 Wiring Instructions

(1) Always connect the power input terminals R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 (R/L1,

S/L2 for single-phase) and power supply via a molded-case circuit
braker (MCCB) or a fuse. Never connect them to terminals
U/T1,V/T2,W/T3, –, +1 or +2.

Refer to page 108 for recommended peripheral devices. For single­phase inverters, always use terminals R/L1 and S/L2. Never connect to
terminal T/L3.

(2) Connect the motor wiring to terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3 on the

main circuit output side (bottom of the inverter).

(3) If the wiring distance between inverter and motor is long, reduce the

inverter carrier frequency. For details, refer to “Reducing motor noise
or leakage current (n46)” on page 57.

(4) Control wiring must be less than 50m (164ft) in length and separate from

the power wiring. Use twisted-pair shielded wire when inputting the

frequency signal externally.
(5) Tighten the screws on the main circuit and control circuit terminals.
(6) Do not connect or disconnect wiring, or perform signal check while the

power supply is turned ON.
(7) For 400V class inverters, make sure to ground the supply neutral to con-

form to CE requirements.
(8) Only basic insulation to meet the requirements of protection class 1 and

overvoltage category II is provided with control circuit terminals.

Additional insulation may be necessary in the end product to conform to

CE requirements.
(9) A closed-loop connector should be used when wiring to the main circuit

terminal.
(10) Voltage drop should be considered when determining wire size.

Voltage drop can be calculated using the following equation:

Select a wire size so that voltage drop will be less than 2% of the normal

rated voltage.

 Wiring the Main Circuit

NOTE

• Main circuit input power supply

Always connect the power supply
input terminals R/L1, S/L2,

R/L1, S/L2

[
Never connect them to terminal
U/T1,V/T2,W/T3, B1, B2, –, +1, or +2.

Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.

•

Make sure to ground the ground terminal
according to the local grounding code.
Never ground the VS mini in common
with welding machines, motors, or other
electrical equipment.

When several VS mini units are used
side by side, ground each unit as shown
in examples. Do not loop the ground
wires.

•

Braking resistor connection (optional)

To connect the braking resistor, cut the
protector on terminals B1 and B2.
To protect the braking resistor from
overheating, install a thermal overload
relay between the braking resistor and
the inverter. This provides a sequence
which shuts off the power supply, by a
thermal relay trip contact.
Use this same procedure when
connecting a braking resistor unit.

• Inverter output

Connect the motor terminals to U/T1,
V/T2, W/T3.

NOTE

Open the front cover and verify that the strip length is 5.5mm. (0.22in.)

 Wiring Inspection

After completing wiring, check the following :

▫ Wiring is proper.

▫ Wire clippings or screws are not left in the unit.

▫ Screws are securely tightened.

▫ Bare wire in the terminal does not contact other terminals.

If the FWD (REV) run command is given during the operation reference
selection (n02=1) from the control circuit terminal, the motor will start
automatically after the main circuit input power supply is turned ON.

 Test Run

The inverter operates by setting the frequency (speed).
There are three types of operation modes for the VS mini :

1 Run command from the digital operator (potentiometer/digital setting).
2 Run command from the control circuit terminal.
3 Run command from communications (MEMOBUS communications)

Prior to shipping, the drive is set up to receive run command and frequency
reference from the operator. Below are instructions for running the VS mini
using the digital operator (with potentiometer). For instructions on
operation, refer to page 35.

Operation reference or frequency reference constants can be selected

Motor torque requirement changes according to load conditions. Full­range automatic torque boost adjusts voltage of V/f pattern according to
the requirement. The VS mini automatically adjusts the voltage during
constant-speed operation as well as during acceleration.
The required torque is calculated by the inverter.
This ensures tripless operation and energy-saving effects.

Operation

Normally, no adjustment is necessary for torque compensation gain (n63
factory setting : 1.0). When the wiring distance between the inverter and the
motor is long, or when the motor generates vibration, change the automatic
torque compensation gain. In these cases, set the V/f pattern (n09 to n15).

• Stall prevention (current limit) level during acceleration (n56)

Sets the stall prevention (current limit) level during acceleration in units of
1% (Inverter rated current = 100%).

Factory setting: 170%

A setting of 200% disables the stall prevention (current limit) during
acceleration. During acceleration, if the output current exceeds the value set
for n56, acceleration stops and frequency is maintained. When the output
current goes down to the value set for n56, acceleration starts.

*Stops the acceleration to prevent the motor from

When electronic thermal overload relay is enabled, an “OL1” error

occurs, shutting OFF the inverter output and preventing excessive
overheating in the motor. When operating with one inverter connected to
one motor, an external thermal relay is not needed. When operating several
motors with one inverter, install a thermal relay on each motor.

 Using MEMOBUS (MODBUS) Communications

Serial communication is available with VS mini using programmable
controller (MEMOCON series) and MEMOBUS. In order to perform serial
communications, RS-485/422 interface card (optional) must be installed.
Refer to MEMOBUS Instruction Manual (Manual No.: TOEZ-C736-70.1)
for details of communications.



MEMOBUS (MODBUS) communications

MEMOBUS system is composed of a single master (PLC) and slaves (1
to 31 VS-mini units).
Communication between master and slave (serial communication) is
controlled according to the master program with the master initiating
communication and the slave responding.
The master sends a signal to one slave at a time. Each slave has a pre­registered address No., and the master specifies the number and conduct
signal communications. The slave receives the communication to carry
out designated functions and reply to the master.

 Using Constant Copy Function

Constant copy function

The digital operator for remote operation (Model JVOP-146, Optional) can
store constants for one inverter. A backup power supply is not necessary
since EEPROM is used.

Note: When using a digital operator for remote operation, use with a remote

interface unit for remote operation (optional) and the cable for remote
operation (optional). Refer to the VS mini J7 catalog (Literature No.
KAE-S606-12) for details.

Constant copy function is possible only for the inverters with same product
series and power supply specifications. However, some constants may not
be copied. It is also impossible to copy constants between VS mini and VS­606V7 inverters.
The prohibition of the reading of constants from the inverter can be set at
n77. The constant data cannot be changed when this constant is set.

If any alarm occurs during constant copy, the PRGM will blink and copying
will continue.

•

Constant copy function selection (n76)

Depending on the setting of n76 for constant copy function selection, the
following functions are available:

(1) Read all the constants from the inverter (READ) and store them in

EEPROM in the digital operator.

(2) Copies the constants stored in the digital operator to the inverter (COPY).

(3) Verify that the constants in the digital operator and the constants in

the inverter are the same (VERIFY).

(4) Displays the maximum applicable motor capacity and the voltage class

 Troubleshooing

Trouble Cause Corrective Actions

The motor does
not operate when
an external
operation signal is
input.

The operation method selection is
wrong.

The run command (n02) is not set to
Control Circuit Terminal.

Set the run command (n02) to
Control Circuit Terminal.

A 3-wire sequence is in effect.

The multi-function input method
(n37) is set to 3-wire sequence, and
the S2 control terminal is not
closed.

To use a 3-wire sequence, make
the wiring so that the S2 control
terminal is closed. To use a
2-wire sequence, set the multi­function input (n37) to a value
other than 3-wire sequence.

The motor stops.
The torque is not
output.

The stall prevention level during
acceleration is too low.

Because the stall prevention level
during acceleration (n56) is set too
low, the output current reaches the
set level, the output frequency is
stopped, and the acceleration time
is lengthened.

Check if the stall prevention level
during acceleration (n56) is set to
an appropriate value.

Local mode is in effect. Set the LO/RE selection of the

digital operator to RE.

The SW setting for the reference
selection is wrong.

Example: The reference 4-20mA is
input, but the SW is set to "V".

For analog input, make sure that
the frequency reference (n03)
and SW settings are correct.

The stall prevention level during
running is too low.

Because the stall prevention level
during running (n57) is set too low,
the output current reaches the set
level, and the speed drops.

Check if the stall prevention level
during running (n57) is set to an
appropriate value.

The load is too heavy.

If the load is too heavy, stall
prevention is activated, the output
frequency is stopped, and the
acceleration time is lengthened.

Lengthen the set acceleration
time (n16). Reduce the load.

The frequency reference is too
low.

The input frequency reference is
lower than the setting for the
min.output frequency (n14).

Input a frequency reference
greater than the min. output
frequency (n14).

95

Trouble Cause Corrective Actions

The motor speed
is unstable.
The motor speed
fluctuates when
operating with a
light load.

The carrier frequency is too high.

If operating the motor with a light
load, a high carrier frequency may
cause the motor speed to fluctuate.

Decrease the carrier frequency
(n46).

The V/f set value is too high for a
low speed operation.

Because the set value for the V/f is
too high, over-excitation occurs at
low speeds.

Set the V/f (n09 to n15)
according to the load
characteristics.

The maximum frequency and
base frequency were incorrectly
adjusted.

Example: To operate a 60 Hz motor
at 40 Hz or less, the maximum
frequency and base frequency are
set to 40 Hz.

Set the maximum frequency and
the base frequency according to
the motor specifications.

The inverter is used for an
operation at 1.5 Hz or less.

Do not use the V7 inverter for an
operation that runs at 1.5 Hz or
less. For an operation at 1.5 Hz
or less, use a different inverter
model.

The analog reference input is
unstable and has noise
interference.

Increase the set value for the
filter time constant.

The load is too heavy.

If the load is too heavy, stall
prevention is activated, the output
frequency is stopped, and the
acceleration time is lengthened.

Reduce the load.

When the maximum frequency
was changed, the maximum
voltage frequency was also
changed.

To increase the speed of a
general-purpose motor, only
change the maximum frequency.

The V/f set value is too low. Set the V/f (n09 to n15)

according to the load
characteristics.

The stall prevention level during
running is too low.

Because the stall prevention level
during running (n57) is too low, the
output current reaches the set level
and the speed drops.

Check if the stall prevention level
during running (n57) is set to an
appropriate value.
