prevention regulations when performing such work.

NVE71954 04/2016 5
Intended Use
This product is a drive for three-phase synchronous and asynchronous motors and intended for industrial
use according to this manual.The product may only be used in compliance with all applicable safety
regulations and directives, the specified requirements and the technical data.Prior to using the product, you
must perform a risk assessment in view of the planned application. Based on the results, the appropriate
safety measures must be implemented.Since the product is used as a component in an entire system, you
must ensure the safety of persons by means of the design of this entire system (for example, machine
design). Any use other than the use explicitly permitted is prohibited and can result in hazards. Electrical
equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operation guarding. Lack of effective point-
of-operation guarding on a machine can result in serious injury to the operator of that machine.

WARNING
UNGUARDED EQUIPMENT
 Do not use this software and related automation equipment on equipment which does not have point-
of-operation protection.
 Do not reach into machinery during operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of industrial processes. The
type or model of automation equipment suitable for each application will vary depending on factors such
as the control function required, degree of protection required, production methods, unusual conditions,
government regulations, etc. In some applications, more than one processor may be required, as when
backup redundancy is needed.
Only you, the user, machine builder or system integrator can be aware of all the conditions and factors
present during setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine and, therefore, can determine the
automation equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be properly used. When selecting
automation and control equipment and related software for a particular application, you should refer to the
applicable local and national standards and regulations. The National Safety Council's Accident Prevention
Manual (nationally recognized in the United States of America) also provides much useful information.
In some applications, such as packaging machinery, additional operator protection such as point-of-
operation guarding must be provided. This is necessary if the operator's hands and other parts of the body
are free to enter the pinch points or other hazardous areas and serious injury can occur. Software products
alone cannot protect an operator from injury. For this reason the software cannot be substituted for or take
the place of point-of-operation protection.
Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-of-operation
protection have been installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All interlocks
and safeties related to point-of-operation protection must be coordinated with the related automation
equipment and software programming.
NOTE: Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for point-of-operation protection is
outside the scope of the Function Block Library, System User Guide, or other implementation referenced
in this documentation.

6 NVE71954 04/2016
START-UP AND TEST
Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation after installation, the system
should be given a start-up test by qualified personnel to verify correct operation of the equipment. It is
important that arrangements for such a check be made and that enough time is allowed to perform
complete and satisfactory testing.

WARNING
EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD
 Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed.
 Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means used for
shipment from all component devices.
 Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Follow all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment
documentation for future references.
Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments.
Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and temporary grounds that are not installed
according to local regulations (according to the National Electrical Code in the U.S.A, for instance). If high-
potential voltage testing is necessary, follow recommendations in equipment documentation to prevent
accidental equipment damage.
Before energizing equipment:
 Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
 Close the equipment enclosure door.
 Remove all temporary grounds from incoming power lines.
 Perform all start-up tests recommended by the manufacturer.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

The following precautions are from the NEMA Standards Publication ICS 7.1-1995 (English version
prevails):
 Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection and
ratings of components, there are hazards that can be encountered if such equipment is improperly
operated.
 It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce unsatisfactory or unsafe
operation. Always use the manufacturer’s instructions as a guide for functional adjustments. Personnel
who have access to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment manufacturer’s
instructions and the machinery used with the electrical equipment.
 Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator should be accessible to the
operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in operating
characteristics.

NVE71954 04/2016 7
Product Related Information

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
 The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and,
for critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure.
Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop, overtravel stop, power outage and restart.
 Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
 System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the
implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link.
 Observe all accident prevention regulations and local safety guidelines (1).
 Each implementation of the product must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation
before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Global Overview of Function Blocks and ATV Logic

Description
Programmable logic functions allow you to write your own application for the ATV320 variable speed drive.
Programmable logic functions interact with:
 The drive core control
 The I/O, the communication functions
 The HMI via M0xx (local or external graphic keypad)

It is based on an FBD instruction set: Boolean and transfer operations, arithmetic operations, timers,
counters, etc. ATV Logic is seen by the drive as a terminal.
The program in the edit window corresponds to:
 The compiled program
 The program transferred into the ATV320

To create an FBD program, insert various function blocks in the diagram, and link them together.
All types of function block can be placed on the sheet, except for inputs and outputs.
The ATV Logic tab of SoMove DTM consists of a workspace with 3 layers that can be selected via tabs
(PRE, POST, AUX)
 The diagram, where the functions that make up the program are inserted
 The Input pins on the left of the diagram where the inputs are positioned
 The Output pins on the right of the diagram where the outputs are positioned

Each area contains the FBD edit panel itself and configurable ports, symbolically represented on both
sides of the edit panel by terminal pins.

 In the AUX task: Connection to Slow and Fast access parameters

(1) Drive Background TASK < 1 ms (2) Drive Background TASK >1 ms
(3) 2 ms (4) t > period duration AUX = FBE fault error TOAU
The FB PRE and POST tasks are executed in the Drive Application Task which is itself executed every 2
ms. The Drive Application Task duration is less than 2 ms. This leaves between 500 µs and 1 ms to carry
out the Drive Application Task. However, the Drive Background Task may be interrupted each time the
Drive Application Task has to execute.
The Drive Background Task may be loaded and therefore executed several times between two Drive
Application Tasks. (See Drive Background TASK < 1 ms)
On the other hand, if the Drive Background Task is under a heavy load, it will be frequently interrupted by
the Drive Application Task. (See Drive Background Task > 1 ms)
Since the AUX task execution time can be interrupted by the Drive Application Task, it is not possible to
determine whether its duration is fixed or less than a predefined level.
However the Period duration parameter helps to ensure that the AUX task is refreshed sufficiently often for
the application.
NOTE: If Run and Stop commands are managed in the AUX task, their activation can be delayed due to
Pre and Post task priorities.

[Q] = (A / B) x INPUT + [C].

Inputs Description
 [IN]: 1 analog input. This is an integer between -32768 and 32767.
 [ENABLE]: 1 Boolean input. This is the gain function input command.
The state of this input determines the block operation: if the Enable Function input is inactive, the
Calculation output retains the last calculated value.

Outputs Description
 [Q]: 1 analog input. This is the output value of the gain function. This value depends upon the state of
the Enable function input.
 [OVERFLOW]: 1 Boolean output. If it is:
 Active: the Calculation output is equal to the result of the gain calculation formula.

 Inactive: the Calculation output is equal to zero.

NOTE: The function block output is not updated because if the function block output is set to 1 and the
Enable input switches to 0, the output will remain at 1.

Configuration

The TRIGGER function (Schmitt Trigger)

Description

The Schmitt Trigger function allows an analog value to be monitored relative to two thresholds.
The output changes state if:
 The [IN] value is less than the minimum value
 The [IN] value is greater than the maximum value

If the [IN] input is between the two, the [Q] output does not change state.
Two setpoints - On to Off and Off to On - can be set as the minimum or maximum value. This involves
reverse operation of the function.These two operations are shown in the diagrams.
If the [ENABLE] input is inactive, the [Q] output remains inactive. The [Q] output does not change state if
the [ENABLE] input changes from Active to Inactive.

Inputs/Outputs
 [IN]: 1 analog setpoint input
 [ENABLE]: 1 Boolean input
 [Q]: 1 Boolean output
NOTE: The function block output is not updated because if it is set to 1 and the Enable input changes
to 0, the output will remain at 1.

The COUNT Up/Down Counter Function

Description

The Up/Down Counter function is used to up/down count from a preset value resulting from a
calculation outside the function.

Inputs Description
 [UP]: 1 Boolean upcounter input
 [DOWN]: 1 Boolean downcounter input
 [RESET]: 1 Boolean input
 [LOAD]: 1 Boolean input
 [PV]: 1 analog Preset value input
 [ENABLE]: 1 input
Activation of the [LOAD] input to 1 is used to change the counter with the value available at the [PV] input.
The [PV] input can be connected to a NUM constant, to an analog input, or to any other kind of function
block output that delivers an analog type value.
A rising edge on the:
 Upcounter input: Increments the counter
 Downcounter input: Decrements the counter

Inputs Description
 [Q]: 1 Boolean output
 [CURRENT]: The current counter value
NOTE: The function block output is not updated because if it is set to 1 and the Enable input changes to
0, the output will remain at 1.

Available Functions
Several functions are available:
 Upcounting and forcing the counter to 0 on initialization
 Upcounting and forcing the counter to 0 on initialization and when the count value is reached
 Downcounting and forcing the counter to the preset value on initialization
 Downcounting and forcing the counter to the preset value on initialization and when 0 is reached

State of the Output

A1: When the count value is reached, the [Q] output changes to 1 and remains at 1 for as long as the count
value is greater than or equal to the [PV] Preset value.
At 0: If the transitions on the downcounter input change the count value back to a value less than the Preset
value
Activation of the [Reset] or [LOAD] inputs resets the counter.
When the [Reset] input is set to 1, the [Q] output remains at state 0. When the [Reset] input changes to 0,
the up/down counting operation is restarted from zero.

Description
ADL Containers are linked to 6 function blocks
 Read Ana Param
 Read Reg Param
 Write Ana Param
 Write Reg Param
 ReadBitParam
 WriteBitParam

The drive has 8 ADL containers (LA01 to LA08).

These LA0x contain the address of the target parameters.
This configuration is used during graphic editing of the program in Function Blocks.
There are 8 ADL containers used to connect %MW, %SW, or other drive parameters (see programming
