 Precautions for use

3 Precautions for use

This chapter explains the limitations and other items the user must note when using the power controller.

z Always use the power controller with Oriental Motor’s torque motor.
Check the permitted power controller/motor combinations in “4-2 List of combinations” on p.6.

z If your equipment needs to be able to actuate an emergency stop of the motor, provide a mechanical
function to stop the motor and hold its position.
Once the thermal protector of the motor is actuated (becomes open), output from the power controller will stop.
However, the protective function alone cannot stop the motor immediately. If your equipment needs to be able to
actuate an emergency stop of the motor, provide a mechanical function to stop the motor and hold its position.

z Do not install an electromagnetic contactor or power relay between the motor and power controller.
If the direction is switched between forward and reverse using an electromagnetic contactor, etc., the power
controller may be damaged.

z Connect a earth leakage breaker to the primary power circuit.

Connect an earth leakage breaker to the power line of the power controller to protect the primary circuit.
(Refer to p.37)
Recommended device: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation NV series

z Cable size and wiring distance

Use a power cable and motor cable of AWG18 to 14 (0.75 to 2.0 mm2) in size.
The maximum extendable wiring distance between the motor and power controller is 20 m (65.6 ft.). If the wiring
distance between the power controller and motor must exceed 20 m (65.6 ft.), please contact your nearest Oriental
Motor branch or sales office.
Minimize the length of the signal cable. Also, wire the control lines away from the main circuits, relay sequence circuits
and other high-power circuits of peripherals, in order to prevent induction by peripherals.

Installation

5-3 Conformity to the EMC

Effective measures must be taken against the EMI that the motor and power controller may give to adjacent control
system equipment, as well as the EMS of the motor and power controller itself, in order to prevent a serious functional
impediment in the machinery. The use of the following installation and wiring methods will enable the motor and
power controller to be compliant with the EMC.
Oriental Motor conducts EMC testing on its motors and power controllers in accordance with “Example of installation
and wiring” on p.11. The user is responsible for ensuring the machine's compliance with the EMC, based on the
installation and wiring explained below.

CAUTION This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments nor for use on a low-
voltage public network supplied in residential premises, and it may not provide adequate
protection to radio reception interference in such environments.

„ Connecting a mains filter for power supply line

Connect a mains filter in the AC input line to prevent the noise generating in the power controller from irradiating out
via the power supply lines.
Use the following product or an equivalent mains filter.

Manufacturer Model
Schaffner EMC FN2070-10-06
SOSHIN ELECTRIC CO., LTD NF2010A-UP

• Install the mains filter at a position as close as possible to the inverter. Also, use cable clamps, etc., to securely affix
the input and output cables of the mains filter to the enclosure in order to prevent the cables from separating from
the enclosure surface. Use as thick a cable as possible to connect the grounding terminal of the mains filter to a
grounding point over the minimum distance.
• Do not wire the AC input cable and the mains filter’s output cable in parallel. Doing so may allow the noise in the
enclosure to enter the power supply cable via stray capacitance and compromise the effect of the mains filter.

„ Connecting surge arrester

Use a surge arrester or equivalent as below.

Manufacturer Model
SOSHIN ELECTRIC CO., LTD LT-C12G801WS
OKAYA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES CO., LTD. R·C·M-601BQZ-4
PHOENIX CONTACT GmbH & Co. KG VAL-MS 230 VF ST

Note When measuring dielectric strength of the equipment, be sure to remove the surge arrester, or the
surge arrester may be damaged.

„ Grounding methods
To prevent an electric potential difference from generating at a grounding point, ground each of the motor and mains
filter over the minimum distance using as thick a cable as possible. Provide a wide, thick and uniform conductive
surface at each grounding point.

„ Connecting the motor cable

Connect the motor using a cable of 20 m (65.5 ft.) or shorter. For the connection method, refer to “6-3 Connecting the
main circuit terminals” on p.16.

„ Wiring the control cable

Wire each control cable of the power controller over the minimum distance using a shielded cable. For the applicable
cable, refer to “6-4 Connecting the control circuit terminals” on p.17.

−10−
 Installation

„ Wiring a shielded cable

Ground each shielded cable using a metal cable clamp that contacts the entire periphery of the shielded cable. Install
the cable clamp at the tip of the shielded cable and connect it to an appropriate grounding point.

Shielded cable Cable clamp

„ Notes about installation and wiring

• Connect the motor directly to their grounding points so as not to generate difference in grounding electrical
potential between the motor/inverter and control system equipment nearby.
• If a relay or electromagnetic switch is used with the inverter, connect a mainsfilter or surge absorber to absorb any
surge voltage that may generate from the relay or electromagnetic switch.
• Minimize the wiring length of each cable and do not loop or bundle any extra length.
• Wire the power cables such as the motor cable and power supply cable separately from the control cables, and
keep a minimum distance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) between the two sets of cables. Also keep as much distance as
possible between the AC input cable and output cable of the mains filter.

„ Using a external control equipment with a built-in clamp diode

If input signals are generated according to the sink logic and an external control device with built-in clamp diode is
used, a sneak current path may be formed and the motor may operate even when the power to the external control
device is cut off, as long as the power controller receives power. The motor may also run when the controller power
and inverter power are turned on/off simultaneously, because the power capacity of the controller is different from
that of the inverter.
When turning on the power, turn on the external control equipment power first, and then turn on the power
controller power. When turning off the power, turn off the power controller power first, and then turn off the external
control equipment power.

This chapter explains the basic operations of the power controller.

7-1 Basic operations

The method to set torque using the internal torque potentiometer is explained.
For the method to set torque using the external torque potentiometer or external DC voltage, refer to p.22.
Turn on the AC power and DC power, input CW or CCW, and then adjust the torque using the internal torque
potentiometer. The ALARM LED will illuminate briefly when the DC power is turned on. This is not a malfunction.

z Running/stopping the motor and changing the motor direction

Check “7-3 Timing chart” for the action of the motor in response to the input signals or ON-OFF of the power supply.

Turn the CW input or CCW input ON to run the motor. Turn the input OFF, and the motor will stop. When the CW input
is turned ON, the motor will rotate in the clockwise direction as viewed from the output shaft side of the motor. When
the CCW input is turned ON, the motor will rotate in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the output shaft
side of the motor. If the CW input and CCW input are turned ON simultaneously, the motor will stop.

*1 When both the AC power and DC power are turned on, the power controller will check the AC power frequency
(50 Hz or 60 Hz). If the AC power is turned off while the AC power frequency is being checked, motor operation
will become unstable at the next driving. When motor operation is unstable, once turn off the AC power and DC
power and turn on again.
*2 After the AC power and DC power are supplied, wait at least approximately 100 ms before operating the motor.
The AC power or DC power can be turned on in any order.
*3 Do not change the AC power frequency once the AC power and DC power have turned on. If the power frequency
is changed from the frequency confirmed when both powers were turned on, the power controller may
malfunction. When changing the AC power frequency, do so after turning off the AC power (for at least 100 ms).
*4 If the CW input and CCW input are turned ON simultaneously, the motor will stop.
*5 Immediate two-step torque switching becomes possible by means of using the INT/EXT input signal to switch
between the value set with the internal torque potentiometer and one set with the external torque potentiometer.

Note Do not turn off the AC power for at least approximately 100 ms after both the AC power and DC
power are turned on.

 Operation

7-4 Parallel operation

When two or more motors are to be operated at the same torque, you can do so by using either external DC voltage
or the external torque potentiometer.

„ Using external DC voltage

• Use a DC power supply whose current capacity is equal to or greater than the value calculated by the formula
below: Current capacity I when N number of power controllers are used = 1 × N (mA)
[Example] If there are two power controllers, the power capacity should be equal to or greater than 2 mA.
• Connect other I/O signals to each power controller.
• Any difference in torque among the motors can be fine-tuned using the torque fine-tuning potentiometer.

 Alarm output

8 Alarm output

8-1 Alarm output signal circuit

The alarm function monitors the electrical current flowing through the motor in order to detect an actuation of the
built-in thermal protector of the motor. This alarm function will actuate in the following conditions:
• The built-in thermal protector of the motor has actuated (become open).
• Improper motor cable connection or wire breakage.
Upon occurrence of either of the above conditions, the alarm output will turn OFF and the ALARM LED will blink
(output to the motor will stop).
The ALARM LED will illuminate briefly when the DC power is turned on. This is not a malfunction.
The alarm output signals of this inverter are open-collector outputs. Therefore, an external power supply is needed to
operate the output signals. Use an external power supply with a voltage range not exceeding 26.4 V, and connect a
limiting resistor appropriate for the power supply voltage so as not to cause the current to exceed 40 mA. No external
power supply is required if the output signals are not used. The output circuit terminals are insulated to the reinforced
insulation standard for protection against dangerous voltages.

The ALARM output remains ON when the inverter is normal, and turns OFF when an alarm generates (normally

When an alarm is generated, in most cases it will be automatically reset by an appropriate protective function of the
power controller.

An alarm can also be reset by turning the DC power off and then turning it back on. If this method is used, however,
turn OFF the CW input and CCW input first, as you would before inputting the alarm reset signal, before cycling the
DC power.

Note • Always input an alarm reset signal after removing the cause of the alarm.
• Inputting an alarm reset signal while a run signal is input will not reset the alarm. The ALARM
RESET input is enabled only while the motor is stopped.

*2 While the built-in thermal protector of the motor remains actuated (open), the ALARM LED blinks at a short
frequency. Once the thermal protector is reset (becomes closed), the blinking frequency will become long.
*3 To reset an alarm, do so after turning the CW input or CCW input OFF. The alarm reset input will become effective
when the input is reset (OFF), provided that the input has remained ON for at least 10 ms. Alarms cannot be reset
while the CW input or CCW input is ON.
*4 To restart the motor after resetting an alarm, wait for at least 10 ms and then turn the run command input ON.
*5 If an alarm output generates due to actuation (opening) of the built-in thermal protector of the motor, keep the
AC power on. This way, the blinking speed of the ALARM LED will slow once the thermal protector has been reset
(closed), which shows that thermal protector has been reset.

If the alarm is not reset, the CPU may be experiencing an error. In this case, turn the run command input OFF and then
cycle the DC power.
