IMPULSE•T Wiring Practices WA R N I N G Before you wire the drive, review the following practices to help ensure that your system is wired properly. • Connect the incoming three-phase AC source to terminals R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3. •...
Page 24
• To reverse the direction of rotation, interchange any two motor leads (U/T1, V/T2, or W/T3). Changing R/L1, S/L2, or T/L3 will not affect the shaft rotation direction or change parameter B3- • Use shielded cable for all low-level DC speed reference signals (0 to 10 VDC, 4 to 20 mA). Ground the shield only at the drive side.

Parameters Parameters are organized by function group, which will determine how the drive functions. These parameters are programmed in the drive’s software as measurable values or options—both of which will be referred to in this manual as settings. While some of these parameters are associated with one setting, others are tied to a number of possible settings.

Parameter Modes All parameters are organized under three modes: Operation Mode Drive operation is enabled. Drive status LED lights. Programming Mode Access to parameters, control method, motion, speed control mode, and passwords are selected. Parameters are set/read. Verify Constants Mode Only parameters that have been changed from the factory default settings are shown here.
Initialization Set-up Parameter Access Level (A1-01) This parameter controls the level of access for all the parameters in the drive. Using this parameter controls the “masking” of parameters according to the access level selected. There are two access levels available - ADVANCED and OPERATION ONLY. When the access level is set to ADVANCED (A1-01 = 0002), it will allow access to all parameters outlined in this manual.
Speed Reference Selection (A1-04) This parameter will automatically define the input terminals for the selections listed below. See Table 4-8 (X-Press Programming) for details. Table 4-6: Speed Reference Settings Setting Description 2-Speed Multi-Step 3-Speed Multi-Step 5-Speed Multi-Step 2-Step Infinitely Variable Uni-Polar Analog Initialize Parameters (A1-05) Use this parameter to reset the drive to user-specified initial values or clear an oPE04 fault.

Tuning These parameters help tune the motor for your application, which includes S-Curve characteristics for smoother transition during machine acceleration and deceleration. Below are the parameters included in this section. • D1 DC Injection • D9 S-Curve Acceleration/Deceleration DC Injection DC Injection can be used to stop a motor whose rotational direction is uncertain at start-up.
S-Curve Acceleration/Deceleration An S-Curve pattern is used to reduce shock and provide smooth transitions during motor acceleration and deceleration. S-Curve characteristic time is the time from the output frequency to the set accel/decel time. See S-Curve Characteristic timing diagrams below and on the following page.

Terminal Parameters There are both digital and analog inputs and outputs that can be programmed for customized operation and sequencing. These include input and output terminal selection along with serial communication. Listed below are the parameters in this section that are customizable for your system.
External Fault Response Selection It is sometimes desirable to have at least one external fault input to the drive. To properly program a multi-function input (H1-01 to H1-05), an external fault response must be selected. The table below shows the possible selections for an external fault response. Table 5-17:External Fault Response Selection External Fault Selection Input Level...
Digital Output The IMPULSE•T has one multi-function control output (one relay) for indicating various conditions. The following table lists the function selections for the multi-function contact outputs.

Protection Parameters The IMPULSE•T has the ability to protect both the drive’s hardware and motor by allowing various means to detect and take corrective action when a condition occurs. These include motor overload detection, torque detection, the ability to perform a self-diagnostic check, and then resume operation after a fault is cleared.

The stall prevention/current limit level during acceleration is set as a percentage of inverter rated current. During acceleration, if the output current exceeds this current limit level (L3-02), acceleration stops and frequency is maintained. When the output current decreases below this current level (L3-02), acceleration resumes.
Hardware Protection The IMPULSE•T comes equipped with a number of built-in functions designed to protect the inverter and its components from damage.

Troubleshooting the Drive In this troubleshooting section, “check” means investigating whether an item is functioning and in an acceptable physical condition, and then taking corrective action (adjusting, fixing, replacing, etc.) as necessary. In the Corrective Action column, you may not have to perform all of the steps to correct the problem.
Symptom Corrective Action Motor rotation is in the wrong direction. 1. Verify FWD/REV or UP/DN is wired correctly at the interface card. 2. Switch any two leads on U/T1, V/T2, or W/T3 going to the motor. 3. Check parameter B3-04. Motor rotates, but at minimum speed 1.
