Loading Parameters into Siemens G120


Variable Frequency Drive
used on Fusion™ concrete batch plants
This guide discusses the procedure for loading operating parameters into the
Siemens G120 VFD. These VFDs are used to control the speed of feeder belts and
collecting conveyor belt on Fusion™ concrete batch plants. The procedure will use
the Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP) located on the front of the VFD. The VFDs
are located in the main electrical panel on the aggregate blending unit.
The IOP can be used to load parameters into the VFD in the event that:
• Parameters become corrupted
• You suspect unusual VFD activity
• A new VFD has just been installed
• The VFD has had a master reset performed on it.
Parameters will be loaded onto the VFD's internal drive from a backup SD card
installed in the VFD. This is a specific type of SD card, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Siemens memory card.
NOTE: Other types of SD cards, such as those sold at retail stores, etc., will not work. CEI part # 0101129.

Check to see that the proper SD card


is installed in the VFD, as shown in
Figures 2 and 3.
If you do not have one of these SD
cards, they are available from the CEI
Parts Department, part # 0101129.
CEI recommends having one of these
SD cards installed in each VFD on
your Fusion plant. This will assist with
parameter backup, and reduce downtime
in the event they are needed.
The Siemens VFDs used by CEI are
specific to the horsepower of the motor
being controlled. If you find that you
need a new VFD, please refer to the
replacement parts table at the end of this
Service and Troubleshooting Guide.

Procedure
1. Select either the Collecting
Conveyor or Feeder IOP, depending
on which component you will be
working with. If the VFD has just
started up, and the IOP screen is
displaying the message shown in
Figure 4, you must wait until the
VFD has sufficiently powered up and
is ready to use or program.
When the VFD is ready to be used,
the screen will display the message ESC OK INFO ESC OK INFO
shown in Figure 5.
Note the icons in the upper right
corner of the screen. The icon O HAND

The parameter loading procedure can
be done in either AUTO or HAND
mode. The VFD should be idle
before performing the procedure.

The OK button is activated by
pressing the round knob inward.
Selections are changed by rotating the
OK button either left or right.
We advise using two fingers to
press the OK button, as it is easy to
accidentally rotate the button and
accidentally select the wrong option.
The ESC button undoes the previous
selection.

feeding the VFD that you just loaded
parameters into. (See labels on the
back panel of the electrical box).
11. Rotate the handle to the OFF
position, removing power from the
VFD (Figure 14).
NOTE: the VFD is powered off only
when the lights and panel are black.
This may take up to 5 minutes.
