12.14 Licensing
Description
To use the SINAMICS S120 drive system and the activated options, you need to assign the
corresponding licenses to the hardware. When doing so, you receive a license key, which
electronically links the relevant option with the hardware.
The license key is an electronic license stamp that indicates that one or more software
licenses are owned.
Actual customer verification of the license for the software that is subject to license is called
a certificate of license.
Note
Refer to the order documentation (e.g. catalogs) for information on basic functions and
functions subject to license.
An insufficient license is indicated via the following alarm and LED on the Control Unit:
● A13000 License not sufficient
● READY LED Flashes green/red at 0.5 Hz
Information regarding the Performance 1 option (this is not valid for Control Unit CU310)
The Performance 1 option (order number: 6SL3074-0AA01-0AA0) is required from a
computation time utilization greater than 50%. The remaining computation time is displayed
in parameter r9976[2]. As of a CPU runtime utilization greater than 50%, alarm A13000 is
output and the READY LED on the Control Unit flashes green/red at 0.5 Hz.
