5.1.3 Starting the FlexDrive
II
If you have followed the instructions in the previous sections, you should now have connected
all the power sources, your choice of inputs and outputs and the serial cable linking the PC
with the FlexDrive
II
.
5.1.4 Preliminary checks
Before you apply power for the first time, it is very important to verify the following:
H
Disconnect the load from the motor until instructed to apply a load. If this cannot be done,
disconnect the motor wires at connector X1/X1A.
H
Verify that the front panel DIP switches 1-9 are in the Off position.
It is recommended that you use RS232 communications to begin with, in which case DIP
switch 10 must also be in the Off position. However, if you are using RS485/RS422
communication then DIP switch 10 must be in the On position (also DIP switch 6 if
termination is required).
H
Verify that the AC line voltage matches the specification of the FlexDrive
II
.
H
Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness.
H
Verify that all wiring conforms to applicable codes.
H
Verify that the FlexDrive
II
and motor are properly earthed/grounded.
H
Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5.1.5 Power on checks
If at any time the Status display shows a flashing symbol or ‘E.’ this indicates that the drive has
detected a fault - see section 7.
1. Turn on the 24VDC supply (only for FlexDrive
II
with catalog numbers FDHxxxxx-xxx
3
/
FPHxxxxx-xxx
3
).
2. Turn on the AC supply.
3. After a brief test sequence, the Status display should show a minus sign (
).
If the display is not lit then re-check the power supply connections.
4. If the motor wires were disconnected in section 5.1.4, turn off the AC supply and reconnect
the motor wires. Turn on the AC supply.
5. To allow the Commissioning Wizard to function, SW1 DIP switch 8 will need to be set to the
On position to allow the FlexDrive
II
to be enabled. If you do not wish to enable the FlexDrive
II
yet, the Commissioning Wizard will inform you when this step is necessary.
6. To allow the Commissioning Wizard to function, the +24VDC drive enable signal will need to
be present on connector X3 (between pins 7 and 9) to allow the FlexDrive
II
to be enabled. If
you do not wish to enable the FlexDrive
II
yet, the Commissioning Wizard will inform you when
this step is necessary.
The FlexDrive
II
is now ready to be commissioned using Mint WorkBench.
