Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
SCOPE
This manual covers the 590SP Digital regenerative and the 591SP Digital
non-regenerative drives. Both models accept single phase supply power
up to 400 VAC and are rated to 27 amps DC.
OVERVIEW OF THE 590SP DIGITAL DRIVE
The 590SP Digital series drive is a digital single phase motor controller
designed to power and control shunt field and permanent magnet DC
motors from standard single phase 50/60 Hz supplies ranging from 110 to
400 VAC.
The 590SP Digital DC drive is available as an open frame device, or may
be ordered with a steel protective IP20 rated enclosure. Figures 1.1 and
1.2 show the open and enclosed versions. The open version includes a
protective metal cover mounted on the front to shield voltage sensitive IC
chips on the control board from incidental electrostatic discharge.
NOTE. The IP20 rated enclosure protects the drive against objects (0.47”) 12 mm in diameter. It is not
dust proof, oil resistant or drip proof.
A self contained “DRV” package model is also available. DRV models include an input supply two pole circuit
breaker and a DC contactor mounted in a steel IP20 enclosure. Refer to Appendix L for information and technical
details.
The drives are designed for simple, economical panel mounting using 8-32 or M4 studs. Disconnecting and reconnect-
ing the controller, if necessary, is simplified by plug-in connectors. Standardized parts reduce the number of spare
parts needed to maintain a multi-drive system.
The Man Machine Interface [MMI] display simplifies start up and troubleshooting by automatically displaying the
first fault. It serves as a powerful diagnostic tool with access to all alarms and parameters within the drive. Light
emitting diode [LED] indicators on the front panel display the drive's
operating status.
You can configure the drive software either through the MMI or with
ConfigEd Lite, a configuration program compatible with most IBM compat-
ible personal computers (PCs) running Windows™.
Main Features
Microprocessor Control: A 16 bit microprocessor controls the drive
and offers the following features:
• Communication through a serial link with other drives or a host
computer allowing advanced systems for monitoring and updat-
ing parameters.
• Complex control algorithms not possible with simple analog
devices
• Control circuitry built around standard software blocks
• Open-loop and closed-loop winder control
• Section PID control for loadcell or dancer position control

Chapter 1 Introduction
Digital Accuracy: All setpoints and variables are accessible either through analog inputs or digitally over a
serial computer communications link giving greater control accuracy and repeatability than analog drives.
Feedback Options: The drive supports four types of speed feedback:
• Armature voltage feedback, a standard feature which requires no feedback device or external connections
• Analog AC or DC tachometer generators
• Fiber optic plastic (5701) or glass (5901) Microtach encoders
• Wire-ended electrical encoders
Other Features
•Power Isolation: The 590SP’s control circuitry is electrically isolated from the drive’s power control, thus
enhancing system interconnection and safety.
•Frequency Auto Ranging: The control circuitry automatically adjusts to accept supply frequencies from 40-
70Hz and possesses high noise immunity from supply born interference.
•Man-Machine Interface (MMI): A two-line alphanumeric LCD display automatically displays the first fault
the drive registers. A four button keypad greatly enhances troubleshooting, tuning and commissioning. Drive
inputs and outputs and drive parameters are accessible through the LCD display and the keypad, or may be
monitored or changed with a PC running the software package ConfigEd Lite.
•Drive Status Indicators: Six LEDs indicate the drive’s alarm and run status.
•Regenerative/Non-regenerative Control: Regenerative (590SP) and non-regenerative (591SP) models are
available. Regenerative controllers consist of two electronically controlled, full-wave thyristor bridges provid-
ing speed and torque control in both directions of rotation (4 quadrant control). Non-regenerative models have
one full-wave bridge controlling speed and torque in one direction only (2 quadrant control).
•Simple Calibration: Switch selectable calibration for analog tachometer generator speed feedback, armature
current and armature voltage. Fine tuning performed through drive software.
•Current Loop Autotune: Software driven automatic tuning of drive current loop with built in AUTOTUNE routine.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Carefully remove any packing material from around the drive. Save the box and foam inserts in case you ever need to
return the drive. Improper packaging can cause transit damage.
Remove the drive from its packing case. Do not attempt to lift or move the drive by its terminal connections. Lift the
drive instead by its heatsink and lay the drive on a flat surface. Take care not to damage any protruding terminal
connections or components.
Caution
The IC devices mounted to the control board of the drive are extremely sensitive to stray voltage and
electrostatic discharge. Do not remove the protective cover or the IP20 housing except for installation.
With the IP20 housing or the protective cover removed, handle the drive only while you are properly
grounded and protected against static electric discharge.

Chapter 2 IDENTIFICATION
BASIC PART IDENTIFICATION
The photo in Figure 2.1 shows the parts of the 590SP Digital Drive. The drive consists of three main parts: a control
board, a power board and four thyristor, or silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) packs mounted on an aluminum heat
sink. The regenerative model 590SP contains four SCR packs; non-regenerative models (591SP) are fitted with two.
Each SCR pack contains two SCRs which convert the AC supply power into DC output power for armature control of
a DC motor. The control board, power boards and the thyristor modules are electrically and physically isolated from each
other. These boards and the SCR packs are the only replaceable electronic parts on the drive.

Chapter 3 INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The 590SP Digital drive is designed for easy installation. Review these procedures before installing the drive. If you
do not understand the instructions, or are unsure of your ability to perform the procedures, contact Eurotherm Drives
Customer Service.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
Installing a 590SP drive requires the following hand tools:
• Socket wrench with a 6 inch extension • Small pair of electrical pliers
• M7 or 9/32" deep socket • Small wire cutters
• Phillips #2 Screwdriver • Pliers
• Flat blade - 0.5 x 3.0 mm Screwdriver • Wire strippers
• Flat blade - 0.6 x 3.5 mm Screwdriver • Wire crimping tool
• Flat blade - 0.8 x 4.0 mm Screwdriver • Spade and ring wire crimps
• 8/32 or M4 (as applicable) socket wrench and bolts and nuts needed to mount the drive to the panel.
VENTILATION AND COOLING REQUIREMENTS
The drive must be able to dissipate the heat generated during use. Mount the unit vertically so that cool air will flow
through the drive. As a rule, allow a minimum of 2.00" (51 mm) of clearance above and below the drive to ensure
adequate free air flow. When mounting drives one above the other, allow at least 2.00" (51 mm) between the top and
bottom drives. No free space is required between the drives when they are mounted side by side. Do not mount the
590SP Digital drive next to other power equipment that may cause the drive to overheat.
Normal maximum ambient operating temperature is 45°C (113°F). Derate the controller above 45°C by 1% per °C to a
maximum of 55°C (131°F). At 45°C, the drive dissipates 90 Watts when run at its maximum rated current of 27
amps. Figure 3.1 lists heat dissipations for the 590SP operating at different power levels.
Caution
Operation above 55°C (131°F) is not recommended.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The 590SP is designed to mount directly onto a vertical, flat surface through four slots on the side of the heatsink.
Refer to the outline drawing in Figure 3.2 for mounting centers and hardware recommendations. Supply and motor
connections are made to the bottom of the drive's power board. Control wiring and fiber optic conductors can exit the
left side of the drive or along the bottom. Allow for sufficient wire routing space when wiring. Leave excess slack or
"service length" in the wiring harness.
NOTE. Mounting holes should be accurately placed.
