Identify the Controller
Each Reliance Electric SP500 controller can be identified by its model
number(for standard controllers) or by the sales order number (for
customer-specified controllers). This number appears on the shipping
label and is stamped on the controller nameplate. (Refer to controller
nameplate for more information.) Verify that the model number shown
on the nameplate matches the shipping label. Refer to this model
number whenever discussing the equipment with Reliance Electric
personnel.
The standard model number describes the controller as follows:

Controller Description
SP500 controllers operate on a three-phase (single-phase) A-C power
source at the appropriate ratedinput voltage. As shown in Figure 1-1,
the A-C power source is supplied to the controller’s input terminals
and passes through three suppressors (MOV). The suppressors are
used to limit voltage transients within the maximum voltage rating of
the diode module.
The diode module rectifies the incoming A-C source to a constant D-C
voltage. This D-C voltage is then applied to an internal power supply
and to a large D-C bus capacitor. The internal power supply is a D-C
to D-C type to provide the necessary voltage and current source
required within the controller. The large D-C bus capacitor filters the
D-C voltage which then enters an IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar
transistor) inverter bridge. Under software control from an internal
microcontroller, the IGBT transforms the constant D-C voltage into a
PWM (Pulse-width Modulated) voltage signal corresponding to the
variable voltage and variable frequency source selected for the motor.
The IGBT inverter bridge is switched by the microcontroller using a 4,
6,
or 8 kHz carrier frequency. A low carrier frequency will maximize the
power rating of the controller butalso increaseacoustic noise. A
higher carrier frequency selection reduces acoustic noise but results
in a derating of the controller output (Refer to Specifications,
Section 2). The microcontroller also provides for operational input
data from the local operator interface and operates the controller.
The microcontroller directs the overall operation of the SP500
controller for adjustable-speed performance of A-C induction and
synchronous motors. User programmable functions, configurethe
controller's performance to fit motor characteristics and the users end
application. (Refer to Motor Applictions in Section 2, and Adjusting
Drive Functions, Section 5 for more information.) External control of
the controller is provided by the local operator interface or user
installed wiring.
The local operator interface contains a display, indicators, and control
and programming keys. (Refer to Section 4, Keypad and Display
Operation, for more information.) In addition to using the local
operator interface, user wiring can be installed for operational control,
motor speed adjustment, analog metering, dynamic braking (optional)
and an emergency stop (customer supplied). (Refer to Installation and
Wiring, Section 3).
The controller is intended to operate under trip free (fault)
characteristics. The controller uses selected signals to extend the
acceleration (starting) and deceleration (stopping) ratesof the motor.
When a fault does occur, however, the controller’s microcontroller
generates an instantaneous electronic trip (IET) signal to turn the
controller off (coast-to-stop). An indicationof theIET fault, which
occured, is stored in the controller and can be displayed on the local
operator interface. After a fault, the STOP/RESET key or a wired IET
RESET pushbutton switch must be pressed (resetting theIET signal)
to clear the fault from the controller (Refer to Section 7,
Troubleshooting, Fault Codes, and Replacement Parts).

The controller model number, 1SU14001, supplied in the SP500 demo
package is specially configured to operate on 1 phase, 115 volt power
and is intended for demonstration purposes only. It will operate an
unloaded
motor, model number P56X3008. Refer to Table 2-1 for the
controller’s current and voltage data.
Note: The regulator card used in this demo is part number
0-56911-3A.

Controller Specifications
SP500 Model 1SU2xxx, Model 1SU4xxx, and Model 1SU5xxx
Controllers are intended to operate from a three phase, A-C power
source at the rated voltage listed on the controller nameplate (See
Figure 1-1). Each type of controller model can operate on either a 50
Hz or 60 Hz line frequency. The controllers provide three-phase
variable voltage and variable frequency to the motor. Some Model
1SU2xxx Controllers can also operate from a single-phase voltage
source.

Controller Input/output Specifications
The controller input/output specifications are subject to some of the
17 functions (19 function in total) which can be adjusted for user
specified applications. (Refer to Section 5, Adjusting the Drive
Functions)
Controller Inputs
@ Speed Reference input: 5KQ Potentiometer (0Q—10 VDC) or
0-20 mA current-loop (Jumper
selectable, Refer to Section 3)
Note: The controller provides +15 VDC buffered through a 1.875 KQ
resistor, a 500 current loop resistor and an associated
reference.
Control logic
The controller uses an internal 24 VDC power supply to
provide the required voltage for control signals. Enabling or
disabling a control signal requires that a contact (switch) be
opened or closed.
@ Stop: Open Contact
(Contact must be closed when drive is
running. An open contact turns the controller
“off”. The drive will remain and/or be held off
as long as contact is open.)
e@ Start: Open to Closed Contact Transition —
momentary or fixed contact closure
(Edge-sensitive control input signal which
must see an open to closed transition.)
e@ IET Reset: Open to Closed Contact Transition —
momentary or fixed contact closure
(Edge-sensitive control input signal which
must see an open to closed transition.)
e@ Forward/
Reverse: Open Contact — asserting the Forward Direction
Closed Contact — asserting the Reverse
Direction
@ Function
Loss: Open Contact
(Contact must be closed when drive is
running. An open contact turns the controller
“off”. The drive will remain and/or be held off
as long as contact is open.)

up.

Motor Applications
To obtain Motor Nameplate Horsepower, the controller’s (sine wave)
output ampere rating, at the carrier frequency selected, should be
equal to or greater than the motor nameplate current. If the Motor
Nameplate Amperes are HIGHER than the controllers (sine wave)
output ampere rating, the motor HORSEPOWER should be DERATED
by the ratio of controller (sine wave) outputampere rating (at the
selected carrier) to the motor nameplate current.
