Active 401/201 Inverter

The new BONFIGLIOLI frequency inverters in the ACTIVE series,

with output power from 0.55 kW to 65 kW, are ideal for driving
a broad range of applications starting right from the basic version.
ACTIVE 401/201 is a "System Drive", i.e. an intelligent control
device which, thanks to new integrated PLC functions and
generous connectivity capabilities for interfacing with the most
common bus systems on the market, constitutes a comprehensive
automation solution.
ACTIVE 401/201 offers several enhancements with respect to
the previous series:
- Broader power range, with the new size 6 (37 to 65 kW);
- Even more compact dimensions;
- Greater precision of control and quieter motor operation thanks
to 8 kHz switching frequency of all models without derating;
- Complete compatibility with the power sizes of the Bonfiglioli
range of motors.
The new ACTIVE 401/201 series, is moreover, completely
compatible with 400/200 models, insofar that the casing design,
electrical connections, accessories, and configuration and
programming software all remain unchanged.
These inverters are specifically designed to provide an answer to
the broadest possible range of requirements in electrical drive
technology, specifically in the field of rated single-phase and
three-phase voltages of 230V for the ACT201 series and rated
three-phase voltages of 400V for the ACT401 series.
All the distinctive features of Bonfiglioli products – flexibility,
modular design and high performance, packed into a highly
compact unit, can be found in ACTIVE frequency inverters.
The benefits offered by these drives consist in their ease of
installation, thanks to a vast range of mechanical mounting
options and simple electrical interfaces to suit a variety of inverter
wiring requirements.
In line with this design philosophy, the software functions are
fully configurable and the type of motor control can be freely
selected by the user, starting from the simplest of systems
(sensorless) up to the most complex (vector feedback).
The functionality of ACTIVE frequency inverters makes it possible
to choose a size that is strictly in line with the application in
question thanks to the availability of numerous expansion and
communication modules with plug-in connections, thus enabling
the drive to meet the most demanding application requirements.
ACTIVE series frequency inverters afford ample configuration
flexibility – from simple speed control to highly dynamic and
complex servo control applications – to guarantee impeccable
results that are fully repeatable over time.

Optional components

Thanks to the modularity of their hardware components, ACTIVE frequency inverters are
easily integrated in automation applications. Optional on-board modules are automatically
recognised by the inverter when present (plug and play) right from the initialisation
phase, and the internal control functions of the unit are automatically adapted accordingly.
The modules available for connector A (see figure) can be plugged into the inverter
directly, while the cover must be removed in order to gain access to plug-in sections B
and C. If a communication module is added to section B the perforated part of the cover
must be eliminated. Further information on installation and management of the optional
modules is given in the specific documentation (optional equipment user handbooks).

Control unit / KP500

The KP500 control unit is equipped with a Parameters Copy function that allows the
user to upload parametric values from the inverter to a non-volatile memory installed
in the KP500 device, allowing the same values to be subsequently downloaded to
another inverter.
The control unit makes it possible to set up the inverter for specific applications and
allows the display of the service values of physical and electrical parameters.
The inverter can also be controlled from the control unit for start/stop and frequency
reference increase/decrease commands. Since the control unit is not indispensable for
inverter operation it can be connected exclusively when the user considers it useful or
necessary.

Interface / KP-232

Serial interface KP232 can be used as an alternative to control unit KP500. This connection
enables parameterisation, monitoring, setting management, inverter control and even
commissioning from a PC or laptop computer. The serial point-to-point connection
between inverter and PC complies with specifications for transmission between data
terminals (DTE) and data communication equipment (DCE), requiring, in this mode, a
serial pin-to-pin cable with DB9 male connector on the inverter side.
The KP232 interface is compatible with lines no longer than 15 metres. The serial
transmission protocol ensures high data security and does not require handshake signals
between computer and inverter.
The VPlus software application can be supplied as an accessory. This program, which
runs in Windows, is dedicated to the complete management of the ACTIVE inverter from
a PC, including the functions of commissioning and parameterisation, which calls for
the presence of hardware interface KP232, CM232 or CM485. The VPlus package also
includes a digital Oscilloscope Function. The oscilloscope has four traces configurable
for inverter monitoring also with graphic capabilities.

RS232 / CM-232 serial communication

The optional CM-232 communication card enables RS232 serial connection of the
ACTIVE inverter to an external control device or PC to ANSI standard EIA/TIA-232E and
CCITT V.28. The standard defines the electrical and mechanical characteristics of serial
connections between data terminating equipment (DTE) and data communication
equipment (DCE).
The serial interface, in the form of a DB9 plug, features DCE type pinouts.
The serial transmission protocol guarantees high data security and allows connection,
also without handshake signals, thereby reducing the required number of connection
lines to just three.
As in all transmission processes, the maximum permissible distance between the various
bus subscribers (inverters) and the master (PC, PLC) depends on the cable used and the
selected transmission rate. Also this option can be supplied with the VPlus application
for inverter programming and monitoring. Unlike the KP232, the CM232 does not
support the oscilloscope function incorporated in the VPlus package, since the baud rate
is restricted to 19.2 kb.

RS485 / CM-485 serial communication

The CM-485 communication card is designed for the transmission of serial data at high
speed over long distances in industrial applications. The RS485 bus supports data
transmission among 30 subscribers in a bi-directional two-wire system.
In compliance with the standard, the interface is implemented on a DB9 connector.
Physical transmission of data on a 2-wire serial bus complies with standards ITU V.11
and ANSI EIA/TIA-422B. The pinout of the DB9 connector ensures straightforward wiring.
The CM-485 communication card also contains a 150 Ω burden resistor for network
termination, which can be activated by means of an on-board dipswitch. The standard
interface allows an address node limit of a maximum of 30 inverters on the network
bus. The RS485 network address of the inverter is programmed by means of software
parameters via the KP500 control unit or by means of serial communication with KP232,
which are compatible with the presence of CM485 on board the inverter.
The RS485 transmission protocol complies with ISO standard 1745 for code-bound data
transmission. The standard transmission rate and monitoring functions are parameterised
by means of the frequency inverter software.
Also the CM-485 module supports VPlus communication software.

VPlus for PC

VPlus is a software application for management of Bonfiglioli ACTIVE and VCB inverters
using a PC connected to the drive by means of an RS232 or RS485 serial interface.
For this purposes the ACTIVE inverter must be equipped with the optional KP232 interface
or with communication module CM232 or CM485.
The program is a highly useful accessory in all phases of the application, from inverter
commissioning to run-time monitoring.
The user interface features an ergonomic structure that supports the user during
programming, management, and monitoring, allowing storage of data sets by saving
them to file and subsequent retrieval for the reverse procedure of downloading to the
inverter.
VPlus requires a PC running Windows 98/NT/2000/XP and an RS232 or RS485 standard
serial port with DB9 connector, grounded to avoid problems of disturbance on signals
exchanged between inverter and computer.
The menus / submenus structure provides subdivision of parameters by uniform groups.
The interface language can be English, Italian, or German.
The VPlus program also provides the facility for modem connection for remote diagnostics
operations on the inverter.

OSCILLOSCOPE function

The Oscilloscope Function of the ACTIVE inverter is an application package integrated

in the Bonfiglioli VPlus program which, by means of the acquisition of signals arriving
from the drive core, enables the graphic representation of both the power and control
waveforms for the purposes of field technical diagnosis optimisation of the applications.
An essential requirement for the use of the integrated oscilloscope is the installation
of interface module KP232 on the inverter. When connected to the PC using a standard
DB9 female-female cable this interface creates 115 kbit/s acquisition channels of the
four traces shown on the computer screen.

German standard DIN 19245. The PROFIBUS version, which is optimised in order to
provide excellent performance in terms of speed and reduced connection costs, has been
adapted in a targeted manner for communication between automation systems and
decentralised peripheral devices.
The "variable speed drives" profile (PROFIDRIVE) for electrical drives technology identifies
five standardised data messages, the so-called parametric process data objects (PPO),
which must be previously configured in the Profibus master at the time the GSD file is
loaded. The software of the ACTIVE inverter supports types PPO1, PPO2, PPO3 and

System bus / EM-SYS module

The system bus of ACT inverters is a communication means based on the CANopen
protocol that enables rapid exchange of data between the inverters and access, by a
system bus master, to the parametric data of all devices connected on the system bus.
The system bus nodes (max. 64) are connected by a two-wire line.
The bus termination at the physically first and last node can alternatively be activated
via two DIP switches of the EM-SYS module. Active or passive bus termination can be
selected.
The system bus is equipped with three PDO (Process Data Object) channels that allow
rapid exchanges of process data for each inverter. There are also two SDO (Service Data
Object) channels for parameterisation purposes.
Thanks to the three PDO channels with one transmission and one reception channel,
all inverter data can be transmitted. Among other advantages, this makes it possible to
create master/slave and daisy chain configurations easily, while ensuring very high
precision and speed.

Resolver Module / EM-RES-01

The EM-RES01 angular position transducer module extends the standard functions of
the frequency inverter by providing a supplementary input for a resolver (electromechanical
absolute speed sensor).
Speed sensors of this type, referred to also as angular position transducers or angle
speed sensors, provide the instantaneous motor shaft position value also when the
motor is at a standstill, and its current angular position with respect to a complete
revolution.
The 6 terminals of the module EM-RES01 are provided for connection of the two sinØ
and cosØ track signals generated by the transducer and also carry the resolver power
supply voltage.
The module EM-RES01 also supplies an emulation output of a digital incremental speed
sensor through the generation of squarewave signals A, , B, , which can be utilised
for spinning shaft synchronisation of any connected slave inverters.
The EM-S1INA multifunction analog input (± 10 V or ± 20 mA) extends the standard
functions of the ACT frequency inverter.

By default the ACT frequency inverter is supplied with configuration 110.

Configurations can be changed from the control unit or PC (VPlus) by means of parameter
P030.
Configuration 110 is recommended for low dynamic applications or for speed control
of several motors in parallel (in the event that the inverter selection criterion is based
on the sum of the rated currents of the motors to be driven).
Configuration 111 is recommended for driving turbine machinery (pumps and fans).
Configuration 410 provides high dynamic performance also at low speed without the use
of a speed sensor. For enhanced performance the motor data must be entered and the
system must be tuned; in addition, the speed controller must be set up for the optimisation
of dynamic performance in accordance with the moment of inertia of the load.
This configuration can also be used for simple resolvers by implementing the internal
function for positioning from an external reference point (e.g. proximity switch).
Configuration 460 is particularly suitable for elevators and lifting drives in general
(cranes, travelling hoists, etc.).
Configuration 210 requires the use of a speed sensor (push-pull or line driver); this
configuration allows the most precise load control in terms of speed and torque,
including control with nominal torque at zero rpm (standstill with torque).
Configuration 216 can be utilised for synchronous tie applications between several
motors with definition of angular phase differences between each axis.

Parking brake control (X60 configurations)

Many drives, particularly in the mechanical engineering industry, require a holding brake
that maintains the position that has been reached even in the event of power losses.
An extended system is available for holding brake control for lifting drives. In addition
to holding brake control, this includes also control of the circuit breaker between motor
and inverter in certain cases (e.g. elevators).
To compensate for the response time of mechanical components, parameterisation of
switching times can be executed with timers. This solution makes it possible to optimise
starting and stopping behaviour in the case of suspended loads.

Data can be exchanged between inverters with very high speed and precision by means
of the PDO channels. Data exchange can take place between any of the inverters in
the systembus.

In the case of a master/slave control, nominal speed is transmitted from the master
inverter to the slaves. This strategy makes it possible to obtain an adjustable speed
ratio between the master and one or more slaves. In the case that speed sensors are
used on the master and on the slaves, it is possible to implement a synchronous tie
with angular ratios that can be modified on-line.

Why an input filter? Input filter

An Input Filter is a filtration device to be installed up-line from the frequency inverter and down-line from
the power feeding contactor.
The ac/dc rectifier at the inverter input generates harmonic disturbance on the absorbed current and returns
disturbance generated by switching components towards the mains. Power Power
Harmonic current causes voltage distortions on the mains resulting in electromagnetic interference feeding line feeding line
phenomena.
This harmonic distortion is reduced by means of line chokes, while disturbance is countered with EMI filters
(attenuation of EMI voltages) such as those described below.
Note: The use of input filters reduces inverter the input voltage. If required, these filters should be installed EMI filter
up-line from the inverter in the following order:
Line choke
1. Mains supply
2. Line choke
3. EMI filter
4. Inverter

Line choke
- Line chokes are not strictly necessary: their use depends on the system engineer's need to reduce
harmonic distortion in the short circuit point, and the need to reinforce the action of the EMI filter. A
line choke is normally used if the mains short circuit power is lower than 1%.
- A line choke is recommended for the ACT201 and ACT401 frequency inverter series in the presence of
high continuous input current required by the application, in order to increase the lifetime of the
electrolytic capacitors.
- A line choke is always required in single and two-phase operation of the ACT201 frequency inverters.

EMI filter
- An EMI filter can be used in order to achieve Class "A" (groups 1, 2) or Class "B" interference suppression
- The EMI filter is available in a low leakage current version for special applications.
- The EMI - filter is part of the standard outfit in sizes of up to 4.0 kW and it is supplied as an optional
for higher sizes in an internal (up to 7.5 kW) or external (above 7.5 kW) version.
Note: Connection to public power networks without further measures must be considered in relation to
the provisions of standard EN 61000-3-2. Inverters ≤ 7.5 kW with integral EMI filters meet the emission
thresholds defined by the standard EN 61800-3 with a motor cable length of up to 10 m without requiring
any additional measures. Higher requirements related to the need of the specific application in which the
frequency inverter is installed can be fulfilled by fitting optional components. Line chokes and EMI filters
are available as optional equipment for the inverter series described in this manual.

Line choke

The simplest way of reducing high harmonic components and hence reactive power
is connecting a choke in series on the mains side of the inverter. Depending on the
system, reactive power consumption can be reduced by approximately 20% of the
figure without line choke.
The line choke increases inductance towards the mains. Mains feed line choke can be
regarded as sufficient if short-circuit power is from 20 to 40 times higher than the
inverter nominal output.
The inverter is suitable for connection to public or industrial mains supplies in compliance
with technical data. If the supply mains transformer output is ≤ 500 kVA, the optional
mains choke is needed only if specified in the inverter technical data. The other inverters
are suitable for the connection to the mains without a mains choke with relative
impedance ≥ 1%. If it is desired to connect more than one inverter, use the sum of the
nominal outputs as a basis.
Since experience has shown that the nominal short circuit power on the inverter
connection point is often unknown, BONFIGLIOLI recommends the use of mains chokes
with 4% voltage drop.

The relative short circuit voltage equivalent to a 4% voltage drop represents the
percentage of the nominal voltage at which a current equal to rated current flows in
the case of a short circuit.
The European reference standard for harmonics is EN 60 555, while in the US and
Canada systems must comply with standard IEEE 519 and various generic national
regulations.

EMI filter

Due to their operational characteristics, inverters generate high harmonic currents at

low frequency and EMI voltages at frequencies of up to 100 MHz. These currents feed
back into the mains and are generally referred to as interference.
Interference is undesirable and, even more, when it exceeds a certain threshold, it starts
to damage other connected consumers and sometimes even the inverter itself. Interference
voltages are attenuated thanks to the use of mains filters.
If necessary, mains filters can be supplied for specific applications with very low leakage
currents (use of residual current devices with low trip current settings). Clearly, the use
of the most suitable residual current device must be checked, together with the
architecture of the system.
Frequency inverters from ACT401-05 to ACT401-31 can be connected to a filter located
under the unit (foot mount), thus making it possible to optimise spaces and connections
in enclosure-mounting.
The mains filters listed below are able to solve EMI interference problems in which the
suppression of interference towards the line to EN61800-3 standards is required.

Braking Resistor

During the use of the inverters conditions may arise in which the motor rotor frequency
is higher than the stator frequency set by the inverter, especially during rapid motor
deceleration; this situation leads to the effect known as negative slip.
In such situations motors operate as generators and they supply power that is absorbed
by the inverter resulting in the possibility of an inverter trip due to overvoltage.
To prevent this problem a braking resistor can be connected to the inverter to absorb
all the energy generated by the motor, which is thus transformed into heat.
All ACTIVE inverter models contain a brake unit (chopper) that allows the use of the
external braking resistor.
Each ACTIVE inverter size is associated with a recommended Bonfiglioli braking resistor
designed to allow the dissipation of energy in accordance with the most demanding
application dynamics.
