5. WIRING
•Wiring Instructions
(1) Always connect the power supply via a molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) to the
power input terminals R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 (R/L1, S/L2 for single-phase). Never
connect the power supply to U/T1, V/T2, W/T3,-,+1 or +2.
The single-phase (200V class) inverter can be connected to a 200V 3-phase input.
However, when a single-phase supply is used, never use the terminal T/L3 for other
purposes.

(2) Connect the motor wiring to terminals U, V, and W 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 79.
(4) Control wiring must be less than 164ft(50m) 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 checks while the power
supply is turned ON.

Adjusting torque according to application
Adjust motor torque by using “V/f pattern” and “full-range automatic torque boost”.
•V/f pattern setting
Set V/f pattern by parameters n09 to n15 as described below. Set each pattern when
using a special motor (high-speed motor, etc.) or when requiring special torque
adjustment of machine.
Be sure to satisfy the following conditions for
the setting of n09 to n15.

•Typical setting of V/f pattern
Set the V/f pattern according to the application as described below. For 400V class,
the voltage values (n10, n13, and n15) should be doubled. When running at a
frequency exceeding 50Hz/60Hz, change the maximum output frequency (n09).
Note:Be sure to set the maximum output frequency according to the motor
characteristics.
Increasing voltage of V/f pattern increases motor torque, but excessive increase may
cause motor over excitation, motor overheat, or vibration.
59
Page 60
When operating with frequency larger than 60Hz/50Hz, change only maximum output
frequency (n09).
•Full-range automatic torque boost
Motor torque requirement changes according to load conditions. Full range
automatic torque boost adjusts voltage of V/f pattern according to the requirement.
The VS mini J7 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.
Output voltageTorque compensation gain (n63)Required torque
∝
×
Operation
Normally, no adjustment is necessary for torque compensation gain (n63 factory
setting: 1.0). When wiring distance between the inverter and motor is long or when
motor generates vibration, change the automatic torque compensation gain. In these
cases, it may also be beneficial to adjust the V/f pattern (n09 to n15).

Adjusting frequency upper and lower limits
Frequency reference upper (n30) and lower
(n31) limits determines the range over which the
inverter will operate.
•Frequency reference upper limit (n30)
Sets the upper limit of the frequency
reference in units of 1%.
(n09: Maximum output frequency = 100%)
Factory setting: 100%
•Frequency reference lower limit (n31)
Sets the lower limit of the frequency
reference in units of 1%.
(n09: Maximum output frequency = 100%)
When operating at frequency reference 0,
operation is continued at the frequency
reference lower limit.
However, when frequency reference lower
limit is set to less than the minimum output
frequency (n14), operation is not performed.
Factory setting: 0%
Using two accel/decel times
* When “deceleration to a stop” is selected (n04 = 0)
Two acceleration times and two deceleration times can be selected via a multi-function
input. Programming any of terminals S2 through S5 (parameter n36 to n39) to “11”
“Accel/Decel time select”, provides the ability to switch between the 2 acceleration
times (n16 and n18) and deceleration (n17 and n19) through a contact closure applied
to the appropriate terminal (See timing diagram above).

Jump frequencies (n49 to n51)
This function allows the prohibit or “jumping” of critical frequencies so that the motor
can operate without resonance caused by machine characteristics. This function is also
used for dead band control. Setting the value to 0.00Hz disables this function.
Set prohibited frequency 1, 2 or as follows:
n49 > n50
If this condition is not satisfied the
inverter displays for one second
and restores the data to original
settings.
Continuous operation is prohibited within the jump frequency range.
However, during accel/decel the output frequency ramps through the jump frequency
range (without jumping).
Continuing operation by automatic
fault reset (n48)
Sets the inverter to restart and reset fault detection after a fault occurs.
The number of self-diagnosis and retry attempts can be set with n48 (0 thru 10 restarts).
The inverter will automatically restart after the following faults occur:
•OC (overcurrent)
•GF (ground fault)
•OV (over voltage)
The number of retry attempts are cleared to 0 during the following cases:
(1) If no other fault occurs within 10 minutes after retry
(2) When the fault reset signal is ON after the fault is detected
(3) Input power is turned OFF

Starting into a rotating motor - Tripless Operation
To start into a coasting motor without trip, use the speed search command or DC
injection braking at start.
•Speed search command
Speed matches into a coasting motor upon starting without stopping the motor.
This function enables smooth switching between motor commercial power supply
operation and inverter operation.
Set input terminal function selection (n36 to n39) to “14” (search command from
maximum output frequency) or “15” (search command from set frequency).
Build a sequence so that FWD (REV) run command is input at the same time as the
search command or after the search command. If the run command is input before
the search command, the search command becomes disabled.
•Time chart at search command input
•DC injection braking at start (n52, n54)
When starting into a coasting motor, use DC injection to gradually brake the motor
before beginning the acceleration ramp. Set the DC injection braking time at start
in n54 in units of 0.1 second. Set DC injection braking current in n52 in units of 1%
(inverter rated current = 100%). When the setting of n54 is “0”, DC injection
braking is not performed and acceleration starts from the minimum output
frequency.
When n52 is set to 0, acceleration starts from the minimum output frequency after
base blocking for n54 setting time.
76
Page 77
Accel/Decel Hold
To hold acceleration or deceleration, use a multi-function input that is set to a value of
“16: Accel/Decel Hold. The output frequency is kept constant when the accel/decel
hold command is input during acceleration or deceleration.
When the run command is removed during an accel/decel hold condition, accel/decel
hold is internally released and operation ramps to stop.
Set multi-function input terminal selection (n36 to n39) to 16 (accel/decel hold
command).
Note:When the FWD (REV) run command is input along with the accel/decel hold com-
mand, the motor does not operate. However, when frequency reference lower limit
(n31) is set greater than or equal to minimum output frequency (n14), the motor
operates at frequency reference lower limit (n31).

Upon removal of the FWD (REV) run command, the motor decelerates at the decel rate
determined by the time set to decel time 1 (n17) and DC injection braking is applied
immediately before stop. DC injection braking is also applied when the motor
decelerates by setting the frequency reference lower than minimum output frequency
while the(n14) with FWD (REV) run command remains ON.
If the decel time is short or the load inertia is large, an over voltage (OV) fault may
occur during deceleration. In this case, increase the decel time.

(1) When UP/DOWN command is selected, the upper limit speed is set regardless of frequency
reference.
Upper limit speed = Maximum output frequency (n09)
x Frequency reference upper limit (n030)/100
(2) Lower limit value is either minimum output frequency (n14) or Maximum output frequency
(n09) x frequency reference lower limit (n31)/100% (whichever is greater).
(3) When the FWD (REV) run command is input, operation starts at the lower limit speed without an
UP/DOWN command.
(4) If the jog command is input while running by the UP/DOWN command, the jog command has
priority.
(5) Multi-step speed reference 1 to 3 is not effective when UP/DOWN command is selected. Multi-
step speed reference is effective during running in hold status.
(6) When “1” is set for HOLD output frequency memory selection (n62), output frequency can be
recorded during HOLD.
SettingDescription
0Output frequency is not recorded during HOLD.
When HOLD status is continued for 5 seconds or longer, the output frequency
1
during HOLD is recorded and the inverter restarts at the recorded frequency.
(This function is effective when option card is installed)
Operation can be changed from communication command, or from multi-function
input terminal or digital operator command.
Run command and frequency reference from communication options are effective
when multi-function input terminal for this setting is “closed.”
Run command and frequency reference in LOCAL/REMOTE mode are effective
when “Open.”
Using output signals (n40)
Multi-function output terminal MA and MB functions can be changed when necessary
by setting parameter n40.

•Preventing Motor from Stalling (Current Limit)
This function automatically limits the output current in response to load changes by
adjusting the output frequency to prevent motor stalling.
•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 continues.
* Stops the acceleration to prevent the motor
from stalling.
† Release width (hysteresis) of stall prevention
during accel is approx. 5% of inverter rated
current.
*
In the constant horsepower area [output frequency > max. voltage output frequency
(n11)], following equation automatically decreases the stall prevention (current limit)
level during acceleration.
*
*Note: The lower limit of the stall prevention level is 40% of the level set in n56.

•Stall prevention (current limit) level during running (n57)
Sets the stall prevention (current limit) level during running in units of 1% (Inverter
current = 100%).
Factory setting: 160%
A setting of 200% disables the stall prevention (current limit) during running.
If the output current during speed agree exceeds the value set for n57 for longer than
100msec, deceleration starts.
As long as the output current exceeds the value set for n57 deceleration continues.
When the output current goes below the value set for n57, acceleration begins to the set
frequency.
The accel/decel rates during stall prevention are determined by the accel time (n16 or
n18) and decel time (n17 or n19) that is selected at the time of the stall prevention
condition.
* Decreases frequency to prevent the motor
from stalling.
† At acceleration start, output hysteresis is
approx. 5% of inverter rated current.
•Stall prevention (current limit) function during deceleration (n55)
To prevent overvoltage during deceleration, the inverter automatically lengthen the
deceleration time according to the value of main circuit DC voltage.

•Decreasing Motor Speed Fluctuation
Slip compensation
As the load becomes larger, rotor speed is reduced as motor slip increases. The slip
compensating function regulates the motor shaft speed as the load increases by
increasing the output frequency.
When inverter output current is equal to the motor rated current (n32), the
compensation frequency is added to the output frequency.

The electronic thermal overload function calculates motor temperature, based on
inverter output current and time, to protect the motor from overheating. When the
electronic thermal overload relay is enabled and excessive current is flowing to the
motor, an “” 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 and disable the electronic overload
protection (n33=2).

•General-purpose motor and inverter motor
Induction motors are classified as general-purpose motors (limited speed range) or
inverter motors (wide speed range), based on their cooling capabilities. Therefore,
the motor overload function operates differently between these two motor types.

•Selecting Cooling Fan Operation
In order to increase fan life, the cooling fan can be set to operate when inverter is
running or when power is supplied.
n35 = 0 (factory setting): Operates only when inverter is running.
(Continues operation for 1 minute after
inverter is stopped.)
= 1: Operates while power is ON.
•Using MEMOBUS (MODBUS) Communications
Serial transmission is available with VS mini J7 using programmable controller
(MEMOCON series) and MEMOBUS. In order to perform serial communications, RS485/422 interface card (optional) must be installed.
•MEMOBUS (MODBUS) communications
MEMOBUS system is composed of a single master (PLC) and slaves (1 to 31
VS-mini units).
Transmission 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 pre-registered
address No., and the master specifies the number and conducts signal
communication. The slave receives the transmission to carry out designated
functions and reply to the master.
