Failsafe of the system which uses the inverter

When a fault occurs, the inverter trips to output a fault signal. However, a fault output signal may not be output at an inverter
fault occurrence when the detection circuit or output circuit fails, etc. Although Mitsubishi assures best quality products,
provide an interlock which uses inverter status output signals to prevent accidents such as damage to machine when the
inverter fails for some reason and at the same time consider the system configuration where failsafe from outside the inverter,
without using the inverter, is enabled even if the inverter fails.
(1) Interlock method which uses the inverter status output signals
By combining the inverter status output signals to provide an interlock as shown below, an inverter alarm can be
detected.

1) Check by the output of the inverter fault signal
When the fault occurs and trips the inverter, the fault output
signal (ALM signal) is output (ALM signal is assigned to
terminal ABC in the initial setting).
Check that the inverter functions properly.
In addition, negative logic can be set (ON when the inverter
is normal, OFF when the fault occurs).
2) Checking the inverter operating status by the inverter
operation ready completion signal
Operation ready signal (RY signal) is output when the
inverter power is on and the inverter becomes operative.
Check if the RY signal is output after powering ON the
inverter.
3) Checking the inverter operating status by the start signal
input to the inverter and inverter running signal.
The inverter running signal (RUN signal) is output when the
inverter is running (RUN signal is assigned to terminal RUN
in the initial setting).
Check if RUN signal is output when inputting the start signal
to the inverter (forward signal is STF signal and reverse
signal is STR signal). For logic check, note that RUN signal
is output for the period from the inverter decelerates until
output to the motor is stopped, configure a sequence
considering the inverter deceleration time
