A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of
the product.
1.2 Important safety information. Hazards.
This guide applies to products which control electric motors either
directly (drives) or indirectly (controllers, option modules and other
auxiliary equipment and accessories). In all cases the hazards
associated with powerful electrical drives are present, and all safety
information relating to drives and associated equipment must be
observed.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
Drives and controllers are intended as components for professional
incorporation into complete systems. If installed incorrectly they may
present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltages and currents,
carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control
equipment which can cause injury. Close attention is required to the
electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards either in
normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System
design, installation, commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be
carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and
competence. They must read this safety information and this guide
carefully.
1.3 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is
installed correctly with regard to all instructions given in this guide. They
must give due consideration to the safety of the complete system, so as
to avoid the risk of injury both in normal operation and in the event of a
fault or of reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting
from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect installation of the equipment.
1.4 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
This guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific
EMC standards.
All machinery to be supplied within the European Union in which this
product is used must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC Safety of machinery.
2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
Competence of designers and
installers
1.5 Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous voltage may be present
in any of the following locations:
•AC and DC supply cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and
must not be touched.
The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation
device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate
dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external
option unit.
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in
this guide. Failure to observe the instructions could result in a fire
hazard.
1.6 Stored electrical charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been
energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before
work may continue.
1.7 Mechanical hazards
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or
controller which might result in a hazard, either through their intended
behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application
where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or
allow damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and
where necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for
example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed
control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the
drive functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e.
they must not be used for safety-related functions.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related
application. The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the
complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by
personnel with the required training and experience. The Safe Torque
Off function will only ensure the safety of a machine if it is correctly
incorporated into a complete safety system. The system must be subject
to a risk assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event
is at an acceptable level for the application.
1.8 Access to equipment
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.9 Environmental limits
Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and
use of the equipment must be complied with, including the specified
environmental limits. This includes temperature, humidity,
contamination, shock and vibration. Drives must not be subjected to
excessive physical force.
1.10 Hazardous environments
The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment (i.e. a
potentially explosive environment).

Safety informationProduct informationMechanical installationElectrical installationMulti axis system designTechnical data
1.11 Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be
ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified
speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan
becomes less effective, causing a fire hazard. The motor should be
installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent
fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is
essential that the correct value is entered in the Motor Rated Current
parameter.
1.12 Mechanical brake control
Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated
operation of an external brake with the drive. While both hardware and
software are designed to high standards of quality and robustness, they
are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure
would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect
operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury,
independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be
incorporated.
1.13 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.
1.14 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided in
this Guide. If the installation is poorly designed or other equipment does
not comply with suitable standards for EMC, the product might cause or
suffer from disturbance due to electromagnetic interaction with other
equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
equipment or system into which the product is incorporated complies
with the relevant EMC legislation in the place of use.

2.4 Ratings
2.4.1 Maximum ratings
The drive ratings given below are for maximum 40 °C (104 °F), 1000 m altitude and 8 kHz switching frequency. Derating is required for higher
switching frequencies, ambient temperature >40 °C (104 °F) and higher altitude. For further information, refer to Chapter 6 Technical data on
page 98.
With position feedback sensor
Without position feedback sensor (Sensorless)
As a range of high performance servo drives, the Digitax HD M75X series are initially factory configured for RFC-S mode. The operating mode will
need to be re-configured for AC induction motor control (open loop or RFC-A mode).
2.5.1 RFC- S
Rotor Flux Control for Synchronous (permanent magnet brushless) motors (RFC-S) provides closed loop control with position feedback device.
With position feedback
For use with permanent magnet brushless motors with a feedback device installed.
The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback device to ensure the rotor speed is exactly as demanded.
Absolute position information is required from the feedback device to ensure the output voltage is accurately matched to the back EMF of the motor.
Full torque is available across the entire speed range.
Without position feedback (Sensorless)
For permanent magnet brushless motor control without a feedback device, using current, voltages and key motor parameters for motor control.
2.5.2 Open loop mode
The drive applies power to the motor at frequencies varied by the user. The motor speed is a result of the output frequency of the drive and slip due
to the mechanical load. The drive can improve the speed control of the motor by applying slip compensation. The performance at low speed depends
on whether V/F mode or open loop vector mode is selected.
Open loop vector mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where the drive uses motor parameters to apply the
correct voltage to keep the flux constant under varying load conditions.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 1 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Fixed V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is set by the
user. This mode can be used for multi-motor applications.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 4 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Quadratic V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the square of the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is
set by the user. This mode can be used for running fan or pump applications with quadratic load characteristics or for multi-motor applications. This
mode is not suitable for applications requiring a high starting torque.
2.5.3 RFC-A mode
Rotor Flux Control for Asynchronous (induction) motors (RFC-A) encompasses closed loop vector control with a position feedback device.
With position feedback
For use with induction motors with a feedback device installed. The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback device to ensure
the rotor speed exactly as demanded. Motor flux is accurately controlled at all times to provide full torque all the way down to zero speed.
Without position feedback (Sensorless)
Sensorless mode provides closed loop control without the need for position feedback by using current, voltages and key motor parameters to
estimate the motor speed. It can eliminate instability traditionally associated with open loop control such as operating large motors with light loads at
low frequencies.

3 Mechanical installation
3.1 Safety information
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be referred to the supplier of the
equipment. It is the responsibility of the owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and any external option unit, and the way
in which they are operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or
applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice in the country in which the equipment is used.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive
has been energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors
may fail to discharge, or be prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner
that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors will not be discharged. In this case, consult Nidec Industrial
Automation or their authorized distributor.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who are familiar with the requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is
responsible for ensuring that the end product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used.
Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by trained and authorized personnel, and which
prevents the ingress of contamination. It is designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance with
IEC 60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.
3.2 Planning the installation
The following considerations must be made when planning the installation:
3.2.1 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
3.2.2 Environmental protection
The drive must be protected from:
•Moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and condensation. An anti-condensation heater may be required, which must be switched off
when the drive is running.
•Contamination with electrically conductive material
•Contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or impair airflow over various components
•Temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
•Corrosive gasses
The product is supplied with a vent cover to prevent debris (e.g. wire off-cuts) from entering the drive. The vent cover must be removed before first
power up.
3.2.3 Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified operating temperature being exceeded. Refer to section 3.10 Enclosure sizing
on page 30.
3.2.4 Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions. Electrical installation instructions are given in Chapter 4 Electrical installation on
page 47.
3.2.5 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1, standard for PV inverters) is recommended.
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet requirements which can be summarized for larger enclosures as using materials
meeting at least UL 94 class 5VB at the point of minimum thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure 3-1. Any part of the side which is within the area traced out by the 5° angle is
also considered to be part of the bottom of the fire enclosure.

The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the bottom, must be designed to prevent escape of burning material - either by
having no openings or by having a baffle construction. This means that openings for cables etc. must be sealed with materials meeting the 5VB
requirement, or else have a baffle above. See Figure 3-2 for acceptable baffle construction. This does not apply for mounting in an enclosed electrical
operating area (restricted access) with concrete floor.

3.2.6 Electromagnetic compatibility
Variable speed drives are powerful electronic circuits which can cause electromagnetic interference if not installed correctly with careful attention to
the layout of the wiring.
Some simple routine precautions can prevent disturbance to typical industrial control equipment.
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that electromagnetically sensitive equipment is located nearby, then full precautions
must be observed. The drive has an internal EMC filter, which reduces emissions under certain conditions. If these conditions are exceeded, then the
use of an external EMC filter may be required at the drive inputs, which must be located close to the drives. Space must be made available for the
filters and allowance made for carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in section 4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 61.
3.2.7 Hazardous areas
The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is installed in an approved enclosure and the installation is certified.
3.3 SI Option module installation
Remove the AC/DC power as well as the 24 Vdc supply to the drive before installing / removing the option module. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the product.
Care must be taken when handling the option module interface card to avoid contaminating the gold contacts. Gold contacts must not be
When connecting SI option modules, an additional SI option mounting kit is required, if the drive is not supplied with a SI option mounting kit fitted.

For compact multi axis installations, the rear venting kit allows drives to be vertically mounted one above the other, where this is the case, a minimum
clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) should be maintained between drives.
Figure 3-17 Minimum clearance when vertical mounting
A current derate must be applied to the drive if the rear vent kit is installed. Derating information is provided in section 6.1 Drive technical data on
page 98.
Failure to do so may result in nuisance tripping.
3.10 Enclosure sizing
1. Add the dissipation figures from section 6.1.4 Power dissipation on page 104for each drive that is to be installed in the enclosure.
2. If an external EMC filter is to be used with each drive, add the dissipation figures from section 6.1.28 EMC filter ratings on page 113 for each
external EMC filter that is to be installed in the enclosure.
3. If the braking resistor is to be mounted inside the enclosure, add the average power figures from for each braking resistor that is to be installed in
the enclosure.
4. Calculate the total heat dissipation (in Watts) of any other equipment to be installed in the enclosure.
5. Add the heat dissipation figures obtained above. This gives a figure in Watts for the total heat that will be dissipated inside the enclosure.
Calculating the size of a sealed enclosure
The enclosure transfers internally generated heat into the surrounding air by natural convection (or external forced air flow); the greater the surface
area of the enclosure walls, the better is the dissipation capability. Only the surfaces of the enclosure that are unobstructed (not in contact with a wall
or floor) can dissipate heat.

Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•DC and brake cables, and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Isolation device
The AC and/or DC power supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device before any cover is removed
from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option units.
Safe Torque Off function
The Safe Torque Off function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or any external option units.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC and/or DC power supply has been
disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC and/or DC power supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may
continue. Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible that the
capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals.
Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected to the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC
supply terminals of the drive are connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to give safety isolation.
If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the
drive must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
Permanent magnet motors
Permanent magnet motors generate electrical power if they are rotated, even when the supply to the drive is disconnected. If that happens
then the drive will become energized through its motor terminals. If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the supply is
disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from the drive before gaining access to any live parts.
0V control connections on all frame sizes are internally earthed and cannot be disconnected. Ensure that there is adequate equipotential
bonding between parts of a system with interconnected control wiring.

Star (Y) connected supply
Delta connected supply

Drives are suitable for use on supplies of installation category III and lower, according to IEC 60664-1. This means they may be connected
permanently to the supply at its origin in a building, but for outdoor installation additional over-voltage suppression (transient voltage surge
suppression) must be provided to reduce category IV to category III.
Operation with IT (ungrounded) supplies:
Special attention is required when using internal or external EMC filters with ungrounded supplies, because in the event of a ground (earth)
fault in the motor circuit the drive may not trip and the filter could be over-stressed. In this case, either the filter must not be used (removed)
or additional independent motor ground fault protection must be provided. Refer to Table 4-3. For instructions on removal, refer to
section 4.10.3 Internal EMC filter on page 65. For details of ground fault protection contact the supplier of the drive.

A ground fault in the supply has no effect in any case. If the motor must continue to run with a ground fault in its own circuit then an input isolating
transformer must be provided and if an EMC filter is required it must be located in the primary circuit.
Unusual hazards can occur on ungrounded supplies with more than one source, for example on ships. Contact the supplier of the drive for more
information.
4.2.2 Line reactors
Input line reactors reduce the risk of damage to the drive resulting from poor phase balance or severe disturbances on the supply network.
Where line reactors are to be used, reactance values of approximately 2 % are recommended. Higher values may be used if necessary, but may
result in a loss of drive output (reduced torque at high speed) because of the voltage drop.
For all drive ratings, 2 % line reactors permit drives to be used with a supply imbalance of up to 3.5 % negative phase sequence (equivalent to 5 %
voltage imbalance between phases).
Severe disturbances may be caused by the following factors, for example:
•Power factor correction equipment connected close to the drive.
•Large DC drives having no or inadequate line reactors connected to the supply.
•Direct-on-line started motor(s) connected to the supply such that when any of these motors are started, the voltage dip exceeds 20 %.
Such disturbances may cause excessive peak currents to flow in the input power circuit of the drive. This may cause nuisance tripping, or in extreme
cases, failure of the drive.
Drives of low power rating may also be susceptible to disturbance when connected to supplies with a high rated capacity.
When required, each drive must have its own reactor(s). Three individual reactors or a single three-phase reactor should be used.
Reactor current ratings
Continuous current:
Not less than the continuous input current rating of the drive
Repetitive peak current:
Not less than three times the continuous input current rating of the drive

4.5 Low voltage operation
The drive is able to operate from a low voltage DC supply with a range from 24 Vdc to the maximum DC volts.It is possible for the drive to go from
operating on a normal line power supply voltage to operating on a much lower supply voltage without interruption.
Going from low voltage operation to normal mains operation requires the inrush current to be controlled. This may be provided externally. If not, the
drive supply can be interrupted to utilise the normal soft starting method in the drive.
To fully exploit the new low voltage mode of operation, the under voltage trip level is now user programmable. For application data, contact the
supplier of the drive.
The working voltage range of the low voltage DC power supply is as follows:
Minimum continuous operating voltage: 26 V

4.7 Output circuit and motor protection
The output circuit has fast-acting electronic short-circuit protection which limits the fault current to typically no more than five times the rated output
current, and interrupts the current in approximately 20 µs. No additional short-circuit protection devices are required.
The drive provides overload protection for the motor and its cable. For this to be effective, Rated Current (05.007) must be set to suit the motor
Rated Current (05.007) must be set correctly to avoid a risk of fire in the event of motor overload.
There is also provision for the use of a motor thermistor to prevent over-heating of the motor, e.g. due to loss of cooling.
4.7.1Motor cable types
Since capacitance in the motor cable causes loading on the output of the drive, ensure the cable length does not exceed the values given in Table 4-
8.
Cable sizes are given for guidance only and may be changed depending on the application and the method of installation of the cables.
The mounting and grouping of cables affect their current capacity, in some cases a larger cable is required to avoid excessive temperature or voltage
drop.
The recommended output cable sizes assume that the motor maximum current matches that of the drive. Where a motor of reduced rating is used the
cable rating may be chosen to match that of the motor. To ensure that the motor and cable are protected against overload, the drive must be
programmed with the correct motor rated current (Pr 05.007).
•Cable lengths in excess of the specified values may be used only when special techniques are adopted; refer to the supplier of the drive.

4.7.2 High-capacitance / reduced diameter cables
The maximum cable length is reduced from that shown in Table 4-8 if high capacitance or reduced diameter motor cables are used.
Most cables have an insulating jacket between the cores and the armor or shield; these cables have a low capacitance and are recommended.
Cables that do not have an insulating jacket tend to have high capacitance; if a cable of this type is used, the maximum cable length is half that
quoted in the tables, (Figure 4-7 shows how to identify the two types).
Figure 4-7 Cable construction influencing the capacitance
The maximum motor cable lengths specified in Table 4-8are shielded and contain four cores. Typical capacitance for this type of cable is 130 pF/m
(i.e. from one core to all others and the shield connected together).
4.7.3 Motor winding voltage
The PWM output voltage can adversely affect the inter-turn insulation in the motor. This is because of the high rate of change of voltage, in
conjunction with the impedance of the motor cable and the distributed nature of the motor winding.
For normal operation with AC supplies up to 500 Vac and a standard motor with a good quality insulation system, there is no need for any special
precautions. In case of doubt the motor supplier should be consulted. Special precautions are recommended under the following conditions, but only
if the motor cable length exceeds 10 m:
•Operation of 400 V drive with continuous or very frequent sustained braking
•Multiple motors connected to a single drive
It is recommended that an inverter-rated motor be used taking into account the voltage rating of the inverter. This has a reinforced insulation system
intended by the manufacturer for repetitive fast-rising pulsed voltage operation.
If it is not practical to use an inverter-rated motor, an output choke (inductor) should be used. The recommended type is a simple iron-cored
component with a reactance of about 2 %. The exact value is not critical. This operates in conjunction with the capacitance of the motor cable to
increase the rise-time of the motor terminal voltage and prevent excessive electrical stress.

4.7.4 / motor operation
The voltage rating for and connections of the motor should always be checked before attempting to run the motor.
The default setting of the motor rated voltage parameter is the same as the drive rated voltage, i.e.
400 V drive 400 V rated voltage
230 V drive 230 V rated voltage
A typical 3 phase motor would be connected in
690 V
400 V. Incorrect connection of the windings will cause severe under or over fluxing of the motor, leading to a very poor output torque or
for 400 V operation or for 230 V operation, however, variations on this are common e.g.
motor saturation and overheating respectively.
4.7.5 Output contactor
If the cable between the drive and the motor is to be interrupted by a contactor or circuit breaker, ensure that the drive is disabled before
the contactor or circuit breaker is opened or closed. Severe arcing may occur if this circuit is interrupted with the motor running at high
current and low speed.
A contactor is sometimes required to be installed between the drive and motor for safety purposes.
The recommended motor contactor is the AC3 type.
Switching of an output contactor should only occur when the output of the drive is disabled.
Opening or closing of the contactor with the drive enabled will lead to:
1. OI ac trips (which cannot be reset for 10 seconds)
2. High levels of radio frequency noise emission
3. Increased contactor wear and tear
The STO1, STO2 terminal when opened, provides a Safe Torque Off function. This can in many cases replace output contactors.
For further information see the relevant Digitax HD M75XControl User Guide.
4.8 Braking
Braking occurs when the drive is decelerating the motor, or is preventing the motor from gaining speed due to mechanical influences. During braking,
energy is returned to the drive from the motor.
When motor braking is applied by the drive, the maximum regenerated power that the drive can absorb is equal to the power dissipation (losses) of
the drive.
When the regenerated power is likely to exceed these losses, the DC bus voltage of the drive increases. Under default conditions, the drive brakes
the motor under PI control, which extends the deceleration time as necessary in order to prevent the DC bus voltage from rising above a user defined
set-point.
If the drive is expected to rapidly decelerate a load, or to hold back an overhauling load, a braking resistor must be installed.
Table 4-9 shows the default DC voltage level at which the drive turns on the braking transistor. However the braking resistor turn on and the turn off
voltages are programmable with Braking IGBT Lower Threshold (06.073) and Braking IGBT Upper Threshold (06.074).
Table 4-9 Default braking transistor turn on voltage
Drive voltage ratingDC bus voltage level
200 V390 V
400 V780 V
When a braking resistor is used, Pr 02.004 should be set to Fast ramp mode.
4.8.1 Compact braking resistor
A resistor has been designed to be mounted on the side of the drive.
See section 3.13.1 Compact braking resistor on page 32 for mounting details. The design of the resistor is such that no thermal protection circuit is
required, as the device will fail safety under fault conditions. The in built software overload protection is set-up at default for the designated compact
resistor. The compact resistor is not supplied with the drive and can be purchased separately, refer to section 2.8 Installation and system accessories
on page 14.
Side by side mounting is still permissible with compact braking resistor fitted.
Table 4-10 provides the compact braking resistor data.
High temperatures
Braking resistors can reach high temperatures. Locate braking resistors so that damage cannot result. Use cable having insulation capable

Thermal protection
When an external braking resistor is used, it is essential that a thermal protection device is incorporated in the braking resistor circuit.
When a braking resistor is to be mounted outside the enclosure, ensure that it is mounted in a ventilated metal housing that will perform the following
functions:
•Prevent inadvertent contact with the resistor
•Allow adequate ventilation for the resistor
When compliance with EMC emission standards is required, external connection requires the cable to be armored or shielded, since it is not fully
contained in a metal enclosure. See section 4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 61 for further details.
Internal connection does not require the cable to be armored or shielded.

For high-inertia loads or under continuous braking, the continuous power dissipated in the braking resistor may be as high as the power rating of the
drive. The total energy dissipated in the braking resistor is dependent on the amount of energy to be extracted from the load.
The instantaneous power rating refers to the short-term maximum power dissipated during the on intervals of the pulse width modulated braking
control cycle. The braking resistor must be able to withstand this dissipation for short intervals (milliseconds). Higher resistance values require
proportionately lower instantaneous power ratings.
In most applications, braking occurs only occasionally. This allows the continuous power rating of the braking resistor to be much lower than the
power rating of the drive. It is therefore essential that the instantaneous power rating and energy rating of the braking resistor are sufficient for the
most extreme braking duty that is likely to be encountered. Optimization of the braking resistor requires careful consideration of the braking duty.
Select a value of resistance for the braking resistor that is not less than the specified minimum resistance. Larger resistance values may give a cost
saving. Braking capability will then be reduced, which could cause the drive to trip during braking if the value chosen is too large.
The following external brake resistors are available from the supplier of the drive for all frame sizes.

Pr 10.061 in section 4.8.3 Braking resistor software overload protection on page 60 for more information.
Thermal protection circuit for the braking resistor
The thermal protection circuit must disconnect the AC supply from the drive if the resistor becomes overloaded due to a fault. Figure 4-8 shows a
typical circuit arrangement.

Digitax HD M75X Series Installation and Technical Guide59
Issue Number: 5
Safety informationProduct informationMechanical installationElectrical installationMulti axis system designTechnical data
The drive software contains an overload protection function for a braking resistor. In order to enable and set-up this function, it is necessary to enter
three values into the drive:
•Braking Resistor Rated Power (10.030)
•Braking Resistor Thermal Time Constant (10.031)
•Braking Resistor Resistance (10.061)
This data should be obtained from the manufacturer of the braking resistor.
The brake resistor thermal time constant (Pr 10.031) is used to limit the energy dissipated in a resistor when braking overload energy. For the Digitax
HD M75X drives, the brake resistor thermal time constant should be set to a maximum of 2 seconds. This will protect both the drive and the brake
resistor from excessive temperatures. Full overload and continuous braking levels are achievable with this setting.
Pr 10.039 gives an indication of braking resistor temperature based on a simple thermal model. Zero indicates the resistor is close to ambient and
100 % is the maximum temperature the resistor can withstand. A ‘Brake Resistor’ alarm is given if this parameter is above 75 % and the braking IGBT
is active. A Brake R Too Hot trip will occur if Pr 10.039 reaches 100 %, when Pr 10.037 is set to 0 (default value) or 1.
If Pr 10.037 is equal to 2 or 3, a Brake R Too Hot trip will not occur when Pr 10.039 reaches 100 %, but instead the braking IGBT will be disabled until
Pr 10.039 falls below 95 %. This option is intended for applications with parallel connected DC buses where there are several braking resistors, each
of which cannot withstand full DC bus voltage continuously. With this type of application it is unlikely the braking energy will be shared equally
between the resistors because of voltage measurement tolerances within the individual drives. Therefore with Pr 10.037 set to 2 or 3, then as soon as
a resistor has reached its maximum temperature the drive will disable the braking IGBT, and another resistor on another drive will take up the braking
energy. Once Pr 10.039 has fallen below 95 % the drive will allow the braking IGBT to operate again.
See the Parameter Reference Guide for more information on Pr 10.030, Pr 10.031, Pr 10.037 and Pr 10.039.
This software overload protection should be used in addition to an external overload protection device.
4.9 Ground leakage (PE current)
The ground leakage current depends upon whether the internal EMC filter is installed or not. The drive is supplied with the filter installed. Instructions
for disconnecting the internal filter are given in section 4.10.3 Internal EMC filter on page 65.

switching frequency of 8 kHz having the motor frame only connected to the ground potential through the motor cable. Refer to the Digitax HD M75X
series EMC data sheet, available from the supplier of the drive.
When the internal filter is installed the leakage current is above 3.5 mA. In this case a permanent fixed, low impedance, low inductance
ground connection between the drive’s metal frame and PE must be provided, or other suitable measures taken to prevent a safety hazard
occurring if the connection is lost.
4.9.1 Use of residual current device (RCD)
There are three common types of ELCB / RCD:
1. AC - detects AC fault currents
2. A - detects AC and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC current reaches zero at least once every half cycle)
3. B - detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC fault currents
•Type AC should never be used with drives
•Type A can only be used with single phase drives
60 Digitax HD M75X Series Installation and Technical Guide
Issue Number: 5
Safety informationProduct informationMechanical installationElectrical installationMulti axis system designTechnical data
WARNING
•Type B must be used with three phase drives
Only type B ELCB / RCD are suitable for use with 3 phase inverter drives.
If an external EMC filter is used, a delay of at least 50 ms should be incorporated to ensure spurious trips are not seen. The leakage current is likely
to exceed the trip level if all of the phases are not energized simultaneously.
Ground leakage current will increase when operating on a single phase supply, it may be necessary therefore to disconnect the internal EMC filter to
ensure spurious RCD trips are not seen. Instructions for disconnecting the Internal EMC filter are given in section 4.10.3 Internal EMC filter on
page 65.
4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
The requirements for EMC are divided into three levels in the following three sections:
•Section 4.10.4 General requirements for EMC Ground (earth) connections, this is for all applications, to ensure reliable operation of the drive and
minimise the risk of disturbing nearby equipment. The immunity standards specified in section 4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 61 will be met, but no specific emission standards are applied.
•Section 4.10.6 Compliance with EN 61800-3:2004+A1:2012 (standard for Power Drive Systems), Requirements for meeting the EMC standard
for power drive systems, IEC 61800-3 (EN 61800-3:2004+A1:2012).
•Section 4.10.7 Compliance with generic emission standards, Requirements for meeting the generic emission standards for the industrial
environment, IEC 61000-6-4, EN 61000-6-4:2007+A1:2011.
The recommendations of section 4.10.4 will usually be sufficient to avoid causing disturbance to adjacent equipment of industrial quality. If particularly
sensitive equipment is to be used nearby, or in a non-industrial environment, then the recommendations of section 4.10.6 or section 4.10.7 should be
followed to give reduced radio-frequency emission.
In order to ensure the installation meets the various emission standards described in:
•The EMC data sheet available from the supplier of the drive.
•The Declaration of Conformity at the front of this manual.
•Chapter 6 Technical data on page 98.
The correct external EMC filter must be used and all of the guidelines in section 4.10.4 General requirements for EMC Ground (earth) connections on
page 67 and section 4.10.7 Compliance with generic emission standards on page 69 must be followed.

The installer of the drive is responsible for ensuring compliance with the EMC regulations that apply in the country in which the drive is to be used.
4.10.2 Grounding hardware
The drive is supplied with a cable screen bracket to facilitate EMC compliance. The bracket provides a convenient method for direct grounding of
cable shields without the use of “pig-tails”. Cable shields can be bared and clamped to the cable screen bracket using metal clips or cable ties. Note
that, where applicable, the shield must in all cases be continued through the cable screen bracket to the intended terminal on the drive, in accordance
with the connection details for the specific signal.

WARNING

4.10.3 Internal EMC filter
It is recommended that the internal EMC filter be kept in place unless there is a specific reason for disconnecting it.
The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emissions into the line power supply. Where the motor cable is short, it permits the requirements of
EN 61800-3:2004+A1:2012 to be met for the second environment.
For longer motor cables, the filter continues to provide a useful reduction in emission level, and when used with any length of shielded cable up to the
limit of the drive, it is unlikely that nearby industrial equipment will be disturbed. It is recommended that the filter be used in all applications unless the
ground leakage current is unacceptable or the above conditions are true.
The supply must be disconnected before disconnecting the internal EMC filter.

4.10.6 Compliance with EN 61800-3:2004+A1:2012 (standard for Power Drive Systems)
Meeting the requirements of this standard depends on the environment that the drive is intended to operate in, as follows:
Operation in the first environment
Observe the guidelines given in Section 4.10.7 Compliance with generic emission standards. An external EMC filter will always be required.
This is a product of the restricted distribution class according to IEC 61800-3.
In a residential environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Operation in the second environment
In all cases a shielded motor cable must be used, and an EMC filter is required for all drives with a rated input current of less than 100 A.
The drive contains an in-built filter for basic emission control. In some cases feeding the motor cables (U, V and W) once through a ferrite ring can
maintain compliance for longer cable lengths.
Depending on the level of compliance required, motor cable length and inverter switching frequency, an external EMC filter may or may not be
needed; refer to section 6.1.26 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) on page 110 for more information.
For longer motor cables, an external filter is required. Where a filter is required, follow the guidelines in section 4.10.7 Compliance with generic emission standards on page 69.
Where a filter is not required, follow the guidelines given in section 4.10.4 General requirements for EMC Ground (earth) connections on page 67.
The second environment typically includes an industrial low-voltage power supply network which does not supply buildings used for
residential purposes. Operating the drive in this environment without an external EMC filter may cause interference to nearby electronic
equipment whose sensitivity has not been appreciated. The user must take remedial measures if this situation arises. If the consequences
of unexpected disturbances are severe, it is recommended that the guidelines in Section 4.10.7 Compliance with generic emission standards be adhered to.
Refer to section 4.10 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 61 for further information on compliance with EMC standards and definitions of
environments.
Detailed instructions and EMC information are given in the Digitax HD M75XEMC Data Sheet which is available from the supplier of the drive.
4.10.7 Compliance with generic emission standards
Use the recommended filter and shielded motor cable. Observe the layout rules given in Figure 4-18 and Figure 4-19. Ensure the AC supply and
ground cables are at least 100 mm from the power module and motor cable.

A complete 360 termination of the shield to the terminal housing of the motor is beneficial.
From an EMC consideration it is irrelevant whether the motor cable contains an internal (safety) ground core, or if there is a separate external ground
conductor, or where grounding is through the shield alone. An internal ground core will carry a high noise current and therefore it must be terminated
as close as possible to the shield termination.
Figure 4-21 Grounding the motor cable shield
Unshielded wiring to the optional braking resistor(s) may be used provided the wiring runs internally to the enclosure. Ensure a minimum spacing of
300 mm (12 in) from the signal wiring and the AC supply wiring to the external EMC filter. If this condition cannot be met then the wiring must be
shielded.
Figure 4-22 Shielding requirements of optional external braking resistor
If the control wiring is to leave the enclosure, it must be shielded and the shield(s) clamped to the drive using the cable screen bracket as shown in
Figure 4-20. Remove the outer insulating cover of the cable to ensure the shield(s) make direct contact with the bracket, but keep the shield(s) intact
until as close as possible to the terminals. Alternatively, wiring may be passed through a ferrite ring, part number 3225-1004.
4.10.8 Variations in the EMC wiring
Interruptions to the motor cable
The motor cable should ideally be a single length of shielded or armored cable having no interruptions. In some situations it may be necessary to
interrupt the cable, as in the following examples:
•Connecting the motor cable to a terminal block in the drive enclosure
•Installing a motor isolator / disconnect switch for safety when work is done on the motor
In these cases the following guidelines should be followed.
Terminal block in the enclosure
The motor cable shields should be bonded to the back-plate using un-insulated metal cable-clamps which should be positioned as close as possible

Using a motor isolator / disconnect-switch
The motor cable shields should be connected by a very short conductor having a low inductance. The use of a flat metal coupling-bar is
recommended; conventional wire is not suitable.
The shields should be bonded directly to the coupling-bar using un-insulated metal cable-clamps. Keep the length of the exposed power conductors
to a minimum and ensure that all sensitive equipment and circuits are at least 0.3 m (12 in) away.
The coupling-bar may be grounded to a known low-impedance ground nearby, for example a large metallic structure which is connected closely to the
drive ground.

4.10.9 Surge immunity of control circuits - long cables and connections outside a building
The input/output ports for the control circuits are designed for general use within machines and small systems without any special precautions.
These circuits do not meet the requirements of EN 61000-6-2:2005 (1 kV surge) without external protection.
In applications where they may be exposed to high-energy voltage surges, some special measures may be required to prevent malfunction or
damage. Surges may be caused by lightning or severe power faults in association with grounding arrangements which permit high transient voltages
between nominally grounded points. This is a particular risk where the circuits extend outside the protection of a building.
As a general rule, if the circuits are to pass outside the building where the drive is located, or if cable runs within a building exceed 30 m, some
additional precautions are advisable. One of the following techniques should be used:
1. Shielded cable with additional power ground bonding. The cable shield may be connected to ground at both ends, but in addition the ground
conductors at both ends of the cable must be bonded together by a power ground cable (equipotential bonding cable) with cross-sectional area of at
least 10 mm
current passes mainly through the ground cable and not in the signal cable shield. If the building or plant has a well-designed common bonded
network this precaution is not necessary.
2. Additional over-voltage suppression - for the analog and digital inputs and outputs, a zener diode network or a commercially available surge
suppressor may be connected in parallel with the input circuit as shown in Figure 4-25 and Figure 4-26.
If a digital port experiences a severe surge its protective trip may operate (I/O Overload trip). For continued operation after such an event, the trip can
be reset automatically by setting Pr 10.034 to 5.

Surge suppression devices are available as rail-mounting modules, e.g. from Phoenix Contact:
Unipolar TT-UKK5-D/24 DC
Bipolar TT-UKK5-D/24 AC
These devices are not suitable for encoder signals or fast digital data networks because the capacitance of the diodes adversely affects the signal.
Most encoders have galvanic isolation of the signal circuit from the motor frame, in which case no precautions are required. For data networks, follow
the specific recommendations for the particular network.

4.12 Position feedback connections
The following functions are provided via the 15-way high density D-type
connector on the drive:
•Two position feedback interfaces (P1 and P2).
•One encoder simulation output.
•Two freeze trigger inputs (marker inputs).
•One thermistor input.
The P1 position interface is always available but the availability of the P2
position interface and the encoder simulation output depends on the
position feedback device used on the P1 position interface, as shown in
Table 4-18.

The priority of the position feedback interfaces and the encoder simulation output on the 15-way D-type is assigned in the following order from the
highest priority to the lowest.
•P1 position interface (highest)
•Encoder simulation output
•P2 position interface (lowest)
For example, if an AB Servo type position feedback device is selected for use on the P1 position interface, then both the encoder simulation output
and the P2 position interface will not be available as this device uses all connections of the 15-way D-type connector. Also, if an AB type position
feedback device is selected for use on the P1 position interface and Pr 03.085 is set to a valid source for the encoder simulation output, then the P2
position interface will not be available.
Depending on the device type used on the P1 position interface, the encoder simulation output may not be able support a marker pulse output (e.g.
SC EnDat or SC SSI device types). Pr 03.086 shows the status of the encoder simulation output indicating whether the output is disabled, no marker
pulse is available or full encoder simulation is available.
When using the P1 and P2 position interfaces and the encoder simulation output together, the P2 position interface uses alternative connections on
the 15-way D-type connector. Pr 03.172 shows the status of the P2 position interface and indicates if alternative connections are being used for the
P2 position interface.

4.13.3 Digitax HD M751 Isolation of the EIA-485
serial communications port
The serial communications port is double insulated from the high voltage
drive circuits and meets the requirements for PELV (Protective Extra
Low Voltage) according to IEC61800-5-1. The communications ports
remain referenced to other PELV rated circuits within the drive (including
the control, feedback and digital I/O). Where further isolation from these
PELV rated circuits is required and additional external isolation barrier
will be required.
In order to meet the requirements for SELV in IEC60950 (IT
equipment) it is necessary for the control computer to be
grounded. Alternatively, when a lap-top or similar device is
used which has no provision for grounding, an isolation
device must be incorporated in the communications lead.
An isolated serial communications lead has been designed to connect
the drive to IT equipment (such as laptop computers), and is available
from the supplier of the drive. See below for details:
Table 4-24 Isolated serial comms lead details
Part numberDescription
4500-0096USB Comms cable
The “isolated serial communications” lead has reinforced insulation as
defined in IEC60950 for altitudes up to 3,000 m.
4.13.4 Communication networks and cabling
Any isolated signal circuit has the capability to become live through
accidental contact with other conductors; as such they should always be
double-insulated from live parts. The routing of network and signal wires
should be done so as to avoid close proximity to mains voltage cabling.
4.14 Safe Torque Off (STO)
The Safe Torque Off function provides a means for preventing the drive
from generating torque in the motor, with a very high level of integrity. It
is suitable for incorporation into a safety system for a machine. It is also
suitable for use as a conventional drive enable input.
The safety function is active when the STO input is in the logic-low state
as specified in the control terminal specification. The function is defined
according to EN 61800-5-2 and IEC 61800-5-2 as follows. (In these
standards a drive offering safety-related functions is referred to as a
PDS(SR)):
'Power that can cause rotation (or motion in the case of a linear motor) is
not applied to the motor. The PDS(SR) will not provide energy to the
motor which can generate torque (or force in the case of a linear motor)'
This safety function corresponds to an uncontrolled stop in accordance
with stop category 0 of IEC 60204-1.
The Safe Torque Off function makes use of the special property of an
inverter drive with an induction motor, which is that torque cannot be
generated without the continuous correct active behaviour of the inverter
circuit. All credible faults in the inverter power circuit cause a loss of
torque generation.
Note on the use of servo motors, other permanent-magnet motors,
reluctance motors and salient-pole induction motors:
When the drive is disabled through Safe Torque Off, a possible
(although highly unlikely) failure mode is for two power devices in the
inverter circuit to conduct incorrectly.
This fault cannot produce a steady rotating torque in any AC motor. It
produces no torque in a conventional induction motor with a cage rotor.
If the rotor has permanent magnets and/or saliency, then a transient
alignment torque may occur. The motor may briefly try to rotate by up to
180° electrical, for a permanent magnet motor, or 90° electrical, for a
salient pole induction motor or reluctance motor. This possible failure
mode must be allowed for in the machine design.
The Safe Torque Off function is fail-safe, so when the Safe Torque Off
input is disconnected the drive will not operate the motor, even if a
combination of components within the drive has failed. Most component
failures are revealed by the drive failing to operate. Safe Torque Off is
also independent of the drive firmware. This meets the requirements of
the following standards, for the prevention of operation of the motor.
Machinery Applications
The Safe Torque Off function is suitable for use as a safety component
of a machine:

The design of safety-related control systems must only be
done by personnel with the required training and experience.
The Safe Torque Off function will only ensure the safety of a
machine if it is correctly incorporated into a complete safety
system. The system must be subject to a risk assessment to
confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at an
acceptable level for the application.
Safe Torque Off inhibits the operation of the drive, this
includes inhibiting braking. If the drive is required to provide
both braking and Safe Torque Off in the same operation (e.g.
for emergency stop) then a safety timer relay or similar device

provided by an electronic circuit which is not fail-safe. If
braking is a safety requirement, it must be supplemented by
an independent fail-safe braking mechanism.
Two-channel Safe Torque Off
Models Digitax HD M75X have dual channel STO.
The dual channel STO has two fully independent channels.
Each input meets the requirements of the standards as defined above.
Safe Torque Off does not provide electrical isolation.
The supply to the drive must be disconnected by an approved
isolation device before gaining access to power connections.
If either or both inputs are set at a logic low state, there are no single
faults in the drive which can permit the motor to be driven.
It is not necessary to use both channels to meet the requirements of the
standards. The purpose of the two channels is to allow connection to
machine safety systems where two channels are required, and to
facilitate protection against wiring faults.
For example, if each channel is connected to a safety-related digital
output of a safety related controller, computer or PLC, then on detection
It is essential to observe the maximum permitted voltage of
5 V for a safe low (disabled) state of Safe Torque Off. The
connections to the drive must be arranged so that voltage
drops in the 0V wiring cannot exceed this value under any
loading condition. It is strongly recommended that the Safe
Torque Off circuit be provided with a dedicated 0V conductor
which should be connected to either terminals 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 or
15 at the drive.
of a fault in one output the drive can still be disabled safely through the
other output.
Under these conditions, there are no single wiring faults which can
cause a loss of the safety function, i.e. inadvertent enabling of the drive.
In the event that the two-channel operation is not required, the two
inputs can be connected together to form a single Safe Torque Off input.
One-channel Safe Torque Off (Including Two- channel Safe Torque

In a single channel Safe torque Off application there are no single faults
in the drive which can permit the motor to be driven. Therefore it is not
necessary to have a second channel to interrupt the power connection,
Safe Torque Off over-ride
The drive does not provide any facility to over-ride the Safe Torque Off
function, for example for maintenance purposes.
Lift (Elevator) Applications
The Safe Torque Off function is suitable for use as a safety component
in lift (elevator) applications:
The Safe Torque Off function can be used to eliminate electromechanical contactors, including special safety contactors, which would
otherwise be required for safety applications.
For further information, contact the supplier of the drive.
nor a fault detection circuit.
It is important to note that a single short-circuit from the Safe Torque Off
input to a DC supply of > 5V could cause the drive to be enabled.
This might occur through a fault in the wiring. This can be excluded
according to EN ISO 13849-2 by the use of protected wiring. The wiring
can be protected by either of the following methods:
• By placing the wiring in a segregated cable duct or other enclosure.
Or
• By providing the wiring with a grounded (0V of the Drive) shield in a
positive-logic grounded control circuit. The shield is provided to avoid a
hazard from an electrical fault. It may be grounded by any convenient
method; no special EMC precautions are required.
Note on response time of Safe Torque Off, and use with safety
controllers with self-testing outputs:
Safe Torque Off has been designed to have a response time of greater
than 1 ms so that it is compatible with safety controllers whose outputs
are subject to a dynamic test with a pulse width not exceeding 1 ms.

5 Multi axis system design
There are a number of important considerations for multi axis systems, it is recommended that the design process follows the following method:
1. Determine the power profile of the system and select the most appropriate parallel DC bus, drive and motor configuration to meet the demands of
the power profile (refer to section 5.1 below).
2. Assess DC bus paralleling connection method, external 24 Vdc, dynamic braking, EMC filter and fieldbus communication requirements, refer to
section 5.2 DC bus paralleling connection method on page 87 to section 5.6 EMC filters for multi axis systems on page 91
3. Choose the mechanical installation method, refer to section 5.7 Multi axis system installation on page 92.
An example applying these steps is given in section 5.8 Example design of a multi axis system on page 95.
5.1 Multi axis system power profile and configuration
The power profile of one complete worst case duty cycle should be calculated in watts from the product of rated speed (radians/sec) and torque (Nm)
for each axis. The sum total instantaneous power of the all axis over one complete duty cycle should also be calculated.
Individual drives should be selected to meet the power requirements of each axis.
The power profile of the whole system (including all axis) should be used to determine which DC paralleling configuration is the most suitable.
5.1.1 DC bus paralleling configuration
Connecting the DC links of several drives together allows regenerated/braking energy from one drive to be re-used by another motoring drive. This
improves the efficiency of the system since the regenerated energy is not wasted in braking resistors and the motoring drive draws substantially less
power from the mains. This can be particularly advantageous where one or more drives may be 'holding back' a line to provide tension. It is often
applied in high performance servo drive applications where substantial amounts of energy is used in accelerating and braking motors/machines.
As well as offering advantages in terms of simplifying energy management, a common DC bus system also has the potential to simplify the mains
connections and protection.
The following parallel DC bus configurations cover single AC mains feed only.
There are a number of different ways of connecting Digitax HD M75X drives together and paralleling the DC bus.
5.1.2 DC paralleling using a Digitax HD M75X rectifier to provide the DC supply
In this configuration multiple drives can be connected together via a parallel DC bus from a single AC feed to create a frame block. A frame block can
be comprised of Digitax HD M75X series drives of different frame sizes and current ratings.
Drives of different voltage ratings cannot be mixed on the same frame block.
Only one AC input should be connected to a system using a common DC bus.

Maximum frame block size
The maximum size of any Digitax HD M75X frame block configuration is 10 drives but may be reduced depending on the maximum frame block
capacitance that a Digitax HD M75X rectifier can support.
Maximum continuous input power
Each Digitax HD M75X series drive has an internal rectifier which has been designed to allow more input power than a single axis drive needs. This
additional power capability provides a useful method to provide a DC supply for additional drives connected via a common DC bus. The maximum
input power depends on the frame size and voltage rating. When the parallel DC bus consists of a mix of frame sizes, the largest frame size should be
chosen as the Digitax HD M75X rectifier drive.

Safety informationProduct informationMechanical installationElectrical installationMulti axis system designTechnical data
Each Digitax HD M75X drive has its own inrush current limitation circuit; therefore no additional inrush circuit is required.
The worst case output power requirement for the whole system must be compared with the maximum continuous AC input power of the drive chosen
with the AC connection (Digitax HD M75X rectifier), refer to Table 5-1 Multi axis AC input ratings.
To prevent the Digitax HD M75X rectifier from being overloaded, the worst case system output power demand from all axes, must not
exceed the maximum continuous AC input power of the Digitax HD M75X rectifier at any time.
Where the maximum continuous AC input power of the Digitax HD M75X rectifier is exceeded, additional frame blocks will be required.

Maximum frame block capacitance
When creating a frame block with Digitax HD M75X drives of multiple frame sizes, the maximum frame block capacitance (b) that the Digitax HD
M75X rectifier can support should be greater than the sum of all the individual internal drive DC capacitance values (a) within the same frame block.
If more drives are required for an application than a single frame block will allow, then multiple separate frame blocks each with an individual Digitax
HD M75X rectifier can be created.
Input cable and fusing
No supplemental DC fuses are required for this type of configuration.
When a Digitax HD M75X drive is used as a AC supply for a frame block, only AC branch protection fuses are required. The maximum fuse which can
be used to protect the system is given in Table 5-3. Smaller fuses and input cables can be used provided the fuse is from the same range and
dimensioned for the required input power. If the input cable is smaller than that listed in Table 5-3 the protection fuse must be reduced accordingly.

There are a number of advantages in using this method of DC paralleling:
•Allows drives of different frame sizes to be connected together.
•Reduces AC supply side component parts.
•Reduces energy losses (heat loss from braking resistors).
There are limitations to the combinations of drives which can be used in this configuration. For further information, contact the supplier of the drive.
5.2 DC bus paralleling connection method
DC bus paralleling using standard cable/busbars is supported by all frame sizes in the Digitax HD M75X range.
5.2.1 DC paralleling with busbars
The terminal and enclosure design enables the DC bus of a number of drives to be connected together using pre-made busbars. Suitable busbar

5.3 External 24 Vdc supply requirements for multi axis systems
External 24 Vdc link
For a multi axis system, the installation time and cable requirements can be reduced by using the 24 V links supplied in each multi axis kit. Each kit
includes one 24 Vdc busbar link which provides a quick method of connecting 24 Vdc between 2 drives.
A maximum of 10 drives can be connected together using 24 V links.
Figure 5-7 24 V busbar link (multi axis kit with option module)
•The 24 Vdc busbar link (1) is a push fit connection which should be inserted adjacent to the 24 Vdc supply connector (2). The 24 Vdc supply
connector can be fitted to either outermost drive.
If the drive is required to attempt a controlled motor stop during a mains supply loss condition, then the external 24 Vdc must be maintained for at
least as long as the drive remains active.
Calculating the external 24 Vdc supply requirements
The external 24 Vdc supply should be sized using the maximum input current and power demand referenced in Table 5-6, sum currents/power based
on configuration.
The working voltage range of the 24 V power supply is as follows:
All frame sizes
Nominal operating voltage 24.0 Vdc
Minimum continuous operating voltage20.4 V

5.5 Brake operation for multi axis systems
Where multiple brake resistors are required to dissipate energy on the DC bus it may be necessary to vary the brake IGBT turn on threshold via
Braking IGBT Lower Threshold (Pr 06.073) to avoid excess ripple on the DC bus. Care should be taken when reducing the threshold however to
avoid going below the maximum value of the peak rectified supply voltage as the braking resistor could take power from the supply.
For further details refer to the relevant Parameter Reference Guide.
5.6 EMC filters for multi axis systems
External EMC filters with higher input current ratings suitable for multi axis systems are detailed in Table 4-15 External EMC filter ratings on page 62.

A four axis system operates with the power profiles and layout detailed in Figure 5-13 and Table 5-7. Each axis is controlling a different torque profile.
All drives are to be connected via an EtherCAT network and two drives will have SI option modules fitted.
STEP 1 - Determine the power profile of the system
The worst case output current and speed profiles for each axis are calculated and plotted. Individual power and sum total power for all axis are also
plotted in Figure 5-13.
STEP 2 - Select the most appropriate configuration to meet the demands of the power profile
The power profile plot of the total system demonstrates that the peak power demand is 9.6 kW.

With reference to section 2.4 Ratings on page 10, the drives listed inTable 5-7 meet the individual power and current profiles for each axis.
The total peak power demanded from the multi axis system is 9.6 kW, with reference toTable 5-1 Multi axis AC input ratings on page 86, this is within
the maximum continuous AC input power of the M753-03400160 selected for axis 4.
The total DC bus capacitance for all drives selected is 980 F, see Table 5-7application example. The maximum frame block capacitance for an
M753-03400160 with no line reactor is 2210 F, see Table 5-1 Multi axis AC input ratings on page 86.
The M753-03400160 can therefore be used as the AC source with all drives connected as one frame block via a parallel DC bus.
As the AC input current remains within 40 A and no supplemental DC fuses are required, three 40 A LPJ fuses in the AC branch would be sufficient.

6.1.1 Peak current duration for pulse duty applications
The maximum duration for the peak output current depends on the total rms output current for the complete profile. The curves illustrated in Figure 61 to Figure 6-3 can be used to determine the maximum duration for the drive peak current when operating at different rms currents. The curves are
shown normalised to the drive nominal current rating in a 40 °C ambient.
For example when using the Digitax HD M75X - 01400042
Nominal current = 4.2 A, Peak current = 12.6 A
•When operating at an output current of 4.2 A (1 on the curve), the peak current 12.6 A is available for 0.25 s.
•If the peak current of 12.6 A is required for 4 seconds, the maximum normalised r.m.s. current is 0.5 x 4.2 = 2.1 A.
•If the peak current of 12.6 A is required for 8 seconds, the current preceding the overload should be 0 A for at least 60 seconds (i.e. overload
is only available from the cold condition).
Figure 6-1 Maximum duration for 300 % overload @ 8 kHz switching frequency, 40 °C ambient and 50/60 Hz output frequency
Figure 6-2 Maximum duration for 300 % overload @ 8 kHz switching frequency, 40 °C ambient and 0.1 Hz output frequency
A reduction in the peak current will extend the overload duration, the maximum duration for a 200 % and 150 % overload can be determined from
Figure 6-3.

NOTE
Typical short term overload limits
The maximum percentage overload limit changes depending on the selected motor. Variations in motor rated current, motor power factor and motor
leakage inductance all result in changes in the maximum possible overload. The exact value for a specific motor can be calculated using the
equations detailed in Menu 4 in the relevant Digitax HD M75X Parameter Reference Guide.
Typical values are shown in the table below for RFC-A, RFC-S and open loop (OL) modes:
RFC from coldRFC from 100 %Open Loop from coldOpen Loop from 100 %
Heavy duty overload with motor rated
current = drive rated current
Generally the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current allowing a higher level of overload than the default setting. The time
allowed in the overload region is proportionally reduced at very low output frequency on some drive ratings.
The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.
