10.2.4  MDS: Motor Data Set 
MDS: Motor Data Set 
A motor data set contains various adjustable parameters describing a connected motor for 
the purpose of configuring the drive. It also contains certain display parameters with 
calculated data. 
●  Adjustable parameters, e.g.: 
–  Motor component number (p0131) 
–  Motor type selection (p0300) 
–  Rated motor data (p0304 ff) 
–  ... 
●  Display parameters, e.g.: 
–  Calculated rated data (p0330 ff) 
–  ... 
The parameters that are grouped in the motor data set are identified in the SINAMICS S110 
List Manual by "Data Set MDS" and are assigned an index [0...n]. 
The motor data set is assigned to a drive data set via parameter p0186. 
A motor data set can only be changed using a DDS changeover. The motor data set 
changeover is, for example, used for: 
●  Switching over different motors 
●  Switching over different windings in a motor (e.g. star-delta changeover) 
●  Adapting the motor data 
SINAMICS S110 can manage up to 2 motor data sets. The number of motor data sets in 
p0130 must not exceed the number of drive data sets in p0180.
