1. SAFETY

This manual contains clearly marked cautions and warnings which are intended for your per­sonal safety and to avoid any unintentional damage to the product or connected appliances.

Please read the information included in cautions and warnings carefully.

The cautions and warnings are marked as follows:

= DANGER! Dangerous voltage

= WARNING or CAUTION

Table 1. Warning signs

1.1 Danger

The components of the power unit of Vacon 100 are live when the AC drive is
connected to mains potential. Coming into contact with this voltage is extremely
dangerous and may cause death or severe injury.

The motor terminals U, V, W and the brake resistor terminals are live when
Vacon 100 is connected to mains, even if the motor is not running.

After disconnecting the AC drive from the mains, wait until the indicators on the
keypad go out (if no keypad is attached see the indicators on the cover). Wait 5
more minutes before doing any work on the connections of Vacon100. Do not
open the cover before this time has expired. After expiration of this time, use a
measuring equipment to absolutely ensure that no

ensure absence of voltage before starting any electrical work!

The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains potential. However, the
relay outputs and other I/O-terminals may have a dangerous control voltage
present even when Vacon 100 is disconnected from mains.

Before connecting the AC drive to mains make sure that the front and cable cov­ers of Vacon 100 are closed.

During a ramp stop (see the Application Manual), the motor is still generating
voltage to the drive. Therefore, do not touch the components of the AC drive
before the motor has completely stopped. Wait until the indicators on the keypad
go out (if no keypad is attached see the indicators on the cover). Wait additional 5
minutes before starting any work on the drive.

1.2 Warnings

Vacon 100 AC drive is meant for fixed installations only.

Do not perform any measurements when the AC drive is connected to the mains.

The earth leakage current of Vacon 100 AC drives exceeds 3.5mA AC. According
to standard EN61800-5-1, a reinforced protective ground connection must be
ensured. See chapter 1.3.

If the AC drive is used as a part of a machine, the machine manufacturer is
responsible for providing the machine with a supply disconnecting device (EN
60204-1).

Only spare parts delivered by Vacon can be used.

At power-up, power brake or fault reset the motor will start immediately if the
start signal is active, unless the pulse co

Start/Stop logic has been selected

.

The motor starts automatically after automatic fault reset if the auto restart
function is activated. See the Application Manual for more detailed information.

Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, disconnect the motor
cable from the AC drive.

Do not touch the components on the circuit boards. Static voltage discharge may
damage the components.

Check that the EMC level of the AC drive corresponds to the requirements of your
supply network.

1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection

CAUTION!

The Vacon 100 AC drive must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the
earthing terminal marked with .

The touch current of Vacon 100 exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to EN61800-5-1, one or more of
the following conditions for the associated protective circuit shall be satisfied:

A fixed connection and:

a) the protective earthing conductor shall have a cross-sectional area of at least 10 mm2

Cu or 16 mm2 Al.

or

b) an automatic disconnection of the supply in case of discontinuity of the protective

earthing conductor.

or

c) provision of an additional terminal for a second protective earthing conductor of the

same cross-sectional area as the original protective earthing conductor.

Metasys N2 - general info vacon • 5

2. METASYS N2 - GENERAL INFO

The N2 communications protocol is used by Johnson Controls and others to connect terminal
unit controllers to supervisory controllers. It is open to any manufacturer and based upon a
simple ASCII protocol widely used in the process control industry.

The physical characteristics of the N2 bus are three wire RS-485 with a maximum of 100 de­vices over a 4,000 foot distance running at 9,600 bps. Logically, the N2 is a master-slave pro­tocol, the supervisory controller normally being the master. Data is partitioned into common
HVAC control objects, such as analogue input, analogue output, binary input and binary output.
N2 messaging supports the reading, writing and overriding of these points. Additionally, there
are messages defined to perform uploads and downloads of devices as well as direct memory
reads and writes.

Strip about 15 mm of the N2 cable (see specification on page 6) and cut off the
grey cable shield. Remember to do this for both bus cables (except for the last
device).
Leave no more than 10 mm of the cable outside the terminal block and strip the
cables at about 5 mm to fit in the terminals. See picture below.

6. COMMUNICATIONS

Features of the N2-Vacon interface:

• Direct control of Vacon drive (e.g. Run, Stop, Direction, Speed reference, Fault reset)

• Full access to all Vacon parameters

• Monitor Vacon status (e.g. Output frequency, Output current, Fault code)

6.1 Metasys N2 interface

Features of the N2 Interface:

• Direct control of drive ( e.g. Run, Stop, Direction, Speed reference, Fault reset)

• Full access to necessary parameters

• Monitor drive status (e.g. Output frequency, Output current, Fault code )

• In standalone operation, or should the polling stop, the overridden values are released
after a specified period (about 10 minutes).

Figure 4.Principal example diagram of Metasys N2

6.1.1 Analogue Input (AI)

All Analogue Input (AI) points have the following features:

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on high and low warning limits.

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on high and low alarm limits.

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on override status.

• Always considered reliable and never out of range.

• Writing of alarm and warning limit values beyond the range that can be held by the
drive's internal variable will result in having that limit replaced by the "Invalid Float"
value even though the message is acknowledged. The net result will be the inactivation
of the alarm or warning (the same as if the original out of range value was used).

• Overriding is supported from the standpoint that the "Override Active" bit will be set and
the value reported to the N2 network will be the overridden value. However, the value in
the drive remains unchanged. Therefore, the N2 system should be set up to disallow
overriding AI points or have an alarm condition activated when an AI point is overridden.

• Overriding an AI point with a value beyond the limit allowed by the drive's internal vari­able will result in an "Invalid Data" error response and the override status and value
will remain unchanged.

6.1.2 Binary Input (BI)

All Binary Input (BI) points have the following features:

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on current state.

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on alarm condition.

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on override status.

• Always considered reliable.

Overriding is supported from the standpoint that the "Override Active" bit will be set and the
value reported to the N2 network will be the overridden value. However, the value in the drive
remains unchanged. Therefore, the N2 system should be set up to disallow overriding BI points
or have an alarm condition activated when a BI point is overridden.

6.1.3 Analogue Output (AO)

All Analogue Output (AO) points have the following features:

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on override status.

• Always considered reliable.

• Overriding of the AO points is the method used to change a value. Overriding an AO
point with a value beyond the limit allowed by the drive's internal variable will result in
an "Invalid Data" error response and the override status and value will remain
unchanged. If the overridden value is beyond the drive's parameter limit but within the
range that will fit in the variable, an acknowledge response is given and the value will
be internally clamped to its limit.

• An AO point override copies the override value to the corresponding drive parameter.
This is the same as changing the value on the keypad. The value is non-volatile and will
remain in effect when the drive is turned off and back on. It also remains at this value
when the N2 network "releases" the point. The N2 system always reads the current
parameter value.

NOTE:

On some N2 systems, the system will not poll the AO point when it is being overridden. In this
case, the N2 system will not notice a change in value if the change is made with the keypad. To
avoid this, set the point up as a "local control" type and release it once it has been overridden.
In this way, the N2 system will monitor the value when not being overridden.

6.1.4 Binary Output (BO)

All Binary Output (BO) points have the follwoing features:

• Support Change of State (COS) reporting based on override status.

• Always considered reliable.

• Overriding BO points control the drive. These points are input commands to the drive.
When released, the drive's internal value remains at its last overridden value.

6.1.5 Internal Integer (ADI)

All Internal Integer (ADI) points have the follwoing features:

• Do not support Change of State (COS) reporting.

• Can be overridden and the "Override Active" bit will be set. However, the Internal value
is unchanged (Read Only).

7. FAULT TRACING

When an unusual operating condition is detected by the AC drive control diagnostics, the drive
initiates a notification visible, for example, on the keypad. The keypad will show the ordinal
number of the fault, the fault code and a short fault description.

The fault can be reset with the Reset button on the control keypad or via the I/O terminal. The
faults are stored in the Fault history menu which can be browsed. The different fault codes you
will find in the table below. This fault table presents only the faults related to the fieldbus in
use.

NOTE: When contacting distributor or factory because of a fault condition, always write down
all texts and codes on the keypad display and send a description of the problem together with
the

Drive Info File to [e-mail].

7.2 RS-485 bus biasing

When none of the devices on the RS-485 bus is sending data all devices are in idle status. This
being the case, the bus voltage is in indefinte state, usually near 0 V due to the termination re­sistors. This may cause problems in character reception because the single characters in se­rial communcation begin with start bit referring to bus status '0' with voltage of less than ­200mV whereas the bus status '1' corresponds to bus voltage of more than +200mV. The RS­485 standard considers the voltage interval -200mV...+200mV as undefined state. Bus biasing
is therefore needed to maintain the voltage in status ‘1’ (above +200mV) also between the mes­sages.

To bias the bus you will have to add a separate active termination resistor specifically designed
for the RS-485 bus (e.g. Siemens active RS 485 terminating element (6ES7972-0DA00-0AA0)).

Process Data IN (Master to Slave)

Use of Process Data In variables depends on the used application. The configuration of the data
is free.

Process Data OUT (Slave to Master)

Use of Process Data Out variables depends on the used application.

The Fieldbus Master can read the frequency converter’s actual values using process data vari­ables. Control applications use process data as follows:
