Active Line Modules
5.1 Description
Active Infeed components
An Active Infeed comprises an Active Interface Module and an Active Line Module.
In the case of an Active Infeed with an Active Line Module of frame sizes HXL or JXL, the
bypass contactor is not included in the associated Active Interface Module, but must be
provided separately. The Active Interface Modules and Active Line Modules of this frame
size have degree of protection IP00.

Operating principle
One or more Motor Modules can be connected to the power supply network via the Active
Line Module. The Active Line Module provides a constant DC link voltage for the Motor
Modules. This ensures that they are not influenced by line voltage fluctuations. The
regenerative feedback capability of the Active Line Module can be deactivated by
parameterization.
The Active Line Module is suitable for direct operation both on TN and on IT and TT
systems.
With the motors operating as generators, the Active Line Module feeds regenerative energy
into the supply network.
The Active Line Module is used for:
● Machines with high dynamic drive requirements
● Frequent braking cycles and high braking energy.
The volumetric flow of the coolant is monitored by the software. If the volumetric flow is
continuously lower than the setpoint, an alarm (A5005) is first displayed. If this alarm
remains active continually for the next 5 minutes, a fault message (F30047) is activated
which shuts down the unit.
The fans for the internal device electronics are only switched on when required.
The fans are switched on and off as a function of several factors (e.g. heat sink temperature,
ambient temperature, output current, duty cycle, ...) which means that fan operating cycles
cannot be calculated directly.
An external 24 V DC power supply is required to operate water-cooled Active Line Modules.
