    4. Connections This chapter provides information on connecting power and control wiring to the Vacon 50X AC drive. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE • Read and understand this manual in its entirety before in- stalling or operating the Vacon 50X AC drive. Installation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance of these drives must be performed by qualified personnel.

  • Page 25: Considerations For Control Wiring

    460 V 22 kW models require 90 °C wire to meet UL requirements. See Chapter 2 for the continuous output ratings for the drive. Grounding must be in accordance with VDE, NEC and CEC. If multiple Vacon 50X drives are installed near each other, each must be connected to ground. A central earthing point should be used for interference suppression (e.g.

  • Page 26: Input Line Requirements

    4.2.3 Line Capacity If the source of AC power to the Vacon 50X drive is greater than 10 times the kVA rating shown in Table 6, an isolation transformer or line reactor is recommended. Consult VACON for assistance in sizing the re- actor.

  • Page 27: Single-Phase Operation

    The output of the device will always be three-phase. The safe derating of the Vacon 50X series of drives is 50% of the nominal current (hp) rating. Consult the factory with the particular application details for exact derating by model.

    4.6 Reducing Current Surges and Voltage Transients Inrush currents to coils of magnetic contactors, relays, and solenoids associated with or near the drive can induce high current spikes in the power and control wiring, causing faulty operation. If this occurs, a snubber network consisting of a series resistor and capacitor for AC loads, or a freewheeling or flyback diode for DC loads, can be placed across the relay coil to prevent this condition.

    5. Keypad Operation and Programming 5.1 Introduction The Vacon 50X AC drive is pre-programmed to run a standard, 4-pole AC induction motor. For many ap- plications, the drive is ready for use right out of the box with no additional programming needed. The dig- ital keypad controls all operations of the unit.

  • Page 41: Keypad Operation

    5.2 Keypad Operation Parameter 201, Input Mode (see page 62), determines whether the Vacon 50X AC drive accepts its Run/ Stop and speed commands from the digital keypad or from the input terminals. Table 12 describes the function of the keys in Operation mode.

  • Page 93: Using The Vacon 50X Program Sequencer

    7.4 Using the Vacon 50X Program Sequencer The Vacon 50X AC drive offers functionality that allows users to program up to nine independent operation states of the drive. This functionality is called the “program sequencer” because it allows the drive to se- quence through the operation states programmed by the user.

  • Page 94: Sequencer State Configuration Overview

    Vacon 50X Sequencer Dwell Functionality The Vacon 50X sequencer has the capability to dwell, or pause, in a state and disregard any command to advance to the next state. This can be done in two different ways, and both methods can be used at the same time.
  • Page 95 111 - Max Frequency Vacon 50X Sequencer Speed Selection Table 5 gives more information on the speed selection options available in the Vacon 50X sequencer by programming bits 0, 1, and 2 of each state’s control parameter. The options include any Preset Speed, MaxFrequency, or allowing the reference to be determined in the normal Vacon 50X control path.
  • Page 96 Sequencer Output Configuration The Vacon 50X Program Sequencer allows digital outputs to be activated during states of the sequencer. This function could be used to activate other devices in a system or to signal to an operator when a part of the sequence is active.

    When the sequencer is enabled, the control path indication field on the keypad will indicate SQx, where x represents the active state of the sequencer. A sample operate screen (where the sequencer is in state 1) is shown below: 24-hour support +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...

    10. Fundamentals of PI Control 10.1 Introduction The Vacon 50X AC drive has a built-in PI (Proportional-Integral) Controller that makes it possible to con- trol a process by adjusting motor speed using a reference input and a feedback input. When the drive is configured to operate with feedback from a transducer, the Vacon 50X AC drive essentially ceases to be a frequency controller and instead becomes a process controller.
