Chapter 1 Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The 514C controller is intended for use in an Industrial Environment, it should be mounted
within an enclosure which provides protection to the controller and the user.
The controller should be permanently earthed at the terminals provided.
The 514C controller is designed to control the speed of a DC Shunt wound or permanent
magnet motor. It will provide control of the motor speed in all 4 Quadrants of operation.
The controllers are designed to operate from a single phase AC mains supply in the range of
110 Vac to 415 Vac at 50 or 60 Hz. An auxiliary supply is required for internal power supply
generation and main supply contactor sequencing. Coding is derived from the main power
terminals and is functional over the whole input voltage range.
The Speed of the DC Motor is controlled using a linear closed loop system with a feedback
signal from either tachogenerator or armature voltage, the feedback source being switch
selectable.
A current loop within the speed loop always ensures that controlled levels of current are
applied to the motor, actual levels being scaleable via programmable switches.
Motor protection is provided by a Stall detection circuit which will remove current from the
motor after approximately 60 seconds.
Controller protection is provided by a Instantaneous Overcurrent trip circuit overriding
control in the event of a Short Circuit.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Although the controller is designed to provide double or reinforced insulation between the
user and bare live parts, it is recommended that the “0v/Signal Ground” is earthed. Where
a number of controllers are used in a system the “0v/Signal Ground” terminals should be
grounded together and earthed at one point.
2) The controller is designed for armature current form factor of 1.5 or less. It is
recommended that a armature choke be fitted where a form factor of less than 1.5 current
cannot be guaranteed.
3) Due to the earth leakage currents the controller and filter should be permanently earthed.
This can be achieved by either connecting two earthing conductors of the required value,
see table 3.1, or connecting one earthing conductor of at least 10mm2.
4) Unused Analogue Inputs should be “grounded” (i.e., connected to 0V/Signal Ground) to
eliminate interference.
WIRING
1) Control cabling 0.75sq.mm minimum.
Auxiliary supply cable 1.5mm2
Field cable 1.5mm2
2) Power cable to be minimum 600VAC rated at 1.5 x armature current.
3) High speed semi-conductor fuses of the correct rating are recommended for incoming
supply protection. The 514C is not internally fused.
4) Ensure a protective earth connection is made compatible with the rating.
5) Isolated control wiring should not be run close to the power cabling. If screened cables
are used (recommended on setpoints and tachogenerators) connect screens to earth only at
controller end.
6) SSD Drives can supply fuse assemblies which can be bulkhead mounted and also act as
convenient supply isolators.

Preliminary Precautions
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT POWER:-
CONTROLLER
Check:-
1. The Auxiliary Supply Voltage is correctly selected on the Power Board.
2. The Main Power Supply Voltage is within the operating range of the controller.
3. The Armature Voltage and current ratings are compatible with controller supplied.
4. The Field Voltage and current ratings are suitable.
5. All external wiring circuits are correct, i.e:- a) Auxiliary connections
b) Power connections
c) Control connections
d) Motor connections
NOTE: Completely disconnect the controller before point to point checking with a buzzer or
when checking insulation with a megger.
6. For damage to equipment.
7. For loose ends, clippings, drilling swarf etc., lodged in the drive or ancillary equipment.
MOTOR
1. Inspect the motor, in particular the commutator for any extraneous matter. If an air supply is
available, it is recommended to blow over the commutator.
Check the brushes are properly seated and that the brush spring tension is adequate.
If possible check that the motor (and vent fan if fitted) can be turned freely by hand.
Preparation
MACHINE
Check:-
1. That rotation of the motor in either direction will not cause damage.
2. That nobody else is working on another part of the equipment that will be affected by
powering up.
3. That other equipment will not be adversely affected by powering up.
CONTROLLER
1. Prevent application of the main power supply by removal of the supply fuses.
2. Disconnect the load from the motor shaft if possible.
3. If there is any doubt as to the integrity of a particular installation, insert a high wattage
resistor (i.e. fire bar elements) in series with the motor armature.
4. If it is possible to rotate the motor, and tachogenerator feedback is in use, check that forward
rotation results in positive tacho feedback, i.e. terminal 1 is positive with respect to terminal 8
or 11.
4. Check that a speed demand signal is available. This will normally appear as an input to the
Setpoint Ramp on terminal T13 (diagnostic test point 11).
Additional setpoint inputs may also appear at:
Positive trim, terminal T10 (diagnostic 12)
Negative trim, terminal T17 (diagnostic 13)
Note: The sum of the setpoint voltages appears at terminal T12 (diagnostic 15) as the Total
Setpoint voltage.
5. Check the polarity of the tachogenerator signal, if used, by rotating the motor shaft manually in
the “forward” direction (i.e., the direction which should correspond to a positive setpoint at
T13):
The voltage at terminal T1 (or T3) should go positive.
If armature voltage feedback is being used the polarity of the feedback signal is inherently
correct. It is however important to ensure that the speed scaling has been set correctly even in
armature voltage feedback mode.
6. Apply the ‘RUN’ signal to T5 and maintain.
The main supply contactor (L1 and L2) should close.
Remove the ‘RUN’ signal.
The main supply contactor should open. If not disconnect all power supplies and check the
run circuit and contactor wiring.
Note: The main contactor should NEVER be operated by any means other than the drive
internal contactor control circuit as shown in the basic wiring diagram.
7. Turn off all power supplies to the equipment and when the whole system is totally isolated
and safe, re-connect the Main L1 and L2 supply.
8. Turn on Auxiliary single phase supply.
9. Turn on Main L1 and L2 supply.
10. Turn the Speed Setpoints to zero so that the Total Setpoint voltage is zero (terminal T12,
Diagnostic 15).
11. Check that the Main Current Limit preset (P5) is turned to zero (fully anti-clockwise).
12. Initiate “Drive Run” and immediately check that the correct field voltage appears between
terminals F+ and F-. Note that this will be high voltage dc, so proceed with extreme caution.
Do not continue if this is not correct, but switch off all supplies and check Field Voltage is
compatible with supply.
Check that the motor ventilation fan, if fitted, is rotating in the correct direction. Check the
direction visually as the fan starts since a centrifugal fan may produce considerable air flow
even when rotating in the wrong direction.
13. Check that LED 4 PLL Lock is illuminated. Refer to the Diagnostic section for explanation
of the LED functions.
14. Check that the Standstill Logic is switched OFF (SW1/7).
NOTE:-
a) During the following stages (15 and 16) be ready to stop the drive immediately should
the motor overspeed.
514C Product Manual
Setting up & Commissioning 4-6
b) Before altering any connections make sure that all Auxiliary and Main power supplies
are totally isolated from the drive and equipment and that the motor is stationary.
15. Adjust the Speed Setpoint so that the Total Setpoint voltage is about 0.5 Volts (terminal T12,
Diagnostic 15).
Note:- If the Ramped Speed Setpoint is being used with default ramp settings the total
setpoint will take time to change.
Slowly increase the Main Current Limit setting (P5) up to about 20% FLC (i.e., not more that 1
volt at Diagnostic test position 24). Since the Total Setpoint is set to 0.5v the motor speed should
increase to only 5% of full speed. If this speed is exceeded, than the tacho polarity is wrong or
tacho scaling is incorrect, quickly turn the Main Current Limited (P5) to zero (anti-clockwise).
Initiate Stop and de-energise the controller.
If overspeeding occurred while using a tachogenerator for speed feedback correct wiring as follows:
Problem Action
a) Direction correct but overspeeding: Reverse tacho polarity only
b) Direction incorrect and overspeeding: Reverse field polarity only
When armature voltage feedback is used for speed feedback it is direction insensitive and
overspeeding due to incorrect feedback cannot occur, excess speed is probably due to
incorrect feedback scaling, check setting of switches SW1 and SW2.
If the motor runs under control but in the wrong direction correct as follows either:-
a) Armature Control Reverse Field polarity
b) Tachogenerator Control Reverse Field and Tachogenerator Polarity
16. When the Main Current Limited (P5) set to about 20% FLC slowly increase the Total
Setpoint voltage to +1 volt (terminal T12, Diagnostic 15). The motor should now run at about
10% Full Speed.
Note: When correctly connected and operating normally at constant speed the Speed Feedback
voltage (Diagnostic 16) will be equal to the Total Setpoint voltage (Diagnostic 15) but is of the
opposite polarity. Under these conditions the Speed Error voltage (Diagnostic 17) will be zero.
If this condition cannot be achieved, the system is probably in current limit (this is likely at this
stage if the output load is coupled to the motor shaft). Increase the setting of the Main Current
Limit (P5) slowly until the motor accelerates to set speed and the Speed Error signal falls to
zero.
17. Adjust the Total Setpoint voltage to about -1v and check that the motor runs in control in the
reverse direction.
18. Set the Speed Setpoint to zero and adjust the Speed Zero preset potentiometer (P11) for
minimum shaft creep. (Alternatively the Speed Zero potentiometer may be used to adjust the
balance of maximum speed in forward and reverse directions).
19. Gradually increase the Speed Setpoint to maximum and check that the shaft speed is
nominally correct. Adjust P10 to desired speed. Check that the armature voltage does not
exceed rated value.
Note: If the load is connected to the motor it may be necessary to increase the Main Current
Limit control (P5) setting to achieve full speed.
20. Reverse the Speed Setpoint and check the maximum reverse speed.
21. Set the Main Current Limit (P5) to maximum. If in doubt monitor Diagnostic 24 and set to 5v
i.e., 100% current.
GENERAL
If the controller is operating in tachogenerator mode the IR compensation potentiometer (P8)
must be anti-clockwise.
The Proportional and Integral potentiometers (P3, P4, P6 P7) as preset by SSD Drives will
provide stable and responsive performance under most load conditions. Thus if instability is
observed it is important to first check the load and coupling:
If there is a cyclic variation of the armature current check the mechanical couplings to the
load - this is a common cause of apparent instability in either the speed or motor current. If
speed instability is present check whether the repetition rate of the instability is related to the
mechanical revolution of the load - if it is then the instability frequency will vary with speed.
This form of instability may be reduced by adjustment of the drive presets, but total
elimination of the problem may require improvement of the load characteristics.
Instability due to incorrect setting of the drive control parameters can occur and is
recognisable because its frequency will be independent of the motor speed. If this form of
instability is present, or if the application demands that the drive is trimmed for optimum
response, then the stability controls may be adjusted as follows. Note that while the speed
stability and response may be improved without the use of a Diagnostic Unit or Oscilloscope
it is difficult to optimise the current response without such instrumentation. Consequently,
the following procedure assumes that both instruments are available.
5. When the Current Loop response adjustment is completed, switch off the drive and disconnect
all supplies.
Reconnect the field wires to terminals F+ and F- ensuring that they are replaced in their
original positions i.e., with correct polarity. Remove any mechanical devices previously used
to lock the motor shaft.
Speed Loop Adjustment (P3 and P4)
1. If the Speed Setpoint is applied via the setpoint ramp turn P1 and P2 fully clockwise
minimum ramp time. Set the Speed Setpoint to zero. Switch the Diagnostic Unit to position
16 so that the Oscilloscope displays the scaled Tacho Feedback signal (± 2.7v = ± 100%).
2. Reconnect the supplies switch on and
(a) Under Damped

change (about 20%) to the Speed X%
Setpoint input and observe the speed (c) Critically Damped
response. If necessary adjust the Speed SPEED
FEEDBACK (b) Over Damped
