Description

The signal isolator option board provides a means
of isolating both the speed reference, and the start signal
to a non-regenerative drive. Since the circuit common
(or signal common connection) of a typical non-regen
drive is essentially tied directly to the motor A+ terminal,
the user must insure that this connection (or any other
control connection) does not contact Earth ground.

This option when properly installed can help prevent a
drive failure. In applications using a chassis drive (no
enclosure/operators supplied), the operators will most
likely be remotely mounted and thus the possibility of
shorting to earth ground (via vibration or unintentional
connection) exists. T he chassis unit may also be remotely
controlled by a PLC or some other form of proces s control,
which is ground referenced. These applications would
typically benefit from using the signal isolator option.

In addition to providing isolation, the option board can
convert a variety of voltage and current signals to a 0 to
10VDC signal for the drive speed reference.
A control relay has been incorporated into the design to
provide a drive start contact. This relay may be configured
for 24VDC or 120VAC operation. The relay can be
controlled by a PLC having either “open emitter” or “open
collector” outputs or it can be s imply set up as a 120VAC
three wire control.

Unlike many currently available reference isolator boards,
the CT Signal Isolator option board can also support a
remote Speed Potentiometer including the power supply
for the potentiometer.

The option has been designed to operate from a single
power supply derived from the drive (or a separate isolated
supply). The range of this supply is 17 to 30VDC with a
current draw of 50ma max.

THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Procedure

Mounting of the signal isolator option PC board can be
done in one of two ways. Using the supplied 5” gray
mounting track and two plastic rivets, the track can be
easily affixed to a panel in the desired location. The option
board can then be snapped into the track and wired.

The second mounting choice is to use the four nylon
standoffs also inc luded in the kit. These adhesive loc king
standoffs provide easy & accessible board mounting
where space is at a premium . As in the inside of a drive
enclosure or cover.

Track Mounting:

1) Locate an area on the panel where the gray mounting
track will fit properly. Mark the centers of the track slots on
the panel per Fig. 2.

2) Drill two 0.190” holes. Mount the track in place using
the two supplied nylon push-rivets.

3) Snap the board into the mounting track as desired and
wire the terminals.

Standoff Mounting:

1) Remove the four nylon locking standoffs from the k it.
Snap all four into the four corners of the option PC board
from the solder side.

2) Find a suitable location on the panel or inside the drive
cover or enclosure. Remove the paper covering the
adhesive base of the four standoff s. Square up the bases
and mount down on the panel or cover using sufficient
pressure to set the adhesive.
