Warning The AMKASYN KU series is used for controlling AMK AC servo and main spindle motors. The manufacturer/operator of the installation as a whole is responsible for any damage resulting from use of the drive system in any way other than in the intended manner...
2 Brief system description The unit series KU is used for supplying the AMK AC motors. The digitally working converter controls the drive in the 4-quadrant mode precisely and with high dynamics. The latest power semiconductors in combination with high integration guarantee high availability.
3 Technical data 3.1 KU Specifications KU inverters with designation suffix “-1“ and “-3“ are equipped with regenerative braking. Surplus braking energy is fed back into power mains. Type KU 25 / KU 25-1 KU 40/KU 40-1 KU 50 / KU 50-1 KU 40-2/KU 40-3 Input voltage 3 x 380V ...
3.3 External brake resistor With KU inverters without regenerative braking, excess brake energy has to be converted to heat with an external brake resistor. The brake transistor is integrated in the KU inverter. The external brake resistor has to be connected via terminal X04 (RBP/RBN) with shielded cable. The shield must be grounded to PE at both ends.
4% mains perturbation is reduced and the power factor is improved. Main contactor and line reactor can be ordered from AMK. Main contactor / Line reactor specification Main contactor with 1 auxiliary NC contact and RC suppressor:...
5.2 Functional description The central module AZ contains the following functional groups: Rectifier for generating the DC-Bus voltage respectively controlled rectifier bridge for inverters with regenerative braking. Charging device for the DC-Bus Brake transistor Braking energy from the motor is first fed into the DC-Bus. If the DC-Bus voltage exceeds its limit value, the brake transistor is activated and the surplus braking energy is converted into heat through the brake resistor.
5.3 KU 25-1 / KU 40-1 / KU 50-1 KU inverters with regenerative braking The regenerative braking is activated by the KU system software. Through bit 17 of ID32773 the initialization of this function can be selected depending on: Regenerative braking is initiated after „Inverter On“ handshake QRF (default setting) ID32773, Bit 17 = 0: Regenerative braking is initiated already after „DC BUS Enable“...

Error condition for regenerative braking because of regenerative overcurrent. The LED state is maintained until „Error reset“ (FL) was activated or power was turned off. Possible causes: Regenerative overcurrent. Supply voltage dip. Missing of a line half-wave or phase failure. Line undervoltage.

By interrupt of input EF and fail-safe evaluation of the handshake signals QEF and QES in the higher ranking controller the unintentional start of the motor is safely prevented (safety category 4).
5.6 Pulse diagram Switching On/Off picture name: ZCH_KU_Impulsdiagramm_ein_aus_KU25 Usually the signal „UE DC BUS Enable“ is set through binary input BE3 on controller card KU-R03. For this the default assignment „NK“ must be reconfigured: ID 32980 = 32903 (code for UE, refer also to „Parameters“ description).
5.7 Pulse diagram Emergency Stop picture name: ZCH_KU_Impulsdiagramm_not_aus_KU25 5.8 Overview of KU option modules Controller cards with different features are available for the KU unit series. The following table provides an overview of the different option cards in conjunction with the different controller cards. Compared with the KU-R01 in which the option cards are assigned permanently to an option slot, the controller card KU-R02, KU-R03, KU-R03P supports 2 option slots of the SAME TYPE.

6 Exchange of drive modules 6.1 Exchange of KU inverter Please observe without fail: The KU converter may be exchanged only in consultation with the machine manufacturer! All plant-specific parameters are stored in the EEPROM on the parameter module PA1 of the KU-R02 controller card.
Pay attention to the correct phase-sequence! Incorrect phase-sequence reverses motor direction! By this false control direction! Switching on with false phase sequence results in an uncontrolled rotation of the motor shaft with possible damages in the installation! Warning 16. If used: Securely connect brake resistor (X04). 17.
