1 Overview
Concept
This guide discusses motor temperature supervision options for the ACS2000 4kV VFD including wiring,
configuration, and usage.
Either five or eight RTD transducers are installed in right center of the VFD control
swingframe. Each transducer has a range of 0 to 200° C when connected to a Pt100
RTD. These are factory configured to accept three wire RTDs. Two and four wire
RTDs can be accommodated, contact factory for information.

2 Connecting RTDs
Wire routing and attachment
Use shielded cables for RTD connections. The connections accept 24 AWG to
14 AWG wire. Wire resistance should remain under 10 ohms from end to end.
An example is Belden style 8771 or similar.

Separate the RTD cables from medium voltage and electrically noisy low voltage
cables in separate conduit or cable runs with metal separators. Keep the cables
away from areas of high electromagnetic or radio interference. Ground the cable
shield at only one end. The VFD has grounding clamps available in the
swingframe. These tighten on the cable shield providing a 360° ground.

Within the swingframe route the cables through the wire duct directly underneath
the modules.

The modules are arranged as shown to the right for the 8

temperature sensor option. Connections are similar for the
5 temperature sensor option.

Strip each wire lead 0.5" and connect each RTD to pins 1, 3, and 4 of the
associated transducer.

3 Usage
Each grouping of RTDs has programmable alarm and trip settings. Configuration of RTD groups is
performed within the VFD signal parameter table group 30.
Measured motor temperatures are available within parameters 04.49 through 04.56. These can be
accessed via Fieldbus by mapping to a dataset, see signal parameter table group 91 or 92. Some
Fieldbus options can access this data directly, please contact factory.
