 Function can be assigned to:

 SERIAL means to USB or dedicated keypad TL5

 imp means impulse signal to START and STOP terminals
 perm means permanent contact to START terminal.

By SERIAL and perm selection, a permanent 24 VDC signal must be

applied to the STOP terminal.
When this function is activated, it is possible to catch a spinning motor
and to accelerate it back to the set speed.

This function is not available on firmware version 1.50

If you need it please contact us.

Here you pre-set the displayed units for the speed i.e. Hz or RPM.
The number of poles of the motor will be taken into consideration
automatically.

This parameter is also available in the main window.

If you want to lock any reversing of the rotating direction of the motor
you can do it here by entering no.

If you allow the reversing, the function can be assigned to:

SERIAL means to USB or dedicated keypad TL5

T.Bl. means to Control terminals in the drive front. One digital input must
be allocated to the function.
Input here a filter value for the analogue speed reference input. This
factor is needed to smooth speed variations due to signal noise.
Value 0 to 10

For all non-destructive failures where the STOP can be monitored, like:
Converter temperature, External Interlocks, …. We can choose between
2 ways of stopping the motor:

 Coast to rest
 Braking down using the deceleration’s ramp

For all non-destructive failure where the turn off can be delayed, like
Converter temperature, External Interlocks, Motor temperature, … a
delay time of 0 to 5 s can be input here.
This function is to allow the CNC to monitor the machine motion before
the converter trips.

S620-gb-0825 ACO5000 / Window's programming software Page 7 / 19

 At this step you decide the way you want to select the active partition
Function can be assigned to:
 SERIAL means to USB or dedicated keypad TL5
 T.Bl means to Control terminals in the drive front.
The required number of programmable digital inputs must be allocated
to this selection.

The partition No 0 is not available by T.Bl

Internal timer which can be set from 0 to 5 s. This is a delay between
the frequency (speed) reached information and the enable of the MCM
function in order to let time to the rotor speed to stabilize.

Enter here the nominal value in V, of the voltage of your power supply.
Input value between 200 and 480 V. All mains voltages between 170
VAC and 530 VAC are considered being inside of the tolerances.

A value allocated to one of the A_OUT1 or A_OUT2 can be internally

compared to a define voltage level (0 to 10 VDC) set in the next step.
Once this level is reached or exceeded an alarm can be triggered after a
set delay time.

Definition of the comparison level. Set a value between 0 and 10 VDC

Time delay to trigger the alarm once the comparison level above has
been reached or exceeded. This function must be allocated to one of the
digital outputs OUT1 to OUT4.

To set the operating frequency of the intermediate DC-bus chopper. For

standard application, always use "HIGH". If the ambient temperature is
high, or if you experience repeated drive failure with the message
"Converter temperature too high", set this frequency to "LOW".

The partition selection

To select your partition use "Part." in the this window.
When the partition selection is set to the Terminal Block,
if the partition selected in this widow doesn't match the
one of the terminal block, the icon right of "Terminal" will
turn red.

The partition parameters

To change a parameter, just double click on

the corresponding line

The default partition password is acomel

This is the number of poles and not the number of pairs. It must be an
even number. This value is shown on the motor plate and/or in the motor
data sheet. Maximum number of poles: 2 - 1024

Input here the power of the motor which will correspond to a

10 V signal when PW is allocated to the analogue output A_OUT1 or
A_OUT2

Value in A. This input is use to check the setting of current related

parameters as follow:
IREF  150% of INOM (motor reference current)
IFCC  100% of INOM (DC current braking)
IFCP  20% of INOM (DC continuous current braking)
IACC  200% of INOM (Acceleration current max.)
Set here the maximum allowed current during acceleration /
deceleration. The limit value is 200% of INOM .
The function If Im > IREF: is inhibited during acceleration and
deceleration.

Set here the maximum allowed current during operation. The limit value
is 150% of INOM . This value is used dor the comparison Im > IREF

Frequency control source. At this step you can set if you want to assign
the output frequency of the drive, respectively the motor speed to the:
o SERIAL means to USB or dedicated keypad TL5
o T.Bl. i.e to the 0 to 10 V analogue speed reference input A_IN in
the drive front or one of the 3 possible preset frequencies.

S620-gb-0825 ACO5000 / Window's programming software Page 9 / 19

 In case of selection of the Freq. ctrl source selection from the SERIAL
frequency control, the value entered or shown here will be taken as
speed reference input when the inverter is being turned ON. In running
mode you can record the actual value as default just by hitting the F6
key under the scope section. Here again, the input must be in Hz, input
in RPM is not allowed and will lead to a mis-setting.
Enter here the minimum frequency under which one you don't want to
operate your motor.

If you have selected the Freq. ctrl source from the T.BL you have the
possibility to define up to 3 pre-set speeds. The selection of one of
those pre-set speeds will be done applying +24V to the allocated
terminal(s). If this feature has been activated and no selection made
through terminals, the analogue reference input will be active. Here
again, the input must be in Hz, input in RPM is not allowed and will lead
to a wrong setting.
The minimum acceleration time is set in seconds, between 0.1 to 512.
This is the acceleration time needed to reach the full speed of the motor.
If the set speed is the half of the full speed, the time to reach this speed
will be the half of the acceleration set time. This value is a minimum and
can’t be reduced within the dynamic parameters.

The minimum deceleration time is set in seconds, between 0.1 to 512.

This is the deceleration time needed to reach zero speed from the full
speed of the motor. If the set speed is the half of the full speed, the time
to stop will be the half of the deceleration set time. This value is a
minimum and can’t be reduced within the dynamic parameters.

This is only a speed measurement and not a speed closed loop.

Our sensor input accepts:
 Standard 5 V TTL encoder signals, 2 channels 90° phase
shifted, with or without index.
 Magneto-resistive sensor signal

Enter here the number of pulses per revolution: Value: 0 to 65535

Using the speed feedback is it possible to monitor the slip of the motor
and issue a signal when the slip exceeds a pre-set value.
Input of the maximum slip in RPM

Set the reaction of the drive when the motor current IM > IREF
 trip you will trip the drive
 dec you will reduce the output frequency FS to keep the
motor current lower than the reference current
 ignore the information. In this case the maximum current of the
inverter will be available for the motor.
The information that the current Im > IREF can be allocated to one of the
digital outputs OUT1 to OUT4

Page 10 / 19 ACO5000 / Window's programming software S620-gb-0825

 This is the delay to activate Im > IREF after the reach speed signal. This
delay is used to wait that the speed has stabilized before Im > IREF is
activated.

The resistance R of the motor winding is source of a voltage drop

proportional to the motor current I. The RI voltage will be added to the
output voltage US to obtain the nominal torque over the entire frequency
range. This function is mainly used when operating at the lower part of
the range. The value can be set between 0 and 30 V.

Slip compensation. Enter here the slip at nominal current of the motor. A
linear compensation based on the active current will be done.

The temperature monitoring of your motor can be made, using a PTC or

a KTY84-130. Please select here the temperature sensor integrated into
your motor windings.

If you have selected the KTY84-130, enter here the temperature value
you want to monitor and trip or stop the drive.

To stabilize the display of the speed you can here input a filter value.

Setting 0 rpm, the signal “reached speed” will be delivered at the end of
the acceleration when the speed is over 95% of the set value.

Setting an othe number of rpm will maintain the signal reached speed
active so long the output speed remain in this window (positive or
negative).

parameters allocated output will turn ON if the mains voltage is out of
the tolerance of 480 V+10 % respectively 200 V –15%.

The dynamic parameters

Page 14 / 19 ACO5000 / Window's programming software S620-gb-0825

 The acceleration time is set in seconds, between 0.1 to 512.
This is the acceleration time needed to reach the full speed of the motor.
If the set speed is the half of the full speed, the time to reach this speed
will be the half of the acceleration set time.
This time must be ≥ as the minimum acceleration time set within the
motor partition.
The deceleration time is set in seconds, between 0.1 to 512.
This is the deceleration time needed to reach zero speed from the full
speed of the motor. If the set speed is the half of the full speed, the time
to stop will be the half of the deceleration set time.
This time must be ≥ as the minimum deceleration time set within the
motor partition.
Value of the DC injected braking current. IFCC should not be higher than
the nominal current of the motor.
This function, when activated, is automatically initiated after a STOP
command, when the intermediate DC- bus reaches is  35 VDC.

DC braking current duration

Value of the permanent injected DC braking current. This function is

used when the motor needs to be braked (holding torque) at standstill,
for example to keep air bearing spindle from rotating at stop. We
suggest setting this current not higher than 20% of the motor nominal
current.

Low frequency smoothing factor, to be used only in case of instability at

low frequencies.

Set here the absolute reference value to which the motor current must
be compared to trigger the allocated output. This value is in A.
For one partition, 4 values can be entered.

The value to set here is the sensitivity of the SH monitoring. The value
set is the current increase (A) versus the recorded one, which will trigger
the corresponding output.
At the releasing of the allocated digital input, the instant value of Im is
recorded. As soon the motor current exceed “the recorded Im + ISH”, the
allocated output will be triggered.
For one partition, 4 values can be entered.
Enter here the dynamic sensitivity factor, value between 0 to 20 000.
Higher is the factor, lower is the sensitivity. The allocated output will turn
ON for approximately 200 ms.
For one partition, 4 values can be entered.

How to ensure the best sensitivity and take advantage of the 4 sensitivity levels of each MCM

The CNC controller should start to process the information delivered by the allocated relay only when the
grinding wheel is close to the part and the cooling media already ON. In other words: as close as possible
from the machining process and after having activated the inhibition of the analogue reference input via
one of the terminal bloc digital input.

The Gap Eliminator sensitivity level is limited by the variations of the motor active current before the
machining process starts. The main source of such variations is the analogue speed reference input that
can be affected by inducted disturbances. A proper shielding and grounding of the connecting cable can
reduce those disturbances. The ACO5000 frequency inverter offers a great solution to this problem. A
digital signal, coming from the CNC controller, can be used to inhibit the analogue speed reference signal
during machining (see "AnlSetInhib" function to allocate to terminal block).

Up to 4 sensitivity levels can be set for each motor partition. They could be used for example:

- To differentiate between various grinding wheels of work process

- As crash protection during the machining process. Using the ABS or IDTO, the relay will pull any
time the set value is true. You will use here the highest possible sensitivity for the Gap Eliminator
function and a higher value to detect a possible crash. The selection of the active level can be
monitor by the CNC via the terminal block.

NOTE: The selection of the MCM type and the MCM level can only be made via the terminal block. The
selection of the type is by the allocation of "SelMcm0" and "SelMcm1" and the selection of the
level is made by allocation of "LevMcm0" and "LevMcm1" as follow:

Selection of the MCM type Selection of the MCM level

SelMcm0 SelMcm1 Type LevMcm0 LevMcm1 Level
0 0 Abs (default) 0 0 1 (default)
1 0 SH 1 0 2
0 1 IDTO 0 1 3
1 1 Not allocated 1 1 4

* Value "1" is made by applying +24VDC to the corresponding digital input.
