Power Converter Modules

Enclosure Rating
The DCS800-S0x power converter module carries a NEMA
TYPE OPEN (IP00) rating and must be mounted in a protective
enclosure. There are seven different frame sizes, D1 through D7,
graduated in terms of current and voltage.
Regenerative and Non-Regenerative Drives
Non-regenerative (2-Q) power converter modules are used when
motor torque and speed are always in the same direction and
when significant stopping power is not required.
This is ideal for applications such as:
−−
−−
−−
−−

Fan or blower
Mixer
Pump
Extruder

Voltage Selection
The output voltage of the drive depends on the incoming AC
line voltage and whether a 2-Q or 4-Q drive is selected. The
table below shows the maximum output voltage that will result
for various input voltages for both the 2-Q and 4-Q drives.
DC voltage

It is not possible for a 2-Q drive to slow down an inertial load.
The load will stop only due to friction, windage, or another form
of load resistance. It is also not possible for a non-regenerative
drive to reverse direction unless field reversal is used.

DCS800 Rebuild and Upgrade Kits

The DCS800-R Rebuild or Upgrade Kit from ABB allows you to
update the controls on your existing DC drive and continue to
utilize the existing power section.
ABB, with the help of our channel partners, can make your
existing drive look and act like a new DCS800 drive. Gain the
benefits of having the latest motor control technology and
high speed serial connectivity without having to replace the
power section. This is an engineered solution which can have
significant cost advantages over complete drive replacement,
especially on large systems.
General Purpose Rebuild Kit
The DC800-R Rebuild Kit is recommended for thyristor-based
power sections that are:
−−
−−
−−
−−

500 horsepower (800 Amps) and above
Originally manufactured by ABB or another drive company
Regenerative (4-quadrant) or non-regenerative (2-quadrant)
From 1, up to 4 parallel bridges

In order to determine if your existing drive can be rebuilt,
consider the following:
− − Is the power section healthy?
Replacing the controls usually does not reduce the
occurrence of blown fuses or over-current faults. These
conditions commonly indicate that there is a malfunction
in the power section. Carefully consider the benefits of
upgrading compared to replacing with a full drive with a
brand new warranty.
− − What data is available on the existing power section?
An accurate, up-to-date schematic is essential. The
schematic needs to include any changes that occurred over
the years.
− − Is there space to mount the retrofit components?
A panel layout diagram, along with visual inspection of the
panel is needed.
− − Are there any special features in the existing controller?
The DCS800 has functions to run most any application but
it is important to be sure that the new controller has the
functionality of the existing controller, or if other modifications
will be required.

How it Works
A modern drive can be subdivided into two major sections, the
power section and the controller. The power section transfers
a measured amount of voltage and current from the incoming
lines to the motor. The computer-based controller controls the
power section, along with several other functions. The rebuild/
upgrade kit replaces the existing controller with a DCS800
controller.
In addition to controlling the power section, the DCS800-R will
also provide user interface (via keypad or DriveWindow Light)
and encoder and/or tachometer interface, if present. After the
drive is rebuilt, the complete drive system will operate like a
DCS800, which may include communicating with your PLC
via Ethernet, ControlNet, etc, receiving signals from switches,
push-buttons and pots, and sending signals to lamps and
meters.

DCS800-R Rebuild Kit

DCS500 to DCS800 Upgrade Kit
The DCS800-R Upgrade Kit is specifically designed to upgrade
the controls of existing DCS500 drives.

Adaptive Programs are easy to document as hard copies are store
as PC files. All related information is saved directly to the drive by
parameter.

Commissioning Macros

DCS800 Macros
The DCS800 includes macros that cover the most frequent
parameter settings. Macros are pre-programmed parameter
sub-sets. During start-up, the drive can be configured easily
without the need to change many individual parameters by using
a macro. The functions of inputs, outputs, and many allocations
in the control structure are set up with the selection of a macro.
Twelve (12) macros are available, plus the factory default
macro. The program also allows you to switch between macros
with ease. Except for a few special cases, motor and tuning
parameters will be maintained when switching from one macro
to another.

The macro will define:
− − whether the drive is speed-controlled or torque-controlled
−− if two-wire (maintained) or three-wire (pulsed) motor-on inputs
are being used
−− if a DC contactor is being used
−− the type of control that is needed (standard, constant speed,
hand/motor-pot, etc.)
−− the source of the command (digital and analog inputs and
outputs or via high-speed-serial link)
−− which actual values are available at the analog outputs

The selections include the following macros:
Macro

Description

Factory

Resets all parameters to default values.

Standard

The Drive turns on with a maintained input. Motion is commanded with digital inputs (DI) RUN, JOG1, or
JOG2. Run speed is set with an analog input. Jog speeds are set to preset levels.

Manual / Constant
Speed

Run speed is set with an analog input, but if one of two digital inputs is set, speed is changed to preset
levels. Control is by way of 3-wire control (pulsed inputs).

Hand / Auto

A digital input switches between Hand (Local I/O) and Auto mode, and also switches speed reference. In
Hand mode, speed is set with an analog input; in Auto mode, speed and motor control are set over a highspeed network, usually by a PLC. Manual control is 2-wire.

Hand / Motor Pot

A digital input switches speed reference from an analog input to Motor Pot. In Motor Pot mode, one digital
input (MOTOR POT UP) increases speed and another (MOTOR POT DOWN) decreases speed. Control is
3-wire.

Motor Pot

Speed is always controlled through the MOTOR POT -UP and -DOWN digital inputs. Motor pot minimum
speed can be released by setting a digital input to allow MOTOR POT DOWN to reduce speed to zero.
Control is 2-wire.

Torque Control

A digital input switches between Speed and Torque control mode. While in Torque mode, an analog input
is used as reference; while in Speed mode, speed is set to a preset level. A digital output can control a DC
circuit breaker. Control is 2-wire.

Torque Limit

This macro is the same as “Standard,” except a second analog input determines torque limit.

3-Wire Standard

Run speed is set with analog input, but if DI-1 is set, speed is changed to preset level. The drive turns on
and runs with pulsed RUN digital input. It turns off with clearing of the STOP input. (3-wire control).

2-Wire DC
Contactor US

This macro is the same as “Standard” except it also sets up the drive to control a DC contactor with a
digital output. A DC contactor acknowledge input is required.

3-Wire DC Contactor US

This macro is the same as “3-Wire Standard” except it also sets up the drive to control a DC contactor
with a digital output. A DC contactor acknowledge input is required.

User 1 and 2

The user is allowed to record the current set of parameters as one of two “User Macros” and restore the
drive to one of these sets. Restoration is done by setting or clearing a digital input or by sending a signal
over a high-speed serial link. This is handy if, for example, the machine setup changes (i.e., making snow
throwers half the season, and lawn mowers the other half) or if changing a drive from being a master to
being a follower, etc.

3-Wire Jog

For Flexpak3000 replacements. DI5 switches between Manual (AI1) and Auto (AI2) speed reference. Jog
input (DI3) initiates motion and reverses with DI4. Control is 3-wire.

DCS800 Firmware

DCS800 Basic Firmware
DCS800 firmware includes the basic function of speed control,
armature current, field current and voltage. The flexible design
for command location enables fieldbus control, master-follower
control, control from hardware signals as well as a mixed
structure. The design of drive logic enables a drive reaction
defined by Profibus standard but can also be configured to
adapt classic command structures.

Master-Follower Applications
Drives connected in Master-Follower application
When motors run on a common shaft or other belted or
mechanical connection, and run with the same speed or torque,
use the master/follower configuration.

Feedback Options

Feedback Options
The DCS800 can be configured to work with a variety of
feedback options to monitor motor and line speed. Together
with the standard interface, the drive can read up to one
tachometer and two encoders simultaneously. Resolvers can be
used in place of encoders. “Encoderless” operation, using motor
EMF as feedback, is also possible and an excellent choice in
many applications.
Tachometer
The drive has a tachometer interface as standard for
tachometers with maximum voltages of 8 to 270 Vdc. For AC
tachometers with rectifiers, the drive has a filter to smooth out
the signal going to the drive.
Pulse Encoders
The drive also has one encoder interface as standard, to
operate with single-ended and differential pulse encoders. The
non-isolated interface works with 5Vdc and 24Vdc devices, and
also 12Vdc devices for drives over 1000 Amps (D5 and over).
A second pulse encoder interface (non-isolated) can be used
with the addition of one of the RTAC pulse encoder interface
adapters. The RTAC-03 is used for TTL encoders; the RTAC01 is used for other types. To add an isolated pulse encoder
interface, the IOB-03 can be used. The IOB-03 is separately
mounted on DIN rail.

Resolvers
Two options are available for resolver interface. The first option
is for applications where the resolver is primarily used as a
positioning device, a lifting table, for example. In this case, the
RRIA-01 resolver interface adapter can be used. The RSCM-01
can also be used to double the resolver voltage to adapt it to the
working range of RRIA-01.
+L516 Resolver interface adapter

Resolver signal conditioning mod. (RSCM-01)
When speed control is required, or whenever a premium interface
is desired, the FEN-21 resolver interface adapter should be used.
The FEN-21 provides an ultra-smooth speed feedback signal
for optimal speed control. The FEN-21 is mounted to a DIN-rail
extension adapter (FEA-01) which converts the feedback to a
fiber optic signal and transmits it to the drive’s COM-81 or COM82 module. (Fiber optic cable and external 24Vdc supply also
required.)

Communication Options
Fieldbus Control
DCS800 DC Drives have connectivity to major automation
systems. This is achieved with a dedicated gateway concept
between the fieldbus systems and ABB drives.
The fieldbus gateway module can easily be mounted inside the
drive. As a result of the wide range of fieldbus gateways, your
choice of automation system is independent from your decision
to use first-class ABB drives.
Manufacturing flexibility
Drive control
The drive control word (16 bit) provides a wide variety of
functions from start, stop and reset to ramp generator control.
Typical setpoint values like speed, torque and position can be
transmitted to the drive with 15 bit accuracy.
Drive monitoring
A set of drive parameters and/or actual signals, like torque,
speed, position, current etc., can be selected for cyclic data
transfer providing fast data for operators and the manufacturing
process.
Drive diagnostics
Accurate and reliable diagnostic information can be obtained via
the drive alarm, limit and fault words, reducing the drive down
time and, therefore, the downtime of the manufacturing process.

Reduced installation and engineering effort
Cabling
Substituting the large amount of conventional drive control cabling
with a single twisted pair reduces costs and increases system
reliability.
Design
The use of fieldbus control reduces engineering time at installation
because of the modular structure of the hardware
and software.
Commissioning and assembly
The modular machine configuration allows pre-commissioning of
single machine sections and provides easy and fast assembly of
the complete installation.

External Field Supply

General Data

Field Supply Types

For single-phase operation, we recommend integrating an auto
transformer in the field power converter’s supply circuit to adjust
the AC input voltage to the field voltage and to reduce the
voltage ripple in the field circuit.
All field converters are controlled by the armature converter via
a serial interface (SDCS-DSL-4 board). This interface serves
to set-up, control and diagnose the field converter and thus
provides an option for exact control.
Reactor for Field supply on the D5 Drive:
The D5 drive with plus code +S164 has internal field supply
FEX425-INT. This field supply should be seperately powered and
requires its own line reactor as identified below.

− − Three-phase or single-phase operation
− − Full-wave half-controlled thyristor/diode bridge
− − Microprocessor control, with the electronic system being
supplied by the armature-circuit converter (24 V)
− − Construction and components have been designed for an
insulation voltage of 600 Vac
− − Fast-response excitation is possible with an appropriate
voltage reserve; de-excitation takes place by field time
constant
− − Field Output voltage UA (single-phase operation):

(

UA ≤ Uv * 100% + TOL * 0.9

100%

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

− − Recommendation (single-phase operation):
U A= 0.6 to 0.8 * UV or UV = 1.25 to 1.7 * UA
− − Field Output voltage UA (three-phase operation):

(

The three-phase field power converter causes less voltage
stress on the motor over the single-phase field converter. This is
because rectifying three-phase power provides a smoother DC
voltage.

DCF803-0016, DCF803-0035 and FEX425

− − Currents from 0.3 to 520 A
− − Minimum field current monitor
−− Integrated external field power converter or completely
separate switchgear cubicle

D1, D2, D3, and D4, with rated currents up to 1000 Amps,
require external AC line fuses. Recommendations are shown
below. Frame sizes D5, D6, and D7, with rated currents of 900
to 5200 Amps, have semiconductor fuses installed internally. No
additional external semiconductor line fuses are needed.

DC Fuses
DC fuses between the drive and the motor are required for
regenerative (4-quadrant) converters. This is to protect the
drive in the possible event of an inversion fault. When needed,
DC fuses should be the same size and type as AC line fuses.
DCS800 drives frames D5 – D7 include thyristor branch fuses
which can protect the motor during a commutation (inversion)
fault but thyristor or motor damage could still result. Use DC
fuses or a high speed DC breaker for complete protection,
especially for motors that regenerate routinely and on large
motor drive systems.

Control Builder

Programming Tool
Control Builder is an optional, user-friendly tool for programming
the DCS800 based on the IEC61131-3 standard. With Control
Builder, it is possible to develop application programs directly
in the drive quickly and easily, programs that customize the
application, decentralize control, add additional interlocks,
and much more. Control Builder offers a clear and easy way to
develop, test and document your application programs.

Upload and Download
Application programs can be uploaded from connected drives
and displayed graphically on a PC screen for service and
documentation purposes. Online debugging functions include
single-step, single-cycle, and breakpoint modes. An event
triggered recording tool for variables and signals is also available.
Programs made off-line can be downloaded to any of the
connected drives that support them.

Control Builder consists of the following:

Three Operating Modes
Control Builder can be used to program the drive in three
different ways:

− − CoDeSys programming software for the PC
− − Compact flash memory card
− − Expanded library of functions
CoDeSys: a PC software tool for creating, documenting,
editing and downloading your custom application program. No
special programming skills are required. CoDeSys supports
all five programming languages of IEC61131-3 Additionally, a
Continuous Function Chart option is included. This makes it
possible for you to program the drive in whatever language you
are most comfortable with. CoDeSys is included as standard
with every DCS800 on the DCS800 Tools CD.
Compact flash memory card: The application program is
stored on a compact flash memory card (MC) which is plugged
into the drive. MC memory is sufficient to store a program
made up of hundreds of functions. The MC is optional. One is
required for each drive using Control Builder.
Expanded library of functions: More than 100 types of
functions are available including strings, timers, counters,
and triggers, in addition to math and conversion functions.
Various pre-configured functions are also included such as a
PID-controller and a winder. User defined functions can also
be created and saved. The library is included as standard with
every DCS800 on the DCS800 Tools CD.

− − Standalone mode – CoDeSys is not connected to the drive.
The application program can be written in the office and later
downloaded to the drive.
− − Off-line mode – CoDeSys is connected to the drive. Changes
can be made to the application program without any affect on
the drive until the program is downloaded.
− − On-line mode – CoDeSys is connected to the drive. Changes to
the application program are written immediately to the drive and
actual values are shown on the screen in real-time.
Advantages and Features
−− Easy-to-use tool, no special skills required
− − Create and download custom programs
− − Automatic documentation
− − Can eliminate the need for an external PLC
− − The application, including source code, is always part of the
drive and thus, can be maintained during the whole life cycle of
the machine
− − The source code can be password protected against
unauthorized access
If 16 or fewer function blocks are required, you may be able to use
Adaptive Programming instead, which is standard on all DCS800
drives. See page 10.

ABB DCS800 Technical Catalog 29

DriveSize
Quality Dimensioning
DriveSize is a PC program to help the user select the optimal
converter and options, especially in those cases where a
straightforward selection from a catalog is not possible.
Additionally, it can be used to create printed documents about
the dimensioning based on actual load.
The default values make DriveSize simple to use, but the user
is provided with many options for drive selection. The shortcut
keys make drive selection easy while still honoring the relatively
complicated rules. A manual selection mode is also supported.
DriveSize is currently used by more than 1000 engineers
globally.

DriveOPC
Integration Tool
DriveOPC is a software package which allows OLE for Process
Control (OPC) communication between Windows applications
and DCS800 DC drives. It allows Object Linking and Embedding
(OLE) for Process Control (OPC) communication. This OPC
server is an ideal tool for integrating DCS800 DC drives with
commercial PC software and creating PC-based controlling and
monitoring systems.

DriveBrowser
DriveBrowser allows parameter upload/download, editing and
saving, monitoring up to four (4) signals from a single drive. Unique
connections to networks of drives can be configured and saved.
The user can assign user friendly names to each drive and save
the network set-up for future connectivity.

Remote Monitoring
DriveOPC enables remote connection via LAN (local area
networks). The remote PC can be connected by its IP address
(e.g. “164.12.43.33”) or by the DNS name (e.g. “Gitas213”).

DriveBrowser supports connection to the DCS800 drive using
these fieldbus adapters:

OPC Based Software
OPC is an industry standard created in cooperation with
Microsoft. It is an open architecture interface design, managed
by the international OPC foundation. OPC is meant for different
kinds of factory automation.

Remote monitoring tool
Ethernet module
Browser-Based, User-Friendly
The intelligent Ethernet NETA-01 module gives simple access
to the drive by means of the Internet communicating via a
standard web browser. The user can set up a virtual monitoring
room wherever there is a PC with an Internet connection or
via a simple dial-up modem connection. This enables remote
monitoring, configuration, diagnostics and, when needed,
control. The drive can also provide process related information,
such as load level, run time, energy consumption and I/O data,
the bearing temperature of the driven machine, for instance.

Powerful and Versatile
Up to nine drives can be connected to the intelligent Ethernet
module via fiber optic links. It is available as an option for new
drives, as well as an upgrade for existing systems. Access to the
module is secured by user ID and passwords.

This opens new possibilities for the monitoring and maintenance
of unmanned applications across a range of industries, for
instance water, wind power, building services and oil & gas,
as well as any application where the user needs access to
the drives from more than one location. It also provides an
opportunity for OEMs and system integrators to support their
installed base globally.

Features
− − Virtual monitoring room for
− − Monitoring
− − Configuration of parameters
− − Diagnostics
− − Control, if needed
− − Browser based access via
− − Intra-/extra-/Internet or
− − Email Client
− − Event Notification
− − Drives status update
− − No PC needed at the local end
− − Can be used as a Modbus/TCP bridge for control purpose

No PC Needed at Local End
The intelligent Ethernet module has an embedded server with
the necessary software for the user interface, communication
and data storage. This gives ease of access, realtime
information and the possibility for two-way communication with
the drive, enabling immediate response and actions, saving time
and money. This is possible without using a PC at the local end,
as required by other remote solutions.

The web page of the module is opened like any other web
address. The home page shows a general overview of the system
with traffic lights and action buttons to guide the user through the
different sections.
