Quick installation guide

Verify that all mounting frames are properly grounded and that contact 
surfaces are free of paint.

This servo drive does not provide comprehensive mitigation for fire hazards. 
It is intended to be installed inside a supplementary enclosure or in a 

restricted-access area which provides appropriate protection against spread 

of fire.

 

Warning! 

Wiring to the drive must be done by a qualified electrical 

engineer. Ignoring the following safety instructions may 

cause

 personal 

injury or death and equipment damage.

Note! 

Electrical design and installation must comply with local laws and 

regulations. ABB is not responsible for installations that violate local 

laws or regulations.

Dangerous voltage charges may remain in the drive even after a power 

outage, so be sure to wait at least 5 minutes after a power outage to 

measure to determine that the device is de-energized before performing any 

wiring or inspections.

Avoid touching any other live parts in the workplace. Take special 

precautions when working near exposed conductors.

Make sure that the servo system is safely grounded in accordance with local 

regulations to ensure the reliability of the equipment.

Do not connect the servo drive to a voltage higher than that marked on the 

model label, it can cause damage to internal components.

Do not solder exposed wires. Solder will shrink over time, potentially causing 

loose connections. Use crimp connections whenever possible.

The AC power supply must be fused.

The control cable should have sufficient electrical safety distance from the 

main circuit cable, or double or reinforced insulation isolation measures 

should be provided between the control cable and main circuit cable.

After you disconnect power from the drive, always wait 5 minutes to let the 

capacitors discharge before you continue. 

Lock out and tag out after disconnection from power supply, to avoid any 
misoperation.

E530 EtherCAT servo drive is suitable to be used with residual current 
devices of Type B. Other measures for protection in case of direct or indirect 

contact, such as separation from the environment by double or reinforced 

insulation or isolation from the supply system by a transformer, can also be 

applied.

 

Warning! 

Please follow these instructions. Ignoring the following 

safety instructions may cause personal injury, increase electromagnetic 

interference, and lead to equipment failure. If you are not a qualified 

electrical professional, do not perform grounding work. 

Make sure that the servo drive, motor, and adjacent equipment are 
grounded. This is a necessary measure to ensure personal safety. Proper 

grounding can also reduce electromagnetic radiation and interference.

• 

Make sure that the protective grounding (PE) conductor has sufficient 
conductivity. Comply with local regulations.

• 

Make sure that the size of the grounding wire meets the requirements of 
safety regulations.

• 

In a multi servo drive device, connect each one separately to the protective 
grounding (PE) of the power supply.

• 

When EMC emissions must be minimized, make a 360° grounding at the 
cable entries in order to suppress electromagnetic disturbances. In 

addition, connect the cable shields to protective earth (PE) in order to meet 

safety regulations.

Note:

• 

Power cable shields are suitable for equipment grounding conductors only 
when adequately sized to meet safety regulations.

• 

According to the requirements of standard EN 61800-5-1 (section 4.4.4.3.3), 
due to the normal contact current of the servo drive being higher than 3.5 

mA AC or 10 mA DC, a fixed protective grounding connection must be used:

- The cross-sectional area of the protective grounding conductor must be 

at least 10 mm

copper wire or 16 mm

aluminum wire, or

- Automatically disconnect the power supply when the protective 

grounding conductor is interrupted, or

- Replace with a backup protective grounding conductor with the same 

cross-sectional area as the original protective grounding conductor.

• 

Leakage current >3.5 mA AC.

 

Warning!  

Before operation, adjust the drive parameters to match the 

user-defined parameters of the mechanical system. Mismatched 

parameters may cause damage to the servo drive, motor or mechanical 

system.

Adjust the limit value (speed, current, etc.) of the servo drive, and make sure 

that the motor and all driven equipment can run within the limit range.

Be careful with hot surfaces. During use, the surfaces of servo system 

components (such as reactors or braking resistors) can become very hot and 

remain hot for a period of time after the power is disconnected. Braking 

resistors may generate enough heat to ignite flammable materials. To avoid 

fire hazard, keep all flammable materials and flammable substances away 

from the braking resistor.

Make sure that the safety circuits (eg emergency stop) connected to the 

servo drive are verified.

The servo drive is allowed to power on up to 5 times every 10 minutes. Too 

frequent power-ups can damage the DC capacitor charging circuit.

Before using the automatic fault reset or automatic restart function of the 

servo drive, make sure that no dangerous situation occurs. After a fault or 

power interruption, the servo drive automatically resets and continues to run 

through these functions. If these functions are used, they must be clearly 

marked on the equipment as specified in IEC/EN 61800-5-1, clause 6.5.3, eg 

"This equipment will start up automatically".

 

Warning! 

Maintenance and inspection of the drive should only be 

performed by a qualified electrical engineer. Do not touch any internal 

or external parts of the servo drive and motor, as doing so may result in 

electric shock.

The fan and other components of the servo drive are replaced and 

maintained by ABB or an authorized service center, Users are not allowed to 

disassemble them.

Servo drives are not field repairable. Do not repair a malfunctioning servo 

drive. If the servo drive fails, please contact your local ABB office or 

authorized service center.
