replace the screws marked with “ ” with the 
provided polyamide screws, depending on 
the frame size.

Power connections

Optional braking

Wiring the controls

 1. Strip control cable 

sheathing and twist the 
copper shield into a 
bundle. 

 2. Route control cable(s) 

through clamp(s) and 
tighten clamp(s).

 3. Connect the ground 

shield bundle for digital 
and analog I/O cables at 
X1-1. (Ground only at 
the drive end.)

 4. Strip the individual 

control wires and connect to the drive terminals. 
Use a tightening torque of 0.4 N·m (0.3 lb·ft). See 

Control connections

 below or, for more detail, 

see 

User’s Manual

.

Note 2. 

Code: 0 = open, 1 = connected

WARNING!

 The maximum voltage for digital 

inputs is 30 V.

Check installation

Before applying power, perform the following 
checks. 

Reinstall the cover

 1. Align the cover 

and slide it on.

 2. Tighten the captive 

screws around the 
edge of the cover.

 3. Slide the hood 

down over the top 
of the cover (UL 
type 12 only).

 4. Install the two 

screws that attach 
the hood (UL type 
12 only).

 5. Install the control panel.

Note:

  The control panel window must be closed to 

comply with IP54 / UL type 12.

 6. Optional: Add a lock (not supplied) to secure 

the control panel window.

Apply power

Always reinstall the front cover before turning 
power on. 

WARNING!

 The ACS550 will start up 

automatically at power up, if the external run 
command is on.

 1. Apply input power.

When power is applied to the ACS550, the 
green LED comes on.

Note:

  Before increasing motor speed, check that 

the motor is running in the desired direction.

Start-up

In start-up, enter motor data (collected earlier) 
and, if needed, edit parameters that define how 
the drive operates and communicates.

Assistant Control Panel

The Start-up Assistant steps through typical 
start-up selections, and runs automatically 
upon the initial power up. At other times, use 
the steps below to run the Start-up Assistant.

 1. Use the MENU key to 

access the Main menu.

 2. Select ASSISTANTS.
 3. Select Start-up Assistant.
 4. Follow the screen 

instructions to configure the 
system. 

Note:

For common parameters and menu items, 
use the Help key

 

 

to display 

descriptions.
If you encounter alarms or faults, 
use the Help key or refer to chapter 

Diagnostics

 in 

User’s Manual

.

Basic Control Panel

The Basic Control Panel does not 
include the Start-up Assistant. Refer to 
section 

How to start up the drive

 in 

User’s Manual

 and manually enter any 

parameter changes desired.
