FC101 Design Guide

1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose of the Design Guide
This design guide is intended for project and systems
engineers, design consultants, and application and product
specialists. Technical information is provided to understand
the capabilities of the frequency converter for integration
into motor control and monitoring systems. Details
concerning operation, requirements, and recommendations
for system integration are described. Information is proved
for input power characteristics, output for motor control,
and ambient operating conditions for the frequency
converter.
Also included are:
•
Safety features.
•
Fault condition monitoring.
•
Operational status reporting.
•
Serial communication capabilities.
•
Programmable options and features.
Also provided are design details such as:
•
Site requirements.
•
Cables.
•
Fuses.
•
Control wiring.
•
Unit sizes and weights.
•
Other critical information necessary to plan for
system integration.
Reviewing the detailed product information in the design
stage enables developing a well-conceived system with
optimal functionality and
eciency.

Table 1.1 Document and Software Version
From software version 4.0x and later (production week 33
2017 and after), the variable speed heat sink cooling fan
function is implemented in the frequency converter for
power sizes 22 kW (30 hp) 400 V IP20 and below, and 18.5
kW (25 hp) 400 V IP54 and below. This function requires
software and hardware updates and introduces restrictions
with regards to backwards compatibility for H1–H5 and I2–
I4 enclosure sizes. Refer to Table 1.2 for the limitations.
