Comparison Summary, Standard vs. DeviceNet Series

The Hitachi L100DN DeviceNet Series inverters generally have the same motor control

capability as the standard L100 inverters. However, a few important differences do exist.

The addition of DeviceNet network connectivity to Hitachi inverters is accompanied by

some changes to the available parameters, functions, front panel keypad, and intelligent

terminals. Together, these changes provide a complete inverter solution with DeviceNet

network capability, while removing some features that are generally unused in

networked applications.

TIP: When using the standard L100 Series manual with your L100DN DeviceNet series

inverter, refer to this page for a summary of the exceptions to that manual. Also note that

your L100DN inverter comes with its own Quick Reference Guide (QRG).

DeviceNet Networking Overview

Hitachi L100DN DeviceNet Series inverters are optimized for use on a DeviceNet

network. The inverter can respond to commands such as Run/Stop from a network host

device, for example. L100DN inverters can also drive a motor in stand-alone mode,

without a network connection. In that case, you use the inverter’s keypad or input termi-

nals for Run/Stop commands. However, this addendum will use stand-alone operation

only for initial powerup tests of your L100DN inverter during installation. After the

installation material, the addendum covers network operation in detail.

The diagram below shows L100DN inverters connected to a DeviceNet network. Each

connection is called a node, and the L100DN connects to the network via the 5-pin,

color-coded Phoenix connector on the front panel as shown.

A DeviceNet network supports up to 64 devices, each with their own node address. One

device will be the network master; all other device(s) will be network slaves. The

L100DN inverter will operate as a network slave, as the network master (also called host

computer) will send commands to the slaves.

A factory network such as DeviceNet allows you to integrate devices of many different

types, even from various manufacturers, all into an integrated control system. A common

application that uses DeviceNet is a conveyor line. Typical devices on the network

include a PLC (programmable logic controller) or host computer (such as a PC), inverter

drives to run motors, proximity sensors, limit switches, diverter actuators, barcode

scanners, label printers, and other packaging or shipping devices. Note that Hitachi also

provides the L100DN DeviceNet Series inverters, which can also reside on the

DeviceNet network.

For detailed DeviceNet network configuration instructions, see “Network Control and

Monitoring” on page 39.

L100DN Inverter

Inverter Mounting and Installation

This section describes the L100 Series installation corresponding to Chapter 2, “Inverter

Mounting and Installation,” in the L100 Inverter Instruction Manual.

Orientation to Inverter Features

Please take a few moments to unpack your new L100DN inverter and do these steps:

1. Look for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.

2. Verify the contents of the box include:

a. One L100DN inverter

b. One Addendum for L100DN inverter (read this addendum first!)

c. One L100 Instruction Manual

d. One L100DN Quick Reference Guide

e. One packet of desiccant—discard (not for human consumption)

3. Inspect the specifications label on the side of the inverter. Make sure it matches the

product part number you ordered.

The L100DN DeviceNet Series inverters vary in size according to the current output

rating and motor size for each model number. All feature the same basic keypad and

connector interface for consistent ease of use. The inverter construction has a heat sink at

the back of the housing. The larger models include a fan(s) to enhance heat sink perfor-

mance. The mounting holes are pre-drilled in the heat sink for your convenience. Never

touch the heat sink during or just after operation; it can be very hot.

The electronics housing and front panel are built onto the front of the heat sink. The front

panel has two levels of physical access designed for convenience and safety:

• First-level access – for basic use of inverter, editing parameters, and wiring control

signals or network connection (power ON)

• Second-level access – for wiring the inverter power supply or motor (power OFF)

1. First-level Access – View the unit just as it

came from the box as shown. The four-digit

display can show a variety of performance

parameters. LEDs indicate whether the

display units are Hertz or Amperes. Other

LEDs indicate AC Power (external), Run/

Stop Mode, Program/Monitor Mode,

Module Status, and Network status.

Membrane keys Run and Stop/Reset

control motor operation. And, you can

access the two chassis GND screws on the

metal tab at the bottom of the inverter.

Inverter Mounting and Installation

The FUNC., , , and STR keys allow an operator to access and change the

inverter’s functions and parameter values. The top 8-position connector provides the

interface for logic-level control signals. The bottom 5-position connector is the

DeviceNet interface. It comes with a removable connector for connecting to a DeviceNet

cable. These signals are generally low-voltage in nature and are appropriate for first-

level access.

2. Second-level access – First, ensure no

power source of any kind is connected to

the inverter. If power has been connected,

wait five minutes after powerdown and

verify the Power LED is OFF to proceed.

Then locate the recessed retention screw

on the left side main front panel (it is

along the left hinge area on some models,

or behind the first access door on others).

Use a small screwdriver (Regular or

Phillips) to loosen the screw. Swing the

door around to the right to reveal the

internal components of the drive. The two-

level tiered 12-position terminal block

accepts wires for the power input and

wires to the motor.

NOTE: The 3-terminal connector located on the circuit board behind the hinged front

door can be used to connect DeviceNet network power. See “Step 2 – Connect Network

Devices” on page 43 for more information.

Notice the housing partition that lifts out to

allow full access to the terminals for wiring

as shown. Never operate the inverter drive

with the partition removed or the full access

door opened.

Never directly touch any terminal or circuit

component. This protects you from touching

a n unexpected live circuit, and it protects the

inverter from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

The power and motor connector terminals are

accessible with the removal of the housing

partition. The input power and motor connec-

tions use the lower row of terminals. The

upper row is for connecting dynamic braking

components.

System Description and Basic Installation

The Basic System Description and Step-by-Step Basic Installation sections in Chapter 2

of the standard L100 manual (included) will show you how to choose a mounting

location and wire the inverter’s power input and motor output terminals. Wire gauge,

terminal torque specifications, fuse or breaker size, and many important Warning and

Caution messages are included. So, all of the information you need to physically install

your L100DN DeviceNet inverter is in the standard manual—with the exception of the

dimension drawings, which follow below.

NOTE: After doing the basic installation (physical mounting and power wiring) per the

instructions in Chapter 2 of the L100 manual, be sure to return to this addendum for the

Powerup Test and Front Panel Keypad orientation.

Inverter Mounting and Installation

Powerup Test Overview

After wiring the inverter and motor, you’re ready to do a powerup test. The procedure

that follows is designed for the first-time use of the drive. Please verify the following

conditions before conducting the powerup test:

• You have followed all the steps in this chapter up to this step.

• The inverter is new, and is securely mounted to a non-flammable vertical surface

• The inverter is connected to a power source and motor.

• No additional wiring of inverter connectors or terminals has been done.

• The power supply is reliable, and the motor is a known working unit, and the motor

nameplate ratings match the inverter ratings.

• The motor is securely mounted, and is not connected to any load.

Goals for the Powerup test

If there are any exceptions to the above conditions at this step, please take a moment to

take any measures necessary to reach this basic starting point. The specific goals of this

powerup test are:

1. Verify that the wiring to the power supply and motor is correct.

2. Demonstrate that the inverter and motor are generally compatible.

3. Give a brief introduction to the use of the built-in operator keypad.

The powerup test gives you an important starting point to ensure a safe and successful

application of the Hitachi inverter. We highly recommend performing this test before

proceeding to the other chapters in this manual.

Pre-test and Operational Precautions

The following instructions apply to the powerup test, or to any time the inverter is

powered and operating. Please study the following instructions and messages before

proceeding with the powerup test.

1. The power supply must have fusing suitable for the load. Check the fuse size chart

presented in the inverter manual in Chapter 2, if necessary.

2. Be sure you have access to a disconnect switch for the drive input power if necessary.

However, do not turn OFF power during inverter operation unless it is an emergency.

CAUTION: The heat sink fins will have a high temperature. Be careful not to touch

them. Otherwise, there is the danger of getting burned.

CAUTION: The operation of the inverter can be easily changed from low speed to high

speed. Be sure to check the capability and limitations of the motor and machine before

operating the inverter. Otherwise, there is the danger of injury.

L100DN Inverter

CAUTION: If you operate a motor at a frequency higher than the inverter standard

default setting (50Hz/60Hz), be sure to check the motor and machine specifications with

the respective manufacturer. Only operate the motor at elevated frequencies after getting

their approval. Otherwise, there is the danger of equipment damage and/or injury.

CAUTION: Check the following before and during the powerup test. Otherwise, there is

the danger of equipment damage.

• Is the shorting bar between the [+1] and [+] terminals installed? DO NOT power or

operate the inverter if the jumper is removed.

• Is the direction of the motor rotation correct?

• Did the inverter trip during acceleration or deceleration?

• Were the RPM and frequency meter readings as expected?

• Were there any abnormal motor vibrations or noise?

Powering the Inverter

If you have followed all the steps, cautions and warnings up to this point, you’re ready to

apply power. After doing so, the following events should occur:

• The POWER LED will illuminate.

• The numeric (7-segment) LEDs will display a test pattern, then stop at 0.0.

• The Hz LED will be ON. (This assumes the inverter is in Monitor Mode and is

displaying D_01, the output frequency.)

• The MS (Module Status) and NS (Network Status) LEDs will exhibit a test pattern;

each LED will briefly show green, then red. The ending state of powerup pattern is:

MS = Green; NS = OFF.

If the motor starts running unexpectedly or any other problem occurs, press the STOP

key. Only if necessary should you remove power to the inverter as a remedy.

NOTE: If the inverter has been previously powered and programmed, the LEDs (other

than the POWER LED) may illuminate differently than as indicated above. If necessary,

you can initialize all parameters to the factory default settings. See “Restoring Factory

Default Settings” on page 94 or refer to the L100DN Quick Reference Guide.

Inverter Mounting and Installation

Using the Front Panel Keypad

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the keypad layout shown in the figure

below. These are the visible controls and indicators when the front panel door is closed.

The display is used in programming the inverter’s parameters, as well as monitoring

specific parameter values during operation. Many functions are applicable only during

the initial installation, while others are more useful for maintenance or monitoring.

• Run/Stop LED - ON when the inverter output is ON and the motor is developing

torque (Run Mode), and OFF when the inverter output is OFF (Stop Mode).

• Program/Monitor LED - This LED is ON when the inverter is ready for parameter

editing (Program Mode). It is OFF when the parameter display is monitoring data

(Monitor Mode).

• Run Key Enable LED - is ON when the inverter is ready to respond to the Run key,

OFF when the Run key is disabled.

• Run Key - Press this key to run the motor (the Run Enable LED must be ON first).

Parameter F_04, Keypad Run Key Routing, determines whether the Run key generates

a Run FWD or Run REV command.

• Stop/Reset Key - Press this key to stop the motor when it is running (uses the

programmed deceleration rate). This key will also reset an alarm that has tripped.

• Module Status LED - ON (green) when the inverter has power. The Module Status

LED may also be flashing and/or red in color. For a description of all LED states and

their meanings, see the table in “Step 6 – Monitor Test – Verify Network Host Can

Monitor Inverter” on page 51.

• Network Status LED - ON (green) when the inverter is connected to the network.

The Network Status LED may also be flashing and/or red in color. For a description of

all LED states and their meanings, see the table in “Step 6 – Monitor Test – Verify

Network Host Can Monitor Inverter” on page 51.

• Parameter Display - A 4-digit, 7-segment display for parameters and function codes.

• Display Units, Hertz/Amperes - One of these LEDs will be ON to indicate the units

associated with the parameter display.

• Power LED - This LED is ON when the power input to the inverter is ON.

• Function Key - This key is used to navigate through the lists of parameters and

functions for setting and monitoring parameter values.

• Up/Down ( , ) Keys - Use these keys alternately to move up or down the lists of

parameter and functions shown in the display, and increment/decrement values.

• Store ( ) Key - When the unit is in Program Mode and you have edited a parameter

value, press the Store key to write the new value to the EEPROM.

Keys, Modes, and Parameters

Purpose of the keypad is to provide a way to change modes and parameters. The term

function applies to both monitoring modes and parameters. These are all accessible

through function codes that are primarily 3-character codes. The various functions are

separated into related groups identifiable by the left-most character, as the table shows.

For example, function “A_04” is the base frequency setting for the motor, typically

50 Hz or 60 Hz. To edit the parameter, the inverter must be in Program Mode (PGM

LED will be ON). You use the front panel keys to first select the function code “A_04.”

After displaying the value for “A_04,” use the Up/Down ( or ) keys to edit it.

NOTE: The inverter 7-segment display shows lower case “b” and “d,” meaning the same

as the upper case letters “B” and “D” used in this manual (for uniformity “A to F”).

The inverter automatically switches into Monitor

Mode when you access “D” Group functions. It

switches into Program Mode when you access any

other group, because they all have editable param-

eters. Error codes use the “E” Group, and appear

automatically when a fault event occurs. Refer to

Chapter 6 in the L100 inverter instruction manual

for error code details.

Keypad Navigational Map

The L100DN Series inverter drives have many programmable functions and parameters.

Chapter 3 in the manual will cover these in detail, but you need to access just a few items

to perform the powerup test. The menu structure makes use of function codes and

parameter codes to allow programming and monitoring with only a 4-digit display and a

few keys and LEDs. So, it is important to become familiar with the basic navigational

• select the inverter’s maximum output frequency to the motor

• set the value of parameter F_01 to the output frequency for the powerup test

• select the keypad as the source of the RUN command

The following series of programming tables are designed for successive use. Each table

uses the previous table’s final state as the starting point. Therefore, start with the first and

continue programming until the last one. If you get lost or concerned that some of the

other parameters settings may be incorrect, refer to “Restoring Factory Default Settings”

on page 94.

CAUTION: If you operate a motor at a frequency higher than the inverter standard

default setting (50Hz/60Hz), be sure to check the motor and machine specifications with

the respective manufacturer. Only operate the motor at elevated frequencies after getting

their approval. Otherwise, there is the danger of equipment damage.

Setting the Motor Base Frequency – The motor is designed to operate at a specific AC

frequency. Most commercial motors are designed for 50/60 Hz operation. First, check

the motor specifications. Then follow the steps in the table below to verify the setting or

correct for your motor. DO NOT set it for greater than 50/60 Hz unless the motor

manufacturer specifically approves operation at the higher frequency.

TIP: If you need to scroll through a function or parameter list, press and hold the or

key to auto-increment through the list.

Inverter Mounting and Installation

Select the Keypad for the RUN Command – The RUN command causes the inverter to

accelerate the motor to the selected speed. For local (non-network) inverter control, you

can program the inverter to respond to either the control terminal signal (default) or the

keypad RUN key. Follow the steps in the table below to select the front panel RUN key

as the source for the RUN Command (the table resumes action from the end of the

previous table).

NOTE: When you press the STR key in the last step above (and the display = 02), the

Run Key Enable LED above the RUN key on the keypad will turn ON. This is normal,

and does not mean the motor is trying to run. It means that the RUN key is now enabled.

DO NOT press the RUN key at this time—finish out the programming exercise first.

L100DN Inverter

Set the Output Frequency – Note that the standard L100 Series inverter uses parameter

A_01 Frequency Source Setting to select from sources that include a front panel potenti-

ometer and input terminals. In contrast, the L100DN DeviceNet inverter is optimized for

network control and does not have these two alternate frequency sources. Therefore, the

L100DN does not need (or have) parameter A_01. The default frequency source for the

L100DN is setting F_01 Output Frequency Setting. The frequency setting works in the

following way:

• Operator (local) Control – When using the inverter’s front panel Run and Stop keys to

control the motor, the inverter uses parameter F_01 Output Frequency Setting.

• Network Control – When the inverter is under network control, Run and Stop

commands typically arrive via the network. In this case, you have the additional

option of using the inverter’s parameters (includes F_01 Output Frequency Setting), or

the network host device can send the output frequency setting via the network upon

each network scan. More details are in “Network Control and Monitoring” on

page 39.

This step in the powerup test will set F_01 Output Frequency Setting to 15Hz.

CAUTION: Be sure to set F_01 Output Frequency Setting to a safe value for your motor

and application. The step below only uses 15Hz as an example.

This step concludes the parameter setups for the inverter. You are almost ready to run the

motor for the first time!

TIP: If you became lost during any of these steps, first observe the state of the PRG

LED. Then study the “Keypad Navigational Map” on page 20 to determine the current

state of the keypad controls and display. As long as you do not press the STR key, no

parameters will be changed by keypad entry errors. Note that power cycling the inverter

will not cause it to reset to a particular programming state.

The next section will show you how to monitor a particular parameter from the display.

Then you will be ready to run the motor.

Monitoring Parameters with the Display

After using the keypad for parameter editing, it’s a good

idea to switch the inverter from Program Mode to

Monitor Mode and close the panel door (puts the keys

for parameter editing out of sight). This will also turn

out the PRG LED, and the Hertz or Ampere LED

indicates the display units.

For the powerup test, monitor the motor speed indirectly

by viewing the inverter’s output frequency. The output

frequency must not be confused with base frequency

(50/60 Hz) of the motor, or the carrier frequency (switching frequency of the inverter, in

the kHz range). The monitoring functions are in the “D” list, located near the top left of

the “Keypad Navigational Map” on page 20.

Output frequency (speed) monitor - Resuming the keypad programming from the

previous table, follow the steps in the table below.

When the

d 01 function code appeared, the PRG LED went OFF. This confirms the

inverter is no longer in programming mode, even while you are selecting the particular

monitoring parameter. After pressing the Function key, the display shows the current

speed (is zero at this point).

Running the Motor

If you have programmed all the parameters up to this point, you’re ready to run the

motor! First, review this checklist:

1. DO NOT connect the inverter to the DeviceNet network or supply +24V network

power yet.

2. Verify the Power LED and Module Status (MS) LEDs are ON (green, not flashing). If

not, check the power connections.

3. Verify the Run Key Enable LED is ON. If not, review the programming steps to find

the problem.

4. Verify the PRG LED is OFF. If it is ON, review the instructions above.

5. Make sure the motor is disconnected from any mechanical load.

6. Now, press the RUN key on the keypad. The RUN LED will turn ON.

7. The motor should accelerate to 15.0 Hz, and the display will indicate “15.0.”

8. Press the STOP key to stop the motor rotation.

L100DN Inverter

Powerup Test Observations and Summary

Reading this section will help you make some useful observations when first running the

motor.

Error Codes – If the inverter displays an error code (format is “E x x”), see Chapter 6 in

the L100 instruction manual for instructions on how to interpret and clear the error.

Acceleration and Deceleration - The L100DN inverter has programmable acceleration

and deceleration values. The test procedure left these at the default value, 10 seconds.

You can observe this by setting the potentiometer at about half speed before running the

motor. Then press RUN, and the motor will take 5 seconds to reach a steady speed. Press

the STOP key to see a 5 second deceleration to a stop.

State of Inverter at Stop – If you adjust the motor’s speed to zero, the motor will slow

to a near stop, and the inverter turns the outputs OFF. The high-performance L100DN

can rotate at a very slow speed with high torque output, but not zero (must use servo

systems with position feedback for that feature). This characteristic means you must use

a mechanical brake for some applications.

Interpreting the Display - First, refer to the output frequency display readout. The

maximum frequency setting (parameter A_04) defaults to 50 Hz or 60 Hz (Europe and

United States, respectively) for your application.

Example: Suppose a 4-pole motor is rated for 60 Hz operation, so the inverter is config-

ured to output 60 Hz at full scale. Use the following formula to calculate the RPM.

The theoretical speed for the motor is 1800 RPM (speed of torque vector rotation).

However, the motor cannot generate torque unless its shaft turns at a slightly different

speed. This difference is called slip. So it’s common to see a rated speed of approxi-

mately 1750 RPM on a 60 Hz, 4-pole motor. Using a tachometer to measure shaft speed,

you can see the difference between the inverter output frequency and the actual motor

speed. The slip increases slightly as the motor’s load increases. This is why the inverter

output value is called “frequency,” since it is not exactly equal to motor speed. You can

program the inverter to display output frequency in units more directly related to the load

speed by entering a constant (discussed in Chapter 3 in the L100 instruction manual).

Run/Stop Versus Monitor/Program Modes –

The Run LED on the inverter is ON in Run Mode,

and OFF in Stop Mode. The Program LED is ON

when the inverter is in Program Mode, and OFF for

Monitor Mode. All four mode combinations are

possible. The diagram to the right depicts the

modes and the mode transitions via keypad.

NOTE: Some factory automation devices such as PLCs have alternate Run/Program

modes; the device is in either one mode or the other. In the Hitachi inverter, however,

Run Mode alternates with Stop Mode, and Program Mode alternates with Monitor

Mode. This arrangement lets you program some values while the inverter is operating—

providing flexibility for maintenance personnel.

L100DN Inverter

“C” Group: Intelligent Terminal Functions

Intelligent Input Terminals – The three intelligent input terminals for L100DN

DeviceNet Series inverters have 20 possible option assignments.

NOTE: Terminal [3] can operate as the PTC (thermistor thermal protection) input. Thus,

it has the additional [PTC] terminal input (option code 19) that may be assigned.

The input logic convention is programmable for each of the three inputs. The inputs

default to normally open (active high), but you can select normally closed (active low) in

order to invert the sense of the logic.

Configuring Drive Parameters

To the 15 option codes for standard L100 inverters, L100DN Series inverters remove the

code for the [AT] input, and add the following 7 options:

NOTE: The assignment of [DNT] to an input terminal is optional. It is useful if you

need to switch between DeviceNet network control and local control during running.

Alternatively, you can use parameter P_43 DeviceNet Control Enable, which works

similarly but does not require an input terminal. If assigned, the [DNT] setting has prece-

dence over the P_43 setting. More information is in “Step 7 – Control Test – Verify

Network Host Can Control Inverter” on page 54.

L100DN Inverter

Intelligent Output Terminals – The L100DN DeviceNet Series inverters have 5 of the

6 possible output option assignments for standard L100 inverters ([OD] is removed).

However, note that the alarm relay contact terminals [AL0], [AL1], and [AL2] are not

present on the L100DN DeviceNet Series inverters (so C_24 and C_33 are not present

on L100DN).

The output logic convention is programmable for terminals [11] and [12]. The open-

collector output terminals [11] and [12] default to normally open (active low), but you

can select normally closed (active high) for these terminals in order to invert the sense of

the logic.
