OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Overview This chapter contains safety instructions which must be complied

with during installation, operation and maintenance of the power

converters series DCS 600 MultiDrive. If these instructions are

not complied with, this may result in injuries (perhaps even with

fatal) or in damage to the power converter, the motor and the

driven machine. Before starting with any work whatsoever at or

with this unit, you must read the information given in this chapter.

Warnings Warnings provide information on states which if the specified

procedure for the state concerned is not meticulously complied

with may result in a serious error, in major damage to the unit, in

injury to persons and even in death.

They are identified by the following symbols:

Danger: High Voltage! This symbol warns you of

high voltages which may result in injuries to persons

and/or damage to equipment. Where appropriate, the

text printed adjacent to this symbol describes how

risks of this kind may be avoided.

● All electrical installation and maintenance work on the thyristor

power converter must be carried out by properly qualified staff

who have been thoroughly trained in electrical engineering.

● The thyristor power converter and its adjacent units must be

properly earthed by qualified professionals.

● You must NEVER perform any work on the thyristor power

converter while it is still switched on. First switch the unit off,

use a measuring instrument to make absolutely sure that the

power converter has really been de-energized, and only then

you may start with the work concerned.

● Due to external control circuits, there may be dangerously

high voltages present at the thyristor power converter even

after the line voltage has been switched off. So always work

at the unit with appropriate caution! Non-compliance with these

instructions may result in injury (or even death!).

General warning: this symbol warns you of nonelectrical risks and dangers which may result in serious or even fatal injury to persons and/or in damage

to equipment. Where appropriate, the text printed adjacent to this symbol describes how risks of this kind

may be avoided.

● When thyristor power converters are in use, the electric motors,

power transmission elements and the driven machines are

working in an extended operating range, which means they have

to cope with a relatively high loading.

● You should have made sure that all units, devices and appliances used are actually suitable for this higher loading.

● If you have to operate the thyristor power converter at a rated

motor voltage and/or a rated motor current significantly below

the figures stated in the thyristor power converter’s output data,

you must take appropriate precautionary measures to protect

the unit against overspeed, overload, breakage, etc., by modifying the software or hardware appropriately.

● For insulation testing, you must disconnect all cables from the

thyristor power converter. You should avoid operating your unit

at values other than the rated data. Non-compliance with these

instructions may cause lasting damage to the thyristor power

converter.

● The thyristor power converter possesses a number of automatic

reset functions. When these functions are executed, the unit will

be reset after an error and will then resume operation. These

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.

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

to another location, care must be taken to ensure that the environmental conditions are complied with (see "System Description

DCS 600").

Rating plate For purposes of identification, each thyristor power converter is fitted with rating plates, stating the type code and the serial number,

which serve for each unit’s individual identification.

The type code contains information on the characteristics and the

configuration of the unit. The first three digits of the serial number

refer to the year and week of manufacture. The last digits complete

the serial number so as to preclude two units receiving the same

type code and the same serial number.

The group 4 provides information on the unit’s software configuration.

The technical data and specifications are valid as of going to press.

ABB reserves the right to make subsequent alterations.

If you have any questions concerning your drive system, please

contact your local ABB agent.

CAUTION: it is absolutely essential that the applicable accident prevention

regulations be observed by the user (in this context, please also

read the chapter entitled "Safety Instructions")!

How this chapter is structured

For better understanding the individual steps of start-up work are distinguished by

a) frames without any additional marking on the left side:

These steps of start-up work must always be performed (= mandatory start-up work)!

Example:

42.06 = Rated line voltage

This is used to scale those parameters referring to the line voltage, .....

b) frames with marking on the left side (“columns” shaded in grey):

These steps of start-up work have to be performed only when the condition stated

(as heading) applies to the selected drive configuration! After this work has been

completed, the mandatory start-up work has to be continued.

Example:

Set this only for units with a rated current ≥ 2050A in case of control board exchange!

42.07 = Rated power converter current

Enter numerical value from rating plate here

Recommended motor voltages and field voltages

• Motor voltage UA when the following units are used

DCS 601: UAmax = Line voltage * 1.16 (2- quadrant unit)

DCS 602: UAmax = Line voltage * 1.05 (4- quadrant unit)

• Field voltage UF (= max. output voltage) when the following is being used

SDCS-FEX-1: UF = Line voltage * 0.9

If there is a divergence of more than 10 % between the field supply unit’s output

voltage and the rated field voltage UFrated stated on the motor’s rating plate, then the

connecting voltage UN should be reduced, using a matching transformer or a series

resistor Rv: Rv = (0.9 * UN - UF) / IF IF = Rated field current

(Note: also suitable for fine-balancing the maximum motor voltage)

• Field voltage UF when the following is being used

SDCS-FEX-2 /

DCF 503 / DCF 504: UF = Line voltage * 0.6 ... 0.8

• Field voltage UF when the following is being used

DCF 601: UF = Line voltage * 0.5 ... 1.1

Maximally possible output voltage UAmax using

DCF 601 / DCF 602: UAmax = Line voltage * 1.35

Phase sequence when connecting to the mains / Potential isolation

No special phase sequence required for the main connections U1, V1 and W1!

Phase coordination between electronics section and power section not necessary!

For potential isolation and for avoiding ground loops, an isolating transformer should be

installed upstream when an oscilloscope is being used.

Preventing unintended operating states / Shutting the drive down

CAUTION! As laid down in DIN 57100 Part 727 / VDE 0100 Part 727 (Preventing

unintended operating states), shutting the drive down by means of the

signals at the binary inputs DIx is not sufficient in itself as the sole

measure involved for avoiding unintended operating states or shutting

the drive down in the event of danger!

Range of application for the Start-Up Instructions

The Start-Up Instructions are referenced to the parameter settings in their as-delivered

condition (default values) and to the unit wiring as shown in the connection diagram

(see System description DCS 600).

These Operating Instructions only describe the start-up procedure via panel CDP 312

when in LOCAL mode or/and via PC program DRIVES WINDOW.

Method of functioning of the binary input DI5

• Binary input DI5; designation EM STOP

The binary input DI5, e.g. terminal X6:5 of control board SDCS-CON-2, must be

set to logical "1” in order to get no operation of the EMERGENCY STOP function.

This configuration takes into account the requirements of a fail-safe-circuit.

The incoming signal is inverted by means of the Parameter 13.12 thus setting the

internal signal EMERGENCY STOP to logical "0”. If the external signal is "0”,the

EMERGENCY STOP function will be active and the alarm signal A 102 will appear.

The drive will react in accordance with the setting of Parameter 21.04 EME_STOP_

MODE (presetting is: 1 = STOP WITH RAMP). The ramp time is set by Parameter 22.04. After resetting of the signal, i.e. external signal set back to

logical "1”, the ON command has to be repeated.

Software identification

The software identification of the SDCS-CON2 board is in parameter 4.11.

The software identification of the SDCS-AMC-DC board is in parameter 4.2.

The application identification from ABB Lampertheim is [DCS600xx] in parameter 4.3.

Different coded applications are handled and supported from local ABB organizations.

The software of the units series DCS 600 is divided into two parts which are handled

by processors integrated in the respective boards SDCS-CON-2 (Software 15.2xx) and

SDCS-AMC-DC (Software 15.6xx).

The upload of signals from SDCS-CON-2 to SDCS-AMC-DC board are operated by:

• 6 automatic channels

• 11 programmable channels, selectable in group 94 (see Software description - chapter

31)

The 6 automatic channels are used by the functions:

• Display signals at control panel CDP 312

• Monitor signals at DriveWindow Tool

• Data Logger at DriveWindow Tool

If

• more than 6 signals of the SDCS-CON-2 board are selected, or

• the function Signals and Parameter of DriveWindow, or

• the overriding control (AC 80, AC 70…)

is used for monitoring, the signals should be selected in group 94.xx

Note: In the below mentioned tables AMC / CON-2 will be used as type designations

instead of SDCS-AMC-DC / SDCS-CON-2.

Symbols for switching the electronics or the power section ON and OFF

Check the unit for damage in transit or other damage.

Install and wire unit; connect all inputs and outputs required.

Proceed in the same way for the field supply unit as well.

Check whether protective measures, earthing, screening, etc. have been taken in

accordance with the system conditions involved.

Check the rated value of the supply voltage for the electronics and the fan:

• matching transformer necessary when:

- electronics supply is not equal to 115 V/230 V

- single-phase-fan supply is not equal to 230 V

- three-phase-fan supply is not within the range of 400 V .... 690 V (star/delta

connection).

Check the rated value of the supply voltage for the armature-circuit converter’s

power section; the particulars given on the rating plate must be > than the rated

line voltage.

If this condition is not satisfied, then the following applies:

- use an isolating transformer, or

- use a suitable unit.

Check the rated value of the supply voltage for the field supply unit.

(Particulars on rating plate > rated line voltage?

Is an auxiliary transformer or perhaps a series resistor necessary?)

Check the wiring, fusing, the cross-sectional areas of the cables.

Check the system’s EMERGENCY STOP for proper functioning! Set the system-side

monitoring functions, and activate them. Check whether auxiliaries, such as motor fans

or unit fans, function properly; while doing this, also check for correct direction of rotation and voltage level as well!

2.2 Scaling intra-unit signals

Make sure that the existing electronics supply voltage has been set on the SDCSPOW-1 power supply board as well, using the SW1 switch.

If an encoder is being used as the speed feedback device, make sure that the correct

supply voltage has been set on the boards

SDCS-POW-1: ⇒ X3: / X4: / X5: SDCS-IOB-3: ⇒ S4

El Switch on the power supply to the electronics section.

The display of the Control Panel CDP 312 / DRIVES WINDOW may show a

fault or an alarm signal or the seven segment display may indicate an error code

as a sequence of characters and digits.

Input of data is necessary as the software will check the availability of the I/O

bords as specified by settings.

Input of motor data and line voltage:

41.03 = Rated motor field current

Max. field current of the motor as indicated on rating plate. This is used to scale

those parameters referring to the motor field current, such as field current limitation

and field current monitoring.

42.06 = Rated line voltage

This is used to scale those parameters referring to the line voltage, such as line

undervoltage.

99.02 = Rated motor voltage

41.19 = Int EMF REF

Reference for voltage control in field weakening range.

50.01 = Speed scaling

Speed of the motor to be scaled to 20 000.

This scaling is used for overriding control and for internal dataprocessing, i.e.

scaling of the speed dependent parameters, such as min. and max. values.

Note 1: The Speed scaling must be set in the range of 87%…500% of the motor nominal speed (99.05).

Note 2: The Software DRIVES WINDOW and the Control Panel CDP 312 will

always display physical units!

2.3 Presetting the field supply unit

Make sure that existing supply voltages for power section, field supply unit (field

exciter) and field winding, fan, etc. match the rated data of the components used.

Switch ON power.

DANGER: System components now energized!

Please wait a few moments. During this time, the unit compares the phase sequence

set in the parameter with that obtaining at the power section.

If the unit outputs the "Phase sequence fault of power section” signal (F 38 PHAS

SEQU):

- switch off unit completely and disconnect from the mains, interchange two phases

at the input, and start again from the beginning of this chapter.

or

- enter: 42.01 = R-T-S and then acknowledge fault signal.

Unit will automatically adapt to phase sequence; this signal is to be interpreted as

information to the effect that the fans' direction of rotation may be wrong for size-C3

or size-C4 units (observe direction of arrow on the fan).
