General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional operating parameters of the equipment or from
mismatching the variable speed drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment
to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the
specification of the product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electrical or mechanical including photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system,
without permission in writing from the publisher.
Drive software version
This product is supplied with the latest software version. If this drive is to be connected to an existing system
or machine, all drive software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as drives of the
same model already present. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management
System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS,
our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save
energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap
throughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far
outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded
but should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the
products easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap
together and can be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional
fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates,
while smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre
content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags
for wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers
easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for
improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and
best practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,
please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be

4.3 Digital I/O
The digital I/O circuits are isolated from the power circuits in the drive by basic insulation
(single insulation) only. The installer must ensure that the external control circuits are
insulated from human contact by at least one layer of insulation (supplementary
WARNING insulation) rated for use at the AC supply voltage.

If the digital inputs or outputs are to be connected to other circuits classified as Safety
Extra Low Voltage (SELV) (e.g. to a personal computer), an additional isolating barrier
WARNING
must be included in order to maintain the SELV classification.

The MCi210 is equipped with 3 digital inputs, 1 selectable digital input or output and 1 digital output.
These inputs and outputs can be read to or controlled by the user program in the module.
The digital outputs are a positive logic arrangement with high side drivers only, such that they are at
+24 V when active and can supply a total maximum 20 mA of current shared between the two
outputs. When inactive they are effectively floating. The digital outputs are protected against short-
circuit or overload. The trip threshold is 20 mA, and if tripped both outputs will be deactivated and
the drive will show a "Slotx Error - Output overload" trip (where x indicates the slot number that
module is installed in).

The digital I/O are controlled using menu 4 in the module. Refer to section 5.9 Menu 4 - Digital I/
O on page 35 for more information.

information
Safety
5.1 Overview
The MCi210 module holds two parameter databases; the MCi210 database and the database for

Introduction
the drive to which the module is installed.
The MCi210 database parameters can be accessed from the drive’s keypad, a user program in the
MCi210, PC Tools or a module in another slot of the drive. The notation S.mm.ppp is used to
access these parameters where S is the slot number, mm is the menu number and ppp is the

Mechanical
installation
parameter number. For example, to access Pr 03.010 of an MCi210 installed in slot 2 of a drive
from a module in slot 3 it will be accessed using Pr 2.3.010.
The MCi210 module will also hold a copy of the host drive’s database. At power up, if the database
held in the MCi210 is different to that of the drive, the MCi210 will upload the drive's database and
overwrite the stored database. If the two databases match the drive's database will not be

uploaded.
A module that is powered up for the first time will not contain a drive database and therefore will
always perform a drive database upload.

5.3 Parameter save and restore

Any user-save parameters in the option module's internal menus are stored in non-volatile memory
on the module and not in the drive. Therefore, if the module is moved to a different slot or to a
different drive then any saved parameter values will follow the module. If a module is to be
replaced, ensure that the parameter values for the module have been backed up before replacing
it.

5.4 Remanent variables

The module supports both Retain and Persistent variables. Both of these types of variable allow
values to be retained after a power-cycle or module reset, however there is a difference between
Retain and Persistent variables.

This parameter specifies which User Customizable Image folder is currently selected and therefore
which user program is launched when the module is initialized. The currently selected folder is used
for any PC Tool downloads and may not be the same as the Active UCI Number.
This allows for multiple user programs / customizations to be stored in the option module. If the
selected UCI has been changed the module must be reset for the new application to become
active.
Please note the difference between the Selected UCI and the Active UCI (Active UCI number
(S.01.002)). The Selected UCI is the image that the user wishes to be active after a module reset,
the Active UCI displays the UCI image currently active.

This parameter specifies the watchdog timer for the receive link. If no cyclic data is received on the
receive link the action taken will be determined by the setting in Rx Timeout Action (S.10.046,

NOTE It is good system design to allow for some message loss by setting the timeout duration
to be greater than the transmit period by a factor of 2 or more.

The MCi210 module offers timer functionality. The Timer Unit can be configured to be clocked from
one of two digital inputs or the module's internal clock. When the internal clock is used, the
frequency can be selected from four possible values; 50 MHz, 12.5 MHz, 3.125 MHz and 781.25
kHz.
Two modes of operation are supported; Free running mode or Capture mode. Capture mode allows
the value of the Timer Unit counter to be captured using the module's digital input 3.
Event task triggering is also supported. One of four Event tasks may be configured to run on a
Timer Event occurring. The Event will be either the capture of the counter value counter value
rollover.

10.1 Run-time errors

Mechanical
installation
A run-time error is an error which occurs in a specific operation of module. It can happen as a result
of an error in the execution of the user's program (such as trying to write to a parameter that doesn't
exist, or trying to divide a value by zero), a misconfiguration or a system error such as processor
overload or watchdog time-out.

installation
• The action taken when an error occurs may be one or more of the following:

Electrical
• User program may be halted or prevented from starting
• Drive may be tripped on SlotX Error (where X is the slot number) with the sub-trip providing
details of the exact fault.
• Drive may be tripped on another option module related trip.

Parameters
• The ERROR task may be executed (if it exists).
Which of these occurs depends upon the type of error and the setting of the global run-time trip
enable parameter Pr S.01.014.

Variable allocation
10.2 Drive trip display codes

menus
If the option module detects an error during operation, it will force a trip on the drive. However, the
trip string displayed on the drive will only indicate which slot initiated the trip. The exact reason for
the trip will be indicated in the drive trip code parameters (Pr 10.020 and Pr 10.070).
The table below shows the possible trips that will be displayed on the drive when a problem is
detected with the option module or when the option module initiates a trip.

10.3 Run-time error codes
The Run-time error code parameter (Pr S.01.049) will show a text string describing the current
module specific error condition. In certain conditions the drive will also be tripped. In these
circumstances "SlotX Error" will be shown on the drive display along with the relevant sub-trip
string.

NOTE • "May" under Drive Trip indicates that the drive will only trip if the global run-time trip
enable parameter is set
• "Not Run" under Program Halted indicates that the error occurs at initialization and
the program will not be started.

10.3.1 Handling Run-Time Errors with the ERROR task

information
Certain run-time errors will cause the ERROR task to be invoked if it exists. This provides a

Safety
convenient way to safely handle the error condition and take whatever action is necessary, such as
a controlled stop of the system or signalling of an alarm.
When an ERROR task runs, all other tasks will have been stopped. Therefore the ERROR task has

Introduction
exclusive execution rights. Once the ERROR task has completed, the program ends and no other
tasks operate.

NOTE Drive trips do not cause the ERROR task to run. Only certain user program errors do.

Mechanical
When the option module is reset (Pr S.00.007 = On (1)), this will restart the user program (providing

installation
auto-run Pr S.01.013=1) and clear any drive trip. This reset action can be performed at any time,
not just after a run-time error or in an ERROR task.
The task that caused a run-time error can be determined by reading Pr S.01.050.
