■Introduction
Danfoss was the world’s first company to manufacture
and supply frequency converters for infinitely variable
speed control of three-phase AC motors. Until then,
AC motors had to operate at the speed determined
by the frequency of the main power supply.
Production of frequency converters started in 1968.
The first frequency converter was also the first
decentralised drive as it was placed next to the motor.
The first frequency converter was totally enclosed and
filled with silicone oil for cooling, as semiconductors
of that time were very inefficient. The enclosure
design was made for mounting the drive directly in
the application next to the motor. Temperature, water,
cleaning agents, dust and other environmental factors
were also no problem, even in harsh environments.
Semiconductors improved during the next decades.
Air-cooling showed sufficient and oil cooling was
abandoned. At the same time use of frequency
converters grew significantly. PLCs gained a footing
for advanced application control and it became
common practice to install all frequency converters in
one cabinet, rather than several places in the factory.
Finally we have included comprehensive information
about the Danfoss decentralised products.

The decentral
Continuing improvements in semi-conductors and
related technologies - such as fieldbus technology
- now again makes it feasible to consider installing
drives close to the motors, achieving the benefits of
decentralised installation without the disadvantages
from the first oil-filled frequency converters.
Development of automation in industry is based on the
ability to send and receive data from the application
needed to control the processes. More and more
sensors are installed and more and more data is
submitted to the central PLC control. This trend
depends on increased use of fieldbus systems.
Industrial sources often claim that up to 30 % of
all drive installations will be installed decentrally
within the next few years and the trend towards
distributed intelligent control is undisputed as
more and more components and applications are
developed for decentralised installation.
This book is a general introduction to basic features
of decentralised installation philosophies for motor
controls and differences from the centralised
concept. It will help you choose the most suitable
concept and guide you through the process of
selecting the appropriate products.

■Decentralised design benefits
In the following we will concentrate on describing
decentralised installation of frequency converters and
motor starters, referred to here as motor controls.
There are two topologic concepts for the layout
of motor control installations in a plant, in
the following referred to as "centralised" and
"decentralised" installations. The two typologies
are illustrated in the figure.
In a centralised installation:
- motor controls are placed in a central place
In a decentralised installation:
- motor controls are distributed throughout the plant,
mounted on or next to the motor they control
Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
Placing the advanced and reliable electronics needed
to ensure a smooth, responsive and economical
operation of the motor next to – or on – the motor
facilitates modularisation and reduces cabling costs
and EMC problems dramatically. Further benefits:
• Space-consuming motor control cabinets in long
rows of centralised panels are eliminated
• Reduced efforts for building in and wiring long
screened motor cables where special attention
on EMC terminations is required
• Heat dissipation from power electronics is moved
from the panel into the plant
• Standardised machine elements by modularisation
reduces design time and time to market
• Commissioning is easier and faster
Decentralised does not mean "control cabinet
free", but merely that their enormous size can now
be reduced thanks to innovative designs of the
components that will be placed decentralised. There
will continue to be a need for cabinets for power
distribution and for overall intelligence, and there
are areas, particularly in the process industry with
areas such as explosion protection, where centralised
cabinets continue to be the preferred solution.
Decentralised motor control is rapidly gaining
ground despite of the advantages of the
centralised control concept:
• no need for extra space around the motor
or close to the motor
• no control cable wiring into the plant
• independence of plant environment
■Direct cost savings
Motor controls for decentralised installations must be
built to meet the harsh conditions in manufacturing
areas - especially such conditions found in the food
and beverage industry, where frequent wash downs
are required. This of course increases the cost of
thedrive. Thisincreasewillbemorethansetoffby
savings in expenses for cabinets and cables.
The cable saving potential is considerable, as will
be demonstrated by the following example.
The figure illustrates an installation with motors
distributed in a number of rows with several motors in
each, as is the situation in for example parallel bottling
or baking lines in the Food and Beverage industry.
This example shows the need for power cables from
the centrally placed drives to the motors.

The drives are distributed equidistant with the distance
L between each drive and the distance h between
each row and also with a distance h from the
centralised power entry/cabinet location to the first
row. There are n rows, and N drives in each row.

Decentralised cabling
The figure illustrates how the three-phase mains
cable can be distributed with power looping from one
motor (drive) to the next. The cable saving potential
is illustrated in figure 4. Given a distance of 10m
between each motor and 20m between each line, the
potential cable savings as a function of the number of
motors and number of lines shows of the figure.
Cable saving potential in an illustrative installation
The saving potential in power cable length alone
is substantial. The figure only illustrates the
potential concerning power cables. Issues like
unscreened/screened cables and cable dimensions
also ads to the benefits of decentralised installations.
Real case
Calculations on a specific, typical bottling line with
91 pieces of 1.5 kW motors, taking the cable
dimensioning into account, showed the following
saving potential in cables and terminations:
• Cable terminations are reduced from 455 to 352
• EMC cable terminations are reduced from
364 to 182 by using motor controls with
integrated service switches
• Power cable length reduced from 6468m to
1180m, a reduction of 5288m, and it is converted
from screened cables to standard installation cables
For details consult the following chapter on
Good installation practice.
■Minimal need for additional fieldbus cables
Power cable savings are not offset by the additional
cost for expensive fieldbus cables. Fieldbus cables
will be extended in a decentralised installation, but
since fieldbus cables will be distributed in the plant
anyway to connect sensors or remote I/O-stations,
the extension will be limited. Decentralised products
from Danfoss can even be used as remote I/O
8

stations to connect sensors to the fieldbus and
reduce direct costs even more.
Fewer cabinets, cooling and cabletrays
Further savings will result from smaller cabinets, less
cabinet cooling and fewer cable trays. Motor controls
generate heat and are often mounted side by side due
to limited space, as illustrated in Figure 6. Forced
cooling is therefore required to remove the heat.
Less Commissioning
Time spend commissioning at the end-user is
significantly reduced using decentralised solutions especially when fieldbus communication is combined
with decentralised motor controls.
The concept of modularisation is known from
equipment like PC’s and cars. Modules with
well-described functionalities and interfaces are
used in these products. The same concept can
be applied to manufacturing, even though specific
physical constraints play a role.
Production equipment is often built from different basic
building blocks, each kind employed at several places
in the installation. Examples include various types of
conveyor sections and machinery like mixers, scales,
fillers, labellers, palletisers, packaging machines etc.
concept
The decentral
Decentralised brewery installation
An Australian brewery has installed a line of 96
decentralised drives from Danfoss connected by
DeviceNet. An excessive amount of time was saved
as the commissioning of the variable speed drives
was done in a few days. The brewery estimates
a saving exceeding AUD 100,000 compared to
traditional centralised installation.
■Design savings
End users want to postpone the final decision for new
equipment - and to start production as fast as possible
once a decision has been made. Payback time and
time to market must be reduced. This squeezes both
the design phase and the commissioning phase.
Modularisation can minimise lead-time. Even
manufacturers of large production equipment or
lines use modularisation to reduce lead-time. Up
to 40-50 % on the total time from design to
running production can be saved.
Centralised cabinet
In a truly modular machine, all basic elements are
self-confined and need nothing but electricity, water,
compressed air or similar to function.
Modularisation therefore requires the distribution of
intelligence to the individual sections and modules.
Sure, centralised installations can be modualarised,
but then motor controls will be physically separated
from the rest of the module.
■Ready-installed intelligence
The function of machinery and applications is typically
tested at the suppliers. Machines are built, tested,
calibrated and taken apart for transportation.
The process of rebuilding the application at the
production site is considerably simplified by shipping
it in modules with built-in motor controls, as rewiring
and testing is time consuming and calls for skilled
personnel. Using ready-installed, decentralised
MG.90.F3.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark
9
Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
installations reduces both time and risk as wiring for
motor, control and sensors are already in place and
maintained during transportation. The need for highly
skilled experts is reduced and local labour can do a
larger part of the installation. The commissioning costs
and OEM resources on-site will be reduced.
■Improved EMC
Electrical noise emitted is proportional to cable
length. The very short - or eliminated - cable
between motor control and motor in decentralised
installations therefore reduces emitted electrical noise.
In decentralised installations, the machine builder
normally mounts cables between motor controls and
motors in the machine leaving only power cables
and fieldbus cables with no EMC emission to be
installed at the production site. The risk of electrical
noise from motor controls to disturb other electrical
equipment caused by a faulty installation will diminish
and you avoid time-consuming fault finding in the
commissioning phase, where time frame is tight.
■Adapts to standard and special motors
Danfoss’ decentralised motor controls, FCD 300 and
DMS 300, are designed to control standard AC
asynchronous motors. Their flexibility allows them
also to adapt to special motor types. An example
is the AMT feature (Automatic Motor Tuning) in the
FCD 300. Combining Danfoss frequency converters
to Danfoss geared motors makes it even easier
as they fit mechanically and the motor data are
already stored in the FCD 300 memory. Combined
motor-drives are provided pre-assembled directly
from Danfoss removing the need for mechanical
fitting between motor and control.

connected to mains. Thermal losses are minimised
and overheat is prevented. At the same time, the
VVC principle ensures nominal torque at nominal
speed and eliminates bearing currents.
Slim DC-links
It takes two steps to convert the frequency to vary
the speed of an AC motor: A rectifier and an inverter.
As the rectifier itself produces a rippled DC voltage,
a capacitor is often introduced to smoothen the
voltage supplied to the inverter. A link between
rectifier and inverter with only a small capacitor to
even out the voltage is called a "slim DC link". With a
slim DC link, the inverter will not be able to provide
quite the same voltage amplitude as supplied by the
mains supply, leading to lower efficiency. A special
pulse-width-modulation can be used to compensate
the ripple from a slim DC link. In this case the output
voltage for the motor still does not reach the rated
supply voltage value leading to an over-consumption
of motor current up to 10% and this will increase
the motor heating. Low efficiency and need of an
oversized motor is the result. As torque decreases with
the square of voltage the application will be exceeding
sensible to load-changes and speed sensors might be
required. At start, only nominal torque is available.

■Minimum thermal losses
Danfoss frequency converters feature the unique
VVC switch principle to generate motor voltages.
Due to the VVC principle, power losses in the
10
Principle of a frequency converter using
a DC link coil
The Danfoss option is to add coils to the DC link
inalldrivesasshowninthefigure. Thiswaya
high DC link voltage with a very low voltage ripple
is obtained and the electric strength of the drive
with regard to line transients is improved.
Further advantages are the prolonged lifetime of the
capacitors, reduced harmonic disturbance of the net
supply and presence of 150-160% start torque.
Numerous manufacturers of frequency inverters
use slim DC links leading to bad efficiency rates
– even if users due to the activity of for instance
the CEMEP now tend to use high efficiency
motors - meeting at least EFF2.
MG.90.F3.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark
Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
Danfoss’ aim is to provide high efficiency drives that
also improve the efficiency of the motors. There
should be no need of expensive over-dimensioning
and inefficient operation.
■Environmental considerations
Drives – both centrally-mounted and distributed in the
plant - are exposed to the environment. As motor
controls handle high voltages and currents at the
same time they must be protected from dust and
humidity so that they do not fail or break down. Both
manufacturers and installers must take account of this
and Danfoss Drives have designed the decentralised
products with a deep concern in both aspects.
Decentralised motor controls must also meet
increasing demands in respect of hygiene levels in
pharmaceutical industries and in food- and beverage
production in particular, where drives are exposed to
cleaning agents for extensive periods of time, high
pressure hosing and the like. The exterior of the
decentralised motor controls must be designed in such
a way as to achieve this. Complicated heat sinks as
illustrated in the figure must be avoided as it is difficult
to clean and not resistant to common cleaning agents.
challenge by designing a range of aseptic geared
motors. These motors have no fans and only smooth
surfaces. An IP65 enclosure class is standard as is
the special CORO coating resistant to acid, alkali
and cleaning agents used in for instance food and
beverage industry. See the photo of an example
of the aseptic geared motor series.
concept
The decentral
Aseptic Danfoss geared motor
Danfoss decentralised drives are designed to meet
the requirements as shown in Figure 9. There
are no hard-to-clean places, blind plugs have no
notches or indentations and two-layer robust surface
treatment - tested to withstand commonly used
cleaning agents - protects the housing.
Non-cleaning friendly pin fin heat sink versus
the easy to clean Danfoss solution
All corners are rounded to prevent dust sticking, and
the distance between ribs allows high-pressure air
cleaning, hosing and easy cleaning with a brush.
These concerns are more or less irrelevant if not
applied to all elements and standard AC motors
are normally designed without these concerns in
mind – stressed by integrated fans and cooling
ribs both difficult to clean. Danfoss has met the
Electrical contact can cause galvanic corrosion under
wet or humid conditions. This can occur between
housing (Aluminium) and screws (stainless steel). One
possible consequence is that screws become stuck
and therefore impossible to unfasten in a maintenance
situation. Galvanic corrosion will not be found on
Danfoss decentralised products, as the housings
are fully coated and nylon washers underneath
the screws protects the coating. The complete
coating and the unique gasket design prevent pitting
corrosion, which can occur under gaskets.
Tightly enclosed equipment is susceptible to water
build-up inside the enclosure. This is especially
the case where equipment is exposed to ambient
temperature differences under wet conditions. As a
decreasing ambient temperature lowers the surface
temperature inside the enclosure, water vapour
tendstocondensate. Atthesametimepressure
inside the enclosure will drop and cause humid
air from the outside to penetrate non-hermetic
polymer gasket materials and cable glands. When
the enclosure heats up again, only the vaporised
water will escape, leaving more and more condensed
water inside the enclosure. This can lead to water
build-up inside the enclosure and eventually cause
malfunction. The phenomenon is illustrated in the
figure, with a cyclic temperature fluctuation.

■The decentralised product range
The Danfoss decentralised concept covers
motor controls ranging from motor starters/soft
starters to frequency converters.
Motor starters and soft starters (DMS 300) make
start and stop of your application smoother and
smarter than ordinary DOL (Direct On Line) operation
but do not affect operation further.
Frequency converters (FCD 300) are used
for following requirements:
• Adjustable speed
• Precise speed
• Defined speed ramps at start or/and stop
• Shorter stop times (braking)
Danfoss decentralised motor controls range from
0.18kWto3kW(connectstoupto4kWand

■Brake

■RFI filter
FCD 300 has an integral 1A RFI-filter. The integral
1A RFI filter complies with EMC standards EN
55011-1A. See the sections Cable lengths and
Cross section for further details.
■Harmonic filter
The harmonic currents do not affect power
consumption directly, but they increase the heat losses
in the installation (transformer, cables). That is why in
a system with a relatively high percentage of rectifier
load it is important to keep the harmonic currents at
a low level so as to avoid a transformer overload and
high cable temperature. For the purpose of ensuring
low harmonic currents, the FCD 300 units are fitted
with coils in their intermediate circuit as standard. This
reduces the input current I
by typically 40 %.
RMS
■Display unit
On the FCD 300 unit there are 5 indicator lamps for
voltage (ON), warning, alarm, status and bus.
In addition, a plug for connecting an LCP control
panel is available as an option. The LCP control
panel can be installed up to 3 metres away from
the frequency converter, e.g. on a front panel,
by means of a mounting kit.
Alldisplaysofdataareviaa4-linealpha-numerical

4 operating data items and 3 operation modes
continuously. During programming, all the information
required for quick, efficient parameter Setup of the
frequency converter is displayed. As a supplement
to the display, the LCP has three indicator lamps
for voltage (ON), warning (WARNING) and alarm
(ALARM). Most of the frequency converter’s parameter
Setups can be changed immediately via the LCP
control panel. See also the section entitled TheLCP control unit in the Design Guide.

■Information and communication
Growth in the world of automation is increasingly
based on information technology. Having reformed
hierarchies, structures and flows in the entire office
world, use of information technology opens for a
similar restructuring of industrial sectors ranging
from process and manufacturing industries to
logistics and building automation.
Devices capability of communication and continuous
transparent channels for information are indispensable
in automation concepts of the future.
IT is an evident means for optimisation of system
processes, leading to improved exploitation of
energy, materials and investment.
Industrial communication systems are a key
function in this respect.
Cell level
Programmable controllers such as PLC and IPC
communicate at cell level. Large data packets
and numerous powerful communication functions
provide information flow. Smooth integration into
company-wide communication systems, such
as Intranet and Internet via TCP/IP and Ethernet
are important requirements.
Field level
Distributed peripherals such as I/O modules, measuring
transducers, drive units, valves and operator terminals
communicate with the automation systems via an
efficient, real-time communication system at field
level. Transmission of process data is performed in
cycles, while alarms, parameters and diagnostic data
have to be transmitted acyclically if necessary.
Sensor/actuator level
Binary signals from sensors and actuators are
transmitted purely cyclically via bus communication.
■Profibus
Profibus is a vendor-independent, open field bus
standard for use in a wide range of applications
in manufacturing and process automation.
Vendor-independence and openness are ensured
by the international standards EN 50170, EN
50254 and IEC 61158.
Profibus communicates between devices from different
manufacturers without specific interface adjustments
and can be used for both high-speed time critical
applications and complex communication tasks.
Due to ongoing technical developments, Profibus
is widely acknowledged as the leading industrial
communication system of the future.
More than 2,000 products from approximately
250 Profibus vendors are available today. More
than 6.5 million devices representing a huge
variety of products are installed and successfully
used in more than 500,000 applications in
manufacturing and process automation.
Danfoss Drives solution offers a cost
optimal Profibus solution

• Danfoss frequency converters support
Profibus DP V1
Profibus DP V1 for two different purposes
Fieldbus systems are used for two very different
purposes with two very different sets of essentials in
modern automation applications. One is transfer of
signals referring to the process itself, the other service,
commissioning and set-up communication.
Transfer of control and status signals between sensors
and actuators is time critical and must be processed
reliably and in real time. This is accomplished by
cyclic communication where each node in the network
is polled within each cycle, and each cycle has a
pre-defined time. It is necessary to pre-define and
minimise the extent of data in each telegram to make
this work reliably and as fast as possible.
This consideration contradicts the second use of
the fieldbus, namely as a timesaving set-up and
diagnostics bus. Set-up and diagnostics are not
time-critical, not continuously used, and require a
larger amount of data in each telegram. Furthermore,
you would tend to control this information from a
PC or an interface device (HMI) - and not from
the master (typically a PLC) that controls the
cyclic communication. Standard Profibus does not
support networks with several masters so set-up and
diagnostics information must be contained in the
standard telegram handled by the master, making
for very long and time consuming telegrams with
room for information only sporadically used.
Profibus DP V1 now combines the two sets of
requirements from above in a single fieldbus system,
30
MG.90.F3.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark
Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
allowing a second master to use the entire network
in a specified time slot in each cycle. Profibus
DP V1 thus operates with two classes of masters.
Masterclass 1 (typically a PLC) performs the cyclic
communication. Masterclass 2, typically an interface
device (HMI or PC), transfers non-time critical
information through non-cyclic communication.
Masterclass 2 masters can be connected anywhere
on the Profibus net and the communication channel
can be opened and closed anytime without disturbing
the cyclic communication. You can have non-cyclic
communication even without cyclic communication to
for instance transfer complete programs or set-ups.
Profibus DP V1 is fully compatible with prior
versions of Profibus DP V0. Profibus DP V0 and
Profibus DP V1 nodes can be combined in the
same network, although the master must support
Masterclass 2 communication.
User benefits:
• Connection to the motor controls is possible
from every part of the network
• Existing network can be used for commissioning,
set-up and diagnostic without disturbing of
the cyclic communication
• Both DP V1 and DP V0-nodes can be
connected in the same network
• No need for extensive telegrams in the PLC
or IPC. A second master who supports DP
V1 can handle set-up tasks
NB!:
DP V1 is only possible for Master
communication-cards which support
Masterclass 2 specification.
■DeviceNet
DeviceNet is a communications link that connects
industrial devices to a network. It is based on
the broadcast-oriented, communications protocol
CAN (Controller Area Network).
The CAN protocol was originally developed for the
European automotive market to be used in exchange
for expensive wire harnesses in automobiles. As
a result, the CAN protocol offers fast response
and high reliability for demanding applications
like ABS brakes and air bags.
• Acyclic communication – "explicit messaging"
• Unconnected Messages Manager (UCMM)
messages are supported
• Integrated solution
• Electronic Data sheet (EDS)-files secures
easy configuring
• Provides fieldbus voltage supply
• Fulfilment of DeviceNet AC/DC motor profile
• Protocol defined in accordance with the Open
DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA)
■AS-interface
AS-interface (AS-i) is a cost-efficient alternative
to conventional cabling at the lowest level of the
automation hierarchy. The network can link into a
higher-level fieldbus like Profibus for low-cost remote
I/O. Known by its yellow cable; AS-I has grown an
"open" technology supported by more than 100
vendors worldwide. Enhancements through time have
broadened its field of applications and AS-interface is
today proven in hundreds of thousands of products
and applications spanning the automation spectrum.
■InterBus
InterBus is an open, non-proprietary standard. It
complies with the EN 50254 standard. Using
decentralised motor controls with integrated
fieldbus communication allows you to connect
to an InterBus network.
• Easy connection
• Compliance with the international standard
EN 50254
• I/O based transmission principle, high
protocol efficiency
• Unified planning tool (e.g. CMD software)
• InterBus option is certified by the
Frauenhofer Institute
The Gateway IB-S/DP for Danfoss frequency
converters allows for up to 14 frequency converters of
different series on the same InterBus network.
■FC Protocol
An RS-485 interface is standard on all Danfoss
frequency converters allowing for up to 126 units in
one network. The FC protocol has a very simple
design described in Serial Communication.For
applications where data transmission speed is of less
importance, the RS 485 interface provides a good
alternative to the faster fieldbus solution.

• Cyclic I/O communication
MG.90.F3.02 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark
The FC protocol can also be used as a service
bus for transfer of status information and parameter
setup. In this case it is combined with normal time
critical I/0 control via digital inputs.

■Good Installation Pr actice
■Flexible installation options
A major benefit of Danfoss’ decentralised concept
is saving installation cost partly due to the clever
two-part design of the DMS 300/FCD 300.
All electrical installation is done inside the installation
box prior to mounting the electronic part. Subsequently
the electronic part is plugged into the installation box,
fixed, and the drive is ready for operation.
Power line looping
The FCD 300 and DMS 300 series facilitates internal
2
power line looping. Terminals for 4 mm
power cables
inside the enclosure allows connection of up to 10+
units. FCD 300 and DMS 300 can be mixed along
the line. Average load must not exceed 25 A.
24 V control back up
External 24 V (20-30 V) DC can be connected
in the EX and EB versions for back-up of control
circuits. This way communication and programming
possibility are maintained even during power down.
The terminals are dimensioned for up to 2.5 mm
2
and are doubled for looping (FCD 300).
DMS 300 always needs 24 V external supply.
The T63 and T73 installation boxes have additional
2
loopingterminalsfor2X24Vwith4mm
.
Connected sensors can be supplied separately
from the control back up supply.

■Guidelines for selection of cables and fuses in a
powerline installation with FCD and DMS products
It is assumed that the installation follows the Low
Voltage Directive as stated in HD 384 and IEC 60364.
This section can’tbeusedinexplosiveareasand
where fire hazard exists. In general cable dimension
has to follow IEC 60364-5-523. If the installation is
part of a machinery EN 60204-1 has to be followed.
Cables as mentioned under point 1, 2 and 3 in the
figure has to be protected by an enclosure or conduit.
The following section numbers refer to the figure.
1. The cable shall only be able to carry the maximum
continuous current of the friction brake. By
ground fault non-renewable protective circuit in
the FCD will interrupt the flow of current.
2. If the IP 65 brake resistors recommended by
Danfoss are used the cable will only be exposed
to the continuous current of the brake resistor.
If the brake resistor becomes overheated it will
disconnect itself. If another type or make of
brake resistor, without any power limitation device,
is used, the maximum power must be equal
to the rated power of the motor.
The current in Amps would be: I = 0.77/motor
power, with motor power inserted in kW; [A=V/W].
The rated motor current comes fairly close to the
current in the cable to the brake resistor.
3. The cables to encoders and thermistors are on
PELV potential. The currents are in mA range
and limited by the FCD or DMS. In order not
to violate the PELV protection of the control
terminals of FCD the thermistor has to have
reinforced insulation according to the PELV
demands. For EMI purposes the cables must
have their own electrical shielding and if possible
be kept separated from power cables.
4. The cable is protected by the current limit function
in the FCD. By ground faults and short circuit of
low impedance the FCD will interrupt the current.
5. The current is limited by the DMS*, and ground and
short circuit protected by the circuit breaker (CB).
6. The current is limited by the downstream FCD
and DMS*. The CB makes the ground and short
circuit protection. The impedance in the leads has
to be so low that the CB disconnects in 5 s by
low impedance ground faults. (TN supply).
7. If installation is on a machine (EN 60204-1) and
the distance between the T connection and
the FCD or DMS* is less than 3 m, the cable
can be downsized to the current capacity that
is needed for the down stream FCD.
8. The trip current for the CB upstream must not
be higher than the highest maximal prefuses for
the smallest FCD or DMS downstream.
See section Fuses for DMS coordination class.
For EMC purposes cable # 2, 3 & 4 has to be
shielded or placed in metal conduits.

■Service
Breakdown of Danfoss drives or geared motors only
occur under exceptional circumstances. As downtime
represents lack of production, failures must be located
and defective components replaced quickly.
Danfoss’ decentralised products place great
emphasis on addressing these issues. This chapter
also describes measures taken to make Danfoss
decentralised products superior in a service situation.
For detailed information on specific service issues
please consult relevant literature.
Centralised frequency converters from Danfoss have
pluggable connections to facilitate service using fast
and faultless replacement. The same concept is used
and improved for the decentralised drives.
Plug-and-drive
All the advanced and reliable electronics needed
to ensure your motors act smoothly, responsively
and economically at each command are hidden
inside the box lid and plug into connectors when
mounted onto the bottom section. The bottom section
contains maintenance-free Cage Clamp connectors
and looping facilities for power and fieldbus cables
well protected against dust, hosing and cleaning
agents. Once installed, commissioning and upgrading
can be performed in no time simply by plugging in
another control lid. See the illustration.
You only need standard installation material like cable
glands, cables, etc., to commission and service a
Danfoss decentralised drive. Special equipment like
hybrid cables not likely to be held in stock by a standard
supplier of electric installation components is needed.
This provides high flexibility and maximum uptime.
Product concept
Since the installation box only contains plugs,
connectors and low density pcb’s, it is not likely
to fail. In case of a failure in the electronic part,
just remove the six screws, unplug the electronic
part and plug in a new one.

Indicates a general warning
Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
■Safety regulations
1. The DMS must be disconnected from the mains
if repair work is to be carried out.
2. The [COASTING STOP INVERSE] command
applied to the DMS does not disconnect the
equipment from the mains and thus is not
to be used as a safety switch.
It is the responsibility of the user or the
person installing the DMS to provide proper
grounding and branch circuit protection in
accordance with national and local regulations.
■Warning against unintended start
1. The motor can be brought to a stop by means
of digital commands, bus commands or a local
stop, while the DMS is connected to the mains. If
personal safety considerations make it necessary
to ensure that no unintended start occurs,
stop functions are not sufficient .
2. A motor that has been stopped may start if faults
occur in the electronics of the DMS.
these
Indicates a high voltage warning
■General warning
The DMS contains dangerous voltages
when connected to line voltage. Only a
competent electrician should carry out
the electrical installation. Improper installation of the
motor or the DMS may cause equipment failure,
serious injury or death. Follow this manual as well as
national and local rules and safety regulations.
■Avoiding DMS damage
Please read and follow all instructions in this manual.
Electrostatic Precaution; Electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Many electronic
components are sensitive to static
electricity. Voltages so low that they cannot be
felt, seen or heard, can reduce the life, affect
performance, or completely destroy sensitive
electronic components. When performing service,
proper ESD equipment should be used to prevent
possible damage from occurring.

■Ventilation
DMS cooling is by means of air circulation.
Consequently, the air needs to be able to move
freely above and below the soft starter.
If installing the DMS in a switchboard or other

Connect the Motor terminals to the DMS output
terminals 2/T1, 4/T2 & 6/T3. Take care of the phase
sequence to have the correct direction of rotation.
The terminals in the Extended versions of the
DMS allow two cables to connect two motors
in parallel to one DMS.

If a DMS is used with static power factor
correction it must be connected to the
supply side of the DMS.
Connecting power factor correction

Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
Use cables complying with local regulations.
■Motor thermistors
If the motor is fitted with thermistors these may be
connected directly to the DMS. To connect the
thermistors, first remove the shorting link, and then
connect the thermistors between terminals 31A & 31B.
Use double-isolated thermistors to
retain PELV.
■Serial communication
The DMS can be equipped with either AS-i or
Profibus communication capabilities.
The AS-i and Profibus interfaces are optional.
The AS-i Fieldbus is connected at terminals 125 & 126.
The details of the Profibus connectivity are given
at the end of the manual.
NB!:
Communications and control cabling should
not be located within 300mm of power
cabling. Where this cannot be avoided
consideration should be given to providing magnetic
shielding to reduce induced common mode voltages,
for example, by laying the communication and
control cables in a separate conduit.
■Galvanic isolation (PELV)
All control terminals, and terminals for serial
communication are safely isolated from
the mains potential, i.e. they comply with
the PELV requirements of EN/ IEC 60947-1. PELV
isolation of the control card is guaranteed provided
there is max. 300 VAC between phase and earth.
■Earthing
Ensure that the DMS unit is earthed
properly. Use the chassis earth studs
provided for the purpose (4 of size M4).
For type T73 units, an external earth plug
(size M8) is provided to facilitate earthing.
To retain the IP rating of DMS, remember
to close all the unutilized cable entries
using the gland plugs (bungs) provided
loose with the DMS unit. In units with external plugs,
all plugs must be correctly mounted.
■High voltage warning
The voltage of the DMS is dangerous
whenever the equipment is connected to
the mains. Ensure the DMS is correctly
connected and that all safety measures have been
taken before switching on the supply.

■Trip Class selection:
This setting is applicable only for the Extended
versions of DMS.
The DMS motor overload protection is an advanced
motor thermal model. Motor temperature is
continuously calculated by the microprocessor.
This uses a sophisticated mathematical model
to accurately reflect motor heat generation and
dissipation during all stages of operation, e.g.
Starting, Running, Stopping & Stopped.
Because it operates continuously, the motor thermal
model eliminates the need for protection systems such
as Excess Start Time, Limited Starts per hour etc.
Calibrate the DMS motor thermal model for theTrip
Class of the connected motor. The Motor Trip
Class is defined as the length of time the motor
can sustain Locked Rotor Current. The motor
Trip Class can be found from the motor curves
or data sheet. For example, if a given motor can

Trip Class 10 (or lower) in the DMS.
If in doubt, use "Trip Class 5", which is the Factory
Default setting for this parameter. With this setting,
the DMS will trip & protect the motor if the Locked
Rotor current sustains for more than 5 secs.
Use the DIP switches A5-A6 to choose the Trip Class.

■Operation
Once the DMS has been installed, wired and
programmed according to the instructions,
it can be operated.
Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
■Operation with AS-i Interface
The AS-i switch profile S-7.E is used, having
the following inputs and outputs:
■Powering-up the DMS
Power may now be applied to the DMS unit.
The "On" LED should glow when the 24VCD
Control Supply is turned On.
■Starting the motor:
Connect +24VDC to the "Reset/ Coasting
stop inverse input (27).
To start the motor in the Forward direction,
use the Start CW Input (18). To initiate a stop,
open the Start CW Input.
To start the motor in the Reverse direction, use the
Start CCW Input (19).This feature is optional. To
initiate a stop, open the Start CCW Input.
If the direction of rotation is wrong, change any
two of mains or motor phases.
Disconnecting the +24VDC to the "Reset/ Coasting
stop inverse input (27) will disable the DMS and
cause the motor to coast to stop.
NB!:
If both Start CW & Start CCW inputs are
active together, the motor will stop.
• Start CW (DO)
• Start CCW (D1)
• Brake Control (D2)
• Reset (D3)
• Ready output(D0)
• Run Output (D1)
• Fault Output (D2)

Operation details, DMS
■Brake Release
(For variants with Braking function only variants SB, EB, ER).
When a Start is initiated, the DMS automatically
generates a brake release command. This will release
the brakes before the motor starts running.
The motor brake can also be released without
starting the motor by connecting +24VDC to
the Brake Release input (124).
NB!:
Mains supply to the DMS is required
for the operation of Brake Release.
The Electromechanical brake supply is
not short-circuit protected.

■High voltage warning
The voltage of the frequency converter
is dangerous whenever the converter
is connected to mains. Incorrect fitting
of the motor or frequency converter may cause
damage to the equipment, serious injury or death.
Consequently, it is essential to comply with the
instructions in this manual as well as local and
national rules and safety regulations.
■These rules concern your safety
1. The frequency converter must be disconnected from
the mains if repair work is to be carried out. Check
that the mains supply has been disconnected
and that the prescribed time has passed before
removing the inverter part from the installation.
2. The [STOP/RESET] key on the optional control
panel does not disconnect the equipment from
mains and is thus not to be used as a safety switch.
3. The unit must be properly connected to the
earth, the user must be protected against the
supply voltage and the motor must be protected
against overloading pursuant to prevailing
national and local regulations.
4. The earth leakage currents are higher than 3.5 mA.
5. Protection against motor overload is not included
in the factory setting. If this function is required,
set parameter 128 Motor thermal protection to
data value ETR trip or data value ETR warning.For
the North American market: The ETR functions
provide overload protection of the motor, class
20, in accordance with NEC.
■Warning against unintended start
1. The motor can be brought to a stop by
means of digital commands, bus commands,
references or a local stop, while the frequency
converter is connected to mains. If personal
safety considerations make it necessary to
ensure that no unintended start occurs, these
stop functions are not sufficient.
2. While parameters are being changed, the
motor may start. Consequently, the stop
key [STOP/RESET] on the optional control
panel must always be activated, following
which data can be modified.
3. A motor that has been stopped may start if faults
occur in the electronics of the frequency converter,
or if a temporary overload or a fault in the supply
mains or the motor connection ceases.
Warning:
It can be extremely dangerous to touch the electrical parts
even when the AC line supply has been disconnected.
For FCD 300: wait at least 4 minutes.

■Technology
■Control principle
A frequency converter rectifies AC voltage from
the mains supply into DC voltage, following which
it changes this voltage to an AC voltage with
variable amplitude and frequency.
The motor thus receives a variable voltage and
frequency, which enables infinitely variable speed
control of three-phase, standard AC motors.

The FCD 300 Adjustable speed drive is designed
for decentral mounting, e.g. in the food and
beverage industry, in the automotive industry, or
for other material handling applications.
With the FCD 300 it is possible to utilize the cost saving
potential by placing the power electronics decentrally,
and thus make the central panels obsolete saving
cost, space and effort for installation and wiring.
The unit is flexible in its mounting options for as
well stand alone mounting and motor mounting. It
is also possible to have the unit pre-mounted on
a Danfoss Bauer geared motor (3 in one solution).
The basic design with a plugable electronic part and
a flexible and "spacious" wiring box is extremely
servicefriendly and easy to change electronics
without the need for unwiring.
The FCD 300 is a part of the VLT frequency converter
family, which means similar funcionality, programming,
and operating as the other family members.

Here is the computer that controls the inverter
which generates the pulse pattern by which
the DC voltage is converted into variable AC
voltage with a variable frequency.
■FCD 300 control principle
A frequency converter is an electronic unit which is able
to infinitely variably control the rpm of an AC motor.
The frequency converter governs the motor speed
by converting the regular voltage and frequency from
mains, e.g. 400 V / 50 Hz, into variable magnitudes.
Today the frequency converter controlled AC motor is
a natural part of all types of automated plants.
The FCD 300 Series has an inverter control system
called VVC (Voltage Vector Control). VVC controls
an induction motor by energizing with a variable
frequency and a voltage suitable for it. If the motor
load changes, so does its energizing and speed. That
is why the motor current is measured on an ongoing
basis, and a motor model is used to calculate the
actual voltage requirement and slip of the motor.
■Programmable inputs and outputs in four Setups
In the FCD 300 Series it is possible to program the
different control inputs and signal outputs and to select
four different user-defined Setups for most parameters.
It is easy for the user to program the required functions
on the control panel or via serial communication.

■Mains protection
The FCD 300 Series is protected against the transients
that may occur on the mains, such as coupling with
a phase compensation system or transients from
fuses blown or when lightening strikes.
Rated motor voltage and full torque can be maintained
down to approx. 10% undervoltage in the mains supply.
As all 400 V units in the FCD 300 Series have
intermediate circuit coils, there is only a low amount
of harmonic mains supply interference. This gives
a good power factor (lower peak current), which
reduces the load on the mains installation.
■Frequency converter p rotection
The current measurement in the intermediate
circuit constitutes perfect protection of the FCD
300 Series in case there is a short-circuit or an
earth fault on the motor connection.
Constant monitoring of the intermediate circuit
current allows switching on the motor output,
e.g. by means of a contactor.
Efficient monitoring of the mains supply means that
theunitwillstopinthecaseofaphasedrop-out(if
the load exceeds approx. 50%). In this way, the
inverter and the capacitors in the intermediate circuit
are not overloaded, which would dramatically reduce
the service life of the frequency converter.
The FCD 300 Series offers temperature protection
as standard. If there is a thermal overload, this
function cuts out the inverter.
at low frequencies because of reduced fan speed
(motors with internal fan). This function cannot protect
the individual motors when motors are connected in
parallel. Thermal motor protection can be compared
to a protective motor switch, CTI.
To give the motor maximum protection against
overheating when it is covered or blocked, or if the fan
should fail, you can install a thermistor and connect it
to the frequency converter’s thermistor input (Digital
input), see parameter 128 Thermal motor protection.
NB!:
This function cannot protect the individual
motors in the case of motors linked in parallel.

Introduction to FCD
■Reliable galvanic isolation
In the FCD 300 all digital inputs/outputs, analogue
inputs/outputs and the terminals for serial
communication are supplied from or in connection
with circuits that comply with PELV requirements.
PELV is also complied with in relation to relay
terminals at max. 250 V, so that they can be
connected to the mains potential.
See section Galvanic Isolation (PELV) for further details.
■Advanced motor protection
The FCD 300 Series has integral electronic
motor protection.
The frequency converter calculates the motor
temperature on the basis of current, frequency and time.
As opposed to traditional, bimetallic protection,
electronic protection takes account of reduced cooling

■CE labelling
What is CE labelling?
The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical
obstacles to trade within EFTA and the EU. The EU
has introduced the CE label as a simple way of
showing whether a product complies with the relevant
EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the
specifications or quality of the product. Frequency
converters are regulated by three EU directives:
The machinery directive (98/37/EEC)
All machines with critical moving parts are covered
by the machinery directive, which came into force
on 1 January 1995. Since a frequency converter is
largely electrical, it does not fall under the machinery
directive. However, if a frequency converter is supplied
for use in a machine, we provide information on safety
aspects relating to the frequency converter. We do
this by means of a manufacturer’sdeclaration.
The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
Frequency converters must be CE labelled in
accordance with the low-voltage directive, which
came into force on 1 January 1997. The directive
applies to all electrical equipment and appliances
used in the 50 - 1000 Volt AC and the 75 1500 Volt DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CE labels
in accordance with the directive and issues a
declaration of conformity upon request.
The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The
presence of electromagnetic compatibility means
that the mutual interference between different
components/appliances is so small that the functioning
of the appliances is not affected.
The EMC directive came into force on 1 January 1996.
Danfoss CE labels in accordance with the directive and
issues a declaration of conformity upon request. In
order that EMC-correct installation can be carried out,
this manual gives detailed instructions for installation.
In addition, we specify the standards which our
different products comply with. We offer the filters that
can be seen from the specifications and provide other
types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.
In the great majority of cases, the frequency converter
is used by professionals of the trade as a complex
component forming part of a larger appliance, system
or installation. It must be noted that the responsibility
for the final EMC properties of the appliance, system
or installation rests with the installer.
Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
■ATEX
What is ATEX?
Directive 94/9/EC is valid in the European Union (EU)
with the purpose of creating unified standards for
equipment and protective systems intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres. The directive was
valid from July 2003, and all equipment installed and
built into potentially explosive areas in EU after this date,
must comply with this directive. The directive and its
derivatives are often referred to as the ATEX-directive.
ATEX is an acronym for ATmosphere Explosible.
It has been found practical to classify hazardous
areas into zones according to the likelihood of an
explosivegas/dustatmospherebeingpresent(seeIEC
79-10). Such classification allows appropriate types
of protection to be specified for each zone.
Motors supplied at variable frequency and voltage
When electrical motors are to be installed in areas
where dangerous concentrations and quantities of
flammable gases, vapours, mists, ignitable fibres or
dusts may be present in the atmosphere, protective
measures are applied to reduce the likelihood of
explosion due to ignition by arcs, sparks or hot
surfaces, produced either in normal operation or
under specified fault conditions.
Motors supplied at varying frequency and
voltage require either:
• Means (or equipment) for direct temperature control
by embedded temperature sensors specified in the
motor documentation or other effective measures
for limiting the surface temperature of the motor
housing. The action of the protective device
shall be to cause the motor to be disconnected.
The motor and frequency converter combination
does not need to be tested together, or
• The motor must have been type-tested for this duty
as a unit in association with the frequency converter
specified in the descriptive documents according to
IEC 79-0 and with the protective device provided.
FCD 300 and ATEX
The following variants of the FCD 300 can be installed

Decentral Solutions - Design Guide
Group II, Category 3, and Zone 22 areas
are characterised by:
• Surface installations
• Explosive atmosphere is unlikely to occur or,
if it does, is likely to only be of short duration
and not in normal duty
• The explosive media is dust
ThemaximumsurfacetemperatureoftheFCD
300 during worst-case normal duty is limited to
135°C. This temperature must be lower than the
ignition temperature of the present dust.
The installer must define the zone, category and
dust ignition temperature of the environment
where the FCD 300 is installed.
ATEX correct installation
The following issues must be taken into account when
installing the FCD 300 in ATEX zone 22 environments:
• Motor must be designed, tested and certified by the
motor manufacturer for variable speed application
• Motor must be designed for Zone 22 operation.
I.e. with type of protection "tD" acc. to
EN61241-0 and -1 or EN50281-1-1.
• Motor must be provided with thermistor protection.
The thermistor protection must either be connected
to an external thermistor relay, with EC Type
Examination Certificate or compatible with
the FCD 300 thermistor input.
If the FCD 300 thermistor protection is used,
the thermistor must be wired to terminals
31a and 31b, and thermistor trip activated by
programming parameter 128 to thermistor trip
[2]. See parameter 128 for further details.
• Cable entries must be chosen for the enclosure
protection to be maintained. It must also be
ensured that the cable entries comply with the
requirements for clamping force and mechanical
strengths as described in EN 50014:2000.
• The FCD must be installed with appropriate earth
connecting according to local/national regulations.
• The installation, inspection and maintenance of
electrical apparatus for use in combustible dusts,
must only be carried out by personnel that is
trained and familiar with the concept of protection.

■Mechanical installation
Please pay attention to the requirements
that apply to integration and remote
mounting. These must be complied
with to avoid serious injury or damage, especially
when installing large units.
The FCD 300 consists of two parts: The installation
part and the electronics part.
The two parts must be separated, and the installation
part is to be mounted first. After wiring, the electronics
is to be fixed to the installation part by the attached
6 screws. For compressing the gasket the screws
must be tightened with 2-2.4 Nm, tighten both centre
screws first, thereafter the 4 corner srews "cross over".
NB!:
Do not switch on the mains before the
6 screws are tightened.
The FCD 300 can be applied as following:
- Stand alone mounted close to the motor
- Motor mounted
or might be delivered pre mounted on a Danfoss
Bauer (geared) motor. Please contact the Danfoss
Bauer sales organisation for further information.
The frequency converter is cooled by means of air
circulation. For the unit to be able to release its
cooling air, the minimum free distance above and

otor mounting
M
The installation box should be mounted on the
surface of the motor frame, typically instead of the
motor terminal box. The motor/geared motor may
be mounted with the shaft vertically or horizontally.
The unit mustnot be mounted upside down (the heat
sink pointing down). The cooling of the electronics is
independent on the motor cooling fan. For mounting
directly on Danfoss Bauer geared motors no adaption
plate is necessary. For motor mounting (non Danfoss
Bauer motors), an adaptor plate should usually be
applied. For that purpose a neutral plate incl gasket
and screws for attaching to the installation box is
available. The appropriate drillings and gasket for the
motor housing are applied locally. Please make sure,
that the mechanical strength of the mounting screws
and the threads are sufficient for the application. The
specified resistance against mechanical vibrations
does not cover the mounting onto a non Danfoss
Bauer motor, as the stability of the motor frame
and threads are outside Danfoss Drive’s control and
responsibility and the same applies to the enclosure
class. Please be aware, that the frequency converter
may not be used to lift the motor/geared motor.

■General information about electrical installation
■High voltage warning
The voltage of the frequency converter
is dangerous whenever the equipment is
connected to mains. Incorrect installation
of the motor or frequency converter may cause
damage to the equipment, serious injury or death.
Comply with the instructions in this manual, as well as
national and local rules and safety regulations.
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after
the equipment has been disconnected from mains:
Wait at least 4 minutes for current dissipate.
NB!:
It is the responsibility of the user or installer
to ensure correct earthing and protection in
accordance with national and local standards.
■Cables
The control cable and the mains cable should be
installed separately from motor cables to prevent
noisetransfer. Asaruleadistanceof20cmis
sufficient, but it is recommended that the distance
is as great as possible, particularly when cables are
installed in parallel over large distances.
For sensitive signal cables such as telephone or data
cables the greatest possible distance is recommended.
Please note that the required distance depends on
installation and the sensitivity of the signal cables, and
that for this reason exact values cannot be given.
■Extra p rotection
ELCB relays, multiple protective earthing or earthing
can be used as extra protection, provided that local
safety regulations are complied with. In the case of an
earth fault, a DC content may develop in the faulty
current. Never use an RCD (ELCB relay), type A, as
it is not suitable for DC faulty currents. If ELCB relays
are used, local regulations must be complied with.
If ELCB relays are used, they must be:
- Suitable for protecting equipment with a DC content
in the faulty current (3-phase bridge rectifier)
- Suitable for a pulse-shaped, brief discharge
on power-up
- Suitable for a high leakage current.
See also RCD Application Note MN.90.GX.02.
■High voltage test
A high voltage test can be performed by
short-circuitingterminalsU,V,W,L1,L2andL3,
and applying max. 2160 V DC in 1 sec. between
this short-circuit and PE-terminal.
■Electronics purchased without installation box
If the electronic part is purchased without the
Danfoss installation part, the earth connection
the
must be suitable for high leakage current. Use
of original Danfoss installation box or installation
kit 175N2207 is recommended.
When being placed in cable trays, sensitive cables
may not be placed in the same cable tray as t
motor cable. If signal cables run across power
cables, this is done at an angle of 90 degrees.
Remember that all noise-filled inlet
to a cabinet must be screened/armoured.
See also EMC-compliant electrical installation.
Cable glands
It must be assured that appropriat
glands needed for the environment are chosen
and carefully mounted.
■Screened/armoured cables
The screen must have low HF impe
achieved by a braided screen of copper, aluminium or
iron. Screen reinforcement intended for mechanical
protection, for example, is

NB!:
Do not plug/unplug the electronic part with

■Protective ear th
The earth connection serves several purposes.
• Safety earth (Protective earth, PE)
The equipment must be properly earthed according
to local regulation. This equipment has a leakage
current > 3.5 mA AC. It must be connected to
an earth connection complying with the local
rules for high leakage current equipment.
Typically, this implies that the PE conductors
must be mechanically enhanced (minimum cross
2
section 10 mm
) or duplicated
• Noise "clamping" (high frequencies)
Stable communication between units call for
screening of the communication cables (1).
Cables must be properly attached to screen
clamps provided for that purpose.
• Equalisation of voltage potential (low frequencies)
To reduce alignment currents in the screen
of the communication cable, always apply a
short earthing cable between units that are
connected to the same communication cable (2)
or connect to an earthed frame (3).
• Potential equalization: All metal parts, where the
motors are fastened, must be potential equalized
PE connections, voltage equalising cables and the
screen of the communication cable should be
connected to the same potential (4).
Keep the conductor as short as possible and use
the greatest possible surface area.
The numbering refers to the figure.
Proper installation earthing
■EMC-correct elec
trical installation
General points to be observed to ensure
EMC-correct electrical installation.
- Use only screened/armoured motor cables and
screened/armou
red control cables.
- Connect the screen to earth at both ends.
64
- Avoid installati
on with twisted screen ends (pigtails),
since this ruins the screening effect at high
frequencies. Use cable clamps instead.

■Use of EMC compliant cables
In order to comply with requirements for EMC immunity
of the control cables and EMC emissions from the
motor cables screened/armoured cables must be used.
The ability of a cable to reduce the amount of ingoing
and outgoing radiation of electric noise depends
on the transfer impedance (Z
). The screen of a
T
cable is normally designed to reduce the transfer of
electric noise, and a screen with a lower Z

- the contact resistance between the individual
screen conductors.
- Screen coverage, i.e. the physical area of the
cable covered by the screen. Is often stated as a
percentage and should be no less than 85%.
- The screen type, i.e. braided or twisted pattern. A
braided pattern or closed pipe is recommended.

■Earthing of screened/armoured control cables
In general control cables must be screened/armoured,
and the screen must be connected to the unit’s metal
cabinet with a cable clamp at each end.
The drawing below shows the correct way to perform
the earthing, and what to do when in doubt.
1. Correct earthing
Control cables and cables for serial
communication must be attached with cable
clamps at both ends to ensure maximum
possible electrical contact.
2. Incorrect earthing
Do not use twisted screen ends that
are plaited together (pigtails), as these increase
screen impedance at higher frequencies.
3. Protection with respect to earth
potential between PLC and VLT
If the earth potential between the VLT
frequency converter and the PLC (etc.) is different,
electric noise may occur that will disturb the whole
system. This problem can be solved by fitting an
equalising cable, to be placed next to the control
cable. Minimum cable cross-section: 16 mm
4. In the event of a 50/60 Hz earth loop
If very long control cables are used, 50/60 Hz
earth loops can arise, and these can interfere
with the whole system. This problem is resolved
by attaching one end of the screen to the earth
via a 100 nF capacitor (short pin length).

■Parallel connection of motors
The frequency converter is able to control several
motors connected in parallel. If the motors are
to have different rpm values, use motors with
different rated rpm values. Motor rpm is changed
simultaneously, which means that the ratio between
the rated rpm values is maintained across the range.
The total current consumption of the motors is
not to exceed the maximum rated output current
for the frequency converter.

Problems may arise at the start and at low rpm
values if the motor sizes are widely different. This
is because the small motors’ relatively high ohmic
resistance in the stator calls for a higher voltage

converter cannot be used as motor protection for
the individual motor. For this reason further motor
protection must be used, e.g. thermistors in each
motor (or an individual thermal relay).
NB!:
Parameter 107 Automatic motor tuning, AMT
cannot be used when motors are connected

■Motor cables
See Technical data for correct dimensioning of motor
cable cross-section and length. Always comply with
national and local regulations on cable cross-section.
NB!:
If an unscreened/unarmoured cable is used,
some EMC requirements are not complied with,
see EMC test results in the Design Guide.
If the EMC specifications regarding emission are
to be complied with, the motor cable must be
screened/armoured, unless otherwise stated for the
RFI filter in question. It is important to keep the motor
cable as short as possible so as to reduce the noise
level and leakage currents to a minimum. The motor
cable screen must be connected to the metal cabinet
of the frequency converter and to the metal cabinet of
the motor. The screen connections are to be made
with the biggest possible surface area (cable clamp).
This is enabled by different installation devices in
different frequency converters. Mounting with twisted
screen ends (pigtails) is to be avoided, since these
spoil the screening effect at high frequencies. If it
is necessary to break the screen to install a motor
isolator or motor relay, the screen must be continued
at the lowest possible HF impedance.

In lifting/lowering applications you need to be able
to control an electromagnetic brake. The brake
is controlled using the special mechanical brake
control/supply terminals 122/123.
When the output frequency exceeds the brake cut
out value set in par. 138, the brake is released if the
motor current exceeds the preset value in parameter
140. When stopping the brake is engaged when
the output frequency is less than the brake engaging
frequency, which is set in par. 139.
If the frequency converter is at alarm status
or in an overvoltage situation the mechanical
brake is cut in immediately.
If not using the special mechanical brake control/supply
terminals (122-123), select Mechanical brake control
in parameter 323 or 341 for applications with
an electromagnetic brake.
A relay output or digital output (terminal 46)
can be used. See Connection of mechanicalbrake for further details.

■Electrical installation, control cables
Control cables must be screened/armoured. The
screen must be connected to the frequency converter
chassis by means of a clamp. Normally, the screen
must also be connected to the chassis of the
controlling unit (use the instructions for the unit in
question). In connection with very long control cables
and analogue signals, in rare cases depending on
the installation, 50/60 Hz earth loops may occur
because of noise transmitted from mains supply
cables. In this connection, it may be necessary
to break the screen and possibly insert a 100 nF
capacitor between the screen and the chassis.

■Parameter Setup
A frequency converter’s comprehensive work area can
be accessed via a large number of parameters, making
it possible to adapt its functionality for a specific
application. To provide a better overview of the many
parameters, there is a choice of two programming
modes - Menu mode and Quick Menu mode. The
former provides access to all parameters. The latter
takes the user through the parameters, which make
it possible to start operating the frequency converter
in most cases, in accordance with the Setup made.
Regardless of the mode of programming, a change
of a parameter will take effect and be visible both in
the Menu mode and in the Quick menu mode.
Structure for Quick menu mode v Menu mode
In addition to having a name, each parameter is linked
up with a number which is the same regardless of
the programming mode. In Menu mode, paramet
will be split into groups, with the first digit (left)
of the parameter number indicating the group
number of the parameter in question.

107 Automatic motor tuning, AMT
(AUTO MOTOR TUN.)
Value:
✭Optimisation off (AMT OFF)
Optimisation on (AMT START)
Function:
Automatic motor tuning is an algorithm that measures
stator resistance R
without the motor axle turning.
S
This means that the motor is not delivering any torque.
AMT can be used with benefit when initialising units
where the user wishes to optimise adjustment of
the frequency converter to the motor being used.
This is used in particular when the factory setting
does not sufficiently cover the motor.
For the best possible tuning of the frequency converter
it is recommended that AMT is performed on a
cold motor. It should be noted that repeated AMT
runs can cause heating of the motor, resulting
in an increase in the stator resistance R
.Asa
S
rule, however, this is not critical.
AMT is performed as follows:
S
tart AMT:
1. Give a STOP signal.
2. Parameter 107 Automatic motor tuning is se t
at value [2] Optimisation on.
3. A START signal is given and parameter 107
Automatic motor tuning is reset to [0] when
AMT has been completed.
In factory setting START requires terminals 18 and
27 to be connected to terminal 12.
omplete AMT:
C
AMT is completed by giving a RESET signal.
Parameter 108 Stator resistance, Rs is updated
with the optimised value.
nterrupting AMT:
I
AMT can be interrupted during the optimisation
procedure by giving a STOP signal.
When using the AMT function the following
points should be observed:
- For AMT to be able to define the motor paramete
as well as possible, the correct type plate data for
[0]
[2]
the motor connected to the frequency converter
must be keyed into parameters 102 to 106.
- Alarms will appear in the display if faults arise
during tuning of the motor.
- As a rule the AMT function will be able to measure
values for motors that are 1-2 times larger or
the R
S
smaller than the frequency converter’snominalsize.
- If you wish to interrupt automatic motor tuning,
press the [STOP/RESET] key.
NB!:
AMT may not be performed on motors
connected in parallel, nor may setup changes
be made while AMT is running.
Description of choice:
Select Optimisation on [2] if you want the frequency
converter to perform automatic motor tuning.

Choose Start frequency/voltage clockwise [3] to
obtain the function described in parameter 130
Start frequency and 131 Voltage at start during start
delay time. Regardless of the value assumed by
the reference signal, the output frequency equals
the setting in parameter 130 Start frequency and
the output voltage will correspond to the setting
in parameter 131 Voltage at start .
This functionality is typically used in hoist applications.
It is used in particular in applications in which a cone
anchor motor is applied, where the direction of rotation
is to start clockwise followed by the reference direction.
Select Start frequency/voltage in reference direction
[4] to obtain the function described in parameter
130 Start frequency and 131 Voltage at start
during the start delay time.
The direction of rotation of the motor will always
follow in the reference direction. If the reference signal
equals zero, the output frequency will equal 0 Hz,
while the output voltage will correspond to the setting
in parameter 131 Voltageatstart. If the reference
signal is different from zero, the output frequency will
equal parameter 130 Start frequency and the output
voltage will equal parameter 131 Voltage at start.This
functionality is used typically for hoist applications with
counterweight. It is used in particular for applications
in which a cone anchor motor is applied. The cone

Function at stop is to be activated.
Description of choice:
Set the required output frequency.
NB!:
If parameter 123 is set higher than parameter
130, then the start delay function (parameter
120 and 121) will be skipped.
NB!:
If parameter 123 is set too high, and DC
hold has been chosen in parameter 122,
the output frequency will jump to the value
in parameter 123 without ramping up. This may
cause an overcurrent warning / alarm.
■DC Braking
During DC braking DC voltage is supplied to the
motor, and this will cause the shaft to be brought to
a standstill. In parameter 132 DC brake voltage DC
brake voltage can be preset from 0-100%. Max. DC
brake voltage depends on the motor data selected.
In parameter 126 DC b raking time DC braking time
is determined and in parameter 127 DC brake cut-infrequency the frequency at which DC braking becomes
active is selected. If a digital input is programmed to DC
braking inverse [5] and shifts from logic ’1’ to logic ’0’,
DC braking will be activated. When a stop command
becomes active, DC braking is activated when the
output frequency is less than the brake cut-in frequency.
NB!:
DC braking may not be used if the inertia in
the motor shaft is more than 20 times greater
than the motor’s internal inertia.
✭ 0,1 Hz
Description of choice:
Select Coasting [0] if the frequency converter is to
’let go’ of the motor (inverter turned off).
Select DC hold [1] if parameter 137 DC holdvoltage is to be activated.
