without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this User Guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electrical or mechanical including
photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this User Guide as
follows:
A Warning contains information which is essential for
avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of
the product.
1.1.1 Hazards
This User Guide applies to the Commander S100 and auxiliary
equipment. In all cases the hazards associated with powerful electrical
drives are present, and all safety information relating to drives and
associated equipment must be observed.
1.1.2 Competence of Designers and Installers
Drives and controllers are intended as components for professional
incorporation into complete systems. If installed incorrectly they may
present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltages and currents,
carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control
equipment which can cause injury. Close attention is required to the
electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards either in
normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System
design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried
out by personnel who have the necessary training and competence.
They must read all of the safety information and instructions in this User
Guide carefully
1.2 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is
installed correctly with regard to all instructions given in this User Guide.
They must give due consideration to the safety of the complete system,
so as to avoid the risk of injury both in normal operation and in the event
of a fault or of reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting
from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect installation of the equipment.
1.3 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
This guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific
EMC standards.
All machinery to be supplied within the European Union in which this
product is used must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC Safety of machinery.
2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
1.4 Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous voltage may be present
in any of the following locations:
•AC and DC supply cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Control terminals and cables
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in
this User Guide. Failure to observe the instructions could result in a fire
hazard
1.4.1 Isolating the Drive
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been
energized, the AC supply must be isolated by an approved electrical
isolation at least five minutes before work may continue. Ensure the
motor is not able to be driven by another part of the system as this could
produce a regenerating current which could cause unsafe voltages on
the drive terminals.
1.4.2 Stored Charge
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under
certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail
to discharge or be prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied
to the output terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that causes the
display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors will not be
discharged. In this case, contact the supplier of the drive.
1.4.3 Products Connected by Plug and Socket
A special hazard may exist where the drive is incorporated into a product
which is connected to the supply by a plug and socket. When unplugged,
the pins of the plug may be connected to the drive input, which is
separated from the charge stored in the capacitor only by semiconductor
devices. To avoid any possibility of electric shock from the pins, if they
are accessible, a means must be provided for automatically isolating the
plug from the drive - e.g. a latching contactor.
1.4.4 Grounding / Earthing
The drive must be grounded by a conductor sufficient to carry the
prospective fault current in the event of a fault and in a zone of
equipotential bonding. The ground loop impedance must conform to the
requirements of local safety regulations. The ground connections must
be inspected and tested at appropriate intervals.
Ground conductor size:- Either a single copper 10 mm² conductor or two
conductors of the same cross-sectional area and material as the input
conductors so long as the size of each conductor is 2.5 mm2. For
location of ground connections refer to Figure 1-1 in the Step by Step
guide.
Each ground connection requires an individual terminal or connection
point. If using two conductors for the input and the cable management
bracket, the motor ground should be connected to the grounding
bracket.
1.4.5 Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The AC supply to the drive must be installed with suitable protection
against overload. Failure to observe this requirement will cause risk of
fire. Integral solid-state short circuit protection does not provide branch
circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be provided in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), The Canadian
Electrical Code, and any additional local codes. Opening of the branchcircuit protective device may be an indication that a fault has been
interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, the equipment
should be examined and replaced if damaged. If burnout of the current
element of an overload relay occurs, the complete overload relay must
be replaced. If opting to use a residual current device, only type B should
be used with the drive.
The devices incorporate solid state overload protection for the motor
load. The protection levels are expressed as a percentage of full-load
current. For the motor protection to work properly, Motor Rated Current
(P0.06) must be set correctly. The protection level may be adjusted
below 150 % if required using Motor Output Current Limit (P3.17). All
models are provided with thermal memory retention.
1.4.7 Isolation of control circuits
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals and the EIA-485
Communications port are isolated from the power circuits in the drive by
double/reinforced insulation. The installer must ensure that the external
control circuits do not compromise this insulation barrier. If the control
circuits are to be connected to circuits classified as Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) - for example, to a personal computer - an additional
basic barrier must be included in order to maintain the SELV
classification.
1.4.8 Terminal Connections and Torque Settings
Loose power connections are a fire risk. Always ensure that terminals
are tightened to the specified torques. Refer to the tables in chapter 4
Electrical Installation.
1.5 Mechanical hazards
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or
controller which might result in a hazard, either through their intended
behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application
where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or
allow damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and
where necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for
example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed
control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
None of the drive functions must be used to ensure safety of
personnel. i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the complete
system is safe and designed correctly according to the relevant safety
standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by
personnel with the required training and experience. The system must
be subject to a risk assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an
unsafe event is at an acceptable level for the application.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is
essential that the correct value is entered in the Motor Rated Current
(P3.01).
1.9.1 Motor Sizing
The motor rated current should not exceed the maximum continuous
output current of the drive. The maximum output voltage of the drive is
not able to exceed the input voltage and the rated voltage of the motor
should therefore be less than this value. Typical overloads are 150% for
60 s (from cold) or 150% for 8 s (from hot). The drive will initiate an error
if the drive output current exceeds the over-current threshold which
could occur in the event of a short circuit of the motor output cables. The
over-current threshold is the maximum current the drive can measure.
1.10 Adjusting parameters
It is essential that changes to the drive parameters are given careful
consideration. Depending on the application, a change could result in
unexpected motor behaviour. Appropriate precautions must be taken
against inadvertent changes or tampering. Some specific parameters
which require particular care are: parameters in IO Configuration (Menu
6) (the drive may start unexpectedly if the logic or functions are
changed); Restore Factory Defaults (P4.01) (depending on the
application this may cause unpredictable or hazardous operation);
parameters in Motor Setup (Menu 3) (overheating and possible fire risk
could result from seriously incorrect settings).
1.11 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided in
section 4.5 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). If the installation is
poorly designed or other equipment does not comply with suitable
standards for EMC, the product might cause or suffer from disturbance
due to electromagnetic interaction with other equipment. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment or system into
which the product is incorporated complies with the relevant EMC
legislation in the place of use.
1.12 Repairs
Users must not attempt to repair a drive if it is faulty. It must be returned
to the supplier of the drive. Users must not make any attempt at
removing drive plastics to inspect the internal parts of the drive.
1.6 Access to equipment
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.7 Environmental limits
Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and
use of the equipment must be complied with, including the specified
environmental limits. This includes temperature, humidity,
contamination, shock and vibration. Drives must not be subjected to
excessive physical force.
1.13 Maintenance
Regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out to ensure
drive's reliability is maximized. See detailed information in the in section
3.11 Routine Maintenance.
1.8 Hazardous environments
The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment
(i.e. a potentially explosive environment).
1.9 Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be
ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified
speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan
becomes less effective, causing a fire hazard. If possible, the motor
should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an electric
forced vent fan should be used.
If any of the digital inputs are connected in parallel with an inductive load (i.e. contactor or motor brake) then suitable suppression (i.e.
diode or varistor) should be used on the coil of the load. If no suppression is used, then over voltage spikes can cause damage to the
digital inputs and outputs on the drive.
The control 0 V terminals are connected to earth but must not be used for protective purposes.
N
Any signal cables which are carried inside the motor cable (i.e. motor thermistor, motor brake) will pick up large pulse currents via the cable
capacitance. The shield of these signal cables must be connected to ground close to the point of exit of the motor cable, to avoid this noise current
spreading through the control system.
2.1.2 Control Terminal Connections
The default connections are suitable for basic motor speed control using analog inputs to define a frequency reference.

Parameters are variables within the drive that can be used to monitor output levels and drive statuses or to control the settings within the drive.
Parameters are divided into six menus based on their function which are:.
Menu 1 - Status & Monitoring (All read-only parameters)
Menu 2 - References and Ramps
Menu 3 - Motor Setup
Menu 4 - General
Menu 5 - PID Controller
Menu 6 - IO Configuration
There is also a quick start menu (Menu 0) that contains shortcuts to ten parameters used for basic drive setup. Because parameters in menu 0 are
shortcuts, changing the value of the parameter in menu 0 will also change the value in its original menu and vice versa.

Before the drive can run the motor, it must check that certain conditions are met. These are handled by the drive sequencer. The drive sequencer
monitors all drive inputs and compares them to the drive's configuration, set by the user, to ensure the motor only runs when it should.
For example:
1. If a drive input is configured as a Hardware Enabled (1), the drive will not be able to run the motor, even if a Run Forward (2) signal is provided,
until the enable signal is given on that input.
2. If Limit Switch Forward is active, only a Run Reverse signal would allow the motor to run.
3. If a drive input is configured as a Run Permit (4), the drive will not be able to run the motor while a Run Permit (4) signal is not provided.

The Indicators that are shown here can be set by any of the digital inputs using their function selector parameters such as T11 Digital Input 1 Function Select (P6.16) or by selecting an appropriate Run / Stop Config in Run/Stop Configuration (P6.13) .
Before the drive can run the motor, it must check that certain conditions are met. These are handled by the drive sequencer. The drive sequencer
monitors all drive inputs and compares them to the drive's configuration, set by the user, to ensure the motor only runs when it should.
For example:
4. If a drive input is configured as a Hardware Enabled (1), the drive will not be able to run the motor, even if a Run Forward (2) signal is provided,
until the enable signal is given on that input.
5. If Limit Switch Forward is active, only a Run Reverse signal would allow the motor to run.
6. If a drive input is configured as a Run Permit (4), the drive will not be able to run the motor if a Run Permit (4) signal is not provided.

The drive estimates the percentage of the motor maximum temperature from the output current and uses this to limit the overload period to protect the
motor. This function allows a longer overload period when the motor is cool and reduces the allowable overload period as the motor heats.
The overload period depends on the percentage overload current and motor starting temperature.
The action taken by the drive can be set in Thermal Protection Action (P3.21).
If Thermal Protection Action (P3.21) is set to Limit, the output current will be limited if this parameter > 90%.
If Thermal Protection Action (P3.21) is set to Error, the error will occur when this parameter = 100%.
An alarm is indicated if this percentage is >95% and cleared when <75% (Alarm Indicators (P1.09)).
