General product information
2.7 General product information
The digital 3-phase current servo amplifiers DS/DPC xxx as component (BDM) in combination with
the synchronous servo motor (EC motor) or the asynchronous servo motor (ac motor) provide a
drive solution (PDS) free of maintenance and with a wide dynamic control range.
The drive displays the well-known good control characteristics of dc drives without the
disadvantages of the carbon brushes' wear and the commutation limits.
For synchronous motors the generated heat in the motor only occurs in the stator, the rotor
remains cold. The motors can easily be cooled via the surface (efficiency up to 96%).
The physical characteristics correspond to those of dc motors, i.e., the current is proportional to
the torque and the voltage is proportional to the speed. The speed is steadily controlled up to the
current limit (max. torque. In case of an overload the speed drops and the current remains
constant.
The speed/torque characteristic is rectangular.
Current, speed, and position are precisely measured. The field frequency is not controllable, it is
automatically adjusted.
The rotor moment of inertia is notably smaller and the limiting performance is higher which
results in up to 5 times higher acceleration values.
Asynchronous servo motors are less expensive and do not require solenoids in the rotor.
The control characteristics are very good due to the space-vector control, the performance and
the efficiency are lower. Due to the heated rotor it is necessary to use a motor fan for large
control ranges.
The EC and ac motors have the protection rating IP65.
The motor voltages and the motor currents are sinusoidal. A maximum motor efficiency is
achieved by means of a compensating current control.
DS/DPCxx drives can be used as single-axis position amplifiers or torque or speed amplifiers.
The position and speed actual value is generated in the encoder unit (resolver, incremental, or
SIN/COS encoder). The encoder pulses are emitted from the amplifier for a superordinate
PLC/CNC control.
The control circuits of current, speed, and position are PID controllers which are easy to program.
They can be programmed by means of the PC Software NDrive2.
The communication with superordinate controls is effected by means of BUS systems (standard
CAN-BUS, RS232) or by analogue interfaces.
Note:
For dc, ac, or EC servo amplifiers which are supplied by a bus circuit, it must be checked that the
energy is fed back into the bus during brake operation (lift drives, winding machines, great
centrifugal masses).
An internal or possibly external ballast resistor is necessary.

2.11 Safety advices
Machinery directive
The manufacturer of the machine or installation must draw up a hazard analysis for his product.
He must make sure that any unpredictable movements do not cause damage neither to persons
nor to property.
Skilled personnel
Hardware
The skilled qualified personnel must feature a training and instruction for an assignment in the
field of electronic drive engineering. They must have knowledge of the standards and accident
prevention regulations for drive engineering applications and they must be familiar with this field
of activity. Eventually occuring dangerous situations are realized.
The local regulations (IEC, VDE, VGB) are known to the qualified personnel and they are observed
during the works.
Software
The skilled qualified personnel for handling the software must be trained to safely program the
units in the machines and installations. Incorrect parameter settings may cause improper and
impermissible movements. Any parameter settings have to be checked for faulty operation.
Acceptance tests must be thoroughly carried out according the four-eyes principle
Working environment
Incorrect handling of the units may cause damage to persons or property.
When operating the units the switch cabinet must be closed and the safety systems must be
enabled! Exceptions to this are the first commissioning or if switch cabinet repair works have to
be carried out by the skilled qualified personnel.
Any unit covers must not be removed!
Disconnect the power supply prior to any works on electric connections and safeguard the switch
cabinet against switching-on.
Any voltages and residual voltages (buffer circuit) must be measured prior to any works on the
unit. Max. permissible voltage <42 V.
High temperatures > 70°C may arise.

Intended applications
2.12 Intended applications
The devices are designed as components (BDM) to control EC synchronous motors and ac
asynchronous motors in stationary machines or installations.
Any other type of application must be approved by the manufacturer.
Protection rating IP20.
It is only allowed to install the units in stationary switch cabinets or machine frames which are
similar to switch cabinets. Industrial site of operation only.
For applications in residential areas additional EMC measures are necessary.
The user must draw up a hazard analysis for his end product.
Power supply connection only to the earthed TN three-phase current system with a maximum
three-pase voltage of 480V~ (max. 280 V~, phase - N (PE)). For any other types of power supply
(IT, TT power supply) matching transformers have to be installed.
Voltage peaks must not exceed 1000 V between the phase conductors and they must not exceed
2000 V between the phase conductors and the housing.
The capacities between the clocked power modules (converter, motor, filter) result in high
leakage currents. It is necessary to provide a safe and screwed earthing on the switch cabinet and
the motor. Protective earth conductors must comply with the standards EN 50178, EN61800-5-1,
and IEC 364.
Bad protective earth conductors are highly hazardous for health and life.
Protective parts for earth leakage (earth leakage circuit breakers) must be ac/dc sensitive and
designed and rated according to the standards EN 50178.
For emergency battery connection it must be borne in mind that the battery voltages are at
power supply voltage. All safety regulations regarding direct power supply connections must be
observed (protection against accidental contact with exposed parts, short-circuit protection, etc.).
The control connections of the unit (terminals X1, pins X7, X8, X9, X10) adhere to the 'safe
electrical isolation SELV' according to the standard EN 61800-5-1. The user must ensure that the
complete control wiring complies with the standards.
It must be paid attention to the equipotential bonding for components which are connected to
the unit and which do not have isolated inputs and outputs (equalizing connection GND). The
equalizing currents may destroy components and parts.
When measuring the isolation the units must be disconnected or the power connections must be
bridged together and the control connections must be bridged together. Non-observance will
cause damage to the semi-conductors in the unit.
Repeating circuits to earth and short circuits the values of which are all below the response
threshold for short circuits may cause damage to the output stages (conditionally short-circuit
proof acc. to standard EN 50178, EN61800-5-1).
Impermissible applications
- in life-sustaining medical devices or machines
- across unearthed or asymmetrical power supplies
- on ships
