FUNCTIONALITY
The NXL range of variable speed drives provides both three phase to three phase (1 A to 61 A) and single phase to three phase
(2 A to 6A) units. Of particular use in the HVAC environment, they enable fans and motors to regulate delivery of air and water
in variable flow applications. Where flow rates may be reduced, motor energy can be significantly cut as the relationship between
flow rate and power follows a cube law hence reducing flow by 20% reduces power by 50%. The drives also enable saving in
installation costs; switchgear is eliminated, motor cables are reduced from 6 to 3 wires, power factor correction capacitors are
not required, size and cost of cabling and fuses is minimised (as starting current is kept within nominal value).
The sensorless flux vector control gives dynamic precision over most of the speed range. A drive is provided with built-in control
application, which can be set up from the control keypad. It has a slot for an optional I/O expansion board.
HARDWARE
The Trend NXL is an extremely slim, space-saving and
easy-to-use frequency converter for the power range of 0.37
to 30 kW. The installation is flexible and easy using the mounting
components shipped with the unit. Traditional back installation
and side installation, suitable for very limited space, are available,
as well as DIN rail mounting.
An optimal solution is available for most application needs. The
modular design allows the choice of only the functions and
features needed in a specific application. The control keypad is
fitted as standard. The NXOPTAA board (3 x digital inputs, 1 x
digital relay output, and 1 x digital open collector output) is fitted
as standard in the I/O expansion slot of the Ecodrives; it can be
fitted as an optional extra in the Microdrives. At the core of the
Easy programming and commissioning add to overall
user-friendliness. The default control I/O of the Trend NXL includes
the most common control inputs and outputs. For maximum
compatibility, the connector numbers correspond to those of the
Trend NX drives. Parameter setting is carried out in a familiar
NXL is sensorless vector control technology coupled with current

The Trend NXL control keypad features a seven-segment display
with seven indicators for the Run status (RUN, READY, STOP,
ALARM, FAULT) and three indicators for the control place
(I/O term/ Keypad/BusComm). The control information, i.e. the
number of menu, the displayed value and the numeric information
are presented with numeric symbols.
The frequency converter is operable through the seven
push-buttons of the control keypad. Furthermore, the buttons
serve the purposes of parameter setting and value monitoring.

The keypad has seven buttons which are used for controlling
the drive, setting parameters, and monitoring values.
The Keypad can be made the control source at any time by pressing
the left arrow button for 5 secs. The keypad may then be used to
start and stop the motor and to ramp its speed up and down by
increasing or decreasing the output frequency shown on the
display using the up and down keys. Pressing the left hand arrow
button again for 5 secs will return the drive to remote control.
Note that the motor is stopped as the control changes from
remote to local and vice versa.
The main menu consists of individual items M1 to E7 which are
browsed using up and down buttons, the submenus under these
menus are then browsed by left/right buttons.
M1 Monitoring: This enables the following signals to be
monitored only.

FIRMWARE
Applications
The Multicontrol Application for Vacon NXL uses direct frequency
reference from the analogue input 1 as a default. However, a PID
controller can be used e.g. in pump and fan applications, which
offers versatile internal measuring and adjusting functions. This
means that external devices are not necessary. When the drive
is commissioned, the only visible parameter group is B2.1 (Basic
parameters). The special parameters can be browsed and edited
after changing the value of par. 2.1.22 (Parameter conceal).
The direct frequency reference can be used for the control
without the PID controller and it can be selected from the analogue
inputs, fieldbus, keypad, preset speeds or motor potentiometer.
The PID controller reference can be selected from the analogue
inputs, fieldbus, PID keypad reference 1 or by enabling the PID
keypad reference 2 via digital input. The PID controller actual
value can be selected from the analogue inputs, fieldbus or the
actual values of the motor. PID controller can also be used when
the frequency converter is controlled via fieldbus or the control
keypad.
· Digital inputs DIN2, DIN3, (DIN4) and optional dig. inputs DIE1,
DIE2, DIE3 are freely programmable.
· Internal and optional digital/relay and analogue outputs are
freely programmable.
· Analogue input 1 can be programmed as current input, voltage
input or digital input DIN
Additional functions:
· The PID controller can additionally be used from control places
I/O, keypad and fieldbus
· Sleep function
· Actual value supervision function: fully programmable; off,
warning, fault
· Programmable Start/Stop and Reverse signal logic
· Reference scaling
· 2 Preset speeds
· Analogue input range selection, signal scaling, inversion and
filtering
· Frequency limit supervision
· Programmable start and stop functions
· DC-brake at start and stop
· Prohibit frequency area
· Programmable U/f curve and U/f optimisation
· Adjustable switching frequency
· Autorestart function after fault
· Protections and supervisions (all fully programmable; off,

SOFTWARE
Windows based PC utility tools are available for making the use
of the Trend NXL as easy and convenient as possible. The
software is intended for tasks such as commissioning, loading
of various applications, and block programming. The built-in Help
is available in all software. The minimum requirement for using
the software is a PC and the ACC/NXL/RS232PC serial cable, to
be connected to the RS232C terminal behind the control panel.
A standard RS232 cable should not be used.
NCDrive: NCDrive is an easy-to-use commissioning software
for the control of the NXL. NCDrive allows you to load parameters
from the drive, change them, save them in a file or load them back
to the drive, print the parameters on paper or to a file, set
references, start and stop the motor, monitor signals on a graphical
display and to monitor the actual values. You can also compare
sets of drive parameters in order to identify changed values.
In the PARAMETER window you can view, set and store
parameters as well as compare them to user-stored or default
values so that changed values are easily identified.
In the MONITOR window you can monitor a total of eight freely
user-specified variables simultaneously.
NCDrive requires a PC equipped with a Pentium II processor, 32
MB free RAM, 10 MB free disk space and Windows 95/98 or
2000.
NCLoad: This is a tool for loading the following software to the
drive:
a) system software (the operating system)
b) application software
c) option card software
NCLoad is mainly intended for use by variable speed drive
professionals and service personnel. In addition to the system
software, NCLoad is also suitable for loading custom-made
applications to the drive. The minimum hardware requirements
are those of NCDrive.

INSTALLATION
The Trend NXL drive must be installed in a vertical position. It can
be mounted on a wall or in an enclosure using four screws or
bolts. The cooling method for NXL00015, NXL00025, and
NXL0002C1 is convection type. Forced air cooling is used for
NXL0003C1 to NXL0006C1 and NXLAA03 (C2 or C5) to
NXLAA061(C2 or C5). The cooling airflow to the drive must not
be blocked in any way, recirculation of air inside the enclosure
should be avoided.
Enough free space should be left above and below the frequency
converter to ensure sufficient circulation and cooling.The
following table gives the required clearance dimensions.

be grounded at both the NXL drive and at the motor.
The installation involves:
mount the controller in position
connect mains cable
connect motor cable
check mains and motor cable insulation
connect control cable
check quality and quantity of cooling air
check inside of drive for condensation
set up links on basic board
check all start/stop switches connected to I/O are at stop
switch on power to drive
