Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ProfiNet control card field-replaceable?

Yes, the control card architecture in the FC-360 series allows for modular maintenance, though it requires precise ESD handling procedures and firmware synchronization to ensure compatibility with the main drive processor.

Can this unit be used in environments with high vibration?

The unit is designed for industrial cabinet installation. While the internal components are robust, it is recommended to mount the drive on vibration-dampening rails if the installation environment exceeds standard IEC vibration specifications.

Does the integrated Brake Chopper require an external resistor?

Yes, the internal brake chopper manages the switching logic, but a compatible external braking resistor must be sized and connected to the DC bus terminals to dissipate the regenerated energy.

How do I troubleshoot an A2 RFI filter warning?

Check the grounding integrity of the cabinet and ensure the motor cable shielding is terminated according to EMC standards (360-degree connection to the drive chassis).

Engineering Guidelines and Installation Best Practices

• Thermal Management: Given the IP20 enclosure, ensure the cabinet provides adequate forced-air ventilation. Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm above and below the unit to allow for unimpeded heat dissipation. Operating above 45 deg C may require de-rating of the output current.
• Shielding and Grounding: To comply with electromagnetic compatibility standards, always use shielded motor cables. The cable shield must be bonded to the drive chassis using metal cable glands or clamps, ensuring a low-impedance high-frequency connection. Never bundle power cables with sensitive signal lines (e.g., ProfiNet or analog feedback cables).
• Loadsharing Configuration: When utilizing the Loadsharing (D) feature, ensure that all drives connected to the DC bus are operating on the same DC potential. Verify that the DC bus voltage levels are equalized before closing the contactor between units to prevent high-current inrush that could damage the internal diodes.
