WHAT IS A GENESIS SERIES BRUSHLESS DC DRIVE ?
The GENESIS series of drives were developed to operate very large Brushless DC motors. Large BLDC
motors were first made by POWERTEC Industrial Corporation in 1987.
Small BLDC motors have been in use for many years. The GENESIS series were the first drives that
were produced to operate really large BLDC motors. They range from fractional Horsepower (HP) to 300 HP.
Brushless DC motors and drives offer three significant benefits to the user:
1. Absolute Speed Control
2. High Efficiency
3. Low Maintenance.
ABSOLUTE SPEED CONTROL
The AC induction motor must “slip” in order to develop torque. “Slip” means that the rotor slows down
when loaded. The amount of slip varies with the load on the motor. When the motor load changes from no
load to full load, speed may change as much as 50 RPM. You must use extraordinary means to employ AC
motors in speed sensitive applications.
Traditional brush-type DC motors have “IR Losses.” These cause the speed of the motor to vary as the
load changes. “IR Losses” account for speed changes of as much as 2% of base speed. You can limit speed
changes to about 0.5% with a very expensive tachometer. That is still 8 or 9 RPM from no load to full load.
You must use extraordinary means to employ brush-type DC motors in speed sensitive applications.
Brushless DC drives and motors do not change speed when the load changes. This is true with the
standard product, right out of the box! This is very good for speed sensitive applications.
HIGH EFFICIENCY
AC induction motors are fairly efficient when operated across the line on plant power. Using an AC
variable speed inverter to control the speed of the AC motor adds power losses as heat in the drive. It also
creates additional losses in the motor. Total losses in the AC system approach 10% at the 100HP level.
Brush-type DC motor systems at 100 HP are relatively efficient, but the losses total about 8%.
Losses average less than 6% in Brushless DC systems at the 100 HP level.
At 100 HP, each percentage of losses is 750 watts. That’s 18 Kilo-Watt-Hours (KWH) per day, or about
6,500 KWH per year. A 2% increase in efficiency results in over $1,000 a year in direct energy savings.
LOW MAINTENANCE
An AC motor running on a variable speed AC drive produces a lot of heat. The motor needs lubrication
more often. It needs extra bearing changes. Heat also shortens the life of the motor.
Brush-type DC motors require frequent brush replacement. They need commutator service and field and
armature rewinding. They also require frequent lubrication and bearing changes due to heat.
Brushless DC motors need greasing, but oversize bearings and low heat output allow long bearing life.
Maintenance on a Brushless DC motor is minimal.
POWERTEC offers the GENESIS series for general purpose industrial use.
POWERTEC also offers a complete line of servo-duty rated drives and motors covering the range from
Follow these steps to quickly set up and operate the Model 1000 Brushless DC drive. If you are not sure
of the procedure for any of the steps, consult the installation section (beginning on page 7).
CONNECTIONS
Connect the proper three-phase AC power from a suitably rated switching device to the input terminals L1, L2,
1.
and L3. Check the nameplate. The sequence of the phases is not important to the drive.
Connect the power system ground to the GND terminal. Make sure the system ground is earth ground.
2.
Connect T1 of the motor to T1 of the drive. Connect T2 to T2, and T3 to T3. The order of connection is
3.
important. The motor will not run with improper motor connections..
Connect a ground wire from the motor’s ground lug to the GND terminal on the drive.
4.
Connect the encoder cable to the motor. Consult the drawing on page 2. The cable used should be a nine-
5.
conductor shielded cable. The colors do not matter, but they aid in tracing wires. Connect the shield at both
ends of the cable (the shield continues inside the motor, but is not connected there).
Connect a 10 Kilo-ohm Speed Potentiometer to TB2 terminals 9 (CW), 10 (Wiper), and 11 (CCW). Connect the
6.
shield of the speed pot cable to TB2 terminal 12.
Connect an Emergency Stop (ESTOP) button between TB2 terminals 6 and 7. Use a normally closed,
7.
maintained open contact type pushbutton.
Connect a normally closed, momentary type, STOP pushbutton between TB2 terminals 7 and 5.
8.
Connect a normally open, momentary type, RUN pushbutton between TB2 terminals 5 and 4.
9.
If desired, connect a normally open, momentary type, JOG pushbutton between TB2 terminals 5 and 13.
10.
If desired, connect a Forward-Reverse (FWD-REV) selector switch to TB2 terminals 17 and 14. Use a single-
11.
pole, two-position switch. The switch should close a contact in the Reverse position.
START UP
Before applying power, turn the speed pot fully counter-clockwise (CCW) and turn the CLIM pot fully counter-
1.
clockwise. Do not connect the motor to a load for its initial run. Set FWD-REV to FWD.
When you apply power, the PWR LED should light up GREEN immediately.
2.
When you apply power, the BUS LED should light up RED immediately.
3.
When power is on, the HS1, HS2, and HS3 LED’s may or may not be on RED, depending on the position of
4.
the motor. Only one or two should light; never all three and never none.
When power is on, the TAC LED may be OFF, RED, GREEN, or ORANGE.
5.
Within 30 seconds, the BUS LED should turn GREEN and the you should hear the charging contactor click as
6.
it energizes. If this does not happen within 30 seconds, shut power off and consult the troubleshooting section.
Press and release the START button. The RUN LED should light. The CURRENT LIMIT LED may come on at
7.
this time because the CLIM pot is all the way counter-clockwise.
Immediately after the RUN LED comes on, the ENABLE LED should light.
8.
Increase the speed pot reference to about 10% of its rotation from the CCW position.
9.
Turn the CLIM pot slowly clockwise. If the motor does not turn (HS1, HS2, HS3, and TAC will start blinking)
10.
before CLIM is at 50%, turn the CLIM pot back down fully CCW. Consult the troubleshooting section.
When the motor begins turning more than 10 RPM, the ZERO SPD LED should light up YELLOW.
11.
Leave the CLIM pot at 50 % and increase the speed pot to 50% of its rotation. Check the motor speed with a
12.
hand-held tachometer. Adjust the MAX speed pot, if necessary to attain 50% speed.
Turn the speed pot to 100% and measure the motor speed. Adjust MAX speed if necessary.
13.
Press the Normal Stop button and start again. Time the acceleration to full speed and set ACCEL time.
14.
Turn speed pot to 0% (CCW) and set MIN SPD potentiometer, if desired.
15.
Set STAB and GAIN to 50% of their rotation. Press the Normal Stop button. ENABLE should go OFF.
16.
Press the JOG button and set the JOG speed, if desired.
17.
Start the drive at any speed and switch the Forward-Reverse switch to check reversing.
18.
The motor is ready for service.

IF YOU TESTED THE DRIVE BEFORE INSTALLATION, CHECK THE BUS VOLTAGE. YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE BUS CAPACITORS HAVE DISCHARGED.
Mount a Model 1000 series drive of the NEMA 1 style with the fuses at
the top. Do not block air flow around the unit. Free air must flow up through
the fins on the back of the drive.
The temperature of the air around the drive (the ambient) must not
exceed 40°C (104°F) with a relative humidity of 95% or less.
Leave at least 6 inches (150 mm) of open space on all sides of the
NEMA 1 box. Do not mount it directly above a heat source, such as another
drive. If you mount two drive units in line vertically, there must be at least 18
inches (450 mm) of open space between the units.
When you move the Model 1000 series drive chassis to an enclosure,
DO NOT handle the chassis by parts that may bend or come loose. This
applies to the front cover of the drive. Support the chassis by the outside
edges of the heatsink.
Mount the chassis style Model 1000 series drive in an upright position (fuses at
top) inside an enclosure. Mount the chassis this way to promote cooling air flow
through the heatsink fins.
The temperature of the air around the chassis (ambient) may not exceed 55 °C
(131 °F). Relative humidity should be 95% or less, non-condensing.
Avoid mounting one chassis directly above another. This will result in hot air from
the lower chassis flowing up into the upper chassis. Leave at least 12 inches (300
mm) of open space between them.
There must be a minimum free panel space of 3 inches (75 mm) above and
below the chassis. This allows proper air flow through the heatsink fins.
The total heat dissipation within the electrical enclosure, for chassis units,
determines the size. There is a list of the heat output of the Model 1000 series drives
in the table on page 10.
NEMA 1, NEMA 1A, and NEMA 12 ventilated boxes depend upon air flowing
through the enclosure for cooling. They must have an air flow of 1 CFM (cubic feet
per minute) per 10 watts of dissipation (1 cubic meter/minute per 350 watts).
The allowance for totally enclosed units is 1 square foot of enclosure surface per
7 watts of dissipation (75 watts per square meter). Surface area includes front, sides,
top and bottom surface areas. Enclosure surfaces not exposed to cooling air do not
count.
For further information, consult the publication THERMAL MANAGEMENT,
available from your distributor.
Use of the Model 1000 Series drive above 3300 ft (1000 meters) requires de-rating.
If the drive is to be stored, store it in its original packaging in a dry environment.
Storage temperature should be between -40°C and +65°C.

The maximum Interrupting Capacity (AIC) of the fuses is 5,000 amperes.
You will need a switch with a rating greater than 5,000 amperes if the short
circuit current on the service is greater.
You do not necessarily need an ISOLATION TRANSFORMER for
operation of the drive. You may want to use one, or you might need to meet
local code requirements. You may need to change the voltage level.
If you use a transformer, you will need one with a KVA rating at least as
large as the HP rating of the drive. If you use a transformer, we recommend a
delta/wye winding configuration. We also recommend that the transformer
have taps to raise or lower voltage.

The purpose of this separate ground is to equalize the potential between the motor's frame and the drive

DO NOT USE THE SHIELD OF THE ENCODER CABLE AS AN ACTIVE CONDUCTOR!
If you want to use the motor thermal protector in a 120 VAC circuit, run it in wiring separate from the

CONTACTOR SPECIFICATIONS
If you want to operate an Output or Dynamic Braking Contactor
directly from the Model 1000 or 1000A, you must choose a coil that
draws less than 50 milliamps DC.
The Output Contactor drawing on page 15 shows the
connections for direct operation of the contactor (use the same
connections for Dynamic Braking). The coil must be 48VDC and
draw less than 50 ma DC (2.4 Watts). This is the most power
available from the Model 1000 series drive’s supplies.
To use a 115VAC or 230 VAC coil, you need a 156-012
Contactor Control board, as shown in the drawing on page 15. Use
the same drawing for the Output Contactor. Maximum current for the
Contactor Control board is 1 Amp at 230 VAC.
You need three normally open power poles and a normally open
auxiliary for an Output Contactor. The contactor does not make or
break with current in the power contacts. Choose the contact ratings
only on the basis of carrying the current.
For Dynamic Braking, you need three normally closed power
poles and a normally open auxiliary. The contacts make with current
present, but they do not break current in the dynamic braking
operation. Choose contacts accordingly.

The contactor outline sketched at left is from the SH-04 series by
AEG Industries. The model used for the Output Contactor is part
number SH-04.40 and the Dynamic Braking is SH-04.13. Contact
ratings are 16 Amps.

DYNAMIC BRAKING RESISTORS
We choose DB resistors for their ability to absorb high inrush currents and to accept large amounts of
power for short periods of time. Typical DB resistors can absorb ten times their power rating for up to five
seconds. The resistors must then cool down to ambient temperature before they can dissipate their full rating
again (usually a few minutes). It is possible to extend the ratings by about three times with power resistors by
forced-air cooling.
You can derive an approximate value of dynamic braking resistor from the bus voltage and the full load
current on the nameplate of the motor:
Bus Voltage X 0.47
Each Resistor Value ~ ---------------------------------- Motor FLA
Three resistors (or groups of resistors) are necessary. The power rating of each should be:
Power > 0.02 X (Buss Voltage)
These formulas are very general, and results will vary from motor to motor. For dynamic braking tailored
When you use an output contactor with the Model 1000, you
MUST interlock the output contactor with the Emergency Stop.
You WILL damage the drive if you do not interlock it.
Requirements for the Model 1000 series are:
1. The contactor must close its main power contacts
BEFORE it enables the drive;
2. The contactor may only open its contacts AFTER
disabling the drive.
It is important to note that the contactor does not make
or break current.
The figure at left shows the connections for a 48VDC output
contactor (such as AEG part number SH-04.40-ODC, which is
available from
POWERTEC
).
In this configuration, the contactor energizes on a run
command and de-energizes ONLY on an emergency stop. The
contactor stays energized during normal stops.
POWERTEC
makes an optional track mount PC board (Part
# 156-012) for sequencing of contactors with AC coils.

will damage the drive and/or the resistor banks if
you do not properly interlock the contactor.
The requirements are:

The AEG SH-04.13-ODC contactor is suitable
to the circuitry above. The figure on the left shows
the connections for using a POWERTEC 156-012
Contactor Control board to control a larger
contactor or a contactor with an AC coil.
In this configuration, the contactor energizes
when there is a run command and de-energizes
ONLY on an emergency stop. The contactor stays
energized during normal stops.

Installation and Operation Manual
Normally closed bi-metallic thermal switch in the motor. THE
MOTOR THERMAL SWICH MUST BE USED TO PROPERLY
PROTECT THE MOTOR! When the motor thermal switch opens,
the drive must be shut off to prevent damage to the motor
from overheating.
Voltage must be present to RUN or JOG. When removed,
ENABLE REQUEST is blocked immediately (see page 31) and
all control functions are disabled. Do not connect voltage to
terminal with permanent jumper. In RAMP STOP mode, this is
the only way to stop the drive.
Voltage must be present to maintain RUN mode after a
momentary START is removed. When voltage is removed, the
drive decelerates to zero speed at the DECEL rate and shuts
off if RAMP STOP jumper JP2 is installed. Otherwise drive
shuts off immediately and the motor coasts to a stop.
Voltage must be applied to initiate RUN mode. When it is
removed, drive shuts off unless +24VDC is present at TB2-5.
RUN LED turns on when +24VDC is applied to TB2-4. RUN
LED turns off and RUN relay drops out when voltage is
removed from both TB2-4 and TB2-5.
Normally open dry contact which closes when START is
energized and opens when RUN relay drops out (see above).
The RUN contact does not open on a FAULT unless the fault
removes the voltages from TB2-4 and TB2-5. The RUN contact
does not close on JOG and opens in RAMP STOP mode.
Open collector transistor output referenced to TB2-12. Rated
at 50 mADC @ 50 VDC max. This output operates only in RUN,
JOG, or RAMP STOP modes. The ZERO SPEED output turns
on at about 10 RPM and off at about 5 RPM. The ZERO
SPEED output shuts off if ENABLE LED shuts off.
Voltage must be applied to initiate JOG mode. JOG mode will
be maintained only as long as the voltage is present. When
the voltage is removed, the drive will go to RAMP STOP mode
if COAST TO STOP jumper JP2 is installed. Otherwise the
drive shuts off and the motor coasts to a stop.
Voltage must be applied to make motor go in reverse direction
(forward direction is defined as clockwise rotation of shaft
looking at output shaft end). In analog mode, applying or
removing voltage causes drive to decelerate to zero speed
and accelerate to set speed in opposite direction. In digital
mode, input frequency must be reduced to zero until motor
stops, then re-applied to go in opposite direction.
Optically coupled transistor output (isolated). Rated at 50
mADC @ 50 VDC. Turns on when bus has achieved proper
level. Output is off when any trip occurs.
Apply voltage to switch to DIGITAL mode. TB1-10 and TB1-9
are electrically isolated from the board power supplies. The
negative side of the +24VDC used for the input must be
connected to TB1-9. External frequency must be applied to
terminal 11. Terminal 9 is also common for this frequency.
** NOTE: TB2-6 is a dead terminal. It is used as a tie point.
The table on the opposite page lists the functions,
connections and descriptions of the control circuits of the
Model 1000. Read the descriptions of the operations of
these circuits carefully, since there are some differences
between operation in analog and digital modes.
The control circuits of the POWERTEC Brushless DC
Drive Models 1000 and 1000A motor controls operate on
48 VDC. This results from using the positive and negative
24 VDC unregulated power supplies. Using 48VDC helps to
balance the load of relays and other devices on the
supplies.
The maximum current from each of the raw supplies is
50 milliamps. Due to this supply limitation, you must use an
external supply when you use several external relays.

There is a desire in some cases to place a jumper
across the Emergency Stop terminals, rather than to install ESTOP buttons. Because the drive has a
ramp to stop capability, this could set up an UNSAFE situation. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

You can use the "two-wire" control method by connecting a contact or switch between terminals 7
and 4 on TB2. Leave off the RAMP STOP and START buttons. This DOES NOT disable the RAMP STOP
function. The only way to disable the RAMP STOP function is removing the RAMP STOP jumper.
The RAMP STOP function in the analog mode shorts the analog reference input to zero. This causes
the motor to decelerate to zero speed before shut-down. In digital mode, you must reduce the external
frequency to zero, or the RAMP STOP circuitry will not function.
Note that the JOG function OVERRIDES the RUN function. If you activate the JOG input while the
RUN mode is in operation, it will change the motor speed to JOG speed.

GET RUN, ZERO SPEED, FAULT AND ENABLE INFORMATION?
The RUN relay contact at TB2 terminals 1 and 2 is a dry
contact rated at 1 Amp (Resistive load) at 125VAC. You may
use it in an external circuit as long as the voltage does not
exceed 125 VAC (limitation of the terminal strip).
You may use an auxiliary relay if you need more power, or
if you need more contacts, as shown in the drawing at the left.
You should use a 48VDC coil (highly recommended) since this
reduces the burden on one supply. The diode is a general
purpose type rated for at least 1 Amp at 100VDC PIV (1N4002
or equivalent).
The ZERO SPEED output at TB2 terminal 16 is an open
collector NPN transistor, rated at 50 ma at 50 VDC. The
ZERO SPEED transistor turns on at about 10 RPM and turns
off at about 5 RPM

The output can operate a relay as shown in the top
drawing on the left. The transistor returns to drive common, so
it is not possible to use a 48VDC relay with the drive’s
supplies. If you use a 24VDC relay, the current must be as low
as possible. The diode is a general purpose type.
The ZERO SPEED relay will chatter at very low speeds.
You can overcome this with a latching circuit that releases at
the first dropout of the zero speed relay.
The FAULT output at TB1 terminals 12 and 13 is the
output transistor of an optical coupler. The coupler’s rating is
100VDC @ 50 ma.
Connect a FAULT relay with a 48VDC coil as shown in
the bottom figure at left. The external FAULT relay energizes
when the drive completes power-up and de-energizes when a
fault occurs. The diode is a general purpose diode.
The Model 1000 does not have a READY output or an
ENABLE output.
We can imitate an ENABLE relay by a combination of the
FAULT output and the RUN output. The RUN relay does not

Most of the signals are +24 VDC or 48 VDC (positive

actually operates between positive and negative supplies,

and it is difficult to make connections that do not involve
both power supplies.
The analog speed reference for the Model 1000
and 1000A is 0 to +10 VDC with the positive
connection on TB2 terminal 10 and the common
connection on TB2 terminal 12. Voltages less than 0
VDC have no effect and voltages greater than 10 VDC
become non-linear.
The input impedance is in excess of 100K when
the drive is in RUN mode, and about 30 K when the
drive is not in RUN mode. Using a speed
potentiometer with a resistance greater than 10 Kohms
may result in non-linear operation of the speed pot.
There is a +10VDC source at TB2 terminal 9. The
supply has a 10 ma limit.
There is a 1000 ohm potentiometer, connected as
a rheostat, for MINIMUM SPEED between TB2-11 and
common. With a 10K external speed pot, this allows a
minimum speed adjustment of up to about 9% of full
speed. You may connect the low end of the speed pot
directly to TB2 terminal 12, bypassing the MIN SPD
pot.
Enclose the wires to a speed pot in a shielded
cable, for noise reduction. Connect the shield only at
the drive end, on TB2 terminal 12.
The reference voltage for the input does not have
to come from the reference source at TB2 terminal 9.
You can introduce an external reference voltage
between TB2 terminals 10 (+) and 12 (common). The
speed of the motor varies as the external voltage
varies.
If you use an external “current source” speed
control (such as a 4 to 20 ma signal), you must convert
it to a voltage. Then you may introduce this voltage as
a speed command to TB2 terminal 10 (+) and TB2
terminal 12 (-).
When using a speed pot or an external voltage, it
is not necessary to reduce the speed signal to zero

before starting the drive. Starting the drive with a speed input already present will not damage the drive,
even at very high accel rates.
The Brushless DC drive operates over very wide speed ranges, so when you want the motor to stop
with the drive in RUN mode, there must be ZERO VDC at the input. Voltages as low as 70 millivolts (0.070
VDC) will cause the motor to turn. Noise levels on the reference line can reach these values. You must be
very careful about shielding and common mode voltages if you expect to operate with references of less
than 0.5 VDC.

DIGITAL MODE NOTES
Since the Brushless DC motor control system is inherently digital,
the performance in the digital mode of operation far exceeds the
performance in the analog mode. In the digital mode the control and
motor respond to a frequency signal fed to the control from an external
source.
In the digital mode, we use the same digital control circuitry for the
speed control as we do in the analog mode. The analog output of the
accel/decel circuits drives a voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO), which in
turn feeds the digital circuitry. We bypass the VCO in digital mode and
use an external reference frequency to control speed.
Activate the digital mode by applying a nominal +24 VDC voltage to
TB1 terminal 10, positive with respect to TB1 terminal 9 (figure 16).
There is also a jumper next to P2 on the Current Controller board (141-
108) which, when placed in the AF position, switches the control into the
digital mode without energizing terminal 10.
Either of these actions disconnects the control's internal VCO and
looks for a frequency at TB1 terminal 11, which must be positive with
respect to TB1 terminal 9. This frequency signal must meet certain
specifications:
"ON" VOLTAGE: 18 VDC min, 30 VDC max
"OFF" VOLTAGE: less than 1.5 VDC
FREQUENCY: 2X desired RPM (250 frames or smaller)
DUTY CYCLE: 25% min, 75% max
MAXIMUM FREQ: 50 KiloHertz
You can obtain the best tracking by "ramping" the frequency, that is,
changing the frequency gradually. The motor accelerates in current limit if
a frequency is present when the control starts.
The nature of the Brushless DC motor control is that the motor must
return a pulse for each reference pulse supplied, except in current limit!
You will lose pulses if the control goes into current limit, even for a brief
time. So it is best to not change the external frequency so rapidly that the
motor cannot respond without going into current limit.
Apply +24VDC to TB1 terminal 10 (TB1-10)
with respect to TB1-9 to operate the Model 1000
with a digital reference. Terminal 9 on TB1 is
NOT the same as drive common, so a jumper
from TB2-8 or TB2-17 will NOT switch to digital
mode unless you connect TB1-9 to a drive
common terminal (TB1-16).
With +24VDC on TB1-10, a pulse train at
TB1-11 (with respect to TB1-9) commands the
motor movement. On page 22, there is a list of
the parameters for the pulse train.
You can also activate digital mode by

the collector of a transistor (TB2-12 is common) which switches at twice the motor RPM. If you connect a
resistor (at least 1 Kohm minimum) from TB2-17 (+24 VDC) to TB2-15, you generate a signal that can
drive the input of another drive. Connect TB2-15 on the first control to TB1-11 on the second control, and
connect TB2-12 on the first control to TB1-9 on the second. To switch to digital mode, connect TB2-17 on
the first control to TB1-10 on the second control.

Almost all motors used with the Model 1000

even to zero speed.

ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL OPERATION
The choice between ANALOG and DIGITAL operation comes down to performance.
In ANALOG mode, a voltage sets the speed of the motor. Due to analog component tolerances, the
best accuracy you can expect is on the order of +/- 1%. It is typically 0.1% or better. The biggest problem
with Brushless DC is not the following of an analog source. It is the obtaining of a clean and stable analog

adequate in almost all cases. Changing load does not change the speed of the motor.
Coordinating the speed of two or more motors with analog methods requires some type of trimming
device, such as a dancer or load cell. Analog tolerances and noise make exact coordination very hard.
In DIGITAL mode, the speed of the motor is proportional to the frequency of the pulse train presented
at the TB1 terminals 11 and 9. Each pulse to the drive at these terminals will require a pulse from the

really want to be able to set 1749 RPM and get that speed precisely. Motor load does not change the
speed and the speed set by DIGITAL means has a drift of 1 Speed Reference pulse (less than 3° of motor
shaft rotation).
Speed coordination of two or more motors requires DIGITAL means for systems that do not have a
trimming device. Two motors connected by DIGITAL signals will track pulse for pulse.
Even though the motors may be made to operate together or in an exact ratio, there is a possibility
that the mechanical system or the speed setting devices may not be identical. If this is the case, some
type of trimming device may be necessary in a digital system. If the material does not stretch, this will
become apparent in short order.

be a nasty problem, and you must
use good shielding methods.

motor does not have to follow a

by another motor or other source.

in the Current Controller board

The DIGIMAX® is a
crystal-based Speed or Ratio
controller. It creates a train of
pulses to command the
movement of a motor when
the drive is operating in digital
speed mode.
A suitable train of pulses
applied at TB1 terminal 11
(with respect to TB1-9) of the
Model 1000 commands the
drive to turn the motor 3° for
each pulse. However, the
drive’s routine adjustments
such as MIN SPEED, MAX
SPEED, ACCEL, DECEL, and
JOG SPEED are not
functional. The DIGIMAX
supplies these functions.
The wiring diagram at left
shows all the basic
connections to the DIGIMAX.
Not all of them are necessary
for all installations. For
instance, external frequency is
only needed for slave mode.
The power, ground, and
shield connections on
DIGIMAX TB1 are necessary.
The jumper from TB1-4 goes
to a screw in the back plate.
The pulse train comes from DIGIMAX TB1 terminals 11(+) and 10(-). It is applied to the Model 1000
TB1 terminals 11(+) and 9(-).
The MAN/AUTO switch may be left out. You can make a straight connection from DIGIMAX TB1-7 to
Model 1000 TB1-10. Even this connection may be left off if the Current Controller board jumper JP1 is in
the AF position (see page 23).
The DIGIMAX control inputs are on TB2 terminals 5 through 10. These inputs require +24VDC. TB2
terminal 4 is the common connection for these isolated inputs. RUN (terminal 5) and ESTOP (terminal 7)
are required for DIGIMAX operation. PRESET (terminal 6) is an optional second speed. The REVERSE
input (terminal 8) must operate in conjunction with the drive’s reverse input, if it is used.
The EXTERNAL FREQUENCY input (TB2 terminals 13 and 14) is only used in the SLAVE mode. It is
used when the DIGIMAX is to follow another pulse train from another DIGIMAX or drive.

There are LED indicators on the Current Controller board (see the layout on page 30). The action of
some of these LED’s is indicated in the graph above and on subsequent pages.
The POWER LED (it is GREEN in color) comes on as soon as the main power is turned on. This
LED operates from the +24VDC raw power supply. If this LED does not come on, you should check the
incoming power, main fuses and power transformer fuse.
While the bus is charging, the BUS LED lights up RED in color. When the bus reaches a level of
approximately 35VDC below the nominal bus level, a contactor energizes to bypass the charging resistor.
The BUS light then changes to GREEN in color. If the light does not change to GREEN within 30 seconds,

or two of these indicators should be on. If none are on or if all three are
on, there is a problem. Refer to the troubleshooting section.
The ENABLE LED should be off.
The TAC LED may be off or RED or GREEN. It is not important at this time.
Once the bus has charged up and the BUS LED is GREEN, you may proceed to the next section.

JUMPERS
CURRENT CONTROLLER BOARD 141-108
- “AF-N” Jumper - Used to decide whether or not the drive is permanently in the “DIGITAL”
JP1
mode. This selection overrides the input at TB1 terminal 10. If JP1 is in the “AF” position,
the drive is in the DIGITAL mode and TB1 terminal 10 has no effect. If JP1 is in the “N”
position, you must apply +24VDC to TB1-terminal 10 to switch to DIGITAL mode.
- “RESET” Jumper - Used to trap faults when troubleshooting. Faults are normally reset by
JP3
pressing the STOP button when the RESET jumper is in the INTERNAL (INT) position.
When the RESET jumper is moved to the MAN (Manual) position, the faults do not reset
by pushing the STOP button. The fault must be reset by moving the RESET jumper to the
middle (RESET) position and then the jumper must be moved to either INT or MAN. The
drive will not run with the jumper in the middle position.
SPEED CONTROLLER BOARD 141-107
- “COAST TO STOP” Jumper - Determines whether the drive has a RAMP STOP mode, i.e.
JP1
if the drive attempts to decelerate the motor to a stop or if the motor is allowed to coast to
a stop. When the jumper is installed, the drive changes from RUN or JOG mode to RAMP
STOP mode when the RUN or JOG mode is ended. If the jumper is removed, the drive
has no RAMP STOP mode and the drive is disabled when the RUN or JOG mode ends.
- “RAMP RATE” Jumper - Sets the range of the ACCEL and DECEL pots. If the jumper is
JP2
installed, rates are adjustable from about 2 to about 90 seconds. If the jumper is
removed, the rates are adjustable from about 50 milliseconds to about 2 seconds. Times
given are the time to change speed from zero speed to maximum speed (ACCEL), or
from maximum speed to zero speed (DECEL). Other speed change times are
proportional.
Before starting the Model 1000 drive, turn the Current Limit pot fully counter-clockwise, and the
speed reference command input, analog or digital, should be set to zero.
You must have +24VDC (all voltages are relative to TB1 terminal 16)
applied to TB2 terminal 7 (Emergency Stop input) before attempting to
RUN or JOG. You must maintain +24V on TB2 - 7 as long as you want to
run or jog.. Removing +24V from the Emergency Stop input will stop the
drive regardless of whatever other inputs may be energized.
You must apply +24V to TB2 terminal 4 to start the
Model 1000 drive. When you energize TB2-4, even if the
START
Emergency Stop circuit is NOT energized, the RUN LED
on the Speed Controller board will light up and the normally
open RUN contact between TB2 terminals 1 and 2 will
close. If the Emergency Stop is closed, the drive will be in
the RUN mode as long as the +24V is maintained on TB2 -
RUN
MODE
4.
If you use a momentary contact to energize the RUN
input at TB2-4, then you must have +24V applied to TB2
terminal 5 to continue running, as illustrated in the drawing
at left. If you do not have +24V applied to TB2 - 5, then the
RUN
RAMP
STOP
RUN LED will go off and the RUN contact will open as
soon as you let go of the START button.
If you press the STOP button in the drawing at left, or
otherwise remove +24V from TB2-5, the drive will go to the
ramp stop mode, i.e., the motor will coast or decelerate to
EMERGENCY
STOP
a stop and the drive shuts off.
To shut off immediately, open the Emergency Stop
button or otherwise remove +24V from TB2-7.

You may start the drive with the JOG input by applying +24 VDC to TB2 terminal 13. The JOG LED
will light. The RUN LED will NOT light up
The JOG mode should be initiated from the STOPPED condition. If the JOG input is energized while
in RUN mode, the JOG overrides the RUN mode. When the JOG input is released, the drive returns to
RUN mode (if it is still on) and accelerates to the speed commanded by the input speed reference.
In either JOG or RUN mode, an ENABLE REQUEST is generated, and the ENABLE LED should light
on the Current Controller board. There are several reasons why the LED may not light:
1. The ENABLE LED will not light if the BUS LED is not GREEN;
2. The ENABLE LED will not light if the EMERGENCY STOP input is not energized;
3. The ENABLE LED will not light if any trip LED on the Current Controller board is lighted:
• The OV/UV LED, indicating an over-voltage or under-voltage bus condition;
• The PL LED, indicating a power supply deficiency;
• The IOC LED, indicating excessive current going to the output transistors.
4. The ENABLE LED will not light if any of the ribbon cables is loose;
5. The ENABLE LED will not light if the RESET JUMPER is in the middle position.
Once the ENABLE LED is lit, turning the motor only requires the insertion of a speed reference.

3.
Bus Voltage is below 85% of nominal for 80 mS or more.
Once the drive is in RUN mode, the application of the speed reference should cause the motor to
turn. At this point:
the PWR and BUS LED’s on the Current Controller board (CCB) should be GREEN;
•
one or two of the HS1, HS2, and HS3 LED’s should be on,
•
the ENABLE LED should be ON,
•
the RUN LED on the Speed Controller should be on,
•
the TAC LED on the CCB may be OFF, RED or GREEN, depending on the position of the motor.
•
the ILIMIT LED may be on if the Current Limit pot is fully counter-clockwise.
•
If the above conditions do not exist, see the Troubleshooting section.
There are several ways to apply a reference:
1. For an analog speed reference, a speed pot or an external voltage, see page 21;
2. For a digital speed reference, see page 23 (Read the notes on page 22).
When the speed reference is increased from zero, the motor should turn. If the current limit LED
turns on, check for the following:
1. If the motor is not turning, turn the Current Limit pot clockwise to see if the motor will turn and
the Current Limit LED turns off. If the pot is already more clockwise than its mid-point, turn it
all the way counter-clockwise to protect the motor and drive.
2. If the Current Limit pot is fully counterclockwise, and the motor is not turning, turn the pot
slowly clockwise to see if the motor will turn. If the motor turns, leave the Current Limit pot
where it is when the motor begins to turn.
3. If the motor does not turn when the Current Limit pot is increased, do not turn the Current
Limit pot higher than 50% of its rotation. Shut the drive off and check the connections
between the drive and the motor. It is quite common that these connections are mixed up.
When the speed reference is increased, if the motor does not turn, but the Current Limit LED does
NOT turn ON, check the following:
1. Make sure the RUN and ENABLE LED’s are on;
2. Make sure a reference is being properly applied:
• For an analog reference, a voltage between 0 VDC and +10V must be present at
TB2-10 with respect to TB2-12(common). The AF/N jumper (JP1) on the Current
Controller board must be in the “N” position and there must be 0 VDC between
terminals 9 and 10 on TB1.
• For a digital reference, there must be a suitable pulse train between terminals 11 and
9 on TB1 (see page 22). There must be +24V between terminals TB1-10 (+) and
TB1-9(-) OR the “AF/N” jumper (JP1) on the Current Controller board must be in the
“AF” position.
When the motor begins to turn, the HS1, HS2, and HS3 LED’s on the Current Controller board will
begin to flash on and off. These indicate rotation of the motor by turning on when the encoder magnets
pass over the sensors. When the motor is turning rapidly, it will appear as though all three of the HS1,
HS2, and HS3 LED’s are on at the same time.
When the motor begins to turn, the TAC LED will begin to flash alternately RED and GREEN, then
appear to be ORANGE as the motor turns faster.
When the motor begins to turn, the ZERO SPEED LED should turn on and remain lighted until the
motor next comes to a stop.
Check the speed of the motor at the 10%, 25%, 50% and 100% points of the speed reference.

CCW is 0% effect, or zero speed.
CW is full effect. With a 5000 ohm speed pot, this is 16% of full speed.
MAX Maximum Speed ANALOG MODE only.
Not an absolute speed limit. Calibration to reference.
At CCW, with 10VDC input, generates a VCO frequency of 1200 Hertz.
At CW, with 10VDC input, generates VCO frequency of 10 Kilohertz.
JOG Jog Speed ANALOG MODE only.
Sets speed during JOG mode.
CCW is zero Jog Speed.
CW is a jog speed of about 30% of full speed.
ACCEL Acceleration time ANALOG MODE only.
Sets amount of time to change from zero speed to full speed.
With JP2 installed, CCW is about 90 seconds.
With JP2 not installed, CCW is about 2 seconds.
With JP2 installed, CW is about 2 seconds.
With JP2 not installed, CW is about 0.05 seconds.
DECEL Acceleration time ANALOG MODE only.
Sets amount of time to change from full speed to zero speed.
With JP2 installed, CCW is about 90 seconds.
With JP2 not installed, CCW is about 2 seconds.
With JP2 installed, CW is about 2 seconds.
With JP2 not installed, CW is about 0.05 seconds.
GAIN Gain adjust ANALOG and DIGITAL modes.
Sets the stiffness of the motor shaft.
Zero position is where the shaft should be at any point in time.
Motor amps is proportional to offset of the shaft from the zero position.
Stiffness is motor amps per degree of shaft offset from zero position.
CCW is about 0.56% of full load current per degree of offset.
CW is about 5.6% of full load current per degree of offset.
Normal Gain setting is between CCW and 50% of rotation.
STAB Stability adjust ANALOG and DIGITAL modes.
Sets the stability of the motor under load.
CCW makes the drive more sluggish.
CW makes the drive more sensitive.
Normal setting is at about mid-range (50%) of pot rotation.
CLIM Current Limit ANALOG and DIGITAL modes.
Sets the maximum average current to the motor in percent of full load.
This adjustment depends on the HP calibration resistor on TB3-1 and TB3-3.
CCW is zero percent, or zero current.
CW is maximum current limit, or about 150% of full load.
Initial startup should be made with CLIM fully CCW.
Increase CLIM to full CW gradually as confidence in setup is gained.
In normal operation, CLIM is set to 150% (CW).
Once the motor is running, it may be necessary to make adjustments to produce the desired results.

With a standard speed pot connection (see page 21), the MIN pot on the Speed Controller board is
actually a minimum reference level. When the drive is started in the RUN mode with the speed pot fully
counter-clockwise (CCW, or 0%), the speed reference will be whatever is dialed in on the MIN speed pot.
If the low end of the speed pot is connected to TB2 terminal 12, or if an external reference is used,
the MIN pot has no effect.
If the speed pot is turned to 100% clockwise (CW), or the speed reference is otherwise increased to
+10VDC at TB2 terminal 10, the motor will accelerate to the maximum speed. You may use the MAX pot
on the Speed Controller to adjust the maximum speed of the motor.
Actually, the MAX pot will affect the speed at any speed reference input. The MAX pot adjustment is
not an absolute limit. It is a calibration to the reference.
The amount of time it takes the motor to change from zero speed to maximum speed is adjustable
with the ACCEL pot on the Speed Controller board. The range of time depends on whether or not JP2 is
installed. With JP2 installed, the time for acceleration is adjustable from about 2 seconds (ACCEL pot fully
clockwise) to about 90 seconds (ACCEL POT fully CCW). With JP2 removed, the time is adjustable from
about 0.05 seconds to about 2 seconds.
The ACCEL time is the time it takes the ramp circuit to change the speed reference from zero to full
speed. The motor may not accelerate in the same amount of time if it is limited by inertia or load, in which
case the motor will accelerate in current limit.
When the STOP button is pressed at full speed, if the COAST TO STOP jumper is removed, the
drive will shut off and the motor will coast to a stop. The time it takes the motor to stop is called the “coast
time”. This time is not controlled unless Dynamic Braking is installed.
If the STOP button is pressed and the COAST TO STOP jumper is installed, RAMP STOP mode is
initiated. The speed reference input is clamped to zero after the input at TB2 terminal 10 and the drive
ramps the speed to zero. The drive then shuts off.
The amount of time allowed for the deceleration is adjustable with the DECEL pot on the Speed
Controller board. This time has the same ranges as the ACCEL pot.
The Models 1000 and 1000A are non-regenerative drives, i.e., they have no braking effect. When the
RAMP STOP mode is in operation, or if the speed pot is turned to 0% while running at full speed, the
DECEL time will only be effective if the coast time of the motor (see above) is shorter than the DECEL
time. Otherwise, the motor will coast to a stop. When the motor gets to zero speed, the drive shuts off.
JOG speed is adjustable with the JOG pot on the Speed Controller board. JOG speed is affected by
the MAX speed adjustment, but JOG speed is not affected by the MAX pot, the ACCEL pot, or the DECEL
pot. JOG accelerates in current limit.

IOC T
An Instantaneous Over Current (IOC) fault is a serious matter. An IOC fault is indicated when the drive has
detected a potentially damaging amount of current going into the output transistor stage. Whenever possible, avoid
trying to restart the drive after an IOC fault until the following tests have been performed:
:
ESTS
Turn off power and wait for the main power capacitors to discharge.
1.
Turn the ILIMIT potentiometer fully Counter-ClockWise (CCW).
2.
Disconnect the motor power leads and check the motor for grounds.
3.
With power still off, perform the Transistor Module Static Test (page 38).
4.
Re-apply power and perform the Transistor Leakage Test (page 40).
5.
If any of the Driver board LED’s are on now, change the driver board.
6.
Press the START button and rotate the motor slowly by hand. Watch the driver board LED’s to see
7.
which ones are turning on and off. If the IOC LED comes on at some point in the rotation, change the
transistor block connected to that driver.
Turn off the power and, after the main capacitors have discharged, re-connect the motor and test the
8.
entire motor power circuit for grounds again.
Turn power on and begin the start-up procedure again, turning up the ILIMIT potentiometer slowly to
9.
catch a possible overcurrent event.
OV/UV T
An OverVoltage/UnderVoltage (OV/UV) indication may come on for many reasons. The important point to
remember is that the OV/UV indicator applies to the BUS voltage.
Make sure there are no common buss connections or bus loaders causing problems with the proper charging
and maintenance of the bus voltage.

:
ESTS
Before turning off the main power, measure the AC line voltage at the input to the drive. It should be
the nameplate voltage +/- 10%. If it is not, correct it.
Assess when the OV/UV indication occurred. The OV/UV trip occurs:
If the BUS voltage exceeds 121% of nominal bus (see troubleshooting chart, page 35 for
•
voltages) for any period of time. This may occur if the line voltage exceeds 121% of nominal,
or
If the BUS voltage drops to less than 85% of nominal bus voltage for a period of time
•
exceeding 80 milliseconds (0.08 seconds), or
If the BUS voltage drops below 75% of nominal bus voltage for any length of time, or
•
If the charging contactor drops out.
•
In the case of 380VAC and 460VAC drives, check the balance of the voltage across the capacitor bank
halves. (Measure across R1 and R2). The voltages should not differ by more than 10%. If the voltages
are unbalanced, change the Capacitor board.
Do not assume that the AC line voltage which is measured while the drive is off will be the same while
the drive is running the motor under load. Measure the AC line voltage under both circumstances.

DRIVER BOARD LED’S
The base driver board LED’s turn on when current is being supplied to the bases of
the output power transistors.
For output transistor numbering, see the Simplified Power Schematic drawing on
page 36.
On the Model 1000 series non-regenerative drives, transistors #1, #2, and #3 (
referred to as the “top” transistors because they are connected to the positive side of the
bus) are “block fired”, i.e., they are on continuously while the motor is in a position where
they should be on. On a four-pole motor (standard motors with frame sizes from 42T
through 259T), each of the output transistors 1, 2, and 3 are on for 60 degrees of shaft
rotation. This makes the LED’s for transistors 1, 2, and 3 easy to see while the motor is
running.
Transistors #4, #5, and #6 are each enabled for 60 degrees of shaft rotation while
the motor is in the corresponding position, but the output transistor is controlled by a
“pulse-width modulation” (PWM) which is determined by the motor current required.
Under light loads, this means that the transistor may only be on 1 percent of the time. The
LED’s for #4, #5, and #6 (referred to as the “bottom” transistors because they are
connected to the negative side of the bus) therefore, may be difficult to see. As the load
increases on the motor, observation becomes easier.
The best way to check the LED’s on the Base Driver Board is to disconnect the
motor power leads T1, T2, and T3, start the drive, and rotate the motor shaft by hand.
Then all of the LED’s will come on at full brightness.
