3. Design Specifications
3.1.1 Keypad
Each Optidrive has a keypad fitted as standard, allowing drive operation and
set up without any additional equipment.
The Start/Stop buttons on the keypad are disabled when the parameters have
their factory default settings. To enable keypad operation, set P-12 to 1 or 2
(see parameter section).
The Navigate key alone is used to gain access to the parameter edit menu.
Pressing and holding this key allows the user to toggle between the parameter
edit menu and the real time display (where the drive operating status / running
speed is displayed). This key is also used to toggle between the operating
speed and operating current during drive operation.
3.1.2 Display
3.1.3 Optiwand
The Optiwand also has an edit mode which allows the user to change any
parameter value and then store the change in the Optiwand. This can be done
without an Optidrive being present.
The Windows based applications program OptiStore provides the user with a
means of storing complete parameter sets on a PC. These are stored as text
files and can therefore be saved under any Windows compatible filename and
printed out on any standard Windows printer.
Once stored in file format, parameter sets can be attached to E-mail to be sent
to any E-mail destination worldwide. This facilitates a very powerful method for
customer and application support.
The full range of products have power input at the top of the unit and motor
connection at the bottom. In addition, sizes 2, 3, 4 and 5 have connection for
an external braking resistor next to the motor connections.
Three digital inputs are available. All of these are programmable in terms of
functionality. This functionality is defined by P-19 (see parameter descriptions).
All inputs are galvanically isolated from the drive power stage to 2.5kV. The
inputs are both +ve and -ve logic activated (auto-detected by the Optidrive).
Any digital input will be activated by an input voltage of <8V (-ve logic) or a
voltage of >21V (positive logic). All voltages are referenced to the common 0V
terminals (terminals 1, 7or 9).
A bipolar 12-bit (4000 step) fully isolated analog input is available. The level of
isolation is 2.5kV from the power stage. This input is used as the speed
reference input, and can be configured as a voltage or current input. The max
response delay of this input is < 8ms, ie within 8ms the drive will respond
completely to any change on the analog input. The input is over-voltage
protected up to 50V.

When used in bipolar voltage mode (-10V … 10V), the input symmetry is better
than 0.2%.
The analog input format is set using P-16 (see parameter descriptions).
Available settings are 0..10V, 4..20mA, 0..20mA or 20..4mA , 10..0V or
-10..10V.
In motor speed mode, the output voltage is scaled linearly between 0 and 10V,
representing 0 to maximum speed (as set in P-01)
In motor current mode, the output voltage is scaled linearly between 0 and
10V, where 10V represents 2x rated current, as set in P-08.
The analog output can source up to 20mA and is short circuit / over-voltage
protected.

Normal (real-time) display mode (non parameter edit mode) allows the key
variables listed below to be displayed in real time.
The user can scroll between these variables by pressing and releasing the
<Navigate> key within 1s. The scrolling mechanism rolls over from Load back
to speed.
To enter parameter access mode, press the < Navigate > button for approx.
1s. The display changes from indicating operational speed to “P-XX”, where
XX represents the parameter last accessed during the previous commissioning
session. The value of XX can be incremented or decremented using the <up> /
<down> keys. The parameter scrolling mechanism rolls over from the max to
min parameter number and vice versa.
Pressing and releasing the <Navigate> key once more will then display the
current value of the selected parameter. This can then be edited within the
limits of that parameter, unless parameter write access has been disabled (P-
38).
Pressing the <Navigate> key once more toggles back to display the parameter
number in case further editing is required. If the <Navigate> key is held for
approx. 1 second, the display reverts to displaying the real-time values
(speed/freq or current/load). The display will also revert to displaying the
selected real-time value if no buttons are pressed for >20s if P-01 … P-40 are
being accessed, and >60s if P-00 (watch windows) is being accessed.

In its factory default state, the Optidrive has slip compensation disabled, since the
rated speed of the motor will not be known to the drive. In this case, P-10 = 0 and
watch window 5 above will be zero in all cases.
Once the motor rated speed in rpm has been entered into P-10, slip compensation is
automatically activated and the instantaneous value of slip will be displayed in watch
window 5. Slip compensation automatically attempts to maintain a constant rotor
speed under varying load conditions by modifying the applied stator frequency as a
function of load current.
Once P-10 has been entered, the real-time display values will also include speed in
rpm in addition to applied motor frequency in Hz and motor current in A.

This parameter sets the upper limiting boundary defining the maximum
frequency (speed) that can be applied to the motor in any mode of operation.
This parameter sets the lower limiting boundary defining the minimum
frequency (speed) that can be applied to the motor in any mode of operation.
The speed will only drop below this level after the drive enable signal has been
removed, when the drive will ramp the output frequency to zero.
This parameter defines the time taken in seconds for the output frequency
(speed) to increase from zero to the rated frequency (speed), as defined in
parameter P-09.
Note that the ramp rate is unaffected by changing either the maximum or
minimum speed limits (P-01, P-02) since the ramp time is related to P-09 and
not P-01 / P-02.
When set to the minimum ramp time of 0s, the output will change to the
requested value within 8ms of the action being requested.

This parameter defines the time taken in seconds for the output frequency
(speed) to decrease from the rated frequency (value in P-09) to zero.
Note that the ramp rate in unaffected by changing either the maximum or
minimum speed limits (P-01, P-02) since the ramp time is related to P-09 and
not P-01 / P-02.
When set to the minimum ramp time of 0s, the output will change to the
requested value within 8ms of the action being requested.
This parameter defines the way in which the motor comes to standstill when
the drive enable signal is removed.
When set to zero (factory default), the drive speed is ramped down to zero
according to the setting of P-04 whenever the drive enable signal is removed.
The drive will only be disabled when the Optidrive output frequency reaches
zero. (Note that DC injection braking can be used to hold zero speed if
required – see parameters P-31 and P-32).
In the event of the mains supply being lost, the Optidrive will automatically
attempt to keep itself operating by braking (regenerating) a rotating motor. The
rate of deceleration is set also by P-04, unless P-07 has been set to a non-
zero value. In this case, the deceleration ramp rate set in P-07 is used.
In general, best performance is achieved when P-07 is somewhat longer than
the normal braking time and is also improved when slip compensation is
activated (whenever the motor rated speed is entered into P-10).
When P-05 is set to 2, the motor will be ramped down to zero similarly to the
case above where P-05 = 0 whenever the drive enable signal is removed.
When the mains supply is removed, however, the drive will ramp the output
down to zero at the rate defined in P-04 if P-07 = 0, otherwise at the rate
defined in P-07. This allows the motor to be stopped rapidly (a form of
Emergency Stop), independently of the main deceleration ramp time, in the
event of the mains supply being lost.
Maximum value : 2
Minimum value : 0
Default value : 0

This parameter defines the rate at which the voltage is applied to the motor as
the output frequency increases. For many applications the required
characteristic is linear (constant torque selected when P-06 = 0), but for fan
and some pump applications, a significant energy saving can be achieved at
lower speeds by selecting the variable torque setting (P-06 = 1).
Maximum value : 1
Minimum value : 0
Default value : 0
The rated current of the motor to be connected to the Optidrive (as stamped on
the motor rating plate) should be entered into this parameter. This allow the
Optidrive to match its internal motor thermal protection (I x t protection) to the
motor itself. This ensures that the drive will trip on motor overload (I.t-trP)
before any thermal damage results in the motor.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
The rated frequency of the motor to be connected to the Optidrive (as stamped
on the motor rating plate) should be entered into this parameter. This defines
the frequency at which maximum (rated) output voltage is applied to the motor.
Above this frequency, the voltage is held constant at this maximum value. At
frequencies below the value entered in P-09, the output voltage varies in
accordance with the setting of P-06 (V/F characteristic).
Note that the V/F curve can also be modified using parameters P-26 and P-29,
allowing the user to adapt the V/F curve to suit non-standard motors.
The rated speed of the motor (in rpm) to be connected to the Optidrive (as
stamped on the motor rating plate) should be entered into this parameter if it is
required that the Optidrive displays its speed in rpm. When once a value (non-
zero) has been entered into this parameter, the operating speed of the motor in
rpm will be available on the display. The speed related parameters (ie P-01,
P-02, P-20…P-23, P-27, P-28) will also be displayed in rpm when once an rpm
value has been entered into P-10.
It is possible also to adjust the level of slip compensation applied using the slip
compensation adjustment factor (P-24).
If the user wishes to have speed displayed in rpm without any slip
compensation be applied, the synchronous speed of the motor should be
entered into P-10. This would be for example 3000rpm (2-pole), 1500rpm (4-
pole), or 1000rpm (6-pole) for a 50Hz motor.
Maximum value : 60 x value of P-09 (eg 3000 rpm when P-09 = 50Hz)
Minimum value : 12 x value of P-09 (eg 600 rpm when P-09 = 50Hz)
Default value : 0

________________________________________________________________________________________________
The voltage boost parameter sets the level of voltage that is applied to the
motor at zero output frequency (DC). This is used to ensure that the motor has
sufficient starting torque to accelerate cleanly away from zero.
The effect of the voltage boost decreases linearly from the specified value at
0Hz to zero at half rated frequency (25Hz with a 50Hz motor). This approach
gives a smoother transition from maximum to zero boost as output frequency
increases.
This parameter allows the user to define whether the Optidrive should be
controlled from the User terminal connector (factory default setting) or from the
push-buttons on the front of the keypad.
When P-12 = 0, terminal control mode is selected. In this case, the drive speed
will be controlled either using switches and / or a potentiometer. The function
of the digital inputs can be defined using P-19.
When P-12 = 1, keypad mode is selected. In this case, the speed of the motor
is controlled using the keys on the Optidrive keypad. The <START> and
<STOP> buttons will enable and disable the Optidrive output respectively.
When enabled, the speed of the Optidrive can be ramped up and down using
the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons. If remote keypad operation is required,
<START>, <STOP>, <UP> and <DOWN> keys can be mounted on the front of
a panel and connected electrically to the digital inputs. See Application Note
AN21 for further details. If the Optidrive is stopped whilst running at a particular
speed, it will return to that same speed when re-enabled (pushing the
<START> button.
Note that the Optidrive must have the hardware enable signal applied (digital
input 1 closed) before keypad operation is possible.
When P-12 = 1, only forward (positive) speeds are possible and a reversal in
direction cannot occur.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
When P-12 = 2, the same functionality as above is achieved except for the fact
that reverse operation is possible. In this case, the <START> button doubles
up as a reverse “toggle” button. Each press of the <START> button will cause
a reversal in direction. After having been stopped, the Optidrive will always
start in a positive speed direction. This ensures that there is no ambiguity as to
which direction the motor will start in.
Note that when the Optidrive is to be controlled remotely from the Optiwand (or
via the optical link from some other controller), the Optidrive must be in keypad
mode. The keypad on the Optiwand then operates exactly like the keypad on
the Optidrive.
This parameter holds a record of the most recent four trips and / or events that
have occurred. Each trip will be displayed in abbreviated text, with the most
recent trip being displayed first (on entering into the value of P-13).
Whenever a new trip occurs, this is entered at the top of the list and the other
trips move down. The oldest trip will then be removed from the trip log.
Note that if the most recent trip in the trip log is an “Under-voltage” trip, further
Under-voltage trips will not be entered into the trip log. This is ensure that the
trip log does not fill up with Under-voltage trips which naturally occur every
time the Optidrive is turned off.
This parameter allows the user to gain access to the extended parameter set
(P-15 to P-40). Access is allowed when the value entered into P-14 is equal to
the value held in P-37. In its factory default state, P-14 must be set to “101” in
order to gain access to the extended menu.

Notes :
• To restore factory default parameters, hold <up>, <down> and <stop> keys
simultaneously for >1s. This will also reset the access code, but will not affect the
Hours run meter. The hours run meter cannot be reset or changed.
• Pressing the <up> and <down> keys simultaneously in parameter edit mode
resets the selected parameter number / value to zero (or the minimum value as
defined by the limits for that parameter).

This parameter allows the user to scale the applied motor voltage such that the
value set in P-15 is reached when the output frequency reaches rated
frequency (as set in P-09). It is therefore possible to run a 220V motor correctly
when the Optidrive has a 400V supply.
When this parameter is set to zero, the output voltage will vary with input
voltage and during deceleration. The significant increase in motor voltage
during deceleration will increase motor current and motor losses, which may
mean that less (or no) braking resistors are needed.
This parameter allows the user to configure the analog input to suit the format
of the signal connected to the analog input. The following foramts are
supported :
When configured for one of the voltage input formats, the analog input accepts
bipolar input voltages in the range -10V..10V. When set to 0..10V or 10..0V, all
negative voltages will give zero speed. When set to -10..10V, all negative
voltages will result in the drive running with negtive speeds, where the speed is
proprtional to the magnitude of the input voltage.
All current input formats are unipolar. When 4..20mA or 20..4mA is selected,
the Optidrive will automatically trip when the input current falls below 2mA.
This is especially important for the inverse (20..4mA) setting where the drive
would otherwise give maximum output speed if the current input was to be
interrupted.
The analog input format can be switched using digital input 3 when P-19 = 0. A
voltage input format will be selected when the input is open, otherwise a
current input format is selected. This allows switching between a local (voltage)
signal and a remote (current) signal.

This parameter allows the user to select the drive output switching frequency
to cater for different application requirements.
All 400V products are shipped with the effective output switching frequency set
to 8kHz. This minimises the thermal losses in the Optidrive which therefore
runs cooler. When operating at a particular switching frequency, there will be
an associated acoustic noise produced by the motor at that particular switching
frequency. In most industrial applications (400V supplies), this is of little
consequence as backgroung noise is much greater.
However, domestic (220V) applications tend to be in quieter environments
where acoustic noise is important. For this reason, all 220V Optidrives are set
to 16kHz in the factory default state.
This parameter allows the user to select under what operating conditions the
output user relay contacts are closed. The following settings are available :
The functionality of the digital inputs within the Optidrive is user programmable,
allowing the user to select the functions required for the application.
The following table defines the functions of the digital inputs depending of the
value of parameter P-19 (Digital input function select).

Notes :
If P-19 = 0 and digital input 3 = 0, the analog input will be in volts (0-10V)
irrespective of the setting in P-16. If digital input 3 = 1, the current input format
will be 4-20mA unless P-16 is set to either 0-20mA or 20..4mA. This allows the
input format to be switched between voltage (local) and current (remote)
formats. The dual analog input option card provides a facility for connecting the
second analog input.
If P-19 <> 0, the analog input format will be defined by the setting in P-16 :
(0-10V / 4-20mA / 0-20mA / 20-4mA / 10..0V / -10V..10V).

In this case, a break in the wire will always result in the drive being disabled
and the motor coming to zero.
Default setting : 0
When the rated speed of the motor connected to the Optidrive is entered into
P-10, slip compensation is automatically activated. This means that the
Optidrive will attempt to maintain constant shaft speed independent of the
applied mechanical load. This calculation assumes particular motor
characteristics which may vary from motor to motor. This parameter allows the
user to trim the level of slip compensation applied. When set to the factory
default value (100%), there is no change to the slip compensation applied.
The function of the analog output can be controlled using this parameter. The
following options are available :
Digital output modem can be used in conjunction with the optional 2nd relay
output module. This 2nd relay is driven by the digital output and effectively adds
an independent relay output to that within the Optidrive (controlled from P-18).
Firstly, the above characteristic will be modified by the setting of P-11 (voltage
boost level). Parameters P-26 and P-29 then give an extra level of adaptation,
allowing the user to further modify the V/F characteristic should this be
required.
Parameter P-29 can be set to any frequency between 0 and the base
frequency (P-09) and represents the frequency at which the percentage
adjustment level set in P-26 is applied.
This is best visualised by considering a rubber band stretched along a line
representing the Voltage/Frequency characteristic. The effect on the V/F
characteristic of changing P-26 / P-29 is the same as getting hold of the rubber
band at the frequency specified in P-29 and moving it up or down to represent
the voltage adjustment level specified in P-26. In this way, there is a smooth
change in voltage as frequency increases, thereby avoiding voltage
discontinuities.
Note that the voltage at any particular frequency can be increased or
decreased to suit the needs of the application.
P-26 : P-29 :
Maximum value : 250% Maximum value : P-09
Minimum value : 20% Minimum value : 0 Hz
Default value : 100% Default value : 0 Hz
Parameter P-27 specifies the centre point of the skip frequency band and P-28
the width of that band. Consider the following example :
This will give a skip frequency band between 25Hz and 35Hz, centred on
30Hz. If the analog speed reference then requests a speed within these limits,

________________________________________________________________________________________________
the speed will remain at the nearest limit. When the output frequency ramps
between these two limits, it will do so at the ramp rates specified in P-03 and
P-04.
In the event of the output / motor running at negative speeds, the skip
frequency band will have exactly the same effect as in the positive direction.
P-27 : P-28 :
Maximum value : P-01 Maximum value : P-01
Minimum value : 0 Minimum value : 0

This parameter allows the user to define the start-up mode of the Optidrive and
operates in conjunction with the hardware enable signal applied between
terminals 1 and 2.
Possible settings are : Edge-r (Edge run – requires the run signal to
be applied after a trip or power-down
to start)
Auto-0 (Auto-run – enables whenever a run
signal is present (assuming no trip)
Auto-1 (As Auto-0, except for the fact that the
Æ Optidrive will attempt to auto restart
Auto-4 after a trip. The number of re-start
Attempts is given by the number after
the “Auto-“. The re-start counter is
reset after a power down.
In the factory default setting (Auto-run), the Optidrive will start and run
whenever terminals 1 and 2 are linked, provided there is no trip condition.
“Edge-r” may be used where the drive should not start automatically on power
up should the run switch be closed. In this case, the run switch must be
opened and then re-closed before the drive will start. The same rule applies
after clearing / re-setting a trip condition.
If the application requires that the drive attempts to re-start after a trip
condition, parameter P-30 can be set to Auto-1 … Auto-4, in which case the
drive will attempt to clear the trip and re-start between 1 and 4 times after a
trip. After this number of re-starts have been attempted, the drive will remain in
a tripped state. Typically, an operator would investigate the cause of the trips
at this stage.
In each of these cases, a delay of 20s will elapse after a trip before the
Optidrive attempts a re-start.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
DC injection braking is typically applied just before the output of the Optidrive
is disabled (when a stop command has been issued) to ensure that the motor
has come to standstill. This is often used in conjunction with a mechanical
brake which can be activated using the on-board relay (configured using P-18).
The relay contacts will only open when the Optidrive disables its output (P-18 =
0) ie after DC injection braking has been applied.
Note that DC injection braking is only applied after a stop signal has been
issued (drive enable removed) and the output has ramped to zero. If coast to
stop has been selected (P-05 = 1), DC injection braking will not be applied.
In some applications (typically fans and pumps) a motor / load may freewheel
when not being driven by the Optidrive (due to air / fluid flow). In these cases, it
is beneficial to brake the motor to standstill before attempting to accelerate it
up to the operational speed. This prevents possible over-current trips that may
otherwise occur. In such cases, the motor can be also braked to zero using
DC injection braking. In this case, it must be applied after an enable signal has
been applied prior to the output ramping up from zero.
This parameter is used to scale either the analog speed reference or the digital
speed reference, depending on whether the Optidrive is in terminal or keypad
mode.
When the Optidrive is in terminal mode (P-12 = 0 or 3), this parameter is used
to scale the analog input so that a 0...10V signal on the input controls the
output speed linearly between the minimum (P-02) and maximum (P-01) speed
limits. The adjustment of P-35 to match the operating range P-02 to P-01 is
done automatically by the Optidrive whenever P-01 or P-02 is changed.
When the Optidrive is in keypad mode (P-12 = 1 or 2), P-35 will typically have
a value of 100%, irrespective of the settings of P-01 and P-02. If the Optidrive
is being controlled from its own keypad, or via keys connected to the input
terminal strip (remote push-button control), there will normally be no need to
change P-35.
In Master / Slave mode, all slave drives must be in keypad mode (ie P-12 = 1
or 2). If the relative speeds of the Master and various slave drives need to be
set independently to suit the application (speed scaling), this can be done by
setting P-35 to the required value in each of the slave drives. Any slave drive
can be set to run at between 20% and 500% of the Master drive.
Note that the acceleration ramp times should be scaled by the same factor as
the Master / Slave speed. For example, if a slave drive runs to 2x the speed of
the Master drive, its accel / decel ramp times should be set to 0.5x those of the
Master. This ensures accurate ramp rate following in addition to end speed
following.
connected to the same optical link), it is necessary for each drive to have its
own unique identifier ie drive address.
The drive address can be set to any value between 1 and 63, allowing upto 63
discrete drives to be connected on the same optical network. When any
Optidrive receives a valid telegram (message) via the optical interface, it will
only respond to the command if that telegram contains its own drive address.
In this way, any one drive from the entire group of 63 can be picked out which
will then respond in the requested manner.
Maximum value : 63
Minimum value : 0
Default setting : 1
Parameter P-37 can be used to allow the user to specify their own extended
menu access code. Access to the extended menu (P-15 to P-40) is only
permitted when the value entered into P-14 equals that stored in P-37. In this
way, the user may change to code from the standard value of “101” to any
desired value. This feature is often used in conjunction with P-38 (parameter
write access)
This parameter allows the user to specify what type of access to parameters is
to be permitted and can as such be used to lock all parameter write (change)
operations. The following settings are available :
P-38 = 0 All parameters can be accessed and changed. All changes will
be saved in permanent memory and will apply even after a power
down. The parameter save-to-memory process is automatic.
P-38 = 1 All parameters can be accessed and changed. All changes will
saved in temporary memory and will be functional until the
Optidrive is powered down. After the next power up, the
parameter settings will be extracted from permanent memory
such that all changes made with P-38 = 1 will be lost. This setting
may be used to test experimental settings without risk of losing a
known set of parameter settings.

P-38 = 2 All parameters can be accessed for read purposes but changes
are not permitted. This ensures that a set of working parameters
are not changed by unauthorised users. If P-38 has been set to
2, the user can then specify an extended access code in P-37.
Only with this code can access to the extended menu be
obtained and P-38 changed to 1 or 2.
Maximum value : 1

This is a read only parameter indicating the number of hours that the Optidrive
has been running. It is not re-settable and therefore holds useful information on
the lifetime of the Optidrive and / or the equipment that it is driving.
This read only parameter allows the user to determine the Optidrive voltage
and power rating in addition to the software version.
The software version (eg 1.05) will be displayed if the user presses the <UP>
key on the Optidrive keypad.

The following list indicates which mnemonics will be displayed under certain
conditions, and their meaning.
Mnemonic Description
StoP Drive power stage disabled. This message will be displayed when drive is
stopped and no are faults present. The drive is ready for normal operation.
P-deF Default parameters loaded. This message will be displayed when the user
invokes the command to load the factory default parameters.
O-I Over-current on drive output. If this occurs during normal operation, it may
indicate an excessive acceleration rate or that the kW rating of the motor is
greater than that of the drive.
O-Uolt Over-voltage on DC bus. This may occur if the deceleration rate is too rapid.
Normally, this can be resolved by fitting an external braking resistor(s) to the
Optidrive power terminals. Ensure that P-34 is set to 1 or 2 to enable the
Optidrive internal braking circuit.
U-Uolt Under voltage on DC bus. This indicates that the mains supply voltage is
below the minimum limit. This message occurs naturally every time the
supply to the drive is switched off.
OL-br Brak resistor thermal overload. When P-34 = 1, the Optidrive monitors the
power dissipation in the braking resistor(s) connected to the Optidrive. If the
permitted internal limit is exceeded, the Optidrive will trip with this fault
message. The deceleration ramp time must either be reduced or more
braking resistors must be added. When multiple brake resistors are used, the
minimum braking resistor ohmic value must be observed.
OI-b Brake resistor short circuit. This usually indicates a low resistance or short
circuit across the braking resistor.
I.t-trP Motor thermal overload. When the motor current level exceeds 100% of the
motor current value entered into P-08, the Optidrive will monitor the level and
duration of the overload. Depending on the overload level, the Optidrive will
trip with this message after a certain time period. Typically, the Optidrive will
deliver 150% of the current in P-08 for 1 minute.
th-Flt Faulty thermistor on heatsink. This is not a user serviceable part. The user
must refer to their authorised Optidrive distributor to rectify this fault.
EE-F EEPROM checksum failure. Parameters not saved, defaults reloaded. This is
not a user serviceable part. The user must refer to their authorised Optidrive
distributor to rectify this fault.
PS-Flt Internal power stage fault, indicating an over-current or a thermal overload
within the power switching module. If this fault occurs as soon as the
Optidrive is enabled, it may indicate a failed power module. In this case, The
user must refer to their authorised Optidrive distributor to rectify this fault.

O-t Heatsink over temperature. This generally indicates that the Optidrive is
operating at too high a switching frequency for the operating load and / or
environmental temperature. Reduce the switching frequency or improve
airflow / cooling to overcome this problem.
E-trP External trip. This trip message occurs when one of the digital inputs has
been configured (using P-19) to support an external trip. Depending on the
setting of P-19, this may be Digital input 2 or 3. Both of these inputs are
suitable for thermistor connection (type PT100). When this input is shorted to
0V (or < 2k), no trip will occur. When the resistance increases beyond 5k , the
Optidrive will trip on E-trP.
SC-trP Serial communications trip. Communication between the Master and Slave
Optidrives in Master / Slave mode has been interrupted. Ensure that the
OptiLink is intact.
Ain-F The voltage present on the analog input has increased beyond 15V. The
voltage on the analog input should remain in the range –10V…+10V for
correct operation.
Iin-F The current level on the analog input has fallen below 2mA when the input is
configured for 4..20mA operation. The current should remain within the
expected range.
Overcurrent :
If the drive is required to accelerate / decelerate at a rate that would require >150%,
the increased current level will be limited to 175% drive current by hardware. This
may result in the motor accel / decel rate not being achieved.
When the drive is delivering >100% motor current, an I.t integral will result in the drive
tripping, should the permitted time limit be exceeded. This will occur after 1 minute at
150%.

6. User options
The easy-to-use, yet powerful features of the Optidrive are enhanced by a range of
options. A further powerful feature of these options is that they can be retrofitted to
the Optidrive without the user having to re-design the mechanical layout of his
application.
All Optidrives (excluding size #1) are fitted with a power dump module as
standard. In conjunction with an external braking resistor(s), the Optidrive can
be configured to decelerate rapidly, where the inertial energy of the load is
dumped as heat in the braking resistor. In so doing, the otherwise inevitable
over-voltage trip is eliminated.
To protect against thermal overload, the Optidrive can be set to monitor the
power dissipation within the brake resistor (applies to the standard Invertek
“Optibrake” resistors only). If the thermal limit of the resistor is exceeded, the
Optidrive will trip before damage to the resistor results. This feature is
activated when P-34 = 1.
This monitor can be disabled (P-34 = 2), allowing braking resistors with greater
power to used.
Each of the resistors is fitted with an internal fusible link. This eliminates the
risk of massive overheating of the resistor should any other component fail.
One standard braking resistor (250W) has been designed for use with sizes #2
and #3 Optidrives. Each Optidrive can accommodate two braking resistors -
one on either side of the Optidrive heatsink.
A larger (500W) resistor is available for Optidrives sizes #4 and #5. These
have the same design features as the above resistor.

3. PI controller module
The PI controller input will support feedback transducers with either a 0…10V
(3-wire) format or a 4…20mA (2-wire) format.
The feedback transducer can also draw its supply from the PI controller card,
provided that it will function correctly on a 10V supply.
• Temperature control
• Pressure control
• Flow rate control
• Closed loop speed control
The PI controller is designed primarily for systems that have a response time in
the range 0.1s to 10s – a typical range for many applications.
Both the Proportional and Integral gains can be set. The P-Gain is set using a
5-turn potentiometer. The integral gain can be changed to 0.1s, 1s or 10s by
setting up the on-board switches. These settings are detailed in the User
Guide (see next page)
In a similar fashion, the format of both the reference input and feedback inputs
can be set using the on-board switches.

Application Note AN 01
• General
For the majority of industrial applications, the Optidrive will spin a motor without any
parameter adjustments being made to the Optidrive. In general, the “nameplate data” taken
from the rating plate of the motor should be entered into the Optidrive to ensure that the
Optidrive is matched to the motor, thereby avoiding the risk of damage to the motor occurring.
The motor rated current in Amps should be entered into this parameter. Most
industrial motors have a Star / Delta rating to allow operation at different voltages.
Care should be taken to ensure that the current rating taken from the ratings plate
corresponds to the motor voltage rating (this depends on the way in which the motor
is connected (Star or Delta).
Typically, this will be displayed as 220V / 400V 3.3A / 1.9A
When this parameter has been set, the Optidrive will monitor the current and be able
to determine whether or not the motor is in overload. Should the motor run in an
overload condition for long periods of time (minutes), the Optidrive will trip. This
provides one level of protection to prevent the motor from overheating.
The factory default value for this parameter is the rated current of the Optidrive.
The motor rated frequency in Hertz should be entered into this parameter. In general,
this value will be 50Hz so that no change is required to the factory default setting.
This parameter is changed for use with high-speed motors or with 60Hz motors.
This parameter only needs to be set if the user requires the speed to be displayed in
RPM, or if the application requires that changes in load on the motor do not cause a
significant change in the motor output speed.
When the rated speed has been set, all speed-related parameters (eg maximum
speed, minimum speed etc) will be in RPM.
Also, the Optidrive display will show the running speed in RPM in addition to the
speed in Hertz and current in Amps during normal operation.
Setting P-10 also activates the load (slip) compensation. This is a type of speed
control where the Optidrive monitors the level of the load on the motor and
automatically adjusts the frequency supplied to the motor to try to maintain constant
rotor speed.

Application Note AN 21
• General
Some applications, especially those where an Optidrive is build into an enclosure, require the
speed of the motor to be controlled using push-buttons mounted on the front of the enclosure.
This application note describes how this can be implemented very simply.
Note : Applies only to software version 1.05 and any later versions.

• Notes :
7. The Optidrive must be set to keypad mode (P-12 = 1 or 2) to support this mode of
operation. If unidirectional operation is required, set P-12 = 1.
8. If speed reversal is required set P-12 = 2. The <START> button then acts as a reverse
button. Pressing this button causes the drive to run at the same speed in the opposite
direction.
9. If <STOP> is pressed, the drive will ramp down to zero and stop. Pressing <START>
once more causes the drive to ramp back up to the operational speed prior to the
<STOP> button being pressed.
11. For safety critical applications, place an additional enable switch between pin 1 (0V) of the
terminal strip and the push-buttons. When this switch is open, the push-buttons are
inoperative.

Application Note AN 23
• General
DC injection braking on the Optidrive can be used to ensure that a spinning motor reaches
true zero speed before the Optidrive is disabled, or to ensure that a spinning motor is brought
to standstill prior to the output frequency of the Optidrive being increased from zero. In the
latter case, an over-current condition can be avoided.
• Notes :
16. DC injection braking is activated by entering a non-zero value into P-32. This specifies the
time for which DC-injection braking is applied after a ramp-to-stop (disable) signal has
been given by the operator, and will be applied as soon as the Optidrive output frequency
reaches zero. This can be used to ensure that the motor speed has definitely reached
zero before the output is disabled.
17. If a mechanical brake is being applied, this can be activated by using the Optidrive user
relay (terminals 10 and 11). P-19 should be set to 0 in this case.
18. The level of DC injection braking is set using P-31. This is a percentage of motor rated
voltage. Typical values lie between 5% and 20% depending on motor type.
19. In some applications (eg fans) it is possible that the motor/fan spins when the Optidrive is
disabled due to airflow through the fan blades. In this case, the Optidrive will start onto a
spinning motor. To avoid possible over-current trips, the motor speed should be brought
to zero before the Optidrive output ramps up in frequency. This is achieved by setting P-
33 = 1 (DC injection braking on drive enable).
20. When P-33 = 1, DC injection braking will be applied for the time set in P-32 with a voltage
level as set in P-31 on both enable and disable (start and stop) commands to the
Optidrive.

Application Note AN 24
Master / Slave operation using the Optical Link
• General
For applications that require digital Master / Slave speed following, the Optidrive offers a very
easy solution using optical communications. A Master / Slave system requires one Master
Optidrive to which any number of slaves (unlimited) are connected using OptiLink, available
from Invertek Drives as a kit of parts (OptiLink kit).
When in Master mode, the Optidrive transmits its own instantaneous speed reference to all
the slaves via the OptiLink. Each slave can operate at a preset ratio of the Master Optidrive
speed, using P-35 (speed reference scaling factor) to set this ratio.
• Notes :
21. The standard IR window in the front of each of the Optidrives must be replaced by the
optical windows supplied with the OptiLink kit. A small screwdriver can be used to remove
the standard IR windows from the front of each Optidrive. The first Optidrive (Master) and
the last slave Optidrive should be fitted with the single hole windows. The 2-hole windows
should be used for all the slave Optidrives between the Master and last slave.
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, THE MAINS SUPPLY MUST BE
DISCONNECTED BEFORE REMOVING THE INFRA RED WINDOWS
22. The Optical fibre should be cut cleanly to the required lengths using a
sharp craft knife and inserted into the small collets supplied with the
OptiLink kit, so that the optical fibre just protrudes beyond the bottom
of the collet. The collet with fibre inserted should then be pushed fully
into the required hole in the Optidrive IR window. 1mm
23. The Master Optidrive must have P-12 set to 3 (Master terminal mode). All the slaves
should have P-12 = 1 or 2, depending on whether or not negative speed is required.
24. The relative speed of each slave with respect to the Master speed can be set using P-35.
This allows any speed ratio in the range 20% to 500%.
Each Slave drive requires a Drive Enable by connecting Pins 1-2 on the terminal strip. When
the Master drive is enabled, all slaves will enable simultaneously (if not tripped!).

Application Note AN 25
• General
All communications with the Optidrive are achieved using the optical IR port built into every
Optidrive as standard. To communicate with the Optidrive, the information must be encoded
according to the protocol described in this document and originate from an IrDA compliant
optical tranceiver.
If the application requires the use of either an Optiwand or a communications Gateway, the
users do not need to concern themselves with the details of the communication protocol. This
will be handled internally by the Gateway or Optiwand.
If, however, the user would like to communicate directly with the Optidrive, either optically or
by using an optical / RS485 adapter, the information in this document will be required.
When communicating between the Optidrive and a gateway or host system where line-of-
sight communication (as with the Optiwand) is not possible, communication is achieved using
an optical adapter, optical polymer fibre and either a gateway or host controller.
− Each Optidrive acts as a slave unit any will only transmit data in response to a request
from the Host / master.
− Global telegrams are permitted allowing simultaneous data transfer to multiple drives
− All operations that are supported by the Optiwand can also be carried out via a Gateway
or external host controller.
− When data is received by an Optidrive, it will be actioned immediately. All operations can
be carried out transparently whilst the Optidrive is driving a motor with the exception of a
parameter set download operation. Individual parameters can be changed during drive
operation.
− All transmitted bytes other than the START and STOP flags, including all commands and
the data checksum are send as ASCII codes. For example, a download command (‘D’ =
0x44 (hex)) is sent as two consecutive ASCII codes ie 0x34, 0x34. Further examples will
be shown in the following section.
− Any non-ASCII byte received other than the START / STOP flags will terminate the data
reception and a new sequence must be started.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
All transmissions originating from a Host controller must have the following format :
** For communication with the Optidrive from a Host controller, add the value 128 to the drive
address. This distinguishes between Optiwand and Host controller communications
Examples :
0x7F, 0x38, 0x35, 0x35, 0x30, 0x30, 0x39, 0x36, 0x30, 0x35, 0x45 0x7E
Note that the transmitted speed in Hertz is always 60x the speed required. Therefore 40Hz is
transmitted as 40.0 x 60 = 2400. The high byte is transmitted first. A word (16-bit) value is
always transmitted.
Checksum = logical NOT ∑(0x30, 0x35, 0x35, 0x30, 0x30, 0x39, 0x36, 0x30) = 0x66
Note that the checksum is the least significant byte of the result.
Global commands from a host controller are sent by using 0xC7 as the drive address (add
128 to the ASCII code ‘G’ ie 0x80 + 0x47 = 0xC7).
All Optidrives receiving a command following this drive address will carry out this command.
There is no reply from the Optidrives to a global command.
Example :

________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note that if a valid data packet is received with an incorrect (different) drive address, the
Optidrive will ignore the data and no response at all will be generated.
All responses to valid commands will be the lower case equivalent to the command received.
For example, if a ‘R’ command is received by the Optidrive, it will respond with an ‘r’ reply.

________________________________________________________________________________________________
Download operations
Prior to carrying out a download operation, the Host controller must request the software
version from the Optidrive. This has been implemented to ensure compatibility with possible
future products.
All Optidrives with V1.05 software will respond with a value in the range 150 to 159 (decimal),
where the least significant digit represents possible variants of the V1.05 software release. All
of these will operate in exactly the same way from a communications viewpoint.
Note that early versions of the Optidrive (V1.04 and earlier) will not respond to the Version
command. All Optidrives produced since February 2000 will be fitted with V1.05 software. If a
download operation to an earlier version is needed, please contact Invertek Drives for further
information. In general, this should not be required.
Once the software version has been identified, the parameter set can be downloaded to the
Optidrive.
All the parameters within a parameter set are transferred sequentially. This sequence must
be maintained at all times, otherwise data loss may occur.
As with all other data transfer, each byte of the parameter set is converted into two ASCII
values prior to transmission.
The exact format of the parameter set is defined in an additional application note (AN26 –
Parameter Set Data format)

Upload operations
An upload operation can take place at any time, also when the Optidrive is running. This
operation is carried out by issuing the Upload (‘U’) command as follows :
The Optidrive with the correct Dive address will respond by sending its own complete
parameter set formatted in exactly the same way as with a download operation. This will be
as follows :
The format of the parameter set is detailed in application note AN26 - Parameter Set Data
format.
The parameter value is a 16-bit value with the high byte transmitted first. The parameter
number is a byte value representing the number of the parameter to be edited.
Example :
0x7F, 0x38, 0x32, 0x34, 0x46, 0x30, 0x45, 0x31, 0x30, 0x30, 0x31, 0x45, 0x34, 0x7E

Note that the value transmitted representing any value in Hz is 60x that value in Hz. For
60.0Hz, the value transmitted is 3600 (0x0E10).
