This chapter describes the correct procedural approach for planing work. Chapter 5 - Parameters and signals This chapter describes the parameters and signals of a DCS 500 12-pulse power converter. Chapter 6 -Start-Up This chapter describes the start-up procedure, and contains the setting values for parameters in 12-pulse mode, plus the relevant values for assigning the input and output signals.

Block diagram The signals and parameter settings depicted in the diagram are re- quired for a speed-controlled 12-pulse drive with DCS 500 in a Master-Slave configuration. The function block shown is included in the basic software, and is activated when required using Parameter 1209.
Both units work more or less independently, controlling their own line contactors and the enables. Switch-on/switch-off For the DCS 500 in its 12-pulse mode, an additional logic is pro- logic vided, which in the event of an error will disable both units through the INHIBIT input of the drive logic.
Terminals X4:8 (Master) and X3:8 (Slave) must be connected to each other using a cable of >1 mm². For the 12-pulse function, the current limitation parameters (406), (2307) and (2308) must all be set to the same size. DCS 500 12-Pulse Planning and Start-Up 3 - 3...

For instructions on start-up, please consult the Installation and Start-up Manual (DCS 500). It is best to disconnect the non-active unit from the mains, or at least to disable it by suppressing the firing pulses. The interphase reactor can remain connected throughout the entire start-up procedure.
