Where is the 0-10vdc signal landed on the ATV32, ATV312, ATV61 and ATV71 drives?

Issue:
Wiring 0-10V DC Signal in the ATV32, ATV312, ATV61 and ATV71 drives?

Product Line
ATV61,  ATV71,  ATV31,  ATV312,  ATV32

Environment:
All serial numbers Open style VFDs

Cause:
Needs to wire in a  0-10vdc signal for speed control.

Resolution:
On the ATV32, ATV61 and ATV71 drives, you can wire the 0 to 10vdc signal to AI1+ to com as reference speed 1, and you can program AI2 in menu the IO menu to set up AI2 as a 0 to 10vdc speed reference 2.
Please note that there is a factory installed jumper between AI- and com that allows this input to work with a 0 to10vdc input.  If you remove the jumper, then it becomes an -10vdc to +10vdc input.

On the ATV312, the 0-10vdc signal is landed on AI1 only.


 

ATV320 display NST when setting DI3 to L3PW as the second input to the STO function ?

Problem : The drive intermittently goes into NST when STO is configured ‘L3PW’. Once L3PW is put back to ‘NO’ then drive work as per normal.

If NST occurs only when STO and LI3 are used together as STO input, and not when STO is standalone, refer to the points below, 

1. The random NST is not linked to STO/DI3 but caused by EMC perturbation on the 24V supplied STO and or DI3 (if external 24V is used for STO/DI3), or P24 is not completely tighten to STO /DI3 inputs.

For example, if  STO input is connected to external 24V, and this 24V fails ( for EMC reason, or 24V supplied to lot of device). 
If it fails for a time of 100µs for example,  and then external 24V come back to normal level, you will not see STO state on drive but NST , because LI1 is still enabled (even if TCT=Level).
On this case you can have a random NST or SAFF. The hardware time detection of STO state by STO input is 20µs.

- You should check by oscilliscope the signal (STO and or DI3 signal).
- See more information for ATV320 on pdf attached.

2. If used a device with OSSD which is not compatible with STO.

Requirements on Digital Input

The solution with ATV320 is to use OSSD feature not wired to STO but with LI3+LI4 or LI5+LI6  (STO and L3PW are not compatible): 

Safe Torque Off Tab

Then set LIrt parameter : 

LIrt

Current used by the STO input is around 20mA. Check the equipment connected to STO & DI3, that provide enough current to both inputs.
Test to supply STO & DI3 with internal 24Vdc of ATV320. If there is no issue with internal 24V of ATV320 , this can confirm the hypothesis of limited 24V in safety device.
The external 24V supply or safety output must be stable voltage and the most important, the cable used for STO & DI3 " MUST BE SHIELD".




 

How can you reset the Somove safety password for ATV320 ? ATV320 password shows the error “Your password is either invalid or not correct ?

Somove safety password can be reset by code 1581.

1581 is not the general password to enter in the safety configuration. But a password to allow reset of safety password.
If you enter 1581 from the configure button you will have error message and that is normal.

Enter config password

To use the 1581 password you need to use the reset password button.

Enter password

Enter here the 1581 and validate the safety password erasing.

Validate safety password

Now you can go on "configure" button and it will ask you a new password to open the safety configuration.

When comparing projects with a BMENOC3xx in Unity Dif, what does the “ParamKW” refer to?

UnityDif
If the value of ParamKW is different, then it is referring to any modification done on the configuration of the NOC (most likely in the DTM browser). If you do not see any changes in this section of the program, then no actual modification was done. For example, if the IP address of a device in the DTM browser is changed and then changed back to its original value, a time stamp will still exist, resulting in the ParamKW changing.

How to convert the Float 32 Format to decimal.

Issue:
End User needs to convert a Float 32 register value into a decimal number


Product:
ION and Powerlogic Meters

Environment:
Arithmetic Conversion

Cause:
Some registers are stored as Float 32 values. In order to make sense of that value we have to convert that number to a decimal value.

Resolution:
Float 32 values will take 2 registers, if you check in the Register List. 
  1. So, to start with convert the values separately in both the registers to Hexadecimal. 
  2. Now, use the below link and use the value in the registers in ascending next to each ​​​​​​
      https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html

Below is an example of the process:

For Registers,
3000 - 5EF3
3001 - 4323

Input the hexadecimal box of the link as 0X5EF34323 to get the exact decimal values. 8.7644463E18

What are the factors to consider in selecting the braking resistor for Altivar drives?

Issue:
What are the things to consider in selecting the braking resistors for Altivar drives?

Product Line:
All Altivar Drives

Environment:
All

Cause:
Needs to know if the factors to consider in selecting the braking resistor for Altivar drives

Resolution:
1.) Resistance - Choosing a too low resistance may damage the drive.  Too high and it's not as effective as a brake.  That's because higher resistance means we will get lower current from the drive.  Lower resistance means higher currents and too high current can damage the braking IGBT in the drive.

2.) Watts - Higher wattage means more durable braking resistor.

How do you order a Masterpact NW or NT circuit breaker?

Issue:
What is the process for ordering a Masterpact NW or NT circuit breaker?

Product Line:
Circuit Breakers

Resolution:
Masterpact circuit breakers cannot be ordered by catalog number.  A Schneider distributor or sales office must enter the order via the online product selector in My Schneider, SE Advantage, or Quote to Cash.
Information they need includes the certification standard (UL, ANSI, IEC), fixed or drawout, ampacity, AIR required, trip unit functions or type, accessories, connectors, and other customer specifications.

The attached decoder will assist in breaking down a catalog number to its component parts.  With knowledge of the breaker's construction it will be possible to use the Q2C or SE Advantage product selector to select, quote, and order the breaker.  DO NOT try to build a catalog number using the decoder.  A number generated using the decoder will be prone to error due to possibly selecting components and features which are mutually exclusive, and the number will have no value for quotation or ordering even if valid.

Required information for placing an order can be found on the attached RFQ (Request for Quote) or RFQ - DC for DC rated Masterpacts.

For the M580, X80 IO, is there a way that I can read all the bits in a 32 Point Input Module as a DINT?

Since these bits are defined in individual structures with type T_DIS_IN_GEN for each channel, it is not possible to convert them into a DINT directly. However, you can use this work around in your code to convert. i.e use 2x BIT_TO_WORDS, then WORD_AS_DINT.

Video: How is a faulted Altivar drive reset?

Issue:
Reset a  fault on a Altivar drive.

Product Line:
Altivar ATV variable speed drives

Environment:
All

Cause:
Need to reset a fault status.

Resolution:
There are multiple ways to reset a fault, including a logic input assignment and communication network.  But an easy way to reset a fault is to remove line voltage from L1,L2,L3.  Allow enough time for the display to go completely blank and then wait another 30seconds.  Reapply power.  If the fault appears again, it means that the VFD has re-faulted.

Note: Some faults have to be reset by removing and reapplying line voltage (power-cycling) the drive. Refer to your drive's Programming Manual for a list of faults that require a power cycle to clear. 

The following video demonstrates how to configure a logic input fault reset function on the Altivar 212:

What will cause EPF2 fault on ATV32 or ATV320 when communicating over Ethernet?

Issue:
EPF2 fault on ATV32 or ATV320 when using Ethernet.

Product Line:
ATV32/ATV320

Environment:
All

Cause:
FDR detected fault
IP address duplication detected fault

Resolution:
First check the FDR on the Ethernet IP card is deactivated. In case the FDR is activated, that will explain the "EPF2" fault. The reason is that the Drive is waiting for a configuration from PLC, but PLC doesn't answer once the timeout is reached. This causes the drive to trip in "EPF2".

The second reason for "EPF2" fault is the range of IP address. In case of IP address 192.0.0.x and Sub net mask of 255.255.255.0 can cause "EPF2". Change the range of the IP address.

Additionally, an incorrect configuration of the drive can cause this fault when using Assemblies other than 100 and 101. Drive must be configured as follows:
  • Ref 1= Communications card
  • Profile= Separate controls
  • CMD switching= C312
  • CMD channel 1= Communication card
  • CMD channel 2= Terminal control
  • Ref 2 Switching= C313
  • Ref 2 Channel= AI1 or AI2

Do we have variable speed drives for single-phase motor?

Our variable speed drives are designed to control three-phase motors only.

However if the motor is replaced with a 3 phase 240V motor, a single phase 240V input inverter can be used.
e.g. ATV12 is a single phase inverter for use with three phase 230v motors.

This single phase in to three phase output function is available on the ATV12 and ATV320 drives up to the maximum rating of 2.2kw

What is SCF4 on the ATV32 drive?

Issue:  
SCF4 on ATV32

Product Line:
Altivar 32

Environment:
All Serial numbers

Cause:
N/A

Resolution:
SCF4 or [IGBT short circuit] indicates that there may be a power component fault.
If the fault will reset after a power cycle, the recommendation is to perform a self test via the FLT.  
Select the IGBT TEST, and set Strt to yes.   The Motor must be connected to perform this test.  Note any results that are not OK.

If Transistor Test results are all OK, or if the SCF4 fault will not clear after a power cycle; disconnect motor from the drive and test for proper operation without the motor.  Note that Motor Control Type (DRC menu) has to be V/F 2pts and Output Phase Loss has to be NO in (FLT menu) for this test.  Attempt to run the drive at several different speeds, checking phase to phase voltage for balance at each speed.  
This should only be performed by a qualified technician with appropriate PPE and test equipment.

Possible issues: Internal power component short circuit detected at power on.  The drive may need to be replaced if the fault is coming up on power up.

What can cause the Altivar 32 to fault on an Output Phase Loss?

Issue:
ATV32 causes of an Output Phase Loss.

Product line:
Altivar 32, ATV32

Environment:
All models

Cause:
Loss of phase / low current

Resolution:
The output phase loss faults are derived from the VFD measurement of output current.

OPF1 is the detection of the loss of one output phase between the drive and the motor. 
OPF2 is the detection of the loss of all three phases between the drive and the motor.

- Confirm the motor settings are correctly entered into the drive Motor Control (DRC) menu
- Check the wiring connections between the drive and the motor.  If there are any disconnects or junctions, check that the disconnect is closed and junction connections are secure.
- If the motor is undersized for the drive HP rating, the drive may trip on phase loss due to low current detection, causing the drive to believe a phase is lost. 
- Confirm the drive is working properly by disconnecting the motor leads, setting Output Phase Loss (OPL) to No, run the drive and check for equal voltage output, phase to phase.
- If using an output contactor, set Output Phase Loss (OPL) to Output Cut (OAC)
 

Does Schneider Electric offer a VFD rated for 480Vac single phase input to drive a three phase motor?

Issue:
Customer needs a drive for a 460Vac motor, but only has 480Vac single phase power available. 

Product Line:
Altivar drives

Environment:
All

Cause:
Customer's site only has 480 V single phase line voltage available.

Resolution:
The ATV320 and ATV630 product lines have models that are rated for 480V single phase supply.
See the attached Annex files for details.

Contact the local Schneider Electric Drives Rep or Distributor or Sales office for approvals of other VFDs for use with 480V single phase supply.

The Annex is the only approved document, so all previous documentation including Pricing Guides, Errata sheets and the letters from Product Management are superseded by these documents and all inquiries regarding this type of application need to be referred to the appropriate published document.

For any 480 V single phase applications outside of the approved ATV320 models, consider contacting Bonitron (http://www.bonitron.com/drive-schneider.html) for possible solutions such as supplying DC voltage direct to the VFD DC bus. The ATV930 product line can be fed direct to the DC bus as well.  The ATV630 does not have terminal access to the DC bus.

  4. Set TCC for 2C for 2-wire control.
Now that the drive is set for 2-wire control, you can choose how you would like to set the 2-wire type:
If desired, set TCT to LEL instead of TRN for level control. 
Warning: Level control type is not appropriate for all applications. Please consider whether this is safe for your application. 
-In transition mode (trn), the drive will need to be powered up before a run command is given.
-In level mode (LEL), the run command can remain active, and the drive will run upon power up.
  If the run command is not active, the drive will wait for one in RDY status.
