    1 PL/X DC Motor Drive PL/X DC Motor Drive 1.1 Introduction Follow the steps outlined in this guide to install and initiate the PL/X as a basic speed controller, employing ARMATURE VOLTAGE feedback mode for optimal safety. The PL/X drive displays user-friendly menus and parameter names. Use the key sequences we provide at each step to navigate and edit parameter values with no knowledge of the menu system required.
  • Page 7 Entering key sequences Use the PL/X keypad to enter the key sequences in the order given. This will navigate the menus in the fewest key presses. LEFT RIGHT Several sequences reset at the Diagnostic Summary screens, located at the top of the menu system. This reset is used as a helpful reference point in case you lose your way.

    1.3 Installation 1.3.1 Connect the drive WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD Before beginning to connect the drive, ensure that all power is OFF. Make sure that you route power and control wiring in separate conduit/cable trays. Wiring must meet all applicable national and local electrical regulations. Make sure that the voltages on the EL1/EL2/EL3 terminals are in-phase with the voltages on L1/L2/L3.

    1.4 Essential pre-start checks Make the essential mechanical and electrical pre-start checks before applying power to the motor. You need to ensure that you can mark each item on the checklists as completed. Failing to comply with these requirements may cause incorrect functioning or damage to the drive and/or installation - this will invalidate any Warranty.

  • Page 12: Check List: Electrical

    1.4.2 CHECK LIST: Electrical  Tick each each item when complete. Check that all external fuses are of the correct rating and type. The total  clearing I t ratings of the main fuse and auxiliary fuse must be smaller in value than the rating specified in the rating tables.

  • Page 13: Final Checks Before Applying Power

    1.5 Final checks BEFORE applying power • Recheck all wiring, especially the drive's chassis ground. • Use a multimeter to check the L1, L2, L3, F+, F-, A+, and A- terminals for short-circuits to ground. All readings should be greater than 1 MΩ. If any resistances are lower than 1 MΩ, correct them before you apply power.

    1.7 QuickStart steps Always commission the drive using ARMATURE VOLTAGE feedback, even if the motor has a dc tacho or encoder. It allows verification of the feedback polarity, ensuring that the motor does not run out of control. WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD Follow the QuickStart steps below as written and in the correct numerical order.
