2 Safety
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 network may cause damage to the equipment, serious personal injury or death. Consequently, the instructions 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 keypad 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. F-10 Electronic Overload . If this function is desired, set par. F-10 Electronic Overload to data value
[Electronic Thermal Overload trip] (default value) or data value [Electronic Thermal Overload warning]. Note: The function is initialized at 1.16 x rated
motor current and rated motor frequency. For the North American market: The Electronic Thermal Overload 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
Installation at high altitude:
380 - 500 V, unit sizes 1x, 2x and 3x: At altitudes above 2 km, please contact GE regarding PELV.
380 - 500 V, unit sizes 4x, 5x and 6x: At altitudes above 3 km, please contact GE regarding PELV.
525 - 690 V: At altitudes above 2 km, please contact GE regarding PELV.
Warning against Unintended Start
1. The motor canbe 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 considerations 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.
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as external 24 V DC, load sharing (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as the motor
connection for kinetic back up. Refer to the Operating Instructions for further safety guidelines.

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 GE LonWorks option is used in conjunction with a GE AF-600 FPfan & pump drive. 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.
3.1.4 Hardware
This manual relates to the LonWorks option OPCLON.

3.1.5 Background Knowledge
The GE LonWorks Option Card is designed to communicate with any system complying with the FTT and 78Kbps LonWorks standard. Familiarity with this technology
is assumed. Issues regarding hardware or software produced by other manufacturers, including commissioning tools, are beyond the scope of this manual and
are not the responsibility of GE.
For information regarding commissioning tools or communication with a non-GE node, please consult the appropriate manuals.

4.1.3 Network Termination
Dependent on the type of topology, at least one of the connected nodes must be terminated (52.5Ω). 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 (105Ω).
Termination switch positions are shown in the table below.
Termination type S 300 S 301
No termination (factory setting) OFF OFF
Double termination (105 Ω)ONOFF
Single termination (52.5 Ω)ON ON
4.1.4 Connecting the Bus Line
Connect bus wire NET A to terminal 79 and NET B to 80 of the terminal connector.

4.1.7 EMC Precautions
The following EMC precautions are recommended in order to achieve interference-free operationof the LonWorks network. Additional EMC information is available
in the AF-600 FP Design Guide.
NB!
Relevant national and local regulations, for example regarding protective earth connection, must be observed.
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 unavoidable, the LonWorks cable must cross motor and brake resistor cables at an angleof 90 degrees.
NB!
It is highly recommended to use suitable screened cable for any LonWorks installation!

5 Configuration of the System
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 installation 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 converter 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 www.geelectrical.com/drives.
5.1.2 Functional Profiles
