Lenze AC Tech SMVector RS-485 LECOM Communication Module User manual

SMVector RS-485 LECOM Communication Module
Communications Interface Reference Guide

This documentation applies to the RS-485 / LECOM communications option for the SMVector inverter and should be
used in conjunction with the SMVector Operating Instructions (Document SV01) that shipped with the drive. These
documents should be read in their entirety as they contain important technical data and describe the installation and
operation of the drive and this option.
WARNING!
The information in this document is based on RS-485 LECOM Communication Module software version 1.20. If a
future revision of software contains differences in the register numbering or register definitions, drive operation
could be seriously affected. If drive parameter P494 does not display 1.20, then writing to any drive register over
the network MUST NOT BE ATTEMPTED as it would have the potential for unexpected consequences potentially
resulting in damage to the equipment or harm to personnel. Future releases of module software require that the
appropriate documentation be used for implementation.
NOTE
To use the LECOM option of the RS-485 communication module with the SMVector (0.33-10HP) requires standard
software version 3.0 or later. All SMVector 15HP (11kW) and higher models support the LECOM option on the
RS-485 communication module.

Safety Information
1 Safety Information
1.1 General
Some parts of Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) can be live, moving and rotating.
Some surfaces can be hot.
Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, and incorrect installation or operation creates the risk
of severe injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance must be carried out by
qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364 and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC report 664 or DIN VDE0110 and
national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed).
According to this basic safety information, qualified skilled personnel are persons who are familiar with the installation,
assembly, commissioning, and operation of the product and who have the qualifications necessary for their occupation.
1.2 Application
Drive controllers are components designed for installation in electrical systems or machinery. They are not to be used
as appliances. They are intended exclusively for professional and commercial purposes according to EN 61000-3-2.
The documentation includes information on compliance with EN 61000-3-2.
When installing the drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. the starting of operation as directed) is prohibited
until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of the EC Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive);
EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting drive as directed) is only allowed when there is compliance to the EMC Directive (2004/108/
EC).
The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. The harmonised standards of the
series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 apply to the controllers.
The availability of controllers is restricted according to EN 61800-3. These products can cause radio interference
in residential areas. In the case of radio interference, special measures may be necessary for drive controllers.
1.3 Installation
Ensure proper handling and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Do not bend any components and do not change any
insulation distances during transport or handling. Do not touch any electronic components and contacts. Controllers
contain electrostatically sensitive components, which can easily be damaged by inappropriate handling. Do not damage
or destroy any electrical components since this might endanger your health! When installing the drive ensure optimal
airflow by observing all clearance distances in the drive's user manual. Do not expose the drive to excessive: vibration,
temperature, humidity, sunlight, dust, pollutants, corrosive chemicals or other hazardous environments.
1.4 Electrical Connection
When working on live drive controllers, applicable national regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must
be observed.
The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the appropriate regulations (e.g. cable cross-sections,
fuses, PE connection). Additional information can be obtained from the regulatory documentation.
The regulatory documentation contains information about installation in compliance with EMC (shielding, grounding,
filters and cables). These notes must also be observed for CE-marked controllers. The manufacturer of the system or
machine is responsible for compliance with the required limit values demanded by EMC legislation.

1.5 Operation
Systems including controllers must be equipped with additional monitoring and protection devices according to the
corresponding standards (e.g. technical equipment, regulations for prevention of accidents, etc.). You are allowed to
adapt the controller to your application as described in the documentation.
DANGER!
• After the controller has been disconnected from the supply voltage, do not touch the live components
and power connection until the capacitors have discharged. Please observe the corresponding
notes on the controller.
• Do not continuously cycle input power to the controller more than once every three minutes.
• Close all protective covers and doors during operation.
WARNING!
Network control permits automatic starting and stopping of the inverter drive. The system design must
incorporate adequate protection to prevent personnel from accessing moving equipment while power
is applied to the drive system.

Installation
3.2 RS-485 Terminal Block
For a LECOM network, wire the RS-485 connector as detailed in Table 3.
Table 3: RS-485 Pin Designation
Terminal Description Important RS-485 Connector
1 Earth ground / shield For reliable communication make sure terminal is
connected to the LECOM network GND/common. If
only two wires are used (TXA and TXB) in the network,
connect Terminal 1 to chassis/earth ground.
12345
2 TXA If controller is located at either end of the network,
a terminating resistor (120ohm typical) should be
connected across TXA and TXB
3 No connection
4 TXB
5 No connection
Protection against contact
• All terminals have basic isolation (single insulating distance)
• Protection against contact can only be ensured by additional measures (i.e. double insulation)
3.3 Electrical Installation
3.3.1 Cable Types
For RS-485 LECOM-B networks, use a quality shielded twisted pair cable. The use of low quality cable will result in
excess signal attenuation and data loss.
3.3.2 Network Limitations
There are several limiting factors that must be taken into consideration when building an RS-485 LECOM network:
• LECOM-B networks are limited to: 31 devices (w/o repeaters); 90 w/ repeaters).
• Topology: Without repeaters: line; with repeaters: line or tree.
• Maximum total network length is 1200 m depending on the baud rate and cable used.
• Minimum of 1 meter of cable between nodes.
3.3.3 Connections and Shielding
To ensure good system noise immunity all networks cables should be correctly grounded:
• Minimum grounding recommendation: ground the network cable once in every cubical.
• Ideal grounding recommendation: ground the network cable on or as near to each drive as possible.
• For wiring of cable to the connector plug the unscreened cable cores should be kept as short as possible;
recommended maximum of 20mm. The shield connection of terminal 1 should also be wired to earth (PE).

3.3.4 Network Termination
For an RS-485 network it is essential to install the specified termination resistors (120W), i.e. one at both ends of a network
segment. Failure to do so will result in signals being reflected back along the cable which will cause data corruption.
An external 120W 1/4W resistor can be connected as shown in Figure 5.
