3.2.2 Swap Behavior of the Inverter
Swap behavior of the inverter
The SINAMICS G120 inverter comprises of Power Modules (PM) and Control Units (CU)
Both, PM and CU, can be replaced e.g. to change a defective component. The exchange of
either a PM or a CU is called a "swap".
The following swaps are possible:
• PM hotswap with powered CU (CU is powered via external 24 V source)
• CU swap
• PM swap, including a CU power cycle
Note
A standard CU will not accept a parameter set from a CU with fail-safe functions and vice
versa.
