Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they can very easily be dismantled into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional screws. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy favours easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best practice.

1 Safety Information

1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes

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.

1.2 Electrical safety - general warning

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.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this User Guide.
1.3 System design and safety of
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive 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/ start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety information and this User Guide carefully.
The STOP and SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
With the sole exception of the SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function, none of the drive functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety­related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive 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.
The SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function has been approved
prevention of unexpected starting of the drive. It may be used in a safety-related application. The system designer is responsible for
ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the relevant safety standards.

as meeting the requirements of EN954-1 category 3 for the

1.4 Environmental limits

Instructions in this User Guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the drive must be complied with, including the specified environmental limits. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.

1.5 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 earth (ground) connections.
This User Guide contains instruction for achieving compliance with specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with the following directives:
98/37/EC: Safety of machinery. 89/336/EEC: Electromagnetic Compatibility.

1.6 Motor

Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed operation. If it is intended to use the capability of the drive to run a motor at speeds above its designed maximum, it is strongly recommended that the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less effective. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor. The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in parameter 0.46 motor rated current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.

1.7 Adjusting parameters

Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.

2 Product Information

2.1 Ratings

The Unidrive SP is dual rated. The setting of the motor rated current determines which rating applies ­Heavy Duty or Normal Duty. The two ratings are compatible with motors designed to IEC60034. The graph aside illustrates the difference between Normal Duty and Heavy Duty with respect to continuous current rating and short term overload limits.
Normal Duty Heavy Duty (default)
For applications which use Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motors and require a low overload capability, and full torque at low speeds is not required (e.g. fans, pumps). Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motors require increased protection against overload due to the reduced cooling effect of the fan
at low speed. To provide the correct level of protection the I
2
t software operates at a level which is speed dependent. This is illustrated in the graph below.
The speed at which the low speed protection takes effect can be changed by the setting of Pr 4.25. The protection starts when the motor speed is below 15% of base speed when Pr 4.25 = 0 (default) and below 50% when Pr 4.25 = 1.
Operation of motor I2t protection (It.AC trip)
Motor I2t protection is fixed as shown below and is compatible with:
Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motors
For constant torque applications or applications which require a high overload capability, or full torque is required at low speeds (e.g. winders, hoists). The thermal protection is set to protect force ventilated induction motors and permanent magnet servo motors by default.
N
If the application uses a self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motor and increased thermal protection is required for speeds below 50% base speed, then this can be enabled by setting Pr 4.25 = 1.
Motor I2t protection defaults to be compatible with:

2.1.1 Typical short term overload limits

The maximum percentage overload limit changes depending on the selected motor. Variations in motor rated current, motor power factor and motor leakage inductance all result in changes in the maximum possible overload. The exact value for a specific motor can be calculated using the equations detailed in Menu 4 in the Advanced User Guide.
Typical values are shown in the table below for closed loop vector (VT) and open loop (OL) modes:
Table 2-5 Typical overload limits for size 0 to 5
Operating mode Closed loop from cold Closed loop from 100% Open loop from cold Open loop from 100%
Normal Duty overload with motor rated current = drive rated current 110% for 165s 110% for 9s 110% for 165s 110% for 9s Heavy Duty overload with motor rated current = drive rated current 175% for 40s 175% for 5s 150% for 60s 150% for 8s Heavy Duty overload with a typical 4 pole motor 200% for 28s 200% for 3s 175% for 40s 175% for 5s
Table 2-6 Typical overload limits for size 6
Operating mode Closed loop from cold Closed loop from 100% Open loop from cold Open loop from 100%
Normal Duty overload with motor rated current = drive rated current 110% for 165s 110% for 9s 110% for 165s 110% for 9s Heavy Duty overload with motor rated current = drive rated current 150% for 60s 150% for 8s 129% for 97s 129% for 15s
Generally the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current allowing a higher level of overload than the default setting as illustrated by the example of a typical 4 pole motor.
The time allowed in the overload region is proportionally reduced at very low output frequency on some drive ratings.
The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.

2.2 Model number

The way in which the model numbers for the Unidrive SP range are formed is illustrated below.

2.3 Operating modes

The Unidrive SP is designed to operate in any of the following modes:
1. Open loop mode Open loop vector mode Fixed V/F mode (V/Hz) Quadratic V/F mode (V/Hz)
2. RFC mode
3. Closed loop vector
4. Servo
5. Regen

2.3.1 Open loop mode

The drive applies power to the motor at frequencies varied by the user. The motor speed is a result of the output frequency of the drive and slip due to the mechanical load. The drive can improve the speed control of the motor by applying slip compensation. The performance at low speed depends on whether V/F mode or open loop vector mode is selected.
For further details refer to section 8.1.1 Open loop motor control on page 130.
Open loop vector mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where the drive uses motor parameters to apply the correct voltage to keep the flux constant under varying load conditions.
Typically 100% torque is available down to 1Hz for a 50Hz motor.
Fixed V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is set by the user. This mode can be used for multi-motor applications.
Typically 100% torque is available down to 4Hz for a 50Hz motor.
Quadratic V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the square of the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is set by the user. This mode can be used for running fan or pump applications with quadratic load characteristics or for multi-motor applications. This mode is not suitable for applications requiring a high starting torque.

2.3.2 RFC mode

Rotor flux control provides closed loop control without the need for position feedback by using current, voltages and key motor parameters to estimate the motor speed. It can eliminate instability traditionally associated with open loop control such as operating large motors with light loads at low frequencies.
For further details, refer to section 8.1.2 RFC mode on page 132.

2.3.3 Closed loop vector mode

For use with induction motors with a feedback device installed. The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback
device to ensure the rotor speed is exactly as demanded. Motor flux is accurately controlled at all times to provide full torque all the way down to zero speed.

2.3.4 Servo

For use with permanent magnet brushless motors with a feedback device installed.
The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback device to ensure the rotor speed is exactly as demanded. Flux control is not required because the motor is self excited by the permanent magnets which form part of the rotor.
Absolute position information is required from the feedback device to ensure the output voltage is accurately matched to the back EMF of the motor. Full torque is available all the way down to zero speed.

2.3.5 Regen

For use as a regenerative front end for four quadrant operation. Regen operation allows bi-directional power flow to and from the AC
supply. This provides far greater efficiency levels in applications which would otherwise dissipate large amounts of energy in the form of heat in a braking resistor.
The harmonic content of the input current is negligible due to the sinusoidal nature of the waveform when compared to a conventional bridge rectifier or SCR/thyristor front end.
See the Unidrive SP Regen Installation Guide for more information about operation in this mode.

3 Mechanical Installation

This chapter describes how to use all mechanical details to install the drive. The drive is intended to be installed in an enclosure. Key features of this chapter include:
Through-hole mounting
IP54 as standard or through-panel mounting
Enclosure sizing and layout
Solutions Module fitting
Terminal location and torque settings

3.1 Safety information

Follow the instructions The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be referred to the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and any external option unit, and the way in which they are operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice in the country in which the equipment is used.
Competence of the installer The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who are familiar with the requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used.
Many of the drives in this product range weigh in excess of 15kg (33lb). Use appropriate safeguards when lifting these models. A full list of drive weights can be found in section
12.1.19 Weights on page 266
Enclosure The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which
prevents access except by trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It is designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.

3.2 Planning the installation

The following considerations must be made when planning the installation:

3.2.1 Access

Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating of the drive is installation dependent. For further information, please refer to section 3.9 Enclosing standard drive for high environmental protection on page 44.

3.2.2 Environmental protection

The drive must be protected from:
moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and condensation. An anti-condensation heater may be required, which must be switched off when the drive is running.
contamination with electrically conductive material
contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or impair airflow over various components
temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
corrosive gasses
During installation it is recommended that the vents on the drive are covered to prevent debris (e.g. wire off-cuts) from entering the drive.

3.2.3 Cooling

The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified operating temperature being exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one, and may need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
For further information, refer to section 3.6.2 Enclosure sizing on page 42.

3.2.4 Electrical safety

The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions. Electrical installation instructions are given in Chapter 4 Electrical Installation on page 61.

3.2.5 Fire protection

The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must be provided.

3.2.6 Electromagnetic compatibility

Variable speed drives are powerful electronic circuits which can cause electromagnetic interference if not installed correctly with careful attention to the layout of the wiring.
Some simple routine precautions can prevent disturbance to typical industrial control equipment.
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that electromagnetically sensitive equipment is located nearby, then full precautions must be observed. In-built into the drive, is an internal EMC filter, which reduces emissions under certain conditions. If these conditions are exceeded, then the use of an external EMC filter may be required at the drive inputs, which must be located very close to the drives. Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made for carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in section 4.11 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 75.

3.2.7 Hazardous areas

The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is installed in an approved enclosure and the installation is certified.

3.3 Terminal cover removal

Isolation device The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
Stored charge 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 at least ten minutes before work may continue.
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, consult Control Techniques or their authorized distributor.

3.3.1 Removing the terminal covers

Size 0 is not fitted with any terminal covers. Size 1 is fitted with two terminal covers: Size 2 is fitted with three terminal covers: Control, High current DC /
Braking and low voltage DC terminal covers. Size 3 is fitted with four terminal covers: Control, High current DC /
Braking, low voltage DC and AC terminal covers. Size 4, 5 and 6 are fitted with three terminal covers: Control, input and
output terminal covers.

In order to achieve IP54 rating (NEMA 12) for through-panel mounting, an IP54 insert must be installed (size 1 and 2) and the heatsink fan should be replaced with an IP54 rated fan (sizes 1 to 4). Additionally, the gasket provided should be installed between the drive and the backplate to ensure a good seal for the enclosure. If the heatsink mounted braking resistor is to be used with the drive through-panel mounted, refer to section 3.11 Internal/heatsink mounted braking resistor on page 54 prior to mounting the drive.

To avoid damaging the through-panel mounting bracket when through­panel mounting a size 1 or size 2, the through-panel mounting bracket should be used to mount the top of the drive to the back plate before the bottom of the drive is mounted to the back plate. The tightening torque should be 4 N m (2.9 lb ft).

3.5.3 Installation of the mounting bracket on size 4, 5 and 6

Size 4, 5 and 6 use the same mounting brackets for surface and through-panel mounting.
The mounting bracket has a long section and a short section.
Figure 3-27 Size 4, 5 and 6 mounting bracket
The mounting bracket must be installed in the correct orientation with the long section inserted into or attached to the drive and the short section is attached to the back plate. Figure 3-28 shows the orientation of the mounting bracket when the drive is surface and through-panel mounted.
Figure 3-28 Orientation of the size 4, 5 and 6 mounting bracket
When through-panel mounted, the mounting brackets on the left hand side of the drive can be secured using the screws already located there. On the right hand side, the mounting brackets are just inserted into the slots in the chasis of the drive; no fixing screws are present here.
Size 5 and 6 also require two top mounting brackets when the drive is surface mounted. The two brackets should be installed to the top of the drive as shown in Figure 3-29.
The maximum torque setting for the screws into the drive chassis is 10 N m (7.4 lb. ft).

3.6 Enclosure for standard drives

3.6.1 Enclosure layout

Please observe the clearances in the diagram below taking into account any appropriate notes for other devices / auxiliary equipment when planning the installation.
Figure 3-30 Enclosure layout

3.6.2 Enclosure sizing

1. Add the dissipation figures from section 12.1.2 Power dissipation on page 261 for each drive that is to be installed in the enclosure.
2. If an external EMC filter is to be used with each drive, add the dissipation figures from section 12.2.1 EMC filter ratings on page 273 for each external EMC filter that is to be installed in the enclosure.
3. If the braking resistor is to be mounted inside the enclosure, add the average power figures from for each braking resistor that is to be installed in the enclosure.
4. Calculate the total heat dissipation (in Watts) of any other equipment to be installed in the enclosure.
5. Add the heat dissipation figures obtained above. This gives a figure in Watts for the total heat that will be dissipated inside the enclosure.
Calculating the size of a sealed enclosure
The enclosure transfers internally generated heat into the surrounding air by natural convection (or external forced air flow); the greater the surface area of the enclosure walls, the better is the dissipation capability. Only the surfaces of the enclosure that are unobstructed (not in contact with a wall or floor) can dissipate heat.

cabinet (no airflow) or in a well ventilated cabinet makes a significant difference on drive cooling.
The chosen method affects the ambient temperature value (T should be used for any necessary derating to ensure sufficient cooling

3.8 Heatsink fan operation

The drive is ventilated by an internal heatsink mounted fan. The fan housing forms a baffle plate, channelling the air through the heatsink chamber. Thus, regardless of mounting method (surface mounting or through-panel mounting), the fitting of additional baffle plates is not required.
Ensure the minimum clearances around the drive are maintained to allow air to flow freely.
The heatsink fan on size 0 to 2 is a dual speed fan and on size 3 to 6 it is a variable speed fan. The drive controls the speed at which the fan runs based on the temperature of the heatsink and the drive's thermal model system. The size 3 to 6 is also fitted with a variable speed fan to ventilate the capacitor bank.
The heatsink fan on size 0 to 5 is supplied internally by the drive. The heatsink fan on size 6 requires an external 24Vdc supply. See section
4.4 Heatsink fan supply on page 66 for more information.

3.9 Enclosing standard drive for high environmental protection

An explanation of environmental protection rating is provided in section
12.1.9 IP / UL Rating on page 264.
The standard drive is rated to IP20 pollution degree 2 (dry, non­conductive contamination only) (NEMA 1). However, it is possible to configure the drive to achieve IP54 rating (UL Type 12 / NEMA 12) at the rear of the heatsink for through-panel mounting (some current derating is required for size 1 and 2). Refer to Table 2-43 .
This allows the front of the drive, along with various switchgear, to be housed in an IP54 (UL Type 12 / NEMA 12) enclosure with the heatsink protruding through the panel to the external environment. Thus, the majority of the heat generated by the drive is dissipated outside the enclosure maintaining a reduced temperature inside the enclosure. This also relies on a good seal being made between the heatsink and the rear of the enclosure using the gaskets provided.
For Type 12 the drive must be mounted on a flat surface of a Type 12 enclosure.

For increased fan lifetime in a dirty environment the heatsink fan must be replaced with an IP54 rated fan. Contact the supplier of the drive for details. If the standard fan is used in a dirty/dusty environment, reduced fan lifetime will result. Regular cleaning of the fan and heatsink is recommended in this environment. The heatsink fan installed in sizes 5 and 6 are IP54 rated as standard.
The guidelines in Table 3-4 should be followed.

3.11 Internal/heatsink mounted braking resistor

3.11.1 Size 0 internal braking resistor

The size 0 has been designed to accommodate an optional internal resistor. When the internal resistor is used, an external thermal protection device is not required as the resistor is designed such that it will fail safely under fault conditions. The in-built software overload protection is set up at default to protect the resistor.
Figure 3-47 Fitting an optional internal braking resistor (top view of drive)
1. Remove screws
2. Remove grill
3. Fit the optional internal braking resistor in the slot provided and electrically connect the braking resistor (connections shown in Figure 4-1 on page 61). Ensure that the braking resistor thermistor is connected to the drive
4. Locate the braking resistor onto the drive tab
5. Refit the grill and mounting screws by reversing the procedure in points 1 and 2
54 Unidrive SP User Guide
www.controltechniques.com Issue Number: 12
Safety
The size 1and 2 have been designed with an optional space-saving heatsink mounted resistor. The resistor can be installed within the heatsink fins of the drive. When the heatsink mounted resistor is used, an external thermal protection device is not required as the resistor is designed such that it will fail safely under fault conditions. The in-built software overload protection is set up at default to protect the resistor. The resistor is rated to IP54 (NEMA12).
If the drive is to be through-panel mounted with the heatsink mounted brake resistor installed, then the aperture in the panel through which the drive is mounted must be modified as shown in Figure 3-48 and Figure 3-49. This is in order to allow for the braking resistor cables and grommets.
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink and heatsink mounted braking resistor can reach temperatures in excess of 70°C (158°F). Human contact with the heatsink and heatsink mounted braking resistor should be prevented.
To avoid the risk of fire when the drive is surface mounted with the braking resistor installed, the back plate should be a non-flammable material.

3.11.5 Braking resistor overload protection parameter settings

Failure to observe the following information may damage the resistor.
The drive’s software contains an overload protection function for a braking resistor. On size 1 and 2 this function is enabled at default to protect the heatsink mounted resistor. Below are the parameter settings.
For more information on the braking resistor software overload protection, see the Advanced User Guide. If the heatsink mounted braking resistor is to be used at more than half of its average power rating then the drive's cooling fan must be
set to full speed by setting Pr 6.45 to On (1).
See section 4.9.1 Heatsink mounted braking resistor on page 72 for the resistor specifications.

4 Electrical Installation

Many cable management features have been incorporated into the product and accessories, this chapter shows how to optimize them. Key features include:
SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function
Internal EMC filter
EMC compliance with shielding / grounding accessories
Product rating, fusing and cabling information
Brake resistor details (selection / ratings)
Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be lethal:
AC supply cables and connections
DC and brake cables, and connections
Output cables and connections
Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be touched.
Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option units.

4.1 Power connections

4.1.1 AC and DC connections

Figure 4-1 Size 0 power connections
SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function The SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option units.
Stored charge
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 at least ten minutes before work may continue.
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, consult Control Techniques or their authorized distributor.
Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected to the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to give safety isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the drive must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
Permanent magnet motors
Permanent magnet motors generate electrical power if they are rotated, even when the supply to the drive is disconnected. If that happens then the drive will become energized through its motor terminals. If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the supply is disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from the drive before gaining access to any live parts.
When using a 200V Unidrive SP size 0 on a single-phase supply, the live and neutral conductors can be connected to any of the AC input connections on the drive.

The ground loop impedance must conform to the requirements of local safety regulations.
The drive must be grounded by a connection capable of carrying the prospective fault current until the protective device (fuse, etc.) disconnects the AC supply.
The ground connections must be inspected and tested at appropriate intervals.

to 3% voltage imbalance between phases). Frequency range: 48 to 65 Hz For UL compliance only, the maximum supply symmetrical fault current
must be limited to 100kA

4.2.1 Supply types

All drives are suitable for use on any supply type i.e TN-S, TN-C-S, TT and IT.
Supplies with voltage up to 600V may have grounding at any
potential, i.e. neutral, centre or corner (“grounded delta”)
Supplies with voltage above 600V may not have corner grounding Drives are suitable for use on supplies of installation category III and
lower, according to IEC60664-1. This means they may be connected permanently to the supply at its origin in a building, but for outdoor installation additional over-voltage suppression (transient voltage surge suppression) must be provided to reduce category IV to category III.

Operation with IT (ungrounded) supplies:
Special attention is required when using internal or external EMC filters with ungrounded supplies, because in the event of a ground (earth) fault in the motor circuit the drive may not trip and the filter could be over-stressed. In this case, either the filter must not be used (removed) or additional independent motor ground fault protection must be provided. Refer to Table 4-1. For instructions on removal, refer to Figure 4-22 Removal of internal EMC filter and line to ground varistors (size 0) , Figure 4-23 Removal of internal EMC filter (size 1 to 3) and Figure 4-24 Removal of internal EMC filter (sizes 4 to 6) on page 78. For details of ground fault protection contact the supplier of the drive.
A ground fault in the supply has no effect in any case. If the motor must continue to run with a ground fault in its own circuit then an input isolating transformer must be provided and if an EMC filter is required it must be located in the primary circuit.
Unusual hazards can occur on ungrounded supplies with more than one source, for example on ships. Contact the supplier of the drive for more information.

4.2.2 Supplies requiring line reactors

Input line reactors reduce the risk of damage to the drive resulting from poor phase balance or severe disturbances on the supply network.
Where line reactors are to be used, reactance values of approximately 2% are recommended. Higher values may be used if necessary, but may result in a loss of drive output (reduced torque at high speed) because of the voltage drop.
For all drive ratings, 2% line reactors permit drives to be used with a supply unbalance of up to 3.5% negative phase sequence (equivalent to 5% voltage imbalance between phases).
Severe disturbances may be caused by the following factors, for example:
Power factor correction equipment connected close to the drive.
Large DC drives having no or inadequate line reactors connected to the supply.
Across the line (DOL) started motor(s) connected to the supply such that when any of these motors are started, the voltage dip exceeds 20%.
Such disturbances may cause excessive peak currents to flow in the input power circuit of the drive. This may cause nuisance tripping, or in extreme cases, failure of the drive.
Drives of low power rating may also be susceptible to disturbance when connected to supplies with a high rated capacity.
Line reactors are particularly recommended for use with the following drive models when one of the above factors exists, or when the supply capacity exceeds 175kVA:
SP0201 SP0202 SP0203 SP0204 SP0205 SP0401 SP0402 SP0403 SP0404 SP0405 SP1201 SP1202 SP1203 SP1204 SP1401 SP1402 SP1403 SP1404

to SP6602 have internal AC line chokes, so they do not require AC line reactors except for cases of excessive phase unbalance or extreme supply conditions.
When required, each drive must have its own reactor(s). Three individual reactors or a single three-phase reactor should be used.
Reactor current ratings
The current rating of the line reactors should be as follows: Continuous current rating:
Not less than the continuous input current rating of the drive
Repetitive peak current rating:
Not less than twice the continuous input current rating of the drive

4.2.3 Input inductor calculation

To calculate the inductance required (at Y%), use the following equation:
Where:
I = drive rated input current (A)
L = inductance (H) f = supply frequency (Hz) V = voltage between lines

4.3 Supplying the drive with DC / DC bus paralleling

The connecting of the DC bus between several drives is typically used to:
1. Return energy from a drive which is being overhauled by the load to
a second motoring drive.
2. Allow the use of one braking resistor to dissipate regenerative
energy from several drives.
There are limitations to the combinations of drives which can be used in this configuration.
For application data, contact the supplier of the drive.

I/O Plus, or SM-I/O 32 modules are being used and the current drawn by these modules is greater than the drive can supply. (If too much current is drawn from the drive, the drive will initiate a 'PS.24V' trip)
It can be used as a back-up power supply to keep the control circuits of the drive powered up when the line power supply is removed. This allows any fieldbus modules, application modules, encoders or serial communications to continue to operate.

It can be used to commission the drive when the line power supply is not available, as the display operates correctly. However, the drive will be in the UV trip state unless either line power supply or low voltage DC operation is enabled, therefore diagnostics may not be possible. (Power down save parameters are not saved when using the 24V back-up power supply input.)
The working voltage range of the 24V power supply is as follows:
Maximum continuous operating voltage: 30.0 V Minimum continuous operating voltage: 19.2 V Nominal operating voltage: 24.0 V Minimum start up voltage: 21.6 V Maximum power supply requirement at 24V: 60 W Recommended fuse: 3 A, 50 Vdc
Minimum and maximum voltage values include ripple and noise. Ripple and noise values must not exceed 5%.

4.6 Low voltage DC power supply

The drive can be operated from low voltage DC supplies, nominally 24Vdc (control) and 48Vdc (power). The low voltage DC power operating mode is designed either, to allow for motor operation in an emergency back-up situation following failure of the AC supply, for example in elevators; or to limit the speed of a servo motor during commissioning / start-up of equipment, for example a robot cell.
The working voltage range of the low voltage DC power supply is as follows:

Typical input current
The values of typical input current are given to aid calculations for power flow and power loss.
The values of typical input current are stated for a balanced supply.
Maximum continuous input current
The values of maximum continuous input current are given to aid the selection of cables and fuses. These values are stated for the worst case condition with the unusual combination of stiff supply with bad balance. The value stated for the maximum continuous input current would only be seen in one of the input phases. The current in the other two phases would be significantly lower.
The values of maximum input current are stated for a supply with a 2% negative phase-sequence imbalance and rated at the supply fault current given in Table 4-2.

B1 - Separate cables in conduit. B2 - Multicore cable in conduit C - Multicore cable in free air.
Cable sizes are from IEC60364-5-52:2001 table A.52.C with correction factor for 40°C ambient of 0.87 (from table A52.14) for cable installation method B2 (multicore cable in conduit).
Cable size may be reduced if a different installation method is used, or if the ambient temperature is lower.
The recommended cable sizes above are only a guide. The mounting and grouping of cables affects their current-carrying capacity, in some cases smaller cables may be acceptable but in other cases a larger cable is required to avoid excessive temperature or voltage drop. Refer to local wiring regulations for the correct size of cables.
N
The recommended output cable sizes assume that the motor maximum current matches that of the drive. Where a motor of reduced rating is used the cable rating may be chosen to match that of the motor. To ensure that the motor and cable are protected against overload, the drive must be programmed with the correct motor rated current.
N
UL listing is dependent on the use of the correct type of UL-listed fuse, and applies when symmetrical short-circuit current does not exceed 100kA. See Chapter 14 UL Listing Information on page 294 for sizing information.
Fuses The AC supply to the drive must be installed with suitable protection against overload and short-circuits. Table 4-3, Table 4-4 and Table 4-5 show recommended fuse ratings. Failure to observe this requirement will cause risk of fire.
A fuse or other protection must be included in all live connections to the AC supply.
An MCB (miniature circuit breaker) or MCCB (moulded-case circuit­breaker) with type C may be used in place of fuses on sizes 1 to 3 under the following conditions:
The fault-clearing capacity must be sufficient for the installation
For frame sizes 2 and 3, the drive must be mounted in an enclosure which meets the requirements for a fire enclosure
See Chapter 14 UL Listing Information for UL listing requirements.
Fuse types
The fuse voltage rating must be suitable for the drive supply voltage.
Ground connections
The drive must be connected to the system ground of the AC supply. The ground wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of practice.

4.8 Output circuit and motor protection

The output circuit has fast-acting electronic short-circuit protection which limits the fault current to typically no more than five times the rated output current, and interrupts the current in approximately 20µs. No additional short-circuit protection devices are required.
The drive provides overload protection for the motor and its cable. For this to be effective, Pr 0.46 Motor rated current must be set to suit the motor.
Pr 0.46 Motor rated current must be set correctly to avoid a risk of fire in the event of motor overload.
There is also provision for the use of a motor thermistor to prevent over­heating of the motor, e.g. due to loss of cooling.

4.8.1 Cable types and lengths

Since capacitance in the motor cable causes loading on the output of the drive, ensure the cable length does not exceed the values given in Table 4-6, Table 4-7 and Table 4-8.
Use 105°C (221°F) (UL 60/75°C temp rise) PVC-insulated cable with copper conductors having a suitable voltage rating, for the following power connections:
AC supply to external EMC filter (when used)
AC supply (or external EMC filter) to drive

Cable lengths in excess of the specified values may be used only when special techniques are adopted; refer to the supplier of the drive.
The default switching frequency is 3kHz for open-loop and closed­loop vector and 6kHz for servo.
High-capacitance cables
The maximum cable length is reduced from that shown in Table 4-6, Table 4-7, Table 4-8 and Table 4-9 if high capacitance motor cables are used.
Most cables have an insulating jacket between the cores and the armor or shield; these cables have a low capacitance and are recommended. Cables that do not have an insulating jacket tend to have high capacitance; if a cable of this type is used, the maximum cable length is half that quoted in the tables. (Figure 4-11 shows how to identify the two types.)

Information
For multiple motors, the precautions given in section 4.8.3 Multiple motors should be followed.
For the other cases listed, it is recommended that an inverter-rated motor be used. This has a reinforced insulation system intended by the manufacturer for repetitive fast-rising pulsed voltage operation.
Users of 575V NEMA rated motors should note that the specification for inverter-rated motors given in NEMA MG1 section 31 is sufficient for motoring operation but not where the motor spends significant periods braking. In that case an insulation peak voltage rating of 2.2kV is recommended.
If it is not practical to use an inverter-rated motor, an output choke (inductor) should be used. The recommended type is a simple iron-cored component with a reactance of about 2%. The exact value is not critical. This operates in conjunction with the capacitance of the motor cable to increase the rise-time of the motor terminal voltage and prevent excessive electrical stress.

4.8.3 Multiple motors

Open-loop only
If the drive is to control more than one motor, one of the fixed V/F modes should be selected (Pr 5.14 = Fd or SrE). Make the motor connections as shown in Figure 4-12 and Figure 4-13. The maximum cable lengths in Table 4-6, Table 4-7, Table 4-8 and Table 4-9 apply to the sum of the total cable lengths from the drive to each motor. It is recommended that each motor is connected through a protection relay
since the drive cannot protect each motor individually. For sinusoidal filter or an output inductor must be connected as shown in Figure 4-13, even when the cable lengths are less than the maximum permissible. For details of inductor sizes refer to the supplier of the drive.
Figure 4-12 Preferred chain connection for multiple motors
connection, a
The cable used for Table 4-6, Table 4-7, Table 4-8 and Table 4-9 is shielded and contains four cores. Typical capacitance for this type of cable is 130pF/m (i.e. from one core to all others and the shield connected together).

4.8.2 Motor winding voltage

The PWM output voltage can adversely affect the inter-turn insulation in the motor. This is because of the high rate of change of voltage, in conjunction with the impedance of the motor cable and the distributed nature of the motor winding.
For normal operation with AC supplies up to 500Vac and a standard motor with a good quality insulation system, there is no need for any special precautions. In case of doubt the motor supplier should be consulted.
Special precautions are recommended under the following conditions, but only if the motor cable length exceeds 10m:
AC supply voltage exceeds 500V
DC supply voltage exceeds 670V

4.9 Braking

Braking occurs when the drive is decelerating the motor, or is preventing the motor from gaining speed due to mechanical influences. During braking, energy is returned to the drive from the motor.
When the motor is being braked by the drive, the maximum regenerated power that the drive can absorb is equal to the power dissipation (losses) of the drive.
When the regenerated power is likely to exceed these losses, the DC bus voltage of the drive increases. Under default conditions, the drive brakes the motor under PI control, which extends the deceleration time as necessary in order to prevent the DC bus voltage from rising above a user defined set-point.
If the drive is expected to rapidly decelerate a load, or to hold back an overhauling load, a braking resistor must be installed.
Table 4-10 shows the DC voltage level at which the drive turns on the braking transistor.
Table 4-10 Braking transistor turn on voltage
Drive voltage rating DC bus voltage level
200V 390V 400V 780V 575V 930V 690V 1120V
4.8.4 A / Δ motor operation
The voltage rating for A and Δ connections of the motor should always be checked before attempting to run the motor.
The default setting of the motor rated voltage parameter is the same as the drive rated voltage, i.e.
400V drive 400V rated voltage 200V drive 200V rated voltage
A typical 3 phase motor would be connected in for 200V operation, however, variations on this are common e.g.
A for 400V operation or Δ
A 690V Δ 400V
Incorrect connection of the windings will cause severe under or over fluxing of the motor, leading to a very poor output torque or motor saturation and overheating respectively.

4.8.5 Output contactor

If the cable between the drive and the motor is to be interrupted by a contactor or circuit breaker, ensure that the drive is disabled before the contactor or circuit breaker is opened or closed. Severe arcing may occur if this circuit is interrupted with the motor running at high current and low speed.
A contactor is sometimes required to be installed between the drive and motor for safety purposes.
The recommended motor contactor is the AC3 type. Switching of an output contactor should only occur when the output of
the drive is disabled. Opening or closing of the contactor with the drive enabled will lead to:
1. OI.AC trips (which cannot be reset for 10 seconds)
2. High levels of radio frequency noise emission
3. Increased contactor wear and tear The Drive Enable terminal (T31) when opened provides a SAFE
TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function. This can in many cases replace output contactors.
For further information see section 4.16 SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE
DISABLE) on page 93.
N
When a braking resistor is used, Pr 0.15 should be set to FASt ramp mode.
High temperatures Braking resistors can reach high temperatures. Locate braking resistors so that damage cannot result. Use cable having insulation capable of withstanding high temperatures.

4.9.1 Heatsink mounted braking resistor

A resistor has been especially designed to be mounted internal to the drive (size 0) or within the heatsink of the drive (sizes 1 and 2). See section 3.11 Internal/heatsink mounted braking resistor on page 54 for mounting details. The design of the resistor is such that no thermal protection circuit is required, as the device will fail safely under fault conditions. On sizes 0, 1 and 2, the in built software overload protection is set up at default for the designated heatsink mounted resistor. Table 4­11 provides the resistor data for each drive rating.
The internal braking resistor for size 0 is fitted with a thermistor which must be connected to the drive whenever the internal braking resistor in installed.
N
The internal/heatsink mounted resistor is suitable for applications with a low level of regen energy only. See Table 4-11.

If the heatsink mounted braking resistor is to be used at more than half of its average power rating then the drive's cooling fan must be at full speed controlled by setting Pr 6.45 to On (1).

* To keep the temperature of the resistor below 70°C (158°F) in a 30°C (86°F) ambient, the average power rating is 50W for size 1 and 100W for size 2. The above parameter settings ensure this is the case.
Size 3 and larger do not have heatsink mounted braking resistors, hence the default values of Pr 10.30 and Pr 10.31 are 0 (i.e. software braking resistor overload protection disabled).
The internal braking resistor for size 0 can be used with the drive even though its resistance is lower than the minimum resistance values given in Table 4-12, because of the following reasons.
The braking resistor overload protection function in the drive is set up to limit the power dissipated in the resistor
The braking resistor is fitted with a thermistor which will trip the drive if the resistor is too hot
The power rating of the resistor is only 50W
If an external resistor is used with the drive, its resistance must be equal to or greater than the value given in Table 4-12.

4.9.2 External braking resistor

Overload protection When an external braking resistor is used, it is essential that an overload protection device is incorporated in the braking resistor circuit; this is described in Figure 4-14 on page 74.

* Resistor tolerance: ±10% ** The power ratings specified are for a stand-alone drive only. If the
drive is part of a common DC bus system different ratings must be used. Contact the supplier of the drive for more information.
For high-inertia loads or under continuous braking, the continuous power dissipated in the braking resistor may be as high as the power rating of the drive. The total energy dissipated in the braking resistor is dependent on the amount of energy to be extracted from the load.
The instantaneous power rating refers to the short-term maximum power dissipated during the on intervals of the pulse width modulated braking control cycle. The braking resistor must be able to withstand this dissipation for short intervals (milliseconds). Higher resistance values require proportionately lower instantaneous power ratings.
In most applications, braking occurs only occasionally. This allows the continuous power rating of the braking resistor to be much lower than the power rating of the drive. It is essential, though, that the instantaneous power rating and energy rating of the braking resistor are sufficient for the most extreme braking duty that is likely to be encountered.
Optimization of the braking resistor requires a careful consideration of the braking duty.
Select a value of resistance for the braking resistor that is not less than the specified minimum resistance. Larger resistance values may give a cost saving, as well as a safety benefit in the event of a fault in the braking system. Braking capability will then be reduced, which could cause the drive to trip during braking if the value chosen is too large.
Thermal protection circuit for the braking resistor
The thermal protection circuit must disconnect the AC supply from the drive if the resistor becomes overloaded due to a fault. Figure 4-14 shows a typical circuit arrangement.
Figure 4-14 Typical protection circuit for a braking resistor
See Figure 4-2 on page 62, Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 on page 63, and Figure 4-5 on page 63 for the location of the +DC and braking resistor connections.

4.9.3 Braking resistor software overload protection

The drive software contains an overload protection function for a braking resistor. In order to enable and set-up this function, it is necessary to enter two values into the drive:
Resistor short-time overload time (Pr 10.30)
Resistor minimum time between repeated short-time overloads (Pr 10.31)
This data should be obtained from the manufacturer of the braking resistors.
Pr 10.39 gives an indication of braking resistor temperature based on a simple thermal model. Zero indicates the resistor is close to ambient and 100% is the maximum temperature the resistor can withstand. A br.rS alarm is given if this parameter is above 75% and the braking IGBT is active. An It.br trip will occur if Pr 10.39 reaches 100%, when Pr 10.37 is set to 0 (default value) or 1.
If Pr 10.37 is equal to 2 or 3 an It.br trip will not occur when Pr 10.39 reaches 100%, but instead the braking IGBT will be disabled until Pr 10.39 falls below 95%. This option is intended for applications with parallel connected DC buses where there are several braking resistors, each of which cannot withstand full DC bus voltage continuously. With this type of application it is unlikely the braking energy will be shared equally between the resistors because of voltage measurement tolerances within the individual drives. Therefore with Pr 10.37 set to 2 or 3, then as soon as a resistor has reached its maximum temperature the drive will disable the braking IGBT, and another resistor on another drive will take up the braking energy. Once Pr 10.39 has fallen below 95% the drive will allow the braking IGBT to operate again.
See the Advanced User Guide for more information on Pr 10.30, Pr
10.31, Pr 10.37 and Pr 10.39.
This software overload protection should be used in addition to an external overload protection device.

4.10 Ground leakage

The ground leakage current depends upon whether the internal EMC filter is installed. The drive is supplied with the filter installed. Instructions for removing the internal filter are given in Figure 4-23 Removal of
internal EMC filter (size 1 to 3) and Figure 4-24 Removal of internal EMC filter (sizes 4 to 6) on page 78.
With internal filter installed: Size 0: 12mA* AC at 400V 50Hz
30µA DC with a 600V DC bus (10MΩ)
Size 1 to 3: 28mA* AC at 400V 50Hz

Size 4 to 6: 56mA* AC at 400V 50Hz
18µA DC with a 600V DC bus (33MΩ)
* Proportional to the supply voltage and frequency.
With internal filter removed:
<1mA Note that in both cases there is an internal voltage surge protection device connected to ground. Under normal circumstances this carries negligible current.
When the internal filter is installed the leakage current is high. In this case a permanent fixed ground connection must be provided, or other suitable measures taken to prevent a safety hazard occurring if the connection is lost.

4.10.1 Use of residual current device (RCD)

There are three common types of ELCB / RCD:
1. AC - detects AC fault currents
2. A - detects AC and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC
current reaches zero at least once every half cycle)
3. B - detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC fault currents
Type AC should never be used with drives.
Type A can only be used with single phase drives
Type B must be used with three phase drives

Only type B ELCB / RCD are suitable for use with 3 phase inverter drives.
If an external EMC filter is used, a delay of at least 50ms should be incorporated to ensure spurious trips are not seen. The leakage current is likely to exceed the trip level if all of the phases are not energized simultaneously.

4.11 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)

The requirements for EMC are divided into three levels in the following three sections:
Section 4.11.3, General requirements for all applications, to ensure reliable operation of the drive and minimise the risk of disturbing nearby equipment. The immunity standards specified in section 11 will be met, but no specific emission standards. Note also the special requirements given in Surge immunity of control circuits - long cables and connections outside a building on page 83 for increased surge immunity of control circuits where control wiring is extended.
Section 4.11.4, Requirements for meeting the EMC standard for power drive systems, IEC61800-3 (EN61800-3).
Section 4.11.5, Requirements for meeting the generic emission standards for the industrial environment, IEC61000-6-4, EN61000-6-4,
EN50081-2. The recommendations of section 4.11.3 will usually be sufficient to avoid
causing disturbance to adjacent equipment of industrial quality. If particularly sensitive equipment is to be used nearby, or in a non­industrial environment, then the recommendations of section 4.11.4 or
High ground leakage current
When an EMC filter is used, a permanent fixed ground connection must be provided which does not pass through a connector or flexible power cord. This includes the internal EMC filter.
N
The installer of the drive is responsible for ensuring compliance with the EMC regulations that apply where the drive is to be used.

4.11.1 Grounding hardware

The drive is supplied with a grounding bracket, and sizes 1 to 3 with a grounding clamp, to facilitate EMC compliance. They provide a convenient method for direct grounding of cable shields without the use of "pig-tails". Cable shields can be bared and clamped to the grounding
bracket using metal clips or clamps that the shield must in all cases be continued through the clamp to the intended terminal on the drive, in accordance with the connection details for the specific signal.

A suitable clamp is the Phoenix DIN rail mounted SK14 cable clamp
(for cables with a maximum outer diameter of 14mm). See Figure 4-15 for details of using the grounded metal panel on size 0. See Figure 4-16 and Figure 4-17 for details on installing the grounding
clamp. See Figure 4-18 and Figure 4-19 for details on installing the grounding

For 200V size 0 and frame sizes 3 and above, when the drive is used with ungrounded (IT) supplies the internal EMC filter must be removed unless additional motor ground fault protection is installed or, in the case of 200V size 0 and size 3 only, the external filter is also used. For instructions on removal, refer to Figure 4-22, Figure 4-23 and Figure 4-24. For details of ground fault protection contact the supplier of the drive.
If the drive is used as a motoring drive as part of a Unidrive SP regen system, then the internal EMC filter must be removed.
The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emission into the line power supply. Where the motor cable is short, it permits the requirements of EN61800-3 to be met for the second environment - see section 4.11.4 Compliance with EN 61800-3 (standard for Power Drive
Systems) on page 80 and section 12.1.24 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) on page 270. For longer motor cables the filter continues to
provide a useful reduction in emission level, and when used with any length of shielded motor cable up to the limit for the drive, it is unlikely that nearby industrial equipment will be disturbed. It is recommended that the filter be used in all applications unless the instructions given above require it to be removed or the ground leakage current of 12mA for size 0, 28mA for size 1 to 3 or 56mA for size 4 to 6 is unacceptable. See Figure 4-22, Figure 4-23 and Figure 4-24 for details of removing and installing the internal EMC filter.

Cable layout
Figure 4-26 indicates the clearances which should be observed around the drive and related ‘noisy’ power cables by all sensitive control signals / equipment.
Figure 4-26 Drive cable clearances
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 motor cable, to avoid this noise current spreading through the control system.
Feedback device cable shielding
Shielding considerations are important for PWM drive installations due to the high voltages and currents present in the output (motor) circuit with a very wide frequency spectrum, typically from 0 to 20 MHz.
The following guidance is divided into two parts:
1. Ensuring correct transfer of data without disturbance from electrical
noise originating either within the drive or from outside.
2. Additional measures to prevent unwanted emission of radio
frequency noise. These are optional and only required where the
installation is subject to specific requirements for radio frequency
emission control.
To ensure correct transfer of data, observe the following:
Resolver connections:
Use a cable with an overall shield and twisted pairs for the resolver signals
Connect the cable shield to the drive 0V connection by the shortest possible link ("pigtail")
It is generally preferable not to connect the cable shield to the resolver. However in cases where there is an exceptional level of common-mode noise voltage present on the resolver body, it may be helpful to connect the shield there. If this is done then it becomes essential to ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtails" at both shield connections, and possibly to clamp the cable shield directly to the resolver body and to the drive grounding bracket.
The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable, ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the shield connections at each interruption.
Encoder connections:
Use a cable with the correct impedance
Use a cable with individually shielded twisted pairs
Connect the cable shields to 0V at both the drive and the encoder, using the shortest possible links ("pigtails")
The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable, ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the shield connections at each interruption. Preferably, use a connection method which provides substantial metallic clamps for the cable shield terminations.
The above applies where the encoder body is isolated from the motor and where the encoder circuit is isolated from the encoder body. Where there is no isolation between the encoder circuits and the motor body, and in case of doubt, the following additional requirement must be observed. This gives the best possible noise immunity.
The shields must be directly clamped to the encoder body (no pigtail) and to the drive grounding bracket. This may be achieved by clamping of the individual shields or by providing an additional overall shield which is clamped.
N
The recommendations of the encoder manufacturer must also be adhered to for the encoder connections.
N
In order to guarantee maximum noise immunity for any application double shielded cable as shown should be used.
In some cases single shielding of each pair of differential signals cables, or a single overall shield with individual shield on the thermistor connections is sufficient. In these cases all the shields should be connected to ground and 0V at both ends.
N
If the 0V is required to be left floating a cable with individual shields and an overall shield must be used.
Figure 4-27 and Figure 4-28 illustrate the preferred construction of cable and the method of clamping. The outer sheath of the cable should be stripped back enough to allow the clamp to be installed. The shield must not be broken or opened at this point. The clamps should be installed close to the drive or feedback device, with the ground connections made to a ground plate or similar metallic ground surface.

Operation in the second environment
In all cases a shielded motor cable must be used, and an EMC filter is required for all Unidrive SPs with a rated input current of less than 100A.
The drive contains an in-built filter for basic emission control. In some cases feeding the motor cables (U, V and W) once through a ferrite ring can maintain compliance for longer cable lengths. The requirements of operating in the second environment are met, depending on the motor cable length for 3kHz switching frequency as stated in Table 4-14 and Table 4-15.

Where a filter is not required, follow the guidelines given in section
4.11.3 General requirements for EMC on page 78.
The second environment typically includes an industrial low­voltage power supply network which does not supply buildings used for residential purposes. Operating the drive in this environment without an external EMC filter may cause interference to nearby electronic equipment whose sensitivity has not been appreciated. The user must take remedial measures if this situation arises. If the consequences of unexpected disturbances are severe, it is recommended that the guidelines in section 4.11.5 Compliance with generic emission standards be adhered to.
Refer to section 12.1.24 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) on page 270 for further information on compliance with EMC standards and definitions of environments.
Detailed instructions and EMC information are given in the EMC Data Sheet which is available from the supplier of the drive.

termination of the shield to the terminal housing of
the motor is beneficial. It is unimportant for EMC purposes whether the motor cable contains an
internal (safety) ground core, or there is a separate external ground conductor, or grounding is through the shield alone. An internal ground core will carry a high noise current and therefore it must be terminated as close as possible to the shield termination.

Figure 4-36 Connecting the motor cable to a terminal block in the
enclosure
Using a motor isolator / disconnect-switch
The motor cable shields should be connected by a very short conductor having a low inductance. The use of a flat metal coupling-bar is recommended; conventional wire is not suitable.
The shields should be bonded directly to the coupling-bar using uninsulated metal cable-clamps. Keep the length of the exposed power conductors to a minimum and ensure that all sensitive equipment and circuits are at least 0.3m (12 in) away.
The coupling-bar may be grounded to a known low-impedance ground nearby, for example a large metallic structure which is connected closely to the drive ground.
Figure 4-37 Connecting the motor cable to an isolator / disconnect switch

4.11.6 Variations in the EMC wiring

Interruptions to the motor cable
The motor cable should ideally be a single length of shielded or armored cable having no interruptions. In some situations it may be necessary to interrupt the cable, as in the following examples:
Connecting the motor cable to a terminal block in the drive enclosure
Installing a motor isolator / disconnect switch for safety when work is done on the motor
In these cases the following guidelines should be followed.
Terminal block in the enclosure
The motor cable shields should be bonded to the back-plate using uninsulated metal cable-clamps which should be positioned as close as possible to the terminal block. Keep the length of power conductors to a minimum and ensure that all sensitive equipment and circuits are at least 0.3m (12 in) away from the terminal block.
Surge immunity of control circuits - long cables and connections outside a building
The input/output ports for the control circuits are designed for general use within machines and small systems without any special precautions.
These circuits meet the requirements of EN61000-6-2 (1kV surge) provided the 0V connection is not grounded.
In applications where they may be exposed to high-energy voltage surges, some special measures may be required to prevent malfunction or damage. Surges may be caused by lightning or severe power faults in association with grounding arrangements which permit high transient voltages between nominally grounded points. This is a particular risk where the circuits extend outside the protection of a building.
As a general rule, if the circuits are to pass outside the building where the drive is located, or if cable runs within a building exceed 30m, some additional precautions are advisable. One of the following techniques should be used:
1. Galvanic isolation, i.e. do not connect the control 0V terminal to ground. Avoid loops in the control wiring, i.e. ensure every control wire is accompanied by its return (0V) wire.
2. Shielded cable with additional power ground bonding. The cable shield may be connected to ground at both ends, but in addition the ground conductors at both ends of the cable must be bonded together by a power ground cable (equipotential bonding cable) with

cross-sectional area of at least 10mm2, or 10 times the area of the signal cable shield, or to suit the electrical safety requirements of the plant. This ensures that fault or surge current passes mainly through the ground cable and not in the signal cable shield. If the building or plant has a well-designed common bonded network this precaution is not necessary.
3. Additional over-voltage suppression - for the analog and digital inputs and outputs, a zener diode network or a commercially available surge suppressor may be connected in parallel with the input circuit as shown in Figure 4-38 and Figure 4-39.
If a digital port experiences a severe surge its protective trip may operate (O.Ld1 trip code 26). For continued operation after such an event, the trip can be reset automatically by setting Pr 10.34 to 5.
Figure 4-38 Surge suppression for digital and unipolar inputs and
outputs
Figure 4-39 Surge suppression for analog and bipolar inputs and
outputs
Surge suppression devices are available as rail-mounting modules, e.g. from Phoenix Contact:
Unipolar TT-UKK5-D/24 DC Bipolar TT-UKK5-D/24 AC
These devices are not suitable for encoder signals or fast digital data networks because the capacitance of the diodes adversely affects the signal. Most encoders have galvanic isolation of the signal circuit from the motor frame, in which case no precautions are required. For data networks, follow the specific recommendations for the particular network.

4.12 Serial communications connections

The drive has a serial communications port (serial port) as standard supporting 2 wire EIA485 communications. Please see Table 4-16 for
the connection details for the RJ45 connector.

The communications port applies a 2 unit load to the communications network.
Minimum number of connections are 2, 3, 7 and shield. Shielded cable must be used at all times.

4.12.1 Isolation of the serial communications port

The serial PC communications port is double insulated and meets the requirements for SELV in EN50178.
In order to meet the requirements for SELV in IEC60950 (IT equipment) it is necessary for the control computer to be grounded. Alternatively, when a lap-top or similar device is used which has no provision for grounding, an isolation device must be incorporated in the communications lead.
An isolated serial communications lead has been designed to connect the drive to IT equipment (such as lap-top computers), and is available from the supplier of the drive. See below for details:

When using the CT EIA232 Comms cable the available baud rate is limited to 19.2k baud.

4.12.2 Multi-drop network

The drive can be used on a 2 wire EIA485 multi-drop network using the drive's serial communications port when the following guidelines are adhered to.
Connections
The network should be a daisy chain arrangement and not a star, although short stubs to the drive are allowed.
The minimum connections are pins 2 (RX TX), 3 (isolated 0V), 7 (RX\ TX\) and the shield.
Pin 4 (+24V) on each drive can be connected together but there is no power sharing mechanism between drives and therefore the maximum power available is the same as a single drive. (If pin 4 is not linked to the other drives on the network and has an individual load then the maximum power can be taken from pin 4 of each drive.)
Termination resistors
If a drive is on the end of the network chain then pins 1 and 8 should be linked together. This will connect an internal 120Ω termination resistor between RXTX and RX\TX\. (If the end unit is not a drive or the user wishes to use their own termination resistor, a 120Ω termination resistor should be connected between RXTX and RX\TX\ at the end unit.)
If the host is connected to a single drive then termination resistors should not be used unless the baud rate is high.
CT Comms Cable
The CT Comms Cable can be used on a multi-drop network but should only be used occasionally for diagnostic and set up purposes. The network must also be made up entirely of Unidrive SPs.
If the CT Comms Cable is to be used, then pin 6 (TX enable) should be connected on all drives and pin 4 (+24V) should be linked to at least 1 drive to supply power to the converter in the cable.
Only one CT Comms Cable can be used on a network.

4.12.3 Multi-drop network

All analog terminal functions can be programmed in menu 7. All digital terminal functions (including the relay) can be programmed in

T25 to T29 to change. For more information, please refer to section
11.21.1 Reference modes on page 249and section 11.21.7 Start / stop logic modes on page 254.
The control circuits are isolated from the power circuits in the drive by basic insulation (single insulation) only. The installer must ensure that the external control circuits are insulated from human contact by at least one layer of insulation (supplementary insulation) rated for use at the AC supply voltage.
If the control circuits are to be connected to other circuits classified as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) (e.g. to a personal computer), an additional isolating barrier must be included in order to maintain the SELV classification.
If any of the digital inputs or outputs (including the drive enable input) 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.
Ensure the logic sense is correct for the control circuit to be used. Incorrect logic sense could cause the motor to be started unexpectedly. Positive logic is the default state for Unidrive SP.

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.

The common 0V from analog signals should, wherever possible, not be connected to the same 0V terminal as the common 0V from digital signals. Terminals 3 and 11 should be used for connecting the 0V common of analog signals and terminals 21, 23 and 30 for digital signals. This is to prevent small voltage drops in the terminal connections causing inaccuracies in the analog signals.

The drive enable terminal (T31) provides a SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function. The SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function meets the requirements of EN954-1 category 3 for the prevention of unexpected starting of the drive. It may be used in a safety-related application in preventing the drive from generating torque in the motor to a high level of integrity.
Refer to section 4.16 SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) on page 93 for further information.

4.14.1 Location of encoder connector (size 0)

Before using the encoder connector on size 0 for the first time, the break-out need removing as shown in Figure 4-42.
Figure 4-42 Access to encoder connections
After removing the break-out, ensure that the ground tab is connected to ground. This will connect 0V of the drive to ground. This is required to enable the drive to meet IP20 when the break-out is removed.
Do not remove the break-out if the encoder connection is not required.
The size of the connecting cable between the encoder ground tab and the EMC bracket should be equal to the input cable.

For the SinCos encoder to be compatible with Unidrive SP, the output signals from the encoder must be a 1V peak to peak differential voltage (across Sin to Sinref and Cos to Cosref).
The majority of encoders have a DC offset on all signals. Stegmann encoders typically have a 2.5Vdc offset. The Sinref and Cosref are a flat DC level at 2.5Vdc and the Cos and Sin signals have a 1V peak to peak waveform biased at 2.5Vdc.
Encoders are available which have a 1V peak to peak voltage on Sin, Sinref, Cos and Cosref. This results in a 2V peak to peak voltage seen at the drive's encoder terminals. It is not recommended that encoders of this type are used with Unidrive SP, and that the encoder feedback signals should meet the above parameters (1V peak to peak).
Resolution: The sinewave frequency can be up to 500kHz but the resolution is reduced at high frequency. Table 4-21 shows the number of bits of interpolated information at different frequencies and with different voltage levels at the drive encoder port. The total resolution in bits per revolution is the ELPR plus the number of bits of interpolated information. Although it is possible to obtain 11 bits of interpolation information, the nominal design value is 10 bits.

4.16 SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE
DISABLE)
The SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function provides a means for preventing the drive from generating torque in the motor, with a very high level of integrity. It is suitable for incorporation into a safety system for a machine. It is also suitable for use as a conventional drive enable input.
The SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function makes use of the special property of an inverter drive with an induction motor, which is that torque cannot be generated without the continuous correct active behaviour of the inverter circuit. All credible faults in the inverter power circuit cause a loss of torque generation.

Information
The SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function is fail-safe, so when the SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) input is disconnected the drive will not operate the motor, even if a combination of components within the drive has failed. Most component failures are revealed by the drive failing to operate. SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) is also independent of the drive firmware. This meets the requirements of EN954-1 category 3 for the prevention of operation of
the motor.

On drives with date code P04 and later the SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) input also meets the requirements of EN 81-1 clause 12.7.3 b) as part of a system for preventing unwanted operation
of the motor in a lift (elevator).

Independent approval has been given by BGIA.

Independent approval of concept has been given by TÜV. Please

consult the separate guide for lift applications for further information. SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) can be used to eliminate
electro-mechanical contactors, including special safety contactors, which would otherwise be required for safety applications.
Note on response time of SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE), and use with safety controllers with self-testing outputs (drives with date code P04 and later).
SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) has been designed to have a response time of greater than 1ms, so that it is compatible with safety controllers whose outputs are subject to a dynamic test with a pulse width not exceeding 1ms.
For applications where a fast-acting disable function is required, please see section 11.21.10 Fast Disable on page 257
Note on the use of servo motors, other permanent-magnet motors, reluctance motors and salient-pole induction motors
When the drive is disabled through SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE), a possible (although highly unlikely) failure mode is for two power devices in the inverter circuit to conduct incorrectly.
This fault cannot produce a steady rotating torque in any AC motor. It produces no torque in a conventional induction motor with a cage rotor. If the rotor has permanent magnets and/or saliency, then a transient alignment torque may occur. The motor may briefly try to rotate by up to 180° electrical, for a permanent magnet motor, or 90° electrical, for a salient pole induction motor or reluctance motor. This possible failure mode must be allowed for in the machine design.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by personnel with the required training and experience.
The SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function will only ensure the safety of a machine if it is correctly incorporated into a complete safety system. 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.
To maintain category 3 according to EN954-1 the environment limits given in section 12.1 Drive technical data on page 258 must be adhered to.
SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) inhibits the operation of the drive, this includes inhibiting braking. If the drive is required to provide both braking and SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) in the same operation (e.g. for emergency stop) then a safety timer relay or similar device must be used to ensure that the drive is disabled a suitable time after braking. The braking function in the drive is provided by an electronic circuit which is not fail-safe. If braking is a safety requirement, it must be supplemented by an independent fail-safe braking mechanism.

SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) does not provide electrical isolation. The supply to the drive must be disconnected by an approved isolation device before gaining access to power connections.
The following diagrams illustrate how the SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) input can be used to eliminate contactors and safety contactors from control systems. Please note these are provided for illustration only, every specific arrangement must be verified for suitability in the proposed application.
In the first example, illustrated in Figure 4-49, the SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) function is used to replace a simple power contactor in applications where the risk of injury from unexpected starting is small, but it is not acceptable to rely on the complex hardware and firmware/software used by the stop/start function within the drive.

The safety function of the example circuit is to ensure that the motor does not operate when the interlocks are not signalling a safe state. The safety relay is used to check the two interlock channels and detect faults in those channels. The stop/start buttons are shown for completeness as part of a typical arrangement, they do not carry out a safety function and are not necessary for the safe operation of the circuit.
Figure 4-51 Category 3 interlock using SAFE TORQUE OFF
(SECURE DISABLE) with protected wiring
In the conventional system, a contactor failure in the unsafe direction is detected the next time the safety relay is reset. Since the drive is not part of the safety system it has to be assumed that AC power is always
In the second example, illustrated in Figure 4-50 and Figure 4-51, a conventional high-integrity system which uses two safety contactors with auxiliary contacts with connected movement is replaced by a single SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) system. This arrangement meets EN954-1 category 3.
available to drive the motor, so two contactors in series are required in order to prevent the first failure from causing an unsafe event (i.e. the motor driven).
With SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE) there are no single faults in the drive which can permit the motor to be driven. Therefore it is not necessary to have a second channel to interrupt the power connection, nor a fault detection circuit.
It is important to note that a single short-circuit from the Enable input (SAFE TORQUE OFF (SECURE DISABLE)) to a DC supply of approximately +24V would cause the drive to be enabled. For this reason, Figure 4-51 shows the wire from the Enable input to the safety relay as "protected wiring" so that the possibility of a short circuit from this wire to the DC supply can be excluded, as specified in ISO 13849-2. The wiring can be protected by placing it in a segregated cable duct or other enclosure, or by providing it with a grounded shield. The shield is

provided to avoid a hazard from an electrical fault. It may be grounded by any convenient method, no special EMC precautions are required.
If the use of protected wiring is not acceptable, so that the possibility of this short circuit must be allowed for, then a relay must be used to monitor the state of the Enable input, together with a single safety contactor to prevent operation of the motor after a fault. This is illustrated in Figure 4-52.

This chapter introduces the user interfaces, menu structure and security level of the drive.

5.1 Understanding the display

There are two types of keypad available for the Unidrive SP, LED and LCD. The SM-Keypad and SP0 Keypad have an LED display, and the SM­Keypad Plus has an LCD display. The SP0 Keypad can only be fitted to size 0, and the SM-Keypad can only be fitted to size 1 to 6. The SM-Keypad Plus can either be fitted to the size 1 to 6, or it can be remotely mounted on an enclosure door.

5.1.1 SM-Keypad/SP0 Keypad (LED)

The display consists of two horizontal rows of 7 segment LED displays. The upper display shows the drive status or the current menu and
parameter number being viewed. The lower display shows the parameter value or the specific trip type.
Figure 5-1 SM-Keypad Figure 5-2 SM-Keypad Plus

5.1.2 SM-Keypad Plus (LCD)

The display consists of three lines of text. The top line shows the drive status or the current menu and parameter
number being viewed on the left, and the parameter value or the specific trip type on the right.
The lower two lines show the parameter name or the help text.
Figure 5-3 SP0 Keypad
The red stop button is also used to reset the drive.
The SM-Keypad/SP0 Keypad and the SM-Keypad Plus can indicate when a SMARTCARD access is taking place or when the second motor map is active (menu 21). These are indicated on the displays as follows.

5.2 Keypad operation

5.2.1 Control buttons

The keypad consists of:
1. Joypad - used to navigate the parameter structure and change parameter values.
2. Mode button - used to change between the display modes – parameter view, parameter edit, status.
3. Three control buttons - used to control the drive if keypad mode is selected.
4. Help button (SM-Keypad Plus only) - displays text briefly describing the selected parameter. The Help button toggles between other display modes and parameter help mode. The up and down functions on the joypad scroll the help text to
allow the whole string to be viewed. The right and left functions on the joypad have no function when help text is being viewed. The display examples in this section show the SM-Keypad 7 segment LED display. The examples are the same for the SM-Keypad Plus except that
the information displayed on the lower row on the SM-Keypad is displayed on the right hand side of the top row on the SM-Keypad Plus.

When changing the values of parameters, make a note of the new values in case they need to be entered again.
For new parameter-values to apply after the AC supply to the drive is interrupted, new values must be saved. Refer to section 5.7 Saving parameters on page 100.
Do not change parameter values without careful consideration; incorrect values may cause damage or a safety hazard.

5.3 Menu structure

The drive parameter structure consists of menus and parameters. The drive initially powers up so that only menu 0 can be viewed. The up
and down arrow buttons are used to navigate between parameters and once level 2 access (L2) has been enabled (see Pr 0.49) the left and right buttons are used to navigate between menus. For further information, refer to section 5.9 Parameter access level and security on page 101.

The menus and parameters roll over in both directions. i.e. if the last parameter is displayed, a further press will cause the
display to rollover and show the first parameter. When changing between menus the drive remembers which parameter
was last viewed in a particular menu and thus displays that parameter.

5.6 Changing the operating mode

Changing the operating mode returns all parameters to their default value, including the motor parameters. (Pr 0.49 Security status and Pr 0.34 User security code are not affected by this procedure.)
Procedure
Use the following procedure only if a different operating mode is required:
1. Ensure the drive is not enabled, i.e. terminal 31 is open or Pr 6.15 is Off (0)
2. Enter either of the following values in Pr xx.00, as appropriate: 1253 (EUR, 50Hz AC supply frequency) 1254 (USA, 60Hz AC supply frequency)
3. Change the setting of Pr 0.48 as follows:
Pr 0.48 setting Operating mode
1 Open-loop
2 Closed-loop vector
3 Closed-loop Servo
Regen (See the Unidrive SP Regen
Installation Guide for more information
4
about operating in this mode)
The figures in the second column apply when serial communications are used.
4. Either:
Press the red reset button
Toggle the reset digital input
Carry out a drive reset through serial communications by setting Pr 10.38 to 100 (ensure that Pr. xx.00 returns to 0).
Entering 1253 or 1254 in Pr xx.00 will only load defaults if the setting of Pr 0.48 has been changed.

5.7 Saving parameters

When changing a parameter in Menu 0, the new value is saved when pressing the Mode button to return to parameter view mode from
parameter edit mode. If parameters have been changed in the advanced menus, then the
change will not be saved automatically. A save function must be carried out.
Procedure
Enter 1000* in Pr. xx.00 Either:
Press the red reset button
Toggle the reset digital input
Carry out a drive reset through serial communications by setting Pr 10.38 to 100 (ensure that Pr. xx.00 returns to 0).
*If the drive is in the under voltage trip state or is being supplied from a low voltage DC supply, a value of 1001 must be entered into Pr xx.00 to perform a save function.

5.8 Restoring parameter defaults

Restoring parameter defaults by this method saves the default values in the drive’s memory. (Pr 0.49 and Pr 0.34 are not affected by this procedure.)
Procedure
1. Ensure the drive is not enabled, i.e. terminal 31 is open or Pr 6.15 is Off (0)
2. Enter 1233 (EUR 50Hz settings) or 1244 (USA 60Hz settings) in Pr xx.00.
