User Defined I/O - Drive Functions

The drive has multiple different functions that can assigned to the input terminals.

When using Macro 0 these functions can be assigned to any compatible input.

This Topic details the different functions and the inputs they can be assigned to.

User Defined I/O - Monitoring Functions

Group 12 has multiple different monitoring functions that can be used to provide feedback to the drive about the overall system health that can be used disable the drive if the input are in the incorrect states these include:

  • E-Trip (Mode 1 - 3)

  • Motor Thermistor

  • Motor Contactor Feedback Monitoring

  • Brake Release Monitoring

Each function is detailed in the table below.

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

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

22: E-Trip Mode 3

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

User Defined I/O - 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).

However when using the User Defined Macros (P1-02 = 0) then you can assign this function to any Digital Input.

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

User Defined I/O - Fault Reset

A Digital Input can be used as a dedicated fault reset so when that Digital Input is toggled if the fault conditions have been fixed the fault will be cleared from the drive.

Fault Reset

Can be used to clear a fault code on the drive.

To clear the fault make sure the conditions to clear the fault have been met and the toggle the Digital Input's state.

User Defined I/O - 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.
