Toshiba Q9 User Manual

ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES

Q9 Series

Reliable & Congurable

Reliable

Toshiba has manufactured pulse-width
modulated drives since 1981 and is one
of the few companies that manufactures
both motors and drives in the same
facility. Because of this, Toshiba has the
knowledge to develop and manufacture
the most powerful, efficient, and motor­friendly adjustable speed drives available.

Toshiba produces one of the most reliable
and rugged adjustable speed drives in the
industry. Users can rely on Toshiba drives
working for years beyond their warranty.

The Q9 is no exception — it is built to last.
Toshiba uses oversized transistors and
heavy-duty DC bus capacitors to extend
the drive’s life. The Q9 is listed at 100,000
AIC interrupting capacity. The drive is also
designed to operate in environments from

-10˚ to 40˚C at elevations up to 3,300 feet.

Integrated Enclosure

Congurable

The Q9 is not only a monster in durability and dependability, but also simple to use. The electronic
operator interface (EOI), with its LCD display and simple keypad layout, allows for quick and easy
menu and parameter navigation. Toshiba even provides optional Windows®-based software to
help with Q9 programming and monitoring.

With eight digital inputs, three digital outputs, three analog inputs, two analog outputs, EOI, and
various communication protocol options, the Q9 allows for flexibility in controlling and monitoring
the drive.

My Function is a Q9 feature that allows the user to access built-in PLC-type logic. My Function
provides basic logic programming without the need for an external PLC.

HVAC-Minded

Designed for HVAC Systems

The Q9 ASD is designed for HVAC systems offering many popular features needed in the industry.
It comes equipped with a fire-speed circuit that forces the drive to run at a preset speed during
a smoke purge. The Q9 also provides a damper-permissive function that can be used to protect
from over-pressuring ductwork.

A user can set a low-output disable time to force the drive to zero-speed if the drive runs at the
lower limit frequency for a specified time. This option helps reduce energy costs.

PID Control

A built-in proportional/integral/derivative (PID) controller, used to regulate a process without
the need for external control devices, comes standard with the Q9. In addition, the wire-break
function trips the drive if the feedback signal drops below specified levels. This prevents the drive
from accelerating to maximum speed and helps protect the system.

Communications

The Q9 supports many common
protocols used in HVAC applications
including:

• BACnet (MS/TP)

• LonWorks

• Metasys N2

• Modbus RTU

• APOGEE FLN

Internal Communication Option Cards

System-Friendly

The Q9 includes multiple features in its standard design that protects the drive, your equipment,
and your systems.

Alarms & Faults

The Q9 provides various alarms and fault-notifications that serve to alert the user when poor
operating conditions are present. This capability not only protects your drive but also protects the
motor that is connected to it.

Equipment Friendly

The Q9’s speed search function can detect the speed and direction of a spinning motor and start
smoothly without tripping. This drive feature proves especially useful when trying to start a motor
after a momentary power outage or in the case of a free-wheeling fan.

Adjustable acceleration/deceleration times and stall capabilities allow for minimal stress on fans,
pumps, belts, and pulleys.

The Q9 is capable of programming up to three different skip frequencies. User-selected frequencies
may be "skipped" to avoid the negative effects of mechanical resonance.

ASD Pro Software

Toshiba offers downloadable software that can be used to interface with the Q9 at no additional
cost. The software can be used to program and control the Q9, download parameter sets, and
monitor real-time conditions.

Integrated Enclosure

& Extender Box

Toshiba allows you to “build your own drive” by including many of the popular features
requested by the HVAC market as choices for your own standard package. The
configurations you can choose include line reactors for input power-conditioning and
harmonic mitigation, as well as the choice between two or three-contactor bypasses to
allow for across-the-line motor operation.

Integrated Enclosure

“Build your own drive” uses a

standard NEMA 1 enclosure

that is available with the
following options:

Extender Box

The extender box includes the
same options for line reactors
and bypass configurations as
the integrated enclosure. The
extender box is connected to
the bottom of the standard
Q9 power unit, and the entire

assembly is NEMA 1 rated.
