Controlling the external connections of the inverter

8.4.1

Function of the control cable terminals

Figure 8-13
The purpose of the control cable terminals is to allow the connection of control cables for
exchanging signals.
For more detailed information about the function of control cable terminals, refer to section
"Standard mode settings" (Page 87). The function of the control cable terminals, with the
exception of input ‑X2:8 for hardware shutdown, is dependent on the parameterization.
8.4.2

Protective separation according to EN 61800-5-1

High voltages
If you connect up peripheral devices which do not conform to this insulation concept,
equipment damage might occur as a result of inadequate insulation. This can result in death,
serious injury or material damage.
Connect devices and cables to the control cable terminals only if they conform to the relevant
voltage class (DVC) described in this section.
Control and power circuits have protective separation between them according to
EN 61800‑5‑1. The following graphics show the principle structure:
