1. Receiving and Handling Instructions
This will be a short overview of the entire section.
1.1 Receiving Inspection
Visually inspect the system for obvious shipping damage. If you detect shipping
damage, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada, LLC.
1.2 Handling and Storage Considerations
Proper handling and storing of printed circuit boards is extremely critical. Circuit
boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to
electrostatic charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board will
void the warranty. To avoid damage, observe the following precautions in the
order given.
Application Advisory
Machinery protection will be lost when
you remove all power from the rack.
• Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools or
procedures that would subject the circuit board to static damage.
Some possible causes of static damage include ungrounded soldering
irons, nonconductive plastics, and similar materials.
• Use a suitable grounding strap (such as 3M Velostat® No. 2060) to
ground yourself before handling or performing maintenance on a
printed circuit board.
• Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or
foil.
• Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30%
tends to multiply the accumulation of static charges on any surface.
When performed properly, you may remove modules from or install modules into
the rack while power is applied to the rack. Refer to << Section reference to
“Module Installation in section 4 >> for the proper procedure.
2. General Information
Monitoring and computerized vibration information systems provide the
information you need to assess the mechanical condition of rotating and
reciprocating machinery. These systems continuously measure and monitor
various supervisory parameters and provide crucial information for early
identification of machinery problems such as imbalance, misalignment, shaft
crack, and bearing failures. As such, these systems are an efficient and effective
means of satisfying plant management, engineering, and maintenance concerns
for:
• Increasing plant safety by minimizing the occurrence of hazardous
conditions or catastrophic failures.
• Improving product quality by minimizing process variances caused by
improperly operating equipment.
• Maximizing plant availability by servicing only those machines that
require it and providing more efficient turnarounds.
• Reducing plant operating costs by minimizing unplanned shutdowns
and by making more efficient use of maintenance resources.
For protection of critical machinery, we highly recommend that you permanently
install continuous monitoring systems. The term “protection” means that the
system can shut down machinery on alarm, without human interaction. These
systems include applicable transducers, each with its own dedicated monitoring
circuitry and alarm setpoints. The 3500 Monitoring System is the newest addition
to the family of continuous monitoring systems offered by Bently Nevada, LLC.

weatherproof housing will not accommodate a Display Unit or VGA Display.
2.3.2 Rack
2 types of 3500 racks are available: the full-size 19-inch rack and the compact 12-
inch Mini-rack. Each rack requires you to install the Power Supplies and Rack
Interface Module (RIM) in specific locations. The full-size version offers 14
additional rack positions and the Mini-rack offers 7 additional rack positions. You
may use these positions to install any combination of modules. Both racks
support Standard (non-redundant) and Triple Modular Redundant (TMR)
configurations.
2.3.3 Power Supply
The Power Supply is a half-height module available in ac and dc versions. You
can install 1 or 2 power supplies in the rack. Each power supply can power a fully
loaded rack. When you install 2 power supplies in a rack, the supply in the lower
slot acts as the primary supply and the supply in the upper slot acts as the
backup supply. If the primary supply fails, the backup supply will provide power to
the rack without interrupting rack operation. The 3500 design allows you to
install any combination of power supply types.
Overspeed Detection and TMR Monitors require dual power supplies.
2.3.4 Rack Interface Module
The Rack Interface Module (RIM) is a full-height module that communicates with
the host (computer), a Bently Nevada™ Communication Processor, and the other
modules in the rack. The Rack Interface Module also maintains the System Event
List and the Alarm Event List. You can daisy-chain this module to the Rack
Interface Modules in other racks and to the Data Acquisition / DDE Server
Software. The 3500 Monitoring System Computer Hardware and Software Manual
shows how to daisy chain the Rack Interface Modules together. Rack Interface
Modules are available in Standard, Triple Modular Redundant and Transient Data
Interface versions.
2.3.5 Communication Gateway Module
The Communication Gateway Module is a full-height module that allows external
devices (such as a DCS or a PLC) to retrieve information from the rack and to set
up portions of the rack configuration. You can install more than one
Communication Gateway Module in the same rack. Communication Gateway
Modules are available for a variety of network protocols.
2.3.6 Monitor Module
The Monitor Modules are full-height modules that collect data from a variety of
transducers. You can install any combination of Monitor Modules in the 3500
rack.
2.3.7 Relay Module
Relay Modules provide relays that you can configure to close or open based on
channel statuses from other monitors in the 3500 rack. Relay modules are
available in 4-channel, 16-channel, and 4-channel Triple Modular Redundant
(TMR) versions.
The TMR Relay Module is a half-height 4-channel module that operates in a TMR
system. 2 half-height TMR Relay Modules must operate in the same slot. If you
remove the upper or lower Relay Module or the system declares one of the
modules as Not OK, then the other Relay Module will control the Relay I/O Module.
2.3.8 Keyphasor® Module
The Keyphasor Module is a half-height module that provides power for the
Keyphasor transducers, conditions the Keyphasor signals, and sends the signals
to the other modules in the rack. The Keyphasor Module also calculates the rpm
values sent to the host (computer) and external devices (DCS or PLC) and provides
buffered Keyphasor outputs. Each Keyphasor Module supports 2 channels. You
may place up to 2 Keyphasor Modules in a 3500 rack for a maximum of 4
Keyphasor channels. If you use 2 Keyphasor Modules, you must place them in the
same full-height slot and the modules will share a common I/O module.
2.3.9 Display Module
The 3500 system offers multiple display options.
The Display Interface Module can display rack data on an LCD-based Interface
unit or a 3rd-party Modbus® based display unit.
The VGA Display Module will display rack data on certain touch screen VGA
Displays.
The Integrated PC display is a complete rack mount touch screen PC pre-loaded
with rack configuration software and display utilities.
2.3.10 Earthing Module
The Earthing Module is a full-height module that provides a low resistance
connection (must be less than 1 Ω) from the 3500 rack to the plant’s intrinsically
safe earth ground. The module operates in conjunction with the 3500 internal
zener barrier I/O modules. Your application will require 1 Earthing Module per rack
when internal barrier I/O modules are used.
2.4 Standard Rack Relay Options
You can configure the standard (or non-TMR) 3500 rack to have individual relays,
bussed relays, or a combination of individual and bussed relays.
2.4.1 Individual Relays
A rack with individual relays contains 1 or more relay cards for each monitor
module. You can configure the monitor and relay modules within a 3500 rack in
many ways.
Example 1: The application uses 1 relay module 1 monitor module.
Table 2-1: 1 Relay Module Used With 1 Monitor Module
2.5 Intrinsic Safety — The 3500 Internal Barrier System
To provide Intrinsically Safe (IS) vibration and process variable monitoring, the
3500 system has a range of I/O modules with internal zener barriers. When you
install these modules in a 3500 rack with a 3500/04-01 Earthing Module, they
provide an integrated solution for explosion protection for approved Bently
Nevada transducer systems that are located within all classifications of
hazardous areas (surface industries other than mining).
2.5.1 3500 Internal Barrier System Restrictions
• You must install 1 earthing module in each rack in the internal barrier
system. The earthing module occupies 1 slot position in the rack when it
uses Internal Barrier I/O modules.
• You must change the grounding configuration of the 3500/15 Power
Supplies from the default factory setting. See the 3500/15 Operation and
Maintenance Manual (PN 129767-01) for instructions.
• You must isolate any RS-232 connection to any 3500 module. Monitors
that support RS232 connections include Rack Interface Modules,
Communication Gateways, and the 3500/95 PC Display. See the 3500/20
Operation and Maintenance Manual (PN 129768-01) for instructions. This
restriction does not apply to RS422 and RS485 connections to the rack.

3500/20, 3500/90, 3500/92, 3500/93, and 3500/95.
• You must not use the 3500/94 VGA Display in internal barrier systems.
• You must not use bussed transducers, as internal barrier systems do not
allow bussed transducers. See the TMR section of this manual for more
information.
2.5.2 3500 Internal Barrier System Features
• The earthing module supports dual IS Earth connections for cables with
cross-sectional areas up to 10 mm2. This module lets you test IS Earth
continuity online.
• The design of the internal barrier I/O modules provides the 2 inches (50
mm) of separation required between safe and hazardous area field wiring.
• The connectors for safe areas and hazardous areas have different field
wiring colors (green for safe and blue for hazardous) and connector
pitches. This helps to avoid incorrect field wiring installation.
• Quick connect/disconnect connectors simplify field wiring installation and
removal.

5.1 General Maintenance Instructions
You cannot repair the boards and components inside of 3500 modules in the field.
3500 rack maintenance consists of testing module channels to verify that they
are operating correctly. You should replace modules that are not operating
correctly with a spare.
When performed properly, you may remove modules from or install modules into
the rack while power is applied to the rack. Refer to Section 3 for the proper
procedure.
The 3500 Monitoring System is a high precision instrument that requires no
calibration. The functions of the 3500 modules, however, require verification at
regular intervals. You should verify all modules in the 3500 Monitoring System at
these maintenance intervals. The procedures in the Maintenance and
Troubleshooting sections of the module manuals describe the verification and
troubleshooting process.
5.2 Choosing a Maintenance Interval
Use the following approach to choose a maintenance interval:
1. Start with an interval of 1 year and then shorten the interval if any of the
following conditions apply:
• the monitored machine is classified as critical, or
• the 3500 rack is operating in a harsh environment such as in
extreme temperature, high humidity, or a corrosive atmosphere.
2. At each interval, use the results of the previous verifications and ISO

FEATURES/FUNCTIONS
Voltage Regulation
The DECS-200 regulates the generator RMS voltage to within
0.25% from no-load to full-load. It does this by utilizing digital
signal processing and precise regulation algorithms developed
by Basler Electric, utilizing the experience gained in many years
of manufacturing tens of thousands of digital voltage regulators.
Stability
The DECS-200 utilizes proportional (P), integral (I) and derivative
(D) stability control. DECS-200 has 20 preprogrammed stability
(PID) settings for exciter field applications. This means that a
standard stability setting is already available for most applications/machines. The DECS-200 has a stability range that allows
for customizing the stability settings to fine tune the stability to
provide optimum customized generator transient performance.
Setup software contains PID selection program to assist in
determining the correct PID settings. The DECS-200 provides for
customizing the stability and transient performance of the Min/
Max Excitation Limiter and var/PF controllers by providing
additional stability adjustments.
Underfrequency Limiter or V/Hz Ratio Limiter
DECS-200 is selectable for either Underfrequency Limiter or a
V/Hz Ratio Limiter function. The underfrequency limiter slope can
be tuned to have 0 to 3 times p.u. Volts/Hz, in 0.1Hz increments,
and the corner frequency roll-off point can be set across a range
of 45 to 65Hz, in 0.1Hz increments. This adjustability allows the
DECS-200 to precisely match the operating characteristics of the
prime mover and the loads being applied to the generator. The
Volts/Hz Ratio Limiter clamps the regulation set point to prevent
operation above a V/Hz level that is prescribed by the slope of the
DECS-200. This feature is also useful for other potentially
damaging system conditions such as a change in system voltage
and re-duced frequency situations that exceed the V/Hz ratio.
Soft Start Voltage Buildup
Generator voltage overshoot can be harmful to the generator’s
insulation system if not controlled. DECS-200 has a soft start
feature with a user-adjustable setting to govern the rate at which
the generator voltage is allowed to build up. This reduces the
amount of generator voltage overshoot form nominal operating
voltage during start-up of the generator system.
Paralleling Compensation
DECS-200 has provisions to parallel two or more generators
using reactive droop or reactive differential compensation with
the addition of an external current transformer with secondary
currents of 1 or 5Aac. The current input is rated at less than 1VA.
This low burden means that existing metering CTs can be used
and dedicated CTs are not required.
Set Point Control
DECS-200 has means for external set point adjustment of the
controlling mode of operation. This eliminates the need for
additional equipment like motor operated potentiometers for
remote control or multiple point control for the excitation system.
The operating mode’s set point may be directly controlled by
raise/lower contact inputs or auxiliary inputs of 4-20mA or
±10Vdc. The auxiliary input adjusts the operating mode across its
predetermined adjustment range. The auxiliary input can be
provided from other controlling devices such as a power
system stabilizer. These devices modify the operation of the
DECS-200 to meet specific operating characteristics and requirements for the machine under DECS-200 control. Two more
methods of set point control may be achieved via the RS-232
communication port by using the Windows® based PC software
or by the RS-485 port using Modbus™ protocol. Regardless of
which method of set point is used (contact inputs, auxiliary input
or communications with a PC or PLC), traverse rates of all modes
of operation are independently adjustable. This means an
operator can customize the rate of adjustment and “feel” to meet
his/her needs.
Pre-position Inputs
DECS-200 provides the added flexibility of allowing a predetermined operating point for each mode of operation. With a contact
input to the DECS-200, the operating mode is driven to an
operating or regulation level assigned to that operation mode by
the operator or user. The pre-position inputs operate in one of two
modes, Maintain or Release. The Maintain mode prevents
adjustment of the setpoint as long as the pre-position contact is
closed. The release mode allows adjustment of the setpoint even
though the pre-position is closed. This feature allows the DECS200 to be configured for specific system and application needs.
Field Current Regulation Operating Mode
DECS-200 provides a manual channel of operation called Field
Current Regulation, or FCR, Mode. In this mode, DECS-200
regulates the field current generated by the internal PWM power
stage. It does not rely on the sensing input to DECS-200 and is,
therefore, a good source of backup excitation control when loss
of sensing is detected. In this mode, control of the generator is
totally dependent upon the operator to maintain nominal generator voltage as the load varies on the generator.
Var/Power Factor Controller Operating Mode
DECS-200 has, as another standard feature, two modes of
operation when the generator is in parallel with the utility power
grid. The DECS-200 has both var and PF modes of operation.
When the generator is in parallel with the utility grid, the DECS200 can regulate the var output of the generator to a specific var
level magnitude or it can vary the var output of the generator to
maintain a specific power factor as the kW load varies on the
generator.
Maximum Excitation Limiters
Overexcitation limiting (OEL) operates in all modes except FCR
mode. OEL senses the field current output of the voltage regulator or static exciter and limits the field current to prevent field
overheating. In FCR mode, the DECS-200 only announces that all
conditions for OEL are fulfilled and does not provide limiting. The
DECS-200 provides two types of overexcitation: Summing Point
and Takeover.
Summing Point Type OEL
Three OEL current levels are defined for on-line operation. They
are high, medium, and low. The generator can operate continuously at the low OEL current level and for programmed times at
the high and medium OEL current levels. Two OEL current levels
are defined for off-line (main breaker open) operation. They are
high and low. The generator can operate continuously at the low
OEL current level and for a programmed time at the high OEL
current level.
FEATURES/FUNCTIONS, continued
Takeover Type OEL
The field current level at which limiting occurs is determined by an
inverse time characteristic. Two current levels and a time dial
setting are defined for the takeover-style OEL limiter. Separate
curves may be selected for on-line and off-line operation. If the
system enters an overexcitation condition, the field current is
limited and made to follow the selected curve. The selection of
on-line or off-line OEL levels/curves is determined by an OEL
option selection.
Minimum Excitation Limiter
The minimum excitation limiter limits the amount of excitation
supplied to the field of the generator from dropping below unsafe
operating levels. This prevents the machine from possibly slipping
poles and from damaging the machine. It limits the amount of
vars being absorbed by the machine, based on user-definable
settings. An internally generated Underexcitation Limiting (UEL)
curve can be utilized based on a var level at 0kW, or a
customizable 5 point UEL curve can be selected to match specific
generator characteristics.
Stator Current Limiter
The stator current limiter (SCL) senses the level of stator current
and limits it to prevent stator overheating. The SCL operates in all
modes except FCR. In FCR mode, the DECS-200 only announces
that a stator overcurrent condition exists; it does not provide
current limiting. Two SCL current levels are provided: high and
low. The generator can operate continuously at the low SCL level
but only for a programmed time at the high SCL level.
Internal Autotracking Between DECS-200 Operating
Modes
DECS-200 is an intelligent device that can provide autotracking
(autofollowing) of the controlling mode by the non-controlling
modes. This allows the operator to initiate a controlled, bumpless
transfer of the DECS-200 operating modes, causing minimum
amounts of line disturbance for the power system. This feature
can be used in conjunction with a set of protective relays to
initiate a transfer to a backup mode of operation, such as FCR
mode, upon the detection of a system failure or fault, i.e., loss of
sensing.
External Autotracking between Dual DECS-200 Units
(Optional)
A DECS-200 can also follow (autotrack) a second DECS-200 unit.
The second DECS-200 is put into a specific operating mode and
follows the excitation level of the first. In the unlikely event of a
failure of the first DECS-200, protective relays can initiate a
transfer of control from the first to the second DECS-200.
Protective Functions
There are several protection functions built into the DECS-200
unit. These functions may be used as backup to the primary
protection relays and can be assigned programmable output
contacts via the PC software. The protection features offer fully
adjustable tripping levels and time delays. The protective features
are as follows:
• Generator Overvoltage • Watchdog Timer
• Generator Undervoltage • Loss of Sensing
• Field Overvoltage • Loss of field
• Field Overcurrent • EDM Exciter Diode Monitor
Sequence of Events Recording (SER)
A sequence of event report (SER) is a very powerful tool when
reconstructing the exact timing of an event or disturbance. The
DECS-200 monitors its contact inputs and outputs for a change of
state, system operation changes, and alarm conditions. If any of
these events occurs, the DECS-200 will log that event with a date
and time stamp. Date and time stamping of the event allows the
user to recreate a chain of events in the sequence in which they
occurred. The DECS-200 can store 127 events in volatile
memory, and those events are retrievable using BESTCOMS.
Oscillography (See Figure 6)
The data recording feature can record up to eight (8) oscillographic records stored in volatile memory. The user can select up
to six (6) variables to be monitored when triggered by the DECS200 BESTCOMS, a Logic Trigger, or a Level Trigger. Variables
that can be selected are: generator voltage, current (single
phase), frequency, kW, Power Factor, exciter field voltage, and
current.
The user can utilize the DECS-200 BESTCOMS to trigger and
save a record of a voltage step response during commissioning.
Once commissioned, a logic trigger or level trigger can be used
to activate the data recorder to capture the occurrence for review
at a later time. DECS-200 alarms can also be used to start the
data recorder. When an alarm condition occurs, an oscillographic
record can be stored. A level trigger will initiate a record to be
saved when a variable exceeds a predetermined setting. An
example of this is when the exciter field current exceeds a
predetermined setting.
The oscillographic records are recorded in accordance with the
IEEE Standard Common Format for Transient Data Exchange
(COMTRADE). Basler Electric can provide BESTWAVE, a
COMTRADE viewer, which is a program that will allow the user to
view the oscillography records saved by the DECS-200.
Communications
DECS-200 comes complete with Windows® based PC software.
This software makes the programming and customization of the
DECS-200 easy and fast. The software comes with a PID
selection program that allows the user to select stability settings
quickly and easily in a user-friendly format. The PC software has a
special monitoring function that allows the user to view all
settings, a metering screen for viewing all machine parameters,
and a control screen for remote control of the excitation system.
The RS-485 port supports Modbus™ communications protocol.
This is an open protocol with all registers and operating instructions available in the instruction manual, to make it simple for the
user to develop custom communications-based interface.
Password Protection
All DECS-200 parameters are viewable via the front panel LCD
display, the PC software or via Modbus™ without the need of a
password. If the user wishes to change a setting, the proper
password must be entered to allow access to the parameter. Two
levels of password protection exist, one for global access of all
parameters and one for a limited amount of access to parameters
normally associated with operator control.
FRONT and SIDE PANEL VIEWS
The front panel HMI (Human Machine Interface) is composed of several elements, including a backlit LCD screen, six (6) pushbuttons and six (6) LEDs. The LCD is the primary interface because it conveys the majority of the information between the DECS-200 and the user/operator. Front panel pushbuttons allow the user to view menu screens and modify the various screen settings and operating conditions. The LEDs annunciate their respective states.
A) 64×128 pixel graphic LCD with backlighting. Primary source for receiving information from the DECS or when locally programming settings. Displays operations, set points, loop gains, metering, protection functions, system parameters and general settings. B) Pre-Position LED – Turns ON at the predefined setting (within the limits of the setpoints) of the current mode. C) Lower Limit LED – Turns ON at the minimum set point value of the current (active) mode. D) Upper Limit LED – Turns ON at the maximum set point value of the current mode. E) Scrolling Pushbuttons – Scrolls UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT through the menu tree or when in the EDIT mode, the LEFT/RIGHT scrolling pushbuttons select the variable to change and the UP/DOWN scrolling pushbuttons change the variable. F) Reset Pushbutton – Cancels editing sessions and can be used as a quick-access to the metering screen. G) Serial Port COM0 – D-type 9 pin connector. This port is dedicated to RS-232 (ASCII commands) communication with a computer terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program such as BESTCOMS™. H) Edit Pushbutton – Enables settings changes. When the EDIT pushbutton is first pushed, an LED on the pushbutton turns ON to indicate the edit mode is active. When changes are complete (using the scrolling pushbuttons) and the EDIT pushbutton is pushed again, the LED turns OFF, indicating the changes are saved. If changes are not completed and saved within five minutes, the edit mode is exited without saving changes. I) Null Balance LED – Turns ON when the inactive modes (AVR, FCR, var, or PF) match the active mode. J) Internal tracking LED – All inactive modes (AVR, FCR, var, or PF) track the active mode to accomplish the bumpless transfer when changing active modes.
The Ethernet Manual is the same for all ALSTOM Power Service controllers equipped with Ethernet. Therefore reference to specific controller names such as EPIC or EFFIC will not be used from this point, instead the general term “controller” will be used. This Ethernet Manual contains information for the Designing Engineers on the pre-commissioning of the Ethernet network. It also contains information for Shift Operators on the PC-MTU software, which is a software used for setting up, operating and monitoring an installation of several controllers in the network. The PC-MTU software is linked together with the web pages on the controllers built-in web server. These web pages are the interface used to configure each individual controller.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION and CONFIGURATION
This section covers the hardware configurations using the switches, jumpers, connectors, and power connections when used with a brush, brushless, or stepper motor. Wiring, grounding, shielding techniques, and the motor phasing process are also covered. Aside from the obvious requirements of AC input and motor wiring, the only other typical requirement is to set the Ndrive HPs communication channel number via switch S2.
Safety Procedures and Warnings
The following statements apply wherever the Warning or Danger symbol appears within this manual. Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious injury to those performing the procedures and/or damage to the equipment.
2.2. Wiring, Grounding, and Shielding Techniques
To reduce electrical noise in the Ndrive, the user should observe the motor and input power wiring techniques explained in the following sections (suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000A, 240V).
2.2.1. Minimizing EMI Interference
The Ndrive HPs are high efficiency PWM amplifiers operating at a 20 kHz switching rate. This switching rate can generate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) into the MHz band. To minimize this EMI, it is recommended that the motor leads be twisted together with the motor cable grounding wire and surrounded with a foil or braided shield. In addition to the EMI effects, electro-static (capacitive) coupling to the motor frame is very high, requiring the frame to be grounded in order to eliminate a shock hazard. Additional electro-static coupling exists between the three twisted motor leads and the foil shield of the motor cable. This coupling forces high frequency currents to flow through the returning earth ground of the motor cable. To minimize this problem and maintain low levels of EMI radiation, perform the following.
Use shielded cable to carry the motor current and connect the shield to earth ground.2. Use a cable with sufficient insulation. This will reduce the capacitive coupling between the leads that, in turn, reduces the current generated in the shield wire.3. Provide strong earth ground connections to the amplifier, additional heat sink, and the motor. Offering electrical noise a low impedance path to earth ground not only reduces radiated emissions, but also improves system performance.4. If possible, do not route motor cables near cables carrying logic signals and use shielded cable to carry logic signals.5. Ferrite beads or Aerotechís FBF-1 or FBF-2 filter adapters, may be used on the motor leads to reduce the effects of amplifier EMI/RFI, produced by PWM (pulse width modulation) amplifiers. Refer to the FBF-1 and FBF-2 drawings on your software or documentation CD ROM for more information on the ferrite beads.
2.2.2. Minimizing 50/60 HZ Line Interference
Operating the Ndrive HP from an off-line source of 115 VAC or 230 VAC may create some additional issues. There is a potential problem of EMI generated from the switching power stage of the Ndrive propagating through the bridge rectifier and out through the AC1 and AC2 input AC line connections. Back-propagation of noise into the AC lines can be minimized using a line filter (refer to Figure 2-1)
Figure 2-1. Back-Propagation Line Filter Connection
Second, a potential problem that exists with off line connections is 50/60 Hz electrostatic coupling between the frame of the AC motor and the AC1/AC2 AC input power. Since AC1 is referenced to earth ground at the source, the DC bus of the amplifier ìswingsî at 50/60 Hz with respect to the motor frame. The path of current caused by this coupling between the motor frame and the amplifier stage passes through the current feedback sensing devices of the amplifier. Depending on the magnitude of this current, a 50/60 Hz disturbance may be visible in the position error. To eliminate this problem, an isolation transformer can be used to block the 50/60 Hz from being seen by the motor frame (refer to Figure 2-2).
2.3. Power Connections
The Ndrive HP may powered by one or two separate AC voltages. One for motor bus power and optionally a second for control power, as described in the following two subsections. If the optional control power input is present, it must be powered.
2.3.1. Control Power Connections (TB101)
The -AUXPWR option allows the Ndrive HP to remain operational when the motor power is removed, such as when an external emergency stop circuit is required. If the Ndrive HP was purchased with the -AUXPWR option, a separate AC input (TB101) has been included on the amplifier. The internal power supply of the Ndrive HP requires a minimum of 85 VAC input to operate properly. The figure below shows the connection to the separate AC power board. The connection is made to the AC input board with a three terminal connector (Aerotech Part #ECK00213), provided. See Section 2.4. for various typical AC wiring options. TB101 is also typically utilized when an emergency stop circuit is present. See Section 2.10 for a typical ESTOP sense input wiring configuration.
The AUXPWR input is an option that, if present, must be powered. It is typically used when the AC bus input power is less than 85 VAC at TB102 AC1, AC2 (or AC3). TB101 is also typically utilized when an emergency stop circuit is present. Optional Supply Connections to AL1, AL2 and the Protective Ground should be at least 1.02362 mm (#18 AWG) wire rated @ 300 V (3 Amp external fusing may be required for AL2, AL1 is fused internally at 3 Amps).
2.3.2. Motor Power Connections (TB102)
The three-phase motor terminal connections are made at connections A, B, and C. Motor Connections ØA, ØB, ØC and its Protective Ground should be made with 1.62814 mm (#14 AWG) wire rated at 300 V. Motor frame and shield connect to (ground). Input power to the Ndrive is made at the AC1 and AC2 terminals with earth ground connected to (ground). A three-phase power input is also available (AC3, requires 3 Phase Option). Connections at AC1, AC2 and AC3 and its Protective Ground should be made with 1.62814 mm (#14 AWG) wire rated at 300V
2.3.3. 40/80 VDC Power Transformers The TV0.3-56 power transformer is an optional accessory for the Ndrive HP. The transformer allows the generation of 56 VAC from a 115 VAC and 230 VAC source respectively. When rectified by the Ndrive HP, 56 VAC yields an 80 VDC power bus. The TV0.3-28 power transformer is an optional accessory available for the Ndrive HP. This transformer allows for the generation of 28 VAC from a 115 VAC or 230 VAC source, respectively. When rectified by the Ndrive, 28 VAC yields a 40 VDC power bus. The following three figures illustrate the six combinations available for both AC input voltages and all three DC bus voltages, as well as the use of the -AUXPWR option. A TM3 and TM5 transformer package is also available to power up to four Ndrives, providing 300 or 500 watts of power.
