Note 13
Basic Operator Panel 2 (BOP-2)
The basic input and display device is used to operate and set parameters for the converter after being
connected to the Control Unit. It is operated by pressing the buttons and can be used to simply commis-
sion a converter thanks to the menu prompting and the 2-line display. The BOP-2 can store one set of
parameters and can be used to clone.
Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP-2)
The Intelligent Operator Panel manages the same functions as the BOP-2 but adds several more options.
The integrated application wizards, full graphical diagnostic overviews and plain text significantly
increase the usability. The IOP-2 can store up to 16 parameter settings and is thus very convenient for series
commissioning.

1.2 Mounting and wiring
Before starting, check to ensure the following conditions have been met:
• All required components, tools and small parts are available
• All required cables and conductors have been routed / installed in accordance with specifications
• All minimum clearances are complied with
The 5 safety regulations when working on a VSD must be strictly observed
• Disconnect
• Lock out against unintentional restart
• Verify that it really is in a no-voltage condition
• Ground and short circuit
• Cover or partition off any adjacent live parts
Mounting the Power Module in the control cabinet

Please refer to the drilling pattern provided with the Power Module
36.5 mm (1.44") for the correct drilling centers and clearance distances above and below
the Power Module. The Power Modules can be mounted side-by-side.
6 mm (0.23")
However, a 1mm gap is recommended to simplify installation.
Example of
186 mm (7.32")
drilling pattern
The motor and converter must be

selected so that they match each
other. This is also the case in our
example. Further, the data from
the rating plate of the motor are
important when initially commis-
62.3mm (2.45") sioning the converter.
Note 15
Connecting the Power Module to the motor
Depending on the required EMC class, different cable length limits are applicable for the connection
between the Power Module and motor. Always use shielded cables. If longer cables are needed, make
sure that a sine-wave filter is used.
Wiring the Power Module (motor cable)

1 • Connect the equipotential bonding conductor to the Power Module (only for IP55. For IP20 ensure
that the cabinet is connected to the equipotential bonding conductor and that the metal heatsink
is properly connected to the rear of the cabinet)
2 • Connect the phases and the ground conductor to terminals U2, V2, W2 and PE. Make sure that the
cable is properly shielded. For IP55 devices use an EMC gland, route the screen through the cable
gland and connect it inside the housing
Wiring the motor

3 • Unscrew the cover of the terminal box on the motor (the inside cover of Siemens’ motors
illustrates the wiring for star and the delta connections)
• Remove the jumper bars from the connecting block and loosen the screws
• Place the jumper bars on the terminal block and screw them into place (depending on the
type of connections required – star or delta – in this example, a star connection is shown)
• Insert the cables from the Power Module through the opening of the terminal box to the motor
• Connect the PE connection first
• Introduce the phase conductors into the connections according to the phase assignment
• Replace the terminal box cover and ensure that it is secured with the four screws, tightened to the
required torque
• Use an EMC cable gland on the motor as well and make sure that the cable is properly shielded
inside the cable gland
The motor and Power Module are now connected.
Wiring the power supply

4 • Connect the phases and the earth conductor to the terminal clamps L1, L2, L3 and PE
The electrical wiring is now complete.

Motor cables are sources of inter-

ference. This means that you
must use shielded cables in order
to meet the corresponding elec-
tromagnetic compatibility specifi-
cations. The cable lengths that are
actually possible depend on the
following:
‒ Operating environment
‒ Converter being used
‒ Reactors and filters used
‒ Shielded or unshielded cable
In order to meet Class A / C2 elec-
tromagnetic compatibility requi-
rements, you need a power
module with integrated filter and
a shielded cable (max. length:
25 meters). To meet Class B / C1,
a Power Module with Filter B has
to be used (IP55 max. 25m, IP20
max. 50m).
4 2
A star connection is shown in the

1 example. The rating plate provides
information about the correct
circuit data: e.g. 230/400 V ∆/Y
means that you operate the motor
in a Y connection with a 400 V
line supply.
Note 17
Attaching the Control Unit
Attach the Control Unit to the bottom of the Power Module using the fastening clips and then press
the upper edge of the Control Unit onto the Power Module until the locking device snaps into place.
The terminal cover has to be opened before wiring the control terminals.
General procedure for wiring using the cage clamp mechanism
• Slide the wire into the terminal opening

• The inner clamp opens slightly and holds the wire tightly into place
The wire is now firmly attached.
• To release the wire gently press a screw driver onto the lever
• Remove the wire
• Withdraw the screwdriver from the terminal
Wiring example of CU230-P-2

Wiring the control terminals in the CU230P-2
The CU230P-2 comes with an extensive range of I/O. 6 digital inputs, 3 digital outputs, 4 analogue
inputs – 2 of those for LG-Ni1000 or Pt1000 Sensors and 2 analogue outputs are standard.
In the factory settings, some of the I/O are preconfigured to adress common
requirements (see diagramm on the next page).
The CU230P-2 has a macro parameter (p0015), which automatically configures the drive to adress com-
mon applications. Using this macro, I/O and functions are automatically configured as well as some
common parameters in some macros. When carrying out the basic commissioning of the drive with
either STARTER, BOP-2 or the IOP-2, you can select the macro most suitable for your particular application.
After a drive has been set-up you, can select another macro at any time by simply activating the com-
missioning mode (P0010=1) and then select the required macro in P0015. After commissioning has
been completed, you can reset P0010 to 0.
Your G120P with FW 4.6 comes with the following HVAC specific macros
12: Standard I / O with analog setpoint (factory setting)

101: General purpose application
103: Pump delta P control
104: Stairway pressurization (ESM)
105: Pressure-controlled supply fan
106: Cooling tower fan (active temp. sensor) + hibernation mode
107: Cooling tower fan (LG-Ni1000 temp. sensor) + hibernation mode
108: USS fieldbus
109: Modbus RTU fieldbus
110: BACnet MS / TP fieldbus
Always ensure that all signal- and

bus cables are shielded at the
Control Unit using the shielding kit.
Signal- and bus cables must be
routed the maximum possible dis-
tance away from power and motor
cables, and cross them only at a
90° angle.

Congratulations! Your converter is now ready for operation.

After installation has been completed, the converter parameters must be set, i.e., you must
enter the specific characteristics of the connected motor into the converter.
23
In this section, you will learn more about how to use the
operator panels to locally control the converter. You will
learn how to use the Basic Operator Panel 2 (BOP-2) to
set up parameters for the converter and the connected
motor, and how to operate the converter with the BOP-2.
Then, you will learn how to best use the Intelligent
Operator Panel (IOP-2).

2.1 Basic functions
The operator panel is the input and display instrument for controlling the converter. It is used in stand-
alone operation, i.e., locally, on the device, integrated in the cabinet door or remotely connected with a
serial cable (max. 5m).
The BOP-2 display

The BOP-2 is used to commission, diagnose (troubleshoot) and display the status of the converter. Up to
2 status values can be simultaneously and continuously monitored. It features simple navigation using a
transparent and well-structured menu and clearly assigned operator keys.

In this tutorial, we introduce an

application that is based on “V/f
control for a parabolic character-
istic”. This control method is typ-
ically applied in HVAC applica-
tions. We recommend that you

Parameter list
To better understand the functionality of the buttons, you should be acquainted with the operating
mode: The Basic Operator Panel gives you access to a parameter list. The parameters are assigned
stored values that control the operation of the motor. However, not all the numbers are assigned.
Operating mode
• Press ESC to enter the menu selection

• Use the UP and DOWN buttons to move the menu bar to PARAMS and press OK
• Press OK to select the standard level
Example
ESC OK
The first parameter number that appears is displayed on the left side of the screen: r2 (r stands for read
only and means that you can only read this value but cannot change it). The parameter value of the
selected number is shown on the right-hand side.
• Press UP to access the next parameter

• In this case, P3 appears (P means that you can change the value of this parameter)
• Press OK to edit the parameter
• Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the value
• Confirm the value by pressing OK
ESC OK
Example
OK OK
If you want to change any param-

eter using the parameter list, you
are requested to choose a filter
level (Standard or Expert). The
standard level limits the available
parameters, thus limiting the risk
of dangerous parameter settings.
The Expert Level allows you to
access all parameters.
Note 29
Some parameters have more than one associated value. In this case, pressing OK does not take you
directly to the value, but to an index that is displayed in brackets [00] above the actual value.
Example of index parameters
• Pressing OK takes you to [00]

• UP takes you to [01], DOWN back to [00]
• Select an index number of your choice
• Press OK again to edit the index
• The value starts flashing
• Adjust the value by pressing UP or DOWN
• Confirm by pressing OK
Example

Note
Motor data identification
After entering the motor data, the wizard requests that the motor data identification is activated. This is
recommended for a verification and optimization of the data that you have entered. The motor data
identification initiates a “measurement” of the connected motor. In the process, the data previously cal-
culated in the converter are compared to the actual motor data and adapted to one another.
Activating motor data identification (P1900)
• Press OK to confirm MOT ID

• Change the displayed value to 1 by pressing UP
OK
Motor data identification only starts after the basic commissioning sequence has been completed
and the motor is switched on the first time!
The motor data identification can take several minutes. Do not interrupt the process.

• Set the minimum motor speed under parameter MIN RPM

• Press OK (parameter MIN RPM)
• Change the value by pressing UP or DOWN
• Press OK to confirm
OK OK
• Set the ramp-up time under parameter RAMP UP for the

accelerating time to maximum frequency (P1120)
• Set the ramp-down time under parameter RAMP DWN for the
time until standstill is reached (P1121)
Changing the value digit by digit

OK OK is possible by continuously pres-
sing the OK button for more than
2 seconds. After releasing the
OK OK
button, each single digit can be
changed by using the OK (move
to next digit), ESC (move to pre-
vious digit), UP (increase value)
The values are displayed in seconds. In both cases, the times indicated
and DOWN (decrease value) but-
should not be too short, as this might result in an alarm. The ramp tons.
times are only valid in normal operation. If the drive uses PID control,
the PID specific settings have priority. An example for a PID setup is Refer to the “Parameter Manual:
provided in Chapter -> Starter. Control Units – CU230P-2” for a
description of the control modes
and their corresponding parame-
ter settings at: http://support.
automation.siemens.com/WW/
view/en/49946106
G120P requires the minimum

speed to be set in rpm and not in
Hz. You can use the “Frequency

• OFF3-ramp down time emergency shutdown: 30 s
8 Choose “Calculate motor data only” in the next step

After clicking “Next”, you will receive a summary of all the parameter values that have been entered.
The summary can be inserted into a text file by pressing the “Copy text to clipboard” button. Finally
select “Copy RAM to ROM” to save the parameterization in the converters EEPROM memory and close
the window by clicking finish.

3.3 Application cases
In the event of a fire, the G120P can automatically switch over to the essential service mode (ESM), ensur-
ing that the system ignores all external faults and alarms. The goal is to maintain an overpressure condi-
tion through ventilation as long as possible so that escape routes are kept free of smoke and doors can
still be easily opened. This example shows you how to parameterize a pressure-controlled ventilation
combined with ESM operation using the STARTER software.

Saving data
A power failure may mean that parameter settings are lost. STARTER offers
various possibilities for backing up your parameter settings.
1 Double click the “Drive navigator” in the project tree
2 Select “Commissioning” in the work area
79
3 Select “Save data in drive (RAM to ROM)” to store the parameter settings in the converter EEPROM memory

Because you have worked in the online mode, no data whatsoever has been stored in your project on
the computer.
4 Click “Save data to project” to save the parameter setting in your project
You could now disconnect the online connection to the converter by clicking the
“Disconnect from target system” icon. In our example, please online to restore the converter to its
factory settings.
81
Restoring factory settings
Resetting your converter to factory settings might be helpful if you have experienced any problems
during parameterization.
1 Double-click the “Drive navigator”
2 Select “Commissioning”

3 Select “Factory settings”
The security prompt that is now displayed lets you know that all settings you have made will be reset.
Using the checkbox (“Save factory settings to ROM”) query, you will overwrite the current settings also
in the non-volatile EEPROM of the converter.
83
4 Click “OK” to restore all converter settings to the factory setting
The factory settings are restored

5 Click “Close” to complete the process
6 Click “Disconnect from target system” to finally complete the process
You now know how to use STARTER to easily and clearly insert your converter into a project, set its
parameters, and commission it. Please make sure that you always remember to save the parameter
data to the converter and in the software before exiting a project.
