the equipment.
General warning warns about conditions, other than those caused by electricity, which can result in
physical injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Electricity safety
WARNING! Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain the drive!
Never work on the drive, motor cable or motor when input power is applied. After disconnecting the input power, always
wait for 10 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the drive, motor or
motor cable.
1. There is no voltage between the drive input phases L1, L2 and L3 and the ground.
2. There is no voltage between terminals + and BR and the ground.
Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the external control circuits. Externally supplied
control circuits may carry dangerous voltage even when the input power of the drive is switched off.
Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that all

The ACS255 variable speed drive is intended for professional installation and commissioning into complete equipment or systems
as part of a fixed installation. If installed incorrectly it may present a safety hazard. The ACS255 uses high voltages and currents,
carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control mechanical plant that may cause injury. Close attention is
required to system design and electrical installation to avoid hazards in either normal operation or in the event of equipment
malfunction. Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain this product.
System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out only by personnel who have the necessary
training and experience. They must carefully read this safety information and the instructions in this Guide and follow all
information regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the ACS255, including the specified environmental limitations.
Do not perform any flash test or voltage withstand test on the ACS255. Any electrical measurements required should be carried out
with the ACS255 disconnected.
Electric shock hazard! Disconnect and ISOLATE the ACS255 before attempting any work on it. High voltages are present at the
terminals and within the drive for up to 10 minutes after disconnection of the electrical supply. Always ensure by using a suitable
multimeter that no voltage is present on any drive power terminals prior to commencing any work.
Where supply to the drive is through a plug and socket connector, do not disconnect until 10 minutes have elapsed after turning off
the supply.
Ensure correct grounding connections. The ground cable must be sufficient to carry the maximum supply fault current which
normally will be limited by the fuses. Suitably rated fuses should be fitted in the mains supply to the drive, according to any local
legislation or codes.
Do not carry out any work on the drive control cables when power is applied to the drive or to the external control circuits.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC,
Safety of Machinery. In particular, the machine manufacturer is responsible for providing a main switch and ensuring the electrical
equipment complies with EN60204-1.
The level of integrity offered by the ACS255 control input functions – for example stop/start, forward/reverse and maximum speed
is not sufficient for use in safety-critical applications without independent channels of protection. All applications where
malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk assessment and further protection provided where needed.
The driven motor can start at power up if the enable input signal is present.
The STOP function does not remove potentially lethal high voltages. ISOLATE the drive and wait 10 minutes before starting any
work on it. Never carry out any work on the Drive, Motor or Motor cable when the input power is still applied.
The ACS255 can be programmed to operate the driven motor at speeds above or below the speed achieved when connecting the
motor directly to the mains supply. Obtain confirmation from the manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about
suitability for operation over the intended speed range prior to machine start up.
Do not activate the automatic fault reset function on any systems whereby this may cause a potentially dangerous situation.
The ACS255 has an Ingress Protection rating of IP20 or IP66 depending on the model. IP20 units must be installed in a suitable
enclosure.
ACS255s are intended for indoor use only.
When mounting the drive, ensure that sufficient cooling is provided. Do not carry out drilling operations with the drive in place,
dust and metal shavings from drilling may lead to damage.
The entry of conductive or flammable foreign bodies should be prevented. Flammable material should not be placed close to the
drive
Relative humidity must be less than 95% (non-condensing).
Ensure that the supply voltage, frequency and number of phases correspond to the rating of the ACS255 as delivered.
Never connect the mains power supply to the Output terminals U, V, W.
Do not install any type of automatic switchgear between the drive and the motor
Wherever control cabling is close to power cabling, maintain a minimum separation of 4 in. (100 mm) and arrange crossings at 90
degrees

5.1.2. Grounding Guidelines
The ground terminal of each ACS255 should be individually connected DIRECTLY to the site ground bus bar (through the filter if installed).
ACS255 ground connections should not loop from one drive to another, or to, or from any other equipment. Ground loop impedance must
confirm to local industrial safety regulations. To meet UL regulations, UL approved ring crimp terminals should be used for all ground wiring
connections.
The drive Safety Ground must be connected to system ground. Ground impedance must conform to the requirements of national and local
industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes. The integrity of all ground connections should be checked periodically.
5.1.3. Protective Earth Conductor
The Cross sectional area of the PE Conductor must be at least equal to that of the incoming supply conductor.
This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist),
a floor ground rod, or bus bar. Grounding points must comply with national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes.
The safety ground terminal provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor cable shield connected to this terminal (drive
end) should also be connected to the motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or EMI clamp to connect the shield to the safety
ground terminal.
The motor ground must be connected to one of the ground terminals on the drive.
As with all inverters, a leakage current to earth can exist. The ACS255 is designed to produce the minimum possible leakage current while
complying with worldwide standards. The level of current is affected by motor cable length and type, the effective switching frequency, the
earth connections used and the type of RFI filter installed. If a GFCI (Ground Fault Current interrupter) is to be used, the following conditions
apply: -
The device must be suitable for protecting equipment with a DC component in the leakage current
Individual GFCI’s should be used for each ACS255
The ACS255 product range has input supply voltage surge suppression components fitted to protect the drive from line voltage transients,
typically originating from lightning strikes or switching of high power equipment on the same supply.
Type MC continuous corrugated aluminium armor cable with symmetrical grounds or shielded power cable is recommended for the motor
cables if metallic conduit is not used.
WARNING! EMC filters should not be used when there is a risk that the phase to earth voltage could exceed the phase to
phase voltage, Typically IT (ungrounded) and corner-grounded TN systems, otherwise this may cause danger or damage to
the EMC filter.

5.4. Drive & Motor Connections
For 1 phase supply, power should be connected to L1/L, L2/N. For 3 phase supplies power should be connected to L1, L2, L3. Phase sequence
is not important. The Motor should be connected to U, V, W
For drives that have a dynamic brake transistor an optional external braking resistor will need be connected to +DC and BR when required.
The brake resistor circuit should be protected by a suitable thermal protection circuit. The “–DC”, “+” and “BR” connections are blanked off by
plastic tabs when sent from the factory. The plastic tabs can be removed if/when required.

Parameters in the Long parameter mode
Index Name/Selection Description Def
2102 STOP MODE Selects the motor stop function 0 : RAMP
TO STOP
0 : RAMP TO STOP When the enable signal is removed, the drive will ramp to stop, with the rate controlled by
parameter 2203 DECEL RAMP TIME as described above. If the mains supply is lost, the drive
will try to continue running by reducing the speed of the load, and using the load as a
generator.
1 : COAST TO STOP When the enable signal is removed, or if the mains supply is lost, the motor will coast
(freewheel) to stop
2 : RAMP TO STOP When the enable signal is removed, the drive will ramp to stop, with the rate controlled by
parameter 2203 DECELERATION RAMP TIME. If the mains supply is lost the drive will ramp to
stop using parameter 2206 2nd DECELERATION RAMP TIME (FAST STOP) (decel ramp with
dynamic brake control).
3 : COAST TO STOP When the enable signal is removed, the drive output is immediately disabled, and the motor
will coast (freewheel) to stop. If the load can continue to rotate due to inertia, and the
drive may possibly be re-enabled while the motor is still rotating, the spin start function
(Parameter 2101 SPIN START ENABLE) should be enabled. The drive brake chopper is enabled
in this mode, however it will only activate when required during a change in the drive
frequency setpoint, and will not activate when stopping.
2104 DC INJECTION TIME ON Defines the time for which a DC current is injected into the motor once the output frequency 0.0
STOP reaches 0.0Hz. The voltage level is the same as the boost level set in parameter 2603.
0.0…25.0 s
2108 TERMINAL MODE RESTART Defines the behavior of the drive relating to the enable digital input and also configures the
FUNCTION Automatic Restart function.
Following Power on or reset, the drive will not start if Digital Input 1 remains closed. The
Input must be closed after a power on or reset to start the drive.
Following a Power On or Reset, the drive will automatically start if Digital Input 1 is closed.
to Following a trip, the drive will make up to 5 attempts to restart at 20 second intervals. The
drive must be powered down to reset the counter. The numbers of restart attempts are
counted, and if the drive fails to start on the final attempt, the drive will fault and will require
the user to manually reset the fault.

BOOST to improve low speed and starting torque. Excessive voltage boost levels may result in increased
motor current and temperature, and force ventilation of the motor may be required.

By using parameters parameter 2610 and 2611, the voltage to be applied at a particular
frequency can be directly set by the user, thereby altering the V/F characteristic.
Reducing the voltage at a particular frequency reduces the current in the motor and
2610 hence the torque and power, hence this function can be used in fan and pump
applications where a variable torque output is desired by setting the parameters as
follows :-
Parameter 2610 = 9905 / 4
2611 9907
Parameter 2611 = 9907 / 2
This function can also be useful if motor instability is experienced at certain
Frequency frequencies, if this is the case increase or decrease the voltage (Parameter 2610) at the
speed of instability (Parameter 2611).
For applications requiring energy saving, typically HVAC and pumping, the energy
optimizer (Parameter 2601) parameter can be enabled. This automatically reduces the
applied motor voltage on light load.

11. Modbus RTU Communications
11.1. Introduction
The ACS255 can be connected to a Modbus RTU network via the RJ45 connector on the front of the drive.
All user configurable parameters are accessible as Holding Registers, and can be Read from or Written to using the appropriate Modbus
command. To access drive parameters refer to section 11.6 for parameter register map.
Depending on the operating mode of the drive – some parameters cannot be changed whilst the drive is enabled for example.
Modbus RTU supports sixteen bit integer values, hence where a decimal point is used in the drive parameter; the register value will be
multiplied by a factor of ten, E.g. Read Value of parameter 2008 MAXIMUM FREQUENCY / SPEED LIMIT = 500, therefore this is 50.0Hz

11.6. Modbus Parameter Register Map
For UL compliance: the average ambient temperature over a 24 hour period for 200-240V, 3HP (IP20) drives is 45°C.
NOTE
Also Refer to section 12.5 for Output current Derating Information.
Cable sizes shown are the maximum possible that may be connected to the drive. Cables should be selected according to
local wiring codes or regulations at the point of installation
The rated fuse currents given in the table are the maximums for the mentioned fuse types. If smaller fuse ratings are used, check that the fuse
rms current rating is larger than the nominal input current. If 150% output power is needed, multiply nominal input current by 1.5.
Check that the operating time of the fuse is below 0.5 seconds. The operating time depends on the fuse type, the supply network impedance
as well as the cross-sectional area, material and length of the supply cable. In case the 0.5 seconds operating time is exceeded with the gG or T
fuses, ultra rapid (aR) fuses in most cases reduce the operating time to an acceptable level.
Note: Larger fuses must not be used when the input power cable is selected according to this table.

12.3. Overload
The ACS255 can deliver 150% of the drive nominal output current for 60 seconds and 175% for 2 seconds.
The following derating factors should be applied when operating drives outside of these conditions.
A 5Hp, 400V/460V IP66 drive is to be used at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level, with 12kHz switching frequency and 45°C ambient
temperature.
From the table above, we can see that the rated current of the drive is 9.5 Amps at 40°C,
Now, apply the derating for higher ambient temperature, 2.5% per °C above 40°C = 5 x 2.5% = 12.5%
7.1 Amps x 87.5% = 6.2 Amps
Now apply the derating for altitude above 1000 meters, 1% per 100m above 1000m = 10 x 1% = 10%
7.9 Amps x 90% = 5.5 Amps continuous current available.
If the required motor current exceeds this level, it will be necessary to either
- Reduce the switching frequency selected
- Use a higher power rated drive and repeat the calculation to ensure sufficient output current is available.
o The incoming supply impedance is low or the fault level / short circuit current is high.
o If the transformer kVA rating is more than 10x the kVA rating of the drive or ensure that the per drive source
Impedance is less than 0.5%.
o The supply is prone to dips or brown outs.
o An imbalance exists on the supply (3 phase drives).
o The power supply to the drive is via a busbar and brush gear system (typically overhead Cranes).
o Reduction in Harmonics generated by the drive.
In all other installations, it is good practice to install a line reactor as added protection of the drive against power supply faults.
The continuous current rating should be at least the value of the drives input current rating, with a peak current rating of at least 2 times the
continuous current rating.

13.Appendix: Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs)
With PMSMs special attention must be paid on setting the motor nominal values correctly in parameter group 99 START-UP DATA. It is
important that the nominal back-emf of the motor is available, further to ensure good performance a MOTOR PARAMETER AUTO-TUNE
(9910=1) must be performed.
The following table lists the basic parameter settings needed for permanent magnet synchronous motors.
Note: Incorrect value can result in abnormal motor operation (motor vibration)
