This chapter includes a description of the contents of the manual. In addition it contains information about the compatibility, safety and intended audience. Compatibility The manual is compatible with RSYC-01 Synchronizing Unit. The drive parameter data refers to ACS800 Standard Control Program. Safety instructions Follow all safety instructions delivered with the drive.
Description of operation and hardware What this chapter contains This chapter describes the operation of a synchronization application, shows a connection diagram and presents the RSYC unit. Intended use of the RSYC unit A drive equipped with the RSYC unit is designed for applications in which a large fixed-speed motor must be started to a weak supply line.

Start-up What this chapter contains This chapter instructs in setting the drive parameters and in checking the system. Parameter settings The table below instructs in parameter settings for a drive with ACS800 Standard Control Program starting a four-pole motor (50 Hz). With these settings, the trim control can affect ±20 rpm to final speed reference (1% of the defined maximum speed limit).
Setting Parameter value Additional information Select analogue input AI1 for actual 40.07 = AI1 BUF OUT signal from RSYC unit, 0 … 10 V. signal for PID controller. Below 5 V = supply line frequency exceeds drive output frequency. 5 V = Supply line frequency and drive output frequency are equal and phases match.
Action Additional information Check unit visually. Parameter settings on page 17. Set drive parameters according to instructions. However, switch Trim function off (parameter 40.14 = OFF) for the time being. Shift control panel to local control mode. Use LOC/REM key. Letter L on first row of display indicates local control.
Actions Information Start drive and monitor panel and RSYC status LED. The following indicates successful Trim control loop: - Drive accelerates to speed reference which was defined above. - Output frequency starts oscillating around 50 Hz. - AI1 is 2.5 V … 7 V. - RSYC LED blinks the first time after 5 …...
Fault tracing What this chapter contains This chapter gives the troubleshooting information. Troubleshooting hints Trouble Cause Remedy Unit operates illogically The board is affected by radiated Ensure all cables that connect to the RSYC unit despite all connections and interference. BUF OUT signal is not are shielded and shields are properly grounded.
Measuring with an oscilloscope Checking the supply line (MAINS) and inverter output (INVRTR) signals from the board may be the only way to see what is actually happening if there is no SYNC signal. There is a potential interference risk as it is possible that the probes pick-up the interference and conduct it to the board circuits.
