AC-4000. This menu outputs the alphabet on the selected serial channel. If the AC-4000 receives the same data back as it sends out, the menu indicates "PASS". Your device probably will not send back the data, so the menu will indicate "FAIL".
RS-485 The connections in Figure 6-3 show the typical connections to hook up the RS485 to your external device. The cabling shown includes a converter that changes the output back to RS-232 before entering your device. If your device has RS-485 capability built in, the converter can be removed and your device hooked directly to connector P2.
6.2.3 Interconnect Information A 14-pin connector, Amphenol MS3106A-20-27P, is used to hook up an external communications device to the controller. A shielded cable should be used and the shield should be tied to the controller only. The connections are defined in Table 6-3.
This optional software package allows storing of setup parameters and information for up to 15 different products. This information is stored in memory and using the Product menu, the AC-4000 can be switched over from one product to another in a matter of seconds.
MOTOR INHIBIT This option is used when an external motor inhibit signal is desired. A closed contact across TB8-1 and 2 of the distribution board allows the motors to run. Motor inhibit is not an E-Stop. See the section on the inhibit input in the motor control manual. The motor controls minimum speed setting must be set properly or the motors may rotate at the minimum speed when the motor inhibit contact opens.

Installation Warning Do not install, rewire, or remove this control with input power applied. Doing so may cause fire or serious injury. Make sure you have read and understood the Safety Warnings before attempting installation. Chassis drives Mounting • Drive components are sensitive to electrostatic fields. Avoid contact with the circuit board directly.
Installation Wiring Warning Do not install, remove, or rewire this equipment with power applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion, or serious injury. Circuit potentials are at 115 or 230 VAC above ground. To prevent the risk of injury or fatality, avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board or with circuit elements.
Installation Shielding guidelines Warning Under no circumstances should power and logic leads be bundled together. Induced voltage can cause unpredictable behavior in any electronic device, including motor controls. As a general rule, Minarik recommends shielding of all conductors. If it is not practical to shield power conductors, Minarik recommends shielding all logic-level leads.
Installation Heat sinking Models MM23001 and MM23071 require an additional heat sink when the continuous armature current is above 5 ADC. Use Minarik part number 223-0159. All other chassis drives have sufficient heat sinking in their basic configurations. Use a thermally conductive heat sink compound (such as Dow Corning®...
Installation Quick-disconnect terminal block (C-Q drives only) The quick-disconnect terminal block, found only on C-Q drives, is composed of a 9-pin header block and 9-screw terminal plug (Figure 8). To use the quick-disconnect terminal block: 1. Carefully pull terminal plug from header block. 2.
Installation Speed adjust potentiometer Warning Be sure that the potentiometer tabs do not make contact with the potentiometer enclosure. Grounding the input will cause damage to the drive. Mount the speed adjust potentiometer through a 0.38 in. (10 mm) hole with the hardware provided (Figure 9). Install the circular insulating disk between the panel and the 10K ohm speed adjust potentiometer.
Installation Chassis drive connections Warning Do not connect this equipment with power applied. Failure to heed this directive may result in fire or serious injury. Minarik strongly recommends the installation of a master power switch in the voltage input line, as shown in Figure 10 (page 20).
Page 184
Installation Connect a DC motor to PCB terminals A1 and A2 as shown in Figure 11, page 21. Ensure that the motor voltage rating is consistent with the drive’s output voltage.

Installation Field output connections Warning The field output is for shunt wound motors only. Do not make any connections to F1 and F2 when using a permanent magnet motor. See Table 2 for field output connections. Use 18 AWG wire to connect the field output to a shunt wound motor.
Installation Voltage follower Instead of using a speed adjust potentiometer, the drive may be wired to follow an analog input voltage signal that is isolated from earth ground (Figure 12). Connect the signal input (+) to S2. Connect the signal common (–) to S1. Make no connection to S3. A potentiometer can be used to scale the analog input voltage.
Installation Cased drives Warning Do not install, rewire, or remove this control with input power applied. Doing so may cause fire or serious injury. Make sure you have read and understood the Safety Warnings before attempting installation. Mounting (NEMA 1 enclosures) NEMA 1 cased drives come with 0.88 inch (22 mm) conduit holes at the bottom of the case.
Installation Mounting (NEMA 12 enclosures) NEMA 12 cased drives come with two 0.88 inch (22 mm) conduit knockout holes at the bottom of the case. The units may be vertically wall mounted using the four 0.19 inch (5 mm) slotted holes on the attached heat sink. For motor loads less than 5 ADC, the drive may be bench mounted horizontally, or operated without mounting.
Installation Heat sinking Models MM23101 and MM23201 require additional heat sinking when the continuous armature current is above 5 ADC. Use Minarik part number 223-0174. All other cased drives have sufficient heat sinking in their basic configurations. Use a thermally ®...
Installation Connections Warning Do not connect this equipment with power applied. Failure to heed this directive may result in fire or serious injury. Minarik strongly recommends the installation of a master power switch in the voltage input line. The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum of 200% of motor nameplate current and 250 volts.
Installation Power input Connect the AC line power leads to TB501 terminals L1 and L2, or to a double-throw, single-pole master power switch (recommended). Field output connections Warning The field output is for shunt wound motors only. Do not make any connections to F1 and F2 when using a permanent magnet motor.
Installation Current limit LED (C models only) MM23000C series drives are equipped with a red current limit LED. The red current limit LED turns on whenever the drive reaches current limit and turns off whenever the drive is not in current limit (normal operation).
Installation MM23001C-Q, MM23071, and MM23072 diagnostic LEDs Models MM23001C-Q, MM23071, and MM23072 are equipped with two diagnostic LEDs: Power (PWR): Lights whenever the AC line voltage is applied to the drive. Current Limit (CURR LIMIT or CL): Lights whenever the drive reaches current limit.
Operation Warning Change voltage switch settings only when the drive is disconnected from AC line voltage. Make sure both switches are set to their correct position. If the switches are improperly set to a lower voltage position, the motor will not run at full voltage and may cause damage to the transformer.
Operation Voltage select switches Input voltage select (SW501) Set the voltage switch SW501 to either 115V or 230V to match the AC line voltage. See Figure 14. Armature voltage select (SW502) Set the voltage switch SW502 to either 90V or 180V to match the maximum armature voltage.
Operation Startup MM23001, MM23011, MM23071, and MM23072 1. Turn the speed adjust potentiometer full counterclockwise (CCW). 2. Apply AC line voltage. 3. Slowly advance the speed adjust potentiometer clockwise (CW). The motor slowly accelerates as the potentiometer is turned CW. Continue until the desired speed is reached.
Operation MM23201 and MM23211 Warning Do not change the FORWARD / REVERSE switch while the motor is running. The motor must come to a complete stop before reversing. Changing motor direction before allowing the motor to completely stop will cause excessively high current to flow in the armature circuit, and will damage the drive and/or motor.
Operation MM23501 Warning The motor must come to a complete stop before reversing. Changing motor direction before allowing the motor to completely stop will cause excessively high current to flow in the armature circuit, and will damage the drive and/or motor. 1.
Operation Starting and stopping methods Warning Decelerating to minimum speed, dynamic braking, or coasting to a stop is recommended for frequent starts and stops. Do not use any of these methods for emergency stopping. They may not stop a drive that is malfunctioning. Removing AC line power (both L1 and L2) is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping.
Operation Inhibit terminals Short the INHIBIT terminals to coast the motor to minimum speed (see Figure 15 for INHIBIT terminal location). Open the INHIBIT terminals to accelerate the motor to set speed. Twist inhibit wires and separate them from power-carrying wires or sources of electrical noise.
Operation Decelerating to minimum speed The switch shown in Figure 16 may be used to decelerate a motor to a minimum speed. Closing the switch between S1 and S2 decelerates the motor from set speed to a minimum speed determined by the MIN SPD trimpot setting. If the MIN SPD trimpot is set full CCW, the motor decelerates to zero speed when the switch between S1 and S2 is closed.
Operation Dynamic braking Warning For frequent starts and stops, short the inhibit terminals, decelerate to a minimum speed, or apply a dynamic brake to the motor. Do not use any of these methods for emergency stopping. They may not stop a drive that is malfunctioning. Removing AC line power (both L1 and L2) is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping.
Page 207
Operation Table 4. Minimum Recommended Dynamic Brake Resistor Values Motor Armature Dynamic Brake Voltage Resistor Value 90 VDC 15 ohms 180 VDC 30 ohms For motors rated horsepower and lower, a brake resistor is not necessary since the armature resistance is high enough to stop the motor without demagnetization.
Calibration Warning Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. When possible, disconnect the voltage input from the drive before adjusting the trimpots. If the trimpots must be adjusted with power applied, use insulated tools and the appropriate personal protection equipment.
Calibration MINIMUM SPEED (MIN SPD) The MIN SPD trimpot establishes the motor speed obtained in response to the minimum input signal. It is factory set for zero speed. To calibrate the MIN SPD pot, apply the minimum signal. Adjust the MIN SPD trimpot until the motor runs at the desired speed or is just at the threshold of rotation.
Page 210
Calibration TORQUE Warning TORQUE should be set to 150% of motor nameplate current rating. Continuous operation beyond this rating may damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating, contact your Minarik representative for assistance. The TORQUE setting determines the maximum torque for accelerating and driving the motor.
Calibration IR COMPENSATION (IR COMP) The IR COMP trimpot setting determines the degree to which motor speed is held constant as the motor load changes. It is factory set for optimum motor regulation. Use the following procedure to recalibrate the IR COMP setting: 1.
Page 212
Calibration Figure 19. Recommended Torque and IR COMP Settings (actual settings may vary with each application)
Calibration ACCELERATION (ACCEL) The ACCEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a higher speed. See Specifications on page 1 for approximate acceleration times. ACCEL is factory set for the fastest acceleration time (full CCW). To set the acceleration time: 1.
Calibration DECELERATION (DECEL) The DECEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a lower speed. See Specifications on page 1 for approximate deceleration times. DECEL is factory set for the fastest deceleration time (full CCW). To set the deceleration time: 1.
Application Notes Multiple fixed speeds Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with series resistors with a total series resistance of 10K ohms (Figure 19). Add a single pole, multi-position switch with the correct number of positions for the desired number of fixed speeds. Figure 20.
Application Notes Adjustable speeds using potentiometers in series Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a single pole, multi-position switch, and two or more potentiometers in series, with a total series resistance of 10K ohms. Figure 20 shows a connection for fixed high and low speed adjust potentiometers. Figure 21.
Application Notes Independent adjustable speeds Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a single pole, multi- position switch, and two or more potentiometers in parallel, with a total parallel resistance of 10K ohms. Figure 21 shows the connection of two independent speed adjust potentiometers that can be mounted at two separate operating stations.
Application Notes RUN/JOG switch RUN/JOG switch option #1 Using a RUN/JOG switch is recommended in applications where quick stopping is not needed and frequent jogging is required. Use a single pole, two position switch for the RUN/JOG switch, and a single pole, normally closed, momentary operated pushbutton for the JOG pushbutton.
Application Notes RUN/JOG switch option #2 In the second wiring option, connect the RUN/JOG switch and the JOG pushbutton as shown in the Figure 23. When the RUN/JOG switch is set to JOG, the motor decelerates to minimum speed (minimum speed is determined by the MIN SPD trimpot setting). Press the JOG pushbutton to jog the motor.
Application Notes Leader-follower application In this application, use a PCM4 to monitor the speed of the leader motor (Figure 24). The PCM4 isolates the leader motor from the follower drive, and outputs a voltage proportional to the leader motor armature voltage. The follower drive uses this voltage reference to set the speed of the follower motor.
Page 221
Application Notes Single speed potentiometer control of multiple drives Multiple drives can be controlled with a single speed adjust potentiometer using a PCM4 at the input of each drive to provide isolation (Figure 25). Optional ratio potentiometers can be used to scale the PCM4 output voltage, allowing independent control of each drive.
Application Notes Reversing A dynamic brake may be used when reversing the motor direction (Figure 26). Use a three pole, three position switch rated for at least the maximum DC armature voltage and maximum braking current. Wait for the motor to stop completely before switching it to either the forward or reverse direction.
Application Notes Reversing with a DIGI-LOK controller A DIGI-LOK controller, model DLC600, can be used in a reversing application. The DIGI-LOK must be inhibited while braking. Without the inhibit feature, the DIGI-LOK will continue to regulate. This will cause overshoot when the DIGI-LOK is switched back to the drive. Figure 27 shows the connection of the reversing circuit to a MM23000 series drive and to a DLC600.
Troubleshooting Warning Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. When possible, disconnect the drive while troubleshooting. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. Before troubleshooting Perform the following steps before starting any procedure in this section: 1.
