1.0 Introduction

These operating instructions apply only in conjunction with the operating

instructions for the components used, in particular Siemens operating
instructions.
All obligations of R. STAHL ensue from the relevant purchasing agreement which also
covers the complete and exclusively applicable warranty conditions.

2.0 Safety information

The definitions and warnings listed in the Siemens operating instructions must
be observed.

3.0 Scope of supply

3.1 Hoisting
Simovert Master Drives
VC/UC Vector Control

The converter is fully parametrised with STAHL-specific values. As standard, the max.
motor frequency equals mains frequency, i.e. 50 or 60 Hz.

3.1.1 Speed control

An incremental tacho generator (1024 increments/revolution) is permanently mounted
on the motor shaft together with forced ventilation for the hoist motor.

3.2 Travel
Masterdrive VC compact plus converter

The converter is parametrised according to the information given in the order, however
it may be useful or necessary to optimise it on site (e.g. acceleration/deceleration time).
A table comprising the current parameters is included in the product documentation.
As standard, the max. motor frequency equals double the mains frequency, i.e. 100 or
120 Hz.

4.0 Control

A control is assigned to the hoist, mounted either on the hoist or on a higher-level

structure, e.g. a crane. The control ensures safe operation of the hoist. Detailed
information can be taken from this circuit diagram.

The control is situated in the panel box A16. The converters are situated in panel box
A20 (hoist or hoist/cross travel) or A40 (cross travel). The brake resistance is either
mounted on the hoist (R20) or bolted directly onto the panel box. The converter
functions are subject to the SLE tripping device (see STAHL operating instructions for
SLE). All control signals are routed via the SLE tripping device. The overload cut-off is
also performed by the SLE.

BA_FU_HUB_E_13012004.DOC Page 2/9

4.1 Connection

On a hoist with frequency converter, the converters are generally fully wired with the
control. If the converters are supplied loose with the hoist, the following points must be
observed.

4.2 Main current

The main current connection from the control, the hoist motor and the brake resistance
are connected via the connection terminals (Fig. 4.0). Check that the mains is correctly
connected to the converter (hoist), tighten the terminals if necessary.
The control signals are connected at the plug (Fig. 6.0). The standard control
connections are in the front section of the converter (Fig. 5.0).

N.B.:
In accordance with EN 50173 / ISO/IEC 11801, only shielded cables and EMC-
compatible glands may be used for the main current connection between frequency
converter and motor.

4.3 Control cables

The control cables must be wired in accordance with the technical version, basically two
types of control can be distinguished.

Types of control:

1. Motor potentiometer (hoist / travel):

The speed can be controlled by a 2-step button.
First step: minimum speed or maintain speed.
Second step: increase speed.
Release first step: reduce speed.

2. Analog setpoint generator (on request):

The hoisting speed can be steplessly regulated between a minimum speed and the
maximum speed, or the travel speed controlled.

3. Fixed setpoints

The hoist motion is always speed regulated. The speed generator must be connected.

Terminal assignment can be seen from the relevant circuit diagram.

5.0 Parameter assignment

The parameters are set in the STAHL factory in accordance with the specific order.

Alteration is possible either directly on the digital operating panel (PMU) of the
converter/inverter, by the separate OP1S operating panel with 1:1 RS 485 connection
cable, or by PC with a RS232 interface cable. This cable must be specifically prepared
for parametrisation (see Siemens operating instructions, page 8-6).

BA_FU_HUB_E_13012004.DOC Page 4/9

5.1 Digital operating panel:

 
^ O 3 ^
P V I P V

Compact Plus Compact

The "P“ button is used to shift from the RUN mode (code: o, see above) to the parameter menu of the
parametrisation mode.

4 different symbols (r, n, P, U) are used as codes (1st position)

r only reading possible
n only reading possible (state interrogation)
P input possible
U input possible.
The parameters are arranged in such a way that the parameters with r and P codes come first and those
with U and n codes follow:
r001, ..... r110, P113, ...... P972, r980, r992, U001, U002, .... U031, n032 .... U963, n967

Change to a different parameter:

^: ascending
V: descending

As a rule, the parameters each include several sub-parameters (Index 1, Index 2, ...) with code i (e.g.:
i001, i002, ...) which can be reached by pressing the P button.

The value of the parameter/sub-parameter is displayed by pressing P again. Values are shown without
code.

The P button is used for moving from the parameter menu to the sub-parameter (index.) – if any – from
there to the value and returning by the same route.

Buttons "^" or "V" are used:

- to move up or down one parameter
- to move up or down one sub-parameter (index)
- to increase or decrease the value

Example (change accelaration/deceleration time):

• Use "P" button to shift to parameter menu
• Use buttons "^" or "V" to search for parameter '"P381".
• When "P381" appears in the display,
change to sub-parameter (index 001) using "P" button
• Call up value using "P" button and set value using buttons "^" or "V".
• Pressing "P" button stores the value selected and the display changes to the sub-parameter ("001")
• Pressing "P" button again changes the display to "381".

8.0 Information on converter systems with infeed/recovery units

WARNING
The device must not be used with a residual current operated circuit-breaker (DIN VDE 0160).

The device may only be energised with connected SIMOVERT Master Drives. Operation with no link
capacity connected is not permitted!

Interchanging or short-circuiting the link terminals will destroy the SIMOVERT Master Drives converter!

To reduce reaction on system, limit harmonic vibrations and reduce current ripples, the total inductivity of
the mains with infeed and recovery connection (including commutation inductor and autotransformer
impedance if fitted) must provide a total relative short-circuit voltage uk of between 4% and 10%.

After disconnection, fault signals, removal of operation enabling or de-energisation of the mains supply
connection, the fan will continue to run for a maximum of 4 minutes or until a fixed heat sink temperature
threshhold is reached (condition: supply to fan). Due to the separate supply to the fan, terminal X19 may
be energised in spite of de-energisation of power connections.

Actions to comply with radio interference suppression regulations

The following points must be observed in order to comply with radio interference suppression regulations:
Earthing
Radio intereference occurs due to the method of functioning of the current rectifiers. These
should be led back to source with the lowest impedance possible (cross-section of earth
connection  cross-section of mains connection). When installing infeed unit and optional radio
interference suppression filters, use the most effective earthing method possible (e.g. mounting
plate, earthing cable, earthing bar.) Interconnect all conductive housings over a large area.
For interference suppression, not only the cross-section (observe safety regulations in case of
fault), but above all the contact surface is important, as high-frequency interference currents do
not flow through the whole cross-section, but chiefly on the external surface of a lead.
Shielding
In order to reduce faults and comply with the degree of radio interference suppression,
- use shielded cables between converter output and motor and
- use shielded control cables.
The shield must be connected to earth potential on both sides.
Filters
The interference suppression filters must be connected immediately in front of the infeed unit.
The housings must be interconnected conductively.

Mains disconnection
The infeed/recovery unit is a line-commutated converter. The main contactor which switches the
infeed/recovery unit to the mains must always be activated by the control after a time delay via the safety
combination. The device control ensures correct shutdown sequence, particularly in recovery operation,
as the STOP signal is given to the inverter without a time delay and the energy to the drive is limited
before it is disconnected from the mains.
Direct externally controlled disconnection of the main contactor (e.g. in the case of system fault signals or
emergency shut-downs) during operation of the infeed/recovery unit may lead to uncontrolled
overcurrents (due to „conduction-through“). This may cause damage to the device or the system.
All external STOP commands must be linked to the signal chain of the safety combination – main
contactor.
