0. GENERAL
This manual describes the applications in package ASFIG100V105.vcn. The package includes the
following applications:

- Basic, see page 11

- MultiMaster PFC (MMPFC), typically used in booster stations, see page 18
- Advanced Level Control (ALC), typically used for level control in storage tanks, see page 37
- MultiFollower PFC (MFPFC), typically used in booster stations, see page 56.

You can get your Vacon drive with ASFIG100V105.vcn preloaded from factory or you can download it
to your Vacon drive afterwards.
Once you have the application package loaded into your drive select the application of your choice
with parameter S6.2 in system menu M6.

0.1 Commissioning notes

Always read chapter Commissioning in the product's User’s Manual before you begin.

Set motor parameters according to the rating plate of the motor, and the parameters for the
pump/fan/compressor.

0.1.1 Using MultiMaster PFC or Advanced Level Control applications

It is important that the Own ID (ID1500) is set, and that all drives in the same chain have a unique
number. Also the parameter Number of Drives (ID1502) has to be correct (MMPFC only)
In order to ensure the proper functioning of the communication, the diode and the other connections
(See Figure 9) have to be made correctly. The CMA and CMB have to be isolated from ground.
This is done by setting the jumpers of block X3 on the OPT-A1 board as shown in Figure 10.

If you want to test the Autochange function, set the Interval Time (ID1501) to 0. Autochange will then
occur after 5 min running. Remember to set a correct value after testing.

0.2 Drive status indication

On monitoring page V1.23 you can find the Drive Status. This value gives you information about the
current status of the drive.

0 = OFF

The automatics are not enabled via DIN1.

1 = Communication line error

The communication between the drives has been down for more than 10 seconds. Check
connections, diodes (also polarity), check that the CMA and CMB are open (See Figure 10 below).
This error cannot be reset through the Reset command. To reset, turn DIN1 OFF and back ON in one
or several drives.
This error may also appear if the grounding between the drives is insufficient. During tests of the
system without complete cabling, connect the GND's (pin 13) of the drives with a wire.

2 = Stand-by
The drive is activated but waiting for permission to start (not used as leading drive) either via a start
command from the other drives (MMPFC) or depending of the actual value (ALC).

General vacon • 5

3 = Regulating
The drive is working as the leading drive in the system.

4 = Nominal production
The drive has locked itself to nominal production frequency, (ID102 or ID1513). The regulation is
handled by another drive.

NOTE: In the MultiFollower PFC application this status has a different meaning:
4 = Following
The regulation is handled by another drive and this drive is following the frequency reference of the
leading drive.

5 = Sleeping
The drive is the leading drive, but the actual value (pressure) is so high so the drive has gone into
sleep status.

On monitoring page V1.24 you can also find a value called Status Word. In case of application
malfunctioning, this value will be needed by Vacon service personnel.

0.4 Function / terminal programming methods

There are two methods for programming the input and output signals for the NX drives.
The first method is called the FTT or Function To Terminal, the other method is called TTF or
Terminal To Function.

In FTT, the terminal appears as a parameter

and the user defines which function he wants P2.2.2 DIN3 function:
to be activated with the specific terminal. This 0= Not Used
is the traditional way of I/O programming. See 1= Ext.Fault (cc)
Figure 2. 2= Ext.Fault (oc)
3= Run Enable
In the figure, the function Run Enable is 4= Acc/Dec….
activated via DIN3.
Figure 2. FTT programming method

In TTF, the different functions appear as parameters and the user defines to which terminal he
wants to connect the function.
This method allows a flexible use of additional I/O boards. See Figure 3.

P2.3.29.1 Ready = A.1

P2.3.29.2 Run = 0.2
P2.3.29.3 Fault = B.1
P2.3.29.4 Fault, inv. = 0.1

Figure 3. TTF programming method

The examples in Figure 3 presuppose the connection of option boards OPT-A1 and OPT-A2:

'Ready' function is connected to slot A, 1st digital or relay output (DO1),

'Run' function is connected to a virtual board with value TRUE, i.e. active
'Fault' function is connected to slot B, 1st digital or relay output (RO1)
'Fault inverted' function is connected to a virtual board with value FALSE, i.e. NOT active

The first letter represents the slot (0 = virtual slot) and the number is the index number of the
terminal.
Depending on the option board, there can be several (or no) inputs and/or outputs available.
If there are both inputs and outputs on the same board the first input is named A.1. Note that the
first output is also named A.1.

NOTE!
With this method, is it possible to have several signals connected to one hardware input, but only
one signal can control one hardware output.

Figure 4. Capacity of an interface board

Each option board can have up to 10 inputs and/or outputs of each type, but all 10 are not
necessarily used on every board (the amount of terminals causes limitations).

Figure 4 describes the standard option board.

Available inputs and outputs on Vacon basic option boards

OPT-A1 in slot A:
• two analogue inputs available, named A.1 and A.2 when programming
• six digital inputs, named A.1 to A.6 when programming
• one analogue output, named A.1 when programming
• one digital output, named A.1 when programming

OPT-A2 in slot B:
• two digital outputs available, named B.1 and B.2 when programming

Note: In spite of the terminal type (input/output, digital/analogue), the naming principle is the same
for all terminals on the same board. Therefore, the first analogue input on board OPT-A1 is named
A.1, but the first digital output on board OPT-A1 is also named A.1.

Functions that are not used are programmed to the virtual board in slot 0. Depending of the needed
value or level the number is set to 1, 2 or 3.

0.5 Defining an input for a certain function on keypad

Connecting a certain function (input/output) to a certain input/output is done by giving the parameter
an appropriate value. The value is formed of the Board slot on the Vacon NX control board (see the
product's User's Manual) and the respective signal number, see below.

1. BASIC APPLICATION
1.1 Introduction

The Basic Application is easy and flexible to use due to its versatile fieldbus features. It is the default
setting on delivery from the factory. Otherwise select the Basic Application in menu M6 on page
S6.2. See the product's User's Manual.

Digital input DIN3 is programmable.

The parameters of the Basic Application are explained in Chapter 5 of this manual. The explanations
are arranged according to the individual ID number of the parameter.

1.2 Motor protection functions in the Basic Application

The Basic Application provides almost all the same protection functions as the other applications:

• External fault protection

• Input phase supervision
• Undervoltage protection
• Output phase supervision
• Earth fault protection
• Motor thermal protection
• Thermistor fault protection
• Fieldbus fault protection
• Slot fault protection

Unlike the other applications, the Basic Application does not provide any parameters for choosing
the response function or limit values for the faults. The motor thermal protection is explained in
more detail on page 105.

2. MULTIMASTER PFC APPLICATION

2.1 Brief description of MultiMaster PFC application
With the MultiMaster PFC application, you can build a system where up to 3 drives handle the
regulation. The internal PID controller regulates the drives. The drives are operating in a chained
control where one of them is always the leading drive. This way they can together control a system
with several devices in parallel.

When you have the application package loaded in your Vacon drive you can select the MultiMaster
PFC application in system menu, M6 with parameter S6.2.

2.2 Functionality
The application is designed to achieve an even wear of the pumps connected to the motors/ drives by
regularly changing the regulating order of the drives. The application supports the maximum of 3
pumps, fans or compressors to work in parallel.
One drive is leading and regulating (PID) while the others are either stand-by or running at the
speed that produces the nominal flow in the system.

Connections to/ from and between the drives are easily made. The drive is connected directly to its
own motor/ pump. There is neither need for additional contactors nor any soft starting devices. An
ordinary pair cable is used for the communications between drives.

2.3 Chained control and autochange

When the leading drive notices a demand for more capacity, but cannot produce this by itself, it will
send a request for NEXT START on the communication line. It will lock itself at nominal producing
speed and the next drive will start controlling.
When the leading drive notices that there is too much capacity (running at min. producing frequency)
AND there are units running at nominal producing speed, then it will put itself to Stand-by mode and
the drive running at nominal producing speed will start controlling. If there are several drives
running at nominal producing speed, the one with highest priority will start to regulate.
If there are NO drives running at nominal producing speed when the drive notices the overcapacity,
the drive will go into Sleeping mode.

The Vacon drives in the system will automatically alternate operating as the leading drive to
equalize the wear of the devices in the system.
The drive is counting time for the autochange event when is running. The time to run before the
autochange shall occur can be set by the user.
When the drive reaches the set time, it will stop regulating and then slowly ramp down and stop. The
other drives will notice that the drive is stopping for the autochange event and the next drive will
take up the control.

When all drives in the installation have performed their leading role the timers of all drives are
reset. The “reset” command does not necessarily set the counters to zero, but the counter value is
decreased by the autochange value set by the user. (Default value is 48h)

Examples:
Autochange time: 48h
Running hours: 64h
Running hours after reset: 64-48=16h

The counter value can increase over 48h (autochange value) if this drive has been running while the
others have been in the leading role. This way the running times of the drives are equalized.

The diode is needed to prevent backward supply of 24V from other
drives.

NOTE! All digital inputs are used with negative logic (0V is active).
Jumper X3 has to be connected so that CMA and CMB are isolated
from ground, i.e. OPEN.
See Figure 10 below.

Digital inputs DIN3, DIN4, DIN5 are freely programmable. So is the

digital output DO1 which, together with the digital input DIN6, is
reserved for the communication between drives.

3. ADVANCED LEVEL CONTROL APPLICATION

3.1 Brief description
With the Advanced Level Control application you can build a system where up to 3 drives control the
pumping from a storage tank.
One frequency converter controls the pump that is the leading pump and handles the main
regulation and the other ones are started if the liquid level in the tank is close to reaching the edge
of the tank.
This system guarantees that the flow from the tank remains as steady as possible. In case of
excessive amount of water in the tank for the leading pump to handle and the buffering capacity of
the tank is not enough the auxiliary pumps will start before the tank flows over.

When you have the application package loaded in your Vacon drive you can select the Advanced
Level Control application in system menu, M6 with parameter S6.2.

3.2 Functionality
The application is designed in order to achieve an even wear of the pumps connected to the
motors/drives by regularly changing the leading drive. The application supports the maximum of 3
pumps to work in parallel. When the drive is activated via DIN1 the system decides, on the basis of
the ID numbers of the drives, which drive is the leading drive. The leading one is regulating, either
as PID or linearly between two points, while the auxiliary drives are either stand-by or, in case the
start level is exceeded, started. The start order of the auxiliary drives is also based on the ID
number.

3.3 Level control and autochange

The leading drive runs either as a PID regulator or linearly between the set upper and lower limits.
In case of great amount of incoming water, the leading drive will run at full speed and the tank will
use its buffer capacity. If the level in the tank continues to rise the auxiliary pumps will start when
the set level is reached, (parameter ID1566, Aux1/2 Upper Level).

The auxiliary pumps can either run at nominal production speed between the upper and lower limits
or run linearly between the limits (default). It is also selectable if the auxiliary drives start from the
lower or higher (default) limit when in Linear mode. If the auxiliary drives are running in Nominal
production mode it will always start at a higher level.

The Vacon drives in the system will automatically change the leading drive to equalize the wear of
the devices in the system.
The drive is counting time for the autochange event when it is running. The time to run before the
autochange occurs can be set by the user.
When the drive reaches the set time, it will stop regulating and then slowly ramp down and stop. The
other drives will notice that the drive is stopping for the autochange event and the next drive will
become the leading one.

When all drives in the installation have performed their leading role the timers of all drives are
reset. The “reset” command does not necessarily set the counters to zero, but the counter value is
decreased by the autochange value set by the user. (Default value is 48h)

Examples:
Autochange time: 48h
Running hours: 64h
Running hours after reset: 64-48=16h

The counter value can increase over 48h (autochange value) if this drive has been running while the
others have been in the leading role. This way the running times of the drives are equalized.

4. MULTIFOLLOWER PFC APPLICATION

4.1 Brief description
With the MultiFollower PFC application you can build a system where up to 3 drives handle the
regulation. The internal PID regulator controls the drives that are working in a chained control
where one of them is always the regulating drive. This way they can together control a system with
several devices in parallel.

When you have the application package loaded in your Vacon drive you can select the MultiFollower
PFC application in system menu, M6 with parameter S6.2.

4.2 Functionality
The application is designed to achieve an even wear of the pumps connected to the motors/ drives by
regularly changing the regulating order to of the drives. The application supports the maximum of 3
pumps, fans or compressors to work in parallel.
One drive is leading and regulating (PID) while the others are either stand-by or, if working as
auxiliary drives, following the same speed that the leading one is running at.

Connections to/ from and between the drives are made easily. The drive is connected directly to its
own motor/ pump. There is neither need for additional contactors nor any soft starting devices. An
ordinary shielded twisted pair cable is used for the communications between drives, and for the
shared frequency reference transmission.

4.3 Chained regulation and autochange

When the regulating drive notices a demand for more capacity, but cannot produce this by itself, it
will send a request for NEXT START to the communication line. When the next drive starts to
regulate it will send the frequency reference to the analogue output. The drive(s) that is (are)
working as an auxiliary drive will read this value from its analogue input 1, and it will start to run at
the same speed as the regulating drive. In other words, the auxiliary pump is following the speed
reference of the leading drive /pump.
When the regulating drive notices that there is too much capacity (running at the minimum
producing frequency + 1,5Hz) AND there are auxiliary units connected to the system, it will put itself
to Stand-by mode and the auxiliary drive will become the leading drive and start regulating. If there
are several drives working as auxiliary drives, the one with the highest priority will start to regulate.
If there are NO auxiliary drives available when the drive notices the overcapacity, the drive will go
into Sleeping mode.

The Vacon drives in the system will automatically change the leading drive to equalize the wear of
the devices in the system.
The drive is counting time for the autochange event when it is running. The time to run before the
autochange event shall occur can be set by the user.
When the drive reaches the set time, it will stop regulating and then slowly ramp down and stop. The
other drives will notice that the drive is stopping for the autochange event and the next drive will
take up the control.

When all drives in the installation have performed their leading role the timers of all drives are
reset. The “reset” command does not necessarily set the counters to zero, but the counter value is
decreased by the autochange value set by the user. (Default value is 48h)

Examples:
Autochange time: 48h
Running hours: 64h
Running hours after reset: 64-48=16h

The counter value can increase over 48h (autochange value) if this drive has been running while the
others have been in the leading role. This way the running times of the drives are equalized.

4.4 Sharing of frequency reference

The auxiliary drives will follow the frequency reference that the leading drive is using.
The leading drive sends out the frequency reference to the analogue output. The activated auxiliary
drives will see this on analogue input 1 and follow the leading drive using the same frequency.

5. DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS
On the following pages you will find the parameter descriptions arranged according to the individual
ID number of the parameter. A shaded parameter ID number (e.g. 432 Ready) indicates that the TTF
programming method shall be applied to this parameter.
NOTE! The digital output (A.1) on the basic I/O board OPT-A1 is reserved for communication in the
MultiMaster PFC, Advanced Level Control and MultiFollower PFC applications.
Some parameter names are followed by a number code indicating the "All in One" applications in
which the parameter is included. If no code is shown the parameter is available in all applications.
See below. The parameter numbers under which the parameter appears in different applications
are also given.

1 Basic Application
2 MultiMaster PFC Application
3 Advanced Level Control Application
4 MultiFollower PFC Application

101 Minimum frequency 1 (2.1)

102 Maximum frequency 1 (2.2)
Defines the frequency limits of the frequency converter.
The maximum value for these parameters is 320 Hz.
The software will automatically check the values of parameters ID105, ID106, ID315 and
ID728.

Null /Maximum Producing limit 234 (2.1.1, 2.1.2)

Defines the frequency limits of the frequency converter.
The maximum value for parameters ID101 and ID102 is 320 Hz.
The software will automatically check the values of parameters ID316 and ID728
The parameters also defines:
ID101 Null producing limit / Min output freq. / Lower change freq. / Sleep freq.
ID102 Max producing limit / Max output freq. / Upper change freq.
The frequency converter is stopped automatically if the frequency of the drive falls below
the Sleep frequency defined with this parameter, for a time greater than that determined
by parameter ID1017. During the Stop state, the PID controller switches the frequency
converter to Run state when the signal of the actual value either falls below or exceeds
the Wake-up level, par. ID1018 (depending on the Wake-up action, par. ID1019)

103 Acceleration time 1 (2.3,2.1.3)

104 Deceleration time 1 (2.4, 2.1.4)
These limits correspond to the time required for the output frequency to accelerate from
the zero frequency to the set maximum frequency (par. ID102).

107 Current limit (2.5, 2.1.5)

This parameter determines the maximum motor current from the frequency converter.
The parameter value range differs from size to size.

108 U/f ration selection 234 (2.6.3)

Linear: The voltage of the motor changes linearly with the frequency in the constant
0 flux area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where the nominal voltage is
supplied to the motor. Linear U/f ration should be used in constant torque
applications. This default setting should be used if there is no special
need for another setting.
Squared: The voltage of the motor changes followiing a squared curve form with the
1 frequency in the area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where the nomi-
nal voltage is also supplied to the motor. The motor runs undermagnetised
below the field weakening point and produces less torque and electro-
mechanical noise. Squared U/f ratio can be used in applications where torque
demand of the load is proportional to the square of the speed, e.g. in
centrifugal fans and pumps.

Linear with flux optimisation:

3 The frequency converter starts to search for the minimum motor current in
order to save energy, lower the disturbance level and the noise. This function
can be used in applications with constant motor load, such as fans, pumps

109 U/f optimisation (2.13, 2.6.2)

Automatic The voltage to the motor changes automatically which makes the motor
torque boost produce sufficient torque to start and run at low frequencies. The voltage
increase depends on the motor type and power. Automatic torque boost
can be used in applications where starting torque due to starting friction
is high, e.g. in conveyors.

EXAMPLE:

What changes are required to start with load from 0 Hz?

♦ First set the motor nominal values (Parameter group 2.1).

Option 1: Activate the Automatic torque boost.

Option 2: Programmable U/f curve

To get torque you need to set the zero point voltage and midpoint voltage/frequency (in
parameter group 2.6) so that the motor takes enough current at low frequencies.
First set par. ID108 to Programmable U/f curve (value 2). Increase zero point voltage
(ID606) to get enough current at zero speed. Set then the midpoint voltage (ID605) to
1.4142*ID606 and midpoint frequency (ID604) to value ID606/100%*ID111.

NOTE! In high torque – low speed applications – it is likely that the motor will
overheat. If the motor has to run a prolonged time under these
conditions, special attention must be paid to cooling the motor. Use
external cooling for the motor if the temperature tends to rise too high.

110 Nominal voltage of the motor (2.6, 2.1.6)

Find this value Un on the rating plate of the motor. This parameter sets the voltage at the
field weakening point (ID603) to 100% * UnMotor.

111 Nominal frequency of the motor (2.7, 2.1.7)

Find this value fn on the rating plate of the motor. This parameter sets the field
weakening point (ID602) to the same value.

112 Nominal speed of the motor (2.8, 2.1.8)

Find this value nn on the rating plate of the motor.

A frequency that is fed to the motor when DIN2 is activated, or when DIN3, DIN4, DIN5
are activated and value 7 is chosen for parameter ID301 (DIN3 Function), ID1509
(DIN4Function), ID330 (DIN5 Function), or when the START button on the panel is pushed
The parameter value is automatically limited between the minimum and maximum
frequencies (ID's 101 and 102).

132 PID controller D-time 234 (2.1.14)

The parameter ID132 defines the derivation time of the PID controller. If this parameter
is set to 1,00 second a change of 10% in the error value during 1.00 s causes the
controller output to change by 10.00%. If the parameter value is set to 0.00 s the PID
controller will operate as PI controller.
See examples below.

Example 1:
In order to reduce the error value to zero, with the given values, the frequency converter
output behaves as follows:

Given values:
Par. 2.1.12, P = 0%
Par. 2.1.13, I-time = 1.00 s
Par. 2.1.14, D-time = 0.00 s Min freq. = 0 Hz
Error value (setpoint – process value) = 10.00% Max freq. = 50 Hz

In this example, the PID controller operates practically as I-controller only.

According to the given value of parameter 2.1.13 (I-time), the PID output increases by 5
Hz (10% of the difference between the maximum and minimum frequency) every second
until the error value is 0.

Example 2:
Given values:

Par. 2.1.13, I-time = 1.00 s
Par. 2.1.14, D-time = 1.00 s Min freq. = 0 Hz
Error value (setpoint – process value) = ±10% Max freq. = 50 Hz

As the power is switched on, the system detects the difference between the setpoint and
the actual process value and starts to either raise or decrease (in case the error value is
negative) the PID output according to the I-time. Once the difference between the
setpoint and the process value has been reduced to 0 the output is reduced by the
amount corresponding to the value of parameter 2.1.13.
In case the error value is negative, the frequency converter reacts reducing the output
correspondingly. See Figure 25.

Limit setting: –1000.0% (of fmax) < par. ID359 < par. ID360 < 1000.0% (of fmax).
These limits are of importance for example when you define the gain, I-time and D-time
for the PID controller.

366 Easy changeover 234 (2.2.30)

0 Keep reference
1 Copy reference

If Copy reference has been selected it is possible to switch from direct control to PID
control and back without scaling the reference and actual value.
For example: The process is driven with direct frequency reference (Fieldbus or keypad)
to some point and then the control place is switched to one where the PID controller is
selected. The PID control starts to maintain that point. The PID controller error value is
forced to zero when the control place is changed.
It is also possible to change the control source back to direct frequency control. In this
case, the output frequency is copied as the frequency reference. If the destination place
is Keypad the run status (Run/Stop, Direction and Reference) will be copied.
The changeover is smooth when the reference of the destination source comes from the
Keypad or an internal motor potentiometer (par. ID332 [PID Ref.] = 2 and ID122 [Fieldbus
Ref] = 4.

acceleration and deceleration to act
immediately to the changes in the

502 Acceleration time 2 234 (2.4.3)

503 Deceleration time 2 234 (2.4.4)
These values correspond to the time required for the output frequency to accelerate
from the zero frequency to the set maximum frequency (par. ID102). These parameters
give the possibility to set two different acceleration/deceleration time sets for one
application. The active set can be selected with the programmable signal DIN3 (par.
ID301).

504 Brake chopper 234 (2.4.5)

0 = No brake chopper used
1 = Brake chopper in use and tested when running. Can be tested also in READY state
2 = External brake chopper (no testing)
3 = Used and tested in READY state and when running

When the frequency converter is decelerating the motor, the inertia of the motor and the
load are fed into an external brake resistor. This enables the frequency converter to
decelerate the load with a torque equal to that of acceleration (provided that the correct
brake resistor has been selected). See separate Brake resistor installation manual.

505 Start function (2.11, 2.4.6)

Ramp:
0 The frequency converter starts from 0 Hz and accelerates to the set reference
frequency within the set acceleration time. (Load inertia or starting friction
may cause prolonged acceleration times).

Flying start:
1 The frequency converter is able to start into a running motor by applying a
small torque to motor and searching for the frequency corresponding to the
speed the motor is running at. Searching starts from the maximum frequency
towards the actual frequency until the correct value is detected. Thereafter,

the output frequency will be increased/decreased to the set reference value

according to the set acceleration/deceleration parameters.

Use this mode if the motor is coasting when the start command is given. With
the flying start it is possible to ride through short mains voltage interruptions.

506 Stop function (2.12, 2.4.7)

Coasting:
0 The motor coasts to a halt without any control from the frequency converter,
after the Stop command.

Ramp:
1 After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated according to
the set deceleration parameters.
If the regenerated energy is high it may be necessary to use an external
braking resistor for faster deceleration.

Normal stop: Ramp/ Run Enable stop: coasting

2 After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated according to
the set deceleration parameters. However, when Run Enable is selected, the
motor coasts to a halt without any control from the frequency converter.

Normal stop: Coasting/ Run Enable stop: ramping

3 The motor coasts to a halt without any control from the frequency converter.
However, when Run Enable signal is selected, the speed of the motor is
decelerated according to the set deceleration parameters. If the regenerated
energy is high it may be necessary to use an external braking resistor for
faster deceleration.

507 DC-braking current 234 (2.4.8)

Defines the current injected into the motor during DC-braking.

508 DC-braking time at stop 234 (2.4.9)

Determines if braking is ON or OFF and the braking time of the DC-brake when the
motor is stopping. The function of the DC-brake depends on the stop function,
parameter ID506.

0 DC-brake is not used

>0 DC-brake is in use and its function depends on the Stop function,
(param. ID506). The DC-braking time is determined with this parameter.

Par. ID506 = 0; Stop function = Coasting:

After the stop command, the motor coasts to a stop without control of the frequency
converter.

With DC-injection, the motor can be electrically stopped in the shortest possible time,
without using an optional external braking resistor.

The braking time is scaled according to the frequency when the DC-braking starts. If the
frequency is ≥ the nominal frequency of the motor, the set value of parameter ID508

Defines the flux braking current value. This value can be set between 0.0 and IL.

520 Flux brake 234 (2.4.12)

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.

0 = Flux braking OFF

1 = Flux braking ON

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

601 Switching frequency 234 (2.6.9)

Motor noise can be minimised using a high switching frequency. Increasing the
switching frequency reduces the capacity of the frequency converter unit.
The range of this parameter depends on the size of the frequency converter:

602 Field weakening point 234 (2.6.4)

The field weakening point is the output frequency at which the output voltage reaches
the set (ID603) maximum value.

603 Voltage at field weakening point 234 (2.6.5)

Above the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage remains at the set
maximum value. Below the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage
depends on the setting of the U/f curve parameters. See parameters ID109, ID108, ID604
and ID605.
When the parameters ID110 and ID111 (nominal voltage and nominal frequency of the
motor) are set, the parameters ID602 and ID603 are automatically given the corres-
ponding values. If you need different values for the field weakening point and the maxi-
mum output voltage, change these parameters after setting the parameters ID110 and

707 Motor thermal protection: Time constant 234 (2.7.11)

This time can be set between 1 and 200 minutes.

This is the thermal time constant of the motor. The bigger the motor, the bigger the time
constant. The time constant is the time within which the calculated thermal stage has
reached 63% of its final value.

The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between different
motor manufacturers.

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 2xt6. If the drive is in stop stage the time constant is internally
increased to three times the set parameter value. The cooling in the stop stage is based
on convection and the time constant is increased. See also Figure 43.

728 4mA reference fault: preset frequency reference 234 (2.7.2)

If the value of parameter ID700 is set to 3 and the 4mA fault occurs then the frequency
reference to the motor is the value of this parameter.

730 Input phase supervision 234 (2.7.4)

0 = No response
1 = Warning
2 = Fault, stop mode after fault according to ID506
3 = Fault, stop mode after fault always by coasting

The input phase supervision ensures that the input phases of the frequency converter
have an approximately equal current.

731 Automatic restart 1 (2.20)

The Automatic restart is taken into use with this parameter.

0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled

The function resets the following faults (max. three times) (see the product's User’s
Manual):

• Overcurrent (F1)
• Overvoltage (F2)
• Undervoltage (F9)
• Frequency converter overtemperature (F14)
• Motor overtemperature (F16)
• Reference fault (F50)

732 Response to thermistor fault 234 (2.7.21)

0 = No response
1 = Warning
2 = Fault, stop mode after fault according to ID506
3 = Fault, stop mode after fault always by coasting

Setting the parameter to 0 will deactivate the protection.

1500 Own ID number 234 (2.1.21, 2.1.19)

Each drive in the installation must be given a unique number.
The communication between the drives will not work properly if the number is “0” or if
two drives have the same ID number.

1501 Interval time 234 (2.1.23, 2.1.20, 2.1.22)

Time (hours) after which the automatic change will occur. Maximum time is 169h.

Special values:
0 = 5 minutes
170 = Autochange is deactivated

1502 Number of drives 2 (2.1.22)

The total amount of drives in the installation which are connected to the communication
line. The maximum amount of drives in an installation is 3.
This parameter is set by the installation. If you take one drive out (for pump service), this
parameter does not have to be changed.

1503 Running hours of the period 234 (V1.21)

1504 Running minutes of the period 234 (V1.22)
The time that the drive has been running since the last autochange.

1505 Next start delay 24 (2.1.15)

This parameter is used to create hysteresis on starting the next drive.

1506 Reference step 234 (2.1.24, 2.1.30, 2.1.23)

The reference value is increased by this value when the drive is working as an auxiliary
drive.

1508 DIN2 start function 234 (2.2.1)

Defines how the start command from DIN2 is activated:

0 DIN2 alone will start the motor at nominal speed

1 DIN1 to be selected before DIN2 starts the motor to run at nominal speed

1509 DIN4 function 234 (2.2.3)

The digital input DIN4 has 12 possible functions. If it need not be used, set the value of
the parameter to 0.
The selections are the same as for ID301.

1510 Impeller cleaning time 3 (2.1.21)

When the drive is regulating, e.g. after an autochange, it will accelerate the motor to
MaxProdLimit (P2.1.2) and keep this speed for the time set with this parameter. After
this time the drive will continue regulating. The idea with this is to clean the impeller of
the pump.
If the parameter is set to 0 this function is by-passed.

1511 Drive status 234 (V1.23)

Gives a message about the status of the drive. See chapter 0.2 for details.

1512 Own stop delay 24 (2.1.16)

This parameter is used to create the hysteresis when the drive stops itself.
The time that the drive waits at Null Producing Limit (ID101) before it stops itself and
sends out a request for the drive running at nominal producing speed to start regulating.

NOTE! If both ID1505 and ID1512 have the value “0”, only one drive is handling all the
pumping capacity. In other words, the auxiliary drives are NOT requested, but the
autochange function works.

1549 Actual value special display unit 234 (2.1.32, 2.1.36, 2.1.28)
The Actual value special display parameters are used to convert and display the actual
value signal in a form more informative to the user.

The Actual value special display parameters are available in all other applications of the
Water Solutions applications package but the Basic Application:

Example: The actual value signal sent from a sensor (in mA) tells you the amount of
waste water pumped from a tank per second. The signal range is 0(4)…20mA. Instead of
receiving the level of the actual value signal (in mA) on the display, you wish to receive
the amount of water pumped in m3/s. You then set a value for par. ID1033 to correspond
to the minimum signal level (0/4 mA) and another value for par. ID1034 to correspond to
the maximum signal level (20 mA). The number of decimals needed can be set with par.
ID1035 and the unit (m3/s) with par. ID1036. The level of the actual value signal is then
scaled between the set min and max values and displayed in the selected unit.

The following units can be selected (par. ID1549):

If you wish to make the Stop button a "hotspot" which always stops the drive regardless
of the selected control place, give this parameter the value 1.

See also parameter ID125.

125 Control Place (3.1)

The active control place can be changed with this parameter. For more information, see
the product's User's Manual.

Pushing the Start button for 3 seconds selects the control keypad as the active control
place and copies the Run status information (Run/Stop, direction and reference).

6. APPENDICES
In this chapter you will find additional information on special parameter groups. Such groups are:

Parameters of Motor thermal protection (Chapter 6.1)

Parameters of Stall protection (Chapter 6.2)
Parameters of Underload protection (Chapter 6.3)
Fieldbus control parameters (Chapter 6.4)

6.1 Parameters of motor thermal protection (ID’s 704 to 708):

General

The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The Vacon 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 IT 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 the product's
User's Manual.

!
CAUTION! The calculated model does not protect the motor if the airflow to the
motor is reduced by blocked air intake grill.

6.2 Parameters of Stall protection (ID’s 709 to 712):

General

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, ID710 (Stall current) and ID712
(Stall frequency limit). If the current is higher than the set limit and 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.

 124 • vacon Appendices

6.3 Parameters of Underload protection (ID’s 713 to 716):

General

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 ID714
(Field weakening area load) and ID715 (Zero frequency load), see below. The underload curve is a
squared curve set between the zero frequency and the field weakening point. The protection is not
active below 5Hz (the underload time counter is stopped).

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 IH are used to find the scaling ratio for the internal torque value. If other than
nominal motor is used with the drive, the accuracy of the torque calculation decreases.

6.4 Fieldbus control parameters (ID’s 850 to 859)

The Fieldbus control parameters are used when the frequency or the speed reference comes from
the fieldbus (Modbus, Profibus, DeviceNet etc.). With the Fieldbus Data Out Selection 1…8 you can
monitor values from the fieldbus.
