Installation

Mounting

Nema 4X cased drives come with 0.88 inch (22 mm) conduit
knockout holes at the bottom of the case. The units may be
vertically wall mounted using the four 0.19 inch (5 mm) slotted
holes on the attached heat sink. For motor loads less than 5 ADC,
the drive may be bench mounted horizontally, or operated without
mounting.

1. Install the mounting screws through the drive’s four mounting


slots.

2. For access to the terminal strip, turn the slotted screw on the
front cover counterclockwise until it is free from the case. The
right side of the cover is hinged to the case. Pull the slotted
screw to open the case.

3. Carefully remove the 0.88 inch (22 mm) conduit knockouts by


tapping them into the case and twisting them off with pliers.

4. Install conduit hardware through the knockout holes. Connect


external wiring to the terminal block.
8 Installation

5. Grasp the slotted screw and tilt the front cover back into place.
Avoid pinching any wires between the front cover and the case.

6. Turn the slotted screw clockwise until tight to secure the front
cover.

7. Set the POWER switch to the OFF position before applying the
AC line voltage.
Installation 9

Connections

Minarik drives supply motor voltage to terminals A1 and A2 (A1 is


positive with respect to A2). It is assumed throughout this manual
that the driven motor will rotate clockwise (CW) while looking at the
output shaft protruding from the front of the motor. If the opposite is
desired, simply reverse the wiring of A1 and A2 with each other.

Shielding guidelines

 WarningUnder no circumstances should power and logic leads be


bundled together. Induced voltage can cause unpredictable
behavior in any electronic device, including motor controls.

As a general rule, Minarik recommends shielding of all conductors.

If it is not practical to shield power conductors, Minarik


recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding is not
practical, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to
minimize induced noise.

It may be necessary to earth ground the shielded cable. If noise is


produced by devices other than the drive, ground the shield at the
drive end. If noise is generated by a device on the drive, ground
the shield at the end away from the drive. Do not ground both ends
of the shield.

If the drive continues to pick up noise after grounding the shield, it


may be necessary to add AC line filtering devices, or to mount the
drive in a less noisy environment.

Logic wires from other input devices, such as motion controllers


and PLL velocity controllers, must be separated from power lines in
the same manner as the logic I/O on this drive.
Installation 13

Field Output
The field output is for shunt wound motors only. Do not make any
connections to the field output when using a permanent magnet
motor. Table 1 shows where to connect the field leads of a shunt
wound motor.

motor.
14 Installation

Fusing
C4XL3025: This drive comes with two 8A fuses installed
(FU501 & FU502). FU501 connects with the L1 terminal (the hot
leg of the AC line voltage). FU502 connects with the 230 terminal.
If the current rating of the motor is less than the maximum current
rating of the drive, replace the fuse with a lower rated one. Rate
fuses at 150% times the maximum armature current.

C4XL3200A: This drive comes with two 15A fuses installed


(FU501 & FU502). FU501 connects with the L1 terminal (the hot
leg of the AC line voltage). FU502 connects with the 230 terminal.
If the current rating of the motor is less than the maximum current
rating of the drive, replace the fuse with a lower rated one. Rate
fuses at 150% times the maximum armature current.
Installation 15

Line Fusing for XL Series Drives


Minarik drives require an external fuse for protection. Use fast
acting fuses rated for 250 VAC or higher, and approximately 150%
of the maximum armature current. Fuse both L1 and L2 when the
line voltage is 230 VAC. Fuse blocks are included on cased drives
only. The fuse chart below lists the recommended line fuse sizes.

Minarik Corporation offers a 63 mA pico fuse for the C4XL3025


(part number 050-0081) which protects the transformer and logic.
16 Installation

Voltage Follower
Instead of using a speed adjust potentiometer, the drive may be
wired to follow a 0 - 10 VDC voltage signal that is isolated from
earth ground (Figure 6). Connect the signal input (+) to S1.
Connect the signal common (-) to S2. Make no connection to S3.
A potentiometer can be used to scale the analog input voltage. To
achieve greater linearity and control, use an interface device such
as Minarik model PCM4 to scale the analog input voltage.

Refer to the Specifications section on page 1 for the analog input


voltage range of the XL drive you are using.

Installation 17

Terminal Block
All XL drives use a cage-clamp spring terminal block. To open the
clamp spring, use a small screwdriver to press down on the lever
above the terminal block. To insert a wire into a terminal, use the
following procedure:

1 Press down on the lever arm


using a small screwdriver.

2 Insert wire into the wire clamp.

3 Release the lever arm to clamp


the wire.

Operation
Before applying power:

1. Verify that no conductive material is present on the printed


circuit board.
2. Set both voltage selection switches (SW501 and SW502) to
either 115 or 230 VAC to match the AC line voltage being used.
(see Figure 8 below).

 WarningChange voltage selection switch settings only when the


drive is disconnected from the AC line voltage. Make sure
that both switches are set to the correct position. If the
switches are improperly set to a lower voltage position, the
motor will not run at full voltage. If the switches are
improperly set to a higher voltage position, the motor will
over speed, which may cause motor damage.

Startup

1. Set the speed adjust potentiometer to zero (full CCW).


2. Apply AC line voltage.
3. Set the POWER switch to the ON position.
4. Slowly advance the speed adjust potentiometer clockwise (CW).
The motor slowly accelerates as the potentiometer is turned
CW. Continue until the desired speed is reached.
5. Set the POWER switch to the OFF position to coast the motor
to a stop.

If the motor or drive does not perform as described, disconnect the


AC line voltage immediately. Refer to the Troubleshooting section
on page 36 for further assistance.

Diagnostic LEDs
XL series drives are equipped with diagnostic LEDs. The green
POWER ON LED turns on when power is applied to the drive and

Operation 21

Line starting and line stopping


Line starting and line stopping (applying and removing AC line
voltage) is recommended for infrequent starting and stopping of a
drive only. When AC line voltage is applied to the drive, the motor
accelerates to the speed set by the speed adjust potentiometer.
When AC line voltage is removed, the motor coasts to a stop.

Inhibit circuit

 Warning
The inhibit circuit is used for frequent starts and stops. It
must never be used as an emergency stop. The inhibit
circuit may not stop a drive that is malfunctioning.
Removing AC line power (both L1 and L2) is the only
acceptable method for emergency stopping.

Maintaining a connection between the inhibit pins causes the motor


to coast to zero speed. Removing the connection between the
inhibit pins allows the motor to accelerate the speed set by the
speed adjust potentiometer. See Figure 10 on Page 22.
22 Operation

Minarik Corporation offers two accessory plug harnesses for


connecting to the inhibit pins: part number 201-0024 [inhibit plug
with 18 in. (46 cm) leads]; and part number 201-0079 [inhibit plug
with 36 in. (91 cm) leads]. Twist these leads and separate them
from other power-carrying wires or sources of electrical noise. Use
shielded cable if the inhibit leads are longer than 18 in. (46 cm).

Decelerating to minimum speed


The circuit shown in Figure 11 may be used to decelerate a motor
to a minimum speed. Closing the switch between S1 and S2
decelerates the motor from set speed to a minimum speed
determined by the MIN SPD trimpot setting. If the MIN SPD trimpot
is set full CCW, the motor decelerates to zero speed when the
switch between S1 and S2 is closed. The DECEL trimpot setting
determines the rate at which the drive decelerates. By opening the
switch, the motor accelerates to set speed at a rate determined by
the ACCEL trimpot setting.

Operation 25

 Warning
Wait for the motor to come to a complete STOP before
switching back to the RUN position. This will prevent high
armature currents from damaging the motor or drive.

Size the dynamic brake resistor according to the motor current


rating (see Table 3). The dynamic brake resistance listed in the
table is the smallest recommended resistance allowed to prevent
possible demagnetization of the motor. The motor stops less rapidly
with higher brake resistor values.

2–3 ADC 5 ohm 5W
3–5 ADC 10 ohm 10W
5–10 ADC 20 ohm 20W
10–17 ADC 40 ohm 50W

For motors rated 1/17 horsepower and lower, a brake resistor is not
necessary since the armature resistance is high enough to stop the
motor without demagnetization. Replace the dynamic brake with 12
gauge wire.

Calibration

 WarningDangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered,


and up to 30 seconds after power is removed and the motor
stops. When possible, disconnect the voltage input from the
drive before adjusting the trimpots. If the trimpots must be
adjusted with power applied, use insulated tools and the
appropriate personal protection equipment. BE ALERT.
High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury.

Each drive is factory calibrated to its maximum current rating.


Readjust the calibration trimpot settings to accommodate lower
current rated motors.

All adjustments increase with CW rotation, and decrease with CCW


rotation. Use a non-metallic screwdriver for calibration. Each
trimpot is identified on the printed circuit board.
Calibration 27

MINIMUM SPEED (MIN SPD)


The MIN SPD setting determines the motor speed when the speed
adjust potentiometer is turned full CCW. It is factory set to zero
speed.

To calibrate, turn the speed adjust potentiometer full CCW. To set


the minimum speed to zero, rotate the MIN SPD trimpot CCW until
the motor has stopped. To set a minimum speed higher than zero,
rotate the MIN SPD trimpot CW until the motor is running at the
desired minimum speed.

MAXIMUM SPEED (MAX SPD)


The MAX SPD setting determines the motor speed when the speed
adjust potentiometer is turned full CW. It is factory set for maximum
rated speed.

To calibrate, set the MAX SPD trimpot full CCW. Turn the speed
adjust potentiometer full CW. Adjust the MAX SPD trimpot until the
desired maximum motor speed is reached.

Note: Check the MIN SPD and MAX SPD adjustments after
recalibrating to verify that the motor runs at the desired minimum
and maximum speed.
28 Calibration

ACCELERATION (ACCEL)
The ACCEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to
a higher speed. See Specifications on page 1 for approximate
acceleration times. The ACCEL setting is factory set to its
minimum value (full CCW).

Turn the ACCEL trimpot CW to increase the acceleration time, and


CCW to decrease the acceleration time.

DECELERATION (DECEL)
The DECEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to
a lower speed. See Specifications on page 1 for approximate
deceleration times. The DECEL setting is factory set to its
minimum value (full CCW).

Turn the DECEL trimpot CW to increase the deceleration time, and


CCW to decrease the deceleration time.
Calibration 29

IR COMPENSATION (IR COMP)


The IR COMP setting determines the degree to which motor speed
is held constant as the motor load changes. It is factory set for
optimum motor regulation.

Recalibrate the IR COMP setting when using a lower horsepower


motor. Refer to the recommended IR COMP settings in Figure 13
or 14 on Page 31, or recalibrate using the following procedure:

To calibrate IR COMP (exact calibration):

1. Set the speed adjust potentiometer until the motor runs at


midspeed
(for example, 900 RPM for an 1800 RPM motor).
2. Load the motor armature to its full load armature current rating.
The motor should slow down.
3. While keeping the load on the motor, rotate the IR COMP
trimpot until the motor runs at the speed measured in step 1.

Approximate calibration: If the motor does not maintain set speed


as the load changes, gradually rotate the IR COMP trimpot CW. If
the motor oscillates (overcompensation), the IR COMP trimpot may
be set too high (CW). Turn the IR COMP trimpot CCW to stabilize
the motor speed.
30 Calibration

CURRENT LIMIT (CURR LIMIT) C4XL3025 or


TORQUE LIMIT (TORQ LIMIT) C4XL3200A

 WarningAlthough TORQUE LIMIT is set to 120% of motor nameplate


current rating, continuous operation beyond that rating may
damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the
rating, contact your Minarik representative for assistance.

The CURR LIMIT or TORQ LIMIT setting determines the maximum


armature current output of the drive. It is factory set at 120% of
rated motor current. Recalibrate the CURR LIMIT or TORQ LIMIT
setting when using a lower horsepower motor. Refer to the
recommended trimpot settings on page 31, or recalibrate using the
following procedure:

1. With the power disconnected from the control, connect a DC


ammeter (0 - 15 A minimum scale) in series with the armature.
2. Set the CURR LIMIT or TORQ LIMIT trimpot to minimum (full
CCW).
3. Set the speed adjust potentiometer to maximum (full CW).
4. Lock the motor armature. Be sure that the motor is firmly
mounted.
5. Connect power to the drive. The motor should remain stopped.
6. Adjust the CURR LIMIT or TORQ LIMIT trimpot CW slowly until
armature current is 120% of motor rated current.
7. Set the speed adjust potentiometer to minimum.
8. Remove power.
9. Remove the stall from the motor.

Application Notes
Leader-follower application
In this application, use a PCM4 to monitor the speed of the leader
motor (Figure 17). The PCM4 isolates the leader motor from the
follower drive, and outputs a voltage proportional to the leader
motor armature voltage. The follower drive uses this voltage
reference to set the speed of the follower motor. An optional ratio
potentiometer may be used to scale the PCM4 output voltage.

Certificate of Compliance
Minarik Corporation hereby certifies that its XL series drives
(models C4XL3025 and C4XL3200A) have been approved to bear
the “CE” mark provided the conditions of approval have been met
by the end user.

The XL series has been tested to the following test specifications:

EN55014:1993 (emmisions), and


EN50082-1:1992 (immunity)

Compliance allows Minarik’s XL series to bear the CE mark.

The end user, as described herein, falls into one of two categories:

1. The Consumer will deploy a stand-alone unit as an


integral, yet external, portion of the machine being
operated.

2. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) will


implement the product as a component of the machine
being manufactured.

AC Line Filters
In addition to EMI/RFI safeguards inherent in the XL series’ design,
external filtering is required.

Minarik requires the AC line filters listed in Table 4. Use model


CE04XL with drives rated for 3A AC or below, model CE10XL with
drives rated for 10A AC or below, and model CE15XL for drives
rated 15A AC or below.
Certificate of Compliance 45

Wire the AC line filter within 0.25 meters of the drive. The ground
connection from the filter must be wired to solid earth ground (resistance
less than 500 ohms); not machine ground. This is very important!

If the end-user is using a CE-approved motor, the correct filter from


Table 4 is all that is necessary to meet the EMC directives listed herein.
