General Precautions

ATTENTION: The drive contains high voltage capacitors which take
time to discharge after removal of mains supply. Before working on
drive, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs [R, S, T (L1,
L2, L3)]. Wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage
levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

Darkened display LEDs is not an indication that capacitors have
discharged to safe voltage levels.

ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable
frequency AC drives and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the
system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage.

ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required
when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly.
Component damage may result if ESD control procedures are not
followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures,
reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic
Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.

ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application
errors, such as, undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC
supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of
the system.

ATTENTION: The bus regulator function is extremely useful for
preventing nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive
decelerations, overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. However, it can
also cause either of the following two conditions to occur.

1. Fast positive changes in input voltage or imbalanced input voltages
can cause uncommanded positive speed changes;

2. Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded
deceleration times
However, a “Stall Fault” is generated if the drive remains in this state
for 1 minute. If this condition is unacceptable, the bus regulator must be
disabled (see parameter A117
dynamic brake resistor will provide equal or better performance in most
cases.

Ungrounded Distribution Systems

ATTENTION: PowerFlex 40 drives contain protective MOVs that are
referenced to ground. These devices must be disconnected if the drive is
installed on an ungrounded or resistive grounded distribution system.

Disconnecting MOVs

To prevent drive damage, the MOVs connected to ground shall be
disconnected if the drive is installed on an ungrounded distribution
system where the line-to-ground voltages on any phase could exceed
125% of the nominal line-to-line voltage. To disconnect these devices,
remove the jumper shown in the Figures 1.1

1. Turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen.

2. Pull the jumper completely out of the drive chassis.

General Grounding Requirements

The drive Safety Ground - (PE) must be connected to system
ground. Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of
national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes.
The integrity of all ground connections should be periodically checked.

V/T2

W/T3

Ground Fault Monitoring

If a system ground fault monitor (RCD) is to be used, only Type B
(adjustable) devices should be used to avoid nuisance tripping.

Safety Ground - (PE)

This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of
these points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a
floor ground rod or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national
and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes.

Motor Ground

The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on
the drive.

Shield Termination - SHLD

Either of the safety ground terminals located on the power terminal
block provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor
cable shield connected to one of these terminals (drive end) should also
be connected to the motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or
EMI clamp to connect the shield to the safety ground terminal. The
conduit box option may be used with a cable clamp for a grounding point
for the cable shield.

When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield
should be grounded at the source end only, not at the drive end.

RFI Filter Grounding

Using single phase drives with integral filter, or an external filter with
any drive rating, may result in relatively high ground leakage currents.
Therefore, the filter must only be used in installations with grounded

AC supply systems and be permanently installed and solidly
grounded (bonded) to the building power distribution ground. Ensure

that the incoming supply neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the
same building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on
flexible cables and should not include any form of plug or socket that
would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes may require
redundant ground connections. The integrity of all connections should be
periodically checked.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The PowerFlex 40 does not provide branch short circuit protection. This
product should be installed with either input fuses or an input circuit
breaker. National and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical
codes may determine additional requirements for these installations.

ATTENTION: To guard against personal injury and/or equipment
damage caused by improper fusing or circuit breaker selection, use only
the recommended line fuses/circuit breakers specified in this section.

Fusing

The PowerFlex 40 has been UL tested and approved for use with input
fuses. The ratings in the table that follows are the minimum
recommended values for use with each drive rating. The devices listed in
this table are provided to serve as a guide.

Bulletin 140M (Self-Protected Combination Controller)/UL489 Circuit Breakers

When using Bulletin 140M or UL489 rated circuit breakers, the
guidelines listed below must be followed in order to meet the NEC
requirements for branch circuit protection.

• Bulletin 140M can be used in single and group motor applications.

• Bulletin 140M can be used up stream from the drive without the

need for fuses.

Power Wiring

ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.)
and local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical
equipment. Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire
types, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect
devices. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.

ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by induced
voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded at both ends.
For the same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or
installed, all drives using this conduit should be disabled. This will help
minimize the possible shock hazard from “cross coupled” power leads.

Motor Cable Types Acceptable for 200-600 Volt Installations

A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many
installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be separated
from sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3
meters (1 foot) for every 10 meters (32.8 feet) of length. In all cases,
long parallel runs must be avoided. Do not use cable with an insulation
thickness less than 15 mils (0.4 mm/0.015 in.). Do not route more than
three sets of motor leads in a single conduit to minimize “cross talk”. If
more than three drive/motor connections per conduit are required,
shielded cable must be used.
UL installations in 50°C ambient must use 600V, 75°C or 90°C wire.
UL installations in 40°C ambient should use 600V, 75°C or 90°C wire.
Use copper wire only. Wire gauge requirements and recommendations
are based on 75 degree C. Do not reduce wire gauge when using higher
temperature wire.

Unshielded

THHN, THWN or similar wire is acceptable for drive installation in dry
environments provided adequate free air space and/or conduit fill rates
limits are provided. Do not use THHN or similarly coated wire in wet
areas. Any wire chosen must have a minimum insulation thickness of 15
mils and should not have large variations in insulation concentricity.

Shielded/Armored Cable

Shielded cable contains all of the general benefits of multi-conductor
cable with the added benefit of a copper braided shield that can contain
much of the noise generated by a typical AC Drive. Strong consideration
for shielded cable should be given in installations with sensitive
equipment such as weigh scales, capacitive proximity switches and other
devices that may be affected by electrical noise in the distribution
system. Applications with large numbers of drives in a similar location,
imposed EMC regulations or a high degree of communications /
networking are also good candidates for shielded cable.

PowerFlex 40 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive FRN 1.xx - 7.xx User Manual

Publication 22B-UM001I-EN-E

Installation/Wiring 1-11

Shielded cable may also help reduce shaft voltage and induced bearing
currents for some applications. In addition, the increased impedance of
shielded cable may help extend the distance that the motor can be
located from the drive without the addition of motor protective devices
such as terminator networks. Refer to Reflected Wave in “Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines for PWM AC Drives,” publication
DRIVES-IN001A-EN-P.

Consideration should be given to all of the general specifications
dictated by the environment of the installation, including temperature,
flexibility, moisture characteristics and chemical resistance. In addition,
a braided shield should be included and be specified by the cable
manufacturer as having coverage of at least 75%. An additional foil
shield can greatly improve noise containment.

A good example of recommended cable is Belden® 295xx (xx
determines gauge). This cable has four (4) XLPE insulated conductors
with a 100% coverage foil and an 85% coverage copper braided shield
(with drain wire) surrounded by a PVC jacket.

Other types of shielded cable are available, but the selection of these
types may limit the allowable cable length. Particularly, some of the
newer cables twist 4 conductors of THHN wire and wrap them tightly
with a foil shield. This construction can greatly increase the cable
charging current required and reduce the overall drive performance.
Unless specified in the individual distance tables as tested with the drive,
these cables are not recommended and their performance against the lead
length limits supplied is not known.

Reflected Wave Protection

The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible.
Installations with long motor cables may require the addition of external
devices to limit voltage reflections at the motor (reflected wave
phenomena). See Table 1.D

The reflected wave data applies to all frequencies 2 to 16 kHz.

For 240V ratings, reflected wave effects do not need to be considered.

Longer cable lengths can be achieved by installing devices on the output of the drive.
Consult factory for recommendations.

Output Disconnect

The drive is intended to be commanded by control input signals that will
start and stop the motor. A device that routinely disconnects then
reapplies output power to the motor for the purpose of starting and
stopping the motor should not be used. If it is necessary to disconnect
power to the motor with the drive outputting power, an auxiliary contact
should be used to simultaneously disable drive control run commands.

I/O Wiring Recommendations

Motor Start/Stop Precautions

ATTENTION: A contactor or other device that routinely disconnects
and reapplies the AC line to the drive to start and stop the motor can
cause drive hardware damage. The drive is designed to use control input
signals that will start and stop the motor. If used, the input device must
not exceed one operation per minute or drive damage can occur.

ATTENTION: The drive start/stop control circuitry includes
solid-state components. If hazards due to accidental contact with
moving machinery or unintentional flow of liquid, gas or solids exist,
an additional hardwired stop circuit may be required to remove the AC
line to the drive. When the AC line is removed, there will be a loss of
any inherent regenerative braking effect that might be present - the
motor will coast to a stop. An auxiliary braking method may be
required.

Important points to remember about I/O wiring:

• Always use copper wire.

• Wire with an insulation rating of 600V or greater is recommended.

• Control and signal wires should be separated from power wires by at

least 0.3 meters (1 foot).

Important: I/O terminals labeled “Common” are

safety ground (PE) terminal and are designed to greatly
reduce common mode interference.

ATTENTION: Driving the 4-20mA analog input from a voltage
source could cause component damage. Verify proper configuration
prior to applying input signals.

Do not exceed control wiring length of 30 meters (100 feet). Control
signal cable length is highly dependent on electrical environment and
installation practices. To improve noise immunity, the I/O terminal block
Common must be connected to ground terminal/protective earth. If using
the RS485 (DSI) port, I/O Terminal 16 should also be connected to
ground terminal/protective earth.

Start Up

This chapter describes how to start up the PowerFlex 40 Drive. To
simplify drive setup, the most commonly programmed parameters are
organized in a single Basic Program Group.

Important: Read the General Precautions section before proceeding.

ATTENTION: Power must be applied to the drive to perform the

following start-up procedures. Some of the voltages present are at
incoming line potential. To avoid electric shock hazard or damage to
equipment, only qualified service personnel should perform the
following procedure. Thoroughly read and understand the procedure
before beginning. If an event does not occur while performing this
procedure, Do Not Proceed. Remove All Power including user
supplied control voltages. User supplied voltages may exist even when
main AC power is not applied to the drive. Correct the malfunction
before continuing.

Prepare For Drive Start-Up

Before Applying Power to the Drive

❏ 1. Confirm that all inputs are connected to the correct terminals and are

secure.

❏ 2. Verify that AC line power at the disconnect device is within the rated

value of the drive.

❏ 3. Verify that any digital control power is 24 volts.

❏ 4. Verify that the Sink (SNK)/Source (SRC) Setup DIP Switch is set to

match your control wiring scheme. See Figure 1.5 on page 1-16 for
location.

Important: The default control scheme is Source (SRC). The Stop

terminal is jumpered (I/O Terminals 01 and 11) to allow
starting from the keypad. If the control scheme is changed
to Sink (SNK), the jumper must be removed from I/O
Terminals 01 and 11 and installed between I/O Terminals
01 and 04.

❏ 5. Verify that the Stop input is present or the drive will not start.

Important: If I/O Terminal 01 is used as a stop input, the jumper

between I/O Terminals 01 and 11 must be removed.

Applying Power to the Drive

❏ 6. Apply AC power and control voltages to the drive.

❏ 7. Familiarize yourself with the integral keypad features (see page 2-4)

before setting any Program Group parameters.

If a fault appears on power up, refer to Fault Descriptions on page 4-3
for an explanation of the fault code.

Start, Stop, Direction and Speed Control

Factory default parameter values allow the drive to be controlled from
the integral keypad. No programming is required to start, stop, change
direction and control speed directly from the integral keypad.

Important: To disable reverse operation, see A095

[Reverse Disable].

Changing the Speed Reference of an IP66, NEMA/UL Type 4X rated drive

When a Display Group parameter, for example, d001 [Output Freq] is
displayed, and P038 [Speed Ref] is set to A069 [Internal Freq], you can
change the internal frequency using the Up Arrow and Down Arrow
keys.

When the internal frequency is being adjusted, its value is displayed and
the Hertz LED flashes. Any changes are saved immediately. The display
then returns to the Display Group parameter previously shown.

TIP: By default, the speed reference of an IP66, NEMA/UL Type 4X
rated drive is set to the internal frequency, A069

PowerFlex 40 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive FRN 1.xx - 7.xx User Manual

Publication 22B-UM001I-EN-E

[Internal Freq].

Start Up 2-3

TIP: You can also change the speed reference by editing the parameter

A069 [Internal Freq] in program mode. For details on how to enter the

program mode, see Viewing and Editing Parameters

on page 2-5.

Note: The default value of A069 [Internal Freq] is 0 Hz. For IP20 rated
PowerFlex 40 drives, the default value of this parameter is 60 Hz.

Variable Torque Fan/Pump Applications

For improved motor tuning performance when using a premium efficient
motor on a variable torque load, set A084

About Parameters

To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, drive parameters may
have to be set. Three types of parameters exist:

B for catalog

• ENUM

ENUM parameters allow a selection from 2 or more items. Each item
is represented by a number.

• Numeric Parameters

These parameters have a single numerical value (i.e. 0.1 Volts).

• Bit Parameters

Bit parameters have four individual bits associated with features or
conditions. If the bit is 0, the feature is off or the condition is false. If
the bit is 1, the feature is on or the condition is true.

Some parameters are marked as follows.

= Stop drive before changing this parameter.

= 32 bit parameter. Parameters marked 32 bit will have two

parameter numbers when using RS485 communications and
programming software.

How StepLogic Works

The StepLogic sequence begins with a valid start command. A normal sequence always begins with
A140 [Stp Logic 0].

Digit 0: Logic For Next Step

This digit defines the logic for the next step. When the condition is met the program advances to the
next step. Step 0 follows Step 7. Example: Digit 0 is set 3. When “Logic In2” becomes active, the
program advances to the next step.

Digit 1: Logic to Jump to a Different Step

For all settings other than F, when the condition is met, the program overrides Digit 0 and jumps to the
step defined by Digit 2.

Digit 2: Different Step to Jump

When the condition for Digit 1 is met, the Digit 2 setting determines the next step or to end the program.

This digit defines what accel/decel profile the speed command will follow and the direction of the
command for the current step. In addition, if a relay or opto output (parameters A055, A058 and A061)
is set to 15 “StpLogic Out”, this parameter can control the status of that output.

Any StepLogic parameter can be programmed to control a relay or opto output, but you can not
control different outputs based on the condition of different StepLogic commands.

user or application intervention. This allows remote or “unattended”
operation. Only certain faults are allowed to be reset. Certain faults

PowerFlex 40 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive FRN 1.xx - 7.xx User Manual

Publication 22B-UM001I-EN-E

(Type 2) that indicate possible drive component malfunction are not
resettable.

Caution should be used when enabling this feature, since the drive will
attempt to issue its own start command based on user selected programming.
