A brief history of Top Drives
Since the advent rotary drilling in the early 1900s, drilling
technology has made steady and, in some cases, spectacular
progress. In a little over 100 years, well depths have gone from
the 70-foot depth of Drake's Well to over 40,000 feet at the rig
on Kola Peninsula east of Finland. To accomplish this,
advances were necessary in rig design, equipment, bits,
materials and drilling techniques.
Varco International, Inc., is proud of its part in advancing the
technology of drilling. In 1982 they introduced the industry's
first top drive drilling system. By replacing the traditional rotary
drive and kelly with an advanced system that rotates the drill
string and handles entire 93-ft. stands of pipe, Varco was able
to reduce drilling time by up to 25% while increasing the overall
capability and efficiency of the drilling operation.
As a result, Varco Top Drive Drilling Systems have now
become the new performance standard for the drilling industry.
And Varco continues to extend the threshold of Top drive
technology with the introduction of a complete line of AC top
drive systems.
A new threshold in AC technology

For years the backbone of oil industry power has been the
1000 hp DC traction motor adapted from locomotives. They are
used extensively to power a variety drilling operations including
drawworks, rotary tables and mud pumps. DC traction motors
area rugged, dependable, readily available source of high
torque electric power. These characteristics made them the
ideal choice for the conversion of drilling equipment from direct
drive diesel to electric power.
In developing its Top Drive systems, Varco first turned to these
DC motors to power its new technology. And while they were
appropriate for some applications, it became evident that
smaller, more compact motors were needed for today's perfor-
mance requirements. There was a need for an efficient, high-
performance alternative to traditional DC systems. As part of
Varco’s ongoing development effort, various AC motors and
drives were reviewed in an effort to satisfy the specific require-
ments of drilling applications. Varco design engineers deter-
mined that rapid developments in adjustable frequency
technology made AC drives and motors a better solution for
certain applications traditionally served by DC systems. These
modern AC motor/control combinations are uniquely suited for
the requirements of the drilling industry. By optimising various
components, rugged, reliable AC drives and motors now can
produce superior power density for a given frame size. The
result - compact, efficient power plants that extend the
performance envelope of drilling operations.
A performance paradigm
By utilising highly efficient AC motors with the latest variable
frequency drives, Varco has defined a new category of
performance top drive systems. These new AC drives can stall
at full torque for extended periods of time, provide significantly
higher intermittent torque and offer more precise control at all
speeds. An additional benefit of the advanced AC technology
of Varco top drives is constant, useable horsepower over a
greater range of speed and torque. This means that you can
run faster with more torque - an ideal condition for maximising
the potential of diamond and polycrystalline diamond compact
(PDC) bits. In the competitive world of drilling and production,
Varco has developed technology that is defining a new
performance paradigm. Their AC top drive systems combine
increased performance, reduced maintenance, lower power
consumption, and flexible drive parameters into an unbeatable
combination over a wide variety of applications.

TRANSMISSION/MOTOR HOUSING
AND SWIVEL ASSEMBLY
AC Electrical
TDS Training Manual
Transmission/Motor Housing (Main Body) and

Swivel Assembly
The transmission/motor housing and swivel assembly transfers the power produced
by AC drilling motors to the drill string. Inside the transmission/motor housing main
body is a single-speed double-reduction spur gear system that provides a 10.5:1
ratio from the motors to the main shaft. The main thrust bearing located inside the
motor housing supports drilling loads, while the load stem, which bypasses the
thrust bearing and provides support for the rotating link adapter and pipe handler,
carries the tripping loads. The main body of the motor housing provides a sealed oil
lubrication reservoir for the transmission gears and bearings. Bearings and gears
are force fed by an oil pump that is integral with the main body. A low speed
hydraulic motor drives the oil pump. The filtered lubrication oil constantly circulates
through the main thrust bearing, take-up bearing, lower radial and compound gear
bearings and over the gear meshes. An industry standard wash pipe packing box
assembly is located between the main shaft/swivel stem and the S-pipe weldment.
The bonnet supports the S-pipe weldment. The forged alloy steel bail swings
forward for attaching to standard rotary drilling hooks. The bail is fitted with bronze
bushings that are grease lubricated.

MOTOR COOLING SYSTEM
The motor cooling system on the AC TDS is a local intake pressure blower
type. It consists of two 5 HP AC motors integrally mounted on top of each AC
drilling motor. Air is drawn in from the combination brake cover/air intake and
delivered through rigid ducting to an opening in the top of each motor. The
cooling air then passes through the inside of the open-frame type AC drilling
motors and exits out of two louver openings near the bottom of the motors.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
AC Electrical
TDS Training Manual
The hydraulic control system is a completely self-contained, onboard system. A 10-

horsepower, 1800 RPM, AC motor, drives two hydraulic pumps and powers the
hydraulic system. A fixed displacement pump drives the Lube oil system motor. A
variable displacement pump provides hydraulic power for the AC motor brakes,
powered rotating head, remote actuated IBOP, pipe backup clamp cylinder link tilt
and counterbalance system.
The hydraulic manifold attaches to the main body and contains solenoid, pressure
and flow control valves.
A sealed stainless steel reservoir supplies hydraulic oil, eliminating the need for
draining and refilling during normal rig moves. The reservoir is mounted between the
two AC drilling motors and is equipped with strainers and oil level sight gauges.
Three hydro-pneumatic accumulators are located on the main body. The

counterbalance system uses the largest accumulator. The medium size accumulator
unloads the variable displacement pump and the smallest accumulator activates the
delay circuit on the IBOP actuator.

TDS Training Manual
AC DRILLING MOTOR BRAKES
A modified U-face attaches the motors to the main body. This mounting
method allows installation of the motors without shimming or special
alignment. Each motor has double-ended shafts with a drive pinion mounted
on the lower end and disc brake rotor mounted on the upper end. Two
hydraulic calliper disc brakes mounted to the top end of each motor, hold
torque in the drill string and assist in positioning during directional work. An
electrical solenoid valve remotely operates the hydraulic calliper disc brakes.
The AC drilling motors are an open-frame type, meaning that the cooling air
passes through the inside of the motion The drilling motors, manufactured
specifically for top drive applications, have internal temperature sensors,
vacuum varnish impregnated windings, high capacity bearings, and tapered
output shafts to improve serviceability of the pinion gear and brake hubs.

Powered Rotating link
The powered rotating link adapter located at the top of the pipe handler is a slip ring
assembly. It allows the hydraulic lines to remain connected as the pipe handler
rotates with the drill stem components while tripping out or positioning the link tilt.
The rotating link adapter also provides an attachment for the link tilt, pipe backup
clamp cylinder and remote IBOP actuator assembly. Grooves in the rotating link
adapter align with radial holes in the load stem, allowing hydraulic fluid to flow
between the rotating link adapter and the load stem as they rotate. The radial
passages at the upper end of the load stem intersect with each hose attachment that
runs to the hydraulic manifold. The radial passages in the lower end of the load
stem intersect sealed grooves in the rotating link adapter that, in turn, connect with
hose attachments that run to all the actuators on the pipe handler. The rotating link
adapter can be powered in either direction by a hydraulic drive motor. A pinion gear
on the hydraulic drive motor engages a ring gear attached to the top of the rotating
link adapter. An electric solenoid valve operates the rotating link adapter hydraulic
motor.

TWO WAY LINK TILT (PH-50)
The two way link-tilt cylinder assemblies consist of the cylinder

rods pinned to the rotating link adapter and the cylinder bodies
pinned to the links through a set of clamps. Pressurising the
cylinder assemblies by operating the switch on the driller's
console extends the drill pipe elevator to the mouse hole or the
drill down position. A float position allows the links to return to
well centre, the latch on the cylinder assembly limits the travel
of the elevator to the derrick man position. Releasing the larch
by pulling a cable allows the elevator to travel to the mousehole
position

Internal Blowout Prevention

The two Internal Blowout Prevention (IBOP) control valves contained in the
pipehandler are ball type, full size. internal opening safety valves. These two valves
a hex drive remotely operated upper valve, and a manually operated lower valve.
form the ;well control system. Both valves have 6-5/8" regular RH connections and
15.000 psi pressure ratings. The remotely controlled upper IBOP valve is opened
and closed by a yoke and a hydraulic cylinder that is controlled from the driller's
console using an electric solenoid valve. A clam shell housing rotates with the valve
body and moves up and down to drive a small crank arm on each side of the valve
stem. The housing is actuated by a cylinder through a non-rotating actuator ring.
The hydraulic cylinder is attached to the torque arrestor frame. The lower valve is
the same type as the upper except it must be manually opened and closed with a
wrench. Both valves remain in the string at all times and are readily available by
connecting the Top Drive to the drill string. The lower valve can be broken-out from
the upper valve using tongs after swinging the torque arrestor frame out of the way.
The torque arrestor frame can be pulled away from the drill string after opening the
front gate on the clamp cylinder body and removing the stabiliser half. After
breaking-out the lower valve, the Top Drive can be hoisted away, allowing room to
install the appropriate subs arid valves for well control operations. After removing
the lower valve from the upper valve on the Top Drive using conventional fig tongs,
the lower valve remains connected to the drill string for well control purposes. A
crossover sub is included with the system to allow connection of the drill stem to the
lower valve. A drill pipe elevator hangs from a pair of conventional links that attach
the link adapter. Actuating the link tilt swings the elevator out to facilitate picking up
pipe.

TORQUE BACK-UP CLAMP
The torque hack-up clamp is supported by a torque arrestor frame that hangs from
the rotating link adapter. The backup clamp is located below the lower shoulder of
the saver sub and consists of a pair of gripping jaws with die inserts and 10"
diameter clamping cylinder for gripping the box end of the tool joint when connected
to the saver sub. The backup clamp body is attached to the torque arrestor frame in
such a way that it can float up or down to allow for thread engagement and counter
backup torque while making and breaking connections.
When the clamp mode is activated, a shot pin mechanism automatically engages
the rotating ring to prevent the link adapter from rotating while breaking out the
connection.
AC Electrical
TDS Training Manual
COUNTERBALANCE SYSTEM
The counterbalance system includes two hydraulic cylinders connected between

the bail and the hook. When the system is activated, the two cylinders support
most of the weight of the Top Drive. This system protects root joint threads by
taking much of the weight off the drill pipe while making or breaking connections.
A new feature for the TDS-9S is called STAND JUMP. It consists of a switch at
the driller's console allowing you to change the mode of operation of the
counterbalance cylinders from DRILL, which is a standard counterbalance
condition, to STAND JUMP. The STAND JUMP feature allows the cylinders to lift
the weight of the top drive off the drill string while breaking out a connection, this
eases the stress on the threads and avoids damage. The cylinders lift the swivel
bail off its resting point on the hook. The two hydraulic cylinders are connected
to a hydro-pneumatic accumulator located on the main body. A manual valve
can extend the cylinders to assist during rig-up. The accumulator is charged with
hydraulic fluid and maintained at a predetermined pressure setting by the
counterbalance circuit in the hydraulic control manifold, located on the main
body. The hydraulic manifold controls all hydraulic power to the Top Drive.

Lubrication
Transmission
Selecting the proper gearbox oil
TDS transmissions operate under a combination of heavy and
shock loads. Under these conditions oil tends to extrude out of the
gear mesh. Keeping an effective film of oil on the gear mesh
requires oil with an AGMA “extra pressure” rating (EP), and a
minimum viscosity of 100 SUS at internal operating temperature.
Varco Top Drives also operate under a wide variety of ambient

temperatures. Select lubrication for the TDS based on the minimum
ambient temperature (surrounding air) to be expected before the
next oil change. Under all but the most severe operating
conditions, Varco recommends changing the oil every six months.
Introducing an oil viscosity greater than required by the ambient
3 temperature can:
❏ Damage the gearbox due to reduced oil flow

❏ Damage the oil pump because of excessive load
Lubrication schedule
Description Frequency
Replace the Gearbox Oil Following Intial Break-in Following first month of operation
Replace the Gearbox Oil and Perform an Oil Analysis 1 x every 6 Months
Oil viscosity should be adjusted based on expected ambient conditions for next six months
Replace the Gearbox Oil Filter (P/N 111013) 1 x every 3 Months
Remove, clean and replace the Magnetic Drain Plug 1 x every Year
The first oil change should be performed after the first month of
operation since new units often contain metal contaminates and
contaminates caused by initial break-in.

i For minimum temperatures below 20°F, the TDS must be warmed

up by rotating at a very light load (less than 200 Amps) and at very
slow speeds (less than 50 rpm) until the oil temperature climbs
above 20°F. If drilling conditions dictate oil temperatures below 20°F,
consult Varco service center.
If the oil temperature rises above 200°F, Varco recommends shutting

down or reducing drilling loads to stabilize the oil temperature below

Precautions
Release all hydraulic oil pressure by bleeding

accumulators before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Turn the counterbalance valve to shutdown mode to
bleed the hydraulic system. Hydraulic oil under
pressure can penetrate skin and cause serious injury.
Before opening the hydraulic system, thoroughly clean

work area, and maintain system cleanliness by
promptly capping all disconnected lines. Dirt is 3
extremely harmful to hydraulic system components
and can cause equipment failure and subsequent injury
to personnel.
! Use care when handling components to prevent nicking close

tolerance finishes.
! Use care to prevent contamination from entering the hydraulic

system during maintenance activities.

General purpose lubrication
! The lubrication intervals described in this manual are based

on lubricant supplier recommendations. Severe conditions
such as extreme loads or temperature, corrosive atmosphere,
etc., may require more frequent lubrication.
! Worn bushings, binding parts, rust accumulations, and other

abnormal conditions indicate more frequent lubrication is
necessary. Be careful not to over lubricate parts. For example,
too much grease forced into a fitting can pop out a bearing
3 seal. Over lubrication can also affect safety since over
lubricated parts can drip, creating a potential slipping hazard
for personnel.

Preinstallation
Preparation
The TDS-11SA interfaces with the rig’s hoisting system and
electrical power system. Derrick and electrical system modifications
are required when installing the TDS-11SA on existing rigs.
For derricks that handle triples, the required top drive travel is
about 100 ft. compared to about 75 ft. when using a Kelly. It is
generally necessary to replace the regular rotary hose (which is
normally 60 ft. long) with a 75 ft. hose, and extend the standpipe
height to approximately 73 ft.
Although many rig floor layouts are possible, installing the guide
beam on the drawworks side of the derrick, or mast, and opposite
the V-door is an ideal arrangement for handling tubulars from the V-
door.
The location of the electrical loop and mud hose is an important

installation consideration for pipe setback purposes, to ensure
proper clearance and to help prevent wear to the service loop and
4 mud hose. Other important installation considerations include the
location of:
❏ The casing stabbing board
❏ Floor and derrick accessories
❏ Drawworks fastline
❏ Guide beam hang-off bracket
❏ Torque reaction beam
❏ Mud stand pipe extension
❏ Varco drillers console location
❏ Variable frequency inverter/Varco control panel location
Derrick height is a critical interface requirement. Handling a

93 ft. stand typically requires 97 ft., resulting in an overall height
from the floor to the top of the traveling block of at least 126 ft.
Derrick Clear Working Height Derrick Crown Clearance

152 ft. 25 ft.
147 ft. 20 ft.
142 ft. 15 ft.

Each rig has different crown clearance for efficient tripping.

Installing the TDS-11SA with existing traveling equipment may
require an adapter–further reducing crown clearance.

Long term storage procedures
TDS-11SA Long Term Storage Procedures
For indoor storage, cover the TDS-11SA in its shipping and handling skid. A cargo
container is appropriate for outdoor storage.
Avoid wide variations in temperature and high humidity. The preferred environment is
clean and dry at 60˚-80˚F ambient.
All exposed unpainted metal surfaces are coated with a rust preventive prior to
shipment; however, check these surfaces periodically to be sure that no corrosion is
taking place. The recommended rust preventive (slushing compound) for bare metal
surfaces is Kendall Grade 5 (GE-D6C6A1) or equivalent.
Cover all openings to prevent water or dust from entering. Leave enough space
around the drilling motors for ventilation. Do not use silica gel or a dehydrating agent.
During storage, rotate the motors and gear train periodically to distribute lubricant.
Perform this at three month intervals if stored indoors, and at one month intervals if
stored outdoors.
For long term storage recommendations dealing with the AC drilling motors, see the
motor manufacturer’s manual.
Returning the TDS-11SA to Service After Storage 4

Remove all rust preventive and any corrosion that may have taken place, taking
special care with load carrying components.
Repaint the tool if necessary.
Follow the return to service procedures in the AC drilling motor manufacturer’s manual.
Check for water and remove if any is found.
Change the hydraulic fluid and gearbox oil.
Lubricate the cooling and oil pump motors.
Lubricate the tool with general purpose grease.
Megger all connectors.

Nondestructive Examination (NDE)

Yearly (or after approximately 3,000 operating hours), perform a
Nondestructive Examination (NDE) of all critical load path items.
NDE inspection includes visual examination, dye penetrant
examination, magnetic particle inspection, ultrasonic inspection, x-
ray examination, and other methods of nondestructive testing for
metallurgical integrity.
Visual inspection
Use calipers on a regular basis to measure the amount of wear on
the elevator link eyes. Compare the measurements with the Wear
Chart to determine the current strength of the elevator links. The
capacity of the links equals the capacity of the weakest link.
TDS-11SA 6-23
Motor Housing
and Transmission

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
Once a year, or every 3,000 operating hours, Varco recommends
performing a Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) of the exposed
surfaces of all load carrying components to reveal any fatigue or
crack indications. Any indications found are a potential cause for
replacing the suspect component. Round bottom pits and erosion
are acceptable as long as the defect is less than 1/16 in. deep.
Larger defects or any crack indications are cause for replacing the
suspect component.
After approximately five years, or 15,000 operating hours,

depending on the severity of operating conditions, Varco
recommends performing a MPI of all load carrying components over
their entire surface (including internal bores) to reveal any fatigue or
suspect component. The load carrying components are:
❏ Mainshaft (lower portion)
❏ Bail
❏ Landing collar (yearly)
❏ Upper and lower IBOP
❏ Link adapter
❏ Saver, crossover, and spacer subs

6
❏ Power subs
❏ Power swivels
❏ Elevator links
Details on MPI procedures are in the following publications:
I.A.D.C. Drilling Manual, 9th Edition
ASTM A-275 Std. Method for Magnetic Particle Inspection of

Steel Forgings
ASTM E-709 Std. Recommended Practice for Magnetic Particle

Inspection
6-24 Varco Systems

Motor Housing
and Transmission

Ultrasonic Inspection
In addition to the MPI, Varco also recommends performing an
Ultrasonic Inspection of the above components to detect any
erosion of the inside diameter. Any erosion reduces the load-
carrying capability of the part. Any subsurface irregularity can also
compromise a component’s integrity.
Details on Ultrasonic Inspection procedures are in the
publication:
ASTM A-388 Std. Practice for Ultrasonic Examination of Heavy
Steel Forgings.
Safety valve inspection procedures (IBOP)

Upper and lower IBOP valves, because of their internal grooves and
shoulders, are particularly susceptible to corrosion fatigue cracking.
These internal diameter changes act as stress risers for bending
and tensile loads. It is especially important to properly inspect the
IBOP valves on a frequent basis. Read and use the IBOP valve
inspection procedures described in the IBOP Service Manual
(SM00611).

Precautions
To avoid serious injury or death, read and understand the following
warnings before performing inspection and maintenance
procedures:
Properly lockout the main power source before

performing lubrication, inspection, or replacement
procedures, unless specifically noted in this manual.
Wear protective glasses to prevent eye injuries from

fluids under pressure, as well as other hazards.
Do not attempt any adjustments while the machine is

moving.
Use caution when draining lubricant. It can be hot.
Never check for hydraulic leaks with your hands. Oil

under pressure escaping from a hole can be nearly
invisible and can penetrate skin causing serious injury.
Always check for leaks with a piece of wood or
cardboard and always wear protective eyewear when
working on hydraulic components.
Always discharge the three hydro pneumatic

accumulators before performing repairs on the
hydraulic system.
7
Do not attempt repairs you do not understand.
Read and understand all safety precautions and

warnings before performing maintenance procedures.

4. Clean the IBOP valves, main shaft, and saver sub surfaces
thoroughly. Make sure these surfaces are smooth and free of
grease, oil, and pipe dope.
5. Locate the tool joint lock symmetrically at each joint.
! Never tighten locking screws before the tool joint lock is at the
correct location, otherwise it will not slide freely.
6. Take any three or four locking screws equally spaced and

tighten them to establish parallel or perpendicular position of
the tool joint lock collars relative to the main shaft, IBOP
valves, and saver sub respectively. This properly seats the
collars on the taper of the inner ring and aligns the collars.
7. Using a torque wrench, tighten all locking screws gradually in

either a clockwise or counterclockwise sequence (not in a
7
diametrically opposite sequence). Continue tightening all of
the screws until they reach 185±5 ft lb.
8. Make sure no screw turns any more. The gap between the tool
joint collars should be as equal as possible all the way around.

Yearly (or after approximately 3,000 operating hours), perform a
Nondestructive Examination (NDE) of all critical load path items.
NDE inspection includes visual examination, dye penetrant
examination, magnetic particle inspection, ultrasonic inspection, x-
ray examination, and other methods of nondestructive testing for
metallurgical integrity.
Visual inspection
Use calipers on a regular basis to measure the amount of wear on
the elevator link eyes. Compare the measurements with the Wear
Chart to determine the current strength of the elevator links. The
capacity of the links equals the capacity of the weakest link.

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
Once a year, or every 3,000 operating hours, Varco recommends
performing a Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) of the exposed
surfaces of all load carrying components to reveal any fatigue or
suspect component.
After approximately five years, or 15,000 operating hours,

depending on the severity of operating conditions, Varco
recommends performing a MPI of all load carrying components over
their entire surface (including internal bores) to reveal any fatigue or
suspect component. The load carrying components are:
❏ Mainshaft (lower portion)
❏ Bail
❏ Landing collar (yearly)
❏ Upper and lower IBOP
❏ Link adapter
❏ Saver, crossover, and spacer subs
❏ Power subs
❏ Power swivels
❏ Elevator links

PH-50 Pipehandler

Ultrasonic Inspection
In addition to the MPI, Varco also recommends performing an
Ultrasonic Inspection of the above components to detect any
erosion of the inside diameter. Any erosion reduces the load-
carrying capability of the part. Any subsurface irregularity can also
compromise a component’s integrity.
Details on Ultrasonic Inspection procedures are in the
publication:
ASTM A-388 Std. Practice for Ultrasonic Examination of Heavy
Steel Forgings.
Safety valve inspection procedures (IBOP)

Upper and lower IBOP valves, because of their internal grooves and
shoulders, are particularly susceptible to corrosion fatigue cracking.
These internal diameter changes act as stress risers for bending
and tensile loads. It is especially important to properly inspect the
IBOP valves on a frequent basis. Read and use the IBOP valve
inspection procedures described in the IBOP Service Manual
(SM00611).

Hydraulic System
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic control system is a completely self-contained,
onboard system. A 10-horse power, 1800 rpm, AC motor, drives
two hydraulic pumps and powers the hydraulic system. A fixed
displacement pump drives the lube oil system motor. A variable
displacement pump provides hydraulic power for the AC motor
brakes, powered rotating head, remote actuated IBOP, pipe backup
clamp cylinder, link tilt, and counterbalance system. Three hydro-
pneumatic accumulators are located on the main body.
The hydraulic manifold attaches to the main body and contains

solenoid, pressure and flow control valves.
A sealed stainless steel reservoir supplies hydraulic oil, eliminating

the need for draining and refilling during normal rig moves. The
reservoir is mounted between the AC drilling motors and is
equipped with strainers and an oil level sight gauge.

Hydraulic System
Inspection
Release all hydraulic oil pressure by bleeding

accumulators before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Turn the counterbalance valve to shutdown mode to
bleed the hydraulic system. Hydraulic oil under
pressure can penetrate skin and cause serious injury.
Before opening the hydraulic system, thoroughly clean

work area, and maintain system cleanliness by
promptly capping all disconnected lines. Dirt is
extremely harmful to hydraulic system components
and can cause equipment failure and subsequent
injury to personnel.
! Use care when handling components to prevent nicking close

tolerance finishes.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate

the skin causing serious injury. Avoid injury by
discharging the three accumulators and relieving
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Always
search for hydraulic leaks with a piece of cardboard
or wood-not with your bare hands. Get immediate
medical attention for hydraulic fluid injuries. Fluid
injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may result. Do not
tighten hydraulic fittings while they are under
pressure.
Inspect the hydraulic system daily for leaks at fittings, damaged

hose covers, kinked or crushed hoses, hard or stiff hoses, and
damaged or corroded fittings. In addition, during the inspection,
tighten or replace any leaking port connections, and clean any dirt
buildup from hydraulic components.
8
Replace worn or damaged hydraulic system
components immediately.
Inspect the hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic reservoir located

between the AC drilling motors daily. Inspect the hydraulic filter
located on the upper left AC drilling motor daily.

Fixed displacement (lube) and variable displacement
pumps
1. Jog-start the electric motor to make sure the direction of
rotation is correct (clockwise when looking into pump shaft/
electric motor fan). Correct as required.
2. Start the electric motor and allow both hydraulic pumps to

circulate oil. Listen for unusual noises that would indicate
cavitation; check for leaks.
3. Locate the tube connecting manifold port PF to the lubrication

motor. Disconnect the tube at the manifold end, cap the tube
and plug the PF port using steel fittings.
4. Set the relief valve RV1 for the variable displacement pump to
a minimum setting, fully counterclockwise, which allows the
hydraulic system to operate without building up pressure.
5. Set the relief valve RV2 to minimum pressure, fully

counterclockwise.
i Make sure the variable displacement pump case is filled with clean
hydraulic oil.
6. Connect a gauge to test point PF. Increase the pressure by

adjusting relief valve RV2 clockwise until the pressure
increases to 400 psi at test point PF. Set the jam nut on RV2.
A steel cap is installed over the adjustment screw to
discourage unauthorized adjustment.
i While adjusting valves, verify a linear relationship between turning

the adjustment screw and observing the pressure change.
7. Turn off the electric motor. Reconnect the tube between

manifold port PF and the lubrication motor.
8. Connect an ammeter to the electric motor. Note the full-load

8
amps on the motor nameplate.
9. Restart the hydraulic system electric motor.
10. Set the counterbalance mode valve to the RUN position.
11. Adjust UV1, fully clockwise, to maximum pressure.
8-18 Varco Systems

pumps
12. Connect a gauge to test point PV. Note the ammeter reading
while RV1 is at minimum setting.
13. Raise the setting of relief valve RV1 from 0 psi to 1,500 psi at a
steady rate. During the pressure rise, observe the ammeter. The
motor current should rise to a maximum value at 800 psi, then
drop off and begin to rise again. The point where the current
drops is the pump pressure compensator setpoint.
14. Adjust relief valve RV1 to its minimum setting. If maximum motor
current does not occur at 800 psi, adjust the pump pressure
compensator as required.
15. Adjust relief valve RV1 again from 0 psi to 1,500 psi, and back
to 0 psi to verify maximum motor current at 800 psi.
16. Connect a gauge to test point SA, and leave the gauge on PV.
17. Adjust relief valve RV1 to 2,200 psi and secure the jam nut.
18. Install steel cap over the adjustment screw to discourage

unauthorized adjustment.
19. Adjust unloading valve UV1 counterclockwise until the pressure

at PV drops off, then an additional two turns counterclockwise.
The pressure cycles like a sawtooth wave.

20. Observe the unloaded pressure at PV (about 0 psi) while SA
reads about 2,000 psi. The pressure at SA decays until UV1
reloads. After reloading, the pressure rapidly rises to the unload
pressure.
21. Observe several unload-reload cycles to determine the unload

pressure.
22. Adjust the setting of UV1 as required to a 2,000 psi unload

pressure.
! Perform the adjustment with reasonable speed. The process

takes no longer than two minutes. Taking longer increases the
temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
23. Observe the cycle of loading and unloading of the relief valve.
To verify the setting of UV1, note the difference in pump noise
level between the loaded and unloaded condition.

Counterbalance circuit and stand-jump circuit
1. For the counterbalance circuit there are three adjustments:
❏ Relief valve (on counterbalance cylinder)
❏ PCC – operator set
❏ SJR – operator set
2. To set the relief valve, make sure the pumps are operating.
3. Adjust pressure reducing valve PCC to the maximum setting,

fully clockwise.
4. Connect a gauge to test port CB.
5. Adjust the cylinder-mounted relief valve to mid-scale to lower

the pressure setting.
6. Increase the pressure clockwise using a 5/32 in. Allen wrench

and 9/16 in. open-end wrench.
7. Observe the relationship of turning the relief valve adjustment

clockwise to pressure increase.
8. When the relief valve reaches system pressure, turn the

setting one full turn clockwise beyond the setting and set the
jam nut.
9. Install a steel cover over the valve.
10. Adjust PCC to 1,200 psi.
11. Measure pressure at test port CB.
12. Prepare the hardware to attach the cylinder pear links to the
hook.
13. Rotate the counterbalance mode valve from the RUN position
to RIG-UP position. This causes the counterbalance cylinders
to slowly extend.

20. Reduce PCC an additional 25 psi. The pressure at CB is about

1,600 psi.
21. Connect a gauge to test point B9. Activate the STAND JUMP
mode on the drilling console. Adjust relief valve SJR until the
bail lifts off the hook. The gauge at B9 should read about 190
psi.
22. Switch back to DRILL counterbalance mode and observe the

pressure at test point CB.
23. Switch back to STAND JUMP mode and observe the pressure
CB increase by 190 psi.

AC motor brake circuit
The AC drilling motor brakes are spring released and hydraulic
pressure applied at 1,400 psi. The pressure reducing valve
regulates the pressure to 1,400 psi. The solenoid valve operates to
apply pressure, setting the brakes, or stop pressure to release the
brakes.
To test the system, turn the auto brakes switch on the driller’s
console to the ON position. Attach a pressure gauge to B1 in the
manifold. The pressure reading should be 1,400 psi. If the reading
is not 1,400 psi, adjust the pressure control reducing valve PC 1 to
1,400. Turn the auto brakes switch to the OFF position. The
pressure reading should be very low. If the pressure is high, the
solenoid valve might be sticking.

1. Set the adjustable relief valve near the body of the cylinder.
The shot pin often misses the hole in the rotating gear. The
force the shot pin exerts is limited until the pin engages a
hole.
i The electrical system jogs the rotating head until the pin engages a
hole.
2. To limit the amount of force, you set the valve by operating

solenoid valve SV5 manually, forcing the pin to stop on the
face of the gear.
3. When the pin stalls out, measure the pressure at B5. Set the
relief valve pressure to 200 psi.
4. Tighten the jam nut on the relief valve.

2. Adjust the four load holding valves in pairs – the upper pair
and lower pair. Adjust all four counterbalance valves fully
clockwise, then one turn counterclockwise.
i If the valves are not adjusted correctly, link tilt operation is not
synchronized.
3. The correct pressure setting is 1,500 psi. The procedure is the

same for all four valves. Adjust the valves one at a time.
4. There is a test point on each loading manifold.
5. From the driller’s console, move the link tilt to go to the

mousehole position.
6. The cylinder goes to full extension and the pressure at the test
port TP is 2,000 psi.
7. Command the link tilt to the OFF position and observe the
pressure delay at TP. This delayed pressure is the setpoint of
the counterbalance valve.
8. Raise the valve setpoint by turning the adjusting screw 1/4

turn counterclockwise.
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the decayed pressure is 1,500 psi.
i This is an iterative process. Continue to set the driller’s console

control to the mousehole position and OFF, taking present and
decayed pressure readings.
! Turning the counterbalance valve counterclockwise increases

the pressure.

Counterbalance and stand jump
The accumulator, with precharge pressure of 900 psi, along with
check valve CV3, maintains a hydraulic pressure. Refer to the
vendor documentation material located in the Vendor
Documentation Package, for the gas charging procedure for the
accumulator.
A three-position manually operated valve controls counterbalance

operation for rig-up, run, and shut down modes. In the rig-up mode,
system pressure is applied to XC and the prefill valve, causing both
cylinders to extend. When the cylinders extend, you make up the
mechanical connection to the bail. In the run mode, for
counterbalance operation, approximately 1,600 psi is needed at the
counterbalance cylinders to lift the TDS-11SA off the hook.
The optional stand jump feature is controlled by solenoid valve

SV9. With the counterbalance in the run mode and the stand jump
switch on, additional pressure of approximately 300 psi is applied
to over the normal counterbalance pressure to lift the TDS-11SA
and drill string off the hook.
In the shutdown mode, the hydraulic system bleeds down the

system accumulator and the counterbalance accumulator pressure.
Counterbalance testing
For the counterbalance operation, a lift of approximately 30,000 lb
is achieved with a pressure of 1600 psi at CB. Perform the
following steps to adjust the force:
1. Set the counterbalance mode valve on the bottom of the

manifold to the RUN mode. Set the pressure control valve
PCC to the minimum setting (fully counterclockwise).
2. Test the pressure at port B9. There should be a 0 psi reading.
3. Test the pressure at port CB. Observe the position of the top
drive on the hook.
4. Adjust the pressure at pressure control valve PCC clockwise,

observing pressure at CB, until the top drive just lifts off the
hook. Back off the pressure 25 psi, as the top drive rests on
the hook. 8
TDS-11SA 8-33
Hydraulic System
Troubleshooting
Stand jump testing
For the optional stand jump feature, a lift of about 33,000 lb is
achieved with a pressure of approximately 1800 psi at CB. The
additional 300 psi pressure over the normal counterbalance
pressure is provided by energizing the stand jump solenoid valve
SV9. Perform the following steps to adjust the pressure:
1. Set the counterbalance mode switch to RUN and engage the

stand jump switch. Test the pressure at port CB and B9. Adjust
relief valve SJR fully counterclockwise to the minimum setting.
2. Slowly increase the pressure at CB by adjusting relief valve SJR

clockwise until the bail lifts off the hook with a stand of pipe in
the elevator.

Hydraulic schematic symbols

The following hydraulic troubleshooting section provides a
schematic diagram and description for each TDS-11SA hydraulic
circuit. Following each schematic is a group of troubleshooting
charts to help you quickly locate and correct hydraulic system
problems.
When performing hydraulic troubleshooting, be aware that:
❏ The electrical control system can be bypassed for

troubleshooting by manually overriding the solenoid valve for
each operational system.
Alert all personnel near the top drive before overriding

a solenoid valve. When you override a solenoid valve,
you bypass the safety interlock and top drive
components will move possibly causing serious injury
or death.
❏ Test points shown in the hydraulic schematic with a box (e.g.,

A4) can be found on the manifold under the main body. There
are also test points on the rotating link adapter motor.
❏ The system is preadjusted. Hydraulic problems are usually

related to faulty valves, contamination, or other damage to the
system rather than misadjustments. Changes to adjustments
should be made only after all other possible causes have been
eliminated.

AC TOP DRIVE
Section 9
Varco Driller’s Console
AC Electrical
VARCO DRILLERS CONSOLE (VDC)
The VDC is made from 300-series stainless steel, it uses full size oil tight
switches and indicators and is designed for zone one hazardous areas with
its EEx de (ia) rating without requiring to be purged.
The Varco supplied Driller’s console is equipped with the following items to
directly interface with the AC frequency drives: -
Throttle
The throttle uses a design similar to a standard throttle control supplied with
SCR Systems. The handle includes integral stops to prevent damage
Torque Limit
The torque limit it potentiometer is very similar to the designs used on SCR
Systems. The maximum torque output of the drive is limited to the continuous
torque rating of the drive and motors.
Make-Up Limit Potentiometer

The make-up potentiometer controls the makeup torque when the top drive is
used to makeup connections using the drilling motor. This control allows the
top drive to operate at the intermittent rating.
AC TDS Training Manual

VDC CONTROLS
1. DRIVE FAULT
Red indicator light flashes and horn sounds when a drive (VFI) fault is
detected.
2. BLOWER LOSS
Red indicator light flashes and horn sounds if there is a failure in one or
both of the air cooling motors.
3. BRAKE ON
Red indicator illuminates when the brake solenoid valve is
energised. The indicator flashes in case of a faulty make-up
connection.
4. DRILL MOTOR OVER-TEMPERATURE
Red indicator flashes and horn sounds if there is an over- temperature
condition in one or both of the AC drilling motors.
5. IBOP CLOSED
Amber indicator light illuminates when there is hydraulic pressure to the
cylinder that closes the IBOP valve.
6. OIL PRESSURE LOSS
Red indicator flashes when there is an oil pressure loss in the gear case
lubrication system.
7. ALARM SILENCE/LAMP CHECK
When any alarm indicator light flashes and the horn sounds, press the
switch to silence the horn, the alarm light stays on until the fault is rectified,
if the fault is not rectified in 5 minutes, the alarm repeats. The switch is
also a lamp check for all lights on the VDC, the switch must be pushed and
held for two seconds to obtain a lamp check.
8. BRAKE SWITCH
There is three brake switch positions, OFF, AUTO and ON, turning the
switch to the ON position turns the brake on and lights the brake indicator.
In the AUTO position, the brake automatically turns on when the throttle is
turned off. Turning the brake to the OFF position turns the brake off. The
brake will operate if there is a drive fault with the VFI.
9. DRILL CURRENT LIMIT POTENTIOMETER
The potentiometer sets the current limit in the VFI during drilling
operations, this sets the torque for normal drilling operations in the drill
position.
10. DRILL PIPE ELEVATOR SWITCH
There are three switch positions, OFF, LEFT and RIGHT, turning the
spring operated switch to the left moves the drill pipe elevator to the left,
and turning the switch to the right moves the drill pipe elevator to the right.
NOTE: - This works only after the link tilt float switch is pressed.
11. DRILL/SPIN/TORQUE SWITCH
There are three switch positions, DRILL, SPIN and TORQUE, the
switch is in the DRILL mode during normal drilling, SPIN mode is a fixed
speed and current signal to the AC motors and TORQUE mode is a fixed
speed with gradual rise in torque up to the make-up value set by the make-
up potentiometer when in Forward mode, when in Reverse the Torque
value rises to maximum until the connection is broken.
12. EMERGENCY STOP CIRCUIT
The Emergency Stop switch is hard wired to the VFI, pressing the button
deselects the VFI and will cause the Top Drive rotation cost to a stop
regardless of throttle position.
NOTE: - All other auxiliary functions remain ON.
13. IBOP SWITCH
The IBOP switch activates the upper IBOP valve, turning the switch to the
left retracts the IBOP actuator cylinder to close the valve, turning the
switch to the right extends the cylinder to open the valve.

14. LINK TILT FLOAT

The elevator links “float” to the centre (NEURAL) position when the
pushbutton is pushed, thus the drill pipe elevator can then be rotated.
15. LINK TILT SWITCH
This activates the link tilt cylinders, the centre position is OFF, turning the
switch to the left extends the cylinders, turning the switch to the right
retracts the cylinders. This is a maintained switch that holds the position of
the cylinder when returned to the OFF position.
16. MAKE UP CURRENT LIMIT POTENTIOMETER
This potentiometer sets the current limit in the VFI when using the Top
Drive to make connections, the Torque can be adjusted by turning the
potentiometer to increase or decrease the Torque.
17. OFF/FORWARD/REVERSE SWITCH
There are three switch positions, OFF, FORWRD and REVERSE, the OFF
position is used to deselect the VFI, FORWARD and REVERSE are used
when drilling or making/breaking connections. The switch acts as the
drive assignment.
18. TORQUE WRENCH SWITCH
Pushing this button engages the pipe clamp and shot pin lock.
NOTE: - Wrench cannot clamp with the brake on or throttle open.
19. RPM METER
Displays the RPM of the drill pipe.
20. TORQUE METER
Displays the drill pipe Torque in Ft/Lbs.
21. STAND-JUMP SWITCH
Energises the stand-jump solenoid, this causes drill pipe connection to
separate from the saver-sub as it unscrews.
22. THROTTLE
Controls the speed of the AC Drilling motors when in drill mode, by
sending a reference signal to the VFI.
23. TORQUE RELEASE
When the Top Drive is drilling ahead and stalled out, pressing the Torque
Release switch will slowly unwind the Torque out of the drill string in a
controlled manner.
24. HYDRAULIC POWER AUTO/ON
When switched to ON, the Top Drive Hydraulics can still be operated with
the Forward/Reverse switch in the OFF position. When in the AUTO
position the hydraulics are operated by the assignment of the Top Drive
Forward/Reverse. Thus when the Top Drive rotation of the main shaft is
not required, the hydraulics can still be operated.

Siemens Step 7 PLC

PLC Introduction
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), also referred to as programmable controllers,
are in the computer family. They are used in commercial and industrial applications. A
PLC monitors inputs, makes decisions based on its program, and controls outputs to
automate a process or machine. This course is meant to supply you with basic
information on the functions and configurations of PLCs.
PLCs consist of input modules, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), and output modules.
An input accepts a variety of digital or analogue signals from various field devices
(sensors) and converts them into a logic signal that can be used by the CPU. The CPU
makes decisions and executes control instructions based on program instructions in
memory. Output modules convert control instructions from the CPU into a digital or
analogue signal that can be used to control various field devices (actuators). A
programming device is used to input the desired instructions. These instructions
determine what the PLC will do for a specific input. An operator interface device allows
process information to be displayed and new control parameters to be entered.
Prior to PLCs, many of these control tasks were solved with contactor or relay controls.
This is often referred to as hard-wired control. Circuit diagrams had to be designed,
electrical components specified and installed, and wiring lists created. Electricians
would then wire the components necessary to perform a specific task. If an error was
made the wires had to be reconnected correctly. A change in function or system
expansion required extensive component changes and rewiring.
The same, as well as more complex tasks, can be done with a PLC. Wiring between
devices and relay contacts is done in the PLC program. Hard-wiring, though still
required to connect field devices, is less intensive. Modifying the application and
correcting errors are easier to handle. It is easier to create and change a program in a
PLC than it is to wire and rewire a circuit.
PLC Advantages
• Smaller physical size than hard-wire solutions
• Easier and faster to make changes
• PLCs have integrated diagnostics and override functions
• Diagnostics are centrally available
• Applications can be immediately documented
Siemens Step 7 PLC
Various Varco control systems uses the Siemens Step 7 300 series PLC (AR4000,
TDS-4S, Electronic Driller). The complete system consists of the 315-DP CPU, with
local Inputs and Outputs, and remote Inputs and Outputs through the PROFIBUS DP
network.
What is PROFIBUS ?
PROFIBUS is a serial fieldbus used primarily as the communication system for

exchange and information between automation systems and distributed field devices.
Thousands of successful applications have provided impressive proof that use of
fieldbus technology can save up to 40% in costs for cabling, commissioning and
maintenance as opposed to conventional technology. Only two wires are used to
transmit all relevant information (i.e. input and output data, parameters, diagnostic data,
programs and operating power for field devices). In the past, incompatible vendor-
specific fieldbuses were frequently used, virtually all systems in design today are open
standard systems, the user is no longer tied to individual vendors and is able to select
the best and most economical product from a wide variety of products.
PROFIBUS specifies the technical and functional characteristics of a serial fieldbus
system with which decentralised digital controllers can be networked together from the
field level to the cell level, Profibus distinguishes between master and devices and slave
devices.
Siemens Step 7 PLC Programming
The Siemens Step 7 PLC has three main methods of programming, these are LAD
(Ladder Logic), STL (Statement List) and FBD (Function Block Diagram). The
software for the AC Top drive is written mainly in Ladder Logic with a small part
written in Statement List (For the communication with the Siemens 70 Series Drive),
none of the program was written in Function Block Diagram.
Ladder Logic Diagram

The left vertical line of a Ladder Logic Diagram (above), represents the power or
energised conductor. The output element or instruction represents the neutral or
return path of the circuit. The right vertical line, which represents the return path on a
hard-wired control line diagram, is omitted. Ladder logic diagrams are read from left-
to-right, top-to-bottom. Rungs are sometimes referred to as networks. A network may
have several control elements, but only one output coil.
Statement List
A statement is an instruction for the PLC. A Statement List (STL) (above), provides
another view of a set of instructions. A comparison between the statement list shown
below, and the ladder logic shown above, reveals a similar structure. The operation,
what is to be done, is shown on the left. The operand, the item to be operated on by
the operation, is shown on the right.

Display Elements for PROFIBUS LED’S

SF DP BUSF Description
Off Off Configuration data OK, all configured slaves are

addressable.
On On Bus Hardware fault, DP interface fault
Possible Remedies:- Check the bus cable for short or interruption, evaluate the
diagnostic data, reconfigure or correct the configuring data.
On Flashes Station failure or at least one of the configured slaves

cannot be addressed.
Possible Remedies:- Check to make sure that the bus cable is connected correctly
to the CPU or that the bus is not interrupted. Wait until the
CPU has completed its power up, if the LED does not stop
flashing, check the DP slaves or evaluate the diagnostic data
for the DP slaves.
On Off Missing or incorrect configuring data.
Possible Remedies:- Evaluate the diagnostic data, reconfigure or correct the configuring data.
Step 7 CPU315-DP Back-up battery
Varco P/N = 122627-26
The Back-up battery for the CPU315-DP should only be replaced with the Power On, to
prevent the loss of data from the internal user memory, and to keep the clock of the
CPU running.
Siemens recommend that the Back-Up battery be replaced at yearly intervals.
When not in use the Back-Up batteries should be stored in a cool dry place, and can be
stored for five years.
Flash EPROM Memory Card
Installing the Memory card into the CPU.
Varco P/N – 122627-24
The purpose of the Memory Card is to store the user program, this will then be retained
when the CPU is powered down, even if a back-up battery has not been installed. With
the 315 - 2DP CPU, the Memory Card can be written to directly when installed as above
in the CPU.
The following procedure should be used for writing to the Flash Card when inserted in
the CPU :-
1. Power down the CPU and insert the Flash card.

2. Power up the CPU.
3. Delete the CPU using the key switch.
4. In the OFFLINE mode, download all the Blocks and System Data to the RAM.
5. Once all Blocks and Data are loaded, do a compare ONLINE and OFFLINE,
this should show that there are no differences (except for DB’s).
6. Still in the OFFLINE mode, do a Save RAM to ROM.
This should then display the message that this has been carried out satisfactory.
CPU Memory Reset
The CPU memory must be reset before a transfer of a complete user program to the
CPU, or if the CPU requests a MRES with its STOP LED flashing at one second
intervals, possible reasons for this are as follows:-
1. Wrong memory card has been plugged into the CPU.
2. RAM error in CPU.
3. Working memory too small, that is not all blocks of the user program on a
memory card could be loaded.
4. Attempt to load blocks with errors, for example if a wrong command has been
programmed.
With the 315-2 DP CPU and 5V FEPROM plugged in, the CPU requests a memory
reset.
Resetting the CPU Memory using the Mode Selector.
To reset the CPU using the Mode selector the following procedure should be carried
out:-
1. Turn the key to the STOP position
2. Turn the key to the MRES position and hold it in this position for about three
seconds, until the STOP LED lights up again.
3. Within three seconds, you must turn the key back to the MRES position and
hold it in this position until the STOP LED flashes, when the CPU has
completed the reset, the STOP LED stops flashing and remains lit.
The CPU has then performed the Reset.

AC Top Drive Step 7 PLC Program Structure
The Step 7 program for the AC Top Drive is structured as above, the program is
split into Functions (FC), which are initially called from the Organisation Block (OB).
There are two Program Block types, they are User Blocks and System Blocks.
User Blocks are the areas provided for managing the program code and the data for
the program. Based on the requirement of the process, the program can be
structured with the various options for user blocks, some of these blocks can be
executed cyclically, while others can be executed only when needed. User blocks
are also referred as Program blocks.
System Blocks are pre-defined function or function blocks integrated in the

operating system on the CPU, these blocks do not occupy any additional space in
the user memory. System blocks are called from the user program level, these
blocks have the same interface ,same design and the same number in the entire
system.
The User Blocks types that are used are Organisation block, Functions and Data
blocks.
Organisational Blocks (OB) form the interface between the S7 CPU and the user
program, the program for the AC Top drive is stored in various blocks and uses OB1
to call these blocks when needed.
Functions (FC) are logic operation blocks to which no memory area is assigned, an
FC does not need an instance data block, temporary variables are stored in the local
stack until the Function is concluded, and are lost when the FC finishes executing.
Data Blocks (DB) are permanently assigned areas in which data or information is
stored that another function collected, they are read/write areas that can be loaded in
the CPU as part of the program.
The System Block that is used in the program is the System Functions (SFC).
A System Function is a pre-programmed, debugged function that is integrated in

the S7 CPU, some of these tasks supported by these blocks are setting parameters
for modules, data communication, copying functions etc. SFC’s can be called from
the program without being loaded as part of the program, and do not have to be
assigned to a data block.
When the program is structured into Blocks, it must be accessed by calling one block
from another. As seen in the diagram above, when the program calls the second
block, the called block then executes all of its instructions, once the called block has
completed execution of its instructions, the calling block resumes the execution of its
program at the network following the Call instruction.
Choosing The Correct Operating mode
Step 7 allows you to examine, modify and write to programs in three different ways,
these ways are Direct, Offline and Online.
DIRECT
This mode is ideal for maintenance, in this mode you can directly monitor programs without
referencing to a project (no program loaded into Step 7). The project can be can be modified or
simply monitored to gather information about the system.
OFFLINE
Offline mode is best suited to offline programming, i.e. when the CPU is not present or
when the programming unit is not connected to the CPU. In this mode, blocks can be
written and then transferred (downloaded) to the CPU, downloading is obviously only
possible if the MPI cable is connected to the system. The program can also be
monitored, providing the program in the programming unit is the same as the one in the
CPU.
ONLINE
Online mode is the suited to programming with the programming unit connected to the CPU, if
the MPI cable is not present, the link will be automatically aborted. Programming changes will
however only take place when the appropriate ICON has been selected. To avoid differences
between the program on the disk and the program in the CPU (time stamp conflict), it is essential
to STORE TO DISK first and then DOWNLOAD to the CPU. Monitoring in this state is easier
as you are looking at what is at present in the CPU.
When working with Step 7, it is essential that only one of these modes is selected at any
one time, Step 7 will not allow to have blocks open in the Offline and online modes
together, one of the modes will have to be closed down before continuing.

Breaking Resistor
• Electrical energy is returned to the AC Drive by the Motor can
cause the DC Link to become excessively high when added to
existing supply voltage.
• The Breaking Resistor is added and removed from the circuit by
an IGBT, when requested.
• The Resistor placed across the DC Link, dissipates excessive
energy.
• Thus returning the Dc Link to a save voltage.
• This process allows the motor to act like a brake, slowing the

Parameter input via the PMU
The PMU parameterizing unit enables parameterization, operator
control and visualization of the converters and inverters directly on the
unit itself. It is an integral part of the basic units. It has a four-digit
seven-segment display and several keys.
The PMU is used with preference for parameterizing simple
applications requiring a small number of set parameters, and for quick
parameterization.
Key Significance Function

ON key • For energizing the drive (enabling motor activation).
• If there is a fault: For returning to fault display
OFF key • For de-energizing the drive by means of OFF1, OFF2 or OFF3
(P554 to 560) depending on parameterization.
Reversing key • For reversing the direction of rotation of the drive.
The function must be enabled by P571 and P572
Toggle key • For switching between parameter number, parameter index
and parameter value in the sequence indicated (command
becomes effective when the key is released).
• If fault display is active: For acknowledging the fault
Raise key For increasing the displayed value:
• Short press = single-step increase
• Long press = rapid increase
Lower key For lowering the displayed value:
• Short press = single-step decrease
• Long press = rapid decrease
Hold toggle key • If parameter number level is active: For jumping back and forth
and depress raise between the last selected parameter number and the
key operating display (r000)
• If fault display is active: For switching over to parameter
number level
• If parameter value level is active: For shifting the displayed
value one digit to the right if parameter value cannot be
displayed with 4 figures (left-hand figure flashes if there are
any further invisible figures to the left)
Hold toggle key • If parameter number level is active: For jumping directly to the
and depress lower operating display (r000)
key • If parameter value level is active: For shifting the displayed
value one digit to the left if parameter value cannot be
displayed with 4 figures (right-hand figure flashes if there are
any further invisible figures to the right)

X300 Parameter values
Toggle key As the PMU only has a four-digit seven-segment display, the 3
(P key) descriptive elements of a parameter
♦ Parameter number,
♦ Parameter index (if parameter is indexed) and
♦ Parameter value
cannot be displayed at the same time. For this reason, you have to
switch between the individual descriptive elements by depressing the
toggle key. After the desired level has been selected, adjustment can
be made using the raise key or the lower key.
With the toggle key, you can change Parameter number
over:
• from the parameter number to the P
P
parameter index
• from the parameter index to the
parameter value Parameter Parameter
index value
• from the parameter value to the
parameter number P
If the parameter is not indexed, you
can jump directly to the parameter
value.
NOTE If you change the value of a parameter, this change generally becomes
effective immediately. It is only in the case of acknowledgement
parameters (marked in the parameter list by an asterisk ‘ * ’) that the
change does not become effective until you change over from the
parameter value to the parameter number.
Parameter changes made using the PMU are always safely stored in
the EEPROM (protected in case of power failure) once the toggle key
has been depressed.
Example The following example shows the individual operator control steps to be
carried out on the PMU for a parameter reset to factory setting.

Parameter input via the OP1S
General
The operator control panel (OP1S) is an optional input/output device

which can be used for parameterizing and starting up the units. Plain-
text displays greatly facilitate parameterization.
The OP1S has a non-volatile memory and can permanently store
complete sets of parameters. It can therefore be used for archiving sets
of parameters, but first the parameter sets must be read out (upread)
from the units. Stored parameter sets can also be transferred
(downloaded) to other units.
The OP1S and the unit to be operated communicate with each other via
a serial interface (RS485) using the USS protocol. During
communication, the OP1S assumes the function of the master whereas
the connected units function as slaves.
The OP1S can be operated at baud rates of 9.6 kBd and 19.2 kBd, and
is capable of communicating with up to 32 slaves (addresses 0 to 31). It
can therefore be used in a point-to-point link (e.g. during initial
parameterization) or within a bus configuration.
The plain-text displays can be shown in one of five different languages
(German, English, Spanish, French, Italian). The language is chosen by
selecting the relevant parameter for the slave in question.

Plugging into units Carefully penetrate the pre-punched holes for the fixing screws in the
of the Compact and front panel of the Compact units. Plug the OP1S onto the Sub D socket
chassis type X300 and screw it tight using the two screws (M5 x 10, accessory pack)
from the inside of the front panel.
Run-up
After the power supply for the unit connected to the OP1S has been
turned on or after the OP1S has been plugged into a unit which is
operating, there is a run-up phase.
NOTE The OP1S must not be plugged into the Sub D socket if the SCom1
interface parallel to the socket is already being used elsewhere,
e.g. bus operation with SIMATIC as the master.
NOTE In the as-delivered state or after a reset of the parameters to the factory
setting with the unit’s own control panel, a point-to-point link can be
adopted with the OP1S without any further preparatory measures.
When a bus system is started up with the OP1S, the slaves must first
be configured individually. The plugs of the bus cable must be removed
for this purpose (see section "Bus operation").
During the run-up phase, the text "Search slave" is shown in the first
line of the display, followed by "Slave found" and the found slave
number as well as the set baud rate.

Example: Correcting the parameter number by means of "Raise"
If the parameter is found not to exist when the number is entered, a

message "No PNU" appears. A non-existent parameter number can be
skipped by selecting "Raise" or "Lower".
How the parameters are shown on the display depends on the type of
parameter. There are, for example, parameters with and without an

Transition between the parameter number, parameter index and

parameter value levels is made with "P".
Parameter number → "P" → Parameter index → "P" → Parameter
value
If there is no parameter index, this level is skipped. The parameter
index and the parameter value can be corrected directly with the
"Raise"/"Lower" keys. An exception to this are parameter values shown
in binary form. In this case, the individual bits are selected with
"Raise"/"Lower" and corrected with the numerical keys (0 or 1).
If the index number is entered by means of the numerical keys, the
value is not accepted until "P" is pressed. If the "Raise" or "Lower" keys
are used to correct the number, the value comes into effect
immediately. The acceptance of an entered parameter value and return
to the parameter number does not take place until "P" is pressed. The
level selected in each case (parameter number, parameter index,
parameter value) is marked with the cursor. If an incorrect parameter
value is entered, the old value can be obtained by pressing "Reset".
The "Reset" key can also be used to go one level lower.
Parameter value → "Reset" → Parameter index → "Reset" → Para.No.
Parameters which can be changed are shown in upper-case letters and
visualization parameters which cannot be changed are shown in lower-
case letters. If a parameter can only be changed under special
conditions or if an incorrect value has been entered with the numerical
keys, an appropriate message follows, e.g.:
♦ "Value not perm." Incorrect value entered
♦ "Value <> min/max" Value too large or too small
♦ "P53/P927?"No parameter access
♦ "Operating status?" Value can only be changed in the "Drive
setting" status, for example
With "Reset", the message is deleted and the old value is re-instated.
NOTE Parameter changes are always stored with power-failure protection in

the EEPROM of the unit connected to the OP1S.

obtained from the fault memory. With "Raise"/"Lower", the associated
operating hours are shown when a fault is waiting to be remedied.
After the cause of a fault has been removed, the fault is acknowledged
with "Reset" inside the operating display (the "Reset" key must be
appropriately parameterized. See section "Issuing commands via the
OP1S"). By pressing "P" and "Lower" at the same time, it is possible to
skip back directly to the operating display from the parameter level.
When there is an alarm, the red LED flashes. A warning appears in the
4th line of the operating display.

Example of an alarm display
The alarm number and the respective text is shown in the 4th line.
There can be several alarms at the same time but only the first alarm to
occur is shown on the display. Several alarms are shown in the 4th line
before the alarm number with an "+” instead of "-”. Information on all
alarms can be obtained with the alarm parameters r953 to r969.
An alarm cannot be acknowledged. As soon as the cause no longer
exists, the alarm/display disappears automatically.
Parameters
Parameters are the intervention points for adapting function blocks to
an application, for interconnecting function blocks via connectors and
binectors and for visualizing internal signals.
The various parameters are differentiated according to their function as
follows:
♦ Function parameters (can be read and written)
♦ BICO parameters (can be read and written)
♦ Visualization parameters (can only be read).
Each parameter is clearly designated.The parameter designation
comprises the parameter name and the parameter number, and
enables every parameter to be clearly identified. In addition to the
parameter name and the parameter number, many parameters also
have a parameter index. With the aid of this index, it is possible to store
several values for one parameter under one parameter number.
The function diagrams indicate the factory setting for every BICO
parameter and every function parameter. They further indicate the
value ranges for the changeable function parameters.
Parameter numbers The parameter numbers shown on the parameterizing unit (PMU) which
on the PMU is directly mounted on the unit consist of a letter and a three-digit
number.
The following applies for the letters:
♦ Upper-case letters (P, U, H and L) represent the BICO parameters
and function parameters which can be changed
♦ Lower-case letters (r, n, d and c) represent the visualization
parameters which cannot be changed.
The three-digit number covers the value range from 000 to 999; but not
all values are used.
Parameter numbers The OP1S operator control panel enables parameters to be selected
on the OP1S directly by their parameter numbers. As the OP1S only has a numerical
keypad, the parameter number must be replaced by a figure when
input. The following replace mode is applicable:
♦ "P"xxx and "r"xxx are replaced by "0"xxx
♦ "H"xxx and "d"xxx are replaced by "1"xxx
♦ "U"xxx and "n"xxx are replaced by "2"xxx
♦ "L"xxx and "c"xxx are replaced by "3"xxx
Examples:
Select r004 on OP1S: Input 0004
Select P050 on OP1S: Input 0050
Select U123 on OP1S: Input 2123
Select L411 on OP1S Input 3411
Function parameters The response of a function block is determined by function parameters.
Typical examples of function parameters are:
♦ Normalization of an input signal
♦ Acceleration or deceleration times in the ramp-function generator
♦ Proportional gain (Kp) and integral time (Tn) in the speed controller.
Function parameters can be indexed. The significance of the parameter
values stored in the various indices depends on the definition of the
respective parameter. A special group is formed by the function
parameters which are part of the so-called function data sets.
Parameter name

0.0 ... 10.0 ms Value range

Parameter number Parameter index Factory setting
Function data sets Special function parameters are put together in function data sets.
(Setpoint data sets) These parameters are marked in the function diagrams with the
parameter index .F.
The parameters concerned are indexed four-fold, which means that one
parameter value can be stored under each parameter index, i.e. a total
of four parameter values can be stored.
The active function data set determines which value is currently being
used. If function data set 1 is active, the parameter value stored in
parameter index 1 is used. If function data set 2 is active, the parameter
value stored in parameter index 2 is used, etc.
Example:
P462.1 = 0.50
P462.2 = 1.00
P462.3 = 3.00
P462.4 = 8.00
A total of 4 values are stored under parameter P462 (Accel Time). If
function data set 1 is active, the acceleration time is 0.50 secs. If
function data set 2 is active, the acceleration time is 1.00 secs. If
function data set 3 is active, the acceleration time is 3.00 secs and if
function data set 4 is active, the acceleration time is 8.00 secs.
The individual function data sets are selected by means of control word
bits 16 and 17 in control word 2 (P576.B and P577.B). Changeover is
possible at any time.
The active function data sets are displayed via the visualization
parameter r013 (Active FuncDSet).
NOTE Changeover of all the indexed parameters of the function data sets
between parameter indices 1, 2, 3 and 4 is always effected jointly.
Motor parameters The motor parameters enable the converter to the be adapted to the
connected motor and enable the open-loop and closed-loop control
structure to be adapted. Typical examples for motor parameters are:
♦ Rated motor data from the rating plate
♦ Specification of the connected tachometer
♦ Current and output limits
Motor parameters are indexed 4-fold.

Motor data sets Selected function parameters are put together in motor data sets.
These parameters are marked in the function diagrams with the
parameter index .M
The parameters concerned are indexed four-fold, which means that one
parameter value can be stored under each parameter index of these
parameters, i.e. a total of four parameters can be stored.
The active motor data block (MDS) determines which value is currently
being used. If MDS1 is active, the parameter value stored in parameter
index 1 is used, if MDS2 is active, the parameter value stored in
parameter index 2 is used, etc
Example:
P100.1 = 4
P100.2 = 3
P100.3 = 1
P100.4 = 1
A totoal of 4 values are stored under parameter P100 (Control Mode). If
motor data set 1 is active, the drive operates in speed control with a
tachometer. If the motor data set 2 is active, the drive operates in
frequency control without a tachometer. If motor data set 3 and 4 are
active, the drive operates in v/f control.
Individual motor data sets are selected via control word bits 18 and 19
in control word 2 (P578.B and P579.B).
Changeover is only possible in the powered-down state.
NOTE All indexed parameters of the motor data sets are always changed over
jointly between parameter indices 1, 2, 3 and 4.
BICO parameters With BICO parameters, you can determine the sources of the input
signals of a function block. This means that you can use BICO
parameters to define the connectors and binectors from which a
function block reads in its input signals. In this manner, you can "soft-
wire" the function blocks stored in the units to meet your requirements.
This is referred to as the BICO system.
For every BICO parameter, the type of input signals (connector or
binector) which you can connect to the inputs is specified. BICO
parameters have the following identification:
♦ B Binector parameter
for connecting binectors
♦ K Connector parameter
for connecting connectors with word length (16 bit)
♦ KK Connector parameter
for conneting connectors with double-word length (32 bit)
Reciprocal "softwiring" of binectors and connectors is not permitted.
However, you can always connect connector with word length and
double-word length to the connector parameters.
BICO parameters are available in two forms; they can either be
♦ non-indexed, or
♦ double-indexed.
BICO data sets Selected BICO parameters are put together in BICO data sets. These
(Basic/reserve data parameters are marked in the function diagrams with the parameter
sets) index .B.
The parameters concerned are double-indexed, which means that one
parameter value can be stored under each parameter index of these
parameters, i.e. a total of two parameter values can be stored.
The active BICO data set determines which value is currently being
used. If BICO data set 1 is active, the parameter value stored in
parameter index 1 is used. If BICO data set 2 is active, the parameter
value stored in parameter index 2 is used.
Example:
P554.1 = 10
P554.2 = 2100
A total of 2 values are stored under parameter P554 (Src ON/OFF1). If
BICO data set 1 is active, the ON command comes from digital input 1
of the basic unit. If BICO data set 2 is active, the ON command comes
from bit 0 of the first data word received by serial interface 1.
Individual BICO data sets are selected by means of control word bit 30
in control word 2 (P590.
The active BICO data set is displayed via visualization parameter r012
(Active BICO DS).
NOTE All indexed BICO parameters are always switched jointly between
parameter index 1 and 2.

Visualization Visualization parameters are used for visualizing internal quantities

parameters (e.g. applicable output current). These parameters are only displayed
and cannot be changed by you.
To distinguish them from the other parameters, they are designated
with a lower-case letter (r, n, d and c) in the parameter number.

Connecting up function blocks (BICO system)

BICO system is the term used to descrbe the method of creating
connections between function blocks. This is performed with the aid of
binectors and connectors. The name BICO system is derived from
these two terms.
A connection between two function blocks consists of a connector or
binector on the one side, and a BICO parameter on the other side. The
connection is always made from the point of view of the input of a
function block. You must always assign an output to an input.
Assigment is made by entering in a BICO parameter the number of the
connector or the binector from which the required input signals are read
in. You are allowed to enter the same connector and binector numbers
several times in different BICO parameters and thus use output signals
of one function block as input signals for several other function blocks.
Example:
In the following figure, connector K0152 is connected to connector
parameter P228. For this purpose, you must assign the number of
connector K0152 as the value to the connector parameter P228 , i.e. in
this case 152.

Technical data The communications board has three LEDs (green, yellow, red) for
providing information on the current operating status.
Voltage is supplied from the basic unit through the system’s plug-in
connector.
The CBP has a 9-pole SUB D socket (X448) which is provided for
connecting it up to the PROFIBUS system in accordance with the
PROFIBUS standard. All connections of this RS485 interface are short-
circuit-proof and floating.
The CBP supports baud rates of 9.6 kBaud to 12 MBaud and is also
suitable for connecting fiber-optic cable by means of optical link plugs
(OLPs).
Functionality ♦ Useful data is exchanged with the master according to the

"PROFIBUS profile for variable-speed drives", PROFIDRIVE.
♦ Acyclical communications channel for transferring parameter values

up to a length of 101 words with a SIMATIC S7-CPU
♦ Acyclical communications channel for linking the PC-based

SIMOVIS start-up and service tool
♦ Automatic adoption of the useful data structure defined in the master
♦ Supporting of diagnostic alarms in conjunction with a

SIMATIC S7
♦ Monitoring of the bus interface
♦ Supporting of SYNC-type PROFIBUS control commands for

synchronized data transfer from the master to several slaves
♦ Supporting of FREEZE-type PROFIBUS control commands for

synchronized data transfer from several slaves to the master
♦ Extremely simple parameterization of the CBP via the PMU of the

basic unit.
Description of the CBP’s functions on the PROFIBUS-DP
Definition The PROFIBUS-DP is an international and open standard field bus as

specified in field bus standard EN 50170 Part 2.
Its specification as an international standard guarantees its openness

and its independence from any particular manufacturer.
The PROFIBUS-DP enables very fast, time-critical transfer of data on

the field level.
With the PROFIBUS, a distinction is made between masters and

slaves.
♦ Masters determine data traffic on the bus and are also designated in
the literature as active nodes. There are two classes of master:
• DP-Master Class 1 (DPM1):

These are central stations (e.g. SIMATIC S5, S7 and SIMADYN
D) which exchange information with the slaves in defined
communications cycles.
• DP-Master Class 2 (DPM2):

Units of this type are programming units, planning units or control
and monitoring units which are used for configuring, starting up or
monitoring systems in operation.
♦ Slaves (e.g. CBP, CB15 etc.) can only acknowledge the messages
they receive or transfer messages to a master when the latter
requests a slave to do so. Slaves are also designated as passive
nodes.
Protocol The protocol architecture of the PROFIBUS-DP is oriented to the OSI

architecture (Open System Interconnection) reference model in accordance with the
international standard, ISO 7498, and uses layers 1 and 2 as well as the
user interface.
Transmission When transmission equipment is being selected, criteria such as high

equipment transmission speed and simple, inexpensive wiring and cabling is of
primary importance. PROFIBUS supports transmission according to
RS485 and also transmission by means of fiber-optic cable.
The transmission speed can be selected between 9.6 kBaud and 12
MBaud. The same speed is specified for all units on the bus when
the system is started up for the first time.
Bus-access The PROFIBUS works according to the token-passing procedure, i.e.

procedure the masters become token holders for a defined time window in a
logical ring. Within this time window, the master can communicate with
other masters. Alternatively, it can communicate with slaves by using a
lower-level master-slave procedure.
The PROFIBUS-DP mainly uses the master-slave method and data is

usually exchanged with the drives cyclically.
Data exchange via This enables very rapid data exchange between the higher-level
PROFIBUS systems (e.g. SIMATIC, SIMADYN D, PC/PGs) and the drives. Access
to the drives is always made according to the master-slaves method.
The drives are always the slaves and each slave is clearly defined by its
address.

The cyclical communications functions are determined by the

PROFIBUS-DP basic functions in accordance with EN 50170.
For purposes of parameterization, diagnosis and alarm-handling during

cyclical data exchange with intelligent drives, acyclical extended
communications functions are also used which are defined in
PROFIBUS Guideline No. 2.081 (German) or 2.082 (English).
The following illustration contains an overview of the communications

functions which are enabled with the CBP.

The adaption board with optional board

can be mounted in the electronics box in 1.B2

On the adaption board (MRPD 6SE7090-0XX84-0KA0), only one CBP

can be mounted in slot X 198, i.e. at the BOTTOM.
If the CBP is mounted with adaption board, the LBA (Local Bus Adaptor,
LBA, MRPD 6SE7090-0XX84-4HA0) must first be mounted.
NOTE If only one optional board is used, it must always be inserted in slot
+1.B2 (on the RIGHT) in the electronics box.
If, in addition to the CBP, a technology board (T100 / T300 or T400) is

inserted in the electronics box. it must be inserted in slot +1.B2. In this
case, the CBP is inserted in slot +1.B3.

with bus connector is not live. Because the bus connector obtains its
voltage from the station, the matching resistor has no effect.
Make sure that the stations at which the matching resistor is connected
is always supplied with voltage.
Pulling out the bus You can pull out the bus connector with looped-through bus cable from
connector the PROFIBUS-DP interface at any time without interrupting data

Diagnosis and troubleshooting
NOTE With regard to basic parameterization, please note the differences to

the types of unit with the older function classes FC (CU1), VC (CU2)
and SC (CU3). These differences are described below.
In order to make these differences clear, the parameter numbers and

other deviations are either printed in dark grey or have a dark-grey
background.
Evaluating the possibilities of hardware diagnosis
LED displays The three LED displays are located on the front of the CBP. These are
as follows:
• CBP operating (red)
• Data exchange with the basic unit (yellow)
• Transfer of useful data via the PROFIBUS (green)
Diagnostic LEDs give the user rapid information on the status of the
CBP at any particular instant.
More detailed diagnostic information can be read out directly from the
diagnostics memory of the CBP by means of a diagnostic parameter.
NOTE During normal operation, all three LEDs repeatedly light up at the same
time and for the same length of time (flashing)! If an LED is
continuously on or off, this indicates an exceptional condition
(parameterization phase or fault)!

Effect:
If this error occurs, the heartbeat-counter for the basic

For each fault, the following information is available:
Parameter r947 Fault number
r949 Fault value
r951 Fault list
P952 Number of faults
r782 Fault time
If a fault message is not reset before the electronic supply voltage is
switched off, then the fault message will be present again when the
electronic supply is switched on again. The unit cannot be operated
without resetting the fault message. (Exception: Automatic restart has
been selected, see P373).

Maintenance and Repair
WARNING SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES units are operated at high voltages.

All work carried out on or with the equipment must conform to all the
national electrical codes (VBG 4 in Germany).
Maintenance and service work may only be executed by qualified
personnel.
Only spare parts authorized by the manufacturer may be used.
The prescribed maintenance intervals and also the instructions for
repair and replacement must be complied with.
Hazardous voltages are still present in the drive units up to 5 minutes
after the converter has been powered down due to the DC link
capacitors. Thus, the unit or the DC link terminals must not be worked
on until at least after this delay time.
The power terminals and control terminals can still be at hazardous
voltage levels even when the motor is stationary.
If it is absolutely necessary that the drive converter be worked on when
powered-up:
♦ Never touch any live parts.
♦ Only use the appropriate measuring and test equipment and
protective clothing.
♦ Always stand on an ungrounded, isolated and ESD-compatible pad.
If these warnings are not observed, this can result in death, severe
bodily injury or significant material damage.

capacitors have to be newly formed. If this is not carried out, the unit
can be damaged when the line voltage is powered up.
If the unit was started-up within one year after having been
manufactured, the DC link capacitors do not have to be re-formed. The
date of manufacture of the unit can be read from the serial number.

The following applies for the above example:
Manufacture took place in June 1997.
During forming, the DC link of the unit is connected up via a rectifier, a
smoothing capacitor and a resistor.
As a result, the DC link capacitors receive a defined voltage and a
limited current, and the internal conditions necessary for the function of
the DC link capacitors are restored.

Procedure ♦ Before you form the unit, all mains connections must be
disconnected.
♦ Connect the required components in accordance with the circuit
example.
♦ Energize the forming circuit. The duration of forming depends on the
idle time of the converter.

Encoder Troubleshooting
AC Electrical
Encoder Troubleshooting Instructions
CUVC Card Version
The encoder is used to provide rotational position

information to the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). On the AC
TDS systems, the encoder signal comes into the Varco
Interface Terminal Strip (TB1 Drive on drawing) in the drive.
The +I5VDC for the encoder is provided from the CUVC card
and goes out on terminal 31 (Common) and terminal 32
(+15VDC). The AC Top Drives use a differential input signal
and on the Siemens drive an optional Digital Tach. Interface
board to convert this differential signal (A+,A- and B+,B-) to a
single ended signal (A+ and B+). The (A+) signal comes into
terminal 34, the (A-) signal is 35, the (B+) signal is 37 and the
(B-) signal is 38. This can be verified on the schematics. The
waveforms for the respective signals are shown above.
The symptom of encoder failure is that the drive when
assigned and throttle given will refuse to rotate or rotate very
slowly, with high Torque showing on the Torque meter. You
probably will not see a failure indication on the drive, or it may
trip out due to over-current.
If you suspect the encoder change the drive from speed
control (n) to frequency control (f) by using the encoder by-
pass switch. If the AC TDS starts rotating you have an encoder
problem. If it does not verify that you have performed the
changeover from speed control to frequency control correctly
by viewing the motor data set in the VFD (parameter r011, 1=n
speed control, 2 =f frequency control) and then try again. If it
still does not turn you should look at the inputs to the drive and
not the encoder.
The first check of the encoder should be measurement of
the signals with a voltmeter this should be done with the drive
stopped. There should be approximately 15V between
terminals 31 and 32 (+15DCV and Common) if there is not
disconnect the encoder cable, to see if it is being shortened
out. There should be approximately 15V between pins 34 and
35 (A+ and A-) and between terminals 37 and 38 (B+ and B-) if
there is not and you have a scope check the individual signals
to see which one or ones are missing this will require you to
run the AC TDS in the frequency mode.
If you are missing a signal remember that on the Siemens
drive you can rewire the signals so that they do not pass
through the DTI card to keep running. If (A+) and (B+) are both
good disconnect the (A+) and (B+) signals from the DTI card at
terminals X403 and X402. You can then connect (A+) to (A+)
and (B+) to the (B+) wire straight across, be sure to do the
same with both the (+15VDC) and both the (Common) signals
as well.
If you still can not get the top drive to turn and you have
signals that are 90 degrees from each other (See A+ and B+
above) try reversing the (A+) and (B+) wires.
Encoder Fuse
There is a "fuse" in line with the (+15VDC), if too much
current is drawn the fuse opens. This thermal fuse is self
resetting after it cools. With a short on one of the outputs, the
driver sources too much current “opening” the fuse. When
power is removed the fuse will reset after a short period of
time, and upon application of power the signals will come back.
If it appears that you have no output from the encoder
disconnect the encoder cable then reconnect after a few
minutes.
Cable Testing
A common fault with the encoder is a broken or a shorted
cable in the encoder loop, this can be checked by
disconnecting the encoder cable at the Top Drive end and also
at the Varco control house end, the cables should then be
checked for continuity and also tested between cores for
possible shorts. A common problem is that the Top drive will
fault at the same place in the derrick this is good way of telling
there is a problem with the service loop.
Waveforms
The above picture shows a scoped waveform from a rotating

Top Drive, this is what would be expected to see when looking
at both the (A+) and (B+) signals together with an oscilloscope.
If the Top drive was drilling ahead when checking the signals
you could expect to see the widths of the waveforms constantly
changing, this would be because when the Top Drive
experiences “down-hole Torque”, it would momentarily slow
down (remember that the encoder sends out 1024 pulses per
revolution of both the motor and encoder). What should be
noted from these waveforms is that the small “spikes” at the
edges of the waves are not a problem because the signal is a
digital signal, only when the “spike” was in the middle of the
waveform would there be a possibility that this would be a
problem, but it would be expected that the DTI card would
rectify that problem.
DTI Schematic
EEx Digital Encoder
Varco P/N = 122725
The Eex Digital Encoder used on the AC Top Drive, has a four channel
output (A+,A-,B+,B-) with 90° Displacement at 1024 pulses per
Revolution.

Section 1 - Introduction
SIMOVIS Version – 5, is for use with the Siemens 70 Series Drive, by

using the SIMOVIS PC program, you can UPREAD parameter sets from
the units, store them on the hard disk or on floppy disks and transfer
them back to the units by DOWNLOAD. You have the additional
possibility of editing the parameters off-line and of creating parameter
files especially for your application. These files do not have to contain
the complete parameter scope. They can be limited to parameters,
which are relevant for the particular application. This module is mainly
aimed at the newer Vector Control Card the CUVC, but the same
method is used for Upreading and Downloading parameters to a CU2
card, the communication differences are explained in Section 2.
This section is split into four parts, they are Configuration of Control
Card, UPREAD, View an UPREAD set and DOWNLOAD.
Section 2 – Configuration of Control Card

This part shows how to configure the type of control card that is inserted
in the Siemens 70 Series drive. For this section we are using a CUVC
card, but if the card that was to be configured the
Section 3 – UPREAD a parameter set

This part shows how to UPREAD a complete parameter set from the AC
Drive to a PC.
Section 4 – View an UPREAD parameter set.

The second part of this section shows how to view an upread set of
parameters once it has been upread from the AC Drive and stored to
disk.
Section 5 – DOWNLOAD a parameter set

The third part of this section shows how to DOWNLOAD a complete
parameter set into the AC Drive from a PC and how to check for errors.
3
Section 2 - Configuration of Control Card
To get ONLINE with SIMOVIS, firstly ensure that the cable (RS 232) is inserted into
the PMU and “Com Port 1” on the PC. Details on this cable can be found in the
SIMOVIS “Readme” file.
The Siemens Part Number for the cable is:- 6SX7005-0AB00
Above is the first window that is viewed when SIMOVIS is opened from the Desktop
of your PC. To configure a Drive you click on the “Blue Cross”.
This brings up the “Add a drive” screen, to set up for the CUVC card with software
version 3.1, click on the down arrows at “Drive type” and “SW-version”, and select
the type and version as above, then click on “OK”. For this section we are using a
CUVC card, but if the card that was to be configured was a CU2 card, this would be
selected from the list and would be “MASTERDRIVES VC(CU2).
4
The Drive Type, Software, etc. is then displayed under Bus Address 0, other Drive
types could be configured to different Bus Addresses, this would be done in “Add a
Drive”. To communicate with the Drive, double click on the blue highlighted bar for
the CUVC card.
This then communicates with the Drive and all the present value of the parameters
are displayed down the right hand side of the screen, the top of the screen displaying
“Online (EEPROM) identifies this. The Drive status is also displayed in the bottom
left of the screen, in this case the drive shows a green “OK” which means there is no
faults or alarms on the drive at present, but if there was a fault, it would then display
a red “F” here. If you cannot get ONLINE, check the cable connection or the “Drive
type” and then try again.
5
Section 3 - UPREAD from the AC DRIVE to a PC
To UPREAD all the parameters from the Drive, Select “Upread” then “Base unit all”
from “File”, as shown above.
The program then automatically defaults to save the parameter set to the
“Masterdives VC(CUVC)” folder in SIMOVIS, this can be changed to another folder
on the hard drive (c) or to a floppy disk (a), by clicking on the down arrow next to
“Masterdives VC(CUVC)” and then selecting the required option. It is best when
saving to the hard drive (c), to save to the SIMOVIS default, as it will also
automatically default to this when “DOWNLOAD” is selected. At this stage the
parameter set that is to be Upread from the AC Drive requires a name, for this
example “Test” is to be used, this should be written into the “File name” box. Once
the folder has been chosen and the parameter set has been given a name, click on
“Save” to start Upreading the parameter set.
6
When the “UPREAD” has started, the above dialog box will be displayed, this shows
that SIMOVIS is Upreading the parameters and saving them as “TEST” (top of box),
it also displays the amount of parameters to be upread (in this case 1030), how
many have been upread (in this case 37), how many have been upread successfully
(OK) and how many have not been upread successfully (E). This function can be
aborted by clicking on “Cancel”.
If the upread has been completed successfully, this will be displayed by a dialog box
as above, if there has been a problem, it will show a dialog box with the details of the
problem parameters (this will be shown later in the DOWNLOAD section). To
proceed, click on “OK”.
7
Section 4 - Viewing the UPREAD parameters
To view the Upread parameters, you have to change to the “OFFLINE” mode. To do
this, select “Offline” from the “View”, as shown above.
This will then display either “File New” (factory parameter set), or “File Open” (Open
a previously saved parameter set). Choose and click on “File Open” as above,
because you want to open your previously saved parameter set (TEST).

The “Open parameter set” dialog box then appears; this is asking you what
parameter set you require to open. The above dialog box shows three options,
TDS11S(CUVC), Test or Train CUVC. To open the “Test” parameter set, click on
“Test” as shown above, this is then shown in the “File name” box, finally click on
“Open”, thus opening “Test”.
The parameter set “Test” is then viewed in the Offline mode as shown at the top of
the screen as “offline (Test)” with all the parameters shown down the right hand side
of the screen. The “Drive status” in the bottom left of the screen is now shown as a
blue “O”, to signify that the drive is Offline. Note you do not have to be connected to
the drive to view parameter sets in the Offline mode.

Section 5 - DOWNLOADING from PC to the AC DRIVE
To Download a parameter set from a PC to the Siemens 70 Series Drive, you have
to be Online with the drive, and in the Online Status, this was previously shown in
the Upread part. Once SIMOVIS is successfully Online with the Drive, select
“Download” and then “Save (EEPROM)”, from “File” as shown above. It is best to
save to EEPROM, as the parameters are permanently stored into the Drive.
The “Open parameter set” dialog box appears which again automatically defaults to
“Masterdrives VC (CUVC)”, from this the previously saved program to be
downloaded can be selected. Shown above is “Test” set to be Downloaded, to do
this click on “Test”, this is then shown in the “File name” box, then click on “Open”,
this opens the parameter set to be downloaded, and starts the downloading process.
10
The dialog box “Download” appears as above, this shows at the top of the box, the
parameter set that is being downloaded, in this case “Test”. Also shown is the
number of parameters that are to be Downloaded in this case 829, the number of
parameters that have been downloaded in this case 15 and the number of
parameters that have been successfully Downloaded (OK) or not successfully
downloaded (E). This process can be aborted by clicking on “Cancel”. When the
Download is in process the drive will automatically default to download status 21, this
should be viewed on the PMU.
A dialog box will then be displayed explaining how many parameters have been
written and refused, in the case above from 829 parameters, 828 were written
successfully and 1 was refused, the parameters that were refused can be looked at
by clicking on “Details”. If no parameters were refused only the “OK” box would be
available.
If the “Details” box was selected in the previous dialog box, the “Error” dialog box will
be displayed as above, with the parameters that SIMOVIS was not able to Write to
the drive. In this case only one parameter was refused 368, this would have to be
checked and then manually changed by either the PMU, OP1S or SIMOVIS. Clicking
on “OK” returns you to the Online screen where all the parameters that have been
downloaded can now be viewed.

Section 7 – Examination Answers
1) What type of cable is used to communicate a PC to a Siemens 70 Series drive?
An RS232 cable is used to communicate a PC to a Siemens 70 Series Drive.
2) What two type of Siemens 70 Series Drive control cards has Varco used to
control its AC Top Drives and Pipe Racking Systems?
Varco use either a CU2 or a CUVC card to control the Siemens 70 Series drives
in their equipment.
3) What is the difference between UPREAD and DOWNLOAD when using SIMOVIS
version 5?
UPREAD is used to transfer parameters from the AC drive to a PC,
DOWNLOAD is used to transfer parameters from a PC to the AC drive.
4) What type of files are used to store the parameter sets in SIMOVIS version 5?
The File type that is used to store parameters in SIMOVIS version 5 is
Download files (*.DNL).
5) If the Drive Status is shown as a Blue “O”, what does this mean?
This signifies that the AC drive is OFFLINE from the PC and the parameter set
displayed is from an internal file in the PC and not from the AC drive.
6) If the Drive Status is shown as a Red “F”, what does this mean?
This signifies that the AC drive is ONLINE and communicating with the PC
satisfactory, but there is a fault at present with the AC drive.
7) What is the difference between a “P” type parameter and an “r” type parameter?
A “P” type parameter is an operator changeable parameter that can be
changed to alter the control of the AC drive. An “r” type parameter is a read
only parameter, this can only be viewed to gain information about the AC
drive.
8) Can Parameters be changed in the AC Drive through SIMOVIS when the PC is

connected to the AC Drive?
Yes, parameters can be changed in the AC drive when the PC is connected
and ONLINE, care should be taken NOT to change parameters unnecessarily.
