 1 General Information on Safety and Use
The present documentation was produced with great care and meticulously checked
several times. It is not possible to give full detailed information on all types of
products in view of the need for clarity, and it is also not possible to take into
consideration the setting up, operation or servicing in every possible case. If you
require further information or if particular problems crop up that are not covered in
enough detail in the documentation, you can request the information that you require
from the local representative of VECTRON Elektronik.
In addition, we would like to point out that the contents of this documentation are not
part of an earlier or existing agreement, approval or legal relationship and are not
intended to modify one. All the obligations of the manufacturer arise out of the
relevant purchase contract, which alone includes the complete and solely valid
stipulations concerning the warranty. These contractual stipulations concerning the
warranty are neither increased nor restricted by the details given in this
documentation.
The manufacturer reserves the right to correct or modify the contents and product
details and also put right omissions without prior notice and shall have no liability
whatsoever for damage, injuries or costs incurred that are due to the above-
mentioned reasons.

1.1 General Information

Depending on the type of protection applicable for a particular VECTRON frequency
inverter, there are moving or live parts and hot surfaces that could be touched.
There is a risk of severe personal injury or damage to valuable assets if the required
covers are removed without permission, if the unit is used incorrectly, or as the result
of incorrect installation or operation.
Avoid any risks of severe personal injury or damage to valuable assets by ensuring
that only suitably qualified technicians are involving in transporting, installing,
commissioning and servicing the unit. Standards IEC 60364 and CENELEC HD 384
or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC Report 664 or EN 50178 and BGV A2 (VBG 4) and the
relevant national regulations are to be complied with. “Qualified persons” within the
meaning of this basic safety information covers persons who are familiar with the
setting up, installation, commissioning and operation of frequency inverters and have
the corresponding qualifications to carry out such work.

1.2 Appropriate Use

Frequency inverters are electrical drive unit components that are intended for
installation in industrial units or machines. Frequency inverters are only sold on a
limited basis and as components that are solely intended for professional use within
the meaning of standard EN 61000-3-2. Commissioning and the starting of
appropriate operation are forbidden until it has been determined that the machine
complies with the stipulations of EU Machine Guidelines 98/37/EWG and EN 60204.
According to the CE marking regulations, frequency inverters must also comply with
the requirements of Low Voltage Guideline 73/23/EWG and of standard EN 50178 /
DIN VDE 0160.
The owner has the responsibility for ensuring compliance with EMC Guideline
89/336/EWG. The frequency inverters meet the requirements of Low Voltage
Guideline 73/23/EWG and comply with standard EN 50178 / DIN VDE 0160. The
requirements of CSA Standard C22.2-No. 14-95 were also complied with through the
granting of the UL test mark as per [Link] technical data and the details on the
connection and environmental conditions can be found on the rating plate and in the
documentation and are to be complied with at all times.

4
1.3 Transport and Storage
Transport and storage are to be done in an appropriate manner and using the original
packing materials. The units are to be stored in dry, dust-free rooms that are
protected against wet and are subject to only minor temperature variations. Note the
permissible climatic conditions as per EN 50178 and from the details given on the
packing materials.
The period of storage may not exceed a year without the unit being connected to the
relevant permitted rated voltage!

1.4 Handling and Setting Up

The frequency inverter concerned to be used in accordance with the documentation,
regulations and standards. Ensure that it is handled with due care and avoid any
mechanical overloading or stresses. Do not bend any structural parts in transport or
handling, and nor should you change the insulation gaps. Do not touch any electronic
components and contacts. The equipment has electrostatically-sensitive components
that are easily damaged by incorrect handling. Damaged or destroyed components
may not be used, since this could endanger your safety, and also compliance with the
relevant standards cannot be guaranteed in such a case.

1.5 Electrical Connection

Ensure when working on or with the frequency inverter that the currently applicable
standards BGV A2 (VBG 4), VDE 0100and other national standards are complied
with. Comply with the information given in the documentation concerning electrical
installation and the relevant regulations. The responsibility for compliance with and
testing of the limit values for EMC - product standard EN 61800-3 for variable speed
electric drive units lies with the manufacturer of the industrial unit or machine.
The documentation includes information concerning a proper installation in terms of
EMC. The cables connected to the frequency inverter may not be subjected to
insulation testing with a higher test voltage without having taken suitable switching
precautions beforehand.

1.6 Operational Notes

Before commissioning starting up operation in an appropriate manner, all the safety
covers are to be in place and the terminals must be checked. Check the additional
monitoring and protective devices in accordance with EN 60204 and the relevant
applicable safety stipulations (e.g., regulations concerning technical equipment or
safety at work, etc.). The frequency inverter is to be completely free of any voltages
before starting work, but in any case any connections that carry electric power may
not be touched at once, since the capacitors could still be charged. Follow the notes
and markings on the frequency inverter.

1.7 Maintenance and Servicing

Unauthorized opening and inappropriate actions can lead to either injury or damage.
Repairs to the frequency inverters may only be carried out by the manufacturer or by
persons authorized by him.

dangerous voltages even after the frequency inverter has been properly
disconnected.
It is essential to wait several minutes before starting work on the unit to
allow the DC link capacitors time to discharge fully.

The mains fuses and cable cross-sections are to be as given in EN 60204-1 and DIN
VDE 0298 part 4 for the nominal operating point of the frequency inverter. According
to UL/CSA, approved copper cables of class 1 with a temperature range of 60/75°C
are to be used for the power cables, together with the corresponding mains fuses.

Warning: The frequency inverters are to be connected to earth over a large area
and with good conductivity. The leakage current of the frequency
inverter can be >3.5 mA, a fixed connection must be provided as
specified in standard EN 50178. The cross-section of the earth
conductor for the installation area must be at least 10 mm², or else a
second earth conductor must be laid electrically parallel to the first one.
The cross-section must correspond to the recommended cross-section
for such applications.

Connection conditions
x The connection for frequency inverters with a phase current ” 16 A to the public
mains system (1st environment) is to be done with the recommended line choke
as per the stipulations of standard EN 61000-3-2. Devices used professionally
with a connection rating > 1 kW connected to the public mains system (1st
environment) and frequency inverters in industrial applications (2nd environment)
only require the recommended line choke if the ratio of active power (real power)
to the mains short-circuit power is < 1 %.
x Frequency inverters ” 7.5 kW with a built-in EMC filter comply with the emission
limit values of the product standard EN 61800-3, for a motor cable length of up to
10 m. Optional filters can be used to meet any customer-specific requirements.
x Operation on an unearthed network (IT network) is permissible after
disconnecting the Y-capacitors inside the unit.
x Operation with fault current protective devices is only permissible in connection
with a pulsed current or universal current-sensitive fault current relay with
leakage current separation. The value of the leakage current depends on the
installation, the environment and the length of the motor cables. Operation is
possible with a fault current circuit breaker and a cable length of less than 10 m
(shielded). The relevant standards and regulations must be complied with.

Note: Functionally safe and economic dimensioning of the unit is possible for
a particular application. If you require additional product information, it
can be obtained on request from the local representative of VECTRON
Elektronik.

 6.3 Controlling the Motor via the Control Unit
The control unit permits control of the motor parallel with the connected analog and
digital control signals.

Attention: Control of the drive unit via the control unit requires the release of the

 power component via the controller release S1IND digital input. Avoid
any risks of severe personal injury or damage to valuable assets by
ensuring that only suitably qualified technicians work on the equipment.
Qualified persons are those who are familiar with the setting up,
installation, commissioning and operation of frequency inverters and
have the corresponding qualifications to carry out such work. Carefully
read the documentation before starting the work and comply with the
safety instructions.

The CTRL menu branch can be reached by navigation within

the menu structure. The CtrL function includes sub-functions
that are displayed according to the operating point of the
frequency inverter.
Press the RUN key to go from any point within the menu
structure to motor potentiometer function Pot or internal
reference value int respectively.

Motor potentiometer function Pot

Use the cursor keys to set the output frequency of the
frequency inverter from the minimum frequency 418 up to the
maximum frequency 419. The acceleration corresponds to the
factory setting (2 Hz/s) of the parameter Ramp KP-MPot 473.
The parameters Acceleration 420 and Deceleration 421 are
considered at lower values of acceleration.

Internal reference value int

The drive unit is in operation and the current actual value is
displayed. Use the cursor keys to go to motor potentiometer
function Pot, which causes that the current value for the
frequency to be accepted.

JOG frequency JOG

Press the FUN key to change from internal reference value int
or motor potentiometer function Pot respectively to the JOG
frequency 489. The frequency is set with the aid of the cursor
keys.

Key functions
ENT Changes over the direction of rotation, regardless of the control signal at
the clockwise S2IND or anti-clockwise S3IND terminals.
ESC Quit the function and go back in the menu structure.
FUN Press the key to go to JOG frequency and start the drive unit.
Releasing the key changes to the sub-function and stops the drive unit.
START Starts the drive unit; alternative to control signals S2IND or S3IND
STOP Stops the drive unit; alternative to control signals S2IND or S3IND

Attention: The ENT key produces a change in direction of rotation regardless of

the signal at the clockwise S2IND or anti-clockwise S3IND terminals.
If the minimum frequency 418 has been set to 0 Hz, a change in the
sign of the frequency reference value produces a change in direction
of rotation of the motor.

26
7 Commissioning the Frequency Inverter
7.1 Turning On the Mains Voltage
Once the installation work has been completed, you should check all control and
power connections again before turning on the mains voltage. If all the electrical
connections are correct, it is necessary to ensure that you switch off the release of
the frequency inverter (control input S1IND open). After the mains is switched on, the
frequency inverter carries out a self-test and the relay output (X10) reports "Fault".
The frequency inverter concludes the self-test after a few seconds, and then relay
(X10) pulls in and reports "no fault".
Commissioning is called up automatically in the state as delivered and after resetting
back to the factory settings. The control unit displays menu item “SEtUP“ from the
CTRL menu branch.

7.2 Setup
The commissioning of the frequency inverter determines all the relevant parameter
settings for the desired application. Selection from the available parameters is done
from known default applications for the drive unit technology. This makes it easier to
select the most important parameters, but it in no way replaces a subsequent check
by the user. Once the SETUP routine has been successfully concluded the actual
value Actual frequency 241 is subsequently displayed from the VAL menu branch in
the control unit.

Attention: The commissioning includes a function for parameter identification. The

parameters are determined by measurement and set accordingly. The
motor should not have been run before starting the measurement, since
some of the machine data depends on the operational temperature.

The commissioning appears automatically in the state as delivered.

In connection with a successful commissioning, you can select the
CTRL sub-menu and call up the function again.

Press the ENT key to go to the CTRL sub-menu. In this sub-menu

you can select the “SEtUP“ menu item with the cursor keys and
confirm it with the ENT key.

ENT

Select the configuration 30 parameter with the ENT key and input
the numbers 110 or 410 with the cursor keys (see the following
section). End the input with the ENT key and switch to the following
parameter. The hardware and software functionality is configured if
the configuration was changed. Please confirm the desired
configuration after initialization. ENT

27
 7.2.1 Configuration
Configuration 30 determines the pin-outs and basic functions of the control and
outputs and the software functions. The frequency inverter software offers several
configurations to choose from. The configurations primarily differ in the way that the
drive unit is controlled. These brief instructions include details on sensor-less control
in Configuration 110 and sensor-less field-oriented control in Configuration 410.
The speed is input as a frequency reference value via an analog signal. Analog and
digital inputs are to be combined and supplemented by the optional communication
protocols as an additional source of reference values. The speed of the drive unit is
governed down once the set limits are reached so that the latter are not exceeded.

Configuration 110, sensor-less control

Configuration 110 includes the functions for variable speed control of a 3-phase
machine in a large number of default applications. The motor speed is derived
from the set relationship between the reference frequency and the required
voltage.

Configuration 410, sensor-less field-oriented control

Configuration 410 includes the functions for sensor-less control of a 3-phase
machine. The current motor speed is determined from the currents and voltages
at that moment in combination with the machine parameters. Parallel switching of
motors in this configuration is restrictedly possible.

7.2.2 Data Set

The data set makes it possible to save parameter settings in four independent data
sets. Data sets 1 to 4 are saved with the same parameter values in data set 0. By
default the frequency inverter uses data set 1 unless data set switching is used.

Setting
Parameter dS Function
0 All data sets (DS0) (factory settings)
1 Data set 1 (DS1)
2 Data set 2 (DS2)
3 Data set 3 (DS3)
4 Data set 4 (DS4)

7.2.3 Machine Data

The machine data that is input in the following part of the commissioning is to be
taken from the rating plate and the data sheet of the motor. The factory settings for
the machine parameters relate to the nominal data of the frequency inverter and the
associated 3-phase machine. The machine data required for the control and
regulation process is calculated in the course of the commissioning from the settings,
which have to be checked for plausibility. The rated values used in the factory

7.2.4 Plausibility Check
The checking of the machine data should only be skipped by a suitably qualified and
experienced user. The configurations include complex control procedures that
depend to a large extent on the correct machine parameters being entered. The
warning and fault messages displayed during the testing and checking should
therefore be noted carefully. If a critical state is detected during the commissioning,
this is displayed in the control unit. A warning or fault message is displayed according
to the deviation from the expected parameter value.
The warning message can be acknowledged with the ENT key and the
commissioning is continued. The parameter values that had been entered can be
corrected subsequently by pressing the ESC key.

Warning messages
Code Measures / Remedy
There are no warning messages. This message can also be read by an
SA000
optional communication card.
The rated voltage 370 is outside the FU nominal voltage range. The
SA001 maximum nominal voltage is given on the rating plate of the frequency
inverter.
The rated current 371, the rated output 376 and the rated voltage 370
SA002 must be checked. The calculated efficiency is within the limits for a 3-phase
motor.
The rated cos phi 374 is outside the standard range
SA003
(0.6 to 0.95).
The rated speed 372 and the rated frequency 375 must be checked. The
SA004
slip is within the limits for a 3-phase motor.

If an fault message appears, check and input again the parameterized rated data.
Repeat the commissioning until the rated values have been input without any faults.
Only experienced users should terminate the commissioning prematurely by pressing
the ESC key, since some of the rated data is not correct.

Fault messages
Code Measures / Remedy
SF000 There are no fault messages
SF001 The rated current 371 that was entered is too low.
The rated current 371 is too high, related to the rated output 376 and the
SF002
rated voltage 370.
SF003 The rated cos phi 374 is wrong (more than 1 or less than 0.3).
The slip frequency calculated from the rated data is negative. The rated
SF004
speed 372 and the rated frequency 375 must be checked.
The rated speed 372 and the rated frequency 375 that were entered must
SF005
be checked, since the calculated slip frequency is too large.
The overall output calculated from the rated data of the drive unit it lower
SF006
that the figure that was entered for the rated output.
The configuration that was set is not supported by the commissioning.
SF007 Configurations 110 and 410 are described in these brief instructions and
the unit is to be set accordingly.

 7.2.5 Parameter Identification
The selected configuration requires the knowledge of additional machine data that is
not given on the rating plate of the 3-phase machine. The commissioning can
measure the required machine data, supplement or alternative to the data sheet of
the manufacturer. The values measured while the drive unit is at a standstill can be
entered directly or in connection to a calculation for the parameter. The sequence and
duration of the parameter identification varies according to the machine connected
and the unit rating. Display PAidE is to be confirmed by pressing the ENT key. The
connected load is evaluated in the subsequent course of parameter identification with
the displayed signals.

The commissioning changes over to the functions for parameter identification after
checking the machine data that had been input. The safety functions of the frequency
inverter prevent the release of the power component unless digital input S1IND is
wired up. If a signal had already been applied at the start of commissioning, message
FUF is not displayed.

Warning: The parameter identification of the frequency inverter requires the

release of the power component. Avoid any risks of severe personal
injury or damage to valuable assets by ensuring that only suitably
qualified technicians work on the equipment. Qualified persons are
those who are familiar with the setting up, installation, commissioning
and operation of frequency inverters and have the corresponding
qualifications to carry out such work. Carefully read the documentation
before starting the work and comply with the safety instructions.

The concluding message rEAdY is to be confirmed with the ENT key. Cancelling by
pressing the ESC key or by terminating the release of S1IND means that incomplete
values are accepted.

7.2.6 Application Data

The wide variety of applications for drive units, with the resulting parameter settings,
require additional parameters to be checked. The parameters that are queried within
the commissioning are selected from known applications and can be supplemented
as required in the PARA menu.

Frequency ramps
Para. Factory
Unit Name / Function
No. setting
420 5.00 Hz/s Acceleration
421 5.00 Hz/s Deceleration

Attention: The deceleration of the drive is monitored in the standard parameter

setting operation mode voltage controller 670. The deceleration ramp
can be extended during rising DC-link voltage in regenerative operation
or braking of the drive.

Multifunction input MFI1 is to be parameterized in the mode of operation that

corresponds to the reference value signal. Mode of operation 3 should only be
selected by expert users wishing to use drive unit control via fixed frequency 1 480
and fixed frequency 2 481.

Reference value signal

Mode of operation
Name / Function
MFI1 452

Voltage signal, 0 to 10V
(Factory settings)
2 Current signal, 0 to 20mA
3 Digital fixed frequency changeover, 0 to 24V

30
The control unit shows the End message that you should confirm with the ENT key.
The commissioning of the frequency inverter is concluded with a reset and
initialization of the frequency inverter. Relay output X10 reports an fault during
initialization.

The parameter actual frequency 241 that is defined in the factory settings is displayed
in connection with an fault-free initialization of the frequency inverter. If a signal is
applied to digital input 1 and digital input 2 or digital input 3, then the drive unit is
accelerated to the set minimum frequency 418 (factory setting 3.50 Hz)

The commissioning makes it easier for you to select the main parameters and
determines additional rated data for the motor. If the settings for the parameters were
determined via the optional operating software or the PARA menu branch of the
control unit, display of the selected actual value is to be activated manually. The
setup function appears when the frequency inverter is switched on, and you can quit
this by pressing the ESC key. Change to the VAL menu branch and select the
desired actual value that is to be displayed in future. Press the ENT key to display the
value of the parameter and press the ENT key again to select the actual value for a
new start.

7.3 Checking the Direction of Rotation

The relationship between the reference value and the actual direction of rotation of
the drive unit must be checked. The check should be made as follows. Input a
reference value of around 10 % and briefly switch on the release for the inverter
(control inputs FUF (S1IND) and STR (S2IND) for clockwise, or FUF (S1IND) and
STL (S3IND) for anti-clockwise). Check that the motor shaft is turning in the right
direction as the drive unit accelerates. In addition to checking the drive unit, the
corresponding actual values and the operational messages can be read with the aid
of the control unit. If the direction of rotation is wrong, for example, then swap over
two of the motor at the terminals of the frequency inverter, e.g., U and V. The
connection of the frequency inverter at the mains has no effect on the direction of
rotation of the drive unit.

Note: The commissioning of the frequency inverter is now completed and can
now be supplemented by further settings in the PARA menu. The
parameters that have been set have been chosen such that they are
adequate in most cases concerning commissioning. Testing and
checking additional settings that are relevant for the application is to be
done on the basis of the operating instructions.
