Safety and operating instructions for drive power converters
(as per: Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC)
1.General
During operation, drive power converters may, depending on their pro­tection class, have live, bare, moving or rotating parts or hot surfaces.
Unauthorised removal of covers, improper use, incorrect installation or operation causes a risk of serious personal injury or material damage.
Further information can be found in this documentation. All transportation, installation commissioning and maintenance work
must be carried out by qualified personnel (compliant with IEC 364 or. CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC 664 or DIN VDE 0110 and national accident prevention regulations).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with the assembly, installation, commis­sioning and operation of this product and who have the relevant qualifi­cations for their work.
2. Proper use in Europe
Drive power converters are components intended for installation in elec­trical systems or machines.
When installed in machines, the drive power converter must not be commissioned (i.e. commencement of the proper use) until it has been ensured that the machine meets the provisions of the EC Directive 2006/42/EEC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must also be complied with.
Commissioning (i.e. implementation of the proper use) is only permitted if the EMC directive (2004/108/EEC) is complied with.
Drive power converters with a CE label meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC. The stated harmonized standards for drive current inverters are used in the declaration of conformity.
Technical data and information for connection conditions can be found on the rating plate and in the documentation, and must be complied with.
The drive power converters may only be used for safety functions which are described and explicitly approved.
3. Transport, storage
Information regarding transport, storage and correct handling must be complied with.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the equipment must be implemented ac­cording to the regulations in the corresponding documentation.
The drive power converter must be protected against impermis­sible loads. Especially during transport and handling, compo­nents must not be deformed and/or insulation distances must not be changed. Touching of electronic components and con­tacts must be avoided.
Drive power converters have electrostatically sensitive compo­nents, which can be easily damaged by incorrect handling. Elec­trical components must not be mechanically damaged or de­stroyed (this may cause a health hazard!).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive power converters, the applicable na­tional accident prevention regulations must be complied with (e.g. BGV A3, formerly VBG 4).
The electrical installation must be implemented according to the applicable regulations (e.g. cable cross-section, fuses, earth lead connections). Further instructions can be found in the doc­umentation.
Information regarding EMC-compliant installation – such as shielding, earthing, location of filters and installation of cables – can be found in the drive power converter documentation. The­se instructions must be complied with even with CE marked drive power converters. Compliance with the limit values speci­fied in the EMC regulations is the responsibility of the manufac­turer of the system or machine.
6. Operation
Systems in which drive power converters are installed must be equipped, where necessary, with additional monitoring and pro­tective equipment as per the applicable safety requirements, e.g. legislation concerning technical equipment, accident pre­vention regulations, etc.
The parameterisation and configuration of the drive power con­verter must be selected so that no hazards can occur.
All covers must be kept closed during operation.
7. Maintenance and repairs
After the drive power converter is disconnected from the power supply, live equipment components and power connections should not be touched immediately, because of possible charged capacitors. Observe the applicable information signs located on the drive power converter.
Further information can be found in this documentation.
These safety instructions must be kept in a safe place!

1 General

This manual BU 0530 ES describes the aspects that are directly related to the functional safety of the equipment. All standard functions and parameters of the inverter are contained in the manual (BU 0500 GB).

1.1 Safety and installationinformation

SK 500E frequency inverters are equipment for use in industrial high voltage systems and are operated at
voltages that could lead to severe injuries or death if they are touched.
Installation and other work may only be carried out by qualified electricians and with the device
disconnected. The operating instructions must always be available to these persons and must be strictly observed by them.
Local regulations for the installation of electrical equipment and accident prevention must be
complied with.
The equipment continues to carry hazardous voltages for up to 5 minutes after being switched
off at the mains. The equipment may only be opened or the cover or control element removed 5 minutes after the equipment has been disconnected from the power supply. All covers must be put back in place before the mains voltage is switched back on again.
For single phase operation (115/230 V) the mains impedance must be at least 100H for each
conductor. If this is not the case, a mains choke must be installed.
1 General
For safe isolation from the mains, all poles of the supply cable to the frequency inverter must be
able to be disconnected.
Even during motor standstill (e.g. caused by an electronic block, blocked drive or output terminal
short circuit), the line connection terminals, motor terminals and braking resistor terminals may still conduct hazardous voltages. A motor standstill is not identical to electrical isolation from the mains.
Parts of the control board, and especially the connector socket for the removable technology
units also carry hazardous voltages. The control terminals are mains voltage free.
Note: with certain settings, the frequency inverter can start up automatically after the mains are
switched on.
The circuit boards contain highly-sensitive MOS semiconductor components that are particularly
sensitive to static electricity. Avoid touching circuit tracks and components with the hand or metallic objects. Only the terminal strip screws may be touched with insulated screwdrivers when connecting the cables.
The frequency inverter is only intended for permanent connection and may not be operated
without effective earthing connections which comply with the local regulations for large leakage currents (> 3.5 mA). VDE 0160 stipulates the installation of a second earthing conductor or an earthing conductor cross-section of at least 10 mm2.
A universal leakage current-sensitive circuit breaker (type B) according to EN 50178/VDE 0160
must be used.
SK 500E frequency inverters are maintenance free. The cooling surfaces must be regularly
cleaned with compressed air if the ambient air is dusty.
Installation of the frequency inverter in an IP54 switching cabinet is mandatory. The clamp cover must be used!
BU 0530 GB-3712 9
Functional safety with NORD SK 500E frequency inverters
CAUTION
The heat sink and all other metal components can heat up to temperatures above 70 ℃. When mounting, sufficient distance from neighbouring components must be maintained.
When working on the components, allow sufficient cooling time beforehand Protection against accidental contact may need to be provided.
ATTENTION
DANGER TO LIFE!
The power unit can continue to carry voltages for up to 5 minutes after being switched off at the mains. Inverter terminals, motor cables and motor terminals may carry voltage!
Touching open or free terminals, cables and equipment components can lead to severe injury or death!
Work may only be carried out by qualified specialist electricians and with the electrical supply to the equipment disconnected!
CAUTION
Children and the general public must be kept away from the equipment! The equipment may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
Unauthorised modifications and the use of spare parts and additional equipment which has not been purchased from or recommended by the manufacturer of the device may cause fire, electric shock and injury.
Keep these operating instructions in an accessible location and give them to all operators!
WARNING
This product is intended for use in an industrial environment and is subject to sales restrictions according to IEC 61800-3. In a domestic environment, this product can cause high frequency interference, in which case the user may be required to take appropriate measures.
An appropriate measure would be the inclusion of a recommended mains filter.

1.2 Approvals and certificates

The certificates listed below refer to functional safety. Certifications relating to the frequency inverter (EMC, UL, etc.) are listed in the main manual (BU0500).

2 Function description

To avoid danger to persons and to prevent damage to material, machines must be able to be switched off safely. The frequency inverters SK 510E, SK 511E, SK 515E, SK 530E, SK 535E, SK 540 and SK 545E provide a method for safe switch-off (Safe pulse block).
In order to understand the function of the shut-down methods, it is first of all necessary to consider the function of the frequency inverter.
The mains voltages are rectified and the resulting DC voltage is reconverted to AC according to the requirements of the operating status of the motor (frequency and voltage).

Safe pulse block
The semiconductor switches of the inverter (T1 to T6) are controlled by a highly complex pulse pattern. This pulse pattern is generated by the microcontroller (µC) and amplified by the driver. The drivers convert the logic signals on the control voltages of the semiconductor switch. The semiconductor switches are switched via the control voltage and the pulse pattern is amplified and applied to the motor terminals. Due to the low-pass effect of the motor, a three-phase pulse width modulated sine wave voltage - a three-phase system, results from the pulsed voltage. The motor generates a torque.

2 Description of function
NOTE
On triggering the safe shut-down method, a mechanical brake connected to the terminals 1 (K1.1) and 2 (K1.2) can be applied (see parameter 434 in the BU 0500 GB manual). If the drive unit is not previously switched off, the brake must be designed as an operational brake.

2.1 Safe shut-down method

With the aid of a safe shut-down method the torque is now to be safely shut down. This corresponds to the safety function STO (safe torque off).
In order to switch off the torque, the current to the motor must be interrupted. The pulse block is provided for this.

2.1.1 Safe pulse block

Devices equipped with a "safe pulse block" have an additional DC/DC converter, which produces the supply voltage for the driver from a 24V supply (24V_SH, GND_SH).
If the external 24 V voltage is switched off then the DC/DC converter does not transmit any power to the drivers. As the drivers are now no longer supplied with power, no control pulses reach the relevant semiconductor switches of the inverter. The flow of current in the semiconductor switches and the motor is interrupted. I.e. after a certain reaction time of the electronics and the reduction time of the motor current, the motor does not develop a driving torque.
The switch-off of the 24V supply (24V_SH, GND_SH) must be carried out by a fail-safe switching device. For this, either the connection 24V_SH (Terminal 89) or the connection GND_SH (Terminal 88) may be disconnected from the 24V source. For preference, the 24V_SH connection is disconnected.

2.1.2 Digital inputs

In order to implement a safety function, the digital inputs can be used as auxiliary inputs, e.g. for the triggering of a braking process. It should be noted that the digital inputs only fulfil minimum safety requirements. A safe shut-down method is always required!
The digital inputs, other I/Os and the 24V supply have a common earth. This means that a digital input may only be switched off by disconnecting the associated connection (21 for DIN1 to 24 for DIN 4). Switch-off via GND is not possible!
When operating with an OSSD1 a filter is only required for environments with strong interference. If only low levels of functional safety are required, the safety function can also be implemented with the digital
inputs. It is recommended that this is only considered if the risk assessment has shown that slight (normally temporary) injuries could result on failure of the safety function (see also Section 6 ). In case of doubt, a safe shut-down method should always be used.

Functional safety with NORD SK 500E frequency inverters
NOTE
Control of a mechanical brake by means of the inverter is not fail-safe! A mechanical brake connected to terminals 1 (K1.1) and 2 (K1.2) can be applied on triggering
of the STO function. This means that in this case, the brake must be designed as an operating brake, as the drive unit and all of its rotating mass is stopped by the mechanical brake.
Slippage of lifting gear when triggering the STO function must be prevented by suitable brakes
where necessary!
NOTE
Controlled braking is triggered via a digital input and only complies with low safety requirements! If controlled braking fails then the device switches over to STO. If necessary, the braking process must be monitored.
NOTE
Control of a mechanical brake by means of the inverter is not fail-safe! In case of failure of controlled braking, a mechanical brake connected to terminals 1 (K1.1) and
2 (K1.2) may be overloaded, as this brake is applied when the STO function is triggered.
If necessary, slippage of lifting gear must be prevented by the use of suitable brakes.

2.2 Safety functions

A stop function can be executed by means of a safe shut-down method. As this has priority over other control functions this stop-function is suitable for stopping in emergencies. This ensures that the torque is shut down by means of a safe shut-down method. This function is known as "safe torque off" or STO.
It is also possible to first stop the motor in a controlled manner and then to switch off the torque. This function is referred to as "safe stop 1" or SS1.

2.2.1 Safe torque off, STO

With the STO function the drive torque is switched off as quickly as possible (see Technical Data Reaction Time) and the drive until (motor and machine) run down to a standstill. This behaviour corresponds to Stop Category 0 (uncontrolled braking) as per EN 60204-1. A certain time therefore elapses until the drive unit does not perform any further dangerous movements and a safe state is achieved. Monitoring of whether or when the drive unit has achieved a safe state is not integrated into the frequency inverter.
According to the switching equipment used and with the use of a safe shut-down method, an STO function with Safety Category 4 as per DIN EN ISO 13849-1 can be implemented.

2.2.2 Safe stop 1, SS1

With the SS1 function, the motor is first stopped by the inverter and after standstill the device switches to the STO function. This method is the same as stop category 1 (controlled stop) as per IEC60204-1. Switching to the STO function can be monitored after reaching standstill or can be carried out via a fail-safe timing relay (delayed output of a protective switching device).

2.3 Examples / Implementation

The following illustrates several examples of solutions for the safety functions STO and SS1.

2.3.1 STO function

Normally, a protective switching device is used to implement a safety function. The safety category of the function is determined by the component with the lowest category.
In this example, Safety Category 4 as per DIN ISO 13849-1 can be achieved. The prerequisite for this is that the emergency stop button, the protective switching device and the wiring fulfil the requirements for Category
4. For example, this can be achieved as follows:
Redundant protective switching device with self-monitoring  Dual-channel input circuit with short-circuit recognition (and appropriate emergency stop button)  Safety output with periodic switch-off tests (OSSD)  Elimination of errors as per DIN ISO 13849-2 for the wiring between the switching device and the input
terminals of the safe shut-down method used, by the use of a shielded cable and connection of the shield at both ends.
The typical reaction time can be reduced by the additional use of a digital input (e.g.: DIN1), which must be parameterised for the function "Block voltage":
Note: The optional filter on the digital input is only required in environments with heavy interference.
A second safety output is required to control the digital input.
BU 0530 GB-3712 23
Functional safety with NORD SK 500E frequency inverters
NOTE
A separate shielded cable must be used for the "safe pulse block" or "switch-off of the 24V supply". When using a protective switching device with short-circuit monitored OSSD-outputs, the safety outputs can be combined in a single cable.
NOTE
Only the "safe pulse block" or "switch-off of the 24V" supply fulfil the requirements of Safety Category 4. This does not apply to the digital input.
The frequency inverter can only fulfil safety category 1 during the period between activation of the safe pulse block via a digital input and activation via terminals 88 and 89.
This solution is preferable, especially in cases where the switching device only checks its safety outputs in the course of an enabling cycle, as is the case with some electro-mechanical switching devices. A suitable checking interval must be specified according to the safety requirements.

2.3.2 SS1 Function

A digital input is always required for the implementation of the SS1 function in order to initiate a braking process performed by the inverter. For this, the digital input used is set to the function "fast stop" [11].
Note: The optional filter on the digital input is only required in environments with heavy interference.
When the safety function is requested, a controlled stopping procedure is first triggered via the digital input (in this case DIN1). Here it must be ensured that the drive is brought to standstill within the parameterised fast stop time (P426). After the elapse of a delay time which is controlled by the switching device, the safe shut­down method is triggered. The delay time must be dimensioned so that the delay is longer than the fast stop time plus the DC follow-up time (P559). The delay time must be selected so as to be fail-safe.
Here it should be noted that controlled braking can fulfil the requirements for Safety Category 1. Safety Category 4 as per DIN EN ISO 13849-1 can be achieved with final switch-off by the triggering of a safe shut­down method "safe pulse block" or "switch-off of the 24V supply". For this, the same conditions as described in the examples for the STO function apply. If controlled braking fails then the device switches over to STO (after the set delay).

Functional safety with NORD SK 500E frequency inverters
NOTE
After triggering the "safe pulse block“, the inverter shows the acknowledgeable fault E018 (18.0 Safety circuit).
NOTE
In this example, there is no reset circuit as is the case with the protective switching devices. If the result of risk analysis is that cancellation of the stop command must be acknowledged by intended manual action then the resetting requirements can be fulfilled organisationally (e.g. by an emergency-stop button with key releasing device and storage of the key away from the machine).
NOTE
We recommend that the "automatic fault clearance“ (P506) and "automatic start-up" (P428) functions are not used in combination with each other (See BU 0500 GB), as the drive would otherwise immediately start up after unlocking the emergency-off button.

2.3.3 Simple restart block

Safety Category 4 as per DIN ISO 13849-1 can be achieved with a direct dual-channel triggering of the "safe pulse block" with the aid of a safe switching element. The following illustration shows an example with an emergency stop switch (guided contacts, Safety Category 4).
To achieve safety category 4, fault exclusion as per EN 13849-2 Sec. D.5 must be possible for the upstream components (hard-wiring and dual-channel buttons with independent, positive-opening contacts). I.e., in this example, the emergency-stop button and the wiring must be designed in such a way that short-circuiting at the emergency-stop button and to other live systems can be ruled out.

2.3.4 Example without safe shut-down method

It is possible to implement the safety functions STO or SS1 with a digital input and a protective switching device. With this switching version, as a maximum, Safety Category 1 as per DIN EN ISO 13849-1 can be achieved, if in addition to the digital inputs, all other components (protective switching device, emergency stop button, wiring) fulfil the requirements for Category 1.
This switching version should only be considered if only low requirements for functional safety need to be fulfilled and if the risk assessment has shown that failure of the safety function can only result in slight (usually temporary) injuries (see also Section 6 ). In case of doubt, the "Safe pulse block" should always be used.
Note: The optional filter is only required in environments with heavy interference.
To implement the safety function STO, the digital input is parameterised to the function "Disable voltage". With the safety function SS1 the digital input is assigned the function "Fast stop" (parameter P420[-01...-04])
and the fast stop time is set via parameter P426. It must be ensured that the drive is brought to standstill within the parameterised fast stop time.

2.3.5 Ruling out wiring faults

In the examples above, a separate shielded cable, whose shield is connected at both ends is used each of the inputs used for the implementation of the safety function. This measures serves to rule out faults as per DIN EN ISO 13849-1 in case of a short circuit between any of the conductors. This exclusion of faults is necessary in order to fulfil the requirements of Safety Category 4 as per DIN EN ISO 13849-1. According to this, a single detected fault or an accumulation of undetected faults must not lead to the loss of the safety function. A short circuit from an external voltage, e.g. from a 24V control cable, to the 24V input of a safe shut-down method could lead to the loss of a safety function. I.e. this fault must be prevented by means of suitable measures.
The use of a separate shielded cable for each input is not mandatory. For example, the cables for the digital inputs and the safe shut-down method may be jointly laid in a shielded cable, if the monitored safety outputs of the switching device is equipped with short-circuit detection (See Fig.). If necessary, the effectiveness of the short-circuit detection must be demonstrated.
Other measures (separate cable duct, installation in armoured conduit) are possible. More precise details result from the risk assessment and the FMEA for the specific application.
For the "safe pulse block" it is also conceivable that this is triggered via two safety outputs, one switching the 24V output and the other switching the GND output.
In this case a shielded cable is not strictly necessary if both safety outputs are monitored. If, for example, other 24V control cables are laid in the same cable duct and an error in the form of a short-circuit from 24V_SH to a control cable (=24V) is assumed, this fault would be detected by the output monitoring of the switching device and the "safe pulse block" would be triggered by the second safety output. More precise details result from the FMEA for the specific application.
If a shielded cable is not used for the wiring of the safety function, the effects of electromagnetic fields may need to be taken into account. Hence the use of a 1 m long cable (in a separate cable duct) in an environment without strong electromagnetic fields is relatively safe, while the installation of a long cable in the direct vicinity of a powerful transmitter or a medium voltage distributor may cause the failure of the safety function. Because of this, the use of shielded cables is generally recommended.

3.4.1 Connecting the safe pulse block (X8 – VIS 24V, VIS 0V)

SK 51xE SK 53xE and SK 54xE series frequency inverters are equipped with the option "Functional safety". Connection of the corresponding control cables is made via terminal block X8. Up to and including size 4, this terminal block and all other control connections are located under the front cover (See Section 3.4.2 "Connection terminals"). For sizes 5 to 7, the terminal block X8 is located on the underside of the frequency inverter (motor output side).
A two-wire shielded cable must be used for the safe pulse block. The shield must be connected at on both ends. For mechanical switching devices the line drop in the cable must not exceed ΔU electronic protective switching devices it must not exceed ΔU I
= 400 mA should be assumed.
IN,Peak
Operation at OSSD
The safe pulse block is specially designed for use with an OSSD. The capacity between the wires (including the shielded capacities) must not exceed a value of 20nF for each
inverter connected.
Additional restrictions may apply here with regard to the protective switching device.
EMC
When the „safe pulse block“ has been wired correctly for EMC, the recommended EMC values (See BU 0500
GB) can be complied with up to a cable length of 20m between the safety switching device and the inverter.
Multi-device operation
When operating several inverters at one safety switching device, the switching capacity of the switching device and the load rating of the 24V power-feeding supply must be observed.
The shield must be applied to all inverters. The permissible line drops on the cable must be observed!

ATTENTION
to implement the STO function, the "block voltage"function [10] must be assigned to the appropriate parameter (P420 [-01]…[-04], depending on the digital input selected (DIN1 … DIN4).
For the SS1 function, the "fast stop" function [11] is assigned to the appropriate parameter. In addition, the stopping time must be entered in parameter P426 and the DC run-on time must be entered in parameter P559.
For function SS1, the fast stop time (P426) must be rated so that the drive is stopped within this time. The DC follow-up time follows after the fast stop time (see above). The delay time of the delayed output of the protective switching device must be rated so that it is longer than the fast stop time plus the DC follow-up time.

4 Parameterisation

In this manual, only those parameters and configurations are listed, which are of immediate significance to functional safety. For additional information, please observe the instructions in manual BU 0500 GB.
Parameter list
Up to and including Size 4, digital input 5 is not available. In place of this a potential-free isolated thermistor input is implemented, whose function cannot be
disabled. If no thermistor is present the two terminals TF- and TF+ must be bridged. Parameterisation of this input does not have any effect.
Digital input 7 (DIN7) can also be used as digital output 3 (DOUT3 / Binary output 5). It is recommended that either an input function (P420 [-07] or an output function (P434 [-05]) is parameterised. However, if and input function and an output function are parameterised, a High signal from the output function will re­sult in the activation of the input function. This IO-exclusion is hence used as a kind of "flag". This also applies for digital input 8 (DIN8) and digital output 2 (DOUT2 / binary output 4).
The analog inputs 1 and 2 (AIN1 / 2) can also process digital functions. Care must be taken that either an analog function (P400 [-01]/[-02]) or a digital func­tion (P420 [-08]/[-09]) is parameterised in order to prevent misinterpretation of the signals.

5 Protective switching devices

The safety switching device used for the intended purpose, as well as all additional components required to implement a safety function, must fulfil the requirements of the special application in accordance to the risk analysis.
The switching device outputs must fulfil the following basic conditions:

5.1 Output voltage

Mechanical protective switching device: 24V±25% (18V…30V) Electronic protective switching devices with OSSD5 outputs: 24V-20%+25% (19.2V…30V)
The stated voltages should be available at the input terminals of the inverter. I.e. the line drop in the cable used may need to be taken into account.

5.2 Switching capacity and current load

The safety outputs of the switching devices used must be able to withstand the following loads:
Please note:
Due to the supporting capacitors of the safe shut-down method, there is an increased current consumption for a short time on switch-on and after a test pulse from an OSSD4. The "safe pulse block" is equipped with an active current limiter in order to reduce the load on safety outputs to a minimum.
5.3 OSSD8 outputs, test pulse

The supply voltage is applied for at least 90% of the time. I.e. for a test pulse of t voltage is subsequently applied for at least ton=4.5 ms.
Double pulses are permitted when the two pulses are at least 1ms apart and the condition for D is
observed.
The following sequence results at maximum pulse width: First test pulse, where t voltage is then connected for 0.5 ms, followed by the second test pulse where t supply voltage is connected for at least 8.5 ms!

6.1 IEC 60204-1:2005

(German version EN 60204-1:2006) The requirements of a Category 0 and Category 1 stop function can be fulfilled by the "safe pulse block". The controlled braking for Category 1 is not fail-safe via the standard functions of the frequency inverter. The
switch-over to the stop function of Category 0 is fail-safe.

6.2 IEC 61800-5-2:2007

(German version EN 61800-5-2:2007) The requirements for the functions "Safe shut-down torque (STO) and "Safe stop 1" (SS1) can be fulfilled with
the shut-down method "safe pulse block. With the function SS1, there is no safe monitoring of motor speed reduction or motor speed reduction by the
frequency inverter. If a risk analysis has shown that monitoring is necessary, this must be carried out via an external safe control unit. The solutions for the function SS1 described in the examples correspond to characteristics as per IEC 61800-5-2:2007, Section 4.2.2.3, Paragraph c) "Triggering of motor speed reduction and triggering of the STO function after an application-specific time delay". The motor speed reduction is carried out via the standard functionality of the frequency inverter and is not fail-safe. The switch-over to the STO function is fail-safe.

7 Commissioning

ATTENTION
DANGER TO LIFE!
The frequency inverter is not equipped with a line main switch and is therefore always live when connected to the power supply. Live voltages may therefore be connected to a connected motor at standstill.
ATTENTION
The connected motor may only be started after the parameters specific to the application in question have been set by qualified personnel.
Special care is necessary during commissioning until the correct behaviour of the safety functions has been demonstrated by means of validation. If necessary, possible hazards during commissioning must be avoided by organisational means.
7 Commissioning
Once the power supply has been connected to the frequency inverter, it will be operational within a few moments. In this state, the frequency inverter can be set to the requirements of the application, i.e. it can be configured. A detailed and complete description of each parameter is contained in BU 0500 GB.
During commissioning, the following steps with regard to functional safety must be carried out:
STO:
One safety output of the safety switching device is connected to the safe pulse block (Terminal 89
(24V_SH) and terminal 88 (GND_SH). According to the required safety category, if necessary, a wiring fault (short-circuit between any arbitrary
wires) must be able to be ruled out. It is recommended that a two-conductor shielded cable is used for the safe shut-down method (See also
Section 2.3.5 "Ruling out wiring faults"). The shield must be applied on both sides!
The typical reaction time can be reduced by the additional use of a digital input.
With the Safe Pulse Block, the diagnostic path "Status at the input terminals", which is in the form of the digital input parallel to the safe pulse block, can be used. For this, the digital input with the function "Block voltage" is used.
It is recommended that a separate shielded cable is used for each safe shut-down method and for the digital inputs used for functional safety. (see also Section 2.3.5 "Ruling out wiring faults"). The shield must be applied on both sides!
The On/Off switching delay of the digital input must not be used: P475 [-0x] = 0 s!  According to the application, disabling of the safety function may cause a hazard, so that a monitored start
is necessary. In this case, the automatic start may not be used, P428 = "Off" [0].

Functional safety with NORD SK 500E frequency inverters
NOTE
The additional 15V/24V output of the inverter (terminal block X8, terminal 86, 87) has been provided for commissioning the inverter without a safety switching device. In this case, the 15V/24V can be directly connected to the 24V input voltage of the pulse block.
As delivered, terminals 87-88 and 86-89 are bridged in order to enable commissioning or operation without the safety function (or without ext. 24V).
NOTE
It must be proven by suitable validation that the requirements for the specially intended purpose have been met.
SS1:
One safety output of the safety switching device is connected to a digital input (terminal block X5, terminals
21 ... 24). It is recommended that a shielded cable is used for this. The shield must be applied on both sides!
The safe pulse block is connected to a delayed safety output of the safety switching device used (terminal
89 (24V_SH) and terminal 88 (GND_SH). It is recommended that a separate shielded cable is used for this. The shield must be applied on both sides!
The selected digital input must be assigned the „fast stop“ [11] function. For the function SS1, the parameter P426 "fast stop time" and if necessary P559, "DC follow-on time" must
be parameterised according to the requirements of the application. The delay time of the delayed output of the protective switching device must be rated so that it is longer than the fast stop time plus the DC follow­on time.
The On/Off switching delay of the digital input must not be used: P475 [-0x] = 0 s!  According to the application, disabling of the safety function may cause a hazard, so that a monitored start
is necessary. In this case, the automatic start may not be used, P428 = "Off" [0].

8 Diagnosis and faults

8.1 Diagnosis

Detailed information can be found in the operating instructions for the basic device (BU0500).
Status information It is possible to access status information by means of the ParameterBox, SimpleBox or via a field bus. This
information is not provided on a fail-safe basis, but rather only for information purposes! The status of the "safe pulse block" and the digital inputs and outputs can be accessed via the information
parameters and if necessary by means of the status word with communication via a field bus (See Section 4 "Parameterisation").
In order to be able to query the reaction of the "safe pulse block", the digital output, a Bus Out bit or a free bit of the status word (Bit 10 or Bit 13) must be assigned function 39 (STO inactive). The status of this bit can be read out via the parameters P711 (digital output), P741 [-01] (status word) or P741 [-05] (Bus Out bits) or can be transferred via the bus protocol.

8.2 Faults

Detailed information can be found in the operating instructions for the basic device (BU0500).

8.2.1 Table of possible error messages

The fault messages to be assigned to functional safety are listed in the following table.

8.2.2 Error display

ControlBox / SimpleBox: The 4-digit, 7 segment display of these boxes indicates a fault with its number and
the prefix "E". If the cause of the error is no longer present, the error display flashes and the error can be acknowledged with the OK key.
ParameterBox: The error messages are shown in plain text.

8.2.3 Error memory

The current error is saved in parameter P700 and the last five error messages are saved in parameter P701 [­01]…[-05]. Further information on inverter status at the time the error occurred are stored in parameters P702 to P706 / P799. More detailed information can be found in the manual BU 0500 GB.
