53 kVA. It contains an actively controlled voltage link inverter with a multilevel IGBT output stage. The input filter and the output filter (sinusoidal filter) are located in the housing of the MC53/MC53A and do not require any additional installation.
MECOS AG reserves all property rights to these operating instructions. Therefore, please adhere to the follow- ing rules: • Make copies of any kind and for any application, even in parts, only with the consent of MECOS AG. • Prevent third parties from accessing the operating instructions. This also applies to excerpts and re- productions of any kind.
General Access aids and conventions A distinction is made between safety instructions and pictograms for the structural elements appearing in the operating instructions (orientation to EN 82079-1). 1.5.1 Safety instructions The signal words are assigned to different danger levels according to EN 82079 and ANSI Z535: DANGER! The signal word DANGER! indicates an immediate hazard with high risk, which will result in death or serious physical injury if you do not avoid the situation.
The variable frequency drive is used exclusively to control synchronous machines that have been ap- proved by MECOS AG and for which the MC53/MC53A is configured. It may only be used in the com- mercial sector. The written approval of MECOS AG is required for other purposes or areas of applica- tion.
Safety 2.1.2 Safety instructions for transport The variable frequency drive must be packed and transported by qualified personnel. Particular at- tention must be paid to the weight and the resulting dangers. WARNING! The variable frequency drive has a total weight which, together with the packaging, exceeds 25 kg. A corresponding health hazard results due to failure of the transport equipment or improper han- dling.
Safety 2.1.4 Safety instructions for repairs/maintenance/servicing Repairs to the variable frequency drive are carried out exclusively by MECOS. The device must not be opened. Prescribed intervals or intervals specified in the operating instructions for regular maintenance work and recurring tests/inspections must be followed.
Safety Electricity The variable frequency drive is operated with a voltage of up to 480 V which can be classified as dangerous. The corresponding precautionary measures for handling electricity must be followed. Work on the electrical equipment may only be carried out by qualified electricians in accordance with the elec- trotechnical regulations.
Safety Emergency measures in the event of accidents with electric current Basic procedure in the event of an electrical accident: 1. Disconnect the circuit. 2. Assess the severity of the accident. 3. Call the ambulance/emergency medical service. 4. If unconscious, place the person in the recovery position. 5.
(see chapter 13). Optional extension interfaces Up to 5 different extension modules can be operated in parallel with the MC53/MC53A. Various industrial buses and a wide range of measured variables are supported. The microbus standard serves as the standard.

Maximum output current Extension module Extension interface Number Description: The MC53/MC53A has five expansion slots. MECOS currently has the following expansion cards in its range. The expansion cards are intended for factory installation. 4.9.1 Expansion card IBE723 (EtherCAT) Interface type...
Transport Transport For longer transports and especially for outdoor transports, the original packaging of the variable frequency drive must be used as impact and moisture protection. It is therefore essential to keep the original packaging. For transport within a building, no special precautions need to be taken for packaging. However, care must be taken to ensure that the electronics are not subjected to any shocks or stresses.
Use the appropriate M6 screws for installation. Hole spacing horizontal: 190 mm, hole spacing vertical: 432 mm To ensure proper cooling of the MC53/MC53A, a minimum distance of 20 cm must be maintained for the air supply as well as the air exhaust (see Figure 5).
Assembly and installation Ventilation The ventilation of the control cabinet must comply with the conditions specified in chapter 4. Make sure that the air flow generated by the built-in fans is not blocked. For the supply air and the exhaust air, the space above and below the housing must remain free at least to the distance of 20 cm.
Protective earth connection (housing) For a safe earth connection of the MC53/MC53A housing, an M8 threaded bolt with a length of 20 mm is pro- vided on the housing. The cable cross-section of the PE connection must be the same size or larger than the cross-section of the supply cable between the power supply and the MC53/MC53A.

X3 are two 10-pin connectors for communication between the customer interface and the MC53/MC53A via digital inputs and outputs. 6 digital inputs (DIN0-5), 2 digital outputs (DOUT0-1) and a relay output are available for this purpose. In addition, the +24 V power supply for the Dig-IOs can be tapped at connector pins 5 and 6.

Assembly and installation 6.6.7 X7 - DC link X7 is a 2-pole connection for tapping the DC link. The pin assignment is printed on the front panel. Control Connector: Phoenix Contact | IPC 5/ 2-GF-7.62 (1708491) Cable Connector: Phoenix Contact | ISPC 5/ 2-STF-7.62 (1748972) Pin no.
If the boot button (above the alarm display) is pressed and held during the boot process, the controller can be put into boot mode. After pressing the boot button, the drive cannot be activated (the MC53/MC53A is perma- nently in boot mode).

Parameterisation of the communication interfaces The MC53/MC53A has a large number of parameters which are defined depending on the project. The param- eterisation is carried out via the PC interface (see chapter 7.4) and can only be changed by the customer to a limited extent, as incorrect parameterisation can lead to damage or destruction of the system in addition to incorrect behaviour.
Details on these interfaces are given, if not described in this document, in the associated document (see chapter 13). If a connection via the service or fieldbus interface is not possible, the service department of MECOS AG (see chapter 1.4) must be notified.
It makes sense to check which materials can be recycled and then to do so. Warranty Unless otherwise agreed, the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of MECOS AG shall apply. The entitlement to any warranty services expires with the unauthorised opening of the device or the attempt to carry out repairs or modifications without consultation with written confirmation from MECOS AG.
MECOS variable frequency drives OOLBOX The T for MECOS variable frequency drives (MecosTools) can be used to change a wide range of system OOLBOX parameters and perform real-time measurements of all process variables. It contains all functions for commis- sioning, validation and maintenance of the variable frequency drive.
