Preface
Thank you for purchasing an AF-300 Mini series drive. This product is designed to control a 3-phase induction motor only. Read through this instruction manual and make yourself familiar with proper use of the drive. Improper use could prevent normal operation and result in failure or reduced life of the drive. Deliver this manual to the end user of the product. Keep this manual in a safe place until the drive is no longer in service.

Although the AF-300 Mini is manufactured under strict quality control, be sure to install appropriate safety devices for applications where drive failure could result in serious accident or material loss. An accident could occur.

Installation

WARNING
Install the drive on a nonflammable material base such as metal. Otherwise fire could occur. Do not place flammable matter nearby. Doing so could cause fire.

Safety precautions
Read this manual thoroughly before proceeding with installation, connecting or wiring, operation, or maintenance and inspection. Ensure you have sound knowledge of the device and familiarize yourself with all safety information and precautions before proceeding to operate the drive. Safety precautions are classified into the following two categories in this manual.

CAUTION
Do not support the drive by its cover during transportation. The cover could detach, allowing the drive to drop, with risk of injury. Prevent lint, paper fibers, sawdust, dust, metallic chips, or other foreign materials from getting into the drive, or from accumulating on the heat sink. Doing so could cause fire or an accident. Do not install or operate a drive that is damaged or missing any parts. Doing so could cause fire, accident or injuries. Do not stand or sit on a shipping box. Do not stack shipping boxes higher than indicated by the information printed on those boxes. Doing so could cause injuries.

WARNING
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may lead to dangerous operation, and could result in risk of death or serious bodily injury.

CAUTION
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may lead to dangerous operation, and could result in minor bodily injuries and/or substantial property damage. Failure to heed the information contained under the CAUTION title can also result in serious consequences. These safety precautions are of utmost importance and must be observed at all times.

Wiring

WARNING
The drive should be wired to its power source through a recommended molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) and a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Apply protective devices of the correct current range. Use wiring of the specified size. Otherwise, fire could occur.

Purposes

WARNING
The AF-300 Mini is designed to drive a 3-phase induction motor only. Never use it for 1-phase motors or for any other purpose. Fire or an accident could occur. The AF-300 Mini must not be used for any life-support system or other purpose directly related to human safety.

ii

WARNING
The drive must be securely grounded. Otherwise, electric shock or fire could occur. Wiring must only be performed only by a qualified electrician. Be sure to do all wiring after installing the drive unit. Otherwise, electric shock or injuries could occur. Ground the drive according to the requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations. Otherwise, electric shock could occur. Check that the number of phases and the rated voltage of the product agree with the number of phases and the voltage of the ac power supply. Otherwise fire or an accident could occur. Do not connect the ac power source cables to the drive output terminals U, V, and W. Do not connect a braking resistor to the dc link circuit terminals P (+) and N (-). Doing so could cause fire or an accident. Wire the 3-phase motor to the drives output terminals U, V, and W, aligning phases each other. Otherwise injuries could occur. The drive, motor and wiring generate electric noise. which could interfere with nearby sensors or other devices. To prevent the motor from malfunctioning, take appropriate noise control measures. Otherwise an accident could occur.

If the Stall Prevention function has been selected, the drive may operate with acceleration/deceleration times or frequencies different from those selected. The drive installation must be such that safety is ensured if this occurs. Otherwise an accident could occur.

WARNING
The STOP key is only effective when enabled by the correspnding function setting (function code F02). For safety, a separate emergency stop switch should always be installed. If you disable the STOP key priority function and activate the (FWD) or (REV) commands, it will no longer be possible to stop the motor using the STOP key on the built-in keypad. If an alarm reset happens with the operation signal turned on, a sudden start will occur. Check that the operation signal is turned off in advance. Otherwise an accident could occur. If you enable the Auto Restart function in the restart mode after an instantaneous power failure (function code F14), the drive will automatically restart the motor when power is restored. If you set the function codes wrongly or without completely understanding the instruction manual and the AF-300 Mini Users Manual, the motor may operate at a torque or speed not authorized for the driven load. An accident or injuries could occur. Do not touch the drive terminals while power is applied to the drive, even if the drive stops. Doing so could cause electric shock. Do not turn the main circuit power on or off in order to start or stop the drive. Doing so could result in drive failure. Do not touch the heat sink or braking resistor, both of which can become very hot in operation. Doing so could cause burns. It is possible to set the drive to operate at speeds higher than allowed by the driven load. Check the performance of the motor and connected load before changing the setting. The brake function of the drive does not provide mechanical holding means. Injuries could occur.

Operation

WARNING
Be sure to install the terminal cover before turning the power on. Do not remove the cover while power is applied. Otherwise electric shock could occur. Do not operate switches with wet hands. Doing so could cause electric shock. If the Retry function has been enabled, the drive may automatically restart after tripping. Make sure that any automatic restart can not result in material damage or personal injury.

iii

Maintenance and inspection and parts replacement

WARNING
Turn the power off and wait for at least five minutes before starting inspection. (Also check that the LED monitor is unlit, and verify that the dc voltage across the P (+) and N (-) terminals is lower than 25 Vdc.) Otherwise, electric shock could occur. Maintenance, inspection, and parts replacement should be made only by qualified persons. Remove watches, rings and other metallic objects before starting work. Use insulated tools. Otherwise, electric shock or injuries could occur.

Disposal
Treat the drive as industrial waste for disposal purposes. Otherwise injuries could occur.

Others
Never attempt to modify the drive. Doing so could cause electric shock or injuries.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
For explanatory purposes, drawings in this manual may show the drive without required covers or safety shields. Be sure to replace such covers and shields and follow all safety instructions in the manual before operation.

iv

Conformity to the Low Voltage Directive in the EU If installed according to the guidelines given below, drives marked with CE or TUV are considered as compliant with the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.

CAUTION
1. The ground terminal G should always be connected to the ground. Do not use only a residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)* as the sole method of electric shock protection. Be sure to use ground wires whose size is greater than power supply lines. *With the exception of those exclusively designed for protection from ground faults. 2. When you use a residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) for protection from electric shock in direct or indirect contact power lines or nodes, be sure to use type B of RCD/ELCB at the power supply side of the electric equipment for three-phase 230/460 V power supplies. For single-phase 230 V power supplies, use type A. When you use no RCD/ELCB, take any other protective measure that isolates the electric equipment from other equipment on the same power supply line using double-layered or reinforced insulation or that isolates the power supply lines connected to the electric equipment using an isolated transformer. 3. The drive should be used in an environment that does not exceed pollution degree 2 requirements. If the environment conforms to pollution degree 3 or 4, install the drive in a enclosure of IP54 or higher. 4. Install the drive, ac or dc reactor, input or output filter in an enclosure with minimum degree of protection of IP2X (Top panel of enclosure shall be minimum IP4X when it can be easily accessed), to prevent anyone from touching live parts of this equipment. 5. To make a drive with no integrated EMC filter conform to the EMC directive, it is necessary to connect an external EMC filter to the drive and install them properly so that the entire equipment including the drive conforms to the EMC directive. 6. Do not connect any copper wire directly to grounding terminals. Use clamp terminals with tin or equivalent plating to connect it. 7. When you use a drive at an altitude of more than 2000 m, you should apply basic insulation for the control circuits of the drive. The drive cannot be used at altitudes of more than 3000 m. 8. When used in the drive, a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) or magnetic contactor (MC) should conform to the EN or IEC standards. 9. Supplemantary insulation is required for the control interface when the drive is installed in Overvoltage Category III in 230V class models and Overvoltage Category II or III in 460V class models. 10. The supply mains neutral has to be grounded for 3-phase 460V class drives.

Precautions for Use

Driving a 460V standard motor Torque characteristics and temperature rise Application with standard motors Vibration When operating a 460 V standard motor on a drive with extremely long cables, damage to the insulation of the motor may occur. Use an output circuit filter (OFL) if necessary after checking with the motor manufacturer. GE motors do not require the use of output circuit filters because of their superior insulation. A standard motor will run hotter when operated with a drive than if connected to standard ac power. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the motors cooling fan is reduced in the low-speed range, which in turn reduces the allowable output torque. (If constant torque is required in the low-speed range, either use a GE drive motor or a motor equipped with a separate cooling fan.) Use of a drive does not increase vibration of a standard motor, but when the motor is mounted to a driven load mechanical resonances may be caused by the combined natural frequencies of the total machine system. * The use of a rubber coupling or vibration dampening rubber is recommended. * It is also recommended to use the drive Jump Frequency control function to avoid operating at resonance points. Note that operation of a 2-pole motor at 60 Hz or above may cause abnormal vibration. When a drive is used with a standard motor, the motor noise level will be higher than that with a commercial power supply. To reduce noise, raise carrier frequency of the drive. High-speed operation at 60 Hz or higher frequencies can also result in increased noise. When using an explosion-proof motor with a drive, use a only an approved drive/motor combination. This type of motor has a higher current rating than standard motors. Select a drive capacity that will ensure that these motors run within the rated current capacity of the drive. These motors also differ from standard motors in their thermal characteristics. Set a low value in the thermal time constant of the motor when setting the electronic thermal protection. Do not use motors with parallel-connected brakes that obtain their braking power from the primary circuit (commercial power supply). If the brake power is connected to the drive power output circuit by mistake, problems may occur. Do not use drives on motors equipped with series-connected brakes. When the power transmission mechanism uses an oil-lubricated gearbox or speed changer/ reducer, continuous motor operation at low speed may cause poor lubrication. Special software suitable for this motor type must be used. Contact GE Fuji for details. 1-phase motors are not suitable for drive-driven variable speed operation. Use 3-phase motors. * Even if a 1-phase power supply is available, use a 3-phase motor as the drive only provides 3-phase output. Use the drive in a location with an ambient temperature range of -10 to 50C. The drive and braking resistor surfaces become hot under certain operating conditions. Install the drive on a nonflammable surface such as metal. Ensure that the installation location meets the environmental conditions specified in Chapter 2, Section 2.1 Operating Environment. Install a recommended molded-case circuit breaker or a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in the primary circuit of the drive to protect the wiring. Ensure that the circuit breaker rating is equivalent to or lower than the recommended rating. If a magnetic contactor is mounted in the drives secondary circuit for switching the motor to commercial power, or for any other purpose, ensure that both the drive and the motor are fully stopped before operating this contactor. Do not switch on/off the magnetic contactor in the primary circuit more than once an hour as a drive fault may result. If frequent starts or stops are required during motor operation, use FWD/REV signals or the RUN/STOP key.

Protecting the motor

When using a motor with a drive, the motor can be protected using the electronic thermal control ability of the drive. In addition to the operation level, set the motor type (standard motor or drive motor). For high-speed motors or water-cooled motors, set a small value for the thermal time constant and protect the motor in combination with the cooling system OFF signal. When driving several motors with a drive, connect a thermal relay to each motor and turn on the drives electronic thermal relay function. If you connect the motor thermal relay to the motor through a long cable, a high-frequency current may flow in the wiring due to its increased capacitance. This could cause the relay to trip at a current lower than the set value for the thermal relay. In this case, lower the carrier frequency or use an output circuit filter (OFL). Do not install power factor correcting capacitors in the drive primary circuit. (Use a dc reactor to improve the drive power factor.) Do not use power factor correcting capacitors in the drive output circuit. An over-current trip will occur, disabling motor operation. Use of a filter and shielded wires are typical measures against noise to ensure that electromagnetic interference standards are met. If an overvoltage trip occurs while the drive is stopped or operated under a light load, it is assumed that the surge current is generated by the open/close action of the phase-advancing capacitor in the power system. * Connect a dc reactor to the drive. When checking the insulation resistance of the drive, use a 500V megger and follow the instructions contained in Chapter 7, Section 7.4 Insulation Test. When using remote control, limit the wiring length between the drive and operator box to 20 m/65 ft or less, and use twisted or shielded cable. If extended length wiring is used between the drive and the motor, the drive will overheat or trip as a result of over-current (high-frequency current flowing due to cable capacitance) in the wires connected to the phases. Ensure that the wiring is shorter than 50 m/162 ft. If this distance must be exceeded, lower the carrier frequency or include an output circuit filter (OFL). Select cables with an adequate capacity by referring to the current value or recommended wire size. Securely ground the drive using the grounding terminal.

Selecting drive capacity

Select a drive with a capacity range corresponding to the applicable motor rating as shown in Driving standard the standard specifications table for the drive. motor When high starting torque is required, or quick acceleration or deceleration needed, select a drive with a capacity one size greater than the standard. Driving special motors Select a drive that that has a rated current exceeding that of the motor

1.4 Storage Environment

1.4.1 Temporary storage Store the drive in an environment that satisfies the requirements listed in Table 1.1.
Table 1.1 Environmental Requirements for Storage and Transportation Item Storage temperature (*1) Relative humidity Atmosphere Requirements -25 to +65C (-4 to +149F) 5 to 95% Places not subjected to abrupt temperature changes or condensation or freezing

The drive must not be exposed to dust, direct sunlight, corrosive or flammable gases, oil mist, vapor, water drops or vibration. The atmosphere must contain only a low level of salt. (Less than 0.01 mg/cm2 per year) 86 to 106 kPa / 12.5 to 15.4 psi (in storage) 70 to 106 kPa / 10.2 to 15.4 psi (during transportation)

Atmospheric pressure

*1: The storage temperature applies only to short periods of time, such as during transportation.

Precautions for temporary storage (1) Do not place the drive directly on the floor. (2) If the storage environment does not meet the specified requirements, wrap the drive in an airtight vinyl sheet or similar for storage. (3) If there is a possibility that the drive will be exposed to high humidity, add a drying agent (such as silica gel) in the airtight package described in item (2). 1.4.2 Long-term storage The long-term storage method for the drive varies according to the environment of the storage site. General storage methods are described below. (1) The storage site must satisfy the requirements specified for temporary storage. However, for storage exceeding three months, the ambient temperature should be within the range of -10 to 30C (14 to 86F). This is to prevent electrolytic capacitors in the drive from deterioration. (2) The package must be airtight to protect the drive from moisture. Add a drying agent inside the package to maintain the relative humidity inside the package at less than 70%. (3) If the drive has been installed to the equipment or control board at construction sites where it may be subjected to humidity, dust or dirt, then remove the drive and store it in a suitable environment. Precautions for storage over 1 year If the drive has not been powered on for a long time its electrolytic capacitors may deteriorate. Power the drives on once a year and keep the drives powered on for 30 to 60 minutes. Do not connect the drives to motors or run the motor.

Note 1: Do not install the drive in an environment where it may be exposed to cotton waste or moist dust or dirt which may clog the heat sink in the drive. If the drive is to be used in such an environment, install it in the control board of your system or in another dust-proof enclosure. Note 2: If the drive is to be used at an altitude of more than 3,300 ft (1,000 m), derate the output current by the factor listed in Table 2.2 above.

2.2 Installing the drive

(1) Mounting base The temperature of the heat sink may rise up to about 90C during operation of the drive, so it should be mounted on a base made of material that can withstand temperatures at this level.
Top 4 in.

WARNING
Install the drive on a base constructed from metal or other non-flammable material. A fire may result with other material. (2) Clearances Ensure that the minimum clearances indicated in Figure 2.1 are maintained at all times. When installing the drive in a power control board, take extra care with ventilation inside the control board, as the temperature around the drive will tend to increase.

Figure 2.1 Mounting Direction and Required Clearances

2-1

When mounting two or more drives Horizontal layout is recommended when two or more drives are to be installed in the same enclosure or power control board. As long as the ambient temperature is 40C (104F) or lower, drives may be mounted side-by-side without any clearance between them. If it is necessary to mount the drives vertically, install a partition plate or similar divider between the drives so that any heat radiating from one drive will not affect the those above. (3) Mounting direction Secure the drive to the mounting base with four screws or bolts (M4) so that the AF-300 Mini logo faces outwards. Tighten those screws or bolts perpendicular to the mounting base. Do not mount the drive upside down or horizontally.

CAUTION
Prevent lint, paper fibers, sawdust, dust, metallic chips, or other foreign materials from getting into the drive or from accumulating on the heatsink. This may result in a fire or accident.

2.3 Wiring
Follow the procedure below. (In the following description, the drive has already been installed.) 2.3.1 Removing the Terminal Block (TB) Covers (1) Removing the control circuit terminal block (TB) cover Insert your finger in the cutout (near PULL) in the bottom of the control circuit TB cover, then pull the cover towards you. (2) Removing the main circuit terminal block (TB) cover Hold both sides of the main circuit TB cover between thumb and forefinger and slide it towards you.

2.3.3 Wiring Precautions Follow the rules below when wiring the drive. (1) Make sure that the supply voltage is within the range specified on the nameplate. (2) Be sure to connect the power wires to the main circuit power input terminals L1/R, L2/S and L3/T (for 3-phase voltage input) or L1/L and L2/N (for 1-phase voltage input) of the drive. If the power wires are connected to other terminals, the drive will be damaged when the power is turned on. (3) Always connect the ground terminal to prevent electric shock, fire or other disasters and to reduce electric noise. (4) Use solderless terminals for the main circuit terminal wiring to ensure a reliable connection. (5) Keep the power supply wiring (primary circuit) and motor wiring (secondary circuit) of the main circuit, and control circuit wiring as far away from each other as possible.

WARNING
Always connect ground wires. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or fire. Qualified electricians should always perform the wiring. Check that the power is turned off before proceeding with any wiring Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

CAUTION
Check that the number of phases and the rated voltage of the drive match those of the ac power. Failure to do so may result in a fire. Do not connect the ac power line to the drive output terminals U, V, and W. Doing so may result in injury. Do not connect a braking resistor to the dc link circuit terminals P(+) and N(-). Doing so may result in a fire.

2.3.4 Wiring for Main Circuit Terminals and Ground Terminals Follow the procedure below. Figure 2.3 illustrates the wiring for peripheral equipment. Wiring Procedure (1) Ground terminals G (2) Drive output terminals (U, V, and W) (3) DC reactor connection terminals (P1 and P(+))* (4) Braking resistor connection terminals (P(+) and DB)* (5) DC link circuit terminals (P(+) and N(-))* (6) Main circuit power input terminals (L1/R, L2/S and L3/T) or (L1/L and L2/N) *Wire these as necessary.

Figure 2.3 Wiring Procedure for Peripheral Equipment

2-5

The wiring procedure for the 6KXC_________ is shown below as an example. For other drive types, perform wiring in accordance with their individual terminal arrangement. (Refer to page 2-3.) (1) Ground terminals ( G) For safety and noise reduction, be sure to connect either of the two ground terminals. Electric Codes specify that all metal frames of electrical equipment must be grounded to avoid electric shock, fire and other disasters. Ground terminals should be wired as follows: 1) Connect the ground terminal of the drives to a ground in compliance with your applicable local Electric Codes. 2) Connect a thick ground wire with a large surface area and keep the wiring length as short as possible.

(2) Drive output terminals, U, V, and W 1) Connect the three wires of the 3-phase motor to terminals U, V, and W, aligning phases each other. 2) The wiring length between the drive and motor should not exceed 50 m (165 ft). If the wiring length exceeds that length, it is recommended that an output circuit filter (option) be inserted.

NOTE: Do not connect a power factor improvement capacitors or surge absorber to the drive output terminals.
Figure 2.4 Ground Terminal Wiring

If the wiring length is excessive, stray capacitance between the wires will increase, resulting in high leakage current. This may activate the overcurrent protection, increase leakage current, or degrade the accuracy of the current display. If more than one motor is to be connected to a single drive, the allowable wiring length is the combined length of all the wires to the motors. NOTE: Driving a 460V motor If a thermal relay is installed in the path between the drive and the motor, the thermal relay may malfunction even with a wiring length shorter than 165 ft (50 m). In this situation, add an output circuit filter (option) or lower the carrier frequency (Function Code F26: Motor sound (sound tune)). If the motor is driven by a PWM-type drive, surge voltage that is generated by switching the drive component may be superimposed on the output voltage and thus applied to the motor terminals. Particularly if the wiring length is long, this surge voltage may deteriorate the insulation resistance of the motor.

2-6

Consider any of the following measures: 1) Use a motor with 1300V insulation. 2) Connect an output circuit filter (option) to the output terminals of the drive. 3) Take steps to minimize the wiring length between the drive and motor . (3) DC reactor terminals, P1 and P (+) 1) Remove the jumper bar from terminals P1 and P(+). 2) Connect a dc reactor (option) to terminals P1 and P(+). NOTE: If a dc reactor is to be connected to a braking resistor, attach both wires of the dc reactor and braking resistor together to terminal P(+). (See next page) Do not remove the jumper bar if a dc reactor is not used.

When a dc reactor is not to be connected together with the braking resistor 1) Remove the screws from terminals P1 and P(+), together with the jumper bar. 2) First connect the wire from terminal P of the braking resistor to terminal P(+), then the jumper bar, and secure them with the screw removed in 1) above. 3) Tighten the screw on terminal P1. 4) Connect the wire from terminal DB of the braking resistor to the DB of the drive.

Figure 2.7 Braking Resistor Connection without DC Resistor

When connecting a dc reactor together with the braking resistor

Figure 2.6 DC Reactor Connection

1) Remove the screw from terminal P(+). 2) Overlap the dc reactor wire and braking resistor wire (P) as shown at left and then secure them to terminal P(+) of the drive with the screw. 3) Connect the wire from terminal DB of the braking resistor to terminal DB of the drive. 4) Do not use the jumper bar.

(4) Braking resistor terminals, P(+) and DB NOTE: Do not connect a braking resistor to any drive with a rated capacity of 1/8 or 1/4 hp. (If connected, the braking resistor will not work.) 1) Connect terminals P and DB of the built-in braking resistor (available to order) or external braking resistor (option) to terminals P(+) and DB on the main circuit terminal block. 2) When using an external braking resistor, arrange the drive and braking resistor to keep the wiring length to 5 m or less, and twist the two wires or route them together in parallel.

Figure 2.8 Braking Resistor Connection with DC Resistor

2-7

When using an optional internal braking resistor An optional internal braking resistor should be connected to terminals P(+) and DB. Connect the wires from the braking resistor, following the procedure described in When a dc reactor is not to be connected together with the braking resistor or When using a dc reactor together on the previous page, as applicable.

TIP: It is recommended that a manual on/off magnetic contactor be connected. This is to enable you to disconnect the drive from the power supply in an emergency (e.g. when the protective function is activated) so as to prevent accidents or damage.

Figure 2.10 Main Circuit Power Input Terminal Connection

Figure 2.9 Braking Resistor Connection

2.3.5 Replacing the Main Circuit Terminal Block (TB) Cover 1) As shown in Figure 2.11, pull out the wires from the main circuit terminals in parallel. 2) Hold both sides of the main circuit TB cover between thumb and forefinger and slide it back into place. Pull the wires out through the grooves of the main circuit TB cover. NOTE: When replacin the main circuit TB cover, take care not to apply any stress to the wires. Stress on the wires imposes a mechanical force on the main circuit terminal screws, loosening them.

TIP: The option internal braking resistor type is available only in 3-phase 230V and 460V models of 2 hp and above. (5) DC link circuit terminals, P (+) and N (-) These are provided for the dc bus link circuit system. Connect these terminals with terminals P(+) and N (-) of other drives. NOTE: Consult GE Fuji if these terminals are to be used. (6) Main circuit power input terminals, L1/R, L2/S, and L3/T (for 3-phase voltage input) or L1/L and L2/N (for 1-phase voltage input) 1) For safety, make sure that the Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) or Magnetic Contactor (MC) is disconnected before wiring the main circuit power input terminals. 2) Connect the ground wire of the main circuit power input terminals (L1/R, L2/S and L3/T or L1/L and L2/N) to the ground terminal (G). 3) Connect the main circuit power supply wires (L1/R, L2/S and L3/T or L1/L and L2/N) to the input terminals of the drive via an MCCB or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), and MC if necessary. It is not necessary to align phases of the power supply wires and the input terminals of the drive with each other.

2.3.6 Wiring for Control Circuit Terminals

Warning
The outer jacket of control circuit cable is generally not insulated for high voltage levels. Therefore if the control circuit cabling comes into direct contact with the live main circuit terminal, the insulation may be insufficient. Accordingly, there is a possibility that DANGEROUSLY high voltage from the main power circuit could be applied to the control circuit wires. Be sure to keep the control wires away from the live main circuit terminals. An accident or electric shock could occur.

Caution
Noise may be emitted from the drive, motor and wires. Implement appropriate measures to prevent malfunctioning due to noise. An accident could occur. Table 2.4 lists the symbols, names and functions of the control circuit terminals. The wiring to the control circuit terminals may differ depending upon drive set-up using function codes.

Figure 2.12 Example of Control Circuit Wiring

Replace the main circuit TB cover and then connect wires to the control circuit terminals. As shown in Figure 2.12, pull the wires out through the guides on the main circuit TB cover. Route these wires correctly to reduce the influence of noise, referring to the notes on the following pages.

NOTE: The control signal lines handle weak analog signals that are susceptible to external noise and interference, so use shielded wires and keep them as short as possible (less than 66 ft / 20 m). It is recommended that the shielding conductor of those wires be grounded. If grounding causes control signals to be affected by external induction noise, connect the shield to terminal [11], which may be effective for noise reduction. As shown in Figure 2.13, ground the single end of the shield to enhance the shielding effect. Use a twin contact relay for weak signals if a relay is used in the circuit. Do not connect the relays contact to terminal [11]. When the drive is connected to an external device putting out an analog signal, malfunctions may be caused by electric noise generated by the drive. If this happens, depending on the circumstances, connect a ferrite core (a ring core or its equivalent) to the device outputting the analog signal and/or connect a capacitor with good cut-off characteristics for high frequency between the control signal cables, as shown in Figure 2.14.

2.3.7 Switching of SINK/SOURCE (Jumper Bar)

Warning
Before changing the jumper bar, wait for at least five minutes after the power has been turned off, then check with a multimeter that the dc voltage between main circuit terminals P (+) and N (-) does not exceed a safe voltage (25 V). An electric shock may result if this warning is not heeded as there can be residual electric charge in the intermediate dc circuit capacitor even after the power has been turned off. To switch the sink/source of the input signal, change the positioning of the jumper bar using a pair of long-nose pliers, as shown in Figure 2.16. At the factory setting, the jumper bar is positioned at SINK.

NOTE: Take care not to pinch the signal lines between the TB cover and drive body.

(*When connecting the RS485 communications cable, remove the control circuit TB cover and snip off the barrier of the RS485 communications cable port using nippers.) Figure 2.18 Replacing the Control Circuit Terminal Block (TB) Cover

2.3.10 Cautions Relating to Harmonic Component, Noise, and Leakage Current (1) Harmonic component Input current to a drive includes a harmonic component, which may affect other loads and power factor improvement capacitors that are connected to the same power supply. If the harmonic component causes any problems, connect a dc reactor (option) to the drive. It may also be necessary to connect an ac reactor to the power factor improvement capacitors. (2) Noise If noise generated from the drive affects other devices, or that generated from peripheral equipment causes the drive to malfunction, follow the basic measures outlined below. 1) If noise generated from the drive affects the other devices through power wires or grounding wires: Isolate the grounded metal frame of the drive from other devices. Connect a noise filter to the drive power wires. Isolate the power system of the other devices from that of the drive with an isolating transformer.

Figure 2.16 Switching of SINK/SOURCE (Jumper Bar)

2.3.8 Installing an RS485 Communications Card (Option) When an optional RS485 communications card is to be used, install it before replacing the main circuit TB cover. Align the card with the latch on the drive and attach the card to the connector that is located above terminals [30A], [30B] and [30C].

Figure 2.17 Installing an RS485 Communications Card (Option)

2) If induction or radio noise generated from the drive affects other devices through power wires or grounding wires: Isolate the main circuit wires from the control circuit wires and other device wires. Put the main circuit wires through a metal conduit and connect the pipe to the ground near the drive.

2.3.9 Replacing the Control Circuit Terminal Block (TB) Cover Upon completion of the wiring of the control circuits, fit the latches provided on the upper end of the control circuit TB cover into the openings in the front face of the drive, and then close the TB cover.

2-13

Mount the drive onto the metal board and connect the whole board to ground. Connect a noise filter to the drive power wires.

Connect a surge absorber in parallel with the coil or solenoid of the magnetic contactor.

(3) Leakage current Harmonic component current generated by transistors (IGBT) in the drive switching ON/OFF becomes leakage current through stray capacitance of the drive input and output wires or the motor. If any of the problems listed below occur, take appropriate measures against them.

3) When implementing measures against noise generated from peripheral equipment: For the control circuit wires, use twisted or shielded-twisted wires. If using shielded-twisted wires, connect the shield of the shielded wires to the common terminals of the control circuit.

Table 2.5 Leakage Current Countermeasures Problem A ground fault circuit interrupter* (GFCI) that is connected to the power supply has isolated the drive from the power supply. Measures Decrease the carrier frequency. 2) Make the wires between the drive and motor shorter. 3) Use a less sensitive ground fault circuit interrupter. 4) Use a ground fault circuit interrupter that includes protection against harmonic component. 1) 2) 3) Decrease the carrier frequency. Increase thermal time constant. Use the thermal relay built in the drive.

3.2.2 Program Mode Program mode provides various functions, such as setting and checking function code data, monitoring maintenance information and checking input/output (I/O) signal status. These functions can be easily selected with the menu-driven system. Table 3.2 lists menus available in Program mode. The leftmost digit (numeral) of each letter string indicates the corresponding menu number and the remaining three digits indicate the menu contents. When the drive re-enters Program mode, the menu that was selected last in Program mode will be displayed. Restricting menus to be displayed In order to simplify operation, the menu-driven system has a special function (specified by function code E52) that restricts the menus to be displayed. The factory default is to display Menu #1 Data setting only, allowing no switching to any other menu. Function Code E52 Keypad (Mode Selection)

3.2.3 Alarm Mode When the protection facility is activated to trigger an alarm, the drive automatically enters Alarm mode and the corresponding alarm code will appear in the LED display. Figure 3.2 shows the status transition of Alarm mode. Releasing the Alarm and Transferring the Drive to Run Mode Remove the cause of the alarm and press the key to release the alarm and return to running status. The alarm can only be released using the key once the alarm code is displayed. Displaying the Alarm History It is possible to display the most recent 3 alarm codes in addition to the one currently displayed. Previous alarm codes can be displayed by pressing the key or the key while the current alarm code is displayed. Displaying the Running Information when an Alarm Occurs If an alarm occurs, you may check various running status parameters (output frequency and output current, etc.) by pressing the key when the alarm code is displayed. The item number and data for each running information is displayed alternately. In addition, you can switch between the various running parameters using the key or key. Detailed running information is the same as for Menu #6 Alarm information in Program mode. Refer to Table 3.13 in Section 3.9 Reading Alarm Information. Pressing the key while the running information is displayed returns the display to the alarm codes. NOTE: When the running information is displayed after removal of the alarm cause, pressing the key a number of times in succession will cause the drive to shift the alarm code display and then release the alarm status. Be careful with a run command. If a run command has been entered at this stage, the motor will start running. Switching to Program Mode It is also possible to switch the drive to Program mode by pressing the key + alarm is displayed and then to check and adjust the function code data. key simultaneously while the

3.3 Operation in Run Mode

If the drive is turned on, it automatically enters Run mode in which you may operate the following: (1) Run/Stop the Motor By factory default, pressing the key starts running the motor in the forward direction and pressing the decelerates the motor to stop. The key is enabled only in Run mode. key

Changing function code F02 data makes it possible to run the motor in the reverse direction by pressing the key, determine the motor rotation direction by entering input signals to the terminals, and control the motor by pressing the / keys. (2) Set up the Set Frequency and Others By using the potentiometer and / keys on the keypad, you may set up the desired set frequency and PID process commands. It is also possible to set up the set frequency as frequency, load shaft speed, line speed, and constant feeding rate time by setting function code E48. Setting up the set frequency with the potentiometer on the keypad (factory default) If you set function code F01 data to 4: Potentiometer on the keypad (factory default) and select frequency command-1 with function codes E01 through E03 (Hz2/Hz1 = OFF), the potentiometer is then enabled to choose the set frequency. Setting function code C30 to 4: Potentiometer on the keypad and selecting frequency command-2 (Hz2/Hz1 = ON) also produce the same effect. Setting up the set frequency with the and keys If you set function code F01 data to 0: Keypad operation and select frequency command-1, then the / keys are enabled to set up the set frequency in Run mode. In any other operation modes, those keys remain disabled. Pressing the / key calls up the set frequency with the lowest digit flashing. Pressing the / key again makes it possible to change the set frequency. The new setting will be saved internally. Even if the drive is switched to some other frequency entry and then returned to the keypad entry, the setting will be retained. Even turning off the drive will automatically save the setting into the non-volatile memory. The next time the drive is turned on, the setting will become the default frequency. If you set function code F01 data to 0: Keypad operation but do not select frequency command-1, then the / keys cannot be used for setting up the set frequency. Pressing those keys will just display the currently selected set frequency. Setting up the frequency from any other displayed item depends on function code E48 data (= 4, 5, or 6) LED monitor details (Select speed monitor) as listed in the following table.

Make setting under PID control To enable PID control, you need to set function control code J01 data to 1 or 2. Under the PID control, the items that can be set or checked with the / keys are different from those under regular frequency control, depending upon the current LED monitor setting. If the LED monitor is set to the speed monitor (E43 = 0), you may access manual feed commands (Set frequency) with the / keys; if it is set to any other, you may access PID process commands with those keys. REFERENCE: Refer to Users Manual, Chapter 4, Section 4.8 PID Frequency Command Generator for details on the PID control. Setting the PID process command with the built-in potentiometer Set function code E60 data to 3: PID process command and J02 to 1: PID process command. After that, selecting PID control remote process command enables you to set the PID process command using the built-in potentiometer. Setting the PID process command with the and keys

Set function code J02 data to 0: Keypad operation and set the LED monitor to the setting other than the speed monitor (E43 = 0) in Run mode. This makes it possible to set the PID process command using the and keys. This setting is possible only in Run mode. Pressing the or key displays the PID process command with the lowest digit flashing on the LED monitor. Pressing the or key again makes it possible to change the PID process command. Once the PID process command is modified, it will be saved internally. Even if the drive is switched to another PID process command entry and then returned to the keypad entry, the setting will be retained. Turning off the drive will automatically save the setting into the non-volatile memory. The next time the drive is turned on, the setting will become the default PID process command. Even if the PID process command is selected ((SS4) = ON) in the multistep frequency, it is still possible to set the process command using the keypad. When function code J02 data has been set to any value except 0, pressing the command currently selected (setting is not possible). or key displays the PID process

When the PID process command is displayed, the decimal point next to the lowest digit on the LED display flashes to discriminate it from the regular frequency command.

Displaying I/O signal status in hexadecimal format Each I/O terminal is assigned to bit 15 through bit 0 as listed in Table 3.11. An unassigned bit is interpreted as 0. Allocated bit data is displayed on the LED monitor in 4-digit hexadecimals (0 to F each). In the AF-300 Mini, digital input terminals [FWD] and [REV] are assigned to bit 0 and bit 1, respectively. Terminals [X1] through [X3] are assigned to bits 2 through 4. The value 1 is set for each bit when the assigned input terminal is short-circuited with terminal [CM] (ON). The value 0 when it opens (OFF). For example, when [FWD] and [X1] are ON and all others are OFF, the display on LED4 to LED1 would be 0005. The value 1 is set when bit 0 is assigned to digital output terminal [Y1] and the terminal is short-circuited with [Y1E], and the value 0 is set when it opens. The status of the mechanical relay contact output terminal [30A], [30B]

5. Function Codes
5.1 Function Code Tables
Function codes enable the AF-300 Mini series of drives to be set up to match your system requirements. Each function code consists of a 3-character string. The first is a letter identifying the group and the following two are numerals that defining each individual code in the group. Function codes are classified into seven groups: Fundamental Functions (F codes), Extension Terminal Functions (E codes), Control Functions of Frequency (C codes), Motor Parameters (P codes), High Performance Functions (H codes), Application Functions (J codes), and Link Function (y codes). To determine the property of each function code, set data to the function code. Changing, reflecting, and saving function code data when the motor is running Function codes are indicated by the following, based on whether they can be changed or not while the motor is running: Function codes marked with N (in the Change when running column of the function code tables given below): The data of these codes cannot be changed when the motor is running. Function codes marked with Y: The data for these codes can be changed with the and keys regardless of whether the motor is running or not. Pressing the key will make the change effective and save it into the drives memory. Function codes marked with Y*: The difference from function codes marked with Y and others is that if the data for these codes is changed, the effect is immediate. However the change is not saved into the drives memory. To save the change, press the key. If you press the key to exit the current state without pressing the key, then the changed data will be discarded and the previous data will be restored for the current drive operation. Using negative logic for programmable I/O terminals The negative logic signaling system can be used for the digital input and output terminals by setting the function codes that specify properties for those terminals. Negative logic refers to inverted ON/OFF (logical value 1 (true)/0 (false)) state of input or output signal. An ON-active signal (the function takes effect for the ON signal.) in the normal logic system is functionally equivalent to OFF-active signal (the function takes effect for the OFF signal.) in the negative logic system. To set the negative logic system for an I/O signal terminal, display data as 1000s (by adding 1000 to the data for the normal logic) in the corresponding function code and then press the key. For example, if a coast-to-stop command (BX: data = 7) is assigned to any one of digital input terminals [X1] to [X3] by setting any of function codes E01 through E03, then turning (BX) ON will make the motor coast to a stop. Similarly, if the coast-to-stop command (BX: data = 1007) is assigned, turning (BX) OFF will make the motor coast to a stop. Restriction of data displayed on the LED monitor Only four digits can be displayed on the 4-digit LED monitor. If you enter more than 4 digits of data valid for a function code, any digits after the 4th digit of the set data will not be displayed, however they will be processed correctly.

5.2 Overview of Function Codes

This section provides an overview of the function codes frequently used for the AF-300 Mini series of drives. Refer to the AF-300 Mini Users Manual, Chapter 9 FUNCTION CODES for details. F00 Data Protection Specifies whether function code data is to be protected from being accidentally changed by keypad operation. If data protection is enabled (F00 = 1), the or key operation to change data is disabled. In this case no function code data, except F00 data, can be changed from the keypad. F02 Running/Stopping and Rotational Direction Selects the source issuing a run command: keypad or external control signal input. If F02 = 0, 2, or 3, the drive can run the motor using the and keys on the built-in keypad. The motor rotational direction can be specified in two ways, either by control signal input (F02 = 0) or by use of prefixed forward or reverse rotation (F02 = 2 or 3).

When F02 = 0, to specify the motor rotational direction by control signal input, assign the commands (FWD) and (REV) to terminals [FWD] and [REV], respectively. Turn on the (FWD) or (REV) for the forward or reverse direction, respectively, then press the key to run the motor. If F02 = 1, the drive can run the motor by control signal inputs. To specify the motor rotational direction, assign the commands (FWD) and (REV) to terminals [FWD] and [REV], respectively. Turn on (FWD) or (REV) for the forward or reverse direction, respectively. If both of (FWD) and (REV) are turned on simultaneously, the drive immediately decelerates to stop the motor.

The table below lists the operational relationship between function code F02 (Running/Stopping and Rotational Direction), control signal inputs to terminals [FWD] and [REV], and the key operation, which determines the rotational direction.

Maximum Frequency

Manual torque boost This feature manually adjusts the starting output voltage by setting F09 to an optimal torque boost rate to match the motor and its load. Select a V/f pattern from two types of loads with F37. Setting an excessive torque boost rate may result in over-excitation and overheating of the motor during no-load operation. Manual torque boost keeps the output voltage constant even if the load varies, assuring stable motor operation. Automatic torque boost This feature automatically optimizes the output voltage to match the motor and its load. Under a light load, it decreases the output voltage to prevent the motor from over-excitation; under heavy load, it raises the output voltage to increase torque. Since this feature is related to the motor characteristics, it is necessary to set the rated voltage at base frequency (F05) and motor parameters (P codes) properly. Auto energy saving This feature controls the terminal voltage of the motor automatically to minimize motor power loss. (Note that this feature may not be effective depending on the properties of the motor. Check the properties before using this feature.) The drive enables this feature only for constant speed operation. During acceleration and deceleration, the drive will run with manual or automatic torque boost, depending on the data setting of function code F37. If auto energy saving operation is enabled, switching the motor from constant speed will become less responsive. Do not use this feature for a system that requires quick acceleration and deceleration. Given below are proper setting examples with the combination of F09 and F37. If auto energy saving operation is not selected:
Load type Variable torque Constant torque To select manual torque boost, set: F37 = 0 F09 = 0.0 to 20.0 (%) F37 = 1 F09 = 0.0 to 20.0 (%) To select automatic torque boost, set:

Sets the maximum frequency to drive the motor. Setting the frequency out of the rated range for the equipment driven by the drive may damage the system or cause it to malfunction. Set a maximum frequency appropriate for the equipment.

CAUTION
As the drive can easily set high-speed operation, carefully verify the allowable specifications of the motor and its load before changing speed settings. Otherwise injuries could occur. F04 Base Frequency Set the rated frequency printed on the nameplate labeled on the motor. F05 Rated Voltage (at Base Frequency) Set 0 or the rated voltage printed on the nameplate labeled on the motor. If 0 is set, the drive outputs the same voltage and frequency of the the source power. In this case, the output voltage will vary in line with any variance in input voltage. If the data is set to anything other than 0, the drive automatically keeps the output voltage constant in line with the setting. When any of the automatic torque boost, automatic energy saving or slip compensation are active, the voltage settings should be equal to the rated voltage of the motor. NOTE: If the rated voltage of the motor is set to F05, the motor efficiency will be increased more than when 0 is set. Therefore, when brakes are applied to the motor, energy loss decreases and the motor regenerates higher braking energy than it would otherwise. Note that the allowable power consumption capacity of the drive for braking energy is limited by the specifications, so it may be necessary to increase deceleration time or to use an external braking resistor.

general purpose motors and other induction motors is set to 5 minutes by factory default. Data entry range: 0.5 to 75.0 (minutes, in 0.1-minute increments). REFERENCE: Refer to the AF-300 Mini Users Manual, Chapter 9 FUNCTION CODES for details of the built-in cooling fan and properties of electronic thermal detection. F14 Restart after Instantaneous Power Failure

F37 = 5

Electronic Thermal Overload F10 to (Property Selection, Overload Detection F12 Level, and Thermal Time Constant) Function codes F10 through F12 set the thermal properties of the motor, including the thermal time constant. This imputes motor overload using the embedded electronic thermal detection of the drive, which calculates motor temperature indirectly based on the drives internally measured output current. F11 is used to determine the overload detection level. NOTE: Thermal properties of the motor specified by these function codes are also used for the overload early warning. Therefore, even if you need only the overload early warning, set these property data to function codes F10 and F12. F10 selects the motors cooling method: built-in cooling fan or external forced-ventilation.
Set F10 to: 1 If the cooling property of the motor is: Built-in cooling fan of general-purpose motor (self-cooled) (The cooling performance will decrease in low frequency operation.) Drive-driven or high-speed motor (force-ventilated) (Cooling performance remains constant with speed.)

Selects the action of the drive to be followed when an instantaneous power failure occurs. If the drive detects that the voltage of the intermediate dc circuit drops to below the specified undervoltage limit, it interprets the state as a momentary power failure. However, if the drive runs with a light load and the period of the power failure is short, then it does not detect the power failure and continues to run. Trip immediately (F14 = 0) If an instantaneous power failure occurs when the drive is in Run mode such that the drive detects undervoltage of the intermediate dc circuit, then the drive immediately shuts down its outputs and displays the undervoltage alarm LU on the LED monitor. The motor will coast to a stop. The drive will not restart automatically. Trip after recovery of power (F14 = 1) If an instantaneous power failure occurs when the drive is in Run mode so that the drive detects undervoltage of the intermediate dc circuit, then the drive immediately shuts down its outputs without transferring to Alarm mode or displaying the undervoltage alarm LU . The motor will coast to a stop. When the power is recovered, the drive will enter Alarm mode for undervoltage. Restart at the frequency at which the power failure occurred (F14 = 4) If an instantaneous power failure occurs when the drive is in Run mode so that the drive detects undervoltage of the intermediate dc circuit, then the drive saves the current output frequency. When the power is recovered with any run command being ON, the drive will restart at the saved frequency. During the instantaneous power failure, if the motor speed drops, the current limiter facility of the drive will be activated and automatically lower the output frequency. On synchronization of the output frequency and motor speed, the drive accelerates up to the previous output frequency. Refer to the figure (F14 = 4) on the following page for details.

F11 sets the operation level of the electronic thermal detection to the current value. Set approximately 1.0 to 1.1 multiples of the allowable continuous current (rated current of the motor) at the rated drive frequency of the motor under normal running conditions. To disable the electronic thermal detection, set F11 to 0.00. F12 sets the thermal time constant of the motor. The drive interprets the time constant as an operation period of the electronic thermal detection. During the specified operation period, the drive will activate electronic thermal deection if 150% of the operating current specified by F11 flows continuously. The time constant of GE

However to synchronize output frequency and motor speed, the momentary overcurrent limiter (H12 = 1) should be enabled. This setting is optimal for cases in which due to the heavy moment of inertia of its load the motor would take a long time to coast to a stop because of power failure.

F15, Frequency Limiter (Peak and Minimum) F16 Frequency limiter F15 limits the peak or maximum output frequency. Frequency limiter F16 maintains the output frequency at a minimum level even if the set frequency is lower than that. Refer to the figure below.

NOTE: Set the peak and minimum frequencies correctly; otherwise, the drive may not operate. Maintain the following relationship between the limiters: Restart at the starting frequency (F14 = 5) If an instantaneous power failure occurs when the drive is in Run mode so that the drive detects undervoltage of the intermediate dc circuit, then the drive immediately shuts down its outputs. After power is recovered, entry of any run command will restart the drive at the frequency specified by function code F23. Refer to the figure (F14 = 5) on the following page for details. This setting is optimal for cases where due to a high load with a very low moment of inertia the motor quickly comes to a stop when de-energized (Peak frequency) > (Minimum frequency), (Starting frequency), (Stop frequency) (Minimum frequency) < (Maximum frequency)

WARNING
If you select the auto restart function active in the restart mode after instantaneous power failure (function code F14), the drive automatically restarts running the motor when the power is recovered. Design the machine so that human safety is ensured after restarting. Otherwise an accident could occur.

If you select any analog input for frequency command 1, it is possible to define the relationship between the analog input and the set frequency arbitrarily by combining the settings for bias (F18), bias reference point (C50), gains (C32 and C37), and gain reference points (C34 and C39). As illustrated in the graph on the next page, the relationship between the set frequency and analog input for frequency command 1 is shown by a straight line passing through points A and B. A is determined by the bias (F18) and its reference point (C50). B is determined by the gain (C32 or C37) and its reference point (C34 or C39). The combination of C32 and C34 will apply for terminal [12] and that of C37 and C39 for terminal [C1]. The bias (F18) and gain (C32 or C37) should be set, supposing the maximum frequency as 100%. The bias reference point (C50) and gain frequency point (C34 or C39) should be set, supposing the full scale (10 Vdc or 20 mAdc) as 100%.

5-12

NOTE: Analog input under the bias reference point is limited by the bias data. The relations stated above are indicated in the following expressions. (1) If analog input bias reference point: Frequency Setting 1(%) = Bias (F18) (2) If analog input > bias reference point:

F43, F44

Current Limiter (Operation condition and Limiting level)

F43 enables or disables the current limiter. If it is enabled, the drive controls the output frequency while keeping the current set to the value in F44 in order to prevent the motor from stalling. With F43, you may select whether the current limiter works during constant speed operation only (F43 = 1) or during both acceleration and constant speed operation (F43 = 2). Set F43 to 1, for example, to drive the motor at maximum performance in the acceleration zone and to limit the drive current in the constant speed zone.

In the above expressions, it is assumed that each function code expresses its data. Example: Setting the bias, gain and its reference point when analog input range from 1 to 5 Vdc is selected for the frequency command 1. (Point A) If the analog input is at 1 V, the set frequency is 0 Hz. Therefore, the bias is 0% (F18 = 0). Since 1 V is the bias reference point and it is equal to 10% of 10 V, then the bias reference point should be 10% (C50 = 10). (Point B) If the analog input is at 5 V, the set frequency comes to be the maximum value. Therefore, the gain is 100% (C32 = 100). Since 5 V is the gain reference point and it is equal to 50% of 10 V, then the gain reference point should be 50% (C34 = 50). NOTE: When using the function codes for setting a standalone gain or bias without changing any reference points, the setting procedure for the function codes is the same as that of GE Fujis conventional drive models. F20 to DC Brake (Starting frequency, F22 Braking level, and Braking time) These function codes enable a dc brake to prevent the motor from coasting by its inertia while it is decelerating to a stop. Set function codes F20 for the starting frequency, F21 for the braking level, and F22 for the braking time as follows.

WARNING
If the current limiter function has been selected, the drive may operate with an acceleration/deceleration time or frequency different from those set. Design the machine so that safety is ensured even if this happens. Otherwise an accident could occur. F50, F51 Electronic Thermal (Discharging capability and Allowable loss)

These function codes configure the electronic thermal feature to protect the braking resistor from overheating. For built-in braking resistors, set function codes F50 and F51 to 0 and 0.00, respectively. NOTE: Depending on the energy dissipation margin of the braking resistor, the electronic thermal protection may operate and issue the overheat alarm dbH, even though the actual temperature of the resistor is within limits. Check braking resistor performance again and review the data setting of function codes F50 and F51. E01 to E03, E98, E99

Command Assignment for Terminals [X1] to [X3], [FWD] and [REV]

CAUTION:
The brake function of the drive does not provide mechanical holding means. Otherwise injuries could occur.

E01 to E03, E98 and E99 may assign commands (listed below) to terminals [X1] to [X3], [FWD], and [REV] which are general-purpose programmable input terminals. These function codes may also switch the logic system between normal and negative to define the property of those input terminals so that the drive logic may interpret either the ON or OFF status of each terminal as active. The default setting is normal logic, that is Active ON.
5-13

To assign negative logic input to any input terminal, set the function code to the value of 1000s shown in ( ) in Section 5.1 Function Code Tables. To keep explanations as simple as possible, the examples shown below are all written for the normal logic system. Select multi-step frequency (1 to 7 steps) (SS1), (SS2), and (SS4) (Function code data = 0, 1, and 2)

Coast-to-stop command (BX) (Function code data = 7)

Shorting the circuit between the (BX)-assigned terminal and terminal [CM] will immediately shut down the drive output allowing the motor to coast to a stop without issuing any alarm. Reset alarm (RST) (Function code data = 8)

Switching digital input signals (SS1), (SS2), and (SS4) ON/OFF may switch the current set frequency to that defined by function codes C05 through C11 (multi-step frequencies). With this, the drive may drive the motor at a maximum of 8 different speeds. The table below lists the frequencies that can be obtained by the combination of switching (SS1), (SS2), and (SS4). In the column Selected frequency, Other than multi-step frequency represents the set frequencies defined by frequency command 1 (F01), frequency command 2 (C30), and others.

When the protection facility has been activated (the drive is in Alarm mode), shorting the circuit between the (RST)-assigned terminal and terminal [CM] will reset the alarm output on terminals [Y1] and [30A,B,C]. Opening the circuit will release all the alarm indications to restart operation. Allow 10 ms or more for the short-circuit time. (RST) should be kept OFF for normal drive operation. Alarm from external equipment (THR) (Function code data = 9)

When the motor is running, opening the circuit between the (THR)-assigned terminal and terminal [CH] will immediately shut down the drive output and issue the alarm 0H2. The motor will coast to a stop. Ready for jogging (JOG) (Function code data = 10)

Turning ON the (JOG) command makes the motor ready for jogging. Use this command for fine adjustment of workpiece positioning, for example. When the motor is ready for jogging with (JOG) being ON, pressing the key or turning the (FWD) or (REV) command ON will start the motor to jog. If the stop. key is released, the motor will decelerate to a

Select acceleration/deceleration (2 steps) (RT1) (Function code data = 4)

Digital input signal (RT1) assigned to the specified terminal ON/OFF may switch combinations between acceleration/deceleration time 1 (defined by function codes F07 and F08) and acceleration/deceleration time 2 (defined by E10 and E11). Turning (RT1) ON, for example, enables the drive to drive the motor using acceleration/deceleration time 2. Select 3-wire operation command (HLD) (Function code data = 6)

Jogging operation follows the settings of: Jogging frequency set by function code C20 Acceleration or deceleration time set by function code H54

Simultaneous + keying may also make the motor ready for jogging depending upon whether keypad operation or terminal command operation is selected and whether the (JOG) command is ON or OFF, as listed below. When operated from keypad (F02 = 0, 2, or 3)
If (JOG) is: ON OFF Disabled. Toggles between normal and jogging. + keys The motor becomes ready for: Jogging Normal running Jogging

Digital input signal (HLD) may self-hold the forward (FWD)/reverse (REV) run commands given at the external signal input terminals to enable 3-wire drive operation. Shorting the circuit between the (HLD)-assigned terminal and terminal [CM] will self-hold the (FWD) or (REV) command. Opening the circuit will release the hold.

When terminal command operation is selected (F02 = 1), simultaneous + keying is disabled. Select frequency command 2 or 1 (Hz2/Hz1) (Function code data = 11)

control is normal, turning it ON switches it to inverse, or vice versa.

Turning the digital input signal (Hz2/Hz1) ON/OFF may switch the frequency setting method between frequency command 1 (defined by function code F01) and frequency command 2 (defined by function code C30). Turning the (Hz2/Hz1) command ON allows the frequency command 2 to be selected. Enable editing of function code data from the keypad (WE-KP) (Function code data = 19)

Select link operation (LE) (Function code data = 24)

Turning OFF the (WE-KP) command prohibits changing of function code data from the keypad. Only when the (WE-KP) command is turned ON, you may access function code data from the keypad according to the setting of function code F00 as listed below.
If (WE-KP) is set to: ON OFF F00 0 1 Disabled Function Permit editing of function code data Inhibit editing of function code data except F00 Inhibit editing of function code data

Turning ON the (LE) command selects link operation. The drive will run the motor with the frequency command or drive command given via the RS485 communications facility defined by function code H30. If the (LE) command is not assigned to any terminal, the drive will interpret (LE) as being always ON. Reset PID integral and differential components (PID-RST) (Function code data = 33)

Turning ON the (PID-RST) command resets the PID integral and differential components. Hold PID integral component (PID-HLD) (Function code data = 34)

Turning ON the (PID-HLD) command holds the current drive output voltage constant by suppressing an increase of PID integral component. Run forward (FWD) (Function code E98/E99 data = 98)

If the (WE-KP) command is not assigned to any terminal, the drive will interpret (WE-KP) as being always ON. Disable PID control (Hz/PID) (Function code data = 20)

If the (FWD) command is turned ON, the drive runs the motor forward; if OFF, it decelerates the motor to a stop. Run reverse (REV) (Function code E98/E99 data = 99)

Turning the (Hz/PID) command ON/OFF enables or disables the PID control. If the PID control is disabled with the (Hz/PID) being OFF, the drive runs the motor with the frequency manually set by any of multi-step, keypad, or analog input. REFERENCE: Refer to the AF-300 Mini Users Manual, Chapter 4, Section 4.8 PID Frequency Command Generator for details. Switch Normal/Inverse operation (IVS) (Function code data = 21)

If the (REV) is turned ON, the drive runs the motor in reverse; if OFF, it decelerates the motor to a stop. E20, E27 Terminal Function for [Y1], [30A], [30B] and [30C]

Turning the (IVS) command ON/OFF switches the output frequency control between normal (proportional to the set frequency components) and inverse operation for the PID process or manually set frequencies. To select the inverse operation, switch the (IVS) command to ON. When the PID control is enabled, turning the (IVS) command ON inverts the PID process control selected by function code J01. For example, if the PID process

E20 to E27 may assign output signals to terminals [Y1] (transistor switch) and [30A], [30B] and [30C] (mechanical relay contacts) which are general purpose programmable output terminals. These function codes may also switch the logic system between normal and negative to define the property of those output terminals so that the drive logic may interpret either the ON or OFF status of each terminal as active.

5-15

Terminals [30A], [30B], and [30C] are mechanical relay contacts. In normal logic, if an alarm occurs, the relay will be excited so that [30A] and [30C] will be shortcircuited, signaling an occurrence of the error to external equipment. On the other hand, in negative logic the relay will cut off the excitation current to open [30A] and [30C]. This may be useful for the implementation of failsafe power systems. NOTE: When negative logic is utilized, the drive switches all output signals to the active side (for example, the alarm side). Therefore, if it is desirable to avoid system malfunctions caused by this, interlock the signals to keep them ON using an external power source or similar. To keep explanations as simple as possible, the examples shown below are all written assuming the normal logic system. Drive running (Speed > 0) (RUN) (Function code data = 0)

level) or hardware (H12 = 1: Current limit). The minimum ON-duration is 100 ms. Auto-restart after recovery of power (IPF) (Function code data = 6)

This signal is turned ON during the period from when the drive detects the undervoltage of the intermediate dc circuit and shuts down the output (if auto-restart after recovery of power is selected (F14 = 4 or 5)) until auto-restarting (the output frequency has recovered up to the set frequency). At the moment of auto-restarting this signal is turned OFF. Motor overload early warning (OL) (Function code data = 7)

This signal is used to issue a motor overload early warning in order to enable corrective action to be taken before the drive detects a motor overload (0L1 alarm) and shuts down its output. The motor properties are specified by function codes F10 (electronic thermal selection) and F12 (thermal time constant). If a value calculated from the settings of F10 and F12 exceeds the detection level of the early warning set by function code E34, this signal is turned ON. Normally, the recommended set current level for E34 is 80 to 90% of the allowable continuous load current set by function code F11. NOTE: Function code E34 is effective not only for the motor overload early warning (OL), but also the current detection (ID) and low level current detection (IDL). Retry in operation (TRY) (Function code data = 26)

This output signal is used to tell the external equipment that the drive is running at a speed faster than 0. It switches ON when the drive output frequency exceeds the start frequency of the motor and switches OFF when it does not or when the drive is dc-braking the motor. Frequency equivalence (FAR) (Function code data = 1)

This signal is turned ON when the difference between the output and set frequencies has come into the allowable error zone (preset to 2.5 Hz). Frequency detection (FDT) (Function code data = 2)

This signal is turned ON when the output frequency of drive has come to the frequency detection level specified by function code E31. It is turned OFF when the output frequency drops lower than the detection level for 1 Hz (hysteresis band of the frequency comparator: preset to 1 Hz). Undervoltage detection (LU) (Function code data = 3)

This signal is turned ON when the retry facility specified by function codes H04 (number of retries) and H05 (retry interval) is activated. Refer to function codes H04 and H05 for details of the output timing and number of retries. Service life alarm (LIFE) (Function code data = 30)

This signal is turned ON when the voltage of the intermediate dc circuit of the drive drops below the specified level, or when the motor stops due to activation of the undervoltage protection feature (undervoltage trip). It is turned OFF if the intermediate dc voltage exceeds the specified voltage. Torque limiting (Current limiting) (IOL) (Function code data = 5)

This signal is turned ON when it is judged that the service life of capacitors (in the intermediate dc circuit, and electrolytic capacitors on the printed circuit boards) or the cooling fan has expired. This facility provides tentative information for parts service life. If this signal is issued, check the service life of these parts in your system according to the maintenance procedure to determine whether they should be replaced or not. To maintain stable and reliable operation and avoid unexpected failures, daily and periodic maintenance must be performed.

This signal is turned ON when the drive is limiting the motor supply current by activating the current limiter of either software (F43: Function select, F44: Operation

REFERENCE: For details, refer to Chapter 7, Section 7.2, Table 7.2 Replacement Parts Judgement with Menu #5 Maintenance Information as a Guide. Drive running (RUN2) (Function code data = 35)

E50 Coefficient for Speed Indication This function code sets a coefficient to be used for setting the constant feeding rate time, load shaft speed or line speed and for displaying its output status.

This signal is turned ON when the main switching circuit (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) gates) is activated; it is OFF when it is not activated. Related item: Refer to drive running (Speed > 0) (RUN). Overload prevention control (OLP) (Function code data = 36) Where, Freq. is the set frequency if each expression is for one of the set data for the constant feeding rate time, load shaft speed, or line speed; it is the output frequency if each expression is for the output status monitor. NOTE: PID display coefficients A and B (E40 and E41) are the exclusive conversion factors to equate an indicated value with the process command and feedback values in PID control. C21 Timer Operation

This signal is turned ON when the overload prevention facility is activated if the frequency drop rate comes to be the setting specified by function code H70. The minimum ON-duration is 100 ms. REFERENCE: For details of the overload prevention control, refer to the descriptions of function code H70. Current detection (ID) (Function code data = 37)

This signal is turned ON when the output current exceeds the operation level specified by function code E34 and stays in this status for the duration specified by function code E35 (on delay timer). The minimum ON-duration is 100 ms. NOTE: Function codes E34 and E35 are effective not only for current detection (ID), but often also for overload early warning (OL) and low level current detection (IDL). Low level current detection (IDL) (Function code data = 41)

Enables or disables timer operation. If it is enabled, entering a run command will make the drive run the motor for the period preset in the timer. An example of timer operation: Setting up the timer conditions beforehand Set C21 to 1 to enable timer operation. To display the timer count on the LED monitor, set function code E43 (LED monitor) to 13 (Timer count). Set up the frequency for the timer operation using the built-in potentiometer or the / keys. If the LED displays the timer count, press the key to switch it to the speed monitor and then set the frequency for the timer operation. Timer operation (by giving a run command with the key): 1) Use the or key to set the timer count (in seconds) while monitoring the current count displayed on the LED monitor. Note that the timer count is expressed as integers. 2) Press the key to run the motor, and the timer will start to count down. The moment the timer finishes the countdown, the drive stops running the motor even if the key is not pressed. (Timer operation is possible even when the timer count is not displayed on the LED monitor.) 3) After the drive decelerates the motor to a stop, the timer count on the LED monitor will flash.

This signal is turned ON when the output current drops below the operation level specified by function code E34 and stays in this status for the duration specified by function code E35 (on delay timer). The minimum turning ON time is 100 ms. NOTE: Function codes E34 and E35 are effective not only for the low level current detection (IDL), but often also for the overload early warning (OL) and current detection (ID). Alarm relay contact output (for any fault) (ALM) (Function code data = 99)

This signal is turned ON if the protection facility is activated so that the drive enters Alarm mode.

5-17

NOTE: If timer operation started by the terminal command (FWD) is finished and the drive decelerates the motor to a stop, then the LED monitor displays End and the monitor indication (0 if the timer count is selected) alternately. Turning (FWD) OFF will switch the LED back to the monitor indication. Refer to the AF-300 Mini Users Manual, Chapter 4 BLOCK DIAGRAMS FOR CONTROL LOGIC for details. P02, P03 Motor Parameter (Rated capacity and rated current)

P99 = 1 for GE standard motors P99 = 4 for Other motors For motors from other manufacturers or unknown models, set P99 to 4 (Other motors). H04, H05 Retry (Times, latency time) To automatically exit from the alarm status and restart the drive, use the retry functions. The drive automatically exits from Alarm mode and restarts without issuing a block alarm even if it has already entered the forced Alarm mode. If the drive has entered Alarm mode many times in excess of the number of times specified by function code H04, it issues a block alarm and does not exit Alarm mode for restarting. Listed below are the recoverable alarm statuses of the drive.

Retry times (H04)

The 230 V and 460 V series of motors share the same data listed above. P99 Motor Selection

Set the number of retry times for automatic exit from Alarm mode. If the drive has entered Alarm mode many times in excess of the number of times specified by the function code, it issues a block alarm and does not exit alarm mode for restarting.

WARNING
If the retry function has been selected, the drive may automatically restart according to some causes after tripping. (Design the machine so that human safety is ensured after restarting.) Otherwise an accident could occur.

In order to perform automatic control features such as the auto torque boost/auto energy saving and slip compensation or overload protection for the motor (electronic thermal), the drive invokes the rated values and properties of the motor. To match the drive properties of the drive and motor, set the motor properties to this code and set function code H03 (Initialize data) to 2 to initialize the motor parameter. This action automatically updates the data of function code P03 and the constants used inside the drive. When using GE standard motors, select the data listed below according to model.

Retry latency time (H05)

Sets the latency time for automatic exit from Alarm mode. Refer to the timing scheme diagram below. Operation timing chart

If instantaneous overcurrent limiting is enabled, the drive will immediately turn off its output gates to suppress the increase of current and control the output frequency. If current limiting processing makes the motor decrease its torque temporarily and causes a problem, then disable the overcurrent limiting to cause an overcurrent trip and apply brake to the motor. NOTE: The same functions to limit the output current are implemented by software as the function codes F43 and F44. Generally, software features have an operation delay. Even if you have enabled the function codes F43 and F44, enable the function code H12. H69 Regenerative Energy Suppressing

Gradual Acceleration/Deceleration

Specifies the acceleration and deceleration patterns (output frequency patterns). Linear acceleration/deceleration The drive runs the motor with the constant acceleration and deceleration. S-curved acceleration/deceleration To reduce the impact that the drive motor gives its load during acceleration/deceleration, the drive gradually accelerates/decelerates the motor at the both ends of the acceleration/deceleration zones. Curvilinear acceleration/deceleration The drive controls the motor for maximum performance, with the following acceleration/deceleration pattern: Linear acceleration/deceleration of constant torque output for the motor in the zone under the base frequency Two times speed and a half acceleration/ deceleration at the base frequency in the zone over the base frequency. Instantaneous Overcurrent Limiting

The moment that regenerative energy exceeding the absorbtive capacity of drive occurs during motor braking, the drive will trip and enter into Alarm mode due to overvoltage. If regenerative energy suppressing is enabled, the drive lengthens the deceleration time for 3 times the set time as long as the intermediate dc voltage exceeds the preset voltage suppressing level, and decreases the deceleration torque for 1/3. In this way the drive decreases the regenerative energy progressively. This control is to suppress the torque generated by the motor in deceleration. However when a load brakes the motor the control has no effect, and should not be used. When the drive features a braking resistor, disable this control. Otherwise, the braking resistor and the control may conflict with each other, and may adversely affect the deceleration time. H70 Overload Prevention Control

Enables overload suppressing control. If enabled, this function code is used to set the deceleration (Hz/s). Before the drive enters alarm mode due to the heat sink overheating or an overload (alarm code: 0H1 or 0LU), this control decreases the drives output frequency to suppress the trip. Apply this control to equipment (such as pumps) whose drive frequency drops in line with any decrease in load. If you want to drive this kind of equipment even if the drive reduces the output frequency, enable this control. NOTE: Do not use this function with equipment whose load does not diminish with reduced drive output frequency, as it will have no effect.

H12

Selects whether the drive will perform current limiting processing or cause an overcurrent trip if the output current exceeds the instantaneous overcurrent limit level.

H98

Protection/Maintenance (Selection)

Specify a combination between the output phase loss protection, input phase loss protection, and automatic carrier frequency lowering. Automatic lowering of carrier frequency When using a drive in a critical system or any other system where drive operation should not be interrupted, select this feature to protect the system from any failure resulting from the drive tripping due to the heat sink overheating (0H1) or overload (0LU), abnormally high ambient temperature, or a cooling mechanism failure. This feature lowers the drive frequency before the drive enters the alarm mode. However, the level of motor noise may increase. Input phase loss protection (L ) The drive will enter the alarm mode and issue an alarm (L ) if a phase loss is detected in the three-phase input power source. Do not enable this protection with drives with singlephase input, as it is not applicable. When operating a drive with three-phase input with a single phase for testing purposes, this protection may be disabled, but only if the load can be reduced. Output phase loss protection (0PL) The drive will enter the alarm mode activated by the output phase loss protection, and issue the alarm 0PL if it detects an output phase loss while it is running. If a magnetic contactor that has been inserted in the drive output circuits switches off when the drive is running, however, this protection will not be activated.

6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Before Proceeding with Troubleshooting

WARNING
If any of the protective functions have been activated, first eliminate the cause. Then, after checking that the all run commands are set to OFF, reset the alarm. Note that if the alarm is reset while any run commands are set to ON, the drive may supply power to the motor and cause it to start. Injury may occur. Even though the drive has interrupted power to the motor, if voltage is applied to the main circuit power input terminals L1/R, L2/S and L3/T (L1/L and L2/N for 1-phase voltage input), then voltage may also be present at the drive output terminals U, V, and W. Some residual electric charge may remain in the intermediate dc circuit capacitor even after the power is turned off. It may take some time until the intermediate dc circuit voltage reaches a safe level. Before touching any part of the circuit, wait for at least five minutes after the power has been turned off, and verify that the dc voltage between main circuit terminals P (+) and N (-) is less than 25 V using a multimeter.

Electric shock may occur. Follow the procedure below to resolve any problems. (1) If a connection has been performed incorrectly, refer to Chapter 2, Subsection 2.3.4 Wiring for Main Circuit Terminals and Ground Terminals. (2) Is an alarm code displayed on the LED monitor?

CHECK Check input status of the forward/reverse command using Menu #4 I/O checking. SUGGESTED ACTIONS Input a run command. Set either the forward or reverse operation command to OFF if both commands are being inputted. Correct the assignment of commands (FWD) and (REV) to function codes E98 and E99. Connect the external circuit wires to control circuit terminals [FWD] and [REV] correctly. If the printed circuit board is malfunctioning, replace it. CHECK Check input status of the forward/reverse rotation direction command using Menu #4 I/O checking. SUGGESTED ACTIONS Input the rotation direction (F02=0), or select the keypad operation with which the rotation direction is fixed (F02=2 or 3). CHECK Check which operation mode the drive is in. SUGGESTED ACTIONS Make a transition from existing mode to Run mode. CHECK Check the higher priority run command with using Menu #2 Data checking and Menu #4 I/O checking, while referring to the block diagram of the drive command generator*. *Refer to Chapter 4 in the AF-300 Mini Users Manual. SUGGESTED ACTIONS Change any incorrect function code data settings (e.g., cancel the higher priority run command). CHECK Check that a frequency command has been input, using Menu #4 I/O checking. SUGGESTED ACTIONS Set the value of the set frequency to the same or higher than that of the starting or stop frequency (F23 or F25). Reconsider the starting and stop frequencies (F23 and F25), and if necessary, change to lower values. Inspect the frequency command devices, signal converters, switches or relay contacts. Replace any that are faulty. Connect the external circuit wires correctly to terminals [13], [12], [11] and [C1]. CHECK Check the higher priority run command using Menu #2 Data checking and Menu #4 I/O checking, while referring to the block diagram of the drive command generator. *Refer to Chapter 4 in the AF-300 Mini Users Manual. SUGGESTED ACTIONS Correct any incorrect function code data settings (e.g. cancel the higher priority run command).

7. Maintenance and Inspection

To avoid failures and assure reliable long-term operation, make daily and periodic inspections. Take the following precautions while performing any maintenance work.

WARNING
The intermediate dc circuit capacitor may retain its charge for some time after power is turned off. Therefore it may take some time until the intermediate dc circuit voltage falls to a safe level. Do not open the control circuit terminal block cover for at least 5 minutes after the power has been turned off. Then remove the control circuit and main circuit terminal block covers and before starting any maintenance and inspection, use a multimeter verify that the dc voltage between main circuit terminals P (+) and N (-) does not exceed a safe level (<25 V). Electric shock may occur. Maintenance, inspection, and parts replacement should be carried out only by authorized persons. Remove watches, rings and other metallic materials before starting work. Use insulated tools. Never attempt to modify the drive. Electric shock or injuries could occur.

7.1 Daily Inspection

Without removing the covers while the drive operates or while it is turned on, perform an external visual inspection for operating abnormalities. Check that the drive is performaing to specification as expected. Check that the operating environment conforms to Chapter 2, Section Operating Environment. Check that the LED monitor displays normally. Check for abnormal noise, odor, or excessive vibration. Check for signs of overheating (such as discoloration) and for other defects.

7.2 Periodic Inspection

Perform periodic inspection using the list items of Table 7.1. Stop the motor, turn the drive off and remove the control and main circuit terminal block covers to perform periodic inspection.

(Note 1) The judgement level of part replacement interval with Menu #5 Maintenance information is used as a guide. Determine the replacement interval on the basis of the standard replacement years. (See page 7-8.) If the drive is stained, wipe it off with a chemically neutral cloth to remove dust, use a vacuum cleaner.

Estimation of service life using maintenance information Menu #5 Maintenance Information in Program mode can be used to display the recommended time for replacement of the intermediate dc circuit capacitor, electrolytic capacitors on the printed circuit board, and cooling fan. When operating time exceeds the early warning level, an early warning signal is output to any external device through terminal [Y1] (function code E20). When any replacement exceeds the recommended time, terminal [Y1] also outputs an ON signal.)
Table 7.2 Parts Replacement Time Estimation with Menu #5 Maintenance Information Parts to be replaced Intermediate dc circuit capacitor Electrolytic capacitor on the printed circuit board Cooling fan (Applicable motor rating: 2 to 5 hp) Judgement level 85% or lower of the capacitance than that of the factory setting 61,000 hours or longer as accumulated run time 61,000 hours or longer as accumulated run time (Assumed life of cooling fan at ambient drive temperature of 40 C)

(1)

Intermediate dc circuit capacitor

Determine the capacitance of the intermediate dc circuit capacitor as follows: Capacitance is displayed as a reduction ratio (%) of the initial value written to the drive memory before shipment. Capacitance measurement procedure 1) Remove the RS485 communications card (option) from the drive if it is mounted. Disconnect the dc bus link circuit to other drives from terminals P (+) and N (-) of the main circuit if any. A dc reactor (option) or braking resistor (option) need not be disconnected. Keep the ambient temperature at 25 10C. 2) Turn off the digital inputs (FWD, REV, and X1 to X3) at the control terminals. If an external potentiometer is connected, to terminal [13], remove it. Set the data of function codes E20 and E27 so that the transistor output [Y1] or relay output [30A, B, C] do not come ON while the drive power is turned off. (The recommended settings are to assign normal logic signal (RUN) and (ALM) to terminals [Y1] and [30A, B, C] respectively. 3) Turn the drive power on. 4) Check that the cooling fan rotates and the drive is at a stop. 5) Turn the main power supply off. Start measuring the capacitance of intermediate dc circuit capacitor. 6) After the LED monitor goes completely dark, turn the main power supply on again. 7) Select Menu #5 Maintenance information in Program mode, and check the reduction ratio (%) of the capacitance of the intermediate dc circuit capacitor. (2) Electrolytic capacitors on the printed circuit boards

The drive counts hours for which the power has been applied to the control circuit. The accumulated time will be multiplied by the life constant depending on the temperature inside the drive, and displayed on the LED monitor. According to the displayed hours, determine when capacitors should be replaced. The display unit is 1000 hours. (3) Cooling fan

The drive accumulates hours for which the cooling fan has run. The display unit is 1000 hours. The accumulated time should be used just a guide, since the actual service life will be significantly affected by temperature and operating environment.

7.3 Measurement of Electrical Values in Main Circuit

Because the voltage and current of the power supply (input) of the main circuit of the drive and the output (motor) include harmonic components, the indicated values vary according to the type of meter used to measure them. Use meters indicated in Table 7.3 when measuring for commercial frequencies. The power factor cannot be measured by a commercially available power factor meter that measures the phase difference between the voltage and current. To obtain the power factor, measure the power, voltage and current on each of the input and output sides and calculate using the following formula. 3-phase input 1-phase input

7.4 Insulation Test

Because an insulation test is performed in the factory before shipment, avoid a Megger test. If a Megger test is unavoidable, follow the procedure below. Caution: an incorrect test procedure will damage the drive. A dielectric strength test will also damage the drive if the wrong test procedure is used. If a dielectric strength test is necessary, contact the shop where you bought the product, or GE Fuji. (1) Megger test of main circuit 1) Use a 500 Vdc Megger, and be sure to shut off the main power supply during measurement. 2) If the test voltage leaks to the control circuit due to the wiring, disconnect all the control wiring. 3) Connect the main circuit terminals using a common cable as shown in Figure 7.2. 4) The Megger test must be limited to across the common line of the main circuit and the ground terminal ( G). 5) 5 M or a larger value displayed at the Megger indicates a correct state. (The value is for a discrete drive.)

Figure 7.2 Megger Test

(2)

Dielectric strength test of control circuit

Do not perform a Megger test or dielectric strength test for the control circuit. Prepare a high resistance range tester for the control circuit. 1) Disconnect all the external wiring from the control circuit terminals. 2) Perform a continuity test to the ground. 1 M or a larger measurement indicates a correct state. (3) Dielectric strength test of main circuit and sequence control circuit

Disconnect all the drive terminals so that the test voltage is not applied.

7.5 List of Periodical Replacement Parts

Each part of the product has its own service life that will vary according to the environmental and operating conditions. It is recommended that the following parts be replaced as specified below. When the replacement is necessary, contact your dealer where you purchased the product, or GE Fuji.

Item Frequency limiter Bias frequency Gain for frequency setting Jump frequency control Jogging operation Auto-restart after momentary power failure Slip compensation Current limit (By hardware) (By software)

Explanation High and low limiters [Hz] can be set. (Setting range: 0 to 400 Hz) Biases of set freq. and PID command can be set between 0 and 100%. Analog input gain can be set within the range from 0 to 200%. At voltage input, proportional frequency can be set to 10.5V and 21mA by adjusting gain. Three operation points and their jump hysteresis width (0 to 30Hz) can be set. Operation by the RUN key or digital input signal (FWDREV) (Frequency setting and ACC/DEC time common setting exclusive for jogging) Restarts the drive without stopping the motor after instantaneous power failure. Compensates for decrease in speed according to the load during constant speed operation. Limits the current to prevent overcurrent trip caused by rapid load change or instantaneous power failure when current limitation by the software is impossible. (This function can be canceled.) Automatically reduces the frequency to make output current under the preset value. (Current limit condition can be selected from between constant speed operation only and acceleration and constant speed operation.) Process PID control can be made. Process command: Keypad, built-in potentiometer, analog input (12, C1), RS485 communication Feedback signal: Analog input (12, C1) Makes the deceleration time 3 times longer to avoid OV trip when dc link circuit voltage exceeds the overvoltage limit. Controls output voltage to minimize motor loss during constant speed operation. (Torque boost during acceleration can be selected from manual variable torque, manual constant torque, and auto torque.) Decreases the output frequency automatically to prevent tripping before the inverters overload preventive function is activated by ambient temperature rise, frequent use, or large motor load.

Explanation Stops the drive by detecting overcurrent caused by overload in the output circuit. Stops the drive by detecting overcurrent caused by short-circuit in the output circuit. Stops the drive by detecting overcurrent caused by ground fault in the output circuit. (Detected when the drive is started.) Stops the drive by detecting overvoltage (100V/200V series: 400 Vdc, 400V series: 800V) in dc link circuit. Protects the drive from surge voltage entering between main circuit power cable and earth cable. Stops the drive by detecting voltage drop (100V/200V series: 200V DC, 400V series: 400V) in dc link circuit. Stops the drive against input phase loss (by simply detecting the ripple voltage at a capacitor). Stops the drive by detecting output cables phase loss at the start of operation or during operation. Stop the drive by detecting drive heat sink temperature caused by a failure or overload of the cooling fan. Stops the drive and built-in braking transistor if discharging capability or allowable loss set for the braking resistor is exceeded more frequency than the set number of times. Stops the drive by calculating the IGBT internal temperature from the output current and drive heat sink temperature. Stops the drive to protect the motor when the set output current is exceeded. (Thermal time constant can be adjusted 0.5 to 75.0min.) A PTC thermistor stops the drive to protect the motor. Warning signal can be output based on the preset level before stopping the drive.

8.3 Terminal Specifications

8.3.1 Terminal Functions For details about the main and control circuit terminals, refer to Chapter 2, Subsection 2.3.4 and Subsection 2.3.6 (Table 2.4), respectively. 8.3.2 Connection Diagram for Operation by External Signal Inputs

Note 1: Install a recommended molded case circuit breaker or a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in the primary circuit of the drive to protect wiring. At this time, ensure that the circuit breaker rating is equivalent to or lower than the recommended rating. Note 2: If magnetic contactors or solenoids are near the drive, connect a surge suppressor across their coils. Note 3: When connecting a dc reactor (option), remove the jumper bar from across terminals [P1] and [P+]. Note 4: The (THR) function can be used by assigning code 9 (Alarm from external equipment) to any of terminals [X1] to [X3], [FWD] or [REV] (function code; E01 to E03, E98, or E99). For details, refer to Chapter 9. Note 5: Frequency can be set by connecting a frequency command device (external potentiometer) between the terminals [11] and [13] instead of inputting voltage signal (0 to +10 Vdc or 0 to +5 Vdc) between the terminals [12] and [11]. Note 6: Use shielded or twisted wires for control circuit wiring. When using shielded wires, connect the shields to G. To prevent malfunction due to noise, keep the control circuit wiring as far away from the main circuit wiring as possible (10 cm or farther recommended), and never install them in the same wire duct. When control circuit wiring must cross the main power circuit wiring, position the cables at right angles.

Name of peripheral equipment Molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) Function and application Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) are designed to protect the power circuits between the power distribution panel and the drives main terminals (L1/R, L2/S and L3/T for 3-phase, or L1/L and L2/N for 1-phase power source) from overload or short-circuit. This in turn prevents secondary damage caused by the drive malfunctioning. Use the MCCBs with recommended rated currents listed in the table below.

WARNING

When connecting the drive to the power supply, add a recommended molded case circuit breaker in the power supply circuit. Do not use the devices with the rated current out of the recommenced range.

Fire could occur.

Magnetic contactor (MC) An MC can be used on both the power input and output sides of the drive. On each side, the MC works as described below. When inserted in the output circuit of the drive, an MC can also switch the motor drive power source between the drive output and commercial power lines. At the power source side Insert an MC in the power source side of the drive in order to: 1) Forcibly disconnect the drive from its power source (generally, commercial/factory power lines) with the protection facility built into the drive, or with the terminal signal line. 2) Stop drive operation in an emergency when the drive cannot interpret the stop command due to internal/external circuit failures. 3) Cut off the drive from the power source when the MCCB inserted in the power source side cannot disconnect it for maintenance or inspection purposes. For this purpose only, it is recommended that you use an MC capable of being turned on/off manually. Note: When your system requires the motor(s) driven by the drive to be started/stopped with the MC, the frequency of the starting/stopping operation should be no more than once per hour. The more frequent the operation, the shorter the life of the MC and capacitor(s) used in the intermediate DC circuit, due to thermal fatigue caused by the frequent establishment of the current flow. If this is not necessary, start/stop the motor with the terminal commands (FWD), (REV) and/or (HLD), or with the keypad. At the output side Prevents externally back-fed current from being applied to the drive power output terminals (U, V, and W) unexpectedly. An MC should be used, for example, if a circuit that switches the motor driving source between the drive output and commercial/factory power lines is connected to the drive. Note: As application of high voltage external current to the drives secondary (output) circuits may damage the IGBTs, MCs should be used in the power control system circuits to switch the motor drive power source to the commercial/factory power lines after the motor has come to a complete stop. Also ensure that voltage is never mistakenly applied to the drive output terminals due to unexpected timer operation, or similar. Driving the motor using commercial power lines MCs can also be used to switch the power source of the motor driven by the drive to a commercial power source.

Name of option Braking resistors (Standard model) (DBRs) DC reactors (DCRs)

Function and application A braking resistor converts regenerative energy derived from deceleration of the motor and converts it to heat for dissipation. Use of a braking resistor results in improved deceleration performance of the drive. A DCR is mainly used for power supply normalization, and for supplied power factor correction (for reducing harmonic components). 1) For power supply normalization Use a DCR when the capacity of a power supply transformer exceeds 500 kVA and is 10 times or more the rated drive capacity. In this case, the percentage-reactance of the power source decreases, and harmonic components and their peak levels increase. These factors may damage rectifiers or capacitors in the converter section of drive, or degrade the capacitor (which can shorten the drives service life). Also use a DCR when there are thyristor-driven loads or when power factor correction capacitors are being turned on/off. Use a DCR when the interphase unbalance ratio of the drive power source exceeds 2%. 2) For supplied power factor correction (harmonic component reduction) Generally a capacitor is used to correct the power factor of the load. However it cannot be used in a system that includes a drive. Using a DCR increases the reactance of the drives power source so as to decrease harmonic components on the power source lines and correct the drives power factor. Using a DCR corrects the input power factor to approximately 95%. Note: As shipped, the drive has a jumper bar connected across the terminals P1 and P (+) on the terminal block. Remove the jumper bar when connecting a DCR.

Main option Output circuit filters (OFLs)

Include an OFL in the drive power output circuit to: 1) Suppress voltage fluctuation at the motor input terminals This protects the motor from insulation damage caused by the application of high voltage surge currents in 460 V drives. 2) Suppress leakage current from the power output lines (due to harmonic components) This reduces the leakage current when the motor is connected by long power feed lines. It is recommended that the length of the power feed line be kept to less than 1200 feet (400 m). 3) Minimize emission and/or induction noise in the power feed lines OFLs are effective in reducing noise from long power feed lines, such as those used in plants, etc. Note: Use an ACR within the allowable carrier frequency range specified by function code F26. The filter will overheat is any other ACR is used.

Function and application

Main option

Ferrite ring reactors for An ACL is used to reduce radio-frequency noise emitted by the drive. reducing radio frequency noise An ACL suppresses the outflow of high frequency harmonics caused by the switching (ACL) operation in the drives internal power supply lines. Pass the power supply lines together through the ACL. If wiring length between the drive and motor is less than 66 ft (20 m), place an ACL around the power supply lines; if it is more than 66 ft (20 m), put it in the power output lines of the drive. Options for 100 V single-phase An optional 100 V single-phase power supply may be used to operate a drive designed for a power supply 230 V 3-phase power supply.

Options for Operation and Communications

External potentiometer for frequency command Remote keypad Extension cable for remote operation RS485 communications card Drive support loader software Surge absorbers

An external potentiometer may be used to set the drive frequency. Connect the potentiometer to control signal terminals 11 to 13 of the drive. Used when performing drive remote operations with the remote keypad. The extension cable connects the drive with the remote keypad to enable remote operation of the drive. For communicating with a PLC or personal computer system. The Windows-based drive support loader software makes setting function codes easy. Requires use of the RS485 communications card. A surge absorber suppresses surge currents and noise from the power lines to ensure effective protection of your power system from the malfunctioning of the magnetic contactors, mini-relays and timers. A surge suppressor absorbs high surge currents induced by lightning, and noise from the power supply lines. Use of a surge suppressor is effective in preventing electronic equipment, including drives, from damage or malfunction from these causes. An arrester suppresses surge currents and noise from the power supply lines. Use of an arrester is effective in preventing electronic equipment, including drives, from damage or malfunctioning caused by such surges and/or noise. Displays the frequency in accordance with signal output from the drive. The AF-300 Mini series of drives can be installed in the control board of your system using mounting adapters which use the mounting holes intended for conventional drives (E11 series of 1 hp or below, or 5 hp). The E11S (2 hp/3 hp) and E11 (1 hp/2 hp) series may be replaced with any of the AF-300 Mini series drives without the use of adapters. A rail mounting base allows any of the AF-300 Mini series of drive to be mounted on a 35 mm standard DIN rail.

10.4 Harmonic Component Regulation in the EU

10.4.1 General comments When you use general-purpose industrial drives in the EU, the harmonics emitted from the drive to power lines are strictly regulated as stated below. If a drive whose rated input is 1 kW or less is connected to public low-voltage power supply, it is regulated by the regulation related to harmonics emission from drives to power lines (with the exception of industrial low-voltage power lines). Refer to Figure 10.4 below for details.

Drive types marked with in the table above are compliant with the EN61000-3-2 (+A14), so they may be connected to commercial power lines unconditionally. Conditions apply when connecting models marked with . If you want to connect them to commercial power lines, you need to obtain permission from the local electric power supplier. In general, you will need to provide the supplier with the harmonics current data of the drive. To obtain the data, contact us.

Note 1) When supplying 3-phase 230 Vac power stepped down from a 3-phase 460 Vac power line using a transformer, the level of harmonic flow from the 460 Vac line will be regulated.
