2.1. Safety
2.1.1. Safety note
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous whenever connected to mains.
Incorrect installation of the motor, frequency converter or fieldbus may cause dam-
age to the equipment, serious personal injury or death. Consequently, the instruc-
tions in this manual, as well as national and local rules and safety regulations, must
be complied with.
Safety Regulations
1. The frequency converter must be disconnected from mains if repair work is to be carried out.
Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before
removing motor and mains plugs.
2. The [STOP/RESET] key on the control panel of the frequency converter does not disconnect
the equipment from mains and is thus not to be used as a safety switch.
3. Correct protective earthing of the equipment must be established, the user must be protected
against supply voltage, and the motor must be protected against overload in accordance with
applicable national and local regulations.
4. The earth leakage currents are higher than 3.5 mA.
5. Protection against motor overload is set by
par. 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection . If this function
is desired, set par. 1-90 to data value [ETR trip] (default value) or data value [ETR warning]. Note:
The function is initialised at 1.16 x rated motor current and rated motor frequency. For the North
American market: The ETR functions provide class 20 motor overload protection in accordance
with NEC.
6. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and mains supply while the frequency converter is
connected to mains. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary
time has passed before removing motor and mains plugs.
7. Please note that the frequency converter has more voltage inputs than L1, L2 and L3, when
load sharing (linking of DC intermediate circuit) and external 24 V DC have been installed. Check
that all voltage inputs have been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before
commencing repair work.
Installation at High Altitudes
By altitudes above 2 km, please contact Danfoss Drives regarding PELV.
Warning against Unintended Start
1. The motor can be brought to a stop by means of digital commands, bus commands, references
or a local stop, while the frequency converter is connected to mains. If personal safety consider-
ations make it necessary to ensure that no unintended start occurs, these stop functions are not
sufficient. 2. While parameters are being changed, the motor may start. Consequently, the stop
key [STOP/RESET] must always be activated; following which data can be modified. 3. A motor
that has been stopped may start if faults occur in the electronics of the frequency converter, or if
a temporary overload or a fault in the supply mains or the motor connection ceases.

3.1.2. Technical Overview
The LonWorks communications structure is similar to that of a local area network (LAN) in that
messages are continually exchanged between a number of processors. A LonWorks system is a
local operating network (LON). LON technologyoffers a means for integrating various distributed
systems that perform sensing, monitoring, control, and other automated functions. A LON allows
these intelligent devices to communicate with one another through a variety of communications
media using a standard protocol.
LON technology supports distributed, peer-to-peer communications. That is, individual network
devices can communicate directly with one another without the need for a central control system.
A LON is designed to move sense and control messages which are typically very short and which
contain commands and status information that trigger actions. LONperformance is viewed in terms
of transactions completed per second and response time. Control systems do not require vast
amounts of data, but they do demand that the messages they send and receive are absolutely
correct.
Data are transported by means of standard network variable types (SNVTs) which provide a well-
defined interface for communication between devices from different manufacturers. Functional
profiles defining the functionality and network variables for a particular family of devices (e.g.
frequency converters, pumps etc.) are also available, and supported by the LonWorks option.
3.1.3. Assumptions
These operating instructions assume, that the Danfoss LonWorks option is used in conjunction
with a Danfoss FC 100 frequency converter. It is also assumed that the installed controller supports
the interfaces described in this document and that all the requirements stipulated in the controller,
as well as the frequency converter, are strictly observed along with all limitations therein.

4.1.3. Network Termination
Dependent on the type of topology, at least one of the connected nodes must be terminated
(105Ω). The option has two built-in termination circuits which are activated by the terminator
switches S300 and S301.
If termination is provided elsewhere in the network, the termination switches should be OFF. If a
double-terminated bus topology is used, the first and the last node should be double-terminated
(52.5Ω).
Termination switch positions are shown in the table below.
Termination type S 300 S 301
No termination (factory setting) OFF OFF
Single termination (105 Ω)ONOFF
Double termination (52.5 Ω)ON ON

The LonWorks communication cable must be kept away from motor and brake resistor cables to
avoid coupling of high frequency noise from one cable to the other. Normally a distance of 200
mm (8 inches) is sufficient, but maintaining the greatest possible distance between the cables is
recommended, especially where cables run in parallel over long distances. When crossing is un-
avoidable, the LonWorks cable must cross motor and brake resistor cables at an angle of 90
degrees.
NB!
It is highly recommended to use suitable screened cable for any LonWorks installa-
tion!

5.1. Configuring the System
5.1.1. How to Configure the LonWorks Network
The LonWorks option card contains a Neuron chip with a unique address. This Neuron ID is a 48
bit number that identifies each Neuron chip manufactured.
Addressing nodes on the LonWorks network is performed at the time of installation using an in-
stallation tool or network management tool (e.g. LonMaker). Addressing requires the retrieval of
the Neuron ID for the node.
There are several methods by which the network software can retrieve the Neuron ID and address
the node:
1. Service Pin – The push-button service switch sends the Neuron ID over the network.
If the network software prompts the action, press the Service Pin switch (O400) to transmit the
Neuron ID over the network. Please refer to the How to Install section for the location of the
Service Pin switch.
2. Query and Wink - Upon receiving a Wink command, both LED’s flashes (½ Hz for 20 sec.)
so the installer can locate the node. The option sends out its Neuron ID over the network in
response to the query command.
3. Neuron ID Label – The installer can manually enter the Neuron ID during installation. The
Neuron ID can be found on the label of the option in text and barcode.
Resource Files
A LonMark interface file (.XIF file extension) provides the host processor with device information.
Using this file it is possible to design a LonWorks network without the adjustable frequency con-
verter being physically present. Other resource files are:
• Type file (.typ file extension)
• Format file (.fmt file extension)
• Language description file (.eng, .enu and other file extensions)
The resource files can be downloaded from the web site
