2. KEYPAD OF THE DRIVE

The control keypad is the interface between the Vacon 100 frequency converter and the user. With
the control keypad it is possible to control the speed of a motor, to supervise the state of the
equipment and to set the frequency converter's parameters.
There are two keypad types you can choose for your user interface: Keypad with graphical display
and keypad with text segment display (text keypad).
The button section of the keypad is identical for both keypad types.

Instructions for how to reset a fault can be found in Chapter 3.8.1 on page 110.

2.1.2.3 Local/Remote control button

The LOC/REM button is used for two functions: to quickly access the Control page and to easily
change between the Local (Keypad) and Remote control places.
Control places
The control place is the source of control where the drive can be started and stopped. Every
control place has its own parameter for selecting the frequency reference source. In the HVAC
drive, the Local control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is determined by
parameter P1.15 (I/O or Fieldbus). The selected control place can be seen on the status bar of the
keypad.
Remote control place
I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus can be used as remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus have the lowest
priority and can be chosen with parameter P3.2.1 (Rem Control Place). I/O B, again, can bypass
the remote control place selected with parameter P3.2.1 using a digital input. The digital input is
selected with parameter P3.5.1.5 (I/O B Ctrl Force).
Local control
Keypad is always used as control place while in local control. Local control has higher priority than
remote control. Therefore, if, for example, bypassed by parameter P3.5.1.5 through digital input
while in Remote, the control place will still switch to Keypad if Local is selected. Switching
between Local and Remote Control can be done by pressing the Loc/Rem-button on the keypad or
by using the "Local/Remote" (ID211) parameter.
Changing control places
Change of control place from Remote to Local (keypad).
1. Anywhere in the menu structure, push the Loc/Rem button.
2. Push the Arrow up or the Arrow down button to select Local/Remote and confirm with the
OK button.
3. On the next display, select Local or Remote and again confirm with the OK button.
4. The display will return to the same location as it was when the Loc/Rem button was pushed.
However, if the Remote control place was changed to Local (Keypad) you will be prompted for

2.1.2.4 Copying parameters

NOTE! This feature is available in graphical keypad only.
The parameter copy function can be used to copy parameters from one drive to another.
The parameters are first saved to the keypad, then the keypad is detached and connected to another
drive. Finally the parameters are downloaded to the new drive restoring them from the keypad.
Before any parameters can successfully be copied from one drive to another the drive has to be
stopped when the parameters are downloaded.
• First go into User settings menu and locate the Parameter backup submenu.
In the Parameter backup submenu, there are three possible functions to be selected:
• Restore factory defaults will re-establish the parameter settings originally made
at the factory.
• By selecting Save to keypad you can copy all parameters to the keypad.
• Restore from keypad will copy all parameters from keypad to a drive.

3. VACON HVAC APPLICATION

The Vacon HVAC drive contains a preloaded application for instant use.
The parameters of this application are listed in Chapter 3.6 of this manual and explained in more
detail in Chapter 3.7.

3.1 Specific functions of Vacon HVAC application

The Vacon HVAC application is an easy-to-use application for not only basic Pump and Fan
applications where only one motor and one drive is needed but also offers extensive possibilities for
PID control.
Features
• Start-Up Wizard for extremely fast setup for basic pump or fan applications.
• Mini-Wizards to ease the setup of applications.
• Loc/Rem button for easy change between Local (keypad) and Remote control place. The
remote control place is selectable by parameter. (I/O or Fieldbus)
• Control page for easy operation and monitoring of the most essential values.
• Run interlock input (Damper interlock). Drive will not start before this input is activated.
• Different pre-heat modes used to avoid condensation problems.
• Maximum output frequency 320 Hz
• Real-time clock and timer functions available (optional battery required). Possible to pro-
gram 3 time channels to achieve different functions on the drive (e.g. Start/Stop and Preset
frequencies).
• External PID-controller available. Can be used to control e.g. a valve using the drive’s I/O.
• Sleep mode function which automatically enables and disables drive running with user
defined levels to save energy.
• 2-zone PID-controller (2 different feedback signals; minimum and maximum control).
• Two setpoint sources for the PID-control. Selectable with digital input.
• PID setpoint boost function
• Feedforward function to improve the response to the process changes.
• Process value supervision
• Multi-Pump control
• Pressure loss compensation for compensating pressure losses in the pipework e.g. when
sensor is incorrectly placed near the pump or fan.

3.4 HVAC Application - Quick setup parameter group

The Quick Setup parameter group is a collection of parameters that are most commonly used
during installation and commissioning. They are collected in the first parameter group so that they
can be found fast and easily. They can, however, be also reached and edited in their actual
parameter groups. Changing a parameter value in the Quick setup group also changes the value of
this parameter in its actual group.

3.6.2 Parameter programming

The programming of digital inputs in Vacon HVAC Application is very flexible. There are no digital
terminals assigned only for certain function. You can choose the terminal of your choice for the
certain function, in other words, functions appear as parameters which the operator defines a
certain input for. For a list of functions for the digital inputs, see Table 45 on page 55.
Also Time Channels can be assigned to digital inputs. See more information on page 69.
The selectable values of the programmable parameters are of type
DigIN SlotA.1 (graphical keypad) or
dI A.1 (text keypad)
in which
‘DigIN / dI’ stand for digital input.
‘Slot_’ refers to the board;
A and B are Vacon AC drive standard boards, D and E are option boards (see Figure 14). See
Chapter 3.6.2.3.
The number after the board letter refers to the respective terminal on the selected board. Hence,
SlotA.1 / A.1 means terminal DIN1 on the standard board in board slot A. The parameter (signal) is
not connected to any terminal, i.e. it is not used, if, instead of a letter, the final number is preceded
by a ‘0’ (for example DigIN Slot0.1 / dI 0.1).

3.6.11 Group 3.9: Protections

Parameters of Motor thermal protection (P3.9.6 to P3.9.10)
The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The drive is capable of
supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load requires this high current there is a
risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded. This is the case especially at low frequencies. At
low frequencies the cooling effect of the motor is reduced as well as its capacity. If the motor is
equipped with an external fan the load reduction at low speeds is small.
The motor thermal protection is based on a calculated model and it uses the output current of the
drive to determine the load on the motor.
The motor thermal protection can be adjusted with parameters. The thermal current IT specifies
the load current above which the motor is overloaded. This current limit is a function of the output
frequency.
The thermal stage of the motor can be monitored on the control keypad display. See Chapter 3.5.

If you use long motor cables (max. 100 m) together with small drives (≤ 1.5 kW) the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor
current due to capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up
13006.emf

the motor thermal protection functions.

The calculated model does not protect the motor if the airflow to the motor is
reduced by blocked air intake grill. If the control board is powered off, the model is
initialised based on the value which had been calculated before the power off
13006.emf

(memory functionality).

Parameters of Stall protection (P3.9.11 to P3.9.14)

The motor stall protection protects the motor from short time overload situations such as one
caused by a stalled shaft. The reaction time of the stall protection can be set shorter than that of
motor thermal protection. The stall state is defined with two parameters, P3.9.12 (Stall current) and
P3.9.14 (Stall frequency limit). If the current is higher than the set limit and the output frequency
is lower than the set limit the stall state is true. There is actually no real indication of the shaft
rotation. Stall protection is a type of overcurrent protection.

If you use long motor cables (max. 100 m) together with small drives (≤ 1.5 kW) the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor
current due to capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up
13006.emf

the motor thermal protection functions.

Parameters of Underload protection (P3.9.15 to P3.9.18)

The purpose of the motor underload protection is to ensure that there is load on the motor when
the drive is running. If the motor loses its load there might be a problem in the process, e.g. a bro-
ken belt or a dry pump.
Motor underload protection can be adjusted by setting the underload curve with parameters P3.9.16
(Underload protection: Field weakening area load) and P3.9.17 (Underload protection: Zero fre-
quency load), see below. The underload curve is a squared curve set between the zero frequency
and the field weakening point. The protection is not active below 5Hz (the underload time counter
is stopped).

The torque values for setting the underload curve are set in percentage which refers to the nominal
torque of the motor. The motor's name plate data, parameter motor nominal current and the drive's

nominal current IL are used to find the scaling ratio for the internal torque value. If other than
nominal motor is used with the drive, the accuracy of the torque calculation decreases.

If you use long motor cables (max. 100 m) together with small drives (≤ 1.5 kW) the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor
current due to capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up

3.6.13 Group 3.11: Timer functions

The time functions (Time Channels) in the Vacon 100 give you the possibility to program functions
to be controlled by the internal RTC (Real Time Clock). Practically every function that can be
controlled by a digital input can also be controlled by a Time Channel. Instead of having an external
PLC controlling a digital input you can program the "closed" and "opened" intervals of the input
internally.
NOTE! The functions of this parameter group can be made the fullest advantage of only if the
battery (option) has been installed and the Real Time Clock settings have been properly made
during the Startup Wizard (see page 2 and page 3). It is not recommended to use these function
without battery backup because the drive’s time and date settings will be reset at every power down
if no battery for the RTC is installed.
Time channels
The on/off logic for the Time channels is configured by assigning Intervals or/and Timers to them.
One Time channel can be controlled by many Intervals or Timers by assigning as many of these as
needed to the Time channel.

Figure 15. The intervals and timers can be assigned to time channels in a flexible way.
Every interval and timer has its own parameter for assigning to a time channel.

Intervals
Every interval is given an "ON Time" and "OFF Time" with parameters. This is the daily time that the
interval will be active during the days set with "From Day" and “To Day” parameters. E.g. the pa-
rameter setting below means that the interval is active from 7 am to 9 am every weekday (Monday
to Friday). The Time Channel to which this Interval is assigned will be seen as a closed "virtual dig-
ital input" during that period.
ON Time: 07:00:00
OFF Time: 09:00:00
From Day: Monday
To Day: Friday

Timers
Timers can be used to set a Time Channel active during a certain time by command from a digital
input (or a Time Channel).

9137.emf

Figure 16. Activation signal comes from a digital input or " a virtual digital input" such as a Time
channel. The Timer counts down from falling edge.

The below parameters will set the Timer active when Digital Input 1 on Slot A is closed and keep it
active for 30 s after it is opened.
Duration: 30 s
Timer: DigIn SlotA.1
Tip: A duration of 0 seconds can be used for simply overriding a Time channel activated from a
digital input without any off delay after the falling edge.

EXAMPLE
Problem:
We have a frequency converter for air conditioning in a warehouse. It needs to run between 7 am -
5 pm on weekdays and 9 am - 1 pm on weekends. Additionally, we need to be able to manually force
the drive to run outside working hours if there are people in the building and to leave it running for
30 min afterwards.
Solution:
We need to set up two intervals, one for weekdays and one for weekends. A Timer is also needed
for activation outside the office hours. An example of configuration below.
Interval 1:
P3.11.1.1: ON Time: 07:00:00
P3.11.1.2: OFF Time: 17:00:00
P3.11.1.3: From Day: ‘1’ (= Monday)
P3.11.1.4: To Day: ‘5’ (= Friday)
P3.11.1.5: Assign to channel: Time channel 1
Interval 2:
P3.11.2.1: ON Time: 09:00:00
P3.11.2.2: OFF Time: 13:00:00
P3.11.2.3: From Day: Saturday

Feedforward usually needs accurate process models, but in some simple cases a gain + offset type
of feedforward is enough. The feedforward part does not use any feedback measurements of the
actual controlled process value (water level in the example on page 102). Vacon feedforward
control uses other measurements which are indirectly affecting the controlled process value.

3.6.16 Group 3.14: Multi-pump

The Multi-pump functionality allows you to control up to 4 motors (pumps, fans) with PID controller
1. The AC drive is connected to one motor which is the "regulating" motor connecting and
disconnecting the other motors to/from the mains, by means of contactors controlled with relays
when needed in order to maintain the right setpoint. The Autochange function controls the order/
priority in which the motors are started in order to guarantee their equal wear. The controlling
motor can be included in the autochange and interlocks logic, or, it may be selected to always
functions as Motor 1. Motors can be taken out of use momentarily, e.g. for service, using the motor

3.7 HVAC Application - Additional parameter information

Due to its user-friendliness and simplicity of use, the most parameters of the Vacon HVAC
Application only require a basic description which is given in the parameter tables in Chapter 3.6.
In this chapter, you will find additional information on certain most advanced parameters of the
Vacon HVAC Application. Should you not find the information you need contact your distributor.

P3.1.1.7 MOTOR CURRENT LIMIT

This parameter determines the maximum motor current from the AC drive. The parameter value
range differs from size to size.
When the current limit is active the drive output frequency is decreased.
NOTE! This is not an overcurrent trip limit.

P3.1.2.9 U/F RATIO SELECTION

Selection
Selection name Description
number
The voltage of the motor changes linearly as a function of
output frequency from zero frequency voltage (P3.1.2.4) to the
0 Linear field weakening point (FWP) voltage at FWP frequency. This
default setting should be used if there is no special need for
another setting.
The voltage of the motor changes from zero point voltage
(P3.1.2.4) following a squared curve form from zero to the field
weakening point. The motor runs undermagnetised below the
1 Squared field weakening point and produces less torque. Squared U/f
ratio can be used in applications where torque demand is
proportional to the square of the speed, e.g. in centrifugal fans
and pumps.

 vacon • 85 Vacon HVAC Application

P3.1.2.15 OVERVOLTAGE CONTROLLER

P3.1.2.16 UNDERVOLTAGE CONTROLLER
These parameters allow the under-/overvoltage controllers to be switched out of operation. This
may be useful, for example, if the mains supply voltage varies more than -15% to +10% and the
application will not tolerate this over-/undervoltage. In this case, the regulator controls the output
frequency taking the supply fluctuations into account.

P3.1.2.17 STATOR VOLTAGE ADJUST

Stator voltage adjust parameter is used only when Permanent magnet motor (PM motor) has been
selected for parameter P3.1.1.8. This parameter has no affect if Induction motor has been selected.
With an induction motor in use, the value has been internally forced to 100% and it cannot be
changed.
When the value of parameter P3.1.1.8 (Motor type) parameter is changed to PM Motor, the U/f curve
will be automatically extended up to the limits of the drive's full output voltage, retaining the defined
U/f-ratio. This internal extension is done to avoid running the PM motor in the field weakening area
because the PM motor nominal voltage is typically much lower than the full output voltage
capability of the drive.
PM motor nominal voltage typically represents the motor’s back-EMF voltage at nominal
frequency, but depending on the motor manufacturer, it may represent e.g. the stator voltage at
nominal load.
This parameter gives an easy way to adjust the drive’s U/f curve near to the motor’s back-
EMF-curve without needing to change several U/f curve parameters.
The Stator voltage adjust parameter defines the drive’s output voltage in percent of the
motor’snominal voltage at the motor’s nominal frequency.
The U/f curve of the drive is typically tuned slightly above the back-EMF curve of the motor.
Themotor current increases the more the drive’s U/f-curve differs from the motor’s back-EMF -
curve.

P3.2.5 STOP FUNCTION

Selection
Selection name Description
number
The motor is allowed to stop on its own inertia. The control by
0 Coasting the drive is discontinued and the drive current drops to zero as
soon as the stop command is given.
After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated
1 Ramp
according to the set deceleration parameters to zero speed.

P3.2.6 I/O START/STOP LOGIC

Values 0...4 offer possibilities to control the starting and stopping of the AC drive with digital signal
connected to digital inputs. CS = Control signal.
The selections including the text 'edge' shall be used to exclude the possibility of an unintentional
start when, for example, power is connected, re-connected after a power failure, after a fault reset,
after the drive is stopped by Run Enable (Run Enable = False) or when the control place is changed
to I/O control. The Start/Stop contact must be opened before the motor can be started.
The used stop mode is Coasting in all examples.

P3.3.10 PRESET FREQUENCY MODE

You can use the preset frequency parameters to define certain frequency references in advance.
These references are then applied by activating/inactivating digital inputs connected to parameters
P3.5.1.15, P3.5.1.16 and P3.5.1.17 (Preset frequency selection 0, Preset frequency selection 1 and
Preset frequency selection 2). Two different logics can be selected:

P3.4.1 RAMP 1 SHAPE

The start and end of acceleration and deceleration ramps can be smoothed with this parameter.
Setting value 0 gives a linear ramp shape which causes acceleration and deceleration to act
immediately to the changes in the reference signal.
Setting value 0.1…10 seconds for this parameter produces an S-shaped acceleration/deceleration.
The acceleration time is determined with parameters P3.4.2 and P3.4.3. See Figure 24.
These parameters are used to reduce mechanical erosion and current spikes when the reference
is changed.

P3.4.12 FLUX BRAKING

Instead of DC braking, flux braking is a useful way to raise the braking capacity in cases where
additional brake resistors are not needed.
When braking is needed, the frequency is reduced and the flux in the motor is increased, which in
turn increases the motor's capability to brake. Unlike DC braking, the motor speed remains
controlled during braking.
The flux braking can be set ON or OFF.
NOTE! Flux braking converts the energy into heat at the motor, and should be used intermittently
to avoid motor damage.

P3.9.2 RESPONSE TO EXTERNAL FAULT

An alarm message or a fault action and message is generated by an external fault external fault
signal in one of the programmable digital inputs (DI3 by default) using parameters P3.5.1.7 and
P3.5.1.8. The information can also be programmed into any of the relay outputs.

P3.9.8 MOTOR THERMAL ZERO SPEED COOLING

Defines the cooling factor at zero speed in relation to the point where the motor is running at nom-
inal speed without external cooling. See Table 55.
The default value is set assuming that there is no external fan cooling the motor. If an external fan
is used this parameter can be set to 90% (or even higher).
If you change the parameter P3.1.1.4 (Motor nominal current), this parameter is automatically re-
stored to the default value.
Setting this parameter does not affect the maximum output current of the drive which is determined
by parameter P3.1.1.7 alone.
The corner frequency for the thermal protection is 70% of the motor nominal frequency (P3.1.1.2).

P3.9.9 MOTOR THERMAL TIME CONSTANT

The time constant is the time within which the calculated thermal stage has reached 63% of its final
value. The bigger the frame and/or slower the speed of the motor, the longer the time constant.
The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between different motor man-
ufacturers. The default value of the parameter varies from size to size.
If the motor's t6-time (t6 is the time in seconds the motor can safely operate at six times the rated
current) is known (given by the motor manufacturer) the time constant parameter can be set basing
on it. As a rule of thumb, the motor thermal time constant in minutes equals to 2*t6. If the drive is
in stop stage the time constant is internally increased to three times the set parameter value. The
cooling in stop stage is based on convection and the time constant is increased.
See Figure 27.

P3.12.4.1 FEEDFORWARD FUNCTION

Feedforward usually needs accurate process models, but in some simple cases a gain + offset type
of feedforward is enough. The feedforward part does not use any feedback measurements of the
actual controlled process value (water level in the example on page 102). Vacon feedforward
control uses other measurements which are indirectly affecting the controlled process value.
Example 1:
Controlling the water level of a tank by means of flow control. The desired water level has been
defined as a setpoint and the actual level as feedback. The control signal acts on the incoming flow.
The outflow could be thought of as a disturbance that can be measured. Based on the
measurements of the disturbance, we can try to compensate for this disturbance by simple
feedforward control (gain and offset) which is added to the PID output.
This way the controller would react much faster to changes in the outflow than if you just had
measured the level.

If pressurizing a long pipe with many outlets, the best place for the sensor would probably be

the pump. This will give the right pressure directly after the pump, but farther down in the pipe the

Enable this function to use the interlocks. Choose the needed status for each motor by digital inputs
(parameters P3.5.1.25 to P3.5.1.28). If the input is closed (TRUE) the motor is available for the Multi
Pump system, otherwise it will not be connected by the Multi Pump logic.

Now, the interlock of motor 3 is removed, i.e. the value of parameter P3.5.1.27 is set to FALSE, the
order changes to:
1->2->4->5
If motor 3 is taken into use again (changing the value of parameter P3.5.1.27 to TRUE) the system
runs on without stopping and motor 3 is placed last in the sequence:

3.8 HVAC Application - Fault tracing

When an unusual operating condition is detected by the AC drive control diagnostics, the drive ini-
tiates a notification visible, for example, on the keypad. The keypad will show the code, the name
and a short description of the fault or alarm.
The notifications vary in consequence and required action. Faults make the drive stop and require
reset of the drive. Alarms inform of unusual operating conditions but the drive will continue
running. Infos may require resetting but do not affect the functioning of the drive.
For some faults you can program different responses in the application. See parameter group Pro-
tections.
The fault can be reset with the Reset button on the control keypad or via the I/O terminal. The faults
are stored in the Fault history menu which can be browsed. The different fault codes you will find
in the Table 74 below.
NOTE! When contacting distributor or factory because of a fault condition, always write down all
texts and codes on the keypad display.
