DC bus design

4.4.1 DC bus design
Parallel connections
The power limit of the rectifier must be adhered to for all combinations of
drives in parallel. In addition to this If the total rated bus power required
exceeds the capability of 1 x Digitax ST rectifier then two or more Digitax
ST's can be connected with the AC & DC in parallel. If the AC supply is
connected to more than one drive in a parallel DC bus application,
balancing of the current in the input stage of each drive must be
considered.
Using DC bus chokes makes the current in the rectifier diodes of each
drive the same, so providing a solution to sharing.
There are many possible combinations for paralleling drives through the
DC bus connections. Table 4-3 gives details of the internal capacitance
for each drive and the additional capacitance which can be powered
from the drive. The capacitance must incorporate its own soft-start
circuit. All Digitax ST drives incorporate this feature.

DC drive voltage levels

4.5.1 Low voltage DC operation
The drive can be operated from low voltage DC supplies, nominally 24
Vdc (control) and 48 Vdc (power). The low voltage DC power operating
mode is designed either, to allow for motor operation in an emergency
back-up situation following failure of the AC supply, for example in
robotic arm applications; or to limit the speed of a servo motor during
set-up of equipment, for example a robot cell.
With low voltage DC operation there is a reduction in the
level of safety of the Safe Torque Off function. There
exist certain unlikely faults which might permit the drive to
produce some limited motor torque, if the DC supply has its
WARNING
negative terminal connected to ground.
See section 4.17 Safe Torque Off on page 42 for methods
on preventing a loss of the safety function under these
conditions.
The working voltage range of the low voltage DC power supply is shown
in Table 4-4.

* These are the absolute minimum DC voltages that the drive is capable
of operating from. If the drive is not supplied with the minimum voltage, it
will not reset following a UV trip at power-up.
4.5.3 Control 24 Vdc supply
The 24 Vdc input has three main functions:
• It can be used as a back-up power supply to keep the control circuits
of the drive powered up when the line power supply is removed. This
allows any fieldbus modules or serial communications to continue to
operate.
• It can be used to supplement the drive's own internal 24 V when
multiple SM-I/O Plus modules are being used and the current drawn
by these modules is greater than the drive can supply. (If too much
current is drawn from the drive, the drive will initiate a 'PS.24V' trip)
• It can be used to commission the drive when line power supply
voltages are not available, as the display operates correctly.
However, the drive will be in the UV trip state unless either line
power supply is reapplied or low voltage DC operation is enabled,
therefore diagnostics may not be possible. (Power down save
parameters are not saved when using the 24 V back-up power
supply input.)
The working voltage range of the 24 V power supply is shown in Table 4-6.
