EXAMPLE OF MAIN CIRCUIT WIRING
(Note 1) AC Drive input / output terminals

The AC Drive input terminals are L1, L2 & L3. The output terminals to the Spindle are U, V & W.
Connect the power supply to input terminals L1, L2 & L3 only. Never connect the power supply to
the U, V, and W terminals. Incorrect wiring will lead to AC Drive damage or fires.
(Note 2) Wire size

Use wires having the size (or larger) shown in the below table for the main circuit wiring shown in
the above figure. The applicable wire size range, applicable ring terminal and tightening torque for
the main circuit terminals are shown in the table.

(Note 3) Breaker for wiring

Install circuit breaker or fuse on the power supply side of the AC Drive. Refer to table and select
the Circuit Breaker or Fuses.
(Note 4) Power supply capacity

Make sure that the capacity of the transformer used as the AC Drive’s power supply is 10 times
(or less) AC Drive capacity (for 4% impedance transformer). If the above value is exceeded or
multiple drives are being fed from the same line with only the wiring impedance between them,
install an ACL on the AC Drive’s input side.
If improperly sized, the voltage drop on a line reactor can reduce the voltage on drive terminals
especially at high load. In that case the Spindle current will also increase and DC Bus under
voltage fault may occur.
(Note 5) Noise filter

2-3
The AC Drive will generate high harmonic electromagnetic noise, so using the following noise
measures is recommended.
• Insert a noise filter on the input side of the AC Drive. Contact Amtech to select the proper
noise filter.
• Keep the wiring length between the noise filter and AC Drive to 500 mm (19.69”) or less.
• Use a shield cable for the AC Drive and Spindle wiring and connect the screen to the AC
Drive’s terminal.
• When using the control circuit wiring and power circuit wiring in parallel, separate the wiring
by 300mm (11.8”) or more or pass each of the wiring through separate metal conduits. If the
control circuit wiring and main circuit wiring intersect, make sure that they intersect at a right
angle.
(Note 6) AC Drive output

Do not insert a power factor improvement capacitor on the output side of the AC Drive. When
inserting a magnetic contactor on the output side of the AC Drive, prepare a sequence control
circuit so that the magnetic contactor will not open and close when the AC Drive is running.
(Note 7) Grounding
Always ground the AC Drive unit according to the regulations of the country where the AC Drive is
being used.
(Note 8) AC Drive output surge voltage

As the AC Drive output cable is lengthened, the surge voltage applied on the Spindle also
increases. If the wiring between the AC Drive and Spindle exceeds 20 meters (65.6”), connect a
surge absorber dedicated for the AC Drive output.
(Note 9) DCL
Always short across L+1 and L+2 when not using the DCL (factory setting state). When
connecting the optional DCL, connect it to L+1 and L+2. Twist the wiring to the DCL, and keep the
wiring length to 5 meters (16.4”) or less.
(Note 10) DB Unit

When connecting an optional DB unit, make the connections as shown in the main circuit wiring.
The DB unit and AC Drive unit will damage if the connections are incorrect. Twist the wiring to the
DB unit, and keep length to 3 meters (9.8”) or less.
When using the external DB unit, use the overload detection relay or thermal relay to protect the
DB resistor and AC Drive.
(Note 11) Surge absorber

Install a surge absorber on the magnetic contactor and relay coils installed near the AC Drive.
(Note 12) Voltage Selection for the auxiliary equipment Power Supply (Applicable to models
above 22kW)
Ensure appropriate tapping for the control transformer, which provides the power supply to the
auxiliary equipments like fan/blower, soft charge contactor etc. Note that this not applicable to the
models up to 22kW.

(Note 13) Output Transformer
Output transformer must be custom designed for each drive and required voltage frequency of
Spindle. If the output transformer is not properly sized, drive and/or spindle may damage.
¾ In high frequency application when spindle voltage is significantly lower (360V) than the line
voltage available.
¾ For increasing the output current without increasing the drive current rating (output voltage
reduction).
2-3 Precautions For Wiring To Control Signals

9 When wiring (control circuit wiring) to the control terminal block, separate the main circuit wiring
(terminals L1, L2, L3, L+1, L+2, L-, U, V, W) and the other drive wires and power wires.
9 Use a 0.13mm2 (AWG 26) to 0.8mm² (AWG 18) wire for wiring to the control circuit. The
tightening torque must be 0.6N.m (5.3lb-inch).
9 Use a twisted pair wire or twisted pair shield wire for wiring to the analog signal circuit such as
the analog references and meters. Connect the shield wire to the 0V terminal of the unit. The
wire length must be 30 meters (98.4”) or less.
9 The length of the sequence input/output contact wire must be 50 meters (164”) or less.
9 The sequence input can be changed between sink logic and source logic by changing the jumper
position JP1 in PCA-2014A between “SINK” and “SOURCE” position respectively. Open cover
designated as “Control Unit” to access this jumper.
9 Observe the precautions listed in “5. Control Input/Output Terminals”
9 After wiring, always check the mutual wiring.
9 At this time do not carry out a megger check or buzzer check on the control circuit.
• Are there any wire scraps or foreign matter left around the terminals?
• Are any screws loose?
• Is the wiring correct?
• Is any terminal contacting any other terminal?
If so, take the necessary corrective measures before proceeding further.

will ramp to this frequency, when start command is given. It can be set in Hz (0.1 resolution) or in
KRPM (0.01 resolution) according to selection of unit in A107.
The minimum limit for this parameter is decided by minimum frequency A102. If A102 is set higher

The maximum value of this parameter is decided by Maximum frequency A103. The value of A101
cannot be set higher than A103.
A102: Minimum Frequency (Hz)

This is the minimum output frequency of the AC Drive. It can be set in Hz (0.1 resolution) or in KRPM

M102 at Maximum Frequency (A103).
If the value of Maximum Frequency (A103) = 1800Hz & value entered in A105 = 108000.
Then, at 600Hz the Spindle speed M102 will show (108000 X 600 / 1800) i.e. 3600 rpm.

GROUP – 2: ACCELERATION / DECELERATION
A201: Acceleration Time-1 (Sec)

Acceleration Time-1 is the time taken by AC Drive output frequency to ramp up from zero frequency to
maximum frequency A103.
Short acceleration time can result in excessive output current and if it exceeds the acceleration
current limit B303, the acceleration will cease until the current reduces below the B303 value. In such
case, the actual acceleration time will differ from programmed value. The AC Drive may trip in over
current fault if the condition persists for long time. Increase acceleration time in such cases.

Deceleration Time-1 is the time taken by AC Drive output frequency to ramp down from maximum
frequency A103 to zero frequency.
Short deceleration time can result in excessive output current and if it exceeds the stall current limit
B301, the deceleration will cease until the current reduces below the B301 value. In such case, the
actual deceleration time will differ from programmed value. The AC Drive may trip in over current / dc
bus over voltage fault if the condition persists for long time. Increase deceleration time in such cases.

These are the acceleration / deceleration time for the stall current limit function. When the AC Drive is
operating at set frequency and output current exceeds the stall current limit B301 value, the output
frequency and voltage are reduced. The deceleration time is decided by current limit deceleration time
A209. The dc bus voltage will rise in this process. If DC bus voltage control (B307=1) is enabled, it will
stop the deceleration, if dc bus voltage exceeds 740Vdc level. This level is factory settable. The
deceleration will resume, if dc link voltage reaches to 710V (hysteresis of 30V) and the output current

is still higher than the stall current limit. When the output current falls below the stall current limit, the
output frequency and output voltage will ramp up with current limit acceleration time A208 to set
frequency value.

GROUP – 3: START / STOP SELECTION & DC BRAKING
A301: Start Control

The AC Drive can be started from Local (Digital Operation Panel), Terminal or Serial irrespective of
the frequency reference input. However, the direction will be decided as per the start control selection
only. When the start control is Local, the direction can only be changed through Digital Operation
Panel. The same applies to other selections also.
If in running condition, start control is changed from Local to Terminal, the operation will continue as
per the status of the new selection. For example, present selection is Local. Now if in running
condition, the selection is changed to Terminal. If RUN signal is present in terminal mode, the AC
Drive will continue running. If RUN signal is absent, the AC Drive will stop. When the selection is
changed from Terminal to any other mode (Local or Serial), AC Drive will continue its operation as per
the status of Terminal and not as per the new selection (Local or Serial).
A302: Maintained Start / Stop

When using Terminal as start control (A301=2), this parameter gives the choice of having maintained
or momentary contacts for start or stop.

A303: Start Delay Time (Sec)

The Spindle will be delayed start from the run command by the set time. This is used for
synchronization with peripheral machines such as mechanical brakes. The start command can be
from Digital Operation Panel (keypad), Terminal or Serial.
The start delay time is also applicable to Jog Select input.
A304: Stop Mode

This parameter allows the user to select the stop mode. If A304=0 selected, the output will ramp down
to stop with deceleration time after the stop command and then applying the dc brake (if programmed)
to stop. If A304=1 selected, the output will be turned off simultaneously with the stop command. The
dc braking will not be applicable in this mode. The Spindle will stop depending on its inertia.
To restart after coast to stop, confirm that the Spindle has stopped. The AC Drive may trip if
attempted when the Spindle is running. (Enable the speed search function in such applications.)
A305: Spindle Direction

This parameter allows the user to set the Spindle direction, when Start control selection is local
(Digital Operation Panel) A301=1. Set A305=0, to rotate the Spindle in forward direction and A305=1
to rotate the Spindle in reverse direction in Local mode.
When A301=2: Terminal, the direction of rotation is determined by the status of programmable
sequence input.
A306: DC Brake Start Frequency (Hz)

This is the frequency at which the dc brake will be applied. To enable this feature, the stop mode
should be ramp down and the dc braking time should not be zero. If dc braking time is zero, this
feature will be disabled.
A307: DC Brake Current (%)

This parameter decides the dc brake current.
A308: DC Brake Time (Sec)

This parameter decides the length of time for which dc braking is on.
When the stop mode is ramp down and stop command is issued, the output will ramp down with
deceleration time. When the AC Drive output reaches to dc braking start frequency, the dc voltage is
injected to the Spindle. The amount of voltage and the length of time for which it is applied are
decided by the dc braking current A307 and A308 respectively.
The dc braking is utilized to stop high inertia load forcefully. During dc braking mechanical energy
trapped in rotor due to system inertia will be dissipated as heat in the Spindle. Hence for safety dc
breaking is utilized at lower frequency.

The AC Drive can be operated in linear curve mode, Square curve or custom setting mode.
In a linear curve mode, the v/f curve will be linear through out the range from minimum frequency to
Base frequency.
In square curve, the v/f curve will be square as shown in the figure. Fan and pump application require
additional energy conservation on variable torque/ horsepower loads due to reduced output v/f at
lower frequencies. So that Fan and pump loads can be programmed with X=Y2 law.

A502: Gap Eliminator Threshold (%)

This is % of spindle rated power (B106). Gap Eliminator Threshold sets the threshold level which,
when exceeded, causes “Gap eliminator detect” (if selected in PSO or programmable relays) output to
activate and displays status “Gap Elimi On” in status line. Base load sample is taken internally after
reaching the set speed. The function will not work in Ramp up or Ramp down. Gap eliminator
threshold is added to the base load level to set the actual threshold level.
This parameter can be set individually for 15 different auxiliary spindles. (D213, D313,….., DG13).
Gap eliminator function is disable, when gap eliminator threshold value is 0.0% (default) or “16: Gap
Eli Det” option is not selected in programmable output.
The gap eliminator function is useful in applications where it is necessary to “close the gap” between a
spindle’s tool and the work piece using a fast feed rate. When the tool hits the part face and the load
threshold is exceeded, the relay is activated and the feed rate is reduced (by the user).
Volt compensation gain (A504) compensates the effect of input supply voltage variation in power
when spindle is in “Normal Run” condition but the tool is not yet in contact with the part.
Any time the spindle reaches to the “Normal Run” condition, the present load (output power) is
sampled and stored as the base load. The sampling and storage of the base load level occurs 3 sec
after “Normal Run” condition is reached.
Note:
1. It is important that the frequency reference input (0~10V or 4-20mA) remain stable during the
entire operation. Fluctuation in frequency reference may cause malfunction of gap eliminator
function.
2. Machining must not start until 3 sec after “Normal Run” condition has been reached.
Changing the spindle load during this period will cause the sampling of an improper base load
level.

The base load sample can alternatively be taken from digital input (PSI “16: Base Load Input”) by user
after reaching at set speed (“Normal Run” condition). The feature is useful in applications where the
speed is constant. By periodically taking a base load sample input, machine load variations
(temperature, time, etc.) are eliminated. This is momentary type input and once this digital input is
active, the base load sample will be taken after 1 second. Note that if the digital input is kept ON all
the time, it will not update the base load sample again. Reapply the digital input to take next sample.
When “Gap Eli Det” is selected in digital programmable sequence output (PSO) or programmable
relay output, it will activate on the output power crosses the programmed threshold level (A502) form

A503: Slip Compensation (Hz)

Set Spindle’s rated slip. When setting manually, set the slip
frequency for the Spindle rated load in respect to the base Output frequency
frequency. The output frequency changes according to the
Spindle rated torque. The output frequency will respond with a
time constant of approximately 10msec in respect to the change
in the load torque.

limit deceleration time A209. This is effective only when the AC Drive is operating at set speed. This
feature is not active while the AC Drive is accelerating or decelerating. When the current decreases
below the programmed value, the AC Drive again starts accelerating to the set speed with Current
limit acceleration time A208. This feature helps in maintaining relatively constant output torque
characteristics.

B302: Adjustable Over Current Level (%)

Set the upper current limit as a percentage of Spindle rated current. Whenever the AC Drive output
current exceeds the set value, the AC Drive trips indicating Adjustable over current fault. Always set
higher side to prevent the unnecessary tripping of the AC Drive during normal operation. This gives
the user to program the current level below the standard inverse time curve. This may be used in
cases where excessive torque shocks can lead to a harmful effect on the machinery.
The default setting of 200% disables this feature and standard inverse time trip remains in effect.

B303: Acceleration Current Limit (%)
This is acceleration current limit and effective only I
during normal acceleration. It stops the acceleration Accel current
during acceleration, if the Spindle current exceeds the limit (B303)
programmed value. When the current reduces below
the programmed value, the AC Drive again starts
accelerating to the set speed. This feature helps in

during fast acceleration.

B304: Under Current Level (%)

This feature trips the AC Drive when the current falls below the programmed value for more than 1sec
after the speed reaches its set speed. This feature is not active while the AC Drive is accelerating or
decelerating. Making this 0 will disable this.
Note: In pump applications, if the flow decreases below a minimum speed there will be cavitations.
This feature becomes useful to turn off the pump in such case.
B305: Overload Setting (%)

This is reference for the inverse time overload characteristics. Changing this parameter can change
the inverse time overload characteristics. The setting uses Spindle rated current as 100%.
The available over load is 150% for 60 seconds inverse time characteristics. Note that if 155%
of the rated current is exceeded, a trip will occur at the 160% for 10 seconds and at 170% for 4
seconds.
B306: Earth Fault Detection level

This is % of Spindle current. This decides the level for tripping because of earth fault.
B307: DC Bus voltage Control

When enabled it will stop deceleration to prevent the over voltage during deceleration condition. Refer
below figure for the functioning of dc bus voltage control. The deceleration will cease, if dc bus voltage
is >740V. It will resume only after the dc bus voltage reduces to 710V (30V hysteresis). In this case
actual deceleration time will be more than the programmed deceleration time.

B308: Reverse Direction Lock
Set this to prevent unintentional reverse direction operation. When enabled it will prevent the AC Drive
to start in reverse direction. This parameter cannot be changed during running condition.
Not: If reverse direction is locked and run command is given with reverse direction selection,
the AC Drive will not start in reverse direction.
B309: Parameter Lock

This is user programmable 4-digit password to prevent unintentional parameter change from the
digital operation panel. When programmed, it will not allow the user to change any parameter from
digital operation panel or serial link except Local Set Frequency A101 (or D206 or D306…), PID
Reference Setting C611 and terminal functions. The unit will be shipped without any password
protection. To lock the parameters, first enter your selected 4-digit password in B310 and then enter
any value other than your selected password to B309. The parameters will be locked and cannot be
changed (except the set frequency). Now, to open the lock, enter the selected password to B309. If
you have entered correct password, you will have the access of all parameters. Now you can change
the parameters, even the password. To lock the parameters again follow the same thing.
B310: Change Password

This parameter is used to change the 4-digit user password for parameter locking.
B311: Default value Load

B105, D204, D304, ….., DG04 = 1.80 KRPM
General Default Load

When set to 444, default value will be loaded in all the parameters as per 50Hz/415V. However, this
will not change the factory setting parameters, user password, C205~C216 and C219~C222.
Fault History Clear

When set to 555, the fault history buffer is cleared. No previous fault code and parameter will be
available.
Full Default Load
When set to 666, all the parameters will be set to default condition including C205~C216 and
C219~C222. However, this will not change the factory setting parameters and user password.
Note that the value entered in B311 will not be memorized. If correct value is entered, appropriate
action will be taken and “00” will be displayed. If incorrect value is entered, no action will be taken and
“00” will be displayed.
B312: Spindle Thermistor Trip

If spindle thermistor is connected to terminals CANH & CANL, user can select Spindle thermistor
function with this parameter. If “1: Enable” is selected, drive will trip in SPINDLE HOT/THERMISTOR
SHORT (“Spindle hot/short”) trip when drive will sense external resistor more than 4.2 kΩ or less than

6-33
30 Ω between CANH and CANL terminal. This function can be used to protect the spindle from over
heating.
In default condition this function is Disable.
B313: Output Current Unbalance Level (%)

Set the unbalance current level for the output. When the current unbalance exceeds the set level, the
unit will trip. Set to 0% to disable the function.
GROUP – 4: PRESET SPEED
B401 ~ B407: Preset Speed 1 ~ 7 (Hz)

This is frequency setting for different preset speeds. The drive supports eight different speeds that
can be set by three programmable sequence input using parameters C101 ~ C106, C114, C115 The
following preset speed can be selected with the sequence input commands Preset i/p-0, Preset i/p-1
and Preset i/p-2. Set desire frequencies in B401 ~ B407. When no sequence input is present, the set
frequency will be decided by the Frequency reference input A106.

selected as start control, the direction can be change only through parameter A305. When Terminal is
selected as start control, the status of sequence input terminal would decide the direction.
The preset speed can be set higher than max frequency A103 up to 1800Hz. However, the output
frequency will not exceed the maximum frequency A103.
GROUP – 5: SKIP FREQUENCY
B501: Skip Frequency 1 (Hz)

If the equipment being driven has problems due to mechanical resonance at some frequencies, the
same can be jumped over by programming them in parameters B501 ~ B503. The AC Drive output
settles for top or the bottom of the skip band, the one being closest to the desired speed. This is only
applicable during normal operation of the AC Drive. During acceleration or deceleration this parameter
will not function.

GROUP – 5: AUTO RESTART & SPEED SEARCH
C501: Number Of Restart
C502: Restart wait Time (Sec)

Restart is function to reset the fault in the AC Drive and restart automatically to continue operation if a
fault occurs. User can select these parameters to automatically restart the unit in fault condition to
provide reliability and continuity of process during fault conditions.
Programming 0 in C501 disables the restart feature. Number of restart C501 defines the number of
attempts to restart during the fault condition.
When a fault is detected, the AC Drive output is shut off for the restart wait time C502. The operation
panel displays the fault while the AC Drive output is OFF.
When the restart wait time elapses, a fault is reset automatically and speed search operation is
performed.
When the number of such attempts exceeds the number of restart C501, the faults are not reset
automatically and the AC Drive output remains OFF. At this time a fault relay is activated and the fault
data will be stored in fault history. The RUN relay will also be deactivated.

frequency deceleration time and output voltage acceleration time during the SSF can be adjusted
using C506 and C507 respectively as per the application.
C509: PLCT Time (Sec)

Power Loss Carry Through is a function that allows the AC Drive to run trip-less during the short-term
power outage / under voltage. As soon as the power outage / under voltage is detected, the AC Drive
output is turned OFF. If the supply resumes before the programmed time in C509, the AC Drive will
start with the speed search operation and reach to the set frequency. The fault relay will not be
enabled during this process nor the under voltage fault displayed on the operation panel. However, if
the power outage or under voltage condition persists for longer time than the programmed time, the
AC Drive will trip indicating under voltage fault. When programmed to 0, the PLCT feature is disabled.
Note: The time in C509 must be less than the time for which the control power supply remains
stable during the power outage or under voltage condition.

MODE – D
D101: Frequency Reference Input Selection (Multi-Spindle)

This selects the Frequency Reference for selected Spindle.
D102: O/p Transformer Secondary Selection

Select the required O/p Transformer Secondary using this parameter.
Output transformers are useful in high frequency applications when spindle voltage is significantly
lower then the available line voltage. It is also useful for increasing the output current without
increasing the drive current rating (output voltage reduction).
Note)
When using the output transformer (D102=Enable), the drive current and spindle current will be
Enter the Spindle current in DX02 (= Spindle Name plate current * B101 Rated Input voltage / Output
Transformer Secondary Voltage D103~D106), where X = 2, 3, 4…. 9, A…. G
D103: O/p Transformer Secondary 1

Enter the secondary-1 voltage of output transformer.
This is used to display the correct output voltage M203.
For example, the displayed output voltage M203= (Commanded output voltage x Output transformer
secondary voltage D103~D106) / Rated input voltage B101
D201: Spindle Voltage (Volt)

Enter Spindle nameplate voltage of Spindle-1. This is the Spindle terminal voltage during full load at
the Spindle frequency.
D202: Spindle Current (Amp)

Enter Spindle rated current from the Spindle-1 nameplate. This is full load Spindle current at spindle
frequency. The timed over current and other current related protections are based on this value. This
value cannot be set higher than AC Drive rated current M303.
Note:
When using the output transformer (D102 =Enable), the drive current and spindle current will be
Enter the Spindle current in DX02 (= Spindle Name plate current * B101 Rated Input voltage / Output
Transformer Secondary Voltage D103~D106), where X = 2, 3, 4…. 9, A…. G

6-51
D203: Spindle Frequency (Hz)
Enter Spindle base frequency from the Spindle-1 nameplate.
D204: Spindle Speed (KRPM)

Enter Spindle base speed from the Spindle-1 nameplate. When higher than this speed, the flux
control during vector control will be weakened.
D205: Spindle Type (kW)

Enter Spindle rated capacity from the Spindle-1 nameplate.
D206: Local Set Frequency (Hz)

This is the set frequency for Spindle-1 when the frequency reference input source is local (D101=1).
The output will ramp to this frequency, when start command is given. It can be set in Hz (0.1
resolution) on in KRPM (0.01 resolution) according to selection in A107.
The minimum limit for this parameter is decided by minimum frequency D207.
The maximum value of this parameter is decided by Maximum frequency D208. The value of D206
cannot be set higher than D208.
D207: Minimum Frequency (Hz)

This is the minimum output frequency of the AC Drive when Spindle-1 is selected. It can be set in Hz
(0.1 resolution) on in KRPM (0.01 resolution) according to selection in A107.
In terminal mode, this is the minimum output attained with minimum analog input reference. This
value should always be lower then the maximum frequency D208. The minimum frequency will be
reached after start command with selected acceleration ramp up time.
D208: Maximum Frequency (Hz)

This is the maximum output frequency of the AC Drive when Spindle-1 is selected. It can be set in Hz
(0.1 resolution) on in KRPM (0.01 resolution) according to selection in A107.
In terminal mode, this is the maximum output attained with maximum analog input reference.
D209: Line Speed Setting (rpm)

The set value will be displayed as Spindle speed in M102 at Maximum Frequency (D208) when this
Spindle-1 is selected.
If the value of Maximum Frequency (D208) = 1800 Hz. & D209 = 108000.
Now, at 600Hz the Spindle speed M102 will show (108000 X 600 / 1800) i.e. 3600 rpm.
In default condition, at zero value Spindle speed (D204) will be displayed as spindle speed in M102 at
Maximum Frequency (D208).
D210: Acceleration Time-1 (Sec)

Acceleration Time-1 is the time taken by AC Drive output frequency to ramp up from zero frequency to
maximum frequency D208, when Spindle-1 is selected.
Short acceleration time can result in excessive output current and if it exceeds the Acceleration
current limit B303, the acceleration will cease until the current reduces below the B303 value. In such
case, the actual acceleration time will differ from programmed value. The AC Drive may trip in timed
over current fault if the condition persists for long time. Increase acceleration time in such cases.
Amtech

D211: Deceleration Time-1 (Sec)
frequency D208 to zero frequency.
Short deceleration time can result in excessive output current and if it exceeds the Stall current limit
B301, the deceleration will cease until the current reduces below the B301 value. In such case, the
actual deceleration time will differ from programmed value. The AC Drive may trip in timed over
current / dc bus over voltage fault if the condition persists for long time. Increase deceleration time in
such cases.
D212: Manual Torque Boost setting (%)

This parameter is for the Spindle-1. When setting manually, set the boost voltage at 0Hz as a
percentage in respect to the Spindle voltage D201. When programmed to zero, it will be disabled.
D213: Gap Eliminator Threshold (%)

It is gap eliminator threshold level (% of rated power) for the Spindle-1.For gap eliminator function see
description of parameter A502.
D214: V/F Selection

Select appropriate v/f curve as per the application.
The AC Drive can be operated in linear curve mode, Square curve or custom setting mode.
In a linear curve mode, the v/f curve will be linear through out the range from minimum frequency to
Base frequency.
In square curve, the v/f curve will be square as shown in the figure. Fan and pump application require
additional energy conservation on variable torque/ horsepower loads due to reduced output v/f at
lower frequencies. So that Fan and pump loads can be programmed with X=Y2 law.
The custom mode setting allows the user to set different v/f points on characteristic curve using
parameters D215~ D220.

CHAPTER- 9: OPTIONS
Besides the standard features available in the Axpert Eazy HF series AC Drive, which satisfies most
of the industrial applications, AMTECH offers its users a spectrum of optional products designed to
match their requirement.
The list of optional products offered by AMTECH herewith is all developed, field tested and
commissioned at various locations in India. A brief description of the option is given. Contact
AMTECH with relevant data to design one for you.
Green Power Technology
Non-linear loads like AC Drive, UPS, Converters etc. draw power from mains in a way, which
introduce harmonic currents into the mains. They behave like harmonic source, which feeds harmonic
to all the equipments, connected with the power source. IEEE STD 519: 1992; IEEE Recommended
Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power System states that it is the
responsibility of the consumer to curb this mains ‘Pollution’ at the source point itself within acceptable
limits.
AMTECH offers Input Harmonic Converter as a solution for this problem. As per the requirement and
acceptable limits of induced harmonics such converters can be tailor made for you. Contact AMTECH
for details on Input Harmonic Converter.
Output Sinus Filter
Output of any AC Drive is Sine PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) modulated at high frequency carrier
wave. When this kind of waveform encounters Spindle load, it tends to create very high dV/dt stress
for the stator winding. After a long time the stator insulation gets weakened up and ultimately the
stator flashover takes place. The problem is particularly severe in places where the location of Spindle
and AC Drive is at large distance. This happens because of the impedance mismatch between cable
and the Spindle surge impedance. This can reach as high as 1.9 times the DC bus voltage.
Output Sinus Filter helps to outcome this problem. The output after sinus filter becomes sinusoidal
and the Spindle gets relieved from excessive dV/dt stress. Spindle can be placed far away from AC
Drive. The Spindle loss due to harmonic heating also reduces considerably.
Output Sinus Filter also helps in controlling the EMI and RFI generated by the power cable and
Spindle. That means an added advantage for equipments operating with small voltages and high
frequencies. Contact AMTECH for details on Output Sinus Filter.
Input/ Output Filter
Input filter is installed before the converter stage of the any AC Drive to smoothen the current drawn
from mains power supply. This also improves the wave shape at the input, as the peak value of drawn
current is restricted and the mains transformer do not goes towards saturation.
Output filter with around 3% impedance helps in changing the characteristic impedance of the
Spindle. Now the AC Drive sees the output filter as the reflecting impedance and the filtering choke
bears the dV/dt spikes. Thus the dV/dt transient do not hampers the Spindle thereby increasing its
insulation life and reduced heating. Alternatively RC Filters and LC Filters and other passive
component combinations are also designed to suit a particular requirement. For sizing and best filter
selection for your system, contact AMTECH.
Metering
At times there may be need of monitoring the internal AC Drive data. Optional analog or digital
metering of AC Drive operating data like various voltages, currents, rpm etc can be provided in the
panel. For the AC Drive data, which can be monitored, and the extra hardware, contact AMTECH for
details.

9-1
Enclosure
Some applications may demand enclosures, which suit the environment where the unit is to be
installed. Protection against water or ingress or against some harmful ambient gas can be provided
within the scope of the manufacturer. The enclosure can be modified for required degree of protection
like IP54/ 55. Occasionally the shape and size of the enclosure can also be discussed for
incorporating the unit in some other predefined structure. Contact AMTECH for details on Enclosure
options.
Battery Backup AC Drive
For critical applications where the equipment can’t bare the stoppage due to interruptions in the power
supply or its complete failure, AMTECH offers battery backup AC Drives. This is also applicable at
locations where the input power provided for AC Drive is DC. Contact AMTECH for details on Battery
Backup AC Drive.
Remote Operator Box
Remote box for operation from near the actual driven Spindle site can be provided for the user with
optional controls and displays. We remind you here that our standard keypad control box can be
taken up to 1000 feet without any problem. Contact AMTECH for details on Remote Operator Box.
EMI Filter
AC Drive output carries high frequency carrier wave generates electromagnetic radiations. AMTECH
offers EMI filters to minimize the affect of AC Drive generated EMI noise on other equipments, which
are microprocessor based, and are placed very near to such EMI sources.
Dynamic Braking Unit
Dynamic breaking up 100% of the unit rating can be provided for high inertia loads, which require fast
deceleration. The mechanical inertial rotating energy is converted into electrical energy and dissipated
at dynamic breaking resistors. Contact AMTECH for details on Dynamic Braking.
AC Drive Bypass
A bypass with Direct-On-Line or Star-Delta bypass start can be provided for Spindle at critical places
where the process cannot bear any eventuality arising out of AC Drive failure. Contact AMTECH for
the scheme of bypass and other details on AC Drive bypass option.

Appendix-B: Fault Codes
No. Fault Name Fault Description

1 Over Current Fault This fault indicates that the unit has tripped due to excessive over current
(200% of the rated current). This is very fast acting. A short circuit condition
on the output will also cause the unit to display this fault.
2 Timed Over Current This fault indicates that the unit has tripped due to over current condition for
Fault a period of time. It is an inverse time trip. The unit is rated for 150% current
for 60sec. The timed over current counter starts at 105% load current.
3 Adjustable Over This fault occurs when load current cross the adjustable over current level
Current Fault programmed in B302 for 50msec.
4 Under Current Fault This fault occurs when the load current falls below the programmed under
current level (B304) for 1 second after reaching set speed.
5 Current Sensor Fail It indicates that one or more current sensor has failed.
6 Over Voltage Fault This fault occurs when the dc link voltage exceeds 800VDC level may be
due to increased mains voltage or regeneration. If this fault occurs. The
fault is instantaneous in order to protect the unit. Over voltage can be a
serious condition and can lead to failure of the semiconductor components.
When an over voltage fault occurs, the cause should be investigated and
promptly corrected.
7 Under Voltage Fault This fault indicates that the unit has shut down due to the dc bus voltage
being low (below the 420V DC) for 2msec.
8 Charging Fault This fault occurs when dc bus voltage doesn’t reach at preset level within 5
sec.
9 Output Phase Loss This fault indicates that the one of the output phase has lost its current flow
(below 5%) and so the other two phases has over loaded (>70%) for five
cycles. This fault will not occur during speed search operation. It can be
disabled using C307. Note that this fault will not occur if the output
terminals are open circuit.
10 Reference Missing This fault occurs if the analog current input (4-20mA) falls below 3mA for
40msec when it is selected as reference source.
11 External Fault This fault occurs if the external fault input, selected at the terminal activates.
This comes from the user.
12 Temperature Fault This fault occurs if heat sink temperature exceeds 95°C (203°F) or <0°C
(32°F).
13 Spindle Hot/Short This fault occurs if resistance of Spindle thermistor is more than 4.2kΩ or
less than 30Ω between CANH and CANL terminal if Spindle thermistor trip
is enable in B312
14 Emergency Stop This fault indicates that the unit has shut down due to the emergency stop
command.
15 EEPROM Fault This fault indicates that the data received from the EEPROM is incorrect.
After reset, it will store default values in the EEPROM memory.
16 Ground Fault This fault indicates that the unit has shut down due to ground fault. Before
reset, check that any output is not shorted with the ground.
17 Communication Loss If the slave (main control unit) is not responding to the master (Digital
Operation Panel), this fault will occur. It is auto reset type. If the
communication resumes, this will be cleared. In this fault, the AC Drive
functioning will be affected only if C405=1.
18 Output Current This fault indicates that the unbalance in output current between any two-
Unbalance output phases is higher then the set value in B313 for 60sec. Set to 0% to
disable the function.
