1. SAFETY
This manual contains clearly marked cautions and warnings that are intended for your personal
safety and to avoid any unintentional damage to the product or connected appliances.
Please read the information included in cautions and warnings carefully.
The cautions and warnings are marked as follows:
1.1 Danger
Table 1. Warning signs
= DANGER! Dangerous voltage
= WARNING or CAUTION
= Caution! Hot surface
The components of the power unit are live when the drive is connected to mains
potential. Coming into contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may
cause death or severe injury.
The motor terminals U, V, W and the brake resistor terminals are live when the
AC drive is connected to mains, even if the motor is not running.
After disconnecting the AC drive from the mains, wait until the indicators on the
keypad go out (if no keypad is attached, see the indicators on the cover). Wait 5
more minutes before doing any work on the connections of the drive. Do not open
the cover before this time has expired. After expiration of this time, use a mea-
suring equipment to absolutely ensure that no
voltage is present. Always ensure
absence of voltage before starting any electrical work!
The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains potential. However, the
relay outputs and other I/O-terminals may have a dangerous control voltage
present even when the AC drive is disconnected from mains.
Before connecting the AC drive to mains make sure that the front and cable cov-
ers of the drive are closed.
During a ramp stop (see the Application Manual), the motor is still generating
voltage to the drive. Therefore, do not touch the components of the AC drive
before the motor has completely stopped. Wait until the indicators on the keypad
go out (if no keypad is attached, see the indicators on the cover). Wait additional 5
minutes before starting any work on the drive.

1.2 Warnings
The AC drive is meant for fixed installations only.
Do not perform any measurements when the AC drive is connected to the mains.
The earth leakage current of the AC drives exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to stan-
dard EN61800-5-1, a reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured.
See Chapter 1.3.
If the AC drive is used as a part of a machine, the machine manufacturer is
responsible for providing the machine with a supply disconnecting device (EN
60204-1).
Only spare parts delivered by VACON®can be used.
At power-up, power break or fault reset the motor will start immediately if the
start signal is active, unless the pulse control for
Start/Stop logic has been selected .
Furthermore, the I/O functionalities (including start inputs) may change if param-
eters, applications or software are changed. Disconnect, therefore, the motor if
an unexpected start can cause danger.
The motor starts automatically after automatic fault reset if the auto restart
function is activated. See the Application Manual for more detailed information.
Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, disconnect the motor
cable from the AC drive.
Do not touch the components on the circuit boards. Static voltage discharge may
damage the components.
Check that the EMC level of the AC drive corresponds to the requirements of your
supply network.
Wear protective gloves when you do mounting, cabling or maintenance opera-
tions. There can be sharp edges in the AC drive that can cause cuts.

1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection
The AC drive must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the earthing terminal
marked with .
The earth leakage current of the drive exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to EN61800-5-1, one or more
of the following conditions for the associated protective circuit must be satisfied:
a) The protective conductor must have a cross-sectional area of at least 10 mm2 Cu or 16
mm2 Al, through its total run.
b) Where the protective conductor has a cross-sectional area of less than 10 mm2 Cu or 16
mm2 Al, a second protective conductor of at least the same cross-sectional area must be
provided up to a point where the protective conductor has a cross-sectional area not less
than 10 mm2 Cu or 16 mm2 Al.
c) Automatic disconnection of the supply in case of loss of continuity of the protective conduc-
tor.
The cross-sectional area of every protective earthing conductor which does not form part of the
supply cable or cable enclosure must, in any case, be not less than:
-2.5mm
2if mechanical protection is provided or
-4mm
2if mechanical protection is not provided.
The earth fault protection inside the AC drive protects only the drive itself against earth faults in the
motor or the motor cable. It is not intended for personal safety.
Due to the high capacitive currents present in the AC drive, fault current protective switches may
not function properly.
CAUTION!
Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of the AC drive. There is
a certain procedure according to which the tests must be performed. Ignoring
this procedure may result in damaged product.

BACnet - general info vacon • 5
Local contacts: http://drives.danfoss.com/danfoss-drives/local-contacts/ 2
2. BACNET - GENERAL INFO
BACnet stands for ‘Building Automation and Control Networks’. It is the common name for the
communication standard ISO 16484-5 which defines the methods and the protocol for cooperating
building automation devices to communicate. Devices can be designed to operate using BACnet
communication protocol as well as utilising BACnet protocol to communicate between systems.
BACnet is an internationally accepted protocol for building automation (e.g. lightning control, air
conditioning and heating automation) and control over a communications network.
BACnet provides a method by which computer-based control equipment, from different
manufacturers can work together, or 'interoperate'. For this to be achieved, components must be
able to exchange and understand BACnet data messages.
Your VACON®100 family AC drive is equipped with BACnet support as standard.
Figure 1. Principal example diagram of BACnet
If you need to contact VACON®service in problems related to BACnet, send a description of the
problem together with the Drive Info File taken with VACON®Live to your local support. You can
download the Service Information file with the VACON®Live tool. In BACnet/IP networks, also send
a log file captured with the Wireshark tool that contains the error situation.

3. BACNET TECHNICAL DATA
3.1 BACnet MS/TP protocol
3.2 BACnet IP protocol
3.3 ACD (Address Conflict Detection)
The VACON®100 family AC drives implement the ACD algorithm (IETF RFC 5227).
The ACD algorithm tries to actively detect if the IP address configured to this device is been used by
another device in the same network. To accomplish this, ACD sends four ARP request packets when
the device's Ethernet interface goes up or when its IP address changes. ACD prevents the use of the
Ethernet interface until the ARP probing finishes. This delays the startup of fieldbus protocols about
one second. During the delay or after it, the ACD passively checks incoming ARP messages for use
of the device's IP address.
If another device with the same IP address is detected, the ACD will try to defend its IP address with
a single ARP message. If the other device with the same IP address also supports ACD, it should
stop using the address. If not, the ACD will close the Ethernet connection and indicate the situation
with an Alarm. This is done according the "DefendWithPolicyB". Acknowledging of the Alarm is not
possible if the problem is active. ACD opens Ethernet connection if the other device with the same
IP address disappears from the network. Alarm can be acknowledged after this. Other policies are
not supported. If the fieldbus protocol has been active, a fieldbus fault may be activated (depends
on the fieldbus and drive application configuration).

4.3 BACnet MS/TP parameter descriptions
4.3.1 BACnet MS/TP Parameters
P5.8.3.1.1 BAUD RATE
Select the communication speed for the network. The default value is 9600 baud. If Autobauding is
selected, the node will detect the baudrate. There must be at least one device in the bus to select
the baud rate and to start token transmitting. When the baudrate is detected, it is saved into this
parameter.
NOTE! Autobauding is disabled after baudrate is detected.
P5.8.3.1.2 MAC ADDRESS
The parameters of every device must be set before connecting to the bus. Especially the
parameters MAC address and Baud rate must be the same as in the master’s configuration.
The first parameter, BACnet MAC (Medium Access Control) address, must be unique on the
network to which it is connected. The same MAC address may be used on a device on another
network within the internetwork.
Addresses 128-254 are reserved for slaves. Addresses 1-127 are valid for both masters and slaves.
The portion of the address space that is actually used for masters in a particular installation is
determined by the value of the Max_Master property of the Device object.
It is recommended that MAC address 0 be reserved for use by the MS/TP router. 255 is reserved for
broadcasts.
P5.8.3.1.3 INSTANCE NUMBER
The Device Object's Instance number must be unique across the entire BACnet internetwork
because it is used to uniquely identify the BACnet devices. It may be used to conveniently identify
the BACnet device from other devices during installation.
If 0 (default) is selected, the Device Instance number is generated from the last 22 bit of the
Ethernet MAC address. This unique number is then shown in the Monitor menu (actual instance).
P5.8.3.1.4 MAXMASTER
This parameter defines the last possible master on the network segment. Each master node is
responsible for searching new devices from network using the ‘poll for master’ messages. The
nodes are searched up to MAC address defined by MaxMaster parameter.
This parameter affects the cycle time of the token. We recommend to use the highest MAC address
value in the network for this parameter.
P5.8.3.1.5 COMMUNICATION TIMEOUT
The BACnet MS/TP indicates timeout error if the node is not receiving a token within time defined
by this parameter. It can be used to detect communication loss to other nodes. Time unit is
seconds.
NOTE! Application parameter P3.9.1.6 (ID 733) can be use to define action for communication
timeout.

vacon • 12 Programming
Local contacts: http://drives.danfoss.com/danfoss-drives/local-contacts/
P5.8.3.1.6 MAXAPDUCYCLE
This parameter defines the maximum time in seconds between APDU messages addressed to this
node. The APDU messages are Application layer messages, for example, 'ReadParameter' and
'Write Parameter' messages. This can be used to detect communication loss to the controlling
node.
NOTE! The application parameter P3.9.1.6 (ID 733) can be used to define the action for
communication timeout.
4.3.2 BACnet MS/TP monitoring values
V5.8.3.2.1 FIELDBUS PROTOCOL STATUS
Fieldbus Protocol Status tells the status of the protocol.
V5.8.3.2.2 COMMUNICATION STATUS
The Communication status shows how many error and how many good messages the AC drive has
received. The Communication status includes a common error counter that counts CRC and parity
errors and a counter for good messages.
Only messages to the current slave in use are counted in the good messages, not MS/TP token
packages.
V5.8.3.2.3 ACTUAL INSTANCE NUMBER
Shows the actual instance number.
V5.8.3.2.4 LAST FAULT
This monitor value consist of text string that gives extra information about the fault condition. Can
be used to track the reason for communication timeout. See Table 10.
V5.8.3.2.5 UARTDBG
This is advanced debug information from RS-485 uart module. It shows parity, framing and overrun
errors occurred while receiving the MSTP messages.
V5.8.3.2.6 ACTIVECOVCOUNT
This shows the number of active COV subscriptions on the device.
V5.8.3.2.7 CONTROL WORD
Shows control word that is written by BACnet MS/TP into drive application. This is shown in panel
as hexadecimal format.
V5.8.3.2.8 STATUS WORD
Shows control word that is written by BACnet MS/TP into drive application. This is shown in panel

4.4 BACnet IP parameter descriptions
4.4.1 Ethernet common settings
P5.9.1.1 IP ADDRESS MODE
Selectable alternatives are DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and Fixed.
DHCP protocol gives IP addresses to new devices connecting to local network. This address is valid
for a certain period of time.
A fixed IP address is specified manually and it does not change.
If the fixed IP mode is selected, the addresses defined in the 'Fixed IP' menu come into use. The
default Fixed IP is shown below.
IP: 192.168.0.10
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 0.0.0.0
P5.9.1.3 IP ADDRESS
An IP address is a series of numbers (like above) specific to the device connected to the Internet.
P5.9.1.4 SUBNET MASK
The network mask marks all the bits of an IP address for the identification of the network and the
subnetwork.
P5.9.1.5 DEFAULT GATEWAY
Gateway address is the IP address of a network point that acts as an entrance to another network.
This needs to be defined if the device communicates with nodes on different networks, for example,
if the 'Foreign Device' functionality is active.
P5.9.1.6 MAC ADDRESS
The Ethernet MAC address of the control board.
MAC address (Media Access Control) is a unique address given to each network host.

when the device is located in a different network than the BBMD. A normal router does not send
broadcast messages between different networks. The 'Foreign device' feature solves this problem
by establishing a connection to the BBMD with unicast messages. All broadcast messages are
forwarded to a BBMD device that takes care of receiving and transmitting broadcast messages in
both directions for all foreign devices.
P5.9.3.1.5.1 FOREIGNDEVICE
If this parameter is set to value 'Yes', the foreign device registration becomes active.
P5.9.3.1.5.2 BBMD IP
The IP address of the BACnet IP Broadcast Management Device.
P5.9.3.1.5.3 BBMD PORT
The BBMD Port number.
P5.9.3.1.5.4 REGISTRATIONINTERVAL
The registration interval to keep a live connection to the BBMD. Unit is seconds.
NOTE! The Registration TTL is twice as long as this time.

Protection class IP21: Cut free the opening on the AC drive cover for the Ether-
net cable.
Protection class IP54: Cut the rubber grommets open to slide the cables
through. Should the grommets fold in while inserting the cable, just draw the
cable back a bit to straighten the grommets up. Do not cut the grommet open-
ings wider than what is necessary for the cables you are using.
NOTE! To meet the requirements of the enclosure class IP54, the connection
between the grommet and the cable must be tight. Therefore, lead the first bit of
the cable out of the grommet straight before letting it bend. If this is not possi-
ble, the tightness of the connection must be ensured with insulation tape or a
cable tie.
