OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Code 280S series drive is a tachometer feedback three-phase voltage regulator using controlled diodes (SCR)
driven by phase-limiting system. The voltage that powers the motor is the result of an analog process which
maintains the speed constant, through the differential control between the reference value as an actual speed
value, picked up by the tachometer generator, and the one set by the potentiometer or external analog voltage.
The result obtained by the combination of this system with the Rowan three-phase motor is an extremely silent
and uniform constant torque and speed system, from zero to the maximum speed of the motor. The fact that
controlled diodes (already overdimensioned) were adopted for the power portion enhances reliability in the case
of overvoltages or overcurrents. Speed and rotation sense of the motor are determined respectively by the value
and polarity of the reference signal with a max. range of ±10VDC. Functioning extends to all 4 dials; the matching
motor is able to generate a driving torque and a braking torque in both rotation directions with a starting torque
up to 3 times the rated torque. The system code 280S + Rowan motor is therefore particularly suited for fast
movements (e.g. axes control) also when large inertial loads are driven, and without requiring any external
device such as the braking resistors typical of frequency controls for normal asynchronous motors and DC motor
drives.

Power terminal strip connection:

Even if it passes through speed control actuation, the connection remains as a normal motor, therefore if the
motor “nameplate” rating states:

with 220V line, with 380V line, with 380V line,

connection is delta connection is star connection is
type type delta type

from actuation terminals from actuation terminals from actuation terminals

U1-V1-W1 U1-V1-W1 U1-V1-W1

In case of replacement of the 6-wire connection board with the 3-wire type, Rowan motor connection
must be delta.

TACHOMETER DYNAMO CONNECTION

Service terminal strip

Signal for rev counter

- Perform connection with shielded cable.

- Dynamo generates direct current voltage of 20VDC at 2800 rpm of motor.
- The dynamo signal is directly proportional to motor speed, and can be used as a reference signal for the
analog/digital rev counters, interface boards, etc.
- The dynamo signal may be charged for a max. of 10mA.

If the dynamo signal does not arrive or is inverted, the motor revolves at max. speed without complying
with the rev control signal at terminal clamp 15. With positive speed reference at 15, the dynamo signal
at terminal clamp 21 is positive (same correspondence for negative speed signal).

 MOTOR SERVICE BOARD CONNECTION

1-2 TACHOMETER GENERATOR: from these terminals it is possible to

have the voltage of the tachometer generator that is spliced to the motor
shaft. It supplies a direct voltage of 20VDC at 2800RPM that is directly
proportional to motor speed; for this reason, besides being connected to
the drive for speed control, it can be used for analog revolution counters,
display counters or other servomechanisms, provided that the overall
loading does not exceed 3Kohm (max current 10 mA). It is always
necessary, to avoid interferences, to connect the tachometer
generator with screened cable, above all if cables are long and run
Ventilator
Thermic Probe close to power cabling.
Tachogenerator

3-4 VENTILATOR: it is necessary to supply these terminals with 220VAC for the separated ventilation of motor;
make sure that this voltage is present also when the motor is not running, in order to guarantee max cooling
efficiency. Some Rowan motors of great power are equipped with 3-phase centrifugal ventilators, which must
be supplied directly at the terminal strip of ventilator motor. As for the power absorbed by cooling fans, see table
on page 4.

5-6 THERMIC PROBE: it is a N.C. contact which opens when the temperature of motor windings exceeds
150°C, safety limit corresponding to H class (180°C). It is used as emergency for the switching off of run remote
control switch. The max capacity of this contact is 1A - 230VAC. (Rowan motor MEC 63 0,15 HP is not equipped
with Thermic Probe; for this reason terminals 5-6 are not present in its service terminal board).

BRAKE CONNECTION

On request, ROWAN motors can be provided

with electromagnetic brake. In this case the
motor must be constructed expressly with
lengthened motor shaft and the brake is
mounted on the front part, supported by a bell
which reproduces the normal flanging
conditions.
There are 2 different types of brakes:

- DIRECT BRAKE: in this case it is necessary to supply the brake to block the motor shaft. This kind of brake
is suitable for precision stops. Its efficiency can be increased by using ROWAN card cod. 210, which
oversupplies it at the stop improving its precision.

- SAFETY SPRING BRAKE: in this case it is necessary to remove supply from the brake to block the motor
shaft. It is used as safety brake in case of lack of main power supply, with suspended loads as overhead
travelling cranes, cranes etc.

Both brakes operate with direct voltage 24VDC, and are supplied through the single terminal or connector placed
on the front brake-bearing bell. It is always advisable to connect a diode or a R/C in parallel with the brake, above
all when near to equipments that are particularly sensitive to disturbances. As for the power absorbed by brakes
see table on page 4.

In case a transformer with secondary 24VDC is used, it is necessary to insert a levelling condenser C1
dimensioned for the power of the brake; when the condenser is not present, a transformer with
secondary 27 VAC must be used.

 DESCRIPTION OF LED INDICATORS

L1 RIGHT Rotation (Rotation sense of motor rotating field):

Illuminated with negative speed reference indicates that the motor is rotating right . Illuminated with
positive speed reference indicates that the motor in left rotation is developing a braking torque.
L2 LEFT Rotation (Rotation sense of motor rotating field):
Illuminated with positive speed reference indicates that the motor is rotating left. Illuminated with negative
speed reference indicates that the motor in right rotation is developing a braking torque.
L3 Zero relay intervention
intervention: illuminated indicates the energisation of the zero relay connected to terminal
clamps 3-5.
L4 Power onon: illuminated indicates power supply flowing through the board and driving circuits.
L5 Run consent
consent: illuminated indicates closure of contact on terminals 9-8 and therefore consent to motor
start. When off it indicates static zero-setting of board controls and voltage to the motor.
L6 Phase failure
failure: permanent illumination of this led during operation or after resuming voltage supply
subsequent to the intervention of an overload protection, indicates the failure of a phase on the power
supply line R1-S1-T1 (the three phases must be balanced and with a voltage value within ± 10% of the
one set with voltage changers). If the power supply is correct, inspect the on-board fuses F1-F2-F3.
- Pulsing illumination of led L6 during operation, indicates the presence of disturbances in the power line
or an excessive deformation of the power supply wave form, due to the insertion of deforming loads.
- Illumination of led L6 only has a diagnostic function and does not imply lock-up of the board.
L7 Slow speed activation
activation:
Illuminated indicates that the contact between terminal clamps 10-8 for consent to slow rotation is closed.
In this case the motor passes from the speed set by potentiometer or external signal ± 10VDC, to an
independent speed, preset with trimmer P1; speed change takes place with the ramps set by trimmers
P2-P3. Slow rotation direction is determined by polarity of the reference voltage present at terminal clamp
14 and available at terminal clamps 1-2.
L8 Run
Run:
Illuminated indicates the presence of voltage to the motor.
When off it indicates opening of run consent contact.

OFF SET ZERO GIRI = ZERO REV OFFSET

REG. GIRI MAX = MAX SPEED REG.

INTERNAL CALIBRATION OF MAXIMUM SPEED

This calibration is performed beforehand during testing for 2-pole and 4-pole motors, and is to be adjusted by
the installing technician only in the case of a 6-pole motor, double polarity motor, or if the board has been
miscalibrated; in case adjustment is needed, proceed as follows:
- Feed a +10VDC or -10VDC signal to terminal clamp 15.
- If the motor is a 2-pole one (S5 open) tune P4 for a max. speed of 2800 rpm (20VDC tachometer dynamo).
- If the motor is a 4-pole one (S5 closed) tune P5 for a max. speed of 1400 rpm (10VDC tachometer dynamo).
- If the motor is a 6-pole one (S5 closed) tune P5 for a max. speed of 800 rpm (5.7VDC tachometer dynamo).
- If the motor is a double polarity one (S5 open) tune P4 for a max. speed at 2-poles of 2600 rpm (18.5VDC
tachometer dynamo); for this usage it is necessary to connect a 10 Kohm 0,5W resistance in series to the
positive terminal of speed reg. 10Kohm potentiometer; the before mentioned resistance must be short-
circuited when the motor is connected for 2 pole operating.
- P4-P5 increase speed when turned clockwise.
Beware not to exceed maximum speed when calibrating, as this may cause current overabsorption in
the motor even when loadless, and at any rate would cause a delay in response time.

ZERO REV OFFSET CALIBRATION

- Feed zero volt to terminal clamp 15 or close stop in ramp.
- Tune P6 until the motor stops.

- A closed contact allows motor rotation in acceleration ramp until the set speed is
reached, and illuminates pilot lamp L5 run consent.
- An open contact statically removes voltage from the motor (if the motor is rotating
it will not brake), zero sets the ramps and excludes the other commands.
- Connect with shielded cables especially in case routes are long and/or running
close to power cabling.

Ramp stop command

- Carry out the connection with shielded cable.
- A closed contact causes motor deceleration from the set speed to zero revs, with
the ramp determined by trimmer P2.
- An open contact allows motor rotation until set speed, with the ramp determined by
trimmer P3.
- The ramp stop command can be performed only with a pure contact.

Exclusion of braking action

- Exclusion commands can be made also with NPN OPEN COLLECTOR transistor
(0.4mA 12VDC).
- Exclusion of the braking action is active by closed contact.
- Connect with shielded cables especially in case routes are long and/or running
close to power cabling.

RELAY DRIVING OUTPUTS

Zero relay
- Output for a relay with coil 24VDC 50mA max.
- The zero relay is excited when the motor exceeds the speed threshold set with
trimmer P10.
- The trimmer P10 (zero relay set point) sets zero relay intervention level in a speed
range of motor from 30 rpm to 1400 rpm.
- Relay energisation is indicated by LED L3 (zero relay intervention).
- The zero relay can be used for the automatic release of the run remote control switch
with stopped motor.
- When driving a Rowan motor with 2 polarities, the zero relay can be used for
automatic exchange of polarity.

 SUPPRESSION OF OSCILLATION PHENOMENA IN SPEED CONTROL

Some degree of oscillation may take place during motor rotation as a result of the type of load and mechanical
transmission adopted. This may happen in transmission systems having mechanical backlash between rotating
parts, or created with belts that are not sufficiently rigid. In code 280S board there are various ways to stabilise
these oscillations; in case of necessity you are recommended to proceed as below instructed:

- close microswitch S6. This will decrease rev control precision. Rev variation from loadless to loaded passes
from 2 rpm to 15 rpm; the command is less precise but also less critical. The speed of response to the load
variations remains unchanged (proportional regulation).
- Regulate trimmer P7 clockwise. This lengthens speed control response times. The motor reacts with delay
to load variations, whereas speed control precision remains unchanged (integral regulation).
- Regulate trimmer P15 clockwise and open microswitch S6. This will further delay motor response times to load
variations and also decreases speed control precision (integral/proportional regulation).
- Regulate trimmer P16 clockwise. This regulation is very effective in stabilising fast oscillations that arise when
the transmission between motor and load (especially inertial type) is driven by belts that are not rigid enough.
It does not penalise speed control precision, while it delays motor response times but with a passing band
different from the regulations of P7 - P15.
- Combine the effects of S6 - P7 - P15 - P16 in order to bring about speed control that it is as stable, fast and
precise as possible. Note: Trimmer P16 is not present in first series code 280S boards.

- If during motor rotation or with the motor stopped (zero speed reference), rotation LEDs RT/LT continue to
blink alternately, regulate trimmer P12 counter-clockwise in order to further widen the inert window between
pull and brake.

2) Consult the table on page 4 to choose the protection fuses.

3) Refer to motor rating to determine:
- type of connection star/delta (see page 5);
- motor overcurrent protection value (page 4);
- board set-up or max. speed calibration according to motor poles (page 9);
- connection of motor service terminal strip and power supply rating for fan and brake (page 4).
4) Choose the internal/external acceleration/deceleration ramp range (page 11).
5) If you use torque limitation consult page 12.
6) Choose the type of speed control (page 10).
7) Regulate the potentiometer or DC signal for zero speed (zero Volts reference voltage at terminal clamp I5).
8) Close ‘run consent’ between 8-9 (otherwise the board is not enabled).

Feed power supply to board

The motor must be stationary. Illumination of L4 power-on LED indicates the flow of voltage supply to driving
circuits; RUN, RUN CONSENT and LT or RT rotation LEDs must illuminate.

Turn the potentiometer or increase DC signal; the motor must follow the regulation in increase or in decrease
with the acceleration/deceleration ramps set.

If it does not follow the regulation but revolves at max. speed, it means that:
- with L3 illuminated, it is necessary to invert tachometer dynamo polarity (invert wires at terminal clamps 21
- 22).
- with L3 off, the tachometer dynamo signal does not reach terminal clamps 21 - 22, therefore inspect the
connections to the motor service terminal strip.

If instead the motor does not follow speed regulation and remains idle, check that:
- the regulation signal is present at terminal clamp 15;
- ramp stop contact is not closed;
- slow speed at zero revs is not activated;
- motor is not mechanically blocked;
- phase failure L6 LED is illuminated (see page 8).

If everything is in order make sure that max. speed is reached in both rotation directions by supplying a reference
voltage of -10V (RIGHT rotation) or +10V (LEFT rotation) to terminal clamp I5, if necessary fine adjusting the
maximum value with trimmers P4 (2 pole motors) or P5 (4-6 pole motors) (see page 9).

Be sure not to exceed the maximum regulation as this could cause motor overabsorption even when loadless,
and would in any case cause a delay in response times; referring to the tachometer dynamo voltage, at maximum
speed for every motor you will have:
20VDC at 2800 rpm for a 2-pole motor
10VDC at 1400 rpm for a 4-pole motor
5,7VDC at 800 rpm for a 6-pole motor

- If with zero speed reference the motor tends to rotate, regulate zero revs OFFSET with P6 (page 9).
- Motor rotation should correspond to the lighting of L8 LED Run which indicates that voltage is present in the
windings.
- Check that consumption is balanced in all three phases and that it does not exceed motor rating in continuous
operation.
- Check illumination of L3 LED (zero relay action) for the speed levels determined by trimmer P10 (min. 30 rpm
max. 1400 rpm).
- Take motor to maximum speed and close slow speed activation contact: led L7 should illuminate. The motor,
with deceleration ramp set by P2, must reach a slow speed that can be regulated with trimmer P1.
- Each time that the motor shaft is accelerated with respect to the speed set, due to the effect of an inertial load,
board code 280S automatically changes rotation direction of rotating field (RIGHT/LEFT rotation LED lighting
exchange); in this way a sufficient voltage for the development of a braking torque that can keep the speed
constant, is supplied to the motor. If you want to avoid motor braking consult page 14.
- If there are oscillations during motor rotation consult page 16.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE OF CODE 280S DRIVE

- Code 280S board is equipped with three 0.5A fuses (F1-F2-F3) for protection of the driving circuit. As for power
amperometric protection use external fuses against short circuits (see page 4) and a thermal switch,
calculated for a current in excess by 30% of the rated current.
- The board has been designed to work with line disturbances equivalent to Class 4 of the IEC standards 801.4.
In any case use shielded cables for all board control signals, and avoid the passage of these wires close to
power cables. Connect the cable braid to ground only at one side and not to the negative of the board (terminal
clamp 8 zero Volts), as shown in the example:
Shielded cable

- Use relays with suitable contacts for low currents in order to select potentiometers or DC signals; do not use
electromagnetic switch auxiliary contacts for this type of operation.
- Code 280S series boards work properly with temperatures between -15°C to +60°C inside their container and
the panel housing them; temperatures outside this range can causes malfunctions, speed control deviations,
and if temperatures are particularly high, may even cause breakdown; you are therefore recommended to
install the boards away from heat sources and ventilate the control panel if the temperature in the environment
is particularly high.
- Models code 280S/3/4/5 are equipped with fans to be fed separately with 220V, and a thermal probe. The
thermal probe is a contact (1A 230VAC) which opens when cooler temperature exceeds 80°C; it must be used
to cut out the power supply electromagnetic switch while leaving the fan on.

Note: the electronic regulations by phase partialising system generates harmonics (3th and 5th) which cause
phase shift on mains power supply; it will therefore be the user's care to evaluate its entity and eventually to
provide for by a fitting re-phasing proportional to the load.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF ROWAN MOTORS

Motors “ROWAN” are expressly manufactured to be driven by electronic cards with tachometer feedback and
are particularly suitable, because of their intrinsic characteristics, for functioning with repeated starts and
dynamic brakings.
As they have no brushes, they require little maintenance. The maintenance mainly concerns the bearings and
the replacement of the tachometer generator, which may anyway occur after at least 5000 hours’ work.

Replacement of bearings or tachometer generator

Whenever it is necessary to disassemble the motor for bearing replacement, proceed as follows:
1- remove the screws from the rear ventilator-protecting shield or from the cochlea ventilator. Remove the
ventilator after disconnecting its wires from the service terminal board;
2- remove the tachometer generator;
3- take out the rigid stays and remove the rear shield;
4- take out the front shield together with the rotor connected to it;
5- whenever it is necessary to remove the front bearing, take the screws of the anti-dust protection off and
remove the Seger ring (if present) on the shaft;
6- take out the shaft from the bearing;
7- remove the Seger ring (if present) which keeps the bearing close to the shield;
8- take the bearing off and replace it with one of the same kind - of the type Z C3 greased with high temperature
grease;
9- the rear bearing must be of the type 2RS C3.
If necessary, replace the tachometer generator while re-assembling the motor.

Air gap adjustment of spring- or direct brakes

Ifa spring brake is installed on the front part and it is necessary to adjust the air gap, proceed as follows:
1- remove the bolts that fasten the brake-bearing bell to the motor;
2- take out the bell and the brake from the shaft;
3- remove the screws that fasten the brake to the bell;
4- take out the brake wires from the terminal board;
5- take out the brake itself from the bell.
At this point it is possible to perform the regulation by adjusting the 3 bolts till you obtain an air gap between 0,2
and 0,3 mm.
If the brake is provided with an anti-dust ring, remove it to reach the 3 regulation bolts. The spring brake is usually
furnished set for max braking torque, which can be reduced by unscrewing the proper ring up to a maximum
of 40%; be careful not to unscrew it to much and cause it to go out of its seat.

In case a direct brake is installed, it is not necessary to disassemble it, but it is enough to control the air gap
(max 0,3 mm) with a thickness-meter through the side openings and, if necessary, to correct it by loosening the
fixing screw on the brake-bearing hub.

ROWAN motors need continuous ventilation and it is therefore necessary that all internal and external air
passages are free of obstructions and it is necessary to ensure sufficient air changing. In case they are used
in particularly severe conditions, ROWAN motors, normally IP 43 43, can be equipped with anti-dust filter up to a
protection degree IP 53; in this case it is necessary to check the filter cleanliness and the ventilation efficiency
more frequently.
It is possible to reach higher protection degrees up to IP 54 with particular protecting arrangements performed
by the customer during installation or up to IP 55 by supplying a completely closed motor diminished of 50% as
for the power.

The motor (except 0,15hp mec 63 motor) is provided with a thermic probe inserted in the windings that is
adjusted for intervention at 150°C (the windings of ROWAN motors are of H class with working limit temperature
of 180°C).
This thermic probe supplies a normally closed contact which opens at 150°C and must be used to remove the
power from the motor (by means of the remote control switch) in case of over-temperature. The probe max load
is 1A - 230 VAC.
In case of over-temperature intervention of the probe, it is necessary to verify the following:
- the functioning of the cooling fan;
- the correct passage of the air flow;
- the absorption of the motor; if it is beyond the rated values, it may be caused by an excessive loading or worn-
out bearings;
The statoric winding is of the kind used for asynchronous three-phase or single-phase motors; it is
manufactured with particular care with H class insulation
insulation; it can be made, in case of necessity, by any winding
builder, provided that he respects the winding data which can be supplied by our technical office.

ROWAN motors work properly with temperatures ranging from -15° to +60°; higher ambient temperatures
could provoke working anomalies and, if excessive, breakdowns. It is therefore necessary to locate
them far from heat sources and provide a minimum air changing.
