Subject to alterations without notice.
Warning!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Before commencing the installation
Disconnect the power supply of the device.
Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted.
Verify isolation from the supply.
Earth and short circuit.
Cover or enclose neighbouring units that are live.
Follow the engineering instructions (AWA) of the
device concerned.
Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50 110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this
device/system.
Before installation and before touching the device ensure
that you are free of electrostatic charge.
The functional earth (FE) must be connected to the protective
earth (PE) or to the potential equalisation. The system installer
is responsible for implementing this connection.
Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or control

cabinets must only be operated and controlled after they have
been installed with the housing closed. Desktop or portable
units must only be operated and controlled in enclosed
housings.
Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of
programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This should
not cause dangerous operating states even for a short time.
If necessary, emergency-stop devices should be implemented.
Wherever faults in the automation system may cause
damage to persons or property, external measures must be
implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the event of
a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of separate limit
switches, mechanical interlocks etc.).
According to their degree of protection frequency inverters may
feature during operation live, bright metal, or possibly moving,
rotating parts or hot surfaces.
Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so

that inductive or capacitive interference do not impair the
automation functions.
The impermissible removal of the necessary covers, improper

installation or incorrect operation of motor or frequency
inverter may cause the failure of the device and may lead to
serious injury or damage.
Install automation devices and related operating elements in

such a way that they are well protected against unintentional
operation.
The relevant national regulations apply to all work carried on

live frequency inverters.
Suitable safety hardware and software measures should be

implemented for the I/O interface so that a line or wire
breakage on the signal side does not result in undefined
states in the automation devices.
Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the low voltage for the
24 volt supply. Only use power supply units complying with
IEC 60 364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or HD 384.4.41 S2.
Deviations of the mains voltage from the rated value must
not exceed the tolerance limits given in the specifications,
otherwise this may cause malfunction and dangerous
operation.
The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance

with the relevant regulations (e. g. with regard to cable cross
sections, fuses, PE).
All work relating to transport, installation, commissioning and
maintenance must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
(IEC 60 364 and HD 384 and national work safety regulations).
Installations fitted with frequency inverters must be provided
with additional monitoring and protective devices in
accordance with the relevant safety regulations etc.
Modifications to the frequency inverters using the operating
software are permitted.
Moeller GmbH
Safety instructions
Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60 204-1 must

be effective in all operating modes of the automation devices.
Unlatching the emergency-stop devices must not cause restart.
All shrouds and doors must be kept closed during operation.

In order to reduce hazards to persons or equipment, the user
must include in the machine design measures that restrict the
consequences of a malfunction or failure of the drive
(increased motor speed or sudden standstill of motor).
These measures include:
Other independent devices for monitoring safety-related
variables (speed, travel, end positions etc.).
Electrical or non-electrical system related measures
(interlocks or mechanical interlocks).
Live parts or cable connections of the frequency inverter
must not be touched after it has been disconnected from the
power supply due to the charge in capacitors. Appropriate
warning signs must be provided.

Selection criteria
Frequency inverter characteristics
Selection criteria
The DF5 series convert the voltage and frequency of an existing

three-phase supply to a DC voltage and use this voltage to generate a three-phase supply with adjustable voltage and frequency.
This variable three-phase supply allows stepless variability of
three-phase asynchronous motors.
The frequency inverter is selected to suit the rated motor current.

The output rated current of the frequency inverter must however,
be greater than or equal to the rated motor current.

DF5-340 3 AC 400 V, 50/60 Hz
b The bridge rectifiers convert the AC voltage of the electrical supply to
a DC voltage.
c The DC link contains a charging resistor, smoothing capacitor and
switched-mode power supply unit. It enables coupling of the DC bus
voltage and the DC current supply:
DC bus voltage (UZK) = W2 x mains voltage (ULN)
d IGBT power inverter:
The power inverter converts the DC voltage of the DC link to a variable
three-phase alternating voltage with variable frequency.
e Output voltage (U2), motor connection:
three-phase, variable AC voltage, 0 to 100 % of the input voltage
(ULN)
Output frequency (f2):
Variable frequency, 0.5 to 360 Hz
Output rated current (I2N):
1.8 to 22.5 A with about 1.5 times the starting current for 60 s, with
a switching frequency of 5 kHz and with an ambient temperature of
40 C
Motor connection, assigned shaft output (P2):
0.18 to 2.2 kW at 230 V
0.37 to 7.5 kW at 400 V
f Programmable control section with keypad and interface.
The following drive data is assumed to be known:

type of motor (three-phase asynchronous motor),
mains voltage = supply voltage of the motor (e.g. 3 ~ 400 V),
rated motor current (guide value, dependent on the circuit type
and the supply voltage),
load torque (quadratic, constant, with 1.5-times the starting
torque),
ambient temperature (maximum temperature 40 C).
h With the parallel connection of multiple motors to the
output of a frequency inverter, the motor currents are

subject to vector addition, i.e. the active in-phase current
and reactive current components are added separately.
Select the frequency inverter rating to ensure that the
total current can be supplied by the frequency inverter.
h If a motor switches during operation on the output of a
frequency inverter, the motor draws a multiple of its rated

current. Select the rating of the frequency inverter to
ensure that the starting current plus the sum of the
currents of the running motors does not exceed the rated
output current of the frequency inverter.
The rated output current of the frequency inverter can be found in

the technical data in the Appendix from Page 107.

inverters
Intended use
Service and guarantee
The DF5 series frequency inverters are not domestic appliances.

They are designed only for industrial use as system components.
In the unlikely event that you have a problem with your Moeller
frequency inverter, please contact your local sales office.
The DF5 series frequency inverters are electrical apparatus for

controlling variable speed drives with three-phase motors. They
are designed for installation in machines or for use in combination
with other components within a machine or system.
Please have the following data and information concerning the to

hand:
After installation in a machine, the frequency inverters must not be

taken into operation until the associated machine has been
confirmed to comply with the safety requirements of Machinery
Safety Directive (MSD) 89/392/EEC and meets the requirements of
EN 60204. The user of the equipment is responsible for ensuring
that the machine use complies with the relevant EU Directives.
The CE-mark attached to the DF5 series frequency inverters
confirm that, when used in a typical drive configuration, the
apparatus complies with the European Low Voltage Directive
(LVD) and the EMC Directives (Directive 73/23/EEC, as amended
by 93/68/EEC and Directive 89/336/EEC, as amended by 93/68/
EEC).
Frequency inverters of the DF5 series are suitable for use in public
and non-public networks in the described system configuration.
Depending on their location of use, external filtering may be
necessary.
Connection to IT networks (networks without a ground potential
reference point) is not permitted as the devices internal filter capacitors connect the network to the ground potential (enclosure). On
earth free networks, this can lead to dangerous situations or
damage to the device (isolation monitoring required).
On the output of the frequency inverter (terminals U, V, W) you
may not:
connect a voltage or capacitive loads (e.g. phase compensation
capacitor),
connect multiple frequency inverters in parallel,
make a direct connection to the input (bypass).
Observe the technical data and terminal requirements. Refer to the
equipment nameplate or label and the documentation for more
details.
Any other usage constitutes improper use.

1) If the frequency inverter is to be installed in a control panel, enclosure or similar installation, the prevalent ambient temperature within these enclosures or control panels is considered to be the ambient temperature Ta. The use of fans should be considered to ensure that the ambient temperature
remains within permissible limits.

The DF5 series frequency inverters can be used without limitation
with every type of electrical grid (Electrical grids according to
IEC 364-3).
Electrical grid types

Electrical grids with a direct earthing point (TT/TN-systems):
Operation of the frequency inverters of the DF5 series with TT-/
TN-systems is possible without limitation. Adhere to the rated
data of the DF5 series frequency inverters.
h If many frequency inverters with a single-phase supply are

connected to the mains, the symmetric distribution on all
three mains poles should be considered as well as the
loading of the common neutral pole (mains r.m.s current).
If necessary, the cross-section of the neutral pole must be
increased, if it conducts the total current of all singlephase devices.
Grids with isolated centre point (IT-systems):

Operation of the frequency inverters of the DF5 series with
IT-systems is only conditionally possible. A prerequisite is a
suitable device (isolation monitoring), which monitors earth
faults and isolates the frequency inverter from the mains.
14
Caution!
With an earth fault in an IT-system, the capacitors of the
frequency inverter which are switched to earth are subject
to a very high voltage. Therefore, safe operation of the
frequency inverter cannot be guaranteed. The situation
can be remedied with an additional isolating transformer
with an earthed centre point on its secondary, which is
then used to supply the input of the frequency inverter.
This constitutes an individual TN-system for the frequency
inverter.
Mains voltage, Mains frequency
The rated data for the frequency inverters of the DF5 take the
European and American standard voltages into account:
230 V, 50 Hz (EU) and 240 V, 60 Hz (USA) with DF5-322,
400 V, 50 Hz (EU) und 460 V, 60 Hz (USA) with the DF5-340
The permitted mains voltage range is:
230/240 V: 180 V 0 % to 252 V + 0 %
400/460 V: 342 V 0 % to 506 V + 0 %
The permissible frequency range is 47 Hz 0 % to 63 Hz + 0 %.
The device assignment of the motor rating to the mains voltage is
listed in Section Technical Data, Page 107 in the Appendix.
09/01 AWB8230-1412GB
Interaction with compensation devices

The DF5 series frequency inverters only accept a minimal fundamental reactive power from the AC voltage supply. Compensation
is therefore unnecessary.
Caution!
Operation of the frequency inverters of the DF5 series on
the mains with p.f. correction equipment is only permitted
when this equipment is dampened with chokes.
Protection of persons and domestic animals with residualcurrent protective devices

Residual-current circuit-breakers RCCB (according to VDE 0100,
also referred to as ELCBs). Universal current sensitive ELCBs according to EN 50178 and IEC 755.
Identification on the residual-current circuit-breakers
Logo
Type
Fuses and cable cross-sections

When the devices are connected to the mains, the fuses and cable
cross-sections which are required are dependent on the rating of
the frequency inverter and the operation mode of the drive.
Caution!
The voltage drop under load conditions should be considered when selecting the cable cross-section. Compliance
to further standards (e.g. VDE 0113, VDE 0289) is the
responsibility of the user.
The recommended fuses and the assignment of the DF5 series
frequency inverters are listed in Section Cables and fuses,
Page 112 in the Appendix.
The national and regional standards (e.g. VDE 0113, EN 60204)
must be observed and the necessary approvals (e.g. UL) at the site
of installation must be fulfilled.
When the device is operated in a UL-approved system, only
UL-approved fuses, fuse bases and cables can be used.
The leakage currents to ground (according to EN 50178) are
greater than 3.5 mA. The PE terminal and the enclosure must be
connected to the earth-current circuit.
Caution!
The prescribed minimum cross-sections of PE-conductors
(EN 50178, VDE 0160) must be observed. Select the
cross-section of the PE-conductor as least as large as the
terminal capacity of the power terminals.

sensitive
(RCCB, Type B)
The frequency inverter is internally equipped with a mains rectifier.

With a short circuit to an exposed conductive part, a fault DC
current can block the trip of the alternating current sensitive or
pulse current sensitive residual-current circuit-breaker and thus
eliminate the protective function. We therefore recommend the
use of:
Pulse current sensitive residual-current circuit-breakers with
a rated current f 30 mA with frequency inverters with a singlephase supply ( .
Universal current sensitive residual-current circuit-breakers
with a rated current f 300 mA with frequency inverters with a
single-phase supply on frequency inverters with three-phase
supply .
The fault current recommended values of the DF5 series frequency
inverters and the assigned radio interference filter are listed in
Section Radio interference filter, Page 115 in the Appendix.
Spurios tripping of a residual-current circuit-breaker can be
activated by the following:
by capacitive compensation currents of the cable screens,
particularly with long screened motor cables,
by simultaneous connection of multiple frequency inverters to
the mains supply,
with the use of additional chokes and filters (radio interference
filter, line filter).
Caution!
Residual-current circuit-breakers may only be installed on
the primary side between the incoming supply and the
frequency inverter.
Warning!
Only use cables, residual-current circuit-breakers and
contactors which have a suitable rating. Otherwise there
is a danger of fire.

Mains contactor
Mains choke
The mains contactor is connected to the mains side input cables

L1, L2, L3 (type dependant). It allows the operational switch on
and off of the DF5 series frequency inverters from the mains supply
as well as shutdown during a fault.
The mains choke (also referred to as a commutating choke or line

reactor) is connected to the mains side input cables L1, L2, L3 (type
dependent). It reduces the harmonics and leads to a reduction of
the apparent mains current by up to 30 %.
Mains contactors and the assignment with the DF5 series

frequency inverters are listed in Section Mains contactors,
Page 113 in the Appendix.
A mains choke also limits current peaks which occur, caused by

potential dips (e.g. caused by p.f. correction equipment or earth
faults) or switching operations on the mains.
Current peaks
In the following cases, a relatively high peak current can occur on
the primary side of the frequency inverter (i.e. on the supply
voltage side), which under certain conditions, can destroy the
input rectifier of the frequency inverter:
Imbalance of the voltage supply greater than 3 %.
The maximum power output of the supply point must be at least
10 times greater than the maximum frequency inverter rating
(approx 500 kVA).
If sudden voltage dips in the supply voltage are to be expected,
e.g. :
a number of frequency inverters are operated on a common
supply voltage.
a Thyristor system and a frequency inverter or operated on a
common supply voltage.
power factor correction devices are switched on or off.
In the cases mentioned, a mains choke with approx. 3 % voltage
drop at rated operation should be installed.
The mains choke increases the lifespan of the DC link capacitors

and consequently the lifespan of the frequency inverter. Its use is
also recommended:
with a single-phase supply (DF5-322),
with derating (temperatures above +40 C, sites of installation
which are more than 1000 m above sea level),
with parallel operation of multiple frequency inverters on a
single mains supply point,
with DC link coupling of multiple frequency inverters
(interconnected operation).
Mains chokes and the assignment to DF5 series frequency inverters are listed in Section Mains choke, Page 116 in the
Appendix.
Line filter, Radio interference filter

Line filters are a combination of mains chokes and radio interference filters in a single enclosure. They reduce the current harmonics and dampen high frequency radio interference levels.
Radio interference filters only dampen high frequency radio interference levels.
Caution!
When line filters or radio interference filters are used, the
leakage current to earth increases. Observe this point
when residual-current circuit-breakers are used.

EMC guidelines
EMC guidelines
The limit values for emitted interference and immunity with variable speed drives are described in the IEC/EN 61800-3 product
standard.
When operating the frequency inverters of the DF5 series in countries which are part of the European Union (EU), the EMC guideline
89/336/EEC must be observed. The following conditions described
must be observed in order to comply with this guideline:
Supply voltage (mains voltage) for the frequency inverter:
voltage fluctuation g10 % or less
voltage imbalance g3 % or less
frequency variation g4 % or less
If the above mentioned conditions are not fulfilled, the respective
mains choke must be installed (a Section Mains choke in the
Appendix, Page 116).
EMC interference class

When installation is completed according to the Section Installation, described in EMC guidelines Page 17 and with the use of
a radio interference filter, the frequency inverters of the DF5 series
comply to the following standards:
Emitted interference:
IEC/EN 61800-3 (EN 55011 group 1, class B)
Noise immunity:
EN 61800-3, industrial environment
Noise immunity
DF5 series frequency inverters conform with the requirements of
the EC/EN 61800-3 EMC-product standard for industrial use
(second environment), and the higher interference immunity
values in domestic environments (first environment) with the
assigned radio interference filters.
A domestic environment can be understood to be a connection
point (transformer feeder) to which domestic households are also
connected.
The EMC-guideline for an industrial system requires electromagnetic compatibility with the environment as a whole. The product
standard examines a typical drive system in principle as a complete
system, i.e. the combination of frequency inverter, cables and
motor.
Emitted interference and radio interference suppression
DF5 series frequency inverters conform with the requirements of
the EC/EN 61800-3 EMC-product standard for domestic use (first
environment), and therefore also with the higher interference
immunity values in industrial environments (second environment)
with the assigned radio interference filters.
Ensure compliance to the limit values with the following points:
reduction of performance related interference with line filters
and/or radio interference filters including mains chokes.
reduction of the electromagnetic emission interference by
screening motor cables and signal cables.
compliance with installation guidelines (EMC compliant
installation).
With frequency inverters, performance related and emitted interference increase with the switching frequency. The frequency of
occurrence of performance related interference also increase with
longer motor cables. When the respective radio interference filter
is used, the EN 61800-3 standard is complied to as follows:

Radio interference filter usage
The frequency inverter operates with fast electronic switching

devices e.g. transistors (IGBT). For this reason, radio interference
can occur on the output of the frequency inverter, which may
effect other electronic devices located in the direct vicinity such as
radio receivers or measurement instruments. In order to offer
protection against this radio frequency interference (RFI), the
devices should be screened and installed as far away as possible
from the frequency inverters.
The RFI filter should be installed in the direct vicinity of the

frequency inverter. The connection cable between the frequency
inverter and filter should be as short as possible. Screened cables
are required if the length exceeds 30 cm.
The radio interference filters assigned for the DE5-LZ... series
(a Section Radio interference filter in the Appendix,
Page 115) enable the installation below (foot-print) or on the side
(book-type) of the DF5 series frequency inverters.
We recommend the following measures for EMC compliant installation:

installation of the frequency inverter in a metallic, electrically
conducting enclosure with a good connection to earth.
installation of a radio interference filter on the input of the
frequency inverter in its direct vicinity
screened motor cables (short cable lengths).

Radio interference filters produce leakage currents which can be

(phase failure, load unbalance). The filters must be earthed before
use in order to avoid dangerous voltages. As the leakage currents

are high frequency interference sources, the earthing measures

must be undertaken with low resistance's on surfaces which as

To ensure EMC-compliant setup, connect all metallic components
of the devices and of the control cabinet with each other using a
large cross-section conductor with good HF conducting properties.
Do not make connections to painted surfaces (Eloxal, yellow chromated). If there is no alternative, use contact and scraper washers
to ensure contact with the base metal. Connect mounting plates
to each other, and the cabinet doors with the cabinet using
contacts with large surface areas and short HF wires.

Installation
Grounding
Fit additional RFI filters or mains filters and frequency inverters as

closely as possible to each other and on a single metal plate
(mounting plate).
Connect the ground plate (mounting plate) with the protective

earth using a short cable. To achieve the best results, all conducting components (frequency inverter, mains filter, motor filter,
mains choke) should be connected by an HF wire, and the protective conductor should be laid in a star configuration from a central
earthing point. This produces the best results.
Lay cables in the control cabinet as near as possible to the ground

potential. Cables that hang freely act as antennae.
To prevent transfer of electromagnetic energy, lay interferencesuppressed cables (e.g. mains supply before the filter) and signal
lines as far away as possible (at least 10 cm) from HF-conducting
cables (e.g. mains supply cable after a filter, motor power cable).
This applies especially where cables are routed in parallel. Never
use the same cable duct for interference-suppressed and HF
cables. Where unavoidable, cables should always cross over at
right angles to each other.
Ensure that the earthing measures have been correctly implemented (a Fig. 14). No other device which has to be earthed
should be connected to the earthing terminal of the frequency
inverter. If more than one frequency inverter is to be used, the earthing cables should not form a closed loop.
Never lay control or signal cables in the same duct as power

cables. Analog signal cables (measured values, setpoints and
correction values) must be screened.

Screening
Unscreened cables behave like antennae, i.e. they act as transmitters and receivers. To ensure EMC-compliant connection, screen
all interference-emitting cables (frequency inverter/motor output)
and interference-sensitive cables (analog setpoint and measured
value cables).
The effectiveness of the cable screen depends on a good screen

connection and a low screen impedance. Use only screens with
tinned or nickel plated copper braiding, braided steel screens are
unsuitable. The screen braid must have an overlap ratio of at least
85 percent and an overlap angle of 90.

EMC compliance
The screened cable between frequency inverter and motor should

be as short as possible. Connect the screen to earth at both ends
of the cable using a large contact surface connection.
Lay the cables for the supply voltage separately from the signal
cables and control cables.
Never unravel the screening or use pigtails to make a connection.
Figure 16:
In an EMC-compliant control cabinet (metal-enclosed, damped to

about 10 dB), the motor cables do not need to be screened
provided that the frequency inverter and motor cables are spatially
separated from each other and arranged in a separate partition
from the other control system components. The motor cable screening must then be connected via a large surface area connection
at the control cabinet (PES).
The control cable and signal (analog setpoint and measured value)
cable screens must be connected only at one cable end. Connect
the screen to ground using a large-area contact surface; ensure
that the connection has a low impedance. Digital signal cable
screens must be connected at both cable ends with large-surface,
low-resistance connections.
Inadmissible screen grounding (pigtails)
If contactors, maintenance switches, motor protection relays,

motor reactors, filters or terminals are installed in the motor
cabling, interrupt the screen near these components and connect
it to the mounting plate (PES) using a large contact surface
connection. The free, unscreened connecting cables should not be
longer then about 100 mm.

cable lengths, a motor choke is required for dv/dt-limitation
If the cable leading from the frequency inverter to motor is longer
than approx. 10 m, it is possible that the available thermal relays
(bimetallic relays) will malfunction due to high frequency harmonics. Install a motor filter on the output of the frequency inverter
in this case.
Warning!
Do not connect cables to the terminals in the power
section which are not designated. These terminals are
partially without function (dangerous voltages) or are
reserved for DF5 internal purposes.
Warning!
Each phase of the supply voltage for the frequency
inverter must be protected by a fuse (danger of fire).
Warning!
Ensure that all power cables are correctly tightened on the

applying a control command via the interface or fieldbus interface connection.
The speed of a three-phase motor is determined by the number of
pole pairs and the frequency. The output frequency of the DF5
series frequency inverter can be varied infinitely in the range from
0.5 to 360 Hz.
Connection of pole-changing three-phase motors (Dahlander
changing pole motors), rotor-fed three-phase commutator shunt
motors (slipring rotor) or reluctance motors, synchronous motors
and servo motors is possible, when they are approved for use with
frequency inverters by the motor manufacturer.
Warning!
The operation of a motor with speeds higher than the
rated speed (nameplate) can cause mechanical damage to
the motor (bearings, unbalance) and the machinery to
which it is connected and can lead to dangerous operating conditions!
Caution!
Uninterrupted operation in the lower frequency range
(less than approx. 25 Hz) can lead to thermal damage
(overheating) with self-ventilated motors. Possible
counter-measures include: Over-dimensioning or external
cooling independant of motor speed.
Observe the manufacturers recommendations for operation of the motor.

Installation
Parallel connection of motors on a frequency inverter

The DF5 series frequency inverters can control multiple motors
connected in parallel. If differing motor speeds are required, they
must be selected via the number of pole pairs and/or the gear
transmission ratio.

Parallel connection of multiple motors
Caution!
If a frequency inverter controls a number of motors in
parallel, the contactors for the individual motors must be
designed for AC-3 operation. You may not use the mains
contactors from the table in the Appendix Section Mains
contactors, Page 113. These mains contactors are only
designed for the mains (primary) currents of the frequency
inverter. If they are used in the motor circuit, the contacts
could weld.
The load resistance on the output of the frequency inverter is
reduced by parallel connection of the motors. The total stator
inductivity is reduced and the leakage capacitance increases. As a
result, the current distortion is larger when compared to operation
with a single motor load. In order to reduce the current distortion,
chokes or sinusoidal filters can be used on the frequency inverter
output.
h The current consumption of all the connected motors may

not exceed the rated output current I2N of the frequency
inverter.
h It is not possible to use electronic motor protection when
operating the frequency inverter with a number of

connected motors. You must however, protect each motor
with Thermistors and/or overload relays.
34
K3M
If motors with large differences in output power (e.g. 0.37 kW and

2.2 kW) are connected in parallel to the output of a frequency
inverter, problems can occur during the start phase and at low
speeds. It is possible, that motors with a low motor rating are
unable to develop the required torque. This is due to the relatively
high ohmic resistance's in the stators of these motors. They require
a higher voltage during the start phase and at low speeds.
Motor cable
Only screened motor cables may be used for EMC related compatability. The length of the motor cable and the associated use of
further components has an influence on the operating mode and
the operational behaviour. With parallel operation (multiple
motors connected to the frequency inverter output) the resulting
cable lengths lres must be calculated:
lres = SlM x WnM
SlM:

Sum of all motor cable lengths

Number of motor circuits
h With long motor cables, the leakage currents can cause

the earth fault fault indication due to parasitic cable
capacities. In this case, motor filters must be used.
Keep the motor cables as short as possible as it will positively

influence the drive behaviour.
09/01 AWB8230-1412GB
Motor filters, dv/dt-filters, sinusoidal filters

Motor filters (chokes) compensate for capacitive currents with
long motor cables and with grouped drives (multiple connection of
parallel drives to a single inverter).
The use of motor filters is recommended (observe the manufacturers instructions):
with grouped drives
with the operation of three-phase current asynchronous motors
with maximum frequencies greater than 200 Hz,
with the operation of reluctance motors or permanently-excited
synchronous motors with maximum frequencies greater than
120 Hz.
Bypass operation
If you want to have the option of operating the motor with the
frequency inverter or directly from the mains supply, the incoming
supplies must be locked mechanically:
Caution!
Switch-over between the frequency inverter and the
mains supply must be undertaken in a no voltage state.
Warning!
The frequency inverter outputs (U, V, W) may not be
connected to the mains voltage (destruction of the device,
danger of fire).
With dv/dt filters, the voltage on the motor terminals are limited
to values less than 500 V/ms. They should be applied with motors
with unknown or insufficient withstand voltage for the insulation.

Q1
Caution!
During the engineering phase, the voltage drop associated with motor filters and dv/dt filters must be considered as it can be up to 4 % of the frequency inverter
output voltage.
I> I> I>
K1M
When sinusoidal filters are used, the motors are supplied with
voltage and current which is almost sinusoidal.

Caution!
During the engineering phase, it is necessary to consider
that the sinusoidal filter on the output voltage and the
switching frequency of the frequency inverter must be
adapted to suit each other.

4 DF5 Operation
This section describes how to commission the DF5 series frequency

inverters and deals with issues that need to be observed during its
operation.
The control signal terminals are wired as follows.
Initial startup
Observe the following points before you take the frequency
inverter into operation:
Ensure that the power cables L and N or L1, L2 and L3 as well
as the frequency inverter outputs U, V and W are correctly
connected.
The control lines must be connected correctly.
The earth terminal must be connected correctly.
Only the terminals marked as earthing terminals must be
earthed.
The frequency inverter must be installed vertically on a nonflammable surface (e.g. a metal surface).
Remove any residue from wiring operations such as pieces of
wire and all tools from the vicinity of the frequency inverter.
Make sure that the cables connected to the output terminals are
not short-circuited or connected to earth.
Ensure that all terminal screws have been tightened sufficiently.
Make sure that the frequency inverter and the motor are correct
for the mains voltage.
The configured maximum frequency must match the maximum
operating frequency of the connected motor.
Never operate the frequency inverter with opened power
section covers. The front enclosure must be closed and secured
with the screw provided.
Caution!
Do not carry out h.v. tests. Built-in overvoltage filters are
fitted between the mains voltage terminals and earth,
which could be destroyed.
h Sparkover voltage and insulation resistance tests (megger

tests) have been carried out by the manufacturer.

DF5 Operation
Caution!
Check the following points during or after the initial
operation so that damage to the motor does not occur:
Was the direction of rotation correct?
Has a fault occurred during acceleration or
deceleration?
Was the frequency display correct?
Did any unusual motor noises or vibrations occur?
If a fault has occurred due to overcurrent or overvoltage, increase
the acceleration or deceleration time (a Section Acceleration
time 1, Page 76 and Section Deceleration time 1 Page 77).
By default, the ON key and the potentiometer on the keypad
(a Fig. 39 and a Table 7) have no functions assigned to

Operational warning message

Warning!
If the supply voltage recovers after a brief failure, the
motor may restart automatically if a start signal is still
present. If personnel are endangered as a result, an
external circuit must be provided which excludes a restart
after voltage recovery.
Warning!
If the frequency inverter has been configured so that the
stop command is not issued via the OFF key on the LCD
keypad, pressing the OFF key will not switch off the
motor. A separate Emergency-Stop switch must be
provided in the case.
Warning!
Maintenance and inspection of the frequency inverter
may only be undertaken at least 5 minutes after the
supply voltage has been switched off. Failure to observe
this point can result in electric shock as a result of the high
voltages involved.
Warning!
Never pull on the cable to unplug connectors (e.g. for
fan or circuit boards).
Warning!
If a malfunction is responded to by a reset, the motor
will start automatically if a start signal is applied at the
same time. To avoid the risk of serious or fatal injury to
personnel, you must ensure that the start signal is not
present before acknowledging an error message with a
reset.
48
Warning!
When the supply voltage for the frequency inverter is
applied when the start signal is active, the motor will
start immediately. Make sure that the start signal is not
active before the supply voltage is switched on.
Warning!
Cables or plug connectors may not be connected or
disconnected during operation when the supply voltage is
switched on.
Caution!
To prevent a risk of serious or fatal injury to personnel,
never interrupt the operation of the motor by opening the
contactors installed on the primary or secondary side.
h The ON key is functional only if the corresponding parameters of the frequency inverter have been configured
accordingly (a Section Setting the frequency and start
command parameters, Page 78).
h Before operating motors at frequencies above the stan-
dard 50 or 60 Hz, contact their manufacturers to verify

that the motors are suitable for operation at higher
frequencies. The motors could otherwise incur damage.

Programmable digital inputs 1 to 5

You can assign various functions to terminals 1 to 5. Depending
on your requirements, these terminals can be configured as
follows:
clockwise start signal (FWD),

anticlockwise start signal (REV),
selection inputs for various fixed frequencies (FF1 to FF4),
reset input (RST),
etc.
The terminal function for each of the programmable digital inputs

1 to 5 occurs via PNU C01 to C05, i.e. you use PNU C01 to specify
the function of digital input 1, PNU C02 to specify the function of
digital input 2, etc. You cannot, however, assign the same function
to two inputs.
Programmable digital inputs 1 to 5 are configured as make
contacts by default. If, therefore, the function of an input terminal
is to be activated, the corresponding input must be closed (i.e. the
input terminal is connected to terminal P24). Conversely, to deactivate the input terminal, the input must be opened.
Caution!
If an EEPROM error occurs (fault message E 08), all
parameters must be checked to ensure that they are
correct (particularly the RST input).

setpoints), depending on which of the inputs is active or inactive
(a Table 13). It is not necessary to use all the fixed frequency

If you want to configure a programmable output as FA2, you

must set the frequency under PNU C42, at which the FA2 signal
is to be generated in the acceleration phase.
With PNU C43, you set the respective frequency which is to
remain active until the FA2 signal is deactivated during deceleration.
Program one of the digital outputs 11 or 12 as an FA1 or FA2
output by setting under PNU C21 or C22, the value 01 for FA1
or 02 for FA2.

Program one of the digital inputs 11 or 12 as the AL output, by

setting the value 05 under PNU C21 or C22.
When the AL output is configured as a break contact (default

setting), remember that there is a delay from the time the supply
voltage is switched on until the AL output is closed, and a fault
message relating to the AL output therefore appears for a short
time after the supply is switched on.
Please note that the programmable digital outputs (including the
one configured as AL) are open collector types and therefore have
different electrical characteristics than the signalling relay outputs
(terminals K11, K12 and K14). In particular, the maximum voltage
and current carrying capacity ratings are significantly lower than
those of the relay outputs.
After the frequency inverter supply voltage has been switched off,
the AL output remains active until the DC bus voltage has dropped
below a certain level. This time depends, among other factors, on
the load applied to the inverter.
The delay from the time a fault occurs until the AL output is activated is about 300 ms.

After a fault has occurred, the associated fault message is retained

even after the voltage supply is switched off. The fault message
can be displayed again after the voltage has been switched back
on. However, the inverter is reset when the device is switched off,
i.e. the fault message will not be signalled on the terminals of the
signalling relay after the inverter is switched back on.
h If however, the fault signalling is to be retained even after
the inverter is switched back on, a latching (self maintaining) relay should be used.

When the signalling relay output is configured as a break contact

Voltage/frequency characteristics and boost

The boost with the V/f characteristic has the effect of boosting the
voltage (and consequently boosting the torque) in the lower
frequency range. The manual boost raises the voltage in the
frequency range from the start frequency (standard setting 0.5 Hz)
to half the base frequency (25 Hz with the standard setting of
50 Hz) in every operating stage (acceleration, normal operation,
deceleration), independently of the motor load. With automatic
boost, in contrast, the voltage is boosted according to the motor
load. A voltage boost may cause a fault message and trip due to
the higher currents involved.

DC braking (DC-Break)
To activate DC braking, apply a stop signal (PNU A51 to A55). By
applying a pulsed DC voltage to the motor stator, a braking torque
is induced in the rotor and acts against the rotation of the motor.
With DC braking, a high level of stopping and positioning accuracy
can be achieved.
82
Caution!
DC braking results in additional heating of the motor. You
should therefore configure the braking torque (PNU A54)
as low and the braking duration (PNU A55) as short as
possible.

Setting Parameters
PID controller
The DF5 series frequency inverter is a PID controller. This can be
used, for example, for flow and throughput controllers with fans
and pumps. PID control has the following features:
The setpoint value can be issued via the frequency inverter
keypad or via an external digital signal (fixed frequencies).
Sixteen different setpoint values are possible. In addition, the
setpoint can be defined with an analog input signal (0 to 10 V
or 4 to 20 mA).
With the DF5, you can implement the actual value signal feedback through an analog input voltage (of up to 10 V) or an
analog input current (up to 20 mA).
The permissible range for the actual value signal feedback can
be specifically matched (e.g. 0 to 5 V, 4 to 20 mA, or other
ranges).
With the aid of a scale adjustment, you can match the setpoint
signal and/or the actual value signal to the actual physical
quantities (such as air or water flow, temperature, etc.) and
represent them on the display.
The PID closed-loop control

P stands for Proportional, I stands for Integral and D
stands for Differential. In control engineering, the combination of
these three terms is termed PID closed-loop control, PID regulation
or PID control. PID closed-loop control is used in numerous types
of application, e.g. for controlling air and water flow or for controlling pressure and temperature. The output frequency of the
inverter is controlled by a PID control algorithm to ensure that the
deviation between the setpoint and actual value is as small as
possible. The following figure shows a block diagram representation of a PID closed loop control:

The example in the following figure shows a fan control:
I: Integral component
This component results in a correction of the output frequency by
integration of the system deviation. In the case of purely proportional control, a large system deviation causes a large change in the
output frequency. It follows, then, that if the system deviation is
very small, the change in the output frequency is also very small.
The problem is that the system deviation cannot be completely
eliminated. Hence the need for an integral component.

The integral component causes a continuous adding up of the

system deviation so that the deviation can be reduced to zero. The
reciprocal value of the integration gain is the integration time
Ti=1/Ki.

(Ti). The value may be between 0.5 s and 150 s. To disable the
integral component, enter 0.0.
Example of a fan control
D: Differential component
This component causes a differentiation of the system deviation.
As pure proportional control uses the current value of the system
deviation and pure integral control values from previous actions, a
certain delay in the control process always occurs. The D component compensates for this behaviour.
G1:DF5 series frequency inverters

w: Setpoint value
x: Actual value
P1: Controlled variable
a Fan
P: Proportional component
This component ensures that the output frequency and the system
deviation are subject to a proportional relationship. Using
PNU A72, the so-called proportional gain (Kp), expressed in %,
can be defined.
The following figure illustrates the relationship between system
deviation and output frequency. A large value for Kp results in a
quick reaction to a change of the system deviation. If, however, Kp
is too large, the system becomes unstable.

Kp = 0.75
50
Kp = 0.5
25
Kp = 0.25
Differential control corrects the output frequency using the rate of

change of the system deviation. The output frequency can therefore be compensated very quickly.
Kd can be set between 0 and 100 s.
The PID controller
A PID controller combines the P, I and D components described in
the previous sections. In order to achieve the optimum control
characteristics, each of the three PID parameters must be set.
Uniform control behaviour without large steps in the output
frequency is guaranteed by the proportional component; the integral component minimizes the existing system deviation the
steady-state and the differential component ensures a quick
response to a rapidly changing actual value signal.
As differential control is based on a differentiation of the system
deviation, it is very sensitive and also responds to unwanted
signals, such as interference, which can result in system instability.
Differential control is normally not required for flow, pressure and
temperature control.

Setting Parameters
Setting the PID parameters

Values for the PID parameters must be chosen depending on the
application. and the systems control characteristics. To ensure
correct PID closed loop control, the following points should be
observed:
Stable steady-state behaviour,

Fast reaction
Small system deviation in the steady state.
Parameters Kp, Ti and Kd must be set within the stable operating

range. As a general rule, increasing one of the parameters Kp, Ki
(= reduction of Ti) and Kd results in a system with a faster
response. A very large increase however, causes system instability,
as the returned actual value increases and decreases continuously
as if subject to oscillation. In the worst case, divergent behaviour
will be the result (a Fig. 84 to Fig. 87):

Internal regulator-based calculations

All calculations within the PID algorithm are carried out in percentages, so that different physical units can be used, such as
Pressure (N/m2),
Flow rate (m3/min),
Temperature (C), etc.
The setpoint and returned actual values can, for example, also be
compared as percentages.
88
A useful scaling function (PNU A75) is also available. When these

parameters are used, you can define the setpoint directly as the
required physical quantity and/or display setpoint and actual
values as physical quantities suitable for the process.
Additionally, analog signal matching (PNU A11 to A14) is available, with which a range based on the actual value feedback can
be defined. The following graphs illustrate the mode of operation
of this function.
09/01 AWB8230-1412GB
PID controller
Setpoint definition
There are three ways of entering the setpoints:
Actual value feedback and actual value signal matching

You can specify the actual value signal as follows:
Keypad
Digital control signal terminal input (4 bit)
Analog input (terminals O-L or OI-L)
With an analog voltage on control signal terminal O

(maximum 10 V)
With an analog current on control signal terminal OI
(maximum 20 mA)
If the digital setpoints are defined through the control signal terminals, define the required setpoint value in PNU A21 to A35. The
setting procedure is similar to the one which is used in frequency
regulation mode (i.e. with a deactivated PID controller) for setting
the respective fixed frequencies (a Section Fixed frequency FF1
to FF4 selection, Page 56).
One of the two methods mentioned is selected via PNU A76.

To adapt the operation of the PID controller to the respective application, the actual value feedback signal can also be matched as
shown in Figure 89:

Analog actual value signal matching
As evident from the graphs, the setpoint value must be within the
valid range on the vertical axis if you have set functions PNU A11
and A12 to a value not equal to 0. Because there is no feedback
signal, stable control cannot otherwise be guaranteed. This means
that the frequency inverter will either
output the maximum frequency,
go to stop mode,
or output a lower limit frequency.

09/01 AWB8230-1412GB
Setting Parameters
Scaling adjustment
Scaling adjustment and scaling allow the setpoint and actual value
to be displayed and the setpoint value to be entered directly in the
correct physical unit. For this purpose, 100 % of the returned
actual value is taken as a basis. By default, inputs and displays are
based on 0 to 100 %.
Example: In the first diagram in Figure 89, 20 mA of the feedback

signal correspond to 100 % of the PID internal factor. If for
example the current flow is 60 m3/min with a feedback signal of
20 mA, the parameter is set to 0.6 with PNU A75 (= 60/100). With
PNU d04, the process corrected value can be displayed and the
setpoint value can be entered directly as a process corrected
quantity.

Summary of the relevant parameters

With the DF5 series frequency inverters, the same parameters are
used for both the frequency control mode and the PID mode. The
designations of the respective parameter only relate to the
PNU
90
frequency control mode, however, as this mode is used in most

cases. When the PID mode is used, some of the parameters have
other designations.
The following table contains an explanation of these parameters
in conjunction with the frequency control mode as well as the PID

Settings in the frequency control mode

Before you use the PID mode, you must configure the parameters
in frequency control mode. Observe the following two points:
Acceleration and deceleration ramp
The output frequency calculated by the PID algorithm is not immediately available on the frequency inverter output, as the output
frequency is affected by the set acceleration and deceleration
times. Even when, for example, a large D component is defined,
the current output frequency is significantly influenced by the
acceleration and deceleration time, and this causes unstable regulation.
To achieve stable behaviour in each PID closed loop control range,
the acceleration and deceleration times should be set as low as
possible.
Actual value input
After every acceleration and deceleration ramp parameter change,

parameters PNU A72, A73 and A74 must be rematched.
Frequency jumps/range
Frequency jumps must be defined to meet the following requirement: A change to the feedback actual value signal must not occur
during execution of a frequency jump. If a stable operating point
exists within a frequency jump range, operation between both end
values of this range occurs.
Configuration of setpoint value and actual value
In PID mode, you must first of all specify how the setpoint is to be
defined and where the actual value is to be supplied. The following
table provides the required settings:

It is not impossible to enter the setpoint value and the actual value
through the same analog input terminal.
Please note that the frequency inverter brakes and stops according
to the set deceleration ramp as soon as a stop command is issued
during PID operation.
Scaling
Please set the scaling to the process-corrected physical quantity as
required by your application, i.e. to flow, pressure, temperature,
etc. For a detailed description, see Section Scaling adjustment,
Page 90.
Setpoint adjustment via digital inputs
The following points must be observed when setting the setpoint
via digital inputs (4 bit):
Assignment of the digital inputs

The DF5 series have five programmable digital inputs. Assign the
functions FF1 to FF4 to four of the inputs. Use PNU C01 to C05 for
this purpose, corresponding to the inputs 1 to 5 of the frequency
inverter.
Adjustment of the setpoint values
First of all, select the required number of different setpoints (up to
16) from the following table. Under PNU A21 (corresponds to the
first setpoint) to A35 (corresponds to 15th setpoint), enter the
required setpoint. PNU A20 and F01 correspond to setpoint 0.
h If the setpoints are to be scaled, note that the setpoints
must be entered as process-corrected quantity values in

accordance with this scaling.

As for the parameter changes, check the output frequency or the

Fig. 87, Page 86).
Setpoint value 1 (PNU A21)
Use two different setpoint values and switch between them using
the digital control signal terminals.
The output should then always exhibit a stable behaviour.

and the D component.

First of all, set a small P component via PNU A72 and check the
result.
If necessary, slowly increase this value until an acceptable
output behaviour has been achieved.
Alternatively, set a very large P component and observe the behaviour of the output signal. If the behaviour is unstable, set a lower
value and observe the result. Repeat this process.
If the behaviour is unstable, reduce the P component.
The P component is correct when the system deviation reaches a
static state within acceptable limits.
Setting the integral component and matching Kp
First of all, define a very small integral component in PNU A73.
X Set the P component a little lower.
X
If, for example, you only require up to four different setpoint

values, only FF1 and FF2 need to be used; for five to eight different
setpoint values, only FF1 to FF3 are required.
Activating PID mode
X Set PNU A71 to 01.
If the system deviation does not decrease, reduce the integral

component a little. If the performance becomes unstable as a
result, reduce the P component.
X
You can make this setting at the very start, before making all other
settings.
Repeat this process until you have found the correct parameter
settings.
Note about the automatic voltage regulation (AVR)

function
If you have set the AVR function (PNU A81) to 02, whereby the
automatic voltage regulation function with an active PID closed
loop control is deactivated only during deceleration of the motor,
the motor may, depending on the application, start to knock. In
such cases, the motor accelerates and decelerates repeatedly and
smooth running of the motor is not guaranteed. In this case, set
the AVR function to 01 (OFF).

inverters output frequency increases if the feedback signal is less
than the setpoint and falls if the feedback signal is greater than the
setpoint. With temperature control, the opposite behaviour must
be implemented: if the temperature is above the setpoint, the

inverter must increase its output frequency to increase the speed
of the connected fan.

Automatic voltage regulation

(AVR)
Automatic voltage regulation (AVR)

The AVR function stabilizes the motor voltage if there are fluctuations on the DC bus voltage. These deviations result from, for
example:
Unstable mains supplies or
DC bus voltage dips or peaks caused by short acceleration and
deceleration times.
Regenerative motor operation (without AVR function) results in a

rise in the DC bus voltage in the deceleration phase (particularly
with very short deceleration times), which also leads to a corresponding rise in the motor voltage. The increase in the motor
voltage causes an increase in the braking torque. For this reason,
you can deactivate the AVR function for deceleration under
PNU A81.
A stable motor voltage provides a high level of torque, particularly

during acceleration.

Warning!
When a fault has occurred, this function initiates an automatic restart of the frequency inverter if a start command
is present after the set waiting time has expired. Ensure
an automatic restart does not present a danger for
personnel.
With the default settings, each malfunction triggers a fault

message. An automatic restart is possible after the following fault
messages have occurred:
Overcurrent (PNU E01 to E04, up to four restart attempts within
10 minutes before a fault message is issued)
Overvoltage (PNU E07 and E15, up to three restart attempts
within 10 minutes before a fault message is issued)

Carrier frequency
Initialization
High carrier frequencies result in less motor noise and lower power
losses in the motor but a higher dissipation in the power amplifiers
and more noise in the mains and motor cables. You should therefore set the carrier frequency as low as possible.
Two different types of initialization are available:
During DC braking, the carrier frequency is automatically reduced

to 1 kHz.

7 Messages
In this section, the messages issued by the DF5 series frequency

inverters are listed and explained.
Fault messages
At overcurrent, overvoltage and undervoltage conditions, the
output of the DF5 series frequency inverters is shut down to
protect against damage. The connected motor then coasts to a
stop. The inverter remains in this condition until the fault message
is acknowledged with the OFF key or the RST input.
Display
Cause
Description
E 01
Overcurrent in the output stage in

static operation
E 02
Overcurrent in the output stage

during deceleration
If the output current reaches a level which is too high, the output voltage is shut down.
This happens when
there is a short-circuit on the output of the frequency inverter,
the motor is blocked,
the effective load on the output is too high.
E 03
Overcurrent in the output stage

during acceleration
E 04
Overcurrent in the output stage in

standstill
E 05
Overload
The internal electronic motor protection has switched off the output voltage because the motor was
overloaded.
E 07
Overvoltage
The output voltage has been switched off because the motor was operating regeneratively.
E 08
EEPROM fault
If the program memory does not operate reliably due to radio frequency interference or excessive
temperature, the output voltage is switched off.
If the supply voltage is switched off while the RST input is active, an EEPROM fault occurs when the
supply voltage is reapplied.
E 09
Undervoltage
If the DC voltage is too low, the output voltage is switched off (correct function of the electronics is
no longer possible; problems such as overheating of the motor and insufficient torque may arise).
E 11
Processor malfunction
The processor does not operate correctly. The output voltage is switched off.
E 12
External fault message
The output voltage is switched off due to an external fault message which is present on a digital
input configured as an EXT input.
E 13
Restart inhibit activated
The mains voltage was switched on or a brief interruption in the supply voltage has occurred while
the restart inhibit (input USP) was active.
E 14
Ground fault
Earth faults between the U, V or W terminals and earth are being reliably detected. A protective
circuit prevents destruction of the frequency inverter, but does not protect the operating personnel.
E 15
Mains overvoltage
If the supply voltage is higher than permitted, the output voltage is switched off 100 s after the
voltage supply has been switched on.
E 21
Over temperature
If the temperature sensor installed in the power section records an operating temperature above the
permissible limit value, the output voltage is switched off.
E 22
Processor malfunction
The processor does not operate correctly. The output voltage is switched off.
E 35
PTC fault message
If the resistance of the external PTC thermistor connected to the PTC input (digital input configured
as a PTC thermistor input) is too high, the output voltage is switched off.

Remedy
The motor will not

start.
There is no voltage
present at outputs U,
V and W.
Is voltage applied to terminals L, N and/or L1, L2

and L3? If yes, is the ON lamp lit?
Check terminals L1, L2, L3 and U, V, W.

Switch on the supply voltage.
Does the LED display on the keypad indicate a

fault (E )?
Analyze the cause of the fault signal (a Section

Messages, Page 103). Acknowledge the fault
message with the reset command (e.g. by pressing the OFF key).
Has a start command been issued?
Issue the start command with the ON key or

through the FWD/REV input.
Has a frequency setpoint value been entered

under PNU F01 (keypad operation only)?
Enter a frequency setpoint value under PNU F01.
Are the setpoint definitions via the potentiometer

correctly wired to terminals H, O and L?
Check that the potentiometer is connected

correctly.
Are inputs O and/or OI correctly connected for

external setpoint definition?
Check that the setpoint signal is correctly

connected.
Are the digital inputs configured as RST or FRS

still active?
Deactivate RST and/or FRS.

Check the signal on digital input 5
(default setting: RST).
Has the correct source for the frequency setpoint

(PNU A01) been set?
Has the correct source for the start command
(PNU A02) been set?
Correct PNU A01 accordingly.

Correct PNU A02 accordingly. (a Section
Setting the frequency and start command parameters, Page 78 )
There is voltage
present at outputs U,
V and W.
Is the motor blocked or is the motor load

too high?
Reduce the load acting on the motor.

Test the motor without load.
Are output terminals U, V and W correctly

connected? Does the connection of terminals U, V
and W correspond with the direction of rotation
of the motor?
Connect output terminals U, V and W correctly to

the motor according to the required direction of
motor rotation (generally the sequence U, V, W
causes clockwise rotation).
Are the control signal terminals correctly wired?
Use control signal terminal FWD for clockwise

rotation, REV for anticlockwise rotation.
Has PNU F04 been correctly configured?
Set the required direction of rotation under

PNU F04.
A setpoint value is not present on terminal O

and/or OI.
Check the potentiometer or the external setpoint

generator and replace if necessary.
Is a fixed frequency accessed?
Observe the sequence of priority: the fixed

frequencies always have priority over the inputs
O and OI.
Is the motor load too high?
Reduce the motor load as the overload limit will

prevent the motor reaching its normal speed if
there is an overload.
The motor turns in

the wrong direction.
The motor will not

start.

higher performance.
Reduce the level of load changes.
Do resonant frequencies occur on the motor?
Mask these frequencies with the frequency jumps

(PNU A63 to A68, a Section Operating
frequency range, Page 83) or change the pulse
frequency (PNU b83, a Section Carrier
frequency, Page 101).
Is the maximum frequency set correctly?
Check the set frequency range or the set voltage/

frequency characteristic.
Are the rated speed of the motor and the gearbox

reduction ratio correctly selected?
Check the rated motor speed or the gearbox

reduction ratio.
The supply voltage was switched off before the

entered values were saved by pressing the ENTER
key.
Reenter the affected parameters and save the

input again.
After the supply voltage was switched off, the

entered and saved values are transferred into the
internal EEPROM. The supply voltage should
remain off for at least six seconds.
Enter the data again and switch off the supply

voltage for at least six seconds.
The values of the

copy unit were not
accepted by the
frequency inverter.
After copying the parameters of the external

keypad DEX-KEY-10 into the frequency inverter,
the supply voltage was left on for less than six
seconds.
Copy the data again and leave the supply voltage

on for at least six seconds after completion.
The motor cannot be

started or stopped or
setpoint values
cannot be set.
Are PNU A01 and A02 set correctly?
Check the settings under PNU A01 and A02

(a Section Setting the frequency and start
command parameters, Page 78).
No parameters can
be set or changed.
Has the software parameter protection been

activated?
Deactivate the parameter protection with

PNU b31 (a Section Parameter protection,
Page 100), so that all parameters can be
changed again.
Has the hardware parameter protection been

activated?
Deactivate the digital input configured as SFT

(a Section Software protection SFT,
Page 66).
Is DIP switch position 4 (external keypad

DEX-KEY-10) set to ON?
Set switch 4 to the OFF position so that data can

be read from the remote operating unit.
Is the manual boost set too high?

Were the correct settings made for the electronic
motor protection?
Check the boost setting and the electronic motor

protection setting. (a Section Voltage/
frequency characteristics and boost, Page 81)
The drive speed does

not correspond with
the frequency
The saved parameters do not correspond to the entered

values.
Entered values have

not been saved.
It is not possible to
make any inputs.
The electronic motor

protection activates
(fault message:
E 05).
To be observed when saving changed parameters:

After saving changed parameters with the ENTER key, no inputs
can be made using the keypad of the frequency inverter for at least
six seconds. If, however, a key is pressed before this time elapses,
or if the reset command is issued or the frequency inverter is switched off, the data may not be correctly saved.

RFI filters have discharge currents to earth, which can be higher
than the nominal values in the event of a fault (phase failure, load
unbalance). To avoid dangerous voltages, the filters must be
earthed before use.
For discharge currents f 3.5 mA, VDE 0160 and EN 60335
specify that
the protective conductor must have a cross-section f 10 mm2
or
a second protective conductor must be connected, or
the continuity of the protective conductor must be monitored.

Method of operation
The frequency inverter can be started via terminal 1 in a clockwise
direction and via terminal 2 in an anticlockwise direction. If both
terminals are closed simultaneously, a stop command is issued.
With the externally connected potentiometer, the required
frequency setpoint (voltage setpoint) can be defined.
The measurement device can be used to display the frequency
(PNU C23 = 00) or the motor current (PNU C23 = 01). With
PNU b81, you can adjust analog output FM to the corresponding
measurement range of the measurement device (frequency or
current can be displayed).
Method of operation
Inputs 1 and 2 function exactly as described in the previous
example.
With digital input 3 (configured as AT), you can switch over from
a voltage setpoint value (0 to 10 V) to a current setpoint value
(4 to 20 mA).
Instead of the wiring on terminal 3, which is fixed or realized using
a switch, you can set PNU A13 to 01. Digital input 3 is then configured as a break contact (NC).
The circuit example also includes the connection of the motor PTC
thermistor. It is important to use a screened control cable and to
lay the motor PTC thermistor cable separately from the other
motor cables. However, the screen should be grounded at the
inverter side only.

With the activation of one or both fixed frequency inputs FF1 and
FF2, the current frequency setpoint applied to the motor is
replaced by the fixed frequency determined by FF1 and FF2, and
the motor brakes or accelerates according to the fixed frequency
applied. If neither of the fixed frequency inputs FF1 and FF2 is activated, the frequency setpoint is determined through analog inputs
O (voltage setpoint value) or OI (current setpoint value). The
wiring for these terminals is not shown in this circuit example. For
the combination of the individual fixed frequency values, see
Section Fixed frequency FF1 to FF4 selection, Page 56.
The circuit example also includes the parameter definition for one
output signal each on terminals 11 and 12. The type of output
signal is configured with PNU C21 for digital output 11 and with
C22 for digital output 12.

h Field wiring must be made by a UL-listed and CSA-
certified closed-loop terminal connector sized for the wire

gauge involved. Connector must be fixed by using the
crimping tool specified by the connector manufacturer.
h Be sure to consider the capacity of the circuit-breaker

to be used.
h Be sure to use larger wires for the power lines if the

distance exceeds 20 meters.
Terminal Dimensions and Tightening Torque

The terminal screw dimensions for all DF5 inverters are listed in
Table 3 (a Page 30) and Table 5 (a Page 36). This information
is useful in sizing spade lug or ring lug connectors for wire
terminations.
When connecting wiring, use the tightening torque listed in the
above mentioned tables to safely attach wiring to the connectors.
Warning!
When PNU b12 (level of electronic thermal setting) is set
to device FLA, device provides Solid State motor overload
protection at 115 % of device FLA or equivalent.
This PNU b12 (level of electronic thermal setting) is a
variable parameter (a Section Electronic motor protection, Page 98).
