1. Introduction
Due to its construction, the rotational speed of a 3-phase AC motor is directly dependent on the
number of poles and the frequency of the network. In case of a 3PH 50Hz network and a 2-pole
motor, the nominal speed would be 50 rps * 60 = 3000 rpm.
In case of BLDC motors (brushless dc), the speed is directly dependent on the voltage applied.
3-phase AC motors provide numerous benefits in industry, such as brushless operation, freedom
from wear and tear, favourable capacity/weight ratio, high-speed capability, and much more.
These motors can be used many different application areas, such as milling and grinding
spindles, or with drilling machinery, for example.

5. Safety-Precautions and Warnings
•This device produces dangerous electrical voltages and is used for the operation of dangerous
moving mechanical parts. For this reason, only professionally trained and qualified personnel
should be allowed to install and repair this device!
•The operation with disconnected PE connection is not allowed.
•Any maintenance or repair work to the device must only be carried out after the supply voltage
has been disconnected!
•Before the first commissioning can be carried out, it should be established that the motor is
installed correctly and securely, to eliminate the possibility of uncontrolled movement of the
motor.
•Safety regulations that are valid for the country where the device is used, have to be adhered to
where any work is carried out on the device.
•Maintaining EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) limits is the responsibility of the manufacturer of
the machine or device. The inputs and outputs on this device are fitted with filters, to increase the
interference immunity and reduce emitted interference, making it possible to use this device in an
industrial environment.
•The EMC of a machine or device is affected by all connected components (motor spindle, length
and type of cables, wiring, etc). Under certain conditions the use of additional filters can be
necessary to maintain the current laws.
•For the reasons listed above, installation and connection of the device should be carried out by
qualified personnel only.
6. Connections, Interfaces and Pinouts
For embedding into PLC and controls the SFU0303 has several input and outputs.
These are realized as pluggable screw terminals and lead out at front and rear panel (depending
on case option). All contacts are separated galvanically from high voltage carrying circuits.
Operational parameters and outputs:
The SFU-0303 covers all current important operational parameters and operating data.
Up to 6 digital outputs can be used for signalling and up to 2 analogue values can be output to
the analogue outputs (0-10V) .
Remote Control and Outputs:
6 digital inputs (24V) and 2 analogue inputs (0-10V) are available for remote control of the
SFU-0303.
These assignments can be configured freely. By using the optional Windows PC software "SFU-
Terminal" the above mentioned assignments can be achieved easily, providing exceptional
flexibility with each application.
Each operating parameter can be assigned as a signal and each control signal can be allocated
the required I/O pin. In addition, the logic level (high or low active) can be individually defined.
The same assignment is also possible for the analogue measured data and control data at the
analogue I/O pin.
The standard allocations of operational parameters, their outputs, control signals and inputs, are
listed in the following tables.

7.2 Starting of the Converter and Power Stage Pulse Lock
Spindle Characteristics
All converters of BMR need an information about the basic data of the spindle, such as maximum
voltage, current, rotational speed, and many more. These are stored in so called "spindle
characteristics". A BMR spindle characteristic has 16 setpoints within the range of the rotational
speed. At every point data of voltage, current, load scaling, acceleration and deceleration ramp and
many more data can be defined and this for idle load as well as for full load. And there are in total 16
places for different characteristics. The spindle characteristics are the key for any spindle and give a
possibility to control the running behavior at every load condition.
In advance of start of a spindle first, it has to be ensured, that the proper characteristic is selected and
activated. This is generally the case if the device is delivered together with a spindle and the required
setup is done. If the converter and spindle are delivered separately, the proper spindle characteristic
has to be loaded into the converter first. This can be achieved with the free setup software SFU-
Terminal, easily.
In case of being unsure, characteristics for most common spindles are available at BMR.
Start and Stop
There are different possibilities for starting and stopping SFU0303, due to many different
requirements, as follows below:
Generally, a STOP can be triggered by the source of START, with the exception of an Emergency
Stop, activated Intermediate voltage lock or any other safety function.
- Start button at operating panel, Rotational speed with encoder potentiometer
- Pure serial control with commands via USB / RS232 / RS485 / Profibus interface
- Digital input in combination with an activated analogue input for control of rotational speed.
In case of not being activated, the rotational speed is setup with encoder poti on operating
panel or via serial commands.
Power Stage Pulse Lock
Precondition for proper starting is a released power stage pulse lock (Bridge X2.2 – X2.10), as well as
a proper characteristic for the connected spindle.
The converter of the 0303 series are equipped with an safety power stage pulse locking circuit which
has to be wired properly for operation. For activating the power stage a voltage with carrying a high
signal should be applied to digital input 2 / PIN2. The voltage can be fed from PIN10. So, easy as
possible simply a bridge between PIN2 and PIN10 will do this. The feedback signal about the status is
displayed on the operating panel, if equipped, on LED6 and on relay output 6 at connector X3.
Attention! Without this connection the converter cannot be started.
The power stage pulse lock is realized according the requirements of EN954-1 Category 3 for safe
stop of drives. (-> Chap 8.7) +24V: Power Stage released 0V: Power Stage locked.
Status
The current status of the converter is displayed on the status LED display and with mounted operating
panel the status is displayed in plaintext on the LCD-display, additionally.
