1. About this manual
1.1. Equipment covered by this manual
This manual covers a standard drive and provides generic information on the drive. The manual
does not claim to cover all variations and details of the drive, nor to consider all eventualities
that may arise during installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the drive.
If the drive is adapted to specific customer needs or applications, and handling, installation and
operation of the drive are affected by these modifications, information on these modifications
is provided in the appropriate documentation (eg, layout drawings, wiring diagrams, technical
data, engineering notes).
If information is required beyond the instructions in this manual, refer the matter to ABB.
1.2. Structure of the user documentation
The documentation for a standard drive consists of this document and the following project-
specific appendices.
NOTE – These appendices are NOT included in this document.
–Appendix A - Additional manuals provides manuals about additional equipment delivered
with the drive (such as project-specific options such as pulse encoder or fieldbus
interfaces), or information on modifications of the standard drive.
–Appendix B - Technical data contains the technical data sheets of the drive.
–Appendix C - Mechanical drawings provides the outline drawings of the drive. The drawings
are generated according to the customer-specific project.
–Appendix D - Wiring diagrams contains the circuit diagrams with information on device
identification, cross-reference and device identification conventions. The diagrams are
generated according to the customer-specific project.
“Setting of protective devices” is generated according to the customer-specific project.
–Appendix E - Parts list produced for each project and contains all information to identify a
component.
–Appendix F - Test reports and certificates provides the test reports of the drive. Quality
certificates, and codes and standards the drive complies with are added if necessary for the
project.
–Appendix G - Signal and parameter table includes descriptions of actual signals, control
and status words, and control parameters and their default settings.
