2 Safety instructions

2.1 General safety instructions

 Danger!

Disregarding the following basic safety measures may lead to severe personal
injury and damage to material assets!

ƒ Lenze drive and automation components ...

... must only be used for the intended purpose.
... must never be operated if damaged.
... must never be subjected to technical modifications.
... must never be operated unless completely assembled.
... must never be operated without the covers/guards.
... can − depending on their degree of protection − have live, movable or rotating parts

during or after operation. Surfaces can be hot.

ƒ For Lenze drive components ...

... only use permitted accessories.
... only use original manufacturer spare parts.

ƒ All specifications of the corresponding enclosed documentation must be observed.

This is vital for a safe and trouble−free operation and for achieving the specified product
features.

The procedural notes and circuit details provided in this document are proposals which
the user must check for suitability for his application. The manufacturer does not
accept any liability for the suitability of the specified procedures and circuit proposals.

ƒ Only qualified skilled personnel are permitted to work with or on Lenze drive and

automation components.
According to IEC 60364 or CENELEC HD 384, these are persons ...
... who are familiar with the installation, assembly, commissioning and operation of

the product,
... possess the appropriate qualifications for their work,
... and are acquainted with and can apply all the accident prevent regulations, directives

and laws applicable at the place of use.

Transport, storage

ƒ Transport and storage in a dry, low−vibration environment without aggressive

atmosphere; preferably in the packaging provided by the manufacturer.
– Protect against dust and shocks.
– Comply with climatic conditions according to the technical data.

LDCDS−EL100 EN 8.0

Mechanical installation

ƒ Install the product according to the regulations of the corresponding

documentation. In particular observe the section "Operating conditions" in the
chapter "Technical data".

ƒ Provide for a careful handling and avoid mechanical overload. During handling

neither bend components, nor change the insulation distances.

ƒ The product contains electrostatic sensitive devices which can easily be damaged by

short circuit or static discharge (ESD). Thus, electronic components and contacts
must not be touched unless ESD measures are taken beforehand.

Electrical installation

ƒ Carry out the electrical installation according to the relevant regulations (e. g. cable

cross−sections, fusing, connection to the PE conductor). Additional notes are
included in the documentation.

ƒ When working on live products, observe the applicable national regulations for the

prevention of accidents (e.g. BGV 3).

ƒ The documentation contains information about EMC−compliant installation

(shielding, earthing, arrangement of filters and laying cables). The system or
machine manufacturer is responsible for compliance with the limit values required
by EMC legislation.

Warning: The controllers are products which can be used in category C2 drive systems
as per EN 61800−3. These products may cause radio interference in residential areas. If
this happens, the operator may need to take appropriate action.

ƒ For compliance with the limit values for radio interference emission at the site of

installation, the components − if specified in the technical data − have to be mounted
in housings (e. g. control cabinets). The housings have to enable an EMC−compliant
installation. In particular observe that for example control cabinet doors preferably
have a circumferential metallic connection to the housing. Reduce openings or
cutouts through the housing to a minimum.

ƒ Only plug in or remove pluggable terminals in the deenergised state!

Commissioning

ƒ If required, you have to equip the system with additional monitoring and protective

devices in accordance with the respective valid safety regulations (e. g. law on
technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents).

Maintenance and servicing

ƒ The components are maintenance−free if the required operating conditions are

observed.

ƒ If the cooling air is polluted, the cooling surfaces may be contaminated or the air

vents may be blocked. Under these operating conditions, the cooling surfaces and air
vents must be cleaned at regular intervals. Never use sharp objects for this purpose!

ƒ After the system has been disconnected from the supply voltage, live components

and power connections must not be touched immediately because capacitors may
be charged. Please observe the corresponding notes on the device.

Disposal

ƒ Recycle metals and plastic materials. Ensure professional disposal of assembled

PCBs.

ƒ This device contains a battery. According to European legislation you are obliged to

dispose of batteries separately via the take−back systems specified.

2.2 Product−specific safety instructions

ƒ Before working on the HMI, the supply connector must be unplugged. This is

particularly important before opening the enclosure and connecting/removing
connectors.

ƒ The voltage input is not internally fused and may be destroyed if the input voltage is

too high. Observe the maximally permissible input voltage and professionally fuse
the device on the input side against voltage fluctuations and peaks.

ƒ During installation, see that the maximally permissible ambient temperature is not

exceeded. Corresponding measures for active or passive cooling must be taken if
required.

ƒ The HMI is a device of class A and can cause radio interference in residential areas. In

this case, the operator may have to take special measures. Any costs arising from
these measures have to be paid by the operator.

ƒ In the case of an error, send the HMI to the manufacturer. The address is provided on

the return envelope of this documentation. Please use the original packaging if you
return the HMI!

How to assemble the HMI:

1. Cut the mounting cutout out of the control cabinet door.

2. Assemble the upper screw clamping fixtures (see figure).

3. Check if the gasket under the front panel is located correctly.

4. Insert the device into the mounting cutout, secure it by hand against falling down
and tighten the assembled screw clamping fixtures hand−tight.

5. Secure the device by hand, assemble the remaining screw clamping fixtures and
tighten them hand−tight.

6. Check if the device is securely located in the mounting cutout and if the front panel
gasket is located correctly.

– If necessary, loosen the screw clamping fixtures, re−align the device or gasket and

tighten the screw clamping fixtures hand−tight.

– If the gasket is not located correctly, protection class IP65 is not reached on the

front of the device!

6.1 Important notes

 Stop!

No device protection against excessive input voltage

The voltage input is not fused internally.

Possible consequences:

ƒ The device can be destroyed when the input voltage is too high.

Protective measures:

ƒ Observe the max. permissible input voltage.
ƒ Professionally fuse the device on the input side against voltage fluctuations

and voltage peaks.

6.2 Wiring according to EMC

General notes l The electromagnetic compatibility of the system depends on the type and accuracy of the

installation. Please especially note the following:
– Structure
– Shielding
– Earthing

l In the case of a differing installation it is required for evaluating the conformity to the EMC

Directive to check the system with regard to compliance with the EMC limit values. This for
instance applies to:
– The use of unshielded cables

l The end user is responsible for compliance with the EMC Directive.

– If you observe the following measures, you can be sure that no EMC problems will occur

during operation and that the EMC Directive or the EMC law is met.

– If devices which do not meet the CE requirement with regard to noise immunity

EN 61000−4−2 are actuated near the system, these devices can be affected
electromagnetically by the system.

Structure l Connect device to the earthed mounting plate:

– Mounting plates with an electroconductive surface (zinc−coated or stainless steel) allow for

continuous contacting.

– Coated plates are not suitable for an EMC−compliant installation.

l If you use several mounting plates:

– Connect mounting plates to each other on a large surface and in a conductive manner (e.g.

by means of copper strips).

l When installing the cables, observe a spatial separation of signal and mains cables.
l Route the cables as near to the reference potential as possible. Freely suspended cables act

like aerials.

Shielding l Preferably only use cables with a braid.

l The coverage of the shield should be more than 80%.
l In the case of data lines for a serial coupling, always use metallic or metallised plugs. Connect

the shield of the data line on the connector shell.

Earthing l Earth all metallically conductive components by the use of corresponding cables from a

central earthing point (PE rail).

l Comply with the minimum cross−sections defined in the safety instructions:

– With regard to EMC, however, not the cable cross−section, but the surface of the cable and

of the extensive contacting is decisive.

7.6 UPS functionality

An "EL 1xx PLC" is equipped with an internal UPS which − in the event of a supply voltage
failure − keeps the EL 1xx alive until the values of the retain variables have been saved
fail−safe.

 Note!

The PLC program indicates retain variables by the keyword RETAIN. The value
of these variables remains unchanged both after an uncontrolled and a normal
PLC exit. After restarting the PLC, the values will be available again.

An application example is a unit counter in a production plant which is to
continue counting after a restart.

After a supply voltage failure, the following steps will be carried out automatically:

1. To bridge voltage fluctuations, the system waits for a defined time and sees if the
supply voltage is applied again (delay time = 500 ms).

If the supply voltage is applied again within this time, the system continues operation
as usual.

2. Otherwise, the background light of the display is switched off, the run−time
system/controller is stopped and the CAN telegram only transmits zeros.

3. All retain variables are saved within the buffer time of 2 seconds.

4. After the buffer time, the system checks cyclically whether the supply voltage is
applied again.

When the supply voltage is applied again, the system is restarted.
Otherwise, the system continues running until the buffer capacitors have drained.

The address of e.g. parameter data channel 2 can be calculated as follows:

Address of parameter data channel 2 = Address of parameter data channel 1 + offset 64.

By selecting a value of "0", the bus is "CanOpen" compliant. There is no restriction to the
address range.

SDO timeout [ms]: The time set here defines the time slot a CAN node has to respond to
a request. If there is no response within the set time, the requesting component will
assume that the node is unavailable.

Busscan timeout [ms]: During a bus scan, the system is waiting for the nodes to respond.
On the one hand, the busscan timeout must be large enough to provide all nodes with
sufficient time to respond. On the other hand, the search will be slowing down if the
busscan timeout is too large.

Busscan delay [ms]: Under a heavy CAN bus load, searching the CAN bus for connected
nodes may cause faults. A delay time between the transmission messages can be set to
avoid this situation, thereby causing the search to take more time to finish.

8.3 Creating a PLC sample program

The following description is only valid for types with integrated PLC (EL 1xx PLC).

In the following sections you will find a description of the basics for creating a PLC program
using the Lenze PLC Designer. For more information about the PLC Designer, please see the
online help for the PLC Designer.

The example describes how to program a simple counter, how to create a .sym file and how
to transfer the program to the PLC of the EL 100 PLC.

To follow the steps described in the following sections, the "PLC Designer" software must
have been installed on your system.

8.3.1 General information on PLC programming

Please observe the following when configuring your EL 1xx:

ƒ The variable type LREAL does not exist.

ƒ For direct addresses (%I / Q / M), a natural alignment must be used; i.e.

– BYTEs to any addresses
– 16−bit values (WORD, INT) to even addresses
– 32−bit values (DWORD, DINT) to addresses divisible by 4

ƒ Avoid floating−point operations because they will be emulated and therefore take

much longer than on an X86 with FPU.

ƒ Avoid task runtimes < 100 ms because short task runtimes have disadvantages

regarding visualisation (long reversing times).
