3.2Installation Precautions
Improper installation of the X4 AC drive will greatly reduce its life. Be sure to observe the following
precautions when selecting a mounting location. Failure to observe these precautions may void the warranty! See the inside front cover of this manual for more information about the warranty.
•Do not install the drive in a place subjected to high temperature, high humidity, excessive vibration,
corrosive gases or liquids, or airborne dust or metallic particles. See Chapter 2 for temperature,
humidity, and maximum vibration limits.
•Do not mount the drive near heat-radiating elements or in direct sunlight.
•Mount the drive vertically and do not restrict the air flow to the heat sink fins.
•The drive generates heat. Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat dissipation. See “Dissipation
X4 AC Drive User’s ManualChapter 3: Receiving and Installation
3.5Serial Number Label
All X4 AC drives are warranted for three years from date of manufacture, or two years from the date
of installation, whichever comes first. For a more detailed description of the warranty policy, visit
our web site at http://www.vacon.com. To determine if your drive is within the warranty time frame,
find the bar code label or look in the lower left of the technical nameplate. The serial number can be
broken down as follows:
yywwxxxx = yy...year of manufacture
ww...week of manufacture
xxxx...sequential number drive during that week
3.6Conduit Usage
The X4 drive in the NEMA 4X / IP66 enclosure is rated for 1000 psi washdown from 6 inches. To
keep this rating, the use of a sealed conduit is required. The use of a Romex-type conduit will not
prevent water entry into the enclosure. If the approved conduit is not used, all warranty claims
against water damage will be void.
3.7Condensation
The washdown process of an X4 drive may create a temperature and humidity change in and around
the drive. If the unit is mounted in a cool environment and washed down with higher-temperature
water, as the drive cools to room temperature, condensation can form inside the drive, especially
around the display. To prevent this from happening, avoid using sealed connectors around rubbercoated cables to seal the drive. These do not allow any air transfer and hence create a level of
condensation and humidity that exceeds the drive’s rating.
• Read and understand this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the X4 AC drive.
Installation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance of these drives must be performed by qualified
personnel.
• Disconnect all power before servicing the drive. WAIT 5 MINUTES until the DC bus capacitors
discharge.
• DO NOT short across DC bus capacitors or touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw
connections with voltage present.
• Install all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the drive.
• The user is responsible for conforming to all applicable code require-ments with respect to grounding
all equipment.
• Many parts in this drive, including printed circuit boards, operate at line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use
only electrically-insulated tools.
Before servicing the drive:
• Disconnect all power.
• Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the drive disconnect.
• Lock the disconnect in the open position.
Failure to observe these precautions will cause shock or burn, resulting in severe personal injury
or death.

This chapter provides information on connecting power and control wiring to the X4 AC drive.
4.2General Wiring Information
4.2.1 Wiring Practices
When making power and control connections, observe these precautions:
•Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W. Damage
to the drive will result.
•Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other power wiring.
Do not run in the same conduit; this separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise
between circuits.
•Cross conduits at right angles whenever power and control wiring cross.
•Good wiring practice also requires separation of control circuit wiring from all power wiring. Since
power delivered from the drive contains high frequencies which may cause interference with other
equipment, do not run control wires in the same conduit or raceway with power or motor wiring.
4.2.2 Considerations for Power Wiring
Power wiring refers to the line and load connections made to terminals L1/R, L2/S, L3/T, and T1/U,
T2/V, T3/W respectively. Select power wiring using these guidelines:
•Use only UL-recognized wire.
•Wire voltage rating must be a minimum of 300 V for 230 Vac systems and 600 V (Class 1 wire) for
460 or 575 Vac systems.
•Wire gauge must be selected based on 125% of the continuous input current rating of the drive. Wire
gauge must be selected from wire tables for 75 °C insulation rating, and must be of copper construction.
The 230 V 7.5 and 15 HP models, and the 460 V 30 HP models require 90 °C wire to meet UL
requirements. See Chapter 2 for the continuous output ratings for the drive.
•Grounding must be in accordance with NEC and CEC. If multiple X4 drives are installed near each
other, each must be connected to ground. Take care not to form a ground loop.
See Table 4-1 on page 26 and Table 4-2 on page 26 for information on power terminal wiring
specifications.

Note: Wire type not specified by the manufacturer. Some types of wire may not fit within the constraints of the
conduit entry and bend radius inside the drive..
See “Power and Current Ratings” on page 12 for the allowable fluctuation of AC line voltage for
your particular X4 model. A supply voltage above or below the limits given in the table will cause
the drive to trip with either an overvoltage or undervoltage fault.
Exercise caution when applying the X4 AC drive on low-line conditions.
For example, an X4 2000 series unit will operate properly on a 208 Vac line, but the maximum
output voltage will be limited to 208 Vac. If a motor rated for 230 Vac line voltage is controlled by
this drive, higher motor currents and increased heating will result.
Therefore, ensure that the voltage rating of the motor matches the applied line voltage.
4.3.2 Line Capacity
If the source of AC power to the X4 AC drive is greater than 10 times the kVA rating shown in Ta ble
4-4 below, an isolation transformer or line reactor is recommended. Consult the factory for
assistance in sizing the reactor.

Note: X4 AC drive devices are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 65,000 rms
symmetrical amperes at 10% above the maximum rated voltage.
2459131823283642577090112150180220250
4.3.3 Phase Imbalance
Phase voltage imbalance of the input AC source can cause unbalanced currents and excessive heat
in the drive’s input rectifier diodes and DC bus capacitors. Phase imbalance can also damage motors
running directly across the line. The phase imbalance should not exceed 2% of the voltage rating.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Never use power-factor correction capacitors on motor terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W of the X4 AC
drive. Doing so will damage the semiconductors.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.
ATTENTION
RISQUE DE DOMMAGES MATÉRIELS
Ne raccordez jamais de condensateurs de correction du facteur de puissance aux bornes T1/U, T2/V, ou
T3/W du moteur du variateur de vitesse X4. Car cela endommagera les semiconducteurs.
Si cette directive n’est pas respectée, cela peut entraîner des blessures corporelles ou des
dommages matériels.
X4 AC drive 230 Vac models ranging from 1 to 5 HP are designed for both three-phase and singlephase input power. If one of these models is operated with single-phase power, use any two line input
terminals. The output of the device will always be three-phase.
The safe derating of the X4 series of drives is 50% of the nominal current (HP) rating. Consult the
factory with the particular application details for exact derating by model.
4.3.5 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
X4 drives rated for 115 Vac are not designed to operate with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI).
The GFCI breakers are designed for residential use to protect personnel from stray currents to
ground. Most GFCI breakers will shut off at 5 mA of leakage. It is not uncommon for an AC drive
to have 30 to 60 mA of leakage.
4.3.6 Motor Lead Length
Vacon, Inc. recommends that the total lead length should not exceed the motor manufacturer’s
guidelines. Line disturbance and noise can be present in motor wiring of any distance. As a rule of
thumb, any non-inverter duty motor should have a reactor or filter added when the motor lead length
exceeds 150 feet. The carrier frequency for the drive should also be reduced using parameter 803
(PWM Frequency).
Nuisance trips can occur due to capacitive current flow to ground. These currents can cause shock
to personnel and can create problems within the motor. Care should be taken when working in these
areas.
Some applications can have a restricted lead length because of type of wire, motor type, or wiring
placement. Consult the factory and the motor manufacturer for additional information.
4.3.7 Using Output Contactors
Contactors in the output wiring of an AC drive may be needed as part of the approved safety circuit.
Problems can arise if these contactors are opened for the safety circuit and the drive is left in run
mode of operation. When the contactor is open, the drive is in a no-load, no-resistance state, but is
still trying to supply current to the motor. However, when the contactor closes, the drive sees the
motor resistance and instantly demands current. This inrush of current when the contactor closes can
fault or cause failure to the drive.
To prevent problems, interlock an auxiliary contact to the drive’s Run or Enable circuit to stop the
drive when the contactor opens. In this way, the drive will be disabled and no inrush will occur when
the contactor is closed again.
Note that earth ground is on the terminal strip (see Figure 4-1 below). Dynamic brake (DB)
connections are not on the terminal strip, but on “fast on” (spade) connectors for models up to 30 HP,
and on the terminal strip for models 40 HP and larger. See page 32 for specific information about
dynamic braking.
These terminals are the line connections for input power. (Single-phase 115 and 230 Vac,
1 to 5 HP models connect to any two of these terminals.)
See Section 4.3 starting on page 27 for input line requirements.
Note that when testing for a ground fault, do not short any motor lead (T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W) back
to an input phase (L1/R, L2/S, or L3/T).
It is necessary to provide fuses and a disconnect switch for the input AC line in accordance with all
applicable electrical codes. The X4 AC drive is able to withstand a 150% overload for 60 seconds
for heavy duty rating, and 120% overload for normal duty rating.
The fusing and input protection of the drive must always meet UL, NEC (National Electric Code),
and CEC (Canadian Electric Code) requirements. All fuse ratings included in Table 4 -6 below are
for reference only and do not supersede code requirements. The recommended supplier is Bussman.
The X4 AC drive is supplied with an integrated dynamic braking (DB) resistor, and is designed to
have adequate dynamic braking for most applications. In cases where short stopping times or high
inertia loads require additional braking capacity, install an external resistor.
Note: External braking cannot be added to Size 0 models. For Size 4 (60-100 HP) and Size 5 (125200 HP) models, additional external dynamic braking requires a kit that provides the connections to
the braking transistors. The XDBKITS4 and XDBKITS5 kits can be purchased through local
distributors. Frame Sizes 3 - 5 have both the DC positive and negative bus terminals available,
making the drive compatible with either an external resistor or a combination resistor / chopper type
of dynamic braking kit.
If an external resistor is used for dynamic braking (not applicable for Size 0 models), the internal resistor must be disconnected. Internal DB resistors are connected with fast-on terminals. To
install an external resistor, first disconnect the internal DB resistor (or resistors in 460 and 575 Vac
models) and properly terminate the wires leading to it. Then connect the external resistor fast-on
terminals where the internal resistor had been connected.
Changes to parameter 410 (DB Config) must be made when using external DB resistors.
Verify with the manufacturer of the selected resistor that the resistor is appropriate for your
application. Contact Vacon’s Electronic Application Engineering (see inside front cover of this
manual) for further assistance with other possible sizing limitations.
Refer to Table 4-7 on page 32 for information about dynamic braking capacity for each X4 model.
Table 4-7: X4 Dynamic Braking Capacity (Page 1 of 2) (* Note that the asterisked X4 model numbers cannot
have external braking added)
Figure 4-3 shows the control terminals found on the I/O board of the X4 AC drive. See page 14 for
specifications. Table 4-8 on page 35 describes the control terminals.
The drive’s control terminals are referenced to earth ground through a resistor / capacitor network.
Use caution when connecting analog signals not referenced to earth ground, especially if the
communications port (J3) is being used. The J3 port includes a common reference that can be
connected to earth ground through the host PLC or computer.

(4.7
kOhms) if using the drive’s internal supply.
Note that if you are using a high-impedance meter to this terminal, the pull-up resistor value may
need to change. Please consult the factory for more information.
Inrush currents to coils of magnetic contactors, relays, and solenoids associated with or near the
drive can induce high current spikes in the power and control wiring, causing faulty operation. If this
occurs, a snubber network consisting of a series resistor and capacitor for AC loads, or a freewheeling or flyback diode for DC loads, can be placed across the relay coil to prevent this condition.
The following component values should be used for 115 VAC or 230 VAC relays or solenoids.

The X4 AC drive is pre-programmed to run a standard, 4-pole AC induction motor. For many
applications, the drive is ready for use right out of the box with no additional programming needed.
The digital keypad controls all operations of the unit. The ten input keys allow “press and run”
operation of the motor (Operation mode) and straightforward programming of the parameters
(Program mode)..
Figure 5-1: The X4 Keypad
To simplify programming, the parameters are grouped into three levels:
1. Enter Level 1 by pressing the Program (PROG) key at any time. Level 1 allows you to access
the most commonly used parameters.
2.Enter Level 2 by holding down the SHIFT key while pressing the PROG key. Level 2 allows
access to all X4 parameters, including those in Level 1, for applications which require more
advanced features.
3.Enter Macro mode by holding the Program (PROG) key down for more than 3 seconds. The
display then shows “Hold PROG for Macro Mode.” See Chapter 6, “Using Macro Mode,”
starting on page 49, for more information.
The summary of parameters found before the Table of Contents notes whether a parameter is in
Level 1. “Chapter 7: X4 Parameters” on page 59 gives full information about what level a
parameter is in.
Note that all parameters can be addressed by adding 40000 to the parameter number. For
example, parameter 201 (Input Mode) can be addressed by Modbus address 40201.

Level: 2
Parameter 206, Vin1 Offset, configures the input range (offset) for analog input Vin1 that will affect speed or torque
limit functions. It is expressed as a percentage of the maximum value of the input signal.
Note that if the input signal drops below the offset value or if the input signal is lost (if no offset is configured), fault 22

Level: 2
Parameter 207, the Vin1 Span parameter, is used to alter the input range (span) of the input signal for analog input
Vin1 that will affect speed or torque limit functions. For example, if parameter 205, Vin1 Config, selects the 0 to 10 Vdc
input signal, setting this parameter to 50% reduces it to 0 to 5 Vdc.
208-Cin ConfigDefault = 0-20mA 50

210 Cin SpanDefault = 100.0%Range: 10.0% to 200.0%
Parameter 210, Cin Span, is used to alter the range of the input signal for analog input Cin. For example, if parameter

value of the input signal. See parameter 222 for options related to the drive’s response to loss of input signal.
213 Vin2 SpanDefault = 100%Range: 10.0 to 200.0%
Parameter 213, Vin2 Span, is used to alter the range of the input signal for analog input Vin2. For example, if parameter
211 (Vin2 Config) selects the 0 to 10Vdc input signal, setting this parameter to 50% reduces it to 0 to 5Vdc.
214 Vin1 Filter TimeDefault = 20 ms
Range: 0 to 1000 ms
Level: 2
This parameter configures the time constant of a filter for the Vin1 analog input. When the parameter value is set to
0 ms, there is no software filtering of the analog input. A value above 0 ms causes the drive to filter the analog signal.
Note that long filter times will create a delay in the drive response to signal changes.
215 Cin Filter TimeDefault = 20 ms
Range: 0 to 1000 ms
Level: 2
This parameter configures the time constant of a filter of the Cin analog input. When the parameter value is set to 0 ms,
there is no software filtering of the analog input. A value above 0 ms causes the drive to filter the analog signal. Note
that long filter times will create a delay in the drive response to signal changes.
Table 7-2: Description of X4 Parameters (Page 6 of 25)
216 Vin2 Filter Time
Default = 20 ms
Range: 0 to 1000 ms
Level: 2
This parameter configures the time constant of a filter for the Vin2 analog input. When the parameter value is set to
0 ms, there is no software filtering of the analog input. A value above 0 ms causes the drive to filter the analog signal.
Note that long filter times will create a delay in the drive response to signal changes.
217 Trim Ref EnableDefault = Disabled
Range: text string
Level: 2
This parameter enables or disables trimming of the drive reference by an analog input and selects which analog input
will perform the trimming function.

218 Trim % FactorDefault = 0.0%
Description
Drive Reference = Drive Reference + (Trim % Factor) * Max Frequency / 100%
Range: -100.0% to +100.0%
Level 2
This parameter determines the percentage of the analog input signal selected in Parameter 217, Trim Ref Enable, that
will affect the reference signal.
222 Ref Loss ConfigDefault = No Fault
Range: text string
Level 2
This parameter allows for the control of the drive’s response to a 4-20mA input on either the Vin1 or Cin input terminals
when the input drops below approximately 3mA. The default value is No Fault. The options for this parameter are:
Retain Spd Hold the last operating speed
Preset Spd2Go to the speed programmed at address 304
FaultDrive faults with an F22 Reference Loss indication
No FaultDrive does NOT fault; operating frequency drops to the limit set at Parameter 301, Min Frequency
301 Min FrequencyDefault = 0.0%Range: 0.0-Max Freq
Parameter 301, Minimum Frequency, configures the minimum frequency output of the drive. This parameter governs
the minimum frequency when operating from the keypad or from an analog input. The preset speeds can be set lower
than the minimum frequency in parameter 301.
302 Max FrequencyDefault: 60 HzRange: 0.0 to 400.0 Hz
Parameter 302, the Maximum Frequency parameter, configures the maximum frequency output of the drive.
These parameters configure six preset speeds in addition to the normal reference speed of the drive (as defined by
parameters 201 (Input Mode)and 204 (Ref Select) and the maximum frequency of the drive (as set with parameter
302, Max Frequency). Thus, in effect, you may choose to operate the drive at up to eight different speeds.
The eight speeds are selected by a combination of three digital inputs (PS1, PS2, PS3). A wiring scheme for utilizing
preset speeds is provided on page 37 along with a truth table showing what combination of inputs results in the selection
of which speeds.
Note that parameter Parameter 303 (Preset Freq1) also serves as the reference frequency for jogging.
Table 7-2: Description of X4 Parameters (Page 7 of 25)
309 Cut-Off FreqDefault: 0.0 Hz
This parameter sets the point where the drive no longer attempts to spin the motor. The range of this parameter is 0.0-
5.0 Hz. When the parameter is configured to a value of 0.0 Hz, the drive will operate with no Cut-off Frequency. If the
function is enabled, the drive will be able to ramp up through the cut-off frequency range, as in normal operation. If the
speed command falls below the cut-off frequency, the drive stops “gating” the outputs and coasts down to zero speed.
The keypad display will indicate Zero Speed, and the Forward or Reverse LED will be lit depending on the command.
When the reference returns to a value greater than the cut-off frequency, the drive will ramp from 0.0 Hz to the reference
frequency.
401 Ramp SelectDefault: ART-DI
The Ramp Select parameter configures when the alternate ramps of the drive will be active and whether the drive
ramps to stop, or coasts to stop. The following data values may be assigned to this parameter:
Parameter Value
ART-DIRamp-to-Stop402 (Accel Time 1) and 403 (Decel Time 1) control the operation until terminal

402 Accel Time 1Default: 5.0 s
This parameter configures the default length of time to accelerate from 0 Hz to the value of parameter 302 (Max Frequency). This acceleration ramp is selected by parameter 401 (Ramp Select).
Note that extremely short acceleration times may result in nuisance fault trips.
403 Decel Time 1Default: 5.0 s
This parameter configures the default length of time to decelerate from the value of parameter 302 (Max Frequency)
to 0 Hz. The deceleration ramp is selected by parameter 401 (Ramp Select).
Note that extremely short deceleration times may result in nuisance fault trips or may require an external dynamic brake
or regen current limit.
Type of RampRamp Configured by:
strip intervention through a properly-programmed digital input. With an active
digital input, ramps 404 (Accel Time 2) and 405 (Decel Time 2) are active.

start and stop of the ramp time.
Table 7-2: Description of X4 Parameters (Page 8 of 25)
404 Accel Time 2Default: 3.0 s
This parameter provides an alternate ramping time for the drive when accelerating, configuring the length of time to
accelerate from 0 Hz to the value of parameter 302 (Max Frequency). This acceleration ramp is selected by parameter
401 (Ramp Select)or Sequencer configuration.
Note that extremely short acceleration times may result in nuisance fault trips.
405 Decel Time 2Default: 3.0 s
This parameter provides an alternate ramping time for the drive when decelerating, configuring the length of time to
decelerate from the value of parameter 302 (Max Frequency) to 0 Hz. This deceleration ramp is selected by parameter
401 (Ramp Select) or Sequencer configuration.
Note that extremely short deceleration times may result in nuisance fault trips or may require an external dynamic brake
or regen current limit.
406 DC Inject ConfigDefault: DC at Stop
DC injection braking may be used to stop the motor more quickly than is possible by either a ramp-to-stop or a coastto-stop. The X4 drive allows DC braking to be initiated either when a digital input assigned to DC braking becomes true,
when a specified frequency is reached, or when either of these events occurs.
When using a digital input for DC braking, you must use one of the DI parameters to configure the selected digital input
for DC braking. The amount of braking force is set by parameter 408 (DC Inject Level). The length of time that the
braking force is applied is determined by the time that the selected digital input is active. The second type of DC injection
braking supported by the X4 drive is where DC braking occurs at a specified frequency. The duration of the braking is
adjusted by parameter 407(DC Inject Time).
With this type of braking, as the drive slows down after a Stop command, DC braking begins when the frequency
reaches the value set in parameter 409 (DC Inj Freq). If the frequency at the time of a Stop command is less than that
of DC Inj Freq, DC braking begins immediately. The braking continues for the time period specified by parameter DC Inj Freq. Once the time period elapses, the drive may be restarted.
Parameter Value
DC at StopDC inject only on Stop
DC at StartDC inject only on Start
DC at BothDC inject only on both Start and Stop
DC on FreqDC inject only on Stop below the set frequency
407 DC Inject TimeDefault: 0.2 sec
If parameter 406 is set to DC at Stop (see page 67), direct current is applied to the motor. This parameter, DC Inject
Time, determines how long the direct current will be applied, and how long DC is applied at Start if programmed
accordingly.
This parameter works in tandem with parameter 410 (DC Inject Config)and the other parameters associated with DC
Inject Config. That is, the time period configured by this parameter, DC Inject Time, determines how long DC injection
braking will be active. When DC injection braking is controlled by a digital input, the braking continues for as long as the
digital input is true, plus the time set by parameter 407 (DC Inject Time). When it is controlled by frequency, however,
it continues for the length of time once the drive reaches the frequency set by parameter 409 (DC Inj Freq).
408 DC Inject LevelDefault: 50.0%
Configures the amount of DC injection that will occur when direct current is injected into the motor windings, which acts
as a braking force. The amount of current is expressed as a percentage of nominal motor current. The braking force
may be applied when starting or stopping. If this parameter is set to 0.0%, the DC injection is disabled.
Table 7-2: Description of X4 Parameters (Page 9 of 25)
409 DC Inj FreqDefault: 0 Hz
Configures the frequency under which direct current will be applied to the drive when DC Inject Config is set to “DC on
Freq.” If this parameter is set to 0.0, the parameter operates in the same way as “DC at Stop.”
410 DB ConfigDefault: DB Internal
Determines whether an external or internal dynamic brake is utilized or disabled. The drive provides an internal dynamic
brake (DB) to assist in stopping. If desired, an external resistor can be connected to DB and B+ for additional capacity.
(Note: Size 0 models cannot have an external brake added.)
The following data values may be assigned to this parameter:
Parameter Value
DB InternalInternal dynamic braking active
DB ExternalExternal dynamic braking active
No Dyn BrkDynamic braking circuit disabled
Int-ARCTICWhen DB Config is configured to “Int-ARCTIC,” dynamic braking becomes active if the drive temperature
Description
drops below -7 degrees C. When the DB becomes active, an “ARCTIC Mode” warning flashes on the
keypad. If the drive drops below -10 degrees C, the drive will be disabled and not allowed to run. The
keypad will indicate a “Not enabled” state at this point. If the drive heats up after being below -10
degrees C, the drive must meet the following criteria before operating again:
a) Drive temperature must be above -9 degrees C, and
b) Drive temperature must stay above -9 degrees C until a time period has elapsed. The time period is
dependent on how far below -10 degrees C the drive was. Each degree below -10 degrees C adds
another 4 minutes before restart.

414 S Ramp RoundingDefault: 25%
This parameter is used to define the amount of rounding or S-curve to the Accel and Decel ramp. The amount of
rounding is split evenly between the beginning and the end of the ramp. A value of 1% would mean that the rounding
of the ramp is near linear. A value of 50% would have 25% rounding at the start of the ramp and 25% at the end of the
ramp.

503 V/Hz Knee FreqDefault: 60 Hz
This parameter sets the point on the frequency scale of the V/Hz curve at which the output is at full line voltage.
Normally, this is set at the base frequency of the motor, but it may be increased to enlarge the constant torque range
on special motors. Setting this parameter to a higher value can reduce motor losses at low frequencies.
Table 7-2: Description of X4 Parameters (Page 11 of 25)
504 Skip Freq BandDefault: 0.2 Hz
To reduce mechanical resonances in a drive system, the drive may be configured to “skip” certain frequencies. Once
configured, the drive will accelerate or decelerate through the prohibited frequency band without settling on any
frequency in the band.
The X4 AC drive provides the capability to configure four prohibited frequency bands. Parameter 504 (Skip Freq Band),
the Skip Frequency Band parameter, sets the width of the band above and below each of the prohibited frequencies set
in parameters 505, 506, 507, and 508 (Skip Freq 1,2,3, 4).
For example, if this parameter is set to its default value of 1 Hz and parameter505 (Skip Freq 1) is set to 20 Hz, a skip
band from 19 to 21 Hz is established.
As discussed in the description of parameter 504 (Skip Freq Band), the drive may be configured to skip certain
frequencies. These three parameters set the center of the three skip frequency bands (with the width of each band being
twice the value of parameter 504 — an equal amount above and below the skip frequency).
For example, if parameter 504 is set to 2.5 Hz and parameter 508 (Skip Freq 4) is set to 55 Hz, a skip band from 52.5
to 57.5 Hz is established.
509 Rated Mtr VoltDefault: Model dependent
The Rated Motor Voltage parameter configures the rated motor voltage, and allows a user to enter the rated voltage
from the motor nameplate to provide optimal control and protection. This is usually the amount of voltage delivered to
the motor terminals at the setting of503 (V/Hz Knee Freq).
510 Rated Mtr FLADefault: ND Rating
The Rated Motor FLA parameter allows a user to enter the rated FLA from the motor nameplate to provide optimal
control and protection. This parameter should be configured to the value on the nameplate of the motor, as that value
is used in calculating the percentage of current at which the drive is operating.
For information on motor timed overload operation, and how parameter 510 works with it, see page 74.
511 Rated Mtr RPMDefault: 1750 rpm
This parameter replaces the slip compensation parameter setting of the drive so the user does not need to calculate it.
512 Midpoint FreqDefault: 60.0 Hz
When parameter 501, V/Hz Select, is configured to “Linear 2pc,” this parameter, together with parameter 513, Midpoint
Vol t, defines an additional point in the V/Hz characteristic.
513 Midpoint VoltDefault: 100.0%
When parameter
Freq, defines an additional point in the V/Hz characteristic.
514 Motor RSDefault: Model dependent
This parameter allows direct entry of the Stator Resistance (Rs) of the motor for better vector performance. The motor
manufacturer can provide this information, or you can physically measure this value with an ohmmeter. From the lineto-line measurement of motor resistance, enter half the measured value. (See page 47 for more information.)
515 Power FactorDefault: 0.80
This parameter allows direct entry of the motor’s power factor for better vector performance. The motor manufacturer
can provide this information.
501, V/Hz Select, is configured to “Linear 2pc,” this parameter, along with parameter 512, Midpoint
Parameter 516 permits activation of slip compensation for better speed regulation. The motor rated speed must be
entered into parameter 511 (Rated Mtr RPM) for best results.

Motor RSAutomatic RS measurement using macro procedure.
520 Filter FStatorDefault: 8 ms
Description
Range: 1 - 100 ms
Level 2
This parameter filters the stator frequency applied to the motor, which can help tune the acceleration behavior of the
motor. This is particularly helpful when using short ramps and operating the motor at a frequency above the “V/Hz Knee
Freq” (parameter 503) value (field weakening area). Lower values allow dynamic currents to be produced, but with
greater peaks. This could produce unstable states in the field weakening area. Low values for this parameter can cause
overcurrent faults while accelerating to frequencies over the Knee Frequency. Higher values allow the drive to run more
smoothly at frequencies over the Knee Frequency and protect the drive against overcurrents--often the case when using
special motors or spindle drives.
521 Start Field EnDefault: No
Parameter Value
Description
Range: text string
Level 2
NoThe shaft will begin rotating after receiving a Start command, without delay. If the application has
heavy load conditions or short ramp times, this setting can produce very large starting currents, to
overcome the inertia of the system. This may produce nuisance trips when starting.
YesThe shaft will begin rotating after receiving a Start command, with delay. During this delay, the drive
is building up the magnetic field in the motor. This allows the drive to start in vector mode with less
starting current.
522 Filter Time SlipDefault: 100 ms
Range: 10 - 1000 ms
Level 2
This parameter filters the slip frequency applied to the motor, which can help improve the dynamic response of the drive.
This parameter produces the following results based on the parameter value:
If the parameter is configured to 100 ms, the drive will produce stable conditions to a change in load, in most cases.
If the parameter is configured to less than 100 ms, the drive will be able to react quickly to a change in load, but may
over-compensate its reaction to the load.
If the parameter is configured to greater than 100 ms, the drive will react very slowly to a change in load and will need
a longer time to compensate for the difference between the setpoint and the actual frequency.

600 Current Lim SelDefault: Fixed Lvls
The X4 drive provides a Current Limit feature. With this feature enabled, the drive’s frequency is automatically reduced
when operating in motoring mode to keep the measured torque within limits. When operating in regenerative mode, the
output frequency can be automatically increased for the same reason. In addition to the current limit parameters that
activate the Current Limit mode, more current limit parameters are available to adjust the drive’s response to the load
demands. The following data values may be assigned to this parameter:
Parameter Value

Vin2 F-MtrVin2 analog input sets the FWD motoring current limit value, range 0-200%
Cin F-MotorCin analog input sets the FWD motoring current limit value, range 0-200%
Note: Current limit is only available when Parameter 502 is set to Linear Auto. If Parameter 502 is set to Vector, then
the Current Limiting values will actually be Torque Limiting values.
601 Cur Lim Mtr FwdDefault: 120%
This parameter sets the current limiting point when the drive is in motoring mode in the forward direction. The limit is
expressed as a percentage of the current capacity of the drive.
602 Cur Lim Mtr RevDefault: 120%
This parameter sets the current limiting point when the drive is in motoring mode in the reverse direction. The limit is
expressed as a percentage of the current capacity of the drive.
603 Cur Lim Reg FwdDefault: 80%
This parameter sets the current limiting point when the drive is in regenerative mode in the forward direction. The limit
is expressed as a percentage of the current capacity of the drive.
604 Cur Lim Reg RevDefault: 80%
This parameter sets the current limiting point when the drive is in regenerative mode in the reverse direction. The limit
is expressed as a percentage of the current capacity of the drive.
605 Cur Lim FreqDefault: 3.0 Hz
This parameter sets the frequency where current limit becomes active. This value will also be the frequency point the
drive will decelerate the motor to during Motoring Current Limit.
606 Ramp Time CLDefault: 1.0 sec
This parameter determines the ramp rate when the drive enters Current Limit, and defines the ramping rate of the drive
when in a current limiting mode. If the drive is in regenerative current limit, it is an acceleration time. If the drive is in
motoring current limit, it is a deceleration time.
607 Cur Lim MinimumDefault: 10%
This parameter limits the lowest amount of current (or torque) limiting that can occur when the limit threshold is
determined by an analog input.
Table 7-2: Description of X4 Parameters (Page 15 of 25)
608 Restart Number
609 Restart Delay
You may configure the drive to attempt to re-start a specified number of times after certain faults occur. Chapter 8 lists
all faults and notes which ones may be reset automatically.
The number of attempts at re-starting is set with parameter 608 (Restart Number). A value of 0 prevents the drive from
attempting a re-start). The time duration that must elapse between re-start attempts is set with parameter 609 (Restart Delay). The type of start to be attempted is set with parameter 802 (Start Options); see page 78).
If the number of attempted re-starts is exceeded, the drive will trip with a fault and will stop operating. Resetting the fault can result in instant starting. (See page 93 for more information on faults and troubleshooting.)
Note that for 2-wire operation, the FWD or REV terminal must still be active for the drive to attempt a re-start.
Also note that the counter for attempted re-starts will not reset to zero until ten minutes after a successful re-start.

610 Timed OL SelectDefault: Std Ind 60s
Two parameters in the X4 work together to configure how the motor timed overload operates: Parameter 510 (Rated
Mtr FLA) and parameter 610 (Timed OL Select).
Parameter 510 (Rated Mtr FLA) should be configured to the value on the nameplate of the motor. This value is used
in calculating the percentage of current at which the drive is operating.
Set parameter 610 to one of the following data values to configure the desired overload characteristic:
Options

Timed OL Select determines the graph of Trip (Fault) Time vs. Percent Current that is used by the Motor TOL
functionality. This protective feature is speed-dependent to handle standard induction motors whose cooling is limited
by the shaft-mounted fan. Blower-cooled motors and most inverter-duty motors do not have this limitation.
613 Max Regen Ramp Default: 300%
This parameter operates as a percentage of the longest ramp time. This time then defines the amount of time a
deceleration to stop can take without causing a “Regen Timeout” fault. For example, if “Decel Time 1” is 5.0 seconds,
“Decel Time 2” is 10.0 seconds, and “Max Regen Ramp” is 300%, a deceleration to stop that takes more than 30
seconds will cause a “Regen Timeout” fault in the drive.

803 PWM FrequencyDefault: 3.0 kHz
The PWM Carrier Frequency parameter sets the carrier frequency of the Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) waveform
supplied to the motor. Low carrier frequencies provide better low-end torque, but produce some audible noise from the
motor. Higher carrier frequencies produce less audible noise, but cause more heating in the drive and motor.

When using any of the Time functions, these refer to “Retention Time.” Retention time is an inverse function: as
speed goes up, time goes down, and vice versa. It is typically used in oven-type applications. The value set in
parameter 809(Display Scale) references the time of operation when running at Max. Frequency. For instance, if
parameter 302 (Max. Frequency)is set for 60 Hz, 804 (Display Mode) is set for Time min, and 809 (Display
Scale) is set for 600, the scales of the display will read 60.0 min at maximum speed and increase in time (in

811 Access CodeDefault: 0
The security Access Code allows the user to control access to the programmable functions of the inverter. The initial
value of this parameter is 000, which signifies that no access code is necessary. Any number between 001 and 999
may be used for an access code, but is not necessary. If an access code is entered, you will not be able to view the
values while scrolling through parameters. Only after the Shift key is pressed will the actual value appear.
To enter an access code, re-program parameter 811 as you would any other parameter. After the new value is stored,
you have 10 minutes of free access. If you remove power and then restore it, you will need to enter the access code to
change any program parameter. If you enter an incorrect access code, the drive displays **WRONG CODE** and allows
only viewing rights to the various parameters. Once the correct code is entered, you again have 10 minutes of free
access unless power is removed and restored. To disable the access code requirement, set parameter 811 back to 000.
812 Freq Ref OutputDefault: 6FS
The Frequency Reference Output parameter determines the frequency pulse-train output from the DOP terminal. This
digital output is a pulse train that can be linked to another drive or to a field meter for speed indication. The pulse train
is a 50% duty cycle signal and requires a pull-up resistor of approximately 4.7 kOhms.
The following data values may be assigned to this parameter:

7.4Using the X4 Program Sequencer
The X4 AC drive offers functionality that allows users to program up to nine independent operation
states of the drive. This functionality is called the “program sequencer” because it allows the drive
to sequence through the operation states programmed by the user. The X4 Program Sequencer can
be used in applications that would normally require external intelligence, such as a simple
programmable logic controller.
7.4.1 Enabling the X4 Program Sequencer
The X4 Program Sequencer can be enabled with parameter 491 (Seq Appl), found in the Application
Macro programming mode of the X4 keypad. This parameter configures:
•Whether the sequencer is enabled,
•The time base used for all timing of the sequencer,
•Whether other sequencer parameters are visible in Level 2 programming.

7.4.2 Controlling the X4 Program Sequencer
The Program Sequencer can be activated and controlled from either the keypad or the terminal strip.
It is not possible to control the sequencer through the serial link. The control method of the program
sequencer is determined by parameter 201, Input Mode. Setting the Input Mode parameter also
allows switching from Sequencer mode to normal keypad operation by way of the Local/Remote
switch. Table 7-4 illustrates possible program sequencer control configurations.

When activating or controlling the X4 Program Sequencer from the keypad, pressing the FWD key
commands the drive to cycle through the programmed states of the sequencer one time only (oneshot operation). One-shot operation will run the sequencer until state 9 is reached, or until any state
that is not changed from the default is reached.
Pressing the SHIFT and FWD keys simultaneously causes the programmed sequence to repeat until
the Stop key is pressed (continuous operation). In continuous mode, the sequencer runs until state 9
or any state that is not changed from the default is reached; it then jumps back to state 1.
Note that the REV key has no function in the sequencer mode.
Terminal Control of the X4 Program Sequencer
When activating or controlling the X4 Program Sequencer from terminals, continuous and one-shot
operation is determined by whether the drive is wired for 2-wire or 3-wire control. If the terminal is
set up for 2-wire control, the sequencer operates in continuous mode (R/J terminal inactive). This
will run the sequencer until the Forward command is removed. If the terminal is set up for 3-wire
control, the sequencer runs one cycle when the FWD terminal is activated.
Note that the REV terminal has no function in sequencer mode.
X4 Sequencer Dwell Functionality
The X4 sequencer has the capability to dwell, or pause, in a state and disregard any command to
advance to the next state. This can be done in two different ways, and both methods can be used at
the same time.
If the sequencer is actively running and the Enter key is pressed from the Operate screen of the X4
keypad, the sequencer will dwell in the current state (it will never advance to the next state). While
the sequencer is dwelling, a warning of “Seq Dwell” will flash on the Operate screen. To leave the
dwell state, press the Enter key again from the Operate screen.
The sequencer Dwell mode can also be entered by programming a digital input to “Seq Dwell.” The
sequencer will then dwell in the current state, for as long as the digital input is active.
X4 Sequencer Advance Functionality
The sequencer has the ability to allow the user to advance to the next state without satisfying the
conditions programmed to advance. To do this, program a digital input to “Seq Advance.” When a
digital input program to this option changes from inactive to active, a running sequencer will
advance one state. This feature is useful when debugging a sequence with long time intervals.
7.4.3 Sequencer State Configuration Overview
Each state of the program sequencer is defined by five characteristics:
•Direction in which the drive will operate
•Speed at which the drive will operate
•Ramp selection of the drive
•Output configuration (relays and digital outputs) of the drive
•How the sequencer advances to the next state.
These five characteristics are configured by two parameters for each state. These parameters are
named “Seq Cntl X” and “Seq Count X,” where X represents the state number of the sequencer. The
“Seq Cntl X” parameter is a binary parameter that sets each of the five characteristics listed above.
“Seq Count X” configures the threshold that the sequencer will use in determining when to advance
by the method programmed in the control parameter. The bit patterns of the Seq Cntl X” parameters
are shown in Figure 7-1:
Table 7-5 gives more information on the speed selection options available in the X4 sequencer by
programming bits 0, 1, and 2 of each state’s control parameter. The options include any Preset Speed,
Max Frequency, or allowing the reference to be determined in the normal X4 control path.

110Value of parameter Preset Speed 6(308)
111Value of parameter Max Frequency (302)
X4 Sequencer Ramping Selection
Speed selection as in normal X4 operation, as defined by parameters 204 (Ref Select) and 201
(Input Mode).
When the sequencer is active, the active ramp is no longer determined by parameter “Ramp Select.”
The user, however, does have the choice of using the main ramps (Accel Time 1/Decel Time1), or
the alternate ramps (Accel Time 2/Decel Time 2) for each independent state. This is determined by
bit 3 of the control parameter. If bit 3 is set to 1, then the alternate ramps are used (Accel Time 2/
Decel Time 2).
Sequencer Output Configuration
The X4 Program Sequencer allows digital outputs to be activated during states of the sequencer. This
function could be used to activate other devices in a system or to signal to an operator when a part
of the sequence is active. The user sets the digital output by setting bits 9 and 10 of the control
parameter with a binary value, and then sets a digital output parameter with the option for that same
binary value. For example, if a control state was output configured for a binary value of 11, then any
digital output configured to “SeqOut-11” would be activated during that time.
Sequencer Direction Selection
The sequencer allows each state to be configured as running Forward, Reverse, Stopped, or DC
Injected by setting bits 7 and 8 of the control parameters.
Sequencer State Duration
Bits 4, 5, and 6 of each sequencer control parameter specify how that step will allow advancement
to the next step. The options for advancement are time, pulse input, voltage threshold, current threshold, or digital input comparison. After the advancement method is selected with these bits,
the threshold of advancement is determined by the state’s count parameter (see the next paragraph).
Sequencer State Advance Threshold (via Count Parameter)
The sequencer count parameters work in conjunction with the state duration configuration in the
control parameter to determine when to advance to the next state. The function of this parameter is
dependent on the state duration configuration as defined in Table 7-6 on page 88. The range of data
programmed into this parameter can be from 0 to 65,535, and can represent time, pulse counts,
analog voltage thresholds, analog current thresholds, or digital comparison values.

Pulse Count - The current sequencer state will last until the number of pulses programmed into “Seq

Low Analog Voltage Threshold - The active sequencer state lasts until the voltage signal applied to
terminal Vin2 is < a value programmed into “Seq Count X.” The value programmed into “Seq Count
X” should be the percentage of input after span and offset are applied (where 100.00% = 10000).
Note: The % of analog input after span and offset can be read in parameter 912, Vin2 Status.
High Analog Voltage Threshold - The active sequencer state lasts until the voltage signal applied to
terminal Vin2 is > a value programmed into “Seq Count X.” The value programmed into “Seq Count
X” should be the percentage of input after span and offset are applied (where 100.00% = 10000).
Note: The % of analog input after span and offset can be read in parameter 912, Vin2 Status.
Low Analog Current Threshold - The active sequencer state lasts until the current signal applied to
Cin terminals is < a value programmed into “Seq Count X.” The value programmed into “Seq Count
X” should be the percentage of input after span and offset are applied (where 100.00% = 10000).
Note: The % of analog input after span and offset can be read in parameter 911, Cin Status.
High Analog Current Threshold - The active sequencer state lasts until the current signal applied to
Cin terminals is > a value programmed into “Seq Count X.” The value programmed into “Seq Count
X” should be the percentage of input after span and offset are applied (where 100.00% = 10000).
Note: The % of analog input after span and offset can be read in parameter 911, Cin Status.
Digital Comparison - The active sequencer state lasts until the binary value of digital inputs
configured to Seq1, Seq2, and Seq3 is equal to the value programmed into "Seq Count X."
Note: For this option to work, "DIx Configure" parameters must be set to "Seq1," "Seq2," and "Seq3.”
When the sequencer is enabled, the control path indication field on the keypad will indicate SQx,
where x represents the active state of the sequencer. A sample operate screen (where the sequencer
is in state 1) is shown below:
Q 1 :S t o p p eSd
0 . 0 H z+ 0 %
When the sequencer is running, a warning, “Seq Running,” will flash on the screen to indicate that
the drive control state may change without user input. For example:
Q 1 :S t o p p eSd
0 . 0 H z+ 0 %
Q 1 : S e qR u n n i nSg
0 . 0 H z+ 0 %
When the sequencer is dwelling (pausing) in a state, a warning, “Seq Dwell,” will flash on the screen
to indicate that the sequencer will not advance. For example:
Q 1 :S t o p p eSd
0 . 0 H z+ 0 %
Q 1 :S e qD w e lSl
0 . 0 H z+ 0 %
7.4.5 Sample Sequencer Program
A machine is required to run in the forward direction at 50 Hz for one hour, then quickly decelerate
to a stop. While stopped, a digital output must be enabled to sound an alarm to an operator. After two
minutes, the machine must accelerate in the reverse direction to 5 Hz until a limit switch is activated.,
causing the drive to decelerate to a stop. The following three sequential states can be programmed
using only the drive:
Table 7-7: Sample Sequencer Program Requirements
State 1State 2State 3
Direction SelectionForwardStopReverse
Speed Selection50 HzZero speed5 Hz
Ramp SelectionPrimaryAlternatePrimary
Output ConfigurationSeqOut-00SeqOut-01SeqOut-10
State Duration1 hour2 minutesUntil DI active
First, since two of the sequential states are time-based, the proper setting of the “Seq Appl”
parameter must be determined. Since there is not time required that has resolution needed of less than
one second, the “1 sec Base” option is the easiest to use. If greater resolution is needed (for example,
if a state needed to last for 2.5 seconds), another option should be chosen.
Since the sequence requires use of a digital input and a digital output, two non-sequencer parameters
need to be used. Set the parameter “DI1 Configure” to “Seq1” and the parameter “DO1 Configure”
to “SeqOut-01.”
Since control of the sequencer is only needed from the keypad, the configuration of the “Input Mode”
parameter should be “Local Only.”
