Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring

After removing the front cover, check if the power and control terminals are clear. Be sure to observe the following precautions when wiring.
 General Wiring Information
Applicable Codes
All VFD-M series are Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and Canadian Underwriters Laboratories (cUL) listed, and therefore comply with the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Installation intended to meet the UL and cUL requirements must follow the instructions provided in “Wiring Notes” as a minimum standard. Follow all local codes that exceed UL and cUL requirements. Refer to the technical data label affixed to the AC motor drive and the motor nameplate for electrical data.
The “Line Fuse Specification” in Appendix B, lists the recommended fuse part number for each VFD-M Series part number. These fuses (or equivalent) must be used on all installations where compliance with U.L. standards is a required.
CAUTION!

  1. Make sure that power is only applied to the R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 terminals. Failure to comply may result in damage to the equipment. The voltage and current should lie within the range as indicated on the nameplate.
  2. All the units must be grounded directly to a common ground terminal to prevent lightning strike or electric shock.
  3. Please make sure to fasten the screw of the main circuit terminals to prevent sparks which is made by the loose screws due to vibration.
  4. Check following items after finishing the wiring:
    A. Are all connections correct?
    B. No loose wires?
    C. No short-circuits between terminals or to ground?

DANGER!

  1. A charge may still remain in the DC bus capacitors with hazardous voltages even if the power has been turned off. To prevent personal injury, please ensure that the power is turned off and wait ten minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels before opening the AC motor drive.
  2. Only qualified personnel familiar with AC motor drives is allowed to perform installation, wiring and commissioning.
  3. Make sure that the power is off before doing any wiring to prevent electric shock.

2.1 Basic Wiring Diagram
Users must connect wires according to the following circuit diagram shown below. DELTA VFD M Series Inverter 3 Phases - Basic Wiring
Diagram

NOTE: Do not plug a Modem or telephone line to the RS-485 communication port, permanent damage may result. Terminal 1& 2 are the power sources for the optional copy keypad and should not be used while using RS-485 communication.

  • If it is single phase model, please select any of the two input power terminals in main circuit power.
  • Single phase model can be input 3-phase power.

CAUTION!

  1. The wiring of main circuit and control circuit should be separated to prevent erroneous actions.
  2. Please use shield wire for the control wiring and not to expose the peeled-off net in front of the terminal.
  3. Please use the shield wire or tube for the power wiring and ground the two ends of the shield wire or tube.
  4. Damaged insulation of wiring may cause personal injury or damage to circuits/equipment if it comes in contact with high voltage.
  5. The AC motor drive, motor and wiring may cause interference. To prevent the equipment damage, please take care of the erroneous actions of the surrounding sensors and the equipment.
  6. When the AC drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 are connected to the motor terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3, respectively. To permanently reverse the direction of motor rotation, switch over any of the two motor leads.
  7. With long motor cables, high capacitive switching current peaks can cause over-current, high leakage current or lower current readout accuracy. To prevent this, the motor cable should be less than 20m for 3.7kW models and below. And the cable should be less than 50m for 5.5kW models and above. For longer motor cables use an AC output reactor.
  8. The AC motor drive, electric welding machine and the greater horsepower motor should be grounded separately.
  9. Use ground leads that comply with local regulations and keep them as short as possible.
  10. No brake resistor is built in the VFD-M series, it can install brake resistor for those occasions that use higher load inertia or frequent start/stop. Refer to Appendix B for  details.
  11. Multiple VFD-M units can be installed in one location. All the units should be grounded directly to a common ground terminal, as shown in the figure below. Ensure there are no ground loops.

CAUTION!
Mains power terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3)

  • Connect these terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) via a non-fuse breaker or earth leakage breaker to 3-phase AC power (some models to 1-phase AC power) for circuit protection. It is unnecessary to consider phase-sequence.
  • It is recommended to add a magnetic contactor (MC) in the power input wiring to cut off power quickly and reduce malfunction when activating the protection function of AC motor drives. Both ends of the MC should have an R-C surge absorber.
  • Please make sure to fasten the screw of the main circuit terminals to prevent sparks which is made by the loose screws due to vibration.
  • Please use voltage and current within the regulation shown in Appendix A.
  • When using a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), select a current sensor with sensitivity of 200mA, and not less than 0.1-second detection time to avoid nuisance tripping.
  • Do NOT run/stop AC motor drives by turning the power ON/OFF. Run/stop AC motor drives by RUN/STOP command via control terminals or keypad. If you still need to run/stop AC drives by turning power ON/OFF, it is recommended to do so only ONCE per hour.
  • Do NOT connect 3-phase models to a 1-phase power source.

Output terminals for main circuit (U, V, W)

  • When it needs to install the filter at the output side of terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 on the AC motor drive. Please use inductance filter. Do not use phase- compensation capacitors or L-C (Inductance-Capacitance) or R-C (Resistance-Capacitance), unless approved by Delta.
  • DO NOT connect phase-compensation capacitors or surge absorbers at the output terminals of AC motor drives.
  • Use well-insulated motor, suitable for inverter operation.

Terminals [B1, B2] for connecting external brake unit
Brake Resistor(optional)
Refer to Appendix B for the use of special brake resistor

  • Connect a brake resistor or brake unit in applications with frequent deceleration ramps, short deceleration time, too low braking torque or requiring increased braking torque.
  • The AC motor drive has a built-in brake chopper, you can connect the external brake resistor to the terminals [B1, B2] when needed.
  • When not used, please leave the terminals [B1, B2] open.

Note: Use twisted-shielded, twisted-pair or shielded-lead wires for the control signal wiring. It is recommended to run all signal wiring in a separate steel conduit. The shield wire should only be connected at the drive. Do not connect shield wire on both ends.
Analog inputs (AVI, ACI)

  • Analog input signals are easily affected by external noise. Use shielded wiring and keep it as short as possible (<20m) with proper grounding. If the noise is inductive, connecting the shield to terminal GND can bring improvement.
  • If the analog input signals are affected by noise from the AC motor drive, please connect a capacitor (0.1 μF and above) and ferrite core as indicated in the following diagrams:

wind each wires 3 times or more around the core

Digital inputs (M0~M5)

  • When using contacts or switches to control the digital inputs, please use high quality components to avoid contact bounce.

Digital outputs (MO1)

  • Make sure to connect the digital outputs to the right polarity, see wiring diagrams.
  • When connecting a relay to the digital outputs, connect a surge absorber or fly-back diode across the coil and check the polarity.

General

  • Keep control wiring as far away as possible from the power wiring and in separate conduits to avoid interference. If necessary let them cross only at 90º angle.

  • The AC motor drive control wiring should be properly installed and not touch any live power wiring or terminals.

  • If a filter is required for reducing EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference), install it as close as possible to AC drive. EMI can also be reduced by lowering the Carrier Frequency.

DANGER!
Damaged insulation of wiring may cause personal injury or damage to circuits/equipment if it comes in contact with high voltage.

3.3 Trial Run
The factory setting of the operation source is from the digital keypad (Pr.01=00). You can perform a trial run by using the digital keypad with the following steps:

  1. After applying power, verify that the display shows F60.0Hz. When AC motor drive is in
    standby situation, STOP LED and FWD LED will light up.

  2. Press key to set frequency to 5Hz.

  3. Press key, RUN LED and FWD LED will light up, which indicates operation command is forward running. And if you want to change to reverse running, you should press . And if you want to decelerate to stop, please press key.

  4. Check following items:
    – Check if the motor direction of rotation is correct.
    – Check if the motor runs steadily without abnormal noise and vibration.
    – Check if acceleration and deceleration are smooth.

If the results of trial run are normal, please start the formal run.

  1. Stop running immediately if any fault occurs and refer to the troubleshooting guide for solving the problem.
  2. Do NOT touch output terminals U, V, W when power is still applied to L1/R, L2/S, L3/T even when the AC motor drive has stopped. The DC-link capacitors may still be charged to hazardous voltage levels, even if the power has been turned off.
  3. To avoid damage to components, do not touch them or the circuit boards with metal objects or your bare hands.

Pr.10. This parameter is used to determine the time required for the AC drive to ramp from 0 Hz to its Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03). The rate is linear unless the S-Curve (Pr.14) is “Enabled”.
Pr.11. This parameter is used to determine the time required for the AC drive to decelerate from the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03) down to 0 Hz. The rate is linear unless the SCurve (Pr.14) is “Enabled”.
Pr.12 and Pr.13: Provide an additional Accel/Decel time although Time 1 is the default. A Multi-Function input terminal must be programmed to select Accel/ or Decel/ Time 2 and the terminal must be closed to select Accel/Decel Time 2 (See Pr.38 to Pr.42).
In the below diagram, suppose the Maximum Output Frequency is 60 Hz (Master Freq), Minimum Output Frequency (start-up) is 1.0 Hz, and accel/decel time 1 is 10 seconds. The actual time for the AC drive to accelerate from start-up to 60 Hz is 9.83 seconds (deceleration time is also 9.83 seconds), can be determined by the formula.DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases -

**** This parameter is used whenever the motor load needs to be accelerated or decelerated smoothly. The desired accel/decel effect is selectable from 0 to 7, in which the larger the number, the greater the effect achieved. If the default value of Pr.111 Deceleration S Curve is unchanged (“0”), then Pr.14 sets both acceleration and deceleration S-Curves. If Pr.111 is set to any value other than “0”, then Pr.14 will set the acceleration S-Curve and Pr.111 will set the deceleration S-Curve. DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases -

**** When the JOG function is activated, the AC drive will accelerate from Minimum Output Frequency (Pr.08) to Jog Frequency (Pr.16). Drive must be in “stop” status for the operator to activate the JOG function. Likewise, during Jog operation, other commands cannot be accepted through the keypad but FORWARD, REVERSE and STOP. The JOG function can be remotely activated when the Jog terminal is closed, and if the Jog terminal opens, the AC drive will decelerate from Jog Frequency to zero. The accel / decel time is entered as Jog Accel / Decel Time (Pr.15). Multi-function Input terminals (M1-M5) can also be used to initiate the JOG operation if so programmed. DELTA VFD-M

Multi-Function Input Terminals (refer to Pr.38 to Pr.42) are used to select Multi-Step speeds.
The desired speed frequencies are entered in Pr.17 to Pr.23. When the associated multifunction input terminal is closed, drive will run at one of these specific frequencies.
Multi-step speeds (Pr.17 to Pr.23), Pr.78, Pr.79, and Pr.81 to Pr.87; are used for multi-step motion control, which is executed in an orderly manner, similar to a PLC program.

** During deceleration, the DC bus voltage may exceed its maximum allowable value due to motor regeneration. When this function is enabled, the AC drive will stop decelerating, and maintain a constant output frequency to prevent from over-voltage tripping. Drive will resume deceleration when the voltage drops below the setting for Pr.25.
Note:** In applications where inertia is low, over-voltage during deceleration would not occur. When inertia is high, the AC drive will automatically extend the deceleration period. If a faster stop is needed, then a dynamic brake resistor should be used.![DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases

Factory Setting: 150%

Settings
20 to 200%
00 disable
A setting of 100% is equal to the Rated Output Current of the drive.
Under certain conditions, the AC drive output current may increase abruptly, and exceed the value specified by Pr.26. This is commonly caused by rapid acceleration or excessive load on the motor. When this function is enabled, the AC drive will stop accelerating and maintain a constant output frequency. Drive will resume accelerating only after the current drops below the setting for Pr.26.
Pr.27

Over-Current Stall Prevention during Operation Unit: 1%
Factory Setting: 150%

Settings

**** During a steady-state operation with the motor load rapidly increasing, the AC drive output current may exceed the limit specified in Pr.27. When this occurs, the output frequency will decrease to maintain a constant motor speed. The drive will accelerate to the steady-state output frequency only when the output current drops below the setting for Pr.27.

DC Braking Current Level Unit: 1%
Settings 00 to 100% Factory Setting: 00

** This parameter determines the amount of DC Braking Current applied to the motor during starting and stopping. When setting the DC Braking Current, please note that 100% corresponds to the rated current of the AC drive. It is recommended to start with a low DC Braking Current level and then increase it until proper holding torque has been attained.

DC Braking Time during Start-up Unit: 0.1sec
Settings 0.0 to 5.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.0

** This parameter determines the duration for the DC Braking Current applied during starting. DC Braking is applied until the Minimum Frequency is reached.
Pr.30**

DC Braking Time during Stopping Unit: 0.1sec
Settings 0.0 to 25.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.0

** This parameter determines the duration for the DC Braking voltage to be applied during stopping. If stopping with DC Braking is desired, then Pr.02 must be set to Ramp to Stop (0.0).
Pr.31**

Start-Point for DC Braking Unit: 0.1sec
Settings 0.00 to 60.00Hz Factory Setting: 0.00

**** This parameter sets the frequency at which the DC Braking will begin during deceleration.

DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases - Figure 15 Notes:

  1. DC Braking during starting is used for loads that may move before the AC drive starts, such as hoists and cranes. These loads may also be moving in the wrong direction. Under such circumstances, the DC Braking can be used to hold the load in position before applying a forward motion.
  2. DC Braking during stopping is used to stop faster than the ramp-to-stop or to hold a stopped load in position. A dynamic brake resistor may be needed in order to stop loads of high inertia.

Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time Unit: 0.1sec
Settings 0.3 to 5.0 sec Factory Setting: 2.0 sec

** After a power loss, the AC drive will resume operation only if the power loss duration is shorter than the time defined by Pr.33. If the Maximum Allowable Power Loss Time is exceeded, the AC drive output is then turned off.
Pr.34**

Base-Block Time for Speed Search Unit: 0.1sec
Settings 0.3 to 5.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.5 sec

When a momentary power loss is detected, the AC drive will stop its output and will wait during a specified time interval called Base Block (entered in Pr.34) before resuming operation.
Setting of this parameter should make the residual output voltage due to regeneration almost zero, before the drive resumes operation.
**** This parameter also determines the search time when performing external Base-Block and Fault Reset (Pr.72).

Pr.35

Maximum Current Level for Speed Search Unit: 1%
Settings 30 to 200% Factory Setting: 150

**** Following a power failure, the AC drive will start its speed search operation only if the output current is greater than the value determined by Pr.35. When the output current is less than that of Pr.35, the AC drive output frequency is at a “speed synchronization point” and will accelerate or decelerate back to the operating frequency at which it was running prior to the power failure.DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases - Figure

The analog output voltage is directly proportional to the output frequency of the AC drive. A setting of 100% on Pr.44 makes the Maximum Output Frequency (Pr.03) of the AC drive to correspond to the +10VDC analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10VDC, and can be adjusted by Pr.44)
The analog output voltage is also directly proportional to the output current of the AC drive. A setting of 100% on Pr.44 makes the 2.5 times rated current of the AC drive to correspond to the +10 VDC analog voltage output. (The actual voltage is about +10 VDC, and can be adjusted by Pr.44)
Note: Any type of voltmeter can be used. If the meter reads full scale at a voltage less than 10 volts, then Pr.44 should be set by the following formula:
Pr.44 = ((meter full scale voltage)/10)×100%
For Example: When using a meter with a full scale of 5 volts, adjust Pr.44 to 50%

An analog input voltage 0-8.33V (or current 4-13.33mA) would set frequency as 0-60Hz.Once the Maximum Output Frequency is reached any further increase on the potentiometer will not increase output frequency (If you want to use the range of 60Hz, please refer to the example 3).DELTA

3.3 ADR (Communication Address)
Valid communication addresses are in the range of 0 to 254. An address equals to 0 means a broadcast to all AC drives (AMD) in the network. In this case, the AMD will not reply to the master device.
For example, communication to AMD with address 16 decimal:
ASCII mode: (ADR 1, ADR 0)=’1’,’0’ => ‘1’=31H, ‘0’=30H
RTU mode: (ADR)=10H
3.4 Function (Function code) and DATA (data characters)
The format of data characters depends on the function code. The available function codes are described as follows:
03H: read data from register
06H: write single data to register
10H: write multiple data to registers
Command code: 03H, read N words. The maximum value of N is 12. For example, reading continuous 2 words from starting address 2102H of AMD with address 01H.

CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) is calculated by the following steps:
Step 1: Load a 16-bit register (called CRC register) with FFFFH.
Step 2: Exclusive OR the first 8-bit byte of the command message with the low order byte of the 16bit CRC register, putting the result in the CRC register.
Step 3: Shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB zero filling. Extract and examine the LSB.
Step 4: If the LSB of CRC register is 0, repeat step 3, else Exclusive or the CRC register with the polynomial value A001H.
Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete 8-bit byte will have been processed.
Step 6: Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the next 8-bit byte of the command message.
Continue doing this until all bytes have been processed. The final contents of the CRC register is the CRC value. When transmitting the CRC value in the message, the upper and lower bytes of the CRC value must be swapped, i.e. the lower order byte will be transmitted first.
The following is an example of CRC generation using C language. The function takes two arguments:
Unsigned char data ← a pointer to the message buffer
Unsigned char length ← the quantity of bytes in the message buffer
The function returns the CRC value as a type of unsigned integer.
Unsigned int crc_chk(unsigned char
data, unsigned char length){int j; unsigned int reg_crc=0xFFFF;
while(length–){
reg_crc ^= data++;
for(j=0;j<8;j++){
if(reg_crc & 0x01){ /
LSB(b0)=1 */
reg_crc=(reg_crc>>1) ^ 0xA001;
}else{
reg_crc=reg_crc >>1;
}
}
}
return reg_crc;
}

Pr.96 Count Down Completion
Settings 00 to 9999
Factory Setting: 00
**This parameter defines the top count value for the VFD-M internal counter. Please also see Pr.45 and Pr.46 (setting 13). Counting is incremented when the Multi-Function Input Terminal M1 or M2, makes a low-to-high transition. Upon completion of the count, either Multi-Function Output Terminal (MO1) or the Multi-Function Relay Contact (RA, RB) will close.
Pr.97 Preset Count Down Completion
Settings 00 to 9999
Factory Setting: 00
**
This parameter sets a preliminary count value for the internal counter. Counter is incremented by a low-to-high transition on one of the programmed Multi-Function Input Terminals: M1 or M2 (see Pr.44 or Pr.45, setting 14). Count starts at 01. Upon completion the selected Multi Function Output Terminal will close. Preliminary Count could be used to initiate an external event before the “terminal count” is reached. (See Pr.38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 45, and 46 for further details.)

03 Auto acceleration/deceleration
04 Linear Accel/Decel Stall Prevention during Deceleration
(Please refer to Accel/Decel time setting at parameter Pr.10-Pr.13)
**
When this parameter is set to 03, the AC drive will accel/decel in the fastest and smoothest possible way by automatically adjusting the accel /decel time.
**This parameter provides five modes to choose:
00 Linear acceleration and deceleration (operation by Pr.10, Pr.11, or Pr.12, Pr.13 acceleration/deceleration time)
01 Automatic acceleration, linear deceleration (Operation by automatic acceleration,
Pr.11 or Pr.13 deceleration time).
02 Linear acceleration and automatic deceleration (Operation by automatic deceleration time, Pr.10 or Pr.12 acceleration time).
03 Automatic acceleration, deceleration (Operation by AC drive auto adjustable control)
04 If this parameter is set to 04, Accel/Decel time will be equal to or more than parameter Pr.10 ~Pr.13.
**
This parameter should not be used when a brake unit is installed.
Pr.102 Auto Voltage Regulation (AVR)
Factory Setting: 00
Settings
00 AVR function enabled
01 AVR function disabled
02 AVR function disabled when stop
03 AVR function disabled for deceleration
AVR function automatically regulates the AC drive output voltage to the Maximum Output Voltage (Pr.03). For instance, if Pr.03 is set at 200 VAC and the input voltage varies from 200V to 264VAC, then the Maximum Output Voltage will automatically be regulated to 200VAC.
When the AVR function is disabled, the Maximum Output Voltage follows the variations of the input voltage (180V to 264VAC).
** Selecting program value 2 enables the AVR function and also disables the AVR function during deceleration. This offers a quicker deceleration.
Pr.103 Auto Tune Motor parameters
Factory Setting: 00
Settings
00 Disable
01 Auto tune for R1

Factory Setting: 3.0
**
Example of Slip calculation: The rated speed of 4 poles/3Ø/ 60Hz/ 220V on the nameplate is 1710RPM. The rated slip is then: 60-(1710/(120/P))=3Hz. (being P the number of poles)
Pr.107 Vector Voltage Filter
Unit: 2ms
Settings 5 to 9999
Factory Setting: 10
Pr.108 Vector Slip Compensation Filter
Unit: 2ms
Settings 25 to 9999
Factory Setting: 50
This parameter sets the low-pass filter in vector control.
Example: Pr. 107 = 10 X 2ms =20ms, Pr. 108 = 50 X 2 ms =100ms.
Pr.109
Selection for Zero Speed Control
Factory Setting: 00
Settings
00 No output
01 Control by DC voltage
**This parameter is used to select the control method at zero speed. If set to 01, the voltage in
Pr.110 is used for holding torque.
Pr.110
Voltage of Zero Speed Control
Unit: 0.1%
Settings 0.0 to 20.0 % of Max. output voltage (Pr.05)
Factory Setting: 5.0
**
This parameter should be used in conjunction with Pr.109.
**Example: if Pr.05 = 100 and this parameter is set to 20.0, the level of output voltage is 100X20.0% = 20.
Pr.111 Deceleration S Curve
Settings
00 to 07
Factory Setting: 00
**
When this parameter is set differently to zero, it selects a deceleration S-curve and overrides
Pr.14. Otherwise, Pr.14 sets the deceleration S-curve.
Note: From the diagram shown below, the original setting accel/decel time will be for reference when the function of the S-curve is enabled. The actual accel/decel time will be determined based on the S-curve selected (1 to 7).
Pr.112

External Terminal Scanning Time Unit: 2msec
Settings 01 to 20 Factory Setting: 01

This function screens the signal on I/O terminals for CPU malfunctions due to external transients. A setting of 02, makes the scanning time to be 2 x 2 = 4 msec.
Set Pr.77 to 02 before changing settings in Pr.112.
Pr.113 Restart Method after Fault (oc, ov, BB)
Factory Setting: 01
Settings
00 None speed search

Select an input terminal to be the PID feedback. Please verify the PID feedback position is different from the Frequency Set Point position.
Negative feedback = positive targeted value – detective value. Positive feedback = negative targeted value + detective value.
Pr. 117 Proportional Gain (P)

Settings 0.0 to 10.0 Factory Setting: 1.0

This parameter determines the feedback loop Gain. If the gain is large, the response will be strong and immediate (If the gain is too large, vibration may occur). If the gain is small, the response will be weak and slow.
When I=0.0 and D=0.0, it is only used for proportional control.
Pr. 118

Integral Time (I) Unit: 0.01sec

Factory Setting: 1.00
Settings

** This parameter determines the speed of response for the PID feedback loop. If the integral time is long, the response will be slow. If the integral time is short, the response will be quick. Be careful not to set (I) too small, since a rapid response may cause oscillation in the PID loop.
Pr. 119**

Differential Time (D) Unit: 0.01sec
Settings 0.00 to 1.00 sec Factory Setting: 0.00

** This parameter determines the damping effect for the PID feedback loop. If the differential time is long, any oscillation will quickly subside. If the differential time is short, the oscillation will subside slowly.
Pr. 120** Integration’s Upper Bound Frequency

Settings 00 to 100 % Factory Setting: 100 %

****This parameter determines the integration’s upper frequency limit while operating in the PID feedback loop. (Limit = Pr.03×Pr.120). During a fast Integration response, it is possible for the frequency to surpass a reasonable point. This parameter will help limit this frequency spike.

Pr. 121

One-Time Delay Unit: 0.1sec

Factory Setting: 0.0
Settings 0.0 to 2.5 sec

PI Control: When controlled by P action only, deviations cannot be eliminated entirely. To eliminate residual deviations, the P + I control is generally utilized. If PI is used, it could eliminate the deviation caused by set-point changes and external interferences. However, if the I-action is excessively powerful, it will delay the response to the variation. The P-action could solely be used on a loading system that possesses integral components.
PD Control: when a deviation occurs, the system immediately generates some operational load that is greater than the single load generated by the D-action in order to restrain the increment of the deviation. If the deviation is small, the effectiveness of the P-action decreases as well. In some cases, control systems include integral component loads, which are controlled by the P action only, and sometimes, if the integral component is functioning, the whole system will be vibrating. In such cases, a PD control could be used to lower the Paction’s vibration and to stabilize the system. In other words, this control is good for use if the loads have no braking functions over the process.
** PID Control: Uses the I-action to eliminate the deviation and the D-action to restrain the vibration, and combine with the P action to construct the PID control. The PID control method normally determines a control process with no deviations, high accuracy and very stable.
Pr. 122** PID Frequency Output Command limit

Settings 00 to 110 % Factory Setting: 100

5.13 Electromagnetic/Induction Noise
Many sources of noise surround AC motor drives and penetrate it by radiation or conduction. It may cause malfunctioning of the control circuits and even damage the AC motor drive. Of course, there are solutions to increase the noise tolerance of an AC motor drive. But this has its limits. Therefore, solving it from the outside as follows will be the best.

  1. Add surge suppressor on the relays and contacts to suppress switching surges.
  2. Shorten the wiring length of the control circuit or serial communication and keep them separated from the power circuit wiring.
  3. Comply with the wiring regulations by using shielded wires and isolation amplifiers for long length.
  4. The grounding terminal should comply with the local regulations and be grounded independently, i.e. not to have common ground with electric welding machines and other power equipment.
  5. Connect a noise filter at the mains input terminal of the AC motor drive to filter noise from the power circuit. VFD-M can have a filter as option.

In short, solutions for electromagnetic noise exist of “no product”(disconnect disturbing equipment), “no spread”(limit emission for disturbing equipment) and “no receive”(enhance immunity).
5.14 Environmental Condition
Since the AC motor drive is an electronic device, you should comply with the environmental conditions. Here are some remedial measures if necessary.

  1. To prevent vibration, the use of anti-vibration dampers is the last choice. Vibrations must be within the specification. Vibration causes mechanical stress and it should not occur frequently, continuously or repeatedly to prevent damage to the AC motor drive.
  2. Store the AC motor drive in a clean and dry location, free from corrosive fumes/dust to prevent corrosion and poor contacts. Poor insulation in a humid location can cause short-circuits. If necessary, install the AC motor drive in a dust-proof and painted enclosure and in particular situations, use a completely sealed enclosure.
  3. The ambient temperature should be within the specification. Too high or too low temperature will affect the lifetime and reliability. For semiconductor components, damage will occur once any specification is out of range. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically check air quality and the cooling fan and provide extra cooling of necessary. In addition, the microcomputer may not work in extremely low temperatures, making cabinet heating necessary.
  4. Store within a relative humidity range of 0% to 90% and non-condensing environment.
    Use an air conditioner and/or exicator.

5.15 Affecting Other Machines
An AC motor drive may affect the operation of other machines due to many reasons. Some solutions are:
▮ High Harmonics at Power Side
High harmonics at power side during running can be improved by:

  1. Separate the power system: use a transformer for AC motor drive.
  2. Use a reactor at the power input terminal of the AC motor drive.
  3. If phase lead capacitors are used (never on the AC motor drive output!!), use serial reactors to prevent damage to the capacitors damage from high harmonics.

DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases - High Harmonics at Power
Side

▮ Motor Temperature Rises
When the motor is a standard induction motor with fan, the cooling will be bad at low speeds, causing the motor to overheat. Besides, high harmonics at the output increases copper and core losses. The following measures should be used depending on load and operation range.

  1. Use a motor with independent ventilation (forced external cooling) or increase the motor rated power.
  2. Use a special inverter duty motor.
  3. Do NOT run at low speeds for long time.

Chapter 6 Fault Code Information and Maintenance

6.1 Fault Code Information
The AC motor drive has a comprehensive fault diagnostic system that includes several different alarms and fault messages. Once a fault is detected, the corresponding protective functions will be activated. The following faults are displayed as shown on the AC motor drive digital keypad display. The three most recent faults can be read from the digital keypad by viewing Pr.73 to Pr.75.

Wait 5 seconds after a fault has been cleared before performing reset via keypad or input terminal.

  2. Set external terminal to “RESET” (set one of Pr.39~Pr.42 to 05) and then set to be ON.
  3. Send “RESET” command by communication.


Make sure that RUN command or signal is OFF before executing RESET to prevent damage or personal injury due to immediate operation.
6.2 Maintenance and Inspections
Modern AC motor drives are based on solid-state electronics technology. Preventive maintenance is required to keep the AC motor drive in its optimal condition, and to ensure a long life. It is recommended to have a qualified technician perform a check-up of the AC motor drive regularly.
Daily Inspection:
Basic check-up items to detect if there were any abnormalities during operation are:

  1. Whether the motors are operating as expected.
  2. Whether the installation environment is abnormal.
  3. Whether the cooling system is operating as expected.
  4. Whether any irregular vibration or sound occurred during operation.
  5. Whether the motors are overheating during operation.
  6. Always check the input voltage of the AC drive with a Voltmeter.

Periodic Inspection:
Before the check-up, always turn off the AC input power and remove the cover. Wait at least 10 minutes after all display lamps have gone out, and then confirm that the capacitors have fully discharged. It should be less than 25VDC.
DANGER!

  1. Disconnect AC power before processing!
  2. Only qualified personnel can install, wire and maintain AC motor drives. Please take off any metal objects, such as watches and rings, before operation. And only insulated tools are allowed.
  3. Never reassemble internal components or wiring.
  4. Prevent static electricity.

  1. Please select the brake unit and/or brake resistor according to the table. “-“ means no Delta product. Please use the brake unit according to the Equivalent Resistor Value.

  2. If damage to the drive or other equipment is due to the fact that the brake resistors and the brake modules in use are not provided by Delta, the warranty will be void.

  3. Take into consideration the safety of the environment when installing the brake resistors.

  4. If the minimum resistance value is to be utilized, consult local dealers for the calculation of the power in Watt.

  5. Please select thermal relay trip contact to prevent resistor over load. Use the contact to switch power off to the AC motor drive!

  6. When using more than 2 brake units, equivalent resistor value of parallel brake unit can’t be less than the value in the column “Minimum Equivalent Resistor Value for Each AC Drive” (the right-most column in the table).

  7. Please read the wiring information in the user manual of the brake unit thoroughly prior to installation and operation.

  8. In applications with brake resistor or brake unit, Pr.25 (Over-voltage stall prevention) must be disabled. And Pr.102 (AVR function) shall not be used.

  9. Definition for Braking Usage ED% Explanation: The definition of the barking usage ED(%) is for assurance of enough time for the brake unit and brake resistor to dissipate away heat generated by braking. When the brake resistor heats up, the resistance would increase with temperature, and braking torque would decrease accordingly. Suggest cycle time is one minute
    DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases - cycle time

  10. For safety reasons, install a thermal overload relay between brake unit and brake resistor. Together with the magnetic contactor (MC) in the mains supply circuit to the drive it offers protection in case of any malfunctioning. The purpose of installing the thermal overload relay is to protect the brake resistor against damage due to frequent braking or in case the brake unit is continuously on due to unusual high input voltage. Under these circumstances the thermal overload relay switches off the power to the drive. Never let the thermal overload relay switch off only the brake resistor as this will cause serious damage to the AC Motor Drive.

If users are to operate the AC motor drive in coordination with the EMI filters manufactured by DELTA, consult the above chart for the appropriate I/O terminals’ of the applicable filters.
** The filter will cause high leakage current. We recommend the grounding is required.
Installation
All electrical equipment, including AC motor drives, will generate high- frequency/low-frequency noise and will interfere with peripheral equipment by radiation or conduction when in operation. By using an EMI filter with correct installation, much interference can be eliminated. It is recommended to use DELTA EMI filter to have the best interference elimination performance.
We assure that it can comply with following rules when AC motor drive and EMI filter are installed and wired according to user manual:
EN61000-6-4
EN61800-3: 1996 + A11: 2000
EN55011 (1991) Class A Group 1 (1st Environment, restricted distribution)
General precaution**

  1. EMI filter and AC motor drive should be installed on the same metal plate.
  2. Please install AC motor drive on footprint EMI filter or install EMI filter as close as possible to the AC motor drive.
  3. Please wire as short as possible.
  4. Metal plate should be grounded.
  5. The cover of EMI filter and AC motor drive or grounding should be fixed on the metal plate and the contact area should be as large as possible.

Choose suitable motor cable and precautions
Improper installation and choice of motor cable will affect the performance of EMI filter. Be sure to observe the following precautions when selecting motor cable.

  1. Use the cable with shielding (double shielding is the best).
  2. The shielding on both ends of the motor cable should be grounded with the minimum length and maximum contact area.
  3. Remove any paint on metal saddle for good ground contact with the plate and shielding.

Remove any paint on metal saddle for good ground contact with the plate and shielding.

DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases - plate and
shielding

The length of motor cable
When motor is driven by an AC motor drive of PWM type, the motor terminals will experience surge voltages easily due to components conversion of AC motor drive and cable capacitance. When the motor cable is very long (especially for the 460V series), surge voltages may reduce insulation quality. To prevent this situation, please follow the rules below:

  • Use a motor with enhanced insulation.

  • Connect an output reactor (optional) to the output terminals of the AC motor drive

  • The length of the cable between AC motor drive and motor should be as short as possible (10 to 20 m or less)

  • For models 7.5hp/5.5kW and above:
    Insulation level of motor| 1000V| 1300V| 1600V
    ---|---|---|---
    460VAC input voltage| 66 ft (20m)| 328 ft (100m)| 1312 ft (400m)
    230VAC input voltage| 1312 ft (400m)| 1312 ft (400m)| 1312 ft (400m)

  • For models 5hp/3.7kW and less:
    Insulation level of motor| 1000V| 1300V| 1600V
    ---|---|---|---
    460VAC input voltage| 66 ft (20m)| 165 ft (50m)| 165 ft (50m)
    230VAC input voltage| 328 ft (100m)| 328 ft (100m)| 328 ft (100m)

  • When a thermal O/L relay protected by motor is used between AC motor drive and motor, it may malfunction (especially for 460V series), even if the length of motor cable is only 165 ft (50m) or less. To prevent it, please use AC reactor and/or lower the carrier frequency (Pr. 71 PWM carrier frequency).

  • Never connect phase lead capacitors or surge absorbers to the output terminals of the AC motor drive.

  • If the length is too long, the stray capacitance between cables will increase and may cause leakage current. It will activate the protection of over current, increase leakage current or not insure the correction of current display. The worst case is that AC motor drive may damage.

  • If more than one motor is connected to the AC motor drive, the total wiring length is the sum of the wiring length from AC motor drive to each motor.

Appendix C How to Select the Right AC Motor Drive

The choice of the right AC motor drive for the application is very important and has great influence on its lifetime. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too large, it cannot offer complete protection to the motor and motor maybe damaged. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too small, it cannot offer the required performance and the AC motor drive maybe damaged due to overloading.
But by simply selecting the AC motor drive of the same capacity as the motor, user application requirements cannot be met completely. Therefore, a designer should consider all the conditions, including load type, load speed, load characteristic, operation method, rated output, rated speed, power and the change of load capacity. The following table lists the factors you need to consider, depending on your requirements.

C.2 General Precaution
Selection Note

  1. When the AC Motor Drive is connected directly to a large-capacity power transformer (600kVA or above) or when a phase lead capacitor is switched, excess peak currents may occur in the power input circuit and the converter section may be damaged. To avoid this, use an AC input reactor (optional) before AC Motor Drive mains input to reduce the current and improve the input power efficiency.
  2. When a special motor is used or more than one motor is driven in parallel with a single AC Motor Drive, select the AC Motor Drive current ≥1.25x(Sum of the motor rated currents).
  3. The starting and accel./decel. characteristics of a motor are limited by the rated current and the overload protection of the AC Motor Drive. Compared to running the motor D.O.L. (Direct On-Line), a lower starting torque output with AC Motor Drive can be expected. If higher starting torque is required (such as for elevators, mixers, tooling machines, etc.) use an AC Motor Drive of higher capacity or increase the capacities for both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.
  4. When an error occurs on the drive, a protective circuit will be activated and the AC Motor Drive output is turned off. Then the motor will coast to stop. For an emergency stop, an external mechanical brake is needed to quickly stop the motor.

Parameter Settings Note

  1. The AC Motor Drive can be driven at an output frequency up to 400Hz (less for some models) with the digital keypad. Setting errors may create a dangerous situation. or safety, the use of the upper limit frequency function is strongly recommended.
  2. High DC braking operating voltages and long operation time (at low frequencies) may cause overheating of the motor. In that case, forced external motor cooling is recommended.
  3. Motor accel./decel. time is determined by motor rated torque, load torque, and load inertia.
  4. If the stall prevention function is activated, the accel./decel. time is automatically extended to a length that the AC Motor Drive can handle. If the motor needs to decelerate within a certain time with high load inertia that can’t be handled by the AC Motor Drive in the required time, either use an external brake resistor and/or brake unit, depending on the model, (to shorten deceleration time only) or increase the capacity for both the motor and the AC Motor Drive.

C.3 How to Choose a Suitable Motor
Standard motor
When using the AC Motor Drive to operate a standard 3-phase induction motor, take the following precautions:

  1. The energy loss is greater than for an inverter duty motor.

  2. Avoid running motor at low speed for a long time. Under this condition, the motor temperature may rise above the motor rating due to limited airflow produced by the motor’s fan. Consider external forced motor cooling.

  3. When the standard motor operates at low speed for long time, the output load must be decreased.

  4. The load tolerance of a standard motor is as follows:DELTA VFD-M Series Inverter 3 Phases - standard motor

  5. If 100% continuous torque is required at low speed, it may be necessary to use a special inverter duty motor.

  6. Motor dynamic balance and rotor endurance should be considered once the operating speed exceeds the rated speed (60Hz) of a standard motor.

  7. Motor torque characteristics vary when an AC Motor Drive instead of commercial power supply drives the motor. Check the load torque characteristics of the machine to be connected.

  8. Because of the high carrier frequency PWM control of the VFD series, pay attention to the following motor vibration problems:
    Resonant mechanical vibration: anti-vibration (damping) rubbers should be used to mount equipment that runs at varying speed.
    Motor imbalance: special care is required for operation at 50 or 60 Hz and higher frequency.
    To avoid resonances, use the Skip frequencies.

  9. The motor fan will be very noisy when the motor speed exceeds 50 or 60Hz.

Special motors:

  1. Pole-changing (Dahlander) motor:
    The rated current is differs from that of a standard motor. Please check before operation and select the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When changing the pole number the motor needs to be stopped first. If over current occurs during operation or regenerative voltage is too high, please let the motor free run to stop (coast).

  2. Submersible motor:
    The rated current is higher than that of a standard motor. Please check before operation and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. With long motor cable between AC motor drive and motor, available motor torque is reduced.

  3. Explosion-proof (Ex) motor:
    Needs to be installed in a safe place and the wiring should comply with the (Ex) requirements. Delta AC Motor Drives are not suitable for (Ex) areas with special precautions.

  4. Gear reduction motor:
    The lubricating method of reduction gearbox and speed range for continuous operation will be different and depending on brand. The lubricating function for operating long time at low speed and for high-speed operation needs to be considered carefully.

  5. Synchronous motor:
    The rated current and starting current are higher than for standard motors. Please check before operation and choose the capacity of the AC motor drive carefully. When the AC motor drive operates more than one motor, please pay attention to starting and changing the motor.

Power Transmission Mechanism
Pay attention to reduced lubrication when operating gear reduction motors, gearboxes, belts and chains, etc. over longer periods at low speeds. At high speeds of 50/60Hz and above, lifetime reducing noises and vibrations may occur.
Motor torque
The torque characteristics of a motor operated by an AC motor drive and commercial mains power are different.
