The E-AC Drive is a microstepping drive that runs two-phase step motors.
It operates directly from 120VAC power; no separate DC power supply or
transformer is required.
A typical system is shown below.

System Components
The controller sends step and direction signals to the drive. For each step
pulse it receives, the drive will commutate the motor to increment rotor
position. This is shown in the next drawing.

Block Diagram of E-AC Drive System
The host computer or programmable controller may or may not be necessary, depending upon the controller’s capabilities.
The motor can be wired in series or parallel; the amount of current the
drive sends to the motor is set by DIP switches.
DIP SWITCHES
DIP switches are located on top of the E-AC Drive, accessible through an
opening in the top of the cover. During the installation procedure, the
user sets these DIP switches to configure the drive for motor current,
resolution, waveform, and other functions.
CAUTION
Remove power before changing DIP switches

INPUTS & OUTPUTS
All communications with the controller take place through the
E-AC Drive’s 25-pin D-connector. Available inputs and outputs are:
• Step Input
• Direction Input
• Shutdown Input
• Fault Output
• Reset Input
ANTI-RESONANCE
All step motors are subject to resonance, and to ringing after quick transient moves. The E-AC Drive has an anti-resonance circuit. This is a
general purpose damping circuit that provides aggressive and effective
damping. Anti-resonance can be disabled with a DIP switch.
E-AC DRIVE – COMPATIBLE MOTORS
Compumotor offers a wide range of motors that are compatible with the
E-AC Drive. See Chapter 2 – Installation for recommended motors.
COMPUMOTOR FAMILY OF PRODUCTS
The E-AC Drive is compatible with Compumotor’s broad range of
microstepper controllers (single-axis and multi-axis) and motion control
products.

AUTOMATIC TEST
Follow this procedure to have your E-AC Drive perform its automatic test
function. Once you set DIP switches, connect the motor, and connect AC
power, the automatic test will begin—the motor shaft will turn at one
revolution per second in an alternating mode until you remove power.
This will verify that the drive, motor, and motor cable work properly as a
system.

Shaft Rotation
Motor
Automatic Test Setup
This is a bench top procedure—as the drawing shows, you can perform it
before you connect a controller, mount the drive, or mount the motor. Full
installation instructions follow this Automatic Test section.
1. SET DIP SWITCHES FOR Motor Current
Two 8-position DIP switches are located on top of the E-AC Drive.
NOTE: if you are testing a drive that has already been configured for an
application, make note of the original DIP switch settings.
Set DIP switches SW2-#4 — SW2-#8 for the current for your motor,
according to the table. (For non-Compumotor motors, see Appendix A.)

2. SET DIP SWITCHES FOR THE A utomatic Test Function
Set DIP switch SW1-#1 to the on position. This selects the automatic test
function.
3. CONNECT THE MOTOR
Connect your motor cable to the drive’s MOTOR terminals. Motor wiring
instructions are presented later in this chapter. (For non-Compumotor
motors, see Appendix A.) Always observe the following two warnings:
WARNING
POWER MUST BE OFF when you connect or disconnect the motor connector. Lethal
voltages are present on the screw terminals!
WARNING
You must ground the motor case. Large potentials can develop at the motor case that can
create a lethal shock hazard if the motor case is not grounded.

4. CONNECT AC POWER
The E-AC Drive does not have an ON/OFF switch. When you connect
power, the automatic test will begin—the drive will turn on and the motor
will start turning. Therefore, before you apply power to the E-AC Drive:
• Properly secure the motor.
• Do not attach a load to the motor shaft.
To apply power, connect one end of your power cable to the drive’s 120V
and terminals. Connect the other end to a grounded 120VAC power
source. (Further instructions are presented later in this chapter.)
5. OBSERVE THE AUTOMATIC TEST
Your E-AC Drive should now be running in the automatic test mode.
• The motor shaft should rotate at approximately one revolution per second
(1 rps) in an alternating mode, until you remove power.
• LED Operation – observe the LEDs on the front panel:
6. STOP THE AUTOMATIC TEST
Disconnect power to stop the motor. Set DIP SW1-#1 to off. (Return DIP
switches of previously configured drives to original settings, if desired.)

2 – CONNECT THE MOTOR TO THE DRIVE – WIRING
Most Compumotor motor windings—phase A and phase B—are bifilar
windings made from double-stranded copper wire. Each phase has two
half-windings, which can be wired together in series or parallel.
These two alternatives—series and parallel—produce different speed/
torque characteristics, affect the motor’s current rating, and alter the
motor’s operating temperature. They are explained below.
GROUND THE MOTOR CASE
The motor case must be grounded, for safety purposes. On pre-cabled
Compumotor motors, one end of the cable shield is permanently wired to
the motor case; you should connect the other end to on the drive’s
motor connector. Inside the drive, connects directly to the ground pin
on the AC power terminals.
PRECAUTIONS
Follow these precautions when you wire the motor connector.
1. Turn off power to the drive before connecting or disconnecting the motor
leads.
2. Verify that no wire whiskers short out motor connections.
3. Do not apply power to the drive when the motor is not connected.
4. Never connect anything other than the motor to the motor terminals.
5. After wiring the motor connector, perform the Automatic Test, to verify that
the connector is wired correctly.
CONNECTING THE MOTOR: SERIES WIRING
For series motor current, connect a Compumotor motor as shown in the
following diagram.

Be sure to insulate the center tap connections; these are the wires shown
joined together in the drawing above, but not connected to the drive.
The operating temperature of a motor connected in series will be lower
than that of a motor connected in parallel. Therefore, you should operate
your motor in series, if your application permits. Typically, series connections work well in high torque/low speed applications.

Motor Connector – Wired for PARALLEL Motor Current
At higher speeds, a motor connected in parallel will produce more torque
than the same motor connected in series. However, the operating temperature of the motor in parallel will be much higher.
If you operate your motor in parallel, you must measure motor temperature under actual operating conditions. If the motor exceeds its maximum
case temperature, reduce the duty cycle, or use automatic standby to
reduce current at rest, or use forced air cooling to limit motor heating.
Compumotor motors have maximum case temperature of 100°C (212°F).
CAUTION
High current in parallel connected motors may cause motor overheating. You may need to
reduce the duty cycle to 50% to decrease motor temperature, or use automatic standby.
SERIES VERSUS PARALLEL – SUMMARY
The following list summarizes the points discussed above.
1. Examine the speed/torque curves for your motor.
2. Use series connection, if possible. (The motor will run cooler.)
3. Use parallel connection, if you need more torque than series connection
provides. (Typically, at higher speeds.)
4. Parallel connection will cause the motor to run hotter, so measure motor
temperature under operating conditions.
5. If necessary, reduce duty cycle, use automatic standby or use forced air
cooling to keep motor temperature within acceptable limits.

DIP Switch Location and Settings
DEFAULT SETTINGS
The factory default position is off for all switches. For the drive to operate
correctly, you must set the DIP switches for your application.
MOTOR CURRENT
Set DIP switches SW2-#4 — SW2-#8 for motor current. Verify that your
connector wiring (series or parallel) and motor current rating match the
current you set with these five switches.
E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide Chapter 2 – Installation
Page 21
DRIVE RESOLUTION
Set DIP switches SW1-#2 — SW1-#5 for drive resolution. There are sixteen settings, which range from 200 to 50,800 steps per revolution. The
default setting is 25,000 steps per revolution.
Be sure to set your controller to the same resolution as your E-AC Drive.
If the controller resolution and drive resolution do not match, commanded
accelerations and velocities will not be properly scaled.
WAVEFORM
Set SW1-#6 and SW1-#7 to select a current waveform. There are four
choices: one is a pure sine wave; the other three reduce the current
waveform’s 3rd harmonic by 4%, 6%, or 8%. In most applications, the
default setting (both switches off = -4% 3rd harmonic) provides the best
performance.
AUTOMATIC TEST
DIP switch SW1-#1 enables or disables the Automatic Test function. For
more information, see the Automatic Test section earlier in this chapter.
AUTOMATIC STANDBY
SW1-#8 should be off if you do not use automatic standby. Turn this
switch on to use automatic standby.
The automatic standby function allows the motor to cool when it is not
moving. Automatic standby reduces motor current by 50% if the drive
does not receive a step pulse for one second. Full current is restored upon
the first step pulse that the drive receives. Be aware that reduced current
results in reduced holding torque.
If you use the position maintenance feature of 6K or 6000 Series controllers, we recommend that you do not use automatic standby.
ANTI-RESONANCE DISABLE
SW1-#1 should be on for the anti-resonance circuit to be enabled. Normally, you will want anti-resonance enabled; therefore, this switch should
be on. If you must disable anti-resonance, turn this switch off.
CURRENT LOOP GAIN
Set SW2-#2 and SW2-#3 according to your motor’s small-signal inductance, in millihenries. The table shows the small-signal inductance range
that corresponds to each of the four settings.
Small-signal inductance is the value read on an ordinary inductance
bridge or meter.
NOTE: These two switches should be off for all Compumotor VS and OS
motors, or for any motor whose inductance is less than 32 mH.

Descriptions of each function on the 25 pin D-connector follow.
STEP INPUT
For every step pulse it receives on its step input, the drive will commutate
the motor to increment rotor position. To send a step pulse to the drive,
apply a positive voltage to STEP+ with respect to STEP–. The drive registers the pulse on the rising edge.
E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide Chapter 2 – Installation
Page 23
The input is optically isolated. You can drive the input differentially, or
from a single-ended source.
Step input specifications are:
Input Current: 6.5 mA minimum
15 mA maximum
Input Voltage: 3.5V minimum (min. required for on or high signal)
5.2V maximum*
Step Pulse: 200 nanosecond minimum pulse width
200 nanosecond minimum off time
2 MHz maximum pulse rate
Optically Isolated: Yes
*As a custom product, Compumotor can modify drive for higher input voltage
DIRECTION INPUT
While a positive voltage is applied to DIRECTION+ with respect to DIRECTION–, the drive will commutate the motor in the clockwise (positive)
direction as it receives step pulses on its step input.
While zero voltage (or a negative voltage) is applied to DIRECTION+ with
respect to DIRECTION–, the drive will commutate the motor in the counterclockwise (negative) direction as it receives step pulses.
The input is optically isolated. You can drive the input differentially, or
from a single-ended source.
Direction input specifications are:
Input Current: 6.5 mA minimum
15 mA maximum
Input Voltage: 3.5V minimum (min. required for on or high signal)
5.2V maximum*
Optically Isolated: Yes
Direction Change: Direction input may change polarity coincident with
first step pulse.
*As a custom product, Compumotor can modify drive for higher input voltage
SHUTDOWN INPUT
You can use the shutdown input to shutdown, or disable, the E-AC Drive.
To activate shutdown, apply a positive voltage to SHUTDOWN+ with respect
to SHUTDOWN– when the motor is not moving. During shutdown, the drive
turns off current to the motor. The current stays off as long as the voltage
is maintained on the shutdown input.
When you remove the voltage on the input, shutdown ends. The drive
restores current to the motor, in the same phase relationship that existed
before shutdown was invoked.
The shutdown input may also be differentially driven. Specifications are:
Input Current: 2.5 mA minimum
30 mA maximum
Input Voltage: 3.5V minimum (min. required for on or high signal)
13V maximum
5V maximum reverse voltage
Active Level: While voltage is applied, current to motor is shut down.
When voltage is removed, normal operations resume.
Time: 250 nanosecond minimum width
Optically Isolated: Yes

FAUL T OUTPUT
The E-AC Drive can signal, through its fault output, that it has detected a
fault. Internally, the terminals FAULT+ (C) and FAULT- (E) connect to the
open collector and open emitter, respectively, of an optically isolated
transistor. The transistor acts like a switch: it conducts when the drive is
functioning normally; it does not conduct when any of the following
conditions exist.
• No power is applied to the drive
• AC line voltage is too low (less than 95VAC)
• Drive temperature is higher than 55°C (131°F)
• Drive detects a short circuit in motor or motor cable
Fault output specifications are:
VCE: 30VDC
V
CESAT
Collector Current: 40 mA minimum
Dissipation: 40 mW maximum
Optically Isolated: Yes
: 1 VDC
RESET INPUT
The reset input provides a means for you to reset the E-AC Drive, without
actually cycling power. To activate the reset input, apply a positive voltage
to RESET+ with respect to RESET– when the motor is not moving. The reset
will not be complete until 0.7 seconds after the voltage is removed. A reset
has the same effect on the drive as cycling power:
• DIP switch settings are loaded into the drive for configuration.
• Existing faults are cleared.
• Current to the motor is turned off while voltage is applied to the reset input.
• After voltage is removed from the reset input, the drive’s soft start procedure
will ramp current up to the startup state. The motor will move to the nearest
pole position.
• After voltage is removed from the reset input, there will be a 0.7 second
delay before reset is complete, and normal operations can continue.
Reset input specifications are:
Input Current: 2.5 mA minimum
30 mA maximum
Input Voltage: 3.5V minimum (min. required for on or high signal)
13V maximum
5V maximum reverse voltage
Reset Voltage Pulse: 250 nanosecond minimum pulse width
Active Level: While voltage is applied, reset occurs.
When voltage is removed, normal operations resume.
Reset Delay: 0.7 second delay until reset is complete, after voltage is
removed from input.
Optically Isolated: Yes

Do not use a foot-mount or cradle configuration, because the motor’s
torque is not evenly distributed around the motor case. When a foot
mount is used, for example, any radial load on the motor shaft is multiplied by a much longer lever arm.
Step Motors can produce very high torques and accelerations. If the
mounting is inadequate, this combination of high torque/high acceleration can shear shafts and mounting hardware. Because of shock and
vibration that high accelerations can produce, you may need heavier
hardware than for static loads of the same magnitude.
Under certain move profiles, the motor can produce low-frequency vibra-
E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide Chapter 2 – Installation

tions in the mounting structure that can cause fatigue in structural
members. A mechanical engineer should check the machine design to
ensure that the mounting structure is adequate.
WARNING
Improper motor mounting can jeopardize personal safety, and
compromise system performance.
For Compumotor motor dimensions, see Select a Motor earlier in this
chapter.
MOTOR TEMPERATURE & COOLING
The motor’s face flange is used not only for mounting; it is also a heatsink.
Mount the face flange to a large thermal mass, such as a thick steel or
aluminum plate, which should be unpainted, clean, and flat. Heat will be
conducted from inside the motor, through the face flange, and dissipated
in the thermal mass. This is the best way to cool the motor. You can also
use a fan to blow air across the motor for increased cooling, if conduction
through the flange does not provide enough cooling.
MOTOR MODIFICATIONS
Modifying or machining the motor shaft will void the motor warranty.
Contact a Compumotor Applications Engineer (800-358-9070) about shaft
modifications as a custom product.
EXTENDING MOTOR CABLES
If you need to extend Compumotor motor cables beyond the standard
10 feet (3 m), consult the table below for recommended wire sizes. Cables
longer than 50 feet (15 m) may degrade system performance. Do not
extend cables beyond 200 feet (61 m).

performance. The three misalignment conditions, which can exist in any
combination, are illustrated and described below.

• Parallel Misalignment: The offset of two mating shaft center lines, although
the center lines remain parallel to each other.
• End Float: A change in the relative distance between the ends of two shafts.
The type of misalignment in your system will affect your choice of coupler.
SINGLE-FLEX COUPLING
Use a single-flex coupling when you have angular misalignment only.
Because a single-flex coupling is like a hinge, one and only one of the
shafts must be free to move in the radial direction without constraint. Do
not use a double-flex coupling in this situation: it will allow too much
freedom and the shaft will rotate eccentrically, which will cause large
vibrations and catastrophic failure. Do not use a single-flex coupling
with a parallel misalignment: this will bend the shafts, causing excessive bearing loads and premature failure.
DOUBLE-FLEX COUPLING
Use a double-flex coupling whenever two shafts are joined with parallel
misalignment, or a combination of angular and parallel misalignment (the
most common situation).
Single-flex and double-flex couplings may or may not accept end play,
depending on their design.
28
RIGID COUPLING
Rigid couplings are generally not recommended, because they cannot
compensate for any misalignment. They should be used only if the motor
or load is on some form of floating mounts that allow for alignment compensation. Rigid couplings can also be used when the load is supported
entirely by the motor’s bearings. A small mirror connected to a motor
shaft is an example of such an application.

8 – CONNECT AC POWER
At this point in your installation procedure, you should have mounted
your drive and motor, coupled the motor to the load, and connected the
controller and motor cables to the drive.
The E-AC Drive does not have an on/off switch. When you apply power to
the drive, the drive will turn on. Therefore, before you apply power, verify
the following:
• Motor should be properly secured
• Motor cable should be connected to drive
• Drive should be properly mounted
• Controller cable should be connected to drive
• Controller cable should not be in close physical proximity to motor cable
APPLY POWER
To apply power, connect one end of your power cable to the drive’s L1, N
and
terminals.

9 – TEST THE INSTALLATION
System installation should be complete at this point. Perform the test
procedure below to verify that your system is functioning properly.
In the test procedure, you will command single revolution moves in the
clockwise and counterclockwise direction. If your mechanics do not
permit such moves, choose a move that allows you to easily verify correct
system response.
30
TEST PROCEDURE
1. Apply 120VAC power. The green LED labeled PWR should illuminate.
2. Command a slow move of one revolution in the clockwise direction. Verify
that the motor turns as commanded.
3. Command a slow move of one revolution in the counterclockwise direction.
Verify that the motor turns as commanded.
4. Test the shutdown input. With the motor stopped, activate the input. The
motor will have no torque when shutdown is activated. You should be able
to turn the motor manually (if your mechanics permit).
Successful completion of this procedure will verify that your controller
and motor are correctly connected to the E-AC Drive, and that the drive is
functioning properly.
If the test is unsuccessful, proceed to Chapter 3 Troubleshooting for
problem identification and solution procedures.

TROUBLESHOOTING BASICS
When your system does not function properly (or as you expect it to
operate), the first thing that you must do is identify and isolate the problem. When you have accomplished this, you can effectively begin to
resolve the problem.
The first step is to isolate each system component and ensure that each
component functions properly when it is run independently. You may
have to dismantle your system and put it back together piece by piece to
detect the problem. If you have additional units available, you may want
to exchange them with existing components in your system to help identify the source of the problem.
Determine if the problem is mechanical, electrical, or software-related.
Can you repeat or re-create the problem? Random events may appear to
be related, but they are not necessarily contributing factors to your
problem.
You may be experiencing more than one problem. You must isolate and
solve one problem at a time. Log (document) all testing and problem
isolation procedures. You may need to review and consult these notes
later. This will also prevent you from duplicating your testing efforts.
Once you have isolated a problem, take the necessary steps to resolve it.
Refer to the problem solutions contained in this chapter.
DIAGNOSTIC LEDS
The E-AC Drive has two LEDs on its front panel. The following summary
of LED functions may help you isolate problems.
LED Name Color Function
PWR (POWER) Green Illuminates when AC power is applied
FLT (FAULT) Red Indicates short circuit in motor or cabling; or
PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS
The E-AC Drive has several protective circuits, some of which can indicate
fault conditions by illuminating one of the above LEDs.
OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
To protect against damage from high temperatures, the E-AC Drive has an
internal temperature sensor. If the sensor reaches 55°C (131°F) it will
trigger an overtemperature fault. The red FAULT LED will illuminate, and
the drive will shut down. This is a latched fault. To restart the drive, first
allow it to cool, then cycle power or toggle the reset input.
Off if AC power is under voltage (<95VAC)
Drive overtemperature
32
E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide Chapter 3 – Troubleshooting
Page 33
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The E-AC Drive has short circuit protection. When the drive detects a
short circuit in the motor or motor cabling, it illuminates the FAULT LED,
and stops producing motor current. This is a latched condition. To restart
the drive, first remove power to the drive; fix the short in the motor or
cable; then reapply power.
AUTOMATIC TEST
Often in diagnosing a problem, it is helpful to rule out possible causes. If
you disconnect the load and controller from the drive, four components
remain—the drive, motor, motor cable, and power cable.
You can then configure the drive to run the automatic test function. See
instructions near the beginning of Chapter 2 Installation. If the motor
turns as expected—in an alternating mode—then the drive, motor, and
cables are probably not the cause of the problem. The cause may lie with
the controller, software, mechanics, etc.
ANTI-RESONANCE DISABLE
If your mechanical system is highly resonant at precisely the wrong
frequency, anti-resonance might interpret the mechanical vibrations as
rotor position error. You would notice greater torque ripple, increased
audible noise, and possibly even stalling. To solve these problems, try
disabling anti-resonance (SW2-#1 off), and see if the problems improve.

USING NON-COMPUMOTOR MOTORS
We recommend that you use Compumotor motors with the E-AC Drive. If
you use a non-Compumotor motor, it must meet the following requirements:
• A minimum inductance of 2 mH, series or parallel, is required.
(Compumotor recommends a minimum inductance of 5 mH.)
• A minimum of 500VDC high-pot insulation rating from phase-to-phase and
phase-to-ground.
• The motor must be designed for use with a bipolar drive (no common center
tap).
• Motors with riveted rotors or stators are not recommended.
• Motors with solid rotors are not recommended.
• Test all motors carefully. Verify that the motor temperature in your applica-
tion is within the system limitations. The motor manufacturer’s maximum
allowable motor case temperature must not be exceeded. You should test the
motor over a 2-to-3 hour period. Motors tend to have a long thermal time
constant, but can still overheat, which results in motor damage.
Consult your motor vendor to verify that your motor meets the above specifications.
Consult your Automation Technology Center (ATC) if you have questions regarding the use
of a non-Compumotor motor with Compumotor equipment.
CAUTION
36
WIRING CONFIGURATIONS
Refer to the manufacturer’s motor specification document to determine
the motor’s wiring configuration. You can also determine the wiring
configuration with an ohmmeter using the procedures below (4-Lead
Motor, 6-Lead Motor, 8-Lead Motor). Once you determine the correct motor
wiring configuration, use the terminal connection diagram, shown at the
end of this section, that applies to your configuration.
4-LEAD MOTOR
1. Label one motor lead A+.
2. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to the A+ lead and touch the other lead of
the ohmmeter to the three remaining motor leads until you find the lead
that creates continuity. Label this lead A–.
3. Label the two remaining leads B+ and B–. Verify that there is continuity
between the B+ and B– leads.
4. Proceed to the Terminal Connections section below.
6-LEAD MOTOR
1. Determine, with an ohmmeter, which three of the six motor leads are
common (one phase).
2. Label each one of these three motor leads A.
3. Using the ohmmeter, verify that the remaining three leads are common.
4. Label the remaining three leads B.
5. Set the ohmmeter range to the 100 ohm scale (approximately).
6. Connect the ohmmeter’s negative lead to one of the motor leads labeled A.
Alternately measure the resistance to the two remaining motor leads also
labeled A. The resistance measurements will reflect one of the following two
scenarios.
Scenario #1 — The resistance measurements to the two remaining motor
leads are virtually identical. Label the two remaining motor leads A+ and A–.
Label the motor lead connected to the negative lead of the ohmmeter
A CENTER TAP (this is the center tap lead for Phase A of the motor).
E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide Appendix A – Non-Compumotor Motors
Page 37
Scenario #2 — The resistance measurement to the second of the three
motor leads measures 50% of the resistance measurement to the third of
the three motor leads. Label the second motor lead A CENTER TAP (this is
the center tap lead for Phase A of the motor). Label the third motor lead A–.
Label the motor lead connected to the ohmmeter A+.
7. Repeat the procedure as outlined in step 6 for the three leads labeled B
(B CENTER TAP is the center tap lead for Phase B of the motor).
8. Proceed to the Terminal Connections section below.
8-LEAD MOTOR
Because of the complexity involved in phasing an 8-lead motor, you must
refer to the manufacturer’s motor specification document. Using the
manufacturer’s specifications, label the motor leads as shown in the next
drawing.

DIRECTION OF MOTOR ROTATION
The procedures above do not determine the direction of motor shaft
rotation. To find out which direction the shaft turns, you must power up
your system and command motion. If the shaft turns in the opposite
direction than you desire, exchange the motor leads connected to A+ and
A– to reverse the direction of rotation.
WARNING
Motor shaft rotation may be opposite than you expect. Do not connect a load to the shaft

Page 39
SETTING MOTOR CURRENT – NON-COMPUMOTOR MOTORS
To set motor current for a non-Compumotor motor, refer to the formulas
below that correspond to your motor (4-lead, 6-lead, 8-lead) and use the
current settings shown in the DIP switch table (in Chapter 2 Installation)
to set the motor’s current.
WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect the motor with the power on. Doing so will damage the
4-LEAD MOTORS
If you use a 4-lead motor, the manufacturer’s current specification will
translate directly to the values shown for current in the DIP switch table.
6-LEAD MOTORS
Manufacturers generally use either a bipolar rating or a unipolar rating
for motor current in 6-lead motors.
Bipolar Rating: If the manufacturer specifies the motor current as a
bipolar rating, you can use the DIP switch table’s current settings directly
to set motor current—no conversion is required.
Unipolar Rating: If the manufacturer specifies the motor current as a
unipolar rating:
contacts of the motor connector and may cause personal injury.
• Use the following formula to convert the unipolar current rating to the
correct bipolar rating:
Unipolar Current ∗ 0.707 = Bipolar Current
• Use the converted value and the DIP switch table’s current settings to set
the motor current.
8-LEAD MOTORS
Manufacturers generally use either a bipolar rating or a unipolar rating
for motor current in 8-lead motors.
Bipolar Rating: If the manufacturer specifies the motor current as a
bipolar series rating:
• If you wire the motor in series, use the DIP switch table’s current settings
directly.
• If you wire the motor in parallel, you must double the manufacturer’s rating
and then use the DIP switch table’s current settings to set the motor current.
Unipolar Rating: If the manufacturer specifies the motor current as a
unipolar rating:
• Use the following formula to convert the unipolar current rating to the
correct bipolar rating:
Unipolar Current ∗ 0.707 = Bipolar Current
• If you wire the motor in series, use the converted value and the DIP switch
table’s current settings to set the motor current.
• If you wire the motor in parallel, you must double the converted value and
use the DIP switch table’s current settings to set the motor current.
If you have questions about setting motor current, call Compumotor’s
Applications Engineering Department at the number shown inside the
front cover.

Regulatory Agencies
The E-AC Drive is designed to meet the requirements of global regulatory
agencies.
The E-AC Drive has shown compliance with the regulatory agencies in the
following list. The list also shows additional steps users must take to ensure
compliance.
Agency Additional Steps User Must Take
UL, cUL No additional steps are required. (The E-AC Drive is UL recognized, as
CE (LVD) Earth connection for drive and motor (if applicable), proper installation
CE (EMC) Varistors, mains filter, EMC cabling, EMC ready motor, proper installation
Installation Instructions
Although the E-AC Drive is technically considered a motion control component
and is therefore not within the scope of the European Union’s CE (Conformité
Européenne) directives, Compumotor has taken the initiative to provide its
customers with easy to integrate motion control products that meet global requirements.
The following constitutes what is typically required to install the E-AC Drive into
a CE compliant system. Additional installation measures may be required at some
locations. The machine builder has ultimate responsibility for machine compliance.
Low Voltage Directive (LVD) Installation Requirements:
• Drive safety earth conductor
• Motor safety earth
• Drive must be installed such that the hazardous live terminals (barrier strip) are not
accessible under normal operation
shipped from the factory.)
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Installation Requirements:
• Product does not need to be placed within an enclosure
• Mains filter (see filter recommendations)
• Transient suppressors (mains surge test)
• EMC cabling, braided and bonded as specified below
• EMC ready motor, or motor with EMC installation information
• Additional installation hardware as shown in drawings in this appendix
Additional Steps to Ensure Compliance
To meet the requirements of regulatory agencies, you must follow the installation
guidelines presented below.
EMC – Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive – 89/336/EEC
In order to meet the requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
89/336/EEC, the entire system must comply: motor, drive, cabling, and peripherals. The installation of the product must include the following items.
42
E-AC Drive Hardware Installation Guide Appendix B – Regulatory Compliance: UL and CE
Page 43
EMC Cabling
For electromagnetic compatibility, you must use cables shown to be usable in
EMC installations. Cables should have a minimum of 85% braid coverage, and be
360° bonded at both ends.
EMC Motor
For system CE compliance, you must use an EMC-ready motor, or a motor that
has demonstrated acceptable EMC performance.
NOTE: Motors may bear the CE mark. This mark indicates the motor meets the
requirements of construction and safety—not EMC compliance .
Motors with shielded cabling or pipe thread style cabling options allow the easiest
integration into machines required to bear the CE mark for EMC.
Varistors
You must install varistors or other voltage surge limiting devices in order to meet
the requirements of EN61000-4-5. Place a Littelfuse V140LA1Ø or equivalent
varistor from line to line, and from lines to earth before the mains filter, as shown
in the EMC Installation drawing later in this appendix. (Intersil, General Electric
and Littelfuse manufacture equivalent varistors.)
Mains Filter
You must install a mains filter. The next table lists recommended filters.

Installation Guidelines
The E-AC Drive is made available under “Restricted Distribution” for use in the
“Second Environment” as described in EN 61800-3: 1996, page 9.
Cabinet Mounting
For Electromagnetic Compatibility, cabinet mounting is not required. However,
the E-AC Drive has high voltage terminals—for safety purposes, the drive must
not be user accessible during normal operation.
Drive Mounting
The E-AC Drive is designed to be mounted to an earthed metal panel. For EMC
performance, mount the mains filter to the same panel, as close to the drive as
possible. See the EMC Installation drawing at the end of this appendix.
Cable Routing
Route high power cables (motor and mains) at right angles to low power cables
(communications and inputs/outputs). Never route high and low power cables
parallel to each other.

All cables must maintain high integrity 360 degree shielding, and be constructed
with at least 85% braid coverage. When you install inputs and outputs, you must
observe proper noise immunity standards. See the EMC Installation drawing at the
end of this appendix.
Ferrite Absorbers
To meet the requirements of the EMC directive, you must add clip-on ferrite
absorbers to all cables. Compumotor recommends a ferrite with at least 200 ohm
impedance at 100 MHz, such as:
Steward Ferrite part number 28A2024
Fair-Rite part number 0443164151
(These ferrites are available from Compumotor, part number 47-015956-01)
Enclosure Mounting the E-AC Drive
The enclosure must be properly earthed and paint must be removed from drive
mounting and RF earth bonding locations. Proper shield termination of all cables
entering and exiting the enclosure is required. The motor shield (braid) must be
fastened close to the drive’s heatsink. The shield must not make contact with other
conductors, as this will cause common mode drive generated PWM current to flow
where not expected. The shields of all other cables that enter or exit the enclosure
must be RF bonded to the enclosure entrance point via R-Clamp, bulkhead
clamshell clamp, or other 360° bonding technique. This ensures that no stray
noise will enter or exit the enclosure. The next drawing illustrates 360° bonding
techniques.

If you use a screw terminal cable breakout device, be sure to properly enclose all
exposed conductors to avoid contamination and to reduce the risk of electrostatic
discharge. I/O must utilize high quality shielded cabling (85% braid coverage
minimum), which must be RF earth bonded as shown above.
Panel Mounting the E-AC Drive
The mounting panel must be properly earthed and paint must be removed from
drive mounting locations. You must fasten the motor shield (braid) close to the

System Installation
If you mount the E-AC Drive in an enclosure, terminate cable braids (screens) at
the entrance of the enclosure. However, the motor braid must be returned only to a
location close to the drive’s heatsink.
