2 Safety Notes
Installation and
startup
•Never install damaged products or take them into operation. Please submit a
complaint to the shipping company immediately in the event of damage.
•Installation, startup and service work may only be performed by trained person-
nel observing applicable accident prevention regulations and operating instructions!
The regulations in force (e.g. EN 60204, VBG 4, DIN-VDE 0100/0113/0160) must
also be complied with.
• Follow the specific instructions during installation and startup of the motor and
the brake!
•The unit meets all requirements for reliable isolation of power and electronics
connections in accordance with EN 50178. All connected circuits must also satisfy
the requirements for reliable isolation so as to guarantee reliable isolation.
• Take suitable measures to ensure that the connected motor does not start up au-
tomatically when the inverter is switched on.
Suitable measures are:
– With MCF/MCV/MCS4_A: Connect terminal X10:9 '/CONTROL. INHIBIT' to
DGND.
– With MCH4_A: Disconnect the electronics terminal block X11.
Operation and
service
•Disconnect the unit from the power supply system prior to removing the pro-
tective cover. Dangerous voltages may still be present for up to 10 minutes after
mains disconnection.
•Dangerous voltages are present at the output terminals and the cables and mo-
tor terminals connected to them when the unit is switched on. This also applies
even when the unit is inhibited and the motor at a standstill.
• Just because the operation LED and other display elements have gone out does
not mean that the unit has been disconnected from the supply system and is de-en-
ergized.
• Switch the inverter output only when the output stage is inhibited.
• Make sure that preventive measures and protection devices correspond to the
applicable regulations (e.g. EN 60204 or EN 50178).
Necessary protection measures: Grounding the unit
Necessary protection device: Overcurrent protection devices
• The unit has IP 00 enclosure with the protective cover removed. Dangerous volt-
ages are present at all subassemblies except for the control electronics. The unit
must be closed during operation.
•Safety functions inside the unit or a mechanical blockage may cause the motor
to stop. The removal of the source of the malfunction or a reset can result in an
automatic restart of the drive. If, for safety reasons, this is not permitted for the
driven machine, the unit must be disconnected from the supply system before
correcting the fault. In such cases, it is also forbidden for the 'Auto reset' function
(P841) to be activated.

Installation instructions for basic unit
Separate cable
ducts
• Route power cables and electronics cables in separate cable ducts.
Input fuses and
earth-leakage cir-
cuit breakers
• Install the input fuses at the beginning of the supply system lead after the supply
bus junction (→Wiring diagram for basic unit, power section and brake).
• Using an earth-leakage circuit breaker as the sole protection device is not per-
mitted. Earth-leakage currents > 3.5 mA can arise during normal operation of the
inverter. Use universal current-sensitive earth-leakage circuit breakers only.
Supply system
and brake contac-
tors
•Use only contactors in utilization category AC-3 (IEC 158-1) as supply system
and brake contactors.
More than four
units
•Withmore than four units on a supply system contactor designed to cope with
the total current: Insert a 3-phase line choke in the circuit to limit the inrush cur-
rent.
PE mains con-
nection (→EN
50178)
•Withasupply system lead < 10 mm2(AWG 8): Lay a second PE conductor with
the cross section of the supply system lead in parallel to the protective earth via
separate terminals or use a copper protective earth with a cross section of 10
mm2(AWG 8).
•Withasupply system lead ≥10 mm2(AWG 8): Lay a copper protective earth
with the cross section of the supply system lead.
IT systems • SEW recommends using earth-leakage monitors with a pulse code measuring
process in voltage supply systems with a non-earthed star point (IT systems). This
avoids mis-tripping of the earth-leakage monitor due to the earth capacitance of the
inverter.
Cross sections • Supply system lead: Cross section according to rated input current Imains at rated
load.
• Motor lead: Cross section according to rated output current IN.
• Electronics cables:
MCF/MCV/MCS: Single core 0.20...2.5 mm2(AWG24...12)
Double core 0.20...1 mm2(AWG24...17)
MCH: Only single core 0.20...1.5 mm2(AWG24...16)
Use right-angled crimping pliers with 1.5 mm2(AWG16)
Unit output •Connect ohmic/inductive loads (motors) only. Never connect capacitive loads!

Installation instructions for basic unit
Connecting brak-
ing resistors
•Usetwo closely twisted cables or a 2-core shielded power cable. Cross section
according to the rated output current of the inverter.
• Protect the braking resistor with a bimetallic relay / thermal overload relay (→Wir-
ing diagram for basic unit, power section and brake). Set the trip current according
to the technical data of the braking resistor.
Operating brak-
ing resistors
• The connection leads to the braking resistors carry a high DC voltage (approx. 900
V) during rated operation.
• The surfaces of the braking resistors get very hot when the braking resistors are
loaded with PN. Select a suitable installation position. As a rule, braking resistors
are mounted on the switch cabinet roof.
• Install the flat-type braking resistors together with the appropriate touch guard.
Binary inputs /
binary outputs
• The binary inputs are electrically isolated by optocouplers.
• The binary outputs are short-circuit proof, although they are not interference-
voltage-proof (exception: relay output DOØ1). External voltage can cause irrepara-
ble damage to the binary outputs.
Shielding and
earthing
•Useshielded control cables only.
• Connect the shield by the shortest possible route and make sure it is earthed
over a wide area at both ends. You can ground one end of the shield via a suppres-
sion capacitor (220 nF / 50 V) to avoid ground loops. If using double-shielded cables,
ground the outer shield on the inverter end and the inner shield on the other end.
•Shielding can also be achieved by laying the cables in grounded sheet metal
ducts or metal pipes. In this case, the power cables and control cables should
be laid separately.
•Providehigh frequency compatible grounding for the inverter and all additional
units (wide area metal-on-metal contact between the unit housing and ground, e.g.
unpainted switch cabinet mounting panel).

Installation instructions for basic unit
Line filter •Sizes 1 and 2 are fitted with an line filter as standard. This line filter ensures that
limit value class A is maintained on the supply side. Use an NF...-... line filter as
an option to maintain the class B limit.
• The NF...-... line filter option is required for sizes 3 to 5 to maintain class A and B
limits.
• Install the line filter close to the inverter, but outside the minimum clearance re-
quired for cooling.
• Restrict the cable between the line filter and the inverter to the absolute mini-
mum length required, and never more than 400 mm (15.8 in). Unshielded, twisted
cables are sufficient. Also use unshielded cables as the supply system lead.
• This line filter must be installed either directly at the entry point into the switch
cabinet or in the immediate vicinity of the inverter if several inverters are con-
nected to the same line filter. The line filter must be chosen on the basis of the total
current of the connected inverters.
•No EMC limits are specified for interference emission in voltage supply sys-
tems without an earthed star point (IT systems). The effectiveness of line filters
in IT systems is severely limited.
Interference
emission
SEW recommends the following EMC measures on the output side to maintain the
class A and B limits:
• Shielded motor feeder
• HD... output choke option
HD... output choke •Installtheoutput choke close to the inverter, but outside the minimum clearance
required for cooling.
• Route all three phases together through the output choke. Do not route the PE
conductor through the output choke!

Installation instructions for PROFIBUS-DP interface (MCH41A)
4.2 Installation instructions for PROFIBUS-DP interface (MCH41A)
Pin assignment Connection to the PROFIBUS network using a 9-pin sub D plug according to IEC 61158.
The T-bus connection must be made using a plug with the corresponding configuration.
As a rule, the MOVIDRIVE®compact drive inverter is connected to the PROFIBUS sys-
tem using a shielded twisted-pair cable. Note the maximum supported transmission rate
when you are selecting the bus connector.
The two-core cable is connected to the PROFIBUS connector using pin 3 (RxD/TxD-P)
and pin 8 (RxD/TxD-N). Communication takes place via these two contacts. The RS-485
signals RxD/TxD-P and RxD/TxD-N must be connected to the same contacts in all
PROFIBUS stations. Otherwise, communication via the bus will not function.
The PROFIBUS interface sends a TTL control signal via pin 4 (CNTR-P) for a repeater
or FO adapter (reference = pin 9).

Shielding and
routing bus
cables
The PROFIBUS interface supports RS-485 transmission technology and requires the
cable type A to IEC 61158 specified as the physical medium for PROFIBUS. This cable
must be a shielded, twisted-pair two-core cable.
Having the bus cable correctly shielded cuts out parasitic interference which can occur
in an industrial environment. The following measures enable the best possible shielding
to be achieved:
• Tighten the retaining screws of plugs, modules and equipotential bonding conductors
until finger-tight.
• Only use connectors with a metal housing or a metallized housing.
• Connect the shield in the connector over a large surface area.
• Apply the bus cable shielding on both ends.
• Do not route the signal and bus cables in parallel to the power cables (motor feed-
ers); use separate cable ducts if at all possible.
• Only use metal, grounded cable racks in industrial environments.
• Join the signal cables and the associated equipotential bonding together at closely
spaced intervals by the shortest route.
• Avoid using plug connections to extend bus cables.
• Route the bus cables closely adjacent to available grounding surfaces.
Bus termination
with MCH41A
MCH41A is not provided with bus terminating resistors so that the bus system can be
taken into operation more easily and in order to reduce the number of error sources.
Use a plug with an integrated bus terminating resistor if the inverter is at the start or finish
of a PROFIBUS segment and only one PROFIBUS cable is leading to the inverter.
Switch on the bus terminating resistors on this PROFIBUS plug.
In the event of fluctuations in the ground potential, a compensating current may flow
along the shield which is connected at both ends and to the ground potential (PE). In this
case, make adequate provision for equipotential bonding in accordance with the rele-
vant VDE regulations.

Installation instructions for PROFIBUS-DP interface (MCH41A)
Setting the sta-
tion address with
MCH41A
The PROFIBUS station address is set using DIP switches 1...8 (valency 20...26) below
the connection unit (→Sec. 'Removing the connection unit' on page 32). MOVIDRIVE®
compact supports the address range 0...125.
The PROFIBUS station address can only be set using the DIP switches when the con-
nection unit has been removed. This means the address cannot be altered during ongo-
ing operation. The change comes into effect when the drive inverter is switched back on
(power system + 24 V OFF/ON). The drive inverter displays the current station address
in fieldbus monitor parameter P092 'Fieldbus address' (display with DBG11B or MOVI-
TOOLS/SHELL).

Installation instructions for INTERBUS FO interface (MCH42A)
4.3 Installation instructions for INTERBUS FO interface (MCH42A)
Bus connection
via fiber optic
cable (FO)
The bus connection uses fiber optic cables. You can use either polymer fiber cables or
HCS cables.
Polymer fiber
cables
This type of cable is used for distances of up to 70 meters between two INTERBUS sta-
tions. Various types are available depending on the application. This cable type offers
straightforward and inexpensive installation.
HCS cables This type of cable can be used over distances of up to 500 m, since it has much lower
light attenuation values than polymer fiber cable.
The bus cable must be at least 1 meter long. Cable bridges from Phoenix Contact must
be used for shorter distances.
Checklist for installing FO cables
Routing FO cables • Do not exceed the maximum cable length
• Note the permitted bending radii
• Do not crush or kink FO cables
• Do not exceed the strain limit when routing
• When unreeling FO cables for installation, always use an unreeling fixture
Protective mea-
sures for FO
cables
• Protect them from strain and impermissibly small bending radii
• Route them without loops
• Protect them against sharp edges
• Use a special cable type when routing in special areas (e.g. laying underground or
in proximity to welding robots)
Pre-fabricating FO
cables
• Strip the insulation off the outer sheath and the individual cores without damaging
them
• Fix the individual core in the plug (strain relief)
• Polish and install the end of the plug in accordance with the guidelines
Calibrating FO
cables
• Check the light intensity complies with the limit values (optical diagnosis with CMD
tool or FO measuring instrument)
Connecting FO
plugs
The fiber optic cable is connected to MOVIDRIVE®compact MCH42A using plugs called
F-SMA plugs. You need a pair of plugs for the incoming and outgoing remote bus (trans-
mitter and receiver). SEW recommends using F-SMA plugs with an anti-kinking sleeve
to ensure that the optimum bending radius is maintained.
Order data for F-SMA plugs (e.g. Phoenix Contact)
Please refer to Phoenix Contact’s fiber optic cable installation guidelines (art. name IBS
SYS FOC ASSEMBLY) for further information about the correct routing of fiber optic ca-
bles.
