product manufacturer conforms to all applicable EU
directives.
The EU directives applicable to the design and
manufacture of drives are:
The Low Voltage Directive.
•
The EMC Directive.
•
The Machinery Directive (for units with an
•
integrated safety function).
The CE mark is intended to eliminate technical barriers to
free trade between the EC and EFTA states inside the ECU.
The CE mark does not regulate the quality of the product.
Technical specications cannot be deduced from the CE
mark.
1.4.2 Low Voltage Directive
Drives are classied as electronic components and must be
CE-labeled in accordance with the Low Voltage Directive.
The directive applies to all electrical equipment in the 50–
1000 V AC and the 75–1500 V DC voltage ranges.
The directive mandates that the equipment design must
ensure the safety and health of people and livestock, and
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.
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.

3.2 Automated Operational Features
Automated operational features are active when the drive
is operating. Most of them require no programming or setup. The drive has a range of built-in protection functions
to protect itself and the motor when it runs.
33
For details of any set-up required, in particular motor
parameters, refer to the programming guide.
3.2.1 Short-circuit Protection
The overvoltage can be handled either using a brake
function (parameter 2-10 Brake Function) and/or using
overvoltage control (parameter 2-17 Over-voltage Control).
Brake functions
AC brake is an alternative to improving braking without
using a brake resistor. This function controls an overmagnetization of the motor when the motor is acting as a
generator. Increasing the electrical losses in the motor
allows the OVC function to increase the braking torque
without exceeding the overvoltage limit.
NOTICE
Motor (phase-to-phase)
The drive is protected against short circuits on the motor
side by current measurement in each of the 3 motor
phases. A short circuit between 2 output phases causes an
overcurrent in the inverter. The inverter is turned o when
the short circuit current exceeds the allowed value (Alarm16, Trip Lock).
Mains side
A drive that works correctly limits the current it can draw
from the supply. Still, it is recommended to use fuses
and/or circuit breakers on the supply side as protection if
there is component break-down inside the drive (1st fault).
NOTICE
To ensure compliance with IEC 60364 for CE, it is
mandatory to use fuses and/or circuit breakers.
AC brake is not as eective as dynamic braking with a
resistor.
Overvoltage control (OVC)
By automatically extending the ramp-down time, OVC
reduces the risk of the drive tripping due to an
overvoltage on the DC link.
NOTICE
OVC can be activated for a PM motor.
NOTICE
Do not enable OVC in hoisting applications.
3.2.3 Missing Motor Phase Detection
3.2.2 Overvoltage Protection
Motor-generated overvoltage
The voltage in the DC link is increased when the motor
acts as a generator. This situation occurs in the following
cases:
The load rotates the motor at constant output
•
frequency from the drive, that is, the load
generates energy.
During deceleration (ramp-down) if the inertia
•
moment is high, the friction is low, and the rampdown time is too short for the energy to be
dissipated as a loss throughout the drive system.
Incorrect slip compensation setting causing
•
higher DC-link voltage.
Back EMF from PM motor operation. If coasted at
•
high RPM, the PM motor back EMF can
potentially exceed the maximum voltage
tolerance of the drive and cause damage. To help
prevent this situation, the value of
parameter 4-19 Max Output Frequency is automatically limited based on an internal calculation
based on the value of parameter 1-40 Back EMF at1000 RPM, parameter 1-25 Motor Nominal Speed,
and parameter 1-39 Motor Poles.
The missing motor phase function (parameter 4-58 MissingMotor Phase Function) is enabled by default to avoid motor
damage if a motor phase is missing. The default setting is
1000 ms, but it can be adjusted for faster detection.
3.2.4 Supply Voltage Imbalance Detection
Operation under severe supply voltage imbalance reduces
the lifetime of the motor and drive. If the motor is
operated continuously near nominal load, conditions are
considered severe. The default setting trips the drive if
there is supply voltage imbalance
(parameter 14-12 Response to Mains Imbalance).
3.2.5 Switching on the Output
Adding a switch to the output between the motor and the
drive is allowed, however fault messages can appear.
The torque limit feature protects the motor against
overload, independent of the speed. Torque limit is
controlled in parameter 4-16 Torque Limit Motor Mode andparameter 4-17 Torque Limit Generator Mode. The time
before the torque limit warning trips is controlled in
parameter 14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit.
Current limit
The current limit is controlled in parameter 4-18 Current
Limit, and the time before the drive trips is controlled in
parameter 14-24 Trip Delay at Current Limit.
Speed limit
Minimum speed limit: Parameter 4-11 Motor Speed Low
Limit [RPM] or parameter 4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz]
limit the minimum operating speed range of the drive.
Maximum speed limit: Parameter 4-13 Motor Speed HighLimit [RPM] or parameter 4-19 Max Output Frequency limits
the maximum output speed that the drive can provide.
Electronic thermal relay (ETR)
ETR is an electronic feature that simulates a bimetal relay
based on internal measurements. The characteristic is
shown in Illustration 3.1.
Voltage limit
The inverter turns
link capacitors when a certain hard-coded voltage level is
reached.
Overtemperature
The drive has built-in temperature sensors and reacts
immediately to critical values via hard-coded limits.
o to protect the transistors and the DC
3.2.7 Locked Rotor Protection
There can be situations when the rotor is locked due to
excessive load or other factors. The locked rotor cannot
produce enough cooling, which in turn can overheat the
motor winding. The drive is able to detect the locked rotor
situation with PM VVC+ control (parameter 30-22 LockedRotor Protection).
3.2.8 Automatic Derating
The drive constantly checks for the following critical levels:
High temperature on the control card or heat
•
sink.
High motor load.
•
High DC-link voltage.
•
Low motor speed.
•
As a response to a critical level, the drive adjusts the
switching frequency. For high internal temperatures and
low motor speed, the drive can also force the PWM pattern
to SFAVM.
NOTICE
The automatic derating is dierent when
parameter 14-55 Output Filter is set to [2] Sine-Wave Filter
Fixed.
3.2.9 Automatic Energy Optimization
Automatic energy optimization (AEO) directs the drive to
monitor the load on the motor continuously and adjust
the output voltage to maximize eciency. Under light
load, the voltage is reduced and the motor current is
minimized. The motor benets from:
Increased eciency.
•
Reduced heating.
•
Quieter operation.
•
There is no need to select a V/Hz curve because the drive
automatically adjusts motor voltage.
3.2.10 Automatic Switching Frequency
Modulation
The drive generates short electrical pulses to form an AC
wave pattern. The switching frequency is the rate of these
pulses. A low switching frequency (slow pulsing rate)
causes audible noise in the motor, making a higher
switching frequency preferable. A high switching
frequency, however, generates heat in the drive that can
limit the amount of current available to the motor.
Automatic switching frequency modulation regulates these
conditions automatically to provide the highest switching
frequency without overheating the drive. By providing a
regulated high switching frequency, it quiets motor
operating noise at slow speeds, when audible noise control
is critical, and produces full output power to the motor
when required.
3.2.11 Automatic Derating for High
Switching Frequency
The drive is designed for continuous, full-load operation at
switching frequencies between 1.5–2 kHz for 380–480 V.
The frequency range depends on power size and voltage
rating. A switching frequency exceeding the maximum
allowed range generates increased heat in the drive and
requires the output current to be derated.
An automatic feature of the drive is load-dependent
switching frequency control. This feature allows the motor
to benet from as high a switching frequency as the load
allows.

3.2.12 Power Fluctuation Performance
The drive withstands mains uctuations such as:
Transients.
•
Momentary drop-outs.
•
33
The drive automatically compensates for input voltages
±10% from the nominal to provide full rated motor voltage
and torque. With auto restart selected, the drive automatically powers up after a voltage trip. With ying start, the
drive synchronizes to motor rotation before start.
Short voltage drops.
•
Surges.
•
3.2.13 Resonance Damping
Resonance damping eliminates the high-frequency motor
resonance noise. Automatic or manually selected frequency
damping is available.
3.2.14 Temperature-controlled Fans
Sensors in the drive regulate the operation of the internal
cooling fans. Often, the cooling fans do not run during low
load operation, or when in sleep mode or standby. These
sensors reduce noise, increase eciency, and extend the
operating life of the fan.
3.2.15 EMC Compliance
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency
interference (RFI) are disturbances that can aect an
electrical circuit due to electromagnetic induction or
radiation from an external source. The drive is designed to
comply with the EMC product standard for drives IEC
61800-3 and the European standard EN 55011. Motor
cables must be shielded and properly terminated to
comply with the emission levels in EN 55011. For more
information regarding EMC performance, see
chapter 7.13.1 EMC Test Results.
The components that make up the galvanic isolation
are:
Supply, including signal isolation.
•
Gatedrive for the IGBTs, trigger transformers, and
•
optocouplers.
The output current Hall eect transducers.
•
3.3 Custom Application Features
Custom application functions are the most common
features programmed in the drive for enhanced system
performance. They require minimum programming or setup. See the programming guide for instructions on
activating these functions.
3.3.1 Automatic Motor Adaptation
Automatic motor adaptation (AMA) is an automated test
procedure used to measure the electrical characteristics of
the motor. AMA provides an accurate electronic model of
the motor, allowing the drive to calculate optimal
performance and eciency. Running the AMA procedure
also maximizes the automatic energy optimization feature
of the drive. AMA is performed without the motor rotating
and without uncoupling the load from the motor.
3.3.2 Built-in PID Controller
The built-in proportional, integral, derivative (PID)
controller eliminates the need for auxiliary control devices.
The PID controller maintains constant control of closedloop systems where regulated pressure, ow, temperature,
or other system requirements must be maintained.
The drive can use 2 feedback signals from 2 dierent
devices, allowing the system to be regulated with dierent
feedback requirements. The drive makes control decisions
by comparing the 2 signals to optimize system
performance.
3.3.3 Motor Thermal Protection
3.2.16 Galvanic Isolation of Control
Terminals
All control terminals and output relay terminals are galvanically isolated from mains power, which completely
protects the controller circuitry from the input current. The
output relay terminals require their own grounding. This
isolation meets the stringent protective extra-low voltage
(PELV) requirements for isolation.
To protect the application from serious damage, the drive
oers several dedicated features.
Torque limit
The torque limit protects the motor from being overloaded
independent of the speed. Torque limit is controlled in
parameter 4-16 Torque Limit Motor Mode and
parameter 4-17 Torque Limit Generator Mode.
Parameter 14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit controls the time
before the torque limit warning trips.
Current limit
Parameter 4-18 Current Limit controls the current limit, and
parameter 14-24 Trip Delay at Current Limit controls the
time before the current limit warning trips.

Minimum speed limit
Parameter 4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz] sets the
minimum output speed that the drive can provide.
Maximum speed limit
Parameter 4-14 Motor Speed High Limit [Hz] or
parameter 4-19 Max Output Frequency sets the maximum
output speed that the drive can provide.
ETR (electronic thermal relay)
The drive ETR function measures the actual current, speed,
and time to calculate motor temperature. The function also
protects the motor from being overheated (warning or
trip). An external thermistor input is also available. ETR is
an electronic feature that simulates a bimetal relay based
on internal measurements. The characteristic is shown in
Illustration 3.1.
The drive can be congured (parameter 14-10 Mains Failure)
to dierent types of behavior during mains drop-out:
Trip lock once the DC-link is exhausted.
•
Coast with ying start whenever mains return
•
(parameter 1-73 Flying Start).
Kinetic back-up.
•
Controlled ramp down.
•
Flying start
This selection makes it possible to catch a motor that is
spinning freely due to a mains drop-out. This option is
relevant for centrifuges and fans.
Kinetic back-up
This selection ensures that the drive runs as long as there
is energy in the system. For short mains drop-out, the
operation is restored after mains return, without bringing
the application to a stop or losing control at any time.
Several variants of kinetic back-up can be selected.
Congure the behavior of the drive at mains drop-out in
parameter 14-10 Mains Failure and parameter 1-73 Flying

3.3.5 Automatic Restart
33
The drive can be programmed to restart the motor
automatically after a minor trip, such as momentary power
loss or uctuation. This feature eliminates the need for
manual resetting and enhances automated operation for
remotely controlled systems. The number of restart

ETR cuts o and trips the drive. The curves show the
characteristic nominal speed at twice the nominal speed
and at 0.2 x the nominal speed.
At lower speed, the ETR cuts o at lower heat due to less
cooling of the motor. In that way, the motor is protected
from being overheated even at low speed. The ETR feature
calculates the motor temperature based on actual current
and speed. The calculated temperature is visible as a
The drive follows a variable V/Hz curve to provide full
motor torque even at reduced speeds. Full output torque
can coincide with the maximum designed operating speed
of the motor. This drive diers from variable torque drives
and constant torque drives. Variable torque drives provide
reduced motor torque at low speed. Constant torque
drives provide excess voltage, heat, and motor noise at less
than full speed.
readout parameter in parameter 16-18 Motor Thermal.
3.3.7 Frequency Bypass
3.3.4 Mains Drop-out
During a mains drop-out, the drive keeps running until the
DC-link voltage drops below the minimum stop level. The
minimum stop level is typically 15% below the lowest
rated supply voltage. The mains voltage before the dropout and the motor load determine how long it takes for
the drive to coast.
In some applications, the system can have operational
speeds that create a mechanical resonance. This
mechanical resonance can generate excessive noise and
possibly damage mechanical components in the system.
The drive has 4 programmable bypass-frequency
bandwidths. The bandwidths allow the motor to step over
speeds that induce system resonance.

3.3.8 Motor Preheat
To preheat a motor in a cold or damp environment, a small
amount of DC current can be trickled continuously into the
motor to protect it from condensation and cold starts. This
function can eliminate the need for a space heater.
33
3.3.9 Programmable Set-ups
The drive has 4 set-ups that can be independently
programmed. Using multi-setup, it is possible to switch
between independently programmed functions activated
by digital inputs or a serial command. Independent set-ups
are used, for example, to change references, or for day/
night or summer/winter operation, or to control multiple
motors. The LCP shows the active set-up.
Set-up data can be copied from drive to drive by
downloading the information from the removable LCP.
3.3.10 Smart Logic Control (SLC)
Smart logic control (SLC) is a sequence of user-dened
actions (see parameter 13-52 SL Controller Action [x])
executed by the SLC when the associated user-dened
event (see parameter 13-51 SL Controller Event [x]) is
evaluated as TRUE by the SLC.
The condition for an event can be a particular status, or
that the output from a logic rule or a comparator operand
becomes TRUE. The condition leads to an associated action
as shown in Illustration 3.2.
Illustration 3.2 SLC Event and Action
Events and actions are each numbered and linked in pairs
(states), which means that when event [0] is fullled
(attains the value TRUE), action [0] is executed. After the 1
action is executed, the conditions of the next event are
evaluated. If this event is evaluated as true, then the
corresponding action is executed. Only 1 event is
evaluated at any time. If an event is evaluated as false,
nothing happens in the SLC during the current scan
interval and no other events are evaluated. When the SLC
starts, it only evaluates event [0] during each scan interval.
Only when event [0] is evaluated as true, the SLC executes
action [0] and starts evaluating the next event. It is
possible to program 1–20 events and actions.
When the last event/action has been executed, the
sequence starts over again from event [0]/action [0].
Illustration 3.3 shows an example with 4 event/actions:

Comparators
Comparators are used for comparing continuous variables
(output frequency, output current, analog input, and so on)
to xed preset values.
3.4 Dynamic Braking Overview
Dynamic braking slows the motor using 1 of the following
methods:
AC brake
•
The brake energy is distributed in the motor by
changing the loss conditions in the motor
(parameter 2-10 Brake Function = [2]). The AC
brake function cannot be used in applications
with high cycling frequency since this situation
overheats the motor.
DC brake
•
An overmodulated DC current added to the AC
current works as an eddy current brake
(parameter 2-02 DC Braking Time≠ 0 s).

3.5 Back-channel Cooling Overview
A unique back-channel duct passes cooling air over the heat sinks with minimal air passing through the electronics area.
There is an IP54/Type 12 seal between the back-channel cooling duct and the electronics area of the VLT® drive. This backchannel cooling allows 90% of the heat losses to be exhausted directly outside the enclosure. This design improves
reliability and prolongs component life by dramatically reducing interior temperatures and contamination of the electronic

components. Dierent back-channel cooling kits are available to redirect the airow based on individual needs.

6.3 Operating Environment
In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or
corrosive gases, ensure that the IP/Type rating of the
equipment matches the installation environment. For
specications regarding ambient conditions, see
chapter 5.4 Ambient Conditions.
NOTICE
CONDENSATION
Moisture can condense on the electronic components
and cause short circuits. Avoid installation in areas
subject to frost. Install an optional space heater when
the drive is colder than the ambient air. Operating in
standby mode reduces the risk of condensation as long
as the power dissipation keeps the circuitry free of
moisture.
NOTICE
EXTREME AMBIENT CONDITIONS
Hot or cold temperatures compromise unit performance
and longevity.
Do not operate in environments where the
•
ambient temperature exceeds 55 °C (131 °F).
The drive can operate at temperatures down to
•
-10 °C (14 °F). However, proper operation at
rated load is only guaranteed at 0 °C (32 °F) or
higher.
If temperature exceeds ambient temperature
•
limits, extra air conditioning of the cabinet or
installation site is required.
6.3.1 Gases
Aggressive gases, such as hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, or
ammonia can damage the electrical and mechanical
components. The unit uses conformal-coated circuit boards
to reduce the eects of aggressive gases. For conformalcoating class specications and ratings, see
chapter 5.4 Ambient Conditions.
6.3.2 Dust
When installing the drive in dusty environments, pay
attention to the following:
Keep the heat sink and fans free from dust build-up. For
more service and maintenance information, refer to the
operating guide.
Cooling fans
Fans provide airow to cool the drive. When fans are
exposed to dusty environments, the dust can damage the
fan bearings and cause premature fan failure. Also, dust
can accumulate on fan blades causing an imbalance which
prevents the fans from properly cooling the unit.
6.4 Mounting Congurations
Table 6.1 lists the available mounting congurations for
each enclosure. For specic panel/wall mounting or
pedestal mounting installation instructions, see the
operating guide. See also chapter 5.8 Exterior and Terminal

Periodic maintenance
When dust accumulates on electronic components, it acts
as a layer of insulation. This layer reduces the cooling
capacity of the components, and the components become
warmer. The hotter environment decreases the life of the
electronic components.
Improper mounting can result in overheating and
reduced performance. For proper mounting, refer to
chapter 6.4 Mounting Congurations.
Ensure that top and bottom clearance for air
•
cooling is provided. Clearance requirement:
225 mm (9 in).
Provide sucientairowow rate. See Table 6.2.
•
Consider derating for temperatures starting
•
between 45 °C (113 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F) and
elevation 1000 m (3300 ft) above sea level. See
chapter 6.6 Derating for detailed information on
derating.
The drive utilizes a back-channel cooling concept that
removes heat sink cooling air. The heat sink cooling air
carries approximately 90% of the heat out of the back
channel of the drive. Redirect the back-channel air from
the panel or room by using:
Duct cooling
•
Back-channel cooling kits are available to direct
the heat sink cooling air out of the panel when
IP20/Chassis drives are installed in Rittal
enclosures. Use of these kits reduce the heat in
the panel and smaller door fans can be specied.
Back-wall cooling
•
Installing top and base covers to the unit allows
the back-channel cooling air to be ventilated out
of the room.
Secure the necessary airow over the heat sink.

Derating
6.6
Derating is a method used to reduce output current to
avoid tripping the drive when high temperatures are
reached within the enclosure. If certain extreme operating
conditions are expected, a higher-powered drive can be
selected to eliminate the need for derating. This is called
manual derating. Otherwise, the drive automatically
derates the output current to eliminate the excessive heat
generated by extreme conditions.
Heat sink fan
[m3/hr (cfm)]
Manual derating
When the following conditions are present, Danfoss
recommends selecting a drive 1 power size higher (for
example N132 instead of N110):
Low-speed – continuous operation at low RPM in
•
constant torque applications.
Low air pressure – operating at altitudes above
•
1000 m (3281 ft).
High ambient temperature – operating at
•
ambient temperatures of 10 °C (50 °F).
High switching frequency.
•
Long motor cables.
•
Cables with a large cross-section.
•
Automatic derating
If the following operating conditions are found, the drive
automatically changes switching frequency or switching
pattern (PWM to SFAVM) to reduce excessive heat within
the enclosure:
High temperature on the control card or heat
•
sink.
High motor load or low motor speed.
•
High DC-link voltage.
•
6.6.1 Derating for Low-Speed Operation
When a motor is connected to a drive, it is necessary to
check that the cooling of the motor is adequate. The level
of cooling required depends on the following:
Load on the motor.
•
Operating speed.
•
Duration of operating time.
•
Constant torque applications
A problem can occur at low RPM values in constant torque
applications. In a constant torque application, a motor can
overheat at low speeds because less cooling air is being
provided by the fan within the motor.
If the motor is run continuously at an RPM value lower
than half of the rated value, the motor must be supplied
with extra air cooling. If extra air cooling cannot be
provided, a motor designed for low RPM/constant torque
applications can be used instead.
Variable (quadratic) torque applications
Extra cooling or derating of the motor is not required in
variable torque applications where the torque is proportional to the square of the speed, and the power is
proportional to the cube of the speed. Centrifugal pumps
and fans are common variable torque applications.

7 Electrical Installation Considerations
7.1 Safety Instructions
See chapter 2 Safety for general safety instructions.
WARNING
INDUCED VOLTAGE
Induced voltage from output motor cables from dierent
drives that are 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 or use
•
shielded cables.
77
Simultaneously lock out all the drives.
•
WARNING
Overcurrent protection
Extra protective equipment such as short-circuit
•
protection or motor thermal protection between
drive and motor is required for applications with
multiple motors.
Input fusing is required to provide short circuit
•
and overcurrent protection. If fuses are not
factory-supplied, the installer must provide them.
See maximum fuse ratings in chapter 7.5 Fusesand Circuit Breakers.
Wire type and ratings
All wiring must comply with local and national
•
regulations regarding cross-section and ambient
temperature requirements.
Power connection wire recommendation:
•
Minimum 75 °C (167 °F) rated copper wire.
See chapter 5.5 Cable Specications for recommended wire
sizes and types.
SHOCK HAZARD
The drive can cause a DC current in the ground
conductor and thus result in death or serious injury.
When a residual current-operated protective
•
device (RCD) is used for protection against
electrical shock, only an RCD of Type B is
allowed on the supply side.
Failure to follow the recommendation means that the
RCD cannot provide the intended protection.
CAUTION
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Protection against motor overload is not included in the
default setting. To add this function, set
parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection to [ETR trip] or
[ETR warning]. For the North American market, the ETR
function provides class 20 motor overload protection in
accordance with NEC. Failure to set parameter 1-90 MotorThermal Protection to [ETR trip] or [ETR warning] means
that motor overload protection is not provided and, if
the motor overheats, property damage can occur.

NOTICE
The motor cable must be shielded/armored. If an
unshielded/unarmored cable is used, some EMC
requirements are not complied with. Use a shielded/
armored motor cable to comply with EMC emission
specications. For more information, see
chapter 7.14 EMC-compliant Installation.
Shielding of cables
Avoid installation with twisted shield ends (pigtails). They
spoil the shielding eect at higher frequencies. If it is
necessary to break the shield to install a motor isolator or
contactor, continue the shield at the lowest possible HF
impedance.
Connect the motor cable shield to both the decoupling
plate of the drive and the metal housing of the motor.
Make the shield connections with the largest possible
surface area (cable clamp) by using the installation devices
within the drive.
To control the drive from a PC, install the MCT 10 Set-up
Software. The PC is connected via a standard (host/device)
USB cable, or via the RS485 interface. For more information
on RS485, see chapter 11.3 RS485 Installation and Set-up.
USB is a universal serial bus utilizing 4 shielded wires with
ground pin 4 connected to the shield in the PC USB port.
All standard PCs are manufactured without galvanic
isolation in the USB port.
To prevent damage to the USB host controller through the
shield of the USB cable, follow the ground recommendations described in the operating guide.
When connecting the PC to the drive through a USB cable,
Danfoss recommends using a USB isolator with galvanic
isolation to protect the PC USB host controller from
ground potential
dierences. It is also recommended not
to use a PC power cable with a ground plug when the PC
is connected to the drive through a USB cable. These
recommendations reduce the ground potential dierence,
but does not eliminate all potential dierences due to the
ground and shield connected in the PC USB port.
77
Illustration 7.4 USB Connection
7.4 Control Wiring and Terminals
Control cables must be shielded and the shield must be
connected with a cable clamp at both ends to the metal
cabinet of the unit.
For correct grounding of control cables, see Illustration 7.5.
1Control cables and serial communication cables must be
tted with cable clamps at both ends to ensure the best
possible electrical contact.
2Do not use twisted cable ends (pigtails). They increase the
Electrical Installation Con...VLT® AutomationDrive FC 361
3If the ground potential between the drive and the PLC is
dierent, electric noise can occur that disturbs the entire
system. Fit an equalizing cable next to the control cable.
Minimum cable cross-section: 16 mm2 (6 AWG).
4If long control cables are used, 50/60 Hz ground loops are
possible. Connect 1 end of the shield to ground via a 100
nF capacitor (keeping leads short).
5When using cables for serial communication, eliminate
low-frequency noise currents between 2 drives by
connecting 1 end of the shield to terminal 61. This
terminal is connected to ground via an internal RC link.
Use twisted-pair cables for reducing the dierential mode
interference between the conductors.

7.7 Residual Current Devices (RCD) and
Insulation Resistance Monitor (IRM)
Use RCD relays, multiple protective grounding, or
grounding as extra protection, provided they comply with
local safety regulations.
If a ground fault appears, a DC current can develop in the
faulty current. If RCD relays are used, local regulations
must be observed. Relays must be suitable for protection
of 3-phase equipment with a bridge rectier and for a brief
discharge on power-up. See chapter 7.8 Leakage Current for
more details.
7.8 Leakage Current
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
grounding of equipment where leakage current exceeds
3.5 mA.
Drive technology implies high-frequency switching at high
power. This high-frequency switching generates a leakage
current in the ground connection.
The ground leakage current is made up of several contributions and depends on various system
including:
RFI ltering.
•
Motor cable length.
•
Motor cable shielding.
•
Drive power.

Illustration 7.13 Main Contributions to Leakage Current
The amount of leakage current detected by the RCD
depends on the cut-o frequency of the RCD.

Illustration 7.12 Line Distortion Inuences Leakage Current
If the leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA, compliance with
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (power drive system product standard)
requires special care.
Reinforce grounding with the following protective ground
connection requirements:
Ground wire (terminal 95) of at least 10 mm
•
2
(8 AWG) cross-section.
2 separate ground wires both complying with the
•
dimensioning rules.
See EN/IEC61800-5-1 and EN 50178 for further information.
Using RCDs
Where residual current devices (RCDs), also known as
ground leakage circuit breakers, are used, comply with the
following:
Use RCDs of type B only as they can detect AC
•
and DC currents.
Use RCDs with a delay to prevent faults due to
•
transient ground currents.
Dimension RCDs according to the system
•
congu-
ration and environmental considerations.
The leakage current includes several frequencies
originating from both the mains frequency and the
switching frequency. Whether the switching frequency is
detected depends on the type of RCD used.
Illustration 7.14 Inuence of the RCD Cut-o Frequency on
If the drive is supplied from an isolated mains source (IT
mains, oating delta, or grounded delta) or TT/TN-S mains
with grounded leg, the RFI switch is recommended to be
turned o via parameter 14-50 RFI Filter on the drive and
parameter 14-50 RFI Filter on the lter. For more detail, see
IEC 364-3. In the o position, the lter capacitors between
the chassis and the DC link are cut o to avoid damage to
the DC link and to reduce the ground capacity currents,
according to IEC 61800-3.
If optimum EMC performance is needed, or parallel motors
are connected, or the motor cable length is above 25 m
(82 ft), Danfoss recommends setting parameter 14-50 RFI
Filter to [ON]. Refer also to the Application Note, VLT on IT
Mains. It is important to use isolation monitors that are
rated for use together with power electronics (IEC
61557-8).
7.10 Eciency
Eciency of the drive (η
The load on the drive has little eect on its eciency. In
general, the eciency is the same at the rated motor
frequency f
, whether the motor supplies 100% of the
M,N
rated shaft torque or only 75%, in case of part loads.
The eciency of the drive does not change even if other
U/f characteristics are selected. However, the U/f characteristics inuence the eciency of the motor.
The eciency declines slightly when the switching
frequency is set to a value of above 5 kHz. The eciency is
slightly reduced when the mains voltage is 480 V, or if the
motor cable is longer than 30 m (98 ft).
Drive eciency calculation
Calculate the eciency of the drive at dierent speeds and
loads based on Illustration 7.15. The factor in this graph
must be multiplied by the speciceciency factor listed in
the specication tables in chapter 5.1 Electrical Data,380-480 V.
VLT
)
Example: Assume a 160 kW, 380–480/500 V AC drive at
25% load at 50% speed. Illustration 7.15 shows 0.97 - rated
eciency for a 160 kW drive is 0.98. The actual eciency is
then: 0.97x 0.98=0.95.
Eciency of the motor (η
MOTOR
)
The eciency of a motor connected to the drive depends
on magnetizing level. In general, the eciency is as good
as with mains operation. The eciency of the motor
depends on the type of motor.
In the range of 75–100% of the rated torque, the eciency
of the motor is practically constant, both when the drive
controls it and when it runs directly on the mains.
In small motors, the inuence from the U/f characteristic
on eciency is marginal. However, in motors from 11 kW
(15 hp) and up, the advantages are signicant.
Typically the switching frequency does not aect the
eciency of small motors. Motors from 11 kW (15 hp) and
up have their eciency improved (1–2%) because the
shape of the motor current sine-wave is almost perfect at
high switching frequency.

Electrical devices both generate interference and are aected by interference from other generated sources. The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of these eects depends on the power and the harmonic characteristics of the devices.
Uncontrolled interaction between electrical devices in a system can degrade compatibility and impair reliable operation.
Interference takes the form of the following:
Electrostatic discharges.
•
Rapid voltage
•
High-frequency interference.
•
Electrical interference is most commonly found at frequencies in the range 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Airborne interference from
the drive system in the range 30 MHz to 1 GHz is generated from the inverter, motor cable, and the motor.
Capacitive currents in the motor cable, coupled with a high dU/dt from the motor voltage, generate leakage currents. See
Illustration 7.16. Shielded motor cables have higher capacitance between the phase wires and the shield, and again between
the shield and ground. This added cable capacitance, along with other parasitic capacitance and motor inductance, changes
the electromagnetic emission signature produced by the unit. The change in electromagnetic emission signature occurs
mainly in emissions less than 5 MHz. Most of the leakage current (I1) is carried back to the unit through the PE (I3), leaving

NOTICE
EMC INTERFERENCE
Use shielded cables for motor and control wiring. Make
sure to separate mains input, motor, and control cables
from one another. Failure to isolate these cables can
result in unintended behavior or reduced performance.
Minimum 200 mm (7.9 in) clearance between mains
input, motor, and control cables are required.
NOTICE
INSTALLATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE
There is a risk of overvoltage. Isolation between
components and critical parts could be insucient and
not comply with PELV requirements. Reduce the risk of
overvoltage by using external protective devices or
galvanic isolation.
For installations above 2000 m (6500 ft) altitude, contact
Danfoss regarding PELV compliance.
Non-linear loads such as those found with drives do not
draw current uniformly from the power line. This nonsinusoidal current has components which are multiples of
the basic current frequency. These components are
referred to as harmonics. It is important to control the total
harmonic distortion on the mains supply. Although the
harmonic currents do not directly aect electrical energy
consumption, they generate heat in wiring and
transformers that can aect other devices on the same
power line.
7.15.1 Harmonic Analysis
Since harmonics increase heat losses, it is important to
design systems with harmonics in mind to prevent
overloading the transformer, inductors, and wiring. When
necessary, perform an analysis of the system harmonics to
determine equipment eects.
A non-sinusoidal current is transformed with a Fourier
series analysis into sine-wave currents at dierent
frequencies, that is, dierent harmonic currents IN with
50 Hz or 60 Hz as the basic frequency.

Harmonic currents drawn by non-linear loads cause
distortion of the voltage because of the voltage drop on
the impedances of the distribution system. Higher
impedances result in higher levels of voltage distortion.
Current distortion relates to apparatus performance and it
relates to the individual load. Voltage distortion relates to
system performance. It is not possible to determine the
voltage distortion in the PCC knowing only the harmonic
performance of the load. To predict the distortion in the
PCC, the conguration of the distribution system and
relevant impedances must be known.

Power Supply Systems
The EN 61000–2–2 standard states the requirements for compatibility levels for PCC (point of common coupling) of lowvoltage AC systems on a public supply network. Limits are specied only for harmonic voltage and total harmonic distortion

8 Basic Operating Principles of a Drive
This chapter provides an overview of the primary
8.2 Drive Controls
assemblies and circuitry of a Danfoss drive. It describes the
internal electrical and signal processing functions. A
description of the internal control structure is also
included.
8.1 Description of Operation
A drive is an electronic controller that supplies a regulated
amount of AC power to a 3-phase inductive motor. By
supplying variable frequency and voltage to the motor, the
drive varies the motor speed or maintains a constant
speed as the load on the motor changes. Also, the drive
can stop and start a motor without the mechanical stress
associated with a line start.
The following processes are used to control and regulate
the motor:
User input/reference.
•
Feedback handling.
•
User-dened control structure.
•
-Open loop/closed-loop mode.
-Motor control (speed, torque, or
process).
Control algorithms (VVC+, ux sensorless, ux
•
with motor feedback, and internal current control
VVC+).
In its basic form, the drive can be divided into the
following 4 main areas:
8.2.1 User Inputs/References
88
Rectier
The rectier consists of SCRs or diodes that convert 3phase AC voltage to pulsating DC voltage.
DC link (DC bus)
The DC link consists of inductors and capacitor banks that
stabilize the pulsating DC voltage.
Inverter
The inverter uses IGBTs to convert the DC voltage to
variable voltage and variable frequency AC.
Control
The control area consists of software that runs the
hardware to produce the variable voltage that controls and
regulates the AC motor.
The drive uses an input source (also called reference) to
control and regulate the motor. The drive receives this
input either:
Manually via the LCP. This method is referred to

serial interfaces (RS485, USB, or an optional

The term active reference refers to the active input source.
The active reference is congured in
parameter 3-13 Reference Site. See Illustration 8.2 and

8.2.2 Remote Handling of References
Remote handling of reference applies to both open-loop
and closed-loop operation. See Illustration 8.3.
Up to 8 internal preset references can be programmed into
the drive. The active internal preset reference can be
selected externally through digital control inputs or
through the serial communications bus.
External references can also be supplied to the drive, most
commonly through an analog control input. All reference
sources and the bus reference are added to produce the
total external reference.
The active reference can be selected from the following:
External reference.
•
Preset reference.
•
Setpoint.
•
Sum of the external reference, preset reference,
•
and setpoint.
The active reference can be scaled. The scaled reference is
calculated as follows:
Reference = X + X ×
Where X is the external reference, the preset reference, or
the sum of these references, and Y is parameter 3-14 PresetRelative Reference in [%].
If Y, parameter 3-14 Preset Relative Reference, is set to 0%,
the scaling does not
Feedback handling can be congured to work with applications requiring advanced control, such as multiple setpoints and
multiple types of feedback. See Illustration 8.4. Three types of control are common:
Single zone (single setpoint)
This control type is a basic feedback conguration. Setpoint 1 is added to any other reference (if any) and the feedback
signal is selected.
Multi-zone (single setpoint)
This control type uses 2 or 3 feedback sensors but only 1 setpoint. The feedback can be added, subtracted, or averaged. In
addition, the maximum or minimum value can be used. Setpoint 1 is used exclusively in this conguration.
Multi-zone (setpoint/feedback)
The setpoint/feedback pair with the largest dierence controls the speed of the drive. The maximum value attempts to keep
all zones at or below their respective setpoints, while the minimum value attempts to keep all zones at or above their
respective setpoints.
Example
A 2-zone, 2-setpoint application. Zone 1 setpoint is 15 bar, and the feedback is 5.5 bar. Zone 2 setpoint is 4.4 bar, and the
feedback is 4.6 bar. If maximum is selected, the zone 2 setpoint and feedback are sent to the PID controller, since it has the
smaller dierence (feedback is higher than setpoint, resulting in a negative dierence). If minimum is selected, the zone 1
setpoint and feedback is sent to the PID controller, since it has the larger dierence (feedback is lower than setpoint,
resulting in a positive dierence).

Feedback conversion
In some applications, it is useful to convert the feedback signal. One example is using a pressure signal to provide ow
feedback. Since the square root of pressure is proportional to ow, the square root of the pressure signal yields a value
proportional to the ow, see Illustration 8.5.
88
Illustration 8.5 Feedback Conversion
8.2.4 Control Structure Overview
The control structure is a software process that controls the motor based on user-dened references (for example, RPM) and
whether feedback is used/not used (closed loop/open loop). The operator denes the control in parameter 1-00 Congu-ration Mode.
The control structures are as follows:
Open-loop control structure
Speed (RPM).
•
Torque (Nm).
•
Closed-loop control structure
Speed (RPM).
•
Torque (Nm).
•
•
Process
(user-dened units, for example, feet, lpm, psi, %, bar).
In open-loop mode, the drive uses 1 or more references (local or remote) to control the speed or torque of the motor. There
are 2 types of open-loop control:
Speed control. No feedback from the motor.
•
Torque control. Used in VVC+ mode. The function is used in mechanically robust applications, but its accuracy is
•
limited. Open-loop torque function works only in 1 speed direction. The torque is calculated based on current
measurement within the drive. See chapter 9 Application Examples.
In the conguration shown in Illustration 8.6, the drive operates in open-loop mode. It receives input from either the LCP
(hand-on mode) or via a remote signal (auto-on mode).
The signal (speed reference) is received and conditioned with the following:
Programmed minimum and maximum motor speed limits (in RPM and Hz).
•
Ramp-up and ramp-down times.
•
Motor rotation direction.
•
The reference is then passed on to control the motor.
88

Basic Operating Principles ...VLT® AutomationDrive FC 361
8.2.6 Closed-loop Control Structure
In closed-loop mode, the drive uses 1 or more references (local or remote) and feedback sensors to control the motor. The
drive receives a feedback signal from a sensor in the system. It then compares this feedback to a setpoint reference value
and determines if there is any discrepancy between these 2 signals. The drive then adjusts the speed of the motor to
correct the discrepancy.
For example, consider a pump application in which the speed of the pump is controlled so that the static pressure in a pipe
is constant (see Illustration 8.7). The drive receives a feedback signal from a sensor in the system. It compares this feedback
to a setpoint reference value and determines the discrepancy if any, between these 2 signals. It then adjusts the speed of
the motor to compensate for the discrepancy.
The static pressure setpoint is the reference signal to the drive. A static pressure sensor measures the actual static pressure
in the pipe and provides this information to the drive as a feedback signal. If the feedback signal exceeds the setpoint
reference, the drive ramps down to reduce the pressure. Similarly, if the pipe pressure is lower than the setpoint reference,
the drive ramps up to increase the pump pressure.
There are 3 types of closed-loop control:
Speed control. This type of control requires a speed PID feedback for an input. A properly optimized speed closed-

Programmable features
While the default values for the drive in closed loop often provide satisfactory performance, system control can often be
optimized by tuning the PID parameters. Auto tuning is provided for this optimization.
Inverse regulation - motor speed increases when a feedback signal is high.
•
Start-up frequency - lets the system quickly reach an operating status before the PID controller takes over.
•
Built-in lowpass lter - reduces feedback signal noise.

In Illustration 8.8, 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.
Parameter 1-01 Motor Control Principle is set to [1] VVC+ and parameter 1-00 Conguration Mode is set to [0] Speed open loop.
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 located in parameter group7-0* 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, for example,
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.
8.2.7.2
When the motor torque exceeds the torque limits set in parameter 4-16 Torque Limit Motor Mode, parameter 4-17 Torque LimitGenerator Mode, and parameter 4-18 Current Limit, the integral current limit control is activated.
When the drive is at the current limit during motor operation or regenerative operation, it tries to get below the preset
torque limits as quickly as possible without losing control of the motor.
Congure the correct drive for the proper application by
using the internet-based drive congurator. The drive
congurator is found on the global internet site:
www.danfoss.com/drives. The congurator creates a type
code string and an 8-digit sales number, which can be
delivered to the local sales oce. It is also possible to
build a project list with several products and send it to a
Danfoss sales representative.
An example of a type code string is:

A state entered in fault situations when the drive is
protecting itself and requires physical intervention. A
locked trip can only be canceled by cutting o mains,
removing the cause of the fault, and reconnecting the

by activating reset.
VT characteristics

RS485 is a 2-wire bus interface compatible with multi-drop
network topology. Nodes can be connected as a bus, or via
drop cables from a common trunk line. A total of 32 nodes
can be connected to 1 network segment.
Repeaters divide network segments. Note each repeater
function as a node within the segment in which it is
installed. Each node connected within a given network
must have a unique node address, across all segments.
Terminate each segment at both ends, using either the
termination switch (S801) of the drives or a biased
termination resistor network. Always use shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable for bus cabling, and always follow good
common installation practice.
Low-impedance ground connection of the shield at every
node is important, including at high frequencies. Thus,
connect a large surface of the shield to ground, for
example, with a cable clamp or a conductive cable gland.
If necessary, apply potential-equalizing cables to maintain
the same ground potential throughout the network, particularly in installations with long cables.
To prevent impedance mismatch, always use the same
type of cable throughout the entire network. When
connecting a motor to the drive, always use shielded
motor cable.
If more than 1 drive is connected to a master, use parallel
connections.

To avoid potential equalizing currents in the shield, ground

Illustration 11.3 Control Card Terminals
The RS485 bus must be terminated by using a resistor
network at both ends. For this purpose, set switch S801 on
the control card to "ON".
For more information, see chapter 7.2 Wiring Schematic.
Communication protocol must be set to
parameter 8-30 Protocol.
To achieve interference-free operation of the RS485
network, the following EMC precautions are recommended.
Relevant national and local regulations regarding
protective ground connection, for example, must be
observed. The RS485 communication cable must be kept
away from motor and brake resistor cables to avoid
coupling of high-frequency noise from 1 cable to another.
Normally a distance of 200 mm (8 in) is sucient. However,
in situations where cables run in parallel over long
distances, keeping the greatest possible distance between
cables is recommended. When crossing is unavoidable, the
RS485 cable must cross motor and brake resistor cables at
an angle of 90°.
RS485: FC Protocol Overview
11.4
11.4.1 FC Protocol Overview
The FC protocol, also referred to as FC bus or standard bus,
is the Danfoss standard
technique according to the master/slave principle for
communications via a eld bus.
One master and a maximum of 126 slaves can be
connected to the bus. The master selects the individual
slaves via an address character in the telegram. The slave
itself can never transmit without rst being requested to
do so, and direct message transfer between the individual
slaves is not possible. Communications occur in the halfduplex mode.
The master function cannot be transferred to another node
(single-master system).
The physical layer is RS485, thus utilizing the RS485 port
built into the drive. The FC protocol supports
telegram formats:
A short format of 8 bytes for process data.
•
A long format of 16 bytes that also includes a

Illustration 11.4 EMC Precautions
11.4.2 Drive Set-up
Set the following parameters to enable the FC protocol for
the drive.
Each character transferred begins with a start bit. Then 8
data bits are transferred, each corresponding to a byte.
Each character is secured via a parity bit. This bit is set at
1" when it reaches parity. Parity is when there is an equal
number of 1 characters in the 8 data bits and the parity bit
in total. A stop bit completes a character, thus consisting
of 11 bits in all.
Illustration 11.5 Character (Byte)
11.5.2 Telegram Structure
Each telegram has the following structure:
Start character (STX)=02 hex.
•
A byte denoting the telegram length (LGE).
•
A byte denoting the drive address (ADR).
•
A number of data bytes (variable, depending on the type
of telegram) follows.
11.5.4 Drive Address (ADR)
Two dierent address formats are used.
The address range of the drive is either 1–31 or 1–126.
Address format 1–31
•
-Bit 7=0 (address format 1–31 active).
-Bit 6 is not used.
-Bit 5=1: Broadcast, address bits (0–4) are
not used.
-Bit 5=0: No broadcast.
-Bit 0–4=drive address 1–31.
Address format 1–126
•
-Bit 7=1 (address format 1–126 active).
-Bit 0–6=drive address 1–126.
-Bit 0–6=0 broadcast.
The slave returns the address byte unchanged to the
master in the response telegram.
11.5.5 Data Control Byte (BCC)
The checksum is calculated as an XOR-function. Before the
1st byte in the telegram is received, the calculated
checksum is 0.
A data control byte (BCC) completes the telegram.
Illustration 11.6 Telegram Structure
11.5.3 Telegram Length (LGE)
The telegram length is the number of data bytes plus the
address byte ADR and the data control byte BCC.
The length of telegrams with 4 data bytes is
•
LGE=4+1+1=6 bytes.
The length of telegrams with 12 data bytes is
•
LGE=12+1+1=14 bytes.
The length of telegrams containing texts is 101)+n
•
bytes.
1) The 10 represents the xed characters, while the n is
variable (depending on the length of the text).
The structure of data blocks depends on the type of telegram. There are 3 types, and the type applies to both control
telegrams (master⇒slave) and response telegrams (slave⇒master).
The 3 types of telegram are:
Process block (PCD)
The PCD is made up of a data block of 4 bytes (2 words) and contains:
Control word and reference value (from master-to-slave).
•
Status word and present output frequency (from slave-to-master).
•
Illustration 11.7 PCD
Parameter block
The parameter block is used to transfer parameters between master and slave. The data block is made up of 12 bytes (6
words) and also contains the process block.

11.5.9 Index (IND)
The index is used together with the parameter number to
read/write-access parameters with an index, for example,
parameter 15-30 Alarm Log: Error Code. The index consists
of a low byte and a high byte.
Only the low byte is used as an index.
11.5.10 Parameter Value (PWE)
The parameter value block consists of 2 words (4 bytes),
and the value depends on the dened command (AK). The
master prompts for a parameter value when the PWE block
contains no value. To change a parameter value (write),
write the new value in the PWE block and send from the
master to the slave.
When a slave responds to a parameter request (read
command), the present parameter value in the PWE block
is transferred and returned to the master. If a parameter
contains not a numerical value but several data options,
for example, parameter 0-01 Language[0] English, and [4]Danish, select the data value by entering the value in the
PWE block. Serial communication is only capable of

to transfer decimals.
parameter 15-40 FC Type. When a text string is transferred
(read), the length of the telegram is variable, and the texts
are of dierent lengths. The telegram length is dened in
the 2nd byte of the telegram, LGE. When using text transfer,
the index character indicates whether it is a read or a write
command.
Parameter 4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz] has a conversion
factor of 0.1.
To preset the minimum frequency to 10 Hz, transfer the
value 100. A conversion factor of 0.1 means that the value
transferred is multiplied by 0.1. The value 100 is thus
perceived as 10.0.
To read a text via the PWE block, set the parameter
command (AK) to F hex. The index character high-byte
must be 4.
Examples:
0 s⇒conversion index 0
0.00 s⇒conversion index -2
Some parameters contain text that can be written via the
eldbus. To write a text via the PWE block, set the
0 M/S⇒conversion index -3
0.00 M/S⇒conversion index -5
parameter command (AK) to F hex. The index characters
high-byte must be 5.

Danfoss assumes that the installed controller supports the
interfaces in this manual, and strictly observes all
requirements and limitations stipulated in the controller
and drive.
11.7.2 Prerequisite Knowledge
The Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) is designed to
communicate with any controller that supports the
interfaces dened in this manual. It is assumed that the
reader has full knowledge of the capabilities and
limitations of the controller.

Regardless of the type of physical communication
networks, the Modbus RTU Overview describes the process
a controller uses to request access to another device. This
process includes how the Modbus RTU responds to
requests from another device, and how errors are detected
and reported. It also establishes a common format for the
layout and contents of message elds.
During communications over a Modbus RTU network, the
protocol determines:
How each controller learns its device address.
•
Recognizes a message addressed to it.
•
Determines which actions to take.
•
Extracts any data or other information contained
•
in the message.
If a reply is required, the controller constructs the reply
message and sends it.
Controllers communicate using a master-slave technique in
which only 1 device (the master) can initiate transactions
(called queries). The other devices (slaves) respond by
supplying the requested data to the master, or by
responding to the query.
The master can address individual slaves or can initiate a
broadcast message to all slaves. Slaves return a message,
called a response, to queries that are addressed to them
individually. No responses are returned to broadcast
queries from the master. The Modbus RTU protocol
establishes the format for the master query by placing into
it the device (or broadcast) address, a function code
dening the requested action, any data to send, and an
error-checking eld. The slave response message is also
constructed using Modbus protocol. It contains eldsconrming the action taken, any data to return, and an
error-checking eld. If an error occurs in receipt of the
message, or if the slave is unable to perform the requested
action, the slave constructs an error message, which it
sends in response, or a timeout occurs.
11.7.4 Drive with Modbus RTU
The drive communicates in Modbus RTU format over the
built-in RS485 interface. Modbus RTU provides access to
the control word and bus reference of the drive.
The control word allows the Modbus master to control
several important functions of the drive:
Start.
•
Stop of the drive in various ways:
•
Coast stop.
Quick stop.
DC brake stop.
Normal (ramp) stop.
Reset after a fault trip.
•
Run at various preset speeds.
1111
•
Run in reverse.
•
Change the active set-up.
•
Control the built-in relay of the drive.
•
The bus reference is commonly used for speed control. It is
also possible to access the parameters, read their values,
and, where possible, write values to them, allowing a
range of control options, including controlling the setpoint
of the drive when its internal PI controller is used.

11.7.6 Drive with Modbus RTU
The controllers are set up to communicate on the Modbus
network using RTU mode, with each byte in a message
containing 2 4-bit hexadecimal characters. The format for
each byte is shown in Table 11.10.
The transmitting device places a Modbus RTU message
into a frame with a known beginning and ending point.
Receiving devices are able to begin at the start of the
message, read the address portion, determine which
device is addressed (or all devices, if the message is
broadcast), and to recognize when the message is
completed. Partial messages are detected and errors set as
a result. Characters for transmission must be in
hexadecimal 00–FF format in each eld. The drive continuously monitors the network bus, also during silent
intervals. When the 1st eld (the address eld) is received,
each drive or device decodes it to determine which device
is being addressed. Modbus RTU messages addressed to 0
are broadcast messages. No response is allowed for
broadcast messages. A typical message frame is shown in
Table 11.12.
Messages start with a silent period of at least 3.5 character
intervals, implemented as a multiple of character intervals
at the selected network baud rate (shown as start T1-T2T3-T4). The 1st transmitted eld is the device address.
Following the last transmitted character, a similar period of
at least 3.5 character intervals marks the end of the
message. A new message can begin after this period. The
entire message frame must be transmitted as a continuous
stream. If a silent period of more than 1.5 character
intervals occurs before completion of the frame, the
receiving device ushes the incomplete message and
assumes that the next byte is the address eld of a new
message. Similarly, if a new message begins before 3.5
character intervals after a previous message, the receiving
device considers it a continuation of the previous message,
causing a timeout (no response from the slave), since the
value in the nal CRC (cyclical redundancy check) eld is
not valid for the combined messages.
11.8.3 Address Field
The address eld of a message frame contains 8 bits. Valid
slave device addresses are in the range of 0–247 decimal.
The individual slave devices are assigned addresses in the
range of 1–247 (0 is reserved for broadcast mode, which all
slaves recognize). A master addresses a slave by placing
the slave address in the address eld of the message.
When the slave sends its response, it places its own
address in this address eld to let the master know which
slave is responding.
11.8.4 Function Field
The function eld of a message frame contains 8 bits. Valid
codes are in the range of 1–FF. Function elds are used to
send messages between master and slave. When a
message is sent from a master to a slave device, the
function code eld tells the slave what action to perform.
When the slave responds to the master, it uses the
function code eld to indicate either a normal (error-free)
response, or that an error has occurred (called an
exception response). For a normal response, the slave
simply echoes the original function code. For an exception
response, the slave returns a code that is equivalent to the
original function code with its most signicant bit set to
logic 1. In addition, the slave places a unique code into the
data eld of the response message. This code tells the
master what error occurred, or the reason for the
exception. See chapter 11.9.1 Function Codes Supported byModbus RTU.
11.8.5 Data Field
The data eld is constructed using sets of 2 hexadecimal
digits, in the range of 00–FF hexadecimal. These sequences
are made up of 1 RTU character. The data eld of
messages sent from a master-to-slave device contains more
information, which the slave must use to do what is
dened by the function code. This information can include
items such as coil or register addresses, the quantity of
items, and the count of actual data bytes in the eld.
11.8.6 CRC Check Field
Messages include an error-checking eld, operating based
on a CRC (cyclical redundancy check) method. The CRC
eld checks the contents of the entire message. It is
applied regardless of any parity check method used for the
individual characters of the message. The transmitting
device calculates the CRC value then appends the CRC as
the last eld in the message. The receiving device
recalculates a CRC during receipt of the message and
compares the calculated value to the actual value received
in the CRC
results. The error-checking eld contains a 16-bit binary
value implemented as 2 8-bit bytes. After error-checking,
the low-order byte of the eld is appended rst, followed
by the high-order byte. The CRC high-order byte is the last
byte sent in the message.
eld. If the 2 values are unequal, a bus timeout
11.8.7 Coil Register Addressing
In Modbus, all data are organized in coils and holding
registers. Coils hold a single bit, whereas holding registers
hold a 2 byte word (16 bits). All data addresses in Modbus
messages are referenced to 0. The 1st occurrence of a data
item is addressed as item number 0. For example: The coil
known as coil 1 in a programmable controller is addressed
as coil 0000 in the data address eld of a Modbus
message. Coil 127 decimal is addressed as coil 007Ehex
(126 decimal).
Holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the
data address eld of the message. The function code eld
already species a holding register operation. Therefore,
the 4XXXX reference is implicit. Holding register 40108 is
addressed as register 006Bhex (107 decimal).
The PNU (parameter number) is translated from the
register address contained in the Modbus read or write
message. The parameter number is translated to Modbus
as (10xparameter number) DECIMAL.
11.10.2 Storage of Data
The coil 65 decimal determines whether data written to
the drive is stored in EEPROM and RAM (coil 65=1) or only
in RAM (coil 65=0).
11.10.3 IND
The array index is set in holding register 9 and used when
accessing array parameters.
11.10.4 Text Blocks
Parameters stored as text strings are accessed in the same
way as the other parameters. The maximum text block size
is 20 characters. If a read request for a parameter is for
more characters than the parameter stores, the response is
truncated. If the read request for a parameter is for fewer
characters than the parameter stores, the response is space
lled.
