1 General Information
You will find this symbol next to all work safety notes in this operating manual if there is a
risk of injury or death for persons involved. Pay attention to these notes and observe par-
ticular caution in such cases. Also pass on all work safety instructions to other users.
Voltage Warning
This symbol is shown wherever particular caution is necessary owing to occurring or ap-
plied voltages (e.g. DC voltages up to 650 V) and where special precautionary measures
have to be taken. The drive converter must always be isolated from the line when working
on it.
Caution Note
ATTENTION!
This note is shown in all parts of this operating manual to which particular attention must be
paid to ensure that the guidelines, specifications, notes and the correct sequence of work
will be obeyed and to prevent damage or destruction of the drive converter and/or systems.
1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their degree of protection, may have live,
unisolated, and possibly also moving or rotating parts, as well as hot surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers, of improper use, wrong installation
or maloperation, there is the danger of serious personal injury and damage to property.
For further information, see documentation.
All operations serving transport, installation and commissioning as well as maintenance are
to be carried out by skilled technical personnel (Observe IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384
or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC 664 or DIN/VDE 0110 and national accident prevention rules!).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, “skilled technical personnel” means per-
sons who are familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning and operation of the
product and have the qualifications needed for the performance of their functions.
We draw attention to the fact that no liability can be assumed for damage and malfunctions
resulting from failure to observe the operating manual.
We draw attention to the fact that no liability can be assumed for damage and malfunctions
resulting from failure to observe the operating manual.
2. Intended Use
The application of the drive converter described in this operating manual exclusively serves
the purpose of continuously variable speed control of three-phase motors.
Drive converters are components designed for inclusion in electrical installations or machin-
ery.
The drive converters are designed for installation in a switchgear cabinet and for permanent
connection.
The operator of the system is solely liable for damage resulting from improper use of the
drive converter.
Only items expressly approved by BERGES (e.g. line filter, choke, external braking chop-
pers and braking resistors etc.) may be used as accessories.
The installer of the system is liable for any damage resulting from the use of accessories
that have not been approved expressly by BERGES. Please consult us in case of doubt.
In case of installation in machinery, commissioning of the drive converters (i.e. the starting
of normal operation) is prohibited until the machinery has been proved to conform to the
provisions of the directive 89/392/EEC (Machinery Safety Directive – MSD). Account is to
be taken of EN 60204.
Commissioning (i.e. the starting of normal operation) is admissible only where conformity
with the EMC directive (89/336/EEC) has been established.
The drive converters meet the requirements of the low-voltage directive 73/23/EEC. They
are subject to the harmonized standards of the series prEN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 in con-
junction with EN 60439-1/DIN VDE 0660, part 500, and EN 60146/DIN VDE 0558.
The technical data as well as information concerning the supply conditions shall be taken
from the name plate and from the documentation and shall be strictly observed.
3. Transport, Storage
The instructions for transport, storage and proper use shall be complied with.
Damage established after delivery must be notified to the transport company immediately.
Where necessary, the supplier must also be notified before the damaged drive converter is
put into operation.
The climatic conditions shall be in conformity with prEN 50178.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in accordance with the specifications
in the pertinent documentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against excessive strains. In particular, no compo-
nents must be bent or isolating distances altered in the course of transportation or handling.
No contact shall be made with electronic components and contacts.
Drive converters contain electrostatic sensitive components which are liable to damage
through improper use. Electric components must not be mechanically damaged or de-
stroyed (potential health risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converters, the applicable national accident prevention rules
(e.g. VBG 4) must be complied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant requirements
(e.g. cross-sectional areas of conductors, fusing, GND connection). For further information,
see documentation.
Instructions for the installation in accordance with EMC requirements, like screening, earth-
ing, location of filters and wiring, are contained in the drive converter documentation. They
must always be complied with, also for drive converters bearing a CE marking. Observance
of the limit values required by EMC law is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the in-
stallation or machine.
6. Operation
The components of the power section and certain elements of the control section are con-
nected to the line voltage when the drive converter is connected to the line voltage. Touch-
ing these components involves mortal danger!
Always isolate the drive converter from the line supply before performing any work on the
electrical or mechanical part of the system.
Disconnect the drive converter from the line voltage before removing the terminal cover or
the housing (e.g. by removing or deactivating on-site fuses or by deactivating a master
switch isolating all poles etc.).
After disconnection of the drive converters from the voltage supply, live appliance parts and
power terminals must not be touched immediately because of possibly energized capaci-
tors. In this respect, the corresponding signs and markings on the drive converter must be
respected. After switching off the line voltage, wait for at least 5 minutes before beginning
work on or in the drive converter. Dangerous voltages are still present as long as the “BUS
CHG” lamp is still lit. Ensure that no DC injection (e.g. by a DC link coupling) is performed.
In the event of malfunctions, the discharge time of 5 minutes may be exceeded substan-
tially.
The drive converter contains protective facilities that deactivate it in the event of malfunc-
tions, whereby the motor is de-energized and comes to a standstill (so-called “coasting” of
the motor is possible depending on the rotating mass of the type of drive involved). Stand-
still of the motor can, however, also be produced by mechanical blockage. Voltage fluctua-
tions, and particularly line power failures, may also lead to deactivation. In certain circum-
stances, the drive may start up automatically once the cause of the fault has been reme-
died. As a result of this, certain systems may be damaged or destroyed and there may be
a risk for operators working on the system. Installations which include drive converters shall
be equipped with additional control and protective devices in accordance with the relevant
applicable safety requirements, e.g. Act respecting technical equipment, accident preven-
tion rules etc. Changes to the drive converters by means of the operating software are ad-
missible.
The motor may be stopped during operation by disabling it or by deactivating the setpoint,
whereby the drive converter and motor may remain live. If inadvertent start-up of the mo-
tor must be excluded to protect operating personnel, electronic interlocking by dis-
abling the motor or by deactivating the setpoint is inadequate. This is why the drive
converter must be isolated from the line voltage.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept closed.
Measuring instruments must be connected and disconnected only in de-energized condi-
tion.
Unauthorized conversions or modifications on or in the drive converter and its components
and accessories will render all warranty claims void.
When installing an option board, observe the installation specification valid for this board.
Please contact BERGES if conversions or modifications are necessary, particularly if elec-
trical components are involved.
7. Maintenance and Servicing
The manufacturer’s documentation shall be followed.
KEEP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE!
Before you read on, please check whether technical changes are
attached in the annex to this operating manual!
1.3 Preface
The standard documentation covers a set of Operating Instructions (Part 1) and the Param-
eter Description (Part 2). A prefix (1- resp. 2-, corresponding to Part 1 or Part 2) has been
added to the page numbers in order to allow cross-references to page information in Part
1 and in Part 2 to be distinguished.
These Operating Instructions (Part 1) cover general information, installation, technical data,
a detailed description of the drive variants and the Annex with parameter overview and error
states.
The Parameter Description (Part 2) contains commissioning instructions, the description of
the keys and displays/indicators, a detailed parameter description, the error states and, in
the Annex, the parameter overview.
Please read through these operating instructions conscientiously before installing the drive
in order to guarantee correct installation and maximum performance capabilities.
The four groups in the converter series are (please refer to Chapter 4 for a detailed descrip-
tion of the drive variants):
• V/Hz controller; inverter with voltage/frequency control for induction motors.
• FO controller; servo inverter with field-oriented control for induction motors.
• EC controller; servo inverter for permanently excited brushless servo machines.
• SLV2; sensorless control for induction motors.
The UD 7000 inverter series enables low-loss speed control of a three-phase motor by in-
dependent control of the output frequency and output voltage. The speed/torque response
of the motor remains unchanged thanks to automatic control of the V/Hz ratio.
The UD 7000 inverters consist of the two function groups of the power section and inverter
control.
Figure 1.1
The input rectifier converts the three-phase line voltage to a pulsating DC voltage. The sub-
sequent DC link capacitor serves as an energy buffer that partly smoothes the pulsating DC
voltage. When the line is connected, the charging unit ensures smooth charging of the ca-
pacitor. Figure 1.1 shows a triac for bridging the load resistor. Dependent on output, the
charging circuit may vary. For instance, relays or also half-controlled bridge-connected rec-
tifiers are also used. The complete inverter bridge, consisting of IGBTs (insulated gate bi-
polar transistors) is integrated in an intelligent power module (IPM). This converts the DC
voltage of the DC link back to a three-phase voltage. By control of the IGBTs with suitable
pulse patterns (PWM signals), it is possible to control both the output frequency and the out-
put voltage continuously.
For regenerative operation of the drive, the chopper transistor switches a ballast resistor
into the DC link in order to convert the accumulating brake energy to heat.
The line voltage input filter and the DC link choke serve the purpose of radio frequency in-
terference suppression.
The switched mode power supply unit connected to the DC link generates all necessary
supply voltages. The power supply unit operates provided the DC link voltage does not drop
below 310 V.
The DC link circuits can be electrically connected when operating several inverters in one
system. In this way, regeneratively operating inverters may supply the energy for motive-
power inverters, thus extracting less energy from the line and simultaneously relieving the
braking resistor. However, BERGES should be consulted in this case.
When it lights up, a voltage pilot lamp (BUS CHG, incandescent bulb) signals that the DC
link voltage is higher than 80 VDC. The voltage pilot lamp is visible through a hole above
the power terminals.
The core of the inverter control is a powerful 16-bit microcontroller with a non-volatile pa-
rameter memory. In conjunction with further circuit components, it controls all necessary in-
verter functions. In particular, the microcontroller generates the pulse width modulated puls-
es for control of the IGBTs.
The inverter has the possibility of limiting the emitted motor torque. The frequency setpoint
is reduced automatically when the limit is reached. The data required for this purpose is ob-
tained from measured values and the rated data of the motor (as specified on the motor
name plate).
With the aid of slip compensation, it is possible to operate the motor at a constant speed
independently of the load.
The inverters feature a trap circuit that makes it possible to connect the inverter to a still
rotating motor and to start it up to the frequency setpoint.
To suppress drive-specific resonance frequencies, it is possible to program four different
stop frequency bands, i.e. the inverter does not realise these frequencies statically.
The functional scope if the inverters can be expanded with option cards for:
• FO controller; converter with field-oriented control for asynchronous motors.
• EC controller; converter for permanently excited synchronous motors.
A detailed description is provided in the application manuals.
With the LC display of the display and operating unit (ABE), all operating variables such as
the frequency, current and voltage and all drive parameters can be displayed as absolute
or percentage values.
The inverters can be controlled both through the control terminals, the serial RS-485 inter-
face and also with the keys. The required possibility is selected by parameter. The same
applies to the form of frequency input.
The control terminal LIM is assigned a double function. It serves as a frequency input or as
a further analog input. Depending on parameter definitions, the inverter control processes
the analog signal as an additional setpoint or as a torque limit (0–100%).
The control features six binary inputs (FWD, REV, R/J, PS1–PS3), which can be pro-
grammed for various functions for the control of the inverter, e.g. start/stop, left/right rotation
or frequency input.
The inverter features software I2t monitoring for thermal protection of the motor. For direct
thermal motor monitoring, the inverter control is capable of evaluating a temperature sensor
(PTC or normally-closed contact).
A relay output (changeover contact) and three transistor outputs with an open collector,
which are switched depending on operating states of the inverter, are available for the out-
put of binary signals. The choice is made by a parameter.
The inverter control possesses a frequency output (open collector), which is adapted to the
frequency input so as to enable master/slave control.
Two analog outputs are available for the connection of indicating instruments. The meas-
ured variables that can be output with them can be programmed by the user.
Within the scope of status monitoring, the control controls important operating variables of
the inverter. Warnings or error messages are issued if deviations from the specified toler-
ance range occur. In the event of a fault, control of the complete IGBT inverter bridge is dis-
abled to protect the inverter.
Important operating variables of the inverter are:
• Line voltage.
• DC link voltage.
• Output current.
• Heat sink temperature.
The inverters are resistant to earth faults and short circuits at their motor connection termi-
nals.
The ABE indicates the current error or warning message. The last five occurring faults are
stored in the fault memory (parameter memory) in chronological order.
If the PROG, SHIFT or ENTER key is pressed, the message is reset on the ABE (display
HINT! and operator-control unit). Acknowledgement of the error message does not cancel the
cause of the error. Errors may be also still be pending after reset.
2 Installation
A. Upon receipt, unpack and carefully inspect for any damage sustained in transit (depres-
sion in the enclosure, damage to parts, missing parts).
B. Check information on the name plate to ensure that the rated power and rated voltage
of the unit are suitable for the desired application. If necessary, check whether the unit’s
EMC filters (installed as standard in unit classes 1.5–11) correspond to the order.
C. If the inverter is to be stored for a long period of time, repack and store in a clean, dry
place, free from direct sunlight or corrosive fumes, and in a location where the ambient
temperature will not be less then –20 °C nor more than +60 °C.
Improper installation of the inverter will greatly effect its life. Be sure to observe the following
points when selecting a mounting location. Violating the conditions listed below may
void the warranty!
A. Install the unit vertically. At the same time, an unobstructed flow of air through the cool-
ing slots on the top and bottom must be guaranteed. Any restriction in the air flow will
reduce the useful life of the inverter and will lead to deactivation as a result of excess
temperature.
B. The UD inverter generates heat and so there must be adequate space around the unit
(see Figure 2.1). The inverters can be placed together in rows in their bookshelf hous-
ings. If the unit is accommodated in a housing together with another unit, the prescribed
minimum clearances must be observed in order to guarantee corresponding ventilation.
Figure 2.1
C. If the inverter has to be installed in a different position, external cooling is required for
full capacity utilization. In certain circumstances, the internal air circulation does not suf-
fice when installing the unit in a control cabinet with a small volume. Therefore, when
installing the unit, you must ensure that a heat buildup is prevented.
D. Do not mount the UD 7000 near heat generating equipment, or in direct sunlight. The
UD inverters are generally designed so that they can be operated at ambient tempera-
tures of 0 °C to +45 °C and at a relative humidity of up to 90%.
The occurrence of condensate must be avoided!
E. Do not install the inverter in a place subjected to high temperature, high humidity, or ex-
cessive vibration (see Chapter 3.8).
F. The units should never be installed in the proximity of corrosive or flammable gases,
conductive dust or large magnetic and electric fields.
G. Pay close attention during installation to ensuring that no objects (such as drilling swarf,
wire or anything else) fall into the unit. Otherwise, a device fault cannot be excluded,
even after longer periods of operation.
NOTES:
*) Choke only if required (e.g. owing to motor cable length >30 m). Please consult BERG-
ES.
**) For cables shorter than 20 cm, an unscreened cable can be used between filter and in-
verter.
(1) In the case of unit classes 1.5-11.0, EMC filters are installed as standard (limit class A). The unit can also be supplied without filter. See
also Table 3.2 (EMC filter).
The following interference-suppression components are available for the UD 7000 Series
of equipment:
NOTE:
Additional filters available on request must be used in order to comply with limit curve B.
A central earthing point should be used for interference suppression (e.g. equipotential
bonding strip or centrally at an interference suppression filter). The earthing lines are routed
to the respective terminals radially from this point. Conductor loops of the earthing lines
are impermissible and can lead to unnecessary interference.
The shield cross section must not be reduced when the shield is connected to continuing
lines. This would give rise to RF resistance at a cross section reduction, and the resulting
RF energy would consequently not be discharged but radiated. Shields – particularly
shields of control lines – must not be contacted through pin contacts of plug connectors. In
these cases, the metallic hand guard of the plug connector should be used for large-area
connection of the shield.
Use a shielded motor cable (earthed over a large area at both sides). The shield should be
routed uninterrupted from the GND terminal of the inverter to the GND terminal of the mo-
tor. If a shielded motor line cannot be used, the unshielded motor line should be laid in a
metal duct. The metal duct must be uninterrupted and adequately earthed. The following
points are prescribed if radio interference suppression is to be realized in accordance with
EN 55011, EN 55014 and EN 50081-1:
• Preceding the unit by a line filter (1) or a line filter and a output choke (line filter (1) and
output choke not included in the scope of delivery).
• Laying the motor cable in a shielded configuration.
• Laying the control cable in a shielded configuration.
• Observe general RFI suppression measures (refer to the Chapter 2.3, “EMC (Electro-
magnetic Compatibility)”).
Lay motor, line power and signal cables as far away from each other as possible and sep-
arately.
If a line filter (1) is used, the smallest possible spatial distance from the frequency inverter
must be selected so that both units can be connected by short connection leads.
If an output choke is used (option), it must be fitted in the direct vicinity of the inverter and
connected to the inverter through screened cables earthed at both ends.
Screened signal cables should not be routed in parallel with power cables. An earthed met-
al cable duct is recommendable for these signal cables. If signal cables have to cross a
power cable, they should cross at an angle of 90°.
Control lines longer than 1 m must be laid with a screen, and one side of the screen must
be connected to COM on the frequency inverter.
Other loads connected to the line can cause voltage spikes which can impair the function
of the inverter and can even damage it. Chokes or line filters (1) can be additionally used on
the line side to protect the inverter against voltage spikes (resulting from the switching of
large loads on the line). These chokes and filters are available as accessories.
If inverters are operated in switchgear devices or in their close proximity (e.g. in one com-
mon control cabinet) in connection with the same power line, we recommend the following
precautionary measures to suppress interference in the switchgear:
• Wire the coils of contactors, switchgear devices and relay combinations with “RC ele-
ments” or with free-wheel diodes.
• Use shielded cables for external control and measuring cables.
• Lay disturbing cables (e.g. power and contactor control circuits) separately and at a dis-
tance from the control cables.
(1) In the case of unit classes 1.5–11.0, EMC filters are installed as standard (limit class A); here, interference suppression refers to the
AC input terminals (L1, L2, L3) and not to the DC input terminals (+/–). The unit can also be supplied without filter. See also Table 3.2
(EMC filter).
The MOL input is particularly critical from the point of view of EMC: if the input is used to
evaluate PTCs or klixons fitted in the motor, this will result in high crosstalk on its connection
leads owing to the high edge steepness (dU/dt) of the motor voltage. This may lead to volt-
age peaks exceeding 100 V at the MOL input. Consequently, this lead must be shielded
separately. The shield should not be connected to the COM terminals but to earth ( ). The
best result can be achieved by earthing the shield at both ends.

The frequency inverters were tested in the form of a practical test set-up in a switchgear
cabinet (in accordance with our interference suppression measures in these operating in-
structions: “EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)”. The limit values of the standards below
were fulfilled under these conditions:
(1) In the case of unit classes 1.5–11.0, EMC filters are installed as standard (limit class A); here, interference suppression refers to the
AC input terminals (L1, L2, L3) and not to the DC input terminals (+/–). The unit can also be supplied without filter. See also Table 3.2
(EMC filter).
As the aforementioned interference immunity tests are based on standardised line condi-
tions, a loss of the inverter function can occur in extreme cases (minimum operational qual-
ity). This malfunction generally can be remedied with an inverter RESET. See “Example 11:
Confirmation of an Error”, Page 2-32.
Detailed information and technical data about adapted line filters (1)
and chokes can be
found in the publication “Choke/filter application”.
Pay conscientious attention to ensuring that the installation wiring is installed at least in con-
formity with the NEC standards. Where local codes exceed these requirements, they must
be followed.
Power wiring are those wires which are connected during installation to the power circuit
terminals, L1, L2, L3, +, –, BR, BR, U, V, and W. Power wiring must be selected as follows:
1. Use only VDE, UL or CUL recognized wire.
2. Wire voltage rating must be a minimum of 600 V for 400 VAC systems.
3. The core cross section and the associated fuse are given in the tables in Chapter 2.5.2,
Page 1-17. The wires must consist of copper and be designed for insulation tempera-
tures of 60 °C or 75 °C.
4. Grounding must be in accordance with VDE, NEC and CEC.
NOTES:
Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals U, V and W or damage
ATTENTION! to the drive will result.
The output voltage of variable-frequency controllers contains high-frequency components
that might cause disturbances in other installations. Therefore, avoid laying control cables
and line input cables in the same cable duct or conduit together with the output cables from
the converter to the motor (see also Chapter 2.3.3, “Interference Suppression Measures”).
All interfaces and control inputs and outputs are double isolated from the line.
Control lines include the lines connected with the inverter controller (32 terminals). The con-
trol lines must be designed as described below:
1. Shielded wire is recommended to prevent electrical noise interference from causing im-
proper operation or nuisance tripping. Only connect the screen on one end to the “GND”
terminal on the converter’s control terminal strip (see also Chapter 2.3.3, “Interference
Suppression Measures”).
2. Use only VDE, UL or CUL recognized wire.
3. The rated voltage of the lines must be designed for 50 VDC or 120 VAC. These are
class-2 lines.
4. The lines of the relay (terminals NO, C, NC) must be designed for at least 400 V if wired
into 230 V line circuits.
(1) In the case of unit classes 1.5–11.0, EMC filters are installed as standard (limit class A). The unit can also be supplied without filter.
Upon delivery of inverters, check whether the unit corresponds to the order in this respect if necessary. In unit classes 15–55 kW, the
EMC Directive can be observed only if external filters are used. See also Table 3.2 (EMC filter).
5. Never run the control wiring in the same conduit or raceway with power wiring.
The frequency inverters are designed for installation in a switchgear cabinet and for
permanent connection.
To guarantee lasting operating safety and reliability, the inverter must be connected expert-
ly in accordance with the valid electrical standards. Attention must be paid to good insula-
tion from earth potential on the power terminals.
An three-phase system with a nominal voltage of 400 V (50/60 Hz) must be connected to
line terminals L1, L2, L3 and GND (pay attention to name plate). The neutral point must be
earthed (TN-C system).
Ensure a voltage balanced to earth or phase to phase when feeding in the line power
through an isolating transformer (star point must be earthed).
The single exception below permits connection of a frequency inverter through a residual-
current-operated circuit-breaker as the sole protective measure:
• Installation of a residual-current-operated circuit-breaker of the newest design for fre-
quency inverters up to 4 kVA (input voltage 1 × 230 V) with MOBILE connection.
This residual current-operated circuit breaker must be suitable for alternating and pul-
sating DC leakage current. Residual-current-operated circuit-breakers of this type bear
the symbol .
Reliable tripping of the residual-current-operated circuit-breaker is not ensured in
the case of frequency inverters up to 4 kVA (input voltage 3 × 400 V) with MOBILE
connection; an additional protective measure must be used for this reason. Also see
the diagram below.
In the case of frequency inverters with PERMANENT connection (input voltage 1 ×
230 V and 3 × 400 V), another protective measure must always be used in addition to
the residual-current-operated protective device. Also see the diagram below.
The protective function of the residual-current-operated circuit-breaker is no longer ensured
due to leakage currents from interference suppression capacitors in the inverter and DC
components in the fault current. All devices connected to this residual-current-operated cir-
cuit-breaker (and persons touching them) are no longer protected in the event of a fault.
The inverter will be destroyed if the line feeder is confused with the motor cable.
The DC link capacitors must be reformed if the inverter you wish to connect has been out
of operation for more than a year. To do this, connect the inverter to voltage for approx. 30
minutes. The inverter should not be loaded by connected motors during forming.
The permissible fluctuation in the line voltage is between ±15% of the nominal volt-
age. If the voltage exceeds or falls short of the nominal voltage by 25%, the inverter
is switched off automatically because the voltage is too high or too low.
Adaptation to rated line voltages outside the permissible range is possible by means of au-
totransformers. Calculation according to the formula below is recommend:
NOTE:
Exercise caution when using the UD 7000 under the conditions of a low-voltage network.
An inverter from the UD 7000 series is fully functional when connected to an alternating cur-
rent of 370 V, for example. However, the maximum output voltage is limited to 370 VAC. If
the motor is rated for a line voltage of 400 VAC, this can lead to higher motor currents and
overheating of the motor.
If the output frequency is supposed to be higher or lower than 50 Hz, the inverter can be
programmed for the appropriate relationship between the voltage and frequency by means
of the parameters 21 and 23. Further information on these functions is available in Chapter
8.2.
Phase voltage imbalance of the input AC source can cause unbalanced currents and ex-
cessive heat in the input rectifier diodes and in the DC bus capacitors of the UD. Phase im-
balance is calculated by the following method:
Assume:
The voltage from L1 to L2 = La
The voltage from L2 to L3 = Lb
The voltage from L1 to L3 = Lc
The average line voltage = Lavg
L a + Lb + Lc
- = 395
L avg = ------------------------------ + 400 + 405- = 400
-----------------------------------------
3 3
Determine the absolute value of the difference between each of the line voltages (La, Lb
and Lc) and Lavg. (Subtract the two values and disregard the sign of the result.) Consider
the results of this calculation to be Laa, Lba, and Lca.
L aa + L ba + L ca 5+0+5
Phase Imbalance = ---------------------------------------- × 100% = ---------------------- × 100% = 1.25%
2 ( L avg ) 2 × 400
EXAMPLE: measured phase voltages of 395, 400, and 405 would result in a calculated
phase imbalance of 1.25%.
If the resulting phase imbalance exceeds 2%, consult your local power company or plant
maintenance personnel and ask them to investigate this problem and recommend methods
of correcting this condition.
Phase imbalance can also cause damage to motors running direct on line. A 2% imbalance
requires a 5% derating factor on the motor, 3% imbalance requires a 10% derating. 4% re-
quires an 18% derating.
Never use power-factor improvement capacitors on the UD 7000 motor terminals, U,
ATTENTION! V, and W, or damage to the inverter’s semiconductors will result.
The user must install either device protection fuses or an overload isolator in the line input
line in conformity with the applicable stipulations of the national electric code (NEC) and all
local regulations. The following must be observed in relation to the correct design of input
fuses or of the overload isolator.
A. Dimensioning
The UD 7000 inverters can be operated for 1 minute with 50% overload, and the cycle time
must be at least 30 minutes. If such load cases occur on the drive, the fuses or circuit-break-
ers must be dimensioned accordingly higher.
B. Fuse Types
To guarantee a maximum protection of the inverter fuses should be used for current Limi-
tation. These fuses should have a breaking capacity of 200,000 Aeff. The following table
shows the recommended values in amps for all UD 7000-inverters.
For 400 V line supplies we recommend time-lag type NEOZED-fuses.

The medium time-delay fuses of type “Bussmann FRS-R”, for example, are recommended
in networks with nominal voltages greater than 415 V. The typical operating times are 150
to 250 s for 2× overcurrent and 180 to 1500 ms in the case of 10× overcurrent.

The UD 7000 units are designed for controlled starting and stopping of three-phase motors
by means of the keypad or external contacts (latching switches or relays). As standard, the
inverter features a line start-up lock to prevent unintentional starting of the motor after a
power failure. This facility can be cancelled out by programming parameter 71 (see Page
2-77).
Voltage spikes caused by coils (inductors operated on the same line as the inverter) can
lead to malfunctions of the inverter. In cases of this kind, the affected windings of contactors
and relays operated on the 230 VAC line must be damped by fuses in the form of an RC
series circuit:
• Main Circuit Contactors and Solenoids: C = 0.2 MFD, 500 VDC; R = 500 W, 5 Watts.
• Auxiliary Control Circuit Relays: C = 0.1 MFD, 500 VDC; R = 200 W, 2 Watts.

Free-wheeling diodes must be used on contactors, relays and solenoid coils operated with
direct current. The diodes in question should be fast types with short recovery time. The
diode must be connected in blocking direction in parallel with the winding (see Figure 2.2).
The rated current and voltage of the diode can be calculated using the formulae below:

The UD 7000 is provided with a standard brake resistor. The type and size of the mounted
brake resistor depends on the Inverter's power rating. For power rating details please see
Table 3.5, Page 1-30.
The mounting area can become hot on the inverter's back side. The brake resistor is mount-
ed in such a way, that a part of its heat can be transferred to the enclosure. The brake re-
sistor is protected by the inverter in the following ways:
1. The inverter computes a thermal model of the resistance. The software is matched to
the incorporated standard resistor fitted on the rear side of the inverter. The default set-
tings of the parameters ensure that the exterior of the unit does not increase in temper-
ature to above 70 °C. A change in these model parameters (parameters 7A, 7E and 7D)
may cause higher temperatures.
2. A heat sensor is fitted on the heat sink. Temperatures exceeding 70 °C at the heat sink
generate an error message (Error No. 02). From case to case, temperatures of 90–100
°C may be anticipated.
If the maximum permitted power loss of the default braking resistor is exceeded, an external
HINT! braking resistor will be required (see also Chapter 3.5, Tables 3.5 and 3.6). Braking resis-
tors are available as optional packages.
When the unit is delivered, the displays are in German. Redefine parameter 78 to change
HINT! the language.
Switch off the line voltage before opening or working on the frequency
converter.
Also ensure that there is no DC infeed (e.g. by a DC link coupling).
Hazardous voltages are still present if lamp “BUS CHG” is still lit.
The power and control terminals are covered by one or two covers (dependent on size).
After undoing the securing screws, the front panel can be detached by lifting it slightly and
swivelling it to the top.

Connection terminals, size II–VI
NOTE:
* If it is necessary to comply with the EMC regulations, an EMC filter must be connected
between the line-circuit fuse and the inverter. On sizes 2 and 3, these filters are already
fitted internally. These filters are available as options for the other sizes (see also Chap-
ter 2.3 and 2.3.2).
The control terminals are also located on the front of the unit.
All control terminals are potential-free (double isolated). Make sure that the potential
ATTENTION! difference between earth and the control terminals does not exceed a value of 230
VAC. This does not include the relay terminals NO, C and NC.
The Aux/GND terminal (cross head recess M4 screw) is isolated from the housing and can
be used as a star point for the COM terminals, for example.

NOTES:
(1) The setpoint inputs Vin and Cin:
The V_in and C_in inputs are additively gated. This means that the signals – generated
from the voltages at the V_in inputs resp. the current at the C_in input – are processed
summed by the microprocessor. The two inputs are difference amplifier inputs. There is
a jumper (X57) directly behind the control terminals on the control card, and this jumper
can used to make a direct connection between the –Vin input and COM potential if nec-
essary. This jumper is inserted at the works.
Jumper X57 inserted: –Vin connected to COM.
Jumper X57 not inserted: –Vin floating (difference amplifier input).
The required signal type, such as unipolar or bipolar setpoints, is selected with param-
eter 31.
(2) Use of the Vin inputs:
When should jumper (X57) be removed?
• In the case of applications such as simple jockey roller positioning controls in which
the rotational speed reference value is applied to the +Vin input and the jockey roller
position-proportional voltage (jockey roller potentiometer) is applied to –Vin. The
voltage at the –Vin input is then subtracted from the voltage level at +Vin. Ideally, the
jockey roller potentiometer must be powered with a positive or negative voltage.
• In the case of interference problems on the setpoint leads. In applications in which
the setpoint signal is supplied via long leads, laid in parallel to the inverter, this fre-
quently results in a high noise component on the wanted signal. This common-mode
interference can be eliminated by the difference amplifier (D1).
Figure 2.4
Jumper X57
The right-hand side panel of the inverter must be removed in order to set jumper X57.
Please follow the steps below:
• Switch off the line voltage. Wait until lamp “BUS CHG” goes out or measure the DC link
voltage. See also Chapter 1.2, Section 6 (Operation). Also ensure that there is no DC
infeed (e.g. by a DC link coupling).
• Turn out the screw (right-hand thread) to loosen the terminal cover. Lift the bottom side
of the cover and pull it downwards.
• Use a small screw driver to push the small plastic part at the bottom edge of the display
cover out of the guideway.
• Push outwards the display cover at its bottom edge and lift it at the same time. Then
push outwards the upper edge and pull the cover frontwards.
• Undo two resp. four cross-recessed-head screws on the right-hand side panel and pull
the side panel out of its guide by tilting it and raising it.
• Adjust jumper X57 (see illustration).
• Insert the right side plate into the bottom guideway and tighten it with both cross-slotted
screws.
• Put up the display cover and snap it into place.
• Insert the small plastic part into the bottom edge of the display cover (rounded-off edge
up).
• Lift the terminal cover slightly and slip it into the groove of the display cover. Put up the
cover and tighten it with plastic screw.

4 Drive Variants
The UD 7000 Series of inverters are general-purpose controllers (static frequency convert-
ers) which can be used for low-loss open-loop or closed-loop control of the following motor
variants:
1. Asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotor.
2. Asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotor and rotational speed feedback (encoder
for feedback of the rotor speed of rotation).
3. Permanent-field synchronous servo-motors with feedback (resolver for feedback of the
rotor position).
The UD Series of inverters features a high-performance, internal motor control system
which controls the connected motor extremely effectively over the entire rotational speed
range. A precise knowledge of the motor data is required so that the internal motor models
used are able to supply as precise an image as possible of the connected motor. Since the
user will generally be unfamiliar with this data apart from the information on the rating plate,
the inverter features Autotest functions (also referred to as Autotuning) which determine
this data automatically. This test must run at least once before placing the drive into oper-
ation. Please refer to the Parameter Description, parameter 2A – Test mode (Page 2-45)
for further information on this.
Only the data of the motor rating plate is entered in the parameters of “Group 1 – Motor da-
ta” for optimum matching of the inverter to the connected motor. Detailed information on
commissioning of the inverter as a function of the selected motor variant can be found in
Chapter 6, “Commissioning” and in the section on parameter 2A – Test mode.
On drives with feedback, certain other information on the feedback systems used must be
entered in “Group B – Speed controller”. If all motor and feedback data has been pro-
grammed correctly, other motor feedback data absolutely necessary for optimum control of
the selected motor variant is determined during the subsequent test run.
The asynchronous motor has proven successful in the field of drive engineering owing to
its rugged and low-cost design. When frequency converter technology became cheaper
and cheaper and more reliable in the late 70s, it took the place of the closed-loop-controlled
DC machine to an ever-increasing extent. Initially, the converter-controlled asynchronous
motor was a low-cost alternative to the closed-loop-controlled DC motor only in the power
range upwards of 3 kW. Today, it is a fully fledged alternative to the closed-loop-controlled
DC motor even as of approx. 100 Watts in view of the fact that power electronic components
are becoming cheaper and cheaper.
Constant-flux operation has become the most successful mode of controlling the asynchro-
nous motor. This is because, not least, this variant ensures low-loss and optimum torque
operation over the entire rotational speed range. This can be achieved by maintaining the
magnetisation of the motor constant over the entire rotational speed range. In order to en-
sure this, the ratio of the applied motor voltage to the current motor frequency (VMot/fMot)
must be maintained constantly. Theoretically, this should result in a linear relationship be-
tween voltage and frequency. However, as of the point at which the nominal frequency is
reached, the motor is operated with rated voltage owing to the limited motor voltage. The
constant power range starts as of this point. However, at low frequencies, the influence of
the ohmic winding resistance (resistance of the stator winding) comes more and more to
the fore so that it is necessary to compensate for this voltage drop which weakens the mag-
netisation. It is therefore necessary to boost the voltage slightly with respect to its ideal
characteristic (I×R compensation).
Essentially, three methods are used for this magnetisation current control:
1. Characteristic control (VMot/fMot) with I×R compensation.
2. I0 control (reactive power or reactive current control).
3. Field-orientated control with and without feedback (vector control).
These variants which are all integrated in the UD 7000 are discussed below.
The UD 7000 Series of inverters features a high-performance reactive current control sys-
tem besides the pure V/f control. Selection is made with parameter 62 – V/Hz characteris-
tic selection.
In the case of pure V/f control (setting 2), the various interpolation points are permanently
preset by the user in order to define the voltage at the related frequency. 5 V/f pairs are
available (see the illustration below).
Figure 4.1
Controlled V/f characteristic
In general, presetting points V0, V1 and “Knee” will suffice for a standard asynchronous mo-
tor. In the case of special machines, such as reluctance motors for instance, it is frequently
necessary to specify further intermediate values. The motor manufacturer must then be
consulted for more precise data. Note that this preset characteristic is complied with firmly
under all load conditions.
One other version of motor control is, as mentioned above, I0 control in combination with
slip compensation (parameter 76 – Slip compensation). This type of V/f characteristic con-
trol can also be selected with parameter 62 – V/Hz characteristic selection (settings 0, 3,
4, 5).
The inverter control system detects the instantaneous value of two motor currents. The third
phase current can be computed from this. This allows the phase angle of the currents with
respect to the applied voltage to be determined and the currents are then split into active
component and reactive component via which it is then possible to conclude the current
torque and machine flux. The simplified phasor diagram below clearly shows this situation.
Figure 4.2
Simplified phasor diagram
It is must be noted that this method makes many simplifications for the complex machine
model. Influences relating to the rotor are ignored completely for instance.
However, the method has major advantages over purely presetting the V/f ratio. Thus, for
instance, the theoretical load dependence of the V/f ratio is corrected automatically which
leads to a major improvement in the drive characteristics and a reduction in thermal motor
loading in the part-load range. This is illustrated in the diagram below.
Figure 4.3
Controlled V/f characteristic
The diagram shows that the V/f characteristic is shifted in parallel upwards (starting from
the no-load line) as the load increases. The increase in motor voltage in the lower area is
performed automatically whereby the magnitude of the voltage to be added under no load
depends on the motor data, i.e. correct specification of the motor data and conducting a test
run are of major significance in this operating mode as well (see also Chapter 4.2, “The
Asynchronous Motor and Speed Control”).
Besides automatic readjustment of the V/f ratio (in order to maintain the machine's flux con-
stant), the inverter also features slip compensation. It can be connected as required, as
mentioned above, and enhances rotational speed stability when subject to load variation.
The mode of operation of slip compensation is illustrated in the diagram below:

it was reached (f_Knee)
M Torque M1<M2
s Slip s1<s2 ({synchronous speed of rotation - rotor speed of rota-
tion} / synchronous speed of rotation)
It is possible to draw conclusions as regards the load-dependent slip of the motor from the
torque-generating current component I1_M. If we know the slip frequency (~fs1;fs2), this is
added to the stator frequency (n1, n2). This greatly enhances rotational speed stability. The
motor is provided with a so-called shunt behaviour. In generator operation, the slip frequen-
cy is, of course, subtracted from the stator frequency. Starting from the torque-rotational
speed characteristic of the asynchronous motor in line operation, this corresponds to a par-
allel shift in this characteristic.
The essential disadvantage of these open-loop-controlled methods is the fact that these
methods are all based on static models of the motor. In dynamic operating cases, the op-
erating data determined differs greatly from the conditions actually obtaining in the motor.
In order to optimise this, it is necessary to use dynamic motor models. In addition, the pre-
cise flux obtaining in the motor is computed in these models, i.e. the above-mentioned in-
fluences of the rotor on the stator variables are included in computation.
Despite all control components, characteristic control does not suffice to achieve a similarly
good control and load behaviour on the asynchronous motor as with a DC motor. The prin-
ciple of field-orientated control is used for this purpose. In this case, the field and torque-
generating current components are computed precisely and controlled highly dynamically.
If this is possible, this provides a control structure which corresponds to that of a DC ma-
chine control. There as well, one has one controller for the excitation current and one con-
troller for the armature current (torque controller). One talks of magnetisation current and
torque-generating component on the asynchronous machine. A voltage-controlled asyn-
chronous machine becomes a current-controlled asynchronous machine.
The fundamental mode of operation of the asynchronous motor which is able to develop a
torque only if there is a rotational speed difference between stator field and rotor (slip), in-
dicates a problem which cannot be easily solved. As the result of this slip, a current is in-
duced in the motor winding and this current, together with the flux in the air gap (rotating
field), results in a torque. The flux of the stator must now be linked in the air gap with the
flux of the rotor in order to obtain the working flux.
The fundamental problem is to detect or compute the flux in the machine from easily meas-
urable variables. Only then is it possible to control the torque decoupled from the flux.
The basic physics principle applies here as well:
M ∼ I × φ × sin (Angle between) I × φ
Since the resultant flux in the machine is now determined not only by the stator-end average
ampere conductors per unit of length but since the current also flows in the rotor owing to
the motor's transformer-like design and this current also has a frequency which is not equal
to the stator frequency and since this also generates a flux, the ratios become very com-
plex. In addition, these rotor influences are also load-dependent. It can be now be easily
imagined that the ratios at the rotor end can be computed exactly only if we know the pre-
cise rotor speed of rotation (rotational speed feedback). The conditions in the motor can
now be grasped with the aid of complex mathematical motor models. The data obtained
from this can now be transformed to the stator end so that one can construct a precise cur-
rent-phasor diagram.
To summarise, the following measuring sensors are also required:
• Current transformer in the motor phases.
• Rotational speed feedback on the rotor.
The simplified phasor diagram in Figure 4.2 has now become a phasor diagram which al-
lows for influences of the rotor end (I´2):
Figure 4.5
Extended phasor diagram
Here as well, it is of major significance that one obtains satisfactory drive characteristics on-
ly if the information provided in Chapter 4.1, “The Motor Drive Data and How it is Measured”
is followed precisely.
What advantages are obtained from the field-orientated-controlled asynchronous machine?
• Maximum drive dynamics.
• Full torque at rotational speed 0. Closed-loop-controlled standstill.
• The torque can be controlled and limited precisely.
• Ramps can be deactivated. This means that the drive is ideally suited for applications in
conjunction with superimposed positioning controls.
• Phase-synchronous Master-Slave operation (electronic transmission) is possible with-
out external open-loop control systems. See also parameter 2C – Application.
• Current-controlled operation means that the dead times and switching times of the out-
put stages have no influence on the sinusoidal waveform of the motor current.
• More precise current limitation since the current in the motor is preset as a setpoint.
APPROACH:
If the voltage (V_Lh) is maintained constant on the basis of the magnetising inductance, the
magnetising current (IM) is also constant. Rotor current (Ir) and magnetising current (IM) are
naturally perpendicular.
This provides all preconditions for optimum control of the motor. In the above equivalent cir-
cuit diagram, it can be seen that it is of tremendous importance to calculate with the correct
motor data. Otherwise, the calculation of the field voltage V_Lh leads to incorrect values.
The model data such as currents, voltages and rotor rotational speeds, are obtained from
the SLV2 motor model.
The following block diagram illustrates how this data is obtained from the motor model.
Figure 4.7
SLV2 implementation in the inverter
Two vector rotators (1) play a central role, whereby the upper rotator transforms the motor
voltage setpoints from the field coordinate system to the stator coordinate system and the
lower rotator performs this transformation in reverse. It can be seen that the voltage V_Lh
is calculated for each phase at the stator coordinate end. This provides the motor-internal
actual variable of voltage as a function of magnetising inductance LH. These rotating volt-
age vectors are transformed back at the field end where they become a DC voltage and are
used to compute the angular velocity ω.
This is because:
V_L h
ω = -----------------------
-
( IM × L H )
and, by integration of the angular velocity ω, we obtain the angle of rotation a for controlling
the vector rotators. We can see the basic principle of SLV2 for controlling the motor field:
The field current is preset as a setpoint! The field voltage is computed from this and is pre-
set for the motor as a voltage setpoint.
This voltage is calculated back as an actual value from the variables measurable at the mo-
tor terminal and, on the basis of this, the angular velocity ω is computed, and this then con-
trols the vector rotators after integration. The comparison between field voltage setpoint
and actual field voltage value is therefore performed indirectly in the vector rotators. α is
varied until VLHact. = VLHsetpoint. A field current controller is not necessary.
Slip computation:
In Figure 4.6 “Transformer model of the asynchronous motor (leakage inductances ig-
nored)”, we can directly see that the rotor current IR is proportional to the machine's slip s.
If Is and IM are known and V_LH is indirectly measurable as described above, it is possible
to compute s.
We thus know all variables for implementing an optimum, field-orientated control with indi-
rect rotational speed measurement.
SLV2 in Practice
This mode of operation is particularly suitable for applications such as the following owing
to its high dynamic response:
(1) Vector rotator: a vector rotator is a mathematical method of, for instance, converting the rotating phasor of a periodic quantity to sta-
tionary vectors. It is easy to imagine a vector rotator by way of the following example: if we could represent the magnetic field of the
motor optically by phasors or pointers and if we view what is happening from the outside, we can see quickly rotating phasors or pointers
which cannot be easily described. If we now make it possible to position ourselves on a plate turning at the same speed as the field at
its centre, we can see a stationary pointer or phasor which can only change its length. The vector rotator corresponds precisely to this
rotating platform.
SLV2 is not yet the optimum solution even at zero rotational speed as the inverter does not
issue the voltages which it receives as the preset setpoint owing to switching times and
dead times of the output stages. This contamination effect does, of course, occur to a par-
ticularly great extent at low voltages (lower frequency range). However, the cost-benefit ra-
tio would be disproportionate as regards the improved drive behaviour were one to attempt
to compensate for these errors by the use of expensive hardware. Higher-performance fu-
ture microprocessors will be able to solve this disadvantage at less cost. Tests have estab-
lished the following key performance aspects:
• Rotational speed accuracy: fabs <1% in the correcting range 1:7.
• Torque accuracy: fabs <1% in the correcting range 1:5.
• Torque at low rotational speeds: 150% at 0.5 Hz (at the motor with 50 Hz nominal fre-
quency).
The EC (electronically commutated) motor, as with the asynchronous motor at the stator
end, has a three-phase winding. If a rotor with magnet poles is now fitted in the three-phase
stator, this produces a synchronous motor.
Here as well – as is the case with asynchronous motors – the interlinked stator current
should be as perpendicular (orthogonal) as possible on the rotor field in order to maximise
the torque developed. A knowledge of the rotor position as an absolute magnitude is abso-
lutely essential in order to guarantee this phase relationship between stator current and
magnetic field position. In general, a resolver, mounted on the rotor, is used for this. This
motor type as well features the drive-engineering advantages of the field-orientated-con-
trolled asynchronous machine. It also features other advantages relating to motor physics,
such as:
• Lower rotor moment of inertia. This predestines the motor for positioning tasks.
• Lower rotor losses. This results in enhanced efficiency and less rotor heating.
• Very low no-load currents.
The UD 7000 inverter allows operation of an EC motor of any manufacturer, whereby the
counter-EMF of the motor should be sinusoidal. This variant achieves best possible true
running characteristics. Trapezoidal operation is, admittedly, also possible but is not advis-
able owing to the aforesaid aspects.
When the motor is commissioned, the motor shaft must be able to turn freely since the
mounting angle of the resolver is determined in a test run. This involves presetting a sta-
tionary voltage vector which pulls the rotor to its optimum position. If this is not followed, the
motor is unable to develop its optimum torque and will demand a higher stator current at
the same load.

If the PROG, SHIFT or ENTER key is pressed, the message is reset on the ABE (display
HINT! and operator-control unit). Acknowledgement of the error message does not cancel the
cause of the error. Errors may be also still be pending after reset.
In certain circumstances, the inverter may assume an error state. The occurrence of such
a state can be reported through relay or transistor outputs (parameters 92–96, setting x01).
The output is activated if an error occurs. When the cause of the error disappears, the error
signalling output becomes inactive with deactivation of drive enabling; the drive is ready for
operation.
5.4.2 Handling of Error States with the “Acknowledge Error State” Function
When a binary input R/J, PS1–PS3 is programmed with the “Acknowledge error state” func-
tion, an error state always continues to exist until the cause of the error has been remedied,
drive enabling has been cancelled and the binary input “Acknowledge error state” is acti-
vated. Thus, in a system with several inverters, it is possible to cancel all drive enabling sig-
nals in the event of a malfunction occurring and to nevertheless locate the defective inverter
through the relay or transistor output.
In the basic state, the binary input must be deactivated as otherwise the inverter cannot be
started. In the event of an error, drive enabling must first be cancelled and only then the
input activated. The binary input should not be cancelled until the error state is no longer
indicated by the inverter.
