Explanation
Assistant control panel, advanced operator keypad for
communication with the drive.
The ACS180 support types ACS-AP-I, ACS-AP-S and ACS-AP-
W (with a Bluetooth interface).
Basic control panel, basic operator keypad for communication
with the drive.
Analog input; interface for analog input signals
Analog output; interface for analog output signals
Asynchronous motor
Optional USB to RJ45 cable
See DC link capacitors.
Circuit board in which the control program runs
DC circuit between rectifier and inverter
Energy storage which stabilizes the intermediate circuit DC
voltage
Digital input; interface for digital input signals
Digital output; interface for digital output signals
Frequency converter for controlling AC motors
Embedded fieldbus
Refers to the drive physical size, for example R0 and R1. The
type designation label attached to the drive shows the frame of
the drive, see the hardware manual of the drive.
Motor identification run. During the identification run, the drive
will identify the characteristics of the motor for optimum motor
control.
Describes binary numbers using a numbering system that has 16
sequential numbers as base units. The hexadecimal numbers
are 0-9 and the letters A-F.
Insulated gate bipolar transistor
See DC link.
Converts direct current and voltage to alternating current and
voltage.
Input/Output
Least significant word
Pre-defined default values of parameters in a drive control
program. Each macro is intended for a specific application. See
chapter Control macros.
Optional remote monitoring tool
User-adjustable operation instruction to the drive, or signal
measured or calculated by the drive
