Yaskawa A1000 Application Information

Step

The following procedure is a supplement to other documentation supplied with this equipment and will guide the user in properly wiring the A1000 and motor. It will also show the user how to configure the A1000 in open loop vector mode for a general purpose application.

Danger: Improper wiring can and will cause bodily harm as well as damage to the equipment.

When installing the system, be sure to follow good wiring practices and all applicable codes. Ensure that the mounting of components is secure and that the environment, such as extreme dampness, poor ventilation, etc. will not cause system degradation.

Please read this cheat sheet and other documentation provided with the A1000 thoroughly before attempting any installation.

Motor Rotation Test

In this step the motor is checked for proper direction and operation. This test is to be performed solely from the digital operator. Apply power to the A1000 after all the electrical connections have been made and protective covers have been re-attached. At this point,

DO NOT RUN THE MOTOR, the Digital Operator should display as

shown in Fig. 3.

Fig. 3

Digital Operator

Use precaution, and refer to Fig.1 or 2, swap any two of the three output leads to the motor (U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3). After the wiring change, repeat Step 3 and recheck motor direction.

After the power has been turned OFF, wait at least five minutes until the charge indicator extinguishes completely before touching any wiring, circuit boards or components.

DANGER

If motor rotation is not correct, then either reverse “Phase Order” using parameter b1-14 or power down the drive, wait

five minutes and swap 2 motor leads.

Next, press to move the cursor one

position to the right and to increase the

frequency reference (d1-01) to 10.00 Hz.

Press to save frequency reference.

Next, press on the Digital Operator. The motor

should now be operating at low speed running in the correct forward (clockwise) direction.

Next, press on the Digital Operator.

For standard AC motors

use the default setting for

motor base frequency

(60Hz), motor poles (4) and

motor rated speed.

Press to select the next parameter and follow the same

procedure described above to adjust its value.

Warning! Sudden movement hazard. The A1000 and motor may start unexpectedly during Auto-Tuning.

Warning! Electric Shock Hazard. High voltage will be supplied to the motor when stationary Auto-Tuning is performed. Do not touch the motor during auto-tuning.

Notice: Auto-Tuning will not function properly when a brake is engaged on the load. Ensure the motor shaft can freely rotate. Never perform an Auto-Tune with motor connected to a load.

After setting parameter T1-07 press to select the

Auto-Tuning start command.

Next, press on the Digital Operator. The A1000

will now start the Auto-tuning procedure.

The display will show message ―Tune Successful‖ when the

Auto-Tuning procedure has been successfully completed.

Please reference the A1000 User Manual or repeat the

procedure again if the display shows an error message.

NOT USED

Fig.1 & 2 below show the electrical connections for the

input power and motor terminals for various A1000 models. Select the proper diagram for the model you are installing (see Step 1). WITH POWER OFF make the appropriate connections.

Make sure to follow good wiring practices and all applicable codes. Ensure that the equipment is grounded properly as shown in fig. 1

DANGER; LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT- Before applying power to the A1000, ensure that the terminal cover is fastened and all wiring connections are secure. After the power has been turned OFF, wait at least five minutes until the charge indicator extinguishes completely before touching any wiring, circuit boards or components.

Make sure the A1000 has been properly sized for single phase input power. For best performance, the drive input supply voltage must be at least equal to or greater than the motor rated voltage.

To make sure you received the correct model, it is

essential to verify the A1000 nameplate with your order

and make sure the A1000 has the correct rating so it can

be used with your motor. Please check the nameplate

information as shown in the example below.

· Check that the available power will meet the input power requirements.

· Ensure that the output power from the A1000 is

compatible with the motor requirements.

Mounting the A1000

· In the case of systems with more than one A1000, follow the above procedure for each A1000 and motor.

The mounting of the A1000 is extremely important regarding environment and accessibility. Depending on your system, there are various models available and the mounting dimensions (footprint) may be different. Because the mounting procedure is fairly extensive, it is beyond the scope of this document; the user is referred to the A1000 User Manual (Document No. SIEP C710606 21A) received with the A1000, Section 2.2 Mechanical Installation. Match the model that you received and follow the procedure described in the manual to ensure a safe and functional installation. In cases where the system has more than one A1000, refer to the proper clearances required for adequate ventilation. Please pay particular attention to:

· The clearances to be maintained around the enclosure

for adequate ventilation.

· The environmental specifications such as avoiding excessive dampness, extreme temperatures, chemical exposure, corrosive areas, etc. to avoid damage to the equipment and to maintain safety.

Removing and Attaching the Terminal Cover

Improper removal of the A1000 terminal cover as well as front cover can cause extensive damage to the A1000. To avoid damage to these items, please pay particular attention to the A1000 User Manual, Document No. SIEP C710606 21A, Section 3.5, Removing and Attaching the Terminal

Cover.
