About These Instructions

This documentation applies to the use of an MC3000 Series Variable Frequency Drive with Metasys N2 protocol and
should be used in conjunction with the MC3000 Series Installation and Operation Manual (Document M301) that
shipped with the drive. These documents should be read in their entirety as they contain important technical data
and describe the installation and operation of the drive.

1 Safety Information

1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes

1.1.1 General

Some parts of Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) can be live, moving
and rotating. Some surfaces can be hot.

Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, and incorrect installation or operation
creates the risk of severe injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance must be
carried out by qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364 and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC report
664 or DIN VDE0110 and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed).

According to this basic safety information, qualified skilled personnel are persons who are familiar with
the installation, assembly, commissioning, and operation of the product and who have the qualifications
necessary for their occupation.

1.1.2 Application

Safety Information

Drive controllers are components designed for installation in electrical systems or machinery. They are
not to be used as appliances. They are intended exclusively for professional and commercial purposes
according to EN 61000-3-2. The documentation includes information on compliance with EN 61000-3-2.

When installing the drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. the starting of operation as directed)
is prohibited until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of the EC Directive 98/37/EC
(Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must be observed.

Commissioning (i.e. starting drive as directed) is only allowed when there is compliance to the EMC Directive
(89/336/EEC).

The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. The harmonised
standards of the series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 apply to the controllers.

The availability of controllers is restricted according to EN 61800-3. These products can cause
radio interference in residential areas. In the case of radio interference, special measures may be
necessary for drive controllers.

1.1.3 Installation

Ensure proper handling and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Do not bend any components and do not
change any insulation distances during transport or handling. Do not touch any electronic components
and contacts. Controllers contain electrostatically sensitive components, which can easily be damaged by
inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since this might endanger
your health! When installing the drive ensure optimal airflow by observing all clearance distances in the
drive's user manual. Do not expose the drive to excessive: vibration, temperature, humidity, sunlight, dust,
pollutants, corrosive chemicals or other hazardous environments.

Safety Information

1.1.4 Electrical Connection

When working on live drive controllers, applicable national regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g.
VBG 4) must be observed.

The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the appropriate regulations (e.g.
cable cross-sections, fuses, PE connection). Additional information can be obtained from the regulatory
documentation.

The regulatory documentation contains information about installation in compliance with EMC (shielding,
grounding, filters and cables). These notes must also be observed for CE-marked controllers.

The manufacturer of the system or machine is responsible for compliance with the required limit values
demanded by EMC legislation.

1.1.5 Operation

Systems including controllers must be equipped with additional monitoring and protection devices according
to the corresponding standards (e.g. technical equipment, regulations for prevention of accidents, etc.).
You are allowed to adapt the controller to your application as described in the documentation.

DANGER!

• After the controller has been disconnected from the supply voltage, do not touch the live

components and power connection until the capacitors have discharged. Please observe the
corresponding notes on the controller.

• Do not continuously cycle input power to the controller more than once every three minutes.

• Close all protective covers and doors during operation.

WARNING!

Network control permits automatic starting and stopping of the inverter drive. The system design
must incorporate adequate protection to prevent personnel from accessing moving equipment
while power is applied to the drive system.

2 Introduction

This document will explain how to operate a Lenze-AC Tech MC3000 Variable Frequency Drive using
Metasys N2 protocol. It is intended as a serial communications supplement only and will not discuss
normal drive operations. For more information regarding normal drive setup and functionality, refer to the
MC3000 Installation and Operation Manual (M301).

2.1 Metasys N2 Communications

MC3000 drives running N2 protocol act as N2 devices on a Metasys® Network and function as slaves only.
Thus the device communicating with an MC3000 drive must be an N2 master. The communication rate is
9600 bps with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 start bit and 1 stop bit. The bit sequence is as follows:

START 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 STOP
