Chapter 1 - Introduction

1-4 DCS 500 12-Pulse Planning and Start-Up

 Chapter 2 - Overview

The 12-pulse parallel connection produces the following advan-

tages:

✸ Reduction in power converter’s effects on the mains supply

network
Reduced harmonics; different frequencies in the mains
✸ Large output DC currents
Doubling of the output currents die to parallel connection of two
6-pulse standard power converters to form a 12-pulse circuit
✸ Improved current ripple
Smaller current ripple, higher frequency content, smaller torque
pulsation

Basically, the 12-pulse connection is a classical master-slave con-

figuration with a speed-controlled 6-pulse master power converter
and a current-controlled 6-pulse slave power converter.
The 12-pulse parallel connection is obtained by feeding the slave
with a mains supply offset by 30 degrees compared to the master
and joining the power converter outputs on one side over an inter-
phase reactor.
The 12-pulse mode has been implemented in the standard soft-
ware, and will not become operative until after parameterization.
After a few signals have been replaced for switch-on and switch-off,
and the specific master/slave parameters have been set, the two
power converters will work in the usual way. The only distinctive
feature compared with the classical 6-pulse variant is that the two
power converters are synchronized for reversing the bridges.

This manual must be consulted for 12-pulse mode in addition to the

following DCS 500 manuals:

Block diagram The signals and parameter settings depicted in the diagram are re-
quired for a speed-controlled 12-pulse drive with DCS 500 in a
Master-Slave configuration. The function block shown is included in
the basic software, and is activated when required using Parameter
1209.

DCS 500 12-Pulse Planning and Start-Up 3-1

Chapter 3 -Functional Description

Functional descrip- In control engineering terms, the two power converters are divided
tion into a master and a slave drive. This is done by setting function-
specific (master/slave) parameters and signals.

For this purpose, the standard software in the DCS 500 additionally
incorporates Parameter Group 36 and Signal Group 136.

Both units work more or less independently, controlling their own

line contactors and the enables.

Switch-on/switch-off For the DCS 500 in its 12-pulse mode, an additional logic is pro-
logic vided, which in the event of an error will disable both units through
the INHIBIT input of the drive logic. For the switch-off function, the
two “ready-for-operation” signals RDY_ON (10901) and RUNNING
(10903)- from the power converters are combined using input
pointer (3607) and the output signal (13616) of the 12-pulse logic.
Through the -START_INHIBIT (908)- pointer, this output is used to
influence the drive logic and prevent impermissible switch-on.

Bridge reversal In the case of a 6-pulse power converter, bridge reversal is initiated
by changing the polarity of the current reference (IREF2). When the
current reference changes its polarity, the actual current is con-
trolled down to zero until the current zero signal is received. This is
followed by a dead time of at least 1 ms (or 2 ms in the case of
power converters larger than 700 A), and then bridge reversal is
initiated. (Depending on the moment involved, “firing” of the new
bridge may take place in the same cycle, but will definitely occur in
the next one at the latest; 3.3 ms at 50 Hz). In addition, reversal
can be delayed by a settable number of cycles using the
REV_DELAY parameter (3601).

In the case of a 12-pulse power converter, (2 x 6-pulse power con-

verters) the logic is the same as in the single mode. In dependence
on the firing angle, the current size, the current alteration, etc., the
dead time is extended by 1 to 2 cycles. The supplement this, the
system waits with bridge reversal until both current reference po-
larities coincide, or until the additional cycles set at Parameter
REV_GAP (3602) have elapsed. This feature can prove useful
when operating large inductances. The system then automatically
changes over to the selected bridge.
If the bridge signals are unequal for the number of cycles settable
in Parameter FREV_DELAY (3603), Error Message 65 will be out-
putted. Parameter (3603) must be greater than the sum of (3601)
and (3602). Parameters (3601) and (3602) must be the same at
each of the two units.

The REV_INDIC (13613) signal indicates that bridge reversal is

running at that moment.

3-2 DCS 500 12-Pulse Planning and Start-Up

 Chapter 3 - Functional Description

Dynamic response The dynamic response of the 12-pulse configuration is delayed in

comparison to the 6-pulse power converter (master) by:

+ 0.5 of a cycle because of the 30-degree-offset mains feed to

the slave

+1 - 2 cycles because of the special feature incorporated for

bridge reversal (see under “Bridge reversal”)

+2 - 3 cycles because of the analog current reference and actual

current transmission

The signals are processed independently of each other for each

power converter.

Current feed- A current reference signal is transmitted from the master to the
back/reference salve in analog form, and the current feedback value (again in
analog form) from the slave to the master.
The standard terminals used at AI2 and AO2 (see the block dia-
gram). The signals concerned are bipolar, but this does not matter,
since the polarity is already being transmitted via Plug Connector
X18.

AI2 and AO2 are processed in the 5 ms task. The polarity signals
are transmitted in the cyclical task of 3.3 ms (at 50 Hz). This will
likewise produce time-delays amounting to two to three times the
cycle time.

Current refer- Master:

ence, Master- This transmits the current reference (see the block diagram in the
Slave section on “Control Structure” further on in this chapter).
This signal is outputted here through AO2 to X4:8 (SDCS-IOB-1)
before current limitation (Parameter 406). The polarity of this signal
is irrelevant for the slave, since it is transmitted digitally through
X18.

Slave:
The current reference is inputted at Terminal X3:8 at the analog in-
put AI2 (IOB-1) and is then connected internally at Pointer 3604 to
the 12-PULSE LOGIC block. Here, too, the polarity is not directly
evaluated.
Terminals X4:8 (Master) and X3:8 (Slave) must be connected to
each other using a cable of >1 mm².
For the 12-pulse function, the current limitation parameters (406),
(2307) and (2308) must all be set to the same size.

DCS 500 12-Pulse Planning and Start-Up 3-3

Chapter 3 -Functional Description

Current feed- Slave:

back, Slave- This transmits the actual current CONV-CUR-ACT (see block dia-
Master gram for the basic software)
The actual current feedback is read out from SETTINGS, Signal
10501, and passed to Terminal X4:8 (IOB-1) over Pointer 205 from
analog output AO2. The signal is bipolar, but this is not processed
further. Here, too, the master is informed of the polarity using the
signal at X18:9.

Master:
The actual current feedback from the slave is inputted at Terminal
X3:8 of the analog input AI2 (IOB-1). From here, it is passed using
Parameter 10107 to Pointer 3604 at the 12-PULSE LOGIC function
block for further processing.
The master is informed of the signal’s polarity through X18:13.
Terminals X4:8 (Slave) and X3:8 (Master) must be connected to
each other using a cable of >1 mm².
To produce the reference potential, Terminal X3:7 must be con-
nected to X4:6 of the two power converters (Master and Slave) us-
ing a cable of >1 mm² (see illustration below).

 Chapter 3 - Functional Description

Error messages For the 12-pulse mode, two additional error messages have been
introduced, F65 and F66. The error messages are listed in Group
111 FAULT_WORD3 11103. Both these errors occur only in the
MASTER.

Error 65: Reversal Fault

This error is triggered if after the bridge reversal signal and after a
number of cycles set using Parameter 3603 has elapsed, both
power converter bridges do not have the same polarity.
Error 65 causes the drive to be switched off.

Error 66: Current differential

This error is triggered if after a number of cycles set with 3606 the
currents in the two power converter units differ by an amount set
with Parameter 3605.
The current differential to be set in per cent using Parameter 3605
is referenced to the motor current involved.

Error 66 causes the drive to be switched off.

 Chapter 4 -Planning

Components The following components are required for constructing a 12-pulse

system:

- a transformer with two identical secondary windings offset by 30

degrees
(same voltage and current)

- two identical 6-pulse power converters (DCS 500 standard), se-

lected for half the motor’s rated current
(same voltage and current)

- a current-balancing reactor (interphase reactor) with centre tap

- a field supply unit for supplying the field of the DC machine

- a connecting cable between the two power converters, Plug

Connector X18: (max. length 10 m).
to be supplied in the requisite length by ABB

The data relevant to 12-pulse mode are exchanged between Plug

Connectors X18: on the computer boards of the two power con-
verters.

DCS 500 12-Pulse Planning and Start-Up 4-1

Chapter 4 - Planning

Planning hints
Transformer When selecting and dimensioning the mains transformer, care must
be taken to ensure that overvoltages are kept away from the power
converters’ power sections when the transformer is connected to
the mains supply. This means the transformer should have an
earthed shielding winding between the primary and secondary
windings.

This is very useful for suppressing capacitive cross-talk at switching

operations on the primary side. In addition, the shielding winding
also suppresses conducted interference (EMC) to the mains. An-
other method of avoiding overvoltages is to switch on the compo-
nents in stages: first connect the transformer to the mains, and only
then connect the power converter to the transformer. Another op-
tion is to provide the secondary sides with an RC element.

The actual design choice will depend on the electrical conditions in-
volved, like line voltage, power converter input voltage, power con-
verter rated voltage, and frequency.

Power converters The power converters are selected only from the normal product
range (standard types) against voltage and current criteria (motor
voltage; motor current x 0.5).

Interphase The 12-pulse interphase reactor limits the cross current between
reactor the two power sections of the 6-pulse power converters, making
possible a current flow duration of 60 degrees per valve. The inter-
phase reactor can be dimensioned by the vendor.

Field supply For the field supply, all field supply units from the DCS 500/DCV
700 series can be used.

5-6 DCS 500 12-Pulse Planning and Start-Up

 Chaper 6 - Start-Up

You start up the 12-pulse configuration after mechanical and elec-

trical installation of the system has been fully completed. You will
find it best to proceed in three steps. First, start up each 6-pulse
unit separately. In the as-delivered condition, the parameters are
set for single mode. The cross-connections between Plug Connec-
tors X18: and Terminals X3: and X4: of the two power converters
are not operative in the single-mode setting. For instructions on
start-up, please consult the Installation and Start-up Manual
(DCS 500). It is best to disconnect the non-active unit from the
mains, or at least to disable it by suppressing the firing pulses. The
interphase reactor can remain connected throughout the entire
start-up procedure.

Master Starting up the master power converter:

- Isolate the slave, or suppress pulses.
- Start up the master power converter as a 6-pulse standard
power converter, in speed or current-controlled mode, depend-
ing on the utilization involved.
For the procedure involved, please consult the relevant standard
equipment documentation Installation and Start-up Manual, Chapter
7

Slave Starting up the slave power converter:

- Isolate the Master or suppress pulses.
- Start up the slave power converter in current-controlled mode
as a 6-pulse standard power converter.
For the procedure involved, please consult the relevant standard
equipment documentation Installation and Start-up Manual, Chapter
7

12-pulse mode 12-pulse power converter

- Set the parameters for 12-pulse mode (see further on in this

chapter)

Please make sure that the current limitation parameters (406),

(2307) and (2308) are equal in size.

- Connect the power sections of master and slave to the mains

- Repeat start-up procedure as before with the master power con-
verter.
- Check the settings of both limits for continuous current flow, and
re-optimize the current regulator parameters. (The current regu-
lator self-setting functions cannot be used here.)
- Optimize the speed controller parameters in the master.
- Set/check the parameters for the monitoring functions.
- Check the current distribution.
- Check the error messages and the safety shutdown functions.
