5.5 AM-MODBUS-W Wireless Communication

The type A-G-247NW hand-held terminal can communicate wireless with the type AM-MODBUS-W
communications module ( Operating Instuctions A-G-247NW: AM-MODBUS App's / Conﬁguration
Online / Wireless).
In a hard-wired system, wireless communication is primarily designed in order to have a second
interface for communicating with the device (e.g., for conﬁguration and diagnostics).
Wireless communication is also used by the MODBUS protocol, so it is necessary to assign an
address. Wireless and hard-wired communications use the same address. The address can be
hard-wire assigned via an RS-485.

For pure, wireless communication, it is recommended to assign the address manually.

" Switch on the device you want to re-address and establish a connection with address 247.
" In “IO Setup”, change the address and then switch this device off again.
" Apply the same procedure to the next device.
Radio control key (0 - 9999)
Different from RS-485 communication, wireless communication also has a radio control key (0 -
9999). This radio control key is used to encode the messages and ensures that several networks can
be operated in mutually overlapping radio ranges.
For that reason, every wireless MODBUS network should have its own radio control key if there is
another wireless MODBUS network in the vicinity.
The factory setting is |9999 | .
A radio control key with the value |0 | switches off encoding.
The device must be switched off to save the new radio control key.
The radio control key must be assigned in the same manner as the assignment of the MODBUS
address.
Radio key (Network key) Menu group “Controller Setup”.

Technical data for wireless Communication:

Radio communication IEEE 802.15.4

standard:
Frequency: 2.4 GHz (not licensed wireless band, like WLAN, Bluethooth)
16 wireless channels, default wierless channel 0
Communications range: Short-distance radio, within buildings max. 8 m typically 3 - 5m, free ﬁeld to 25 m,
generally strongly dependent on interferences
Type of communication: Bi-directional, half-duplex

IO Setup

Information
The following factory settings speciﬁcations are not binding, these values can differ depending on the
software version and customer-speciﬁc pre-setting.

7.6.1 Digital inputs “D1”(“E1” *)

Different functions can be assigned to the digital inputs “D1” and “E1”*.
Activation via ﬂoating contacts (a low voltage of approx. 24 V DC is connected).
“D1” is programmed for the “Enable” function at the factory.
D1 Function

For inverting switch to “ON”.

The input inversion is set at the factory to “OFF” (when a function is programming).
D1 Inverting

* If the analogue input “E1” is not required for specifying the fan speed, this can be used as a digital input ( E1 function).
The same functions can be assigned for “E1” as for “D1”.

Attention!
Never apply line voltage to the digital input!

Function Description
OFF no function
1D Enable ON / OFF (factory setting)
Remote ON/OFF (electronic switch-off) by potential-free contact. The power unit is
switched off electronically, the device can still be operated in the switched-off state
after pressing the “Esc” key combination. Signal inputs and outputs remain active.
A programmed alarm relay (factory set “K1 function” = |2K | ) does not report the
switch-off.
Attention!
No disconnection (no potential isolation in accordance with VBG4 §6) in remote control
of the device!
3D Limit ON / OFF
Controller Setup / Limit
5D Set Intern2
Fixed speed “Default Internal2” active. Function with selected “Control mode”: 0 (
“Controller Setup”).
With simultaneous activation of “Default Internal3” with function |6D | , |5D | has prior-
ity).
6D Set Intern3
Constant speed “Set Intern3”, also with selected “Control mode”: 0 ( “Controller
Setup”).
13D Switch over direction of rotation
Switch over between direction of rotation “RIGHT” = |CW | and direction of rotation
“LEFT” |CCW | .
When“switching”over via a digital input, the device works with the opposite direction of
rotation than the one set in Motor Setup.
If the rotary direction is reversed with an available modulation, it is initially reduced to
“0” (disconnected) and subsequently increased back to the default value.

15D Smoke extraction: Switch off temperature management, operation at max. speed
To make the ECblue as durable as possible, the devices have active temperature
management. The modulation is reduced when internal temperature limits are ex-
ceeded.
In venting systems in which the fan must run at max. speed in the event of a ﬁre, the
temperature management can be switched off by a digital input. At the same time, the
fan is operated independently of the speed default for regular operation at maximum
speed.
The function is activated at the digital input with the contact open (at factory setting
|D1/E1 Inverting | = OFF) so that the maximum speed of the fan is also possible with
the line to the digital input interrupted in case of ﬁre.

Attention!
The device and its internal components are no longer protected against overtemper-
ature when this function is activated (this affects the life installation instructions ECbl-
ue).

7.6.2 Relay outputs “K1”

Various functions can be allocated to the relay outputs “K1”.

This is preset at the factory for fault indication.
K1 Function

For switching inversion to “ON” (switching behaviour dependent on assigned function).

The relays can only pull up basically when the voltage supply of the electronics is
working. Three-phase current devices must have at least 2 line phases!
K1 Inverting
The relay inversion “K1” is set at the factory to “OFF” (when a function is program-
ming).

Function Description
OFF no function
Relays remain always de-energized .
1K Operating indication
Operation without fault, reports enable “OFF”.
2K Fault indication (factory setting)
Pulled up in operation without fault, with release “OFF” not dropped out.
Drops out at: line fault, motor fault, etc. Events / Fault indications
4K Limit
Alarm when the speed exceeds the value set under “Default Internal3” ( menu group
“Setting”) (output power > 0 %).
The function is active in every Controlmode ( menu group: “Controller Setup”).
17K no function
20K Fault indication or message for active temperature management
In addition to the fault indication, a message will appear in the case of active temper-
ature management, i.e. if the speciﬁed temperature limits are exceeded resulting in a
reduction in modulation (function from software version 13.31 and upwards).

An adaptation can be made if the motor rated-voltage as the applied mains voltage is
lower (e.g. 3 ~ 230 V motor on 3 ~ 400 V mains).
Verify the output voltage using suitable measuring instruments.
Setting range: 0...500 V
Factory setting: 400 V

9.7.3 Adjustment of the U/f curve

Information
The device comes supplied with a preprogrammed square characteristic curve for the oper-
ation of fans.
In the case of voltage-controllable motors and square load torque-moments (e.g. fans and
pump operation), an optimal speed control is generally achieved through this.
In systems in which high dynamics are required, switchover to a linear characteristic must
take place. Generally speaking, if the load characteristic is not known as a deﬁnite value, the
linear characteristic should be set. In the case of linear characteristic curves, the motor
achieves full torque throughout the entire speed range. For this, a thermal overload of the
motor must be prevented through suitable measures (complete motor protection through
using thermocontact or PTC thermistor-monitoring).

Uout Output voltage

Due to technical reasons the output voltage amounts to approx. max. 95 % of the applied mains
voltage.
In order to still be able to achieve the maximum airflow of the connected fans, an increase of the
maximum frequency is possible for our motors. For this, a current increase must be included in the
calculation. It is necessary to optimize monitoring of motor current, output voltage, and speed using
suitable measuring instruments.
The factory set values are for voltage controllable external rotor motors with 400 V / 50 Hz.
After verification of the motor specifications, adjustments are to be adapted, if applicable.

Attention!
It is essential to check the direction of rotation of the fan during the initial commissioning. To

any circumstances for warrantee for damage caused because the direction of rotation is
wrong!
When connected in accordance with the connection diagram, the standard rotary direction “RIGHT” =
|CW | results under factory settings. A change of direction is feasible by exchanging the phase
sequence in the motor connection or through reprogramming.

Pressing the P key causes the value that has been set to be

If the rotary direction is reversed with an available modulation, it is initially reduced to “0” (discon-
nected) and subsequently increased back to the default value.

9.7.6 Setting Current limit

As an additional safety function the device has a current limit, this can be adapted if
necessary.
The setting refers to the motor rated current of the device (100 % = setting: MotorRa-
Current limit
tedCurr.).
On exceeding the percentage value set here, the modulation is reduced until the set
current is set again. This prevents overloading of the motor.

Factory setting: 120 %

9.7.7 Setting brake function

DC brake mode
Setting function of DC-brake for frequency inverters.
For units that come with a factory engaged DC brake mode (if extant, DC brake
DC brake mode
mode setting), simultaneously activating the “DC brake mode ” only makes sense in
exceptional cases.

0 = no brake function (factory setting).

1 = brakes before start (before modulation is returnd)
If, under certain circumstances, the modulation switches back on while the motor is still
rotating fast, this can result in a re-supply of the inverter’s “overcurrent disconnection”.
The brake function can be activated to prevent this. This is then always active for an
adjustable period before triggering starts. I.e., the brake function is always initiated
before modulation after has it returned to “0”. The suitable adjustments depend on the
centrifugal force of the motor and the conditions in the installation.
2 = Special function, brakes before stop (as soon as modulation “0”).
The motor does not run out up to stop. The motor is braked actively, as soon as no
modulation is present (Setpoint = “0” or Enable = “OFF”) .

Test required. The “min. speed” adjustment must be set to “0”.

DC brake level
Direct-current level, generated for braking. The higher this value, the greater the
braking effect.
DC brake level
The setting “DC brake level” refers in % to the value set in “MotorRated Curr.”.

Setting range: 25, 50, 75, 100 %

Factory setting: 25 %

The setting is dependent on the size of the fan/motor. Attention! Too high values can
lead to a considerable braking effect.
Same“setting”affects also the function Motorheating.

9.7.8 Motorheating
In order to avoid a sticking or a freezing of standing fans in cold environment, the “motor heating
system” can be switched on.

The motor heating function corresponds to the braking function in which a direct current
puts the motor into standstill. The height of the “brake level” is set in “Motor Setup”.
A current is impressed here, which does not permit any rotation of the fans. The value
Motorheating
required to prevent any freezing depends on the ambient conditions and the connected
motor’s technical data.
The setting effected is to be checked under real conditions. The higher the setting, the
greater the heating output generated in the motor (heat dissipation). The motor heating
or stationary heating can only become active, where there is no given modulation as a
result of regulation.
To prevent any overheating, motor protection in the form of thermal protection installed
in the motor is required ( motor protection). The heating function is switched off
when the motor protection function of the regulating unit responds.
OFF = motor heating switched off (at the factory)
ON = The motor heating becomes active automatically when there is no device
modulation.

with the manufacturer!

Attention!
Settings for U/f characteristic may only be made when no motor modulation is present!

10.7.1 Setting motor rated current

MotorRatedCurr.
When commissioning, you must set the motor to the rated current stated on the
rating plate.

In the case of linear characteristic curves, the motor achieves full torque
throughout the entire speed range. For fans operation a optimal speed control is
generally achieved through this.
Switching over to square characteristic curve (only permisible in fans and pumps with
square torque moment) might make sense in order to reduce the electromagnetic
motor noises. “UF square”= “ON”

10.7.4 Setting for Rampup time and Rampdown time

Setting range: 6 (only FSDM32 - 62) / 8.0 / 10.0 / 16.0 kHz

Setting range: FSDM2.6 - 25 = 8.0 kHz / FSDM32 - 62: = 6.0 kHz

Information
• This ﬁxed switching frequency setting is only effective if the automatic switching frequency
changeover is not activated (see “Auto. Switchfreq”).
• Increasing of clock frequency only possible by reducing maximal load. ( Maximum load
depending on clock frequency and ambient temperature).

10.7.6 Setting Rolling direct.

Pressing the P key causes the value that has been set to be
accepted.

If the rotary direction is reversed with an available modulation, it is initially reduced to “0” (discon-
nected) and subsequently increased back to the default value.

0 = no brake function (factory setting).

Test required. The “min. speed” adjustment must be set to “0”.

Attention! With the frequently one behind the other following DC bracings it can come
to strong heating up of the motor.
To prevent any overheating, motor protection in the form of a temperature limiter
installed in the motor is required ( motor protection).
DC brake time
Maximal length of DC-brake for frequency inverters.
If the braking is activated, the d.c. brake torque is active for this time.
DC brake time
Setting range: 0...250 sec.
factory setting: 5 / 10 sec. (depending on device type)
DC brake level
Direct-current level, generated for braking. The higher this value, the greater the
braking effect.
DC brake level
The setting “DC brake level” refers in % to the value set in “MotorRated Curr.”.

Setting range: 25, 50, 75, 100 %

Factory setting: 25 %

The setting is dependent on the size of the fan/motor. Attention! Too high values can
lead to a considerable braking effect.

10.7.9 Setting Quench mode

If, under certain circumstances, the modulation switches back on while the motor is still rotating fast,
this can result in a re-supply of the inverter’s “overcurrent disconnection”.
The quench modus is available to prevent this from happening (“quench” = synchronizing the rotating
magnetic field generated by the frequency inverter with the momentary speed of the triggered motor).
If this function is activated, the frequency inverter’s rotating magnetic-field speed is synchronized with
the motor’s field at the start of every triggering (nominal value and modulation must have been „0“
beforehand). Switchover into “normal mode” is automatic after the synchronization is completed.

Attention!
Due to the transient motor triggering with maximum frequency at reduced output voltage necessary for
the quench mode, short-term start-up can occur in a stationary motor with low centrifugal force.

The quench function can be combined with motor braking (DC brake mode). However, running both
functions successively increases the time span until the motor is reaccelerated. For normal use, it is
recommended to use only the quench mode.

Selection of function for Quench mode

ON = Ouench mode ON (factory setting)
OFF = Ouench mode OFF

10.7.10 Setting Overmodulation

In the as-delivered state the maximum output voltage for operation without overmodulation is approx.
95 % of the applied mains voltage.
In operation with overmodulation the maximum output voltage can reach about the level of the applied
mains voltage. Since resonance vibrations can occur in operation with overmodulation, the appropri-
ate instructions in the motor or fan documentation must be observed!

OFF = Overmodulation switched off (factory setting)

ON = Overmodulation switched on
Overmodulation

Attention!
• In operation with overmodulation, you must make sure that resonance vibrations cannot
increase. Speed ranges (frequencies) can be faded out in the following settings.
• The notes on mechanical vibrations and operation with overmodulation in the assembly and
operating manual of the drive must be observed!

Under certain circumstances, it is possible to prevent disturbing noises that can arise at certain
speeds due to resonances.
