Installation and Wiring
1-25
Compare the field current value of the motor to the rated value of the
internal field converter of the drive (see
below) and set switch
S14 to the closest value.
Note: The configuration of switch S14 is not required if the motor’s field
control is provided via an external source, however, in this case it is
recommended that the switch settings be completed as described above.
Table 1.G DIP Switch S14 Field Current Configuration Settings
Relay Outputs
Terminals 35 and 36 and 75 and 76 are N.O. relay outputs. The relay output
between terminals 35 and 36 is configured with parameter
[Relay Out
1 Sel]. The relay output between terminals 75 and 76 is configured with
parameter
[Relay Out 2 Sel]. See
for
more information.
Thermistors and Thermal Switches
To detect motor overheating and protect the motor from overloading, an
external, user-supplied thermistor (PTC) or thermal switch must be
connected to terminals 78 and 79. The drive’s response to a motor over
temperature fault is configured in parameter
[OverTemp Flt Cfg]. If a
temperature sensor is not used, a 1k ohm resistor must be connected
