Safety 15  
Safety in installation and maintenance  
These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive, motor cable or  
motor.  
Electrical safety  
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or  
death, or damage to the equipment.  
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain the drive!  
Be sure the system is properly earthed/grounded before applying power. Do  
not apply AC or DC power before earths/grounds are connected.  
Never work on the drive, motor cable or motor when input power is applied.  
After disconnecting the input power, always wait for 5 minutes to let the  
intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the  
drive, motor or motor cable. Always ensure by measuring with a multimeter  
(impedance at least 1 MΩ) that:  
1. Voltage between drive input phases L1, L2 and L3 is close to 0 V.  
2. Voltage between terminals UDC+ and UDC- and the frame is close to 0 V.  
3. There is no voltage between terminals R+ and R- and the ground.  
Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the drive or to  
the external control circuits. Externally supplied control circuits may cause  
dangerous voltages inside the drive even when the main power on the drive  
is switched off.  
Do not make any insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive.  
Do not connect the drive to a voltage higher than that marked on the type  
designation label. Higher voltage can activate the brake chopper and lead to  
brake resistor overload, or activate the over-voltage controller which can  
lead to the motor rushing to maximum speed.  
If a drive is installed on a corner-grounded TN system, the drive could be  
damaged.  
All ELV (extra low voltage) circuits connected to the drive must be used  
within a zone of equipotential bonding, i.e. within a zone where all  
simultaneously accessible conductive parts are electrically connected to  
prevent hazardous voltages appearing between them. This is accomplished  
by proper factory grounding.  
To prevent equipment damage, be certain that input and output signals are  
powered and referenced correctly.  
To ensure reliable performance of this equipment be certain that all signals  
to/from the drive are shielded correctly.  
Do not tin (solder) exposed wires. Solder contracts over time and can cause  
loose connections. Use crimp connections where possible.  
     
16 Safety  
If the drive is subjected to high potential (‘hipot') testing, only DC voltages  
may be applied. AC voltage hipot tests could damage the drive. For further  
information please contact your local ABB representative.  
The safe integration of the drive into a machine system is the responsibility  
of the machine designer. Be sure to comply with the local safety  
requirements at the place where the machine is to be used. In Europe these  
are the Machinery Directive, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and  
the Low Voltage Directive. In the United States this is the National Electrical  
code and local codes.  
To comply with CE directive 2014/13/EU an appropriate AC filter must be  
installed.  
Motor overtemperature sensing is required to satisfy UL 61800-5-1. The  
drive has no provisions for motor overtemperature protection, so external  
provisions are required. The motor thermistor connection must be isolated  
(see page 62).  
The AC supply, DC supply (if used) and the 24 V DC control circuit supply  
must be fused.  
The 24 V DC control circuit supply must be installed so that the 24 V DC  
supplied to the unit is isolated from the AC supply using double or  
reinforced insulation, or by using basic insulation with a protective earth.  
The input of the control circuit must be limited to Safety Extra Low Voltage  
circuits.  
For UL installations use 75 °C copper wiring only.  
For UL installations: Integral solid state short circuit protection does not  
provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be  
provided in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any additional  
local codes.  
For use in Canada: Transient surge suppression shall be installed on the line  
side of this equipment and shall be rated 240V (phase to ground), 240V  
(phase to phase), suitable for overvoltage category III, and shall provide  
protection for a rated impulse withstand voltage peak of 2.5kV.  
Note:  
The motor cable terminals on the drive are at a dangerously high voltage  
when the input power is on, regardless of whether the motor is running or  
not.  
The DC terminals (UDC+, UDC-) carry a dangerous DC voltage that is  
approximately 1.4 times the AC supply voltage, e.g. 336 V DC when operating  
on a 240 V AC supply.  
The Safe Torque Off function does not remove the voltage from the main  
and auxiliary circuits. The function is ineffective against deliberate sabotage  
or misuse. See page 203.  
Safety 17  
Grounding  
These instructions are intended for all who are responsible for the grounding of  
the drive.  
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or  
death, increased electromagnetic interference and equipment  
malfunction:  
Ground the drive, motor and adjoining equipment to ensure personnel  
safety in all circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and  
interference.  
Make sure that grounding conductors are adequately sized as required by  
safety regulations.  
In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to protective  
earth (PE).  
Where EMC emissions must be minimized, make a 360° high frequency  
grounding of cable entries in order to suppress electromagnetic  
disturbances. In addition, connect the cable shields to protective earth (PE)  
in order to meet safety regulations.  
Notes:  
Power cable shields are suitable for equipment grounding conductors only  
when adequately sized to meet safety regulations.  
Standard EN 61800-5-1 (section 4.3.5.5.2.) requires that as the normal touch  
current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC, you must use a  
fixed protective earth connection and:  
2
- cross-section of the protective earthing conductor of at least 10 mm Cu  
2
or 16 mm Al, or  
- automatic disconnection of the supply in case of discontinuity of the  
protective earthing conductor, or  
- a second protective earthing conductor of the same cross-sectional area  
as the original protective earthing conductor.  
 
18 Safety  
Permanent magnet motor drives  
These are additional warnings concerning permanent magnet motor drives.  
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or  
death, increased electromagnetic interference and equipment  
malfunction.  
Do not work on the drive when the permanent magnet motor is rotating.  
Also, when the supply power is switched off and the inverter is stopped, a  
rotating permanent magnet motor feeds power to the intermediate circuit  
of the drive and the supply connections become live.  
Before installation and maintenance work on the drive:  
- Stop the motor.  
- Ensure that there is no voltage on the drive power terminals according to  
step 1 or 2, or if possible, according to both steps:  
1. Disconnect the motor from the drive with a safety switch or by other  
means. Check by measuring that there is no voltage present on the drive  
input or output terminals (L1, L2, L3, U, V, W, R+/UDC+, UDC-, R-).  
2. Ensure that the motor cannot rotate during work. Make sure that no other  
system, like hydraulic crawling drives, is able to rotate the motor directly or  
through any mechanical connection like felt, nip, rope, etc. Check by  
measuring that there is no voltage present on the drive input or output  
terminals (L1, L2, L3, U, V, W, R+/UDC+, UDC-, R-). Ground the drive output  
terminals temporarily by connecting them together as well as to the PE.  
Do not run the motor over the rated speed. Motor over-speed leads to over-  
voltage which may damage or explode the capacitors in the intermediate  
circuit of the drive.  
 
Safety 19  
General safety  
These instructions are intended for all who install and service the drive.  
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or  
death, increased electromagnetic interference and equipment  
malfunction:  
Handle the unit carefully.  
Take care when lifting. When carrying, do not suspend the unit from the  
front panel as it could detach and cause the unit to be dropped.  
Beware of hot surfaces. The metal heat sink on the left side of the  
MicroFlex e190 can become very hot during normal operation. The surfaces  
of drive system components (such as a mains choke or braking resistor, if  
present) become hot when the system is in use, and remain hot for a while  
after disconnection of the electrical supply. A brake resistor can generate  
enough heat to ignite combustible materials. To avoid fire hazard, keep all  
combustible materials and flammable vapors away from brake resistors.  
Ensure that debris from drilling and grinding does not enter the drive when  
installing. Electrically conductive debris inside the unit may cause damage or  
malfunction.  
Drives must be installed inside an electrical cabinet that provides  
environmental control and protection. Installation information for the drive  
is provided in this manual. Motors and controlling devices that connect to  
the drive should have specifications compatible with the drive. If not  
installed in an electrical cabinet, barriers around the equipment are required.  
Avoid locating the drive immediately above or beside heat generating  
equipment, directly below water or steam pipes, or in the vicinity of  
corrosive substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.  
Ensure sufficient cooling.  
Do not attach the drive by riveting or welding.  
The MicroFlex e190 must be installed where the pollution degree according  
to UL and EN 61800-5-1 shall not exceed 2.  
Printed circuit boards  
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause damage to the  
printed circuit boards and/or void the warranty:  
Wear a grounding wrist band when handling the boards. Do not touch the  
boards unnecessarily. The printed circuit boards contain components  
sensitive to electrostatic discharge.  
   
20 Safety  
Safe start-up and operation  
General safety  
These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation of the drive or  
operate the drive.  
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or  
death, or damage to the equipment.  
After changing or maintaining the fan, make sure that the bottom cover is  
correctly attached before connecting voltage to the drive. Keep the bottom  
cover attached during operation.  
Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure that the  
motor and all driven equipment are suitable for operation throughout the  
speed range provided by the drive. The drive can be adjusted to operate the  
motor at speeds above and below the speed provided by connecting the  
motor directly to the power line.  
Do not activate any automatic fault reset functions of the drive control  
program if dangerous situations can occur. When activated, these functions  
will reset the drive and resume operation after a fault.  
Do not control the motor with an AC contactor or disconnecting device  
(disconnecting means); instead, use external commands via fieldbus or the  
I/O of the drive. The maximum allowed number of charging cycles of the DC  
capacitors (i.e. power-ups by applying power) is one per two minutes.  
Make sure that any safety circuits (for example, emergency stop and Safe  
torque off) are validated in start-up. See chapter Start-up for reference of the  
validation instructions.  
The drive is not field repairable. Never attempt to repair a malfunctioning  
drive; contact your local ABB representative or Authorized Service Center for  
replacement.  
When operating a rotary motor with no load coupled to its shaft, remove the  
shaft key to prevent it flying out when the shaft rotates.  
Operating the MicroFlex e190 in torque mode with no load attached to the  
motor can cause the motor to accelerate rapidly to excessive speed.  
Improper operation or programming of the drive may cause violent motion  
of the motor and driven equipment. Be certain that unexpected motor  
movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Peak  
torque of several times the rated motor torque can occur during control  
failure.  
Violent jamming (stopping) of the motor during operation may damage the  
motor and drive.  
   
Safety 21  
The drive can be programmed to start up and begin to turn the motor (auto-  
enable) immediately after an input voltage break or a fault reset. If an  
external source for start command is selected and it is ON, the drive could  
start immediately after an input voltage break or fault reset.  
MEDICAL DEVICE / PACEMAKER DANGER: Magnetic and electromagnetic  
fields in the vicinity of current carrying conductors and industrial motors can  
result in a serious health hazard to persons with cardiac pacemakers,  
internal cardiac defibrillators, neurostimulators, metal implants, cochlear  
implants, hearing aids, and other medical devices. To avoid risk, stay away  
from the area surrounding a motor and its current carrying conductors.

Memory unit - MU  
The memory unit defines the identity and features of the drive,  
and holds the drive’s firmware and saved parameters. The  
memory unit holds the Mint program on models with  
programming capability. The memory unit is an essential part  
of the drive and must always be fitted. It is not designed for  
frequent removal and insertion.  
All power to the drive must be turned off before removing or  
inserting the memory unit.  
The memory unit can be inserted into an identical replacement  
drive. If the replacement drive does not have an identical  
specification, it must be re-tuned before using the memory unit to the drive.  
Retuning the drive using Mint Workbench allows the correct tuning parameters  
to be saved in the memory unit.  
The memory unit can be used only with MicroFlex e190 drives. It is not  
compatible with any other product that uses a similar unit, e.g. ZMU-02. The  
MicroFlex e190 memory unit can be identified by the part MFE190-MU-  
OCU+N8020 on the label and provide motion programming capability.  
The older drive is not provided with the MFE190-MU-OCU+N8020 (order code:  
3AXD50000048603) memory unit. Contact your local supplier for details.

Technical data). Consider this when installing heat-generating components  
(such as other drives and braking resistors) nearby.  
The drawing below shows two typical cabinet cooling solutions. The air inlet is  
at the bottom of the cabinet, while the outlet is at the top.

Arrange the cooling of the drives so that the requirements given in chapter  
Technical data are met:  
Cooling air flow. Note that the values in Technical data apply to continuous  
nominal load. If the load is less than nominal, less cooling air is required.  
Allowed ambient temperature.  
Make sure the air inlets and outlets are sufficient in size. Note that in addition to  
the power loss of the drive, the heat dissipated by cables and other additional  
equipment must also be ventilated.  
The internal cooling fans of the drives are usually sufficient to keep the  
component temperatures low enough in IP22 cabinets.  
In IP54 cabinets, thick filter mats are used to prevent water splashes from  
entering the cabinet. This entails the installation of additional cooling  
equipment, such as a hot air exhaust fan.  
The installation site must be sufficiently ventilated.  
40 Mechanical installation  
Disposition of the devices  
For easy installation and maintenance, a spacious layout is recommended.  
Sufficient cooling air flow, obligatory clearances, cables and cable support  
structures all require space.  
For layout examples, see section Cooling and degrees of protection.  
Preventing the recirculation of hot air  
Air baffle plates  
COOL AREA  
Airflow in  
Outside the cabinet  
Prevent hot air circulation outside the cabinet by leading the outgoing hot air  
away from the area where the inlet air to the cabinet is taken. Possible solutions  
are listed below:  
gratings that guide air flow at the air inlet and outlet  
air inlet and outlet at different sides of the cabinet  
cool air inlet in the lower part of the front door and an extra exhaust fan on  
the roof of the cabinet.  
Inside the cabinet  
Prevent hot air circulation inside the cabinet with leak-proof air baffle plates. No  
gaskets are usually required.  
   
Mechanical installation 41  
Grounding of mounting structures  
Make sure all cross-members or shelves on which drive system components are  
mounted are properly grounded and the connecting surfaces left unpainted.  
Notes:  
Ensure that the components are properly grounded through their fastening  
points to the installation base. It is recommended that the mains filter (if  
present) and the drive be mounted on the same mounting plate.  
Cabinet heaters  
Use a cabinet heater if there is a risk of condensation in the cabinet. Although  
the primary function of the heater is to keep the air dry, it may also be required  
for heating at low temperatures. When placing the heater, follow the  
instructions provided by its manufacturer.  
Installation procedure  
Requirements for the installation site  
The drive must be installed in an upright position with the mounting plate  
against a wall. MicroFlex e190 drives can be installed tightly side by side. Make  
sure that the installation site complies with these requirements:  
The installation site has sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating of the  
drive.  
The operation conditions of the drive agree with the specifications in  
The wall is vertical, not flammable and strong enough to hold the weight of  
the drive. See Dimensions and weights (page 169).  
The material below the installation is not flammable.  
There is enough free space above and below the drive for cooling air flow,  
service and maintenance. There is enough free space in front of the drive for  
operation, service and maintenance.  
Required tools  
Slot screwdrivers for the screw type connectors.  
A drill and screws or bolts for mounting the MicroFlex e190.  
Wire stripper.  
For UL installations, use UL listed closed loop connectors that are of  
appropriate size for the wire gauge being used.  
Connectors are to be installed using only the crimp tool specified by the  
manufacturer of the connector.  
           
42 Mechanical installation  
Direct wall mounting  
1. Mark the locations for the two holes. The mounting points are shown in Main  
dimensions on page 37.  
2. Fix the screws or bolts to the marked locations.  
3. Position the drive onto the screws on the wall. Note: Only lift the drive by its  
chassis.

Planning the electrical  
installation  
What this chapter contains  
This chapter contains the instructions that you must follow when selecting the  
motor, cables, protections, cable routing and way of operation for the drive. If  
the recommendations given by ABB are not followed, the drive may experience  
problems that the warranty does not cover.  
Note: The installation must always be designed and made according to  
applicable local laws and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability  
whatsoever for any installation which breaches the local laws and/or other  
regulations.  
Motor selection  
Select the (3-phase AC induction) motor according to the rating table in the  
chapter Technical data. The table lists the typical motor power for each drive  
type.  
Only one permanent magnet synchronous motor can be connected to the  
inverter output. It is recommended to install a safety switch between the  
permanent magnet motor and the drive output in order to isolate the motor  
from the drive during maintenance work on the drive.  
Supply connection  
Use a fixed connection to the AC power line or DC supply. Alternatively, the drive  
can be powered from a suitable fixed DC supply.  
         
44 Planning the electrical installation  
WARNING! As the leakage current of the device typically exceeds 3.5 mA, a  
fixed installation is required according to EN 61800-5-1.  
Supply disconnecting device  
Install a hand-operated input disconnecting device (disconnecting means)  
between the AC power source and the drive. The disconnecting device must be  
of a type that can be locked to the open position for installation and  
maintenance work.  
Europe:  
If the drive is used in an application which must meet the European Union  
Machinery Directive according to standard EN 60204-1 Safety of Machinery, the  
disconnecting device must be one of the following types:  
a switch-disconnector of utilization category AC-23B (EN 60947-3)  
a disconnector that has an auxiliary contact that in all cases causes  
switching devices to break the load circuit before the opening of the main  
contacts of the disconnector (EN 60947-3).  
Other regions:  
The disconnecting means must conform to the applicable safety regulations.  
Thermal overload and short circuit protection  
Thermal overload protection  
The drive protects itself and the input and motor cables against thermal  
overload when the cables are dimensioned according to the nominal current of  
the drive. No additional thermal protection devices are needed.  
Protection against short-circuit in motor cable  
The drive protects the motor cable and the motor in a short-circuit situation  
when the motor cable is dimensioned according to the nominal current of the  
drive. No additional protection devices are needed.  
Protection against short-circuit in the supply cable or the drive  
Protect the supply cable with fuses. Fuse recommendations are given in the  
chapter Technical data. When placed at the distribution board, standard IEC gG  
fuses or UL type CC fuses will protect the input cable in short-circuit situations,  
restrict drive damage and prevent damage to adjoining equipment in case of a  
short circuit inside the drive.  
           
Planning the electrical installation 45  
Operating time of the fuses  
Check that the operating time of the fuse is below 0.5 seconds. The operating  
time depends on the type, the supply network impedance, and the cross-  
sectional area, material and length of the supply cable. US fuses must be of the  
CC “fast acting” type. Circuit breakers cannot be used with the MicroFlex e190  
for UL compliant applications. Fuses must be used.  
Motor thermal protection  
According to regulations, the motor must be protected against thermal  
overload and the current must be switched off when overloading is detected.  
The drive can be configured to include a motor temperature input that protects  
the motor and switches off the current when necessary. For more information  
about motor thermal protection see Thermal switch connection on page 62, and  
the Mint keyword MOTORTEMPERATUREINPUTin the Mint Workbench help file.  
Ground fault protection  
The drive is equipped with an internal ground fault protective function to  
protect the unit against ground faults in the motor and the motor cable. This is  
not a personal safety or a fire protection feature.  
The optional mains filter includes capacitors connected between the main  
circuit and the frame. These capacitors and long motor cables increase the  
ground leakage current and may cause fault current circuit breakers to function.  
Emergency stop devices  
For safety reasons, install the emergency stop devices at each operator control  
station and at other operating stations where emergency stop may be needed.  
Note: Stopping motion and/or disabling the drive in software does not  
separate the drive from dangerous potential.  
Residual current device (RCD) compatibility  
MicroFlex e190 drives are suitable to be used with residual current devices of  
Type B. Other measures for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, such  
as separation from the environment by double or reinforced insulation or  
isolation from the supply system by a transformer, can also be applied.  
       
46 Planning the electrical installation  
Safe Torque Off  
The drive supports the Safe Torque Off function according to standards  
EN 61800-5-2; IEC 61800-5-2; EN 60204-1; EN 61508.  
The Safe Torque Off function disables the control voltage of the power  
semiconductors of the drive output stage, thus preventing the inverter from  
generating the voltage required to rotate the motor (see diagram below). By  
using this function, short-time operations (like cleaning) and/or maintenance  
work on non-electrical parts of the machinery can be performed without  
switching off the power supply to the drive.

Notes:  
The STO function is activated when one or both of the safety circuit contacts open. If the period  
between both contacts opening or closing exceeds a predefined value, a fault in the safety circuit  
or wiring is assumed and an error is reported. See Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function on  
page 203.  
The maximum cable length between the drive and the activation switch is 30 m (98 ft).  
WARNING! The Safe Torque Off function does not disconnect the voltage  
of the main and auxiliary circuits from the drive. Therefore maintenance  
work on electrical parts of the drive or the motor can only be carried out after  
isolating the drive system from the main supply.  
Note: It is not recommended to stop the drive by using the Safe Torque Off  
function. If a running drive is stopped by using the Safe Torque Off function, the  
drive will stop by coasting. If this is not acceptable (e.g. causes danger), the  
drive and machinery must be stopped using the appropriate stopping mode  
before using this function.  
 
Planning the electrical installation 47  
For further information on the function, see Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO)  
function on page 203.  
Selecting the power cables  
General rules  
Dimension the supply (input power) and motor cables according to local  
regulations.  
The cable must be able to carry the drive load current. See the chapter  
Technical data for the rated currents.  
The cable must be rated for at least 70 °C maximum permissible  
temperature of conductor in continuous use. For UL installations use 75 °C  
copper wiring only.  
The conductivity of the PE conductor must be equal to that of a phase  
conductor (i.e. same cross-sectional area).  
600 VAC cable is accepted for up to 500 VAC.  
Refer to the chapter Technical data for EMC requirements.  
Symmetrical shielded motor cable must be used (see the figure below) to meet  
the EMC requirements of the CE mark.  
A four-conductor system is allowed for input cabling, but shielded symmetrical  
cable is recommended. Compared to a four-conductor system, the use of  
symmetrical shielded cable reduces electromagnetic emission of the whole  
drive system as well as motor bearing currents and wear.  
The motor cable and its PE pigtail (twisted shield) must be kept as short as  
possible in order to reduce electromagnetic emission.  
     
48 Planning the electrical installation  
Alternative power cable types  
Power cable types that can be used with the drive are represented below.  
Motor cable  
(also recommended for supply cabling)  
Symmetrical shielded cable: three phase conductors Note: A separate PE conductor is  
and a concentric or otherwise symmetrically  
constructed PE conductor, and a shield.

Motor cable shield  
To function as a protective conductor, the shield must have the same cross-  
sectional area as a phase conductor when they are made of the same metal. To  
effectively suppress radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions, the  
shield conductivity must be at least 1/10 of the phase conductor conductivity.  
The requirements are easily met with a copper or aluminum shield. The  
minimum requirement of the motor cable shield of the drive is shown below. It  
consists of a concentric layer of copper wires with an open helix of copper tape.  
The better and tighter the shield, the lower the emission level and the bearing  
currents.  
Insulation jacket  
Copper wire screen Helix of copper tape  
Inner insulation  
Cable core  
Selecting the control cables  
It is recommended that all control cables be shielded.  
Double-shielded twisted pair cable is recommended for analog signals. For  
pulse encoder cabling, follow the instructions given by the encoder  
     
Planning the electrical installation 49  
manufacturer. Use one individually-shielded pair for each signal. Do not use a  
common return for different analog signals.  
Double-shielded cable (Figure a) is the best alternative for low-voltage digital  
signals but single-shielded twisted multi-pair cable (Figure b) is also usable.  
a
b
Run analog and digital signals in separate cables.  
Never mix 24 VDC and 240 VAC signals in the same cable.  
Connection of a motor temperature sensor to the drive  
See page 62.  
Routing the cables  
Route the motor cable away from other cable routes. Motor cables of several  
drives can be run in parallel installed next to each other. It is recommended that  
the motor cable, input power cable and control cables be installed on separate  
trays. Avoid long parallel runs of motor cables with other cables in order to  
decrease electromagnetic interference caused by the rapid changes in the drive  
output voltage.  
Where control cables must cross power cables make sure they are arranged at  
an angle as near to 90 degrees as possible. Do not run extra cables through the  
drive.  
The cable trays must have good electrical bonding to each other and to the  
grounding electrodes. Aluminum tray systems can be used to improve local  
equalizing of potential.

minutes after disconnecting the input power.  
     
54 Electrical installation: AC input / DC input, motor and brake  
Checking the insulation of the assembly  
Drive  
Do not make any voltage tolerance or insulation resistance tests (e.g. hi-pot or  
megger) on any part of the drive as testing can damage the drive. Every drive  
has been tested for insulation between the main circuit and the chassis at the  
factory. Also, there are voltage-limiting circuits inside the drive which cut down  
the testing voltage automatically.  
Supply cable  
Check the insulation of the supply (input) cable according to local regulations  
before connecting to the drive.  
Motor and motor cable  
Check the insulation of the motor and motor cable as follows:  
Check that the motor cable is connected to the motor, and disconnected  
from the drive output terminals U, V and W.  
Measure the insulation resistance between each phase and the motor PE  
conductor by using a measuring voltage of 1 kV DC. The insulation resistance  
must be higher than 1 MΩ.

Notes:  
If shielded supply (input) cable is used, and the conductivity of the shield is less than 50% of  
the conductivity of a phase conductor, use a cable with a ground conductor or a separate PE  
cable (1).  
For motor cabling, use a separate ground cable (2) if the conductivity of the cable shield is  
less than 50% of the conductivity of a phase conductor and the cable has no symmetrical  
ground conductors. See also section Selecting the power cables on page 47.

56 Electrical installation: AC input / DC input, motor and brake  
Procedure  
Cabling drawings with tightening torques are presented on page 57.  
1. Strip the power cables so that the shields are bare at the cable clamps.  
2. Twist the ends of the cable shield wires into pigtails.  
3. Strip the ends of the phase conductors.  
4. Connect the phase conductors of the supply cable to the L1 and L2 terminals  
of the drive (or L1, L2 and L3 for three phase supply).  
Connect the phase conductors of the motor cable to the U, V and W  
terminals.  
Connect the conductors of the resistor cable (if present) to the R- and R+  
terminals.  
5. Tighten the cable clamps onto the bare cable shields.  
6. Crimp a cable lug onto each shield pigtail. Fasten the lugs to ground  
terminals.  
Note: Try to work out a compromise between the length of the pigtail and  
the length of unshielded phase conductors as both should ideally be as short  
as possible.  
7. Cover visible bare shield and pigtail with insulating tape.  
8. Secure the cables outside the unit mechanically.  
9. Ground the other end of the supply cable shield or PE conductor(s) at the  
distribution board. In case a mains choke and/or a mains filter is installed,  
make sure the PE conductor is continuous from the distribution board to the  
drive.  
Grounding the motor cable shield at the motor end  
For minimum radio frequency interference, ground the cable shield 360 degrees  
at the lead-through of the motor terminal box or ground the cable by twisting  
the shield so that the flattened shield is wider than 1/5 of its length.

A 24 V DC supply can be provided to power the controlling electronics. This is  
useful for safety reasons where the main AC (or DC) power supply is removed  
from the power stage, but the controlling electronics must remain powered to

Motor brake connection  
A rotary motor might require a brake. The brake prevents the uncontrolled  
release of suspended or tensioned loads when power to the motor is removed  
or disconnected, e.g. by a motor circuit contactor. Contact your local supplier  
for details of appropriate brakes.  
You can wire a motor's brake, via relays, to a digital output on connector X3; see  
Connecting the control cables on page 64. This provides a way for the  
MicroFlex e190 to control the motor's brake. A typical circuit is shown in the

24 V DC supply  
This circuit uses DO2 as a motor brake output. The output is configured using  
Mint keyword MOTORBRAKEOUTPUT; see the Mint help file for details. With this  
configuration, the following sequences can be used to control the brake. To  
engage the brake:  
The motor is brought to rest under normal control;  
The relay is deactivated, causing the brake to engage;  
The drive is disabled, removing power from the motor.  
To disengage the brake:  
The drive is enabled;  
The drive applies power to the motor to hold position under normal control;  
The relay is activated, causing the brake to be disengaged.  
It is sometimes necessary to include a small delay after the relay has been  
activated, before starting motion. This delay allows time for the relay contacts  
to engage and the brake to release. See the Mint keyword MOTORBRAKEDELAY.  
WARNING! The 24 V DC power supply used to power the brake must be a  
separate supply as shown in the diagram. Do not use the supply that is  
powering the MicroFlex e190 digital outputs. The brake wires often carry noise  
that could cause erratic drive operation or damage. The brake contacts must  
never be wired directly to the digital outputs. The relay should be fitted with a  
protective flyback diode, as shown. The separate 24 V DC supply used for the  
 
62 Electrical installation: AC input / DC input, motor and brake  
motor brake can also be used to power the relay in the thermal switch circuit  
(see below).  
Thermal switch connection  
You can use the motor's thermal switch contacts (normally closed), to control a  
relay connected to a digital input on connector X3. This allows the MicroFlex  
e190 to respond to motor over-temperature conditions. Using the Mint  
Workbench Digital I/O tool, the input can be configured to be the motor  
temperature input. The Mint keyword MOTORTEMPERATUREINPUTcan also be  
used to configure a digital input for this purpose. A typical circuit, using DI2 as  
the input, is shown in the following diagram:

Analog I/O  
The MicroFlex e190 provides:  
One 12-bit resolution ±10 V analog input.  
One 12-bit resolution ±10 V analog output.  
An analog input receives the torque / velocity reference signal when operating  
as an analog drive (see CONTROLREFSOURCEin the Mint help file) or it can be  
used as a general purpose ADC input.  
A additional analog input can be provided by the option card (see page 197).  
X3: Analog input AI0  
The analog input passes through a differential buffer and second order low-  
pass filter with a cut-off frequency of approximately 1.2 kHz.  
The analog input can be connected as either a differential or a single ended  
input as shown below. The analog input is not optically isolated from internal  
power rails, so care must be taken to avoid earth/ground loops and similar  
associated problems. To minimize the effects of noise, the analog input signal  
should be connected to the system using an individually shielded twisted pair  
cable with an overall shield. The overall shield should be connected to the  
chassis at one end only. No other connection should be made to the shield.  
When the MicroFlex e190 is connected to Mint Workbench, the analog input  
value (expressed as a percentage) can be viewed using the Spy window’s  
Monitor tab. Alternatively, the command Print ADC(0)can be used in the  
command window to return the value of the analog input. See the Mint help file  
for full details of ADC, ADCMODEand other related ADC... keywords.

Digital I/O  
The MicroFlex e190 provides:  
4 general purpose digital inputs.  
2 dedicated Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs.  
3 general purpose digital outputs.  
6 additional general purpose digital inputs and 4 additional general purpose  
digital outputs can be provided by the option card (see page 197).  
X4: Digital inputs - Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs  
The two safe torque off (STO) inputs are identical. Each input directly enables  
part of the motor output control circuit. Both inputs must be powered to allow  
the MicroFlex e190 to supply power to the motor. If an additional hardware  
drive enable input is used to control the MicroFlex e190, it must not be wired  
with the STO input circuit. The state of the STO inputs can be viewed using the  
Mint Workbench Spy window or via the Mint SAFETORQUEOFF keyword. See the  
Mint help file for details. See Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function on  
page 203.  
X3: Digital inputs - general purpose DI1 & DI2  
These general purpose fast digital inputs are buffered by an opto-isolator,  
allowing the input signal to be connected with either polarity. When the  
MicroFlex e190 is connected to Mint Workbench, the digital inputs can be  
configured using the Digital I/O tool. Alternatively, Mint keywords including  
RESETINPUT, ERRORINPUT, STOPINPUT, FORWARDLIMITINPUT,  
REVERSELIMITINPUT, DRIVEENABLEINPUT, MOTORTEMPERATUREINPUT,  
PHASESEARCHINPUTand HOMEINPUTcan be used. The state of the digital inputs  
can be viewed using the Mint Workbench Spy window's Axis tab. See the Mint

X3: Digital inputs - Special function DI1 & DI2  
DI1 and DI2 can be configured to perform special functions. The ENCODERMODE  
keyword controls the configuration. When operating as an encoder input or  
step and direction inputs, DI1 and DI2 can be used for a dual-loop feedback  
system or connected to a master encoder for position following applications  
(see the FOLLOW, FLYand CAMkeywords in the Mint help file).  
Fast latch input  
(ENCODERMODEbit 2 = 0)  
DI1 or DI2 can be configured using the LATCHTRIGGERCHANNELkeyword to  
become a fast latch input. This allows the position of the axis to be captured in  
real-time and read using the Mint keyword LATCHVALUE. The input can be  
configured using the LATCHTRIGGEREDGEkeyword to be triggered either on a  
 
70 Electrical installation: input / output  
rising or falling edge. Further control of position capture is provided by various  
other keywords beginning with LATCH. See the Mint help file for details.  
The maximum latency to read the fast position depends on the feedback device.  
For an incremental encoder, the latency is approximately 150 - 300 ns. For other  
feedback devices latency can be up to 62.5 ?s, resulting from the 16 kHz  
sampling frequency used for these types of feedback device. The fast interrupt  
is latched on a pulse width of about 30 ?s, although a width of 100 ?s is  
recommended to ensure capture. The captured value is latched in software to  
prevent subsequent inputs causing the captured value to be overwritten.  
Note: The fast inputs are particularly sensitive to noise, so inputs must use  
shielded twisted pair cable. Do not connect mechanical switches, relay contacts  
or other sources liable to signal ‘bounce’ directly to the fast inputs. This could  
cause unwanted multiple triggering.  
Encoder input  
(ENCODERMODEbit 2 = 0)  
Whilst operating as general purpose digital inputs, DI1 and DI2 are  
simultaneously interpreted by the drive as an additional quadrature (CHA, CHB)  
incremental encoder input. DI1 is CHA and DI2 is CHB. In Mint, the input formed  
by digital inputs DI1 and DI2 is encoder 1. The encoder value can be read using  
the ENCODERkeyword.  
Step (pulse) and Direction inputs  
(ENCODERMODEbit 2 = 1)  
If ENCODERMODEbit 2 is set, DI1 and DI2 are interpreted as step and direction  
inputs. In Mint, the input formed by digital inputs DI1 and DI2 is channel  
(encoder) 1.  
DI1 is used as the step input. The step frequency controls the speed of the  
motor.  
DI2 is used as the direction input. The state of the direction input controls  
the direction of motion. The motor direction itself can be reversed if  
necessary via the MOTORDIRECTIONMint keyword.  
The controller providing the step and direction signals may use current sourcing  
/ open emitter outputs or it may use current sinking / open collector outputs.  
In both cases it is still vital to ensure twisted pairs are used for these signals  
(twist the signal for DIN1+ with the signal for DIN1- and twist the signal for  
DIN2+ with the signal for DIN2-).

Drive enable input  
A general purpose digital input can be configured as a ‘drive enable input’. This  
input must be activated to allow the drive to operate. This provides an  
additional method for stopping the drive using a hardware switch or external  
PLC/controller (e.g. AC500) although it does not provide any of the formal  
safety features of the Safe Torque Off inputs (see page 203). The optional drive  
enable input is configured using the Digital I/O tool in Mint Workbench.  
Home switch input  
If homing is being handled locally by the MicroFlex e190, the axis home switch  
(if present) must be wired directly to the home input on the MicroFlex e190,  
otherwise it will not be able to complete its internal homing routines. The home  
switch input is configured using the Digital I/O tool in Mint Workbench, or by  
using the Mint HOMEINPUTkeyword. Other HOME… keywords define the homing  
sequence.  
®
If homing is being handled by an EtherCAT master over Ethernet, and the  
master is profiling the motion, there are three options. The choice depends on  
the accuracy required for the homing and the EtherCAT cycle-time:  
The axis home switch is wired to an input on the MicroFlex e190, and then  
mapped back to the master over EtherCAT;  
The home switch is wired directly to the EtherCAT master;  
The home switch is wired to one of the fast inputs (DI1 / DI2), and the master  
(or the manager node) enables the drive’s touch probe function. See the  
Mint Workbench help file for details.  
     
Electrical installation: input / output 75  
X3: Digital outputs - general purpose DO0 - DO3  
The general purpose digital outputs are optically isolated. They source current  
from the user supply as shown below. The maximum saturated voltage across  
the outputs when active is 1.0 V DC, so it can be used as a TTL compatible  
output.  
The output includes a self-resetting fuse that operates at approximately  
200 mA. The fuse can take up to 20 seconds to reset after the load has been  
removed. If the output is used to directly drive a relay or any other inductive  
load, a suitably rated diode must be fitted across the load, observing the  
correct polarity. This is to protect the output from the back-EMF generated by  
the load when it is de-energized.  
When the MicroFlex e190 is connected to Mint Workbench, the active level of the  
output can be configured using the Digital I/O tool. Alternatively, the Mint  
keyword OUTPUTACTIVELEVELcan be used in the command window. Other  
Mint keywords such as COMPAREOUTPUT, GLOBALERROROUTPUT,  
DRIVEENABLEOUTPUTand MOTORBRAKEOUTPUTcan be used to configure the  
output. The state of the digital outputs can be viewed using the Mint  
Workbench Spy window Axis tab.

X3: Digital outputs - special function DO0 - DO3  
The general-purpose digital outputs can be assigned to special purpose  
functions. If an output has been assigned to one special purpose function, it  
cannot be assigned to other sepcial purpose function at the same time.  
Global error output  
By default DO0 is configured as a global error output. Use the Digital I/O tool or  
the Mint command GLOBALERROROUTPUT = -1to release the output for other  
purposes.  
When an asynchronous error occurs, Mint can deactivate a digital output (or  
relay) known as the global error output. The output is assigned with the  
GLOBALERROROUTPUTkeyword. The output is deactivated as soon as the error  
occurs on any axis - it does not wait for any assigned default action to be  
completed.  
Drive enable ready output  
A general-purpose digital output can be configured as a ‘drive enable ready  
indication output’ by using the parameter DriveEnableReadyOutput(P12.4),  
or by using the Mint DRIVEENABLEREADYOUTPUTkeyword in Mint Workbench.  
The Mint DRIVEENABLEREADYkeyword returns true(1) or false(0) to indicate if  
the drive axis is ready to be enabled. When the DRIVEENABLEREADY is true, the  
assigned digital output will be high level, otherwise the digital output will be  
low level.  
Target position reached output  
A general-purpose digital output can be configured as a ‘target position  
reached indication output’ by using the parameter TargetPosReachedOutput  
(P12.5), or by using the Mint TARGETPOSREACHEDOUTPUTkeyword in Mint  
Workbench.  
 
Electrical installation: input / output 77  
How to determine when the drive has reached the target position value:

false.  
Direct control: Control mode is position control (CONTROLMODE=3) and the  
Keyword IDLEis true.  
After the above conditions are met, the assigned digital output is high level,  
otherwise the digital outputs low level.  
Target velocity reached output  
A general purpose digital output can be configured as a ‘target velocity reached  
indication output’ by using the parameter TargetVelReachedOutput(P12.7),  
or by using the Mint TARGETVELREACHEDOUTPUTkeyword in Mint Workbench.  
How to determine when the drive has reached the target velocity value and keep  
constant speed:  
Remote control: DS 402 mode of operation is profile velocity mode,status  
word (object 6041h) Bit10 is true and contrl word (object 6040h)Bit8 is false.  
Direct control: Control mode is velocity control (CONTROLMODE=2) and the  
keyword MOVESTATUSbit3 is true.  
After the above conditions are met, the assigned digital output is high level,  
otherwise the digital outputs low level.  
Home completed output  
A general-purpose digital output can be configured as a ‘home completed  
indication output’ by using the parameter HomeCompleteOutput(P12.6), or by  
using the Mint HOMECOMPLETEOUTPUTkeyword in Mint Workbench.  
How to determine when the drive has completed the homing process:  
Remote control: DS 402 mode of operation is homing mode and the status  
word (object 6041h) Bit10 is true.  
Direct control: The keyword HOMESTATUSis true.  
After the above conditions are met,the assigned digital output is high level,

Control cable grounding  
The shields of all control cables must be grounded at the earth bar. Use M4  
screws to fasten cable clamps.  
The shields should be continuous as close to the terminals as possible. Only  
remove the outer jacket of the cable at the cable clamp so that the clamp  
presses on the bare shield. At the terminal block, use shrink tubing or insulating  
tape to contain any stray strands. The shield (especially in case of multiple  
shields) can also be terminated with a lug and fastened with a screw at the  
earth bar. Leave the other end of the shield unconnected or ground it indirectly  
via a few nanofarads high-frequency capacitor (e.g. 3.3 nF / 630 V). The shield  
can also be grounded directly at both ends if they are in the same ground line  
with no significant voltage drop between the end points.  
Keep any signal wire pairs twisted as close to the terminals as possible.  
Twisting the wire with its return wire reduces disturbances caused by inductive  
coupling.  
Use shrink tubing or tape to contain

Motor feedback (X8)  
MicroFlex e190 supports incremental encoder, EnDat 2.1, SinCos, BiSS-B (Bi-  
directional Synchronous Serial Interface), SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface),  
EnDat 2.2, Smart Abs absolute encoder or Hiperface feedback, for use with  
linear and rotary motors. Resolvers are supported by using the optional resolver  
adapter (see page 93). There are some important considerations when wiring  
the feedback device:  
The inputs are not isolated.  
The feedback device wiring must be separated from power wiring.  
Where feedback device wiring runs parallel to power cables, they must be  
separated by at least 76 mm (3 in).  
Feedback device wiring must cross power wires at right angles only.  
To prevent contact with other conductors or earths / grounds, unearthed /  
ungrounded ends of shields must often be insulated.  
Linear motors use two separate cables (encoder and Hall). The cores of  
these two cables will need to be wired to the appropriate pins of the 15-pin  
D-type mating connector or the encoder breakout option (see page 194) can  
be used to simplify linear feedback connections.  
A maximum combined total of 500 mA can be supplied by X8 pin 12 and X7  
pin 9 to feedback devices. Self-resetting fuses protect the 5.5 / 8-12 V supply  
on X8 and the 5.5 V supply on X7.

Twisted pairs must be used for each complementary signal pair e.g. CHA+ and  
CHA-or Data+ and Data-.  
The overall cable shield (screen) must be connected to the metallic shell of the  
D-type connector.  
In Mint Workbench, the primary motor feedback encoder on connector X8 is  
encoder 0. The extra incremental encoder input formed by digital inputs DI1 and  
DI2 is encoder 1 (see page 70). The other extra incremental encoder input on  
connector X7 is encoder 2 by default (see page 90), but alternatively connector  
X8 can be configured as encoder input 2 (see page 87).  
Incremental encoder with Halls  
The incremental encoder connections (ABZ channels and Hall signals) are made  
using the 15-pin D-type female connector X8. The encoder inputs (CHA, CHB and  
CHZ) accept differential signals only. Twisted pairs must be used for each  
complementary signal pair e.g. CHA+ and CHA-. The Hall inputs may be used as  
differential inputs (recommended for improved noise immunity) or single  
ended inputs. When used as single ended inputs, leave the Hall U-, Hall V- and  
Hall W- pins unconnected. The overall cable shield (screen) must be connected  
to the metallic shell of the D-type connector. The encoder supply on pin 12  
typically provides 5.5 V to the encoder (500 mA maximum, less if other encoder  
inputs are in use; see page 82). Maximum cable length is 30 m.

The overall cable shield (screen) must be connected to the metallic shell of the  
D-type connector. The encoder supply on pin 12 provides either 5.5 V or 8-12 V to  
the encoder, selected using the switch behind connector X7 (500 mA maximum,  
less if other encoder outputs are in use; see page 82).  
WARNING! Check the feedback device’s power input specifications before  
using the 8 V position. Selecting the wrong voltage could damage your  
feedback device. Typically 8 V is only used when using a Hiperface  
encoder.

Extra incremental encoder  
Some applications require the connection of multiple encoders typically when:  
A single axis has multiple encoders on the same motion system to eliminate  
mechanical errors (a dual encoder application).  
The drive is required to follow encoder signals given to it from a master  
encoder input.  
In both cases the drive can support a connection to an extra incremental  
encoder by X7 (see page 90) or X8. The default extra incremental encoder input  
(encoder 2) is X7.If X7 is occupied as an encoder output and the primary  
feedback type is one that does not use the Hall/sin/cos inputs (Incremental  
encoder without Halls, BiSS-B, SSI, EnDat 2.2, Smart Abs or resolver), the extra  
incremental encoder also can be connected to X8.  
Note: In Mint, this extra encoder input (encoder 2 on X8) is available only when  
connector X7 has been configured as an encoder output (see page 91).  
Input mode: ABZ incremental encoder (default)  
By default, connector X8 is configured as an ABZ incremental encoder input  
when operating as encoder 2.  
Input mode: Step (Pulse) and Direction  
Optionally, connector X8 can be configured as a step and direction input when  
operating as encoder 2. Use one of the following methods to select step and  
direction mode.  
In Mint Workbench, choose the Parameters tool and expand the Encoder  
family. Click the EncoderMode entry, then click the value next to  
EncoderMode (Encoder Channel 2). Check Bit 2: Step/Direction, then click  
OK. On the menu, choose Tools, Store Drive Parameters.  
In Mint Workbench, choose the Edit & Debug tool. In the Command window  
enter the command: ENCODERMODE(2)=4(or other value where bit 2 is set).  
On the menu, choose Tools, Store Drive Parameters.  
The step and direction inputs are both differential and must be controlled from  
a RS422 differential source. Single-ended connections cannot be used.  
The A channel pins (1 & 6) are used as the step input. The step frequency  
controls the speed of the motor.  
The B channel pins (2 & 7) are used as the direction input. The state of the  
direction input controls the direction of motion.  
The Z channel input is not used.  
 
88 Electrical installation: input / output  
When connector X8 is specified as encode 2, an encoder breakout OPT-MF-200  
need to be mounted to split one 15-pin connector X8 into one 15-pin connectors  
X8A and one 9-pin X8B. X8A is connected to motor feedback, while X8B is  
connected to an extra incremental encoder (see page 194).

The incremental encoder input/output connection provides A/B channels and a  
Z index channel. Twisted pairs must be used for each complementary signal pair  
e.g. CHA+ and CHA-. The Mint keyword ENCODEROUTCHANNELis used to set the  
mode of operation for X7. When set to the default value of -1, X7 operates as an

Note: The inputs should be use shielded twisted pair cable with an overall

Encoder output mode  
Optionally, connector X7 can be configured as an encoder output (encoder  
output 0). This automatically enables the extra incremental encoder input on  
connector X8, which then becomes encoder input 2 (see page 87). When  
operating as an encoder output, X7 can be connected to the encoder input of a  
motion controller to provide position feedback. The A/B outputs are a pair of  
synthesized pulse trains with a 50% duty cycle, 90 degrees out of phase. The  
 
92 Electrical installation: input / output  
ENCODEROUTCHANNELMint keyword is used to define the source signal that will  
be output at X7:  
-1 = (Default) No encoder source assigned, X7 operates as an encoder input.  
0 = Encoder 0, the primary encoder input on X8.  
1 = Encoder 1, the encoder input formed by digital inputs DI1 and DI2 when  
they are set to behave as an encoder input (see X3: Digital inputs - Special  
2 = Encoder 2, the extra incremental encoder interface on X8.  
The frequency of the A/B outputs is varied according to the source signal, and  
can be scaled using the ENCODEROUTRESOLUTIONMint keyword. The output at  
X7 is identical to the input at X8, with no propagation delay, provided the  
output resolution is set to match the input resolution. In all other cases there is  
a propagation delay of up to 125 ?s.  
Use one of the following methods to configure X7 as an encoder output:  
In Mint Workbench, choose the Drive Setup tool and proceed to the Motor  
Feedback page. In the Simulated Encoder Output 0 area, click in the Encoder  
source channel drop down and choose one of the encoder sources 0, 1, or 2  
as described above. Proceed to the end of the wizard and follow the  
instructions to save the changed parameter.  
In Mint Workbench, choose the Parameters tool and expand the Encoder  
family. Click the EncoderOutChannel entry, then click the value next to  
EncoderOutChannel (Encoder Channel 0). Choose one of the encoder  
sources 0, 1, or 2 as described above. On the menu, choose Tools, Store Drive  
Parameters.  
In Mint Workbench, choose the Edit & Debug tool. In the Command window  
enter the command: ENCODEROUTCHANNEL(0)=n, where n is 0, 1, or 2, as  
described above. On the menu, choose Tools, Store Drive Parameters.  
Electrical installation: input / output 93  
OPT-MF-201 Resolver adapter  
The optional resolver adapter OPT-MF-201 allows a motor with resolver  
feedback to be connected to the MicroFlex e190. See page 195 for details.  
Supported feedback type  
Various feedback types are offered as options on linear and rotary servo  
motors, the feedback types supported by MicroFlex e190 include the  
incremental encoder, EnDat 2.1, SinCos, BiSS-B, SSI, EnDat 2.2, Smart Abs  
absolute encoder, Hiperface encoder and resolvers (supported by using the  
optional resolver adapter, see page 195).  
When selecting an encoder, you need to determine which type of encoder  
feedback is required in order to be compatible with the drive that will be  
receiving the encoder signals. Choosing the wrong encoder type will result in a  
non-functional system and possibly hardware damage.  
The right feedback type for your application is automatically set when the  
   
94 Electrical installation: input / output  
motor is selected in Mint Workbench. The Mint keyword ENCODERTYPEcan also  
be used to define the feedback type of encoder input. Moreover, MicroFlex e190  
supports two different types of incremental encoder signal inputs (primary  
encoder and optional inc. encoder), see more details below.  
The MicroFlex e190 has 3 encoder input channels:  
Encoder 0: Primary encoder input on connector X8 (see page 82).  
Encoder 1: Extra optional incremental encoder input on connector X3 (see  
page 70).  
Encoder 2: Extra optional incremental encoder input/PTO on connector X7  
(see page 90) or to X8 by using the OPT-MF-200 encoder breakout option  
(see page 87).

What this chapter contains  
This chapter describes software installation and the start-up procedure of the  
drive.  
Safety  
WARNING! Read the Safety instructions on the first pages of this manual  
before performing any maintenance on the equipment. Ignoring the  
safety instructions can cause injury or death.  
Introduction  
Before powering the MicroFlex e190 you must connect it to the PC using an  
Ethernet cable and install the Mint Workbench software on the PC. This includes  
a number of applications and utilities to allow you to configure, tune and  
program the MicroFlex e190.  
Connect the MicroFlex e190 to the PC  
Connect a CAT5e Ethernet cable between the PC and the MicroFlex e190 E3  
Ethernet port on the front panel. Do not connect the cable to the E1 or E2 ports  
on the top of the drive.  
NOTE! You cannot connect an ordinary office PC to the MicroFlex e190  
without first altering the PC's Ethernet adapter configuration. See  
           
100 Start-up  
Install Mint Workbench  
The Windows user account requires administrative user rights to install Mint  
Workbench. To install the software, download the application from  
new.abb.com/motion and run it.  
Configure the PC Ethernet adapter  
It is necessary to alter the PC's Ethernet adapter configuration to operate  
correctly with the MicroFlex e190. By default, the MicroFlex e190 has a static IP  
address of 192.168.0.1. This can be changed using the Configuration tool in Mint  
Workbench.  
NOTE! You cannot connect an ordinary office PC to the MicroFlex e190  
without first altering the PC's Ethernet adapter configuration. However, if  
you have installed a second Ethernet adapter dedicated for use with the  
MicroFlex e190, then this adapter's configuration can be altered without  
affecting the PC's office Ethernet connection. A USB to Ethernet adapter is a  
convenient way to add a second Ethernet adapter to a PC. If you are unsure  
about making changes to your PC's Ethernet adapter configuration, or are  
prevented by user permission levels, ask your I.T. administrator to assist you.  
The following explanation assumes the PC is connected directly to the  
MicroFlex e190, and not across an intermediate Ethernet network. If you wish to  
attempt the connection through an intermediate Ethernet network, then the  
network administrator must be consulted to ensure that the necessary IP  
address is allowed and is not already allocated on the network.  
1. On the Windows 7 Start menu, choose Control Panel, then Network and  
Sharing Center. (Windows 8.1: Apps screen, Control Panel, Network and  
Internet, Network and Sharing Center. Windows 10: Start, Settings, Network  
& Internet, Ethernet).  
2. On the left of the window, click Change Adapter Settings (Windows 10:  
Change adapter options). Double click the icon for the required Ethernet  
adapter, then click Properties.  
3. Select the ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' entry and click Properties.  
4. On the General tab, make a note of the existing settings. Click Advanced...  
and make a note of any existing settings. Click Cancel and then click the  
Alternate Configuration tab and make a note of any existing settings.  
5. On the General tab, choose the ‘Use the following IP address' option.  
6. In the IP address box, enter an IP address, e.g. 192.168.0.241. This is the IP  
address that will be assigned to the Ethernet adapter.  
7. In the Subnet mask box, enter 255.255.255.0 and click OK.  
8. Click Close to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog.  
     
Start-up 101  
9. Click Close to close the Local Area Connection Status dialog.  
Enable the Ethernet adapter for Mint Workbench  
Before Mint Workbench can use the Ethernet adapter to discover the  
MicroFlex e190, the adapter must be enabled in the Mint Sidebar.  
1. On the Windows 7/10 task bar in the notification area, right-click the Mint  
HTTP Server icon and choose Properties. (Windows 8.1: On the Start screen,  
click the Desktop icon to access the desktop first.)  
2. In the Discovery area, check the required local area connection, then click OK.  
Note: If the Mint Sidebar cannot discover the drive then you may need to disable  
or modify your Firewall and/or Anti-virus settings.  
Start the MicroFlex e190  
If you have followed the instructions in the previous sections, you should have  
now connected the power sources, your choice of inputs and outputs, and the  
Ethernet cable linking the PC to the MicroFlex e190.  
Preliminary checks  
Before you apply power for the first time, check all items in Installation checklist,  
starting on page 97.  
Power on checks  
See section Drive status display on page 120 for symbols that show if the drive  
has detected a fault.  
1. Turn on the 24 V DC control circuit supply (if present).  
2. Turn on the AC supply (or DC supply, page 58).  
3. The drive status display shows a test sequence which normally takes  
approximately 15-20 seconds. The sequence ends with the  
symbol, or  
if an STO input (page 203) is not powered. Start-up can take more than 1  
minute after downloading new firmware.  
4. To allow the Commissioning Wizard to function, the Safe Torque Off inputs  
(page 203) must be powered to allow the MicroFlex e190 to be enabled.  
         
102 Start-up  
Start Mint Workbench  
Mint Workbench is a fully featured application for programming and controlling  
the MicroFlex e190. Mint Workbench includes a comprehensive help file that  
contains information about every Mint keyword, how to use Mint Workbench,  
and background information on motion control topics. Press F1 to display the  
help file. For help on using Mint Workbench, click the red Mint Workbench icon  
on the opening page.  
1. On the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, ABB, Mint Workbench, Mint

Wizard.  
5. Click Select.  
Note: If the MicroFlex e190 is not listed, check the Ethernet cable is connected  
to the E3 port on the front panel of the drive, not E1 or E2 on the top panel.  
Check that the MicroFlex e190 is powered correctly and the start-up sequence  
(see Power on checks, above) has completed. Ensure you have enabled the  
Ethernet adapter for Mint Workbench (see page 101). Click Scan to re-scan the  
ports. It can take up to 5 seconds for Mint Workbench to detect the  
MicroFlex e190.  
6. Mint Workbench connects to the MicroFlex e190 and displays the  
Commissioning Wizard.  
Note: If Launch Commissioning Wizard was not checked, Edit & Debug mode is  
displayed.  
 
Start-up 103  
Commissioning Wizard  
Each type of motor and drive combination has different performance  
characteristics. Before the MicroFlex e190 can be used to control the motor  
accurately, the MicroFlex e190 must be ‘tuned'. Tuning is the process where the  
MicroFlex e190 powers the motor in a series of tests. By monitoring the drive's  
output and the feedback from the motor's encoder, the MicroFlex e190 can  
make small adjustments to the way it controls the motor. This information is  
stored in the MicroFlex e190 and can be uploaded to a file if necessary.  
The Commissioning Wizard provides a simple way to tune the MicroFlex e190  
and create the necessary configuration information for your drive/motor  
combination, so this is the first tool that should be used. If necessary, any of the  
parameters set by the Commissioning Wizard can be adjusted manually after  
commissioning is complete.  
Using the Commissioning Wizard  
Each screen of the Commissioning Wizard requires you to enter information  
about the motor, drive or application. Read each screen carefully and enter the  
required information. When you have completed a screen, click Next > to display  
the next screen. If you need to change something on a previous screen, click the  
< Back button. The Commissioning Wizard remembers information that you  
have entered so you do not need to re-enter everything if you go back to  
previous screens. If you need extra help, click Help or press F1.  
Select your Motor Type:  
Select the type of motor that you are using; rotary or linear, brushless or  
induction.  
Select your Motor:  
Carefully enter the details of your motor. If you are using an ABB motor, the  
catalog number or spec. number can be found stamped on the motor's  
nameplate. If you are using a motor with EnDat feedback, are using a different  
manufacturer’s motor, or need to enter the specification manually, select the  
‘Enter motor parameters manually’ option.  
Confirm Motor and Drive information:  
If you entered the catalog or spec. number on the previous page, it is not  
necessary to change anything on this screen; all the required data is entered  
already. However, if you selected the ‘Enter motor parameters manually’ option,  
it is necessary to enter the required information before continuing.  
Motor Feedback:  
If you entered the catalog or spec. number on the previous page, it is not  
necessary to change anything on this screen; the feedback resolution is entered  
   
104 Start-up  
already. However, if you selected the ‘Enter motor parameters manually’ option,  
it is necessary to enter the feedback resolution before continuing.  
Drive Setup complete:  
This screen confirms that drive setup is complete.  
Select Operating Mode and Source:  
In the Operating Mode section, choose the required operating mode. In the  
Reference Source section, it is important to select the correct operating source  
(‘Direct’ or ‘RT Ethernet’) as the Reference Source. This allows the Autotune  
Wizard to operate correctly, and allows further initial testing to be performed  
using Mint Workbench. Although the MicroFlex e190 might eventually be  
controlled over EtherCAT (or Ethernet POWERLINK), the ‘RT Ethernet' reference  
source should be selected only after the MicroFlex e190 has been commissioned  
and is ready to add to the EtherCAT (or Ethernet POWERLINK) network. This is  
selected by choosing the Operating Mode tool in the Toolbox.  
Application Limits:  
Application maximum speed (App. Max. Speed) defaults to zero and need to be  
entered the correct speed value. It is often not necessary to change other  
parameters on this screen. However, if you wish to adjust the application peak  
current (App. Peak Current) , then click in the appropriate box and enter a value.  
Select Scale Factor:  
It is often not necessary to change anything on this screen. However, it is  
recommended to select a user unit for position, velocity and acceleration. This  
allows Mint Workbench to display distance, speed and acceleration using  
meaningful units, instead of encoder counts. For example, selecting a Position  
User Unit of Revs (r) means that all position values entered or displayed in Mint  
Workbench will represent revolutions. The Position Scale Factor value changes  
automatically to represent the required scale factor (the number of quadrature  
counts per revolution). If you need to use an alternative unit, for example  
degrees, type “Degrees” in the Position User Unit box and enter a suitable value  
in the Position Scale Factor box. Separate velocity and acceleration units can  
also be defined. See the Mint help file for more information about scale factors.  
Profile Parameters:  
It is often not necessary to change anything on this screen. However, if you wish  
to adjust the parameters for any control method, click in the appropriate box  
and enter a value.  
Analog input parameters:  
It is not necessary to change anything on this screen. However, if you wish to  
adjust the analog inputs, click Common Settings to select the input range. The  
Start-up 105  
Tune Offset button automatically adjusts the input to compensate for any DC  
offset.  
Operation setup complete:  
This screen confirms that operation setup is complete.  
Autotune Wizard  
The Autotune Wizard tunes the MicroFlex e190 for optimal performance with  
the attached motor. This removes the need for manual fine-tuning of the  
system, although in some critical applications this might be required.  
Click Options... to configure optional autotuning parameters. Each Option  
shows settings relevant to the adjacent test.  
WARNING! The motor moves during autotuning. For safety it is advisable  
to disconnect any load from the motor during initial autotuning. The  
motor can be tuned with the load connected after the Commissioning  
Wizard has finished.  
Autotune:  
Click START to begin the auto-tuning process. Mint Workbench takes  
measurements from the motor and then performs small test moves.  
For further information about tuning with the load attached, see Further tuning -  
Note: Even if you do not perform any further tuning or configuration, the STO  
function must be tested; see Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function on  
page 203.  
Further tuning - no load attached  
The Autotune Wizard calculates many parameters that allow the MicroFlex e190  
to provide good control of the motor. In some applications, these parameters  
need to be fine-tuned to provide the exact response that you require.  
1. Click the Fine-tuning icon in the Toolbox on the left of the screen.  
The Fine-tuning window is displayed at the right of the screen. This already  
shows some of the parameters that have been calculated by the  
Commissioning Wizard.  
The main area of the Mint Workbench window displays the capture window.  
When further tuning tests are performed, it displays a graph representing  
the response.  
 
106 Start-up  
2. The Fine-tuning window has a number of tabs the bottom.   
Click on the Current tab to fine tuning the current loop.  
Click on the Velocity/ Position tab to fine tuning the velocity/position loop  
in velocity / torque servo configuration.   
Some tabs might not be available depending on the configuration mode you  
selected in the Commissioning Wizard.  
3. In the Test Parameters area at the bottom of the tab, click in the Move Type  
drop down box and select Forward.   
Enter values in the Velocity and Distance boxes to create a short move. The  
values you enter depend on the velocity scaling factor that was selected in  
the Commissioning Wizard. This example assumes the velocity scaling  
factor was selected as Revs Per Minute (rpm), so entering a value of 1000  
here creates a move with a velocity of 1000 rpm. Similarly, assuming the  
position scaling factor had been set to Revolutions (r), the value 10 creates a  
move lasting for 10 revolutions of the motor.  
4. Click Go to start the test move. Mint Workbench performs the test move and  
displays a graph of the result.  
5. Click on the graph labels to turn off unwanted traces. Leave just Demand  
Velocity and Measured Velocity turned on.  
Typical autotuned response (no load):  
Measured  
velocity  
Demand  
velocity  
Start-up 107  
Note: The graph that you see will not look exactly the same as this one! Each  
motor has a different response.  
The graph shows that the response reaches the demand quickly and only  
overshoots the demand by a small amount. This can be considered an ideal  
response for most systems.  
For further information about tuning with the load attached, see Further tuning -  
Further tuning - with load attached  
To allow Mint Workbench to adjust the basic tuning to compensate for the  
intended load, it is necessary to attach the load to the motor and then perform  
the autotune procedure again.  
1. Attach the load to the motor.  
2. Click the Autotune icon in the Toolbox on the left of the screen.  
3. Clear all of the check boxes. Only “Measure the inertia” and “Calculate speed  
and position loop gains” must be selected.  
4. Click START to begin the auto-tuning process. Mint Workbench takes  
measurements from the motor and then performs small test moves.  
5. Click the Fine-tuning icon in the Toolbox on the left of the screen.  
6. In the Velocity tab's Test Parameters area, ensure the same move  
parameters are entered and then click Go to start the test move.   
Mint Workbench performs the test move and displays a graph of the result.  
 
108 Start-up  
Optimizing the velocity response  
It can be desirable to optimize the default autotuned response to better suit  
your application. The following sections describe the two main tuning factors  
and how to correct them.  
Correcting overshoot  
The following graph shows a response where the measured velocity overshoots  
the demand by a significant amount.  
1. Go to the Fine-tuning window's Velocity tab.   
To reduce the amount of overshoot, click Calculate... and increase the  
bandwidth using the slider control. Alternatively, type a larger value in the  
Bandwidth box.  
Click OK to close the Bandwidth dialog.  
2. Click Go to start the test move. Mint Workbench performs the test move and  
displays a graph of the result.  
Velocity overshoots demand:  
Measured

Start-up 109  
Correcting zero-speed noise in the velocity response  
The following graph shows a response where there is very little overshoot but a  
significant amount of zero-speed noise. This can cause undesirable humming or  
ringing in the motor.  
1. Go to the Fine-tuning window's Velocity tab.   
To reduce the amount of noise, click Calculate... and decrease the bandwidth  
using the slider control. Alternatively, type a smaller value in the Bandwidth  
box.   
Click OK to close the Bandwidth dialog.  
2. Click Go to start the test move. Mint Workbench performs the test move and  
displays a graph of the result.

Ideal velocity response  
Repeat the tests described in Correcting overshoot and Correcting zero-speed  
noise in the velocity response until the optimal response is achieved. The  
following graph shows an ideal velocity response. There is only a small amount  
of overshoot and very little zero-speed noise.

Performing test moves - continuous jog  
This section tests the basic operation of the drive and motor by performing a  
continuous jog. To stop a move in progress, click the red stop button or the  
drive enable button on the toolbar. Alternatively, use the Mint Workbench ‘Red  
Stop Button’ feature.  
1. Check that the Drive enable button is pressed (down).  
2. In the Toolbox, click the Edit & Debug icon.  
3. Click in the Command window.   
Type:   
JOG(0)=10  
This causes the motor to move continuously at 10 units per second. In Mint  
Workbench, look at the Spy window located on the right of the screen. Check  
   
Start-up 111  
that the axis tab is selected. The Spy window's Velocity display should show  
10 (approximately). If there seems to be very little motor movement, it is  
probably due to the scale factor. In the Commissioning Wizard, on the Select  
Scale Factor page, if you did not adjust the scale factor then the current unit  
of movement is feedback counts per second. Depending on the motor's  
feedback device, 10 feedback counts per second could equate to a very small  
velocity. Issue another JOG command using a larger value, or use the  
Operating Mode Wizard to select a suitable scale factor (e.g. 4000 if the  
motor has a 1000 line encoder, or 10,000 for a 2500 line encoder).  
4. To stop the test, type:  
STOP(0)  
5. If you have finished testing click the Drive Enable button to disable the drive.  
Performing test moves - relative positional move  
This section tests the basic operation of the drive and motor by performing a  
positional move. To stop a move in progress, click the red stop button or the  
drive enable button on the toolbar. Alternatively, use the Mint Workbench ‘Red  
Stop Button’ feature.  
1. Check that the Drive enable button is pressed (down).  
2. In the Toolbox, click the Edit & Debug icon.  
3. Click in the Command window.   
Type:   
MOVER(0)=10  
GO(0)=10  
This causes the motor to move to a position 10 units from its current  
position.  
The move stops when completed.  
4. If you have finished testing click the Drive Enable button to disable the drive.

Power  
Drive does not start when applying AC power:  
Check that the motor output phases are not short circuited. The drive trips  
on a motor phase short circuit and will not restart unless AC power is  
removed. Remove all power from the drive, correct the short circuit and  
restart the drive.  
Communication

How do I configure my EtherCAT manager to operate with the MicroFlex e190?  
An EtherCAT ESI file (.xml) that describes the drive to the EtherCAT manager  
can be uploaded from the controller using the Mint Workbench EtherCAT  
tool.  
I cannot control the MicroFlex e190 from my EtherCAT or Ethernet  
POWERLINK manager  
The drive reference source must be set to allow the EtherCAT or Ethernet  
POWERLINK manager to take control of the MicroFlex e190. There are several  
ways to do this:  
Set the CONTROLREFSOURCESTARTUPparameter to '1' using the Mint  
Workbench Parameter viewer or Command window, save the parameters  
and restart the drive. This gives control to the manager each time the  
MicroFlex e190 starts.  
Set the Control Ref. Source to ‘RT Ethernet (CiA402)’ in the Mint Workbench  
Operating Mode Wizard or Commissioning Wizard.  
Click the Direct button on the Mint Workbench Motion tool bar, and select  
‘RT Ethernet (CiA402)’ in the Axis 0 drop down.  
Confirm that the reference source on all controlled nodes has been set to  
real time Ethernet in the Mint Workbench Operating Mode Wizard, and that  
the master has been configured correctly.  
 
Fault tracing 125  
Dual encoder  
In dual encoder application, a feedback deviation error (10045) will occur if the  
axis exceeds its maximum deviation error limit. For ensure accuracy, an  
incremental calculation period is defined by using the keyword  
POSVELENCODERDEVIATIONCLEARPERIOD. At the beginning of each calculation  
period, the deviation value is initialized to 0 and recalculated.  
If POSVELENCODERDEVIATIONCLEARPERIOD is set to 0, the deviation tracing  
function will be closed, and error 10045 will not be reported.  
The maximum deviation error limit is set with the keyword  
POSVELENCODERDEVIATIONFATAL. The keyword POSVELENCODERDEVIATION  
returns the instantaneous deviation value. So the deviation error occurs when  
the value of POSVELENCODERDEVIATION is greater than the value of  
POSVELENCODERDEVIATIONFATAL.  
The keyword POSVELENCODERDEVIATIONERRORMODEis used to specify the  
default action to be taken in the event of a deviation error. The available modes  
are ‘crash stop and disable’ and ‘error decel as velocity mode’.  
Set POSVELENCODERDEVIATIONERRORMODE(0)=1 to select crash stop and  
disable mode, when a deviation error occurs, the drive will:  
·
·
·
Perform crash stop.  
Call the error event and the error 10045 is generated.  
Be disabled.  
Set POSVELENCODERDEVIATIONERRORMODE(0)=10to select error decel as  
velocity mode, when a deviation error occurs, the drive will:  
·
·
·
·
Switch to velocity mode automatically.  
Call the error event and the error 10045 is generated.  
Stop the motor to zero at the ERRORDECELrate.  
Keep enabled (if no other error occurs) and velocity mode until next  
command.

This error can also occur when  
autotuning a motor connected to  
some types of load. In particular,  
loads with a lot of compliance (e.g.  
belt drives) or torque offsets (e.g.  
gravitational loading) can cause  
problems for autotuning.  
Another cause of the error may be  
because the position feedback is  
noisy, perhaps due to long cables on  
resolver feedback systems, for  
example. In either of these cases, it  
may be necessary to manually tune  
the system using the Fine-tuning tool.

• A common cause of this error is an  
incorrectly wired or set up  
encoder/resolver. Try manually  
moving the rotor and watching the  
position field in the Axis tab. If the  
position does not change, or it  
changes erratically, this indicates a  
problem with the encoder wiring.  
• Run the Test the feedback test  
again. Ideally, the Test the feedback  
test should be run with the motor  
disconnected from the load, although  
it will operate successfully where the  
load is purely inertial or load friction  
is small.  
Note: watch the movement of the  
rotor. For rotary motors, the shaft  
should rotate through just over one  
revolution in one direction followed  
by one revolution in the opposite  
direction. For linear motors, the rotor  
should move through just over one  
pole pitch in one direction followed by  
one pole pitch in the opposite  
direction. If the rotor moves  
significantly more or less than these  
distances, this indicates that the  
number of motor poles is not set  
correctly (rotary motors), or the pole  
pitch is not set correctly (linear  
motors). If the motion during the test  
is not smooth, this indicates that  
friction is high and the test will not be  
able to obtain conclusive results.

What this chapter contains  
This chapter contains preventive maintenance instructions.  
Safety  
WARNING! Read the Safety instructions on the first pages of this manual  
before performing any maintenance on the equipment. Ignoring the  
safety instructions can cause injury or death.  
Maintenance intervals  
If installed in an appropriate environment, the drive requires very little  
maintenance. This table lists the routine maintenance intervals recommended  
by ABB.

See Cooling fan.  
Every 3 years if the ambient  
temperature is higher than 45 °C  
(113 °F).  
Heat sink  
The heat sink fins pick up dust from the cooling air. The drive might report  
overtemperature warnings and faults if the heat sink is not clean. In a normal  
environment, the heat sink should be checked annually, in a dusty environment  
more often.  
WARNING! Obey the instructions in Safety on page 13. Ignoring the  
instructions can cause physical injury or death, or damage to the  
equipment.  
WARNING! Use a vacuum cleaner with an anti-static hose and nozzle. A  
normal vacuum cleaner can cause static discharges which can cause  
damage to circuit boards:  
Clean the heat sink as follows (when necessary):  
1. Stop the drive and disconnect it from input power.  
2. Wait for 5 minutes and measure to make sure that there is no voltage. Refer  
to Electrical safety on page 15.  
3. Remove the cooling fan (see section Cooling fan on page 151).  
4. Blow clean, dry, and oil free compressed air from the bottom of the heat sink  
to the top. Use a vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust. If there is  
a risk that dust can go into other equipment, clean the heat sink in another  
room.  
5. Install the cooling fan.  
 
Maintenance 151  
Cooling fan  
The actual lifespan of the cooling fan depends on the drive usage and ambient  
temperature. Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from fan  
bearings and the gradual rise in the heat sink temperature in spite of heat sink  
cleaning. If the drive is operated in a critical part of a process, fan replacement  
is recommended once these symptoms start appearing. Replacement fans are  
available from ABB. Do not use other than ABB-specified spare parts.  
Removing the fan  
Place the drive on its side as shown. Push in the two retaining clips (1) at the  
back of the drive. Remove the base (2) by pulling on the top edge first.  
Disconnect the fan cable (3). Carefully bend the clips on the fan holder (4) to  
release the fan.

Replacing the fan  
Insert the new fan (1) ensuring the airflow direction is bottom-to-top. Route the  
wire through the retaining clip and connect the cable to the circuit board (2).  
Insert the front edge of the base into the front panel (3). Apply outward  
pressure at the centre of the base and simultaneously push the fan into the  
drive (4). Check that the plastic lug fits into the recess in the heat sink (5). Check  
that the fan cable has not moved or obstructed the encoder voltage switch (6,  
see page 84 to check the correct position). Check that the retaining clips are  
fitted into the mounting plate (7).

Reforming the capacitors  
Overview of the reforming  
ElectrolyticDC capacitorsin theservodriveDClinkneedtobe reformed (re-aged)if  
the drive has been non-operational for a year or more. The reforming time  
depends on how long the drive has been non-operational.  
Without reforming, the capacitors can get damaged when the drive starts to  
operate.  
Besides the reforming methods presented in this manual, ABB can supply you  
with ready-made reforming devices. For more information, contact your local  
ABB representative.  
Reforming time  
The intermediate circuit (DC link) of the drive is connected to its nominal  
voltage for the reforming time to “wake up” the capacitors. The diagram below  
shows the required reforming time.  
If the drive has been non-operational for less than one year, the capacitors  
do not need reforming.  
If the drive has been stocked (non-operational) for one to two years, it can  
be reformed with power on for 30 minutes method. See section Reforming  
If the drivehas been stocked (non-operational) for moretwo years, it can be  
reformed using the method in section Reforming with external DC power  
     
154 Maintenance  
Checking the drive age  
The serial number (S/N) defines the year and the week when the drive was  
manufactured:  
The 2nd and 3rd digits indicate the year of manufacture.  
The 4th and 5th digits indicate the week.  
See page 33 for information on finding out the manufacturing date.  
For example, in S/N W195260084, 19 denotes manufacturing year (2019), 52  
denotes manufacturing week.  
Reforming with power on for 30 minutes  
This method can be used for capacitor reforming if the drive has been stocked  
(non-operational) for one to two years.  
1. Switch the power on to the drive for 30 minutes.  
2. Do not load the drive while the reforming is ongoing.  
The drive “wakes up” its capacitors on its own, after which it is ready for use.  
Reforming with external DC power supply  
This method can be used for capacitor reforming if the drive has been stocked  
(non-operational) for two years or longer.  
WARNING! Obey the safety instructions in section Safety on page 13. If you  
ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.  
Never switch on the drive power supply while the reforming circuit is connected.  
Lock the disconnector (if any) to an open position.  
1. Make sure that the drive is disconnected from all possible power sources (all  
AC and DC inputs/outputs are disconnected).  
2. Measure that the installation is de-energized:  
Use a multimeter with an impedance of at least 1 MΩ.  
Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (L1,  
L2 and L3) and the grounding terminal (PE) is close to 0 V.  
Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+ and  
UDC-) and the grounding terminal (PE) is close to 0 V.  
3. Make this reforming circuit and connect it to the DC terminals of the drive.  
4. Switch on the reforming circuit for the time defined in section Reforming time  
on page 153.  
     
Maintenance 155  
Note: Limit the reforming current to max. 200 mA. If the DC power supply does  
not have an adjustable current limiter, increase the voltage gradually from 0 V  
to 400 V.  
WARNING! The capacitors can get damaged if you use excessive DC  
voltage during the reforming.  
5. Switch off the reforming circuit.  
6. Wait for 5 minutes to let the DC capacitors discharge.  
7. Measure that the voltage of the DC terminals of the drive is close to 0 V.  
8. Disconnect the reforming circuit from the drive.  
156 Maintenance  
Reforming with another e190 drive  
This method can be used for capacitor reforming if the drive has been stocked  
(non-operational) for two years or longer and only external AC power supply can  
be provided.  
WARNING! Obey the safety instructions in section Safety on page 13. If you  
ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.  
Never switch on the drive power supply while the reforming circuit is connected.  
Lock the disconnector (if any) to an open position.  
1. Make sure that the drive is disconnected from all possible power sources (all  
AC and DC inputs/outputs are disconnected).  
2. Measure that the installation is de-energized:  
Use a multimeter with an impedance of at least 1 MΩ.  
Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (L1,  
L2 and L3) and the grounding terminal (PE) is close to 0 V.  
Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+ and  
UDC-) and the grounding terminal (PE) is close to 0 V.  
3. Make this reforming circuit and connect it to the DC terminals of the drive.  
As shown below, the another normal operational e190 needs to be connected to  
AC power supply (1-phase or 3-phase) to provide DC power supply to the drive  
which need to be reformed.  
 
Maintenance 157  
4. Switch on the AC power supply of the reforming circuit for the time defined  
in section Reforming time on page 153.  
5. Switch off and disconnect the AC power supply of the reforming circuit.  
6. Wait for 5 minutes to let the DC capacitors discharge.  
7. Measure that the voltage of the DC terminals of the drive is close to 0 V.  
8. Disconnect the reforming circuit from the drive.  
158 Maintenance  
Other maintenance actions  
Transferring the memory unit to a new drive  
When a drive is replaced, the parameter settings can be retained by transferring  
the memory unit from the defective drive to the new.

Mains filters  
What this chapter contains  
This chapter describes how to select and install mains filters for the  
MicroFlex e190. The chapter also contains the relevant technical data.  
When is a mains filter required?  
The EMC product standard (EN 61800-3) covers the specific EMC requirements  
stated for drives (tested with motor and cable) within the EU. EMC standards  
such as EN 55011 or EN 61000-6-3/4 apply to industrial and household  
equipment and systems including drive components inside. Drive units  
complying with the requirements of EN 61800-3 are always compliant with  
comparable categories in EN 55011 and EN 61000-6-3/4, but not necessarily  
vice versa. EN 55011 and EN 61000-6-3/4 do neither specify cable length nor  
require a motor to be connected as a load. The emission limits are comparable  
according to the following table.

180 Mains filters  
A mains filter is required in order for MicroFlex e190 to meet the category C2  
level, using a motor with a max. 30 m cable. This level corresponds to the A  
limits for Group 1 equipment according to EN 55011.  
WARNING! A mains filter must not be installed if the drive is connected to  
an IT power system (i.e. an ungrounded, or a high resistance grounded  
[over 30 Ω] power system).  
Footprint filter (single phase only)  
The single-phase footprint AC power filter, part OFI-01, provides mounting  
holes for the MicroFlex e190. This allows the filter and MicroFlex e190 to use  
minimal panel mounting space.

Mains filters 181  
Installation guidelines  
If a mains choke is also installed, the mains filter is connected between the  
mains choke and the drive. See the diagram below.  
For optimal operation of the filter, the drive and the filter must be mounted  
on the same conductive surface.  
Ensure the filter does not block the airflow through the drive.  
Keep the cable between the drive and the filter as short as possible.  
Connect the filter grounding cable to the protective earth (PE) point of the  
drive. The PE point is located on the top panel of the drive.

Resistor braking  
What this chapter contains  
This chapter contains information about calculating the regenerative power  
created by the motor when it decelerates or is driven by the load. The chapter  
then describes the process for selecting an appropriate resistor to dissipate  
the regenerative power.  
WARNING! Electrical shock hazard. DC-bus voltages can be present at the  
brake resistor terminals. Use a suitable heat sink (with fan if necessary) to  
cool the brake resistor. The brake resistor and heat sink (if present) can reach  
temperatures in excess of 80 °C (176 °F).  
     
186 Resistor braking  
Introduction  
Each drive has a braking capacity that defines the amount of regenerative  
energy its DC bus capacitors can store before the voltage on the capacitors  
exceeds the drive’s over-voltage level. In a common DC system, all of the drive’s  
DC bus capacitors are connected, so the system braking capacity becomes the  
sum of all the drives’ braking capacities. If the total regenerative energy in the  
system exceeds the system braking capacity, the excess energy must be  
diverted into a brake resistor (also known as a regeneration or ‘regen’ resistor)  
to be dissipated as heat. The brake resistor can be connected to one drive in the  
system, but if that drive’s braking chopper cannot withstand the total  
regenerative power in the system, more than one drive must be fitted with a  
brake resistor.  
System braking capacity  
The braking capacity of the drive is calculated from the following formula:  
B
= 0.5 x DC bus capacitance x ((Brake switching threshold)2 – ( 2 x Supply voltage)2  
)
dc  
where the Brake switching threshold is 388 V. This gives the following typical  
values:

Resistor braking 187  
Braking energy calculation  
The following calculations can be used to estimate the type of brake resistor  
that will be required for the application. To complete the calculation, some  
basic information is required. Remember to use the worst-case values to ensure  
that the braking power is not underestimated. For example, use the maximum  
possible motor speed, maximum inertia, minimum deceleration time and  
minimum cycle time that the application might encounter.  
Requirement  
Enter value here  
a) Initial motor speed, before decelera-  
tion begins, in radians per second.   
Initial motor speed, U = _________ rad/s  
Multiply RPM by 0.1047 to give radians  
per second.  
b) Final motor speed after deceleration  
is complete, in radians per second.   
Final motor speed, V = _________ rad/s  
Multiply RPM by 0.1047 to get radians  
per second. This value will be zero if the  
load is going to be stopped.  
c) The deceleration time from initial  
speed to final speed, in seconds.

Cycle time, C

d) The total cycle time (i.e. how fre-  
quently the process is repeated), in  
seconds.  
e) Total inertia.  
This is the total inertia seen by the drive,  
accounting for motor inertia, load inertia  
and gearing. Use the Mint Workbench  
Autotune tool to tune the motor, with the  
load attached, to determine the value.  
This will be displayed in kg·m2 in the  
Autotune tool. If you already know the  
motor inertia (from the motor spec.) and  
the load inertia (by calculation) insert the  
total here.

188 Resistor braking  
Braking energy  
The braking energy to be dissipated, E, is the difference between the initial  
energy in the system (before deceleration begins) and the final energy in the  
system (after deceleration has finished). If the system is brought to rest then  
the final energy is zero.  
The energy of a rotating object is given by the formula:  
1
2
2
--  
E = J    
where E is energy, J is the moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity.   
The braking energy, which is the difference between the initial energy and the  
final energy, is therefore:

Calculate the braking energy for the motor. If the value is less than the system  
braking capacity B , calculated on page 186, a brake resistor will not be  
dc  
required.  
Braking power and average power  
The braking power, P  
, is the rate at which the braking energy is  
gen,max  
dissipated. This rate is defined by the deceleration period, D (see page 186). The  
shorter the deceleration period, the greater the braking power.

The brake resistors shown in the table on page 189 can withstand brief  
overloads, but the average power dissipation must not exceed the stated  
continuous power rating. The average power dissipation is determined by the  
proportion of the application cycle time spent braking. The greater the  
   
Resistor braking 189  
proportion of time spent braking, the greater the average power dissipation.  
This average value can be used to represent an equivalent continuous braking  
power, where C is the cycle time (see page 187):

Encoder breakout OPT-MF-200  
The encoder breakout (part OPT-MF-200) can be used to connect motor  
feedback and an extra incremental encoder (see page 82). Alternatively, the  
connectors can be used together to connect a single motor that has separate  
cables for encoder and Halls (e.g. a linear motor).

Resolver adapter OPT-MF-201  
The resolver adapter (OPT-MF-201) allows a motor with resolver feedback to be  
connected to the MicroFlex e190. The MicroFlex e190 must be power-cycled  
after connecting the resolver adapter. The resolver adapter sends an absolute  
position to the MicroFlex e190 at startup, so a phase search is not required. In  
Mint Workbench, select a resolver motor in the Drive Setup Wizard. The wizard’s  
Feedback page will show the feedback type as Resolver Adapter. The resolver  
adapter can be used in conjunction with the encoder breakout (OPT-MF-200).  
Resolver adapter specifications  
Excitation frequency: 10 kHz  
Maximum input speed: 60000 rpm (2 pole resolver)  
Output resolution: 12-bit  
Accuracy: +/-11 arc minutes  
Resolver requirements  
When selecting the resolver, you must connect it to the OPT-MF-201 adapter  
(see Quick installation guide for more detail). The specification of this allows for  
a resolver which satisfies the following criteria:  
2 x Sin / Cos pairs (2 pole resolver)  
Winding ratio 0.5

Note: These are the key characteristics to be used when deciding if the resolver  
is compatible or not.  
Further information on the resolver adapter can be found below:

Option card OPT-SIO-1  
The option card can provides:  
1 general purpose analog input  
6 general purpose digital inputs  
4 general purpose digital outputs  
1 RS485/ RS422 serial port  
One analog input with a 12-bit resolution receives a wide range from -10V to  
+10V.  
Six digital input channels are divided into 2 groups. Each group is powered by  
separate external power supply and allows the input signal to be connected  
with either polarity. All digital outputs share one common external power  
supply and the maximum voltage across the outputs when active is 30VDC.  
Serial port supports 4-wire or 2-wire connections. DIP switch SW2 is used for  
connecting terminal resistor.  
See OPT-SIO-1 option card user’s manual (code:3AXD50000351336) for details.  
Note: The firmware build version that supports the option card is MicroFlex

Appendix: The Safe Torque  
Off (STO) function  
Contents of this chapter  
The appendix describes the Safe torque off (STO) function for the servo drive  
and gives instructions for its use. In addition, application features and technical  
data for the safety system calculation are presented.  
Description  
The STO function disables the control voltage of the power semiconductors of  
the drive output stage, which prevents the drive generating the voltage  
required to rotate the motor (see diagrams in section Wiring). By using this  
function, short-time operations (like cleaning) and/or maintenance work on  
non-electrical parts of the machinery can be performed without switching off  
the power supply to the drive.  
The STO function has a redundant architecture, that is, both channels must be  
used in the safety function implementation. The safety data given in this  
manual is calculated for redundant use, and does not apply if both channels are  
not used.  
The STO function complies with these standards:

Wiring  
For information on the specifications of the STO input, see section Safety data  
(page 225).  
Activation switch  
In the wiring diagrams below, the activation switch represents a component  
such as a manually operated switch, an emergency stop push button switch, or  
the contacts of a safety relay or safety PLC.  
If a manually operated activation switch is used, the switch must be of a  
type that can be locked out to the open position.  
The STO inputs must be switched on/off within 200 ms of each other.  
Cable types and lengths  
Double-shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended.  
Maximum cable length 30 m (98 ft) between activation switch and the drive.  
Note: A short-circuit in the wiring between the switch and an STO terminal  
causes a dangerous fault. Therefore, it is recommended to use a safety relay  
(including wiring diagnostics), or a wiring method (shield grounding, channel  
separation) which reduces or eliminates the risk caused by the short-circuit.  
Note: The voltage at each channel of STO input terminal X4 must be at least 13 V  
DC to be interpreted as “1”. The pulse tolerance of the input channels is 1 ms.  
Grounding of protective shields  
Ground the shield in the cabling between the activation switch and the  
control unit at the control unit only.  
Ground the shield in the cabling between two control units at one control  
unit only.

Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function 211  
Operation principle  
The Safe Torque Off connector is X4 on MicroFlex e190 drives.  
Connection principles are shown in the diagrams in section Wiring on page 205.  
See section STO technical data on page 228 for the cable specification and  
possible safety relay types.  
1. The wiring to each STO input must be routed separately.  
2. Wiring the STO inputs in accordance with the diagrams provides Safety  
Integrity Level 3 (SIL3). It is not permissible to control both STO inputs from  
one safety circuit, as this does not provide SIL3 protection.  
3. The Safe Torque Off (STO) function provides a stop function equivalent to  
‘stop category 0’ according to EN 60204-1.  
4. The STO element is classified as type A, according to EN 61508-2.  
Connected components  
Ensure that all components controlling the STO inputs, including cabling, do not  
cause the STO inputs to become constantly powered (a ‘dangerous failure’) or  
constantly unpowered (a ‘safe failure’).  
Diagnostic pulses produced by Safe Digital Output devices are not recognized  
by the MicroFlex e190, and will not activate the STO function provided they have  
a period of less than 1 ms.  
Short circuit testing  
Short circuit conditions on the STO inputs must be tested within the proof test  
interval.  
Power supply  
It is recommended to use the 24 V DC supply provided on pin 4 of connector X4.  
This supply is derived from the bus voltage (if present) or from the optional 24 V  
logic supply on connector X2 (if present).  
If an external 24 V DC power supply is connected to X4 it must fulfill the  
following criteria:  
It must be a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) supply.  
It must be suitable for the desired safe application and safety integrity level.  
It must be protected against over voltages.  
It must limit the output voltage under all fault conditions <60V.  
It must be TüV certified to EN 60950.  
       
212 Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function  
Drive enable input  
If an additional hardware ‘drive enable’ input is used to control the drive, it must  
not be wired as part of the STO input circuit.  
 
Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function 213  
Start-up including validation test  
To ensure the safe operation of a safety function, validation is required. The  
final assembler of the machine must validate the function by performing a  
validation test. The validation test must be performed:  
by an authorized person  
at initial start-up of the safety function  
after any changes related to the safety function (wiring, components,  
settings, etc.)  
after any maintenance work related to the safety function  
after a drive firmware update  
at the proof test interval, T  
1
Competence  
The validation test of the safety function must be carried out by a competent  
person with adequate expertise and knowledge of the safety function as well as  
functional safety, as required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6. The test procedures and  
report must be documented and signed by this person.  
Validation test reports  
Signed validation test reports must be stored in the logbook of the machine.  
The report shall include documentation of start-up activities and test results,  
references to failure reports and resolution of failures. Any new validation tests  
performed due to changes or maintenance shall be recorded in the logbook.  
Preliminary checks  
Before powering the drive, check:  
Grounding has been properly connected.  
Energy sources have been properly connected and are operational.  
Transportation stops and packing materials have been removed.  
No physical damage is present.  
All instruments have been properly calibrated.  
All field devices are operational.  
Interfaces are operational.  
Interfaces to other systems and peripherals are operational.  
       
214 Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function  
Validation test procedure  
After wiring the Safe torque off function, validate its operation as follows.  
Action  
WARNING! Obey the safety instructions. If you ignore them, injury or  
death, or damage to the equipment can occur.  
Ensure that the drive can be run and stopped freely during the commissioning.  
Stop the drive (if running), switch off the input power and isolate the drive from  
the power line by a disconnector.  
Check the STO circuit connections against the circuit diagram.  
Check that the shield of the STO input cable is grounded to the drive frame.  
Close the disconnector and switch on the power.  
Test the operation of the STO function when the motor is stopped:  
Disable the drive and ensure the motor shaft is not rotating.  
Activate the STO function (remove power from the STO inputs) and attempt  
to enable the drive.  
Ensure that the drive can not be enabled (see section Use on page 216.)  
Deactivate the STO function (apply power to the STO inputs).  
Test the operation of the STO function when the motor is running:  
Enable the drive and start motion. Ensure the motor is rotating.  
Activate the STO function (remove power from the STO inputs).  
Ensure that the drive disables and the motor stops rotating.  
Attempt to enable the drive.  
Ensure that the drive can not be enabled (see section Use on page 216.)  
Deactivate the STO circuit (apply power to the STO inputs).  
Document and sign the validation test report which verifies that the safety  
function is safe and accepted to operation.  
 
Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function 215  
Restarting the drive  
Restarting the drive is not part of the STO test or certification processes, but is  
included here for convenience.  
Action  
Deactivate the STO circuit (apply power to the STO inputs).  
If the drive holds a Mint program, or is connected to an Ethernet master device that  
can enable the drive, it is possible for the drive to restart and begin to control the  
motor without further intervention. If the drive does not hold a Mint program, some of  
the following actions are necessary, depending on the installation:  
Activate the additional drive enable input (if present).  
In Mint Workbench (if connected), click the Clear errors button on the System  
toolbar, followed by the Drive Enable button on the Motion toolbar.  
Enable the drive from the Ethernet master device (if connected).  
 
216 Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function  
Use  
1. Open the activation switch, or activate the safety functionality that is wired to  
the STO connection.  
2. The STO inputs on the drive control unit de-energize, and the control unit cuts  
off the control voltage from the output IGBTs.  
3.The control program generates an indication, see section STO status  
indications (page 218).  
4. The motor coasts to a stop (if running). The drive will not restart while the  
activation switch or safety relay contacts are open.  
5. Deactivate the STO by closing the activation switch, or resetting the safety  
functionality that is wired to the STO connection.  
6. Reset any faults before restarting.  
WARNING! The STO function does not disconnect the voltage of the main  
and auxiliary circuits from the drive. Therefore maintenance work on  
electrical parts of the drive or the motor can only be carried out after isolating  
the drive from the supply and all other voltage sources. If the drive was  
connected to the input power, wait for 5 minutes after disconnecting the input  
power.  
Hardware activation of the STO function  
The drive contains two STO inputs. If both STO inputs are powered, the STO  
function is in the standby state and the drive operates normally.  
If power is removed from one or both of the STO inputs, the STO function is  
activated. The drive motor output power stage is disabled. Enabling is possible  
only after both STO inputs have been powered, and all the faults have been  
cleared.  
Firmware monitoring of the STO function  
STO function activation  
The firmware detects when the STO function is activated and will generates the  
‘STO active’ error (10033) if the drive is enabled. The drive can be enabled again  
only after all the faults have been cleared.  
STO input states  
The state of the STO inputs are monitored by the firmware. The state of the  
STO inputs are stored in a hardware register within the drive. The register is  
monitored by the drive over a period specified by the STOINPUTMISMATCHTIME  
Mint keyword (the default value is 100ms). If the inputs are in different states  
     
Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function 217  
after the specified period has elapsed, the ‘STO input mismatch’ error (10035) is  
generated.  
WARNING! The drive cannot detect or memorize any changes in the STO  
circuitry when the drive control unit is not powered. If both STO circuits  
are closed and a level-type start signal is active when the power is restored, it is  
possible that the drive starts without a fresh start command. Take this into  
account in the risk assessment of the system.  
Software monitoring of the STO function  
The drive can be programmed using the Mint language. The software  
application Mint Workbench is available for configuring, programming and  
monitoring the status of the drive. The SAFETORQUEOFFMint keyword can be  
used to report the status of the STO hardware registers. SAFETORQUEOFF  
contains an array of values indicating the states of the STO channel 1 and STO  
channel 2, the internal STO status output and the internal STO fault latch. This  
array is described in the following table:  
Parameter  
Meaning  
The combined state of the two STO inputs:  
STO1 = bit 0, STO2 = bit 1  
SAFETORQUEOFF(0)  
0 = not powered, 1 = powered  
The state of STO1 input:  
0 = not powered, 1 = powered  
The state of STO2 input:  
0 = not powered, 1 = powered  
The state of the internal STO status output:  
0 = fault, 1 = no fault  
The latch state of the internal STO status output:  
0 = fault, latched, 1 = no fault, not latched  
The latched value (0) can not be cleared until the drive is  
enabled.

Monitoring the delay between the STO inputs  
The STO function monitors the switching time difference between the STO  
inputs. See Use on page 216.  
STO function activation and indication delays  
Hardware activation delay (the delay between removing power from an STO  
input and switching off the drive output bridge): <50 ms.  
Hardware indication delay (the delay between switching off the drive output  
bridge and being indicated to the Mint program): <50 ms.  
Software STO indication delay, Mint program (the delay between a mismatch  
occurring on the STO inputs and being indicated to the Mint program): <200 ms  
user defined period, set by STOINPUTMISMATCHTIME.  
Special considerations for using the STO function  
Drive location  
The MicroFlex e190 and all associated STO wiring must be installed in an indoor  
location. The MicroFlex e190 must be installed in a cabinet. The suitability of the  
cabinet for the intended environment must be determined by the installer. See  
Ambient conditions on page 169 for further details.  
Hazard analysis  
A hazard analysis of the application should be performed before using the STO  
function in the application.  
     
220 Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function  
Additional stopping methods  
It is not recommended to stop the drive by using the STO function. If a running  
drive is stopped by using the function, the drive trips and stops by coasting. If  
this is not acceptable e.g. causes danger, the drive and machinery must be  
stopped using the appropriate stopping mode before using this function. For  
example, suspended or tensioned loads (e.g. cranes, hoists) will require  
additional brakes or mechanical interlocks.  
IGBT failure  
If a permanent magnet motor drive experiences multiple power semiconductor  
failure, the drive system can produce an alignment torque which maximally  
rotates the motor shaft by 180/p degrees (p = pole pair number), even if the  
STO function has been correctly activated.  
Failure of one or more IGBTs can cause the drive output to fail due to:  
IGBT desaturation protection causing all IGBTs to be stopped.  
Rupture of the AC input fuse.  
Terminology  
‘Active’ or ‘activated’ means that the STO function has been triggered. This  
removes power from the motor and disables the drive. The drive cannot be  
restarted without further operator intervention.  
‘Standby’ means that the STO function has not been triggered. The drive can  
power the motor, provided all other criteria are satisfied to allow motor  
operation.  
Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function 221  
Maintenance  
After the operation of the circuit is validated at start-up, the STO function shall  
be maintained by periodic proof testing. In high demand mode of operation, the  
maximum proof test interval is 20 years. In low demand mode of operation, the  
maximum proof test interval is 5 or 2 years; see section Safety data (page 225). It  
is assumed that all dangerous failures of the STO circuit are detected by the  
proof test. To perform the proof test, do the Validation test procedure (page 214).  
Note: See also the Recommendation of Use CNB/M/11.050 (published by the  
European co-ordination of Notified Bodies) concerning dual-channel safety-  
related systems with electromechanical outputs:  
When the safety integrity requirement for the safety function is SIL 3 or PL e  
(cat. 3 or 4), the proof test for the function must be performed at least every  
month.  
The STO input terminals do not need any maintenance. Maintain the drive  
according to the instructions given in this manual.  
The exchange of safety related systems or subsystems must be performed only  
in a powerless condition.  
The STO function does not contain any electromechanical components.  
In addition to proof testing, it is a good practice to check the operation of the  
function when other maintenance procedures are carried out on the machinery.  
Include the STO operation tests described in Special considerations for using the  
STO function on page 219 in the routine maintenance program of the machinery  
to which the drive is connected.  
If any wiring or component change is needed after start up, or the parameters  
are restored, do the test given in section Validation test procedure (page 214).  
Use only spare parts approved by ABB.  
Record all maintenance and proof test activities in the machine logbook.  
Competence  
The maintenance and proof test activities of the safety function must be carried  
out by a competent person with adequate expertise and knowledge of the  
safety function as well as functional safety, as required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6.  
   
222 Appendix: The Safe Torque Off (STO) function  
Fault tracing  
The diagnostics of the STO function cross-compare the status of the two STO  
channels. In case the channels are not in the same state, a fault reaction  
function is performed and the drive trips on an “STO hardware failure” fault. An  
attempt to use the STO in a non-redundant manner, for example activating only  
one channel, will trigger the same reaction.  
Any failure of the STO function must be reported to ABB.  
Error messages generated by the drive  
When an error occurs, the drive displays the error  
code on its front panel 7 segment display. The  
symbol E is displayed, followed by the digits of the  
error code in sequence.  
For example, error code 10033 is displayed as  
E....1..0..0..3..3.   
Additionally, the right decimal point is illuminated  
for any STO error.  
STO error  
The STO errors are listed in the following table.  
Note: The STO function is activated when one or both of the safety circuit  
contacts open. If the period between both contacts opening or closing exceeds  
a predefined value (defined by the STOINPUTMISMATCHTIMEMint keyword) a  
fault in the safety circuit or wiring is assumed and an error is reported. The  
maximum allowed cable length between the drive and the activation switch is  
30 m (98 ft).

Decommissioning  
Before decommissioning any safety system from active service:  
Evaluate the impact of decommissioning on adjacent operating units and  
facilities or other field services.  
Conduct a proper review and obtain required authorization.  
Ensure that the safety functions remain appropriate during  
decommissioning activities.  
Implement appropriate change management procedures for all  
decommissioning activities.

The following temperature profile is used in safety value calculations:  
670 on/off cycles per year with ΔT = 71.66 °C  
1340 on/off cycles per year with ΔT = 61.66 °C  
30 on/off cycles per year with ΔT = 10.0 °C  
32 °C board temperature at 2.0% of time  
60 °C board temperature at 1.5% of time  
85 °C board temperature at 2.3% of time.  
The STO is a type A safety component as defined in IEC 61508-2.  
Relevant failure modes:  
The STO trips spuriously (safe failure)  
The STO does not activate when requested  
A fault exclusion on the failure mode “short circuit on printed circuit board”  
has been made (EN 13849-2, table D.5). The analysis is based on an  
assumption that one failure occurs at one time. No accumulated failures  
have been analyzed.  
STO reaction time (shortest detectable break): 1 ms  
STO response time: 5 ms (typical), 10 ms (maximum)  
Fault detection time: Channels in different states for longer than 200 ms  
Fault reaction time: Fault detection time + 10 ms  
STO fault indication delay: < 500 ms  
STO warning indication delay: < 1000 ms

IEC 61508-6 Proof test interval. T1 is a parameter used to define  
the probabilistic failure rate (PFH or PFD) for the  
safety function or subsystem. Performing a proof  
test at a maximum interval of T1 is required to keep  
the SIL capability valid. The same interval must be  
followed to keep the PL capability (EN ISO 13849)  
valid.
