)

Before commencing the installation

• Disconnect the power supply of the device.

• Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted.

• Verify isolation from the supply.

• Earth and short circuit the device.

• Cover or enclose any adjacent live components.

• Follow the engineering instructions (AWA/IL) for the

device concerned.

• Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with

EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this

device/system.

• Before installation and before touching the device ensure

that you are free of electrostatic charge.

• The functional earth (FE, PES) must be connected to the

protective earth (PE) or the potential equalisation. The

system installer is responsible for implementing this

connection.

• Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so

that inductive or capacitive interference does not impair

the automation functions.

• Install automation devices and related operating elements

in such a way that they are well protected against

unintentional operation.

• Suitable safety hardware and software measures should

be implemented for the I/O interface so that an open

circuit on the signal side does not result in undefined

states in the automation devices.

• Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the extra-low

voltage of the 24 V supply. Only use power supply units

complying with IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or

HD384.4.41 S2.

• Deviations of the mains voltage from the rated value must

not exceed the tolerance limits given in the specifications,

otherwise this may cause malfunction and dangerous

operation.

• Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60204-1

must be effective in all operating modes of the automation

devices. Unlatching the emergency-stop devices must not

cause a restart.

• Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or

control cabinets must only be operated and controlled

after they have been installed and with the housing

closed. Desktop or portable units must only be operated

and controlled in enclosed housings.

• Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of

programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This

should not cause dangerous operating states even for a

short time. If necessary, emergency-stop devices should

be implemented.

• Wherever faults in the automation system may cause

injury or material damage, external measures must be

implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the event

of a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of

separate limit switches, mechanical interlocks etc.).

• Depending on their degree of protection, frequency

inverters may contain live bright metal parts, moving or

rotating components or hot surfaces during and

immediately after operation.

• Removal of the required covers, improper installation or

incorrect operation of motor or frequency inverter may

cause the failure of the device and may lead to serious

injury or damage.

• The applicable national accident prevention and safety

regulations apply to all work carried on live frequency

inverters.

• The electrical installation must be carried out in

accordance with the relevant regulations (e. g. with

regard to cable cross sections, fuses, PE).

• Transport, installation, commissioning and maintenance

work must be carried out only by qualified personnel

(IEC 60364, HD 384 and national occupational safety

regulations).

• Installations containing frequency inverters must be

provided with additional monitoring and protective

devices in accordance with the applicable safety

regulations. Modifications to the frequency inverters

using the operating software are permitted.

• All covers and doors must be kept closed during

operation.

• To reduce the hazards for people or equipment, the user

must include in the machine design measures that restrict

the consequences of a malfunction or failure of the drive

(increased motor speed or sudden standstill of motor).

These measures include:

– Other independent devices for monitoring safety-

related variables (speed, travel, end positions etc.).

– Electrical or non-electrical system-wide measures

(electrical or mechanical interlocks).

– Never touch live parts or cable connections of the

frequency inverter after it has been disconnected from

the power supply. Due to the charge in the capacitors,

these parts may still be live after disconnection. Fit

appropriate warning signs.

DANGER – CONTROL FAILURE

When engineering your control diagram, make sure to take all

potential control path faults into account.

When it comes to critical control functions, make sure that a

safe state can be reached after a control path fails. –

Critical control function examples include:

• Emergency shutdown (emergency stop),

• Overtravel stop

• Power supply failure

• Restart.

Provide separate or redundant control paths.

Make sure that system control paths include communication

connections.

Take the effect of unforeseen transmission delays and

connection problems into account.

Carefully and individually test every implementation of a product

before putting it into operation.

Observe all general accident prevention and local safety

regulations.

Information for the USA:

For more information, please refer to the latest issue of

NEMA ICS 1.1, “Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation,

and Maintenance of Solid State Control,” and the latest issue of

NEMA ICS 7.1, “Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for

Selection, Installation, and Operation of Adjustable-Speed Drive

Systems.”

In addition to property damage, failure to observe the

above instructions may result in serious bodily injury or

even death.

2 Modbus RTU

2.1 General

Modbus is a centrally polled bus system in which a so-called master (PLC)

controls the entire data transfer on the bus. Internode communication

between the individual modules (slaves) is not possible.

Every single data transfer operation is initiated by the master with a request.

Only one request can be sent on the cable at a time.

Slaves are not able to initiate transfers, and are only able to respond to

requests.

Two types of dialog are possible between master and slave:

• The master sends a request to a slave and waits for a response.

• The master sends a request to all slaves and does not wait for a

response (broadcast).

Figure 2 shows a typical setup with a host computer (master) and any

number (a maximum of 63 nodes) of variable frequency drives (slaves).

Each variable frequency drive has a unique address on the network.

Addresses are assigned

each

variable frequency drive individually with the

use of a system parameter and are independent of the drive's physical

connection (position) within the network.

The aforementioned system parameter used to assign addresses is:

• P5-01 for DA1 variable frequency drive,

• P-36 for DC1 variable frequency drive,

• P-34 for DE1 variable speed starter.

A DX-CBL-RJ45… connection cable with an RJ45 connector needs to be

used in order to establish communications between the master and slave

②.

If multiple slaves are being used, they need to be connected in parallel using

DX-SPL-RJ45… splitters ①.

A bus termination resistor is required at the last module on the Modbus line

③.

2.3 RJ 45 interface

Modbus RTU for variable frequency drive DA1, DC1, DE1 09/16 MN040018EN www.eaton.com 11

2.3 RJ 45 interface

The master and slave communicate with each other via RJ45 cables.

If multiple slaves are being used, they need to be connected in parallel using

RJ45 cables and splitters.

The integrated RJ45 port (COM port) in DA1 and DC1 variable frequency

drives and DE1 variable speed starters supports the Modbus RTU protocol,

allowing for a direct network connection without the need for an additional

interface module.

A bus termination resistor with a resistance of 120 Ω needs to be connected

at each physical end (last node) of the network cable in order to prevent

signal reflection and the associated transmission errors.

EASY-NT-R resistors can be plugged into the corresponding splitter.
