Break-away torque

VLT

The efficiency of the adjustable frequency drive is defined as the ratio between the power output

and the power input.

Start-disable command

A stop command belonging to the group 1 control commands - see this group.

Stop command

See Control commands.

References:

Analog Reference

A signal transmitted to the analog inputs 53 or 54 can be voltage or current.

Binary Reference

A signal transmitted to the serial communication port.

Preset Reference

A defined preset reference to be set from -100% to +100% of the reference range. Selection of

eight preset references via the digital terminals.

Pulse Reference

A pulse frequency signal transmitted to the digital inputs (terminal 29 or 33).

Ref

MAX

Determines the relationship between the reference input at 100% full scale value (typically 10 V,

20 mA) and the resulting reference. The maximum reference value set in par. 3-03.

Ref

MIN

Determines the relationship between the reference input at 0% value (typically 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA)

and the resulting reference. The minimum reference value set in par. 3-02.

Miscellaneous:

Analog Inputs

The analog inputs are used for controlling various functions of the adjustable frequency drive.

There are two types of analog inputs:

Current input, 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA

Voltage input, 0-10 V DC (FC 301)

Voltage input, -10 - +10 V DC (FC 302).

Analog Outputs

The analog outputs can supply a signal of 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, or a digital signal.

Automatic Motor Adaptation, AMA

AMA algorithm determines the electrical parameters for the connected motor at standstill.

Brake Resistor

The brake resistor is a module capable of absorbing the braking energy generated in regenerative

braking. This regenerative braking energy increases the intermediate circuit voltage, while a brake

chopper ensures that the energy is transmitted to the brake resistor.

CT Characteristics

Constant torque characteristics used for all applications such as conveyor belts, displacement

pumps and cranes.

Digital Inputs

The digital inputs can be used for controlling various functions of the adjustable frequency drive.

Digital Outputs

The drive features two solid state outputs that can supply a 24 V DC (max. 40 mA) signal.

DSP

Digital Signal Processor.

ETR

Electronic Thermal Relay is a thermal load calculation based on present load and time. Its purpose

is to estimate the motor temperature.

Hiperface

Initializing

If initializing is carried out (par. 14-22), the adjustable frequency drive returns to the default

setting.

Intermittent Duty Cycle

An intermittent duty rating refers to a sequence of duty cycles. Each cycle consists of an on-load

and an off-load period. The operation can be either periodic duty or non-periodic duty.

LCP

The Local Control Panel (LCP) makes up a complete interface for control and programming of the

FC 300 Series. The control panel is detachable and can be installed up to 9.8 ft (3 meters) from

the adjustable frequency drive, i.e. in a front panel by means of the installation kit option.

lsb

Least significant bit.

msb

Most significant bit.

MCM

Short for Mille Circular Mil, an American measuring unit for cable cross-section. 1 MCM = 0.00079

[0.5067 mm

Online/Offline Parameters

Changes to online parameters are activated immediately after the data value is changed. Changes

to offline parameters are not activated until you enter [OK] on the LCP.

Process PID

The PID regulator maintains the desired speed, pressure, temperature, etc. by adjusting the out-

put frequency to match the varying load.

Pulse Input/Incremental Encoder

An external, digital pulse transmitter used for feeding back information on motor speed. The en-

coder is used in applications where great accuracy in speed control is required.

RCD

Residual Current Device.

Set-up

You can save parameter settings in four set-ups. Change between the four parameter set-ups and

edit one while another set-up is active.

SFAVM

Switching pattern called Stator Flux-oriented Asynchronous Vector Modulation (par. 14-00).

Slip Compensation

The adjustable frequency drive compensates for the motor slip by giving the frequency a supple-

ment that follows the measured motor load, thus keeping the motor speed almost constant.
