  • Page 7: Product Notice

    Product Notice Intended use: These drives are intended for use in stationary ground based applications in industrial power installations according to the standards EN60204 and VDE0160. They are designed for machine applications that require variable speed controlled three phase brushless AC motors. These drives are not intended for use in applications such as: Home appliances Medical instrumentation...
  • Page 8 PRECAUTIONS: WARNING: Do not touch any circuit board, power device or electrical connection before you first ensure that power has been disconnected and there is no high voltage present from this equipment or other equipment to which it is connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
  • Page 9 AC power to these terminals may result in damage to the control. Caution: Baldor recommends not using “Grounded Leg Delta” transformer power leads that may create ground loops and degrade system performance. Instead, we recommend using a four wire Wye.

  • Page 12: Receiving And Installation

    Section 3 Receiving and Installation Receiving & Inspection Baldor Controls are thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment. When you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.
  • Page 13: Electrical Installation

    Connectors are to be installed using crimp tool specified by the manufacturer of the connector. Only class 1 wiring should be used. System Grounding Baldor controls are designed to be powered from standard single and three phase lines that are electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. System grounding is an important step in the overall installation to prevent problems.

    AC power that is symmetrical with respect to ground. Input Power Conditioning Baldor controls are designed for direct connection to standard single and three phase lines that are electrically symmetrical with respect to ground. Certain power line conditions must be avoided. An AC line reactor or an isolation transformer may be required for some power conditions.

    Appendix B Command Set Flex - - ASCII - - Command - - Set General Flex controls use the RS232 communication port (optional RS485) as the Interface. This document describes existing FlexDrive/Flex+Drive ASCII terminal commands for setup and control of the servo drive. There are three types of ASCII commands: Parameters.
  • Page 93 Upon receiving a command, the controller answers by sending the function parameter and variable list. General purpose commands are not prefixed. These commands only consist of the command identifier and therefore need the general structure “Command Identifier” [“Delimiter”]“Parameter list” [CR] With the non--prefixed commands, no delimiter is mandatory, but the blank space can be inserted optional.
