66 Guidelines for planning the electrical installation
Connecting a motor temperature sensor to the drive I/O
WARNING! IEC 60664 requires double or reinforced insulation between live parts
and the surface of accessible parts of electrical equipment which are either non-
conductive or conductive but not connected to the protective earth.
To fulfill this requirement, the connection of a thermistor (and other similar components) to
the digital inputs of the drive can be implemented in three alternate ways:
1. There is double or reinforced insulation between the thermistor and live parts of the
motor.
2. Circuits connected to all digital and analog inputs of the drive are protected against
contact and insulated with basic insulation (the same voltage level as the drive main
circuit) from other low voltage circuits.
3. An external thermistor relay is used. The insulation of the relay must be rated for the
same voltage level as the main circuit of the drive. For connection, see the firmware
manual.
See section AI1 and AI2 as Pt100, Pt1000, PTC and KTY84 sensor inputs (XAI, XAO) on
page 93 or section DI6 (XDI:6) as PTC sensor input on page 94 .
This table shows what sensor types you can connect to the drive I/O extension and
encoder interface modules. These modules require double or reinforced insulation
between live parts and the surface of accessible parts of electrical equipment
Note : The inaccuracy of the drive analog inputs for Pt100 sensors is 10 °C (50 °F). If more
accuracy is needed, use the FAIO-01 analog I/O extension module (L525). It
forms double insulation.
