1.2 Important safety information. Hazards. Competence of
designers and installers
This guide applies to products which control electric motors either directly (drives) or indirectly
(controllers, option modules and other auxiliary equipment and accessories). In all cases the

SI-DCP (DCP 3/4) Set-


up, Configuration
hazards associated with powerful electrical drives are present, and all safety information relating to
drives and associated equipment must be observed.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
Drives and controllers are intended as components for professional incorporation into complete
systems. If installed incorrectly they may present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltages and
currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can
cause injury. Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid

User Menu A
hazards either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design,
installation, commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have
the necessary training and competence. They must read this safety information and this guide
carefully.

1.3 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is installed correctly with regard

Diagnostic
to all instructions given in this guide. They must give due consideration to the safety of the complete
system, so as to avoid the risk of injury both in normal operation and in the event of a fault or of
reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent
or incorrect installation of the equipment.
DCP- Connection

1.4 Compliance with regulations


Diagram

The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national wiring
regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations.
Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection of fuses
or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
Sequence diagrams

This guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific EMC standards.
All machinery to be supplied within the European Union in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC Safety of machinery.
2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.

SI-DCP (DCP 3/4) Set-up Guide 5


Issue Number: 1
1.5 Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal.
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous
voltage may be present in any of the following locations:
• AC and DC supply cables and connections
• Output cables and connections
• Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be touched.
The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access
to the electrical connections.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the
output of the drive or from any external option unit.
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in this guide. Failure to
observe the instructions could result in a fire hazard.

1.6 Stored electrical charge


The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply
has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least
ten minutes before work may continue.

1.7 Mechanical hazards


Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or controller which might result in a
hazard, either through their intended behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any
application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow damage,
loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to
reduce the risk - for example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed
control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the drive functions must be
used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related application. The system designer is
responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by personnel with the required
training and experience. The Safe Torque Off function will only ensure the safety of a machine if it is
correctly incorporated into a complete safety system. The system must be subject to a risk
assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at an acceptable level for the
application.

1.8 Access to equipment


Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place
of use must be complied with.

1.9 Environmental limits


Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the equipment must
be complied with, including the specified environmental limits. This includes temperature, humidity,
contamination, shock and vibration. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.

Issue Number: 1
1.10 Hazardous environments

Safety information
The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment (i.e. a potentially explosive
environment).

1.11 Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less effective,

Introduction
causing a fire hazard. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric forced vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor. The default
values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is essential that the correct value is entered in the
Motor Rated Current parameter.

E300 Elevator
Drive Keypad
1.12 Mechanical brake control
Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an external brake
with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high standards of quality and
robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure would
result in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect operation of the brake release

SI-DCP (DCP 3/4) Set-


mechanism could result in injury, independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be

up, Configuration
incorporated.

1.13 Adjusting parameters


Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not be altered
without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to
prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.

User Menu A
1.14 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Installation instructions for a range of EMC environments are provided in the relevant Power
Installation Guide. If the installation is poorly designed or other equipment does not comply with
suitable standards for EMC, the product might cause or suffer from disturbance due to
electromagnetic interaction with other equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the equipment or system into which the product is incorporated complies with the relevant EMC
legislation in the place of use.

The SI-DCP option communications cable should not run parallel to any power cables, especially
ones that connect the drive to the Motor or braking resistor circuit. If parallel runs are unavoidable,
ensure a minimum spacing of 300 mm (1 ft) between the communications cable and the power
cable. Cables crossing one another at right angles are unlikely to give trouble.
The maximum cable length for a EIA- RS485 jumper (link) is 1200 metres (4,000 ft). This is at low
baud rates only. The higher the baud rate the lower the maximum cable length. It is recommended
that the shield of the communications cable be connected by a low inductance path to a ‘clean’
ground point. This must only be done at one pointc

If a Card Rating trip (186) occurs the parameter data is being transferred from a SMARTCARD, NV
Media Card to the drive, but the current and / or voltage ratings are different between source and
destination drives.
This trip also applies if a compare (using parameter mm000 set to 8yyy) is attempted between the
data block on a SMARTCARD, NV Media Card and the drive. The Card Rating trip (186) does not
stop the data transfer but is a warning that rating specific parameters with the RA attribute may not
be transferred to the destination drive.
Recommended actions
• Reset the drive to clear the trip
• Ensure that the drive rating dependent
• parameters have transferred correctly

When transferring parameters from one drive to another C13 Position Feedback Phase Angle is also
copied. If the phase angle between drives and motors is different, it should be noted before and
restored after the SMARTCARD, NV Media Card transfer.

frequency being 16 kHz. Higher switching frequencies will provide operation with lower acoustic
noise at the Motor. Switching frequency modulation under higher levels of load, current is active.
4.3.5 Adjusting Symmetrical Current Limit
The final setting for A24 / B16 Symmetrical Current Limit (default = 175 % RFC-A and RFC-S) will be
dependent upon a number of factors including the Motor, Drive rating, and Elevator system profile.
• Symmetrical current limit: A24 / B16 = … %
4.3.6 Auto Tuning
When carrying out an auto-tune using A26 / B11 the following tests will be done automatically.
• Measurement of motor stator resistance and inductance
• Automatic set-up of the current loop gains Start I03, I04 and Run I08, I09
• Set-up of the Motor power factor (RFC-A) B04
• Set-up the position feedback phase offset angle (RFC-S) A16 / C13
