Voltage Sensing Module VSM10 7

7.1 Description
The Voltage Sensing Module VSM10 is an expansion module for snapping on to a standard
mounting rail acc. to EN 60715. It is used to sense the actual value of a voltage. For
example, it can be used to sense the three-phase line supply voltage, which is then provided
to the closed-loop control. The phase differential voltage can be measured, either grounded
(in the delivery state) or isolated.
The Voltage Sensing Module can be used for the following line types:
● Up to 600 V 3-ph. AC for all line types
● Up to 690 V 3-ph. AC for networks with grounded start point and IT networks
A 100 V 3-ph. AC input is available for transducer transformers. It is not permissible to use
both voltage connections simultaneously!
For booksize units, these components can be optionally used to increase the degree of
ruggedness against irregularities in the line supply.
A VSM is already integrated for Active Interface Modules Chassis and Smart Line Modules
Chassis.
In addition to the voltage sensing, a temperature sensor can be connector to the VSM10 to
thermally monitor the line reactor. Further, the functionality of the line filter can checked
using two analog inputs. All data recorded are transferred to the higher-level system via
DRIVE-CLiQ.
The Voltage Sensing Module achieves radio interference category C2 with limit classes A1
for interference voltage and A for emitted interference.

7.2 Safety instructions for the Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10)

WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 19) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account remaining risks.

WARNING
Risk of fire through overheating if there are insufficient ventilation clearances
Insufficient ventilation clearances lead to overheating with associated risk to persons as a
result of smoke and fire. This can also result in more downtimes and reduced service lives
of the Voltage Sensing Module.
• For this reason, it is imperative that you maintain the 50 mm clearances above and
below the Voltage Sensing Module.

NOTICE
Destruction of the VSM10 as a result of voltage measurements incorrectly carried out
If the voltage measurement is carried out incorrectly, the VSM10 can be destroyed as a
result of the high voltage stress across the insulating clearance.
• When using long motor cables, it is not permissible that the output voltage of the Motor
Module is directly measured at the motor.

NOTICE
Destruction of the VSM10 as a result of a terminal assignment which is not permissible
The VSM10 has two terminal strips, X521 and X522, to sense the three-phase line supply
voltage. A terminal assignment which is not permissible results in the module being
destroyed.
• Use just one of the two terminal strips.
• Only connect voltages to terminal strip X521 up to a maximum 100 V (phase-to-phase)
via a transformer.
• Only connect voltages to terminal strip X522 up to a maximum 690 V (phase-to-phase)
directly.

7.2 Safety instructions for the Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10)

NOTICE
Damage through use of incorrect DRIVE-CLiQ cables
Damage or malfunctions can occur on the devices or system when incorrect or unreleased
DRIVE-CLiQ cables are used.
• Only use suitable DRIVE-CLiQ cables that have been released by Siemens for the
respective application.

Note
Function equipotential bonding for distributed DRIVE-CLiQ nodes
Integrate all of the components that are connected via DRIVE-CLiQ in the functional
equipotential bonding concept. The connection should be preferably established by mounting
on metallic bare machine and plant components that are connected with one another using
an equipotential bonding conductor.
Alternatively, you can establish equipotential bonding using a conductor (min. 6 mm²), which
as far as possible, is routed in parallel to the DRIVE-CLiQ cable. All distributed DRIVE-CLiQ
nodes are involved, for example DME20, SME20, SME25, SME120, SME125 etc.

Note
Malfunctions due to polluted DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
Malfunctions can occur in the system through the use of polluted DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces.
• Cover unused DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces with the supplied blanking covers.

Note
Malfunctions when using various generations of the VSM10 with parallel infeed
When connecting infeeds in parallel, only Voltage Sensing Modules of the same generation
may be used (either 6SL3053-0AA00-3AA0 or 6SL3053-0AA00-3AA1), as otherwise
malfunctions can occur.
• Especially when replacing a VSM10 (Page 226)it is important that all of the other VSM10
connected in parallel are replaced.

Note
Permissible voltage values
The common mode range must not be violated in order to avoid incorrect analog-digital
conversion results. The following voltages are permissible:
• Input voltage: ±30 V (destruction limit)
• Common mode voltage: ±10 V with respect to ground potential (increased errors when
exceeded)

NOTICE
Damage to motor in the event of incorrectly connected KTY temperature sensor
If a KTY temperature sensor is connected with incorrect polarity, it is not possible to detect
when the motor overheats. Overheating can cause damage to the motor.
• Connect a KTY temperature sensor with the correct polarity.

Note
In order to minimize noise emission, shielded cables should be used.

Note
The maximum cable length for a shielded cable applied on both sides to the temperature
sensor and to the analog inputs is 30 m.

WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of voltage flashovers on the temperature
sensor cable
Voltage flashovers in the signal electronics can occur in motors without safe electrical
separation of the temperature sensors.
• Only use temperature sensors that fully comply with the specifications of the safety
isolation.
• If safe electrical separation cannot be guaranteed (for linear motors or third-party
motors, for example), use a Sensor Module External (SME120 or SME125) or Terminal
Module TM120.

NOTICE
Damage to the VSM10 as a result of an impermissible terminal assignment

voltage. A terminal assignment which is not permissible results in the module being
damaged.
• Use just one of the two terminal strips.
• Only connect voltages to terminal strip X521 up to a maximum 100 V (phase-to-phase)

voltage. A terminal assignment which is not permissible results in the module being

NOTICE
Damage to the VSM10 through overcurrent with an incorrect connection sequence
Enabling the Line Module with an incorrect connection sequence results in overcurrent.
• Connect the line phases to the VSM10 in the same sequence as the one to the Line
Module.

Note
Line voltage tap
If the configuration has a line filter, then the phase voltages for the VSM (X522) must be
taken from in front of the line filter. If the configuration does not have a line filter, then X522
must be connected to the line side of the line reactor (voltages are taken from in front of the
line reactor).
