General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional operating parameters of the equipment or from
mismatching the field controller with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment
to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the
specification of the product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electrical or mechanical including photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system,
without permission in writing from the publisher.
Field Controller software version
This product is supplied with the latest software version. If this drive is to be connected to an existing system
or machine, all drive software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as drives of the
same model already present. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product. The software
versions of the drive can be checked by looking at Pr 97 and Pr 99.
When used in conjunction with a Mentor MP the Mentor MP software must be V01.05.01 or later.
Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management
System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS,
our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save
energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap
throughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far
outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded
but should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the
products easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap
together and can be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional
fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates,
while smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre
content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags
for wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers
easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for
improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and
best practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,
please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be

4.2 Protective earth connections

The field controller must be connected to the system protective earth of the AC supply.
The protective earth wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of practice. See
section 4.3.1 MOV protective earth disconnect on page 16 for possible exceptions.
Ground loop impedance

Diagnostics
The ground loop impedance must conform to the requirements of local safety
regulations.
WARNING
The field controller must be conected by a protective earth connection capable of
carrying the prospective fault current until the protective device (fuse, etc,) disconnects
the AC supply. The protective earth connections must be inspected and tested at
appropriate intervals.

4.3 AC supply requirements
For detailed information regarding AC supply requirements, please refer to section
8.4 AC supply requirements on page 49.
4.3.1 MOV protective earth disconnect
In some special circumstances, for example during a high potential test or in certain
situations with IT supplies and multiple generators there may be a requirement to
disconnect the MOV protective earth connection. If the MOV protective earth connection
is disconnected the immunity of the field controller to high voltage pulses is reduced. It is
then only suitable for use with supplies having overvoltage category II, i.e. not for
connection at the origin of the low voltage supply within a building. If the MOV to
protective earth connection is not required then do not make a protective earth
connection to the FXMP25.
4.4 Line reactors

The FXMP25, in common with all naturally commutated SCR drives, causes voltage
notches at the input supply terminals. To avoid disturbances with other equipment using
the same supply, the addition of external line inductance is strongly recommended in
order to restrict the depth of notches imposed. This is generally not necessary where a
dedicated transformer is used to supply the FXMP25.
The following recommendations for added line inductance, have been calculated based
on the power drive systems standard: EN 61800-3:2004 "Adjustable speed electrical
power drive systems - Part 3: EMC requirements and specific test methods".
Table 4-1 Minimum values of Ladd and inductor current rating for a typical application
Field output System voltage Typical current
current rating
400V 480V
A μH μH A
25 230 290 26
NOTE On typical field windings or high inductance loads the output current is smooth DC and
therefore the rms input current is approximately equal to the DC output current.
The above assumes the supply has 1.5% impedance and a minimum supply rating of
5kA.
Control of current below 250mA (thyristor holding currents) should be avoided. If

control at this level is required then line reactors must be installed to reduce the effect
CAUTION of dv/dt as thyristors turn off.

4.5 Cable and fuse size ratings
Safety information
The selection of the correct fuse is essential to ensure the safety of the installation.
WARNING
Maximum continuous input currents are given in section 2.1 Ratings on page 9 to aid
information
the selection of fuses and cabling.
Product
The cable sizing selected when installing the FXMP25 must comply with local wiring
regulations. The information provided in this section is for guidance purposes only.
The power terminals on the FXMP25 are designed to accommodate a maximum cable
size of 5.26mm2 (10 AWG).
Mechanical
installation
The actual size depends on a number of factors including:
• Actual maximum continuous current
• Ambient temperature
• Cable support, method and grouping
installation
Electrical
• Cable voltage drop
Where continuous field current is reduced, the cable sizing selected can be appropriate
for the reduced current. The field controller parameters should be programmed with the
correct values.
Getting started
NOTE When using reduced cable sizes, the branch circuit protection fuse rating needs to be
reduced in line with the cable size selected.
Table 4-2 gives examples of the cable sizes based on IEC 60364-5-52 and UL508C/
NEC. The example cable sizes below assume three current-carrying conductors per
cable or raceway and 40°C ambient temperature.

The internal semiconductor fuses provide protection to the FXMP25 SCR / thyristor
bridge only. The fuses can rupture if there is a fault in the field circuit. The user should
check the internal semiconductor fuses if the FXMP25 is tripping field loss (FdL) while
enabled.
Electric shock risk

If the FXMP25 controller has been energized, the supply must be isolated for at least
five minutes. This allows the internal capacitors to discharge fully before work may

4.6 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
The FXMP25 meets immunity requirements (specified in section 8.17 Electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) on page 53) with no special precautions.
NOTE Some special measures may be required in certain applications where the control
cables are long or pass outside the building. See section 4.6.1 Surge immunity of
control circuits - long cables and connections outside a building on page 21.
Radio frequency noise emission can occur from any of the power connections i.e. AC
supply and field output terminals.
For many applications in heavy industrial environments the noise emission is not
sufficient to cause interference to other equipment.
When radio frequency emission must be limited an input EMC filter can be installed.
Shielded cables must be used for the field and the shield must be clamped to grounded
metallic parts at both ends. The standard is met for cable lengths up to 100m.

EN 61800-3:2004 first environment restricted distribution (The following caution
is required by EN 61800-3:2004).
This is a product of the restricted distribution class according to IEC 61800-3. In a

residential environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the
CAUTION user may be required to take adequate measures.
EN 61800-3:2004 defines the following:

• The first environment is one that includes residential premises. It also includes
establishments directly connected without intermediate transformers to a low-
voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for residential
purposes.
• The second environment is one that includes all establishments other than those
directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies buildings
used for residential purposes.
• Restricted distribution is defined as a mode of sales distribution in which the
manufacturer restricts the supply of equipment to suppliers, customers or users who
separately or jointly have technical competence in the EMC requirements of the
application of drives.

4.6.1 Surge immunity of control circuits - long cables and connections outside
Safety information
a building
The input/output ports for the control circuits are designed for general use within
machines and small systems without any special precautions.
In applications where they may be exposed to high-energy voltage surges, some
special measures may be required to prevent malfunction or damage. Surges may be
caused by lightning or severe power faults in association with grounding arrangements
information
Product
which permit high transient voltages between nominally grounded points. This is a
particular risk where the circuits extend outside the protection of a building.
As a general rule, if the circuits are to pass outside the building where the drive is
located, or if cable runs within a building exceed 30m, some additional precautions are
advisable. One of the following techniques should be used:
Mechanical
installation
1. Galvanic isolation, i.e. do not connect the control 0V terminal to ground. Avoid loops
in the control wiring, i.e. ensure every control wire is accompanied by its return (0V)
wire.
2. Shielded cable with additional power ground bonding. The cable shield may be
connected to ground at both ends, but in addition the ground conductors at both

Pressing the up and down keys simultaneously when editing a parameter will set

If no action is made while in parameter view or edit mode for 4 minutes the status mode
is entered automatically.
Getting started
5.2 Resetting the field controller
The controller can be reset using the keypad by pressing the M mode key for at least
two seconds in status or parameter view mode.
Parameters
A reset is required in response to the following conditions:
• To reset the controller from a tripped state
• To implement a change in the value of certain parameters
5.3 Security
In the field controller’s default state no security is implemented, and any R/W parameter
Setting-up
can be adjusted. If Pr 98 (user security code) is set to any value other than 0, then the
value programmed will be taken as a security code. With a security code programmed,
on power up, no R/W parameter can be altered. It will not be possible to change any
parameter without first entering the security code. If Pr 98 is selected for viewing when a Technical data
security code has been programmed the value indicated will be 0 (to prevent the code
programmed from being read).
When a security code has been programmed, any attempt to enter edit mode will cause
the field controller to flash 'CodE' on the 4 digit display to prompt the user for a security
code (providing the parameter is R/W and not R/O). When the Up or Down keys
are pressed, the 4 digit display will then show the code being adjusted and the 2 digit
Diagnostics
display will indicate 'Co'. On setting the code, the user presses the M MODE key. If the
correct code has been entered then the field controller will switch to parameter edit
mode on the parameter the user had selected to edit, but if the correct code has not
been entered the field controller will return to parameter view mode.

5.4 Setting the controller back to default values
If Pr 00 is set to a non-zero value and edit mode is exited, the field controller is reset
when the field controller is inactive (Pr 77= OFF), the selected default parameters will
automatically be loaded. After the parameters have been set to default values, they are
automatically saved to the field controller’s EEPROM on power down. New values will
take effect on subsequent power up.

When the motor is operating in the spill over region the relationship between the field
current and the level of flux can be non linear. The field controller can include the effects
of this non linearity by representing the field current to flux characteristic as a series of

Pr 29

Compensated rated field current (%)
If Pr 29 and Pr 30 have their default values of 50 and 75, the characteristic becomes
one line and there will be a linear relationship between the field controller estimate of
flux and the field current. If Pr 29 and Pr 30 are increased above 50 and 75 the field
controller estimate of flux can included the effect of the non linearity. It is unlikely that
information will be available to set-up these parameters, and so the values are
determined during the rotating autotune test (in Mentor MP mode only). To set these
values in stand alone mode use the following procedure:
• Ensure that Pr 29, Pr 30, Pr 68 and Pr 74 are set to their default values of 50%,
75%, 100% and 100% respectively.
• Set the speed demand to 1/4 of Base speed and run the machine up to speed and
check the speed of the machine using a hand held device.
• If the machine speed is lower than 1/4 of base speed (which is normally the case)
adjust the Field compensation factor (Pr 74) down until the correct machine speed
is reached. If the machine speed is higher than 1/4 of base speed (only possible if
the motor nameplate field current is low), adjust the rated field current (Pr 70) up
until the correct machine speed is reached.
• Set Pr 68 Maximum flux to 75% and measure the actual speed of the machine
(speed 75)
• Set Pr 68 Maximum flux to 50% and measure the actual speed of the machine
(speed 50).
• Stop the machine and set Pr 68 Maximum flux back to 100%.
• Set Pr 29 Motor saturation breakpoint 1 = 50 x set speed / actual speed (Speed 50)
• Set Pr 30 Motor saturation breakpoint 2 = 75 x set speed / actual speed (speed 75).

The new mode will then take effect.
NOTE When Mentor II modes [2.H (2) 2.F (3)] are required, Pr 11 must be set before Pr 78.
If Pr 11 is changed after Pr 78=2.H (2) or 2.F (3), a power cycle is required before the
new values will take effect.
Recommendations
Half control
Normally use half control, since this generally produces a lower amplitude of current
ripple. This results in lower torque ripple in motor.
Full control
Full control causes the SCR bridge to force the field current more rapidly towards zero
at each half cycle. This increases the amplitude of the current ripple, but gives faster
control of the field current level. Use full control under the following conditions:
• When very rapid field weakening is required
L
• If the natural decay of the field defined by ⎛ ----⎞ is slower than the acceleration
⎝ R⎠
required, then full field control is required.
NOTE Pr 78 can be changed while running between St.H (4) and St.F (5).
NOTE When controlling FXMP with Mentor MP, Mentor MP firmware must be V01.05.01 or
later (Pr 11.29 = 01.05, Pr 11.34 = 1).

Safety information
The FXMP25 is rated for a nominal supply up to 480Vrms.
8.4.1 Supply types
The FXMP25 is suitable for use with any supply type, i.e. TN-S, TN-C-S, TT, IT, with
grounding at any potential, i.e. neutral, centre or corner (grounded-delta).

notches at the input supply terminals. To avoid disturbances with other equipment using
the same supply, the addition of external line inductance is strongly recommended in
order to restrict the depth of notches imposed. This is generally not necessary where a
dedicated transformer is used to supply the FXMP25.
Getting started
The following recommendations for added line inductance, have been calculated based
on the power drive systems standard: EN 61800-3:2004 "Adjustable speed electrical
power drive systems - Part 3: EMC requirements and specific test methods".

Setting-up
NOTE On typical field windings or high inductance loads the output current is smooth DC and
therefore the rms input current is approximately equal to the DC output current.
The above assumes the supply has 1.5% impedance and a minimum supply rating of
5kA. Technical data
Control of currents below 250mA (thyristor holding currents) should be avoided. If

control at this level is required then line reactors must be installed to reduce the effect
CAUTION of dv/dt as thyristors turn off.
Diagnostics
8.6 Temperature and humidity

Ambient temperature operating range:
0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F)
Field output current derating must be applied at temperature >40°C (104°F).

Minimum temperature at power-up:
The FXMP25 will power up at -15°C (5°F).

Maximum humidity:
The FXMP25 can operate in environments up to a maximum relative humidity: 90%
non-condensing at 50°C.
8.7 Storage
Storage temperature range: -40 to 70°C.
Storage time is 2 years.
Electrolytic capacitors in any electronic product have a storage period after which they
require reforming or replacing.
The DC bus capacitors have a storage period of 10 years.
The low voltage capacitors on the control supplies typically have a storage period of 2
years and are thus the limiting factor.
Low voltage capacitors cannot be reformed due to their location in the circuit and thus
may require replacing if the FXMP25 is stored for a period of 2 years or greater without
power being applied.
It is therefore recommended that the FXMP25 is powered up for a minimum of 1 hour
after every 2 years of storage.
This process allows the FXMP25 to be stored for a further 2 years.
8.8 Altitude
Altitude range: 0 to 3,000m (9,900 ft), subject to the following conditions:
1,000m to 3,000m (3,300 ft to 9,900 ft) above sea level: de-rate the maximum
output current from the specified figure by 1% per 100m (330 ft) above 1,000m
(3,300 ft)
For example at 3,000m (9,900ft) the output current of the drive would have to be de-
rated by 20%.
8.9 IP rating
The FXMP25 is rated to IP20 pollution degree 2 (dry, non-conductive contamination
only).
The IP rating of a product is a measure of protection against ingress and contact to
foreign bodies and water. It is stated as IP XX, where the two digits (XX) indicate the
degree of protection provided as shown in Table 8-4.
