Control system
The BlueDrive converter includes a “tailor-made”
control system based on a Simatic S7 PLC and the
control board CU320 for the Sinamics Motor Module,
taking care of the special functions needed to obtain
a reliable operation and control of a propulsion drive
system.

Pre-charging/magnetize
To prevent a high inrush current when the converter
starts, the converter is provided with a charging
circuit that precharges the DC capacitors through a
transformer or a choke. In the 12- or 24- pulse
configuration when the rectifier is fed from a
transformer, the precharge unit also precharges the
transformer to prevent a high inrush current when the
transformer is connected to the switchboard.
Rectifier
The rectifier consists of one, two or four 6 pulse
diode bridges. The rectifier unit is water cooled. The
rectifier unit is protected by a electronic protection
system that will trip the main transformer breaker if
short circuit or overload of the drive. The rectifier is
also equipped with temperature sensors. The
sensors will give alarm at 70 degrees, and trip at 80.
Capacitor Modules
Depending on the operating conditions, the converter
unit can be equipped with one or more capacitor
modules connected to the DC bus. They are used
when the drive is operating with high load for longer
periods to reduce the internal heating of the
capacitors in the inverter modules.
Inverter
The inverter unit is a standard Sinamics S120 Liquid
Cooled Inverter. It is connected to the DC-bus bar
through semiconductor fuses. Depending on the
load, one or more inverters are operating in parallel.
Cooling
The internal cooling circuit consists of heat sinks in
the inverter and rectifier modules, a heat exchanger
Interface
The Simatic PLC unit with its interface modules is
used to obtain a potential free interface to other
control systems onboard. Standard interface is
Profinet. It can also communicate via Profibus.
The Simatic PLC is located in the control cubicle. The
interface signals are isolated from the converter
internal control.
The Simatic PLC includes:
8 analog inputs (4-20mA,1 for internal use)
8 analog inputs (RTD)
4 analog outputs (4-20mA)
16 binary inputs
16 binary outputs
Operator Panel
The operator panel is located on the frequency
converter front, and displays operating conditions, set
points, actual values, parameter values and
diagnostics of the propulsion drive.
The operator panel makes complete operation and
regulation of the converter in emergency mode
possible. For safety reasons the essential operating
parameters are only adjustable through a graduated
access control.
Emergency Control Local
Emergency Control (Local operation) is possible via
the operator panel on the converter front.
Emergency Control Remote (option)
Emergency Control Remote operation is possible via
up to four individual external inputs.
Restart after Blackout
The control system automatically resets any fault
messages after a blackout. It is only necessary to
give a start-signal to the converter.
Braking Unit (option)
When a motor is decelerated, electric energy can be
fed back into the converter. In order to prevent DCovervoltage tripping if this occurs, a braking unit can
be used to convert this energy into heat. The braking

unit consists of a braking chopper and an external
braking resistor.
Braking Resistor (Request Option)
In conjunction with the braking resistor there must be
a braking resistor to control the energy from a
spinning motor. The braking resistor must be
designed individually.
Generator Power Adaption (GPA)
(Request Option)
The Siemens philosophy is to see generators, main
switchboard, propulsion converters and propulsion
motors as one system. Normally the propulsion
converters with their motors are the largest
consumers of power, and it is vital that these
consumers are not able to overload the actual
generator, or worse: cause a black-out. Optional
modules to be included on Switchboard.
To obtain a stable generator load, the propulsion
drives are power controlled (with optional speed- or
torque control).
Furthermore, the propulsion drives are equipped with
a "generator power protective limitation". This is a
controller which limits the power of the propulsion
drives according to actual generator capacity
Earth Fault Monitoring
In propulsion systems provided with a transformer in
the main circuit, the insulation level is monitored by
an insulation guard.
Cabinet Air Temperature supervision
Inverter cabinets, Rectifier cabinet, and Control
cabinet have sensors for measuring of air temp. The
actual temperature is shown in the converter HMI,
and alarms can be given at high temp.
Control cabinet air cooler
(Request Option)
The Control cabinet is equipped with a Rittal
Air/water heat exchanger for special ambient
temperature.
Anti condensation heating
The BlueDrive converter has a heating element in
each cubicle to prevent condensation at standstill.
The main switch for the heating elements is located
on the cubicle front. If the heating switch is in position
1, the heating will automatically be switched on when
the converter is not running.
The anti condensation heating in the propulsion
motor can also be controlled by the anti condensation
circuit.

Complete internal control

unexpected transient-voltage drops in the main

system
Control of integrated freshwater heat exchanger
system
Propeller control, including:
• characteristics to adapt load steps
to diesel engine capability
• characteristics to adapt propeller load steps
(i.e. propeller out of water)
• power control mode for transit operation to achieve
a stable load on the generators without influence of
wind/wave/current conditions.
• speed control mode for DP or maneuvering
• step less switching from speed control to power
control mode depending on vessel speed
• constant and stable power outtake from the diesel
gen-sets, independent of sea-conditions
•highest possible diesel-generator set efficiency in all
operational sea conditions without any limitation of
power outtake
• characteristics to prevent reverse power during
azimuth turnings (i.e. wind milling), eliminating the
need for braking resistors in the frequency converter
•handling of azimuth thrusters for operation in either
direction of rotation
• standardized interface for propellers, DP-system,
thruster control and joystick systems
The propulsion control software consists of two parts,
a PLC unit for control and interface, and the control
unit for the inverter. They communicate with each
other via Profibus or Profinet. Most internal signals
are connected to the Control unit for the inverter,
while most external signals are connected to the
PLC.
Start & Stop
An “ON” command starts the precharging sequence.
As soon as the DC-voltage is above 80%, the main
circuit breaker will close and the drive is “Ready to
run”.
An “OFF” command opens the main circuit breaker.
As default, the “ON” and “OFF” commands are given
as positive pulses.
MCB control
The main circuit breaker is fully controlled from the
DCS SW via the two command signals “Close CB”
and “Open CB” together with the feedback signal “CB
is closed”.
The feedback signal is monitored both during start-up
and operation.
If the “CB is closed “ signal is not present 2s after the
“Close CB” command is given, the shutdown called
“17 Trip: No feedback from circuit breaker” will be
triggered.
If the “CB is closed” disappears during running, the
alarm “18 Warning: No feedback from circuit breaker”
will be given (no shutdown).
Pre-charge control
The frequency converter is provided with a special
pre-charging circuit.
To prevent high in-rush currents when closing the
main circuit breaker (MCB), the rectifier is provided
with a pre-charging circuit that besides from charging
the intermediate circuit capacitors also magnetizes
the transformer feeding the drive. This pre-charging
circuit is supplied from the converter’s aux. supply.
This allows closing of the MCB without any in-rush
current. With the Pre-charge circuit, only active
power consumption and with a GPA (Generator
Power Adaptation) system, the propulsion system is
to be considered as a non heavy consumer.
There is a two step monitoring of the Pre-charge
function.
The DC level in the DC-Link must become higher
than 10 % within 2 seconds.
The DC-level in the DC-Link must become higher
than 760 Volt within 10 seconds.
If either of these steps is not fulfilled, the system
shuts down with failure message "Pre-charging
failure".
It is also possible to select between pre-charging with
“Make before break” and “Break before make”
between Pre-charge and main circuit breaker. The

latter is used if there is no transformer between
switchboard and converter.
torque. In bollard condition the full torque will occur at
lower speed than in free run.
Lever in zero
If the converter is in DP/Joy or RCS mode the
inverter pulses and set point will be enabled directly
and the converter will change status to “Running” and
will follow the speed set point. The converter will stay
in running status until a stop command is received.
If the converter is not in DP/Joy or RCS mode it will
wait for the “Lever in zero” signal to confirm a lever
out of zero movement before the inverter pulses and
set point are enabled, then the converter will change
status to “Running” and will follow the speed set
point.
The “Lever in zero” signal can be a digital input or an
evaluation of the speed set point analog input.
RCS (Remote Control System) mode
If the levers on bridge are hardwired down to the
BlueDrive, the DCS SW must have a safety function
related start when the lever is out of zero.
If the levers are not hardwired but comes through a
RCS PLC with this safety function included, the DCS
SW may be parameterized without this function.
Always enable
If the converter is not in DP/Joy or RCS mode the
parameter “Always enable” is vital. When the
converter is in running status and the lever is put
back to zero and stays there for more than 3 minutes,
then the value of “Always enable” is evaluated.
If “Always enable” = 1, then “Running” status is kept
“Always enable” = 0, then the converter changes
status to “Ready to run”. This means that the inverter
pulses and set point are disabled. When the lever is
taken out of zero the next time there will be no
evaluation of the “Start interlock” signal as this
evaluation is only for the first enable after start.
Braking
When only one direction of rotation there is normally
no need to brake down the rpm, the propeller will just
be wind milling if the set point is lower than the actual
value.
The BlueDrive E has the following possibilities if
needed; braking chopper, flux braking or dynamic
braking towards the mains (AFE).
RPM mode
In this mode the converter will try to keep the
propeller speed constant and like the set point signal.
This is the default regulation mode and is preferred
for maneuvering and positioning.
Power mode
To obtain a stable generator load, the power
regulation mode is normally selected for use in
transit. With power control, the motor speed and
torque can change freely within its maximal limits.
This means that speed and torque are continuously
adapting themselves to obtain fixed power
consumption according to the power reference given
by the set point signal. This is important in heavy sea
condition.
DP / Joy mode
This mode is made for control from Dynamic
Positioning (DP) and Joystick system. The propeller
is speed controlled and always enabled. That means
that it does not need any “Lever in zero” to start.
Propellers for main propulsion are normally designed
for full power at full speed forward. The DP mode is
normally used when the ship is laying still (bollard
condition). Then the propeller can not use the drive
full power because the drive is limited by its maximal
Direction of rotation
Normally the DCS SW is set up for one direction of
rotation and a minimum speed. Other possibilities are
2 directions, 2 directions with minimum speed (zero
dead band) and 2 directions but a lower maximum
negative rpm than maximum positive rpm.
Slowdown
A slowdown request or an automatic slowdown
reduction is possible for rectifier high temp, inverter
high temp, motor high temp or an external DI. The
reduction level is a TP parameter. The Slowdown
may be delayed using the Override command.
Generator Power Adaption (GPA)
Limitation by generator power or current
In the main switchboard, each generator is equipped
with a power transducer and a current transducer.
The generator with highest load or highest current is
detected, and its highest level ( power or current ) is
sent to all the BlueDrive s onboard.
When this signal exceeds a preset level, all drives
are limited. If necessary, they will limit down to zero
load to prevent the generators from being
overloaded.
The GPA signal is monitored bye the DCS SW.
Limitation by generator frequency
When a diesel engine is overloaded, the engine
speed will drop. The propulsion converters will detect
this by measuring a drop in the frequency on its
supply. When this frequency drops below a set value
(57,5 Hz by 60 Hz nominal frequency), all drives are
limited. If necessary, they will limit down to zero load
to prevent the generators from being overloaded.
This function will prevent overload if the normal GPA
system fails. It will also detect fault in the supply of
fuel or air to the diesel engines.

Internal water cooling pumps
As a protection against insufficient cooling, or failures
in the cooling system, the DCS SW monitors both
cooling water flow and heat sink temperature. In
addition the water level in the expansion tank is
monitored, and in case of a leakage, an alarm is
given.
The DCS SW may be parameterized for no pumps,
one pump or two pumps and with or without pump
load monitoring.
For dual pump systems the pumps are alternated by
each start of the converter. When the converter is not
running, the pump(s) can be started and stopped
from the touch-panel for testing.
External water cooling pumps
The DCS SW may be parameterized for no pumps,
one pump or two pumps.
For dual pump systems the pumps are alternated by
each start of the converter. When the converter is not
running, the pump(s) can be started and stopped
from the touch-panel for testing.
GPA
Generator Power Adaptation (GPA)
In the main switchboard, each generator is equipped
with a power transducer that generates a signal
proportional to the generator load. The signal from
the generator with the highest load is
selected and sent to every propulsion converter on
the vessel. When this signal exceeds the value
corresponding to generator full load, all drives are
limited. If necessary, they will limit down to zero load
to prevent the generators from being overloaded.
If there are faults in the load sharing between the
diesel engines that drives the generators, the
converter drives will limit when the engine with the
highest load is at its maximum power.
(57,5 Hz by 60 Hz nominal frequency), all drives are
limited. If necessary, they will limit down to zero
load to prevent the generators from being
overloaded.
Power Regulation
Modes of operation
Speed reg. mode (RPM Mode):
In this mode the converter will try to keep the
propeller speed constant like the reference signal.
This is the default regulation mode and is preferred
for maneuvering and positioning.
DP mode:
This mode is made for control from Dynamic
Positioning (DP) and Joystick system. The propeller
is speed controlled and always enabled. That means
that it does not need any “throttle zero” to start.
Propellers for main propulsion are normally designed
for full power at full speed forward. The DP
mode are normally used when the ship is laying still
(bollard condition). Then the propeller can not
use the drive full power because the drive is limited
by its maximal torque. In bollard condition the
full torque will occur at lower speed than in free run.
Power reg. mode:
To obtain a stable generator load, the power
regulation mode is normally selected for use in
transit.
With power control, the motor speed and torque can
change freely within its maximal limits. This means
that speed and torque are continuously adapting
themselves to obtain fixed power consumption
according to the power reference given by the
reference signal. This is important in heavy sea
condition.
Limitation by generator current.
In the main switchboard, each generator is equipped
with a current transducer that generates a signal
proportional to the generator current. The signal from
the generator with the highest current
is selected and sent to every propulsion converter on
the vessel. When this signal exceeds the value
corresponding to generator nominal
current, all drives are limited. If necessary, they will
limit down to zero load to prevent the generators
from tripping on over current.
If there are faults in the voltage control of the
generators, the converter drives will limit when the
generator with the highest current is at its maximum.
Limitation by generator frequency.
When a diesel engine is overloaded, the engine
speed will drop. The propulsion converters will detect
this by measuring a drop in the frequency on its
supply. When this frequency drops below a set value

2.6 CUBICLE DESIGN
Mechanical structure
The standard Sicube system are designed for AC
voltages up to 1000V and with short circuit levels up
to 100kA 1s.
Frame
The frame, the cubicle's
load-bearing elements,
consists of rigid steel
sections that are linked
to one another. The
frame is bolted together.
There is used 2,5mm
sheet steel with
galvanised surface.
Top plates
The top plates are
bolted onto the frame
from the top. Moving the
cubicles by crane is
possible without taking
off the top plates. There
is used 2,0mm sheet
steel with powder
coated surface.
Bottom frame
For these systems there will normally be a bottom
frame with height 120mm. This bottom frame is made
of painted carbon steel and can be welded or bolted
to the foundation. Water pipes (stainless steel) run in
front and rear inside the frame. Due to weight
limitations the bottom frame lengths are limited to
approximately 4 meters.
Protective earth
A copper bar 40x10mm (1000A) run in front of each
cubicle for protective earthing. This copper bar may
be (optionally) insulated from the cubicle structure.
Ingress Protection
Standard Ingress protection is IP 22 (IEC 60529) with
open bottom and cable access from below.
Higher IP protections are available upon request
(option) IP44
Closed bottom may also be affiliated as option.
Surface treatment
Frame, top plate and side panels are galvanized.
Internal assembly plates are also galvanized.
Front panel and doors are powder painted.
Back panels and side panels
The back panels and side panels are bolted onto the
frame from the side. There is used 2,0mm sheet steel
with galvanized surface.
Cable entrance
All cable entrance via bottom. Cable access also via
top (option) is possible, but this depends on different
cubicle type and ingress protection required.
Panel doors
The panel doors are hinged with tree or four hinges
on each door. There is used 2,0mm sheet steel with
powder coated surface. Spring mounted locks
reliably prevent unintentional flying open of the doors.
At the same time, they permit a safe equalization of
pressure in the event of an arcing fault.
The doors open to an angle of approximately 180°
with single-cubicle arrangement and 140° with multicubicle arrangement.
Lifting and transportation
The Sicube system are designed for lifting from top in
sections up to approximately 4 meters.
Base plates
To seal the Sicube cubicles in the downward
direction, a multi-part galvanized steel plate can be
bolted into the frame (option). This base plate can be
perforated to pass through cables. For enhanced
requirements, the base opening can be sealed on
site with a commercially available sealing compound.
Cleaning
Washing, removal of grease, appliance of a 0,3 - 0,9
g/m² layer of iron phosphate.
Thereafter items are washed in clean water.
Hot rolled profiles are sandblasted before appliance
of iron phosphate.
Partition sheets
According to the required form of internal separation
partition sheets are available to separate the
cubicles. The partition sheets are located left-hand
inside the frame dimensions.

Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with
industrial security functions that support the secure
operation of plants, systems, machines and
networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and
networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to
implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’
products and solutions only form one element of such
a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized
access to its plants, systems, machines and
networks. Systems, machines and components
should only be connected to the enterprise network
or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with
appropriate security measures (e.g. use of firewalls
and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate
security measures should be taken into account. For
more information about industrial security, please
visit http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous
development to make them more secure. Siemens
strongly recommends applying product updates as
soon as available and to always use the latest
product versions. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates
may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to
the Siemens Industrial Security RSS Feed under
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
