Commissioning of motors with variable star-delta changeover
The contactors for star-delta switching can be controlled via the drive (SINAMICS S120) or
the control system (PLC).
For circuit design and parameterization refer to the information in the SINAMICS S120 Drive
Function Manual (Chapter 12.5) or SINUMERIK 840D sl PLC Function Manual.
