•Interpose a filter (CORCOM mod. 6VDK1) near the main supply entrance.
•Use only shielded cable (outside the enclosure) for connecting motor and drive.
•Connection made to Protective Earth terminal (PE), shown in Fig.2, must be short and have the lowest
possible inductance.
•Use a supply transformer with a metal shield between primary and secondary winding and connect this shield
to PE.
7.2. Input logic signals.
•Rated nominal voltage of external logic: 5 volt ; minimum voltage: 3.5 volt ; maximum voltage: 24 volt
Input low level < 1.0 volt ; Input high level > 2.4 volt
•It’s not allowed to use relay to drive inputs.
7.3. Forced cooling.
According to operating conditions (ambient temperature, current setting, duty-cycle) forced cooling could be
necessary.
7.4. Switching power supply.
It is possible to use a switching power supply instead of a traditional power supply indicated in Fig. 2, provided
that you have a capacitor of at least 1000 µF on the output line of power supply. This capacitor should be
located at a distance not greater than 1 - 2 meter from Vdc input of the drive. The purposes of the capacitor
are:
•To feed the high frequency current pulses required by the drive chopper system.
•To absorb the reverse energy generated by motor during the deceleration phases. In those applications in
which the reverse energy is potentially large (high load inertia and / or high motor speed), it can be necessary
to use a capacitor with a capacitance value much larger than the minimum value indicated above.
NOTICES, HAZARDS AND CAUTIONS
•BSD series drives are BDM (Basic Drive Module), as defined in the EN 61800-3. They are sub-assemblies
without a direct function, foreseen to be integrated in a more complex machine or installation by a professional
assembler, expert in the field of motor drives and in their related problems. Only a professional assembler can
install and put in service this component.
•CE marking: Products here described conform to 2014/35/UE and 2014/30/UE, when correctly installed and
used.
•They are intended to drive stepping motors with two phases, base step angle 1.8 degree and phase inductance
between 1.0 and 12.0 mH. Use with different kind of motor is not allowed.
•Protection degree IP00: use only inside a protective enclosure able to avoid electric shock hazard. Main setting,
connector insertion or extraction has to be done with drive switched off.
•Installation is allowed in local environment with pollution degree N° 2 . Installation in presence of explosive and/or
flammable and/or chemically aggressive and/or electrically conductive gas, vapour or dust and installation near
easily flammable or heat sensitive materials is strictly forbidden.
•Use for safety related functions is forbidden (EN 60204-1); it is also forbidden any application arrangement in
which a drive fault or failure could generate an hazardous condition. It is forbidden to use this material in
application covered from one or more EEC directive before the conformity to those directives has been
confirmed.
•Residual voltages: depending on supply type (assembled by user) and application conditions, a waiting time
greater than 5 seconds after switching off could be necessary.
•Scald hazard: due to the presence of some components operating at high temperature (120°C), wait some
minutes after switching off in order to avoid scalds.
•Driver could generate electromagnetic interference (both radiated and conducted) if instruction about installation
directions are not respected (chap. 7). We remember however that compliance to 2014/30/UE directive has to be
tested on whole machine in normal working condition and in accordance with specific standards covering the
particular application.
•In case of drive failure, dangerous high voltage could appear on logic in / OUT connections. For this reason,
regarding to machine safety, you have to consider that a voltage equal to V
DC
could be present at the I/O in case
of failure.
•Insulation of the drive parts is dimensioned for pollution degree N° 2 and for overvoltage class II. The drive can’t
be connected to the main and it has to be supplied by a power supply equipped with transformer main insulation.
