[2-1]Example configuration for parameterising the controller (here: BaseLine D)
Being a component of a machine which includes a speed-variable drive system, the controller needs
to be adjusted to its drive task and the motor. The controller is adjusted by changing parameters
which are saved in the memory module.
Danger!
The parameters can optionally be accessed from the integrated keypad, or the L-force »Engineer«,
or a master control via fieldbus communication:
In general, changing a parameter causes an immediate response in the controller!
• This may lead to undesirable behaviour on the motor shaft if the controller has been
enabled!
• Setpoint sources, for instance, may switch over all of a sudden (e.g. when configuring
the signal source for the main setpoint).
Certain device commands or settings which may cause critical states of drive behaviour
constitute exceptions. Such parameter changes are only possible if the controller is inhibited. Otherwise, a corresponding error message will be issued.
• The USB diagnostic adapter, for instance, can be used for the communication between the PC
(including the L-force »Engineer« software) and the controller, see illustration. The USB diagnostic adapter is the connection between the PC (free USB port) and the controller (diagnostic
interface).
• For fieldbus communication, the 8400 BaseLine C controller is provided with a CANopen interface.
12Lenze · 8400 BaseLine C · Reference manual · DMS 1.6 EN · 01/2014 · TD05
All parameters for controller parameterising or monitoring are saved as so-called "codes".
• The codes are numbered and designated by a "C" in front of the code, e.g. "C002" in the documentation and the keypad display.
• In addition, every code has a name and specific attributes:
• Access type (read, write)
•Data type
• Limit values
• Lenze setting (factory-set scaling)
• For the sake of clarity, some codes contain "subcodes" for saving parameters.
• This manual uses a slash "/" as a separator between code and subcode (e.g. "C115/1").
• In the keypad display, the subcodes are designated by a small "c", e.g. "c001".
• According to their functionality, the parameters are divided into three groups:
Parameter groupExamples
Setting parameters
Parameters for specifying setpoints and for setting device /
monitoring functions.
Configuration parameters
Parameters for configuring signal connections within the device, e.g. assignment of the digital input terminals to the
control inputs of the application.
Diagnostic/Display parameters
Parameters for displaying device-internal process factors,
current actual values, and status messages, e.g. for diagnostic purposes. These are read-only parameters.

After power-off, wait at least three minutes before working on the controller. When removing the memory module, ensure that the controller is deenergised.
If the memory module has been removed and the device is switched on, the connector
pins are live and thus dangerous since the protection against contact is missing.
All parameters of the drive system are saved non-volatilely in the memory module of the controller.
This includes the parameters of the controller and parameters relevant for communication.
The plug-in version is especially suited for
• restoring an application after replacing a device.
• duplicating identical drive tasks within the 8400 BaseLine frequency inverter series, e.g. by
using the optionally available EPM Programmer.
Note!
• When the device is switched on, all parameters are automatically loaded from the memory module to the main memory of the controller.
• The 8400 BaseLine and 8400 motec controllers use the same (grey) memory module.
The memory module can be shifted between these controllers but the controller must

• The memory module is not compatible with the memory modules of the
8400 StateLine and 8400 HighLine controllers.
• If the memory module has been removed, the "PS01" error message appears.
• The memory module is plugged into the EPM slot at the
front of the controller.
• The Lenze setting of the parameters is stored in the memory module.
• The memory module can be preconfigured with customerspecific data.
• The memory module is available as a spare part - without
any data.

Lenze · 8400 BaseLine C · Reference manual · DMS 1.6 EN · 01/2014 · TD05
The memory module must not be plugged in or unplugged during operation.
• The memory module (EPM) is required for operation.
• Full functionality of the memory module is even provided if the power supply has been switched
off and only the electronic components of the controller are externally supplied by a 24 V DC voltage, e.g. via the X4/24E terminal.
• Parameter settings can be saved manually.
• Parameter settings can be loaded manually.
• Parameter changes can be saved automatically.
Replacing the controller
• In the event of a device replacement, the entire parameter data of an axis can be copied to the
replacement device by "taking along" the memory module, so that additional PC or diagnosis
terminal operations are not required.
• When replacing the controller, the versions of the old device and the new device are of importance. Before data are actually transferred, the versions are internally checked. Basically, the following applies:
• Parameter sets of old devices with V 1.0 can be processed on new devices ≥ V1.0
(downward compatibility).
• Parameters of devices with higher versions are not supported on devices with lower versions.
An error message (PS02/PS03) occurs if the parameter set versions of the two devices are not
compatible.
Saving the parameters in the memory module safe against mains failure
Controller parameter changes via the »Engineer«, the integrated keypad, or a master control via
fieldbus communication will be lost after mains switching of the controller unless the settings have
been explicitly saved.
You have various opportunities to prevent a data loss by saving the parameter settings in the memory module:
• Quick saving of all parameters at the push of a button
• Automatic saving of parameter changes
• Manual saving of parameter settings

In the Lenze setting, the V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) with linear characteristic is
set in C006
• The V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) is an motor control for standard frequency inverter applications based on a simple and robust control process which is suitable for
the operation of machines with linear or square-law load torque characteristic (e.g.
fans).
• The parameter settings have been set in advance in such a way that, if the drive controller and 50 Hz asynchronous machine match each other in terms of performance,
the drive controller is immediately ready for operation without any further parameter

3.5.1Activating PC manual control
Stop!
PC manual control must be explicitly activated by the user.
If PC manual control is activated, the controller is inhibited via device command (C002/
16) first.
Note!
For activated PC manual control:
The online connection between the PC and the controller is monitored by the controller.
• If the online connection is interrupted for longer than 2 s, error response "Fault" is triggered, i.e. the motor becomes torqueless and is coasting unless it already is at standstill.
PC manual control transmits all required control and setpoint signals to the motor interface.
• The application is now decoupled from these interfaces, but will be processed as before and remains unchanged.
• It does not matter what type of motor control is set in C006

Via the Speed control tab, simply make the drive rotate in the "Speed follower" operating mode without the need to set control parameters or feedback systems:
How to make the motor rotate in its most basic way:
1. Set the desired speed setpoint in [%] based on the reference speed, e.g. directly in the
Setpoint PC input field or via the slider.
•Via the -- / 0 / ++ buttons, the currently set speed setpoint can be reduced/increased in
steps of 10 percent or set to zero.
•Via the Set setpoint A/B buttons, the speed setpoint can be set to a previously set constant value A/B.
2. To start the speed follower:
Enable the controller via the Enable controller button.
• Please observe that the controller will not be enabled if other sources of controller inhibit (e.g. terminal RFR) are active.
• The enabled controller is now following the selected speed setpoint.
• To avoid shocks or overload in case of great setpoint changes, the speed setpoint follows
a linear ramp generator with adjustable acceleration/deceleration time.
•Via the Inhibit controller button, the controller can be inhibited again, i.e. the motor becomes torqueless and is coasting unless it already is at standstill.

When an online connection has been established, you can simply use the »Engineer« to activate a
device command by selecting the corresponding option from the Parameter tab in C002/x
("0: Off"
or "1: On / start").
• Alternatively, the device command can also be activated via e.g. keypad or through a master

Note!
Device commands that can be executed via the toolbar of the »Engineers« always affect
the element currently selected in the Project view including all subelements!
• If no controller, but e.g. a system module is selected in the Project view, the correspon-
ding device command will be activated in all lower-level controllers having an online
connection with the »Engineer«.
Before the desired action is carried out, a confirmation prompt appears first, asking whether the action is really to be carried out.

If parameter settings are changed in the controller, those changes will be lost after mains switching
of the controller unless the settings have been saved explicitly.
You have various opportunities to prevent a data loss by saving the parameter settings in the memory module:
• Quick saving of all parameters at the push of a button
• Automatic saving of parameter changes
• Manual saving of parameter settings
( 23)
Note!
How to prevent a data loss:
• Do not switch off the supply voltage during the saving process.
• Only unplug the memory module if the device is switched off.
Automatic saving of parameter changes
Stop!
Activating this function is not permissible if parameters are changed very frequently
(e.g. in case of cyclic writing of parameters via a bus system).
The maximum service life of the memory module amounts to one million writing cycles.
Make sure that this value will not be reached.
When you set the selection "1: Active" in C141/1
every parameter change is automatically saved in the memory module. Thus, manual saving of parameter settings is not required anymore.

Tip!
For a better concentricity factor, we recommend to perform motor parameter identification of the third party manufacturer's motor first. The motor parameters can be manually
adapted afterwards.
Improving the concentricity factor includes
• the adjustment of the inverter error characteristic to the drive system and
• the knowledge of the motor cable resistance.
Both factors are determined in the course of motor parameter identification.

The V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) is a motor control mode for standard frequency inverter applications based on a simple and robust control process which is suitable for the operation of machines with linear or square-law load torque characteristic (e.g. fans). Furthermore, this motor
control mode is also suitable for group drives and special motors. Due to the low parameterisation

Sensorless vector control (SLVC)
Sensorless (field-oriented) vector control is based on a decoupled, separate control for the torqueproducing and the field-producing current component. In addition, the actual speed is reconstructed by means of a motor model so that a speed sensor is not required.
Sensorless vector control (SLVC)

In case of the V/f characteristic control (VFCplus), the motor voltage of the inverter is determined by
means of a linear or quadratic characteristic depending on the field frequency or motor speed to be
generated. The voltage follows a preselected characteristic.
Stop!
• The following must be observed when operating drives with quadratic V/f characteristic:
• Please always check whether the corresponding drive is suitable for operation with
a quadratic V/f characteristic!
• If your pump drive or fan drive is not suitable for operation with a quadratic V/f
characteristic, you must use either use the V/f characteristic control function with
a linear V/f characteristic or the sensorless vector control (SLVC).
• For adjustment, observe the thermal performance of the connected asynchronous
motor at low output frequencies.
• Usually, standard asynchronous motors with insulation class B can be operated for
a short time with their rated current in the frequency range 0 Hz ≤ f ≤ 25 Hz.
• Contact the motor manufacturer to get the exact setting values for the max. permissible motor current of self-ventilated motors in the lower speed range.

reasons.
• To avoid overload in the drive train, the torque in motor mode can be limited via the

The switching frequency of the inverter that can be selected in C018 influences the smooth running
performance and the noise generation in the connected motor as well as the power losses in the
controller.
The lower the switching frequency the higher the concentricity factor, the smaller the losses, and
the higher the noise generation.

Exceeding the maximally permissible heatsink temperature would lead to an inhibited drive due to
the "Overtemperature" error and a torquelessly coasting motor. Therefore, if the Lenze setting is selected, the switching frequency is reduced to the next frequency below when the heatsink temperature has risen to 5 °C below the maximally permissible temperature. After the heatsink has cooled
down, the controller automatically switches to the next frequency above until the set switching frequency is reached.

The flying restart circuit uses a simple model of an asynchronous motor which requires knowledge
of the motor stator resistance RS and the rated motor current.
Note!
• For a correct functioning of the flying restart circuit, we recommend to perform a parameter identification first. Automatic motor data identification
• The flying restart function works safely and reliably for drives with great centrifugal
masses.
• Do not use the flying restart function if several motors with different centrifugal masses are connected to a controller.
• After the controller is enabled, the motor can start for a short time or reverse when
machines with low friction and low mass inertia are used.
• The flying restart function serves to identify max. field frequencies up to ±200 Hz.
• When power-adapted standard asynchronous motors are used (rated motor power
approximately corresponds to the rated inverter power), a motor parameter identification is not required.
( 70)
Tip!
In association with the flying restart function, we recommend to read the information provided in this documentation on the following topic:
Automatic DC-injection braking (Auto-DCB)
( 97)
General information
This function serves to activate a mode which is used to "catch" a coasting motor during operation
without speed feedback. This means that the synchronicity between controller and motor is to be
adjusted in such a way that a jerk-free transition to the rotating machines is achieved in the instant
of connection.
The drive controller determines the synchronicity by identifying the synchronous field frequency.
Duration
The "catching" process is completed after approx. 1 ... 2 seconds. The duration is influenced by the
starting value. If the field frequency is not known, we recommend the preset starting value of 10 Hz.

How to parameterise the flying restart function:
1. Activate the flying restart circuit by selecting "1: On" in C990
• Every time the controller is enabled, a synchronisation to the rotating or standing drive
is carried out.
When the Lenze setting is used, most applications do not require additional controller settings.
If additional settings are necessary, proceed as follows:
2. Define the process and hence the speed range/rotational frequency range in C991
to be examined by the flying restart circuit.
• We recommend the Lenze setting "5: -n...+n | Last output frequency"
3. Adjust setting in C992
The preset starting frequency which defines the starting point of the flying restart function
is optimised for standard motors.
• We recommend to define a starting frequency of approximately 20 % of the rated motor
frequency to enable a safe and fast connection to standing drive systems.
4. Set the flying restart current in C994
We recommend setting a flying restart current of 10 % ... 25 % of the rated motor current.
• During a flying restart process, a current is injected into the motor to identify the speed.
• Reducing the current causes a reduction of the motor torque during the flying restart
process. A short-time starting action or reversing of the motor is prevented with low
flying restart currents.
• An increase of the current improves the robustness of the flying restart function.

Holding braking is not possible when this braking mode is used!
DC-injection braking allows the drive to be quickly braked to a standstill without the need to use an
external brake resistor.
• The braking current is set in C036
• The maximum braking torque to be generated by the DC braking current is approx. 20 ... 30 %
of the rated motor torque. It is lower than that for braking in generator mode with an external
brake resistor.
• Automatic DC-injection braking (Auto-DCB) improves the starting performance of the motor
when operated without speed feedback.

DC-injection braking can be manually activated via the bSetDCBrake process input.
• For HIGH-active inputs, DC-injection braking is active as long as the signal is at HIGH level.
•After the hold time ((C107

"Automatic DC-injection braking" (referred to in the following as "Auto-DCB") can be used if there is
a requirement that the drive be isolated from the supply at n
Function
For understanding the auto-DCB function, it is necessary to distinguish between three different types of operation:
A. The drive has been enabled and, in the course of operation, the speed setpoint falls below the
Auto-DCB threshold.
• In case of operation without
auto-DCB hold time (C106
i.e. a controller inhibit (CINH) is set.
B. When the controller is enabled, the drive is at standstill (n = 0).

How to set the automatic DC-injection braking
1. Set a hold time in C106
• Automatic DC-injection braking is active for the time set.
• In case of operation without speed feedback, the braking current set in C036
• After the set hold time has expired, the controller sets a pulse inhibit.

Mechanical oscillations are undesirable effects in every process and they may have an adverse effect
on the single system components and/or the production output.
Mechanical oscillations in the form of speed oscillations are suppressed by the oscillation damping
function.

C234Oscillation damping influence5.00 %
Oscillation damping is successfully used with
• unloaded motors (no-load oscillations)
• motors whose rated power deviates from the rated power of the controller.
• e.g. during operation at high switching frequency including the power derating involved.
• operation with higher-pole motors
• operation with special motors
• compensation of resonance in the drive
• At an output frequency of approx. 20 ... 40 Hz, some asynchronous motors can show resonance which causes current and speed variations and thus destabilise the running operation.
How to eliminate speed oscillations:
1. Approach the area where the speed oscillations occur.
2. Reduce the speed oscillations by changing C234
3. These can be indicators for smooth running:
• Constant motor current characteristic
• Reduction of the mechanical oscillations in the bearing seat
