Modern DC-drives – More up-to-date than ever
Today, DC-drive technology is more up-to-date than ever.
Their attractive cost-performance ratio and functional advantages such as high torque at low speed, light weight and low
power loss, turn DC-drives into the preferred solution for many
applications. As far as innovation is concerned ABB’s DCdrives match the same high standards as ABB’s AC-drives.
Easy upgrade of installed older converters
The machines are frequently still in very good condition, but
spare parts and know-how for the installed power electronics
are no longer available.
With the DCS550, existing machines can be kept in operation
by replacing the old drive.
Short downtimes and low costs for the retrofit are additional
advantages of an upgrade of existing machinery.

Smart human-drive interface
General
All units are equipped with the DCS550 Control Panel. It can
be snapped into place on the power converter module or
installed in the switchgear cubicle door by means of a mounting kit.
Control panel: high level of convenience included
The assistant control panel is part of the basic unit. It offers
a multi-language alphanumeric display (EN, DE, ES, FR, IT)
with a multilingual help function. The large graphic display
allows the user to freely select actual and set values. Another
additional advantage: the user can call up a list of all changed
parameters. The control panel can also store parameters as a
security backup or copy them for use in other converters.
Panel mounting kits
To attach the control panel to the outside of a larger enclosure, two panel mounting kits are available. A simple and
cost-efficient installation is possible with the ACS/H-CP-EXT
kit, while the JPMP-01 kit provides a more user-friendly solution, including a panel platform that enables the panel to be
removed in the same way as a drive-mounted panel. The
panel mounting kits include all hardware required, including
3 m extension cables and installation instructions.

Standard Firmware for scalable control and functionality
α
≥
Basic firmware
DCS550 firmware includes the basic functions of speed
control, armature current, field current and motor voltage. The
design of the drive logic enables a drive reaction defined by
Profibus standard, but can also configured to adapt classic
command structures.
Macros
The DCS550 is equipped with seven different macros to cover
the most frequent parameter settings.
Macros are pre-programmed parameter sub-sets. During
start-up, the drive can be configured easily without changing individual parameters. The functions of all inputs and
several outputs and of allocations in the control structure are
influenced by the selection of a macro. The means whether
the drive is speed-controlled or torque-controlled, whether
supplementary references are processed, which actual values
are available at the analog outputs, which reference value
sources are used etc. is already defined in the macro.
Functions of basic firmware
– Different speed ramp function
– Speed control
– Torque control
– Armature current control
– Field current control
– Automatic field weakening
– E-stop function according to Profibus standard
– Interface for fieldbus
– Programmable digital and analogue outputs
– 16 blocks Adaptive Program
– Converter protection (temperature, voltage,...)
Motor protection features
– Stall protections
– Thermal motor model
– Klixon supervision
– Speed feedback error
– Over speed
– Armature current ripple
– Armature over current
– Minimum field current

PC tool for easy start-up and maintenance
Useful features
DriveWindow Light
The user-friendly start-up and maintenance tool for the world
of ABB-drives supports both ABB’s DC-drives and AC-drives.
DriveWindow Light is a PC software package for easy and
fast start-up and maintenance of DCS550 converters and is
part of the basic package. In offline-mode, all parameters can
be set from the user’s office desk. The parameter browser
can both display and save parameters on the computer. A
comparison feature can compare and align current values with
a stored set of parameters. With the “Local”-feature, the drive
can be controlled as well. At the same time, up to four display
values can be visualized graphically. DriveWindow Light also
includes an assistant for guided start-up, winder functions as
well as the AP-tool for block programming.
Start-up assistant
The DriveWindow Light start-up assistant for the DCS550
provides valuable support during commissioning via an interactive dialog. The individual steps of the start-up process
are pre-defined in the right order and all required parameters
are displayed. The “Basic”-feature captures motor and connection data and adjusts the controller automatically. The
“Advanced”-feature supports the start-up of serial communication (fieldbus) and winder functions. The context-sensitive
help function is always available.
Adaptive Programming (AP):
Adaptive Programming is included in the basic package.
With the help of 16 functional blocks users can develop, test
and document their own programs easily in graphical mode.
The „Adaptive Programming“ (AP) function allows the implementation of additional features.
Modifications can be configured with either the control panel
or with the help of the graphical interface of DriveWindow
Light AP.
The main features of DriveWindow Light AP are:
– 16 programmable function blocks
– Available functions:
– Logical: AND, OR and XOR
– Mathematical: ADD, MUL, DIV, ABS, MAX and MIN
– Other: timer, switch, comparator, filter, SR, PI and
user-defined warnings or faults
– Freely definable execution order
– Easy documentation

Content CD:
The CD ROM provides information about DCS550
and contains PC tools:
The DCS550 is equipped with a winder function featuring
pre-defined macros for the four most commonly used winder
types:
Velocity control
Calculates the diameter and rotation speed setpoint value.
The diameter is used to adjust the speed controller to all
winding sizes. There is no tension control. All other macros
are included in this basic structure.
Indirect tension control
Controls the tension with the help of preset charts for friction
and moment of inertia (open loop).
This structure provides a very robust control behavior because no physical tension measurement is required.
Dancer control
Controls the tension with the weight of the dancer roll
(closed loop).
The dancer has to be kept in the right position with additional
speed set values. The PID-controller of the DCS550 can also
control the positioning of the dancer roll. The position of the
dancer roll is transmitted to the controller as an analog actual
value.
Commissioning assistant
For an easy winder set-up, all different winder types can be
configured and commissioned using a graphical assistant.
The assistant is part of DriveWindows Light PC-tool.
The rating for friction and inertia can be determined by auto
tuning.
Direct tension control
Closed loop for physical value of tension
The tension is measured with a load cell and transferred to
the drive as an analog actual value. The DCS550 is equipped
with a free PID-controller that can be integrated into the control loop with the “Tension Control” macro.
Example: direct tension control (closed loop)

How to select the motor voltage
Reference variables
The voltage characteristics are shown in the table beside. The
DC voltage characteristics have been calculated using the following assumptions:
= rated input terminal voltage, 3-phase
– U
VN
– Voltage tolerance ±10 %
– Internal voltage drop approx. 1 %
– If a deviation or a voltage drop has to be taken into con-
sideration in compliance with IEC and VDE standards, the
output voltage or the output current must be reduced in
accordance with the table on the right.
The bridge type 2-Q or 4-Q has an influence on the maximum
motor voltage. See table below.

motor and regenerative operation
If armature voltages higher than recommended are requested,
please check carefully whether your system is still working
under safe conditions.
The maximum output voltage of a 4-Q drive can be increased
up to the level of U
. Thus the torque reversal from mo-
dmax 2-Q
toring mode to generating mode increases up to 300 ms. This
lowers the dynamics of the drive and is only recommended for
non-dynamic applications (e.g. E-Stop function).
Example: maximum motor voltage U
for 500 VAC supply voltage U

VN
The power section of the converters is available as a single
(2-Q) bridge or double (4-Q) bridge. 4-Q drives are required
for regenerative breaking.
