Note:There are two screw holes on the drive for use as ground terminals. When connecting three
options, two ground wires will need to share the same drive ground terminal.
Route the option wiring.
1.
Depending on the drive model, some drives may require routing the wiring through
the side of the front cover to the outside to provide adequate space for the wiring. In
these cases, using diagonal cutting pliers, cut out the perforated openings on the left
side of the drive front cover. Sharp edges along the cut out should be smoothed down
with a file or sand paper to prevent any damage to the wires.
Route the communication wiring inside the enclosure for drives that do not require
routing through the front cover. Refer to Table 5 and Figure 7 to determine the proper
wire routing by drive model.
Figure 9 explains the wiring for multiple connections.

5 Installation Procedure
Figure 10 System Overview-Connecting Multiple Drives to the Network
The two ends of the network must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor between the “+” and
“-” and signals. The SI-J3 has a built in termination resistor that can be enabled or disabled
using DIP switch S1. If a drive is located at the end of a network line, enable the termination
resistor by setting DIP switch S1 to the ON position. Disable the termination resistor on all
slaves that are not located at the end of the network line by setting DIP switch S1 to the OFF
position (The factory setting for DIP switch S1 is OFF).
The following parameters are used to set up the drive for operation with the option. Parameter
setting instructions can be found in the drive Quick Start Guide or Technical Manual.
Confirm proper setting of the all parameters in Table 6 before starting network
communications. After changing parameter settings, cycle power to the drive for the new
settings to take effect.

can be used and related parameter settings.
u
Observing the Drive Operation
A controller can perform the following actions with network communications at any time
regardless of parameter settings:
• observe drive status and drive control terminal status from a controller
• read and write parameters
• set and reset faults
• set multi-function inputs.
Note:

Controlling the Drive
Table 8 Setting Parameters for Drive Control from Metasys N2 or APOGEE FLN P1
To prevent a communications overrun in the slave drive, the master should wait a certain time
between sending messages to the same drive. Similarly, the slave drive must wait before
sending response messages to prevent an overrun in the master. This section explains the
message timing.
u
Command Messages from Master to Drive
The master must wait for a specified time between receiving a response and resending the
same type of command to the same slave drive to prevent overrun and data loss. The minimum
wait time depends on the command as shown in Table 9.

Set a timer in the master to check how long it takes for the slave drive(s) to respond to the
master. The master should try resending the message if no response is received within a certain
amount of time.
Each of the following functions must be enabled during start-up of the drive:
Start and Stop the Drive
n
Set the Run Forward Command (BO 1) to run the drive in the forward direction. Set the Run
Reverse Command (BO 2) to run the drive in the reverse direction. Run/Stop Monitor (BI 1)
shows the current run status of the drive. Forward/Reverse Monitor (BI 2) shows the current
direction.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Improper drive direction may damage HVAC equipment if parameter b1-04,
Reverse Enable, is set to 0 (Enable). Confirm proper motor rotation prior to connecting the load to the motor.
Lock the Drive Panel
n
Locking the panel prevents the user from using the LOCAL/REMOTE and STOP keys locally
at the drive panel. Panel Lock (BO 10) can be commanded to lock and unlock the panel.
Digital Inputs
n
Multi-Function Input S3 (BO 5) through Multi-Function Input S7 (BO 9) are physical digital
inputs on the drive. They can be set either by external devices, such as limit or pressure
switches, or by the network. Their function depends on how the drive has been programmed.
Refer to the drive manual section on Multi-Function Inputs (H1-03 through H1-07) for detailed
information on the use and programming of the multi-function inputs. The multi-function
input status can be monitored through Multi-Function Input 1 Monitor (BI 14) through MultiFunction Input 5 Monitor (BI 19).The multi-function inputs can be set by both external devices
or over the network.
Note:The multi-function inputs can be set by both external devices or over the network. Use caution when
connecting the multi-function inputs to external devices to ensure correct system operation.
Loop Gain
n
PI Proportional Gain (AO 4) and PI Integral Time (AO 5) are the gain and integral time
parameters used by the drive. The PI loop is structured differently than the Metasys loop.
Refer to the drive manual section on PID for information on how the PI loop functions.
The Fault Monitor (BI 4) and Drive Ready Monitor (BI 3) show the current status of the drive.
The Fault Code (AI 10) contains the code for the most current fault. The LST Fault Code (AI
19) contains the code for the previous fault. Refer to Drive Fault Trace Register Contents
on page 51 for the purpose of interpreting fault codes. The drive faults can be reset through
the Fault Reset Command (BO 4). The Fault Reset Command is only available when the Run
Forward Command and the Run Reverse Command are both OFF.
Set a timer in the master to check how long it takes for the slave drive(s) to respond to the
master. The master should try resending the message if no response is received within a certain
amount of time.
u
Metasys N2 Point Database
This section describes the Metasys N2 point database. This database features logical points:
Analog Inputs (AI), Analog Outputs (AO), Binary Inputs (BI) and Binary Outputs (BO). These
points configure, control, and monitor the operation of the drive.

Metasys N2 Cable Loss Configuration and Behavior
This section describes the configurable cable loss feature of the drive. This feature offers a
user maximum flexibility in determining drive response to a loss of communication.
The drive can be configured to respond to an interval without receipt of a message in one of
the following methods:
• Continue at last speed
• Continue at last speed with alarm
• Continue at preset speed
• Ramp to Stop with EF0 fault
• Coast to Stop with EF0 fault
• Emergency Stop with EF0 fault
Metasys N2 I/O
n
Three Metasys N2 outputs are used to select the desired behavior:
• AO 21 -Cable Loss Timeout
• AO 22 -Cable Loss Speed
• BO 11 -Communication Fault

<1>Not all drives support setting F6-01=4.
Note:1. Communication must first be established and then lost for these features to function as described. A
communications timeout does not occur if a drive is powered-up without a cable connected or with
the master controller offline.
2. A run command must have been issued (BO 1=ON or BO 2=ON) prior to loss of communications
for modes that describe the drive running after a communications timeout. The drive will not
automatically restart from a stopped condition for safety purposes. Additional external wiring is
required (consult factory) if a user requires the drive to restart automatically.

A BUS fault will be declared and will remain until communication is restored upon expiration
of the communications timeout interval.
Cable Loss Timeout (AO 21) is set to 0, disabling the cable loss feature in this mode. The
other two settings Cable Loss Speed (AO 22) and Communication Fault Enable (BO 11) are
ignored. The drive simply maintains its last commanded state if communication is lost. The
drive will not display an alarm or fault to indicate it has lost communication. This behavior
can also be achieved by setting parameter F6-01 to 3. The drive will display an alarm and
continue running. The Communication Fault Enable (BO 11) must be enabled and Cable Loss
Timeout (AO 21) should be set to a value other than 0 for this specific condition.
Continue at Preset Speed
n
Cable Loss Timeout (AO 21) is set to the desired interval, Cable Loss Speed (AO 22) is set
to the desired preset speed and F6-01 is set to 4 in this mode. The drive speed command (AO
1) is set to the Cable Loss Speed (AO 22) and the drive continues running at this new speed
if the time between messages exceeds the timeout interval. Communication Fault Enable (BO
11) must be set to ON.
Stop with Fault (BUS)
n
Communication Fault Enable (BO 11) must be set to ON. Cable Loss Timeout (AO 21) is set
to the desired interval and parameter F6-01 is set to a value of 0,1 or 2 in this mode. If the
time between messages exceeds the timeout interval, the drive will declare a BUS fault and
the drive speed command (AO 1) will be set to 0. The stopping method is determined by the
setting of F6-01.
• F6-01=0 selects Ramp to Stop. The deceleration time or the slope of the ramp is determined
by the setting of drive parameter C1-02.
• F6-0 =1 selects Coast to Stop. The drive does not attempt to control the rate of deceleration.
• F6-0 =2 selects Emergency or Fast Stop. The deceleration time is determined by the setting
of drive parameter C1-09.
Note:The behavior of the drive at cable loss is controlled by parameter F6-01. This drive parameter works
with the points as described in the table above to determine how the drive will respond to a cable loss.
The drive will continue in its last state if the cable loss fault is disabled. The drive will continue to run
at the last commanded frequency if running.
Two points are defined for reading drive parameters:
• AO 30 - Specifies the parameter to be read from the drive.
• AI 38 - Reports the value of the parameter specified in AO 30.
The mailbox retrieves data from the parameter and sends it to the controller when this point
is read.
Example: Writing a value of 387 (183 hex) to AO 30 specifies drive parameter b1-04. Reading
AI 38 returns the current setting of parameter b1-04 to the controller.
Writing Drive Parameters
n
Two points are defined for writing drive parameters:
• AO 31 - Specifies the parameter to be written to.
• AO 32 - Entry location of the value to be written to the parameter specified in AO 31. The
mailbox will write the value to the drive when this point is written. An ENTER or ACCEPT
command does not need to be sent for the data to be taken by the drive. The behavior of
the write is the same as with the digital operator. There are a limited number of drive
parameters that can be written to when the drive is running.
Example: Writing a value of 387 (183 hex) to AO 31 specifies drive parameter b1-04. Writing
a value of 1 to AO 32 sets b1-04 to 1 and enables the drive for reverse run.
Several drive parameters are available for monitoring purposes. The available parameters include
FREQ OUTPUT (Point 3), SPEED (Point 5), CURRENT (Point 6), TORQUE (Point 7), POWER
(Point 8), DRIVE TEMP (Point 9), KWH (Point 10), and RUN TIME (Point 12). These points can
be unbundled for monitoring or used in various global control strategies.
u
Drive Controlled Feedback
The most typical application is Supervisory Control. The sensor for the control variable (e.g.,
water temperature) is hard-wired to the drive and the control device (fan) is modulated using
the PI control loop built into the drive. The setpoint for the control variable (water temperature
set point) is unbundled and commanded by the field panel, based on the building control
strategy implemented in PPCL.
The point to unbundle and command for the set point is INPUT REF 1 (Point 60) when this
strategy is used. The control variable (e.g., water temperature) can be monitored by unbundling
PI FEEDBACK (Point 62). These points are provided in units of percent, where 0% and 100%
correspond to the range of the sensor being used to measure the control variable. These points
have default units in Hz. Unbundle these points with appropriate slopes and intercepts if other
units are required. The new intercept will be equal to the lowest value of the desired range.
The following formulas allow the user to define a new slope and intercept to convert the unit.
The following formulas allow the user to define a new slope and intercept to convert the unit.
Conversion Example
n
The drive is controlling a fan, which in turn is controlling the water temperature from a cooling
tower. The temperature sensor has a range of -1 °C to +121 °C (30 °F to 250 °F). To unbundle
the set point (INPUT REF 1), for commanding in degrees Fahrenheit, where 0 to 60 Hz is equal
to -1 °C to +121 °C: New Intercept=30 (the temperature that corresponds to 0%).
Note:1. Desired Range=Range Maximum - Range Minimum
2. Range of Existing Point=Existing Range Maximum - Existing Range Minimum
The sensor is connected to the APOGEE FLN network at a remote location and the control
loop is executed in PPCL using this strategy. The drive speed command is passed from the
field panel to the drive by commanding INPUT REF 1 (Point 60).
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Avoid using this strategy. This strategy is not recommended because it
means that the loop is being closed over the network. Delays due to processor scan time and network traffic
can cause control to be degraded or lost and damage to HVAC equipment may result.
Unbundle the Feedback
n
Unbundling the feedback (PI FEEDBACK) for monitoring in degrees Fahrenheit:
New Intercept = 30

Other Functionalities
Enable the following functions during start-up of the drive:
Enable the Drive to Run
n
RUN ENABLE (Point 35) can be commanded to require the drive to have a physical input
(Terminal S3) set before the drive can run. This works in conjunction with CMD RUN.STOP
(Point 24) or the CMD REV.STOP (Point 22). If RUN ENABLE (Point 35) is commanded
ON then terminal S3 needs to be on and CMD RUN.STOP (Point 24) or CMD REV.STOP
(Point 22) needs to be commanded ON for the drive to run.
Alternately, RUN ENABLE (Point 35) is commanded OFF, then to run the drive CMD
RUN.STOP (Point 24) or CMD REV.STOP (Point 22) is the only point that needs to be
commanded ON.
Start and Stop the Drive
n
CMD RUN.STOP (Point 24) can be commanded to run the drive in the forward direction.
STOP.RUN (Point 23) shows the current status of the drive.
CMD REV.STOP (Point 22) can be commanded to run the drive in the reverse direction.
FWD.REV (Point 21) shows the current direction of the drive rotation.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Improper drive direction may damage HVAC equipment if parameter b1-04,
Reverse Enable, is improperly set (b1-04=0). Confirm proper motor rotation prior to connecting the load to
the motor.
Lock the Drive Panel
n
Locking the panel prevents the user from using the LOCAL/REMOTE and STOP keys locally
at the drive panel. LOCK PANEL (Point 33) can be commanded to lock and unlock the panel.
Digital Outputs
n
MULTI OUT 1 (Point 40), MULTI OUT 2 (Point 41), and MULTI OUT 3 (Point 42) are
physical digital outputs on the drive. Their purpose depends on how the drive has been setup. The drive can be programmed so that these points can display various limits, warnings,
and status conditions. Some examples include frequency limit, over current, and motor over
temperature fault.
Loop Gain
n
PID P GAIN (Point 63) and PID I TIME (Point 64) are the gain and integral time parameters
similar to the P and I gains in the APOGEE FLN Terminal Equipment Controllers. The PI
loop of the drive is structured differently than the Siemens loop, so there is not a one-to-one
correspondence between the gains.
Reading and Resetting Faults
n
OK.FAULT (Point 93) shows the current status of the drive. FAULT CODE (Point 17)
contains the code for the most current fault. LST FLT CODE (Point 66) contains the code for
the previous fault. Refer to APOGEE FLN P1 Application 2721 Point Number Summary
on page 39 for descriptions of the fault codes. The drive can be reset back to OK mode by
commanding RESET FAULT (Point 94) to RESET. The RESET FAULT command is only
available when the CMD RUN.STOP (Point 24) and CMD REV.STOP (Point 22) are both
STOP.
u
APOGEE FLN Point Database
This section shows the APOGEE FLN point database for Application 2721.
APOGEE FLN Point List Summary
n
This database is for APOGEE FLN Application 2721 and features logical points: Logical
Analog Inputs (LAI), Logical Analog Outputs (LAO), Logical Digital Inputs (LDI) and
Logical Digital Outputs (LDO). These points configure, control or monitor the operation of
the drive.

APOGEE FLN P1 Cable Loss Configuration and Behavior
This section describes the configurable cable loss feature of the drive. This feature offers a
user maximum flexibility in determining the drive response to a loss of communication.
Drive Behavior At Loss of Communication
n
The drive can be configured to respond in one of the following manners after some interval
without receipt of a message:
Three APOGEE FLN points are used to select the desired behavior:
• POINT 92 - CBL LOSS TMR
• POINT 91 - CBL LOSS FRQ
• POINT 90 - COMM FLT ENA

<1>Not all drives support setting F6-01=4.
Note:1. Communication must first be established and then lost for these features to function as described. A
communications timeout does not occur if a drive is powered-up without a cable connected or with
the master controller offline.
2. A Run command must have been issued (RUN ENABLE (Point 35)=ON and either CMD RUN.FWD
(Point 22)=ON or CMD RUN.REV (Point 24)=ON) prior to loss of communications for modes which
describe the drive running after a communications timeout. The drive will not automatically restart
from a stopped condition for safety purposes. Additional external wiring is required to accomplish
this (consult factory) if a user requires the drive to restart automatically.
COMM FLT
ENA
(Point 90)
A BUS fault will be declared and will remain until communication is restored upon expiration
of the communications timeout interval.
Continue at Last Speed
CBL LOSS TMR (POINT 92) is set to 0, disabling the cable loss feature in this mode. The
other two settings, CBL LOSS FRQ (POINT 91) and COMM FLT ENA (POINT 90), are
ignored. The drive maintains its last commanded state if communication is lost. The drive will
not display an alarm or fault to indicate it has lost communication. This behavior can also be
achieved by setting parameter F6-01 to 3. The drive will display an alarm and continue
running. The COMM FLT ENA (POINT 90) must be enabled and CBL LOSS TMR (POINT
91) should be set to a value other than 0 for this specific condition. A BUS drive alarm will
be set.
CBL LOSS TMR (POINT 92) is set to the desired interval, CBL LOSS FRQ (POINT 91) is
set to the desired preset speed and F6-01 is set to 4 in this mode. The drive speed command,
INPUT REF 1, (Point 60) is set to the CBL LOSS FRQ (POINT 91) and the drive continues
running at this new speed If the time between messages exceeds the timeout interval. COMM
FLT ENA (POINT 90) must be set to ON.
Stop with Fault (BUS)
COMM FLT ENA (POINT 90) must be set to ON. CBL LOSS TMR (POINT 92) is set to the
desired interval and parameter F6-01 is set to a value of 0, 1, or 2 in this mode. The drive will
declare a BUS fault and drive’s speed command, INPUT REF 1, (Point 60) is set to 0 if the
time between messages exceeds the timeout interval. The stopping method is determined by
the setting of F6-01.
• F6-01=0 selects Ramp to Stop. The deceleration time or the slope of the ramp is determined
by the setting of drive
parameter C1-02.
• F6-01=1 selects Coast to Stop. The drive does not attempt to control the rate of deceleration.
• F6-01=2 selects Fast Stop. The deceleration time is determined by the setting of drive
parameter C1-09.
Note:The behavior of the drive at cable loss is controlled by parameter H5-04. This drive parameter works
u
n
with the points as described in the table above to determine how the drive will respond to a cable loss.
The drive will continue in its last state if running, the drive will continue to run at the last commanded
frequency if the cable loss fault is disabled.
APOGEE FLN P1 Mailbox Function
Reading a Drive Parameter
Two points are defined for reading any drive parameter:
• #70 Specifies the parameter to be read from the drive
• #71 Reports the value of the parameter specified in Point #70
The mailbox retrieves data from the parameter and sends it to the controller when this point
is read.
Example: Writing a value of 387 (183H) to Point #70 specifies drive parameter b1-04. Reading
Point #71 returns the current setting of parameter b1-04 to the controller.
Writing to a Drive Parameter
n
Two points are defined for writing to any drive parameter:
• #72 Specifies the parameter to be written to
• #73 Entry location of the value to be written to the parameter specified in Point #72
The mailbox will write the value to the drive when this point is written. An ENTER or
ACCEPT command does not need to be sent for the data to be taken by the drive. The behavior
of the write is the same as with the digital operator. There are a limited number of drive
parameters that can be written if the drive is running.
Example: Writing a value of 387 (183H) to Point #72 specifies drive parameter b1-04. Writing
a value of 1 to Point #73 enables the drive for reverse run.
Drive-side error codes appear on the drive digital operator. Causes of the errors and corrective
actions are listed below. Refer to the drive manual for additional error codes that may appear
on the drive digital operator.
Faults
n
Both BUS (SI-J3 option communication error) and EF0 (External fault input from the SI-J3
option) can appear as an alarm or as a fault. The digital operator ALM LED remains lit when
a fault occurs. The ALM LED flashes when an alarm occurs.
Use the following questions as a guide to help remedy the fault if communication stops while
the drive is running:
• Is the option properly installed?
• Are the communication lines properly connected to the option? Are the wires loose?
• Is the controller program working? Has the controller/PLC CPU stopped?
• Did a momentary power loss interrupt communications?
