60204-1.

Important safety norms

In the design, installation, starting up, maintenance and checking of the converters the safety and accident
prevention norms must be observed with regard to their specific use.
• Among others the following norms in particular must be observed :

∗ CEI 64.8
Electrical plant using a nominal voltage not greater than 1000V AC - 1500V DC

1.1 WARNINGS

• Carefully read the manual before installing and using the equipment.

• The manufacturer declines any liability for any improper use of the equipment different from
that set out in the manual.

• No alteration or operation not prescribed by the manual is permitted except with the express
authorisation of the manufacturer, and must by carried out by qualified personnel. Failure to
observe this rule will mean that the manufacturer shall decline any liability for any possible
consequences and the guarantee will cease to have effect.

• The setting up and installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel who are
responsible for observance of the safety rules imposed by the laws in force.

• If the drive is installed without the proper E.M.C. filter and plugged in low voltage public mains
supply, it can cause radio frequency noises or interferences.

• In the specific case for which the equipment is being used it is necessary to take into account
the safety regulations for the prevention of accidents. The installation, cabling and opening of
the equipment and the converter must all be done with the voltage supply cut off.

• Equipment and converters must be installed in a contact proof case with IP grade protection
which complies with the norms.

• The equipment must be positioned in such a way that access for maintenance operations is
easy and that there is no danger of interference with moving parts.

• Ensure that there is always sufficient ventilation to discharge what is lost from the converter.

• Do not use extinguishers containing water when there is fire in proximity to the equipment.

• Avoid at all times the penetration of water and other fluids into the equipment.

• Any work carried out within the equipment must be done with the supply voltage cut off. As
capacitors remain charged to dangerous voltages, wait at least 8 minutes before accessing the
inside of equipment to work on it.

*Note = Our converters have a default modulation frequency of 5KHz. There is a minimal ratio between
modulation frequency and frequency output, that cannot be less than 8, therefore with the default configuration
maximum frequency output is 500Hz. If the frequency output has to be great than 500Hz, our technicians will
set the modulation frequency to the correct value, with converter derating following the table below:

5. ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT , DISSIPATED POWER

The power dissipated by the frequency converter working under nominal load, including the fixed losses from
ventilation and regulation of the reactance losses, is shown in the following table.

In case of installation in an enclosed environment, e.g. in a cabinet, it is necessary to take care that the internal
temperature does not exceed the ambient temperature permitted for the converter ( + 40 °C) .
The environment may, if necessary, be ventilated with sufficient air flow to take away the heat generated by the
converter and other components.
For use with a load which is less than the nominal figure the power dissipated falls away and the ratio can be
calculated as follows :
P dissipated = ½ * Pmax.*(1+ effective load/nominal load)

For example, if the effective load is 75% of the nominal load :

P dissipated = ½ * Pmax * (1+0,75) = 0,875 Pmax

6. INSTALLATION
6.1 CONVERTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The frequency converter must only be installed in a vertical position. It must not be installed on a slant or
horizontally as heat convection would be impeded which could lead to damage being caused. All of the control
elements must remain well accessible.

The life and proper working or the frequency converter depends on the maintenance of the
ambient temperature between the permitted values of 0°C to +45 °C. The temperature must
thus be checked at regular intervals.
Relative air humidity must be below 90% with no condensation formation .

The frequency converter must be installed in a dust-free and well-ventilated place. Avoid environments where
there are aggressive gases insofar as the presence of abrasive dusts, steam, nebulised oils and salt air could
prejudice the long life of the equipment.

Other equipment should be mounted at sufficient distance from the converter to avoid any metallic residues
from drilling or electrical cables falling into the converter. The converter should never be installed near to
material which is easily inflammable.

Minimum distances (mm) to be observed

>150
keeping also in mind the need for possible
maintenance inside the converter itself.

The measurements H and P depend on the

>50 >50
size of the converter and are tabulated in the
paragraph 2.3

H+P
>100

The converter must not be installed in an ambient which is subject to strong

vibrations ; if the equipment upon which it is installed is mobile suitable
cushioning systems must be provided.

6.2 ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT , DISSIPATED POWER

The power dissipated by the frequency converter working under nominal load, including the fixed losses from
ventilation and regulation of the reactance losses, is shown in the following table.

In case of installation in an enclosed environment, e.g. in a cabinet, it is necessary to take care that the
internal temperature does not exceed the ambient temperature permitted for the converter ( + 45 °C) .
The environment may, if necessary, be ventilated with sufficient air flow to take away the heat generated by
the converter and other components.
For the use with a load which is less than the nominal figure the power dissipated falls away and the ratio can
be calculated as follows :

P dissipated = ½ * Pmax.*(1+ effective load/nominal load)

For example, if the effective load is 75% of the nominal load :

P dissipated = ½ * Pmax * (1+0,75) = 0,875 Pmax

6.3 VENTILATION
A frequency converter may not be installed in the air cooling flow of another frequency converter or other
plant. The fans of the servo-ventilated converter must be installed considering the optimal cooling air flow:

User Manual 6-2 TIC – DFNT Series

 Rev. 4.5 12/03/2002

6.4 FUN CONNECTION

The converters up to 55 KW are equipped with fans internally supplied (+24V), for the other models the fans
are centrifugal with external supply voltage of 380V 50/60Hz ( fans with external supply voltage of 220V
50/60Hz can be provided on require).
For this last models be carefully that supply voltage connections give the right rotation, like indicates from the
arrow present on the fan.

Caution: converter models DFNT greater than 55Kw are

THREE-PHASE LINE provided with fans ready to use with 380V supply
380V
voltage.

L1 L2 L3

6.5 MAINS CONNECTION

To ensure compliance with safety norms the converter’s mains connection must be carried out in accordance
with the law currently in force governing electrical equipment.
A converter limiting inductor must be provided for all sizes above 22kW. (See par. 4.1)
Connection to the converter must be stable and with cables of sufficient diameter for the three-phase, the
terminals marked R S T , the ground and the PE .

6.6 MOTOR CONNECTION

The motor is to be connected to the terminals marked U, V and W with the ground cable connected to the PE
.
A short circuit of the U,V,W phases blocks the converter.
In case of interruption between the motor and the converter by means of electromagnetic switches (remote
switches, thermal relays etc.) it is necessary to ensure that the converter is disabled before the interruption in
the motor-converter connection.
The advance time on the blocking of the converter can be obtained by simply playing on the delay of the
opening of the electromechanical parts ; a minimum time of 30 ms is in any case required.

User Manual 6-3 TIC – DFNT Series

 Rev. 4.5 12/03/2002

6.7 THE FREQUENCY CONVERTER’S GROUND CONNECTION

The leakage current is the current that the converter discharges to the ground connection.
The magnitude of this leakage current depends on the length of cable, the presence or otherwise of the shield,
being greater in the former case, and on the motor and the PWM frequency value.
Anti-disturbance filters can increase the current leakage.

The leakage current contains high frequency disturbance variables.

To avoid electromagnetic compatibility problems with other equipment, the converter’s ground connection
must, as far as possible, be with its own cable of a diameter not less than that indicated in the table.

The frequency converter cannot work without a protection conductor connected stable to
. ground.

6.8 ANTI-INTERFERENCE MEASURES

Electrical and electronic equipment can influence each other through the mains connections or other metal
connections between each other. In order to minimise or eliminate this reciprocal influence it is necessary for
the converter itself to be correctly installed in conjunction with, if required, any anti-interference devices.

The following advice regards a mains power supply which is not disturbed. If there is interference other
measures must be taken to reduce the interference.
In these latter cases it is not possible to give general advice and if the anti-interference measures do not give
the desired results we kindly ask you to contact TDE MACNO.

• Ensure that all the equipment in the cabinet is well connected to the ground bar using short cables with y
connections. It is particularly important that any control equipment connected to the converter, e.g. PLC, is
itself connected to ground by short cables.

• The converter must be fixed with screws and washers to ensure a good electrical connection between the
external container and the metallic support, connected to ground, and to the switchboard. If necessary
remove the paint to ensure a good contact.

• Whenever possible, use shielded cable for the control connections.

• For the motor connection use only shielded or armoured cables and connect the shielding to ground both
at the converter end and at the motor end. If it is not possible to use shielded cable the motor cables
should be placed in a metal channel which is connected to ground.

• Keep the motor connection , converter and control connection cables separate from each other.

• For the braking resistance cable connection use shielded cable and connect the shield to ground on both
sides, the converter side and the resistance side.

• lay the control cables at least 10 cm apart from any parallel power cables. In this case too it is advisable to
use a separate metal channel which is also connected to ground. If the control cables should cross over
the power cables maintain a cross-over angle of 90°.

• Ensure that any RC groups or flywheel diode for coils for the remote switches, relays and other
electromagnetic switches installed in the same cabinet as the converter are mounted directly onto the coil
connections themselves.

• Make all external control, measuring and regulatory connections with shielded cables.

• Cables which can radiate interference must be placed separately and apart from the converter’s control
cables.

If the converter has to operate in an particularly noise sensitive environment it is also necessary to take the
following measures to reduce the conducted and radiated interference:

• Insert a mains filter between the converter and the power mains mounted as near as possible to the
converter with connections which are as short as possible.

• If necessary, also insert a filter inductance in common between the converter and the motor keeping it as
close as possible to the converter.

• Take all necessary measures with regard to the cabinet to block radiated emissions, like grounding al
metal parts, the use of minimum hole openings in the external walls and the use of conducting gaskets.

The choice of the conductor diameters and fuses has been made in compliance with the CEI EN 60204-1
norms, the conductor material is copper, installation class B1. All the information relating to the conductors’
diameters and the size of fuses are only recommendations on our part. The national norms and provisions
must be observed in each case.
The fuses must be of the ultra-fast or fast type.
As regards the dimensions of the motor cable it is necessary to take into consideration that with frequencies
below 50Hz the output voltage becomes proportionately lower than 400V and so increases the conductor’s
percentage voltage drop.
In the case of lower frequencies the cable section to choose must be that immediately above.
When the frequency converter is installed under a transformer whose power is more than twice the power of
the converter, the installation of an input inductance is recommended so as to present the converter with an
impedance equal to or greater than that indicated in the table.

The input inductance is required for converters above 22KW (because is used a SCR rectified bridge) but it is
always recommended since the current form factor absorbed by the line is improved thus reducing the entity
of the harmonic currents. The choice of the input inductance should be made in relation to the power of
the frequency converter and must be such as to ensure a minimum voltage drop of more than 6.6V
over the nominal current absorbed by the converter and must not saturate an effective current twice
that of the nominal current.

If the braking device is used it is necessary to have a resistance with a value in Ω not less than the value
indicated in the table, able to support for a short time a voltage of 800 Vdc with an energy and power figure
greater than requested by the machine’s working cycle; the power indicated in the table is a minimum value
which can be used where braking is infrequent and for machines with little inertia, two or three times that of
the motor.

7.2 MOTOR

The motor must be intended for working under a PWM type converter, in particular as far as the following
aspects are concerned.

• Insulation : both the voltage fronts due to the modulation (voltage gradient of the order of 2000 - 4000
V/ms) and the possible voltage overload due to the reflection from the connecting cables (peak values for
50-70 or more metres cable length even of 1000 -1200 V ) must be taken into account.

• Cooling : the following factors must be considered : the increase in losses due to current harmonics, with
an increase in motor size of the order of 5 - 10 % , and, in the case of self-ventilated motors, the reduced
efficiency of the ventilation on the reduction of speed, and a lessened ability to disperse the heat. Self-
ventilated motors can therefore be used either with loads with torque which diminish with the reduction in
speed, as is the case for example with the fans which vary quadratically with the speed, or they must be
made appropriately larger.

8. CONNECTION SUGGESTIONS USING DEFAULT PARAMETERS

8.1 FREQUENCY REFERENCE FROM EXTERNAL POTENTIOMETER

1) The converter starts up if there is no alarm (“PRONTOMARCIA” active) and the ‘RUN’ switch is on.
2) The reference comes from the external potentiometer (AB. EXTERNAL POT.)
3) With the default setting, the motor release occurs immediately whenever - RUN CONTACT - is switched
off; if C28 = 1 is set, the release occurs only after the motor is brought below the frequency (speed) set in
P50.
4) Electromechanical interruption of the motor can be obtained by placing a contact block between the line
and the converter or between the converter and the motor. In the former case it must be borne in mind that
when the contact is opened the regulation power supply is also lost and after powering it again, it is
necessary to wait for the power supply and pre-loading time (about 2-3 sec.) before starting up the
converter.
If the contact block is placed between the inverter and the motor, it is necessary to act thus, on arrest, the
converter is blocked first and after 30÷40 ms the switch is switched on. To do this it is sufficient to put a
delay with an auxiliary relay used after the converter block to trip the remote switch or it is sufficient to use
a delayed coil on release (e.g. continuous current coil with a capacitor in parallel).
On the start up, on the other hand, it is necessary for the remote switch to go off first and the converter to
be unblocked.

8.2 FREQUENCY REFERENCE FROM DIGITAL POTENTIOMETER

1) The impulse starts up if there is no alarm (“RUN READY” - active) and the “RUN ” contact closes.
2) The reference comes from the digital potentiometer (AB. DIGITAL POT), the value of which can be
increased or decreased using the "INCREASE REF" and "DECREASE REF" buttons only if the converter
is in RUN
3) With the default setting the motor release occurs as soon as the - RUN CONTACT - is opened; if C28 = 1
is set the release only occurs after the motor has been brought below the frequency (speed) set in P50 .
4) Electromechanical interruption of the motor can be obtained by placing a contact block between the line
and the converter or between the converter and the motor. In the former case it must be borne in mind that
when the contact is opened the power supply is also lost for the regulation and after closing it is necessary
to wait for the power supply and pre-loading time (about 2-3 sec.) before starting up the converter.
If the contact block is placed between the inverter and the motor it is necessary to act thus, on arrest, the
converter is blocked first and after 30÷40 ms the switch is switched on. To do this it is sufficient to put a

10.2 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The logic inputs become active at high level while they are inactive at low level.
High level ( H ) or level 1 : Voltage from 20 e 28V dc absorption between 5 and 10 mA
Low level ( L ) or level 0 : Voltage from 0 to 6V dc absorption below 10 µA;

11. LOGIC OUTPUTS

11.1 POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS
Since the transistor logic outputs of both the collector and the emitter are free they can both be used
indifferently with internal or external power supply and with loads connected between the emitter and the 0 or
between the collector and the positive power supply; the presence of the internal zener eliminates the need
for the flywheel diode even with inductive jacks such as relay coils.
The diagram below shows both possible types of use with external power supply ; it is also possible to use
internal power supply 0P +24V which is available at terminals 10 and 11 of the regulation connection

12. SETTING UP

12.1 INITIAL CONFIGURATION ( DEFAULT )

Unless otherwise required the converter is delivered with the default settings which are suited to working with
a MEC 380V 50 Hz series motor of a power which is adequate for the converter.
The following functions are provided:

1. Voltage/frequency characteristic linear from 0 to fmax = 50Hz with an output voltage 0 ÷ 380V
(P63=50Hz, P68 = 100%; P31 = 100%; P62 = 380 V; P71 = P72 = P73 = P74 = 0)
2. Nominal motor current 100% of the nominal converter current ( P61 = 100% )
3. Maximum torque of 400% of the nominal torque of motor equal to the product Inmot x cosϕ where cosϕ
motor = 0.85 ; ( P64 = 0.85; P41 = -400%; P42 = 400% )
4. Maximum current of the converter depends on overload type, 150% or 200% of the nominal current ( P40 =
150% or P40=200%)
5. Heat curve for self-ventilated motors ( C33 = 2 ) with reduction of current limit if the protection device
occurs ( C34 = 0 )
6. Immediate converter cut-off without waiting for minimum frequency (C28 = 0 )
7. Acceleration and deceleration ramp included ( C26 = 1 ) with equal values on the four dials of 10 s ( P21
= P22 = P23 = P24 = 10 )
8. Minimum initial boost ( P30 = 40%)
9. No sliding compensation ( P32 = 0 )
10. Regenerative function with mains out exclusion ( C35 = 0 )
11. Start up of motor in rotation not enabled (C41 =0)
12. Pre-loading insertion enabled by the software ( C37=1 )
13. Digital inputs ( C01 ÷ C08 ) predisposed for choice of reference for external potentiometer or digital
potentiometer with increase and decrease function and the possibility of reference inversion, input by
external consent and alarm reset.
14. Digital outputs ( C11 ÷ C13 ) predisposed on logic signals of Converter running, Converter ready to run
and End ramp
15. None of the alarms is excluded .

12.2 PRELIMINARY TESTS

Before the setting up of the frequency converter, carefully check that :

• the cabling corresponds to the connection diagram with particular care to provide the input inductor on R,
S, T where required, that the control signals are correctly defined, connected and fed, the external
reference, if used must arrive correctly at the terminal block.

• All screws, terminals and cables are connected correctly and are well tightened.

• There are no short circuits due to defective cables or insufficiently insulated cable terminals.

• The frequency converter is properly connected to ground, that there is no dispersion or short circuiting
either in the mains power supply circuit or in the connections to the motor.

Check that the Default configuration is in accordance with the insertion diagram provided.
If it is not it is necessary to modify some parameter. To do this, since it is necessary to supply power supply to
the regulation, if there is any doubt about configurations being compatible with the external connections,
momentarily disconnect the motor before supplying power supply to the converter to set the correct
parameters.
A few seconds after having supplied voltage to the power terminals R,S,T the word “ STOP “ will appear on
the display, in case some alarm is detected by the converter, the word ‘STOP’ is flashing. In this case use the
external button or the C30 ( = 1 ) connection to reset the alarms, after eliminating the cause of the alarm.

User Manual 12-1 TIC – DFNT Series

 Rev. 4.5 12/03/2002

Once the word ‘STOP’ is not flashing anymore ,change the parameters for the desired configuration by using
the small keyboard or via p.c. serial line.
Then reconnect the motor, put the reference to 0 , start running by activating the external control. The word “
RUN “ or the frequency at the value next to zero will appear, and the converter starts up ; now increase the
reference and the motor will start to turn.
To arrest the system it is sufficient to de-activate the run control and the converter will run in free-evolution if
the stop has not been programmed under minimum speed and the word “STOP“ appears ; if, on the other
hand, the reference is taken back to zero the motor stops but the converter continues to run (“RUN“ remains
on the display or it shows the frequency or other writing but not the word “STOP“ ) and so therefore be careful
as while the motor is not moving it remains supplied with voltage.
Removing the external consent however the converter shuts off immediately and the display starts flashing
indicating the activation of an alarm. To start running again it is first necessary to give back the external
consent and then reset the system and only afterwards the converter and, if required, it will start running
again.

12.3 CONSIDERATIONS ON THE WORKING CONVERTER

Once the motor has been started turning, the following must be considered, to assess if it is working properly:

• The converter should not cause any irregular noise or unusual vibration during the working of the motor.
• An alteration in the frequency reference has as its consequence an effective alteration in the number of the
motor’s revolutions.
• If, during the process of acceleration / deceleration, the motor does not move or a safety function is
activated, it is necessary to check the following points:
1. The motor’s load ( check it is not over the motor-converter )
2. The acceleration / deceleration time ( if necessary the acceleration/deceleration times, parameters
P21 ÷ P25, can be lengthened )
• 3. The compensation value of the traditional drop ( if a high torque is required at pickup it may be
necessary to increase the initial voltage, parameter 30 )

When everything is working correctly after having made suitable adjustments to the configuration and the
parameters, it is necessary to permanently memorise the alterations which have been made saving the
variables in the system’s permanent memory ( C63 = 1 ).

If the parameters are not saved the working configuration remains valid until voltage is lost since each time the
converter receives power supply it starts up again with the values of the last configuration saved.

13. SETTING AND DISPLAY WITH SMALL KEYBOARD

13.1 PHYSICAL ARRANGEMENTS

The small keyboard has three keys, ‘ S ‘ (select), ‘ + ‘ (increase ), ‘ -‘ ( decrease ) and a four and a half-figure
display plus the decimal points and ‘ - ‘ sign .

s + -

13.2 ORGANISATION OF THE INTERNAL VARIABLES

The converter is completely digital so there is no hardware setting to be done, except for the factory hardware
settings, and the settings, regulation, and displays (all digital) are carried out by means of the displays on the
equipment or by means of a personal computer and serial line.
To facilitate the setting and remembering of all the accessible variables they have been grouped together as
follows :

Parameters ( PAR ), Connections ( CON ), Internal variables ( INT ), Alarms ( ALL ) , Digital inputs ( INP ),
Digital outputs ( OUT ).
Within each group the variables are arranged numerically with numbers currently not in use being available for
future additions.

13.3 PARAMETERS ( PAR )

The parameters are defined as those of the regulating variables whose numerical value has an absolute
meaning (e.g. P63 = Nominal Motor Frequency = 50 Hz ) or have a value which is proportional to the basic
scale (e.g. Maximum Working Frequency = 150% of nominal frequency). They are divided into Free
parameters, some of those can always be modified, other can be modified only with the converter in rest ( Off-
line ), Reserved, only alterable Off-line and after writing the access code for the reserved parameters ( P60 ) ,
and Reserved for TDE MACNO , which are only visible and alterable Off-line and after writing the access
code for the TDE MACNO parameters ( P99 ).
The characteristics of each parameter are identifiable by the Identification Code as shown below :

absent for P<100 absent: free parameter

value 1 for P≥100 n= parameter alterable offline

r = reserved parameter

parameters t = TDE MACNO reserved parameter

For example : P60 r = parameter 60 reserved

1P00 t = parameter 100 reserved to TDE MACNO

 Rev. 4.5 12/03/2002

13.4 CONNECTIONS ( CON )

Connections are defined as the setting variables in which each numerical value is associated with a well
defined command or function { e.g. Ramp engage , C26 = 1 , or Disengage ramp , C26 = 0 , or Save
parameters in permanent memory, C62 = 1 } . These are divided into Free connections which are always
modifiable or only with the converter off (Off-line ), Reserved, only modifiable Off-line and after writing the
access code for reserved parameters ( P60 ).
The characteristic of each connection is identifiable by the Identification Code as shown below

Connection absent : free connection

code C n = connection alterable off-line
Identification r = reserved connection
number 0÷ 63

13.5 ALARMS ( ALL )

Together with the safety functions for the converter, the motor or the machine the Alarm Active or Alarm Not
Active state can be shown on the display.
The tripping of a safety causes the converter to stop and the display to flash, unless it has been “ excluded “.
With a single display it is possible to have all the indications with the following format:

E.g. A.03.L = Power alarm not active

A.08.H = External alarm active (no consent to input defined as External Consent ).

The alarms are all memorised and so remain until the cause of the alarm is removed and they have been
reset (Reset alarm input active ) or ( C30 = 1 )

alarm excluded
H = alarm active (tripped)
alarm not excluded

Alarm code A L = alarm not active

Identification number

14. SMALL KEYBOARD

14.1 RESTING STATE

This is the display’s state straight after switching on or when nobody is working on the programming keys ( 5
seconds after the last movement , unless it is displaying an internal variable or a digital input or output).
When the small keyboard is in the resting state, if the converter is not running the word “STOP “ is displayed ;
if the converter is running the internal variable chosen is displayed with connection C32 or the state “RUN”.
If the converter is in an alarm state, with one or more safeties having been tripped, the writing on the display
starts flashing and automatically is showed the active alarm (if there are more than one is showed the active
alarm with the lower number).

14.2 MAIN MENU

Starting out from the Resting State by pressing ‘ S ‘ you enter the roll type Main Menu which contains
indications of the type of variable which can be displayed:

PAR = Parameters CON = Connections INT = internal variables

ALL = alarms INP = Digital inputs OUT = Digital outputs

To change from one list to another just press‘ + ’ or ‘ - ’ and it will change in the order shown in the diagram.
Once the list has been chosen you go to the Submenu desired by pressing ‘ S ’ ; re-entry to the Main Menu
from a successive visualization , like will be explain in the next pages, can be done by pressing ‘ S ‘ once or
twice in quick succession (less than one second).
The return to the Resting State occurs automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity whether starting from some
submenus (see submenus) or from the main menu.

14.3 SUBMENU FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PARAMETERS ( PAR ) AND CONNECTIONS ( CON )
From ‘ PAR ’ or ‘ CON ’ you can enter the Submenu list by pressing ‘ S ’ ; once into the list it is possible to
scroll through the existing parameters and connections by pressing ‘ + ’ or ‘ - ’ to move by increments up or
down; also in this case the list is a roll round type.
Beside the number corresponding to the various parameters or connections the letter ‘r’ appears if they are
reserved or ‘t’ if they are reserved to TDE MACNO and the letter ‘ n ’ if to alter them it is necessary for the
converter not to be running (off-line ) ; all the reserved parameters are of the ‘ n ’ type, alterable only with the
converter stopped ( off-line ).
If you press ‘ S ’ the Value of the parameter or the connection which can thus be read is displayed; by
pressing ‘ S ‘ again you return to the submenu list.
If you press ‘ S ’ twice in rapid succession (less than 1 second) you return to the main menu.

 Rev. 4.5 12/03/2002

The system returns automatically to the Resting State after 5 seconds of inactivity have elapsed. To modify
the value of the parameter or connection once in display it is necessary to press the ‘ + ’and ‘ - ’ keys at the
same time ; at that moment the decimal point of the first number on the left starts to flash warning you that at
that moment the movement of the ‘-’ and ‘+’ keys will change the set value; the alteration of the value can only
be carried out with the converter stopped if the parameter is of the ‘ n ’ type and only after keying in the access
code, P60, if the parameter is of the ‘ r ’ type, and only after entering the access code P99 for the parameters
which are reserved to TDE MACNO, type ‘ t ’ .
The parameters reserved to TDE MACNO and the connections do not appear in the list unless the access
code P99 is entered.
Once the value is correct press ‘ S ’ and it returns to the submenu list making the changed parameter or
connection operative; if, after having altered the value, you should wish to escape without altering the
previous values just wait for 5 seconds ; if you do not touch the value to escape it is sufficient to press ‘S’
again ( the previous value will be made operative). Once in the submenu it is enough to refrain from doing
anything for the small keyboard to return to the resting state.

15. STORING AND RESETTING WORKING AND DEFAULT PARAMETERS

The converter has three types of memory:

1. The non permanent working memory which holds the parameters which are used for working and where
the modified parameters are stored; such parameters are lost if the power supply to the regulation fails.
2. The permanent work memory where, if required, the current working parameters being used can be
memorised to be used later (C63=1, Save Parameters on EEPROM).
3. The permanent system memory which contains the default parameters.

On being switched on the converter transfers into working memory the parameters of the permanent memory
to work with. If alterations are carried out on the parameters these are made and memorised in the working
memory and those are lost if the power supply is switched off unless they have been saved in permanent
memory.
If after making the alterations in the working memory you want to return to the previous values it is sufficient to
load into this memory the parameters of the permanent memory ( Read Parameters from EEPROM C62=1).
If during the writing stage the power supply should fail and the EEPROM parameters have been altered, it is
necessary to take up the default parameters again ( C61=1 Reset the Default Parameters), to make the
appropriate corrections and then save them again in the permanent work memory (C63=1).
All reset and saving operations are carried out with the converter off-line and after having entered the key
word (P60=95).

Since the default parameters are standard parameters and certainly differ from the personalised
ones it is advisable, for every single converter, after installation a careful copy is made of the
parameters of the permanent memory so as to be able to reproduce them if the converter should be
replaced, or if memory is reset with the default parameters.

17. DESCRIPTION OF FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS

17.1 GENERAL SETTING AND READING CRITERIA

The parameters are almost always expressed as a percentage of a base value ; this is particularly useful if it is
necessary to change the motor or converter rating as it is then enough just to modify the reference variables
(P61÷P64) and the rest changes automatically.
With this form of setting the stability of the various regulator loops is ensured, given that there have to work
with variables which automatically adjust themselves in relation to the chosen base values.
The parameter descriptions and the way they operate often refer to block diagrams which aim to show the
implementation functions; when reading these diagrams the following indications should be kept in mind :

• the rectangular blocks identified by “Pxx” represent functions with parameters whose values can be set by
the small keyboard, within the allowed limits.
• The contacts, on or off, indicated by “Cxx’ represent connections which can be set by the small keyboard
and are indicated in the position corresponding to the value 0 (not active) for binary connections which can
be at 0 or 1 ( L or H ), while the connections which can have more positions are indicated as commutators
with a connection number corresponding to the default functions allocated to them.
• The on or off contacts identified with a mnemonic name (e.g. ”AB. REF1”) indicate the function performed
by the logic input functions through the corresponding inputs ;the contacts are indicated in their rest
positions, with the input not active.
• The rectangular blocks identified by “dxx” represent the variables which can be shown on the display.

17.2 SETTING OF THE MOTOR PARAMETERS

P61 Nominal motor current as % of the nominal current of the converter

P62 Nominal motor voltage in volts
P63 Nominal motor frequency in Hz
P64 Nominal power factor of motor ( cosϕ )

These are fundamental parameters since they are at the basis for all of the characteristics which are inherent
to the working of the motor: frequency, speed, voltage, current , torque and thermal safety.
They can be taken directly from the motor’s registration plate (P62,P63,P64), plus those of the converter for
P61 , with the following relationship :

P61 = (Inom_motor *100.0))/(Inom_converter)

E.g. Converter : DFNT 22 , Inom_converter = 48A

Motor : Series MEC , P = 22KW, Vn = 380V , f = 50Hz, Inom_motor = 43A, cosϕ = 0.85

P61 = (43*100)/48 = 89.6%

P62 = 380.0
P63 = 50.0
P64 = 0.850

If power factor is unknown but the motor’s power and efficiency ( efficiency values of 0.85-0.93 for motors
from 7.5 to 55 kW can be estimated) ( e.g. if η = 0.92) , P64 can be calculated from the relationship

P64 = cosϕ = (P*1000)/( η*√3*Vn*In) = (22*1000)/(0.914*√3*380*43) = 0.850

The default parameters relate to a motor with a nominal voltage of 380V, a nominal current equal to that of the
inverter ( 48A per DFNT 22 ), a nominal frequency of 50Hz and a power factor of 0.85.

 Rev. 4.5 12/03/2002

17.3 SETTING OF MAXIMUM WORKING FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE

The maximum working frequency (corresponding to 100% of the frequency reference) is fixed, with reference
to the motor’s nominal frequency (P63) , using the following relationship :

P68 = (fmax_lavoro *100.0) / P63

e.g. P63 = 50 Hz, fmax_work = 60Hz P68 = 60*100.0/50 = 120.0%

Default P68 = 100.0% for which fmax_work = P63

The maximum working voltage is set with reference to the nominal voltage of the motor (P62) using the
following relationship

P69 = (Vmax_work *100.0) / P62

e.g. P62 = 380 V Vmax_work = 440V P69 = 440*100.0/380 = 115.7%

During the converter’s running. (On-line) , by using P31 it is possible to correct the working voltage according
to the ratio P31/100.

Default P31 = 96.0% to take account of the converter’s intrinsic falls.

With the default values P68 , P69 and P31 , the maximum working values correspond to the motor’s nominal
frequency and high voltage set in P63 and P62.

17.4 SETTING OF WORKING VOLTAGE -FREQUENCY CURVE

Using the parameters P71 , P72 , P73 and P74 it is possible to define a three-section working curve by points
(so as to be better able to adjust to the desired characteristics).
Points P72 and P74 define the frequency percentage with reference to the maximum working frequency (P68)
while points P71 and P73 define the percentage voltage with reference to the maximum working voltage
(P69).
The following curve should clarify the explanation.

If a number of points which is less than the foreseen number is sufficient to define the curve just program at 0
the frequencies of the points which are not used (P72 and/or P74), so that they will not be considered in the
interpolation.

There are some limitations on setting the characteristics:

- Frequencies (P72 and P74) must be in rising order and the distance between two adjacent
points must be grater than 5%
- Corresponding voltages (P71 and P73) must be in rising order

If this limitations are not respected the system doesn’t take in account the point whose component was set
wrongly and it is cleared to 0. Every time one of this parameters (from P71 to P74) is changed, it is better to
verify if the system has accepted the new value.

18. INPUT-OUTPUT CONFIGURATION

18.1 LOGIC INPUTS

The converter has 8 opto-insulated digital inputs whose logic functions, via the connection associated with
each input, can be configured choosing between the functions implemented in the control.
The connections associated with the various inputs together with the possible programmable functions are
shown in the diagram below where, each logic input ( Lix ) is associated to its configuration connection with
the programmed default function indicated, and where functions are listed with an address (number) to be
programmed for allocation.
For example if it is wished to allocate to input n.5 ( L.i.5) the function ‘enabling of power on’ (PR ON) it is
necessary to program connection 5, allocated to terminal 5 of the control connector, with the number. 13
associated to the “[Link]” function (C05=13 ) .
The allocation which is indicated is the default configuration. (For example the logic input L.i.1 (terminal 1 )
has as its assigned the function that the default function 9 “increase digital potentiometer “.
The functions become active (H) when the input level is in its high state 20V < V < 28V .
The functions not allocated assume as default state that indicated in the corresponding box ; for example, if
the function ‘external consent’ is not allocated by default it becomes ‘active (H)’ so that for the converter it is
as if the field consent was present.
Input L.i.4 ( terminal 4 ) has only one allocation which the function “run enabling ( RUN )”.

18.2 LOGIC OUTPUTS

The converter has 3 logic outputs in the form of opto-insulated transistors which start conducting when the
level of the function associated to them is active (H), and whose logic functions can be configured by
programming the connection associated with each output with the address of the desired function chosen from
among the available functions (see diagram).
For example if it is wished to associate the function ‘ramp end’ to logic output 1 (terminal 13 and 14 of the
control connector) it is necessary to program connection 11 with number 6 ( C11=6 ).
The addresses indicated in the three programming connections show the default functions associated to the
corresponding logic outputs ; for example the functions ‘Converter running’ is associated with the logic output

18.3 ANALOG OUTPUTS

In the control there are two analog outputs VOUTA and VOUTB , terminals 27 and 26 respectively of the
regulation connector, obtained thorough two reversible Digital-analog converters with 11 bit resolution ; the
maximum output voltage is ± 10 V for a maximum current of 2mA .
To each of the two outputs is associated an internal regulation variable chosen from those on the list shown
below; the allocation is made by programming the connection relating to the output in question, ,C15 for
VOUTA and C16 for VOUTB , with the number, shown in the table below , corresponding to the variable
concerned. It’s possible to set the percentage of the internal variables corresponding to the maximum output
voltage (10V) using the parameters P57 (VOUTA) and P58 (VOUTB).
The default in VOUTA is a signal proportional to the current provided by the converter(C15=11) , and in
VOUTB there is a signal proportional to the working frequency (C16=21).

18.4 SERIAL COMMUNICATION

The drive is able to communicate using an RS-485 compatible serial interface, with full control of its capability
of working. The language used is the Modbus protocol, configurable in one of two transmission modes ASCII
o RTU setting the C44 connection.

The selection of ASCII or RTU mode defines the bit contents of message fields transmitted serially and
determines how information will be packed into the message fields and decoded. The principal difference
concerns the time interval occurs between characters without causing an error: the ASCII mode allows up to
one second, while in RTU mode each message must be transmitted in a continuos stream ( less then 1 ms at
19200 baud) but the character density is double than ASCII for the same baud rate.

The baud rate is chosen with the parameter P95 and the allowed values are: 19,2 - 38,4 - 57,6 Kbaud.

The drive is always the slave in the communication, in the sense that it can only respond by supplying the
requested data to the master or by taking the action requested if its address (set in P94) is equal with that
included in the message.

Every transmitted word is composed by 11 bit: 1 start bit, 8 data bits (least significant sent first) and 2 stop
bits. There parity check is not included.

Start Stop
Data

The converter serial buffer is limited to 256 bytes so it will be ignored message greater than this value.

The Modbus protocol has many functions, but for our application are enough only few of that. In the following
table are reported the implemented functions with their corresponding codes:

Code Function Description

01 Read Coil Status Reading of digital input/output
03 Read Holding Registers Reading data from the memory
15 Force Multiple Coils Writing digital input/output
16 Preset Multiple Registers Writing data in the memory

18.4.1 01 Read Coil Status

This function allows to read the digital input/output state.

Note that the management of the digital entries is made in a way that the command of RUN must be given
from the Control terminal and from Serial line, while all the other digital entries could be changed or from
Control terminal or from Serial line (in parallel).
By default, the value of RUN input from serial line is high, while all the other inputs are low, thus to allow the
users to control all the digital inputs from the Control terminal also without using the serial line.
Using the function Read Coil Status it is possible to read the state of effective digital input/outputs, specifying
the correct address written in the following table:

Starting address Max number of Description

The input/output number order is expressed in the corresponding tables into par. 13.5 e 13.6.

18.4.2 03 Read Holding Register

This function allows to read all Parameters, Connections, Internal Values and some state variables.
To access to these data it is necessary to specify the correct address (expressed in the following table) and to
take into account the internal representation for a good quantification of the values read:
these are specified into Parameter list (see par. 13.1) and into Internal value list ( see par.13.3), while for the
Connection there are always absolute values.

19. FREQUENCY REFERENCE (SPEED) SELECTION AND ADAPTATION

It is possible the use of five frequency references, two suitably adapted analog references (REF1 and REF2)
and three digital references (P7, digital potentiometer and from field-bus) whose values are added together to
give the total reference ; a circuit limiter for the maximum and minimum value of the sum (see diagram).
The value of the reference is always expressed as a percentage of the maximum working frequency
(P63*P68/100) so 100% is the maximum frequency (speed).

19.1 ANALOG REFERENCE REF1

The analog signal between ±10V applied to terminal 21 (A.I.1) of the terminal block M1 is converted into a
digital signal with a 10 bit resolution (1/1024), it is then multiplied by the parameter P1 and added to P2. The
result REF1 is given by the relationship :

REF1= ((A.I.1/10.)*P1) + P2

to be used it has to be enabled either by activating the function “ enable reference 1 “ (AB.REF1) allocated to
a logic input or via the connection C22=1 .
By selecting P1 and P2 it is possible to obtain the most varied linear relationships between the input signal

19.3 DIGITAL REFERENCE (REF3)

The value programmed in P7 can be used either as a fixed internal reference either by activating the ‘enable
reference 3’ (AB.REF3) function allocated to an input or by activating the connection C24=1.

19.4 DIGITAL POTENTIOMETER (REF4)

This is a function which enables us to obtain a reference which is adjustable by the terminal block with the use
of two logic inputs to which are allocated the input functions ‘increase digital pot.’ ([Link]) and ‘decrease
digital pot.’ ([Link]) .
In its default setting [Link] is allocated to L.I.1 ( terminal 1 M1) [Link] to input L.I.2.( terminal 2 M1).
The reference is obtained by the increase or decrease in an internal counter using the functions [Link] and
[Link] respectively.
The speed of increase or decrease is fixed by parameter P20 (acceleration time of the digital pot.) which fixes
the time it takes the reference to go from 0 to 100% in seconds, while keeping [Link] always active (this time
is the same as for going from 100.0% to 0.0% keeping [Link] active).
If the [Link] and [Link] are activated at the same time the reference remains still.
The movement of the reference is enabled only when the converter is running (on-line).
The starting reference value, at the moment when the converter starts to run, is set by the value programmed
in parameter P8 ( P8=2.0% of default) if it is not active neither the function “last digital pot. value” (DP.L.V)
(not active by default), nor the connection C20 (C20=0 default) is active, while the starting reference value
remains the same as it was the last time the converter was stopped, even if in the meantime the supply of
voltage had been interrupted, when it is active either the function [Link] or connection C20 is active.
Thanks to the permanent memory even if the electrical supply is lost, the digital potentiometer can be used as
if it were a physical potentiometer.
Its working is summarised in the following table :

Converter [Link] [Link] [Link] C20 REF4

running on-line
H H L x x increases
H L H x x decreases
H L L x x still
H H H x x still
L x x x x still
L -> H x x L L P8
L -> H x x H L REF4 L.v.
L -> H x x L H REF4 L.v.
L -> H x x H H REF4 L.v.

H = Active x = do not care

L = non Active L -> H = Change from Off-line to On-line

REF4 L.v. (Last Value) = Value of REF4 last time it was stopped

The digital potentiometer reference is displayed in D14 and to be enabled requires the activation of the
function ‘enabling of reference 4’ (AB.REF4) after having been assigned an input or the activation of
connection C25 (C25=1) .
With the default parameters the functions [Link] and [Link] are allocated to inputs L.I.1 (terminal 1) and
L.I.2 (terminal 2), the function AB.REF4 is assigned to input L.I.3 (terminal 3) while the function [Link] is
neither assigned not active and C20 = 0.
Therefore, using the external buttons +24V at terminals 1 and 2 it is possible to increase or decrease the
reference with a ramp of 50 sec (P25=50) , starting out from every start up of the converter with an initial value
of 2%(P08=2.0).
If neither [Link] nor [Link] is activated the value P8 can be used as a fixed reference by activating
AB.REF4.

19.5 REFERENCE FROM FIELD BUS

Our converters are able to communicate via 2 field bus, using some optional electronic cards internally
combined to the regulation card.

Field bus Maximum transmission speed

CAN-OPEN 1 Mbaud
PROFIBUS DP 12 Mbaud
More information about this field bus are in the Appendix.

19.6 TOTAL REFERENCE LIMIITATION AND REVERSE

Through the logic function ‘reverse reference’ (REV) assigned to an input or to the connection C36 it is
possible to reverse the reference according to the following logical sequence (OR-EXCLUSIVE):
REV = 0 C36 = 0 Non reversed reference (default values)
REV = 1 C36 = 0 Reversed reference
REV = 0 C36 = 1 Reversed reference
REV = 1 C36 = 1 Non reversed reference
The reverse of the reference occurs before the ramp so that, if this is not excluded, the reversal of the rotation
takes place gradually.
Through the parameters P18 and P19 it is possible to limit the total reference value within a range of the set
values, taking into consideration that P18 is the limit as regards the positive frequencies and P19 for the
negative frequencies. The value that the two parameters can assume is ±105%, so it is possible, by suitable
settings to limit the working in the two quadrants to just one quadrant.
As an example the following conditions are possible :
P18 = 100.0% P19 = 100.0% -100.0% < Frequency reference < 100.0% default
P18 = 30.0% P19 = 20.0% -20.0% < Frequency reference < 30.0%
P18 = 80.0% P19 = -20.0% 20.0% < Frequency reference < 80.0%
P18 = -30.0% P19 = 60.0% -60.0% < Frequency reference < -30.0%

19.7 ACCELERATION, DECELERATON AND ROUNDING OFF RAMP

By default, (C26=1), the frequency reference provides the inclusion of the rounding off ramp. With the
parameters P21,P22,P23 and P24, the acceleration and deceleration inclinations can be independently set in
both directions of movement, setting, in seconds, the time taken to go from 0 to 100% ; in particular :

P21 set the reference time necessary to accelerate from 0% to +100%

P22 set the reference time necessary to decelerate from 100% to 0%

20. AUTOTUNING PROCEDURE

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the voltage drop across the stator Resistor and IGBTs and beside to
evaluate the optimal dead-time effect compensation characteristic. This allows to optimise performances at
low speed when dead-time effects are particularly negative.

The connection to enable the test is C48, by setting C48 to 1 the display shows:

(Auto)

The converter is ready for the test, at RUN (digital input L.i.4), the converter starts the autotuning test.

The world ‘A run’ is displayed :

During the test the motor does not move from the
(A run) initial position while current and voltage
measurements are executed .

The end of the test execution is displayed by the ‘A End’ word.

.

Setting to 0 the logical input L.i.4 (RUN) the test ends parameters achieved.

Test are interruptible by setting L.i.4 (RUN) to 0; in this situation converter will display alarm (A14) while the
results achieved are stored into the memory. Before re-executing the test, it is necessary to check the
modified parameter and to store the default values (C61=1) or the EEPROM values (C62=1).

21. LOAD EFFECT COMPENSATION

21.1 STATOR DROP COMPENSATON (START UP IN TORQUE)

Using P30 it is possible to increase the voltage value at low frequencies so as to compensate for the drop due
to the stator resistance and so as to be able to have current and therefore torque even in the start up phase;
this is necessary if the motors starts up under load.
The value which can be set refers to the drop voltage on the Stator Resistor (P70) and can be adjusted from 0
up to a maximum of 400.0%. Particular care must be taken in setting the P30 value as it determines the
current values fed at low speed: a value too low for P30 results in limiting the torque of the motor, while a
value too high results in feeding high currents at low speed, whatever the load condition is.

In the start up under load it is useful to introduce a waiting time on the common ‘converter running’ so that the
motor can magnetise itself, so that it has from the outset the torque it expects available.
The P29 parameter makes it possible to quantify this wait time in milliseconds, in which the system is in an on-
line state, but the frequency reference is forcibly held at 0.
The most suitable value for P29 should be chosen according to the rating of the motor and the load conditions,
but in any case should be from a minimum of 400ms for motors of 7.5 KW up to 1s for motors of 55KW.

21.2 SLIPPING COMPENSATION

By using P32 it is possible to partly compensate for the motor’s fall in speed when it takes up the load ; the
adjustment is in fact a regulation of motor stator frequency and does not control the turns.
This compensation is obtained by increasing the motor’s working frequency by a quantity which is proportional
to the percentage working torque multiplied by the percentage value set in P32 , in relation to the motor’s
nominal frequency.
The value to be set depends both on the motor’s rating and poles, in any case it can in general terms vary
from 4% for a 7.5 KW motor to 1,8 - 2.0% for 45 KW motors. In default the compensation is excluded P32 = 0.

22. PLANT ADAPTATION PARAMETERS

22.1 FREQUENCY JUMP TO AVOID RESONANCE

Using the parameters P76, P77, P78 and P79 it is possible to exclude, as working frequencies, all those
frequencies falling within the two bands defined between P76 - P77 and P78 - P79, where P76, P77, P78 and
P79 are expressed as % of the maximum working frequency (see diagram)

Wherever exclusion bands are pre-set the converter behaves in the following way:
If the set frequency reference falls within the exclusion band it is maintained at the lower value of the band, if
the set value is less than the mid band value, while if the value is greater than the mid band value it assumes
the upper value.
In a transitional phase however the system passes through all of the band’s frequencies (ramp).
The use or otherwise of the exclusion bands requires the setting of the corresponding connection :

Band 1 (P76-P77) C38=0 (Default) not excluded,C38=1 excluded

Band 2 (P78-P79) C39=0 (Default) not excluded,C39=1 excluded

For example if the working fmax = 50Hz and the plant presents two resonance frequencies which are quite
clear at 45Hz and 35Hz the frequencies between 43 - 47 Hz and 33 - 37 Hz could be excluded setting

P76 = (33/50)* 100.0 = 66.0% -----------

P77 = (37/50)* 100.0 = 74.0% -----------

C38=1 Enables the first exclusion band

22.2 FREQUENCY (SPEED) REGULATOR AND STABILITY

The regulation system consists of a frequency adjustment loop over an active current (torque) regulation loop.
Both of these loops are controlled by integral proportional type regulators with error signal filters and work with
normalised signals so as to render the regulation constants as far as possible independent of the motor rating
with respect to the converter and the mechanics of the system.
The frequency is normalised with respect to the maximum working frequency and is displayed as a
percentage variable.
D3 is the percentage reference and D4 is the regulated percentage frequency, a frequency which added to the
motor’s slipping compensation frequency, if programmed, becomes the frequency of the motor’s feed voltage
resulting from the programmed Voltage-Frequency curve.
The value of the working frequency is displayed, in Hz, in D21.
The constants of the frequency regulator are fixed, in engineering units, by the parameters P80 , proportional
gain Kp , P81 , time in ms of the advance Ta constant equal to the time constant of the integral regulator
multiplied by the gain (Ta = Ti*Kp) , P82 , and the constant of the frequency error filter in ms.
The default values of such constants are calculated to ensure stability under almost all conditions, however if
the machine were to be rather too jumpy it is sufficient just to act on P80 to reduce the gain until stable, or
alternatively to increase the gain if the regulator were to be too slow.

22.3 TORQUE AND INTERNAL LIMITS REGULATION

The task of the torque regulator is to protect the mechanical system by limiting the maximum torque value
supplied by the motor to within the maximum limits (see par.18.4).
The torque signal comes from the active current absorbed by the motor normalised in accordance with the
product In*cosϕ (P61*P64) so that there is 100% torque when the motor absorbs active current equal to the
nominal current multiplied by the power factor ( cosϕ ).
Given the presence of the stator resistance which alters the value of the active current even when in the
presence of its P30 compensation this torque signal can be effectively considered such only when starting
from a working frequency greater than 10% of the maximum frequency.
Such signal is also subject to the relationship between the motor’s nominal current and that of the converter
(P61) and to have good control it is advisable not to let that relationship fall below 35-40% i.e. do not use a
converter of a rating which is greater than two and a half times that of the motor, nor use a motor which more
than one and a half times greater the converter.
Within the above indicated limits, and for standard motors, the torque regulator with the default values of the
compensation parameters, P83 (proportional gain), P84 (regulator’s advance time constant) and P85
(derivative term) behaves in a stable state; however in a case of strong vibration at high frequency of the
torque signal it may be appropriate to reduce P83 from 0.3 to 0.1.
With connection C09 not active ( C09=0 ) and the function “in torque function“ inactive or not allocated to any
input (TQ=L), the torque reference is obtained by the request, from the limited speed regulator within the
maximum positive torque value adjustable within a value which is lower than 400% (P42) and the maximum
negative torque value adjustable within a value which is greater than -400% (P41).

22.4 MAXIMUM TORQUE EXTERNAL LIMIT

By activating the external torque limit function (ABLC), after having allocated it to a logic input or to connection
C31 ( C31=1) it is possible to use an analogical signal between ± 10V , applied to terminal 19 of the control
connector ( A.I.3 ) , as a positive and/or negative torque limit , after having converted it into a digital signal,
with a resolution of 10 bit , and having multiplied it by P5 and added to P6.
The value of that signal, which must be positive, is equal to ((A.I.3 / 10 ) * P5 ) + P6 ; such value acting as
the limit only if it is lower than the other internal limits which already exist :

- P41 / P42 = maximum torque, in both directions, in relation to the nominal torque;

- maximum active component of available current (√(limit_current^2 - current_reactive^2)) with

reference to the nominal torque and with a lower limit of 10%;

- maximum torque limited at start up with motor in rotation ( limit settable by using parameter 1P14),
see par 19.1;

- maximum torque limited at output of the regulator for the bus voltage support when no mains supply
(assuming this function has been enabled by means of C41 ), see par.19.2.

- max torque limited during braking with DC voltage control, if enabled (C43), see par.19.5

22.5 ADDITIONAL TORQUE AND WORKING IN TORQUE

The analogic reference signal A.I.2 adapted and converted to REF2 (see par.19) can be used as an
additional torque signal in addition to the request of the frequency regulator if connection C09 is activated
(C09 = 1); by, on the other hand, activating the torque regulation function (TQ), using the logical input L.i.1, it
is possible to work with just the torque regulator and the REF2 reference ; as regards how critical is the control
of the torque (the regulation is not vectorial), this regulation should only be used for rotation frequencies of
motor flow (D4) above, in its absolute value, 10% of the maximum working frequency and moving from the
regulation of the speed to regulation of the torque while the motor is stable in its working Voltage-Frequency.

22.6 MAXIMUM CURRENT LIMITATION

The converter has a maximum current limitation circuit which if exceeded limits the maximum current supplied
to a value which is not greater than the lower of the value set at parameter P40, the value calculated by the
thermal image circuit (see par 19.7) and the value calculated by the motor’s thermal safety (see par. 19.8) .
With P40 the maximum current limit which can be supplied by the converter can be programmed from 0% up
to the maximum allowable for the DFNT series chosen with C56.
The limit is obtained by a reactive current regulator whose reference, displayed in D22, acts by decreasing
the voltage given out by the converter by the quantity displayed in D23, for this value therefore , express as a
% of the maximum working voltage , is 0 when the current supplied is lower than the maximum which is
allowed.
The regulation is a proportional integral type with proportional gain set in P86 (P86=0,2 default) and the
advance constant set in P87 (P87=20ms default).
Unless otherwise advised by TDE MACNO company, it is not recommended that you change these
parameters.

22.7 CONVERTER’S THERMAL IMAGE

The S1 Series allows two different overload type, setting with C56, that are 120% I NOM AZ (C56=1) or
150% I NOM AZ (C56=0 default); the S2 Series allows other two different overload type, always setting with C56,
that are 200% I NOM AZ for 30 seconds (C56=2) or 200% I NOM AZ for 3 seconds and 155% I NOM AZ for 30
seconds (C56=3 default); at every overload type correspond a different converter nominal current, like it is
possible to see in the table pag 2-1 and the parameter P53 always shows the actual value in Ampere rms.
On the basis of the current supplied, a calculation is made of the working temperature reached by the power
component joints supposing that the converter is working under normal ventilation conditions and in an
ambient temperature which is equal to the maximum allowed.
If this calculated temperature reaches the maximum permitted valued for the junctions the value of the
suppliable current is limited to a value slightly greater to the nominal current of the converter that is the
effective thermal current of the system.
Once that the limitation is activated it will be possible to overload another time only if the estimated
temperature decreases under its nominal value and this is possible only working for a period of time with
currents lower than their nominal value.
The calculation also takes into account the increase in junctions temperature reached when working at low
frequencies (below 2.5Hz ) due to the fact that the current is sinusoidal and so has peak values above the
average.

22.8 MOTOR’S THERMAL SAFETY

On the basis of the P66 parameters (thermal current as a % of the motor’s nominal current), P67 (the motor’s
thermal constant in seconds) and the current supplied by the converter, a calculation is made of the presumed
working temperature of the motor considering the ambient temperature to be that of the maximum permitted ;
the losses are calculated with the square of the absorbed and filtered current with the motor’s thermal
constant.
When this value is greater than the value deduced from that of the maximum permitted thermal current set in
P66 (value proportional to the square of the current), the thermal safety, the logic output o.L1 and the alarm
A06 are activated, whose action can be programmed using connection C34 and the A06 enable :

If A06 is disabled no action is done

If A06 is enabled the action depend from:

C34=0 (default value) the thermal alarm causes a reduction in the current limit to a current corresponding
to the motor’s thermal current

C34=1 The action of the thermal alarm cause the immediate arrest of the converter.

It’s possible to display in the internal variable d28 and in the analog output 28, in real time, the percentage of
motor thermal current referred to its nominal value.
When this percentage reaches 100%, the motor thermal protection is activated.
The logical output o.L.14 can be used like warning about thermal motor current: if this value became grater
than a threshold (set in P96) the logic output o.L.14 is activated.
The motor’s permitted thermal current, unless it has auxiliary ventilation independent of the rpm of rotation,
depends on the working frequency.
To take account of this there are 4 reduction curves for the permitted thermal current as functions of the
working frequency of the motor ( see diagram) ; the desired curve is selected with connection C33 as can be
seen in the table.

23. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

23.1 STARTING UP THE MOTOR IN ROTATION

Since the converter has a maximum current limit it can always be started running with no problems even if the
motor is already moving, for example, by inertia or dragged by part of the load.
In that event, on starting up, given that normally the frequency reference starts from values close to zero to
gradually rise with the ramp times to the working value, the motor is first subjected to a sudden deceleration,
within the limit, to then hook onto the reference and follow it with the ramp; this may be undesirable from a
mechanical standpoint, and the process could also trigger the overvoltage alarm for converters which do not
have a braking device.
To avoid this it is possible to suitably programme connection C41 , “management of flying restart of motor “,
which makes it possible to identify the speed of rotation of the motor, stressing it as little as possible, and to
position the output reference from the ramp at a value corresponding to that rotation so as to start from that
reference to then go on to working values.
This motor search function is primarily in one direction and thus needs to know in advance the direction of
rotation of the motor, positive frequency or negative frequency, which must be programmed in C41 ; if the
selection is wrong the motor is first braked to about zero velocity to then follow the reference to go to working
speed (as if the search function had not been used).
If there is a passive load and the inertia keeps the motor in rotation, it’s possible to select a search dependently
upon the sign of enabled frequency reference (C41=3-4).
There are two different values for C41 to enable this kind of search, the only difference is for manage the case
in which the frequency reference was zero: in this particular situation with C41=3 the system searches for
positive frequency, while with C41=4 the search will be made for negative frequency.
The C41 connection has five programming values which are selected as indicated below :
• C41=0 flying restart doesn’t manage
• C41=1 flying restart managed with positive frequency quadrant search
• C41=2 flying restart managed with negative frequency quadrant search
• C41=3 flying restart managed dependently upon the sign of enabled frequency reference (like C41=1 for 0)
• C41=4 flying restart managed dependently upon the sign of enabled frequency reference (like C41=2 for 0)
In default the flying restart isn’t managed ( C41=0 )

23.2 REGENERATION FUNCTION WHEN MAINS SUPPLY IS LOST

If the mains supply is lost during running, or if the mains supply suffers a drop of more than 30%, the converter
continues to work sustained by the condensers’ charge of the intermediate DC current until the voltage reaches
the minimum permitted level ,1P06 = 400V, (minimum voltage alarm A10), unless the mains supply has
returned in the meantime.
The running time without mains supply depends on the working conditions and the can be from fractions of a
second, motor little loaded and/or working at reduced frequency, to a few tens of milliseconds in the case of
loaded motors working at high rotation frequencies.
In the case of motors which are not heavily loaded and with high fly energy it is possible to overcome small
breaks in mains supply without locking up with the converter slowing down the motor in such a way as to exploit
the fly energy to keep the condensers charged of the intermediate DC circuit until mains voltage returns or until
the motor has slowed down to below minimum frequency (P50) at which value the converter locks up.
This function is enabled by activating connection C35 (C35=1); in default it is C35=0 ( function disabled).
In this phase the voltage control of the DC Bus is carried out by a regulator, proportional only, with gain set in P89
(2 is the default value), which reads the DC bus voltage d24, compares it with the level set in P98 (600V is the
default) and acts on the torque limits d30 and d31 of the motor which in the meantime is slowed down so as to
work in recovery.
This regulation, when it is enabled (C35 = 1 ), on the loss of mains supply (o.L.12=H ) , comes into play
(o.L.13=H ) for the normal regulation and excludes the re-entry of this latter by letting the motor returns to the
present rpm set in the reference by means of the ramp so as to avoid sudden transients.

23.3 POWER ON FUNCTION

This is a logic function which unlocks the semi-controlled input bridge permitting the gradual charging of the
condensers of the DC intermediary circuit and supplies electrical feed to the converter for successive working.
The function becomes active if both the input function ‘enable power’ ([Link]) and the connection C37 (C37=1)
are on; in default both are active.
The [Link] function can be allocated to one out of the inputs in such a way as to impede or enable by means of
external contact, the switching on of the power.
If not enabled this function locks up the converter with an alarm signal ( oL1=L and A13=H ), however the alarm
automatically resets when the power is activated and the condensers of the intermediate circuit have been
charged.
The power alarm (power fault A03 ) which checks any desaturation which might occur of one or more IGBT of
the converter due to some fault such as a short circuit, also de-activates the power by disconnecting the
converter from the mains supply.
The insertion or switching off of the power is in accordance with the criteria shown in the table :

[Link] C37 A03 Enable power oL10 A13

X X H OFF L H
0 X L OFF L H
X 0 L OFF L H
1 1 L ON H L

In default [Link]=1 and C37=1 so by supplying voltage to the converter the power is immediately enabled with
a gradual charging of the condensers.

23.4 OVERCOMING MAINS SUPPLY FAILURE WITH FLYING RESTART

If the ”Regeneration function when mains supply is lost” (see par 20.2) doesn’t work properly due to starting up
problems or if total power losses in continuos state are so high that they will lead to a excessive reduction in
speed, it is possible to use another function to overcome mains supply failure of few seconds.
This new function is enabled with C42=1, C35=0 (thus to disable the other function) and C41=1 or 2 (depending
on speed sign, see par 20.1): in this case if the mains supply is lost during running, or if the mains supply
became lower then level fixed in P97 (425 V default value), the power is disabled, motor runs in free evolution
and DC capacitors discharge slowly feeding supply voltage. If mains supply re-entry in a few seconds (up to
6,7) with regulation still running, a flying restart is executed thus to continue with normal working mode.

23.5 DC VOLTAGE LIMITATION IN BRAKING MODE

If braking circuit is provided (optional) maximum DC voltage level is limited by a power device that connects a
resistor in parallel with the bus capacitors if the DC voltage becomes grater than the value sets in 1P08t (750V)
and it works until voltage goes under 1P09t (730V): in this way energy transferred from the motor to the bus
during braking is dissipated on the resistor.
If braking circuit is not provided it can cause problems in braking mode when high fly energy motors are used:
DC voltage can overcome maximum voltage admitted 1P07t (800V), with consequent alarm that locks the
converter.
There is another possibility, enabling with C43=1 a particular function that limits the max regeneration torque
reducing the motor speed more slowly, when the DC voltage reaches the 1P27t (730V) level. The motor reduce
its speed in the shortest time thus to guarantee a DC voltage limited to 1P27t (800V).
By default this function is not managed (C43=0) leaving the braking circuit working (see par. 21.4).

23.6 MOTOR IN STALL

During start in torque, if the load is too high, the motor could be in stall with consequently risk of over-
temperature.
In order to prevent motor’s damages it’s advisable to use a protection function, setting C40=1: the converter will
be enabled to work in current limit only for the time expressed in P92, after that an alarm (A7) will be active, with
consequence power off.
This protection can be interesting if the load changes during the work, however preserves converter and motor
from mechanical break down.

23.7 DC INJECTION

The DC Injection, if enabled with C49=1, keeps the motor “stopped in torque” by injecting a continuos current if
the frequency reference is under the intervention threshold (express in P49).
With this function is possible to obtain only a low torque (< 10% of nominal value) at zero speed for the
asynchronous motor characteristics, if the active load torque is greater than this value the motor runs at slip
frequency correspondent to the load applied.
When the DC Injection is active the amplitude of the current depends on parameter P48 which is the Current
limit in this situation.
Remember that if is active the “Motor in stall protection” (C40=1) after the time express in P92, the converter
will be in alarm (A7).

23.8 RUN COMMAND WITH RETENTION

It could be useful to have the RUN (L.i.4) command active at the rising edge : for enable this function set
C50=1. In this operation mode the STOP command is also used (i15, after proper setting of one input logic)
which is level sensitive:

- low level: the converter is in STOP, power is disabled

- high level: the converter can be in RUN

The following diagram graphically explains the logical behaviour:

STOP H
(I15) • The RUN command is given on the
L rising edge of L.i.4 if at the same time
i15 is at high level.
RUN
H
(L.I.4) • When the STOP input (i15) goes down
the RUN command is taken off
L
• If the converter goes in alarm the RUN
EFFECTIVE command is taken off so will be
RUN H necessary to repeat the starting
COMMAND procedure.

23.9 ENERGY SAVING

This function, if enabled with C52=1, allows an energy saving with an automatic current reduction matched to
the load. The energy saving is significant especially for motors with low cos ϕ and for load lower than 40-50%
of nominal value, for load much great of this the saving is negligible.
When the Energy Saving is enabled the dynamic performances decreases also if it’s always guarantee a good
stability in every working area.

1 = on the first enable alarm
2..31 = on the corresponding internal value if its module is greater than P56

C15 = channel A
C16 = channel B
C58 = Reset Capture (for monitoring restart)

P54 = Sampling period expressed in unit of 90µs

P55 = Pre-trigger , number of points stored after the trigger event
P56 = Trigger level (in % of the internal value choose with C14)

In the OPERATION box it’s possible to see the actual operation mode: continuos samples acquisition
(monitoring) or keeping stored data (triggering).
The measure can start only if the MONITOR is in acquisition mode, if the initial state is triggering it’s
necessary to push the RESTARTING button for restart the acquisition.
The C14 connection is used to select the trigger event, that could be the rising edge of one configurable logic
input (L.I.18), the first active alarm or when the module of one internal value reaches the threshold express in
P56. To complete the MONITOR setting, program in C15 and C16 the internal variables to store, the sampling
period in P54 and how many points to store after the trigger event in P55.
Once the trigger is activated will be necessary to wait the end of the storage of all the samples observing
when the number of FINE BUFFER becomes constant (working with long sampling period in P54 causes a
trace time of many minutes).
When this storage phase will be completed it can be possible to start the data reading pushing the START
ACQUISITION button and observing the percentage of advancement in a little window.
Once this reading session is completed the two waves form will be showed with the trigger instant: keep
attention that the values are normalized respect to their base. The table in par. 15-3 contains the base for
each variable, for example:

Internal variable 11 = Current module in % of the converter nominal current

⇒ 100% = current output module equals to the nominal converter current
⇒ 25% = current output module equals to a quarter of the nominal converter current

At this point it’s possible to make some zoom writing the new coordinate into the proper box above the two
graph, save the wave forms for then recall with the SAVE and LOAD buttons and finally save the data
measured into a file with the button LOG REPORT..

24. INTERNAL SEQUENCES AND LOGIC OUTPUTS

24.1 CONVERTER READY

The converter ready state (o.L.0=H) is when there is not active alarm signal and at the same time there are
both the hardware and the software consents:
∗ The software consent is given by the connection C29 , (C29=1 default).
∗ The external consent (default input function at L.i.7 terminal 7) EC=H.
If a consent is lacking or there is an alarm active, the converter ready signal goes to the non active state
.L.0=L and stays is this state until the causes of the alarm are removed and the alarms are reset or the input
function ‘reset alarm’ is activated ,A.R = H; which , in default , is allocated to input L.i.8 (terminal 8 ) or
activating the software reset ,C30=1.
Keep in mind that activating the reset is obtained by going from Inactive to Active and not using Active !

24.2 RUN CONVERTER

When the converter is ‘’ready to run” o.L.0=H the ‘converter run’ can be put on (On-line) o.L.3=H ,
activating both the hardware and software functions:
∗ External run function (allocated to input Li4) RUN=H.
∗ Software run C21 ( C21=1 ) active in default.
The activation and the de-activation of the running, going from STOP (off-line) to RUN (on-line) is obtained in
accordance with the logic of the following table

Act. Ready o.L.0 RUN C21 ONLINE

L X X L
H L X L
H X 0 L
H H 1 H

24.3 CONVERTER STOP

In default the converter is instantaneously locked as soon as one of the run functions is de-activated
(immediate arrest); this may also cause the almost immediate arrest in rotation if the motor is loaded and there
is little inertia, while if the motor is in no-load and mechanical inertia is high it results in rotation by inertia.
Using C28 it is possible to choose to go to arrest only at minimum frequency (speed). It this function is
activated, C28 =1, in default it is 0 (immediate arrest), at the moment which a run function is de-activated, the
velocity reference is put at zero, before the ramp, so that the motor starts to slow down following the ramp
(with the converter still on-line) and the system lock (going from on-line to off-line) occurs only when the
frequency (velocity) assumes and absolute value which is lower than P50 (2.0% in default), i.e. when the
motor is almost stopped (arrest for minimum velocity). By suitably regulating P50 it is possible to make the
converter lock up coincide with the motor stopped.
The frequency state above the minimum , I d4 I > P50 , is signalled by o.L..2 = H.
In any case, whatever type of arrest is selected, the converter is immediately locked if there is any alarm
condition , oL.0 = L.
The following logic must be respected to go from “run ( RUN )“ in the arrest position

o.L.0 RUN C21 C28 o.L.2 ON-LINE

L X X X X L
H H 1 X X H
H X O O X L
H L X O X L
H X O 1 H H
H L X 1 H H
H X O 1 L L
H L X 1 L L

24.4 BRAKING ACTIVE

This a logic function of output o.L.11 which becomes active when the voltage in the intermediate circuit
becomes greater than the level set for the switching on of the braking resistance (1PO8t = 750V) and it
remains active until it falls below the switching off level (1P09t = 730V). This state coincides with the activation
of the braking device (optional).

24.5 OVER MODULATION

This function becomes active when to maintain the required motor voltage the converter goes outside the
linear modulation area and enters the overmodulation area, which happens when the output voltage required
multiplied by 1.41 is greater than the voltage of DC intermediate bus and this happens as soon as the mains
voltage falls to levels equal to or less than those required by the motor.
In this situation the converter ensures the flow to the motor but the current absorbed by the motor contains low
order harmonics (5°,7°, etc.) which could cause overheating ; if it is seen that during the working of the
converter it often becomes active and for long periods it is advisable to intervene at P31 and lower the voltage
generated so as to get out of this situation.

24.6 ALARM INDICATION AND EXCLUSIONS

In the presence of any fault alarm the converter locks up and the signal CONVERTER READY becomes non
Active ‘L’. When the converter is in an alarm situation the small keyboard display starts to flash on the written
message being shown; which alarms are involved can be seen by scrolling through the alarm indications (Axx)
and seeing which ones are active (H); those which are not active are low (L).
The de-activation of the alarms requires that its cause is first removed and the alarm is then reset (fault reset)
out the input programmed going from non Active to Active or by means of the small keyboard (C30=1).
It is possible to de-activate the various alarms individually after having viewed them in display by pressing the
keys ‘ + ’ and ‘ - ‘ simultaneously to enter into the programming state, and then to de-activate it with l ‘ - ‘ or,
de-activated to active it, using ‘ +’ ; then press ‘ S ‘ to escape.
When the individual alarm is de-activated the sign ‘ -‘ comes on before the writing [Link].Y which means that
whenever the critical conditions occur the signal will be maintained (the alarm will become Active H) but no
locking up or other intervention will occur

25. MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL

25.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before carrying out any maintenance or repair work on the converter, after removal of the feed
voltage, it is necessary to leave a time margin of at least 5-10 minutes. This period is necessary
for the condensers to discharge, after removal of mains supply, down to a safe level (<25V).

Since the frequency converter works entirely electronically, checks and maintenance are only rarely
necessary. Generally speaking attention should be paid to the following points :

• The frequency converter must be cleaned from time to time to remove impurities such as dust and dirt.
• The frequency converter’s ventilation slits, as well as those of the switchboard must be kept constantly
free; if there are any filters these must be periodically replaced so as to prevent obstruction of the passage
of air
• The funs must be regularly checked to see if they are producing any vibrations or noise, if they continue to
do so after cleaning they should be replaced. The perfect working order of the fun must be at all times
assured !
• Cables and screw terminals must be regularly checked ; defective parts must be immediately replaced.

25.2 MALFUNCTIONS AND BREAKDOWNS : THEIR INDICATION

The frequency converter has safety devices which, in case of breakdown, intervene to protect the converter
and the motor before they suffer any damage.
If a safety device is activated, the frequency converter output is blocked and the motor rotates by inertia.
The frequency converter signals this action be making the display flash.
If the frequency converter’s voltage feed is via a line contact and this is opened in the case of the intervention
of a safety device, the alarm signal cannot be maintained because the feed for the regulation of the converter
is lost, obtained directly from the power voltage.

If any malfunctions occur or the intervention of safety devices to the frequency converter, it is necessary to
check with care the possible cause and to take suitable countermeasures.
If the causes of the breakdowns are not found or if defective parts are found, it is necessary to contact TDE
MACNO Company giving them a detailed description of the circumstances of the breakdown.
