Commissioning using "Getting Started"
Getting Started describes how you can perform basic commissioning with either STARTER or using the IOP. For special
inverter functions such as e.g. automatic restart or flying restart, please use the operating instructions, the Function Manual
and the parameter list.
The functions and properties of the IOP are described in detail in the "SINAMICS IOP" operating instructions and are only
explained here to an extent that is necessary to understand the described functions.
Collection of manuals for standard drives
The collection of manuals for standard drives is an extensive compilation of all documents relating to inverters, motors and
geared motors. It can be ordered as DVD and can run under all Windows versions.
Order No.: 6SL3298-0CA00-0MG0
Online documentation
In the Internet, the documentation for standard drives is available as PDF under the following link:

GSDs are required to integrate inverters into control systems (e.g. SIMATIC S7).
3 Installation
CU230 field of application
The CU230P-2 is a Control Unit that has been optimized for pumps and fans. It can be operated with all power units of the
PM240 and PM250 series.
The following versions of CU230P-2 are available:
● CU230P-2 HVAC
with RS485 interface for USS and Modbus RTU
● CU230P-2 CAN
with CANopen interface
● CU230P-2 DP
with PROFIBUS DP interface
They can be commissioned either using the STARTER commissioning software or using the optional IOP operator panel
(Intelligent Operator Panel).
You can save all the settings you enter during commissioning and operation to a memory card.

Overview
The CU controls the inverter functions. It cannot be used without a Power Module (PM) - just the same as a PM cannot be
used without a CU.
WARNING
Inverters are at hazardous voltage levels and control the speed and direction of rotation of motors. This is the reason that
only trained personnel may commission the inverters.
