Overview

3 Overview
This chapter explains the principle functions of the DISOCONT Tersus system used in conjunction with a Stock
coal feeder.

3.1

What is the DISOCONT Tersus/DT-9?

The DISOCONT Tersus is a versatile family of modular weighing electronics for use with weighing and feeding
systems.
The DISOCONT Tersus performs all weighing and processing functions required for the measuring and feeding
of bulk solids. It is designed for continuous measuring and control tasks as well as discontinuous batching.
Used in conjunction with the specific application software for weighing and feeding tasks, the DISOCONT Tersus
can be used in the following industries:
Power
Steel
Basic Materials
Cement
Food
Chemical.
In connection with the corresponding mechanical equipment, the following systems are supported:
Belt Scales
Weigh Feeders
Solids flow meters (chutes)
Solids flow feeders
Loss-in-weight, gain-in-weight feeders
Mass flow meters (Coriolis meters)
Mass flow feeders (Coriolis feeders)
Filling systems.
The Stock DT-9 configuration of the DISOCONT Tersus is a modified version, optimized for feeding coal in power plant environment. There are two different versions of the DT-9. One is a completely redesigned and updated
version that is used in new installations. The second one uses the same components and software but has been
optimized for use as an upgrade to existing Stock 8085, 196, and 196NT installations. This version uses the
196NT connectors and mounting footprint.
VCU 20103 Designed for new installations where backwards compatibility is not required. This version is identified by the steel mounting frame and screw type electrical connectors. A Touch Screen HMI is always used
when a VCU 20103 is installed.
VCU 20104 Designed as a drop in replacement for the 196NT in existing installations. This version is identified
by the brown Amp style electrical connectors. The VCU 20104 can be used with either a Touch Screen HMI or
with an existing 196NT display.

Measuring Principle

The belt weighing system is designed to continuously weigh the amount of material transported on the feeder
belt. The actual weight of material transported is calculated by multiplying the feeder belt load, in lbs/inch, times
the feeder belt speed. The systems used to measure these two values are described below.
Belt Load
The feeder weight signal is generated by two load cells that support a single weigh roller. Two weigh span rollers
are located on each side of the weigh roller to accurately define the length of belt (and amount of coal) being
supported by the weigh roller.

Since the load cells only support half of the weight on the weigh span (each load cell supports 25 percent of the
total weight) the effective platform length (Leff) is calculated as:
Leff = Lg / 2
Leff = Effective platform length
Lg = Total platform length

Overview

The microprocessor computes the feeder belt load by repeatedly reading the voltage signal from each load cell
and converting the signal into a digital value (binary number) using an analog to digital (A/D) converter. Each
value is then compared to parameters stored in permanent memory to determine if the signal is within acceptable limits, and if it is, it is stored for use. The same operation is then performed on the other load cell, and the
signals are compared to each other to test their validity. If the signals are determined to be invalid, the feeder is
switched to volumetric operation and the controller uses a simulated belt load calculated from an historical average stored in memory. If the signals are determined to be valid, the two load cell signals are summed, the tare is
subtracted and the result is multiplied by a scaling factor based on the load cell data specified in P04.01 LC
Characteristic Value and P04.02 LC Rated Capacity to determine the nominal weight of material on the belt. This
nominal value is then multiplied by the three range correction factors (P10.03, P10.04 and P10.05) to determine
the actual weight (QB).

The belt load (Q) is computed from the total weight (QB) as follows:

Q = QB / Leff

Q = Belt load in kg/m


QB = W eight of load on platform in kg

Note: The 196NT parameter 10 Weigh Span Length is the full distance between the two weigh span rollers. The
DT-9 parameter P04.03 Effective Platform Length is half the distance between the two weigh span rollers. For
any given feeder, the value used by the DT-9 should be one half of the value used by the 196NT.

Belt Speed
During normal feeder operation, the belt speed is calculated from the motor RPM rather then being measured
directly. The relation ship between motor speed and belt speed is determined during calibration and is displayed
as P10.02 Pulses per length.

Feedrate Control and Totals


The weigh and speed information is used to calculate the actual feedrate as shown.

Feedrate (I) = Belt load (Q) x Belt Speed (V)

The feeder control accepts a feedrate set point from the source selected using parameter P03.02 Feedrate Setpoint . This signal is compared with a computed feedrate derived from measured weight and speed signals to
generate the system error signal which is used to adjust the speed of the motor. Compensation for system stability is provided in the software using parameters P11.01 P-Component KP and P11.02 I-Component TN. These

Overview

calculations are repeated periodically and at each iteration, the actual feedrate is multiplied by the time interval
to calculate the totalizer increment. Separate totals are kept for gravimetric and volumetric operation.

3.4

Operating Modes - Remote

The Remote Operating Mode is provided for normal operation, with the feeder feeding coal under control of the
plant control system. The source for the Start/Stop signal is designated by P03.01Feeder Start and the source
for the feedrate setpoint is designated by P03.02 Feedrate Setpoint. Analog feedback signals are generated
based on the entries to parameter block 14 Analog Outputs. Digital feedback signals (relay outputs) are generated based on the entries to parameter block 16 Digital Outputs.
While in the Remote Operating Mode, the feeder can use one of three systems to generate the required belt
speed set point.
Details for the different modes can be found in the appendix.

3.4.1

Gravimetric

Gravimetric Mode is the normal mode of operation. The feed rate is calculated using the belt speed and the actual belt load, and is controlled by the feed rate demand signal supplied by the plant control system. Parameter
P03.05 Maximum Feedrate, corresponds to the maximum demand signal and the minimum feed rate is set by
parameter P03.06 Minimum Feedrate. Parameter P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate should always match parameter
P03.05 Maximum Feedrate. The system can be set to produce an error if the demand signal is outside to normal
range.

3.4.2

Volumetric

Volumetric Mode is used when an error is detected in the weighing system. The actual feed rate is calculated
using the belt speed and an assumed belt load based on the average value over the last several hours, and is
controlled by the feed rate demand signal supplied by the plant control system. Parameter P03.05 Maximum
Feedrate, corresponds to the maximum demand signal and the minimum federate is set by parameter P03.06
Minimum Feedrate. Parameter P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate should always match parameter P03.05 Maximum
Feedrate. The system can be set to produce an error if the demand signal is outside to normal range.

3.4.3

Volumetric Control

Volumetric Control Mode is a variation of the gravimetric mode that is used when the feeder weigh system is
working correctly but the material on belt switch indicates that the belt is empty. The displayed feedrate and the
customer feedback signal is still based on the actual material being fed and the gravimetric total is still being
incremented but the belt speed is determined as if the feeder were in volumetric mode. This mode is used to
prevent the feeder from running to maximum belt speed when material flow is lost.

3.5

Operating Modes OFF/Maintenance

The OFF/Maint mode is is provided so that the feeder can be isolated from the plant control system during
startup, calibration and other maintenance operations. In this operating mode, the plant start/stop and demand

Overview

signals are ignored and feedback signals are not generated. The feeder must be in OFF/Maint mode before a
system calibration can be performed. When the feeder is operated in the OFF/Maint mode, the belt speed is set
based on the value of parameter P02.16 Maintenance Speed. This is an open loop signal calculated as a percentage of the full scale signal to the motor speed control (see parameters P11.04 Lower Limit, P11.05 Upper
Limit and P01.06 Controller Magnitude Offset).

In OFF/Maint mode belt can be started via the buttons on the VHM, via the Local key on the 196NT keyboard or
a digital input as defined by P15.25 DI: Local Start .

DT-9 Setup

4 DT-9 Setup
This section describes the startup process when a new feeder is installed or when an existing DT-9 is replaced.

CAUTION
Installing the DT-9 in a feeder that uses the Stock Load Cell Amplifier
Installing the DT-9 in a feeder that uses the Stock Load Cell Amplifier will damage the DT-9. The old style Load Cell Amplifier must be replaced with the new
version before the DT-9 can be used.

CAUTION
DO NOT connect a normal Ethernet cable to X96 (red RJ45 connector).
This connector uses normally unused wires in the CAT 5 cable to provide power
to the touch screen display. Failure to follow this warning may result in damage
to the DT-9 or to the attached network device.

HINT
The weigh span is specified using parameter P04.03 Effective Platform
Length.
This parameter is the distance between the weigh roller and either one of the
weigh span rollers. This is one-half the value used by the 196NT, which is the
distance between the weigh span rollers.

4.1

Setup Notes

This section is a general description of the feeder setup process. This process can be performed using either
the touch screen HMI or a PC loaded with the EasyServe software. Section Operation Using the Touch
Screen HMI [39] describes the Touch Screen HMI and Section Operation Using EasyServe [49] describes EasyServe.
Events (Error conditions) are usually defined using three parameters. The first, which is usually hidden by
default, defines the input signal that initiates the event, the second specifies the delay between the time
when the error is detected and the time when the event is generated, and the third, specifies the type of
event that is generated (A, W1, W2 or IG). In most cases, the Event (error) can be disabled by setting the
type of event to IG.
The DT-9 has 15 digital inputs (DI 1 through DI 15) and 13 digital outputs (DO 1 through DO 13). Each is
assigned to a specific function, and wired to the appropriate external device. These assignments are hidden
and should not be changed. See chapter Default I/O Points for a list of the default assignments.

DT-9 Setup

The DT-9 has one analog input (AI 1) and two analog outputs (AO 1 and AO 2). AI 1 is normally used as the
customer demand signal, AO 1 is normally used to control the motor speed control and AO 2 is normally
used as the customer feedback signal. These assignments are hidden and should not be changed.
The DT-9 has four slots for auxiliary analog I/O cards (channels A10-A13). These channels are not normally
used. Contact Stock engineering if special analog I/O signals are required.

4.2

Startup and Functional Check

This procedure verifies that the feeder and its controls are operating properly, simulates feeder trip conditions,
and checks the principal input/output connections.
1. Apply power to the feeder.
2. Insure that the feeder is in OFF/Maint mode and that the touch screen HMI is set to the home screen.
3. Set the feeder parameters as described in section Setup Parameters [17].
4. Interpret event messages, if any, and correct faults.
5. Unbalance the load cells by engaging the calibration weight on one side of the weigh roller. The display
should indicate volumetric mode. Unbalance each load cell in order to check both sides, then remove the

Setup Parameters

The microprocessor controller is tailored to specific feeders and customers needs by the setup parameters.
Feeder-specific physical dimensions must be entered as well as user-selectable display modes and set points.
These values are stored in permanent memory and are only entered once. See section Parameters [59] for a
complete list and description of the parameters.
Note: In any given application, the majority of the DT-9 parameters are either not used, or fixed by the design of
the feeder and cabinet. These parameters can be viewed using EasyServe in expert mode (default password
7353) but should not be changed.
The controllers will come preprogrammed from Stock Equipment Company but if changes are needed, there are
two ways to do this:
Using EasyServe Software (See section Parameters [59])
Using the Touch Screen HMI (See Section The 'Setup' Screen [42])

4.4

Calibration

The feeder should be calibrated at startup, after one month of initial operation and every six months there after.
Calibration should also be performed following a weigh roller adjustment or replacement of the belt, the CPU
board, or a load cell module. The controller should also be calibrated after the controller firmware is updated or a
Load Default Values operation is performed. Calibration is accomplished in two separate steps.
Step one of calibration consists of the elimination of system tare, which includes the weight of the weigh roller,
load cell support assembly, and the feeder belt. It also involves measuring belt speed and its relationship to motor speed. Step two calibrates the load cell output with a known weight.
Cancellation of feeder tare is performed by measuring the average weigh system output over exactly two belt
revolutions (eight tape passes) and then subtracting this amount from the total weight measurement. When the
belt is running empty, it produces a zero average contribution to the totalized weight. In normal operation, the
average tare is automatically subtracted from the gross weight of the belt. Therefore, only the material weight on
the belt is reflected as totalized weight.
While the empty belt is being weighed, the belt speed is also being accurately measured. This is done by measuring the time it takes a retro-reflective marker, attached to the belt, to travel between two fixed points on the
feeder body. This parameter is measured eight times to determine repeatability and to compensate for variations
in belt thickness. From this data, the belt speed is calculated and the relationship between belt speed and motor
speed is established. The feeder operates with zero belt slippage. Therefore, the ratio of belt speed to average
motor speed is constant. This ratio is stored in memory and is used to determine the belt speed for any motor
speed.
The span of the weighing system is set after the tare has been measured. A known weight is applied to the
weigh roller and the average output over exactly two belt revolutions (eight tape passes) is measured. This calibrated span factor is stored in memory and used to accurately determine the value of the weight of the material
on the belt.
Note: The DT-9 parameter P04.03 Effective Platform Length is the distance from either weigh span roller to the
central weigh roller, which is supported by the load cell. This is half the distance between the two weigh span
rollers. For any given feeder, the value used by the DT-9 should be one half of the value used by the 196NT.

4.4.1

Performing Calibrations

The calibration process consists of the following three steps.


1. Weigh Roller Adjustment.
2. Basic (Cal 1) Belt speed and tare calibration.
3. Span (Cal 2) Belt Speed and span calibration.
Note: At least one Basic (Cal 1) must be performed prior to performing a Span (Cal 2).

The following special calibration processes can be preformed for testing or special maintenance operations, but
are not normally required.
1. TC: Span calibration - Chain test calibration.
2. LB: Pulses / Belt - Belt speed calibration.

3. TA: Tare - Tare calibration.


Note: Calibration is considered a local operation. No totalization takes place and analog feedback signals are
set to minimum.

4.4.2

Weigh Roller Adjustment

For the feeder to weigh accurately, the central weigh roller must be aligned with the weigh span rollers within
0.002 inch (0.05 mm). Refer to Fig.
Note: The parts shown may differ from those that actually shipped. This figure is to be used as a general
guideline.
Weigh Roller Adjustment Procedure
1. Mount the calibration weight on both load cells.
2. Insert the checking bars (A2451-1) through the discharge end access door of the feeder, adjacent to the
sides of the belt, and with their machined surfaces resting on the weigh span and weigh rollers.
3. Beginning on either side, insert a 0.005 in. shim between each of the three rollers and the machined surface
of the checking bar (three places).

DT-9 Setup

1. Loosen the jam nut, and then turn the adjustment block to lower the weigh roller.
2. Slowly turn the adjustment block to raise the weigh roller until the shim is touching both checking bar and
weigh roller (slip fit). Tighten the jam nut.
3. Similarly, adjust the weigh roller on the opposite side of the feeder.
4. Remove the checking bars.
5. Remove the calibration weights.
6. The feeder must be recalibrated after weigh roller adjustment. (See procedure on next page.)

4.4.3

Basic (CAL 1)

This operation measures the tare factor and the belt speed factor and updates the following parameters.
P10.02 Pulses per length
P10.10 Basic Tare
P10.11 Belt Circuit No.
Note: The calibration results are not saved to the parameter table until the operator accepts them buy pressing
<Apply> in EasyServe, <SAVE> on the (optional) Touch Screen HMI or <ENTER> on the 196NT display.

Requirements:
The weigh span must be level prior calibration. If the weigh roller height has been adjusted, a complete calibration (Basic (Cal 1) and Span (Cal 2)) must be performed.
The calibration probes must be installed and in the correct location.
Cal probe A is located closer to the feeder inlet.
De-energize the DT-9 before installing the probes.
Four retro-reflective tape clips must be installed on the belt.
The tape clips must be farther apart than the distance between the cal probes or a Probe Error will be
generated and the calibration will not complete.
Four tape clips are normally used but two can be used if the feeder is very shot or eight can be used if
the feeder is very long or slow. If two tape clips are used, the feeder will be calibrated over four belt revolutions, instead of two, and P10.11 Belt Circuit No. will be twice the correct value. If eight tape clips are
used, the feeder will be calibrated over one belt revolution and P10.11 Belt Circuit No. will be half the
correct value.
The feeder must NOT be in volumetric mode.
The feeder must be in OFF/Maint mode.
The feeder belt must be empty.
The calibration weights must NOT be installed.

Calibration Procedure:
Before starting the calibration, record the values of parameters P10.02 Pulses per length and P10.10 Basic Tare
1. These will be used later to verify that the calibration results are consistent.

Analog Trim Function

The feeder controls respond to a feed rate demand signal and return isolated analog feedback signals. W hen the
input and output modules associated with these signals are used with the plants control system, they must be
adjusted prior to operating the feeder under remote control. To perform this procedure, Stock Equipment Company recommends the Fluke Model 87 Digital Multimeter or equivalent. The DC accuracy for milliamps should be
0.2 % and the DC accuracy for voltage should be 0.1 % plus 1 digit. It also must have a 4 digit highresolution mode.
Setting analog trim values using the touch screen HMI (See section Operation Using the Touch Screen HMI
[39])
Setting analog trim values using EasyServe (See section Operation Using EasyServe [49])
Note: The plant combustion control system is the preferred source of the demand signal. This will precisely align
the feeder to the control system.
The DT-9 has one built in analog input (4 - 20 mA or 0 10 VDC) and two built in analog outputs (4 - 20mA only). These I/O channels are described below.
1. AI 1: Connected to wires SIG+ & SIG- (X6-3, X6-4 or X6-3, X6-5). This input is normally used for the customer demand signal. The value in P03.02 Feedrate Setpoint (normally hidden) should be set to AI 1.
2. AO 1: Connected to wires 142, 143 & 144 (X6-6 and X6-7). This output is normally used for the motor speed
control (VFD). The value in P11.03 AO: Motor Speed Control should be set to AO 1.
3. AO 2: Connected to wires 139, 140 & 141 (X6-8 and X6-9). This output is normally used for the customer
feedback signal. The value in P14.04 AO: Actual Flow Rate should be set to AO 2.

DT-9 Setup

In addition to the built in analog channels, there are four slots in which analog I/O cards can be installed. Parameter group 1 is used to assign each slot to an analog I/O channel (AI 2 through AI 5 or AO 3 through AO 6). Slots
can be either input or output, depending on the type of card installed. Each card is individually isolated.
1. A10: Connected to terminal blocks X12-1 and X12-2. Can be assigned to AI 2 or AO 3.
2. A11: Connected to terminal blocks X12-3 and X12-4. Can be assigned to AI 3 or AO 4.
3. A12: Connected to terminal blocks X12-5 and X12-6. Can be assigned to AI 4 or AO 3.
4. A13: Connected to terminal blocks X12-7 and X12-8. Can be assigned to AI 5 or AO 6.

Belt Monitoring

The DISOCONT Tersus has an expanded belt monitor integrated into it that monitors belt drift and slippage. Belt
drift monitoring is activated by configuring the source for the belt sensor in the P07.04 DI: Source Belt Sensor
parameters. Monitoring may only be activated if the conveyor is equipped with a belt with integrated triangular
markings and if the sensor has been installed.
Additionally, differences in weight across the belt, unavoidable despite its high quality, can be identified over one
belt circuit and be compensated for (BIC). This function is activated by the P07.05 BIC Active parameters.
Belt-drift switches feed to inputs used for the identification of external events. Furthermore, belt motion can be
monitored using additional (1 or 2) sensors (parameter group '2-Sensor Slip').

4.6.1

Belt Drift Monitoring

The sensor records the position relative to the feeder frame of the triangles integrated into the belt. The result is
presented after one complete belt circuit.

Fig. 2: Principle of belt-drift monitoring

The departure of the course of the belt from the neutral position can be shown in the operating area Setup.

Procedure to be followed
Step

Task
1

Enter the parameters as per the list given above

Set the scales so that the belt runs centered.

Execute the adjustment program 'LB: Pulses/Belt' and use the result after two complete belt circuits.

Set the sensor relative to the belt so that the course indicator shows zero. Small deviations can be adjusted
via P21.01.
For example:
For P07.12 = 0, display of belt drift = 0.2 then
For P07.12 = -0.2, display of belt drift = 0

By altering the value of P21.01, belt drift can be simulated and the system's reaction to this condition can be
observed.
Set P07.12 back to its original value after the test.

DT-9 Setup

4.6.2

Belt Influence Compensation (BIC)

The automatic belt influence compensation (BIC = Belt Influence Ccompensation) monitors and corrects the
influence of the belt on the material weight measurement. As with belt monitoring, it requires a sensor and a
marking in the belt. BIC improves feed consistency and batch accuracy, if batch mode is preset.
For the initial commissioning, we recommend switching BIC off (P07.05 = NO). The belt-drift monitoring [28]
must be activated to enable this function.
After commissioning, BIC can be activated once normal bulk material conditions have been established on the
belt (P07.05 = YES). The parameters for the belt drift monitoring must have been set. The BIC will have measured the belt influence after around 10 belt circuits and will be able to correct the weight value accordingly. It
does not require setting.

4.6.3

Belt Slippage Monitoring

Belt slippage is defined as the difference between the speed of the belt as set by the head pulley and the actual
speed of the belt. Belt slippage can result from an excessively high removal force on the bulk material from the
hopper, from soiling of the drive roller or from excessively low belt tension. Slippage influences directly measuring and feeding accuracy, as the measured value for belt speed is calculated using the rotational speed of the
motor.

4.6.3.1 Monitoring Standstill after Startup


A carrying idler or the guide pulley is equipped with an impulse sensor. Standstill monitoring can only be used if
the feeder is run with a minimum feed rate setpoint. If the belt can be run with a feed rate of zero, a different
manner of belt slippage monitoring must be implemented if it is required.
After a short waiting period after the feeder is switched on, the signal sent to the input channel defined in P16.23
is evaluated. If this signal transmits no impulse within the time defined by P07.02, it will be assumed that the belt
is not moving. In this case the corresponding event is triggered (P07.03).
Belt slippage of only a few percent cannot be detected using this method.

4.6.3.2 Belt Slippage with Belt Marking


If using a belt with a belt marking, this marking can be used to measure belt motion. The comparison between
the belt motion expected as a result of the head pulley motion and the distance measured across the duration of
two belt marking measurements allows the slippage to be detected with high accuracy. This method also allows
errors in the belt speed to be identified that result from soiling of the drive roller.
However, this method can only produce results after one complete belt circuit. A different method must be used
if more rapid identification is required.
In order to harness this method, the belt drift monitoring [28], the belt slippage threshold (in P07.07) and the
reaction to the event (in P07.08 and P07.09) must be set.

DT-9 Setup

4.6.3.3 Two-Sensor Belt Slippage Monitoring


Two sensors whose signals supply information on the belt speed are required for this form of belt slippage monitoring. A comparison of both signals gives information on the reliability of each signal and the belt slippage between both measuring points. The information given by the impulse tachometer on the motor can be used for
one of the signals, and can also be used for the feed rate calculation. A second signal is generated by a pulse
sensor on a carrying idler or guide pulley. The ratio of the speeds measured by the two sensor signals gives a
measured value for belt slippage.

DANGER
Feeding can be started with the operating panel. This switches on drives
and bulk material may flow. The operator must ensure that no damage can
be caused by beginning feeding before doing so.
Dangerous situations may arise if communication is interrupted while the
device is being operated via a non-permanent line (pluggable cable, wireless). Therefore, such methods of accessing control should be reserved
for service work only.

5.1

Connection between VHM Operating Panel and Scale Controller (VCU)

After a loss of power at the operating panel, the console will try automatically to reconnect to the scales with
which it was communicating before the power failure after a specific, adjustable period of time. During this time
the 'Feeder' page can again be selected to select a different scale.
If a data connection exists and communication with a different scales is to be activated, the existing connection
must first be closed. This can be done after logging on as a privileged user with the key '<->Scale'.
An error message is displayed on the screen if a connection is lost. If the connection cannot be re-established
after several attempts, the operating panel will open the configuration dialog.
The selection of a scales is shown in the following chapters, depending on the medium of communication.

Operating and Control Access

5.1.1

Connection via Ethernet Cable

Precondition: The VHM operating panel must be connected to the ethernet network to which the control unit
VCU is also connected. The hardware requirements are described in the system manual BV-H2406.
The channel 'Ethernet' must be selected in the operating panel configuration (Configuring the Communication
Path (Com)).
Once the first connection has been made, the operating panel searches for VCU controllers in the network and
displays the outcome on the page 'Feeder'. A scales can be selected and a data connection to it established by
pressing the corresponding key.

5.1.2

Connection via Bluetooth

Preconditions: A bluetooth adapter must be connected both to the operating panel and the scales. The scale
has to be in the range of the function. The hardware requirements are described in the system manual BVH2406.
The Bluetooth channel has to be selected (Configuring the Communication Path (Com)) in the configuration of
the operator panel.
Once the communication path has been selected, the console will search for bluetooth adapters within range.
Other Bluetooth adapters can be found and displayed along with controller VCUs. The outcome is shown on the
page Feeder.
Note: A complete search for all bluetooth adapters can take several seconds. A progress indicator is displayed
during the search. There will also be Bluetooth adapters shown that no connection can be established to, either
because they are not DISOCONT Tersus controllers or there is already a different data connection.
Scales can be selected and a data connection to them established by pressing the corresponding key. It may
take several seconds before a connection is established. The respective status will be shown in the header of
the operating panel while a connection is being established.
Note: Connection can be established to one scales only, assuming the scales are not already connected to another bluetooth adapter. The other connection may first need to be closed. If there is another connection, the
operating panel will try constantly to connect.
If bluetooth is used, the scales to whose bluetooth adapter a connection has been established is the only scales
with which communication can be made. The ethernet destination address may not be changed in the VHM.

5.1.3

Connection via RS485

Prerequisites: The operator panel and controller have to be in the same RS485 network. The hardware requirements are described in the system manual BV-H2406.
The RS485 channel has to be selected in the configuration of the operating panel (Configuring the Communication Path (Com)).
Once the communication path has been selected, the operator panel will switch to the Feeder page. This is
where the address of VCU is set. The last digits of the Ethernet address (P25.07) of the scale controller will be
used again for addressing at the RS485 bus.

Operating and Control Access

The system performs a check of the communication path once the address has been entered. If communication
can be established under the address entered, this is indicated by a green marking beside the address number.
Otherwise this marking will be red.
Communication with the scales can be established with the key 'Con.Scale'.
Note: The operating panel is the master at the bus. Therefore only one operating panel can be connected to the
bus at any one time.

5.2

Connecting a PC with EasyServe to a Scales Controller (VCU)

5.2.1

Connection via Ethernet

If the connection is to be established by cable the connection should be made using ethernet.
Preconditions: The EasyServe PC is connected with an ethernet cable to the scales network.
Note: Use either an uncoded VCU socket or, if using a red-coded socket, use a special cable (yellow) for the
connection.
The EasyServe address must be in the same ethernet subnetwork as the scales' address. If necessary the address can be changed by EasyServe in the scanner. A scales can also be addressed using a router if the network has already been configured. The scales address would then be entered manually, not using the scanner.
The PC must then have an IP address in the directly connected subnetwork.
The EasyServe Connection I Ethernet (Scanner) menu item is the easiest way to select. This will display all of
the scales available in the network. The scales' connection parameters can be altered and a connection to the
scales made here.
If the scale is connected to a different subnet, it can be selected manually using Connection | Ethernet (manual)
and entering the IP address of the scale.

5.2.2

Connection via RS-232

RS-232 is used to make a connection in special cases only, e.g. when no connection can be made via ethernet.
It may be necessary to establish a connection via RS-232 if there is a power failure to a device while a software
program is being loaded into it in order to re-load the software.
Precondition: The PC serial interface (COM) is connected by cable to VCU socket X97. For details see the
system manual BV-H2406.
Use the EasyServe menu item 'Connection | Serial...' to connect.
The only permissible transfer format is 38400 baud, 8-O-1. Select the PC COM port and the address of the
scales. The is stored in scales parameter P21.01 Own Address.
Note: A software update can take up to 20 minutes using the RS-232 interface. Other functions work slower than
they would if the connection was made using Ethernet.

5.2.3

Connection via WLAN

We recommend using W LAN to make a wireless connection to a scales.

Operating and Control Access

Preconditions: The scales have been connected with a W LAN modem to the Ethernet. The WLAN modem has
been configuered as an access point and its ethernet address is in the same subnetwork as the scales. The PC
also has a WLAN modem, and the IP address of the PC is in the same network as the scales' IP address.
In general the W LAN modem is configured using a browser before use. This configuration is described in the
modem's user manual.
The WLAN in the PC is activated and the WLAN access point selected. Once the connection to the WLAN access point has been made, all of the functions can be accessed on the PC as they would if an ethernet connection were made by cable.

5.2.4

Connection via Bluetooth

A connection is more complicated to establish via bluetooth than via WLAN. The only scales that can be accessed is the one to whose bluetooth adapter the connection was established.
Preconditions: Scales and PC are equipped with bluetooth adapters.
Establishing a connection:
1

Start the bluetooth adapter configuration program in the PC.

Select the desired scales from the list of adapters displayed.


Note: It will be necessary to restart the PC if the name of the scales was changed in order to display
the changed name.

Begin establishing a connection with the bluetooth adapter. Password: 7353.

The PC user must enter a PAN once the connection to the bluetooth adapter has been established.

The address of the bluetooth scales is one number lower than the scales' IP-subnetwork set by parameter. The PC address must be in the same subnetwork.

The scales can now be selected using the scanner or by means of a direct address input. Other scales
in the network cannot be addressed.

5.3

Connection between a Web Browser and a VCU Scales Controller

Preconditions: The PC has an ethernet connection to the VCU. Java is installed on the PC and can be started.
Temporary file storage may not be activated in Java as this can cause erroneous status messages to occur.

Establishing the connection: The URL of the operator interface homepage must be entered into the browser
address line. This URL arises as follows:
< Adresse>/hmi/start_<Skalierung>x.html
Address: VCU IP address
Scaling: size of the display on the screen. The values 2, 3 or 4 can be entered.
Example: http://192.168.240.1/hmi/start_2x.html

The top half of the Parameter screen displays the current Parameter Block. The bottom half of the screen displays the various parameters that are available in the selected Parameter Block. Press the Up and Down Arrow
buttons to scroll through the various blocks and parameters.
To change the value of a parameter, press the [Edit] button (Note: the user must be logged in to change parameter values). If the parameter contains a list of possible settings, a set of Up and Down Arrow buttons will appear
and can be used to scroll through the available options. If the parameter contains a discrete value, a text box will
appear. Press the [Save] button to save any changes that were made to the parameter value, or press the [Exit]
button to exit without saving any changes.

6.2.4.5 Trimming the Analog Inputs and Outputs


The Trim screen is used to trim the analog inputs and outputs.
Any active analog input or feedback must be matched or adjusted to the DT-9 controls. Two signals levels must
be adjusted for each channel used. The first signal level, MIN, corresponds to the lower value being adjusted
and is transmitted when the feed rate is at 0%. The second level, MAX, corresponds to the higher value being
adjusted and is transmitted when the feed rate is at 100 %.
Note: If the feeder is not equipped with a remote analog demand input, the input alignment can be omitted. If an
analog output signal is not present, the output alignment section can be omitted.
Note: Unlike the 196NT, it is necessary to trim the analog output channel (normally AO 1) that is used to control
the motor speed control.
I/O Channel Adjustment
When setting the output channels use a meter to measure the signal on:
AO 1: Connected to wires 142, 143 & 144 (X6-6 and X6-7)
AO 2: Connected to wires 139, 140 & 141 (X6-8 and X6-9).
When setting the input channel source the signal to:
AI 1: Connected to wires SIG+ & SIG- (X6-3, X6-4 or X6-3, X6-5).
Follow These Steps:
1. Press [Trim] to initiate the Trim function. Analog Output Channel 1 is always the first one displayed. To access other channels use the arrow up or down buttons. Press [Exit] to get back to the main screen.
2. When aligning the output channels, the minimum and maximum analog signals are sent by the DT-9. The
user measures and enters the actual values. The AO 1 values are stored in P17.11 and P17.12, and the AO
2 values are stored in P17.13 and P17.14.
a) Press the Down arrow button to scroll to the measure mode for output channel AO 1 Min. The DT-9 will
output the minimum signal value. The display will ask for the measured value. Enter the value measured on
your meter in the Analog value measured text box then press [Save] to store.
b) Press the Down arrow button to scroll to the measure mode for output channel AO 1 Max. The DT-9 will
output the maximum signal value. The display will ask for the measured value. Enter the value measured on
your meter in the Analog value measured text box then press [Save] to store.
c) Repeat steps a. and b. for output channel AO 2.
d) Press the [Exit] button to exit the Trim function.
3. When aligning the input channel AI 1, the minimum and maximum analog demand signals are applied to the
input signal wires of the DT-9. The analog demand is measured then stored in P17.01 Analog Input 1 Min

and P17.02 Analog Input 1 Max.


a) Press [Trim] then use the arrow keys to select Analog Input 1 Min. Press [Start] to enter the measure
mode. The first value measured is the minimum analog demand signal AI 1. Use either a precision source or,
preferably, a minimum demand signal directly from the combustion control system. The display will show the
value being measured from the source. Press [Save] to store the value.
b) Press the Down arrow button to scroll to the maximum analog demand signal AI 1 and press [Start] to enter the measure mode. Use either a precision source or, preferably, a maximum demand signal directly from
the combustion control system. The display will show the value being measured from the source. Press
[Save] to store the value.

6.2.4.6 Restoring the Factory Default Settings


The Defaults screen allows the user to overwrite all parameter settings with the factory default values. The
[Custom] button will overwrite all parameters with the original values as set by Stock Equipment at the time that
the feeders were shipped. The [Factory] button will overwrite all parameters with the factory default values. In
general, the [Custom] button should always be used when resetting the parameters.

6.2.4.7 Simulation Mode


The Simulation Mode allows for operation of the feeder without material for test purpose, training or demonstration.

STRICTLY OBSERVE
The feedrate indicated and the feedback signal differ from the real rate of
flow.
Wrong of missing coal feeding. Wrong material totalizer.
When Simulation Mode the loadcell signal and the speed signal will be simulated in a way that the actual rate
shown follows the demand signal. This allows for.
Check of the interface to the plant control
Check of fieldbus signals
Demonstration and training
For coal feeding operation the Simulation Mode must be switched off again.

6.2.4.8 Calibrating the Feeder


The Calibration screen allows the user to access the various calibration functions. Refer to Section Calibration

Typical Operating Procedures

1. When filling the bunker, first close the inlet valve to minimize the filling pressure on the feeder and to avoid
compaction of the material at the feeder inlet. This precaution is unnecessary if the bunker is refilled while at
least 8 to 10 feet (2.43 to 3.05 meters) of material remain in it.
2. When starting the feeder, open the inlet valve slowly to load the belt at a controlled rate and to minimize
compaction at the feeder inlet.
3. Energize the feeder controls at the disconnect switch in the control cabinet. Observe that the HMI is illuminated.
4. From the [HOME] screen, press the [Remote] button. Upon receipt of a customer-generated feeder start
command and a demand signal from the combustion control system, the feeder begins to operate and the
display indicates that the feeder is running forward.
5. As material fills the feeder belt, the display indicates that the feeder is feeding material.
6. The DT-9 will begin totalizing the weight and updating the current feeder information.
7. The feeder will respond automatically to the changing demands of the combustion control system until it is
de-energized.
8. For a brief stop with a loaded belt, press the [OFF/Maint.] button
9. For a clean shutdown with an empty belt, close the inlet valve while the feeder is still running. When the belt
is emptied, press the [OFF/Maint] button. This procedure is recommended whenever the feeder will be inactive for a long period of time, since it eliminates the possibility of material compaction at the feeder inlet due
to consolidation caused by its own weight.
10. To jog the feeder belt forward, press the [OFF/Maint] button followed by the [Jog >>] button on the microprocessor keyboard for as long as motion is required. Pressing the [<< Jog] button will jog the feeder belt backwards.
11. To operate the feeder in the MAINTENANCE mode for inspection or servicing, press the [OFF/Maint] button
followed by the [Run >>] button. The feeder will run forward at the speed programmed in P02.16 Maintenance Speed. Pressing the [<< Run] button will cause the feeder to run backwards at the same speed.

Operation Using EasyServe

CAUTION
DO NOT use the RJ45 connector marked X96 to connect the DT-9 to a laptop or PC.
This connector is designed to supply power for the Touch Screen HMI through
normally unused connections. Connecting a PC to X96 could cause damage to
the DT-9, the PC or both. A red cover is normally installed over this connector to
prevent it from being used with a PC.

8.4.1

Connecting to Feeder

The EasyServe program and an Ethernet connection are used for most DT-9 Programming operations. The DT9 cannot generate an IP address for the computer running EasyServe so the PC must be set to a static IP address. The DT-9 default IP address is 192.168.240.1 and the PC must be on the same subnet. Set the PC address to 192.168.240.254 as starting point. One of several ways to do this is listed below.

Windows XP
1. Select Network Connections in Control Panel
2. Double click on the Local Area Connection line to bring up Local Area Connection Status dialog box. If you
have more then one Local Area Connection you probably want to select the one that is not connected.
3. Click on the Properties button (under the General tab) in the Local Area Connection Status dialog box. This
will bring up the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
4. Under the General tab, scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) line, select this line then press the Properties button. This will bring up the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
5. In the General tab, the Obtain an IP address automatically button will normally be set, and the Alternate Configuration tab will be visible. Select the Alternate Configuration tab.
6. If an alternate IP address has already been entered, record this value. Select the User Configured button
then enter the IP address (192.168.240.254) and the Subnet mask (255.255.255.0) to use with the DT-9.
Leave the Default gateway field blank.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the alternate IP address once the DT-9 update has been completed.
When the Ethernet port is configured as described above, the PC/Laptop can be connected to a DT-9 or a
company network without changing the settings.
7. If the Ethernet port has been set to a fixed IP address, the Obtain an IP address automatically button will not
be set and the Alternate Configuration tab will not be visible. In this case either the fixed IP address can be
changed, by changing the IP address and Subnet mask fields in the Use the following IP address: box, or by
selecting the Obtain an IP address automatically button and following steps 5 and 6. In either case, the previous IP address and Subnet mask should be recorded prior to making any changes.
8. Select OK and back out.
9. Make the physical connection to the DT-9 by installing a CAT 5 cable (either straight through or crossover)
between the PC Ethernet port and any of the RJ45 connectors on the DT-9 except X96. X96 uses normally

Testing

9.3

Material Test

No check or calibration using check weights can perfectly simulate actual conditions. The actual accuracy can
only be determined with a material test. The DT-9 allows errors found during this testing to be easily corrected
using Parameter P10.05 Range Correction TM.

Requirements
Handling route from weighing platform to material collecting point is totally clean.
No material is diverted during the test.
If feed screws or air slides are provided between platform and collecting point, run the system with material
for approx. 30m minutes before starting the material test. This will allow the normal build-ups to form on feed
units.
Do not remove dust or clean the equipment during the test.
Hoppers or vehicles transporting the material to a legal-for-trade commercial scale have been cleaned and
re-weighed before filling (tare weight).

Example:
The figure shows the operating principle of a material test.

Within a certain period of time, e.g. 15 min., an actual material amount MW of 4.9 t is fed. The material value MA
displayed on DISOCONT is 5.0 t. The new value of P09.01 Limit: Actual Flow Rate MIN is computed using the
following formula:
Parameter P09.01 (new) = Parameter P09.01 (old) * MW / MA
In our example, value is 0.98.
Enter new value into Parameter P10.05 Range Correction TM.

Parameters are variable features or data used to adapt DT-9 to the application.
There are two principal types of parameter:
Selection parameters - for selection from multiple Options
Select characteristic values (e.g., display unit, control behavior)
Select event classes (determine reaction on events)
Select hardware configuration (source, unit, channel, level)
Numeric parameters - for direct input of numeric values
Parameters can be changed during operation. However, parameters influencing measuring result, e.g., display
filters, must not be changed.
Default Values:
The DT-9 controller saves two different sets of default parameter value, referred to as Factory Defaults and Custom Defaults. Factory Defaults are set in the controller firmware and cannot be modified. These values provide a
common starting point for new systems. Custom Defaults can be modified in the field and can store the custom
settings used for a particular installation. Custom Defaults are set during factory testing.
All parameters are preset with default values that dont normally need to be changed. You can recall default values using the "Load Factory Defaults" function and the Load Custom Defaults function.
Identification:
Parameters are organized by function group and identified as follows:
"Group number - parameter number - parameter name", e.g., P01.02 Event: Communication ARM7.
Parameters Attributes:
The DT-9 is versatile system that can be user programmed for a variety of application and many of the parameters required for one application are not required for others. To simplify operation, each parameter has a parameter attribute that can be set to hidden (H), read only (R) or read/write (W). Special parameters that are not normally used in Stock feeders are factory set to default values and then hidden. Their current values, default values and hidden status can be changed in EasyServe, using Expert Mode (Menu: Edit | Expert Mode). The default password is 7353.

Fieldbus (FB), control unit (OP), speed (v), not assigned (n/a) and the low-resolution analog input (DI4) does not
require additional specification for unit, channel or level.
Analog inputs (AI), outputs (AO) and load cell (LC) require the unit to be specified.
Digital inputs (DI) and outputs (DO) require unit, channel and level to be specified.

Example:
Parameter P 16.21 determines the relay output that indicates that a warning (W 1 or W2) event is active.

DT-9 Parameter List

A complete set of DT-9 parameters is listed below with options, default values and descriptions. The factory default values are selected based on either, the requirements of the existing wiring groups or the most commonly
used values. Some parameters are shown as Hidden. These parameters are not visible from the feeder display
and it should not normally be necessary to changed them. If it is necessary to view or modify these parameters
set EasyServe to Expert mode (View | Expert Mode). The default password is 7353. This will make the parameters visible in EasyServe and allow the parameter attributes (H-Hidden, R-Read only & W-Read/Write) to be
changed.

10.2.2 Parameter Details


10.2.2.1 Parameter Block 01 - Hardware Modules
Parameters in this group are used to select the error conditions that are generated by communication errors and
to indicate to the controller which I/O module has been installed in each of the analog I/O slots. The analog I/O
channels that are defined here are used in later parameter groups.
The VCU 20103 has three built in analog channels and four slots for analog I/O modules. On the VCU 20103
channel A10 is closest to the power supply and channel A13 is farthest from the power supply.
P01.01

Event: Communication HMI 1

Event Group: SY

Default: W2

Number: 07

The parameter selects the error condition generated when communications between the
DT-9 and the touch screen HMI are lost for more then 10 seconds. The touch screen HMI
must be connected to the X96 Ethernet port. This connector is located toward the center of
the board, is marked in red and is keyed for a special cable.
The parameter should be set to W2 (Warning with automatic reset).
Actions:
- Check operation of touch screen display (see display section).
- Check cable connections.
- Is correct Ethernet connection used?

P01.02

Parameters

This parameter is used to scale the belt speed analog output (i.e., Maximum analog signal
= Nominal speed) and serves as the reference value for limit value monitoring. Nominal
speed, together with nominal feedrate, is used to calculate the nominal belt load.
Nominal speed is calculated as:
(P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate) / (300 X Nom. Density X P04.10 Load cross section)

Note: If both P04.07 Belt LC Left and P04.08 Belt LC Right are set to Not Used, the load
cells will be disabled and the system will operate as a volumetric feeder. The DT-9 will calculate an assumed belt load based on P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate and P02.06 Nominal Belt
Speed as shown below.
Nominal Belt Load = (P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate) / (3600 X P02.06 Nominal Belt Speed)

P02.07

Display Formats

Alternative:

STANDARD
SELECTABLE

Default: SELECTABLE

This parameter allows the operator to either, accept the standard set of display formats
(determined by the controller based on the P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate) or to select the

P02.12

DO: Pulse Counter

Alternative:

DO
n/a

Default: DO V103.DO12 High

This parameter specifies the digital output used for the Total Coal Integrator (TCI).
The TCI cycles continuously while the feeder is in operation. To prevent premature failure
of the output relay this parameter should always be set to DO 12 (Reed Relays - Terminal
blocks X16-3 through X16-6).

P02.13
Min: 0 lb

Totalizer Increment

Default: 100 lb

Max: 100000 lb

This parameter sets the weight associated with each Total Coal Integrator (TCI) pulse. It is
the same as 196NT Setup 07 (Remote Totalizer Data Logging Increment).
The TCI output frequency is based on parameter P02.11, parameter P02.12 and the actual
feedrate. If the values selected for these parameters require an output frequency greater
then the maximum frequency of the selected device, an error (MF 14 - P02.13) will be generated. See parameter P02.12 for more information.
This parameter is normally set to either 100 Lbs or 100 Kg.

P02.14
Min: 0 s

Parameters

This parameter sets the duration of each Total Coal Integrator (TCI) pulse. It is the same as
196NT Setup 35 (Remote Totalizer Pulse W idth).
The TCI output frequency is based on this parameter, parameter P02.11 and the actual
feedrate. If this combination of values requires an output frequency greater then the maximum frequency of the selected device, an error (MF 14 - P02.13) will be generated.
The maximum pulse frequency can be calculated as:
Frequency = (P03.05 Maximum Feedrate) / ((3600) x ( P02.11))
When the TCI output is directed to an open collector or reed relay output the maximum
possible pulse frequency is 10 Hz (P02.12 set to 0.05 sec). When the TCI output is directed
to a mechanical relay output the maximum possible pulse frequency is 1.0 Hz (P02.12 set
to 0.5 sec). W hen the pulse length (P02.12) is increased, these values are reduced.
The maximum possible frequency (in Hz) is calculated as:
Max. possible freq. = 1 / (2 X P02.12 (in sec))
To insure that the TCI output works correctly the maximum pulse frequency must always be
less then the maximum possible frequency.

P02.15

Event: Remote TCI too small

Event Group: MF

Default: W2

Number: 14

The parameter selects the error condition generated when totalizer pulses for the Total
Coal Integrator (TCI) output are generated faster then the TCI output can operate. See
parameter P02.14 Pulse Length Total for more information.
This parameter should be set to W2.
Action: Set P02.13 Totalizer Increment and/or P02.14 Pulse Length Total to a smaller value.

Parameters

This parameter determines the Motor Speed Control (MSC) demand signal used during
maintenance (local, calibrate, jog) operations. It is similar to 196NT Setup 01 (Speed Setpoint) except that the MSC demand signal is set rather then the actual motor speed (open
loop operation). The actual motor RPM is determined by the characteristics of the motor
and the MSC.
This parameter is normally set to 50% which will produce a motor speed of approximately
900 RPM with a 4 pole, 60 Hz motor.

P02.17

DO: FRI Frequency

Alternative:

DO
n/a

Default: DO V103.DO13 High

This parameter specifies the digital output used for the Feed Rate Indicator (FRI). This
parameter output can only be set to DO 13 (terminal block X6-1 and X6-2) which is an isolated, unpowered, transistor output.

P02.18
Min: 0 Hz/(t/h)

Remote FRI Frequency

Default: 10 Hz/(t/h)

Max: 2000000 Hz/(t/h)

The value of this parameter is used to calculate remote Feedrate Indicator (FRI) output
frequency. It must be selected so that the FRI output at the minimum feedrate (see P03.06)
is greater then 1.0 Hz and the FRI output at the maximum feedrate (see P03.06) is less
then 1000 Hz.
This parameter is normally set to 10.0 Hz / Ton/hr

Parameters

Alternative:

NO
YES

This parameter allows for changing of the type of load cell excitation voltage.
When set to NO, the load cell is supplied by a rectangular AC voltage. This mode should be
used in case the load cell is connected straight to the load cell interface of the controller.
This mode provides best suppression of thermal effects in the load cell cable and terminals.
When set to YES, the load cell is supplied by a DC voltage. This mode requires the installation of an external load cell amplifier close to the load cell with a transmission of the DC
output signal on a higher voltage and current level to suppress thermal effects in the load
cell cable and terminals.

connected to wire 114.

P03.09
Min: 5 s

Raise/Lower Response Time

Default: 30 s

Max: 300 s

This parameter determines the speed at which the feedrate setpoint changes when the
raise or lower input is active. The value represents the approximate time, in seconds, for
the setpoint to go from 0% to 100%. This is similar to the 196NT parameter 28 (Raise/Lower Response Time).
This parameter is only active if P03.02 is set to R-L.

P03.10

Source Run Enable

Alternative:

Parameters

The parameter selects the method used to annunciate the error condition when the Run
Enable input is not active. Setting the parameter to IG does not disable the Run Enable
feature but it does prevent an error from being generated.
The parameter is normally set to W2 so that there is an indication on the display when the
feeder is disabled.
Cause of event:
- When a touch screen HMI is used, parameter P03.10 Source Run Enable must be set to
DI 8, which is connected to the stop switch mounted under the HMI. This switch is used to
stop the feeder in the event that the HMI is disabled or disconnected.
Action:
- Check the position of the Run Enable switch.
- Check the wiring to the Run Enable switch.
Note: The Run Enable switch is not normally used with the Stock 196NT display and in this

Parameters

This parameter is used to enable the Remote (P15.23 DI: Remote CTRL) and Local
(P15.25 DI: Local Start) digital inputs. The Remote and Local digital inputs are edge triggered, meaning that their function is initiated by the transition from OFF to ON or, ON to OFF
rather then by their state. This type of operation allows the feeder to be stopped due to an
error condition or a keyboard input, even when the digital input is active.
The operation of the Remote and Local digital inputs is described below.
Keyboard Only - Both the Remote and Local digital inputs are ignored at all times.
Keyboard & Local - The Remote input is ignored but the Local input is active. If the feeder
is in OFF/Maint mode and stopped, energizing the Local input will cause the feeder to run
in Local mode. If the feeder is in OFF/Maint mode and running, de-energizing the Local
input will cause the feeder to stop.
Keyboard, Remote & Local - Both the Remote and Local input are active. If the feeder is in
OFF/Maint mode and stopped, energizing the Local input will start the feeder in Local mode
and energizing the Remote input will force the feeder into Remote mode. If the feeder is in
OFF/Maint mode and running, the Remote input will be ignored and de-energizing the Local
input will stop the feeder. If the feeder is in Remote mode, the Local input is ignored and deenergizing the Remote input will force the feeder into OFF/Maint mode.
The keyboard is always enabled regardless of the value selected for this parameter.
This parameter is normally set to Keyboard Only.

Parameters

This parameter allows the feeder to operate in remote at a fixed motor speed. It is normally
set to Frate Setpoint for normal control and when in this mode the controller responds to
the Analog input or Raise/Lower contacts. When Speed Setpoint is selected the motor
speed is fixed at the value specified in P03.13 Speed Setpoint and the controller does not
respond to either the analog input or the Raise/Lower contacts. Selecting Speed Setpoint is

Parameters

This parameter allows P06.10 Threshold Deviation to be adjusted based on the feedrate
setpoint. This allows the effective threshold to be reduced as the feedrate setpoint is reduced.
When P06.11 is set to 1.0 there is no adjustment and the effective threshold is always
equal to P06.10 Threshold Deviation. W hen P06.11 is set to 0.0 the effective deviation is
calculated by multiplying P06.10 Threshold Deviation by a factor equal to the (feedrate
setpoint) / (P02.05 (Nominal Flow Rate).
This parameter should be set to 1.0.

P06.12

Event: Deviation

Event Group: HI

Default: W2

Number: 05

The parameter specifies the event that is generated when the actual feedrate can differ
from the feedrate setpoint by an amount greater than P06.10 Threshold Deviation for a time
greater than P06.09 Time Deviation.
The parameter is similar to the 196NT Feedrate Error and should be set to W 2.

Parameters

The parameter selects the error condition generated when the motor speed control demand
signal reaches its upper limit.
The parameter should be set to IG (Ignore).
Cause of event:
- Feed rate controller control magnitude has reached upper response threshold. After some
time, message HI-5 (Deviation) is additionally output.
1. Material flow missing or irregular.
2. External feed rate controller wrongly set.

Action:
- Check material discharge and control magnitude (service value Y). At nominal feed rate, Y
should be 10 to 14mA.

P06.14

Event: Memory

Event Group: SY

Default: W1

Number: 01

The parameter selects the error condition generated when the controller detects an error in
the internal non-volatile memory. Reload the non-volatile memory by using the "Load
Default Parameters" function to correct this error. If the problem persists, the controller must
be replaced.
The parameter should be set to A (Stop feeder).
Note: The Load Default Parameters function will reset all of the controller's internal parameters, including Calibration and Trim. After this operation is performed, all parameters
must be reset, the feeder must be recalibrated and the analog I/O channels must be retrimmed.

This parameter is normally set to DI 12 - High (terminal block X4-2) and is connected to
wire 115.

P07.02
Min: 0 s

Belt Motion Monitor Delay

Default: 10 s

Max: 50 s

This parameter sets the maximum delay between Belt Motion Monitor (BMM) pulses before
a BMM error (P07.03 Event: Belt Motion Monitor) is generated. It is the same as 196NT
Setup 17 (Belt Motion Monitor Delay). The interval is determined when the feeder is operating at its minimum design feed rate and is equal to the time necessary for the pulley or
roller which inputs the sensor to make one complete revolution, divided by two, plus ten
percent. Therefore, time intervals for motion monitors mounted to the tension roll or belt
take-up pulley will be considerably longer than those for sensors mounted to the weigh
span roller.
Example: If the motion monitor is mounted to the weigh span roller which make revolution
every 20 seconds at minimum feed rate, the time interval between pulses before the belt is
certain not to be moving is: 20 / 2 = 10 + 10% = 11.
Note: To disable this function if a belt motion monitor is not installed set P07.03 Event: Belt

11.1.1 Event Group: Calibration


CA01

Event: Error LC Input

(P06.04)

The parameter selects the error condition generated when the load cell signal is invalid. If P05.01 Volum on LC failure is set to YES, this condition will force the feeder
into volumetric mode, regardless of the value selected here.
The parameter should be set to IG (Ignore).
Cause of event:
- Load cell cable wrong.
- Measuring amplifier A/D converter is in saturated state.
- Supply voltage is below 19V.
- Error must be available for minimum 3s.
Action:
- Check cabling.
- If cabling is OK, load cell amplifier could be defective.
- Check for either possibility. If scale cannot be restarted after remedy of fault, turn
device off and restart.

CA02

Event: Tachometer Input

(P06.03)

The parameter selects the error condition generated when the tachometer signal is
lost or is greater than 3600 Hz.
The parameter should be set to A (Stop Feeder).
Cause of event:
- Input frequency is zero or exceeds 3600 Hz.
Action:
- Insure that the motor is turning.
- Insure that parameter P04.06 Speed Measurement is set to the correct input.
- Check the tachometer wiring.
- Check the tachometer signal using a frequency counter or oscilloscope.

CA09

Event (Error) Messages

Event is detected in case the primary tachometer doesn't deliver pulses during normal operation.

11.1.2 Event Group: Controller


CO01

Event: Controller Limited

(P06.13)

The parameter selects the error condition generated when the motor speed control
demand signal reaches its upper limit.
The parameter should be set to IG (Ignore).
Cause of event:
- Feed rate controller control magnitude has reached upper response threshold. After
some time, message HI-5 (Deviation) is additionally output.
1. Material flow missing or irregular.
2. External feed rate controller wrongly set.

Action:
- Check material discharge and control magnitude (service value Y). At nominal feed
rate, Y should be 10 to 14mA.

CO05

Event: Volum. caused by LC-error

(P05.02)

The parameter is used to specify the type of error that is generated in the event of a
weighing system failure. This event is independent of volumetric mode.
This parameter should be set to IG (Ignore).
Cause of event:
- Indicates that the system is in volumetric mode due to failure in the weighing system.
Action to be taken:
- Check for load cell wiring errors or imbalanced load cell inputs.

11.1.3 Event Group: Electrical System


WE01

Run Enable input is not active. Setting the parameter to IG does not disable the Run
Enable feature but it does prevent an error from being generated.
The parameter is normally set to W2 so that there is an indication on the display
when the feeder is disabled.
Cause of event:
- When a touch screen HMI is used, parameter P03.10 Source Run Enable must be
set to DI 8, which is connected to the stop switch mounted under the HMI. This
switch is used to stop the feeder in the event that the HMI is disabled or disconnected.
Action:
- Check the position of the Run Enable switch.
- Check the wiring to the Run Enable switch.
Note: The Run Enable switch is not normally used with the Stock 196NT display and
in this case P03.10 Source Run Enable must be set to n/a to allow motor operation.

Event: FCB-Error

(P26.22)

This event is identified if the function block link loaded does not correspond to the
link stored in the parameter.
Caution: It probably does not have the full functionality. Unreliable operating
states may arise.
Possible causes:
- it forgot to load the correct link after exchanging the VCU.
- the name in the parameter was changed manually.
Steps to be taken:
Load the function block link to the correct name given in P26.21 FCB Variant. No
further links can be loaded as long as this event is identified. If in this error state a
link with a different name should be loaded, the new name must first be entered into
P26.21.

Behavior with a power failure and return in regular feeding operation


The controller below the line is only in operation for T_Start = approximately 30 s after adding voltage. The weigh
feeder runs volumetrically during these 30 s. The constants needed for volumetric operation are determined
regularly during gravimetric operation in the IDENT block. Feeding is not possible during T_Start if the feeder
was not yet in operation gravimetrically before adding voltage.

Belt slip identification

14.5.1 Motion monitoring (BMM)


A sensor is mounted on a roll that rotates when the belt moves. That might be an idler or the tail pulleys that are
not driven. After turning on the scale, it monitors to make sure that the signal of the sensor changes within the
time set in P07.02. Then the assumption is made that the belt is moving.

14.5.2 2-sensor slip monitoring


Belt slip on the head pulley can be ascertained and monitored with a second sensor on a carrying idler driven by
the belt.

Appendix

The length (T) of the signal (-t1 or +t2) changes if the belt drifts to one side. Event: Belt Drift is first identified at
low drainage and Event: Belt Skew is identified at greater drainage depending upon the size of the triangle.
P07.12 can be used to finely adjust the position of the sensor in relation to the triangle according to the mechanical setting so that a Belt Drift service value is shown that is equal to zero if the belt is in the middle position.

Belt slip identification


Event: Slip is identified if the duration T_rev measured for a complete belt revolution is in excess of the limit in %
set in P07.07 of a complete belt revolution.

Note
Monitoring needs two complete belt revolutions after starting feeding for synchronisation. Events are not identified during this period.

14.8

Moist correction (MOIST)

You can use the Moisture parameter group to activate a correction in the actual value used for regulating the feed
rate. The proportion of foreign matter (such as water) in the bulk solids fed is ascertained externally and
communicated to the weighing system. The system uses this as a basis for recalculating the weight ascertained
including foreign matter to the net value of the proportion relevant to the downstream step in the process by subtracting the quantity of foreign matter. The mass flow rate is gravimetrically controlled based upon the net value.
In other words, the quantity corresponding to the weight of the foreign matter is also fed. The integration of totalized amount of material of the gross or corrected net value can be selected as a signal source for the impulse
output.

Fig. 12: A block diagram of moisture correction

14.9

The procedure for adjusting the frequency output

DISOCONT Tersus has a frequency output (FRI, P02.17 DO: FRI Frequency) where the frequency is proportional to the current feed rate. The frequency output is already precisely adjusted by entering the ratio of output
frequency to the feed rate in P17.04. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the receiving opposite point. This calls
for switching defined frequencies to the output.
They are set without bulk solids. Start off by setting P17.04. Then call up the Simulation Mode operating mode
with the operator panel or EasyServe (Simulation Mode [44]). It is advisable to store the current parameters.
The parameters for current error reports with the ALARM event class should now be changed so that they can

Appendix

operate without an alarm. The P04.07 and P04.08 parameters should be set to n/a. P03.01 and P03.02 should
be set to OP.
Switch on the feeder. It runs at the target feed rate set on the operator panel or via EasyServe. Simulation simulates an actual feed rate that is equal to the target feed rate after running for a while. The setpoint is now set to
the lowest value (refer to P03.06). The first opposite point is adjusted. Now the maximum setpoint is set (P02.05
and P03.05). The second frequency parameter can be adjusted externally.
Then the parameters previously stored should be activated again.

14.10 PLC Functionality (Optional)


As with a PLC, the functionality for simple additional tasks can be expanded using signal links and function
blocks. The function block links can only be configured using EasyServe. A configuration can be loaded into or
read out of the control using EasyServe. The link becomes active immediately after being loaded.
All signals available in the fieldbus are available as input signals for the function blocks. The output signals are
integrated into the DISOCONT Tersus' standard signal processing via the parameters of the groups 'FCB analog
outputs' and 'FCB digital outputs'.
A loaded and active link is displayed on the operating panel above the 'Help' button next to the information on
the program. The 'Empty' link signifies the factory settings with no additional links.

Fig. 13: Example of a function block link

In the example, a binary input signal, e.g. a DISOCONT Tersus input contact, is read in through the input block
'GP-Din 1' output to the AND gate 'And 1-4' through the delay 'Delay 1' and an inverter. The other inputs are
connected to the constant '1' and a frequency generator 'Cycle 1'. This provides the output with a cyclical signal
when the waiting period has elapsed after the input has been set. The output of the AND gate is connected to an

Appendix

output of the DISOCONT Tersus standard control. The signal must be connected to a digital output via
P27.01 'FCB_DO 01' to enable physical output.
Note: The Schenck Process software DISOPLAN must be installed on the PC to allow working with function
blocks.

14.10.1 Handling the Function Blocks


Function blocks can be processed and linked using EasyServe in expert mode only. The detailed description of
the function block editor is contained in a separate manual.
CAUTION: Links may be created and altered by Schenck Process personnel only.
Configurations can be read out of and into the control. They can be stored on PCs and be called up from there.
Links must be given a name. The 'empty link' as a factory default has the name 'Empty' and should not be used
for other links.

WARNING
Possible loss of functions after replacing the VCU.
Function blocks are not automatically stored with the parameters in
EasyServe. If a function block link is loaded it will be necessary to store it separately in EasyServe. If the VCU is replaced then both the parameters and the
function block links must be loaded separately in order to restore full functionality. Alternatively the additional tool DISOPLAN, that contains both the parameters and the function block links, can be used to make a complete backup.
However, this backup can then no longer be used with an updated version of
the scales program.
It is not necessary in a system with the 'Empty' link (see Cleaning the Screen and Information) to reload the link
after a VCU replacement as no functions are expanded using function blocks.
Loading the function software or loading factory settings or the locking set of the parameters does not have any
impact on the function blocks loaded. In other words, any link that is already loaded is maintained. Any loaded
link cannot be deleted; it can only be overwritten. If you want to make a link ineffective, it can be overwritten with
a new link that has to contain at least one block.
A loaded link does not have any effect on scale operation as long as the outputs for the link are not coupled to
the scale software with the corresponding P26.01 to P27.20 parameters.

14.11 Serial Networks


The individual components of the DISOCONT Tersus communicate with each other serially using one cable,
usually a fieldbus. Few wires are used to transmit the data serially. The advantages of this method are that less
complex cabling must be done to allow the exchange of a lot of signals, that it is resistant to interference, it is
reliable and guarantees that the signals are transmitted accurately.
Different fieldbus systems are used in the DISOCONT Tersus system because of the varying specifications of
the communications behavior. As all of these systems are based on open standards, we wish to refer you to the
standards in question for a complete technical description. This section will explain only a few of the more commonly needed technical details of the bus systems in question.
In order to structure clearly the tasks of the communication system it has been separated into layers that are
based on each other, some of which are subject to different standards. The following table lists a selection
of terms from different layers.

14.11.1 Ethernet Hardware


Ethernet networks are today implemented in a star topology with a switch as the node. The DISOCONT Tersus
basic unit VCU has its own switch with 5 ports, so that each VCU can be considered to be a node. One of the
ports is connected to the weighing processor and the other four are available for external connections.

Appendix

Fig. 17: Alternative 'star connection' link between basic units and the on-site ethernet

The VCUs are connected to the switch by a category 5e network cable at the RJ45 socket on the VCU. The
maximum length of the cable is 100 m. Intermediary switches or routers or optic fiber converters can be used to
make longer connections.

The ethernet switch of the central unit only (= unit on which the scales software is installed) is available for external connection in systems in which several VCUs have been assigned to one scales. The ethernet ports of the
other VCU units (software VIO xxxxx) are not served.

14.11.1.1

Ethernet Addressing

14.11.1.1.1

MAC Addresses

The manufacturer of any device that can be connected to the ethernet assigns that device a MAC address unique
in the world and unalterable. It forms the basis of physical communication between two subscribers. Ad- dresses
in the IP protocol (IP address) were introduced to simplify the administration of small and of very large networks
(WWW). Routers and switches decode the IP address and transmit the message to the subscriber with the
corresponding MAC address. Subscribers in a subnetwork delimited by a router can be reached by means of a
broadcast command to all subscribers. This allows subscribers in subnetworks to be found.

14.11.1.1.2

IP Addressing

Every subscriber in a (sub)network must have a unique address that has been assigned once only. As opposed
to office networks, addresses in industrial control networks are assigned permanently as the subscribers in the
network seldom change.
The ethernet address setting consists of the components:
IP Address
Subnetwork Mask
Gateway Address

November 2013
1272-0000 Revision 0

Appendix

14.11.1.1.3

IP Address

Unique address of the subscriber in the subnetwork. The bits of the address labeled by the subnetwork mask
must be identical for all subnetwork subscribers. Subscriber addresses in the subnetwork must differ at those
parts in the address which have the value zero in the subnetwork mask.

14.11.1.1.4

Subnetwork Mask

This mask determines the addressable range of a subnetwork. All subscribers in a subnetwork must have addresses that coincide in those bits that have the value 1 in the subnetwork mask.
For example:
Subnetwork mask: 255.255.255.0
Corresponds in binary to: 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
In this example, all subscribers in the subnetwork must have addresses that coincide in the upper 24 bits. The
distinction is made in the lower 8 bits so that 255 subscriber addresses in this subnetwork can be addressed.

In private networks an address range within 192.168.x.x is often used.

14.11.1.1.5

Gateway

Information addressed to subscribers with addresses outside of the range determined by the subnetwork mask
are reached through the gateway. As no subscribers outside of the subnetwork are addressed in self-contained
industrial control networks, the gateway address is usually left at the default setting 0.0.0.0.

14.11.1.1.6

Setting the IP Address in DISOCONT Tersus Systems

The addresses of the subscribers in a network intended for process control tasks are generally permanent. Even
in the event that the equipment is not integrated into a network, we urgently advise giving adjacent equipment
different IP addresses in the same subnet. Otherwise, there might be problems in the PC network configuration if
the cable connection is jacked to the PC so that it will not be possible to establish communication (for instance,
via service tools such as EasyServe or DISOPLAN) until the PC has adapted its configuration to the modified
environment.
The keyboard is used to set the address in the DISOCONT Tersus VHM operating panel. Either a VHM operating panel or the PC-based service tool EasyServe is required in order to set the address of the central unit VCU.
Changing the address in a running system can cause complete loss of communication, also to other partners! To make sure, the address should only be set when the plant briefly allows an interruption in communication.

The address is set using the DISOCONT Tersus VHM operating panel as follows:

Continue with step 2.

Search the network for VCU(s) using the operating panel.


Select the VCU to be set and enter the IP address (VCU parameter).
If necessary, reintroduce the VCU into the user-side network.

The address of the central unit VCU is set with the PC-based service tool analogously to the method with the
operating panel VHM. It may be necessary to adapt the network configuration of the PC. This generally requires
administrator rights on the PC.

14.11.2 RS-485 Hardware


Several VCU control units assigned to one scales can be connected to each other by RS-485 interfaces. A VHM
operating panel can also be connected to a VCU for communication across long distances. The same interface
hardware is also used by some forms of the interface to the plant-side controller. The three connections men-

November 2013

tioned may not be connected to each other in the DISOCONT Tersus. For this reason the VCU has three separate interfaces for the different communication tasks.

Fig. 18: Possible RS-485 connections

To avoid electrical reflections on the transmission cable, each of the cable ends - and these only - must be terminated with a resistance. The cabling of an RS-485 network should therefore be made in one link, though short
distribution feeders are permitted.
The total length of cable in a network is maximum 1000 m.

Fig. 19: Bus termination for the transmission cable

The bus termination resistances in the DISOCONT Tersus system are integrated into the VCU and VHM components and can be connected using a jumper if required.

The two data wires in the cable used are a twisted pair cable and are individually screened. Further lines, e.g. to
supply a peripheral instrument, can also be included in the cable.

14.12 Basics of EMC-Compliant Cabling


All units of the DISOCONT Tersus have been designed and tested for the anti-interference required of a device
in an industrial environment. They meet the following specifications:
EN 61000-6-2 (Immunity to Interference for Industrial Environments)
EN 61999-6-4 (Electromagnetic Interference for Industrial Environments)
It is not authorized for use in living areas.
Certain steps must be taken when cabling to guarantee the high interference resistance.
The following figure shows correctly mounted cables.
Insulate the cable in the area of the screen plate and contact the cable screen on the screen plate with the
clamps included. Use cable binders to relieve tension.

Fig. 21: Fix cable with cable binders and clamps

cable binders for the pull relief

Connecting cable shielding braid

Screen clamp

There are several slits beneath each cable lead-through. The cable clamps will press the cable screen against
the shielding plate if they are inserted into these slits. This will correctly earth the screening. M-shaped slits can
also be used as pull relief for cable binders.

Appendix

14.12.1 Thoughts on the Cable Connections


The small number of components makes a DISOCONT Tersus system quite simple to assemble. Nevertheless
you should always check to see what cables are required and whether their quantity and size will fit through the
existing lead-throughs (refer to the table in the section 'Accessories Recommended Cables').
The correct plug type for each input (and output) can be found in the technical specifications of the individual
units, e.g. Phoenix MSTB, grid size 3.5 mm. Each type has a maximum cable diameter that can be used. The
2
maximum wire cross section for Phoenix MSTB plug-in connectors with a grid size of 5 mm is 2.5 mm , for
2
MSTB connectors with a grid size of 3.5 mm maximum 1.5 mm .
Correct cabling is indispensable for optimal electromagnetic interference protection. Please follow the corresponding recommendations.

14.12.2 Screened Cables


The screen of screened cables in generally connected at both ends to GND with a broad-contact connection.
The DISOCONT Tersus is supplied with mounting plates that have an appropriate contact surface in the area
around the cable feed. The outer sheathing is removed from the cables and the cables are then clamped with
the special screen clamps against the contact surface. The screen shielding braid can also be attached to the
mounting plates using a cable binder if clamps are not available.
If the contact point of the signal wires is far from the contact point of the screen, the screen should be left all the
way up to the connecting point of the cable. Then the outer sheathing need only be removed from the cable at
the contact point of the screen. The screen can then be fit as described above.

14.12.3 Unscreened Cables


Unscreened cables can be strain relieved mechanically with the screening plate. There are T-shaped metal
stays on the mounting plate to which cable binders can be connected.

14.13 Checking the Weight Measurement Instrumentation


Most of the function errors are signaled by event messages.
A test connector can be used to perform a basic function inspection if a displayed weight value is evidently
wrong despite correct parameterization.
A simple voltage metering check cannot be made using a measuring instrument due to the alternating voltage
supply to the load cells.
A test connector can show up any errors between the load cells, cabling and the measuring electronics.

Appendix

Fig. 22: Test Connector

The test connector is plugged into the load cell cable input on the DISOCONT Tersus.
Once plugged in, the raw measured value can be read off at the service values of the measuring electronics. It
must be: raw measured value 1.5 mV/V 3%.
Note: If other resistance values are used in the test connector, the raw measuring value can be calculated using
this formula: raw measuring value ~ 500 * R2 / R1 [mV/V].
The measuring amplifier is working properly if the raw measuring value lies within this range.
The measured load display in kg depends on the setting of the scales' characteristic data. A weight value of approximately 75 kg is shown if the parameter factory settings are used.

DANGER
Life-threatening voltages
The device must be installed in a housing that obstructs access to live components if the electronics are powered by dangerously high voltages (U > 40 V) or
if there are dangerous voltages at the outputs. A tool must be required to open
this housing. Alternatively, the device can be installed in a room accessible only
to specialist personnel. If not installed in the housing, the live connections have
protection class IP20 only. Therefore, great care should be taken if the housing
is open. The supply voltage should be switched off before the housing is

Tab. 10 : DISOCONT Load Cell Connection, Wire Colors

The load cell cable screen should have a large surface area, e.g. it should be attached with a clamp to the VCU
fitting panel (see chapter 'Basic Information on EMC-Compatible W iring'). The entire stretch of cable between
contact point of the screen to the VME0120 plug should be screened. The screen is removed just before the
plug.
Suitable terminal boxes are available for connecting together several load cells of one weighing point. The cable
should be laid separately from working cables. The wire pairs IN, REF and OUT are twisted in the cable and
must be screened pairwise. The cable itself will also require screening as a whole.

Appendix

The VHM has a touchscreen for displaying and entering inputs. This allows work to be carried out in harsh and
dirty industrial environments. A lot of VHMs are only used for service jobs since the operation of a feeder often
does not require an operator panel because it is controlled by the plant's process control system. This is why
there is also a portable version available for mobile applications.

14.15.5 Connecting and Commissioning the Operating Panel


The operating panel can communicate with the VCU via ethernet, RS-485 data cable or bluetooth (wireless). For
reasons of safety we recommend using a cable connection for normal operation.
The communication partner (VCU) can be selected at the VHM regardless of the connection type. However, this
selection is made differently depending on the type. The mode of connection must be set at the operating panel.

14.15.5.1

Connecting the VHM Operating Panel via Ethernet

The shortest display buildup time and change times are achieved with an Ethernet connection. The connection
can be permanent for normal operation or can be plugged as required for service access.

The connection is an RJ45 plug X3 on the operating panel. This plug can also supply power to the VHM via the
data cable (not Power over Ethernet).

The following example connections can be combined, though for each a data connection and the power supply
must be guaranteed.

Fig. 44: Example connection VHM with power supply via RJ 45

November 2013
1272-0000 Revision 0

Appendix

The cables between the VCU and VHM have to maintain the Cat5e specification. It can either be connected with
a prefabricated cable with a coded jack for the Ethernet X96 socket of the VCU or with cut goods and a cased
coded jack for field mounting.

Fig. 45: Example connection network with alternatives for the power supply

14.15.5.2

Connection via RS-485

An RS-485 cable connection is selected if the distance between the operating panel and the VCU is greater than
100 m and there is no network available. No more than one operating panel can be operated at the same data
bus.

Connection via Bluetooth

Caution: external influences can disturb the bluetooth connection. Safety considerations mean that the wireless
connection may not be used for normal operation. For this reason bluetooth access is intended for service work
only.

November 2013
1272-0000 Revision 0

Appendix

Use the operating panel VHM 201xx with built-in bluetooth adapter to establish a bluetooth connection. Plug the
VCU bluetooth adapter into the USB socket. In demanding circumstances the bluetooth adapter can be connected by cable and installed in a separate housing at a location more favorable for transmission. The cable length
may not exceed 10 m.

Bluetooth constructs a separate wireless TCP/IP network in a separate IP address range. The connection is
established in stages. The connection is selected by choosing the bluetooth communication partner. The subordinate communication layers are then connected automatically.

The range of the bluetooth transmission depends heavily on the physical ambient conditions. Ranges of around
30 m are typical if the partners are within sight of each other (with no glass barrier between them).

14.16 Connecting EasyServe


A computer on which the service software EasyServe is installed can be connected directly to sockets X93/94/95
on the VCU with a standard ethernet cable if this connection can be directly accessed.
It can also be connected to the M12 jack with a special cable if the VCU is installed in a field housing. You can
find instructions on special cables in the appropriate chapter in the appendix.

Note: Using other cables can cause damage to the computer.

EasyServe can also communicate with a VCU via W LAN. This requires installing an external wireless W LAN
access point.

The Ethernet network can also be extended wirelessly with an adapter by installing a WLAN access point. For
reasons of safety, WLAN access may only be used for service work.
We have only shown the procedure here schematically due to the fact that technology changes very rapidly in
this detail.
1

Configure the WLAN access point with the service program supplied with the equipment. Encoding should be
activated. The local regulations for WLAN networks should be complied with. The IP address of the adapter has to
be in the IP subnet of the VCU.

Mechanically install the WLAN access point and connect the power supply

Establish an Ethernet connection between the WLAN access point and network with standard cables.

The WLAN adapter installed in the opposite mobile point provides a wireless network. The IP address should be
set for this network. It has to be in the same IP subnet as that of the VCUs and it has to be unambiguous in the
subnet.

The connection to the WLAN access point should be established in the mobile equipment.

The VCU of EasyServe or a browser is now accessed with the well-known methods.

14.19 Basics of EMC-Compliant Cabling


All units of the DISOCONT Tersus have been designed and tested for the anti-interference required of a device
in an industrial environment. They meet the following specifications:
EN 61000-6-2 (Immunity to Interference for Industrial Environments)
EN 61999-6-4 (Electromagnetic Interference for Industrial Environments)
It is not authorized for use in living areas.
Certain steps must be taken when cabling to guarantee the high interference resistance.
The following figure shows correctly mounted cables.
Insulate the cable in the area of the screen plate and contact the cable screen on the screen plate with the
clamps included. Use cable binders to relieve tension.

November 2013
1272-0000 Revision 0

Appendix

Fig. 53: Fix cable with cable binders and clamps


1

cable binders for the pull relief

Connecting cable shielding braid

Screen clamp

There are several slits beneath each cable lead-through. The cable clamps will press the cable screen against
the shielding plate if they are inserted into these slits. This will correctly earth the screening. M-shaped slits can
also be used as pull relief for cable binders.

14.19.1 Thoughts on the Cable Connections


The small number of components makes a DISOCONT Tersus system quite simple to assemble. Nevertheless
you should always check to see what cables are required and whether their quantity and size will fit through the
existing lead-throughs (refer to the table in the section 'Accessories Recommended Cables').
The correct plug type for each input (and output) can be found in the technical specifications of the individual
units, e.g. Phoenix MSTB, grid size 3.5 mm. Each type has a maximum cable diameter that can be used. The
2
maximum wire cross section for Phoenix MSTB plug-in connectors with a grid size of 5 mm is 2.5 mm , for
2
MSTB connectors with a grid size of 3.5 mm maximum 1.5 mm .
Correct cabling is indispensable for optimal electromagnetic interference protection. Please follow the corresponding recommendations.

14.19.2 Screened Cables


The screen of screened cables in generally connected at both ends to GND with a broad-contact connection.
The DISOCONT Tersus is supplied with mounting plates that have an appropriate contact surface in the area
around the cable feed. The outer sheathing is removed from the cables and the cables are then clamped with
the special screen clamps against the contact surface. The screen shielding braid can also be attached to the
mounting plates using a cable binder if clamps are not available.

BV-H6411GB, 1221
- 272 -

DISOCONT Tersus (DT-9) Weighfeeder VCF, Instruction Manual Schenck Process Group
November 2013
1272-0000 Revision 0

Appendix

If the contact point of the signal wires is far from the contact point of the screen, the screen should be left all the
way up to the connecting point of the cable. Then the outer sheathing need only be removed from the cable at
the contact point of the screen. The screen can then be fit as described above.

14.19.3 Unscreened Cables


Unscreened cables can be strain relieved mechanically with the screening plate. There are T-shaped metal
stays on the mounting plate to which cable binders can be connected.

Limited Warranty
1. Most Baldor products are warranted for 18 months from the date of shipment to Baldors customer from Baldors
district warehouse or, if applicable, from Baldors factory. Baldor StandardE standard efficient motors are
warranted for 24 months. StandardE is limited to three phase, general purpose, 1200 HP ratings that fall under
the Energy Policy Act (EPAct). Baldor SuperE premium efficient motors are warranted for 36 months. Baldor
IEEE841 motors are warranted for 60 months. All warranty claims must be submitted to a Baldor Service Center
prior to the expiration of the warranty period.
2. Baldor will, at its option repair or replace a motor which fails due to defects in material or workmanship during the
warranty period if:
a. the purchaser presents the defective motor at or ships it prepaid to, the Baldor plant in Fort Smith, Arkansas
or one of the Baldor Authorized Service Centers and
b. the purchaser gives written notification concerning the motor and the claimed defect including the date
purchased, the task performed by the Baldor motor and the problem encountered.
3. Baldor will not pay the cost of removal of any electric motor from any equipment, the cost of delivery to Fort Smith,
Arkansas or a Baldor Authorized Service Center, or the cost of any incidental or consequential damages resulting
from the claimed defects. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.) Any implied warranty given by laws shall be limited to
the duration of the warranty period hereunder. (Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.)
4. Baldor Authorized Service Centers, when convinced to their satisfaction that a Baldor motor developed defects in
material or workmanship within the warranty period, are authorized to proceed with the required repairs to fulfill
Baldors warranty when the cost of such repairs to be paid by Baldor does not exceed Baldors warranty repair
allowance. Baldor will not pay overtime premium repair charges without prior written authorization.
5. The cost of warranty repairs made by centers other than Baldor Authorized Service Centers WILL NOT be paid
unless first authorized in writing by Baldor.
6. Claims by a purchaser that a motor is defective even when a failure results within one hour after being placed into
service are not always justified. Therefore, Baldor Authorized Service Centers must determine from the condition
of the motor as delivered to the center whether or not the motor is defective. If in the opinion of a Baldor
Authorized Service Center, a motor did not fail as a result of defects in material or workmanship, the center is to
proceed with repairs only if the purchaser agrees to pay for such repairs. If the decision is in dispute, the
purchaser should still pay for the repairs and submit the paid invoice and the Authorized Service Centers signed
service report to Baldor for further consideration.
7. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Section 1
General Information
Receiving

Storage

Unpacking

Handling

Each Baldor Electric Motor is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for
shipment. When you receive your motor, there are several things you should do
immediately.
1.

Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your motor.

2.

Verify that the part number of the motor you received is the same as the part
number listed on your purchase order.

If the motor is not put into service immediately, the motor must be stored in a clean, dry
and warm location. Several precautionary steps must be performed to avoid motor
damage during storage.
1.

Use a Megger periodically to ensure that the integrity of the winding insulation
has been maintained. Record the Megger readings. Immediately investigate
any significant drop in insulation resistance.

2.

Do not lubricate bearings during storage. Motor bearings are packed with
grease at the factory. Excessive grease can damage insulation quality.

3.

Rotate motor shaft at least 10 turns every two months during storage (more
frequently if possible). This will prevent bearing damage due to storage.

4.

If the storage location is damp or humid, the motor windings must be protected
from moisture. This can be done by applying power to the motors space
heater (if available) while the motor is in storage.

Each Baldor motor is packaged for ease of handling and to prevent entry of
contaminants.
1.

To avoid condensation inside the motor, do not unpack until the motor has
reached room temperature. (Room temperature is the temperature of the room
in which it will be installed). The packing provides insulation from temperature
changes during transportation.

2.

When the motor has reached room temperature, remove all protective wrapping
material from the motor.

The motor should be lifted using the lifting lugs or eye bolts provided.
1.

Use the lugs or eye bolts provided to lift the motor. Never attempt to lift the
motor and additional equipment connected to the motor by this method. The
lugs or eye bolts provided are designed to lift only the motor. Never lift the
motor by the motor shaft or the hood of a WPII motor.

2.

When lifting a WPII (Weather Proof Type 2) motor, do not lift the motor by
inserting lifting lugs into holes on top of the cooling hood. These lugs are to be
used for hood removal only. A spreader bar should be used to lift the motor by
the cast lifting lugs located on the motor frame.

3.

If the motor must be mounted to a plate with the driven equipment such as
pump, compressor etc., it may not be possible to lift the motor alone. For this
case, the assembly should be lifted by a sling around the mounting base. The
entire assembly can be lifted as an assembly for installation. Do not lift using
the motor lugs or eye bolts provided.
If the load is unbalanced (as with couplings or additional attachments)
additional slings or other means must be used to prevent tipping. In any event,
the load must be secure before lifting.

1-4 General Information

Section 2
Installation & Operation
Overview

Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and
practices. When other devices are coupled to the motor shaft, be sure to install protective
devices to prevent future accidents. Some protective devices include, coupling, belt
guard, chain guard, shaft covers etc. These protect against accidental contact with
moving parts. Machinery that is accessible to personnel should provide further protection
in the form of guard rails, screening, warning signs etc.

Location

It is important that motors be installed in locations that are compatible with motor
enclosure and ambient conditions. Improper selection of the motor enclosure and
ambient conditions can lead to reduced operating life of the motor.
Proper ventilation for the motor must be provided. Obstructed airflow can lead to
reduction of motor life.
1.

Open DripProof/WPI motors are intended for use indoors where atmosphere is
relatively clean, dry, well ventilated and noncorrosive.

2.

Totally Enclosed and WPII motors may be installed where dirt, moisture or dust are
present and in outdoor locations.

Severe Duty, IEEE 841 and Washdown Duty enclosed motors are designed for
installations with high corrosion or excessive moisture conditions. These motors should
not be placed into an environment where there is the presence of flammable or
combustible vapors, dust or any combustible material, unless specifically designed for
this type of service.

Mounting

The motor must be securely installed to a rigid foundation or mounting surface to


minimize vibration and maintain alignment between the motor and shaft load. Failure to
provide a proper mounting surface may cause vibration, misalignment and bearing
damage.
Foundation caps and sole plates are designed to act as spacers for the equipment they
support. If these devices are used, be sure that they are evenly supported by the
foundation or mounting surface.
After installation is complete and accurate alignment of the motor and load is
accomplished, the base should be grouted to the foundation to maintain this alignment.
The standard motor base is designed for horizontal or vertical mounting. Adjustable or
sliding rails are designed for horizontal mounting only. Consult your Baldor distributor or
authorized Baldor Service Center for further information.

Alignment

Accurate alignment of the motor with the driven equipment is extremely important.
1.

Direct Coupling
For direct drive, use flexible couplings if possible. Consult the drive or equipment
manufacturer for more information. Mechanical vibration and roughness during
operation may indicate poor alignment. Use dial indicators to check alignment. The
space between coupling hubs should be maintained as recommended by the
coupling manufacturer.

2.

End-Play Adjustment
The axial position of the motor frame with respect to its load is also extremely
important. The motor bearings are not designed for excessive external axial thrust
loads. Improper adjustment will cause failure.

3.

Pulley Ratio
The pulley ratio should not exceed 8:1.

4.

Belt Drive
Align sheaves carefully to minimize belt wear and axial bearing loads (see End-Play
Adjustment). Belt tension should be sufficient to prevent belt slippage at rated speed
and load. However, belt slippage may occur during starting.

Caution:
5.
MN400

Do not over tension belts.

Sleeve bearing motors are only suitable for coupled loads.

Section 1
General Information
Doweling & Bolting

Power Connection

After proper alignment is verified, dowel pins should be inserted through the motor feet
into the foundation. This will maintain the correct motor position should motor removal be
required. (Baldor motors are designed for doweling.)
1.

Drill dowel holes in diagonally opposite motor feet in the locations provided.

2.

Drill corresponding holes in the foundation.

3.

Ream all holes.

4.

Install proper fitting dowels.

5.

Mounting bolts must be carefully tightened to prevent changes in alignment. Use a


flat washer and lock washer under each nut or bolt head to hold the motor feet
secure. Flanged nuts or bolts may be used as an alternative to washers.

Motor and control wiring, overload protection, disconnects, accessories and grounding
should conform to the National Electrical Code and local codes and practices.

Conduit Box

For ease of making connections, an oversize conduit box is provided. The box can be
rotated 360 in 90 increments. Auxiliary conduit boxes are provided on some motors for
accessories such as space heaters, RTDs etc.

AC Power

Connect the motor leads as shown on the connection diagram located on the name plate
or inside the cover on the conduit box. Be sure the following guidelines are met:
1.

AC power is within 10% of rated voltage with rated frequency. (See motor name
plate for ratings).
OR

2.

AC power is within 5% of rated frequency with rated voltage.


OR

3.

A combined variation in voltage and frequency of 10% (sum of absolute values) of


rated values, provided the frequency variation does not exceed 5% of rated
frequency.

Performance within these voltage and frequency variations are shown in Figure 2-2.

Section 1
General Information
First Time Start Up

Be sure that all power to motor and accessories is off. Be sure the motor shaft is
disconnected from the load and will not cause mechanical rotation of the motor shaft.
1.

Make sure that the mechanical installation is secure. All bolts and nuts are tightened
etc.

2.

If motor has been in storage or idle for some time, check winding insulation integrity
with a Megger.

3.

Inspect all electrical connections for proper termination, clearance, mechanical


strength and electrical continuity.

4.

Be sure all shipping materials and braces (if used) are removed from motor shaft.

5.

Manually rotate the motor shaft to ensure that it rotates freely.

6.

Replace all panels and covers that were removed during installation.

7.

Momentarily apply power and check the direction of rotation of the motor shaft.

8.

If motor rotation is wrong, be sure power is off and change the motor lead
connections. Verify rotation direction before you continue.

9.

Start the motor and ensure operation is smooth without excessive vibration or noise.
If so, run the motor for 1 hour with no load connected.

10. After 1 hour of operation, disconnect power and connect the load to the motor shaft.
Verify all coupling guards and protective devices are installed. Ensure motor is
properly ventilated.

Coupled Start Up

This procedure assumes a coupled start up. Also, that the first time start up procedure
was successful.
1.

Check the coupling and ensure that all guards and protective devices are installed.

2.

Check that the coupling is properly aligned and not binding.

3.

The first coupled start up should be with no load. Apply power and verify that the
load is not transmitting excessive vibration back to the motor though the coupling or
the foundation. Vibration should be at an acceptable level.

4.

Run for approximately 1 hour with the driven equipment in an unloaded condition.

The equipment can now be loaded and operated within specified limits. Do not exceed
the name plate ratings for amperes for steady continuous loads.

Jogging and Repeated Starts Repeated starts and/or jogs of induction motors generally reduce the life of the motor

winding insulation. A much greater amount of heat is produced by each acceleration or


jog than by the same motor under full load. If it is necessary to repeatedly start or jog the
motor, it is advisable to check the application with your local Baldor distributor or Baldor
Service Center.
Heating - Duty rating and maximum ambient temperature are stated on the motor name
plate. Do not exceed these values. If there is any question regarding safe operation,
contact your local Baldor distributor or Baldor Service Center.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
WARNING:

General Inspection

Inspect the motor at regular intervals, approximately every 500 hours of operation or
every 3 months, whichever occurs first. Keep the motor clean and the ventilation
openings clear. The following steps should be performed at each inspection:
WARNING:

Relubrication & Bearings

Type of Grease

UL Listed motors must only be serviced by UL Approved


Authorized Baldor Service Centers if these motors are to be
returned to a hazardous and/or explosive atmosphere.

Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that


power has been disconnected. Electrical shock can cause serious
or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the
installation, operation and maintenance of this equipment.

1.

Check that the motor is clean. Check that the interior and exterior of the motor
is free of dirt, oil, grease, water, etc. Oily vapor, paper pulp, textile lint, etc. can
accumulate and block motor ventilation. If the motor is not properly ventilated,
overheating can occur and cause early motor failure.

2.

Use a Megger periodically to ensure that the integrity of the winding


insulation has been maintained. Record the Megger readings. Immediately
investigate any significant drop in insulation resistance.

3.

Check all electrical connectors to be sure that they are tight.

Bearing grease will lose its lubricating ability over time, not suddenly. The lubricating
ability of a grease (over time) depends primarily on the type of grease, the size of the
bearing, the speed at which the bearing operates and the severity of the operating
conditions. Good results can be obtained if the following recommendations are used in
your maintenance program.
A high grade ball or roller bearing grease should be used. Recommended grease for
standard service conditions is Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobil).
Equivalent and compatible greases include:
Texaco Polystar, Rykon Premium #2, Pennzoil Pen 2 Lube and Chevron SRI.

Relubrication Intervals

Recommended relubrication intervals are shown in Table 3-1. It is important to realize


that the recommended intervals of Table 3-1 are based on average use.

Table of Contents

Caution: To avoid damage to motor bearings, grease must be kept free of dirt.
For an extremely dirty environment, contact your Baldor distributor or
an authorized Baldor Service Center for additional information.
Relubrication Procedure Be sure that the grease you are adding to the motor is compatible with the grease
already in the motor. Consult your Baldor distributor or an authorized service center if a
grease other than the recommended type is to be used.
Caution: Do not overlubricate motor as this may cause premature bearing
failure.
With Grease Outlet Plug
1.

With the motor stopped, clean all grease fittings with a clean cloth.

2.

Remove grease outlet plug.

Caution:

Overlubricating can cause excessive bearing temperatures,


premature lubrication breakdown and bearing failure.

3.

Add the recommended amount of grease.

4.

Operate the motor for 15 minutes with grease plug removed.


This allows excess grease to purge.

5.

Re-install grease outlet plug.

Without Grease Provisions


Note: Only a Baldor authorized and UL or CSA certified service center can
disassemble a UL/CSA listed explosion proof motor to maintain its
UL/CSA listing.
1.

Disassemble the motor.

2.

Add recommended amount of grease to bearing and bearing cavity. (Bearing


should be about 1/3 full of grease and outboard bearing cavity should be about
1/2 full of grease.)

3.

Assemble the motor.

Sample Relubrication Determination


Assume - NEMA 286T (IEC 180), 1750 RPM motor driving an exhaust fan in an ambient
temperature of 43 C and the atmosphere is moderately corrosive.

Suggested bearing and winding RTD setting guidelines


Most large frame AC Baldor motors with a 1.15 service factor are designed to operate
below a Class B (80C) temperature rise at rated load and are built with a Class H
winding insulation system. Based on this low temperature rise, RTD (Resistance
Temperature Detectors) settings for Class B rise should be used as a starting point.
Some motors with 1.0 service factor have Class F temperature rise.
The following tables show the suggested alarm and trip settings for RTDs. Proper
bearing and winding RTD alarm and trip settings should be selected based on these
tables unless otherwise specified for specific applications.
If the driven load is found to operate well below the initial temperature settings under
normal conditions, the alarm and trip settings may be reduced so that an abnormal
machine load will be identified.
The temperature limits are based on the installation of the winding RTDs imbedded in
the winding as specified by NEMA. Bearing RTDs should be installed so they are in
contact with the outer race on ball or roller bearings or in direct contact with the sleeve
bearing shell.

Madison Electric Products ring tachometers are a


convenient and efficient way to monitor motor shaft
RPM when using NEMA C-face or metric flanged
or faced motors. The ring tachometers are designed
with a dual C-face mount to fit between your motor
and gearbox, brake, clutch, etcenabling the
mounting of a pickup without the need for an auxiliary
shaft or a coupling.
Madison Electric non-contacting magnetic and Hall
zero speed sensors are designed to indicate speed
by reading rotating discontinuities, such as teeth on
a gear. The sensors send the signal, either a sine
wave or DC pulse train, to the motor controller. A
Madison analog or digital meter is a great way to
display the output. Custom sizes and scales are
available.

Madison Electric ring tachometer kits include a


precision machined ring tachometer with a drop-in
analog or Hall effect speed sensor (no adjustment
needed), four mounting bolts, conduit connection and
a standard 30, 60, or 120 tooth gear.

Application notes
One of the biggest complaints heard on the floor of
plants and factories is the failure rate of nonindustrialized optical encoders. By applying variable
reluctance and Hall effect technology, Madison
Electric pickups are not affected by dust, oil, grease,
dirt, etcas happens with some optical sensors. The
sensors in the Madison Electric ring tachometer can
handle shock and vibrations that hinder most highresolution encoders. Built tough to last in harsh
industrial environments, the Madison Electric ring
tachometer withstands shock, dirt, and vibrations that
stop most high-resolution encoders.
To satisfy single-shafted motors without the standard
NEMA C-Face, Madison Electric has worked with
companies and their engineers to design and
produce customized ring tachometers to accommodate almost any motor manufactured.

Useful in any industry, the ring tachometer provides a


simple and accurate method to monitor the speed of
your application. When used in conjunction with an
intrinsically safe barrier (p/n 9002/11-280-186), the
Madison Electric ring tachometer is an ideal solution
for installing an FM rated system in a volatile area.
Factory set pick-ups insure all the user has to do is
plug it in and run to have an intrinsically safe feedback.
See our data sheets on p/n 9002/11-280-186 for
additional information concerning the installation of an
instrinscally safe system.

Magnetic Pickup Speed Sensor


Analog Variable Reluctance (VR) Speed Sensors are passive sensors
and do not require any external power source. The sensor generates a
sinusoidal output voltage proportional to target speed and inversely
proportional to air gap. The output voltage, depending on air gap and
target surface speed, ranges from a few millivolts at the slowest target
speed to several volts at the highest target speed as illustrated in the
graph below.
The sensor is designed to drop-in at a constant predetermined air gap of
0.005" to 0.010". This unique design provides for an efficient means of
replacing the sensor without removing the ring tachometer.

Machined Steel Sensing Gears


Sensing Gears are available in a number of sizes and styles in both hub
type and hubless designs to accommodate most applications. Madison
Electric stocks a wide variety of multiple gear-tooth and bore sizes as
listed in the chart below. Custom split gears and bore sizes are welcome

Hubless gears are well suited for mounting in limited spaces or when a
motor application has a short stub shaft. Split gears are convenient when
a shaft end is not available to mount a hubless gear.

Definitions
Pitch The distance between similar, equally spaced tooth surfaces, in
a given direction and along a given curve or line. The single word pitch
without qualification has been used to designate circular pitch, axial
pitch, and diametral pitch, but such confusing usage should be avoided.

Pressure Angle The angle between a tooth profile and a radial line at
its pitch point. This has no significant effect on performance of the gear
for exciting magnetic pickups. Pickups can be used with any pressure
angle.

Pitch Circle A circle, the radius of which is equal to the distance


from the gear axis to the pitch point.

Outside Diameter (OD) The outside diameter is the overall diameter


of the gear to the top of the teeth. The OD is used to calculate surface
speed when the gear is used to excite a magnetic pickup.

Pitch Diameter The diameter of the pitch circle described by the


tooth-to-tooth contact point when running in mesh with the teeth of
another gear. This point is roughly halfway between the root (bottom)
and the tip of the gear tooth. The pitch diameter is slightly smaller than
the outside diameter of the gear.
Diametral Pitch (DP) The ratio of the number of teeth to the number
of inches of pitch diameter, i.e. the number of gear teeth to each inch of
pitch diameter. For example, a 20 DP gear has 20-teeth for each inch of
pitch diameter. Therefore, a 60-tooth, 20 DP gear would have a pitch
diameter of 3".

Surface Speed The output of a magnetic pickup is determined by the


linear surface speed of the outside diameter of the passing gear teeth.
Surface speed is normally expressed in inches/second.

THEORY
DESCRIPTION OF AC MOTOR OPERATION

Three phase AC motors are comprised of two major components, the stator and
the rotor. The stator is a set of three electrical windings held stationary in the motor
housing. The rotor is a metal cylinder, xed to the motor drive shaft, which rotates
within the stator. The arrangement of the stator coils and the presence of three
phase AC voltage give rise to a rotating magnetic eld which drives the rotor. The
speed at which the magnetic eld rotates is known as the synchronous speed of
the motor. Synchronous speed is a function of the frequency at which the voltage
is alternating and the number of poles in the stator windings.
The following equation gives the relation between synchronous speed, frequency,
and the number of poles:
Ss = 120 f/p
Where: Ss = Synchronous speed (rpm ), f = frequency (Hz),
p = number of poles
In three phase induction motors the actual shaft speed differs from the synchronous
speed as load is applied. This difference is known as slip. Slip is commonly
expressed as a percentage of synchronous speed. A typical value is three percent
at full load.
The strength of the magnetic eld in the gap between the rotor and stator is
proportional to the amplitude of the voltage at a given frequency. The output torque
capability of the motor is, therefore, a function of the applied voltage amplitude at
a given frequency. When operated below base (rated) speed, AC motors run in
the range of constant torque. Constant torque output is obtained by maintaining
a constant ratio between voltage amplitude (Volts) and frequency (Hertz). For
60 Hz motors rated at 230, 460, and 575 Vac, common values for this V/Hz ratio
are 3.83, 7.66, and 9.58 respectively. Operating with these V/Hz ratios generally
yields optimum torque capability. Operating at lower ratio values results in lower
torque and power capability. Operating at higher ratio values will cause the motor
to overheat. Most standard motors are capable of providing full torque output from
3 to 60 Hz. However, at lower speeds, where motor cooling fans become less
effective, supplemental cooling may be needed to operate at full torque output
continuously.
If the frequency applied to the motor is increased while the voltage remains constant,
torque capability will decrease as speed increases. This will cause the horsepower
capability of the motor to remain approximately constant. Motors run in this mode
when operated above base speed, where drive output voltage is limited by the
input line voltage. This operating range is known as the constant horsepower
range. The typical maximum range for constant horsepower is about 2.3 to 1
(60 to 140 Hz). The diagram below depicts the characteristics of a typical AC
induction motor with a 60 Hz base speed.

WARNING!

Consult motor manufacturer before operating motor and/or driven equipment


above base speed.

VARIABLE TORQUE VS. CONSTANT TORQUE

Variable frequency drives, and the loads they are applied to, can generally be
divided into two groups: constant torque and variable torque. Constant torque loads
include: vibrating conveyors, punch presses, rock crushers, machine tools, and
just about every other application that is not considered variable torque. Variable
torque loads include centrifugal pumps and fans, which make up the majority of
HVAC applications.
Variable torque loads are governed by the afnity laws, which dene the relationships
between speed, ow, torque and horsepower. The diagram below illustrates these
relationships:

% SPEED

Variable torque refers to the fact that the torque required varies with the square of
the speed. Also, the horsepower required varies with the cube of the speed, resulting
in a large reduction in horsepower for even a small reduction in speed. It is easily
seen that substantial energy savings can be achieved by reducing the speed of a
fan or pump. For example, reducing the speed to 50% results in a 50 HP motor
having to produce only 12.5% of rated horsepower, or 6.25 HP.

15

Table of Contents
Variable torque drives usually have a low overload capacity (110% - 120% for
60 seconds), because variable torque applications rarely experience overload
conditions. To optimize efciency and energy savings, variable torque drives are
usually programmed to follow a variable V/Hz ratio.
The term constant torque is not entirely accurate in terms of the actual torque
required for an application. Many constant torque applications have reciprocating
loads, such as vibrating conveyors and punch presses, where the rotational motion
of the motor is being converted to a linear motion. In such cases, the torque required
can vary greatly at different points in the cycle. For constant torque loads, this
uctuation in torque is not a direct function of speed, as it is with a variable torque
load. As a result, constant torque drives typically have a high overload rating (150%
for 60 seconds) in order to handle the higher peak torque demands. To achieve
maximum torque, constant torque drives follow a constant V/Hz ratio.
Both MC Series product lines (MC1000 and MC3000) have full overload capacity
(150% for 60 seconds, 180% for 30 seconds), so that either one can be used for either
type of application. The V/Hz ratio can also be changed to optimize performance
for either type of application.

DRIVE FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

The MC Series is a 16 bit microprocessor based, keypad programmable, variable


speed AC motor drive. There are four major sections: an input diode bridge and
lter, a power board, a control board, and an output intelligent power module.

6.2.1

DRIVE OPERATION

Incoming AC line voltage is converted to a pulsating DC voltage by the input diode


bridge. The DC voltage is supplied to the bus lter capacitors through a charge
circuit which limits inrush current to the capacitors during power-up. The pulsating DC
voltage is ltered by the bus capacitors which reduces the ripple level. The ltered
DC voltage enters the inverter section of the drive, composed of six output intelligent
insulated gate bi-polar transistors (IGBTs) which make up the three output legs of
the drive. Each leg has one intelligent IGBT connected to the positive bus voltage
and one connected to the negative bus voltage. Alternately switching on each leg,
the intelligent IGBT produces an alternating voltage on each of the corresponding
motor windings. By switching each output intelligent IGBT at a very high frequency
(known as the carrier frequency) for varying time intervals, the inverter is able to
produce a smooth, three phase, sinusoidal output current wave which optimizes
motor performance.

6.2.2

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The control section consists of a control board with a 16 bit microprocessor, keypad
and display. Drive programming is accomplished via the keypad or the serial
communications port. During operation the drive can be controlled via the keypad,
by control devices wired to the control terminal strip, or by the serial communications
port. The Power Board contains the control and protection circuits which govern
the six output IGBTs. The Power Board also contains a charging circuit for the bus
lter capacitors, a motor current feedback circuit, a voltage feedback circuit, and a
fault signal circuit. The drive has several built in protection circuits. These include
phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground short circuit protection, high and low line
voltage protection, protection against excessive ambient temperature, and protection
against continuous excessive output current. Activation of any of these circuits will
cause the drive to shut down in a fault condition.

6.2.3

MC1000 INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

The drive has two analog inputs (0-10 VDC and 4-20 mA) that can be used for
speed reference, PID set point reference, or PID feedback. A speed potentiometer
(10,000 Ohm) can be used with the 0-10 VDC input.
There are also two analog outputs: one is proportional to speed (frequency), and
the other is proportional to load.
The drive has three programmable outputs for status indication: one Form C relay
and two open-collector outputs.
NOTE: Models rated above 30 Hp at 200/240 Vac and 60 Hp at 400/480 Vac have
a second Form C relay.

INSTALLATION
WARNING!

DRIVES MUST NOT BE INSTALLED WHERE SUBJECTED TO ADVERSE


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! DRIVES MUST NOT BE INSTALLED
WHERE SUBJECTED TO: COMBUSTIBLE, OILY, OR HAZARDOUS VAPORS
OR DUST; EXCESSIVE MOISTURE OR DIRT; STRONG VIBRATION;
EXCESSIVE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. CONSULT AC TECHNOLOGY FOR
MORE INFORMATION ON THE SUITABILITY OF A DRIVE TO A PARTICULAR
ENVIRONMENT.
The drive should be mounted on a smooth vertical surface capable of safely
supporting the unit without vibrating. The LCD display has an optimum eld of view,
this should be considered when determining the mounting position.
Chassis models must be installed in an electrical enclosure which will provide
complete mechanical protection and maintain uniform internal temperature within the
drives ambient operating temperature rating. All drive models MUST be mounted
in a vertical position for proper heatsink cooling.
Maintain a minimum spacing around the drive as follows:

All drive models MUST be mounted in a vertical position for proper heatsink cooling.
Fans or blowers should be used to insure proper cooling in tight quarters. Do not
mount drives above other drives or heat producing equipment that would
impede the cooling of the drive. Note the ambient operating temperature ratings
for each drive model.
If it is necessary to drill or cut the drive enclosure or panel, extreme care must be
taken to avoid damaging drive components or contaminating the drive with metal
fragments (which cause shorting of electrical circuits). Cover drive components
with a clean cloth to keep out metal chips and other debris. Use a vacuum cleaner
to clean drive components after drilling, even if chips do not appear to be present.
Do not attempt to use positive air pressure to blow chips out of drive, as this tends
to lodge debris under electronic components. Contaminating the drive with metal
chips can cause drive failure and will void the warranty.The MC1000 Series is UL
approved for solid state motor overload protection. Therefore, a separate thermal
overload relay is not required for single motor applications. In applications where
one drive is operating more than one motor, a separate thermal overload relay is
required for each motor per NEC.

7.1

INSTALLATION AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF STORAGE

WARNING!

Severe damage to the drive can result if it is operated after a long period of
storage or inactivity without reforming the DC bus capacitors!
If input power has not been applied to the drive for a period of time exceeding
three years (due to storage, etc), the electrolytic DC bus capacitors within the drive
can change internally, resulting in excessive leakage current. This can result in
premature failure of the capacitors if the drive is operated after such a long period
of inactivity or storage.
In order to reform the capacitors and prepare the drive for operation after a long
period of inactivity, apply input power to the drive for 8 hours prior to actually operating
the drive/motor system.

7.2

EXPLOSION PROOF APPLICATIONS

INPUT AC REQUIREMENTS
WARNING!

Hazard of electrical shock! Disconnect incoming power and wait three minutes
before servicing the drive. Capacitors retain charge after power is removed.

8.1

INPUT AC POWER REQUIREMENTS

8.1.1

VOLTAGE

The input voltage must match the drives nameplate voltage rating. Voltage
uctuation must not vary by greater than 10% over voltage or 15% under voltage.
NOTE: Drives with dual rated input voltage must be programmed for the proper
supply voltage. Refer to Parameter 0 - LINE VOLTS in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION
OF PARAMETERS.
The UL le for this drive shows that it is suitable for use on a circuit capable of
delivering not more than 200,000 RMS symmetrical amperes, at the drives rated
voltage. The CSA le identies a short-circuit withstand rating of 5,000 RMS
symmetrical amperes at the drives rated voltage.
Three phase voltage imbalance must be less than 2.0% phase to phase. Excessive
phase to phase imbalance can cause severe damage to the drives power
components.
Motor voltage should match line voltage in normal applications. The drives maximum
output voltage will equal the input voltage. Use extreme caution when using a motor
with a voltage rating which is different from the input line voltage.

8.1.2

SUPPLY TRANSFORMER kVA RATINGS

If the kVA rating of the AC supply transformer is greater than ten times the input
kVA rating of the drive, a drive isolation transformer, or a 2 - 3% input line reactor
(also known as a choke) must be added.

8.2

INPUT FUSING AND DISCONNECT REQUIREMENTS

A circuit breaker or a disconnect switch with fuses must be provided in accordance


with the National Electric Code (NEC) and all local codes.
The MC1000 drive is capable of withstanding up to 150% current overload for 60
seconds. Select a fuse or magnetic trip circuit breaker rated at 1.5 times the input
current rating of the drive (the minimum size should be 10 amps, regardless of input
current rating). Refer to Section 5.0 - MC1000 RATINGS.Minimum voltage rating
of the protection device should be 250 Vac for 240/120 Vac and 240/200 Vac rated
drives, and 600 Vac for 480/400 Vac and 590/480 Vac drives.
Use UL Class CC or Class T current-limiting type fuses with low I 2 T values, rated
at 200,000 AIC. Recommended fuses are Bussman type KTK-R, JJN, and JJS,
or equivalent.

function with input voltages of 480 to 590 Vac (+ 10%, - 15%), at 48 to 62 Hz.

10.0 POWER WIRING


WARNING!

Hazard of electrical shock! Wait three minutes after disconnecting incoming power
before servicing drive. Capacitors retain charge after power is removed.
Note drive input and output current ratings and check applicable electrical codes
for required wire type and size, grounding requirements, over current protection,
and incoming power disconnect, before wiring the drive. Size conservatively to
minimize voltage drop.
Input fusing and a power disconnect switch or contactor MUST be wired in series
with terminals L1, L2, and L3 (L1 and L2 if input is single phase). If one has not been
supplied by AC Technology Corporation, a disconnect means must be wired during
installation. This disconnect must be used to power down the drive when servicing,
or when the drive is not to be operated for a long period of time, but should not be
used to start and stop the motor.
Repetitive cycling of a disconnect or input contactor (more than once every
two minutes) may cause damage to the drive.

10.1

WIRING FOR SINGLE PHASE OR THREE PHASE INPUT

If the drive is name plated for 240/120 Vac single phase input, wire the input to
terminals L1 and N and jumper terminals L1 to L2 for 120 Vac input voltage, or wire
to terminals L1 and L2 (do not wire to N) for 240 Vac input voltage. Refer to Section
11.0 - MC1000 POWER WIRING DIAGRAM.
If the drive is name plated for three phase input only, wire the input to terminals
L1, L2, and L3.
All three power output wires, from terminals T1, T2, and T3 to the motor, must be
kept tightly bundled and run in a separate conduit away from all other power and
control wiring.
It is not recommended to install contactors or disconnect switches between the
drive and motor. Operating such devices while the drive is running can potentially
cause damage to the drive's power components. If such a device is required, it
should only be operated when the drive is in a STOP state. If there is potential for
the device to be opened while the drive is running, the drive must be programmed
for COAST TO STOP (see Parameter 26 - STOP), and an auxiliary contact on the
device must be interlocked with the drive's run circuit. This will give the drive a stop
command at the same time the device opens, and will not allow the drive to start
again until the device is closed.

12.0 INITIAL POWER UP
WARNING!

Hazard of electrical shock! Wait three minutes after disconnecting incoming power
before servicing drive. Capacitors retain charge after power is removed.
Before attempting to operate the drive, motor, and driven equipment be sure all
procedures pertaining to installation and wiring have been properly followed.

WARNING!

Severe damage to the drive can result if it is operated after a long period of
storage or inactivity without reforming the DC bus capacitors!
If input power has not been applied to the drive for a period of time exceeding
three years (due to storage, etc), the electrolytic DC bus capacitors within the drive
can change internally, resulting in excessive leakage current. This can result in
premature failure of the capacitors if the drive is operated after such a long period
of inactivity or storage.
In order to reform the capacitors and prepare the drive for operation after a long
period of inactivity, apply input power to the drive for 8 hours prior to actually operating
the drive/motor system.
Disconnect the driven load from the motor. Verify that the drive input terminals (L1,
L2, and L3) are wired to the proper input voltage per the nameplate rating of the
drive.

WARNING!

DO NOT connect incoming AC power to output terminals T1, T2, and T3! Do
not cycle input power to the drive more than once every two minutes. Damage
to the drive will result.
Energize the incoming power line. The LCD display should light and ash TESTING
and then show the voltage and horsepower rating of the drive. The display should
then show STOP > 20.00 HZ which indicates that the drive is in a STOP condition,
and the speed set point is 20.00 Hz:

STOP

>

20.00 HZ

If the display does not appear, remove the incoming power, wait three minutes for
the bus capacitors to discharge, and verify correct installation and wiring. If the
wiring is correct, re-apply incoming power and note the display for drive status. If
the display still does not appear contact the factory for assistance.
NOTE 1: If the drive's display is blank after power up, and it is a model equipped with
heatsink fans, check to make sure the fans are operating (they should be spinning
anytime power is applied to the drive). If they are not spinning, the drive's display
will be blank and the drive cannot be operated. If the fans are clogged or jammed,
disconnect power from the drive and remove any obstructions from the fans. Reapply power to the drive and check the fans. If they are spinning, the drive's display
should appear and the drive should operate properly. If there are no obstructions,
the fan itself may be defective. Please contact the factory for assistance.

Table of Contents
If the drive powers up correctly, follow the procedure given below to check the
motor rotation:
1. Use the key to decrease the speed set point to the minimum value allowed
(.50 Hz if Parameter 10 - MIN FRQ has not been changed).
2. Press the START key. The drive should indicate RUN, but if the speed set
point is .50 Hz, the motor may not rotate. Press the key to increase the
speed set point until the motor starts to rotate.
3. If the motor is rotating in the wrong direction, press the STOP key and
remove power from the drive. Wait three minutes for the bus capacitors to
discharge, and swap any two of the motor wires connected to T1, T2, and
T3.
NOTE 2: The drive is phase insensitive with respect to incoming line voltage.
Therefore, to change the motor rotation, the phases must be swapped at the drive
output terminals or at the motor.

13.0 KEYPAD CONTROL


The drive can be operated in a number of different ways: keypad (LOCAL), control
devices wired to the terminal strip (REMOTE), serial communications (SERIAL), or a

14.0 CONTROL WIRING
14.1

GENERAL

14.1.1 KEYPAD CONTROL


The drive can be controlled by the keypad or by control devices wired to the terminal
strip. The drive will run from the keypad out of the box, requiring no connections
to the terminal strip. Refer to Section 13.0 - KEYPAD CONTROL.

14.1.2 CONTROL WIRING VS. POWER WIRING


External control wiring MUST be run in a separate conduit away from all other
input and output power wiring. If control wiring is not kept separate from power
wiring, electrical noise may be generated on the control wiring that will cause erratic
drive behavior. Use twisted wires or shielded cable grounded at the drive chassis
ONLY. Recommended control wire is Belden 8760 (2-wire) or 8770 (3-wire), or
equivalent.
Torque the control terminals to 2 lb-in (0.2 Nm). Be careful not to overtorque the
control terminals, as this will cause damage to the terminal strip. This is not covered
under warranty and can only be repaired by replacing the control board.

14.1.3 TB-2: CIRCUIT COMMON


The TB-2 terminals are used as circuit common for the start/stop, forward/reverse,
input select, local/remote, analog input, and analog output functions. There are three
TB-2 terminals available on the terminal strip, and they are all internally connected
to each other on the main control board. If necessary TB-2 may be connected to
chassis ground.
NOTE: TB-2 MUST be connected to chassis ground when using serial
communications.

14.1.4 SURGE SUPPRESSION ON RELAYS


Current and voltage surges and spikes in the coils of contactors, relays, solenoids,
etc, near or connected to the drive, can cause erratic drive operation. Therefore,
a snubber circuit should be used on coils associated with the drive. For AC coils,
snubbers should consist of a resistor and a capacitor in series across the coil.
For DC coils, a free-wheeling or y back diode should be placed across the coil.
Snubbers are typically available from the manufacturer of the device.14.2
START/STOP AND SPEED CONTROL

14.2.1 REMOTE MODE SELECTION


The REMOTE mode can be selected by one of two methods:
1. Program Parameter 30 - CONTROL to REMOTE, or:
2. Program CONTROL to BOTH, set the TB-13A or TB-13C function (see
Parameter 47 or 49) to LOCAL SELECT, and DO NOT make a contact closure
between TB-13A or TB-13C and TB-2 (making the contact closure will select
LOCAL mode).

WARNING!

If CONTROL is set to LOCAL, TB-1 is disabled and CANNOT be used as a STOP


switch! Incorrect use of TB-1 may result in damage to equipment and/or injury
to personnel! See Parameter 30 - CONTROL.

29

Table of Contents
WARNING!

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if


parameters are reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after a
RESET in order to insure proper operation (see Parameter 65 - PROGRAM).
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR
INJURY TO PERSONNEL!

14.2.2 TWO-WIRE START/STOP CONTROL


A two-wire start/stop circuit can be accomplished by one of three methods on the
MC Series drive. Follow the appropriate procedure listed below:
FORWARD ROTATION ONLY
1. Select REMOTE mode (see above).
2. Connect a jumper between TB-12A and TB-2 to provide a permanent START
command to the drive.
3. Wire a normally open maintained contact between TB-1 and TB-2. Closing
this contact will RUN the drive and opening this contact will STOP the
drive.
FORWARD and REVERSE ROTATION
1. Select REMOTE mode (see above).
2. Program Parameter 27 - RO TATION to FWD & REV to allow rotation in
both directions.
3. Program Parameter 49 - TB13C to START REVERSE. This will force TB12A to act as START FORWARD.
4. Select the desired rotation by closing the appropriate terminal (TB-12A for
forward, or TB-13C for reverse) to TB-2. This can be done with a toggle
switch or equivalent circuit.
5. Wire a normally open maintained contact between TB-1 and TB-2. Close
this contact to RUN the drive, and open this contact to STOP the drive.

14.2.3 ALTERNATE TWO-WIRE START/STOP CONTROL METHOD

WARNING!

This method requires TB-13C to be set for RUN REVERSE, which will disable
TB-1 as a STOP switch! Incorrect use of TB-1 may result in damage to equipment
and/or injury to personnel! Refer to Parameter 49 - TB13C.
FORWARD ROTATION ONLY
1. Select REMOTE mode (see above).
2. Program Parameter 27 - ROTATION to FWD & REV.
3. Program Parameter 49 - TB13C to RUN REVERSE. This will force TB-12A
to act as RUN FORWARD.
4. Wire a normally open maintained contact between TB-12A and TB-2. Close
this contact to RUN the drive in FORWARD, and open this contact to STOP
the drive.

30

Table of Contents
FORWARD and REVERSE ROTATION with TWO RUN CONTACTS
1. Follow 1-4 above and also wire a normally open maintained contact between
TB-13C and TB-2. Close this contact to RUN the drive in REVERSE, and
open this contact to STOP the drive.
FORWARD and REVERSE ROTATION with ONE RUN CONTACT
1. Follow 1-3 above and wire a normally open maintained contact between
TB-2 and the common of a single-pole, double-throw toggle switch. Wire
the poles of the toggle switch to TB-12A and TB-13C. Select the desired
rotation with the toggle switch. Close the maintained contact to RUN, and
open to STOP.

14.2.4 THREE-WIRE START/STOP CONTROL


A three-wire start/stop circuit can be accomplished by one of two methods on the
MC Series drive. Follow the appropriate procedure listed below:
FORWARD ROTATION ONLY
1. Select REMOTE mode (see above).
2. Wire a normally closed momentary STOP contact between TB-1 and TB-2.
Momentarily open this contact to STOP the drive.
3. Wire a normally open momentary START contact between TB-12A and
TB-2. Momentarily close this contact to START the drive.
FORWARD and REVERSE ROTATION with TWO START CONTACTS
1. Select REMOTE mode (see above).
2. Program Parameter 27 - ROTATION to FWD & REV.
3. Program Parameter 49 - TB13C to START REVERSE.
4. Wire a normally closed momentary STOP contact between TB-1 and TB-2.
Momentarily open this contact to STOP the drive.
5. Wire a normally open momentary START FORWARD contact between
TB-12A and TB-2. Momentarily close this contact to START the drive in
FORWARD.
6. Wire a normally open momentary START REVERSE contact between
TB-13C and TB-2. Momentarily close this contact to START the drive in
REVERSE.
NOTE: If the drive is operating in one direction, and is given the START
command for the opposite direction, the drive will decelerate to 0 Hz and
then accelerate back to the speed set point in the opposite direction.
FORWARD and REVERSE ROTATION with ONE START CONTACT
1. Follow 1-4 above and wire a normally open momentary contact between
TB-2 and the common of a single-pole, double-throw toggle switch. Wire the
poles of the toggle switch to TB-12A and TB-13C. See the wiring diagram
in Section 15.3.

refers to START/STOP control. AUTOMATIC or MANUAL speed control selection
is affected by whether the drive is in LOCAL or REMOTE mode.
In LOCAL mode (keypad start/stop control), AUTOMATIC and MANUAL speed
control is selected using Parameter 28 - AUTO/MAN. When AUTO/MAN is set
to BOTH, the AUTO/MAN button on the keypad is active and is used to toggle
between MANUAL (keypad or speed pot) and AUTOMATIC (0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA,
or preset speeds) speed control. When set to MANUAL, speed control is governed
by Parameter 29 - MANUAL, which selects either KEYPAD or 0-10 VDC (speed
pot). When set to AUTOMATIC, one of the TB-13 input selects must be set to the
desired speed reference, and that terminal must be closed to TB-2. The drive will
then respond to the automatic speed reference. If one of the TB-13 input selects
is set for a speed reference, and the contact closure is not made to TB-2, speed
control will remain in AUTO mode, but the drive will respond to the keypad or speed
pot, depending on Parameter 29 - MANUAL. Therefore, if the Form C relay or opencollector outputs are set to indicate AUTO/MAN mode, they will still indicate AUTO
mode.In REMOTE mode (terminal strip start/stop control), speed control is only
selected using the TB-13 input selects. For AUTOMATIC speed control, one of the
TB-13 input selects must be set to the desired speed reference, and that terminal
must be closed to TB-2. The drive will then respond to the automatic speed reference.
If none of the TB-13 input selects are closed to TB-2, speed control will default to
MANUAL mode, and the drive will respond to the keypad or speed pot, depending
on Parameter 29 - MANUAL. This will cause the Form C relay or open-collector
outputs to indicate MANUAL mode if set to indicate AUTO/MAN mode.
0 - 10 VDC and 4 - 20 mA INPUT SIGNALS
TB-13A, TB-13B, and TB-13C can all be programmed to select 0-10 VDC or 4-20
mA input.
PRESET SPEEDS
TB-13A can be programmed to select SPEED #1, TB-13B to select SPEED #2,
and TB-13C to select SPEED #3. Closing any two of these terminals to TB-2
will select SPEED #4. Refer to Parameters 1-4: SPEED #1 - #4 in Section 18.0
- DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.

32

Table of Contents
JOG
The JOG function only works when the drive is in REMOTE mode, and only when
the drive is in a STOP condition. TB-13B can be programmed to select either JOG
FORWARD or JOG REVERSE. The jog speed is set by PRESET SPEED #2. Close
TB-13B to TB-2 to JOG, and open the contact to STOP.

WARNING!

When operating in JOG mode, the STOP key WILL NOT stop the drive. To stop
the drive, the contact between TB-13B and TB-2 must be opened.
MOP - MOTOR OPERATED POT
TB-13A and TB-13B are used for this function, which sets the speed of the drive
using contacts wired to the terminal strip. Program TB-13A to select DEC FREQ,
and program TB-13B to select INC FREQ. Closing TB-13A to TB-2 will activate
the DEC FREQ function, and will cause the speed set point to decrease until the
contact is opened. DEC FREQ will operate when the drive is in RUN mode or STOP
mode. Closing TB-13B to TB-2 will activate the INC FREQ function, and will cause
the speed set point to increase until the contact is opened. INC FREQ will only
operate when the drive is in RUN mode.
NOTE: If TB-13A, TB-13B, and TB-13C are all programmed to select speed
references, and two or three of the terminals are closed to TB-2, the higher terminal
has priority and will override the others. For example, if TB-13A is programmed
to select 0-10VDC, and TB-13C is programmed to select PRESET SPEED #3,
closing both terminals to TB-2 will cause the drive to respond to PRESET SPEED
#3, because TB-13C overrides TB-13A.

14.2.7 ANALOG OUTPUT SIGNALS


There are two terminals that can supply analog output signals proportional to
output frequency or load. Terminal TB-10A can provide a 0-10 VDC or a 2-10 VDC
signal proportional to output frequency, and TB-10B can provide the same signals
proportional to load. The 2-10 VDC signals can be converted to a 4-20 mA signal
using a resistor in series with the signal such that the total load resistance is 500
Ohms. See Parameters: 42 - TB10A OUT, 43 - @TB10A, 44 - TB10B OUT, and
45 - @TB10B in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.
NOTE: These analog output signals cannot be used with loop-powered devices
that derive power from a 4-20 mA signal.

14.2.8 DRIVE STATUS OUTPUT CONTACTS


The control board has one Form C relay at terminals TB-16, TB-17, and TB-18.
Contacts are rated 2 amps at 28 VDC or 120 Vac.
NOTE: Models rated above 30 Hp at 200/240 Vac and 60 Hp at 400/480 Vac have
a second Form C relay at terminals TB-19, TB-20, and TB-21.
There are also two open-collector outputs at terminals TB-14 and TB-15. The opencollector circuit is a current-sinking type rated at 30 VDC and 40 mA maximum. An
external power supply (30 VDC max) must be used to power the open-collector outputs.
The drive does not have a dedicated power supply for the open-collector outputs.
The Form C relay and the open collector outputs can be programmed to indicate
any of the following: RUN, FAULT, /FAULT (INVERSE FAULT), LOCK (FAULT
LOCKOUT), AT SPEED, ABOVE #3, I LIMIT (CURRENT LIMIT), or AUTO/MAN.
See Parameters: 52 - TB14 OUT, 53 - TB15 OUT, and 54 - RELAY. Refer to Section
6.2.5 for a complete description of each of these status indications.

The parameter value can then be changed using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons.
If the parameter has a numerical value, the UP arrow will increase the value and
the DOWN arrow will decrease the value. If the parameter has specic choices
that can be selected, the UP and DOWN arrow keys will scroll through the list of
possible settings. When the desired value or option is selected, press the ENTER
key to store the new setting. If the new setting is not ENTERED, it will not take
effect and the old setting will still be valid.
If the PROG/RUN key is pushed while the cursor is highlighting the parameter value,
the value will change back to the original setting (if it had been changed, but not
ENTERED), and the cursor will shift back to the parameter name. Pressing PROG/
RUN again will exit the PROGRAM mode. If the PROGRAM mode is entered again
within two minutes, the last parameter that was viewed, or changed, will come up on
the display. After two minutes has elapsed, the password will have to be entered
again when attempting to access the PROGRAM mode.

18.0 DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS
LINE VOLTS

(LINE VOLTAGE)

This parameter calibrates the drive for the correct input voltage, and can be set to
AUTO, HIGH, or LOW.
When set to AUTO, the drive measures the DC bus voltage when power is applied
and automatically calibrates itself according to the measured value (DC bus voltage
is equal to input voltage multiplied by 1.4).
This parameter can also be set manually, using the HIGH or LOW settings. For
actual line voltages of 230/240 Vac (on 240/200 Vac models), 460/480 Vac (on
480/400 Vac models), or 575/590 Vac (on 590/480 Vac models), set this parameter
to HIGH. Also use the HIGH setting for 240/120 Vac single-phase input models.
Refer to the table below.
For actual line voltages of 200/208 Vac (on 240/200 Vac models), 380/415 Vac (on
480/400 Vac models), or 460/480 Vac (on 590 Vac models), set this parameter to
LOW. Refer to the table below.

(PRESET SPEEDS #1, #2, #3, AND #4)

PRESET SPEEDS are only active when the drive is in AUTO mode, and are activated
via contact closures between terminal TB-2 and terminals TB-13A, TB-13B, and
TB-13C. These terminals must be programmed as preset speed selects using
Parameters 47 - 49: TB13A, TB13B, and TB13C.
The preset speeds can only be set to values that are within the operating range
dened by the minimum and maximum frequency (see Parameters: 10 - MIN FREQ,
and 11 - MAX FREQ).
The following table shows how each preset speed is selected using the TB-13
terminals. The terms OPEN and CLOSED refer to the state of the TB-13 terminal
relative to TB-2.

(SKIP BANDWIDTH)

These parameters are used to prevent the drive from operating continuously at critical
speeds, or frequencies, that cause excessive mechanical vibration of the driven
equipment. The SKIP SPEEDS (Parameters 5 and 6) and the SKIP BANDWIDTH
(Parameter 7) are used to dene up to two speed avoidance ranges. The SKIP
SPEED settings dene the starting point of the speed range that is to be avoided,
and the SKIP BANDWIDTH setting denes how far the speed range extends beyond
SKIP SPEED. Setting the SKIP SPEEDS to .00 Hz disables this function.
Example: The critical frequency is 21 Hz, and a bandwidth of 2 Hz is desired.
Therefore, set SKIP #1 to 20 Hz and set SKIP BANDWIDTH to 2 Hz. This results in
a speed range from 20 Hz to 22 Hz that the drive will not operate within continuously.
If the drive were operating at 25 Hz and then commanded to operate at a speed
within the range of avoidance, the drive would decelerate to 22 Hz and remain at
that frequency until commanded to 20 Hz or below. The drive would then decelerate
through the range of avoidance to the new frequency. Likewise, if the drive were
operating at 18 Hz, and then commanded to operate at a speed within the range of
avoidance, the drive would accelerate to 20 Hz and remain at that frequency until
commanded to a speed of 22 Hz or above. The drive would then accelerate through
the range of avoidance to the new frequency.

ACCEL

(ACCELERATION TIME)

ACCEL sets the acceleration rate for all speed reference sources (keypad, speed
pot, 4-20 mA, 0-10 VDC, jog, and the preset speeds). The ACCEL setting is the time
to accelerate from 0 Hz to the BASE FREQUENCY (Parameter 18). The range of
adjustment for ACCEL depends on horsepower. Refer to the following table:

Example: If ACCEL is set to 30 seconds, and the BASE FREQUENCY is set to 60


Hz, the drive will ramp from 0 Hz to 60 Hz in 30 seconds. This is a linear function,
therefore the drive would ramp up to 30 Hz in 15 seconds, etc.
NOTE: The ability to accelerate a given load at a particular rate will be limited by the
output power capability of the drive/motor combination. The acceleration of highinertia and high-friction loads may be affected by the current limiting characteristics
of the drive. See Parameters: 16 - CURRENT, 19 - FX BOOST, and 20 - AC BOOST
for more information.
9

DECEL

(DECELERATION TIME)

DECEL sets the deceleration rate for all speed reference sources. The DECEL
setting indicates the time to decelerate from BASE FREQUENCY to 0 Hz. As with
Parameter 8 - ACCEL, this is a linear function. If the drive is set to COAST to stop,
this parameter will have no effect when a STOP command is given. The range of
adjustment for DECEL depends on horsepower, voltage, and whether Dynamic
Braking (DB) is being used. Refer to the table below:

NOTE 1: 120/240 Vac units have the same limits as 240/200 Vac units.
NOTE 2: The parameter value can be set below the minimum value shown, but
the value shown is the operational limit of the drive. For example, if DECEL is set
for 0.1 seconds on a 10 HP, 480 Vac drive without dynamic braking, the actual
deceleration time would be 0.5 seconds.

46

Table of Contents
If an attempt is made to decelerate a high-inertia load too quickly, the motor will
regenerate voltage back into the drive. This will cause the DC bus voltage to rise,
which can result in a HI VOLTS fault. In order to prevent faulting, the drive will enter
DECEL FREEZE, which halts the deceleration until the DC bus voltage returns to
a normal level. The drive will then begin to decelerate again, and if necessary, will
enter DECEL FREEZE repeatedly to avoid faulting. If a very short deceleration
time is programmed, DECEL FREEZE may not be able to compensate fast enough,
resulting in a HI VOLTS fault.
In applications where very short deceleration times are required on high-inertia
loads, dynamic braking may be required. Consult the factory for more information
on the Dynamic Braking option.
10

MIN FRQ

(MINIMUM FREQUENCY)

This parameter denes the lower limit of the drives speed range. MIN FRQ is
used in conjunction with MAX FRQ (Parameter 11 below) to dene the operating
range of the drive.
If MIN FRQ is set to a value above 0.0 Hz, the drive will ramp up from 0.0 Hz when
given a start command. Once running, however, the drive will not operate below
the MIN FRQ setting unless the rotation is changed, or a stop command is issued
and the drive is programmed to ramp to a stop.
If the MINIMUM FREQUENCY is set to 0.0 Hz, the drive may be operated in ZERO
SPEED mode (drive is in RUN state, but there is no output to the motor). ZERO
SPEED operation can be used in applications requiring the ability to start and stop
the drive using only the selected speed reference. The drive will start when the
speed reference is raised above 0 VDC or 4 mA, and it will stop when the reference
is lowered to 0 VDC or 4 mA. Note that the drive must be initially started using one
of the normal start commands (keypad or terminal strip).
11

MAX FRQ

(MAXIMUM FREQUENCY)

This parameter denes the upper limit of the drives speed range. MAX FRQ is
used in conjunction with MIN FRQ (Parameter 10 above) to dene the operating
range of the drive.

WARNING!

Consult motor manufacturer before operating motor above rated frequency.


Overspeeding the motor and/or driven equipment can cause damage to
equipment and injury to personnel!
NOTE: If the drive is equipped with the High Frequency Output option, the range
of adjustment will be 1.00 - 650.0 Hz.

DC BRAKE

(DC BRAKE VOLTAGE)

DC braking creates a braking torque by injecting DC voltage into the motor. This
parameter sets the magnitude of that DC voltage. The point at which the drive
applies DC braking to the motor depends on which STOP mode is programmed
(either COAST or RAMP, see Parameter 26 - STOP).
If the drive is set to COAST, DC braking is activated when the stop command is given.
In this case, DC braking helps decelerate the motor. This is useful in applications
where a quick deceleration is desired on a load that would normally take a long
time to coast to a stop.
If the drive is set to RAMP, DC braking is activated when the output frequency
reaches 0 Hz. In this case, the drive decelerates the load to a near stop and then
DC braking is used to stop and hold the motor. This is useful in applications where
the load needs to be stopped in a certain position. Similar applications with highinertia loads utilize both dynamic braking and DC braking. The dynamic braking
allows the high-inertia load to be decelerated quickly, while the DC braking stops
the load in the desired position.
Due to heat generated in the motor, DC braking should only be used in applications
where the load is stopped infrequently. In high duty-cycle applications, dynamic
braking is recommended because the heat is dissipated through external resistor
banks, rather than in the motor. When used, DC BRAKE should be set to the lowest
voltage that provides satisfactory operation in order to minimize motor heating. The
maximum voltage available depends on the voltage rating of the drive. Refer to
the table below:

DC TIME

(DC BRAKE TIME)

This parameter determines the length of time that the DC braking voltage is applied
to the motor. DC TIME should be set to the lowest value that provides satisfactory
operation in order to minimize motor heating.
NOTE: If this parameter is set to 999.9 seconds (the maximum value), the DC
braking will be continuous. If it is set to .0 seconds, it is disabled.
14

DYN BRAK

(DYNAMIC BRAKE)

This parameter enables the dynamic braking circuit. Set this parameter to ON only
if the optional dynamic braking circuit board and resistors are installed.
Dynamic braking is used in applications where high-inertia loads need to be
decelerated quickly. When this is attempted, the motor regenerates voltage back
into the drive, causing the DC bus voltage to rise, eventually resulting in a HI
VOLTS fault. With the dynamic braking option, the DC bus voltage is monitored,
and when it reaches a certain level, a transistor is switched on that connects an
external resistor bank across the DC bus. This allows the regenerated energy from
the motor to be dissipated through the resistors as heat, which keeps the DC bus
voltage below the trip level.

48

16

CURRENT

(CURRENT LIMIT)

This parameter sets the maximum allowable output current of the drive, which also
determines the torque capability of the motor. For most applications, CURRENT is
left at the maximum setting, which is 150% or 180% (of the drives output current
rating), depending on whether the input voltage to the drive is low or high (see
Parameter 0 - LINE VOLTS).
The drive will enter current limit when the current draw of the motor exceeds the
current limit setting. To respond to this condition, the drive will enter "frequency
foldback", which commands the drive to decelerate in order to reduce the output
current and regain synchronization with the motor. When the over current condition
passes, the drive will return to normal operation and reaccelerate to the speed set
point. However, if "frequency foldback" cannot correct the condition and the drive
remains in current limit for too long, it will trip into an OVERLOAD fault. If the drive
enters current limit while accelerating, the time required to reach the speed set point
will be longer than the time programmed into ACCEL (Parameter 8).
Regardless of the CURRENT setting, the drive is capable of delivering a maximum
of 150% current for one minute, and 180% current for approximately 30 seconds,
before tripping into an OVERLOAD fault. See Parameter 17 MOTOR OL.
17

MOTOR OL

(MOTOR OVERLOAD)

The MC1000 Series is UL approved for solid state motor overload protection.
Therefore, a separate thermal overload relay is not required for single motor
applications. The MOTOR OVERLOAD circuit is used to protect the motor
from overheating due to excessive current draw. The trip time for the MOTOR
OVERLOAD setting is based on what is known as an inverse I2t function. This
function allows the drive to deliver 150% of the rated output current for one minute,
and even higher current levels for shorter periods of time. Once the overload circuit
times out, the drive will trip into an OVERLOAD fault.
The MOTOR OVERLOAD should be set to a value which is equal to the ratio (in
percentage) of the motor full load current rating to the drive output current rating.
This will result in an overload capacity of 150% of the MOTOR current rating for one
minute. If this parameter is set to 100%, the motor will be allowed to draw 150%
of the DRIVE output current rating for one minute. This distinction is important in
cases where the motor full load current rating is signicantly less than the drive
output current rating, such as applications where the drive is oversized to meet
torque requirements.
Example 1: A 5 Hp, 480 Vac drive is operating a 3 HP motor with a full load current
rating of 4.8 amps. Divide the motor current rating by the drive output current rating:
4.8 / 7.6 = 63%. Entering this value will allow continuous operation at 4.8 amps,
and will also allow the motor to draw 7.2 amps (150% of 4.8 amps) for one minute.
If the setting is left at 100%, the motor could draw 11.4 amps (150% of 7.6 amps)
for one minute before tripping the drive.
The MC Series drive has two options for thermal overload protection. One depends on the
speed of the drive, and the other does not. The diagram below illustrates the difference
between speed compensated and non-compensated thermal overload protection.
The speed-compensated thermal overload circuit offers additional protection
from high load conditions at low speeds, where motor cooling is often less effective
(e.g., motors with shaft-mounted fans). As seen on the diagram below, the drive
reduces the allowable continuous output current when operating at frequencies
less than 30 Hz.

49

Table of Contents
Example 2: A 480 Vac, 20 HP drive is operating a motor at 10 Hz. From the
diagram, a drive operating at 10 Hz can deliver about 75% of its output current
rating continuously. A 480 Vac, 20 HP drives output current rating is 27 Amps.
Therefore, the drive would be able to operate continuously at 20 Amps. The drive
would also be able to deliver 150% of that value (30 Amps) for one minute before
tripping into an OVERLOAD fault.
The speed compensated thermal overload is the factory default and should be
used in applications where the motor does not normally experience high loads at
low speeds for extended periods of time.

FREQUENCY (Hz)

NOTE 1: The above diagram is based on a MOTOR OL setting of 100%. For lower
MOTOR OL settings, reduce the % CURRENT values by the same percentage. For
example, if MOTOR OL is set to 75%, reduce the % CURRENT values by 25%.
Therefore, the curve shifts down, but the shape of the curve remains the same.
The non-compensated thermal overload circuit allows 100% current continuously,
and 150% current for one minute, at all speeds. In the example above, the motor
operating at 10 Hz without speed-compensated protection would be allowed to
operate continuously at 27 Amps, and could draw 40.5 Amps for one minute before
tripping. Without sufcient motor cooling, this can result in motor failure due to
overheating.
The non-compensated circuit is selected by setting Parameter 22 - TORQUE to
CT/NOCMP. The non-compensated setting should only be used in applications
where the motor is properly cooled at all speeds, or the motor manufacturer has
approved the motor for full-load operation at low speeds.
NOTE 2: The operation of the motor thermal overload circuit is affected by the
setting of Parameter 34 - LOAD MLT.

BASE

18

(BASE FREQUENCY)

The BASE FREQUENCY determines the V/Hz ratio by setting the frequency at
which the drive will output full voltage to the motor. For most applications the base
frequency should be set to match the motors rated frequency.
For example, if the drive is rated for 460 Vac output, and the BASE FREQUENCY is
set to 60 Hz, the drive will maintain a constant ratio of 7.66 V/Hz (except when AC
BOOST or FX BOOST are active, see Parameters 19 and 20) from 0 Hz to 60 Hz.
This range is the region of constant torque. If the motor speed is increased past 60
Hz, the output voltage remains constant while the frequency increases, resulting in a
reduced V/Hz ratio. This range, from 60 Hz to about 90 Hz, is the region of constant
horsepower. Above 90 Hz, horsepower begins to decrease as frequency increases.
Refer to Section 6.1 - DESCRIPTION OF AC MOTOR OPERATION.
19
FX BOOST
(FIXED BOOST)
This parameter is used in applications which require high starting torque. FX BOOST
increases the output voltage at lower output frequencies (below 30 Hz for 60 Hz
base frequency), in order to boost the torque capability of the motor. Refer to the
diagram below. The factory default for FX BOOST depends on the horsepower
rating. Refer to the table below:

AC BOOST

20

(ACCELERATION BOOST)

AC BOOST is similar to FX BOOST, but is only active when the drive is accelerating.
During acceleration, the output voltage is increased according to the setting of AC
BOOST, which increases motor torque. Refer to the diagram below. AC BOOST,
like FX BOOST, is used in applications with high-inertia loads.
The diagram below illustrates how FX BOOST and AC BOOST alter the V/Hz ratio
to increase motor torque.
FX BOOST sets the boost at 0 Hz (approximately 15% in the example above), and
as the output frequency approaches 30 Hz, the boost decreases to zero.

OUTPUT FREQUENCY (Hz)

AC BOOST only functions during acceleration. In the diagram above, the drive
is operating at 35 Hz and is then commanded to 50 Hz. The output voltage is
increased by the AC BOOST setting (approximately 15% in the example above)
during acceleration to the new speed set point. Once the new set point is reached,
the output voltage returns to normal.
21

SLIP CMP

(SLIP COMPENSATION)

SLIP COMPENSATION is used to compensate for changes in motor speed (slip)


which occur due to changes in load. In a standard AC induction motor, as the load
on the motor increases, the motor current increases and the motor shaft speed
decreases. By increasing the output frequency in response to the increased motor
current, SLIP COMPENSATION is able to counteract the reduction in motor speed
due to increased load. This parameter is useful in applications where precise
speed regulation is needed, even under changing load conditions. The use of SLIP
COMPENSATION can result in speed regulation of less than 1% of base speed in
most applications. SLIP COMPENSATION is often set to 3%, which is the standard
slip rating of most AC induction motors.

52

Table of Contents
22

TORQUE

(TORQUE CURVE SELECTION)

This parameter is used to select whether the output of the drive follows a constant
or variable V/Hz curve. The following selections are available:
CONSTANT

Use for constant torque applications to optimize torque.

VARIABLE

Use for variable torque applications to optimize energy


savings.

CT / NOCMP

Use for constant torque applications that require full overload


capacity at low speeds (see Parameter 17 - MOTOR OL).

23

CARRIER

(CARRIER FREQUENCY)

This parameter sets the carrier, or switching, frequency of the output IGBTs. Higher
switching rates result in less audible noise from the motor, but the efciency of the
drive decreases as the carrier frequency increases. Therefore, this parameter should
be set to the lowest value which yields acceptable sound levels. Available settings
are: 2.5 kHz, 6 kHz, 8 kHz, 10 kHz, 12 kHz and 14 kHz.
NOTE 1: The 2.5 kHz carrier frequency setting is a variable carrier. The carrier
frequency remains xed at 1.5 kHz up to 25 Hz output frequency. Above 25 Hz, the
carrier is a xed multiple of 60 times the drives output frequency. For example, if
the output frequency of the drive was set to 45 Hz, the carrier frequency would be
2.7 kHz (45 Hz x 60 = 2700 Hz).
NOTE 2: The ability to operate a drive in the quiet (high carrier frequency) mode
is dependent on the drive horsepower rating, driven load, drive enclosure, and the
ambient temperature. At full ambient temperature, operation above 8 kHz requires
derating the drive by multiplying the output current rating by the following factors:
0.94 at 10 kHz, 0.89 at 12 kHz, and 0.83 at 14 kHz.
NOTE 3: If the drive is equipped with the High Output Frequency option, and MAX
FRQ is set above 120 Hz, CARRIER will automatically change to 14 kHz, and the
CARRIER parameter will disappear from the parameter menu. Operation at 14 kHz
carrier frequency requires derating as shown in NOTE 2 above.

START

(START MODE)

WARNING!

Automatic start of equipment may result in damage to equipment and/or injury to


personnel! Automatic start should only be used on equipment that is inaccessible
to personnel.
This parameter selects the starting method for the drive, and can be set for one of
the following:
NORMAL

The drive will start when the appropriate contact closure is


made on the terminal strip (in REMOTE mode), or by pressing
the keypad START key (in LOCAL mode). To start the drive
in NORMAL mode, a start command must be issued at least
two seconds AFTER input power is applied.

POWER UP

The drive will automatically start upon application of input power.


The drive MUST be wired for a two-wire start/stop circuit (refer
to Section 14.0 - CONTROL WIRING). The start command
MUST be present when power is applied for this function to
operate.

AUTO RE-

The drive will automatically restart after a protective fault or upon


application of input power. As with the POWER-UP option, a
start command must be present for this function to operate.

RE-BRAKE

After a fault, the drive will apply DC braking equal to the DC


BRAKE setting for 15 seconds and then restart. This is done
to ensure the motor is stopped during the restart attempt, as
the drive will not start into a spinning motor.

NOTE 1: POWER UP, AUTO RE-, and RE-BRAKE settings are only active when
the drive is in REMOTE mode (see Parameter 30 - CONTROL).
NOTE 2: After a fault, the drive will attempt to restart ve times, and if unsuccessful,
will shut down on a FAULT LOCKOUT. Every 15 minutes that passes will decrement
the restart counter by one. Therefore, 75 minutes after a successful restart, the
restart counter is fully reset, and the drive can once again attempt ve restarts.
NOTE 3: The drive WILL NOT restart after the following faults: CONTROL and
PWR SAG. Also, if an OUTPUT fault occurs below 1.5 Hz, only one restart will be
attempted, after a four minute delay. If unsuccessful, it will then trip into FAULT
LOCKOUT, which will require a manual reset. This is done to protect the drive in
case of a shorted motor.
26

STOP

(STOP MODE)

This parameter selects whether the motor will COAST to a stop, or RAMP to a stop,
when the drive is given a stop command.
COAST

When a stop command is given, the drive shuts off the output
to the motor, allowing it to coast to a stop. The time required
for the motor to stop is governed by the inertia of the load.

RAMP

When a stop command is given, the drive will decelerate the


motor to a stop over a period of time according to Parameter
9 - DECEL. Once the output frequency reaches 0.0 Hz, there
will be a 200 ms delay before the drive can be started again.

RAMP 2

Same as RAMP, but without the 200 ms start delay. This allows
faster start/stop cycles for applications that require it.

ROTATION

(ROTATION DIRECTION)

WARNING!

If TB-13C is programmed for RUN REVERSE, TB-1 is disabled and CANNOT be


used as a STOP switch! This is true in LOCAL and REMOTE mode. Incorrect
use of TB-1 may result in damage to equipment and/or injury to personnel! Refer
to Parameter 49 - TB13C for more information.
This parameter is used to limit the motor rotation direction to forward or reverse, or to
allow rotation in both directions. The parameter can be set to one of the following:
FORWARD

Rotation is allowed in the forward direction only. This selection


disables the FWD/REV button on the keypad and TB-13C
(REVERSE).

REVERSE

Rotation is allowed in the reverse direction only. This selection


disables the FWD/REV button on the keypad and TB-12A
(FORWARD). TB-13C must be programmed for either RUN REV
or STRT REV for this function to operate in the REMOTE mode.

FWD&REV

Rotation is allowed in both directions. The FWD/REV button is


enabled. Rotation can be changed from the keypad (LOCAL
mode), or the terminal strip (REMOTE mode). In the REMOTE
mode, TB-13C must be programmed for either RUN REV or
STRT REV for this function to operate.

FWD@LOC

In LOCAL mode, rotation is allowed in the forward direction only.


In REMOTE mode, rotation is allowed in both directions.

NOTE: If the rotation is changed while the drive is running, the drive will decelerate to
0 Hz, and then accelerate back up to the speed set point in the opposite direction.
28

AUTO / MAN

(AUTO / MANUAL SPEED CONTROL)

This parameter is used to select the method of speed control when the drive is in
the LOCAL mode. The choices are explained below:
MANUAL

The drive will accept a speed reference from the keypad (UP
and DOWN ARROW keys) or a speed potentiometer (wired
to TB-2, 5A, and 6). Parameter 29 - MANUAL below selects
either keypad or speed potentiometer. The AUTO/MAN button
on the keypad is disabled.

AUTO

The drive will accept a 0-10 VDC input signal on TB-5A and
TB-2, a 4-20 mA input signal on TB-5B and TB-2, or one of the
four PRESET SPEEDS. The programming of TB-13A, TB-13B
and TB-13C determines which AUTO reference is selected.
The AUTO/MAN button on the keypad is disabled.

BOTH

The AUTO/MAN key on the keypad is enabled and can be


used to toggle between MANUAL and AUTO control ONLY if
the drive is in LOCAL mode.

NOTE: If the drive is in the AUTO mode, and a speed reference is not selected
using TB-13A, TB-13B, or TB-13C, the speed reference source will default to the
setting of Parameter 29 - MANUAL (KEYPAD or 0-10 VDC).
29

MANUAL

(MANUAL)

This parameter selects the speed reference source when the drive is set for MANUAL
speed control (see Parameter 28 - AUTO/MAN above). The speed reference options
are KEYPAD (UP and DOWN ARROW keys), or 0 - 10 VDC (from a speed pot wired
to TB-2, 5A, and 6; or some other 0-10 VDC source).

injury to personnel!

WARNING!

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if


parameters are reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after a
RESET in order to insure proper operation (see Parameter 65 - PROGRAM).
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR
INJURY TO PERSONNEL!
This parameter is used to select the source of the start/stop command and direction
control. The following settings are available:
LOCAL

START/STOP and FORWARD/REVERSE commands from


the keypad only.

REMOTE

START/STOP and FORWARD/REVERSE commands from


the terminal strip only.

BOTH

LOCAL operation if TB-13A or TB-13C is programmed for


LOCAL SELECT and a contact closure is made from TB-13A
or TB-13C to TB-2. If the contact closure is not made, the drive
will be in REMOTE mode.

UNITS

(SPEED/PID UNITS)

UNITS sets the units of the output speed or PID display on the keypad.
The following choices are available:
Speed mode: HERTZ, RPM, %HZ, /SEC, /MIN, /HR, GPH, NONE
PID mode:

%, PSI, FPM, CFM, GPM, IN, FT, /SEC, /MIN, /HR, F, C,


MPM, GPH

NOTE: If one of the "pid" units is selected, but the drive is in Manual (open-loop)
speed control mode or PID MODE is DISABLED, the displayed speed units will
default to HERTZ. If one of the "speed" units is selected, but PID MODE is ENABLED
and the drive is in Auto mode, the displayed PID units will default to %.
32

HZ MULT

(HERTZ MULTIPLIER)

The HZ MULTIPLIER is used to scale the output speed indication on the display.
If UNITS is set for HERTZ or % HZ, this parameter has no effect. Multiplying the
output frequency by the HZ MULTIPLIER will yield the desired speed value on the
display.
Example: The desired speed units is RPM with a standard 60 Hz, 1800 RPM
motor. Set UNITS to RPM and set HZ MULT to 30.00. This will result in a speed
display of 1110 RPM for an output frequency of 37 Hz (37 Hz X 30 = 1110 RPM).
Also, if there was a 100:1 gear reducer in the system, Parameter 33 - SPEED DP
below could be set to XX.XX to represent the output of the gear reducer (11.10
RPM in the example).

33

SPEED DP

(SPEED DECIMAL POINT)

This parameter is used to move the decimal point location in the speed display. This
parameter will not have any effect if UNITS is set to HERTZ or % HZ. The possible
settings are: XXXXX, XXX.X, XX.XX, X.XXX, and .XXXX. Refer to Parameter 32
- HZ MULT above for an example on the use of SPEED DP.
34

LOAD MLT

(LOAD MULTIPLIER)

This parameter is used to scale the % LOAD display. If the drive output current rating
is higher than the motor full load current rating, the drive will not display 100% load
when the motor is at full load. Setting this parameter to the ratio (in %) of the drive
output current rating to the motor full load current rating will scale the load display
to show motor load instead of drive load. This will result in a display of 100% when
the motor is at full load.
The motor overload circuitry is also affected by this parameter. When the display
reads 150% load, the drive will trip on OVERLOAD in one minute, regardless of the
actual motor current. If this parameter is used to scale the display to show actual
motor load, then Parameter 17 - MOTOR OL should be left at 100%. Likewise, if
MOTOR OL has been set according to the motor full load rating, this parameter
should be left at 100%. Changing both parameters will result in an OVERLOAD
fault sooner than expected.
The output signal at TB-10B is also affected by this parameter. When set to the
ratio of current ratings as explained above, the output signal will be proportional to
motor load instead of drive load.
35

CONTRAST

(LCD DISPLAY CONTRAST)

This parameter is used to adjust the contrast of the drive display and can be set
to LOW, MED, or HIGH in order to obtain the most visible display. If the drive is
mounted lower than eye level, a HIGH setting may make the display more visible.
Likewise, if the drive is mounted higher than eye level, a LOW setting may make
the display more visible.
36

SLEEP TH

(SLEEP THRESHOLD)

The MC1000 Series drive has a Sleep Mode function that allows the drive to cease
operation when system demand falls below a preset level. This is to prevent the
motor from operating at low speeds for long periods of time. It is commonly used
along with the PID Set point Control feature, but can also be used in standard speed
control mode.
When the commanded speed falls below the SLEEP THRESHOLD setting for the
dened SLEEP DELAY time (see Parameter 37 below), the drive will "go to sleep"
and the motor will go to zero speed. The drive will remain "sleeping" until it is
commanded to operate at a speed that is 2 Hz above the SLEEP THRESHOLD, at
which point it will "wake up" and ramp the motor up to the commanded speed.
NOTE 1: While the drive is in Sleep Mode, the Status portion of the display will
read SLEEP.
NOTE 2: If the drive's commanded speed goes below the SLEEP THRESHOLD,
the SLEEP DELAY timer will start to count down. If the commanded speed equals
or exceeds the SLEEP THRESHOLD before the SLEEP DELAY times out, the
SLEEP DELAY timer will be reset.
NOTE 3: If the drive is in a Stop state, and the commanded speed is below the
SLEEP THRESHOLD, the drive will immediately go to sleep upon a Start command,
bypassing the SLEEP DELAY.

57

Table of Contents
37

SLEEP DL

(SLEEP DELAY)

This parameter sets the amount of time the drive must operate below the SLEEP
THRESHOLD (see Parameter 36 above) before the drive "goes to sleep" and brings
the motor to zero speed.
Example: SLEEP THRESHOLD is set to 15 Hz and SLEEP DELAY is set to 60
seconds. If the drive operates below 15 Hz for 60 seconds, the drive will "go to
sleep" and the motor will stop. The drive's display will indicate SLEEP, and the
drive will remain "sleeping" until the drive commanded to a speed equal to greater
than 17 Hz. At this point, the drive will "wake up" and ramp the motor up to the
commanded speed.
38

SLEEP BW

(SLEEP BANDWIDTH)

This parameter allows the PID feedback signal to determine when drive should
"wake up" when operating in Sleep Mode. In process systems that utilize Integral
Gain (see Parameter 78), the drive may cycle in and out of Sleep Mode more often
than desired, due to the Integral function of the PID algorithm.
When SLEEP BANDWIDTH is used, the feedback signal must decrease or increase
(depending on whether the system is normal or reverse-acting) by the programmed
amount before the drive will "wake up". This parameter is set in PID units.
Example: In a normal-acting system, the PID set point is 50 PSI, SLEEP
THRESHOLD is set to 20 Hz, and SLEEP BANDWIDTH is set to 5 PSI. The drive
will enter Sleep Mode when the commanded speed drops below 20 Hz for the
time dened in SLEEP DELAY. The drive will wake up when the feedback signal
drops below 45 PSI (50 PSI set point minus 5 PSI bandwidth = 45 PSI), even if the
commanded speed is still below 20 Hz.
NOTE: If SLEEP BANDWIDTH is set to 0, this function is disabled, and the drive
will wake up when the commanded speed exceeds the SLEEP THRESHOLD plus
2 Hz, as described in Parameters 36 and 37.
39

TB5 MIN

(TERMINAL TB-5 INPUT)

TB5 MIN selects the output frequency of the drive that will correspond to the
minimum analog speed reference input (0 VDC or 4 mA). This parameter is used in
conjunction with Parameter 40 - TB5 MAX to dene a speed range that corresponds
to the analog speed reference input (0 - 10 VDC or 4 - 20 mA).
40

TB5 MAX

(TERMINAL TB-5 INPUT)

TB5 MAX selects the output frequency of the drive that will correspond to the
maximum analog speed reference input (10 VDC or 20 mA). This parameter is used
in conjunction with Parameter 39 - TB5 MIN to dene a speed range that corresponds
to the analog speed reference input (0 - 10 VDC or 4 - 20 mA).
Example 1: The drive is required to operate from 0 to 60 Hz in response to a 0-5
VDC speed reference signal (rather than the normal 0-10 VDC). Because TB5 MAX
is based on a 0-10 VDC (or 4-20 mA) signal, the drive will operate at half of the TB5
MAX value if it is given a 5 VDC signal. Therefore, setting TB5 MAX to 120 Hz will
cause the drive to run at 60 Hz when it is given a 5 VDC speed reference signal.
NOTE: The drive can be programmed for inverse operation so that as the speed
reference increases, the drive speed will decrease, and as the speed reference decreases,
the drive speed will increase. This is accomplished by setting TB5 MIN to the desired
maximum output frequency, and TB5 MAX to the desired minimum output frequency.

58

Table of Contents
Example 2: The drive is being controlled by a pressure transducer that provides a
4-20 mA signal proportional to duct pressure. The minimum frequency desired is 20
Hz, and the maximum is 60 Hz. Set TB5 MIN for 60 Hz, and TB5 MAX for 20 Hz. As
the duct pressure rises, the output signal from the transducer will increase, causing
the speed of the drive to decrease. This results in a decrease in duct pressure and
a decreasing transducer signal. The drive responds to the decreasing signal by
increasing speed, which again raises the duct pressure. In this way, the average duct
pressure can be maintained at a certain level. If the acceleration and deceleration
rates are set too fast however, the drive will react quickly to signal changes which
will cause the drive speed to hunt up and down excessively.
41

AIN FLTR

(ANALOG INPUT FILTER)

This parameter adjusts the lter on the analog input terminals (TB-5A and TB-5B)
to reduce the effect of any electrical noise that may be present on the analog input
signals. This lter works in both PID mode and standard speed control mode. It
should be set to the lowest value that yields acceptable performance, as setting it
too high may cause the drive to react too slowly to signal changes.
42

TB10A OUT

(TERMINAL TB-10A OUTPUT)

The analog output signal at TB-10A is proportional to the output frequency of the
drive. This parameter selects whether that signal is 0-10 VDC or 2-10 VDC. The
2-10 VDC signal can be converted to a 4-20 mA signal by connecting a resistor
in series with the signal such that the total load resistance is 500 Ohms. If set to
NONE, the function is disabled.
NOTE: This output cannot be used with loop-powered devices that derive power
from a 4-20 mA signal.
43

@ TB10A

(TERMINAL TB-10A SCALING)

This parameter scales the analog output signal at TB-10A. This setting is the output
frequency that is indicated when the TB-10A output measures 10VDC.
Example: The drive is part of a control system that requires a 0-5 VDC signal
(rather than 0-10 VDC) that is proportional to 0-60 Hz output frequency. The output
signal is linear, so setting this parameter to 120 Hz would yield 10 VDC at 120 Hz,
and 5 VDC at 60 Hz.
44

TB10B OUT

(TERMINAL TB-10B OUTPUT)

The analog output signal at TB-10B is proportional to the drive load. This parameter
selects whether that signal is 0-10 VDC or 2-10 VDC. The 2-10 VDC signal can
be converted to a 4-20 mA signal by connecting a resistor in series with the signal
such that the total load resistance is 500 Ohms.
NOTE: This output cannot be used with loop-powered devices that derive power
from a 4-20 mA signal.
45

@ TB10B

(TERMINAL TB-10B SCALING)

This parameter scales the analog output signal at TB-10B. This setting is the load
(in %) that is indicated when the TB-10B output measures 10 VDC.
Example: The drive is part of a control system that requires a 0-10 VDC signal to
indicate 0-150% drive load. If this parameter were set to 150%, the drive would
output 10 VDC at 150% load (and about 6.7 VDC at 100% load).
NOTE: The output signal at TB-10B is affected by the setting of Parameter 34
- LOAD MLT.

momentary contact closure to RUN in forward.

50

TB13D

(TB-13D FUNCTION)

WARNING!

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if


parameters are reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after a
RESET in order to insure proper operation (see Parameter 65 - PROGRAM).
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR
INJURY TO PERSONNEL!

TB14 OUT

(TB-14 OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT)

This parameter sets the open-collector output indication for terminal TB-14.
The following conditions can be selected:
NONE

This setting disables the output.

RUN

The relay energizes when the drive is given a START command,


and remains energized until: a STOP command is given and
the output frequency has decelerated to 0.5 Hz, the drive has
tripped, or the input voltage is removed. Note that this relay
indicates only that the drive is in the RUN mode. It does not
necessarily indicate that the motor is turning.

FAULT

The relay energizes when input voltage is applied to the


drive and remains energized until the drive trips into a fault
condition, or input voltage is removed.

/ FAULT

INVERSE FAULT - The relay energizes when the drive trips


into a fault condition, and remains energized until the fault
condition is cleared.

LOCK

FAULT LOCKOUT - This relay is used when the drive is


programmed to automatically restart after a fault. The relay
energizes when input voltage is applied to the drive and
remains energized until the drive has faulted and unsuccessfully
attempted ve restarts, or input voltage is removed.

@ SPEED

AT SPEED - The relay energizes when the drive reaches the


speed set point. To avoid a chattering relay (energizing and
de-energizing), due to small uctuations in speed, the relay will
remain energized as long as the actual speed is within + 3 Hz
of the speed set point.

ABOVE #3

ABOVE SPEED #3 - The relay energizes when the output


frequency exceeds the SPEED #3 value, and de-energizes
when the output frequency returns to a value lower than the
SPEED #3 value. See Parameter 3 - SPEED #3 in Section
18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.

I LIMIT

CURRENT LIMIT - The relay energizes when the drive is


operating in current limit. Once the current limit relay is
energized, it remains energized for a minimum of 500ms,
regardless of whether the drive is still in current limit. At the
end of the 500ms interval, the relay will de-energize if the drive
is no longer in current limit. See Parameter 16 - CURRENT in
Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.

AUT/MAN

AUTO/MANUAL MODE - The relay energizes when the drive


is in the AUTOMATIC mode, and de-energizes in the MANUAL
mode. Refer to Section 14.2.5 - SPEED REFERENCE
SELECTION.

FLWR PR

FOLLOWER PRESENT - The relay energizes when the analog


input reference signal at TB-5B is greater than 2 mA, and deenergizes if the signal falls below 2 mA.

REVERSE

The relay energizes when Reverse direction is selected, and


de-energizes when Forward direction is selected.

62

Table of Contents
MIN/MAX ALARM The relay energizes when the feedback signal (in PID mode) or
the speed reference signal (in open-loop speed mode) is within
the limits set by MIN ALARM and MAX ALARM (Parameters
81 and 82), and de-energizes when the signal falls below the
MIN ALARM setting or exceeds the MAX ALARM setting.
INV MIN/MAX A

INVERSE MIN/MAX ALARM - The relay de-energizes when the


feedback signal (in PID mode) or the speed reference signal (in
open-loop speed mode) is within the limits set by MIN ALARM
and MAX ALARM (Parameters 81 and 82), and energizes when
the signal falls below the MIN ALARM setting or exceeds the
MAX ALARM setting.

MIN ALARM

The relay de-energizes when the feedback signal (in PID mode)
or the speed reference signal (in open-loop speed mode)
equals or exceeds the MIN ALARM setting (Parameter 81),
and energizes when the signal falls below the MIN ALARM
setting.

INV MIN ALARM

INVERSE MIN ALARM - The relay energizes when the feedback


signal (in PID mode) or the speed reference signal (in openloop speed mode) equals or exceeds the MIN ALARM setting
(Parameter 81), and de-energizes when the signal falls below
the MIN ALARM setting.

MAX ALARM

The relay de-energizes when the feedback signal (in PID mode)
or the speed reference signal (in open-loop speed mode) is less
than or equal to the MAX ALARM setting (Parameter 82), and
energizes when the signal exceeds the MAX ALARM setting.

INV MAX ALARM

INVERSE MAX ALARM - The relay energizes when the


feedback signal (in PID mode) or the speed reference signal
(in open-loop speed mode) is less than or equal to the MAX
ALARM setting (Parameter 82), and de-energizes when the
signal exceeds the MAX ALARM setting.

SLEEP

The relay energizes when the drive is in SLEEP MODE. See


Parameters 36 - 38.

SPD = 0HZ

The relay energizes when there is no output to the motor, for


any reason, such as: drive is in STOP mode, drive is in RUN
mode but the speed command is 0 Hz, drive is in SLEEP mode,
drive has tripped into a fault, etc.

The open-collector output circuit is a current-sinking type rated at 30 VDC and 40


mA maximum. An external power supply (30 VDC max.) must be used to power
the open-collector outputs. The drive does not have a dedicated power supply for
the open-collector outputs.
53

TB15 OUT

(TB-15 OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT)

This parameter sets the open-collector output indication for terminal TB-15. It has
the same functionality as Parameter 52 - TB14 OUT above.
54

RELAY

(RELAY FUNCTION)

The control board has one set of FORM C relay contacts at TB-16, 17, and 18
that can be programmed for the same indications as the open-collector outputs
described in parameter 52.

63

Table of Contents
The FORM C contacts at TB-16, 17, and 18 are rated 2 amps at 28 VDC or 120 Vac.
Control wiring diagrams show relays in the rest state (coils NOT energized).
NOTE: Models rated above 30 Hp at 200/240 Vac and 60 Hp at 400/480 Vac have a
second Form C relay at terminals TB-19, TB-20, and TB-21. This relay is controlled
by Parameter 52 - TB14 OUT.
55

TB5B LOSS

(LOSS OF FOLLOWER ACTION)

This parameter selects the action taken by the drive if the follower signal is lost at
TB-5B. This function is only active if the follower signal is 4-20 mA. The signal is
considered lost if it falls below 2 mA.
FAULT

The drive will trip into a FOLLOWER fault condition.

SP #4

The drive will go to SPEED #4 (Parameter 4).

NONE
57

The drive will go to the programmed minimum speed.


SERIAL

(SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS)

This parameter is used to activate serial communications. When using this feature,
the drive can communicate with a personal computer (PC), programmable logic
controller (PLC), or other external device that utilizes RS-485 serial communications
for control. The serial interface may be used to read present parameter settings
(uploading to the control device), write new parameter settings (downloading from
the control device), monitor present drive activity, and control drive activity. The
following settings are available:
DISABLE

Serial communication function is disabled.

W / TIMER

Enables serial communications with a watchdog timer. If there


is no serial activity (read or write) for more than 10 seconds,
serial control will turn off and the drive will stop.

W / O TIMR

Enables serial communications without a watchdog timer.


However, after 10 seconds of no serial activity, serial control
can be turned off by issuing a STOP command from any source
(keypad, terminal strip) other than the serial link.

NOTE 1: The keypad STOP button is always active, regardless of what method
(LOCAL, REMOTE, or SERIAL) is being used to control the drive. The remote STOP
input (TB-1) may also be active, depending on how the drive is programmed.
NOTE 2: If a RESET command (Parameter 65 - PROGRAM) is issued through
the serial link, this parameter will not default back to DISABLE. However, explicitly
setting this parameter to DISABLE through the serial link will cut off communication
with the drive.
If developing an application for serial communications, refer to the RS-232/RS-485
Modbus Communications Protocol Specication.
58

ADDRESS

(SERIAL ADDRESS)

This parameter is used with the serial communications feature, and is intended for
use in a multiple drive network (RS-485). The serial link will support drives with
addresses from 1 up to 247.

61

PASSWORD

(PASSWORD NUMBER)

This feature limits access to the programmable parameters for added security. The
correct password must be entered in order to change the parameters.
Pressing the PROG/RUN button on the keypad will activate the PASSWORD
prompt. If the correct password is entered, the PROGRAM MODE is entered and
parameters can be changed.
If the wrong password is entered, the drive will ash ERROR: INCORRECT and
then return to the PASSWORD prompt to allow another attempt at entering the
correct password.
If the ENTER key is pressed while PASSWORD reads 0000, the MONITOR MODE
will be entered (if Parameter 64 - MONITOR, is set to ON), which will allow the
parameters to be viewed (except for PASSWORD), but not changed.
NOTE 1: The factory default value is 0019.
NOTE 2: If PASSWORD is set to 0000, the function is disabled. Pressing the
PROG/RUN key will result in direct entry into the PROGRAM mode without having
to enter a password.
63

SOFTWARE

(SOFTWARE VERSION)

This parameter displays the software code and revision number of the control board
software. This information is useful when contacting the factory for programming
or troubleshooting assistance. This is a view-only parameter, and cannot be
changed.
64

MONITOR

(MONITOR MODE)

This parameter is used to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the MONITOR MODE
function. The functionality is explained below:
ON

Pressing the PROG/RUN key will call up the PASSWORD


prompt. If the ENTER key is pressed while the password value
reads 0000, the MONITOR MODE is entered and parameters
can be viewed (except for PASSWORD), but not changed.

OFF

Pressing the PROG/RUN key will call up the PASSWORD


prompt. If the ENTER key is pressed while the password value
reads 0000 (or any other incorrect value), it will be treated
as in incorrect password and the display will ash ERROR:
INCORRECT, and then return to the PASSWORD prompt to
allow another attempt at entering the correct password.

PROGRAM

(PROGRAM FACTORY DEFAULTS)

WARNING!

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if


parameters are reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after
a RESET in order to insure proper operation.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR


INJURY TO PERSONNEL!

65

Table of Contents
This parameter is used to reset the programmable parameters back to the factory
default settings. This parameter has four possible settings:
MAINTAIN

Maintain parameter settings as they are.

RESET 60

Resets parameters to factory defaults for 60 Hz base


frequency.

RESET 50

Resets parameters to factory defaults for 50 Hz base


frequency.

RST HIGH

Resets parameters to factory defaults for 650 Hz base


frequency. This option will only appear if the drive is equipped
with the High Frequency Output option.

When a factory reset is performed, the following terminals are affected:


TB-1 will be disabled as a STOP input because Parameter 30 - CONTROL will
default to LOCAL.
TB-13A, 13B, and 13C will be disabled because Parameters 47, 48, and 49 will
default to NONE. If TB-13C was set to RUN REVERSE, TB-12A will default to a
momentary START contact.
TB-13D will default to a normally open EXTERNAL FAULT contact because
Parameter 50 - TB13D will be reset to EXT FAULT.
NOTE: This parameter will display RESET 60, RESET 50 or RST HIGH until a
change is made to one or more of the parameter settings. Once a parameter is
changed, the display will change to MAINTAIN.
66

HISTORY

(CLEAR FAULT HISTORY)

This parameter is used to clear the previous faults in the FAULT HISTORY. When set
to CLEAR and the ENTER key is pushed, the display will change to MAINTAIN, and
the FAULT HISTORY will display NO FAULT for each of the eight fault histories.
70

PID MODE

(PID MODE SELECT)

This parameter activates the PID function, and selects whether the PID control
will be direct or reverse acting. Refer to Section 19.0 - MC1000 PID SET POINT
CONTROL. The following options are available:
OFF

Disables the PID function to allow standard drive operation.

NORMAL

Enables the PID function for direct acting systems. An increase


in the feedback variable will cause a decrease in motor
speed.

REVERSE

Enables the PID function for reverse acting systems. An


increase in the feedback variable will cause an increase in
motor speed.

NOTE: The REVERSE selection is not used to compensate for reverse acting feedback
devices. If a reverse acting feedback device is used, program Parameters 75 and 76
- FB @ MIN and FB @ MAX as described in Section 19.1 - FEEDBACK DEVICES.
When PID is enabled, and the drive is in REMOTE and AUTO mode, the drive will
operate in a CLOSED LOOP fashion, responding to the feedback signal in order
to maintain the process set point. In this case, the set point reference can be a
0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA signal, or the keypad. The SPEED REFERENCE SOURCE
indication in the CONTROL display will indicate VDC (0-10 VDC), IDC (4-20 mA),
or AKB (keypad), depending on the set point reference.

66

Table of Contents
When PID is enabled, and the drive is in LOCAL and AUTO mode, the drive will
also operate in a CLOSED LOOP fashion. However, in this case, the only set point
reference available is the keypad, and the SPEED REFERENCE SOURCE indication
in the CONTROL display will indicate AKB.
When PID is enabled, and the drive is in MANUAL and LOCAL or REMOTE mode,
the drive will operate in an OPEN LOOP fashion, responding directly to speed
commands from the keypad only. The SPEED REFERENCE SOURCE indication
in the CONTROL display will indicate MKB.
When PID is disabled, the drive will operate in an OPEN LOOP mode, responding
directly to speed commands from either the keypad (MANUAL mode) or an analog
input signal or preset speed (AUTO mode).
74

PID FB

(PID FEEDBACK SOURCE)

This parameter selects the terminal to be used for the feedback signal, and can be
set to TB-5A or TB-5B. TB-5A is used for 0-10 VDC signals, and TB-5B is used
for 4-20 mA signals.
NOTE: The MC1000 has only one analog input of each type, so the same type of
signal cannot be used for feedback and set point reference. For example, a 4-20
mA signal from a transducer could not be used as a feedback signal if the set point
is being controlled by a 4-20 mA signal from a PLC.
75

FB @ MIN

(MINIMUM FEEDBACK VALUE)

This parameter should be set to the value of the process variable that corresponds
to the minimum transducer feedback signal (0 VDC or 4 mA).
76

FB @ MAX

(MAXIMUM FEEDBACK VALUE)

This parameter should be set to the value of the process variable that corresponds
to the maximum transducer feedback signal (10 VDC or 20 mA).
NOTE: If a reverse acting feedback device is being used, FB @ MIN should be
set to the maximum process variable value, and FB @ MAX should be set to the
minimum process variable value.
77

P GAIN

(PROPORTIONAL GAIN)

This parameter setting represents the speed command output (in % of maximum
speed) that results from each 1% of error (1% of the feedback range; FB @ MAX
minus FB @ MIN).
Example: If P GAIN is programmed for 5%, and the error (difference between set
point and feedback) is 10%, the speed command output of the Proportional term is
50% (10 x 5 = 50) of maximum speed.
78

I GAIN

(INTEGRAL GAIN)

This parameter setting represents the ramp rate of the speed command output (in
% of maximum speed per second) that results from each 1% of error.
Example: If I GAIN is programmed for 0.5 seconds, and the error is 5%, the rate
of rise of the speed command output of the Integral term is 2.5% (0.5 x 5 = 2.5) of
maximum speed per second.
79

D GAIN

(DIFFERENTIAL GAIN)

This parameter setting represents the speed command output (in % of maximum
speed) that results from each 1% per second change in the error.

67

Table of Contents
Example: If D GAIN is programmed for 5 seconds, and the error is increasing
at 2% per second, the speed command output of the Differential term is
10% (5 x 2 = 10) of maximum speed.
NOTE: Differential gain is used as a shock-absorber to dampen overshoots in
fast-acting systems. However, it can be very sensitive to noise on the feedback
signal and to digitizing errors, so it must be used with caution.
80

PID ACC

(PID ACCEL/DECEL)

This parameter sets the acceleration and deceleration rate of the set point reference
into the PID unit. When the set point changes, this function will lter the input
to the PID unit by ramping the set point reference from the previous value to the
new value. This will help prevent overshoots that can occur when the PID control
attempts to respond to step changes in set point, resulting in smoother operation.
If PID ACC is set to 0.0 seconds, it is effectively disabled.
81

MIN ALRM

(PID MINIMUM ALARM)

This parameter setting represents the value that the feedback signal (in PID mode)
or speed reference signal (in open-loop speed mode) must fall below to activate the
MIN ALARM output (see Parameters 52, 53, and 54).
82

MAX ALRM

(PID MAXIMUM ALARM)

This parameter setting represents the value that the feedback signal (in PID mode)
or speed reference signal (in open-loop speed mode) must exceed to activate the
MAX ALARM output (see Parameters 52, 53, and 54).
NOTE 1: The MIN/MAX ALARM function can be used to start and stop the drive
based on the level of the speed reference signal or PID feedback signal. This is
done by wiring a 2-wire start/stop circuit through the drive's Form C relay or opencollector output, and setting the Form C relay or open-collector output for MIN/MAX
(see Parameters 52, 53, and 54). When the signal drops below the MIN ALARM
setting, the relay or open-collector output will de-energize, which opens the start
contact and stops the drive. When the signal is equal to or greater than the MIN
ALARM setting, the relay or open-collector output will energize, which closes the
start contact and starts the drive. The drive must be in REMOTE mode to use the
MIN/MAX function to start and stop the drive.
NOTE 2: When using the MIN and MAX ALARM functions in open-loop speed
mode (PID is disabled), parameter 74 - PID FB must still be set to match the speed
reference signal being used.
98

LANGUAGE

(LANGUAGE SELECTION)

The MC Series drive can support other languages with the addition of an optional
LANGUAGE EEPROM chip installed in socket U11 on the control board of the
drive. If the EEPROM is not present, the default language will be ENGLISH. Also,
this parameter is not affected when the parameters are reset using Parameter 65
- PROGRAM. Therefore, if a language other than ENGLISH is selected, it will
remain in effect after a RESET.
99

FAULT HISTORY

The FAULT HISTORY stores the previous eight fault conditions that caused the drive
to trip. The information stored here is view-only, it cannot be altered. The FAULT
HISTORY can be used to determine if there is a pattern, or trend, to the faults, which
may indicate a problem in the system. Refer to Section 19.0 - TROUBLESHOOTING
for more information on faults.

19.0 MC1000 PID SET POINT CONTROL
PID Set point Control allows the MC1000 to maintain a process set point, such
as PSI or CFM, without using an external controller. When PID is activated, the
MC1000 will operate in a closed-loop fashion, automatically adjusting the motor
speed to maintain the set point.
PID set point control requires feedback from the process in order to compare the
process variable value to the set point. The difference between the process variable
value and the set point is called the error. The MC1000 will increase or decrease
the motor speed in an attempt to minimize the error. By constantly adjusting the
motor speed, the PID control will drive the process toward the set point. Refer to
the PID block diagram below:

19.1

FEEDBACK DEVICES

A transducer or transmitter is required to monitor the process variable and provide


feedback to the PID unit in order to compare the process variable feedback to
the set point. A transducer outputs a signal corresponding to a xed range of the
process variable. A transmitter provides offset and gain adjustments to allow the
output signal to be adjusted to correspond to different ranges of the process variable.
Typical output signals for transducers and transmitters are: 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC,
or 4-20 mA. The feedback device must be externally powered, as the drive does
not have a power supply for such devices. Program Parameter 74 - PID FB (PID
FEEDBACK SOURCE) for the appropriate terminal (TB-5A or TB-5B), and connect
the feedback device as described below:
POT

The positive signal wire (wiper) is connected to TB-5A, and the


high lead is connected to TB-6.

0-5, 0-10 VDC

Connect the positive signal wire to TB-5A.

4-20 mA

Connect the positive signal wire to TB-5B.

The common, or negative signal wire, is connected to TB-2 (circuit common).


Feedback devices can be direct or reverse acting. A direct acting device outputs
a signal that increases as the process variable increases. A reverse acting device
outputs a signal that decreases as the process variable increases. The programming
of Parameters 75 - FB @ MIN and 76 - FB @ MAX depend on the type of feedback
device being used.
When using a direct acting transducer, Parameter 75 - FB @ MIN should be set to
the value of the process variable feedback corresponding to the minimum feedback
signal (0 VDC or 4 mA), and Parameter 76 - FB @ MAX should be set to the value
of the process variable feedback corresponding to the maximum feedback signal
(5 or 10 VDC, or 20 mA).

70

Table of Contents
Example 1: A 0-100 psi transducer outputs a 4 mA signal at 0 psi and 20 mA at
100 psi. Program Parameter 75 to 0.0 PSI, and Parameter 76 to 100.0 PSI (This
assumes that Parameter 31 - UNITS is set to pid PSI, and Parameter 33 - UNITS
DP is set to XXX.X).
For a reverse acting transducer, set Parameter 75 - FB @ MIN to the maximum
process variable feedback value, and set Parameter 76 - FB @ MAX to the minimum
process variable feedback value. In other words, Parameter 75 is set higher than
Parameter 76. See the example below:
Example 2: A 0-100 psi transducer outputs a 20 mA signal at 0 psi and 4 mA at
100 psi. Program Parameter 75 to 100.0 PSI, and Parameter 76 to 0.0 PSI (This
assumes that Parameter 31 - UNITS is set to pid PSI, and Parameter 33 - UNITS
DP is set to XXX.X).

19.2

THE SYSTEM - DIRECT AND REVERSE ACTING

The entire system can also be direct or reverse acting. In a direct acting system,
an increase in motor speed causes an increase in the process variable. This is
equivalent to requiring an increase in motor speed in response to a decreasing
process variable feedback.
In a reverse acting system, an increase in motor speed causes a decrease in the
process variable. This is equivalent to requiring an increase in motor speed in
response to an increasing process variable feedback. Examples of direct and
reverse acting systems are described in the next section.

19.3

PID CONTROL - DIRECT AND REVERSE ACTING

The PID Set point Control software can be direct or reverse acting, and must be
set to match the system. This is accomplished with Parameter 70 - PID MODE.
When set to NORMAL (for direct acting systems), the PID unit will command an
increase in motor speed if the process variable feedback decreases, and a decrease
in motor speed if the process variable feedback increases. When set to REVERSE
(for reverse acting systems), the opposite is true.
NOTE: The REVERSE setting for Parameter 70 - PID MODE is not used to
compensate for reverse acting feedback devices. If a reverse acting feedback device
is used, program Parameters 75 and 76 as described above.
An example of a direct acting system is one that maintains duct pressure. Duct
pressure is the process variable that is monitored by the feedback device. As duct
pressure rises, motor speed needs to be decreased to maintain the pressure. A
direct acting PID control will command a decrease in motor speed in response to
an increasing process variable feedback.
An example of a reverse acting system is one that maintains water temperature in
a cooling tower. Water temperature is the process variable that is monitored by the
feedback device. As the water temperature rises, motor speed needs to be increased
to lower the temperature of the water. A reverse acting PID control will command an
increase in motor speed in response to an increasing process variable feedback.

71

19.4

SET POINT REFERENCE SOURCES

The set point reference input can be one of the following:


1. Keypad
2. 4-20 mA signal at TB-5B
3. 0-10 VDC signal at TB-5A
4. Potentiometer signal at TB-5A
In order to use TB-5A or TB-5B for a set point input, one of the terminals must be
programmed for the appropriate signal. Closing the TB-13 terminal to TB-2 will then
select that signal as the set point reference. If the contact closure is not made to
TB-2, the set point reference source will default to the keypad. See Parameters 47
- TB13A, 48 - TB13B, and 49 - TB13C.
Remote set point reference inputs at TB-5A and TB-5B can only be used if that
terminal is NOT being used for the process feedback signal from a transducer. The
MC1000 has only one analog input of each type, so the same type of signal cannot
be used for transducer feedback and set point reference. For example, a 4-20 mA
signal from a transducer could not be used as a feedback signal if the set point is
being controlled by a 4-20 mA signal from a PLC.

19.5

TUNING THE PID CONTROL

Once the PID control is set up correctly, it needs to be tuned in order to maintain the
process set point. First, set the Integral and Differential Gains to zero, and increase
the Proportional Gain (Parameter 77) until the system becomes unstable, then lower
the gain until the system stabilizes again. Set the Proportional Gain about 15% less
than that value that stabilizes the system. If only Proportional Gain is used, and
the system is operating in a steady-state condition (set point is xed and process
variable has settled to a xed value), there will always be a certain amount of error
in the system. This is called the steady-state error.
Integral Gain (Parameter 78) is used to force the steady-state error to zero by
increasing the output speed command with respect to time. Over time, the error
will be forced to zero because the Integral term will continue to change the speed
command, even after the Proportional term reaches steady state and no longer
affects the speed command. The Integral Gain affects the rate of rise of the output
speed command from the Integral term. Small amounts of Integral Gain can cause
large changes in PID performance, so care must be taken when adjusting Integral
Gain. Too much Integral Gain will result in overshoots, especially if large step
changes in error occur.
Typically, Proportional and Integral Gain are all that is needed to ne-tune the
system. However, it may be necessary to use Differential Gain (Parameter 79) to
further stabilize the system, especially when quick responses are required. The
Differential term responds to the rate of change of the error, not the actual error
itself. Differential Gain acts like a shock-absorber to dampen overshoots that can
occur when the PID tries to react quickly to changes in error or set point. This allows
fast PID response, with reduced risk of becoming unstable due to overshoots. The
Differential term is very sensitive to electrical noise on the feedback signal and to
digitizing errors, so it must be used with caution.
The other parameter setting that affects the response of the PID control is Parameter
80 - PID ACC. This sets the acceleration (and deceleration) rate of the set point
reference into the PID unit. When the set point changes, this function will lter the
input to the PID unit by ramping the set point reference from the previous value to the
new value. This will help prevent overshoots that can occur when the PID control
attempts to respond to step changes in set point, resulting in smoother operation.
If PID ACC is set to 0.0 seconds, it is effectively disabled.

MC1000 DISPLAY IN PID MODE

When the drive is in PID mode, the DRIVE STATUS portion of the display will indicate
actual output frequency (in Hertz) instead of RUN, and the right side of the display
will indicate PID SET POINT, % LOAD, or PID FEEDBACK. The ENTER key is
used to toggle between the different displays. Examples of the possible displays
are shown below:

In the examples above, the drive is running at 42.53 Hz to maintain the PID SET
POINT of 35.0 psi. Pressing the ENTER key displays % LOAD, which is 57%.
Pressing ENTER again displays the PID FEEDBACK from the process, which is
33.7 psi.
When the PID SET POINT and PID FEEDBACK displays are entered, the display
will ash SET POINT or FEEDBACK before displaying the value to indicate which
display is being viewed.

Table of Contents
20.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
The table below lists the fault conditions that will cause the drive to shut down, as
well as some possible causes. Please contact the factory for more information on
troubleshooting faults.
NOTE: The drive will not automatically restart after a PWR SAG or a CONTROL
fault. Also, if an OUTPUT fault occurs below 1.5 Hz, the drive will only attempt
one restart, after a four minute delay. If unsuccessful, it will then trip into FAULT
LOCKOUT, which will require a manual reset. This is done to protect the drive in
case of a shorted motor.
