functions are available for selection (AND, XOR, On/Off delay, RS flipflop, counters, etc.) for the logic operation, evaluation and acquisition of binary signals. Diverse arithmetic functions such as absolute-value generation, dividers and minimum/maximum analysis are available for monitoring and evaluating numeric variables. In addition to the drive control, axial winder functions, Pl controllers, ramp-function generators or sweep generators can be configured simply and without problem. Almost unlimited programming of control structures is possible in conjunction with the SIMOTION motion control system. These can then be combined with other program sections to form an overall program. Drive Control Chart for SINAMICS drives also provides a convenient basis for resolving drive-level open-loop and closed-loop control tasks directly in the converter. This results in further adaptability of SINAMICS for the tasks set. On-site processing in the drive supports modular machine concepts and results in increased overall machine performance.

You need a DCC SINAMICS license to edit SINAMICS DCC libraries. 2.52 Importing block lbrartes ‘When first creating a chart in SCOUT/STARTER, you may be prompted to import a block library for the selected device platform. The block types are imported in the language that has been set. You can select this in the dialog box. If the desired language is not available, English is used instead The import process involves the DCB library that is already installed in SCOUT/STARTER. being mapped to the Step7 data storage area for the device or DCC library, thus making it available for the charts in the DCC/CFC editor. DCC libraries in the same project can also be imported for SIMOTION and SINAMICS devices. ‘You need to install libraries in SINAMICS/SIMOTION and then import them for the chart containers (Programs folder) before you can use the block types they contain in DCC charts. Only libraries that are appropriate for the device may be used. Only one version of a library should be imported. Therefore, only Version 4.1 + service pack X (e.g. 4.1.0, 4.1.5) libraries should be imported for a Version 4.1 device. Name ambigulty In blocks from different libraries. Iwo blocks from different libraries (in the case of SIMOTION) have the same name, then the block from the library whose name comes first in the alphabet will apply.

If the input is not interconnected, it always has the specified value. With interconnected blocks, the output value of the upstream block always applies in the initialization phase and in the first cycle. ‘At the block outputs, a value can be entered in the Value field of the properties dialog box. In the first cycle however, the specified value is overwritten by the calculated value. Note ‘Special feature with hidden block connections In the DCC editor, you can hide block connections to improve the clarity of the configured charts. However, the hidden block connections remain active in the DCC, so their values are still evaluated. With generic blocks, you can also reduce the number of block connections in the DCC editor. The hidden connections are assigned default values. However, the hidden block connections remain active in the target system, so their values are still evaluated. It should also be noted that the inputs of these blacks must be interconnected consecutively, starting from the first connection. Number of block Inputs ‘The number of inputs could be increased for the AND, ADD, MAS, MIS, MUL, NAND, NOR, OR and XOR blocks from the standard library. However, the DCC editor can only evaluate four input signals per block, and therefore this is not permitted. If the demand is greater, the block must be called several times. The note above also applies to data-type-specific variants of the blocks listed above. Pseudo comments ‘Comments at block connections that start with @ are pseudo comments; they influence the function of the block connection and serve as interfaces to the basic system, For further information about the pseudo comments, see: ‘© @ variables (SIMOTION) (Page 185) ‘© Creating customer-specific parameters ("declare") (Page 133) Block connection units 60 ‘The block connection units that can be set in the Properties dialog box serve only as. ‘comments in the DCC editor - the values are not used for automatic conversions.
