Chapter 3 Installing the Drive This chapter provides information that must be considered when planning a VS1MX drive installation and provides drive mounting information and installation site requirements. 3.1 Receiving & Inspection When you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately.
3.4 Cover Removal To connect power and signal wires, the cover must be removed as shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Cover Removal Press in (cover release) then lift cover to remove. Remove 2 screws then left the white cover to remove. Figure 3-2 NEMA 12 / IP55 Mounting Hole Locations START STOP...

Chapter 4 Power Wiring 4.1 Overview of Power Connections The recommended grounding method is shown in Figure 4-1. 4.1.1 Safety Ground - (G) This is the safety ground for the drive that is required by code. One of these points must be connected to adjacent building steel (girder, joist), a floor ground rod, or bus bar.
4.3 Protective Devices Recommended fuse sizes are based on the following: 115% of maximum continuous current for time delay. 150% of maximum continuous current for Fast or Very Fast action. Note: These recommendations do not consider harmonic currents or ambient temperatures greater than 45°C. Be sure a suitable input power protection device is installed.
Short cable runs are usually trouble free but fault-monitoring circuitry can produce numerous faults when long cables are used. Refer to Table 4-1 for maximum cable lengths. Baldor recommends adding an optional load reactor to the output of the control. The load reactor and/or common mode choke should be placed in close physical proximity to the control.
Baldor District representative. Baldor is always glad to assist. 4.4.7 M-Contactor Connections If required by local codes or for safety reasons, an M-Contactor (motor circuit contactor) may be installed.
Chapter 5 Control Wiring 5.1 Control Board Connections Analog and Digital input and output connections are made at the Control Wiring Terminals shown in Figure 5-1. Control wire connections can be made using shielded twisted pair #18 AWG (0.8mm2) wire minimum. The cable must also have an overall shield and not exceed 100 feet (30m) in length.
5.5 Terminal Control When delivered, the VS1MX is set to operate in terminal control mode and all parameters (P-xx) have the default values as indicated in Chapter 7 Parameters. Connect the motor to the drive, checking star/delta connection for the voltage rating.
UP & DOWN arrow keys to adjust as required then press the STOP key to return the display to . 10. Pressing the START key will start the drive accelerating to the target speed. Setting P-07=2 allows the VS1MX to be controlled in a forward and reverse direction from the keypad.

Chapter 6 Using the Keypad 6.1 Keypad Components This chapter provides an overview of the integrated keypad and how to use it to program the VS1MX drive. The controls are shown in Table 6-1. Table 6-1 Operator Interface Description Name Description 6 Digit seven segment display.
PROG 6.2.2 RPM Display Setting P-04 to a value other than zero will set units for the VS1MX in RPM. This will enable a third display screen in operational mode to show the RPM units set in parameter P-04. Figure 6-2 RPM Display...
6.2.3 Custom Display Unit Parameter P-23 is used to configure the display and show custom units based on the scale factor assigned. When a value other than zero is assigned to P-23, a new display is enabled in operational mode. If P-04=0, P-23 will scale units in Hertz, and if P-04 is not zero, P-23 will scale the RPM units set by P-04 (see display examples set below): Figure 6-3 Custom Display P-04 = 0, P-23=2.0...
6.3 Using the REV/0/FWD Selector Switch (Switched version only) By adjusting the parameter settings the VS1MX can be configured for multiple applications and not just for Forward or Reverse. This could typically be for Hand/Off/Auto applications (also known as Local/Remote) for HVAC and pumping industries.
Chapter 7 Parameter Descriptions 7.1 Overview Parameters P00 through P-45 are presented in this Chapter and each setting is explained. Selecting P00 and pressing ENT/PROG accesses a read-only menu to monitor internal drive values.

Preset: 0 0: Disabled 1: Enabled The VS1MX drive provides electronic thermal overload protection for the connected motor, designed to protect the motor against damage. An internal overload accumulator monitors the motor output current over time, and will trip the drive if the usage exceeds the thermal limit. When P-46 is disabled, removing the power supply from the drive and re-applying will reset the value of the accumulator.

C.1 CE Declaration of Conformity Baldor indicates that the products are only components and not ready for immediate or instant use within the meaning of “Safety law of appliance”, “EMC Law” or “Machine directive”. The final mode of operation is defined only after installation into the user’s equipment.
3. The responsibility of CE mark compliance rests entirely with the party who offers the end system for sale (such as an OEM or system integrator). Baldor products which meet the EMC directive requirements are indicated with a “CE” mark. A signed CE declaration of conformity is provided in this section.
CONTROLLER (Exception: Analog Command Signal). GROUNDING (EARTH) For safety reasons (VDE0160), all Baldor components must be connected to ground with a separate wire. The diameter of the wire must be at minimum AWG#6 (10mm Ground connections (dashed lines) must be made from the central ground to the regen resistor enclosure and from the central ground to the Shared Power Supply.
Page 56
A) All metal conducting parts of the enclosure must be electrically connected to the back plane. These connections should be made with a grounding strap from each element to a central grounding point. [1] B) Keep the power wiring (motor and power cable) and control wiring separated. If these wires must cross, be sure they cross at 90 degrees to minimize noise due to induction.
Appendix D Options and Kits D.1 Remote Keypad Option The VS1MX Remote Keypad can be panel mounted for remote control or display of the drive. The remote keypad comes with a standard 3.0 meter cable. Table D-1 Remote Keypad Catalog Number...

VS1MX Dynamic Braking Resistors VS1MX Frame B and C drives include built-in braking transistors to aid in applications requiring the ability to stop rapidly. The brake resistor must be mounted and secured in place. Two wires connect to the + and BR terminals on the power strip of the size B or the larger enclosure.
The VS1MX AC Drive is supplied with imbedded RS-485 communications that supports the Modbus-R TU protocol. This allows the user to set up a multi-drop communications network between multiple VS1MX drives and a PLC or host computer without the requirement of option boards for the drives. This is a master-slave architecture where the master (e.g. PLC) can monitor and control multiple VS1MX drives on the same network with other Modbus-RTU slaves.
1. Connect the RS485 communication line to RJ45 connector, (see Figure E-1). 2. Check the connections and turn ON the inverter. 3. Table E-1 documents the parameters within the VS1MX that are related to communications: Table E-1 Communication Parameters Number...
