Latest Technology, High Performance and a User Friendly Concept

The DCS 500 series is a complete range of DC converters with high performance and reliability intended for
the supply and control of DC machine armatures.
DCA 500 is a DCS 500 converter module mounted in
a converter enclosure called "Common Cabinet" ( see
separate documentation).
DCF 500 is a DCS 500 module modified in a way to
supply other consumers than armature circuits of DC
machines ( e.g. inductive loads like motor field windings, magnets etc.).
For revamp projects ABB has created a special "Rebuild
Kit" called DCR 500 to polish up your old DC power
stack with a new modern digital front end (see separate
documentation).

TOOLS
• Effort, time and cost will be saved with the userfriendly CMT-Tool (Commissioning and Maintenance Tool) for drive programming, commissioning, monitoring and maintenance.

A selection of options is available to provide the user
with a system meeting the most demanding technical
requirements and performance expectations as well as
many safety standards.
Common control electronics throughout the whole
range reduce spare parts, inventory and training.

Wide Variety of Industrial
Applications
The DCS, DCA, DCF and DCR converters can
handle most demanding applications like:
• Metals
• Pulp & Paper
• Material handling
• Test Rigs
• Food & Beverage
• Printing
• Plastic & Rubber
• Oil Rigs
• Vessels
• Ski lifts
• Magnets
• MG Sets
• Electrolysis
• Battery Chargers
• and more

• Data Logger • Trending • Fault Logger
• Parameter/Signals • Local operation
• GAD Tool (Graphical Application Designer) contains an extensive library of standard function blocks
for the creation of customized software solutions
creating conveniently the documentation during
programming.
Both, CMT and GAD, represent a powerful set for each
design, commissioning and service engineer to achieve
best results and performance.

In case you want to re-configure terminals by means of
software, please read the software description first and
inform yourself about the possibilities you have before
you start. (Never change any terminal while your drive
is still connected to the mains!). After that you need to
make sure that the correct signals are provided to your
terminals.

RUN

DCS 500 drives are freely programmable and therefore
also terminals with their in and outs can be modified in
their functionality.
When you receive your converter all terminals from X3:
to X7: are set to a default configuration as shown below.
This enables you to connect your drive according to
connection example (see chapter 3) without any changes.

Armature converter components overview

2.2 DCS 500B Power Converter Modules

The power converter modules are modular in construction. They are based on the casing, which houses the
power section with the RC snubber circuit. There are
different sizes (C1a/b, C2a/b, A5, A6, A7), graduated
in terms of current and voltage ranges. All units are fancooled.

depending on the particular application involved, e.g.
a field supply for the motor, or an interface board. A
control/display panel is available for the operator. It can
be snapped into place on the power converter module
or installed in the switchgear cubicle door by means of
a mounting kit.

The power section is controlled by the unit’s electronic
system, which is identical for the entire range. Parts of
the unit’s electronic system can be installed in the unit,

Accessories such as external fuses, line reactors etc. are
also available, to compose a complete drive system.

Reference variables
The voltage characteristics are shown
in Table 2.2/1. The DC voltage characteristics have been calculated using
the following assumptions:
• UVN = rated input terminal voltage, 3-phase
• Voltage tolerance ±10 %
• Internal voltage drop approx. 1%
• If a deviation or a voltage drop has
to be taken into consideration in
compliance with IEC and VDE
standards, the output voltage or
the output current must be reduced by the actual factor according to the table on the right.

2.3 DCS 500B Overload Capability
To match a drive system’s components as efficiently as possible to the driven
machine’s load profile, the armature power converters DCS 500B can be dimensioned by means of the load cycle. Load cycles for driven machines have been
defined in the IEC 146 or IEEE specifications, for example.
The currents for the DC I to DC IV types of load (see diagram on the following page) for the power converter
modules are listed in the table below.
Unit type

Table 2.3/1:
Power converter module
currents with corresponding
load cycles.
The characteristics are
based on an ambient temperature of max. 40°C and
an elevation of max. 1000 m
a.s.l.

Table 2.3/2: Definition of the load cycles

If the driven machine’s load cycle does
not correspond to one of the examples
listed, you can determine the necessary
power converter using the DriveSize software program.
This program can be run under Microsoft® Windows,
and enables you to dimension the motor and the power
converter, taking types of load (load cycle), ambient
temperature, site elevation, etc. into account. The
design result will be presented in tables, charts, and can
be printed out as well.
To facilitate the start-up procedure as much as possible
the converter´s software is structured similar as the
inputs made at the program. Because of that many of
the data can be directly utilized at the converter like
high current, line voltage and others.

2.4 Field Supply

General data
• Currents from 6 to 520 A
• Minimum field current monitor
• Integrated external field power converter or completely separate switchgear cubicle
• 2-phase or 3-phase model
• Fully digital control (except SDCS-FEX-1)
We recommend integrating an autotransformer in the
field power converter's supply circuit to adjust the AC
input voltage to the field voltage and for reducing the
voltage ripple in the field circuit.

All field power converters (except for the SDCS-FEX1) are controlled by the armature-circuit converter via
a serial interface at a speed of 62.5 kBaud. This interface
serves to parameterize, control and diagnose the field
power converter and thus provides an option for exact
control. Moreover, it enables you to control an internal
(SDCS-FEX-2A) and an external (DCF 501B/2B/3A/
4A) or two external field supply units (2 x DCF 501B/
2B/3A/4A). The respective software function required
is available in every DC power converter.

Field converter types
SDCS-FEX-1

SDCS-FEX-2A

• Diode bridge
• 6 A rated current
• Internal minimum field current monitor, requiring
no adjustment.
• Construction and components have been designed
for an insulation voltage of 600 V AC.
• Output voltage UA:

• Half-controlled thyristor/diode bridge (1-Q)
• Microprocessor control, with the electronic system
being supplied by the armature-circuit converter.
• Construction and components have been designed
for an insulation voltage of 600 V AC.
• Fast-response excitation is possible with an appropriate voltage reserve; de-excitation takes place by
field time constant.
• Output voltage UA:

TOL = tolerance of line voltage in %
UV = Line voltage

• Recommendation:
Field voltage ~ 0,9 * UV

TOL = tolerance of line voltage in %
UV = Line voltage

• Recommendation:
Field voltage 0.6 to 0.8 * UV

3ADW000066R0901_DCS500_System_description_e_i

DCF 503A

DCF 500B

• Half-controlled thyristor/diode bridge (1-Q)
• Microprocessor control with the control electronics
being supplied separately (115...230 V/1-ph).
• Construction and components have been designed
for an insulation voltage of 690 V AC.
• Output voltage UA:

This field power converter is used mainly for armaturecircuit converters with rated currents of 2050 to 5200
A. It consists of a modified armature-circuit converter.
• Output voltage UA respectively Udmax 2-Q :
see table 2.2/1
• Recommendation:
Field voltage 0.5 to 1.1 * UV
• The three-phase field supply converters DCF 501B/
502B need a separate active Overvoltage Protection
unit DCF 506 for protecting the power part against
inadmissibly high voltages.
The overvoltage protection unit DCF 506 is suitable for 2-Q converters DCF 501B and for
4-Q converters DCF 502B.

⎛ 100% + TOL ⎞
U A = UV * ⎜
⎟ * 0,9
⎝
100% ⎠
TOL = tolerance of line voltage in %
UV = Line voltage

• Recommendation:
Field voltage 0.6 to 0.8 * UV

DCF 504A
• Fully-controlled antiparallel thyristor bridges (4-Q)
• This unit is permissible -in difference to the SDCSFEX-2- for fast-response excitation / de-excitation
as well as field reversal. For fast-response excitation
an appropriate voltage reserve is necessary.
In the steady-state condition, the fully-controlled
bridge runs in half-controlled mode so as to keep the
voltage ripple as low as possible. With a quickly
alternating field current, the bridge runs in fullycontrolled mode.
• Same design as DCF 503A

Equipment

The CDP 312 control and display panel communicates
with the power converter via a serial connection in
accordance with the RS 485 standard at a transmission
rate of 9.6 kBaud. It is an option for the converter unit.
After completion of the commissioning procedure, the
panel is not necessarily required for diagnostic routines,
because the basic unit incorporates a 7-segment display
for indicating errors, for example.

• 16 membrane pushbuttons in three function groups
• LCD display comprising four lines with 20 characters each
• Language: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish
• Options for the CDP 312:
– cable, separated from the power converter for
utilization; 3 m long
– kit for mounting the panel in the switchgear
cubicle door

Operation by PC (continued)
The program incorporates nine different function windows which can be used to alter the application program on-line, to monitor the drive’s functionality, to
alter the parameter values, to control the drive and to
monitor its status. You will find below a brief description of the individual menu options, some of which are
shown as a screen display to serve as examples.

Diagrams
This window shows the function block diagram created by
means of the GAD program. If necessary, the user can also
use this window to view the values of selected parameters or
connections.

Connect
This option is used to trigger special functions such as establishing the connection to the power converter or configuring the program.
ParSig
The parameter and signal display enables the user to view
parameter or signal values in a table and to alter them. One
of the functions available for the user is to allocate each
parameter or each signal to self-defined groups. He/she can
then select only special groups, and trace or alter the values
of parameters or signals in this group.

Dlog
The DC power converter is able to continuously log up to six
signals and to store them in non-volatile memory from a
trigger condition to be set (level, pre-event and post-event
history). These values can then be read out by the program
in chronological sequence and processed further. They are
available as a table or as a diagram, in forms similar to those
with the “Trending” option, and can also be printed out in
these forms.

Trending
This window can be used to trace the signal characteristics
of specified parameters or signals. Up to six parameters or
signals can be monitored. The window shows the values in
a curve diagram.

Faults
This display shows the current fault messages last fed into
the fault logger in chronological sequence.

2.6 Options for the drive

Line reactors
for armature (DCS 50xB) and field
(DCF 50xB) supply
When thyristor power converters operate, the line
voltage is short-circuited during commutation from
one thyristor to the next. This operation causes voltage
dips in the mains (point of common coupling). For the
connection of a power converter system to the mains,
one of the following configurations can be applied:

Line
PCC

uk LR > 1%

Line

Configuration A

Configuration C1

When using the power converter, a minimum of impedance is required to ensure proper performance of the snubber
circuit. A line reactor can be used to meet
this minimum impedance requirement.
The value must therefore not drop below 1% uk (relative short circuit voltage).
It should not exceed 10% uk, due to
considerable voltage drops which would
then occur.

If 2 or more converters should be supplied by one
transformer the final configuration depends on the
number of drives in use and their power capability.
Configuration A or B has to be used which are based on
commutation chokes, if the drive system consists of any
of the converters
Line
(C1, C2, A5, A6,
A7). In case only two
PCC
converters type A7
are involved no commutation chokes are
necessary because the
LLR
LLR
LLR ....
design of these converters is adapted to
that wiring.

Configuration B

If special requirements have to be met at
the PCC (standards like EN 61 800-3,
DC and AC drives at the same line, etc),
different criteria must be applied for
PCC
selecting a line reactor. These requirements are often defined as a voltage dip
LLR
in percent of the nominal supply voltage.
The combined impedance of ZLine and
ZLR constitute the total series impedance
of the installation. The ratio between the
line impedance and the line reactor impedance determines the voltage dip at the connecting point. In such
cases line chokes with an impedance around 4% are
often used.
LLine

Line
PCC

Configuration C
If an isolation transformer is used, it is
possible to comply with certain connecting conditions per Configuration B without using an additional line reactor. The
condition described in Configuration A
will then likewise be satisfied, since the uk
is >1 %.

Netzdr_f.dsf

With reference to the power converter:
The line reactors listed in table (2.6/1)
- have been allocated to the units nominal current
- are independent of converter's voltage classification; at some converter types the same line choke is
used up to 690 V line voltage
- are based on a duty cycle
- can be used for DCS 500B as well as for DCF 500B
converters

Aspects of fusing for the armature-circuit and field supplies of DC drives
General

Conclusion for the armature supply

Unit configuration
Protection elements such as fuses or overcurrent trips
are used whenever overcurrents cannot entirely be ruled
out. In some configurations, this will entail the following questions: firstly, at what point should which
protective element be incorporated? And secondly, in
the event of what faults will the element in question
provide protection against damage?

Due to cost saving standard fuses are used instead of the
more expensive semiconductor fuses at some applications. Under normal and stable operating conditions,
this is understandable and comprehensible, as long as
fault scenarios can be ruled out.

In the event of a fault , however, the saving may cause
very high consequential costs. Exploding power semiconductors may not only destroy the power converter,
but also cause fires.
Adequate protection against short-circuit and earth
fault, as laid down in the EN50178 standard, is possible only with appropriate semiconductor fuses.

Conclusion for the field supply
Basically, similar conditions apply for both field supply
and armature-circuit supply. Depending on the power
converter used (diode bridge, half-controlled bridge,
fully controlled 4-quadrant bridge), some of the fault
sources may not always be applicable. Due to special
system conditions, such as supply via an autotransformer or an isolating transformer, new protection conditions may additionally apply.
The following configurations are relatively frequent:
In contrast to the armature-circuit supply, fuses are
never used on the DC side for the field supply, since a
fuse trip might under certain circumstances lead to
greater damage than would the cause tripping the fuse
in the first place (small, but long-lasting overcurrent;
fuse ageing; contact problems; etc.).
Semiconductor fuse F3.1 (super-fast acting) should be
used, if conditions similar to those for armature-circuit
supply are to apply, like for example protection of the
field supply unit and the field winding.

Fig 2.6/2 Configuration for field supplies

The F3.2 and F3.3 fuse types serve as line protectors
and cannot protect the field supply unit. Only pure
HRC fuses or miniature circuit-breakers may be used.
Semiconductor fuses would be destroyed, for example,
by the transformer’s starting current inrush.

Semiconductor type F1 fuses and fuse holders for AC and DC power lines
(DCS 501B /DCS 502B - DCF 501B/DCF 502B)
The converter units are subdivided into two
groups:
– Unit sizes C1 and C2 with rated currents
up to 1000 A require external fuses.
– In unit sizes A5, A6 and A7 with rated
currents of 900 A to 5200 A, the semiconductor fuses are installed internally (no
additional external semiconductor fuses
are needed).
The table on the right assigns the AC fuse
type to the converter type. In case the converter should be equipped with DC fuses
according to the hints use the same type of
fuse used on the AC side now in the plus and
minus line. Blade type fuses are used for all

Depending on the protection strategy
different types of fuses are to be used.
The fuses are sized according to the
nominal current of the field supply device. If the field supply unit is connected
to two phases of the network, two fuses
should be used; in case the unit is connected to one phase and neutral only one
fuse at the phase can be used. Table 2.6/

Transformer T3 for field supply to match voltage levels

Fig. 2.6/4: T3 autotransformer

The field supply units’ insulation voltage is
higher than the rated operating voltage (see
Chapter Field supplies), thus providing an
option in systems of more than 500 V for
supplying the power section of the converter
directly from the mains for purposes of armature supply, and using an autotransformer to
match the field supply to its rated voltage.
Moreover, you can use the autotransformer
to adjust the field voltage (SDCS-FEX-1
diode bridge) or to reduce the voltage ripple.
Different types (primary voltages of 400...500

When using the SDCS-FEX-2A field power converter,
you should additionally use a commutating reactor

Technical Guide
chapter: EMC Compliant Installation and
Configuration for a
Power Drive System

The paragraphs below describe selection of the electrical components in conformity with the EMC Guideline.
The aim of the EMC Guideline is, as the name implies,
to achieve electromagnetic compatibility with other
products and systems. The guideline ensures that the
emissions from the product concerned are so low that
they do not impair another product's interference
immunity.
In the context of the EMC Guideline, two aspects must
be borne in mind:
• the product's interference immunity

• the product's actual emissions
The EMC Guideline expects EMC to be taken into
account when a product is being developed; however,
EMC cannot be designed in, it can only be quantitatively measured.
Note on EMC conformity

The conformity procedure is the responsibility of both
the power converter's supplier and the manufacturer of
the machine or system concerned, in proportion to
their share in expanding the electrical equipment involved.

The filters are suitable for grounded lines only, for
example in public European 400 V lines. According to
EN 61800-3 filters are not needed in insulated industrial lines with own supply transformers. Furthermore
they could cause safety risks in such floating lines (IT
networks).

Three - phase filters

EMC filters are necessary to fulfil the standard for
emitted interference if a converter shall be run at a
public low voltage line, in Europe for example with 400
V between the phases. Such lines have a grounded
neutral conductor. ABB offers suitable three - phase
filters for 400 V and 25 A...600 A and 500 V filters for
440 V lines outside Europe.

The filters can be optimized for the real motor currents:
IFilter = 0.8 • IMOT max ; the factor 0.8 respects the current
ripple.
Lines with 500 V to 1000 V are not public. They are
local lines inside factories, and they do not supply
sensitive electronics. Therefore converters do not need
EMC filters if they shall run with 500 V and more.

Single - phase filters for field supply

Many field supply units are single - phase converters for
up to 50 A excitation current. They can be supplied by
two of the three input phases of the armature supply
converter. Then a field supply unit does not need its
own filter.
If the phase to neutral voltage shall be taken (230 V in
a 400 V line) then a separate filter is necessary. ABB
offers such filters for 250 V and 6...30 A.

How to engineer your drive

This chapter will give engineering hints for different drive configurations. In the first place converters are shown with all possible field supply
options using wiring diagrams. Afterwards wiring diagrams are only shown for the most common configurations.
• Standard drive configuration using an internal field
(see chapter 3.1)
The first configuration shows a speed controlled drive, using a very
flexible external wiring and a build in field supply. With these
components, it will fit to most drives of the smaller power range .
This configuration can only be used together with construction
types C1 - A5, because bigger power stacks (C4, A6, A7) do not
allow to incorporate an internal field supply.
• Drive configuration using the internal field with reduced external components (see chapter 3.2)
The second configuration uses the same basic components as the
one first, but a reduced external wiring schematics.
This configuration can only be used together with construction
types C1 - A5, because bigger power stacks (C4, A6, A7) do not
allow to incorporate an internal field supply.
• Standard drive configuration using an external halfcontrolled field (1-ph) (see chapter 3.3)
The third configuration uses the external wiring of the first one, but
a more powerful and flexible field supply unit.
This configuration can be used for all construction types.

• Typical configuration for very high power drives using
two parallel converter modules with symmetrical load
share
Another configuration is the paralleling of converters. In this case
converters of the same construction type (A7) are placed close to
each other having connected their AC and DC terminals directly.
They will behave like one bigger converter, which is not available as
a single standard module. Such a system uses additional electronic
boards for safety functions as well as interfacing and monitoring the
converters.
More information on request.

• Standard configuration using a fully-controlled field
(3-ph) without armature converter (see chapter 3.4)
The fourth configuration shows a 3-phase field supply unit DCF
501B/2B as stand alone unit.
This configuration shows a system in field current control mode
and is used, if any type of existing DC-motor-field supply should
be upgraded to a digital controlled one with all modern options like
serial link etc.
There are other than field applications, magnets for example, which
can be controlled with this equipment in current or voltage control
mode without any additional components.
• Typical configuration for high power drives
(see chapter 3.5)
The fifth configuration is used for quite big drives and is based on
the diagrams used for configuration 3.3 and 3.4. Now all the
components used for the other two are shown all together with all
interconnections and interlockings needed. It is adapted to the
converter construction types A5, A6 and A7.

• Revamp of existing DC Equipment
If existing drives need modernization in some cases brand new
drives shown in one of the first configurations will replace them.
Because of space or economical reasons in some cases the existing
power stack will remain and only the control part is upgraded.
For these cases a construction kit based on electronic boards,
normally used in DCS- A7 type converters, called DCR revamp kit,
is available.
All options shown and explained in chapter 2 are suitable for this
kit.
Additional boards enable this kit to be used for power stack
constructions with up to four thyristors in parallel.

Start-up of Rebuild Kits.

• Master-Follower-Applications
- Drives connected in Master-Follower application
If motors have to run with the same speed / torque they are often
controlled in a way called MASTER - FOLLOWER.
Drives used for such systems are of the same type and may differ in
power, but will be supplied from the same network. Their number
normally is not limited.
From the control point of view different conditions and demands
need to be matched.
Examples are available on request from ABB Automation Products
GmbH.

Figure 3/4: 12-Pulse application with two mechanically connected motors

- Typical configuration for high power drives connected in
12-pulse parallel Master-Follower application

(see chapter 3.6)
This configuration shows a 12-pulse parallel drive system. It is an
easy option to increase the power of a drive system. Depending on
the engineering features , redundancy or emergency operation, if
one converter fails, is made available.
Such drives use two identical 6-pulse converters and an especially
designed choke called T-reactor or 12-pulse choke or interface
reactor. The converters are fed by a 12-pulse line transformer with
separated secondary windings whose phase positions differ by
30°el.
An example is the transformer configuration Ì/ /Ì. This
configuration gives a reduced level and a reduced order number of
harmonics on the AC side. Only the 11th and 13th, the 23rd and 25th,
the 35th a.s.o. are existing. The harmonics on the DC side are
reduced too, which gives a higher efficiency. (The field supply is not
shown on the wiring diagram 3.6. Depending on the field supply
selected, the connections to the network, the interlocking and the
control connections can be taken from any other wiring diagram
showing the selected field supply.)
It is not possible to connect two 12-pulse systems (2 converters, Treactor and 1 motor) to one 12-pulse transformer.
For more information, please see manual 12-pulse operation.

Y

This configuration is often used, if two motors have to share the
load half and half. They are mechanically fixed to each other via a
gearbox or any other device. The converters are fed by a 12-pulse
line transformer with separated secondary windings whose phase
positions differ by 30°el.
Each motor is connected to its own converter and field supply. The
converters exchange signals to make sure, that each motor takes half
of the load.
This configuration delivers the same advantages concerning harmonics to the network as a standard 12- pulse application (see next
item), but no T-reactor is needed.
Depending on the mechanical configuration commissioning personal needs some experience to adapt control accordingly.

Figure 3.1/1:

Standard drive configuration using an internal field

• Selection of components
For this wiring diagram a DCS 500B converter construction type C1 / C2 / A5 (for A7 types, please use diagram 3.3 or higher) was selected together with
a SDCS-FEX-1 or 2A field supply. This field supply can be used at line voltages up to 500V and will give field current up to 6 / 16A. For higher field currents,
use the next bigger field supply unit DCF 503A/4A (wiring is shown at 3.3/1) or a 3-phase supply DCF 500B (wiring is shown at 3.5/2).
• Power supply
There are several components, which need a power supply:
- Converter´s power part:
200 V to 1000 V, depending on converter type; see chapter 2
- Converter´s electronics power supply:
115V or 230V, selectable by jumper
- Converter cooling fan:
230V 1-ph; see Technical Data
- Power part field supply:
115 V to 500 V; together with an isolating / auto transformer up to 600 V; see chapter 2 and / or
Technical Data
- Motor cooling fan:
depending on motor manufacturer / local demands
- Relay logic:
depending on local demands
The fuses F1 are used because the converter construction type C1 and C2 don´t have them build in. All components, which can be fed by either 115/230 V
have been combined and will be supplied by one isolating transformer T2. All components are set to 230 V supply or selected for this voltage level. The different
consumers are fused separate. As long as T2 has the right tappings it can be connected to the power supply, used to feed the converter´s power part.
The same can be applied to the field supply circuit. There are two different types of matching transformers available. One can be used for supply voltages
up to 500 V, the other for voltages up to 690 V. Do not use the 690 V primary tapping together with the SDCS-FEX-1/2A field supply!
Depending on the motor fan voltage the power can be taken from the same source which is used for the converter´s power part.
In case the power for A, D and E should be taken from the source, used for C, a decision must be made, whether the fuses F1 can be used for two reasons
(protection of the power part + auxiliary power supply) or not.In addition it has to be checked, if the consumers can be supplied with this voltage wave form
(see chapter Line Chokes) before connecting to C. If the converter is supplied directly by a high-voltage converter transformer at point C, additional conditions
are to be considered during engineering of the drive (more details on request).

3ADW000066R0901_DCS500_System_description_e_i

• Control
The relay logic can be split into three parts:
a: Generation of the ON/OFF and START/STOP command:
The commands represented by K20 and K21 (latching interface relay) can be generated by a PLC and transferred to the terminals of the converter either
by relays, giving galvanic isolation or directly by using 24V signals. There is no absolute need to use hardwired signals. These commands can be
transferred via a serial link system too. Even a mixed solution can be realized by selecting the one or the other possibility for the one or the other signal.
b: Generation of control and monitoring signals:
The main power contactor K1 for the armature circuit is controlled by a dry contact located on the electronic power supply board. The status of this contactor
is checked by the converter via binary input 3. The field supply contactor K3 is controlled by the auxiliary contact K11 connected to a binary output of the
converter. The binary outputs consist of relay drivers, capable to give appr. 50 mA each and a current limitation of around 160 mA for all of the outputs.
The contactors K6 and K8 control the fans of the drive system. They are controlled by the auxiliary contact K10 (similar to K11). In series with K6 is an
auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker F6, which monitors the motor fan supply. For the converter fan supply monitoring the contact of the temperature
detector is used in series with K8. Auxiliary contacts K6 and K8 are used and connected to the binary inputs 1 and 2 to monitor the status of the fan supplies
by the converter. The function of K15 is described at the next point.
c: Stop mode beside ON/OFF and START/STOP:
This chapter tries to explain the reaction of the drive when the input named EMERGENCY_STOP (906) or COAST_STOP (905) is operated. Please take
the external wiring used for this explanation as an example only!
For EMERGENCY STOP different preconditions have to be taken into account. This description focus on the functionality and does not take special safety
conditions depending on the type of machine into account.
In this case, if emergency stop is hit, the information is transferred to the converter via binary input 5. The converter will act according to the function
programmed (stop by ramp, current limit or coasting). If the converter will not manage to get the drive to standstill within the time set at K15, the auxiliary
contact will switch off the control power. Because of this the main power contactors K1 and all the others will be switched off. This may result in failure
of components (see Operating Instructions). This danger can be minimized by adding another time delay (grey-shaded parts below). By doing so another
stop mode is available.
-

Emergency stop signal initializes the ramp down function
inside the converter in that way described before. If the
drive comes to standstill within the time specified by K15,
the converter will switch off the main power contactor K1.
If the converter doesn´t manage to get the drive to
standstill within this time, K15 will start the function
ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT with the time delay specified by K16. This information will be transferred to the
converter to a free binary input. This input has to be
connected to the COAST_STOP input of the drive logic.
The COAST_STOP input forces the current down to zero
as fast as possible. The delay time of K16 has to be
slightly higher than the time needed by the current controller to get the current to zero. When the time K16 has
elapsed the control voltage will be switched off and all
power contactors will drop off.

If no care should be taken to the speed of the drive the

d: Main contactor handling by the PLC only because of safety reasons:
This mode is not recommended to be used as a standard switch on or switch off sequence. Nevertheless it is sometimes used to fulfill safety regulations
or other needs. In such cases it´s recommended to follow the next guidelines:
- It´s assumed that the PLC´s contact is in serial with the K1 (underneath the terminals named X96: 1 and 2) or in serial with the auxillary contact of K16
or replaces this one
- Switching off the main power contactor in regenerative mode may result in failure of components (see Operating Instruction)
- The PLC generates the command “main contactor off”. Two types of contacts are needed:
- A pretriggered contact should then be connected to an unused binary input of the converter; this input has to be connected to the signal START_INHIBIT
(908). This will block the controllers, trying to get the current to zero and switch off the main contactor from the converter point of view (independent, if
the converter´s command is used or not).
- A normal contact can then handle the main contactor.
- Caused by the final timing alarms or error may be detected; they should be reset or bypassed (e.g. by the auto reclosing function
• Sequencing
When the ON command is given to the converter and there is no error signal active, the converter closes the fan, field and main contactor, checks the supply
voltage and the status of the contactors and without error messages, releases the regulators and starts waiting for the RUN command. When the RUN
command is given, the speed reference is released and speed control mode is active (for more details, see Software Description).

200 V to 500 V; see chapter 2 and / or Technical Data
- Motor cooling fan:
select the motor voltage acc. to the voltage used for the armature supply
- Relay logic:
select the components for 230 V!
This configuration is basically identical to the one shown at figure 3.1/1. Please check the sizing of F1 for the additional load like field and motor fan. All
components are either selected for 230V or set to 230V to be able to combine them and to supply them by an auxiliary power supply. The different consumers
are fused separately.
• Control and safety
The relay logic can be split into three parts:
a: Generation of the ON/OFF and START/STOP command:
same as figure 3.1/1
b: Generation of control and monitoring signals:
The main power contactor K1 is handled in the same way it was done at figure 3.1/1. The field and motor fan supply is picked up at the output of K1. So
all 3 consumers are controlled in the same way.
The fan monitoring is not taken into consideration. Because of this these parameter settings have to be made:
Connection (default)
must be changed to:
910 from 10701
10908
911 from 10703
10908
906 from 10709
12502
c: Stop mode beside ON/OFF and START/STOP:
Not taken into consideration!
• Sequencing
When the ON command is given to the converter and there is no error signal active, the converter closes the fan, field and main contactor, checks the supply
voltage and the status of the contactors and without an error messages, releases the regulators and starts waiting for the RUN command. When the RUN
command is given, the speed reference is released and speed control mode is active (for more details, see Software Description).

Figure 3.3/1:

Standard drive configuration using an external half-controlled field (1-ph)

• Selection of components
For this wiring diagram a DCS 500B converter was selected together with a DCF 503A/4A field supply. If a DCF 504A is used for field supply, field reversal
is possible. Then a DCS 501B (2-Q) for the armature supply is sufficient for low demanding drives. This field supply can be used at line voltages up to 500 V
and will give field current up to 50 A. For higher field currents, a 3-phase supply DCF 500B (wiring is shown at 3.5/2).
• Power supply
There are several components, which need a power supply:
- Converter´s power part:
200 V to 1000 V, depending on converter type; see chapter 2
- Converter´s electronics power supply:
115 V or 230 V, selected by jumper
- Converter cooling fan:
230 V 1-ph; 400 V / 690 V 3-ph. at A6/A7; see Technical Data
- Power part field supply:
115 V to 500 V; together with an isolating/auto transformer up to 690 V; s. chap. 2 and/or Technical Data
- Electronics supply of field unit:
115 V to 230 V
- Motor cooling fan:
depending on motor manufacturer / local demands
- Relay logic:
depending on local demands
This configuration is basically identical to the one shown at figure 3.1/1. In addition to figure 3.1/1 the field supply unit needs an electronic power supply, which
is separately fused and taken from the 230V level, generated by T2. This field controller is controlled via a serial link, connected to X16: at the armature
converter. The 690V primary tapping can be used together with this type of field supply!
In case the power for A, D and E should be taken from the source, used for C, a decision must be made, whether the fuses F1 can be used for two reasons
(protection of the power part + auxiliary power supply) or not. In addition it has to be checked, if the consumers can be supplied with this voltage wave form
(see chapter Line Chokes) before connecting to C.
• Control
The relay logic can be split into three parts as decribed in figure 3.1/1. Basically the logic shown at figure 3.2/1 could be used for this configuration. The size
of the drive and/or it´s value may be a criteria to select the logic according to figure 3.1/1 or to figure 3.2/1 or a combination of both.
* Recomendation: Keep the control of K3 as shown, if a DCF 504A field supply is used!
• Sequencing
same as figure 3.1/1

3.4 Standard configuration using a fully-controlled field (3-ph) without armature converter
The DCS 500B converter is used as a DCF 500B version in a non-motoric application. If the drive should be wired according to this example
or to the one shown at figure 3-2.1 it has to be decided depending on the application and it´s demands. The software structure has to be
adapted and is described within the Operating Manual.

Standard configuration using a fully-controlled field (3-ph) without armature converter

• Selection of components
For this wiring diagram a DCF 500B converter construction type C1 or C2 was selected together with a DCF 506 unit, which serves as an overvoltage
protection.
• Power supply
There are several components, which need a power supply:
- Converter´s power part:
200 V to 500 V, depending on converter type; see chapter 2
- Converters electronics power supply:
115 V or 230 V, selected by jumper
- Converter cooling fan:
230 V 1-ph at C1 + C2; see Technical Data
- Relay logic:
depending on local demands
Basically according to figure 3.1/1. If the converter is supplied directly by a high-voltage converter transformer at point C , make sure that the high voltage
switch is not opened, as long as field current flows. Additional conditions are to be considered during engineering of the drive (further information on request).
• Control
The relay logic can be split into three parts.
a: Generation of the ON/OFF and START/STOP command:
same as figure 3.1/1
b: Generation of control and monitoring signals:
Basically identical to figure 3.1/1.
Instead of the monitoring of the motor fan at binary input 2, which is not existing here but may exist as a cooling device for the inductance, the overvoltage protection DCF 506 is monitored by the same input. If any type of additional cooling device should be monitored extra function blocks can be
used.
c: Stop mode beside ON/OFF and START/STOP:
Basically identical to figure 3.1/1
In this case it may be much more important to focus on a reduction of the current than on something else. If so, select coasting at the parameter
EMESTOP_MODE.
• Sequencing
same as figure 3.1/1

Typical configuration for high power drives (armature unit DCS 500B)

• Selection of components
For this wiring diagram a DCS 500B converter construction type A6 or A7 was selected together with a 3-phase field supply. This field supply can be used
at line voltages up to 500 V and will give field current up to 540 A.
• Power supply
There are several components, which need a power supply:
- Armature converter´s power part:
200 V to 1000 V, depending on converter type; see chapter 2
- Field converter´s power part:
200 V to 500 V
- Converters electronics power supply:
115 V or 230 V, selected by jumper
- Converter cooling fan:
230V 1-ph at A5 (armature), C1 + C2 (field); 400 V / 690 V 3-ph. at A6/A7 (armature); see
Technical Data
- Motor cooling fan:
depending on motor manufacturer / local demands
- Relay logic:
depending on local demands
This configuration is basically identical to the one shown at figure 3.1/1. The converters in use here are much bigger than before. They are equipped with
fuses in the legs of the power part. That´s the reason F1 is drawn within the square of the power part. If additional fuses are needed between supply transformer
or not, has to be decided case by case. The field supply transformer T3 cannot be used for this configuration! See also power supply fig. 3.4/1 (fully-controlled
field).
In case the power for A, B, D and E should be taken from the source, used for C, a decision must be made, whether the fuses F1 can be used for two reasons
(protection of the power part + auxiliary power supply) or not. In addition it has to be checked, if the consumers can be supplied with this voltage wave form
(see chapter Line Chokes) before connecting to C.

Figure 3.5/2:

Typical configuration for high power drives (field unit DCF 500B)

• Control
The relay logic can be split into three parts. Basically the logic shown at figure 3.2/1 could be used for this configuration. Because of the size of the drive and
it´s value the logic shown is recommended:
a: Generation of the ON/OFF and START/STOP command:
same as figure 3.1/1
b: Generation of control and monitoring signals:
same as figure 3.1/1
Each converter is monitoring his main contactor and his fan supply by himself.
c: Stop mode beside ON/OFF and START/STOP:
same as figure 3.1/1
It is recommended to use the additional safety provided by the use of the ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT function at such type of drives.
• Sequencing
It is basically the same than the one described for figure 3.1/1. The 3-phase field exciter is equipped with much more detailed service functionallity compared
to the single phase types (SDCS-FEX-2A or DCF 503A/4A). Nevertheless from the control point of view (binary signals given to the armature converter) it
will act in exactly the same way as a single phase one!
When the ON command is given to the armature converter and there is no error signal active, the converter transfers this command via the serial link to the
field converter. Afterwards, each converter closes the fan and main contactor, checks the supply voltage and the status of the contactors and without any
error messages, releases the regulators. Then the same actions take place described at fig. 3.1/1.
In case the field unit records an error a common error signal is send to the armature converter. In parallel an error indication is displayed on the field unit´s
7-segment display and at its binary output, if programmed. The armature converter will indicate the field unit´s error message with F39 on its display. The
drive will be switched off by itself if it was running. The control system should then send a Reset command to the armature converter after having removed
the ON/OFF and RUN commands. The error message should no longer be shown. With a new start command the armature converter will at first send a Reset
command to the field converter. The field unit will then reset its error message, if the reason for it is no longer present. After that the field unit receives the
start command from the armature converter and will switch on its main contactor.
It's not necessary to exchange information like commands, actual values or error message within field converter and control system based on a serial link
like PROFIBUS or others. In case the more comfortable servicing capabilities of a 3-phase field unit should be used it´s no problem to do so either via hardware
(terminal row) or via a serial link.

Typical configuration for high power drives connected in 12-pulse parallel Master-Follower application

This wiring diagram can be used for 12-pulse parallel systems. It´s is based on the configuration shown at firgure 3.1/1, too. Such a
configuration can be done with two 25 A converters as well as with two 5200 A types. Most often this configuration is selected because of
the total power. That´s the reason why the wiring is already adapted to A5 (converter fan 1-phase) or A7 type converters. For the field supply,
please take the field wiring at figure 3.5/2. If a smaller type is used, pick up the part of interest shown at one of the figures before.

Figure 3.6/1:

Typical configuration for high power drives connected in 12-pulse parallel (MASTER)

• Selection of components
See remarks above.
• Power supply
There are several components, which need a power supply:
- Armature converter´s power part:
200 V to 1000 V, depending on converter type; see chapter 2
- Converters electronics power supply:
115 V or 230 V, selected by jumper
- Converter cooling fan:
230V 1-ph at C1 + C2, A5; 400 V / 690 V 3-ph. at A6/A7; see Technical Data
- Motor field supply:
see fig. 3.5/2
- Motor cooling fan:
depending on motor manufacturer / local demands
- Relay logic:
depending on local demands
This configuration is basically identical to the one shown at figure 3.5/1. The drive system is supplied by a 12-pulse transformer, which has got two secondary
windings with a phase shift of 30 degrees. In this case a decision has to be made, how the auxiliary voltage levels A, B, C, D=field and E are generated.
Attention has to be paid to the auxiliary voltage A:
- is the power of transformer T2 sufficient to supply all consumers? Consumers are electronics of all the converters, possibly fans of the two 12pulse converters and the field supply unit, main contactors, monitoring circuits, etc.
- is redundancy required, and/or flexibility to be able to operate master and follower independent of one another?
If necessary several auxiliary voltage levels (A, A', A'' etc.) should be constructed.
• Power supply (continuation)
Afterwards it has to be decided how the different consumers will be protected against any type of failure. If circuit breakers are used, take their interruption
capacity into account. Take the hints given before as a rough idea. See also power supply fig. 3.4/1 (fully-controlled field).

Figure 3.6/2:

K1.3

Typical configuration for high power drives connected in 12-pulse parallel (FOLLOWER)

• Control
The relay logic can be split into three parts. Basically the logic shown at figure 3.2/1 could be used for this configuration. Because of the size of the drive
and it´s value the logic shown is recommended:
a: Generation of the ON/OFF and START/STOP command:
same as figure 3.1/1
b: Generation of control and monitoring signals:
same as figure 3.1/1
Each converter is monitoring his main contactor and his fan supply by himself.
c: Stop mode beside ON/OFF and START/STOP:
same as figure 3.1/1
It is recommended to use the additional safety provided by the use of the ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT function at such type of drives.
• Sequencing
The circuit diagram is based on a permanent 12-pulse mode without any adaptation concerning redundancy and on one converter working as a Master and
taking care for the field control. All remarks given in chapter 3.5 can be applied to this configuration too. The converters exchange binary signals for bridge
reversal and for fast monitoring via the flat cable connection X18:. Analogue signals like current reference and actual current are exchanged via terminal row
X3: / X4:. Parameters at group 36 have to be set within Master and Slave converter to get the data exchange via flat cable connection X18: and connected
inputs / outputs working. Parameters to be set at group 1 and 2 within Master and Slave make sure the data exchange of current values analogue inputs
and outputs will take place. Additional information and a detailed parameter list are available within the manual Planning and Start-up for 12-pulse Power
Converters.
• Engineering hint
If the drive system has to be available in case of a failure redundancy is needed and basically possible! Basically errors and failures can happen to all
components any time, depending on the single component affected the result will have a different severity. Because of that errors and faults resulting in a
redundancy mode have to be specified at first. Errors and faults causing severe break down are found at the power supply / 12-pulse transformer, at the two
converters, supplying the armature, at the field supply unit, at the 12-pulse interphase reactor or at the motor. Precautions can be made to increase the
availability of the drive in case the load condition and the motor data allow to use the system with reduced power. This can be made for example by using
two transformers instead of one single 12-pulse transformer, by enabling 6-pulse mode at the converters (only one converter is switched on; the other is still
kept switched off), by a second installed field supply unit in case of hardware failures there or by enabling the field control done by either the one or the other
converter and by a possibility to bypass the 12-pulse interphase choke.

4 Overview of software (Version 21.2xx)
4.1 GAD Engineering-Program

The standard diagram of the DCS500 Software Structure is added to this chapter as folder.
In addition to all the function blocks presented there
(called "Standard Function Blocks") additional blocks
(called "Application blocks") are available, like ABSolute value, ADDer with 2 and 4 inputs, AND gates with
2 and 4 inputs, COMParators, CONVersion blocks,
COUNTer, DIVider, FILTer, FUNG (x-y function
generator, LIMiter, MULiplier, OR gates with 2 and 4
inputs, PARameter function block, PI controller, SR
memory, SUBtraction, XOR gates and others.
Both types are stored in the converter and delivered
with every converter. The application function blocks
as well as the standard function blocks are available as
a library in file format. This library serves as a basis for
your customized modifications.
As a library is always a copy of the one available within
the converter former libraries are automatically included in the latest one.
Commissioning and Maintenance Tools for DCS500
(Panel or DDC/CMT Tool) are able to connect or
disconnect function blocks and therefore can produce
customized software applications. Both these tools
however are not able to produce a documentation of the
Standard function block

changes in software other than in a table. Therefore
ABB offers another special tool to develop extended
software structures as drawings and deliver a data file
with these informations to be transferred into the drive
control section via the CMT Tool.
This tool is called GAD ( Graphical Application Designer). The GAD is for off-line use only and needs a
CMT tool to transfer the changed software structure
into the drive.
The GAD PC program features the following functions:
• application design and programming
• graphics editor for drawing and altering program
diagrams
• user-controlled document depiction
• compilation of the application file to be downloaded into the converter by using CMT tool
• compilation of the diagram file to be loaded into the
CMT tool window to see actual values on-line
System requirements / recommendation:
• min. 486 PC, 4 MB RAM, 40MB free hard disk
space
• operating system: Windows 3.x, 95, 98, NT, 2000
or XP
Application block

Fig. 4.1/1 Standard and Applications function blocks utilized with GAD

Please note:
For more information of the GAD PC program and the
library there are manuals available describing the possibilities and the handling of the program.

4.2 Introduction to the structure and handling

The entire software is made up of connected function
blocks. Each of these individual function blocks constitutes a subfunction of the overall functionality. The
function blocks can be subdivided into two categories:
• Function blocks which are permanently active, are
almost always in use; these are described on the
following pages.
• Function blocks which, although they are available
within the software as standard features, have to be
expressly activated when they are needed for special
requirements. These include, for example:
AND gates with 2 or 4 inputs,
OR gates with 2 or 4 inputs,
adders with 2 or 4 inputs,
multipliers/dividers, etc.
or closed-control-loop functions, such as
integrator,
PI controller,
D-T1 element, etc.
All function blocks are characterized by input and
output lines, equipped with numbers. These inputs/
outputs can likewise be subdivided into two categories:

When you want to alter connections between function
blocks, proceed as follows:
• first select the input
• and then connect to output
All those connections possessing one dot each at their
beginning and end can be altered.

and the (single-up-down) for the element or a PC-based
tool program CMT/DCS500B.

The following pages correspond to what you get
printed from the GAD tool with additional explanations based on software 21.233 which is identical with
software 21.234.

Please note:
The following pages describe the as-delivered wired functionality. If a desired signal or a certain function seems
to be missing, it can in most cases be implemented very easily:
• Either the desired signal does already exist, but - due
to its complexity - is not easy to describe, which is
why it appears in a signal listing given in the software
description.
• Or it can be generated with available signals and
additionally available function blocks.

• In addition to that please note that the functionality
described on the next pages is available a second time
for Motor Set 2. There are two parameter sets
(groups 1 to 24) available within the drive's memory.
• The values of the parameters are displayed in GADTool format.

Speed reference handling

Field current controller 1 and 2

The speed reference for the ramp function generator is formed by the REF SEL blocks, which
can be used to select the reference value required, the CONST REF block, which generates
a maximum of 4 permanently settable reference values, the SOFTPOT block, which reproduces the function of a motorpotentiometer in conjunction with the block RAMP
GENERATOR, or by the AI1 block (analogue input 1).
The RAMP GENERATOR block contains a ramp function generator with 2 ramp-up and
ramp-down ramps, 2 times for the S-curve, limitation for upper and lower limits, hold function
and the functions for ”Follow” the speed reference or ”Follow” the speed feedback. There is a
special signal available for the treatment of acceleration and deceleration.
The REF SUM block enables the output of the ramp function generator and a user-definable
signal to be added.

Since a DCS power converter can control 2 field units, some of the function blocks are duplicated. This means that, depending on the mechanical configuration of the drives concerned,
you can control 2 motors either in parallel or alternatively. The requisite configuration of the
software structure can be generated by designing the blocks appropriately during the commissioning routine.
The MOTOR1 FIELD / MOTOR2 FIELD block reads in the field current reference value and
all values which are specific to the field supply unit, and transfers these to the field power
converter via an internal serial link; the field power converter is scaled to suit its hardware,
and performs field current regulation. The field current direction for motor 1 can be determined using binary commands, while for motor 2 it can be generated in the course of an
application upstream of the block concerned.
The MOTOR1 FIELD OPTIONS / MOTOR2 FIELD OPTIONS block controls the freewheeling function in the event of line undervoltage, and the field current reversal function with
field reversal drives (only for motor 1). In case of field reversal drives, there is an option for
selectively influencing the moment of armature-circuit and field current reduction and buildup.

Speed feedback calculation
This page depicts the conditioning routine for speed feedback and reference values. The
AITAC block is used to read in the speed feedback from an analogue tacho The SPEED
MEASUREMENT block processes the 3 possible feedback signals: analogue tacho, pulse
generator or the converter's output voltage (SPEED_ACT_EMF) - conditioned by the EMF
TO SPEED CALC block (if 2102=5 , no field weakening function possible). Parameters
are used for activating smoothing functions, selecting the feedback value and where applicable for setting the maximum speed. This parameter also serves for scaling the speed control
loop.
The SPEED MONITOR block contains motor stalled - and tacho monitoring function, and
compares a selected speed feedback value against overspeed, minimum speed and 2 settable thresholds.
The AO1 block represents a scalable analogue output.

Speed controller
The result is compared to the speed feedback from the SPEED MEASUREMENT block,
using the SPEED ERROR block, and then passed to the speed controller. This block permits
evaluation of the system deviation by means of a filter. Moreover, it is possible here to make
a few settings which are needed for the ”Window” operating mode. If the drive’s speed feedback is within a window around the reference value, then the speed controller is ”bypassed”
(provided ”Window Mode” has been activated; the drive is controlled by means of a torque
reference value at the TORQ REF HANDLING block). If the speed feedback is outside the
window, the speed controller will be activated, and will lead the drive’s actual speed back into
the window.
The SPEED CONTROL block contains the speed controller with P, I and DT1 contents. For
adaptation it receives a variable P-amplification.

Binary in and outputs (standard)
The DRIVE LOGIC block reads in various signals from the system via digital inputs DIx,
processes them, and generates commands, which are outputted to the system via digital
outputs DOx, e.g. for controlling the power converter’s line contactor, the field-circuit contactor or contactors for various fans, or for outputting status messages.

Additional binary inputs
The AI3 and AI4 blocks represent another 2 analogue inputs which have as yet not been
assigned to any particular functions. The blocks A15 and A16 represent another 2 additional
inputs which are only active, if the board SDCS-IOE1 is connected. Another 7 digital inputs DI
9 .. DI15 are available with this additional hardware.

Inputs and outputs for fieldbus
A fieldbus module with serial communicated references should be used, if analogue and
digital signals are not sufficient for the control of the drive (equipment for the installation of
Profibus, CS31, Modbus etc. is available). This type of module is activated by means of the
block FIELDBUS. The data transferred from the control to the converter are stored in the
blocks DATASET1 and DATASET3 as 16-bit-information. Depending on the application the
output pins of these blocks have to be connected to input pins of other blocks in order to
transport the message. The same procedure is valid for blocks DATASET2 and DATASET4,
if they are connected. These blocks are transmitting information from the converter to the
control system.

Torque / current limitation
The ”torque reference” generated by the speed controller is passed to the input of the
CURRENT CONTROL block via the TORQ REF HANDLING block, and there it is converted
into a current reference value and used for current regulation. The TORQUE / CURRENT
LIMITATION block is used for generating the various reference values and limitations; this
block contains the following functions: ”speed-dependent current limitation”, ”gear backlash
compensation”, ”generation of the values for static current limitation” and ”torque limitation”.
The values for the various limitations are used again at some other points, for instance at the
following blocks: SPEED CONTROL, TORQ REF HANDLING, TORQ REF SELECTION, and
CURRENT CONTROL.
The AI2 block (analogue input 2) is used for reading in an analogue signal.
The TORQ REF SELECTION block contains a limitation with upstream addition of two signals, one of which can be routed through a ramp function generator; the other signal’s
evaluation can be dynamically altered using a multiplier.
The TORQ REF HANDLING block determines the drive's operating mode. When in position
1, the speed control mode has been activated, whereas in position 2 it is torque control mode
(no closed-loop control since there is no "genuine" torque feedback available in the unit). In
both cases, the reference value required comes from outside. Positions 3 and 4 are a combination of the first two options stated above. Note that with position 3 the smaller value out of
external torque reference and speed controller output is passed to the current controller
whereas with position 4 it is the larger one. Position 5 uses both signals, corresponding to the
method of functioning of "Window Mode".

Armature current controller
The CURRENT CONTROL block contains the current controller with a P and I content, plus
an adaptation in the range of discontinuous current flow. This block also contains functions
for current-rise limitation, the conversion of torque reference value into current reference
value by means of the field crossover point, and some parameters describing the supply
mains, and the load circuit.
At applications with high inductive load and high dynamic performance a different hardware is
used to generate the signal current equal to zero. This hardware is selected by the
CURRENT MONITOR block. The functions monitoring the current can now be adapted to the
needs of the application. This gives easier handling and a higher degree of safety at high
performance drives, like test rigs.
The DCF mode can be activated via the block DCF FIELDMODE. The functionality within this
mode can be specified. If one of these functions is selected the current controller gets a
different characteristic, the overvoltage protection DCF 506 is monitored and the field current
reference via the X16: terminals is routed.

Line and motor data
The SETTINGS block serves for scaling all important signals, such as line voltage, motor
voltage, motor current and field current. Parameters are available to adjust the control to
special conditions like weak networks or interactions with harmonic filter systems. The language, in which you want to read your information on the panel, can be selected.
The AO2 block represents a scalable analogue output.

Motor voltage controller
The EMF CONTROL block contains the armature-circuit voltage controller (e.m.f. controller).
It is based on a parallel structure comprising a PI controller and a precontrol feature, generated with a characteristic of 1/x. The ratio between the two paths can be set. The output
variable of this block is the field current reference value, which is produced from the flux
reference value by another characteristic function using linearization. To enable the drive to
utilize a higher motor voltage even with a 4 quadrant system two different field weakening
points can be set by parameter.

Inputs and outputs for 12 pulse
The converter is able to be configurated in a 12-pulse parallel application. In this case you
need: two identical armature converters; one field supply unit; one T-reactor; communication
via ribbon cable connected to X 18 of both converters The 12-PULSE LOGIC must be activated and guarantees a synchronous control of the MASTER and the SLAVE drive.

Maintenance
The MAINTENANCE block provides reference values and test conditions so as to enable all
controllers to be adjusted in the power converter. If the panel is used as a meter in the cubicle
door, an assortment of signals can be defined here.

Monitoring
The CONVERTER PROTECTION block monitors the armature circuit for overvoltage and
overcurrent, and monitors the mains for undervoltage. It provides an option for reading in the
total current of the 3 phases through an additional external sensor and monitoring it for "not
equal to zero". Adaptations are made for rebuild applications, which keep the power part and
the fan, to sense overload conditions or fan failures.
The MOTOR1 PROTECTION block, in its upper part, evaluates either the signal from an
analogue temperature sensor, or from a Klixon. In its lower part, it computes motor heat-up
with the aid of the current feedback value and a motor model, after which a message is
outputted.
The MOTOR2 PROTECTION block works in the same way as the MOTOR1 PROTECTION
block, but without Klixon evaluation.

User event
By using the block USER EVENT1 to USER EVENT6 six different messages are created,
which are displayed as faults or alarms on the panel CDP312 as well as on the 7 segment
display of the converter.

Brake control
The BRAKE CONTROL block generates all signals needed for controlling a mechanical
brake.

Data logger
The block DATA LOGGER is able to record up to six signals. The values of these signals will
be stored in a battery buffered RAM and are still available after a break down of the supply
voltage. The time of recording can be influenced by a trigger signal, as well as the number of
recorded values before and after the trigger signal. The function DATA LOGGER can be set
with both panel and PC tool. For evaluation of the recorded values a PC tool is recommended.

Additional signals
By using the block FAULT HANDLING the faults and alarms of the drive are regrouped as 16bit information. The CONSTANTS and FREE SIGNALS blocks can be used for setting limitations or special test conditions.

Speed controller

The result is compared to the speed feedback from the SPEED MEASUREMENT block,
using the SPEED ERROR block, and then passed to the speed controller. This block permits
evaluation of the system deviation by means of a filter. Moreover, it is possible here to make
a few settings which are needed for the ”Window” operating mode. If the drive’s speed feedback is within a window around the reference value, then the speed controller is ”bypassed”
(provided ”Window Mode” has been activated; the drive is controlled by means of a torque
reference value at the TORQ REF HANDLING block). If the speed feedback is outside the
window, the speed controller will be activated, and will lead the drive’s actual speed back into
the window.
The SPEED CONTROL block contains the speed controller with P, I and DT1 contents. For
adaptation it receives a variable P-amplification.

The ”torque reference” generated by the speed controller is passed to the input of the
CURRENT CONTROL block via the TORQ REF HANDLING block, and there it is converted
into a current reference value and used for current regulation. The TORQUE / CURRENT
LIMITATION block is used for generating the various reference values and limitations; this
block contains the following functions: ”speed-dependent current limitation”, ”gear backlash
compensation”, ”generation of the values for static current limitation” and ”torque limitation”.
The values for the various limitations are used again at some other points, for instance at the
following blocks: SPEED CONTROL, TORQ REF HANDLING, TORQ REF SELECTION, and
CURRENT CONTROL.
The AI2 block (analogue input 2) is used for reading in an analogue signal.
The TORQ REF SELECTION block contains a limitation with upstream addition of two signals, one of which can be routed through a ramp function generator; the other signal’s
evaluation can be dynamically altered using a multiplier.
The TORQ REF HANDLING block determines the drive's operating mode. When in position
1, the speed control mode has been activated, whereas in position 2 it is torque control mode
(no closed-loop control since there is no "genuine" torque feedback available in the unit). In
both cases, the reference value required comes from outside. Positions 3 and 4 are a combination of the first two options stated above. Note that with position 3 the smaller value out of
external torque reference and speed controller output is passed to the current controller
whereas with position 4 it is the larger one. Position 5 uses both signals, corresponding to the
method of functioning of "Window Mode".

Binary in and outputs (standard)
The DRIVE LOGIC block reads in various signals from the system via digital inputs DIx,
processes them, and generates commands, which are outputted to the system via digital
outputs DOx, e.g. for controlling the power converter’s line contactor, the field-circuit contactor or contactors for various fans, or for outputting status messages.

Additional binary inputs
The AI3 and AI4 blocks represent another 2 analogue inputs which have as yet not been
assigned to any particular functions. The blocks A15 and A16 represent another 2 additional
inputs which are only active, if the board SDCS-IOE1 is connected. Another 7 digital inputs DI
9 .. DI15 are available with this additional hardware.

Inputs and outputs for fieldbus
A fieldbus module with serial communicated references should be used, if analogue and
digital signals are not sufficient for the control of the drive (equipment for the installation of
Profibus, CS31, Modbus etc. is available). This type of module is activated by means of the
block FIELDBUS. The data transferred from the control to the converter are stored in the
blocks DATASET1 and DATASET3 as 16-bit-information. Depending on the application the
output pins of these blocks have to be connected to input pins of other blocks in order to
transport the message. The same procedure is valid for blocks DATASET2 and DATASET4,
if they are connected. These blocks are transmitting information from the converter to the
control system.

Torque / current limitation

TYPE
1123 TEXT

1124

Since a DCS power converter can control 2 field units, some of the function blocks are duplicated. This means that, depending on the mechanical configuration of the drives concerned,
you can control 2 motors either in parallel or alternatively. The requisite configuration of the
software structure can be generated by designing the blocks appropriately during the commissioning routine.
The MOTOR1 FIELD / MOTOR2 FIELD block reads in the field current reference value and
all values which are specific to the field supply unit, and transfers these to the field power
converter via an internal serial link; the field power converter is scaled to suit its hardware,
and performs field current regulation. The field current direction for motor 1 can be determined using binary commands, while for motor 2 it can be generated in the course of an
application upstream of the block concerned.
The MOTOR1 FIELD OPTIONS / MOTOR2 FIELD OPTIONS block controls the freewheeling function in the event of line undervoltage, and the field current reversal function with
field reversal drives (only for motor 1). In case of field reversal drives, there is an option for
selectively influencing the moment of armature-circuit and field current reduction and buildup.

This page depicts the conditioning routine for speed feedback and reference values. The
AITAC block is used to read in the speed feedback from an analogue tacho The SPEED
MEASUREMENT block processes the 3 possible feedback signals: analogue tacho, pulse
generator or the converter's output voltage (SPEED_ACT_EMF) - conditioned by the EMF
TO SPEED CALC block (if 2102=5 , no field weakening function possible). Parameters
are used for activating smoothing functions, selecting the feedback value and where applicable for setting the maximum speed. This parameter also serves for scaling the speed control
loop.
The SPEED MONITOR block contains motor stalled - and tacho monitoring function, and
compares a selected speed feedback value against overspeed, minimum speed and 2 settable thresholds.
The AO1 block represents a scalable analogue output.

Field current controller 1 and 2

The speed reference for the ramp function generator is formed by the REF SEL blocks, which
can be used to select the reference value required, the CONST REF block, which generates
a maximum of 4 permanently settable reference values, the SOFTPOT block, which reproduces the function of a motorpotentiometer in conjunction with the block RAMP
GENERATOR, or by the AI1 block (analogue input 1).
The RAMP GENERATOR block contains a ramp function generator with 2 ramp-up and
ramp-down ramps, 2 times for the S-curve, limitation for upper and lower limits, hold function
and the functions for ”Follow” the speed reference or ”Follow” the speed feedback. There is a
special signal available for the treatment of acceleration and deceleration.
The REF SUM block enables the output of the ramp function generator and a user-definable
signal to be added.

Armature current controller
The CURRENT CONTROL block contains the current controller with a P and I content, plus
an adaptation in the range of discontinuous current flow. This block also contains functions
for current-rise limitation, the conversion of torque reference value into current reference
value by means of the field crossover point, and some parameters describing the supply
mains, and the load circuit.
At applications with high inductive load and high dynamic performance a different hardware is
used to generate the signal current equal to zero. This hardware is selected by the
CURRENT MONITOR block. The functions monitoring the current can now be adapted to the
needs of the application. This gives easier handling and a higher degree of safety at high
performance drives, like test rigs.
The DCF mode can be activated via the block DCF FIELDMODE. The functionality within this
mode can be specified. If one of these functions is selected the current controller gets a
different characteristic, the overvoltage protection DCF 506 is monitored and the field current
reference via the X16: terminals is routed.

Line and motor data
The SETTINGS block serves for scaling all important signals, such as line voltage, motor
voltage, motor current and field current. Parameters are available to adjust the control to
special conditions like weak networks or interactions with harmonic filter systems. The language, in which you want to read your information on the panel, can be selected.
The AO2 block represents a scalable analogue output.

Motor voltage controller

11104

The EMF CONTROL block contains the armature-circuit voltage controller (e.m.f. controller).
It is based on a parallel structure comprising a PI controller and a precontrol feature, generated with a characteristic of 1/x. The ratio between the two paths can be set. The output
variable of this block is the field current reference value, which is produced from the flux
reference value by another characteristic function using linearization. To enable the drive to
utilize a higher motor voltage even with a 4 quadrant system two different field weakening
points can be set by parameter.

Inputs and outputs for 12 pulse
The converter is able to be configurated in a 12-pulse parallel application. In this case you
need: two identical armature converters; one field supply unit; one T-reactor; communication
via ribbon cable connected to X 18 of both converters The 12-PULSE LOGIC must be activated and guarantees a synchronous control of the MASTER and the SLAVE drive.

Maintenance
The MAINTENANCE block provides reference values and test conditions so as to enable all
controllers to be adjusted in the power converter. If the panel is used as a meter in the cubicle
door, an assortment of signals can be defined here.

Monitoring
The CONVERTER PROTECTION block monitors the armature circuit for overvoltage and
overcurrent, and monitors the mains for undervoltage. It provides an option for reading in the
total current of the 3 phases through an additional external sensor and monitoring it for "not
equal to zero". Adaptations are made for rebuild applications, which keep the power part and
the fan, to sense overload conditions or fan failures.
The MOTOR1 PROTECTION block, in its upper part, evaluates either the signal from an
analogue temperature sensor, or from a Klixon. In its lower part, it computes motor heat-up
with the aid of the current feedback value and a motor model, after which a message is
outputted.
The MOTOR2 PROTECTION block works in the same way as the MOTOR1 PROTECTION
block, but without Klixon evaluation.

User event
By using the block USER EVENT1 to USER EVENT6 six different messages are created,
which are displayed as faults or alarms on the panel CDP312 as well as on the 7 segment
display of the converter.

Brake control
The BRAKE CONTROL block generates all signals needed for controlling a mechanical
brake.

Data logger
The block DATA LOGGER is able to record up to six signals. The values of these signals will
be stored in a battery buffered RAM and are still available after a break down of the supply
voltage. The time of recording can be influenced by a trigger signal, as well as the number of
recorded values before and after the trigger signal. The function DATA LOGGER can be set
with both panel and PC tool. For evaluation of the recorded values a PC tool is recommended.

Additional signals
By using the block FAULT HANDLING the faults and alarms of the drive are regrouped as 16bit information. The CONSTANTS and FREE SIGNALS blocks can be used for setting limitations or special test conditions.

Since a DCS power converter can control 2 field units, some of the function blocks are duplicated. This means that, depending on the mechanical configuration of the drives concerned,
you can control 2 motors either in parallel or alternatively. The requisite configuration of the
software structure can be generated by designing the blocks appropriately during the commissioning routine.
The MOTOR1 FIELD / MOTOR2 FIELD block reads in the field current reference value and
all values which are specific to the field supply unit, and transfers these to the field power
converter via an internal serial link; the field power converter is scaled to suit its hardware,
and performs field current regulation. The field current direction for motor 1 can be determined using binary commands, while for motor 2 it can be generated in the course of an
application upstream of the block concerned.
The MOTOR1 FIELD OPTIONS / MOTOR2 FIELD OPTIONS block controls the freewheeling function in the event of line undervoltage, and the field current reversal function with
field reversal drives (only for motor 1). In case of field reversal drives, there is an option for
selectively influencing the moment of armature-circuit and field current reduction and buildup.

This page depicts the conditioning routine for speed feedback and reference values. The
AITAC block is used to read in the speed feedback from an analogue tacho The SPEED
MEASUREMENT block processes the 3 possible feedback signals: analogue tacho, pulse
generator or the converter's output voltage (SPEED_ACT_EMF) - conditioned by the EMF
TO SPEED CALC block (if 2102=5 , no field weakening function possible). Parameters
are used for activating smoothing functions, selecting the feedback value and where applicable for setting the maximum speed. This parameter also serves for scaling the speed control
loop.
The SPEED MONITOR block contains motor stalled - and tacho monitoring function, and
compares a selected speed feedback value against overspeed, minimum speed and 2 settable thresholds.
The AO1 block represents a scalable analogue output.

The result is compared to the speed feedback from the SPEED MEASUREMENT block,
using the SPEED ERROR block, and then passed to the speed controller. This block permits
evaluation of the system deviation by means of a filter. Moreover, it is possible here to make
a few settings which are needed for the ”Window” operating mode. If the drive’s speed feedback is within a window around the reference value, then the speed controller is ”bypassed”
(provided ”Window Mode” has been activated; the drive is controlled by means of a torque
reference value at the TORQ REF HANDLING block). If the speed feedback is outside the
window, the speed controller will be activated, and will lead the drive’s actual speed back into
the window.
The SPEED CONTROL block contains the speed controller with P, I and DT1 contents. For
adaptation it receives a variable P-amplification.

The ”torque reference” generated by the speed controller is passed to the input of the
CURRENT CONTROL block via the TORQ REF HANDLING block, and there it is converted
into a current reference value and used for current regulation. The TORQUE / CURRENT
LIMITATION block is used for generating the various reference values and limitations; this
block contains the following functions: ”speed-dependent current limitation”, ”gear backlash
compensation”, ”generation of the values for static current limitation” and ”torque limitation”.
The values for the various limitations are used again at some other points, for instance at the
following blocks: SPEED CONTROL, TORQ REF HANDLING, TORQ REF SELECTION, and
CURRENT CONTROL.
The AI2 block (analogue input 2) is used for reading in an analogue signal.
The TORQ REF SELECTION block contains a limitation with upstream addition of two signals, one of which can be routed through a ramp function generator; the other signal’s
evaluation can be dynamically altered using a multiplier.
The TORQ REF HANDLING block determines the drive's operating mode. When in position
1, the speed control mode has been activated, whereas in position 2 it is torque control mode
(no closed-loop control since there is no "genuine" torque feedback available in the unit). In
both cases, the reference value required comes from outside. Positions 3 and 4 are a combination of the first two options stated above. Note that with position 3 the smaller value out of
external torque reference and speed controller output is passed to the current controller
whereas with position 4 it is the larger one. Position 5 uses both signals, corresponding to the
method of functioning of "Window Mode".

The CURRENT CONTROL block contains the current controller with a P and I content, plus
an adaptation in the range of discontinuous current flow. This block also contains functions
for current-rise limitation, the conversion of torque reference value into current reference
value by means of the field crossover point, and some parameters describing the supply
mains, and the load circuit.
At applications with high inductive load and high dynamic performance a different hardware is
used to generate the signal current equal to zero. This hardware is selected by the
CURRENT MONITOR block. The functions monitoring the current can now be adapted to the
needs of the application. This gives easier handling and a higher degree of safety at high
performance drives, like test rigs.
The DCF mode can be activated via the block DCF FIELDMODE. The functionality within this
mode can be specified. If one of these functions is selected the current controller gets a
different characteristic, the overvoltage protection DCF 506 is monitored and the field current
reference via the X16: terminals is routed.

Field current controller 1 and 2

The speed reference for the ramp function generator is formed by the REF SEL blocks, which
can be used to select the reference value required, the CONST REF block, which generates
a maximum of 4 permanently settable reference values, the SOFTPOT block, which reproduces the function of a motorpotentiometer in conjunction with the block RAMP
GENERATOR, or by the AI1 block (analogue input 1).
The RAMP GENERATOR block contains a ramp function generator with 2 ramp-up and
ramp-down ramps, 2 times for the S-curve, limitation for upper and lower limits, hold function
and the functions for ”Follow” the speed reference or ”Follow” the speed feedback. There is a
special signal available for the treatment of acceleration and deceleration.
The REF SUM block enables the output of the ramp function generator and a user-definable
signal to be added.

Binary in and outputs (standard)
The DRIVE LOGIC block reads in various signals from the system via digital inputs DIx,
processes them, and generates commands, which are outputted to the system via digital
outputs DOx, e.g. for controlling the power converter’s line contactor, the field-circuit contactor or contactors for various fans, or for outputting status messages.

Additional binary inputs
The AI3 and AI4 blocks represent another 2 analogue inputs which have as yet not been
assigned to any particular functions. The blocks A15 and A16 represent another 2 additional
inputs which are only active, if the board SDCS-IOE1 is connected. Another 7 digital inputs DI
9 .. DI15 are available with this additional hardware.

Inputs and outputs for fieldbus
A fieldbus module with serial communicated references should be used, if analogue and
digital signals are not sufficient for the control of the drive (equipment for the installation of
Profibus, CS31, Modbus etc. is available). This type of module is activated by means of the
block FIELDBUS. The data transferred from the control to the converter are stored in the
blocks DATASET1 and DATASET3 as 16-bit-information. Depending on the application the
output pins of these blocks have to be connected to input pins of other blocks in order to
transport the message. The same procedure is valid for blocks DATASET2 and DATASET4,
if they are connected. These blocks are transmitting information from the converter to the
control system.

The SETTINGS block serves for scaling all important signals, such as line voltage, motor
voltage, motor current and field current. Parameters are available to adjust the control to
special conditions like weak networks or interactions with harmonic filter systems. The language, in which you want to read your information on the panel, can be selected.
The AO2 block represents a scalable analogue output.

Motor voltage controller
The EMF CONTROL block contains the armature-circuit voltage controller (e.m.f. controller).
It is based on a parallel structure comprising a PI controller and a precontrol feature, generated with a characteristic of 1/x. The ratio between the two paths can be set. The output
variable of this block is the field current reference value, which is produced from the flux
reference value by another characteristic function using linearization. To enable the drive to
utilize a higher motor voltage even with a 4 quadrant system two different field weakening
points can be set by parameter.

Inputs and outputs for 12 pulse
The converter is able to be configurated in a 12-pulse parallel application. In this case you
need: two identical armature converters; one field supply unit; one T-reactor; communication
via ribbon cable connected to X 18 of both converters The 12-PULSE LOGIC must be activated and guarantees a synchronous control of the MASTER and the SLAVE drive.

Maintenance
The MAINTENANCE block provides reference values and test conditions so as to enable all
controllers to be adjusted in the power converter. If the panel is used as a meter in the cubicle
door, an assortment of signals can be defined here.

Monitoring
The CONVERTER PROTECTION block monitors the armature circuit for overvoltage and
overcurrent, and monitors the mains for undervoltage. It provides an option for reading in the
total current of the 3 phases through an additional external sensor and monitoring it for "not
equal to zero". Adaptations are made for rebuild applications, which keep the power part and
the fan, to sense overload conditions or fan failures.
The MOTOR1 PROTECTION block, in its upper part, evaluates either the signal from an
analogue temperature sensor, or from a Klixon. In its lower part, it computes motor heat-up
with the aid of the current feedback value and a motor model, after which a message is
outputted.
The MOTOR2 PROTECTION block works in the same way as the MOTOR1 PROTECTION
block, but without Klixon evaluation.

User event
By using the block USER EVENT1 to USER EVENT6 six different messages are created,
which are displayed as faults or alarms on the panel CDP312 as well as on the 7 segment
display of the converter.

Brake control
The BRAKE CONTROL block generates all signals needed for controlling a mechanical
brake.

Data logger
The block DATA LOGGER is able to record up to six signals. The values of these signals will
be stored in a battery buffered RAM and are still available after a break down of the supply
voltage. The time of recording can be influenced by a trigger signal, as well as the number of
recorded values before and after the trigger signal. The function DATA LOGGER can be set
with both panel and PC tool. For evaluation of the recorded values a PC tool is recommended.

Additional signals
By using the block FAULT HANDLING the faults and alarms of the drive are regrouped as 16bit information. The CONSTANTS and FREE SIGNALS blocks can be used for setting limitations or special test conditions.
