1.1.1 General ....................................................................................................1
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 explains how to connect an MCH Drive to a LonWorks® network. 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 MCH Installation and Operation Manual (MH01).
LonWorks® technology is a complete platform for implementing control network systems. These networks
consist of intelligent control devices or nodes that interact with their environment and communicate with
each other using a common, message based protocol (LonTalk®). A LonWorks® network can consist of
up to 32,385 nodes divided into 255 subnets (127 nodes/subnet).
2.1 Hardware Description
To connect to a LonWorks® network, the MCH Drive utilizes an Anybus-S® Drive Profile Embedded
Interface Card that supports Version 1.1 of the LonMark® 6010 Functional Profile for Variable Speed Motor
Drives. This Anybus-S LonWorks (ABS-LON®) module is located inside of the bypass or option box that is
attached to the MCH Drive.
The ABS-LON® module communicates according to the LonTalk® protocol. This means that it can
communicate with all LonWorks® nodes that comply with this protocol, but it does not necessarily mean
that all services available in the LonTalk® protocol are supported.
Introduction
The ABS-LON® module uses the FTT-10A (Free Topology Twisted Pair) transceiver from Echelon Corporation.
This is the most commonly used twisted-pair media in building automation and this architecture supports
star, bus and loop wiring. The FTT-10A transceiver connects to a twisted pair cable with a baud rate of 78
kbit/s. The FTT-10A transceiver appears as a high impedance to the network when unpowered, and does
not interfere with network communications when powered down.
Figure 1 identifies the components of the communications module intended for user interaction.

Drive Setup & Programming
3 Drive Setup and Programming
Most drive parameters (including those required for serial communications) are not accessible through the
LonWorks® interface. They can only be accessed by entering the Programming Mode of the drive itself.
Refer to the MCH Installation and Operation Manual (MH01) for more information. The parameter information
in manual MH01 is based on the standard MCH Series Modbus™ Drive. The differences between the drive
programming parameters described in the manual and those that exist in the MCH Series LonWorks®
Drive are explained in sections 3.1-3.4 herein.
3.1 Added Programming Parameters
60 SERIAL TIMEOUT This parameter makes the serial watchdog timeout period selectable.
(Section 3.5)
86 MOTOR RATED SPEED This parameter allows the user to enter the nominal speed of the motor
in RPM. This value is required for LON parameter nvoSpeedActRpm to
function properly. This parameter has a minimum value of 1 RPM and a
maximum value of 65000 RPM. The default is 1800 RPM.
89 MOTOR RATED FREQUENCY This parameter allows the user to enter the nominal frequency of the
motor in Hz. This value is required for many LON parameters (including
nviDrvSpeedStpt and nvoDrvSpeed) to function properly. This parameter
has a minimum value of 0.00 Hz and a maximum value of 650.00 Hz. The
default is 60.00 Hz.
