2. KEYPAD OF THE DRIVE

The control keypad is the interface between the Vacon 100 frequency converter and the user.
With the control keypad it is possible to control the speed of a motor, to supervise the state of
the equipment and to set the frequency converter's parameters.

There are two keypad types you can choose for your user interface: Keypad with graphical
display and keypad with text segment display (text keypad).

The button section of the keypad is identical for both keypad types.

2.1.2.2 Resetting fault

Instructions for how to reset a fault can be found in Chapter 3.8.1 on page 111.

2.1.2.3

The LOC/REM button is used for two functions: to quickly access the Control page and to easily
change between the Local (Keypad) and Remote control places.

Control places

The control place is the source of control where the drive can be started and stopped. Every
control place has its own parameter for selecting the frequency reference source. In the HVAC
drive, the Local control place is always the keypad. The Remote control place is
determined by parameter P1.15 (I/O or Fieldbus). The selected control place can be seen on
the status bar of the keypad.

Remote control place

I/O A, I/O B and Fieldbus can be used as remote control places. I/O A and Fieldbus have the
lowest priority and can be chosen with parameter P3.2.1 (Rem Control Place). I/O B, again,
can bypass the remote control place selected with parameter P3.2.1 using a digital input. The
digital input is selected with parameter P3.5.1.5 (I/O B Ctrl Force).

Local control

Keypad is always used as control place while in local control. Local control has higher priority
than remote control. Therefore, if, for example, bypassed by parameter P3.5.1.5 through
digital input while in Remote, the control place will still switch to Keypad if Local is selected.
Switching between Local and Remote Control can be done by pressing the Loc/Rem-button on
the keypad or by using the "Local/Remote" (ID211) parameter.

Changing control places

Change of control place from Remote to Local (keypad).

1. Anywhere in the menu structure, push the Loc/Rem button.

2. Push the Arrow up or the Arrow down button to select Local/Remote and confirm with

the OK button.

3. On the next display, select Local or Remote and again confirm with the OK button.

2.1.2.4 Copying parameters

NOTE! This feature is available in graphical keypad only.

The parameter copy function can be used to copy parameters from one drive to another.

The parameters are first saved to the keypad, then the keypad is detached and connected to
another drive. Finally the parameters are downloaded to the new drive restoring them from the
keypad.

Before any parameters can successfully be copied from one drive to another the drive has to
be stopped when the parameters are downloaded.

• First go into User settings menu and locate the Parameter backup submenu.
In the Parameter backup submenu, there are three possible functions to be selected:

• Restore factory defaults will re-establish the parameter settings originally made
at the factory.

•By selecting Save to keypad you can copy all parameters to the keypad.

• Restore from keypad will copy all parameters from keypad to a drive.

Figure 6. Parameter copy

NOTE! If the keypad is changed between drives of different sizes, the copied values of these
parameters will not be used:

Motor nominal current (P3.1.1.4)
Motor nominal voltage (P3.1.1.1)
Motor nominal speed (P3.1.1.3)

The Vacon HVAC application is an easy-to-use application for not only basic Pump and Fan
applications where only one motor and one drive is needed but also offers extensive
possibilities for PID control.

Features

• Start-Up Wizard for extremely fast setup for basic pump or fan applications.

• Mini-Wizards to ease the setup of applications.

• Loc/Rem button for easy change between Local (keypad) and Remote control place.

The remote control place is selectable by parameter. (I/O or Fieldbus)

• Control page for easy operation and monitoring of the most essential values.

• Run interlock input (Damper interlock). Drive will not start before this input is

activated.

•Different pre-heat modes used to avoid condensation problems.

• Maximum output frequency 320 Hz

• Real-time clock and timer functions available (optional battery required). Possible to

program 3 time channels to achieve different functions on the drive (e.g. Start/Stop and
Preset frequencies).

• External PID-controller available.

• Sleep mode function which automatically enables and disables drive running with user

defined levels to save energy.

• 2-zone PID-controller (2 different feedback signals; minimum and maximum control).

• Two setpoint sources for the PID-control. Selectable with digital input.

• PID setpoint boost function

• Feedforward function to improve the response to the process changes.

• Process value supervision

• Multi-Pump control

• Pressure loss compensation for compensating pressure losses in the pipework e.g.

when sensor is incorrectly placed near the pump or fan.

Can be used to control e.g. a valve using the drive’s I/O.

3.4 HVAC Application - Quick setup parameter group

The Quick Setup parameter group is a collection of parameters that are most commonly used
during installation and commissioning. They are collected in the first parameter group so that
they can be found fast and easily. They can, however, be also reached and edited in their actual
parameter groups. Changing a parameter value in the Quick setup group also changes the
value of this parameter in its actual group.

3.6.2 Parameter programming

The programming of digital inputs in Vacon HVAC Application is very flexible. There are no
digital terminals assigned only for certain function. You can choose the terminal of your choice
for the certain function, in other words, functions appear as parameters which the operator
defines a certain input for. For a list of functions for the digital inputs, see Table 45 on page 56.

Also

Time Channels can be assigned to digital inputs. See more information on page 70.

The selectable values of the programmable parameters are of type

DigIN SlotA.1 (graphical keypad) or

dI A.1 (text keypad)

in which

‘DigIN / dI’ stand for digital input.
‘Slot_’ refers to the board;
A and B are Vacon AC drive standard boards, D and E are option boards (see Figure 14). See

Chapter 3.6.2.3.
The number after the board letter refers to the respective terminal on the selected board.
Hence, SlotA.1 / A.1 means terminal DIN1 on the standard board in board slot A. The
parameter (signal) is not connected to any terminal, i.e. it is not used, if, instead of a letter, the
final number is preceded by a ‘0’ (for example DigIN Slot0.1 / dI 0.1).

3.6.11 Group 3.9: Protections

Parameters of Motor thermal protection (P3.9.6 to P3.9.10)

The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The drive is capable of
supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load requires this high current there
is a risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded. This is the case especially at low
frequencies. At low frequencies the cooling effect of the motor is reduced as well as its
capacity. If the motor is equipped with an external fan the load reduction at low speeds is small.

The motor thermal protection is based on a calculated model and it uses the output current of
the drive to determine the load on the motor.

The motor thermal protection can be adjusted with parameters. The thermal current I

T

specifies the load current above which the motor is overloaded. This current limit is a function
of the output frequency.

The thermal stage of the motor can be monitored on the control keypad display. See
Chapter 3.5.

If you use long motor cables (max. 100 m) together with small drives (≤ 1.5 kW) the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor
current due to capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up
the motor thermal protection functions.

The calculated model does not protect the motor if the airflow to the motor is
reduced by blocked air intake grill. If the control board is powered off, the model is
initialised based on the value which had been calculated before the power off
(memory functionality).

Parameters of Stall protection (P3.9.11 to P3.9.14)

The motor stall protection protects the motor from short time overload situations such as one
caused by a stalled shaft. The reaction time of the stall protection can be set shorter than that
of motor thermal protection. The stall state is defined with two parameters, P3.9.12 (

current

) and P3.9.14 (Stall frequency limit). If the current is higher than the set limit and the

Stall

output frequency is lower than the set limit the stall state is true. There is actually no real
indication of the shaft rotation. Stall protection is a type of overcurrent protection.

If you use long motor cables (max. 100 m) together with small drives (≤ 1.5 kW) the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor
current due to capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up
the motor thermal protection functions.

Parameters of Underload protection (P3.9.15 to P3.9.18)

The purpose of the motor underload protection is to ensure that there is load on the motor
when the drive is running. If the motor loses its load there might be a problem in the process,
e.g. a broken belt or a dry pump.

Motor underload protection can be adjusted by setting the underload curve with parameters
P3.9.16 (Underload protection: Field weakening area load) and P3.9.17 (

Zero frequency load

), see below. The underload curve is a squared curve set between the zero

Underload protection:

frequency and the field weakening point. The protection is not active below 5Hz (the underload
time counter is stopped).

vacon • 67 Vacon HVAC Application

13006.emf

The torque values for setting the underload curve are set in percentage which refers to the
nominal torque of the motor. The motor's name plate data, parameter motor nominal current
and the drive's nominal current I

are used to find the scaling ratio for the internal torque

L

value. If other than nominal motor is used with the drive, the accuracy of the torque calculation
decreases.

If you use long motor cables (max. 100 m) together with small drives (≤ 1.5 kW) the
motor current measured by the drive can be much higher than the actual motor
current due to capacitive currents in the motor cable. Consider this when setting up
the motor thermal protection functions.

3.6.13 Group 3.11: Timer functions

The time functions (Time Channels) in the Vacon 100 give you the possibility to program
functions to be controlled by the internal RTC (Real Time Clock). Practically every function that
can be controlled by a digital input can also be controlled by a Time Channel. Instead of having
an external PLC controlling a digital input you can program the "closed" and "opened"
intervals of the input internally.

NOTE! The functions of this parameter group can be made the fullest advantage of only if the
battery (option) has been installed and the Real Time Clock settings have been properly made
during the Startup Wizard (see page 2 and page 3). It is not recommended to use these
function without battery backup because the drive’s time and date settings will be reset at
every power down if no battery for the RTC is installed.

Time channels

The on/off logic for the
them. One

Time channel can be controlled by many Intervals or Timers by assigning as many

of these as needed to the

Time channels is configured by assigning Intervals or/and Timers to

Time channel.

Figure 15. The intervals and timers can be assigned to time channels in a flexible way.

Every interval and timer has its own parameter for assigning to a time channel.

Intervals

Every interval is given an "ON Time" and "OFF Time" with parameters. This is the daily time
that the interval will be active during the days set with "From Day" and “To Day” parameters.
E.g. the parameter setting below means that the interval is active from 7 am to 9 am every
weekday (Monday to Friday). The Time Channel to which this Interval is assigned will be seen
as a closed "virtual digital input" during that period.

ON Time: 07:00:00
OFF Time: 09:00:00
From Day: Monday
To Day: Friday

Figure 16. Activation signal comes from a digital input or " a virtual digital input" such as a

Time channel. The Timer counts down from falling edge.

The below parameters will set the Timer active when Digital Input 1 on Slot A is closed and
keep it active for 30 s after it is opened.

Duration: 30 s

Tip: A duration of 0 seconds can be used for simply overriding a Time channel activated from

a digital input without any off delay after the falling edge.

EXAMPLE

Problem:

We have a frequency converter for air conditioning in a warehouse. It needs to run between 7
am - 5 pm on weekdays and 9 am - 1 pm on weekends. Additionally, we need to be able to
manually force the drive to run outside working hours if there are people in the building and to
leave it running for 30 min afterwards.

Solution:

We need to set up two intervals, one for weekdays and one for weekends. A Timer is also
needed for activation outside the office hours. An example of configuration below.

3.6.14.4 Feedforward

Feedforward usually needs accurate process models, but in some simple cases a gain + offset
type of feedforward is enough. The feedforward part does not use any feedback measurements
of the actual controlled process value (water level in the example on page 103). Vacon
feedforward control uses other measurements which are indirectly affecting the controlled
process value.

The

Multi-pump functionality allows you to control up to 4 motors (pumps, fans) with PID

controller 1. The AC drive is connected to one motor which is the "regulating" motor
connecting and disconnecting the other motors to/from the mains, by means of contactors
controlled with relays when needed in order to maintain the right setpoint. The

Autochange

function controls the order/priority in which the motors are started in order to guarantee their
equal wear. The controlling motor can be included in the autochange and interlocks logic, or,
it may be selected to always functions as Motor 1. Motors can be taken out of use momentarily,
e.g. for service, using the motor

3.7 HVAC Application - Additional parameter information

Due to its user-friendliness and simplicity of use, the most parameters of the Vacon HVAC
Application only require a basic description which is given in the parameter tables in
Chapter 3.6.

In this ch apter, yo u will fi nd addit ional inf ormation on certain most advanced parameters of the
Vacon HVAC Application. Should you not find the information you need contact your distributor.

P3.1.1.7 MOTOR CURRENT LIMIT

This parameter determines the maximum motor current from the AC drive. The parameter
value range differs from size to size.

When the current limit is active the drive output frequency is decreased.

NOTE! This is not an overcurrent trip limit.

P3.1.2.9 U/F RATIO SELECTION

Selection

number

Selection name Description

0Linear

1Squared

The voltage of the motor changes linearly as a function of
output frequency from zero frequency voltage (P3.1.2.4) to the
field weakening point (FWP) voltage at FWP frequency. This
default setting should be used if there is no special need for
another setting.

The voltage of the motor changes from zero point voltage
(P3.1.2.4) following a squared curve form from zero to the field
weakening point. The motor runs undermagnetised below the
field weakening point and produces less torque. Squared U/f
ratio can be used in applications where torque demand is
proportional to the square of the speed, e.g. in centrifugal fans
and pumps.

Vacon HVAC Application vacon • 86

P3.1.2.15 OVERVOLTAGE CONTROLLER
P3.1.2.16 UNDERVOLTAGE CONTROLLER

These parameters allow the under-/overvoltage controllers to be switched out of operation.
This may be useful, for example, if the mains supply voltage varies more than -15% to +10%
and the application will not tolerate this over-/undervoltage. In this case, the regulator
controls the output frequency taking the supply fluctuations into account.

P3.1.2.17 STATOR VOLTAGE ADJUST

Stator voltage adjust parameter is used only when Permanent magnet motor (PM motor) has
been selected for parameter P3.1.1.8. This parameter has no affect if Induction motor has been
selected. With an induction motor in use, the value has been internally forced to 100% and it
cannot be changed.

When the value of parameter P3.1.1.8 (Motor type) parameter is changed to PM Motor, the U/f
curve will be automatically extended up to the limits of the drive's full output voltage, retaining
the defined U/f-ratio. This internal extension is done to avoid running the PM motor in the field
weakening area because the PM motor nominal voltage is typically much lower than the full
output voltage capability of the drive.

PM motor nominal voltage typically represents the motor’s back-EMF voltage at nominal
frequency, but depending on the motor manufacturer, it may represent e.g. the stator voltage
at nominal load.

This parameter gives an easy way to adjust the drive’s U/f curve near to the motor’s back­EMF-curve without needing to change several U/f curve parameters.

The Stator voltage adjust parameter defines the drive’s output voltage in percent of the
motor’snominal voltage at the motor’s nominal frequency.

The U/f curve of the drive is typically tuned slightly above the back-EMF curve of the motor.
Themotor current increases the more the drive’s U/f-curve differs from the motor’s back-EMF

-curve.

P3.2.6 I/O START/STOP LOGIC

Values 0...4 offer possibilities to control the starting and stopping of the AC drive with digital
signal connected to digital inputs. CS = Control signal.

Selection name Description

The motor is allowed to stop on its own inertia. The control by
the drive is discontinued and the drive current drops to zero as
soon as the stop command is given.

After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated
according to the set deceleration parameters to zero speed.

The selections including the text 'edge' shall be used to exclude the possibility of an
unintentional start when, for example, power is connected, re-connected after a power failure,
after a fault reset, after the drive is stopped by Run Enable (Run Enable = False) or when the
control place is changed to I/O control. The Start/Stop contact must be opened before the

motor can be started.

The start and end of acceleration and deceleration ramps can be smoothed with this
parameter. Setting value 0 gives a linear ramp shape which causes acceleration and
deceleration to act immediately to the changes in the reference signal.

Setting value 0.1…10 seconds for this parameter produces an S-shaped acceleration/
deceleration. The acceleration time is determined with parameters P3.4.2 and P3.4.3. See
Figure 24.

These parameters are used to reduce mechanical erosion and current spikes when the

LUX BRAKING

Instead of DC braking, flux braking is a useful way to raise the braking capacity in cases where
additional brake resistors are not needed.

When braking is needed, the frequency is reduced and the flux in the motor is increased, which
in turn increases the motor's capability to brake. Unlike DC braking, the motor speed remains
controlled during braking.

The flux braking can be set ON or OFF.

NOTE! Flux braking converts the energy into heat at the motor, and should be used
intermittently to avoid motor damage.

An alarm message or a fault action and message is generated by an external fault external
fault signal in one of the programmable digital inputs (DI3 by default) using parameters
P3.5.1.7 and P3.5.1.8. The information can also be programmed into any of the relay outputs.

P3.9.8 MOTOR THERMAL ZERO SPEED COOLING

Defines the cooling factor at zero speed in relation to the point where the motor is running at
nominal speed without external cooling. See Table 55.

The default value is set assuming that there is no external fan cooling the motor. If an external
fan is used this parameter can be set to 90% (or even higher).

If you change the parameter P3.1.1.4
restored to the default value.

Setting this parameter does not affect the maximum output current of the drive which is
determined by parameter P3.1.1.7 alone.

The corner frequency for the thermal protection is 70% of the motor nominal frequency
(P3.1.1.2).

OTOR THERMAL TIME CONSTANT

The time constant is the time within which the calculated thermal stage has reached 63% of its
final value. The bigger the frame and/or slower the speed of the motor, the longer the time
constant.

The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between different motor
manufacturers. The default value of the parameter varies from size to size.

If the motor's t6-time (t6 is the time in seconds the motor can safely operate at six times the
rated current) is known (given by the motor manufacturer) the time constant parameter can be
set basing on it. As a rule of thumb, the motor thermal time constant in minutes equals to 2*t6.
If the drive is in stop stage the time constant is internally increased to three times the set
parameter value. The cooling in stop stage is based on convection and the time constant is
increased.

See Figure 27.
