 Safety information 2
2.1 The five safety rules
For your personal safety and in order to prevent material damage it is essential that you adhere
to all the safety notices contained in your product documentation. Pay particular attention to
the safety notices on the product itself. When working on the equipment, always observe the
following five safety rules as defined by EN 50110‑1 "Working in a voltage-free state". Apply
the five safety rules in the sequence stated before starting work.

Five safety rules

1. Disconnect the system.
Disconnect the auxiliary circuits, for example anti-condensation heating.
Wait until the capacitors have discharged.
2. Lockout to protect against reconnection.
3. Make sure that the equipment is de-energized and in a no-voltage condition.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Cover or enclose adjacent components that are still live.
When you have finished working on the equipment, apply the measures in reverse order.

DANGER
High voltages
Potentially fatal voltages occur when this equipment is in operation which can remain present
even after the inverter is switched off.
High voltages cause death, serious injury or material damage if the safety instructions are
not observed or if the equipment is handled improperly.
● Ensure that only qualified and authorized personnel perform work on the inverter.
● Always observe the five safety rules specified above whenever you are carrying out any
work on the device.

2.3 Areas that are potentially and particularly hazardous

2.2 Use of tested, certified and Siemens-approved components

Observe the following instructions if you would like to integrate your own components in the
system.

WARNING
Components which are not approved
It is dangerous to use components which are not tested, not certified and not approved by
Siemens. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Use only components which are tested, certified and approved by Siemens.

2.3 Areas that are potentially and particularly hazardous

Certain areas in the inverter can represent a hazard during operation. The diagram highlights
these areas that represent a potential hazard.
Observe the following safety notices and comply with all rules and instructions.

 Safety information
2.3 Areas that are potentially and particularly hazardous

① Stopping the inverter via the display or by means of external control devices does not disconnect
the inverter from the line voltage.
② When you press the Emergency Off button, this does not mean that the inverter is voltage-free
immediately.
③ Danger due to hazardous voltages when the cabinet doors are open.
④ These voltages can remain due to self-excitation if the connection to the motor is not removed.
Some surfaces in the inverter are hot during operation and for some time afterwards. Fans in
the inverter can continue to rotate after the unit has been switched off.
⑤ Hazardous voltages can persist in the DC link (with current-source DC link inverters: in the
commutation capacitors) or from external or auxiliary power sources after the inverter has been
disconnected from the line voltage.
Depending on parameter settings and connection of external control devices, the inverter can
start up automatically when the line voltage is connected.

 Safety information
2.4 Notes for operator protection

WARNING
Live components
During operation and shortly after the system has been switched off with the Emergency Off
button, high voltages are still present in the inverter and its components. These voltages may
remain if the connection to the motor is not removed or grounded. This danger exists with
permanent-magnet synchronous motors and synchronous motors which are not de-excited
immediately. These voltages may remain if the connection to the motor is not removed or
grounded. High voltages cause death or serious injury if the safety instructions are not
observed or if the equipment is handled improperly.
Never open the covers or doors when the system is in operation or while the DC link capacitors
are still discharging (in the case of current-source DC link inverters: commutation capacitors).
The DC link capacitors (commutation capacitors) can take up to 10 minutes to discharge (or
5 minutes with compact devices) after the Emergency Off button is actuated.

WARNING
Automatic startup
Depending on parameter settings and connection of external control devices, the inverter can
start up automatically when the line voltage is connected. This can result in death, serious
injury or material damage.
Confirm whether or not your system is capable of automatic starting and, if appropriate, take
measures to ensure personal safety and operational readiness at the driven machine.

2.4 Notes for operator protection

Read the following information about personal protection.
The unit meets the safety requirements as defined by IEC EN 61800‑5‑1 and UL 508 C.

2.4 Notes for operator protection

Safety-relevant information for working on the inverter

DANGER
Live, moving or rotating parts
Inverters have live, moving or rotating parts.
Death or serious injury can result if any essential covers are removed without authorization
or in the case of improper use or incorrect installation or operation.
Always take all the necessary precautions before working on the device.

DANGER
High voltages
High voltages cause death or serious injury if the safety instructions are not observed or if
the equipment is handled improperly.
Voltages of more than 50 V are present when this unit is operational. These voltages may
remain for some time after switching off or as long as the motor is turning over.
Make sure that work is only carried out by qualified personnel under due observance of the
five safety rules, the information in these operating instructions, and the instructions on the
product itself.

DANGER
Auxiliary and external supply systems
Hazardous voltages (e.g. control voltage, signal voltage, supply voltage for heaters and fans)
can persist even after the inverter has been switched off. Contact with live parts can result in
death or serious injury.
Make sure that work is only carried out by qualified personnel under due observance of the
five safety rules, the information in these operating instructions, and the instructions on the
product itself.

DANGER
Electric shock
If you carry out servicing work on the inverter without safely disconnecting the power supply,
serious injury or death due to electric shock can occur. The PTC input is not an Emergency
Off input which safely disconnects the inverter or the motor from the line supply.
Safely and reliably disconnect the power supply before opening covers or terminal boxes at
the inverter. For example, use a main switch.

2.4 Notes for operator protection

DANGER
High voltages
Electrical accidents including electric shock occur when general safety instructions for
working on the device are not observed. Death, serious injury or material damage will result.
Please note the following information for your safety:
● Always observe the five safety rules whenever you are carrying out any work on the device.
● Always disconnect the equipment before working on it.
● Leave the covers in place during normal operation and keep the cabinet doors closed.
● Do not use any instrumentation if you know it is defective or damaged.
● Secure the main circuit breaker in the OFF position so that it cannot be reconnected, for
example by removing the switch unit when working on a connected motor or the feeder
cable to the motor.
● Ground the inverter cabinet and chassis units properly to ensure that no accessible parts
of the equipment are energized or connected in any way to a dangerous voltage source.
● Use an earthing spider for grounding purposes. Read the information provided in the
section "Safety instructions regarding maintenance and repairs" in "Maintenance and
servicing" in your operating instructions.
● Wear personnel protective gear such as goggles, ear protection and helmet to protect
yourself against injury.
● Always follow the national regulations and local specifications when working on the
equipment.

DANGER
DC link capacitor discharge time
After the mains power has been switched off, high voltages still persist in the DC link
capacitors.
These cause death or serious injury if the safety instructions are not observed or if the
equipment is handled incorrectly.
The DC link capacitors require up to 10 minutes (5 minutes for compact units) before they
are discharged to a safe value (< 60 V).
After you have switched off the main power supply, do not touch the device or carry out any
maintenance work or repair work until the discharge time of 10 minutes (5 minutes for compact
devices) have elapsed.

General information about electronic shutdown

Using the electronic shutdown concept of the inverter, a system without main contactor can
be shut down. This also applies for the operation of motors in the Ex-Zone 1. In the case of a
fault, the inverter interrupts the power supply to the motor electronically.

Motor temperature monitoring shutdown concept

Principle of operation
The peripheral board 2 / 4 evaluates the measure motor temperature using a PTC thermistor.
The board ensures safety and reliability using the installed short-circuit detection. The "Safe
halt" function of the peripheral board 2 / 4 and the "Safe halt" function use the same shutdown
routing:

Figure 3-1 Electronic shutdown concept

The controller of the inverter processes the signal of the peripheral board. In the case of a
motor temperature too high or the "Safe halt" function, the inverter blocks the ignition signals
of the IGBTs. The power supply of the driver stages is also disconnected. Both these shutdown
routes ensure that the power supply for the motor is interrupted immediately. Further heating
or rotation of the motor is ruled out. The inverter cannot be reset or switched on again until the
motor has cooled down sufficiently.

 Description
3.3 Accessories

If the power fails, the inverter safely interrupts the power supply to the motor as no more ignition
signals are transmitted. If there was a fault present at the time of the power failure, the inverter
also remains in an error state when the power is restored.

Risk comparison
In order to rule out possible risks in advance, a risk analysis according to EN 1050 or
DIN EN ISO 14121 (draft standard) has been performed for the shutdown path. This analysis
concluded that the risk of loss of the shutdown function is small due to the redundant design
of the shutdown route and the use of reliable components. However, no general risk
assessment was performed as this is usually dependent on many customer-specific
parameters. This must be taken into account for the implementation and operation of a system.
In comparison to the shutdown using contactors, only the additional hazard die to dangerous
shock currents occurred in the converter.
Due to the redundant design, it is even achieved that the shutdown is still ensured even if a
fault in the electronic shutdown route occurs. As components proven in operation are also
used, the converter is in compliance with EN ISO 13849‑1:2008, Category two.

WARNING
Danger of explosion in the case of deactivated shutdown
In principle, the shutdown function can be deactivated by connecting an appropriate resistor
instead of the PTC thermistor to the control cable terminals.

3.3.2.3 "Safe halt"

The control cable terminals ‑X2:19, ‑X2:20 provide a safety-oriented input for safe torque off
to EN ISO 13849‑1:2008 category three. This input safely prevents starting the machine. Use
this input, for example for safe shutdown in the case of servicing work on the machine. When
using the input, remove the jumper inserted between the control cable terminals ‑X2:19, ‑X2:20.
The "Safe halt" function and the ATEX-certified PTC thermistor input have a redundant switch-
off path in the converter. The implementation is performed using hardware. A relay in the power
section of the converter disconnects the power supply of the IGBT drivers. A second circuit,
also via hardware, produces a controller block. Both switch-off paths are based on the closed-
circuit principle, i.e. a failure of the control voltage results in redundant shutdown of the
converter.

WARNING
Electric shock
If you carry out maintenance or overhaul work on the converter without safely disconnecting
the power supply, serious injury or death due to electric shock can occur. The input for "Safe
halt" is not an Emergency Off input which safely disconnects the converter or the motor from
the mains power supply.
Safely and reliably disconnect the power supply before opening covers or terminal boxes at
the converter. For example, use a main switch.

Checking the "Safe halt" function

Procedure
Test the shutdown function for the operation of the "Safe halt" function. Proceed as follows:
1. Apply voltage to the converter until the "READY" LED lights.
2. Open the jumper inserted between the control cable terminals ‑X2:19 and ‑X2:20. The
converter then switches to "FAULT":
– The "READY" LED goes out.
– The red "FAULT" LED lights.
– The converter display shows the message "Safe halt active".
3. From this time, the converter cannot be switched on by pressing the <On> button on the
display.
4. Acknowledge the error, e.g. using the <S+I> buttons on the display. The converter checks
both the redundant shutdown routes.
– If the converter returns to "READY" after the acknowledgement and does not display
any errors, the test has been completed successfully.
– If the converter remains on "FAULT" and "!!FAULT!! Test Safe halt" is on the display,
one of the shutdown routes is not functioning correctly. In this case, you must contact
the factory.
5. The converter checks the safety function automatically when the control voltage of the
converter returns or when the error is acknowledged after a test.

"Safe halt" in the DC link version

The "Safe halt" input is redundant in design from the control cable terminal. You can use a
switching element with one circuit or with two circuits. In the case of two circuits, connect the
second contact of the switching device to control cable terminals ‑X2:3 and ‑X2:24. Provide
conversion of the inverter. This can only be performed by the service personnel of the
manufacturer. Contact the factory for this.
If you only actuate one circuit in this configuration, "!!FAULT!! Actuation Safe halt" is shown
on the display.

NOTICE
Malfunctions
If the inverter is used in safety-relevant applications with visible transport damage,
malfunctions and damage to property can occur. Do not use inverters with visible transport
damage.

● Only replace a peripheral board 2 / 4 with safety-oriented inputs with original parts. Only
replace parts in consultation with the factory.
● Use the "Safe halt" function of the inverter for asynchronous and synchronous motors. If
two errors also occur in the power section, this can result in residual rotation for
synchronous motors. The residual rotation angle can be maximum 180°. Calculate the
residual rotation angle from 360° / number of poles n. Take account of the residual rotation
for your design. This does not apply for asynchronous motors.

3.3.2.4 PTC inputs for motor PTC thermistor

The peripheral boards 2 / 4 provide two PTC thermistor inputs at the control cable terminals
‑X3:90‑93 for the motor temperature monitoring. When using the inputs, remove the 100 Ω
resistor connected there.
The peripheral board 3 has control cable terminals for the PTC inputs. However, there is no
evaluation board. No monitoring is made if you connect PTC thermistors.
Test the PTC thermistors as described below. Consult the factory if the shutdown does not
function.
Inverters without a peripheral board provide PTC thermistor inputs at control cable terminals
‑X2:27‑28. If the peripheral board 2 or 4 is fitted, connect the PTC thermistors of the motor to
control cable terminal ‑X3. This has the following advantages:
● Sensor short-circuit monitoring
● Protective separation of the PTC thermistor inputs from all other inputs up to a rated voltage
of 690 V. The control cable terminals ‑X2:27/28 provides protective separation from the
electronics, but no separation from the other inputs.
● Input ‑X3:90‑91 is ATEX-certified according to PTB 07 ATEX 3057 for motors located in
hazardous zones.
● Redundant shutdown route, realized using hardware.

Checking the PTC thermistor shutdown function

Procedure
Test the shutdown function before commissioning the board. Proceed as follows:
1. Replace the 100 Ω resistor at control cable terminals ‑X3:90/91 with a potentiometer with
at least 10 kΩ. Set a value of approx. 100 Ω.
2. Ensure that 24 V is applied at control cable terminal ‑X2:8. When required, jumper ‑X2:8
and ‑X2:3.
3. Apply voltage to the converter so that the "READY" LED on the display lights.

4. Increase the resistance at the potentiometer. The converter must go to "FAULT" at the
latest for 3,8 kΩ:
– The "READY" LED goes out.
– The red "FAULT" LED lights.
– The converter display shows the fault message "!!FAULT!! PTC thermistor X3:90/91-
X3:90/91".
5. From this time, the converter cannot be switched on by pressing the <On> button on the
display.
6. Acknowledge the error, e.g. using the <S+I> buttons on the display. The converter checks
both the redundant shutdown routes for the acknowledgement.
– If the converter returns to "READY" after the acknowledgement and does not display
any errors, the test has been completed successfully.
– If the converter remains on "FAULT" and "!!FAULT!! Test PTC -X3:90/91" is shown on
the display, one of the shutdown paths did not function correctly. In this case, please
contact the factory.
7. If the converter is ready again, then rotate the potentiometer towards 0 Ω. At the latest at
a resistance of 15 Ω the short-circuit monitoring of the sensor circuit responds. Follow the
description under points four and five.
8. The safety function is checked automatically when the control voltage of the converter
returns and when the error is acknowledged after a test.

3.3.3 Brake transistor and brake resistor

During motor operation the electrical power flow is from the inverter to the motor. During
generator operation the electrical power flow is from the motor to the inverter.
Example: braking flywheels.
The DC link current reverses the direction. The standard version of the inverter cannot feed
energy back into the system. Kinetic energy can be converted into dissipated heat in braking
operation. Approx. 10% braking torque is available in the upper speed range. A braking torque
of up to 50% without additional equipment is achieved in the medium and lower speed ranges
by oversaturation of the motor. With the brake transistor accessory, the same braking as driving
torque is available. The energy occurring is converted to heat using a pulsed transistor. Also
connect an external brake resistor.

WARNING
Risk of fire
If the clearance between the resistors and the neighboring components is selected too small,
fire can occur due to overheating. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 200 mm.

3.3.3.1 Dimensioning the brake resistor

Select a resistance value of at least that stated in the technical data. This value corresponds
to the minimum configurable value. The maximum value is calculated from the following
equation:
R = (1.57 × Umains)² / Pbrake

3.3.3.2 Connecting the brake resistor

1. Using the device designation on the rating plate of the device, check whether you have a
device with the "brake resistor" option. The designation must be ...2T..‑.....‑...B....
For more detailed information, refer to section "Type designations" (Page 29).
2. Connect the external braking resistor at terminals ‑X1:R and ‑X1:UD2+.
3. Set the parameter "P-INVERTER DATA/Brake" to "On".
4. Set the rated output of the resistor under "/P-BrakeRes." and the resistance value under "/
R-BrakeRes.". In this way, you prevent overloading of the resistor.

CAUTION
Incorrect parameter settings
If you parameterize the resistance data incorrectly, you can destroy the brake transistor
or the brake resistor which can result in injury to personnel.
Input the correct data in the inverter.

Install the resistors so that the perforated plate is on the bottom, top and the front sides. The
connection box can be provided on the left or the right side.
If you require several resistors for series or parallel connection, install the resistors next to
each other. This also applies for wall mounting.

3.3.4 Parameter overview

A more detailed overview of all parameters can be found in the "IMS" software or in the
parameterization guide. You can find both on the Internet (http://www.siemens.com).

Note the following information for the operation of a sine-wave filter
A sine-wave filter is available as an option for the motor power supply.
It must be noted that sine-wave filters are only designed for the nominal clock frequency.
Therefore the parameter "f-pulse min" under "P-INVERTER DATA" must always be set to the
nominal clock frequency.

NOTICE
Overheating of the sine-wave filter
If the clock frequency drops to below the nominal clock frequency of the sine-wave filter, the
filter can overheat. The equipment will be damaged as a result.
For this reason, the parameter "f-pulse min" under "P-INVERTER DATA" must always be set
to the nominal clock frequency.

3.3.13 Additional mains power protection chokes

You can expand a inverter with an additional mains power protection choke. Use an additional

3.3.18.5 Decommissioning and shutdown

Procedure
● In the case of long shutdown or decommissioning of the inverter, drain the water cooling.
You can find further information in the documentation 4BS0698.
● Note that putrefaction products are produced if the cooling water does not flow and that
damage due to frost occurs if the unit is stored at temperatures below 0 °C.

NOTICE
Frost damage
Material damage occurs if the water cooling is exposed to frost without being drained.
Drain the system in order to avoid damage. Disconnect the hoses from the connection
points. Proceed as described for the venting. For complete purging, blow compressed air
into the supply hose while the venting valve is closed until no more water exits.

The water cooling system is drained before the inverters are shipped by the manufacturer.

3.3.18.6 Cooling water additives for the closed inverter cooling with cooling unit (optional)

Use a cooling water additive for the closed cooling system of the inverter.
Siemens recommends the agent "Antifrogen N" made by Clariant as a cooling water additive.
The concentration of this additive can be adjusted to provide the required level of frost
protection.
A minimum concentration of 20 % by volume provides anti-freeze protection down to - 10 °C.
An Antifrogen / water mixture of 1:2 provides anti-freeze protection down to - 20 °C.
Unpolluted water mixed with a minimum concentration of 20 % by volume Antifrogen N
prevents the growth of microorganisms and the formation of algae.
If you need more detailed information and recommendations regarding cooling water additives,
please refer to your order-specific inverter documentation. For further information, please refer
to document 4BS0698.

4.3 EMC

WARNING
Injury due to explosion of capacitors
If the unit has been stored for longer than two years, the DC link capacitors can explode
during commissioning. Reform the DC link capacitors if the unit has been stored for longer
than two years. Contact the factory to determine what measures must be taken.

4.3 EMC

4.3.1 Install and connect in accordance with EMC.

Note the following rules regarding the installation and connection of inverters:
● Connect the cable shield over a wide area and with low inductance. Placing the shield over
bundles of wires has practically no shield effect.
● If you also want to use the shield as PE conductor, connect the shield doubled.
– Use a low-inductance and wide area shield at the cable entry for EMC reasons.
– Use a plait on the PE rail as a precaution.
● For signal lines with Sub-D male or female connector, place the shield over the Sub-D
connector or socket. Additional application at the cable entry is no longer necessary.
● Install cables in such a way that there are no crossovers between control cables and power
cables. If you cannot prevent a crossover on the cable ducts, then make the crossover at
an angle of 90°.
● Ensure that all metallic parts of the switch cabinet are surface-connected with good
conductivity. Connections with paint layer are not permitted.
– Use contact disks or galvanized plates.
– When connecting the switch cabinet door to the switch cabinet, use grounding straps
that are as short as possible
● Connect all circuit breakers, relays, solenoid valves etc. in the switch cabinet to RC
interference suppressors.
– Do not use any diodes or varistors.
– Install the protective circuit directly on the relevant coil.
● Twist unshielded wires. This particularly includes analog signals of the same power circuit
i.e. supply and return wires.
Keep the area between supply and return wires as small as possible in order to avoid
unnecessary loop antennas.

 Preparations for use
4.3 EMC

● Separate the power cables of the inverterinput and the inverteroutput by spacing them or
using grounded separating plates.
● You may interrupt the shielding of power cables by installing components such as output
contactors, reactors, sine filters etc. Mount the components on a galvanized sheet. The
sheet simultaneously provides shielding for the incoming and outgoing motor wires.

4.3.2 Examples for correct EMC connection

You can see below some examples of expert connection of shielded cables at compact units.
If you would also like to apply cable shields with metal cable ties or metal clamps, install
shielding buses for cabinet devices.

4.4 Realizing operation in the explosion-protected zone

Converters in hazardous zones

WARNING
Explosion hazard
If you operate the converter in hazardous zones, explosions can occur which cause property
damage, serious injuries or death. Only operate the converter in safe, non-hazardous areas.

Motor in the Ex-Zone

Motors connected to the converter can be operated in the hazardous zone. Also observe the
following conditions:
● Ensure that the motor is approved for converter operation and that it has a corresponding
rating plate for converter operation.
● Ensure that the motor is approved for the Ex-Zone. Also check the motor rating plate.
● Ensure that the motors are equipped with PTC sensors according to DIN 44081 or
DIN 44082 as well as IEC 60034-11-2 Type A (EN 60947-8 and VDE 0660‑303). Connect
these PTC thermistors to the peripheral board -X3:90 to 94 . This is how you protect the
motor against an inadmissible temperature rise due to overload according to
DIN EN 60079‑14/ VDE 0165‑1 and EN 50281‑1‑1 (dust EX).
● Observe the safety regulations for use concerning motors in the Ex-Zones e or d. Directives
94/9/EG and EN 60079-14 regulate this use.
● Ensure that the motor is now only operated in the intended speed control range. Under "P-
MOTOR DATA" and "P-DRIVE DATA" enter the values stated on the motor rating plate for
"fmin" and "fmax" .
● Do not exceed the maximum motor cable length, otherwise impermissible voltage increases
can occur. For more detailed information, refer to the section titled "Motor connection"
(Page 81).
● Ensure that Ex e-motors are tested for increased safety together with the converter at the
manufacturer's factory. The system must not be operated without the test report.

 Preparations for use
4.4 Realizing operation in the explosion-protected zone

● In the case of Ex e and Ex n motors, set the values for "I contin.", "I short" and "t short" to
the values stated by the manufacturer. Do not change these values again without consulting
the motor manufacturer.
● Protect converter-fed motors in the hazardous zones using PTC thermistors. An evaluation
circuit for the motor PTC thermistor is integrated in the "peripheral board 2 / 4" option for
this. More detailed information can be found in the section "Peripheral boards 1 to 4"
(Page 34). The converter is electronically shutdown.

Safety during shutdown

The risk analysis according to EN 1050 or DIN EN ISO 14121 (draft standard) showed that in
comparison to the shutdown using contactors, only the additional hazard due to dangerous
shock currents occurred in the converter.
Due to the redundant design of the electronic shutdown route, it is achieved that the shutdown
is still ensured even if a fault in the electronic shutdown route itself occurs.
As components proven in operation are used, the converter is in compliance with
EN ISO 13849‑1:2008, Category two.
● If you do not use this electronic shutdown, the motor PTC thermistors must be routed via
ATEX-certified thermistor evaluation units, e.g. CALOMAT® CK140 … CK145.
● If you use CALOMAT® devices, you must use a line contactor on the input side.
– In this case, loop the contact of the CALOMAT® directly into the coil circuit of the line
contactor.
● Otherwise, perform the wiring of the line contactor according to the description of the main
contactor function in section "Contactor functions" (Page 134).

6.1 General information about the electrical connection
Please note the following regarding the electrical connection.
● When installing cables and selecting the cabling materials, make sure that you provide
adequate isolation between circuits of different voltage classes (DVC), e.g. by using cables
with reinforced insulation or by routing cables in separate cable ducts.
● Make sure that the cables are mechanically secured, e.g. using cable ties, against
accidental disconnection.
For detailed information about cabling and connections, please refer to DIN EN 61800‑5‑1,
section 4.3.8.

Note
Familiarize yourself with the local safety requirements and national safety guidelines and
always observe them.

NOTICE

6.4 Connecting control cable

● Locate a gL fuse or circuit breaker upstream from the inverter.

● In the case of the circuit breaker, set the thermal release to 1.2x the inverter continuous
input current as stamped on the type plate and the magnetic release to the lowest possible
value, between 1.5 and 2x the value of the inverter continuous input current.
– Only use circuit breakers without time grading (time discrimination).
– The break time of the circuit breaker in the case of a short circuit must be less than 8
ms.

Procedure when the motor has a significantly lower rating than theinverter (Imot < 0.5 * Ifu)
● Protect the inverter against short-circuits.
● Dimension the fuse value as follows: Ifuse < 2 * Imot. Use the next lower standard fuse value
than calculated.
● Parameterize the inverter parameter P-INVERTER DATA/I contin. as a maximum to the
fuse value.
● Locate a general line fuse or circuit breaker upstream from the inverter.
● In the case of the circuit breaker, set the thermal release to 2x the rated motor current
stamped on the type plate and the magnetic release to the lowest possible value, between
1.5 and 2x the value of the inverter continuous input current.
– The break time of the circuit breaker in the case of a short circuit must be less than 8
ms.

6.3 Circuit breaker

In order to safely disconnect the inverterfrom the line supply, connect a main switch or a circuit
breaker on the line side of the inverter.
The main switch or the circuit breaker must be capable of carrying at least 1.2 times the
inverterrated current.

● Connect the mains power cables L1-L2-L3 to terminals U1, V1, W1 of terminal strip -X1 of
the inverter: Refer to the technical data for the correct tightening torques for the power cable
connection.

NOTICE
Destruction due to nonsymmetrical current distribution
In the case of high pulsing inverters, destruction of the rectifier can occur due to
nonsymmetrical current distribution. Pay attention to symmetrical current distribution. Use
the same cable types and lengths as well as the same connection technology for every
mains power connection. Route all cables on the same or a comparable route so that the
cable temperatures are the same.

6.5.4 Inverter connection for different pulse operation

Inverters with higher pulsed inputs are available for higher outputs from approx. 500 kW as
they cause smaller circuit feedback on the mains power supply.

6.5.5 Adjusting the line voltage at the inverter

The inverters are suitable for different supply voltages: If your device is different from the
respective nominal line voltages of 400 V, 500 V or 690 V, you must adjust the line voltage at
the inverter.
1. Set the parameter "P-INVERTER DATA/V mains nom." to your line voltage.
2. Set the line voltage on the device:
– No adjustment is necessary for compact units with a width of 165 mm or 225 mm.
– In the case of compact units with a width of 350 mm or 500 mm, you reconnect the
jumpers according to the following table:

6.6.1 Motor selection

Three-phase asynchronous motors or three-phase synchronous motors can be used for your
inverter. The use of several motors simultaneously is permitted.
● The total of the motor outputs must not exceed the inverter output. You may operate smaller
and larger motors in parallel on one inverter.
● Take into account during the motor dimensioning that additional losses in the motor are
produced by the non-sine shaped motor current.
● Note that a motor without external ventilation will be cooled less at speeds less than the
rated speed. Therefor, consult the motor manufacturer for the dimensioning of the motor.
● When using Siemens motors, refer to the list "UN03/UN04 Drehstrommotoren für
drehzahlverstellbare Antriebe" to find the relevant inverter output.

6.6.2 Coil load

Note
Voltage increases due to switching flanks
The switching flanks in the voltage produced by the inverter also load the motor insulation.
Excess voltages occur.

If you observe the instructions in this section, voltage peaks at the motor of more than 1,560
V do not occur. Motors which are dimensioned for inverter operation therefore do not cause
any problems. If you would like to connect older motors or motors which are not suitable for
inverter operation, please consult the motor manufacturer.
Pay attention to the exact compliance with the peak voltage in the motor for explosion-protected
motors.

6.6.3 Motor voltage and type of circuit

Operate the motor as "star" or "delta" type of circuit according to the parameterization of the
inverter.
In most cases, the parameterized motor voltage on the inverter is identical to the mains voltage.
Check the parameter "P-MOTOR DATA/V-motor".

6.6.4 Dimensioning motor cables

● Voltage load
Use cables with at least U0/U = 0.6 kV/1 kV.
● Current load
– Dimension the cable cross section according to the applicable standards, e.g. VDE 0298.
– Determine the current of the motor cable according to the converter output current, which
you can find on the rating plate.
● Use shielded mains power cables or cables with concentric protective earth conductor, type
NYCWY, in order to comply with EMC directives.
● For multi-system devices, connect the same number of motor cables at each system.

 Electrical connection
6.6 Motor connection

Note the information in section "Correct EMC installation and connection" (Page 61).

WARNING
Capacitive leakage currents
An increased current can flow in the motor cable shield as a result of capacitive leakage
currents. This can cause the cable to overheat. This can result in death, serious injury or
material damage.
Use a shield cross section that is, as a minimum, half the line conductor cross-section: For
a thinner shield or for a shield manufactured out of steel braiding, route a PE conductor, which,
as a minimum, is half of the line conductor cross-section in parallel with the motor cable.

6.6.5 Dimensioning maximum motor cable length

The maximum cable length is determined by the following factors:
● Peak voltage at the motor
– All converters are equipped with a du/dt filter. The filter limits the voltage increase time
on the motor to > 0.5 µs.
– A motor peak voltage of 1,560 V is maintained for the maximum cable lengths stated in
the table.
● Inverter load
– The capacitive load of the inverter increase with increasing cable length and/or
increasing number of parallel cables.
– The parameterizable inverter clock frequency influences the converter load. If you
configure the minimum possible clock frequency , the inverter load then reduces so that
a larger cable length can be connected.

The data in the table specifies the typical cable length in the sense of the distance between
the motor and the converter when parameterizing the standard clock cycle frequency. Larger
distances are also possible for individual types. Contact the factory for precise values if you
are in the limit range or if there is a long distance between the motor and converter.

NOTICE
Damage to the converter output filter
If you lay too many wires in parallel for the motor cable, the capacitive current in the motor
cable can increase unacceptably and destroy the converter output filter. In the case of
operation with several motors or parallel wiring of motor cables, the maximum possible
distance between converter and motor is reduced. Cabinet units are suitable for wiring in
parallel. Contact the factory for the precise values. Reduce the number of parallel wires to
permissible values.

NOTICE
Destruction of the motor or the converter output filter
If you exceed the maximum motor cable length, this can destroy the motor or the converter
output filter. Consult the factory for longer motor cables.

NOTICE
Winding or bearing damage
If you use motors which are not designed for converter operation, premature winding or
bearing damage can occur. Consult the motor manufacturer to find out whether the motor is
suitable for converter operation. Please bear in mind that IEC 60034-17 is applicable to motors
that are designed for line operation but are operated with a converter. Smaller values for the
peak voltage apply here. Dimension the cable lengths after consultation with the
manufacturer.

Note
Interference signals in PTC thermistor cables
If you lay sensor cables next to power cables, interference signals can be transmitted in
the sensor cables. Lay sensor cables separated from the motor power cables. Use shielded
cables in the case of stronger inductive or capacitive input couplings. Observe the minimum
cross section of the PTC thermistor cable in the technical data (Page 185)..

6.7 External control voltage

6.7.1 Use of external control voltage

The inverter generates the control voltage from the DC link voltage in normal operation.
Use external control voltage in the following cases:
● For main contactor on the line voltage side
● If the display should also function when no line voltage is present
● If the inverter should restart operation approx. 3 s faster than without external control
voltage in the case of momentary mains power failures. The initialization time of approx. 3
s does not apply in the case of external supply.

Selecting application and mode

● It is not necessary to select an application for converters which have been fitted with a
signal controller at the factory.
● The parameter assignment is adapted in the factory when the unit is being tested and is
stored under the menu "P-DRIVE DATA/A" in the "Factory_Settings" application.
● Select the desired application under "P-DRIVE DATA/A", and select the desired operation
under "P-OPERATION/Opr.".
– Use the associated wiring diagram in the Appendix for this. The "Standard" application
is set as the default at the factory.
– For additional information, refer to the section titled "Standard" application" (Page 145).
● If you would like to make other changes to the parameters, these changes can be made at
this point.
In this case, the parameter "P-DRIVE DATA/A=Standard" changes to "P-DRIVE DATA/
A=specific".
Note
Loss of all configured values
If you select other applications before the changed parameters have been saved, all values
already set will be lost. Save the changed parameters before selecting other applications.

Checking mains power supply parameters

1. Set your mains rated voltage in the menu item "P-INVERTER DATA/V mains nom.".
If necessary, set the controller / fan transformer correctly.
2. For additional information, refer to the section titled "Mains connection" (Page 77).

Adapting motor data

1. Under "P-MOTOR DATA"/ first set the controller variant of the converter or the motor type.
You can enter the following control variants:
● "async_SVC": Asynchron Space Vector Control, Vector control
– Use normal three-phase motors without special applications for converter operation.
– Use the rating plate data for parameterization purposes if the motor is to be operated
with the converter.
● "async_FOC": Asynchron Field Oriented Control, Field-oriented control
– For this function, use a tachogenerator directly on the motor shaft which meets the
required conditions. More detailed information can be found in the section "Sub-D
connections and DIL switches" (Page 126).
– The load machine and the required dynamics determine the maximum required impulses
per revolution which the tacho should have.
– Use at least 1,024 pulses / 360°. If you increase the dynamics, then also increase the
number of impulses, e.g. to 2,048 or 4,096. Use a tacho with larger number of impulses
for smaller flywheels.

1. Determine the minimum output frequency of the output rotary field for minimum setpoint
value with the "/fmin" value. The "/fmax" value specifies the upper speed limit. For more
detailed information, refer to the section titled "Motor connection" (Page 81).
2. Set the rotation direction under "/Rotation":
– "Clockwise" or "Anticlockwise" specifies the rotary field as clockwise or anticlockwise.
– "Both" means that the rotary field depends on the polarity of the setpoint value and can
be changed using the terminal block command "Reversing".
3. Set the speed of setpoint changes under "P-SPEED DEFAULT/t-accel." and "P-SPEED
DEFAULT/t-decel.".

Checking all inputs and outputs

1. Check whether signals arrive correctly at all inputs and outputs.
You can simulate all data except load-dependent data.
2. Under "P‑EXTRAS/Menu" set the value for the menu level to "Standard", in order to
increase the number of accessible parameters and thus be able to make further parameter
adjustments.

7.3 Checks with mains power supply and with motor

Perform the following tests and configurations with an uncoupled motor. This prevents damage
to the work machine in the case of errors. If test with uncouple motor are not possible, perform
the tests with coupled motor. However, increased caution is thereby required.

Performing auto tuning

The inverter can be matched to the connected motor under "P-MOTOR DATA/Auto-Tuning".
● Select the "Yes" option and press the "Apply" button.
– The inverter transmits a measurement signal to the motor.
– The inverter calculates the current total resistance of motor winding and motor supply
line from the measured values.

7.4 Checking with motor coupled to the work machine

Checking the vibration

1. Carry out slowly the complete speed control range. Observe the motor in doing so.
– If vibrations occur at a certain speed, contact the motor manufacturer for advice. If
required, you can suppress this frequency.
2. Suppress two frequency bands with a minimum and a maximum value in the menu, which
will then no longer be used by the drive under steady-state operating conditions "P-DRIVE
DATA/fno1" and "P-DRIVE DATA/fno2".

7.4 Checking with motor coupled to the work machine

Perform the following tests with the driven machine.
The measurement should be taken at the highest possible output frequency and load. Consult
the factory fin the case of large difference.

Symmetry of mains and motor current

1. Measure the mains current and the motor current using a current clamp meter. The
measured value deviates from the displayed value on the screen depending on the type
and quality of the current clamp meter.
2. Ensure that the same current flows in all three mains power phases with a maximum
deviation of 5% of the inverter rated current. You thus detect whether damaging imbalance
of the mains voltage is present.
3. The same applies in all motor phases with a maximum deviation of 2%. In the case of cables
laid in parallel, also check the current distribution to the individual conductors. Here, you
recognize insufficiently clamped connections and also damage to the motor.

Checking load-dependent measured values

● Check the motor current with the couple work machine.
● Check whether the motor current on the display in stationary operation, i.e. without
acceleration or braking, exceeds the motor current on the rating plate.

Documenting measured values, saving parameter file

Document all measured values from the commissioning in a measurement report and save
the parameters of the inverter with the "IMS" software.

2. Select a language using the software "IMS" under "Online functions, Transfer language...".

Note
Loss of a display language
Every new display language transmitted to the inverter overwrites one of the existing
languages.

8.1.4 Setting the date and time

An accurate device time setting makes it easier to troubleshoot later.
Faults which occur during operation are stored in an event log with date and time of day.
Set the current date and time under "P‑EXTRAS/Date" and "Time" respectively.
● The current time of the testing date is set as CET at the factory.
● Winter and Summer time are not taken into account.

8.1.5 Setting the level of detail of the inverter menu

Set the level of detail of the inverter menu in the menu "P-EXTRAS" to change the number of
visible menus and parameters and to increase the display clarity.

8.1.6 Inverter operating commands

The converter is operated by using various inputs, such as control cable terminal block inputs,
PROFIBUS control words, signal generators etc. Further information can be found under
"Configuring operating sources" (Page 109).

 Operation
8.1 Operation

The commands have the following functions:

● "Controller release
The power unit in the converter, consisting of IGBTs, is only active when controller is
enabled. As well as the options for releasing the controller by software, control cable
terminal ‑A1‑X2:8 must also be energized. If you deactivate this function, the output
semiconductor is blocked immediately and the motor coasts to a stop.
● "Speed ON"
Use this command for controlled shutdown of a motor. The motor passes through a brake
ramp during shutdown. The converter is immediately ready for a restart after the braking.
● "Reset"
Acknowledge a queued error using the command "Reset". The converter also takes into
account a shutdown using functions "Fast stop" or "Off1" and "Off2".
● "Off1 (NC)" and "Off2 (NC)"
– Perform a controlled braking with the command "Off1". This command is initiated by
software. Perform an immediate block with the command "Off2". An optional main
contactor drops out. Acknowledge the converter before restarting using the "Reset"
command. When restarting, the converter must first be pre-charged.
– The actuation via the control cable terminal block of "Off1" and "Off2" is made using an
NC (normally closed) contact.
● "Emerg. stop (NC) OFF3"
– Perform a controlled braking on the "fast stop brake ramp" with the command "Off3".
This command is initiated by software. The converter shuts down after braking. An
optional main contactor drops out. Acknowledge the converter before restarting using
the "Reset" command.
– The actuation via the control cable terminal block of "Fast stop (NC)" is made via an NC
contact.
This function is not safety-related in the sense of EN ISO 13849‑1:2008. If you must
realize a safety-relevant function "Emerg. stop" according to IEC/EN 60204, stop
category one, then control this input and a main contactor via an appropriate safety
relay, e.g. type 3TK2827... from Siemens.

WARNING
Non-safety-related function "Fast stop (NC) OFF3"
If you use the "Fast stop (NC) OFF3" function without additional safety relay in the input
and for a main contactor, then the motor will not be shut down safely. This can result
in death, serious injury or material damage.
Use a safety relay for input and main contactor, e.g. type 3TK2827..., for a "Fast stop"
safety-related function according to IEC/EN 60204, stop category one.

● "int.ctr.inhib."
If you have realized the operating functions using controls, e.g. ON / OFF button, this
command causes a shutdown using controller lock without deactivating the controls. No
new ON command is necessary for the restart.
● "int. speed off"
This command has the same function as "int.ctr.inhib.", however cause a controlled braking
to zero speed. All controls are maintained.

 Operation
8.1 Operation

● "Reversing"
– In the menu item "P-DRIVE DATA/Rotation =", if you enter the value "both", you can
then activate the command "Reversing". When activated, the converter changes the
rotating output field. In doing so, the motor is braked in a controlled way on the brake
ramp to zero speed. Afterwards, it is accelerated to the configured setpoint value in the
opposite direction. If the value "both" is not set, the drive goes to the configured minimum
speed.
– If the drive does not start despite the presence of setpoint value and operating
commands, check whether the reverse function is activated and at the same time only
one rotation direction is enabled.
● "Motor potentiometer"
Similarly to a mechanical motor potentiometer, you can change the setpoint value using
the <up arrow> and <down arrow> buttons. The position of the motor potentiometer is
stored in the case of power failure.

8.1.7 Configuring operating sources

● Assign the functions mentioned above to the desired operating source.
– You can configure operating sources for "Local", using internal display, "Remote", using
control cable terminal block ‑X2 and "BUS", e.g. Profibus or RS 485, via the PC.
● Configure your selection for the On/Off commands with the command "Op.-source" in the
menu "P-INTERFACE\Op.-source" .
● If you would like to switch between "Local" and "Remote", then invoke the changeover using
a finished configuration under "P-OPERATION/Opr." or change the setting "P-
PARAMETER SWITCH".
● Select the Reset source for the Reset command under "P-INTERFACE" .
– If you would like to activate the reset independently of the operating source changeover,
then set "Global". The reset is then possible at all operating sources.

8.1.8 Invoking mode configurations

Invoke the finished operating configurations under "P-OPERATION/Opr.". Settings for the
controls and the parameter switches are automatically made in these configurations.
For each selection, there is an associated connection plan and a specified mode of functioning
of the display buttons and digital inputs. Further information can be found in the "Standard
mode settings" (Page 113) section.
Changes in the menu "P-OPERATION/" cause under "P-OPERATION/Opr." the addition
"special" as information that something has been changed from the standard.

8.1.10 Meaning of the abbreviations for operating functions

The following abbreviations exist for the operating options of "Controller block" and "Speed
On" via display or control cable terminal block:
● "siss"
● "sisd"
● "dids"
● "didd"
The letters have the following meanings:
● "s" designates the static setting. The default for "On" us performed via a permanent contact.
● "d" designates the dynamic setting. The defaults for "On" and "Off" are performed via an
On-button or Off-button.
● "i" designates the internal display. The operation is performed using the <On> and <Off>
buttons.
The individual positions in the abbreviation have the following meaning:
1. position: Controller block for "local", e.g. "s" for static via control cable terminal block
2. position: Speed On for "local", e.g. "i" for internal display via <On> and <Off> buttons
3. position: Controller block for "remote", e.g. "s" for static via terminal block
4. position: Speed On for "remote", e.g. "d" for dynamic via control cable terminal block
You can change the operating source from "local", i.e. the inverter display, to "remote", i.e. the
control cable terminal block –X2. To do this, apply a voltage of 24 V to the terminal ‑X2:12.
The mode settings "NAMUR 1" to "NAMUR 6" designate the different variations of the operation
options according to the NAMUR specification.

8.1.11 Function of "P-Profibus/Modbus"

Using the "P-Profibus/Modbus" function, you select basic Profibus or Modbus settings such
as, e.g. bus address and PPO type.
"Reaction" and "Time-out t" mean how and after which time the inverter reacts to an interruption
of the Profibus or Modbus.
Further information can be found in section "Profibus DP" (Page 46) or "Modbus RTU"
(Page 48).

8.1.12 Function of "P-DIGITAL OUTPUTS"

The inverter provides at least four relays and two LEDs. In the "P-DIGITAL OUTPUTS" menu,
you can select the signal which should actuate the respective relay or LED from a list ("Bitpool").
More outputs might be available depending on the variants and quantity of installed power
sections.

8.1.13 Function of "P-ANALOG OUTPUTS"

The inverter has two electrically isolated analog outputs. Depending on the type of connected
measuring instrument, the output signal is automatically set to a +20 mA current source or to
a +10 V voltage source. Input the following in the "P-ANALOG OUTPUTS" menu:
● Which signals should be output?
● What is the full scale value of your display instrument?
● Should a 4 mA addition or a different value be added?
● Should a center point increase be output for the presentation of bipolar signals?

8.1.14 Operation of several inverters on one PC

It is possible to actuate several inverters simultaneously with one PC using the PC tool "IMS".
You can select the communication interfaces Ethernet, Profibus, Modbus or RS 485 . In all
cases, you need a converter for the relevant network RS 485, Modbus or Profibus on the PC
with the PC tool "IMS".
If you create the network using Profibus or Modbus, you will also need the option "Profibus"
or "Modbus", as described in the corresponding sections.
Further information about the operation of several inverters on one PC can be found in the PC
tool "IMS". A communication network based on RS 485 limits the network to a further 63 nodes.

8.4.1 Function of the control cable terminals

Figure 8-13 Control cable terminals

The purpose of the control cable terminals is to allow the connection of control cables for
exchanging signals.
For more detailed information about the function of control cable terminals, refer to section
"Standard mode settings" (Page 113). The function of the control cable terminals, with the
exception of input ‑X2:8 for hardware shutdown, is dependent on the parameterization.

8.4.2 Protective separation according to EN 61800-5-1

WARNING
High voltages
If you connect peripheral devices which do not conform to this insulation concept, equipment
damage might occur as a result of inadequate insulation. This can result in death, serious
injury or material damage.
Connect devices and cables to the control cable terminals only if they conform to the relevant
voltage class (DVC) described in this section.

Control and power circuits have protective separation between them according to
EN 61800‑5‑1. The following graphics show the principle structure:

8.4.6 Connecting encoders

An encoder is required for field-oriented control only, the standard control works without an
encoder.

Note
Unwanted operating state
If you do not connect up the encoder cables correctly, the loss of the encoder signal can give
rise to unwanted operating states in the inverter control system.

Connecting a sincos encoder to ‑X25

All encoder signals have a voltage level of 1 VSS.
The encoder connection on the motor side is designed as a socket. For this version, the
manufacturer provides a complete encoder cable, e.g. ERN 387 from the company
Heidenhain, Item No. 0278599 with a length of 10 meters. You can also purchase an adapter
cable, Item No. 0278581. Ask the inverter manufacturer about other encoder cables.
The encoder connection on the inverter side is designed as a socket.
● Only use this encoder for field-oriented control with a speed accuracy < 1 %.
● Connect the encoder mechanically rigid to the motor.

Main contactor
If you install a main contactor in your application, this can be controlled using the inverter
software.
In this case, the coil is controlled via a digital output. Feedback from the normally open contact
of the main contactor is realized via digital input ‑X2:8.
You can provide the main contactor on the mains power side, NS in short, or on the motor
side, MS in short. The "P-INV. BEHAVIOUR/MCfunc" parameter specifies when the main
contactor will be switched and where the main contactor must be installed.
Example: Shutdown only in the case of an error, installation on the mains power or motor side.

● Also adjust the corresponding DIL switches of the -S2 switch row on board CB08
● More detailed information can be found in the section "DIL switches S1 and S2 (Page 127)".
The following functions are now available:
● "Analog":
The analog input operates as a voltage input at control cable terminals ‑X2:52‑51 / 54‑51
or as a current input at control cable terminals ‑X2:50‑51 / 53‑51 The value is available as
"AI 1" or "AI 2" for further processing.
● "PTC":
The analog input operates as a PTC thermistor input at control cable terminals
‑X2:50‑51 / 53‑51. The PTC thermistor status is available for further processing as selection
bit as "PTC AI 1" or " PTC AI 2"
● "KTY84":
The analog input operates as a direct input for a KTY84-130 temperature sensor at control
cable terminals ‑X2:50‑51 / 53‑51. The measured temperature is available as an analog
value under "T‑AI1" or "T‑AI 2" for further processing.
● "PT100":
The analog input operates as a direct input for a PT100 temperature sensor at control cable
terminals ‑X2:50‑51 / 53‑51. The measured temperature is available as an analog value
under "T‑AI1" or "T‑AI 2" for further processing.
Any analog input can only be used for one function. It is not possible to use several functions
simultaneously for one input.

Digital inputs ‑X2:27 and ‑X2:28 as PTC thermistor inputs

The digital inputs are interpreted as a normal digital input for control with a 24 V signal. If these
control cable terminals are wired to 10 V potential using a PTC thermistor sensor, these
function automatically as PTC thermistor monitoring inputs. The selection bits "PTC X2:27"
and "PTC X2:28 indicate the PTC thermistor status.

NOTICE
Unsuitable evaluation unit
If the PTC thermistor for explosion proof motors or for safe isolation is not evaluated using
an ATEX-certified, safely isolated evaluation unit or the peripherals board, damage to the
converter can occur.
Use an ATEX-certified, safely isolated evaluation unit or the peripherals board for safe
operation.

Digital inputs ‑X2:27, ‑X2:28 and ‑X2:29 as frequency or tachometer inputs

These digital inputs can be used as a frequency or tachometer input, for example, in the
following way.
● The field-oriented control at input ‑X25 / ‑X101 is not possible, e.g. if the n-sensor is installed
on the machine and there is a gearbox between machine and motor.
● Only one simple proximity switch with e.g. four impulses per revolution is available. The
resolution for the field-oriented regulation is too small in this case. It is suitable for displays
or more precise speed regulation.
● You connect a frequency-dependent setpoint generator of the type used for mining
applications, for example.
Example applications for the digital inputs as frequency inputs:
● Proximity switch with NAMUR output or with PNP-3 wire output
● Two-channel digital tachometer with HTL output

NOTICE
Incorrect parameter settings
The converter and other connected components can be damaged or destroyed if the
parameter settings are incorrect.
Only qualified personnel may change parameters; the instructions in the Operating Manual
and the technical data of the converter and connected components must be carefully
observed.

The configuration uses the principle Input→Processing→Output Many functions in plain text
are available in the bit pool for the input. You always have the selection from the bit pool when
you are in the menu of a processing function, for example when changing the function "P-
ContrlRelease/Local" you always have the selection "\X2:8\X2:9…"
Processing functions for the output are available, for example "P‑DigitalOutputs/Relays 1‑4",
"LED 1‑2" or "P‑AnalogOutputs".
Several functions are available for the processing, for example "P‑MESSAGE-GEN MESS" or
"P‑PARAMETERSWITCH".
The following graphic clarifies this processing method:

8.7.2 Protecting parameters against modification

NOTICE
Incorrect parameter settings
The inverter and other connected components can be damaged or destroyed if the parameter
settings are incorrect.
Using the following measures, protect the parameter settings from unauthorized access.

You can configure all parameters of the inverter in the delivery condition using the internal
control panel or via an RS 232 connection to a PC with the "IMS" software.
If you would like that the inverter should only be configured from one location, you can set this
under "P-INTERFACE/Para-source".
If you would like to no longer allow any parameter changes, you must set the DIL switch S1.1
to "Off". The exact position of this DIL switch is described in the section "Sub-D connections
and DIL switches" (Page 126).

8.7.3 Configuration using the inverter display

1. You reach the configuration menu by pressing the button <P>. The display "P-DRIVE
DATA" is shown in the first line.
2. Individual menu items can be selected using <up arrow> and <down arrow>. For example,
you reach "P-INTERFACE" using the <down arrow>.
3. When "P-DRIVE DATA" is displayed, press <Return> in order to display the submenu of
"P-DRIVE DATA". The first parameter of "P-DRIVE DATA" "A=Standard" is shown in the
second line.
4. If you press <Return> again, you see the display "A_Standard" for example on line two.
The indicated cursor means that you can input a new value for the parameter using <up
arrow> and <down arrow>.
5. If you press <Return> again, you see the changed display "A=Namur 1". The cursor is then
no longer visible. The parameter is thus applied in the modified form.
6. Press <up arrow> or <down arrow> in order to change other parameters in the same menu.
Press <P> to go one level higher in the menu structure.
You can then use the same principle of operation in any other menu.

C.7 Technical data of the control cable terminals

Red pins avoid mixing up the connectors. The control cable terminals are plug-in connections.
You can unplug the plugged-in connections when disconnected from the power supply.
When installing cables and selecting the cabling materials, it is essential that you observe the
information in sections "Safe isolation in accordance with EN 61800‑5‑1" (Page 123) and
"Connecting the control cable" (Page 76).
The control cable terminals are color-coded:
● The green terminals on the far left contain all relay outputs and the optocoupler inputs at a
separate potential.
● The black terminals contain the potential-free analog inputs and digital inputs which are
electrically separated the same as the analog inputs.
● The white terminals contain the electrically separated analog outputs.
All external voltages can be connected together for controlling a PCS or PLC. To do this, jumper
the ground terminals ‑X2:1 with ‑X2:51 and ‑X2:51 with ‑X2:71.
If you control the converter using different devices, potential displacements occur which
depend on the cable length used. Remove the jumpers for longer cables.

C.12.2 Voltage derating

The compact units are dimensioned according to minimum air clearances up to 2000 m above
sea level and the cabinet units up to 3000 m. Voltage derating is not required unless the
installation altitude is higher than 2000 m or 3000 m above sea level.
Since the air clearances in the inverter cannot be changed, this factor must be taken into
account in the voltage derating calculation.
