1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Vacon 100 product range embodies a wide selection of expander boards with which the available I/
O of Vacon 100 frequency converter can be increased and its versatility improved.
The input and output configuration (I/O) of Vacon 100 is designed with modularity in mind. The total
I/O is comprised of basic and option boards, each having its own input and output configuration. The
boards contain analogue and digital inputs and outputs and additional application-specific hard-
ware.
The option boards are placed in the board slots on the frequency converter. The I/O boards are usu-
ally interchangeable between different Vacon converter types, i.e. Vacon 100 and Vacon NX series.
However, the control boards of these types differ from each other to some extent which means that
the use of some I/O boards in different Vacon frequency converter types may be restricted.
1.1 Board slots on Vacon 100
The control board is situated inside the control unit of the Vacon 100 drive. There are two board slots
(labelled D and E) on the Vacon 100 HVAC control board and three board slots (labelled C, D and E)
on the Vacon 100 control board. To locate the slots, see page 12. See also the descriptions of the
option boards in Chapter 3.
Usually, when the AC drive is delivered from the factory, the control unit includes at least the stan-
dard board, which is installed in the standard board slot. The I/O boards mounted at the factory are
indicated in the type code of the frequency converter. The expander slots D, E (Vacon100 HVAC) and
C, D, E (Vacon 100) are available for different option boards.

NOTE! You can download the English and French product manuals with applicable safety,
warning and caution information from www.vacon.com/downloads.

1.2.2 Isolation
The control connections are isolated from the mains potential and the I/O ground is connected di-
rectly to the frame of the frequency converter. Digital inputs and relay outputs are isolated from the
I/O ground. For digital input arrangements, see Chapter Digital input signal conversions on page 5.

1.2.3 Analogue inputs

The analogue inputs of the type B boards can be used as either current inputs or voltage (mA/V) in-
puts (see detailed description of each board). The signal type is selected with a jumper block (B-
type boards), or a dip switch (F-type boards) on the board. In case the voltage type input is used you
still have to define the voltage range with another jumper block/dip switch. The factory default value
for the analogue signal type is given in the description of the board. For detailed information, see
the description of the board in question.

1.2.4 Analogue outputs

The analogue outputs of option boards of type B are used with current (mA) signal only. However,
on some certain option boards the signal type (mA/V) can be selected with a jumper/dip switch. See
more detailed information on individual boards in chapter 3.

1.2.5 Control voltage (+24V/ext +24V)

The control voltage output +24V/EXT+24V can be used in two ways. Typically, the +24V control volt-
age is wired to digital inputs through an external switch. The control voltage can also be used to
power-up external equipment, such as encoders and auxiliary relays.
Observe that the specified total load on all available +24V/EXT+24V output terminals must not ex-
ceed 250mA.
The +24V/EXT+24V outputs can further be used to externally power up the control board as well as
option boards. If an external power supply is connected to EXT+24V output, the control board and
option boards remain live even if mains should be lost on the frequency converter. This ensures suf-
ficient functioning of the control logic (not the motor control, however) and some alarms in excep-
tional power-loss situations. Furthermore, fieldbus links remain powered which enables e.g. the
Fieldbus Master to read valuable data on the frequency converter. NOTE: The power unit is not pow-
ered through the EXT+24V and therefore the motor control does not work if the mains is lost.
Requirements for an external power back-up:
• output voltage +24DC±10%, max. ripple voltage 100mV RMS
• max. current 1A
• 1A external fuse (no internal short-circuit protection on the control board)

NOTE: Analogue outputs and inputs do not work with only +24V supplied to the control unit.
If there is a +24V/EXT+24V output on the board it is short-circuit protected locally. Should one of the
+24V/EXT+24V outputs shortcircuit, the others would remain powered because of the local protec-
tion.

1.2.6 Digital input signal conversions

The active signal level depends on which potential the common input CMA is connected to. The al-
ternatives are +24V or Ground (0V). See 1, 2 and 3.
The 24-volt control voltage and the ground for the digital inputs and the common input (CMA) can
be either internal or external.
Some typical input signal conversion examples are shown below. If you use the internal +24V from
the frequency converter, the following arrangements are possible:

jumper block in the 'CMA isolated from GND' position (as above) and wire the CMA terminal to the
GND terminal of the frequency converter.

1.3 Hardware protections

1.3.1 Terminal block coding

In order to avoid incorrect connections of terminal blocks to boards, some terminal blocks as well
as related terminal connectors on the board are uniquely coded. For more information, see the de-
scription of the individual board.
1.4 Type identification number
NOTE: This information is relevant only for special applications designers using the Vacon Live en-
gineering tool.
Each Vacon OPTxx board has a unique type designation code. Besides the type designation code,
each board has a unique Type identification number which is used by the system program to identify
which board is plugged into the board slot. The system program and the application use the Type ID
also to establish the needed connections in order to achieve the desired functionality of the avail-
able I/O boards in the control unit. The ID code is loaded in the memory of the board.
1.5 Defining functions to inputs and outputs - programming
The programming of digital inputs and outputs is very flexible. There are no digital terminals as-
signed 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.

1.5.1 Example programming

The selectable values of the parameters programmed are of type
DigIN SlotA.1
in which
‘DigIN’ stands for digital input.
‘Slot_’ refers to the board; either Vacon AC drive basic boards, or D and E which are option boards
(see 4). The parameter (signal) is not connected to any terminal, i.e. it is not used, if, instead of a
letter, the word Slot is followed by a ‘0’ (for example DigIN Slot0.1).
The number after the board letter refers to the respective terminal on the selected board. Hence,
SlotX.1 means terminal DI1 on the basic board in board slot A.

With B-type boards, make sure that the sticker on the connector of the board says “dv” (dual volt-
age). This indicates that the board is compatible with Vacon drives mentioned in this manual. See
below:
NOTE: Incompatible boards cannot be installed on Vacon drives. Compatible boards have a slot
coding that enable the placing of the board (see below).

2.2 Prepare for use

We recommend to ground the control cables in the manner presented below. Note that the images
are suggestive, because the cables can vary.

Strip about 15 mm of the cable and cut off the grey cable shield. Remember to do
this for both cables.
Leave no more than 10 mm of the cable outside the terminal block and strip the
cables at about 5 mm to fit in the terminals. See picture below.

3 Also strip the cable now at such a distance from the terminal that you can fix it to
the frame with the grounding clamp. Strip the cable at a maximum length of 15
mm. Do not strip the aluminum cable shield!

Then connect the cable to its appropriate terminals on the option board terminal
4 block.
Using the cable clamp included in the delivery of the drive, ground the shield of
the option board cable to the frame of the AC drive.

Unless already done for the other control cables,

cut free the opening on the AC drive cover for the
option board cable (protection class IP21).
NOTE: Cut the opening on the same side you
have installed the board in!

Remount the AC drive cover and run the cable as

shown in picture.
NOTE: When planning the cable runs, remember
to keep the distance between the option board
cable and the motor cable at a minimum of 30
cm. It is recommended to route the option board
cables away from the power cables as shown in
the picture.
