1.3 Safety Precautions
WARNING
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous
whenever connected to mains. Incorrect installation of
the motor, frequency converter or eldbus may cause
death, serious personal injury or damage to the
equipment. Consequently, the instructions in this
manual, as well as national and local rules and safety
regulations, must be complied with.
Safety Regulations
1.Always disconnect mains supply to the frequency
converter before carrying out repair work. Check
that the mains supply has been disconnected and
observe the discharge time stated in Table 1.2
before removing motor and mains supply.
2.[O/Reset] on the LCP does not disconnect the
mains supply and must not be used as a safety
switch.
3.Ground the equipment properly, protect the user
against supply voltage, and protect the motor
against overload in accordance with applicable
national and local regulations.
4.Protection against motor overload is not included
in the factory setting. If this function is desired,
set parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to [4]ETR trip 1 or [3] ETR warning 1.
5.The frequency converter has more voltage
sources than L1, L2 and L3, when load sharing
(linking of DC intermediate circuit). Check that all
voltage sources have been disconnected and that
the necessary time has elapsed before
commencing repair work.
1.The motor can be stopped with digital
commands, bus commands, references or a local
stop, while the frequency converter is connected
to mains. If personal safety considerations (e.g.
risk of personal injury caused by contact with
moving parts following an unintentional start)
make it necessary to ensure that no unintended
start occurs, these stop functions are not
sucient. In such cases, disconnect the mains
supply.
2.The motor may start while setting the
parameters. If this means that personal safety
may be compromised, motor starting must be
prevented, for instance by secure disconnection
of the motor connection.
3.A motor that has been stopped with the mains
supply connected, may start if faults occur in the
electronics of the frequency converter, through
temporary overload or if a fault in the power
supply grid or motor connection is remedied. If
unintended start must be prevented for personal
safety reasons, the normal stop functions of the
frequency converter are not sucient. In such
cases, disconnect the mains supply.
4.In rare cases, control signals from, or internally
within, the frequency converter may be activated
in error, be delayed, or fail to occur entirely.
When used in situations where safety is critical,
e.g. when controlling the electromagnetic brake
function of a hoist application, do not rely on
these control signals exclusively.
NOTICE
Hazardous situations shall be identied by the machine
builder/integrator responsible for considering necessary
preventive means. Additional monitoring and protective
devices may be included, always according to valid
national safety regulations, such as laws on mechanical
tools and regulations for the prevention of accidents.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors,
which can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. High voltage can be present
even when the warning LED indicator lights are o.
Failure to wait the specied time after power has been
removed before performing service or repair work can
result in death or serious injury.
Stop the motor.
•
Disconnect AC mains and remote DC-link power
•
supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and
DC-link connections to other frequency
converters.
Disconnect or lock PM motor.
•
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully. The
•
minimum waiting time is specied in Table 1.2
and is also visible on the product label on top
of the frequency converter.
Before performing any service or repair work,
•
use an appropriate voltage measuring device to
make sure that the capacitors are fully
discharged.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal even after the
equipment has been disconnected from mains.
Make sure that all voltage inputs have been disconnected, including load sharing (linkage of DC
intermediate circuit), as well as motor connection for
kinetic back up.
Systems where frequency converters are installed must, if
necessary, be equipped with additional monitoring and
protective devices according to valid safety regulations,
such as laws on mechanical tools, regulations for the
prevention of accidents, etc. Modications to the
frequency converters via the operating software are
allowed.
This manual is regularly reviewed and updated. All
suggestions for improvement are welcome.

the preservation of material by ensuring the equipment is
properly installed, maintained, and used as intended.
Danfoss CE labels comply with the Low Voltage Directive,
and Danfoss provides a declaration of conformity upon
request.
1.6.3 EMC Directive
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) means that electromagnetic interference between pieces of equipment does
not hinder their performance. The basic protection
requirement of the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU states that
devices that generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) or
whose operation could be aected by EMI must be
designed to limit the generation of electromagnetic
interference and shall have a suitable degree of immunity
to EMI when properly installed, maintained, and used as
intended.
A drive can be used as stand-alone device or as part of a
more complex installation. Devices in either of these cases
must bear the CE mark. Systems must not be CE-marked
but must comply with the basic protection requirements of
the EMC directive.
This section describes how to wire the frequency converter.

performed only by trained and qualied personnel.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
WIRING ISOLATION
Run input power, motor wiring, and control wiring in 3
separate metallic conduits, or use separated shielded
cables for high-frequency noise isolation. Failure to
isolate power, motor, and control wiring could result in
less than optimum frequency converter and associated
equipment performance.
Run motor cables from multiple frequency converters
separately. Induced voltage from output motor cables
run together can charge equipment capacitors even with
the equipment turned o and locked out. Failure to run
output motor cables separately or use shielded cables
could result in death or serious injury.
Run output motor cables separately.
•
Use shielded cables.
•
Lock out all frequency converters simultaneously.
•
Wire type and ratings
All wiring must comply with local and national
•
regulations regarding cross-section and ambient
temperature requirements.
Danfoss recommends that all power connections
•
are made with a minimum 75 °C (167 °F) rated
copper wire.
See chapter 4 Specications for recommended
•
wire sizes.
WARNING
GROUNDING HAZARD!
For operator safety, a certied electrical installer should
ground the frequency converter in accordance with
national and local electrical codes as well as instructions
contained within this manual. Ground currents are higher
than 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the frequency converter
properly could result in death or serious injury.
Establish proper protective grounding for
•
equipment with ground currents higher than 3.5
mA. See chapter 2.8 Earth Leakage Current for
details.
A dedicated ground wire is required for input
•
power, motor power, and control wiring.
Use the clamps provided with the equipment for
•
proper ground connections.
Do not ground 1 frequency converter to another
•
in a “daisy chain” fashion (see Illustration 2.3).
Run output motor cables from multiple frequency
converters separately. Induced voltage from output
motor cables run together can charge equipment
capacitors even when the equipment is turned o and
locked out. Failure to run output motor cables separately
could result in death or serious injury.
Grounding clamps are provided for motor wiring (see
Illustration 2.4).
Do not install power factor correction capacitors
•
between the frequency converter and the motor.
Do not wire a starting or pole-changing device
•
between the frequency converter and the motor.
Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
•
All frequency converters must be used with an
•
isolated input source and with ground reference
power lines. When supplied from an isolated
mains source (IT mains or oating delta) or
TT/TN-S mains with a grounded leg (grounded
delta), set parameter 14-50 RFI Filter to OFF
(enclosure sizes J6–J7) or remove the RFI screw
(enclosure sizes J1–J5). When o, the internal RFI
lter capacitors between the chassis and the
intermediate circuit are isolated to avoid damage
to the intermediate circuit and reduce ground
capacity currents in accordance with IEC 61800-3.
Do not install a switch between the frequency
•
converter and the motor in IT mains.

Using shielded control cables
The preferred method in most cases is to secure control
and serial communication cables with shielding clamps
provided at both ends to ensure the best possible high
frequency cable contact.
If the ground potential between the frequency converter
and the PLC is dierent, electric noise may occur that
disturbs the entire system. Solve this problem by tting an
equalizing cable as close as possible to the control cable.
Minimum cable cross section: 16 mm2 (6 AWG).

2.3 Control Structures
2.3.1 Control Principle
A frequency converter recties AC voltage from mains into
DC voltage. Then the DC voltage is converted into an AC
current with a variable amplitude and frequency.
The motor is supplied with variable voltage/current and
frequency, enabling innitely variable speed control of 3phased standard AC motors and permanent magnet
synchronous motors.
2.3.2 Control Modes
The frequency converter is capable of controlling either the
speed or the torque on the motor shaft. Setting
parameter 1-00 Conguration Mode determines the type of
control.
Closed loop in VVC+ mode. This function is used
•
in applications with low to medium dynamic
variation of shaft, and oers excellent
performance in all 4 quadrants and at all motor
speeds. The speed feedback signal is mandatory.
It is recommended to use MCB102 option card.
Ensure the encoder resolution is at least 1024
PPR, and the shield cable of the encoder is well
grounded, because the accuracy of the speed
feedback signal is important. Tune
parameter 7-06 Speed PID Lowpass Filter Time to
get the best speed feedback signal.
Open loop in VVC+ mode. The function is used in
•
mechanically robust applications, but the
accuracy is limited. Open-loop torque function
works for 2 directions. The torque is calculated on
the basis of the internal current measurement in
the frequency converter.
Speed/torque reference
The reference to these controls can be either a single
reference or the sum of various references including
relatively scaled references. Reference handling is explained
in detail in chapter 2.4 Reference Handling.
VLT® AutomationDrive FC 360 is a general-purpose frequency converter for variable speed applications. The control principle
is based on Voltage Vector Control+.
0.37–22 kW (0.5–30 hp)
FC 360 0.37–22 kW (0.5–30 hp) frequency converters can handle asynchronous motors and permanent magnet synchronous
motors up to 22 kW.
The current-sensing principle in FC 360 0.37–22 kW (0.5–30 hp) frequency converters is based on the current measurement
by a resistor in the DC link. The ground fault protection and short-circuit behavior are handled by the same resistor.
22
Illustration 2.12 Control Diagram for FC 360 0.37–22 kW (0.5–30 hp)
30–75 kW (40–100 hp)
FC 360 30–75 kW (40–100 hp) frequency converters can handle asynchronous motors only.
The current-sensing principle in FC 360 30–75 kW (40–100 hp) frequency converters is based on the current measurement in
the motor phases.
The ground fault protection and short-circuit behavior on FC 360 30–75 kW (40–100 hp) frequency converters are handled
by the 3 current transducers in the motor phases.
Illustration 2.13 Control Diagram for FC 360 30–75 kW (40–100 hp)
Illustration 2.14 Control Structure in VVC+ Open-loop Congurations and Closed-loop Congurations
In the conguration shown in Illustration 2.14, parameter 1-01 Motor Control Principle is set to [1] VVC+ and
parameter 1-00 Conguration Mode is set to [0] Speed open loop. The resulting reference from the reference handling system
is received and fed through the ramp limitation and speed limitation before being sent to the motor control. The output of
the motor control is then limited by the maximum frequency limit.
If parameter 1-00 Conguration Mode is set to [1] Speed closed loop, the resulting reference is passed from the ramp
limitation and speed limitation into a speed PID control. The speed PID control parameters are in parameter group 7-0*Speed PID Ctrl. The resulting reference from the speed PID control is sent to the motor control limited by the frequency limit.
Select [3] Process in parameter 1-00 Conguration Mode to use the process PID control for closed-loop control of speed or
pressure in the controlled application. The process PID parameters are in parameter groups 7-2* Process Ctrl. Feedb and 7-3*Process PID Ctrl.
The frequency converter features an integral current limit
control. This feature is activated when the motor current,
and thus the torque, is higher than the torque limits set in
parameter 4-16 Torque Limit Motor Mode,
parameter 4-17 Torque Limit Generator Mode, and
parameter 4-18 Current Limit.
When the frequency converter is at the current limit during
motor operation or regenerative operation, the frequency
converter tries to get below the preset torque limits as
quickly as possible without losing control of the motor.
2.3.6 Local [Hand On] and Remote [Auto
On] Control
Operate the frequency converter manually via the local
control panel (LCP) or remotely via analog/digital inputs or
eldbus.
Start and stop the frequency converter pressing the [Hand
On] and [O/Reset] keys on the LCP. Set-up is required:
Parameter 0-40 [Hand on] Key on LCP.
•
Parameter 0-44 [O/Reset] Key on LCP.

loop, independent of the setting in parameter 1-00 Congu-ration Mode.
The remote reference is calculated once in every scan
interval and initially consists of 2 types of reference
inputs:
1.X (the external reference): A sum (see
parameter 3-04 Reference Function) of up to 4
externally selected references, comprising any
combination (determined by the setting of
parameter 3-15 Reference 1 Source,
parameter 3-16 Reference 2 Source, and
parameter 3-17 Reference 3 Source) of a xed
preset reference (parameter 3-10 Preset Reference),
variable analog references, variable digital pulse
references, and various eldbus references in any
unit the frequency converter is monitoring ([Hz],
[RPM], [Nm], and so on).
2.Y (the relative reference): A sum of 1 xed preset
reference (parameter 3-14 Preset Relative Reference)
and 1 variable analog reference
(parameter 3-18 Relative Scaling ReferenceResource) in [%].
The 2 types of reference inputs are combined in the
following formula:
Remote reference=X+X*Y/100%.
If relative reference is not used, set parameter 3-18 Relative
Scaling Reference Resource to [0] No function and
parameter 3-14 Preset Relative Reference to 0%. The digital
inputs on the frequency converter can activate both the
catch up/slow down function and the freeze reference
function. The functions and parameters are described in
the VLT® AutomationDrive FC 360 Programming Guide.
The scaling of analog references is described in parametergroups 6-1* Analog Input 53 and 6-2* Analog Input 54, and
the scaling of digital pulse references is described in
parameter group 5-5* Pulse Input.
Reference limits and ranges are set in parameter group 3-0*Reference Limits.

2.4.1 Reference Limits
Parameter 3-00 Reference Range, parameter 3-02 Minimum
Reference, and parameter 3-03 Maximum Reference dene
the allowed range of the sum of all references. The sum of
all references is clamped when necessary. The relation
between the resulting reference (after clamping) and the
sum of all references are shown in Illustration 2.17 and
Illustration 2.18.
The value of parameter 3-02 Minimum Reference cannot be
set to less than 0, unless parameter 1-00 CongurationMode is set to [3] Process. In that case, the following
relations between the resulting reference (after clamping)
and the sum of all references are as shown in
Illustration 2.19.

2.4.3 Scaling of Analog and Pulse
References and Feedback
22
References and feedback are scaled from analog and pulse
inputs in the same way. The only dierence is that a
reference above or below the specied minimum and
maximum endpoints (P1 and P2 in Illustration 2.20) are
clamped while a feedback above or below is not.

Reference is Set to a Minus Value
2.4.2 Scaling of Preset References and Bus
References
Preset references are scaled according to the following
rules:
When parameter 3-00 Reference Range is set to [0]
•
Min–Max, 0% reference equals 0 [unit] where unit
can be any unit, for example RPM, m/s, and bar.
100% reference equals the maximum (absolute
value of parameter 3-03 Maximum Reference,
absolute value of parameter 3-02 MinimumReference).
When parameter 3-00 Reference Range is set to [1]
•
-Max–+Max, 0% reference equals 0 [unit], and
100% reference equals maximum reference.
Bus references are scaled according to the following
rules:
When parameter 3-00 Reference Range is set to [0]
•
Min–Max, 0% reference equals minimum
reference and 100% reference equals maximum
reference.
When parameter 3-00 Reference Range is set to [1]
•
-Max–+Max, -100% reference equals -maximum
reference, and 100% reference equals maximum
reference.
The endpoints P1 and P2 are dened in Table 2.3 depending on choice of input.

Sometimes, the reference (in rare cases also the feedback)
should have a dead band around 0 to ensure that the
machine is stopped when the reference is near 0.
To make the dead band active and to set the amount of
dead band, do the following:
P1 or P2 denes the size of the dead band as shown in
Illustration 2.21.
Set either the minimum reference value (see
•
Table 2.3 for relevant parameter) or maximum
reference value at 0. In other words, either P1 or
P2 must be on the X-axis in Illustration 2.21.
