ABB Baldor FlexDrive Servo Drives

Electrical Specifications

Input Voltage: Various specifications are available, such as 115VAC, 230VAC, 460/400VAC, etc. Different models are applicable to different voltage ranges with corresponding minimum and maximum voltage limits.

Input Frequency: Support 50/60Hz ±5% frequency.

Output parameters: output bus voltage, phase current, peak phase current, output power, output frequency, etc. vary by model. For example, some models have an output frequency range of 0 - 500Hz and efficiency greater than 95%.

Logic Power: For certain models (FDxAxxxx - xxx3), an external 20 - 30VDC logic power supply is required, and the input current and inrush current varies by model.

Control Specifications

Control Type: IGBT PWM sine wave control for precise motor control.

Feedback type: Supports resolver feedback (resolution is automatically set according to the speed, up to 14 bits) and encoder feedback (signal type RS422, maximum input frequency 125kHz).

Analogue Inputs: Analogue speed command and analogue torque command inputs from 0 - 10VDC or ±10VDC with 12 bit command signal resolution and 500ms update rate.

Pulse Inputs: Pulse/direction input signals from 12 - 29VDC, optically isolated, maximum input frequency 125kHz, cycle time 1ms.

Communication Specifications

Serial Interface: Supports RS232C (non-isolated, 9600 Baud) and RS485 (non-isolated, 9600 Baud) communication standards.

CAN bus (optional): Some models support CAN bus, following CAN_OPEN and DS301 protocols, with a default baud rate of 125kbit/second, which can be changed by AS1 switch setting or serial command.

Physical Specifications

Size and Weight: The size and weight of the drives vary from model to model, e.g., models A, B, and C are different from models E, G, and H. Models with the CAN option may have a slightly increased width.

Protection: IP20 rated to provide a degree of protection against dust and foreign objects.

Environmental Adaptability: Capable of operating over a range of altitudes, temperatures, and humidity. No derating is required up to 3300 feet (1000 metres) above sea level, and a percentage of derating is required above that; operating temperature range is 0 - 40°C, with derating required above 40°C, and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C; storage temperature range is -25 - +70°C, and the humidity range is 10% - 90% non-condensing.

Other specifications

Regenerative Functions: Drives at different voltages have different parameters for regenerative functions such as switching threshold, rated/peak power, maximum regenerative switching current and maximum load inductance.

Installation Requirements: Pay attention to the connection method and tightening torque of each component when installing, for example, the tightening torque of the X1 connector is 0.5 lb - in (0.6Nm), and make sure to use the correct cables and connectors, and follow the relevant EMC installation requirements.

Product Notice Intended use:

These drives are intended for use in stationary ground based applications in

industrial power installations according to the standards EN60204 and VDE0160.

They are designed for machine applications that require variable speed controlled

three phase brushless AC motors.

These drives are not intended for use in applications such as:

-- Home appliances

-- Medical instrumentation

-- Mobile vehicles

-- Ships

-- Airplanes

Unless otherwise specified, this drive is intended for installation in a suitable enclosure. 

The enclosure must protect the control from exposure to excessive or corrosive moisture, dust and dirt or abnormal ambient temperatures. 

The exact operating specifications are found in Section 7 of this manual.

The installation, connection and control of drives is a skilled operation,disassembly or repair must not be attempted.

In the event that a control fails to operate correctly, contact the place of purchase

Safety Notice : This equipment contains high voltages. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. 

Only qualified personnel should attempt the start--up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.

This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts that are driven by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury. 

Only qualified personnel should attempt the start--up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.

-- System documentation must be available at all times.

-- Keep non-qualified personnel at a safe distance from this equipment.

-- Only qualified personnel familiar with the safe installation, operation and

maintenance of this device should attempt start-up or operating procedures.

-- Always remove power before making or removing any connections to this contro

PRECAUTIONS: Classifications of cautionary statements.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,could result in injury or death.

Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,could result in damage to property

WARNING: Do not touch any circuit board, power device or electrical connection before you first ensure that power has been

disconnected and there is no high voltage present from this equipment or other equipment to which it is connected.

Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Be sure that you are completely familiar with the safe operation of this equipment. This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts that are controlled by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Be sure all wiring complies with the National Electrical Code and all regional and local codes or CE Compliance. Improper wiring may cause a hazardous condition.

WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power.

Do not apply AC power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Do not remove cover for at least five (5) minutes after AC power is disconnected to allow capacitors to discharge. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Improper operation of control may cause violent motion of the motor shaft and driven equipment. Be certain that unexpectedmotor shaft movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Peak torque of several times the rated motor torque can occur during control failure.

WARNING: Motor circuit may have high voltage present whenever AC power is applied, even when motor is not rotating. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: If a motor is driven mechanically, it may generate hazardous voltages that are conducted to its power input terminals. The enclosure must be grounded to prevent a possible shock hazard.
