Operation
General
Important information about operation of the drive
n See Users manual chapters 6 (Operation) and 7
(CDP control panel)
n When the ACS 5000 is controlled by a PLC or operated from remote
stations, the reference value, the open and close commands for the
Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) and the start and stop commands are
received via digital inputs or a fieldbus adapter module. In these cases
the control interface is adapted to the specific ACS 5000
configuration. These project specific control interfaces are not
described in this chapter.

The chapter outlines the local operation of the converter using the
CDP
control panel and the control switches. Remote control of the
converter via a PLC or remote stations is not described in this
chapter. If the converter is controlled from remote, see the applicable
manuals for information.

CDP Control panel

The CDP control panel is the basic user interface for operating,
controlling and monitoring the converter.
Keypad Modes The CDP control panel provides the following modes:
• Identification mode
• Actual Signal Display mode, selected by the ACT button
• Parameter mode, selected by the PAR button
• Function mode, selected by the FUNC button
• Drive Selection mode, selected by the DRIVE button.

Operation
Grounding switches

§ The three grounding switches are installed in the Line Supply Unit (LSU).
§ The switches can only be actuated if released by the converter

Medium voltage units of the converter include an interlocking system

which operates in conjunction with the grounding switches and the
electrical interlocks from the main circuit breaker.
The interlocking system ensures that power cannot be initialized to
the converter unless all doors have been closed and the grounding
switches have been turned to position "not grounded".
The interlocking system also ensures that the doors of medium
voltage units cannot be opened until the main power source has been
disconnected, the DC link capacitors have been discharged and the
grounding switches have been turned to position "grounded".
Doors of control and cooling cabinets are not integrated into the
interlocking system and can always be opened.

Operation
Checks before starting-up

1. Check that no tools and foreign objects are left inside the converter.
2. All internal circuit breakers of the converter have been closed,
3. The auxiliary power supply of the converter has been switched on.
4. Check that the water cooling system is ready for operation.
5. Check that all doors have been closed and locked and all covers have been
mounted.
6. Check that the grounding switches are in position “not grounded”
7. Check that the main circuit breaker is in operating position.

See Users Manual Appendix D - Electrical Diagrams to identify

the circuit breakers.
See also User’s Manual in Appendix A - Water Cooling Unit.

NOTICE!
The cooling system may start automatically as soon as the auxiliary
voltage has been switched on.

DANGER!
High Voltage!
All bolted covers must be fitted to prevent unintended touching of
energized components.

Operation
Starting the Converter
8. Set the CDP control panel to LOCAL mode by pressing the button.
9. Check that the converter is ready.
No alarm or fault message on the CDP control panel must be present.
10. When a fault message is displayed on the CDP control panel reset the fault,
by pressing the button.
11. When the converter is ready, the control panel of an INU displays ReadyOn:

Operation
Charging the Converter
1. Press the ON button on the door of the COU to charge
the DC link. The ON button flashes during charging:
The status line of the INU control panel changes to
:

2. After charging has been finished, the main circuit breaker

closes automatically, the ON button lights up permanent-
ly and the display of the first INU control control panel
and the additional control panels (if present) changes to

Operation
Starting the motor

1. Enter a setpoint. See User’ Manual, Chapter 7 - CDP Control Panel, for
information on entering a setpoint.

2. Press the button on the INU control panel of the motor

to be started up. At first, the motor is magnetized.

3. After the motor has been magnetized, the motor speed is ramped up to the
setpoint. As soon as the motor starts to turn the display of the INU control

Stopping the motor

1. To stop a motor, press the button on control panel.

The motor stops according to the preset stop function
and the converter stops modulating. Stop modes are
preset in parameters. While the motor stops, the
status line of the display shows Stopping:

2. When the converter has stopped modulating, the CDP

control panel displays Ready to Start:
