    VFD Faults

    Ran across this fault before. While VFD output was on, a downstream manual disconnect would intermittently(people) open and/or close. Any components that could manually or automatically isolate input or output of VFD might need further investigation.

    ACS355 Overvoltage fault

    Does anyone have suggestions for ACS355 VFD that intermittently faults on overvoltage? At the time of the last fault voltage was 831 volts. This fault is happening once every couple of days.

    What is the lowest temperature with a ammonia refrigeration system?

    What is the lowest temperature you could measure if using a ammonia refrigeration system? If you have any references they would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Viewing Evaporator Coil

    I would like to see the inlet to an evaporator coil. The coil is in a dark, sometimes wet and generally inaccessible location most of the time. The intent is for operators to know if ice is building up on coil. Does anyone have any product recommendations?

    IPad & Micrologix 1400

    You would need a computer/server running to utilize this- http://www.inductiveautomation.com/scada-software/mobile-scada-hmihttp://www.inductiveautomation.com/scada-software/mobile-scada-hmi

    Fork in the road

    My perceived "weaker position financially" is they do not have a 401k match. They used to but not anymore.

    Fork in the road

    If you had 2 companies offering you different positions at about the same compensation. Company A was in a strong financial position and a market leader and you would have more of a field role. Company B is in a weaker position financially.But they are asking you to come and be a...

    VSD cable

    Diagram shows power earth and shield joined at motor and vfd. Disconnect is not shown. We are using a nonmetallic disconnect with terminal blocks. 2 possible choices are keep earth and shield isolated at disconnect or jumper together at terminal block in disconnect.

    VSD cable

    What should you do with the VSD cable shield wire at a motor disconnect? My intent was to join earth ground and shield at motor and VSD. But I am not sure what to do with shield at disconnect. Thanks

    VFD Start Circuit

    I have 8 VFD's that are going to be controlled via Hand Off Auto switches. Is it "better" to use a external 24dc power supply for start circuit? Or should I use each VFD's supply? The VFD's will be mounted adjacent to each other and have a common stop button(via relay).

    VFD Fault but runs DOL

    JDE777 The only parameter I changed was A082. VFD runs with 1.7amps per phase . VFD has been running for over 72 hours with no fault. Everything is right with the world. Based on the manual I don't know how you figured this out. Thanks

    VFD Fault but runs DOL

    Thanks for the replies. I will compare setttings in VFD to suggestions and implement soon. Has anyone ever had to setA097(Compensation) to something other then Electrical (current setting)? My options are. 0 “Disabled” 1 “Electrical” 2 “Mechanical” 3 “Both"

    VFD Fault but runs DOL

    Jraef I think you are right on with the motor starving for torque. Incoming voltage is 497 all 3 phases. I have tried different accel times and they all will start conveyor unloaded, but as soon as product on belt within minutes F6 fault. In the next few days I should be able to look into VFD...

    VFD Fault but runs DOL

    VFD Powerflex 4 22A-D6P0N104 Fault code 6. Motor 2 HP runs across the line when bypassing VFD(because of fault)approximately 1.7amps all 3 phases even when motor is loaded. VFD can start motor unloaded(empty conveyor). But after starting conveyor fills with product amperage climbs up +11 amps...

    Tank level Sensor

    I want to read the level of a water in a polytank. The water fills the tank via gravity from a condenser on a roof(lots of turbulence and vibration). Can anyone recommend a level or pressure sensor with a 4/20mA output for this application? Thanks

    Start Stop VFD via Speed Reference

    Thanks for the replies. I still am not sure why people intentionally use AB stuff. Yaskawa P7, IQpump Controllers(a awesome drive for pump applications) and even the lowly Altivar 21 have this functionality built in without all the hurdles.

    Start Stop VFD via Speed Reference

    For future reference A055"Above Freq 6" and A056 (Relay Out Level). Thanks DickDV.

    Start Stop VFD via Speed Reference

    I would like the drive to stop when reference is <12mA(30hz) and restart when the reference is >16mA(45hz).
