Terms and abbreviations
Term/abbreviation
Explanation
ACS-BP-S
Basic control panel, basic operator keypad for communication with the
drive.
ACS-AP-x
Assistant control panel, advanced operator keypad for communication
with the drive.
The ACS580 supports types ACS-AP-I, ACS-AP-S and ACS-AP-W
(with a Bluetooth interface).
AI
Analog input; interface for analog input signals
AO
Analog output; interface for analog output signals
Brake chopper
Conducts the surplus energy from the intermediate circuit of the drive to
the brake resistor when necessary. The chopper operates when the DC
link voltage exceeds a certain maximum limit. The voltage rise is
typically caused by deceleration (braking) of a high inertia motor.
Brake resistor
Dissipates the drive surplus braking energy conducted by the brake
chopper to heat. Essential part of the brake circuit. See chapter
Brake
chopper
in the
Hardware manual
of the drive.
Control board
Circuit board in which the control program runs.
