Local control

ACS880

Local control vs. external control

The ACS880 has two main control locations: external and local. The control location is selected with the Loc/Rem key on the control panel or in the PC tool.
External control
When the supply unit is in external control, control commands are given through
the I/O terminals (digital and analog inputs), or optional I/O extension modules
the embedded fieldbus interface or an optional fieldbus adapter module
the external (DDCS) controller interface, and/or
the drive-to-drive link.
External references are given through the fieldbus interface, analog inputs or drive-to-drive link.
Two external control locations, EXT1 and EXT2, are available. The user can select control signals (e.g. start and stop) and control modes for both external control locations. Depending on the user selection, either EXT1 or EXT2 is active at a time. Selection between EXT1/EXT2 is done via any binary source such as a digital input or fieldbus control word (see parameter 119.11 Ext1/Ext2 sel).
Note: Typically, ABB wires essential external control signals and status monitoring signals of a supply unit of the cabinet-installed drive to its digital inputs and relay outputs at the factory. We also set the parameters related to the external control signals accordingly. The commission engineer must not change these settings or the external control does not operate as planned. See the delivery-specific circuit diagrams.
Local control
The control commands are given from the control panel keypad or from a PC equipped with Drive composer when the supply unit is in local control.
Local control is mainly used during commissioning and maintenance. The control panel always overrides the external control signal sources when used in local control. When switched to local control, the control panel Start and Stop keys override the external Start/Stop source defined for the control program. However, to control the supply unit on
Control locations and operating modes 19
and off by the panel, you must still have the external Run enable and Start enable signals switched on at the appropriate digital inputs of the supply unit. See section Run enable,
Start/stop and Start enable control on page 23. Changing the control location to local can
be disabled by parameter 119.17 Local control disable.
The user can select by a parameter (149.05 Communication loss action) how the supply unit reacts to a control panel loss or PC tool communication break.

Operating modes

The IGBT supply unit can operate in two operating modes with different types of reference:
DC control
power control.
In both of these modes, the reactive power reference is possible simultaneously. The mode is selectable for each control location (Local, EXT1 and EXT2) in parameter group
119 Operation mode. For control chain diagrams for each reference type, see chapter Control chain diagrams.

What this chapter contains

This chapter describes the features and I/O interface of the control program.

Overview of the control program

ACS880 IGBT supply control program controls the IGBT supply unit with an IGBT bridge type supply module. The main functions of the control program are:
maintain DC or active power reference,
maintain reactive power reference,
control external charging circuit (when used),
control main contactor.
In addition, the control program protects the unit against overtemperature, DC or AC overvoltage and DC undervoltage. See section Charging on page 39. The control program also limits the active and reactive power as a function of the external temperature, and the temperature of the IGBTs. See section Power limiting due to heat rise in the supply module on page 34.

Control program configuration and programming

The control program is divided into two parts:
firmware program (forms the control program alone as standard)
application program (addition by the customer, for special cases only).
The firmware program performs the main control functions, including handling of DC voltage reference, reactive power reference, active power reference, supply unit logic (start/stop), I/O, feedback, communication and protection functions. Firmware functions are configured and programmed with parameters.

Application programming

The functions of the firmware program can be extended with application programming. (A standard delivery does not include an application program.) Application programs can be built out of function blocks based on the IEC 61131-3 standard using a PC tool available separately.
For more information, see Programming manual: Drive application programming (IEC 61131-3) (3AUA0000127808 [English]).

Programming via parameters

Parameters can be set via
the control panel, as described in chapter Using the control panel
the Drive composer PC tool, or
the fieldbus interface, as described in chapters Fieldbus control through the
embedded fieldbus interface (EFB) and Fieldbus control through a fieldbus adapter.
All parameter settings are stored automatically to the permanent memory of the supply unit. However, if an external +24 V DC power supply is used for the control unit, it is highly recommended to force a save by using parameter 196.07 Parameter save manually before powering down the control unit after any parameter changes.
If necessary, the default parameter values can be restored by parameter 196.06
Parameter restore.
Program features 23

Run enable, Start/stop and Start enable control

The user controls the operation of the IGBT supply unit with the Run enable command, Start/Stop command and Start enable command. When all commands are on in the control program, it controls the main contactor of the supply unit on with a relay output (relay output RO3 by default), and the charging contactor/relay (relay output RO1 by default). The main contactor connects the supply unit to the power line and the supply unit starts rectifying. If the Start/stop command or the Run enable command is off, the control program de-energizes the relay output and the main contactor switches off.
Note: If all supply and inverter modules connected to the common DC link have internal charging circuits of their own, no common charging circuit in the supply unit is needed, and the supply unit can start without doing the charging first. For more information, see section
Charging on page 39. If any of the commands is off, the control program de-energizes the
relay output and the main contactor switches off.
There is a parameter in the control program for defining the value or source for each of the commands. By default, the parameters define the command values or sources as follows:
Control program reads the Run enable command from digital input DI2.
Control program reads the Start/Stop command from digital input DI2.
Start enable is set on constantly.
Typically, DI2 is connected to the operating switch installed on the cabinet door. When the switch is on, the control program receives both the Run enable and Start/Stop commands via DI2.
Note: When you switch the control panel to local control, the control program starts reading the Start/Stop from the panel (Start and Stop keys). The parameter-defined Start/Stop source is not valid until you switch the panel back to remote control. The Loc/Rem key of the panel selects between local and remote control.
Note: Despite of the Local/Remote mode selection by the panel, the program reads the Run enable and Start enable from the interface defined by the appropriate parameters.
Note: Do not change the parameter settings related to Run enable, Start/Stop or Start enable unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing. The parameters settings and I/O wirings of the cabinet-installed unit are done at the factory according to the application requirements.

External controller interface

General
The IGBT supply unit can be connected to an external controller (such as the ABB AC 800M) using either fiber optic or twisted-pair cable. The ACS880 is compatible with both the ModuleBus and DriveBus connections. Note that some features of DriveBus (such as BusManager) are not supported.
Topology
An example connection with either a ZCU-based or BCU-based IGBT supply unit using fiber optic cables is shown below.
IGBT supply units with a ZCU control unit require an additional FDCO DDCS communication module; IGBT supply units with a BCU control unit require an RDCO or FDCO module. The BCU has a dedicated slot for the RDCO – an FDCO module can also be used with a BCU control unit but it will reserve one of the three universal option module slots. Ring and star configurations are also possible much in the same way as with the master/follower link; the notable difference is that the external controller connects to channel CH0 on the RDCO module instead of CH2. The channel on the FDCO communication module can be freely selected.
Communication
The communication between the controller and the IGBT supply unit consists of data sets of three 16-bit words each. The controller sends a data set to the IGBT supply unit, which returns the next data set to the controller.
The communication uses data sets 10…33. The contents of the data sets are freely configurable, but data set 10 typically contains the control word, while data set 11 returns the status word and selected actual values.
The word that is defined as the control word is internally connected to the logic; the coding of the bits is as presented in section Contents of the fieldbus Control word (page 239). Likewise, the coding of the status word is as shown in section Contents of the fieldbus
Status word (page 240).

28 Program features

Reference chains

Reference chains of the control program are
DC voltage reference chain,
active power reference chain, and
reactive power reference chain.
Tasks of the reference chains are reference source and type selection, limitation and ramping. The active power, DC voltage and reactive power reference chains are controlled by reference chain control. All of the reference chains are controlled by the bits of limit word (130.01).

DC voltage control

DC voltage is controlled by the DC voltage reference chain. DC voltage control is the default control mode of the supply unit. It is also the alternative control mode for the active power control. DC voltage control includes DC voltage reference selection, limitation and ramping. Incoming DC reference is limited between maximum and minimum of the DC limits. If the incoming reference exceeds the defined limits, the limit word is updated. DC reference is ramped according to DC ramp up and DC ramp down times.
Control chain diagram
See page 248.
Internal DC voltage reference
Lowest possible DC voltage level in IGBT supply unit is defined by AC voltage level. If DC voltage reference is lower than what the IGBT supply unit can achieve with control, reference is limited internally to the lowest possible value. Minimum DC voltage reference is filtered with 10 second time constant to prevent immediate drop in DC voltage reference while AC voltage level drops. See also the table on page 47.
Settings and diagnostics
Parameters: parameter groups 123 DC voltage reference and 130 Limits

Active power control

Active power is controlled by the power reference chain. Active power control is an alternative main control mode for the IGBT supply unit with the DC voltage control (which is the default control mode of the supply unit). Power reference chain includes reference selection, limitation and ramping.
The power reference modifies the input reference to active current reference for the ramp function. Possible input reference types are:
Active current reference in Amperes
Active current reference in percent of the nominal current
Power reference in kW
Power reference in percent of the nominal power.
Main tasks of active current ramping are:
Active current reference limitation
Active current reference ramping.
The control program contains a limitation feature for limiting the active power based on ambient temperature or the temperature of the IGBTs. The user can tune the limitation parameters.
Program features 29
Control chain diagram
See page 249.
Settings and diagnostics
Parameters: parameter groups 122 Power reference and 130 Limits

Reactive power control

Reactive power is controlled by the reactive power reference chain. Reactive power (or current) control is the secondary control mode for the IGBT supply unit, and it is executed in parallel with either of the main control options (DC voltage control or active power control). If the IGBT supply unit is at its current limit, reactive power is limited before active power. Reactive power reference chain includes reference selection, limitation and ramping.
The reactive power reference modifies the input reference to reactive current reference. Possible input reference types are:
Reactive current reference in Amperes
Reactive current reference in percent of the nominal current
Reactive power reference in kVAr
Reactive power reference in percent of the nominal power
Reactive power reference angle in degrees
Reactive power reference in cosphi
Voltage reference for the AC voltage control in Volts
Voltage reference for the AC voltage control in percent.
The type of the reactive power reference is selected with parameter.
Main tasks of the reactive current ramping are:
Reactive current reference limitation
Reactive current reference ramping
Ramp bypass in case of AC voltage control.
In reactive current reference limiting the incoming reference is limited between maximum and minimum of the reactive current limits. If the incoming reference exceeds the defined limits, the limit word is updated. The limited output is the input signal for the ramping function.
The control program also contains a limitation feature for limiting the reactive power based on ambient temperature or the temperature of the IGBTs. The user can tune the limitation parameters.

Net lost detection

The IGBT supply unit recognizes the loss of supply AC voltage and recovers automatically when the AC voltage is connected again. The supply AC lost detection is based on fast (about 0.2 s, 10 Hz) frequency change of the grid frequency. When the frequency goes outside the frequency limits (+ activates the net lost state and generates a warning (AE78 Net lost). When the net lost is detected, there are two options:
If the grid measurements from external BAMU measuring board are not available,
after the delay (default 0.1 s) the IGBT supply unit tries to resynchronize to the grid. If resynchronization is not successful and the net lost lasts too long (default 5 s), the IGBT supply unit trips to a fault (8E07 Net lost).
If the grid measurements from external BAMU measuring board are available, after
the delay (default 0.1 s) the IGBT supply unit tries to resynchronize to the grid when the grid voltages are connected again and the frequency has been estimated to be between allowed limits. If the maximum duration of the net lost is exceeded, the IGBT supply unit trips to a fault (8E07 Net lost).

Reduced run function

Reduced run function is available for IGBT supply units consisting of parallel-connected IGBT supply modules of frame size R8i. The function makes it possible to continue operation with limited current even if one (or more) module is out of service, for example, because of maintenance work. In principle, reduced run is possible with only one module, but in practice, the modules in service must be able to provide enough current for running the inverter modules.
The number of removed IGBT supply modules and LCL filter modules is restricted. The following table lists the allowed configurations.
Original configuration Allowed configurations when using reduced run function
2×R8i + 1×LCL 1×R8i + 1×LCL
3×R8i + 2×LCL 2×R8i + 2×LCL
4×R8i + 2×LCL 2×R8i + 1×LCL or 1×R8i + 1×LCL
6×R8i + 3×LCL 4×R8i + 2×LCL or 2×R8i + 1×LCL or 1×R8i + 1×LCL
8×R8i + 4×LCL 6×R8i + 3×LCL or 4×R8i + 2×LCL or 2×R8i + 1×LCL or 1×R8i + 1×LCL
10×R8i + 5×LCL 8×R8i + 4×LCL or 6×R8i + 3×LCL or 4×R8i + 2×LCL or 2×R8i + 1×LCL or
1×R8i + 1×LCL
Note: When IGBT supply modules and LCL filter modules are removed, the corresponding AC fuses need to be removed too.
