In particular, on the supply of power to drives it is to be ensured, that excessively high speeds cannot result in load shedding. The monitoring of the maxi- mum speed with intervention in the safety chain is recommended above all if the system runs unmonitored. TC.ACS - Device Manual (V2.00) 10 / 33...
It is to be ensured that there are no undesirable effects (e.g. stirring up of dust or sand, deformation due to the action of heat etc.) due to the flow of air and the heat, which at high load may be powerful. TC.ACS - Device Manual (V2.00) 11 / 33...
The device is always to be operated within the permissible temperature range. High tem- peratures will significantly reduce the service life of various components. TC.ACS - Device Manual (V2.00) 12 / 33...
ACSControl. 2.1.1.2 Full Waveform Generator Mode (Option) In the full waveform generator mode the TC.ACS device simulates a grid or any other kind of electrical source. I.e. it generates signal functions that resemble those being generated by the respective source.
2.1.2 Amplifier Mode In the amplifier mode the TC.ACS device works as a triphase voltage or current (option) amplifier. I.e. it receives external signals via its analogue interfaces for each phase. These signals are amplified and then transferred to the output. Here any device, which creates electrical signals, can be used as an external signal generator.
Introduction Operation 2.2 Operation The TC.ACS device can be operated via the software ACSControl exclusively. The software ACSControl is included in the scope of delivery. 2.3 Product Variants The TC.ACS product range varies with regard to the following aspects: • Power •...

Installation and Commissioning Overview Installation and Commissioning 4.1 Overview The installation and commissioning of the TC.ACS includes the following steps: • Case Installation (4.3) • Electrical Installation (4.4) • Connecting a Cooling System (4.5) • Connecting a PC (4.6) • Starting the TC.ACS (4.7) •...
The TC.ACS is intended to be installed in a standard 19” switch cabinet with an external air flow. In this case it is to be placed on rails or shelves and fastened at the holes on the left and right edges of the front panel.
If you want to use a residual current device, please consider the varying requirements for protection against fire and the protection of individuals. Regatron recommends the usage of a residual current device sensitive to AC and DC leakage currents. Prior to the electrical installation, Regatron recommends to confirm the following aspects: - The type plate matches the data in the order and delivery documents.
Prerequisites For the electrical installation of the TC.ACS the following must be given: • The TC.ACS is electrically isolated, switched off (via the main switch) and secured against being switched on. • Correct Size of Cables and Cable Ends (4.4.2.1) •...
• Star topology earthing (suitable for EMI) of the device 4.4.3 Procedure To electrically install the TC.ACS, do the following: Connect the mains via the X10 AC line input terminal (see 3.3). Connect the load to the X20 AC load output terminal (see 3.3).
4.5 Connecting a Cooling System 4.5.1 Introduction In order to dissipate the generated heat, the TC.ACS necessarily needs to be connected to an external cooling system. The liquid to air heat exchanger TC.LAE is designed to be used as an external cooling system with the TC.ACS.
Connecting a PC 4.6 Connecting a PC In order to be operate the TC.ACS you need to connect a PC with the software ACSCon- trol. You can connect the PC via the USB-interface X607 or the Ethernet-LAN-interface X605 (see 3.3).
Running a Function Test 4.8 Running a Function Test With the software ACSControl you can run a function test on the TC.ACS to confirm that it actually works as intended. For installing the software ACSControl as well as detailed information on how to use it, see the related software manual.
- Due to the weight of the device, a robust trolley, a forklift, or a crane should be used. The TC.ACS is equipped with four eyelet rings, which allow to attach hoisting slings. Use the eyelet rings to lift the TC.ACS.
