2.3 Precautions For Wiring To Control Signals

9 When wiring (control circuit wiring) to the control terminal block, separate the main circuit wiring
(terminals L1, L2, L3, U, V, W) and the other starter wires and power wires.

9 Use a 0.13 (AWG26) to 0.8mm² (AWG18) wire for wiring to the control circuit. The tightening
torque must be 0.6N.m (5.3lb-inch).

9 Use a twisted pair wire or twisted pair shield wire for wiring to the analog signal circuit such as the
analog references and meters. Connect the shield wire to the 0V terminal of the unit. The wire
length must be 30 meters (98.4’) or less.

9 The length of the sequence input/output contact wire must be 50 meters (164’) or less.

9 Changing the jumper position JP1 in PCA-2005B between “SINK” and “SOURCE” position
respectively can change the sequence input between sink logic and source logic. Open cover
designated as “Control Unit” to access this jumper.

9 Observe the precautions listed in " 5. Control Input/Output Terminals"

9 After wiring, always check the mutual wiring.

9 At this time do not carry out a megger check or buzzer check on the control circuit.
• Are there any wire scraps or foreign matter left around the terminals?
• Are any screws loose?
• Is the wiring correct?
• Is any terminal contacting any other terminal?
If so, take the necessary corrective measures before proceeding further.

Appendix-B: Fault Codes

Sr. Fault Name Fault Description


No.
1 Over Current Fault This fault indicates that the unit has tripped due to excessive over
current. (250% of the rated current). This fault occurs when the load
current exceed the value set under I-Trip Level (B307). This fault
gives the instantaneous Over Current trip. A short circuit condition on
the output will also cause the unit to display this fault.
2 Under Current Fault This fault occurs when the load current falls below the set value
under I-Low Level (B303) for a set time in I-Low Time (B304). This
active only during the running condition.
3 I-Unbalance Fault This fault occurs when the current between any two phases differ by
the value set under the I-Unbalance Level (B205) for a set time in I
Unbalance Delay (B206).
4 Overload Fault . This fault also occur whenever the load current exceeds the value
set under I- Limit (B301) for a set time in I-Limit Time (B302).
5 Over Voltage Fault This fault occurs whenever the input voltage to the unit exceeds
+20% of the value set under the rated input voltage (B101). If this
fault occurs, this fault is instantaneous in order to protect the unit.
7 Firing Fault A firing fault means that after the firing pulses are sent to the thyristor
is not conducting. This would normally occur only if the thyristor has a
faulty gate or if the thyristor is open circuit or, one or more thyristors
are short-circuited or if the thyristor firing circuit is faulty, or one or
more load windings are open circuited.
8 Phase Loss Fault This fault will occur when one or more input phases are lost or the
input voltage falls below the 300V.
9 External Fault This fault occurs if the external fault input selected at the terminal is
missing. This comes from the user.
10 Emergency Stop This fault indicates that the unit has shut down due to the emergency
stop command. This also comes from the user.
11 EEPROM Fault This fault indicates that the data received from the EEPROM is
incorrect. After reset, it will store default values in the EEPROM
memory.
12 Ground Fault This fault indicates that the unit has shut down due to ground fault.
Before reset, check that any output is not shorted with the ground.
13 Communication Loss If the slave (main control unit) is not responding to the master (Digital
Operation Panel), this fault will occur. It is auto reset type. If the
communication resumes, this will be cleared.
14 Phase Direction Fault This fault indicates that the phase sequence at the input to the unitr is
reversed.
15 Over Frequency Fault This fault occurs when the line frequency exceeds the +10% of the
supply frequency.
16 Under Frequency Fault This fault occurs when the line frequency below the -10% of the
supply frequency.
17 Temperature Fault This fault indicates that the heatsink temperature has rise above the
set value.

so large that the thyristor never come into conduction.
Sized the unit and load properly.
Otherwise contact your supplier.
7 Phase Loss Fault 1. The unit has lost one or more input phases.
Restore the power to the input of the unit.
2. There is a loose connection on the input side of the unit.
Repair the loose connection.
Otherwise contact your supplier.
3. The rated input voltage may have falls below the 300V.
Check mains supply voltage.
8 External Fault 1. The signal for the external fault is present at the PSI.
Check and correct it.
2. If the signal is not present, remove the selection of the external
fault with the help of Mode-C parameters.
3. There may be a problem in PCA-2005.
Remove the main control board PCA-2005.
9 Emergency Stop 1. The signal for the emergency stop input is present at the PSI.
Check and correct it.
2. If the signal is not present, remove the selection for emergency
stop with the help of Mode-C parameters.
3. There may be a problem in PCA-2005.
Remove the control board PCA-2005.
10 EEPROM Fault 1. Data received from the EEPROM is incorrect or out of range.
On fault reset, default values will be stored in the EEPROM.
2. If again fault occurs after power recycling, replace PCA-2005.
11 Ground Fault 1. A ground fault may have occurred in the output line or load.
Check that any output is not shorted with the ground.
2. One or more current transformer may have problem.
Remove the current transformer feedback and check.
3. If still fault persists, replace PCA-2005; otherwise replace the
problematic current transformer.
12 Communication Loss 1. Check the communication cable between master (LCD Display
unit) and slave (Main control unit).
2. Disable the fault using C405.
3. There may be problem in display board PCA-2012.
Replace the display board PCA-2012and check again.
4. There may be problem in control board PCA-2005.
Replace the display board PCA-2005 and check again.
13 Phase Dirn Fault 1. Check the phase sequence of the mains power supply, if the
phase sequence is reverse, change any two phases.
Disable the fault using B212.
14 Under Freq Fault 1. If this fault occurs, it will cause the fluctuation in speed.
Switch off the main supply.
15 Over Freq Fault 1. If this fault occurs, it will cause the fluctuation in speed.
Switch off the main supply.
16 Temperature Fault 1. A trouble may have occurred in the cooling blower.
Replace it if necessary.
2. The ambient temperature may have risen.
