INTRODUCTION

FOX SERIES

In spite of its compact dimensions, the inverter FOX has several control features. When installed between mains and
motor, the inverter will increase their performance by offering a long continuous service that will result in saving.

FOX

The main characteristic of the FOX inverter is its efficient and flexible control of motor speed. In this way, the
asynchronous motor can be used in a wider range of applications, with a more regular rotation and a significant reduction of
noise compared to the older inverters.
The FOX inverter can be used not only in the industrial field, e.g. machines, conveyor belts, etc., but also in the civil
field where its good performance and noiseless operation are essential features for its use.
- High torques at low revolution number
The FOX inverter produces high torques at low revolution number without discontinuity thanks to the automatism that,
being activated from 0.1 Hz, assures a safe start of the motor .
- Noise disappearance
With the FOX inverter, those annoying noises typical of the older inverters will never be heard. The noiseless operation
of the inverter is due to a proper method of creating the waveform of the voltage that supplies the motor.
- Continuity of operation in power failure state
In case of temporary power failure, the FOX inverter stops and starts again, and keeps the preset control
characteristics without having to stop the motor.
- Easy operation
A panel consisting of four keys, one display with four 7-segment digits and three leds allows you to easily operate the
FOX inverter.
The display and the keys allow you to change all the inverter parameters so as to make it suitable to all applications.
The display also shows the values controlled, e.g. frequency or current, and the error codes in case of improper operation.
A programming key device allows to copy the preset control characteristic of the inverter for transferring parameters
from and to or between inverters.
Besides being controlled from panel, the FOX inverter can be easily remote controlled and programmed through series
connection by means of a proper communication protocol.
However, the run, stop, speed reversal and change operations are performed, as usual, through terminal board.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOX SERIES

General safety instructions


Throughout the text, the following Danger symbols indicate paragraphs containing particular instructions that must be
carefully read so as to assure safety conditions to users:

This warns the user about the presence of a dangerous voltage. It indicates the presence of High
Voltage conditions that can cause serious damages or even death.

This indicates a general danger or very important operation notes.

Warnings

Electrical devices can represent a risk source for personnel safety. It is therefore necessary to know all usage
methods and unit control devices perfectly before using the machine.
The machine should then be used by skilled personnel only, aware of the installation and operation rules, in
compliance with the safety and protection standards, and able to interpret all danger warnings.
The capacitors contained in the machine have dangerous high voltages. After cutting power off, you should wait
at least 5 minutes before performing any operation.
With stopped motor, dangerous voltages can be present on the entire power terminal board:
terminals L1, L2, L3, U, V, W.
In particular adjustment programming conditions, after a power failure, the machine could start automatically.

Warranty and Notes on


Responsibilities

The warranty conditions valid at purchase time will be applied.


Any responsibility will be declined for damages occurring during
transportation or unpacking.

The unit is designed for motor speed control only. Do not use it for other applications.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages deriving from improper use or installation or inadeguate ambient conditions,
as well as for damages due to improper rated values.
Nor will, the manufacturer be responsible for consequential or accidental damages.
No intervention has to be perfomed on parts inside the machine: when installing, just remove the terminal board cover panel.
Any tampering or use of spare parts or other parts not supplied by the manufacturer, besides making the warranty void, may
cause damages and/or serious accidents.
The warranty will cover a period of 24 months after delivery to the final user and, in any case, will not last more than 36 months
from delivery by SIRCO, if not otherwise indicated in the sale conditions.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FOX SERIES

The FOX inverters are converters with D.C. intermediate circuit. When connected with a common single or threephase mains,
they produce a threephase, variable-frequency, A.C. voltage, used to control the speed of threephase asynchronous motors.
The control circuit has a microprocessor properly programmed.
The control keyboard allows the user to easiliy and quickly enter any parameter necessary for the required working conditions.
The threephase, variable frequency, alternate voltage, controlled by microprocessor, is delivered to the motor through a power
module which uses the most recent IGBT technology.
The use of microprocessor, IGBT technology and modulation frequency programming, assures an extremely accurate and
silent operation.
The software, properly developed for power electronics, allows for an accurate and quick control of motor speed, start and stop
times which can be independently adjusted, and other operation conditions:
l Speed control as a function of the load is by current adjustment, thus allowing for automatic adjustment to process.
l Automatic boost that allows for a safe start of the motor by acting on the torque as a function of the load. Presence
of high torques and rotation evenness at very low frequencies too.
l Direct current braking, with programmable duration and value, allowing for a comfortable motor stop.
l Presence of a PID-type inner regulator, which can be freely configured, to control the motor speed and/or torque.
l Presence of a standard series line, with programmable transmission modes, to remote program and/or control the
converter.
Further, the unit is provided with two programmable relay outputs and two programmable opto-insulated digital outputs, for
alarms and machine state signalling. It also has an analog output that indicates, through selection, the trend of the main values
of the inverter.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

FOX SERIES

GUIDELINES

In order to obtain a safe operation of the unit, assembly and start-up should be performed by skilled person
nel only, according to the general regulations concerning safety conditions when working with high currents
or voltages.

Mechanical installation
Removal of the heat produced by the inverter is performed by ventilating with natural air flow, in low power models, and
by means of fan in all other models.
When assembling, leave a space of at least 40 mm. from the sides and 150 mm. above and below the inverter, so as
to assure a free circulation of the cooling air. In case of stacking of more units, leave a vertical space of at least 300
mm. between them.
The site should assure the ventilation air is free from dust or corrosive gases, otherwise a regular cleaning of the cooling surfaces must be performed. Avoid, in any case, the condensation of the sprayed fluids. The ambient humidity
should never exceed 90%.
In working conditions, the temperature inside the cabinet should never exceed 40 C. If it should, it will be necessary
to perform a derating of the unit or a forced ventilation so as to avoid air stagnation.
Warning: When calculating the overall dimensions, also consider the space required for installation of antinoise filters.
Electrical installation
The inverters are designed to operate in an industrial environment where high levels of electro-magnetic disturbance must
be expected. Good installation practice usually ensure trouble-free operation, however it is suggested that a good earth
connection and RFI filters should be used. The RFI filters ensure a reduction of radiated or conducted interference when the
inverter is in a interference sensible environment.
To connect the inverter, just remove the cover which protects the power and control terminal boards.
The FOX series is designed both for 220V / 240V single phase or three phase supply (FOX2M004...2T022 ) and 380V
/ 460V three phase supply (FOX4T008...4T110 ).
For supply cables, we recommend using two-wire (phase + neutral) shielded cable or four-wire (the three phases+earth)
shielded cable, with the earth cable external but parallel to the shield; dimensionning must consider a V on cable not
more than 5% of mains voltage as per EN60204-1.
The same cable can be used for motor connection too. The cable length should never exceed 30 m. If it should,
use
additional inductances, series-connected with cables, to balance the parasitic capacities. In this case, a reduction of motor voltage can be noticed.
Warning: The inverter supply must be protected by means of fuses or automatic switch.
Make sure the cables are properly connected and, in particular, check that the earth connection is correctly locked. In case
of shielded supply cables, connect the shield with the G(EARTH) terminal on drive and motor side.
The power cables must be kept separate from the signal cables. The standards require the use of separate raceways.
For control cables, use a shielded cable with a section of at least 0.5 mm 2. The shield should be connected with
PE (0V, terminal 16) on drive side only.
For connection of reference signals or serial line, use twisted cables.
Connect spark quenching units in parallel to relay coils, solenoid valves, remote control switches located near the unit, as
suggested on the following table:

OR SOLENOID VALVE TYPE

Warning: The protection circuit failure towards earth must ONLY protect the inverter against failures
towards earth, occurring on the motor cable or on the motor itself. It is NOT designed to protect
people who accidentally touch the motor or the corresponding supplying cable.
It is forbidden: to connect PFC devices to output terminals between inverter and motor;
to connect capacitors between output terminals or output terminals and earth;

10

It is not advisable: to connect remote control switches to output terminals between inverter and motor.

INSTALLATION - INSTRUCTIONS

WIRING HINT
Note: To connect the inverter it is necessary to conform to the following indications:
1 - Power supply wiring: only the three power wires must be shielded; the ground wire, which is obligatory, must
be external to the shield and run parallel to it.
2 - Both the inverter side and the motor or filter side of the shield must be grounded.
3 - The ferrite toroid must be put on the inverter side of the cable in a way to cover the part of the cable uncovered from
the shield.
4 - The power cables must be kept separated from the signal cables; it is forbidden to install power and signal cables in
the same conduit or duct. It is important to hold motor wiring as far as possible from the power supply wiring.
5 - Use high quality motors, with low parasitic capacities towards ground.
The input filter increases leak currents towards ground; so it is advisable use a overcurrent switch with a tripping current
not lower than 100 mA .
The following drawing shows the wiring method wich is in compliance with the standards.

If the system where the inverter is installed is


provided withovercurrent switch, this one
should be calibrated for a tripping current not
lower than 100 mA and for a time not lower than 0,1 sec.
Further, it must be able to support high frequency
disturbance events.
Here, the cables section indicated is the lowest one
required when the length does not exceed 30 m. In this
way, the leakages are reduced and the voltage drop do
not exceed 5% of the supply voltage, as specified in
EN60204-1 standard.

OPERATION

FOX SERIES

Before turning the inverter on, make sure the cover is locked in position. After each turning off,
CAUTION wait some minutes before opening the unit so as to allow the capacitors to discharge.
For safety reasons, at power on or after a reset due to an alarm, the inverter is factory-preset not to
start even with run control in active state. To start the motor, you should set the control first to OFF and then to ON (this
safety precaution can be intentionally cancelled through parameter b-03).
l

Turning on

The inverter is not provided with a ON/OFF switch. This operation is performed by appliying the mains voltage. After voltage
application, the inverter performs a test. If an error is encountered during this test, the display will show the message Err
The display, consisting of four 7-segment digits, shows both letters and numbers. When turned on, it shows the output
frequency value ( 0Hz with stopped motor).
The inverter is factory-preset to control standard motors which operate with voltages and currents having values
corresponding to the inverter size.
l

Run

1 - Connect a 4,7 kOhm potentiometer for speed reference (terminals 24, 25, 26).
2 - Connect two contacts for forward and backward run control (terminals 2, 1, and 7/8 ) as shown on page 6.
3 - Close the the run contact to start the motor . The motor is started at the frequency selected through the preset ramp
(5 seconds from 0 Hz to maximum frequency).
If the factory - preset values should be modified to adapt the inverter to the application, it can
ATTENTION be made through the control panel where the actual values can be displaied, then modified, and
then permanently stored.
l

Stop

To stop the motor, proceed as follows:


- Disable the run control. In this way, the motor is stopped with factory-preset ramp (5 seconds from max. frequency
to 0 Hz).
- Or set to zero the speed reference potentiometer, so that the user has control over the motor stop.
Caution: in this case the motor is still live.
l

The motor does not start

If after enabling the run control, the motor does not start, first check that the connections shown on page 6 have been
performed, then check that the factory-preset parameters meet the motor characteristics.
The parameters can be checked through the P menu. Press the M key until the P menu appears, then, through the keys,
select the code of the parameter with the value to be checked and press the E key to get its value. Important are the data of
the motor rating characteristics that can be set through the parameters P-01, P-02, P-09, P-11, P-12 (page 19).

When selecting the analog input, it is possible to change the formula that transforms the reference input signal into
the motor supply frequency through the following parameters:
P-14
determines the minimum frequency (offset); it can assume negative values too.
P-15
determines the gain.
b-04
enables the formula reversal (a minimum signal corresponds to a maximum frequency).
Let us assume that the input is a 0/10 Vvoltage analog signal:

In any case Fref. will always be limited between P-73 and P-01.
As a alternative to the above mentioned method, the frequency reference can be selected by re-calling some
frequencies preset through parameters F, by means of some contacts to be connected to 3 of the 5 digital input
corresponding to terminals 17, 18, 19, 20, 4 of the control terminal board (figures on page 8 and 9).
To do so, you must configure as a reference frequency switches, 3 of the 5 inputs with parameters, according to the
following order :P-39, P-40, P-41, P-42, P-43. These inputs state will give the result indicated on the following table:

DESCRIPTION
Selects the motor base frequency (rated); this frequency is associated to the
motor max. voltage set through P-02.
Selects the intermediate frequency.
Selects the voltage applied to the motor as regards the intermediate
frequency.
To make this value independent from the inverter supply voltage fluctuation
enable the automatic adjustement function of the output voltage by setting
b-32=1. In this case, the inverter can be supplied through a voltage higher
than the motor rated one. If b-32=0 then the voltage value setted by P-02
must matches the motor rated voltage.
The value of the applied voltage can be controlled through the terminal board
by applying a 0/10 V signal to the AUX-V input (term. 22) and setting P47=10.This voltage is added to the V/F characteristic in a decreasing way,
until it is annulled at the intermediate frequency (P-71). (fig. A)
Is the ramp begin frequency at start and the ramp end frequency at
stop.
The maximum output voltage value is limited to (P-74*P-02)/100 value.
This value can be adjusted through terminal board by applying a 0/10 V
signal to the AUX-V input (term. 22) and setting P-47=2
If b-16=0, the reduction is always active; if b-16=1 the reduction is inactive
during the ramps, so that the torque is completely available both in
acceleration and decelerazione state. (fig. B)
Time to go to from 0% to 100% of V and viceversa
NOTE : too short times cause excessive current peaks.

DESCRIPTION
Particular frequencies with which the inverter supplies the motor can cause
undesired vibrations to the mechanical parts coupled to the motor.
Parameters P-34 and P-35 can be set to exclude two of these frequency.
Defines the frequency interval amplitude, to the left or right of the jump frequency.E.g.:
the interval around jump frequency no. 1ranges from (P-34)-(P-36) to (P-34)+(P36). Note: the two intervals can overlap. To disable an interval, the related
frequency set by P-34 or P-35 must be set to 0 Hz.
The output frequency can be limited independently of the maximum and minimum
values defined by parameters P-01 e P-14.
The output frequency can exceed the maximum frequency set by P-01 up to the
max. value of 110%. This is done by using the slip compensation function or the
speed feedback with the PID regulator.

JOGGING is a particular run control to advance the motor by small amounts. It


applies preset frequencies to the motor through parameter F-08 with acceleration
and deceleration ramps set through parameters P-25, P-26. It does not allow DC
current braking at startup or in stop condition If b-00 = 0: RUN = run, REV =
reversal, and the input Ix-JOG handles the jogging control. If RUN and Ix-JOG are
simultaneously enabled the first one enabled will override the other one.If b-00 =
1: RUN = forward run, REV = backward run, the Ix-JOG enables the jogging control
that overrides the normal run control.

7 = 18 kHz. High values of the switching frequency reduce or eliminate the electric
"noise" generated by the motor; viceversa, low values give a higher rotation fluidity
at low speed, especially if high torques are required.
Dead times compensation: it improves the torque and fluidity actions at low speed.
0 defines a natural sine modulation; 1 allows a flat sine modulation which causes
a lower inverter heating with high switching frequency values.
In case of output frequencies below 5 Hz, a 3 kHz switching frequency is
automatically selected.

Excessive current or voltage can cause motor stall or inverter lock conditions due
to protections tripping.The aim of the parameter is to set thresholds that, when
exceeded, trip some actions that limit currents and voltages:
b-24: if the threshold programmed through P-77 (in acceleration state and if f<P70, constant torque zone), or through P-78 ((in acceleration state and if f>P-70,
constant power zone) is exceeded, the ramp is stopped until the current remains
over this threshold.
b-25: if the threshold programmed through P-79 is exceeded (constant speed
operation) the output frequency is reduced at a rate controlled by P-82; As soon as
I falls below the theshold the frequency start to increase with the selected ramp.
b-26: the ramp is stopped when the voltage on filter capacitors is near the
overvoltage threshold; when the V falls under the threshold the ramp start again;
NOTE: the function can be unable to prevent the inverter lock in case of high-inertia
loads and short ramps.
b-27: if the voltage on filter capacitors exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the output
voltage is set to zero (corresponding to a coast-to-stop). As soon as the voltage
reaches safety levels,a free rotation motor pickup is executed and the deceleration
ramp is restarted.
NOTE: too short ramps can lock the inverter by overvoltage.

[1] (s)

through P-85, P-86:
P-85 set the indifference range to reference change as regards the constant
speed; P-86, instead, set the time after which, starting from ramp completion,
the motor is considered to be in constant speed state.

The aim of the function which detects the overload is to signal or avoid
excessive efforts on the load, causing the istantaneous locking of the inverter and the allarm signalling.
The treshold defined by P-55 is in % of the motor rated load as obtained
through parameters P-09, P-11.
The threshold exceeding can be signalled through terminal board by configuring the Ox-GTT output.
The parameter P-12 must be accurately set too.
P-56 Set how long the overload can exceed the tripping threshold before
the signalling and the inverter lock functions are enabled

P-32

b-17

Sirco Automazione 1997

The parameters avoid locking the inverter when happen a short mains
blackout.The mains cut off is signaled on the display and on the terminal
board by configuring one of digital outputs OUT1, OUT2, OUT3.
Note: 1)on single phase inverter it is advisable to reduce the P-75 value to the
minimum to prevent excessive startup currents. Otherwise it is possible that
the inverter lock by undervoltage. The alarm is always enabled if the voltage
falls under a given value that depends on the inverter size; 2) the tripping of
the prevention function sets the output voltage to zero, (coast-to-stop). In this
way, the filter capacitors are not completely discharged thus keeping the
control logic active. As soon as the voltage exceeds the threshold (hysteresis
of 6%), a pickup phase of motor in free rotation is performed, thus resetting
the speed in force before the tripping.
The aim of the pickup function of motor in free rotation is to avoid the higher
than normal startup currents generated when, for some causes the inverter
cuts the voltage to the motor, then a subsequent run command makes a start
from zero Hz with the motor still rotating.
This function generates an initial frequency, b-30, equal to or higher than the
motor one, by gradually increasing, P-84, the output voltage to 100 % and
controlling that the current does not exceed a preset threshold set by P-80,
(it is advisable that this value should be lightly higher than the current
absorbed by the motor ) otherwise the output frequency would be reduced and
the voltage would be limited.
The delay between the cut off of the motor voltage and when the motor pickup
phase start can be controlled by P-81 (demagnetization time).
The motor is considered frequency-locked when a given frequency is reached
so that, at full voltage, the current is under the threshold.The motor can then
be accelerated or decelerated until the reference is reached.
b-23 enables the uses of a frequency obtained from an encoder as initial
frequency for motor pickup.
The motor pickup function can be enabled through terminal board by
configuring one of the inputs as Ix-FLY input. If the Ix-FLY input is active, every
time the run control is pressed the motor pickup is performed.
This function is an alternative to the voltage (and torque) boost obtained
through parameter P-04 (pag. 24).The output voltage is automatically
increased as regards the motor and the connected load characteristics. The
efficiency of the action depends on the accuracy applied when setting the
parameters P-09, P-11, P-12.

The accuracy of f-encoder depends on the number of counted pulses: its value is 1/N-imp. At low speed, the accuracy could

Setting P-00=5 the f-encoder can be used as frequency reference, or as reference or feedback input of PID regulator.
The f-encoder value is on the display at position d-20 as frequency and at d-21 as speed. As 0/10 V analog signal, the f-encoder
value is available on the terminal board by presetting the corresponding analog output: P-48=11 (page 29).
The terminal board can signal the following: encoder rotation direction (in positive or negative logic), encoder stopped (no pulse

The inverter provides two voltages : +5V (pin 30) and +24V (pin 6). The inverter with encoder option, by default, can accept

The aim of D.C. braking is to


keep the motor locked in a fixed
position, it is not an alternative to
the ramp deceleration. The D.C.
braking consist in forcing a direct
current that depends from the
voltage set by P-28 and the
electrical characteristics of the
motor into a motor phase (ph. U).
With D.C. braking, the deceleration time is shorter than in case
of coast to stop. Sometime, at
startup, it mai be useful to lock
the motor for a preset time before
starting the acceleration ramp.
The braking current intensity can
also be adjusted through the
terminal board by means of a 0/
10V signal applied to the AUX-V
input (configured with P-47=3):
the current value changes
proportionally to the 0/10V signal
between 0 and the value fixed
through parameter P-28.
The function can also be enabled
or disabled through terminal board
by configuring one of the
programmable inputs (Ix-ENB)
as a control.
It is always possible to force a
direct current on the motor,
independently of the values
assumed by the parameters, by
configuring one of the terminal
board programable inputs (IxDCB) as control of for D.C.
braking.
During the D.C. braking, at

shows the message " dcb "

Serial line
DESCRIPTION

The inverter can communicate with a remote controller through a RS-485 2-wire serial line. In this case, the inverter behaves
like a "slave", i.e. it answers on special controller request only (master). Up to 32 inverters can be parallel connected with
addresses set between 1 and 99 through P - 68.
The address 99 is a specialized one since it is expected that it will be used when it is necessary to send a code to all inverters
simultaneously; in this case the reception of the code is assured to all inverters regardless of the individual address, the
acknowledgement will be made only from the inverter with address 99.
The serial line allows reading and writing all the parameters, forcing the various controls by replacing the keyboard or the
terminal board, or forcing the I/O as in a PLC. The parameters involved are:

The standards prevents devices from interferring to radio communication services other than induces malfunction on
equipment nearby the product one.
The FOX inverters are electrical equipments designed to control the speed of A.C. motors.They can be installed in cabinets,
joined together other parts to form a machinery, or installed inside a machinery.
The FOX inverters can be powered by an industrial AC mains source or by a residential one, but the inverter is not to be
considered a household tool so it cannot be installed nearby other household appliances.
Is responsibility of the end user, when installing the inverter, to be compliant with the EMC directives.
If the indicated prevention measures are implemented the inverter, normally, can be installed withouth problems concerning
EMI.

The related documents are available as per directives.
- HIGH FREQUENCY EMISSIONS
- Voltage disturbance on power supply cables:
The FOX inverter are compliant to EN 55011 (CISPR11) B, 150 kHz to 30 MHz band.
To be compliant it is necessary that :
a) a filter must be connected in series to power supply cables
b) the connections between inverter and motor, and inverter and supply system must be shielded
c) a toroid must be put on each cable
- EM disturbance emitted:
As regards this parameter, the FOX inverter are compliant to EN 55011 (CISPR11) - 1 - B 30 MHz to 1 GHz band.
The following table shows (in bold) the filters and toroids tested with the related inverter type.
The filter not in bold mode, although with satisfactory characteristics, are not yet completely tested .

MODIFICATIONS INTRODUCED WITH SOFTWARE VERSION FOX111


PARAMETER MODIFICATIONS (function deletion):
- Par b-35 [ MODULATION TYPE ] page 22 and 25: the parameter is no more used; the modulation is no more selectable
by the customer.
- Par b-38 [ INPUT FILTERING ] page 22 and 28: the control accept time is fixed at 1 ms with a check on the last three
values read; so the b-38 parameter is no more used to filtering inputs.
ADDITION OF PARAMETER AND / OR FUNCTIONS:
Torque increase :
- Par b-38 [ OVERMODULATION ] ( NEW function) It is used to introduce a modulation that provide an increase of
the output voltage when the output frequency is greater than fbase ; therefore the output torque is increased.
Magnetisation current compensation:
- Par P-87 Function :
- Par P-88
