  • Page 28 4. CONNECTIONS HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE • Read and understand this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the Vacon 500x AC drive. Installation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance of these drives must be performed by qualified personnel. • Disconnect all power before servicing the drive. WAIT 5 MINUTES until the DC bus capacitors discharge.
  • Page 29 4. Grounding must be in accordance with NEC and CEC. If multiple Vacon 500x drives are installed near each other, each must be connected to ground. Take care not to form a ground loop.
  • Page 30 Therefore, ensure that the voltage rating of the motor matches the applied line voltage. 4.3.2 Line Capacity If the source of AC power to the Vacon 500x AC drive is greater than 10 times the kVA rating shown in Table below, an isolation transformer or line reactor is recommended.
  • Page 31 4.3.6 Motor Lead Length VACON Plc recommends that the total lead length should not exceed the motor manufacturer’s guidelines. Line disturbance and noise can be present in motor wiring of any distance. As a rule of thumb, any non- inverter duty motor should have a reactor or filter added when the motor lead length exceeds 150 feet.

  • Page 99 7.4 Using the Vacon 500x Program Sequencer The Vacon 500x AC drive offers functionality that allows users to program up to 25 independent operation states of the drive. This functionality is called the “program sequencer” because it allows the drive to sequence through the operation states programmed by the user.
  • Page 100 Keypad Control (Activation) of the Vacon 500x Program Sequencer When activating or controlling the Vacon 500x Program Sequencer from the keypad, pressing the FWD key commands the drive to cycle through the programmed states of the sequencer one time only (one-shot operation).
  • Page 101 Vacon 500x Sequencer Dwell Functionality The Vacon 500x sequencer can 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 102 Vacon 500x Sequencer Speed Selection Table 4 gives more information on the speed selection options available in the Vacon 500x sequencer by programming bits 0, 1, 2, and 3 of each state’s control parameter. The options include any Preset Speed, Max Frequency, or allowing the reference to be determined in the normal Vacon 500x control path.
  • Page 103 Sequencer Output Configuration The Vacon 500x 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.

These parameters are read and written as four-digit hexadecimal values. The following table shows the binary values that correspond to the sixteen hexadecimal values. The binary values are divided into four columns so you may more readily see which bits of the status or control words are affected by the binary values.
