formation and advise to commission the
drive. If three phase DCF 500B field
supply units are needed please use the
same documents as for DCS 500B ar-
mature converters.
As additional documentation is avail-
able:
The System description describes the
functionality of DCS 500 converter units
as well as the cooperation of all single
components belonging to a complete
drive system.
DCS 500 Technical Data giving infor-
mation about all direct technical data for
components used inside and outside
the converter module.
The above mentioned documents are
usually delivered together with all or-
dered converter units of the DCS 500
family and represent the basic knowl-
edge which is essential for all users of
this product.

For those, who want to reprogram or
adapt the software of their drive a de-
tailed comprehensive description of the
software structure of the drive as well
as of all available function blocks can
be delivered. This documentation is
only available as data file in English
language.
As separate document for service engi-
neers a DCS 500 Service Manual can
be ordered .
Engineering and design people for drive
systems can get a separate collection
of information with regard to installation,
sizing, fusing etc. of DC drives called
"Technical guide".

DCS 500B / DCP 500B Operating Instructions

Safety Instructions
DCS 500B / DCP 500B Operating Instructions i
Overview This chapter contains safety instructions which must be complied
with during installation, operation and maintenance of the power
converters series DCS 500B / DCF 500B or DCP 500B. If these in-
structions are not complied with, this may result in injuries (perhaps
even with fatal) or in damage to the power converter, the motor and
the driven machine. Before starting with any work whatsoever at or
with this unit, you must read the information given in this chapter.
Warnings Warnings provide information on states which if the specified pro-
cedure for the state concerned is not meticulously complied with
may result in a serious error, in major damage to the unit, in injury
to persons and even in death.
They are identified by the following symbols:
Danger: High Voltage! This symbol warns you of
high voltages which may result in injuries to persons
and/or damage to equipment. Where appropriate, the
text printed adjacent to this symbol describes how
risks of this kind may be avoided.
●All electrical installation and maintenance work on the thyristor
power converter must be carried out by properly qualified staff
who have been thoroughly trained in electrical engineering.
●The thyristor power converter and its adjacent units must be
properly earthed by qualified professionals.
●You must NEVER perform any work on the thyristor power con-
verter while it is still switched on. First switch the unit off, use a
measuring instrument to make absolutely sure that the power
converter has really been de-energized, and only then you may
start with the work concerned.
●Due to external control circuits, there may be dangerously high
voltages present at the thyristor power converter even after the
line voltage has been switched off. So always work at the unit
with appropriate caution! Non-compliance with these instructions
may result in injury (or even death!).
