Control Terminal Functions - Monitoring

When using the drives pre-defined Macros there are multiple different functions that the terminals use. Which are listed in the Macro table.

The following functions can be used to monitor external inputs:

  • E-Trip (Mode 1 - 3)

  • Motor Thermistor

  • Motor Contactor Feedback Monitoring

  • Brake Release Monitoring

Function

Function Description

Available Terminals

E-Trip Mode 1

E-Trip Mode 1 by default is used as an E-Trip and can be assigned to any Digital Input. So when the input is opened the drive will trip and display the fault code E-Trip and while closed will not trip and run normally. The two states are shown below:

Open = Drive will trip and show E-Trip

Closed = Ok

In addition when using Mode 1 two additional functions can be assigned:

  • Thermistor Monitoring

  • Motor Contactor Feedback

Both of these functions are disabled by default and must be activated via parameters.

When either of the functions are active the E-trip trip will not appear and will be replaced with either functions respective trip if the trip conditions are met.

Note

For more information on either of the two functions see their associated topics:

All Digital Inputs for E-trip and Motor Contactor Feedback

Note

Thermistor Monitoring can only be assigned to an Analog Input.

E-Trip Mode 2

E-Trip Mode 2 by default is used as an E-Trip and can be assigned to any Digital Input. So when the input is opened the drive will trip and display the fault code E-Trip and while closed will not trip and run normally. The two states are shown below:

Open = Drive will trip and show E-Trip

Closed = Ok

In addition when using Mode 2 one additional function can be assigned:

  • Motor Contactor Feedback

This function is disabled by default and must be activated via parameters.

Note

For more information on either of the function see it's associated topics:

All Digital Inputs

E-Trip Mode 3

E-Trip Mode 3 by default is used as an E-Trip and can be assigned to any Digital Input. So when the input is opened the drive will trip and display the fault code E-Trip and while closed will not trip and run normally. The two states are shown below:

Open = Drive will trip and show E-Trip

Closed = Ok

In addition when using Mode 3 one additional function can be assigned:

  • Thermistor Monitoring

This function is disabled by default and must be activated via parameters.

Note

For more information on either of the two functions see their associated topics:

All Digital Inputs for E-Trip

Note

Thermistor Monitoring can only be assigned to an Analog Input.

Brake Release Monitoring Input 1 & 2

Up to two different Digital Inputs can be assigned the brake release monitoring function when using Macro 0. If a singular input is used as brake release monitoring only set one function to use.

To activate the Brake Release Monitoring inputs parameters P5-04 must be set to 2 and P5-05 & P5-06 must bet set to the desired time & attempts respectively. If P5-04 is not set to 2 the Brake Release Monitoring Inputs will have no effect.

If you are using either two brake release monitoring inputs both inputs must be in the correct state for the drive not to trip where as if you are only using one input only that input must be in the correct state.

Note

For full details on the brake release monitoring function see the Topic Motor Brake Monitoring

All Digital Inputs

Control Terminal Functions - Rescue Mode

To activate and deactivate Rescue Mode is done via the switching of a Digital Input (Open = Mains Mode and Closed = Rescue Mode). Using the standard Macros (P1-02 = 1 - 12), this function is assigned to either Digital Input 3 (P1-02 = 9 & 11) or Digital Input 8 (P1-02 = 1 - 8 & 10 & 12).

If the drive is running it will continue running until the next stop then if the Digital Input using the Rescue Mode function is still closed the drive will then swicth into Rescue Mode.

Function

Function Description

Available Terminals

Rescue Mode

The state of the Digital Input assigned this function dictates what supply type the drive currently uses.

  • Open = Mains Mode

  • Closed = Rescue Mode

Note

To view what mode the drive is in use parameter P7-15.

Where P7-15 = 0 is Mains Mode & P7-15 = 1 is Rescue Mode

All Digital Inputs

Control Terminal Functions - Torque Sensor

A torque sensor can be used to provide torque feedback to the drive which can be used to optimise the start so the correct amount of torque is pre-loaded into the drive.
