1.4 Application wizards

The application wizards have been designed to ease up the commissioning and parametrising
of the AC drive. They will customise the settings to meet the end use requirements in terms of
functionality and I/O connections. The wizards are well suited to typical field applications, and
you can select the application configuration that is nearest to the intended use of the frequency
converter. The application configuration can be selected in the Startup Wizard during
commissioning (see chapter 1.2, step 7), or any time with parameter P1.2 Application (ID 212).
(See chapter 8).
When the selection is made with parameter P1.2 , the parameter default values are set to
comply with the selected application. The quick setup menu shows the most essential
application-specific parameters. These parameters and all other parameters can also be
edited and changed in the Parameters menu (M3) any time, giving the user a free hand to make
changes, regardless of the selected application configuration.
See detailed descriptions of the applications in chapter 1.5.
When one of the applications is selected with parameter P1.2 Application (ID 212), the wizard
always shows the following steps first to be followed:

Select P3.1.2.2 Motor Type PM Motor

1 (according to nameplate) Induction Motor
Set value for P3.1.1.1 Motor
2 Nominal Voltage (according to Range: Varies
nameplate)
Set value for P3.1.1.2 Motor
3 Nominal Frequency (according to Range: 8.00...320.00 Hz
nameplate)
Set value for P3.1.1.3 Motor
4 Nominal Speed (according to Range: 24...19200
nameplate)
Set value for P3.1.1.4 Motor
5 Nominal Current
Range: Varies
Set value for P3.1.1.5 Motor Cos
6 Phi
Range: 0.30-1.00

Step 6 appears only If ‘Induction Motor’ has been selected in step 1.

Set value for P3.3.1.1 Minimum

7 Frequency Reference
Range: 0.00...P3.3.1.2 Hz

Set value for P3.3.1.2 Maximum Range:P3.3.1.1...320.00 Hz

8 Frequency Reference
Set value for P3.4.1.2 Accelera- Range: 0.1...300.0 s
9 tion Time 1
Set value for P3.4.1.3 Decelera- Range: 0.1...300.0 s

1.5 Description of the applications

1.5.1 Standard and HVAC applications

Standard and HVAC applications are typically used in simple speed-controlled applications
(e.g. pumps and fans), where no special features are needed.
The drive can be controlled either from Keypad, Fieldbus or I/O terminal.
In I/O terminal control, the drive frequency reference signal is connected either to AI1 (0…10V)
or AI2 (4…20mA), depending on the reference signal type. There are also three preset
frequency references available. Preset references can be activated by DI4 and DI5. Drive start/
stop signals are connected to DI1 (start forward) and DI2 (Start reverse).
All drive outputs are freely configurable. One analogue output (Output Frequency) and three
relay outputs (Run, Fault, Ready) are available on the basic I/O board.

See the detailed descriptions on the application-specific parameters in chapter 8.

1.5.2 PID control application

The PID control application is typically used in applications where the process variable (e.g.
pressure) is controlled by controlling the speed of the motor (e.g. pump or fan). In this
configuration, the drive's internal PID controller will be configured for one setpoint and one
feedback signal. The PID control application provides a smooth control and an integrated
measuring and controlling package, where no additional components are needed.
Two individual control places can be used. Selection between control places A and B is done by
DI6. When control place A is active, start/stop commands are given by DI1 and frequency
reference is taken from PID controller. When control place B is active, start/stop commands
are given by DI4 and frequency reference is taken directly from AI1.
All drive outputs are freely configurable. One analogue output (Output Frequency) and three
relay outputs (Run, Fault, Ready) are available on the basic I/O board.

See detailed descriptions on the application-specific parameters in chapter 8.

1.5.3 Multipump (single drive) application

Multipump (Single Drive) application is designed for applications where one drive is controlling
a system consisting of up to 8 parallel motors (e.g. pumps, fans, compressors). By default,
Multipump (Single Drive) application is configured for 3 parallel motors.
The drive is connected to one of the motors. The internal PID controller of the drive controls
the speed of the regulating motor and gives control signals (via relay outputs) to start/stop the
auxiliary motors. External contactors are needed to switch the auxiliary motors to supply
mains.
The process variable (e.g. pressure) is controlled by controlling the speed of the one motor and
the number of running motors.

See the detailed descriptions on the application-specific parameters in chapter 8.11.

Autochange -function can be used for equalising the wear of all motors in the system.
Autochange function monitors the running hours of each motor and arranges the starting
order of the motors according to them. Motor with the lowest running hours is started first and
motor with the greatest running hours is started last. Autochange (change of starting order)
can be configured to take place based on autochange interval time or based on drives internal
real time clock (if RTC-battery is installed into the drive).
Autochange can be configured to cover all the pumps in the system or only the auxiliary pumps.
NOTE! Different connections, depending on selected autochange mode (See Figure 10 and
Figure 11).

Two individual control places can be used. Selection between control places A and B is done
with DI6. When control place A is active, start/stop commands are given with DI1 and frequency
reference is taken from PID controller. When control place B is active, start/stop commands
are given with DI4 and frequency reference is taken directly from AI1.
All drive outputs are freely configurable. One analogue output (Output Frequency) and three
relay outputs (Run, Fault, Ready) are available on the basic I/O board.

Multipump (Multidrive) application is designed for a system consisting of up to 8 parallel
variable speed motors (e.g. pumps, fans, compressors). By default, Multipump (Multidrive)
application is configured for 3 parallel motors.

See detailed descriptions on the application-specific parameters in chapter 8.11.

The checklist for commissioning a multipump (multidrive) system is presented in chapter

8.11.1.

Each motor is controlled by its own drive. Drives of the system are communicating with each
other by Modbus RTU communication.

motor with the greatest running hours is started last. Autochange (change of starting order)
can be configured to take place based on autochange interval time or based on drives internal
real time clock (if RTC-battery is installed into the drive).

The selectable values can be accessed and edited in two different ways on the graphical
keypad.
Parameters with one valid value
Typically, for one parameter is set one value. The value is selected either from a list of values
(see the example below) or the parameter is given a numerical value from a defined range (e.g.
0.00...50.00 Hz).
Change the value of a parameter by following the procedure below:
1. Locate the parameter.
2. Enter the Edit mode.
3. Set the new value with the arrow buttons Up/Down. You can also move from digit to digit
with the arrow buttons Left/Right, if the value is numerical and then change the value with
the arrow buttons Up/Down.

2.2.1.2 Resetting fault

Instructions on how to reset a fault can be found in chapter 9.1 Fault appears.

2.2.1.3 Function button

The FUNCT button is used for four functions:
1. to quickly access the Control page,
2. to easily change between the Local (Keypad) and Remote control places,
3. to change the rotation direction and
4. to quickly edit a parameter value.

Control places
The control place is the source of control, where the drive can be started and stopped. Every
control place has its own parameter for selecting the frequency reference source. The Local
control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is determined by parameter
P3.2.1 (I/O or Fieldbus). The selected control place can be seen on the status bar of the keypad.
Remote control place
I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus can be used as remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus have the
lowest priority and can be chosen with parameter P3.2.1 (Rem Control Place). I/O B, again,
can bypass the remote control place selected with parameter P3.2.1 using a digital input. The
digital input is selected with parameter P3.5.1.7 (I/O B Ctrl Force).
Local control
Keypad is always used as the control place while in local control. Local control has higher
priority than remote control. Therefore, if, for example, bypassed by parameter P3.5.1.7
through digital input while in Remote, the control place will still switch to Keypad if Local is
selected. Switching between Local and Remote Control is made by pressing the FUNCT button
on the keypad or by using the "Local/Remote" (ID211) parameter.
Changing control places
Change of control place from Remote to Local (keypad).
1. Anywhere in the menu structure, push the FUNCT button.
2. Push the Arrow up or the Arrow down button to select Local/Remote and confirm with the
OK button.
3. On the next display, select Local or Remote and again confirm with the OK button.
4. The display will return to the same location as it was when the FUNCT button was pushed.
However, if the Remote control place was changed to Local (Keypad), you will be instructed
to keypad reference.

2.2.1.4 Copying parameters

NOTE! This feature is available in graphical keypad only.
The parameter copy function can be used to copy parameters from one drive to another.
The parameters are first saved to the keypad, then the keypad is detached and connected to

to be stopped before the parameters are uploaded.
• First go into User settings menu and locate the Parameter backup submenu. In the
Parameter backup submenu, there are three possible functions to be selected:
• Restore factory defaults will re-establish the parameter settings originally made at the
factory.
• By selecting Save to keypad you can copy all parameters to the keypad.
• Restore from keypad will copy all the parameters from the keypad to a drive.

You can also choose a so-called Text keypad for your user interface. It has mainly the same
functionalities as the graphical keypad, although some of the functionalities are somewhat
limited.

2.3.1 Keypad display

The keypad display indicates the status of the motor and the drive and any irregularities in the
motor or drive functions. On the display, the user sees information about the drive and the
present location in the menu structure and the item displayed. If the text on the text line is too
long to fit in the display, the text will scroll from left to right to reveal the whole text string.

Instructions for how to reset a fault can be found in 9.1 Fault appears.

2.3.2.3 Function button

The FUNCT button is used for four functions:
Control places
The control place is the source of control, where the drive can be started and stopped. Every
control place has its own parameter for selecting the frequency reference source. The Local
control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is determined by parameter
P3.2.1 (I/O or Fieldbus). The selected control place can be seen on the status bar of the keypad.
Remote control place
I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus can be used as remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus have the
lowest priority and can be chosen with parameter P3.2.1 (Rem Control Place). I/O B, again,
can bypass the remote control place selected with parameter P3.2.1 using a digital input. The
digital input is selected with parameter P3.5.1.7 (I/O B Ctrl Force).
Local control
Keypad is always used as the control place while in local control. Local control has higher
priority than remote control. Therefore, if, for example, bypassed by parameter P3.5.1.7
through digital input while in Remote, the control place will still switch to Keypad, if Local is
selected. Switching between Local and Remote Control is made by pressing the FUNCT button
on the keypad or by using the "Local/Remote" (ID211) parameter.

8. PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
Due to its user-friendliness and simplicity of use, most parameters of the drive only require a
basic description, which is given in parameter tables in chapter 4 Parameters menu.
In this chapter, you will find additional information on certain most advanced parameters of the
drive. If you do not find the information you need, contact your distributor.

P1.2 APPLICATION (ID 212)

When commissioning or starting up the drive, the user can select one of the preset application
configurations (the one that corresponds best to the need). Preset application configurations
are predefined parameter sets, which will be loaded to the drive when the value of parameter
P1.2 Application is changed.
The application selection minimises the need for manual editing of the parameters and
provides an easy commissioning of the drive.

NOTE! The application wizards are presented in chapter 1.4 Application wizards.

If this parameter is changed by using a (graphical) keypad, selected configuration will be

loaded to drive and an application wizard will be started to assist the user by instructing the
basic parameters, which are related to the selected application.
The following preset application configurations can be selected:
0 = Standard
1 = HVAC
2 = PID Control
3 = Multipump (Single drive)
4 = Multipump (Multidrive)
NOTE! Content of the M1 Quick Setup menu changes, depending on the selected application.

P3.1.2.4 IDENTIFICATION (ID 631)

The automatic motor identification calculates or measures the motor parameters that are
needed for optimum motor and speed control.
Identification Run is a part of tuning the motor and the drive specific parameters. It is a tool for
commissioning and service of the drive with the aim to find as good parameter values as
possible for most drives.
NOTE! Motor nameplate parameters have to be set before executing the identification run.
Table 103.

Selection
Selection name Description
number
0 No action No identification requested.
1 Identification at The drive is run without speed to identify the motor parameters.
standstill The motor is supplied with current and voltage but with zero
frequency. U/f ratio is identified.
2 Identification with The drive is run with speed to identify the motor parameters. U/f
motor rotating ratio and magnetisation current are identified.
NOTE! This identification run must be performed with no load on
the motor shaft for accurate results.

The automatic identification is activated by setting this parameter to the desired value and
giving a start command in the requested direction. The start command to the drive has to be
given within 20 s. If no start command is given within this time, the identification run is
cancelled, the parameter will be reset to its default setting and an Identification alarm will be
launched.
The identification run can be stopped at any time with normal stop command and the
parameter is reset to its default setting. An Identification alarm will be launched if the
identification run has failed.
NOTE! New start command (Rising edge) is required to start the drive after identification.

P3.1.2.6 MOTOR SWITCH (ID 653)

This function is typically used if there is a switch between the drive and the motor. Such
switches are often found in residential and industrial applications to make sure that an
electrical circuit can be completely de-energised from the motor for service or maintenance.
When this parameter is enabled and the motor switch is opened to disconnect the running
motor, the drive detects the loss of motor without tripping. It is not necessary to make any
changes in the run command or the reference signal to the drive from the process control
station. When the motor is re-connected after completed maintenance by closing the switch,
the drive detects the motor connection and runs the motor to the reference speed as per the
process commands.
If the motor is rotating when re-connected, the drive detects the speed of the running motor
through its Flying start feature and then controls it to desired speed as per the process
commands.

P3.1.2.7 LOAD DROOPING (ID 620)

The drooping function enables speed drop as a function of load. This parameter sets that
amount corresponding to the nominal torque of the motor.
This function is used e.g. when balanced load is needed for mechanically connected motors
(static drooping) or dynamic speed drooping is needed because of changing load. In static
drooping the drooping time is set to equal zero, meaning that the drooping will not decay over
time. In dynamic drooping the drooping time is set and the load is momentarily drooped by
taking energy from the system inertia instead and which reduces current torque spikes at high
instant load changes.

E.g. if load drooping is set to 10% for a motor with a nominal frequency of 50 Hz and the motor
is loaded with nominal load (100 % of torque), the output frequency is allowed to decrease 5 Hz
from the frequency reference.

P3.1.2.10 OVERVOLTAGE CONTROL (ID 607)

P3.1.2.11 UNDERVOLTAGE CONTROL (ID 608)
These parameters allow the under-/overvoltage controllers to be switched out of operation.
This may be useful, for example, if the mains supply voltage varies more than -15% to +10%
and the application will not tolerate operation of over-/undervoltage controller. If enabled, the
controllers modify the output frequency taking the supply fluctuations into account. P3.1.2.13
Stator voltage adjust.
NOTE! This parameter will be automatically set during the identification run. It is
recommended to make the identification run, if possible. See parameter P3.1.2.4.
Stator voltage adjust parameter is used only when Permanent magnet motor (PM motor) has
been selected for parameter P3.1.2.2. This parameter has no affect if Induction motor has
been selected. With an induction motor in use, the value has been internally forced to 100% and
it cannot be changed.
When the value of parameter P3.1.2.2 (Motor type) parameter is changed to PMS Motor, the
parameters P3.1.4.2 (Field weakening point frequency) and P3.1.4.3 (Voltage at field
weakening point) will be automatically extended up to the limits of the drive's full output
voltage, retaining the defined U/f-ratio. This internal extension is done to avoid running the
PMS motor in the field weakening area because the PMS motor nominal voltage is typically
much lower than the full output voltage capability of the drive.
PMS motor nominal voltage typically represents the motor’s back-EMF voltage at nominal
frequency, but depending on the motor manufacturer, it may represent e.g. the stator voltage
at nominal load.
This parameter gives an easy way to adjust the drive’s U/f curve near to the motor’s back-EMF
curve without needing to change several U/f curve parameters.
The Stator voltage adjust parameter defines the drive’s output voltage in percent of the motor’s
nominal voltage at the motor’s nominal frequency.
The U/f curve of the drive is typically tuned slightly above the back-EMF curve of the motor. The
motor current increases the more the drive’s U/f-curve differs from the motor’s
back-EMF -curve.

P3.1.4.1 U/F RATIO (ID 108)

Table 104.

Selection
Selection name Description
number
0 Linear The voltage of the motor changes linearly as a function of output
frequency from zero frequency voltage (P3.1.4.6) to the field
weakening point (FWP) voltage (P3.1.4.3) at FWP frequency
(P3.1.4.2). This default setting should be used, if there is no special
need for another setting.
1 Squared The voltage of the motor changes from zero Frequency voltage
(P3.1.4.6) following a squared curve form from zero to the Field
weakening point frequency (P3.1.4.2). See Figure 46. The motor
runs undermagnetised below the field weakening point and
produces less torque. Squared U/f ratio can be used in
applications, where torque demand is proportional to the square of
the speed, e.g. in centrifugal fans and pumps.
2 Programmable The U/f curve can be programmed with three different points (see
Figure 47.): Zero frequency voltage (P1), Midpoint voltage/
frequency (P2) and Fieldweakening point (P3). Programmable U/f
curve can be used if more torque is needed at low frequencies. The
optimal settings can automatically be achieved with Motor

values, if parameter P3.1.2.2 Motor type is set to ‘0’ Induction Motor (IM).

P3.1.4.3 VOLTAGE AT FIELD WEAKENING POINT (ID 603)

Above the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage remains at the set
maximum value. Below the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage depends
on the setting of the U/f curve parameters. See parameters P3.1.4.1, P3.1.4.4 and P3.1.4.5.
When the parameters P3.1.1.1 Motor nominal voltage and P3.1.1.2 Motor nominal frequency
are set, the parameters P3.1.4.2 Field weakening point frequency and P3.1.4.3 Voltage at field
weakening point are automatically given the corresponding values. If you need different values
for the field weakening point and the maximum output voltage, change these parameters after
setting the parameters P3.1.1.1 and P3.1.1.2.

P3.1.4.7 FLYING START (ID 1590)

Flying start can be configured by setting the bits of flying start options parameter. The
adjustable bits include disabling of DC pulses and AC scanning, search direction determination
and possibility to use frequency reference as a starting point for searching the shaft rotational
frequency.
The search direction is determined by B0. When the bit is set to 0, the shaft frequency is
searched from both the positive and negative directions. By setting the bit to 1, the search is
limited to the frequency reference direction only to avoid any shaft movement for the other
direction.
The main goal of AC scanning is to premagnetise the motor. The AC scanning is performed by
sweeping frequency from maximum toward zero frequency. The scanning is stopped provided
an adaptation to the shaft frequency occurs. The AC scanning can be disabled by setting B1 to
1. When the motor type is selected as permanent magnet motor, the AC scanning is removed
automatically.
The bit B5 is for disabling the DC pulses. The main purpose of DC pulses is also to
premagnetise and detect rotating motor. If both the DC pulses and AC scanning have been
enabled, the applied method is internally chosen depending on the slip frequency. The DC
pulses are also internally disabled provided the slip frequency is less than 2Hz or the motor
type is selected as permanent magnet motor.

P3.1.4.9 START BOOST (ID 109)

Start boost can be used in situations, where the starting torque is high.
The voltage to the motor changes proportionally to required torque, which makes the motor
produce more torque at start.

8.1.1 I/F start function

The I/f Start function is typically used with permanent magnet motors (PM) to start the motor
with constant current control. This is useful with high power motors, in which the resistance is
low and the tuning of the U/f curve difficult.
Applying the I/f Start function may also prove useful in providing sufficient torque for the motor
at startup.

P3.1.4.12 I/F START (ID 534)

If the function is activated, the drive is set to current control mode and a constant current
defined by P3.1.4.11.3 is fed to the motor until the drive output frequency exceeds the level

8.2 Start/Stop setup

Start/Stop commands are given differently depending on the control place.
Remote control place (I/O A): Start, stop and reverse commands are controlled by 2 digital
inputs chosen with parameters P3.5.1.1 Control signal 1 A, P3.5.1.2 Control signal 2 A and
P3.5.1.3 Control signal 3 A. The functionality/logic for these inputs is then selected with
parameter P3.2.6 I/O A Logic (in this group).
Remote control place (I/O B): Start, stop and reverse commands are controlled by 2 digital
inputs chosen with parameters P3.5.1.3 Control signal 3 A , P3.5.1.4 Control signal 1 B and
P3.5.1.5 Control signal 2 B. The functionality/logic for these inputs is then selected with
parameter P3.2.7 I/O B Logic (in this group).
Local control place (Keypad): Start and stop commands come from the keypad buttons, while
the direction of rotation is selected by the parameter P3.3.1.9.
Remote control place (Fieldbus): Start, stop and reverse commands come from fieldbus.

8.3.3 Motor potentiometer parameters

With a motor potentiometer function, the user can increase and decrease the output
frequency. By connecting a digital input to parameter P3.3.4.1 (Motor potentiometer UP) and
having the digital input signal active, the output frequency will rise as long as the signal is
active. The parameter P3.3.4.2 (Motor potentiometer DOWN) works vice versa, decreasing the
output frequency.
The rate how the output frequency either rises or falls when Motor Potentiometer Up or Down
is activated is determined by the Motor potentiometer ramp time (P3.3.4.3)
The Motor potentiometer reset parameter (P3.3.4.4) is used to choose whether to reset (set to
MinFreq) the Motor Potentiometer frequency reference when stopped or when powered down.
Motor potentiometer frequency reference is available in all control places in menu Group 3.3:
References. The motor potentiometer reference can be changed only when the drive is in run
state.

P3.3.4.1 MOTOR POTENTIOMETER UP (ID 418)

P3.3.4.2 MOTOR POTENTIOMETER DOWN (ID 417)

With a motor potentiometer, the user can increase and decrease the output frequency. By
connecting a digital input to parameter P3.3.4.1 (Motor potentiometer UP)and having the digital
input signal active, the output frequency will rise as long as the signal is active. The parameter
P3.3.4.2 (Motor potentiometer DOWN)works vice versa, decreasing the output frequency.
The rate how the output frequency either rises or falls when Motor Potentiometer Up or Down
is activated is determined by the Motor potentiometer ramp time (P3.3.4.3) and the Ramp
acceleration/deceleration times(P3.4.1.2/P3.4.1.3).
The Motor potentiometer reset parameter (P3.3.4.4) will set the frequency reference to zero, if
activated.

8.3.4 Flushing parameters

The Flushing function is used for a momentary overriding of normal control. The function can
be used for e.g. flushing the pipeline.
The Flushing function will start the drive at a selected reference without an additional start
command regardless of the control place.

P3.3.6.1 FLUSHING REFERENCE ACTIVATION (ID 530)

The parameter defines the digital input signal, which is used to select the frequency reference
for Flushing function and force the drive to start.
The flushing frequency reference is bidirectional and the reverse command does not affect the
direction of the flushing reference.
NOTE! Activation of the digital input will start the drive.

P3.3.6.2 FLUSHING REFERENCE (ID 1239)

The parameter defines the frequency reference for Flushing function. Reference is
bidirectional and the reverse command does not affect the direction of the flushing reference.
Reference for forward direction is defined as a positive value and reverse direction as a
negative value.

P3.4.1.1 RAMP 1 SHAPE (ID 500)

P3.4.2.1 RAMP 2 SHAPE (ID 501)

The start and end of acceleration and deceleration ramps can be smoothed with these
parameters. Setting the value to 0.0% gives a linear ramp shape, which causes acceleration
and deceleration to act immediately to the changes in the reference signal.
Setting the value to 1.0…100.0% for this parameter produces an S-shaped acceleration/
deceleration. This function is typically used to reduce mechanical erosion and current spikes
when the reference is changed.

The parameter defines the output frequency limit, above which the second ramp times and
ramp shapes are used.
The function can be used e.g. in deep well pump applications, where faster ramp times are
needed when the pump is starting or stopping (running below the minimum frequency).
Second ramp times are activated when the drive output frequency exceeds the limit defined by
this parameter. The function is disabled when the value of the parameter is set to zero.

P3.4.5.1 FLUX BRAKING (ID 520)

Instead of DC braking, flux braking is a useful way to raise the braking capacity in cases where
additional brake resistors are not needed.
When braking is needed, the frequency is reduced and the flux in the motor is increased, which
in turn increases the motor's capability to brake. Unlike DC braking, the motor speed remains
controlled during braking.
The flux braking can be set ON or OFF.
NOTE! Flux braking converts the energy into heat in the motor, and should be used
intermittently to avoid motor damage.

Given the standard I/O board compilation on the Vacon® 100 AC drive, there are two analogue
inputs available (Slot A terminals 2/3 and 4/5). In the programming view, these inputs are
referred to as follows:
Table 122. Programming analogue inputs

board in Slot A (standard I/O board).
AnIN AI A. 2 Analogue input #2 (terminals 4/5) on
board in Slot A (standard I/O board).

In the example 64, the parameter AI1 signal selection located in menu M3.5.2.1 with
parameter code P3.5.2.1.1, is by default given the value AnIN SlotA.1 (graphical keypad) or AI
A.1 (text keypad). This means that the target input for the analogue frequency reference signal
AI1 is now the analogue input in terminals 2/3. Whether the signal is voltage or current, must
be determined with the dip switches. See the Installation manual for more information.

8.7 Supervisions

P3.9.1.2 RESPONSE TO EXTERNAL FAULT (ID 701)

An alarm message or a fault action and message is generated by an external fault external
fault signal in one of the programmable digital inputs (DI3 by default) using parameters
P3.5.1.11 and P3.5.1.12. The information can also be programmed into any of the relay outputs.

8.7.1 Motor thermal protections

The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The AC drive is capable
of supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load requires this high current,
there is a risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded. This is the case especially at low
frequencies. At low frequencies the cooling effect of the motor is reduced as well as its
capacity. If the motor is equipped with an external fan the load reduction at low speeds is small.
The motor thermal protection is based on a calculated model and it uses the output current of
the drive to determine the load on the motor.
The motor thermal protection can be adjusted with parameters, which are presented below.
The thermal stage of the motor can be monitored on the control keypad display. See chapter 2
User interfaces on Vacon®100 FLOW .
NOTE! If you use long motor cables (max. 100m) together with small drives (£1.5 kW), the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor current due to
capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up the motor thermal
protection functions.

CAUTION! The calculated model does not protect the motor, if the airflow
to the motor is reduced by a blocked air-intake grill. The model starts from
13006.emf
zero, if the control board is powered off.

P3.9.2.3 ZERO SPEED COOLING FACTOR (ID 706)

Defines the cooling factor at zero speed in relation to the point, where the motor is running at
nominal speed without external cooling. See Figure 74. below.
The default value is set assuming that there is no external fan cooling the motor. If an external
fan is used, this parameter can be set to 90% (or even higher).
If you change the parameter P3.1.1.4 (Motor nominal current), this parameter is automatically
restored to the default value.
Setting this parameter does not affect the maximum output current of the drive, which is
determined by parameter P3.1.3.1 alone.
The corner frequency for the thermal protection is 70% of the motor nominal frequency
(P3.1.1.2).

P3.9.2.4 MOTOR THERMAL TIME CONSTANT (ID 707)

This is the thermal time constant of the motor. The bigger the motor, the bigger the time
constant. The time constant is the time, within which the calculated thermal stage has reached
63% of its final value.
The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between different motor
manufacturers. The default value of the parameter varies from size to size.
If the motor's t6-time (t6 is the time in seconds the motor can safely operate at six times the
rated current) is known (given by the motor manufacturer), the time constant parameter can
be set basing on it. As a rule of thumb, the motor thermal time constant in minutes equals to
2*t6. If the drive is in stop stage, the time constant is internally increased to three times the set
parameter value. The cooling in stop stage is based on convection and the time constant is
increased.

8.7.2 Motor stall protection

The motor stall protection protects the motor from short time overload situations such as one
caused by a stalled shaft. The reaction time of the stall protection can be set shorter than that
of motor thermal protection. The stall state is defined with two parameters, P3.9.3.2 (Stall
current) and P3.9.3.4 (Stall frequency limit). If the current is higher than the set limit and the
output frequency is lower than the set limit the stall state is true. There is actually no real
indication of the shaft rotation. Stall protection is a type of overcurrent protection.
NOTE! If you use long motor cables (max. 100m) together with small drives (£1.5 kW), the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor current due to
capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up the stall protection
functions.

P3.9.3.2 STALL CURRENT (ID 710)

The current can be set to 0.0…2*IL. For a stall stage to occur, the current must have exceeded
this limit. If parameter P3.1.3.1 Motor current limit is changed, this parameter is
automatically calculated to 90% of the current limit.
NOTE! In order to guarantee desired operation, this limit must be set below the current limit.

P3.9.3.3 STALL TIME LIMIT (ID 711)

This time can be set between 1.0 and 120.0 s.
This is the maximum time allowed for a stall stage. The stall time is counted by an internal up/
down counter.
If the stall time counter value goes above this limit the protection will cause a trip (see
P3.9.3.1).

8.7.3 underload (dry pump) protection

The purpose of the motor underload protection is to make sure that there is load on the motor
when the drive is running. If the motor loses its load there might be a problem in the process,
e.g. a broken belt or a dry pump.
Motor underload protection can be adjusted by setting the underload curve with parameters
P3.9.4.2 (Underload protection: Field weakening area load) and P3.9.4.3 (Zero frequency
load). The underload curve is a squared curve set between the zero frequency and the field
weakening point. The protection is not active below 5Hz (the underload time counter is
stopped).
The torque values for setting the underload curve are set in percentage which refers to the
nominal torque of the motor. The motor's name plate data, parameter motor nominal current
and the drive's nominal current IH are used to find the scaling ratio for the internal torque
value. If other than nominal motor is used with the drive, the accuracy of the torque calculation
decreases.
NOTE! If you use long motor cables (max. 100m) together with small drives (≤ 1.5 kW), the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor current due to
capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up the stall protection
functions.

P3.9.4.2 UNDERLOAD PROTECTION: FIELD WEAKENING AREA LOAD (ID 714)

The torque limit can be set between 10.0-150.0 % x TnMotor.
This parameter gives the value for the minimum torque allowed when the output frequency is
above the field weakening point.
If you change parameter P3.1.1.4 (Motor nominal current) this parameter is automatically
restored to the default value.

P3.9.4.4 UNDERLOAD PROTECTION: TIME LIMIT (ID 716)

This time can be set between 2.0 and 600.0 s.
This is the maximum time allowed for an underload state to exist. An internal up/down counter
counts the accumulated underload time. If the underload counter value goes above this limit,
the protection will cause a trip according to parameter P3.9.4.1). If the drive is stopped the
underload counter is reset to zero. See Figure 79. below.

separately defined method when the Quick stop is activated. An alarm or fault response can
also be set to leave a mark that a quick stop has been requested in the fault history, if a reset
is required for restart.
NOTE! Quick stop is not an emergency stop or safety function! It is advised that an emergency
stop physically cuts the power supply to the motor.

8.9 Timer functions

The time functions (Time Channels) in the Vacon® 100 give you the possibility to program
functions to be controlled by the internal RTC (Real Time Clock). Practically every function that
can be controlled by a digital input can also be controlled by a Time Channel. Instead of having
an external PLC controlling a digital input you can programme the "closed" and "opened"
intervals of the input internally.
NOTE! The functions of this parameter group can be made the fullest advantage of only if the
battery (option) has been installed and the Real Time Clock settings have been properly made
during the Startup Wizard (see 2 and page 3). It is not recommended to use these function
without battery backup because the drive’s time and date settings will be reset at every power
down, if no battery for the RTC is installed.
Time channels
The on/off logic for the Time channels is configured by assigning Intervals and/or Timers to
them. One Time channel can be controlled by many Intervals or Timers by assigning as many
of these as needed to the Time channel.

Figure 82. The intervals and timers can be assigned to time channels in a flexible way.

Intervals
Every interval is given an "ON Time" and "OFF Time" with parameters. This is the daily time
that the interval will be active during the days set with "From Day" and “To Day” parameters.
E.g. the parameter setting below means that the interval is active from 7 am to 9 am every
weekday (Monday to Friday). The Time Channel to which this Interval is assigned will be seen
as a closed "virtual digital input" during that period.
ON Time: 07:00:00
OFF Time: 09:00:00

Timers
Timers can be used to set the active Time Channel during a certain time by a command from a
digital input (or a Time Channel).
The below parameters will set the Timer active when Digital Input 1 on Slot A is closed and
keep it active for 30 s after it is opened.
Duration: 30 s
Timer: DigIn SlotA.1
Tip! A duration of 0 seconds can be used for simply overriding a Time channel activated from
a digital input without any off delay after the falling edge.

8.10.1 Feedforward

P3.13.4.1 FEEDFORWARD FUNCTION (ID 1059)

Feedforward usually needs accurate process models, but in some simple cases a gain + offset
type of feedforward is enough. The feedforward part does not use any feedback measurements
of the actual controlled process value (water level in the example 1 below). Vacon feedforward
control uses other measurements which are indirectly affecting the controlled process value.
Example 1:
Controlling the water level of a tank by means of flow control. The desired water level has been
defined as a setpoint and the actual level as feedback. The control signal acts on the incoming
flow.
The outflow could be thought of as a disturbance that can be measured. Based on the
measurements of the disturbance, we can try to compensate for this disturbance by simple
feedforward control (gain and offset) which is added to the PID output.
This way the controller would react much faster to changes in the outflow than if you just had
measured the level.

on, but run request is turned off. When the actual value goes below or above the wake-up level
depending on acting mode, the drive will activate run request again, if the start command is
still on. Hence the drive wakes up.

remains on, but the run request is turned off. When the actual value goes below or above the
wake-up level depending on the set acting mode, the drive will activate the run request again,
if the start command is still on.

P3.13.5.9 SP2 SLEEP BOOST (ID 1794)
Automatic increase of PID regulation setpoint before entering sleep state allows to build a
higher process value and therefore maintain the sleep state longer, even with some moderate
leakage.
Boost level is applied after the usual conditions to enter sleep state (frequency threshold and
delay) are positively verified. After the increment in Setpoint has been reached by Actual, boost
increment on Setpoint is cleared and the drive enters sleep state, stopping the motor.
The boost increment will be positive with direct PID regulation (P3.13.1.8 = Normal), and
negative with reverse PID regulation (P3.13.1.8 =Inverted).

If the actual value does not reach the incremented setpoint, the boost value is anyway cleared
after the time set with P3.13.5.5. In this case the drive returns to normal regulation with normal
setpoint.

In a Multipump setup: if during boosting an auxiliary pump is started, boosting sequence is

aborted and normal regulation is resumed.

When pressurising a long pipe with many outlets, the best place for the sensor would probably
be halfway down the pipe (Position 2). However, sensors might, for example, be placed directly
after the pump. This will give the right pressure directly after the pump, but farther down in

Soft Fill function is used to bring the process to a certain level at slow speed before the PID
Controller start to control. This function can be used e.g. to fill the empty pipe line slowly,
avoiding "water hammers" that could otherwise break the pipes.
It is recommended to use Soft Fill function always when using Multi Pump functionality.

P3.13.8.1 SOFT FILL FUNCTION (ID 1094)

The parameter defines the operation mode of Soft Fill function.
Using Soft Fill function in the Multipump system is recommended to avoid the "water
hammers" that could break the pipe.

0 = Disabled
Soft Fill function is disabled and not used.

1 = Enabled (Level)
Soft Fill function is enabled. When the drive is started, the drive runs at a constant frequency
(P3.13.8.2 Soft Fill Frequency) until the PID feedback signal reaches the soft fill level (P3.13.8.3
Soft Fill Level). When soft fill level is reached, PID controller starts to regulate.
In addition, if the soft fill level is not reached within the soft fill timeout (P3.13.8.4 Soft Fill
Timeout), a soft fill fault is generated (if P3.13.8.4 Soft Fill Timeout is set to greater than zero).
The soft fill mode is typically used in vertical installations.

2 = Enabled (Timeout)
Soft Fill function is enabled. When the drive is started, the drive runs at a constant frequency
(P3.13.8.2 Soft Fill Frequency) until the soft fill time (P3.13.8.4 Soft Fill Timeout) has elapsed.
After the soft filling time, PID controller starts to regulate.
In this mode, soft fill fault is not available.
This soft fill mode is typically used in horizontal installations.

8.10.6 Sleep - no demand detection function

Setpoint is reached and frequency reference is steady within a parametric range band, which
is right above the sleep frequency threshold. A temporary bias is added to Actual value. If
demand is absent, this will bring the output frequency below the sleep frequency threshold. If
Actual value remains stable, the drive will be forced to sleep. See Figure 92. below.
Specifically, if Error (Setpoint-Actual) is within a given hysteresis band across zero:
SNDD error hysteresis <= Error <= SNDD error hysteresis
and the following relation holds true for the amount of time defined by SNDD supervision time:
Max[Output Frequency(t)] - Min[Output Frequency(t)] < SNDD freq hyst

A temporary bias value is added to Actual value. If Output frequency falls below Sleep
frequency threshold for the required amount of time while Error remains within the band, the
drive enters sleep mode and Actual value bias is removed.
If any of the following conditions occur:

8.10.7 Input pressure supervision

The Input pressure supervision function is used to supervise that there is enough water in the
inlet of the pump, to prevent the pump from sucking air or causing suction cavitation. This
function requires a pressure sensor to be installed on the pump inlet, see Figure 93.
If the pump inlet pressure falls below the defined alarm limit, an alarm will be triggered and
the pump output pressure reduced by decreasing the PID controller setpoint value. If the inlet
pressure still keeps falling below the fault limit, the pump is stopped and a fault will be
triggered.

8.11 Multipump function

Multipump function is designed for controlling a system where up to 8 motors (e.g. pumps,
fans or compressors) are operating in parallel. The internal PID controller of the drive
regulates the system by running a necessary number of motors and controlling the speed of
the motor(s) depending on the demand.

8.11.1 Multipump (multidrive) commissioning checklist

The following check list will assist you in configuring the basic settings of the Multipump
(Multidrive) system. If you are using keypad for parametrisation, application wizard will also
assist you through these basic settings.
Start the commissioning with the drives, which have PID feedback signal (e.g. pressure sensor)
connected to an analogue input (default: AI2). Go through all the drives in the system.

Check the wirings.

• Power cabling (mains cable, motor cable): See the drive installation
manual.
• Control cabling (I/O, PID Feedback sensor, Communication): See the
wiring diagramme in chapter 1.5.4.2 and the default I/O connections in
1 chapter 1.5.4.1.
• Make sure that the start command is connected to all drives in the
system (by default, DI1).
• If redundancy is needed, make sure that PID Feedback signal (by
default: AI2) is wired at least to two drives. See the wiring instructions
in chapter 1.5.4.2.
Power up the drive and start parametrisation.
• Start parametrisation with the drives, which have PID Feedback
2 signal connected. These drives are meant to operate as 'leading drive'
(master of the Multipump system).
• Parametrisation can be done e.g. with keypad or PC tool.
Select 'Multipump (Multidrive)' application configuration with
parameter P1.2.
• Most of the Multipump-related settings and configurations are
made automatically, when 'Multi-Pump(Multidrive)' application is
3 selected with parameter P1.2 Application (ID 212). See ch. 1.4.4.
• If you are using the keypad for parametrisation, the application
wizard will be started when parameter P1.2 Application (ID 212) is
changed. The Application wizard will assist you through the most
common Multipump-related questions.
Set motor parameters.
4 • Set motor nameplate parameters according to the rating plate of the
motor.

• By default, the Multipump system is configured for 3 pumps (drives).
Select drive operation mode in Multipump system
• Go to parameter P1.35.13 (Quick setup parameter menu).
• The same parameter can be found from menu Parameters -> Group

• Select 'Leading Drive', if a PID feedback -signal (e.g. pressure
sensor) is connected to this drive.
• Select 'Auxiliary Drive', if the PID feedback signal is not available.
Set pump ID number.
• Go to parameter P1.35.12 (Quick setup parameter menu).
• The same parameter can be found from menu Parameters -> Group
3.15 -> P3.15.3
• Each drive in the Multipump system must have a unique ID number.
7 ID numbers have to be in numerical order, starting from number 1.
• Same ID number must not be used for several drives. Otherwise, the
communication between drives will not work properly.
• Drives, which have a PID feedback signal connected, are typically
having the smallest ID numbers (e.g. ID 1 and ID 2) to provide the
shortest possible start-up delay when powering up the system.
Configure the Interlocking function.
• Go to parameter P1.35.14 (Quick setup parameter menu).
• The same parameter can be found from menu Parameters -> Group
3.15 -> P3.15.5

8 • By default, the interlocking function is enabled.

• Select 'Enabled', if the interlocking signal is connected to the drive’s
digital input DI5 (Interlocking signal = digital input signal telling if this
pump is available in the Multipump system or not).
• Otherwise, select 'Not Used'. Then the system assumes that all
pumps in the Multipump system are available.
Check the source of PID Setpoint signal
• By default, PID setpoint value is taken from the analogue input AI1.
9 • If constant setpoint value is needed (e.g. always 5 bar), set
parameter P1.35.5 Setpoint 1 Source to 'Keypad SP1' and enter the
constant setpoint value to parameter P1.35.6 Keypad SP1.

Now, the basic settings of Multipump system are configured. Same check list can be used
when configuring the next drives in the system.

8.11.2 System configuration

Multipump function has two different configurations, depending on the how many drives are
included in the system:

Single drive configuration

Single Drive mode is designed to control a system of one variable speed pump and up to 7
auxiliary pumps. The internal PID controller of the drive controls the speed of one pump and
gives control signals (via relay outputs) to start/stop the auxiliary pumps. External contactors
are needed to switch the auxiliary pumps to supply mains.

P3.15.1 MULTIPUMP MODE (ID 1785)

The parameter defines the configuration and operation mode of Multipump system.

0 = Single drive
Single drive mode is designed to control a system of one variable speed pump and up to 7
auxiliary pumps. The internal PID controller of the drive controls the speed of one pump and
gives control signals (via relay outputs) to start/stop the auxiliary pumps. External contactors
are needed to switch the auxiliary pumps to supply mains.

One of the pumps is connected to the drive. This pump operates as a regulating pump. When
the regulating pump notices a demand for more capacity (running at maximum frequency),
but cannot produce this by itself, it requests the next auxiliary pump to start via relay output
signal. When the auxiliary pump is started, the regulating pump continues regulating, starting
from minimum frequency.

When the regulating pump notices that there is too much capacity (running at minimum
frequency), it requests the recently started auxiliary pump to stop. If there are no auxiliary
pumps running when the regulating pump notices overcapacity, it will go into Sleep mode (if
Sleep function is enabled).

1 = Multifollower
Multifollower mode is designed to control a system of up to 8 variable speed pumps. Each
pump is controlled by its own drive. The internal PID controller of the drive regulates all
pumps.
One of the pumps operates always as a regulating pump. When the regulating pump notices a
demand for more capacity (running at maximum frequency), but cannot produce this by itself,
it requests the next pump to start via communication bus. Next pump accelerates and starts
to run at the speed as the regulating pump. In other words, auxiliary pumps follow the speed
of the regulating pump.

1 = Multimaster
Multimaster mode is designed to control a system of up to 8 variable speed pumps. Each
pump is controlled by its own drive. The internal PID controller of the drive regulates the
pumps.
One of the pumps operates always as a regulating pump. When the regulating pump notices a
demand for more capacity (running at maximum frequency), but cannot produce this by itself,
it locks itself at a constant producing speed and requests the next pump to start and start to
regulate.
When the regulating pump notices that there is too much capacity (running at minimum
frequency), it stops itself and the pump running at a constant producing speed starts to
regulate.
If there are several pumps running at a constant producing speed, the recently started pump
starts to regulate. If there are no pumps running at constant producing speed when the
regulating pump notices overcapacity, it will go into Sleep mode (if Sleep function is enabled).

P3.15.2 NUMBER OF PUMPS (ID 1001)

Defines the total number of pumps in the installation. The maximum number of pumps in
Multipump system is 8.
This parameter is set by the installation. If you take e.g. one drive out (for pump service), this
parameter does not have to be changed.
NOTE! In Multifollower and Multimaster modes, all drives must have the same value in this
parameter. Otherwise the communication between drives will not work properly.

P3.15.3 PUMP ID NUMBER (ID 1500)

The parameter is used only in Multifollower and Multimaster modes.
Each drive (pump) in the installation must be given a unique number. First drive in the system
should always have the ID number 1 and the numbers of the drives have to be in numerical
order.
Pump number 1 is always the primary master of the Multipump system. Drive number 1 is
controlling the process and running the PID controller. This means that PID Feedback and PID
Setpoint -signals have to be connected to drive number 1.
If the drive number 1 is not available in the system (e.g. drive is powered down or not able to
communicate with other drives), the next drive will start to operate as a secondary master of
the Multipump system.
NOTE! The communication between drives will not work properly if:
• Pump ID numbers are not in numerical order (starting from 1) or,
• Two drives have the same ID number.

P3.15.4 DRIVE OPERATION MODE (ID 1782)

The parameter is used only, if 'Multifollower' or 'Multimaster' modes are selected with
parameter P3.15.1.
The parameter defines whether this drive is able to operate as a master unit of the Multipump
system. At least one of the drives in Multipump system have to be configured as the master
drive (Leading Drive). Typically, drive number 1 is configured as Leading Drive for ensuring the
shortest possible start-up delay for the system in power-up situation.
0 = Auxiliary drive
The drive is able to operate as a slave unit in Multipump system, meaning that e.g. PID
feedback or setpoint signals are not connected to this drive. This drive just fulfills the
commands (start command and frequency reference) received from the master drive.
1 = Leading drive
The drive is able to operate as a master drive in Multipump system, meaning that the drive’s
PID controller is configured (parameterised) and PID feedback and setpoint signals are
connected to this drive. When operating as 'Leading Drive', this drive regulates the process and
gives start commands and frequency references to the other drives in the system.
Redundancy
If redundancy is needed in Multipump (Multidrive) system, several drives can be configured to
'Leading Drive' mode (parameter P3.15.4). This means that if the actual leading drive gets
faulted so that it is not able to communicate with the other drives anymore (e.g. power-loss),
the next drive (which is configured to 'Leading Drive' -mode) starts to operate as the leading
drive after a delay.
NOTE! This requires also that e.g. PID feedback signal is connected to all drives, which are
configured to 'Leading Drive' mode.

8.11.3 Interlocks
Interlock function can be used to tell Multipump system by digital input signals, which pumps
are available in the system, and which are not. Multipump system controls only the pumps with
active interlock data.
This function can be used to tell the Multipump system e.g. if one of the pumps is removed from
the system for maintenance. Interlock signals typically come from motor switches.

P3.15.2 INTERLOCK FUNCTION (ID 1001)

Interlocks can be used to tell the Multi Pump system that a motor is not available e.g. because
of the motor is removed from the system for maintenance or bypassed for manual control.
Enable this function to use the interlocks. Choose the needed status for each motor by digital
inputs (parameters P3.5.1.34 to P3.5.1.37). If the input is closed (TRUE) the motor is available
for the Multi Pump system, otherwise it will not be connected by the Multi Pump logic.

8.11.4 Feedback sensor connection in a multidrive system

These parameters define the weekdays and the time of the day when the autochange (pump
starts to rearrange order) takes place. These parameters are used only if real time-based
autochange mode (2 / Enabled (Real Time)) is selected with parameter P3.15.5.
Autochange will take place when the following conditions are fulfilled:
• Multipump system is running (start command is active)
• The defined autochange weekday and the time of the day have been reached
• Regulating pump is running below the frequency defined by parameter P3.15.11.
• Number of the running pumps is less or equal to the limit defined with parameter
P3.15.12

P3.15.11 AUTOCHANGE FREQUENCY LIMIT (ID 1031)

P3.15.12 AUTOCHANGE PUMP LIMIT (ID 1030)

These parameters define the level below which the used capacity must remain so that
autochange can take place.
This level is defined as follows:
• If the number of running pumps in Multipump system is less or equal to the limit defined
by parameter P3.15.12 and the regulating pump is running below the frequency defined by
parameter P3.15.11, the autochange can take place.
NOTE! These parameters are needed mainly in Single drive mode, because an autochange
event may need to restart the whole system (depending on how many motors are currently
running).
In Multifollower and Multimaster modes it is recommended to set these parameters to their
maximum values to allow an autochange event immediately at the autochange time.
Multifollower and Multimaster modes are optimised to handle the autochange situation
discreetly, regardless of the number of pumps running.

Bandwidth area is defined as a percentage of PID setpoint. As long as the PID feedback value
stays inside the bandwidth area, there is no need to increase/decrease the number of running
pumps.
When feedback value goes outside the bandwidth area, the time defined by parameter P3.15.14
must elapse before the number of running pumps will be increased/decreased. The figure 90.

These parameters define the digital inputs of the drive, where the interlocking (feedback)
signals of pumps 2…8 are read.
NOTE! These parameters are used in Single Drive mode only.
If Pump Interlocking function (P3.15.5) is enabled, the drive will read the status of Pump
Interlock (feedback) digital inputs. If the input is closed (TRUE), the motor is available for the
Multipump system, otherwise it will not be included to Multipump system.
If Pump Interlocking -function (P3.15.5) is not used, the statuses of Pump Interlock (feedback)
digital inputs are not read and the Multipump system assumes that all pumps in the system
are available.

8.11.5 Overpressure supervision

The Overpressure supervision function is used for pressure supervision in Multipump system.
E.g. when the main valve of the pump system is rapidly closed, the pressure in the pipelines
will increase quickly. The pressure might even rise too fast for PID controller to react. The
Overpressure supervision is used to prevent the pipes from bursting by quickly stopping the
running of auxiliary motors in Multipump system.

P3.15.16.1 ENABLE OVERPRESSURE SUPERVISION (ID 1698)

If the Overpressure supervision is enabled and the PID feedback signal (pressure) exceeds the
supervision level defined by parameter P3.15.16.2, all auxiliary motors will be stopped in
Multipump system. Only the regulating motor keeps running normally. Once the pressure
decreases, the system will continue working normally, re-connecting the auxiliary motors one
by one. See Figure 107.
The Overpressure supervision function will monitor PID Controller feedback signal and stop all
auxiliary pumps immediately, if the signal exceeds the defined overpressure level.

8.11.6 Pump running time counters

In Multipump system, the running time of each pump is supervised by an individual run time
counter. E.g. the pump starting order is arranged based on the pump runtime counter values
for equalising the wear of all pumps in the system.
Pump runtime counters can also be used for indicating the operator that a pump requires
maintenance (see P3.15.19.4 - P3.15.19.5 below).
Pump runtime counters can be found from monitoring menu, see chapter 3.1.10.

P3.15.19.1 SET RUNTIME COUNTER (ID 1673)

When this button-type parameter is pressed, the runtime counter of the selected pump(s)
(P3.15.19.3) will be set to the defined value.

P3.15.19.2 SET RUNTIME COUNTER: VALUE (ID 1087)

The parameter defines the runtime counter value, which will be set to the runtime counter(s)
of the pump(s) selected with P3.15.19.3.
NOTE! In Multimaster and Multifollower modes, it is possible to reset (or set to desired value)
only "Pump (1) Running Time" counter. (In Multimaster and Multifollower modes, "Pump (1)
Running Time"monitoring value indicates the hours of the pump, which is connected to this
drive, regardless from the pump ID number).
Example:
In Multipump (Single drive) system, pump number 4 has been replaced with a totally new pump
and the "Pump 4 Running Time" counter value needs to be reset.
1. Select 'Pump' 4 with parameter P3.15.19.3.

8 = Pump 8
If Multifollower or Multimaster mode is selected, only the following selection is available:
1 = Pump (1)

NOTE! In Multimaster and Multifollower modes, it is possible to reset (or set to desired value)
only the "Pump (1) Running Time" counter. (In Multimaster and Multifollower modes, "Pump
(1) Running Time" monitoring value indicates the hours of the pump, which is connected to this
drive, regardless of the pump ID number).
Example:
In Multipump (Single drive) system, pump number 4 has been replaced with a totally new pump
and the "Pump 4 Running Time" counter value needs to be reset.
1. Select 'Pump' 4 by parameter P3.15.19.3.
2. Set parameter P3.15.19.2 value to '0 h'.
3. Press button-type parameter P3.15.19.

P3.15.19.4 RUNTIME ALARM LIMIT (ID 1109)

P3.15.19.5 RUNTIME FAULT LIMIT (ID 1110)

Pump runtime counters can also be used for indicating the operator that pump maintenance
needs to be carried out. When pump run time counter value exceeds the defined limit, an alarm
or fault will be triggered respectively. When the maintenance has been carried out, the runtime
counter can be reset (or forced to desired value).

NOTE!
• In Multipump (Single drive) mode, alarm and fault limits are common for all pumps. An
alarm or fault will be triggrered, if any of the individual runtime counters (Pump
1…Pump 8) exceeds the limit value.
• In Multimaster and Multifollower modes, each drive monitors only its own pump
running time ('Pump (1) Running Time'). This means that alarm and fault limits have to
be activated and configured individually for each drive.

8.12 Maintenance counters

The maintenance counter is a way of indicating the operator that maintenance needs to be
carried out. For example, a belt needs to be replaced or oil in a gearbox should be changed.
There are two different modes for the maintenance counters, hours or revolutions*1000. The
counters are only incremented during Run mode in either case.
NOTE! Revolutions are based on motor speed, which is only an estimate (integration every
second).
When the counter exceeds the limit, an alarm or fault will be triggered respectively. Individual
maintenance alarm and fault signals can be connected to a digital/relay output.
When maintenance has been carried out, the counter can be reset through either a digital input
or a parameter B3.16.4.

9. FAULT TRACING
When an unusual operating condition is detected by the AC drive control diagnostics, the drive
initiates a notification visible, for example, on the keypad. The keypad will show the code, the
name and a short description of the fault or alarm.
The notifications vary in consequence and required action. Faults make the drive stop and
require reset of the drive. Alarms inform of unusual operating conditions and require
resetting, but the drive will continue running. Infos require resetting but do not affect the functioning
of the drive.
For some faults you can programme different responses in the application. See parameter
group Protections.
The fault can be reset with the Reset button on the control keypad or through the I/O terminal,
fieldbus or PC tool. The faults are stored in the Fault history menu which can be browsed. The
different fault codes you will find in the table below.
NOTE! When contacting distributor or factory because of a fault condition, always write down
all texts on the display, the fault code, the fault ID, the source info, the Active Fault list and the
Fault History.
Source info tells the user the origin of the fault, what caused it, where it happened, and other
detailed information

9.1 Fault appears

When a fault appears and the drive stops examine the cause of fault, perform the actions
advised here and reset the fault either
10. with a long (2 s) press on the Reset button on the keypad or
11. by entering the Diagnostics Menu (M4), entering Reset faults (M4.2) and selecting Reset
