ABBDCS Thyristor Power Converters for DC Drive Systems 25 to 5150 A Operating Instructions DCS 600 MultiDrive

functions should not be used if other units and devices are not

suitable for an operating mode of this kind, or if their use might

entail dangerous situations.

Warning of electrostatic discharge:

this symbol warns you against electrostatic discharges which may damage the unit. Where appropriate, the text printed next to this symbol describes

how a risk of this kind may be avoided.

Notes Notes supply information on states requiring particular attention, or

indicate that additional information is available on a specific topic.

For this purpose, the following symbols are used:

CAUTION! Cautions are designed to draw your attention to a

particular state of affairs.

Note A note contains or refers you to additional information available on the particular topic concerned.

Mains connection You can use a switch disconnector (with fuses) in the power supply

of the thyristor power converter to disconnect the electrical components of the unit from the power supply for installation and maintenance work. The type of disconnector used must be a switch disconnector as per EN 60947-3, Class B, so as to comply with EU

regulations, or a circuit-breaker type which switches off the load

circuit by means of an auxiliary contact causing the breaker’s main

contacts to open. The mains disconnector must be locked in its

"OPEN" position during any installation and maintenance work.

EMERGENCY STOP

buttons

EMERGENCY STOP buttons must be installed at each control

desk and at all other control panels requiring an emergency stop

function. Pressing the STOP button on the CDP 312 control panel

of the thyristor power converter will neither cause an emergency

motor stop, nor will the drive be disconnected from any dangerous

potential.

To avoid unintentional operating states, or to shut the unit down in case of

any imminent danger according to the standards in the safety instructions

it is not sufficient to merely shut down the drive via signals „RUN“, „drive

OFF“ or „Emergency Stop“ respectively „control panel“ or „PC tool“.

Intended use The operating instructions cannot take into consideration every

possible case of configuration, operation or maintenance. Thus,

they mainly give such advice only, which is required by qualified

personnel for normal operation of the machines and devices in

industrial installations.

If in special cases the electrical machines and devices are intended for use in non-industrial installations - which may require

stricter safety regulations (e.g. protection against contact by

children or similar) -, these additional safety measures for the

installation must be provided by the customer during assembly

How to use this manual The purpose of these operating instructions is to provide detailed

information on how to start up a thyristor power converter from the

DCS 600 series.

Note: If it is not mentioned explicitly all details given in

these Operating Instructions will be valid for series

DCS 600!

Contents of this manual Chapter 1 - Introduction

It describes how to use this manual and the boundary conditions

applying.

Chapter 2 - Start-Up Instructions

We recommend working your way through the Start-Up Instructions

step by step, since in this way you will get to perform all important

parameter setting routines.

Chapter 3 - How to Handle the Control and Display Panel

This chapter describes how to operate the CDP 312 control and

display panel.

Chapter 4 - Signals and Troubleshooting

This chapter describes the available signals and possibilities of display with DCS 600. As far as fault signals are concerned there will

be indicated measures (actions) to be taken for troubleshooting.

Target group This manual is designed to help those responsible for planning, installing, starting up and servicing the thyristor power converter.

These people should possess

• basic knowledge of physics and electrical engineering, electrical

wiring principles, components and symbols used in electrical engineering, and

• basic experience with DC drives and products.

These Operating Instructions

Incoming inspection After opening this package, you should check whether it contains

the following items:

● DCS 600 thyristor power converter in the configuration

ordered

● DCS 600 publications

● Accessories, including manuals if ordered

● Final test report

Check the consignment for any signs of damage. If you find any,

please contact the insurance company or the supplier.

Check the particulars given on the unit’s rating plate to make sure

prior to installation and start-up that you have received the correct

unit type and unit version.

If the consignment is incomplete or contains any incorrect items,

please contact the supplier.

CAUTION! The thyristor power converter weighs quite a lot and

should therefore not be held by the front cover. Please put the unit

down only on its back (sizes C1 to C3). Always use due care when

handling the unit, so as to avoid injuries or damage.

Storage and transport If the unit had been in storage prior to installation or is transported
