1 General information
The NORDAC SK 500E is based on the tried and tested Nord platform. These devices feature a compact
design with optimum control characteristics.
These devices are provided with sensorless vector current control system which in combination with
asynchronous three-phase motor types constantly ensures an optimised voltage-to-frequency ratio. This has
the following significance for the drive: Peak start-up and overload torques at constant speed.
This series of devices can be adapted to individual requirements by means of the modular technology boxes.
Due to the numerous setting options, these inverters are capable of controlling all three-phase motors. The
power range is from 0.25kW to 22.0kW with integrated mains filter.
This manual is based on the device software V1.7 R0 (see. P707) of SK 500E. If the frequency inverter used
has a different version, this may lead to some differences. If necessary, you can download the current manual
from the Internet (http://www.nord.com/).
For the SK 51xE/53xE there are additional descriptions for the functional safety (BU 0530) and the positioning
system (BU 0510). These contain all the necessary additional information for start-up.
If a bus system is used for communication, a corresponding description (BU 0020…BU 0090) is provided, or
this can be downloaded from the Internet (http://www.nord.com/).
In the standard version the device has a fixed cooling element, which causes corresponding heat dissipation if
it is installed in a control cabinet. In order to achieve less heat dissipation in the control cabinet or to enable a
smaller size, there are the following possibilities:
ColdPlate-Technology
Instead of a cooling element/fan, ColdPlate versions of the frequency inverter have a flat metal plate on the
rear side which is mounted on an existing mounting plate (e.g. the rear wall of the control cabinet) so as to
provide thermal conduction. The mounting surface can also be provided with a flow of cooling medium (water.
oil), which enables a better heat dissipation than air due to its greater thermal conductivity. Because the heat
dissipation does not take place in the control cabinet, the temperature of the interior remains considerably
lower, which results in a longer life span of the power electronics. The installation depth is also reduced and
the possible failure of the frequency inverter due to clogged air filters is avoided.
External heat sink technology
External heat sink technology is an optional supplement for ColdPlate devices. This is used if an external
cooling system is provided, but no liquid-cooled mounting plate is available. A cooling element is mounted on
the ColdPlate device, which passes through an opening in the rear panel of the control cabinet into the exterior
air-cooled environment. Convection takes place outside of the control cabinet, which results in the same
advantages as with ColdPlate technology.

1.4 Safety and installation information

NORDAC SK 500E frequency inverters are equipment for use in industrial high voltage systems and are
operated at voltages that could lead to severe injuries or death if they are touched.
 Installation and other work may only be carried out by qualified electricians and when the device is
disconnected. The manual must always be available for these persons and must be complied with.
 Local regulations for the installation of electrical equipment as well as for accident prevention must
be complied with.
 The equipment continues to carry hazardous voltages for up to 5 minutes after being switched off
at the mains.
 For single phase operation (230V) the mains impedance must be at least 100H for each
conductor. If this is not the case, a mains choke must be installed.
 For safe isolation from the mains, all poles of the supply cable to the frequency inverter must be
able to be disconnected.
 Even during motor standstill (e.g. caused by a release block, blocked drive or output terminal short
circuit), the line connection terminals, motor terminals and braking resistor terminals may still
conduct hazardous voltages. A motor standstill is not identical to galvanic isolation from the mains.
 Attention, even parts of the control card and, in particular, the connection plug for the removable
technology units can conduct hazardous voltages. The control terminals are mains voltage free.
 Warning, under certain settings the inverter can start automatically after the mains are switched on.
 The frequency inverter is only intended for permanent connection and may not be operated without
effective earthing connections that comply with local regulations for large leak currents (> 3.5mA).
EN50178 / VDE 0160 stipulates the installation of a second earthing conductor or an earthing
conductor cross-section of at least 10 mm2.
 Normal FI-circuit breakers are not suitable as the sole protection in three-phase frequency
inverters when local regulations do not permit a possible DC proportion in the faulty current. The FI
circuit breaker must be an all-mains sensitive FI circuit breaker (type B) as per EN 50178 / VDE
0160.
 In normal use, NORDAC 500E frequency inverters are maintenance free. The cooling surfaces
must be regularly cleaned with compressed air if the ambient air is dusty.
CAUTION
The heat sink and all other metal components can heat up to temperatures above
70°C.
When mounting, sufficient distance from neighbouring components must be
maintained. When working on the components, allow sufficient cooling time beforehand
ATTENTION The power unit can continue to carry voltages for up to 5 minutes after being switched
off at the mains. Inverter terminals, motor cables and motor terminals may carry
voltage!
Touching open or free terminals, cables and equipment components can lead to
severe injury or death!
Work may only be carried out by qualified specialist electricians and with the electrical
DANGER TO LIFE! supply to the equipment disconnected!

 Children and the general public must be kept away from the equipment!
CAUTION
 The equipment may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
Unpermitted modifications and the use of spare parts and additional equipment that
has not be bought from or recommended by the equipment manufacturer can lead to
fire, electric shock and injury.
 Keep these operating instructions in an accessible location and give these to every
operator!
WARNING
This product is covered under marketing classification IEC 61800-3. In a domestic
environment, this product can cause high frequency interference, which may require the
user to take appropriate measures.
An appropriate measure would be the inclusion of a recommended line filter.
1.5 Approvals

2 Assembly and installation
2.1 Installation
NORDAC SK 500E frequency inverters are available in various sizes depending on the output. Attention must
be paid to a suitable position when installing.
The equipment requires sufficient ventilation to protect against overheating. For this the minimum guideline
distances from adjacent components above and below the frequency inverter, which could obstruct the air flow
apply. (above > 100 mm, below > 100 mm)
Distance from device: Mounting can be immediately next to each other. However, for the use of brake
resistances mounted below the device (not possible with …-CP devices), the greater width (Section 2.5) must
be taken into consideration, particularly in combination with temperature switches on the brake resistor!
Installation position The installation position is normally vertical. It must be ensured that the cooling ribs on
the rear of the device are covered with a flat surface to provide good convection.
 100mm
 100mm
Warm air must be vented above the device!
If several inverters are arranged above each other, ensure that the upper air entry temperature limit is not
exceeded. (see also Section 7, Technical Details). If this is the case, it is recommended that an "obstacle" (e.g.
a cable duct) is mounted between the inverters so that the direct air flow (rising warm air) is impeded.
Heat dissipation: If the device is installed in a control cabinet, adequate ventilation must be ensured. The
heat dissipation in operation is approx. 5% (according to the size and equipment of the device) of the rated
power of the frequency inverter.

2.3 Mounting dimensions

2.3.1 SK 500E, standard version
For wall mounting of the SK 500E, two (or four, for size 5 and above) appropriate brackets are supplied. These
are inserted into the cooling element at the rear of the device as shown in the illustration. For this, no further
accessories are needed.
Alternatively, the wall mounting brackets can be inserted at the side of the cooling element in order to minimise
the necessary depth of the control cabinet.
In general, care must be taken that the rear of the cooling element is covered with a flat surface and that the
device is mounted vertically. This enables optimum convection, which ensures fault-free operation.

2.4 External heat sink kit

The SK 500E series with ColdPlate technology (SK 5xxE-…-CP) can be
extended with the external heat sink kit.
In this construction, the heat sink is outside of the control cabinet and
therefore does not need a “suitable cooling surface”. The device is cooled by
the external air.
This results in the following operating modes:

2.5 EMC- Kit

For optimum EMC-compliant wiring, the optional EMC Kit must be used. This includes a screening angle, two
hammer clips and two fixing screws.
The EMC Kit provides the possibility of attaching the screening of the motor cable to a large surface of the
frequency inverter (interference source). If necessary a screened brake resistor cable can be attached with the
two hammer clips.
The screening angle is attached to the two housing screws on the lower edge (below the U-V-W terminals).
The motor cable screening is earthed to a large area of the screening angle by means of the hammer clip.

Notes: The EMC Kit cannot be combined with ...-CP (ColdPlate) devices. Any cable screening must be
earthed to a large area of the mounting surface.
If mounted on the top surface of the frequency inverter (mains connection side), the EMC Kit can
also be used as a strain relief, for example to avoid contact problems with CANbus connections.

2.6 Brake resistor (BR)

During dynamic braking (frequency reduction) of a three phase motor, electrical energy is returned to the
frequency inverter. In order to avoid an overvoltage switch-off of the frequency inverter, an external brake
resistor can be used. With this, the integrated brake chopper (electronic switch) pulses the intermediate circuit
voltage (switching wave approx. 420V/775V(/825V) DC, according to the mains voltage(115V,
230V/400V(/500V)) to the brake resistor. Here the excess energy is converted into heat.
CAUTION
The braking resistance and all other metal components can heat up to temperatures
above 70°C.
When mounting, sufficient distance from neighbouring components must be
maintained. When working on the components, allow sufficient cooling time beforehand
For inverter powers up to 2.2kW a standard bottom-mounted resistor (SK BR4-…IP40) can be used. This can
additionally be equipped with an optional temperature switch (bi-metal, switching point 180°C), in order to
indicate an overload. The fixing material in the side groove is enclosed. The resistor and the temperature
switch are connected by means of flexible stranded conductors. Approval: UL, cUL
Note: Brake resistors cannot be directly mounted below –CP (ColdPlate) devices.
SK BR4-... Size 1 SK BR4-... Size 2
Chassis resistors (SK BR2-…, IP20) are available for frequency inverters from 3kW to 22kW. These must be
mounted in the control cabinet, close to the frequency inverter. There is a temperature switch on the braking
resistor to provide protection against overload. Connection of the resistor and the temperature switch is by
means of screw terminals. Approval: UL, cUL

2.7 Line choke (accessory)

To reduce input side current harmonics, additional 1 2 3 4 5 6
inductivity can be installed into the line supply to the

inverter.
These chokes are specified for a maximum supply
voltage of 230V or 480V at 50/60 Hz. T
The protection class of the chokes is IP00 and they
must therefore be installed in a control cabinet.
For frequency inverters with an output of 45 kW or
more, a line choke is recommended where several
devices are being used, in order to avoid possible
adverse effects of one device on another. In L2 B2
addition, the charging currents (mains voltage
fluctuations) are significantly reduced. L1 B1

2.8 Output choke (accessories)

To reduce interference signals from the motor cable or to
compensate for cable capacitance in long motor 1 2 3 4 5 6
cables, an additional output choke can be installed

into the inverter output.
Take care during installation that the pulse frequency
of the frequency inverter is set to 3-6 kHz
(P504 = 3-6).
T
These chokes are specified for a maximum supply
voltage of 480V at 0-100 Hz.
An output choke should be fitted for cable lengths
over 100m/30m (unshielded/shielded). Further
details can be found in Section 2.10.4 "Motor cable". L2 B2
The protection class of the chokes is IP00 and they

2.9 Wiring guidelines

The frequency inverter has been developed for use in an industrial environment. In this environment, high
levels of electromagnetic interference can influence the frequency inverter. In general, correct installation
ensures safe and problem-free operation. To meet the limit values of the EMC directives, the following
instructions should be complied with.
(1) Ensure that all equipment in the control cabinet is securely earthed using short earthing cables that have
large cross-sections and which are connected to a common earthing point or earthing bar. It is especially
important that every control device connected to the frequency inverters (e.g. an automation device) is
connected, using a short cable with large cross-section, to the same earthing point as the inverter itself.
Flat conductors (e.g. metal clamps are preferable, as they have a lower impedance at high frequencies.
(2) The bonding cable of the motor controlled by the frequency inverter should be connected directly to the
earthing terminal of the associated frequency inverter. The presence of a central earthing bar in the
control cabinet and the grouping together of all bonding conductors to this bar normally ensures safe
operation. (See also Section. 8.3/8.4 EMC)
(3) Where possible, screened cables should be used for control loops. The shielding at the cable end should
be carefully sealed and it must be ensured that the wires are not laid over longer distances without
shielding.
The shields of analog setpoint cables should only be earthed on one side on the frequency inverter.
(4) The control cables should be installed as far as possible from power cables, using separate cable ducts
etc. Where cables cross, an angle of 90° should be ensured as far as possible.
(5) Ensure that the contactors in the cabinet are interference protected, either by RC circuits in the case of
AC contactors or by free-wheeling diodes for DC contactors, for which the interference traps must be
positioned on the contactor coils. Varistors for over-voltage limitation are also effective. This
interference suppression is particularly important when the contactors are controlled by the relay in the
frequency inverter.
(6) Use screened or armoured cable for the load connections (motor cable) and earth the screening/armour
at both ends. If possible, earthing should be made directly to the electrically conducting mounting plate of
the control cabinet or the screening angle of the EMC Kit (Section 2.4).
In addition, an EMC-compliant cabling must be ensured. (see also Section 8.3/8.4 EMC). If required, an
optional output choke can be supplied.
The safety regulations must be complied with under all circumstances when installing the
frequency inverter!
NOTE
The control cables, line cables and motor cables must be laid separately. In no case should they
be laid in the same protective pipes/installation ducts.
The test equipment for high voltage insulations must not be used on cables that are connected to
the frequency inverter.

2.10 Electrical connection
WARNING THESE DEVICES MUST BE EARTHED.

Safe operation of the devices presupposes that qualified personnel mount and operate it in
compliance with the instructions provided in these operating instructions.
In particular, the general and regional mounting and safety regulations for work on high voltage
systems (e.g. VDE) must be complied with as must the regulations concerning professional use of
tools and the use of personal protection equipment.
Dangerous voltages can be present at the motor connection terminals even when the inverter is
switched off. Always use insulated screwdrivers on these terminal fields.
Ensure that the input voltage source is not live before setting up or changing connections to the
unit.
Make sure that the inverter and motor have the correct supply voltage set.

connecting terminals are then easily accessible.
Before connecting the device,

the following must be observed:
1. Ensure that the voltage source provides the correct voltage and
is suitable for the current required (see Section. 7 Technical
data).
2. Ensure that suitable circuit breakers with the specified nominal
current range are installed between the voltage source and the
inverter.
3. Connect the line voltage directly to the line terminals L1-L2/N-L3
and the earth (according to the device).

Frequency Inverter Type Size
Size 1 - 4 Cross-head Pozidrive/Supadrive size: 1
S5 Slot-head 0.6 x 3.5
S6 Slot-head 1.0 x 6.5
NOTE: If synchronising devices or several motors are connected in parallel, the frequency inverter must
be switched over to linear voltage/frequency characteristic curves,  P211 = 0 and P212 = 0.
NOTE: The use of shielded cables is essential in order to maintain the specified radio interference
suppression level. (See also Chapter 8.4 EMC limit value classes)
ATTENTION
This device produces high frequency interference, which may make additional suppression
measures necessary in domestic environments. (Details in Section 8.3/8.4)

2.11.1 Mains supply (X1-PE, L1, L2/N, L3)

No special safety measures are required on the mains input
side of the frequency inverter. It is advisable to use the normal
mains fuses (see technical data) and a main switch or circuit
breaker.
115V devices of 0.25kW to 0.75kW may only be used with a
110…120V (L/N = L1/L2) single phase supply.
230V devices of 0.25kW to 2.2kW may optionally be operated
with single phase 230V (L/N = L1/L2) or three phase (L1/L2/L3)
supplies, however, not with three-phase 400V!
All 400V devices and devices  3kW may only be operated with a three-phase supply (L1/L2/L3). For the exact
specification, please refer to the technical data in Section 7.
Note: The use of this frequency inverter on an IT network is possible after modifications by means of
jumpers. Further details in Section 2.11.9 - 2.11.10.

2.11.2 Multi-function relay (X3 – 1, 2, 3, 4)

The functions of this relay can be set as required using the
parameters P434 to P443. The contacts may only be operated
with a maximum of 230V AC / 24V DC, 2A.
In the default setting, the terminals 1-2 (output 1, P434) can
control a mechanical motor brake. This is then released or
applied at the correct time. To optimise the process, the
appropriate delay times (0.2 – 0.3 sec) should be set in the
parameters P107/P114.
In the default setting, the closed contact on terminals 3-4
(output 2, P441) reports the readiness of the frequency inverter. If there is an error message or the frequency
inverter is without voltage, this contact is open.

The motor cable may have a total length of 100m if this is
a standard cable. If a screened motor cable is used, or if the
cable is laid in a metal conduit which is well earthed, the
total length should not exceed 30m.
For greater lengths of cable, an additional output choke
(accessory) must be used.
Note: Please also observe Section 8.4 EMC limit

value classes.
Note: For multiple motor use the total cable length consists of the sum of the individual cable lengths.

The terminals +B/ -B are intended for the connection of a
suitable braking resistor. A short screened connection should
be selected.
Note: The great production of heat in the braking

resistor must be taken into account.
Note: For devices with 115V mains voltage, no DC

terminal is provided.
Attention: The terminals +B, -DC are suitable for the DC-coupling of several frequency inverters. Never
connect a braking resistor to DC! For further details of DC-coupling, please refer to Section 2.11.8.

of the control voltage, as well as a separate terminal
block for connection to an external low voltage
supply. Switchover between the internal and
external power supply is carried out automatically.
Incorrect connections must be avoided.
Size 1 – 4 SK5x5E devices are not equipped with an internal mains unit. This means that in order to provide
their function, these units must be connected to an external power supply via terminal block X5:44 / X5:40. For

use the safety function, the bridges must be removed.)
(For further details, see the separate instruction BU 0530 “Functional safety”)

2.11.8 DC-coupling (X2 - +B, -DC)
In drive engineering, DC-coupling is advisable if motors act as drivers and generators at the same time in the
system. Here, the energy from the drive which is acting as a generator can be fed back to the drive which is
acting as a motor. The advantages are lower energy consumption and the sparing use of braking resistors.
Note: In the 115V devices (SK 5xx-xxx-112-O, no DC terminal is provided. DC-coupling is therefore not
possible.
NB: For direct current coupling of single-phase devices, care must be taken that the coupling to the
same external conductor is used.

The following points must be taken into account:

(1) Use a connecting cable between the equipment (two devices), which is as short as possible. If different
sizes of frequency inverter are used, the connection in the DC circuit must be made with the maximum
cross-section of the smaller device.
(2) Each device is provided with its own mains supply.
(3) Ensure that the coupling is only made after readiness is reported. Otherwise, there is a danger that all the
frequency inverters will be charged via a single device.

(4) Ensure that the coupling is disconnected as soon as one of the devices is no longer ready for operation.
(5) For a high availability a braking resistor (possibly lower power) must be used. If different sizes of frequency
inverters are used, the braking resistor must be connected to the larger of the two frequency inverters.
(6) If devices with the same rating (identical type) are coupled, and the same mains impedances are in effect
(identical lengths of cable to the mains rail), the frequency inverters may be operated without mains
chokes. Otherwise a mains choke must be installed in the mains cable of each frequency inverter.
2.11.9 Jumper “A” mains input

In order to make the frequency inverter SK 500E suitable for IT networks this jumper must be set to position 0.
Here it must be noted that the specified degree of radio interference suppression changes. Further details can

consult your supplier.
RECOMMENDATION: For high reliability of operation, particularly with long connecting cables, an
incremental rotation encoder for 10-30V supply voltage must be used. An external 24V
or internal 15V (/24V) voltage from the frequency inverter can be used as the voltage
supply. 5V encoders should not be used!
ATTENTION
The rotation of the incremental encoder must correspond to that of the motor.
Therefore, depending on the rotation direction of the encoder to the motor (possibly
reversed), a negative number must be set in parameter P301.

The analog inputs of series SK 500E frequency inverters size S1 to S4 can
only process unipolar setpoints (0 … 10V; 0/4 20mA) with reference to
GROUND.
If a bipolar setpoint (analog difference signal (-10V … + 10V)) is available,
this must be converted to a 0 … 10V signal by means of a setpoint
converter. In this case, the appropriate module is available from NORD.
This module is suitable for snap-on rail-mounting and should be installed
near to the frequency inverter in the control cabinet. For further details,
please refer to the supplementary instructions for the setpoint converter.
Note: Frequency inverters of size S5 and above can process both

unipolar and bipolar setpoints by means of configuration with
DIP switches.

3 Display and operation

In the delivery condition (without technology unit) 2 LEDs (green/red) are visible externally. These indicate the
current status of the device.
The green LED indicates that the mains voltage is present and operational, while a flashing code that
increases in speed shows the degree of overload at the frequency inverter output.
The red LED signals actual error by flashing with a frequency which corresponds to the number code of the
error (Section. 6).
3.1 Modular modules

By combining different modules for display, control and parameterisation, the NORDAC SK 5xxE can be easily
adapted to various requirements.
Alphanumerical display and operating modules can be used for simple start-up. For more complex tasks,
various connections to a PC or an automation system can be selected.
The technology unit (Technology Unit, SK TU3-…) is connected externally to the frequency inverter and is
therefore easy to access and replace at any time.
LED
red/green
WARNING Modules should not be inserted or removed unless the device is free of voltage. The slots may
only be used for the applicable modules.
NOTE:
Installation of a technology unit separate from the frequency inverter is not possible. It must be
connected directly to the frequency inverter.
Further detailed information can be found in the Options manuals.

5. Close the control terminal cover
again.

3.2.1 SimpleBox, SK CSX-0

This option is used as a simple parameterisation, display and control tool for the
frequency inverter SK 5xxE. With this, even in active BUS operation, data can
be read out and parameterisation made especially if the frequency inverter slot
is occupied with a BUS unit.
Features
 4-digit, 7-segment LED display
 Single button operation
 Display of the active parameter set and operating values
After the SimpleBox has been attached, the cable connectors plugged in and
the mains has been switched on, horizontal lines appear in the 4-digit 7-
segment display. This display signals the operational readiness of the frequency
inverter.
If a jog frequency value is pre-set in parameter P113, or a minimum frequency
is pre-set in P104, the display flashes with this value.
If the frequency inverter is enabled, the display changes automatically to the
operating value selected in parameter >Selection Display value< P001 (factory
setting = current frequency).
The actual parameter set is shown by the 2 LEDs next to the display on the left
in binary code.
NOTE
Settings should only be implemented by qualified personnel, strictly in accordance with

the warning and safety information.

3.2.2 ControlBox, SK TU3-CTR

This option is used as a simple parameterisation, display and control tool
for the frequency inverter SK 5xxE.
Features
 4-digit, 7-segment LED display
 Direct control of a frequency inverter
 Display of the active parameter set and operating values
 Storage of a complete inverter data set (P550),

e.g. for transfer of data to other frequency inverters.
After the ControlBox has been attached, the cable connectors plugged in
and the mains has been switched on, horizontal lines appear in the 4-digit 7-segment display. This display
signals the operational readiness of the frequency inverter.
If a creep frequency value is pre-set in parameter P113, or a minimum frequency is pre-set in P104, the
display flashes with this initial value.
If the frequency inverter is enabled, the display changes automatically to the operating value selected in
parameter >Selection Display value< P001 (factory setting = current frequency).
The actual parameter set in use is shown by the 2 LEDs next to the display on the left in binary code.
The digital frequency setpoint is factory set to 0Hz. To check whether the motor is working, a

NOTE: If a changed value is not to be stored, the key can be used to exit the parameter without
storing the change.

Parameterisation with the ControlBox

The frequency inverter can only be controlled via the ControlBox, if it has not previously been enabled via the
control terminals or via a serial interface (P509 = 0 and P510 = 0). In addition, for this the parameter
“PotentiometerBox Function” (P549) must not be set to function {4} “Frequency addition” or function {5}
“Frequency subtraction”.
If the "START" key is pressed, the frequency inverter in the operating display changes (selection P001). The
frequency inverter supplies 0Hz or a higher minimum frequency (P104) or jog frequency (P113) which has
been set.

Parameter set display:

The LEDs indicate the actual operating parameter set in the operating display (P000) and the current
parameter set being parameterised ( P000). There, the display appears in binary form.
The parameter set can also be changed during operation via the parameter P100 (control via ControlBox).
Frequency setpoint:
The current frequency setpoint depends on the setting in the parameters jog frequency (P113) and minimum
frequency (P104). This value can be altered during keyboard operation with the value keys and
permanently stored in P113 as the jog frequency by pressing the ENTER key.
Quick stop:
By simultaneously pressing the STOP key and the "Change direction key” , an quick stop can be
initiated.
Frequency addition:
If the parameter “PotentiometerBox Function” (P549) has been set to function {4}”Frequency addition” or
function {5} “Frequency subtraction”, as of software version 1.7 a setpoint can be added via the Control Box,
even if enabling and other setpoints are provided from another source (control terminals, BUS).
However, after the drive unit has been shut down, this additive setpoint is reset to zero.
By pressing the ENTER key however, the set value is permanently stored in parameter P113 as the jog
frequency, and continues to be available as a setpoint value on re-enabling after shutdown.

Parameterisation with the ControlBox

The parameterisation of the frequency inverter can be performed in the various operating states. All
parameters can always be changed online. Switching to the parameter mode occurs in different ways
depending upon the operating states and the enabling source.
1. If there is no enable (if necessary, press the STOP key ) via the ControlBox, control terminals or a
serial interface, it is still possible to switch to the parameterisation mode directly from the operating
value display with the value keys or . P0__ / P7__
2. If an enable is present via the control terminals or a serial interface and the frequency inverter is
producing an output frequency, it is also possible to switch to the parameterisation mode directly from
the operating value display using the value keys and .  P0__ / P7__
3. If the inverter is enabled via the ControlBox (START key ), the parameterisation mode can be
reached by pressing the START and ENTER keys + simultaneously.
4. Switching back to the control mode is achieved by pressing the START key .

Information from the ParameterBox

After lugging the ParameterBox onto the frequency inverter and switching on the mains for the first time, there
is initially an enquiry as the menu language, German or English.
Then the ParameterBox automatically carried out a “bus scan”, during which the connected frequency
inverters are identified.
In the following display, the type of frequency inverter, its actual operating condition and the current status can
be seen.
After the inverter has been enabled, the display mode changes to the 3 current operate values (frequency,
voltage, current). The operating values displayed can be selected from a list of 19 possible values (in the
>Display< / > Values< menu).
NOTE The digital frequency setpoint is factory set to 0Hz. To check whether the motor is working, a
frequency setpoint must be entered with the or key or a jog frequency via the
respective menu level >Parameterise<, >Base parameters< and the respective parameter
>Jog frequency< (P113)
Settings should only be implemented by qualified personnel, strictly in accordance with the
warning and safety information.
ATTENTION : The motor may start immediately after pressing the START key !

3.2.6 Profibus module, SK TU3-PBR, …-24V

A large number of different automation
devices can exchange data using Profibus.
PLC's, PC's, operating and monitoring
devices can all communicate via a uniform
bus in serial bit mode.
Data exchange is specified in DIN 19245
Part 1 and 2 and application specific
upgrades in Part 3 of this standard. Within
the European field bus standardisation
process, Profibus is integrated into the
European field bus standard pr EN 50170.
The termination resistor for the last bus
participant is located in the Profibus
standard plug.
The module SK TU3-PBR does not require
an external supply voltage, as it is supplied
internally by the frequency inverter. Because of this, bus communication is only possible if the frequency
inverter is connected to the mains, or for devices with an external low voltage supply (SK 5x5E), the 24V
control voltage is available.
The module SK TU3-BPR-24V requires an external 24V supply, and can therefore be operated even if the
frequency inverter is not connected to the mains, or the module is not plugged into the inverter.
Detailed information can be found in the operating instructions BU 0020 or contact the supplier of the
frequency inverter.

With InterBus up to 256 participants with different automation devices
can exchange data. PLC's, PC's, operating and monitoring devices can
all communicate via a uniform bus in serial bit mode.
NORDAC frequency inverters are remote bus participants. The data
width is variable (3 words; 5 words), at a baud rate of 500kBit/s
(optional 2Mbit/s). An additional termination resistor is not necessary as
it is already integrated. Addressing is carried out automatically by
means of the physical arrangement of the participants.
An external 24V supply is required for uninterrupted Bus operation.
Detailed information can be found in the operating instructions BU

3.2.10 SK TU3-AS1, AS interface

The Actuator-Sensor-Interface (AS interface) is a bus system for the simple
field bus level. The transmission principle is a single master system with
cyclical polling. A maximum of 31 slaves (or 62 A/B slaves) can be operated
on an up to 100m long unshielded two-wire cable in any network structure
(tree/line/star).
The AS interface cable (yellow) transmits data and energy while a second
two-wire cable can be used for a small auxiliary voltage (24V). Addressing is
implemented via the master, which can also provide other management
functions, or via a separate addressing device. The 4 bit reference data (per
direction) are cyclically transmitted with an effective error protection at a
maximum cycle time of 5ms. Transmission of larger data volumes is also
possible with some slave profiles (e.g. slave profile 7.4). The bus system is
defined in the AS Interface Complete Specification.
Detailed information can be found in the operating instructions BU 0090, or
contact the supplier of the frequency inverter.

The frequency inverter can be controlled directly from the device using the
PotentiometerBox. No additional external components are required.
The motor can be started, stopped and the direction of rotation changed by
means of the buttons. The LEDs indicate the status of the inverter.
The required setpoint value of the frequency is adjusted with the
potentiometer after it has been enabled (green button).
If an inactive error of the frequency inverter is present (red LED flashing),
this can be acknowledged by pressing the STOP key
Note: The PotentiometerBox must be activated via parameter P549

4 Commissioning
Once the voltage supply has been connected to the frequency inverter, it will be operational after a few
moments. In this state, the frequency inverter can be set to the requirements of the application, i.e. it can be
configured. A completely comprehensive description of all the parameters is set out in Section 5.
The connected motor may only be started after the parameters specific to the application in question have
been set by qualified personnel.
ATTENTION
DANGER TO LIFE!
The frequency inverter is not equipped with a line master switch and is therefore
always live when connected to the power supply. Live voltages may therefore be
connected to a connected motor at standstill.
4.1 Factory settings

All frequency inverters supplied by Getriebebau NORD are pre-programmed with the default setting for
standard applications with 4 pole standard motors (same voltage and power). For use with motors with other
powers or number of poles, the data from the rating plate of the motor must be input into the parameters
P201...P207 under the menu item >Motor data< <.
NOTE: All motor data can be pre-set using the parameter P200. After use of this function has been
successful, this parameter is reset to 0 = no change! The data is loaded automatically into
parameters P201...P209 – and can be compared again with the data on the motor rating plate.

RECOMMENDATION: For the correct operation of the drive unit, it is necessary to input the motor data (rating
plate) as precisely as possible. In particular, an automatic stator resistance
measurement using parameter P220 is recommended.
In order to automatically determine the stator resistance, set P220 = 1 and confirm by
pressing "ENTER". The value calculated for the line resistance (dependent upon
P207) will be saved in P208.

4.3 KTY84-130 Connection (software version 1.7 and above)

The current vector regulation of the SK 500E series can be further optimised by the use of a KTY84-130
temperature sensor (Rth(0°C)=500, Rth(100°C)=1000). In particular there is the advantage that after an
intermediate mains switch-off during operation the temperature of the motor is measured directly and therefore
the actual value is always available to the frequency inverter. With this, the regulator can always achieve an
optimum precision of speed.

4.4 Frequency addition and subtraction via operating boxes

(Software version 1.7 and above)
If the parameter P549 (PotentiometerBox Function) is set to 4 “Frequency addition” or 5 “Frequency

subtraction”, a value can be added or subtracted via the value keys or with the ControlBox or the
ParameterBox.
If the ENTER key is confirmed, the value is saved in P113. The next time the device is started, the value
will be added or subtracted immediately.
As soon as the inverter is enabled, the ControlBox switches to the operating display. With the ParameterBox, a
change of value can only be made in the operating display. If the ControlBox is enabled, parameterisation is no
longer possible. Enabling via the ControlBox or ParameterBox is also no longer possible in this mode, even if
P509 = 0 and P510 = 0.
Note: In order to safely activate the ParameterBox in this mode, the STOP key must be pressed
once.

5 Parameterisation
Every frequency inverter is factory-set for a motor of the same power. All parameters can be adjusted "online".
There are four switchable parameter sets available during operation. As delivered, all parameters are visible;
however, some can be hidden with parameter P003.
NOTE: As there are dependencies between parameters, it is possible for invalid internal data and
operating faults to be generated briefly. Only the inactive or non-critical parameter sets should be
adjusted during operation.
The individual parameters are combined in various parameter sets. The first digit of the parameter number
indicates the assignment to a Menu Group.
Menu group No. Master function
Operating displays (P0--): For the selection of the physical units of the display value.
Basic parameters (P1--): Contain the basic inverter settings, e.g. switch on and switch off
procedures and, along with the motor data, are sufficient for standard
applications.
Motor data (P2--): Settings for the motor-specific data, important for ISD current control,
and selection of characteristic curve during the setting of dynamic
and static boost.
Control parameters (P3--): Settings for the control parameters (current controller, speed
controller etc.) with speed feedback in SK 520E/53xE.
(only with SK 520E/53xE)
Control terminals (P4--): Analog input and output scaling, specification of digital input and
relay output functions, as well as PID controller parameters.
Additional parameters (P5--): Functions dealing with e.g. the interface, pulse frequency or error
acknowledgement.
Positioning (P6--): Adjustment of the positioning function in SK 53xE. Additional

information is contained in the manual BU 0510.
(only with SK 53xE)
Information (P7--): Display of e.g. actual operating values, old error messages,
equipment status reports or software version.
Array parameter: -01 Some parameters in these groups can be programmed and read in
... several levels (arrays). After the parameter is selected, the array level
-xx must also be selected.
NOTE: Parameter P523 can be used to load the factory settings for all parameters at any time. This can
be helpful, e.g. during the commissioning of a frequency inverter whose parameters no longer
correspond with the factory settings.
ATTENTION
All parameter settings will be lost, if P523= 1 is set and confirmed with "ENTER".
To safeguard the actual parameter settings, these can be transferred to the
ControlBox (P550=1) or ParameterBox memories

P102 Acceleration time P
0 ... 320.00 s Acceleration time is the time corresponding to the linear frequency rise from 0Hz to the set
maximum frequency (P105). If an actual setpoint of <100% is being used, the acceleration time is
[ 2.00 ] reduced linearly according to the setpoint set.
The acceleration time can be extended by certain circumstances, e.g. FI overload, setpoint lag,
smoothing, or if the current limit is reached.
P103 Deceleration time P
0 ... 320.00 s Deceleration time is the time corresponding to the linear frequency reduction from the set
maximum frequency (P105) to 0Hz. If a current nominal value <100% is used, the deceleration
[ 2.00 ] time reduces accordingly.
The deceleration time can be extended by certain circumstances, e.g. by the selected >Switch-off
mode< (P108) or >Ramp smoothing< (P106).

Parameter
set
P104 Minimum frequency P
0.0 ... 400.0 Hz The minimum frequency is the frequency supplied by the FI as soon as it is enabled and no
additional setpoint is set.
[ 0.0 ]
In combination with other setpoints (e.g. analog setpoint of fixed frequencies) these are added to
the set minimum frequency.
This frequency is undershot when
a. the drive is accelerated from standstill.
b. the FI is blocked. The frequency then reduces to the absolute minimum (P505) before
it is blocked.
c. the FI is reversing. The reverse in the rotation field takes place at the absolute
minimum frequency (P505).
This frequency can be continuously undershot if, during acceleration or braking, the function
"Maintain frequency" (Function Digital input = 9) is executed.
P105 Maximum frequency P
0.1 ... 400.0 Hz The frequency supplied by the FI after being enabled and once the maximum setpoint is present,
e.g. analog setpoint as per P403, a correspondingly fixed frequency or maximum via the
[ 50.0 ] ControlBox.
This frequency can only be overshot by the slip compensation (P212), the function "Maintain
frequency" (function digital input = 9) or a change to another parameter set with lower maximum
frequency.
P106 Ramp smoothing S P
0 ... 100 % This parameter enables a smoothing of the acceleration and braking ramps. This is necessary for
applications where gentle, but dynamic speed change is important.
[0]
Ramp smoothing is carried out for every setpoint change.
The value to be set is based on the set acceleration and deceleration time, however values <10%

P107 Brake reaction time P
0 ... 2.50 s Electromagnetic brakes have a physically-dependent delayed reaction time when applied. This
can cause a dropping of the load for lifting applications, as the brake only takes over the load after
[ 0.00 ] a delay.
This reaction time can be taken into account under parameter P107 (Braking control).
Within the adjustable application time, the FI supplies the set absolute minimum frequency (P505)
and so prevents movement against the brake and load drop when stopping.
See also the parameter >Release time< P114
NOTE: For the control of electromagnetic braking (especially for lifting operations) an
internal relay should be used, see Function 1, external brake (P434/441). The
minimum absolute frequency (P505) should never be less than 2.0Hz.
NOTE: If a time > 0 is set in P107 or P114, at the moment the FI is switched on, the level
of the excitation current (field current) is checked. If no megnetising current is
present, the FI remains in magnetising mode and the motor brake is not released.
In order to achieve a shut-down and an error message (E016) in this case,
P539 must be set to 2 or 3.

Parameter
set
P108 Disconnection mode S P
0 ... 12 This parameter determines the manner in which the output frequency is reduced after "Blocking"
(controller enable  low).
[1]
0 = Voltage block: The output signal is switched off immediately. The FI no longer supplies
an output frequency. In this case, the motor is braked only by mechanical friction.
Immediately switching the FI on again can lead to an error message.
1 = Ramp: The current output frequency is reduced in proportion to the remaining
deceleration time, from P103/P105.
2 = Ramp with delay: as with ramp, however for generational operation the brake ramp is
extended, or for static operation the output frequency is increased. Under certain
conditions, this function can prevent overload switch off or reduce brake resistance
power dissipation.
NOTE: This function must not be programmed if defined deceleration is required,
e.g. with lifting mechanisms.
3 = Immediate DC braking: The FI switches immediately to the preselected DC current
(P109). This DC current is supplied for the remaining proportion of the >DC brake time<
(P110). Depending on the relationship, actual output frequency to max. quency (P105),
the >DC braking time< is shortened. The time taken for the motor to stop depends on the
application. The time taken to stop depends on the mass inertia of the load and the DC
current set (P109).
With this type of braking, no energy is returned to the FI; heat loss occurs mainly in the
motor rotor.
4 = Constant braking distance: The brake ramp is delayed in starting if the equipment is
not being driven at the maximum output frequency (P105). This results in an
approximately similar braking distance for different frequencies.
NOTE: This function cannot be used as a positioning function. This function should
not be combined with ramp smoothing (P106).
5 = Combined braking: Dependent on the actual link voltage, a high frequency voltage is
switched to the basic frequency (linear characteristic curves only, P211 = 0 and P212 =
0). The deceleration time is retained where possible (P103).  additional motor warming!
6 = Quadratic ramp: The brake ramp does not follow a linear path, but rather a decreasing
quadratic one.
7 = Quadratic ramp with delay: Combination of functions 2 and 6
8 = Quadratic combined braking: Combination of functions 5 and 6
9 = Constant acceleration power: Only applies in field weakening range! The drive is
accelerated or braked using constant electrical power. The course of the ramps depends

P109 DC brake current S P
0 ... 250 % Current setting for the functions of DC current braking (P108 = 3) and combined braking (P108 = 5).
[ 100 ] The correct setting value depends on the mechanical load and the required deceleration time. A
higher setting brings large loads to a standstill more quickly.
The 100% setting relates to a current value as stored in the >Nominal current< parameter P203.
NOTE: The amount of DC current (0Hz) which the FI can supply is limited. For this value,
plese refer to the table in Section 8.5.3, column: 0Hz. In the basic setting this limiting
value is about 110%.
P110 Time DC brake on S P
0.00 ... 60.00 s The time during which the motor has the current selected in parameter >DC brake current<
applied to it during the DC braking functions (P108 = 3).

Depending on the relationship, actual output frequency to max. quency (P105), the >Time DC

The time starts running with the removal of the enable and can be interrupted by fresh enabling.
P111 P factor torque limit S P
25 ... 400 % Directly affects the behaviour of the drive at torque limit. The basic setting of 100% is sufficient for
most drive tasks.
[ 100 ]
If values are too high the drive tends to vibrate as it reaches the torque limit.
If values are too low, the programmed torque limit can be exceeded .
P112 Torque current limit S P
25 ... 400 % / 401 With this parameter, a limit value for the torque generating current can be set. This can prevent
mechanical overloading of the drive. It cannot provide any protection against mechanical
[ 401 ] obstruction (movement to stops). A slipping clutch which acts as a safety device must be
provided.
The torque current limit can also be set over an infinite range of settings using an analog input.
The maximum setpoint (compare adjustment 100%, P403/P408) then corresponds to the value
set in P112.
The limit value 20% of torque current cannot be undershot by a smaller analog setpoint
(P400/405 = 2) (in servo mode with P300 = 1, not below 10%)!
401 = OFF means the switch-off of the torque current limit! This is also the basic setting for the FI.
Note: For lifting gear applications, a torque limit must not be used!
P113 Jog frequency S P

as of software
version 1.7 The setting of the jog frequency can be done directly via this parameter or, if the FI is enabled via
the keyboard, by pressing the ENTER key. In this case, the actual output frequency is set in
parameter P113 and is then available for the next start.
NOTES: Software version V1.7 R0 and higher:
The activation of the jog frequency via one of the digital inputs causes the remote
control to be switched off in case of bus operation. In addition, any setpoint
frequencies present are not taken into account.
Exception: analog setpoint values which are processed via the functions Frequency
addition or Frequency subtraction.
Up to software version V1.6 R1:
Specified setpoints via the control terminals, e.g. jog frequency, fixed frequencies or
analog setpoints, are generally added with the correct sign. The set maximum
frequency (P105) cannot be exceeded, and the minimum frequency (P104) cannot
be undershot.

Parameter
set
P114 Brake ventilation time S P
0 ... 2.50 s Electromagnetic brakes have a delayed reaction time during release, which depends on physical
factors. This can lead to the motor running while the brake is still applied, which will cause the
[ 0.00 ] inverter to switch off with an overcurrent report.
This release time can be taken into account in parameter P114 (Braking control ).
During the adjustable release time, the FI supplies the set absolute minimum frequency (P505)
thus preventing movement against the brake.
See also the parameter >Brake reaction time< P107 (setting example).
NOTE: If the brake ventilation time is set to "0", then P107 is the brake release and

P201 Nominal motor frequency S P

P202 Nominal motor speed S P
150 ... 24000 rpm The nominal motor speed is important for the correct calculation and control of the motor slip and

***
[ ] Has a direct influence on the current control of the FI. Too high a value will lead to a possible
overcurrent; too low a value to a motor torque that is too low.
The parameter P220 can be used for simple measurement. Parameter P208 can be used for
manual setting or as information about the result of an automatic measurement.
NOTE: For optimum functioning of the current vector control, the stator resistance must be
automatically measured by the FI.
P209 No load current S P
0.1 ... 300.0 A This value is always calculated automatically from the motor data if there is a change in the
*** parameter >cos < and the parameter >Nominal current<.
[ ]
NOTE: If the value is to be entered directly, then it must be set as the last motor data. This
is the only way to ensure that the value will not be overwritten.
P210 Static boost S P
0 ... 400 % The static boost affects the current that generates the magnetic field. This is equivalent to the no
load current of the respective motor and is therefore load-independent. The no load current is
[ 100 ] calculated using the motor data. The factory setting of 100% is sufficient for normal applications.

These settings are dependent on the nominal power of the FI or the selection in parameter P200.

Parameter
set
P211 Dynamic boost S P
0 ... 150 % The dynamic boost affects the torque generating current and is therefore a load-dependent
parameter. The factory 100% setting is also sufficient for typical applications.
[ 100 ]
Too high a value can lead to overcurrent in the FI. Under load therefore, the output voltage will be
raised too sharply. Too low a value will lead to insufficient torque.
P212 Slip compensation S P
0 ... 150 % The slip compensation increases the output frequency, dependent on load, to keep the DC
asynchronous motor speed approximately constant.
[ 100 ]
The factory setting of 100% is optimal when using DC asynchronous motors and correct motor
data has been set.
If several motors (different loads or outputs) are operated with one FI, the slip compensation P212
must be set to 0%. This rules out a negative influence. This is equally valid for synchronous
motors that do not have slip due to their design.
P213 ISD control loop gain S P
25 ... 400 % This parameter influences the control dynamics of the FI current vector control (ISD control).
Higher settings make the controller faster, lower settings slower.
[ 100 ]
Dependent on application type, this parameter can be altered, e.g. to avoid unstable operation
P214 Torque precontrol S P
-200 ... 200 % This function allows a value for the expected torque requirement to be set in the controller. This
function can be used in lifting applications for a better load transfer during start-up.

NOTE: Motor torques (with rotation field R) are entered with a positive sign, generator
torques (with rotation field L) are entered with a negative sign. The reverse applies

P217 Oscillation damping S P
0 ... 400 % With the oscillation damping, idling current harmonics can be damped. Parameter 217 is a
measure of the damping power.
[ 10 ]
For oscillation damping the oscillation component is filtered out of the torque current by means of
SW1.6 and above a high pass filter. This is amplified by P217, inverted and switched to the output frequency.
The limit for the value switched is also proportional to P217. The time constant for the high pass
filter depends on P213. For higher values of P213 the time constant is lower.
With a set value of 10% for P217, a maximum of ± 0.045Hz are switched in. At 400% in P217,
this corresponds to ± 1.8Hz
The function is not active in “Servo mode, P300”.
P218 Modulation depth S
50 ... 110 % This setting influences the maximum possible output voltage of the FI in relation to the mains
voltage. Values <100% reduce the voltage to values below that of the mains voltage if this is
[ 100 ] required for motors. Values >100% increase the output voltage to the motor increased the
from SW1.5 and harmonics in the current, which may cause swinging in some motors.
above Normally, 100% should be set.
P219 Automatic magnetizing adjustment S
25 ... 100 % / 101 With this parameter, an automatic adjustment of the magnetizing to the motor load can be made.
P219 is a limiting value, to which the field in the motor can be reduced.
[ 100 ]
As standard, the value is set to 100%, and therefore no reduction is possible. As minimum, 25%
SW1.6 and above can be set.
The reduction of the field is performed with a time constant of approx. 7.5 sec. On increase of
load the field is built up again with a time constant of approx. 300 ms. The reduction of the field is
carried out so that the magnetisation current and the torque current are approximately equal, so
that the motor is operated with “optimum efficiency”. An increase of the field above the setpoint
value is not intended.
This function is intended for applications in which the required torque only changes slowly (e.g.
pumps and fans). Its effect therefore replaces a quadratic curve, as it adapts the voltage to the
load.
NOTE: This must not be used for lifting or applications where a more rapid build-up of the
torque is required, as otherwise there would be overcurrent switch-offs or inversion
of the motor on sudden changes of load, because the missing field would have be
compensated by a disproportionate torque current.
101 = automatic, with the setting P219=101 an automatic magnetisation current controller is
activated. The ISD controller then operates with a subordinate magnetizing
controller, which improves the slippage calculation, especially at higher loads. The
control tomes are considerably faster compared to the Normal ISD control (P219 =
100)

The identification of all parameters takes some time. Do not switch off the mains voltage during
this time. The identification can only be carried out in an “operative” condition. This must be
particularly taken into account in BUS operation.
If unfavourable operating characteristics result, select a suitable motor in P200 or set the

2 = Motor identification: all motor parameters (P202, P203, P206, P208, P209) are

Procedure: a) The identification should be made with the motor cold. Warming up of the motor during
operation is taken into account.
b) The FI must be in an “operative condition” For BUS operation, the Bus must be operating
without error.
c) The motor power may only be one power level greater or 3 power levels lower than the
nominal power of the FI.
d) The motor data should be set according to the rating plate or P200. However, at least the
nominal frequency (P201), the nominal speed (P202), the voltage (P204), the power (P205)
and the motor circuit (P207) should be known.
e) If the identification cannot be concluded successfully, the error message E019 is generated.
See also Section 6, Error messages.
f) Reliable identification can be made with motor cables up 20m in length.
NOTE: After identification of parameters, P220 is again = 0.

Care must be taken that the connection to the motor is not interrupted during the

The functions of the digital inputs are identical to the digital functions of the analog inputs.

(P402) does not lead to undershooting of the programmed minimum frequency (P104).
[0] Therefore does not lead to any rotation direction reversal.
1 = 0 - 10V: If a setpoint smaller than the programmed adjustment 0% (P402) is present, this
can cause a change in direction rotation. This allows rotation direction reversal using a
simple voltage source and potentiometer.
E.g. internal setpoint with rotation direction change: P402 = 5V, P104 = 0Hz,
Potentiometer 0–10V  Rotation direction change at 5V in mid-range setting of the
potentiometer.
During the reversing moment (hysteresis =  P505), the drive stands still when the
minimum frequency (P104) is smaller than the absolute minimum frequency (P505). A
brake that is controlled by the FI will have entered the hysteresis range.
If the minimum frequency (P104) is greater than the absolute minimum frequency (P505),
the drive reverses when the minimum frequency is reached. In the hysteresis range 
P104, the FI supplies the minimum frequency (P104), the brake controlled by the FI is not

Once the setpoint is greater than

will deliver an output signal again.

frequency setpoint, below 0.6V (2.4mA) output switches off.
3 = - 10V – 10V: If a setpoint smaller than the programmed adjustment 0% (P402) is present,
this can cause a change in direction rotation. This allows rotation direction reversal using
a simple voltage source and potentiometer.
E.g. internal setpoint with rotation direction change: P402 = 5V, P104 = 0Hz,
Potentiometer 0–10V  Rotation direction change at 5V in mid-range setting of the

During the reversing moment (hysteresis =  P505), the drive stands still when the
minimum frequency (P104) is smaller than the absolute minimum frequency (P505). A
brake that is controlled by the FI will not have entered the hysteresis range.
If the minimum frequency (P104) is greater than the absolute minimum frequency (P505),
the drive reverses when the minimum frequency is reached. In the hysteresis range

0 ... 52 Analog functions (max. load: 5mA analog, 20mA digital):

[0] An analog voltage (0 ... +10 Volt) can be taken from the control terminals (max. 5mA). Various
functions are available, whereby:
0 Volt analog voltage always corresponds to 0% of the selected value.
10 V always corresponds to the motor nominal values (unless otherwise stated) multiplied by the
P419 standardisation factor, e.g.:
 10Volt  motor nominal value  P419

100%
0 = No function, no output signal at the terminals.

1 = Actual frequency, the analog voltage is proportional to the FI output frequency.
2 = Actual speed, this is the synchronous speed calculated by the FI based on the existing
setpoint. Load-dependent speed fluctuations are not taken into account.
If Servo mode is being used, the measured speed will be output via this function.
3 = Current, the effective value of the output current supplied by the FI.
4 = Torque current, displays the motor load torque calculated by the FI. (100% = P112)
5 = Voltage, the output voltage supplied by the FI.
6 = Link voltage, the DC voltage in the FI. This is not based on the nominal motor data. 10V
Volt, standardised at 100%, is equivalent to 450V DC (230V mains) or 850 Volt DC (480V
mains)!
7 = Value from P542, the analog output can be set using parameter P542 independently of
the actual operating status of the FI For example, with Bus switching (parameter
command) this function can supply an analog value from the FI, which is triggered by the
control unit.
8 = Apparent power: the actual apparent power calculated by the FI.
9 = Effective power: the actual effective power calculated by the FI.
10 = Torque [%]: the current torque calculated by the FI.
11 = Field [%]: the current field in the motor calculated by the FI.
12 = Output frequency ±, the analog voltage is proportional to the output frequency of the FI,
whereby the zero point is shifted to 5V. For rotation to the right, values between 5V and
10V are output, and for rotation to the left values between 5V and 0V.
13 = Motor rotation speed ±, is the synchronic rotation speed calculated by the FI, based on
the current setpoint, where the null point has been shifted to 5V. For rotation to the right,
values between 5V and 10V are output, and for rotation to the left values between 5V
and 0V.
If Servo mode is being used, the measured speed will be output via this function.
14 = Torque [%] ±, is the actual torque calculated by the FI, whereby the zero point is shifted
to 5V. For drive torques, values between 5V and 10V are output, and for generator
torque, values between 5V and 0V.
30 = Setpoint frequency before frequency ramp, displays the frequency produced by any
upstream controllers (ISD, PID, etc.). This is then the setpoint frequency for the power
stage after it has been adjusted by the acceleration or braking ramp (P102, P103).
31 = Value via BUS, the analog output is controlled via a bus system. The process data is
directly transferred (P546, P547, P548).

[ 100 ] Using this parameter an adjustment can be made to the analog output for the selected operating
zone. The maximum analog output (10V) corresponds to the standardisation value of the
appropriate selection.
If therefore, at a constant working point, this parameter is raised from 100% to 200%, the analog
output voltage is halved. 10 Volt output signal then corresponds to twice the nominal value.
For negative values the logic is reversed. A setpoint value of 0% will then produce 10V at the
output and -100% will produce 0V.
Digital functions P418 (= 15 ... 28, 34...52)
The switching threshold can be set using this parameter for the functions Current limit (= 17),
Torque current limit (= 18) and Frequency limit (= 19). A value of 100% refers to the
corresponding motor nominal value (see also P435).
With a negative value, the output function is output negated (0/1  1/0).

0 ... 1 In the standard setting (P428 = 0  Off) the inverter requires a flank for enable (signal change
from "low  high") at the applicable digital input.
[0]
In the setting On  1 the FI reacts to a high level. This function is only possible if the FI is
controlled using the digital inputs. (see P509=0/1)
In certain cases, the FI must start up directly when the mains are switched on. This means that
P428 = 1  On can be set. If the enable signal is permanently switched on, or equipped with a
cable jumper, the FI starts up immediately.
P429 Fixed frequency 1 P
-400 ... 400 Hz Following actuation via a digital input and enabling of the FI (right or left), the fixed frequency is
used as a setpoint. A negative setting value will cause a direction change (based on the Enable
[0] rotation direction P420 – P425, P470).
If several fixed frequencies are actuated at the same time, then the individual values are added
with the correct sign. This also applies to combinations with the jog frequency (P113), analog
setpoint (if P400 = 1) or minimum frequency (P104).
The frequency limits (P104 = fmin, P105 = fmax) cannot be over or undershot.
If none of the digital inputs are programmed for enable (right or left), the simple fixed frequency
signal leads to an enable. A positive fixed frequency corresponds to a right enable, a negative to
a left enable.

NOTE: The radio interference suppression limiting curve A1 according to EN55011 is
complied with at a setting of 6.0kHz on condition that the wiring guidelines are
complied with. For further details, see Section 8.4. EMC limit value classes.
NOTE: Raising the pulse frequency leads to a reduction of the possible output current,
depending on the time (I2t curve). For further details, see Section 8.5. Power de-

P505 Absolute minimum frequency S P
0.0 ... 10.0 Hz Gives the frequency value that cannot be undershot by the FI. If the setpoint becomes smaller

At the absolute minimum frequency, braking control (P434 or P441) and the setpoint delay (P107)
are actuated. If a setting value of "Zero" is selected, the brake relay does not switch during
reversing.
When controlling lift equipment, this value should be set at a minimum of 2Hz. From 2Hz, the
current control of the FI operates and a connected motor can supply sufficient torque.

P536 Current limit S
0.1 ... 2.0 / 2.1 The inverter output current is limited to the set value. If this limit value is reached, the inverter

Multiplier with the inverter nominal current, gives the limit value
[ 1.5 ]
2.1 = OFF, OFF represents the disabling of this limit value.
P537 Pulse switch-off S
10 ... 200 % / 201 This function prevents rapid shutdown of the FI according to the load. With the pulse switch-off
enabled, the output current is limited to the set value. This limitation is implemented by brief
[ 150 ] switching off of individual output stage transistors, the actual output frequency remains
unchanged.
10...200% = Limit value related to the nominal FI current
201 = Function is disabled
NOTE: The value set here can be undershot by a smaller value in P536.
For smaller output frequencies (<4.5Hz) or higher pulse frequencies (>6kHz or
8kHz, P504) the pulse switch-off by the power reduction (see Section 8.5) can be
undershot.
NOTE: If the pulse switch-off is disabled (P537=201) and a high pulse frequency is
selected in parameter P504, the FI automatically reduces the pulse frequency
when the power limit is reached. If the load on the FI is again reduced, the pulse
frequency increases to the original value again.
P538 Mains voltage monitoring S
0 ... 4 For safe operation of the inverter the power supply must meet a certain quality. If there is a brief
interruption of a phase or the voltage supply sinks below a particular limit value, the inverter will
[3] output an error.
Under certain operating conditions, it may be necessary to suppress this error message. In this
case, the input monitoring can be adjusted.
0 = Disabled: No monitoring of the supply voltage.
1 = Only phase errors: only phase errors will produce an error message.
2 = Only low voltage: only low voltage will produce an error message.
3 = Phase error and low voltage: Phase errors and low voltage generate error messages.
4 = DC supply: The input voltage is fixed at 480V for the direct supply of direct current.
Phase error and low mains voltage monitoring are deactivated.
NOTE: Operation with an impermissible mains voltage can destroy the frequency inverter!
With 1/3~230V or 1~115V devices, the phase error monitoring does not function!
P539 Output monitoring S P
0 ... 3 This protective function monitors the output current at the U-V-W terminals and checks for
plausibility. In cases of error, the error message E016 is output.
[0]
0 = Disabled: Monitoring is not active.
1 = Motor phase error only: The output current is measured and checked for symmetry. If
an imbalance is present, the FI switches off and outputs the error message E016.
2 = Excitation monitoring only: At the moment the FI is switched on, the level of the
excitation current (field current) is checked. If insufficient excitation current is present, the
FI switches off with the error message E016. A motor brake is not released in this phase.
3 = Motor phase and excitation monitoring: as 1 and 2 combined
NOTE: This function can be used as an additional protective function for lifting applications,
but is not permissible on its own as protection for persons.

Depressing the button for a long time starts the drive, pressing briefly stops it. The speed of
rotation can be controlled in the positive and negative range by means of the rotating knob.
Control of the FI with the SimpleBox is not possible in combination with the ParameterBox SK

variant, no data is lost. It is continuously exchangeable.
NOTE: If parameterisation from old FI's need to be loaded into FIs with new software (P707),
then the ControlBox must previously be written to by the new FI (P550 = 1). The
dataset to be copied from the old FI can then be read out and copied to the new FI.

Parameter

P554 Min. chopper trigger point S
65 ... 100 % The switching threshold of the brake chopper can be influenced with this parameter. An optimised
value for numerous applications is set in the factory setting. This parameter can be increased for
[ 65 ] applications where pulsating energy is returned (crank drives) to minimise brake resistance power
dissipation.
An increase in this setting leads to a faster overvoltage FI switch off.
P555 Chopper power limit S
5 ... 100 % With this parameter it is possible to program a manual (peak) power limit for the brake resistor.
The switch-on delay (modulation level) for the chopper can only rise to a certain maximum
[ 100 ] specified limit. Once this value has been reached, irrespective of the level of the link voltage, the
inverter switches off the current to the resistor.
The result would be an overvoltage switch-off of the FI.

For time critical applications, the magnetizing time can be set or deactivated.
0= disabled
1 = automatic calculation
2 ... 500 = Time set in [ms]
NOTE: Setting values that are too low can reduce the dynamics and starting torque.
P559 DC run-on time S P
0.00 ... 30.00 s Following a stop signal and the braking ramp, a direct current is briefly applied to the motor to fully
bring the drive to a stop. Depending on the inertia, the time for which the current is applied can be
[ 0.50 ] set in this parameter.
The current level depends on the previous braking procedure (current vector control) or the static
boost (linear characteristic).
P560 Save on EEPROM S
0 ... 1 0 = Changes to the parameter settings are no longer saved on the EEPROM. All previously
saved settings are retained, even if the FI is disconnected from the mains.

1 = All parameter changes are automatically written to the EEPROM and remain stored there
even if the FI is disconnected from the mains supply.

6 Error messages
Errors cause the frequency inverters to switch off, in order to prevent a device fault.
The following options are available to reset an error (acknowledge):
1. Switching the mains off and on again,
2. By an appropriately programmed digital input (P420 ... P425 / P470 = Function 12),
3. By switching of the “enable” on the frequency inverter (if no digital input is programmed for
acknowledgement),
4. By Bus acknowledgement or
5. by P506, automatic error acknowledgement.
Device LEDs: In the delivery condition (without technology unit) 2 LEDs (green/red) are visible externally.
These indicate the current status of the device.
The green LED indicates that the mains voltage is present and operational, while a flashing
code that increases in speed shows the degree of overload at the frequency inverter output.
The red LED signals actual error by flashing with a frequency which corresponds to the
number code of the error (Section. 6.2).
6.1 SimpleBox / ControlBox display

The SimpleBox or ControlBox display an error with its number and the prefix "E". In addition, the actual error
is displayed in parameter P700. The last error messages are stored in parameter P701. Further information on
inverter status when errors occur can be found in parameters P702 to P706 / P799.
If the cause of the error is no longer present, the error display in the SimpleBox/ControlBox flashes and the
error can be acknowledged with the Enter key.

7.6 General conditions for ColdPlate technology

The standard frequency inverter is supplied with a smooth flat mounting surface
instead of a heat sink. This means that the FI must be cooled via the mounting
surface, but has a low installation depth.
For all devices there is no fan.
In the selection of a suitable cooling system (e.g. liquid-cooled mounting plate)
the thermal resistance Rth and the heat to be dissipated from the PV modulus of
the frequency inverter must be taken into account. For example, the supplier of
the appropriate control cabinet system can provide details for the correct
selection of the mounting plate.
The mounting plate has been correctly selected if its Rth value is less than the
values stated below.
NOTE: Before the device is fitted to the mounting plate, any protective film
must be removed. A suitable heat-conducting paste must be used.

SK 5xxE-751-340-A-CP 134.95 0.16
The following points must be complied with to ensure the Rth:

 The maximum heat sink temperature (Tkk) of 80°C and the maximum internal temperature of the control
cabinet (Tamb) of 40°C must not be exceeded.
 The ColdPlate and the mounting plate must lie flat against each other (max.air gap 0.05mm).
 The contact area of the mounting plate must be at least as large as the area of the ColdPlate
 A suitable heat conducting paste must be applied between the ColdPlate and the mounting plate.
The heat conducting paste is not included in the scope of delivery! First remove any protective film.
 All screw connections must be tightened.
 When designing a cooling system the heat to be dissipated by the ColdPlate device, Pv-modulus must be
taken into account. For the design of the control cabinet the heat production of the device of approx 5% of
the nominal power must be taken into consideration.
In case of any further queries, please contact Getriebebau NORD.

The process controller is a PI controller which can be used to limit the controller output. In addition, the output
is scaled as a percentage of a master setpoint. This provides the option of controlling any downstream drives
with the master setpoint and readjusting using the PI controller.

8.3 Electromagnetic compatibility Abbreviation: EMC)
All electrical equipment that have an intrinsic, independent function and are placed on the market as individual
units for users from January 1996 must comply with the EEC directive EEC/89/336EEC . There are three
different ways for manufacturers to display compliance with this directive:
1. EC declaration of conformity
This is a declaration from the manufacturer stating that the requirements in the applicable European standards for the
electrical environment of the equipment have been met. Only those standards which are published in the Official
Journal of the European Community can be cited in the manufacturer’s declaration.
2. Technical documentation
Technical documentation can be produced which describes the EMC characteristics of the device. This documentation
must be authorised by one of the “Responsible bodies” named by the responsible European government. This makes it
possible to use standards that are still under preparation.
3. EC type test certificate (This method only applies to radio transmitter equipment.)
SK 500E frequency inverters only have an intrinsic function when they are connected to other equipment (e.g. with a
motor). The base units cannot therefore carry the CE mark that would confirm compliance with the EMC directive.
Precise details are therefore given below about the EMC behaviour of this product, based on the proviso that it is
installed according to the guidelines and instructions described in this documentation.
Class A, Group 2: General, for industrial environments

Complies with the EMC standard for power drives EN 61800-3, for use in secondary environments (industrial) and
if not generally available.
Class A, Group 1: Interference suppressed, for industrial environments

In this operating class, the manufacturer can certify that his equipment meets the requirements of the EMC directive for
industrial environments with respect to their EMC behaviour in power drives. The limit values correspond to the basic
standards EN 61000--62 and EN 61000-6-4 for interference immunity and interference emissions in industrial
environments.
Class B, Group 1: Interference suppressed for domestic, commercial and light industry environments
In this operating class, the manufacturer can certify that his equipment meets the requirements of the EMC directive for
domestic, commercial and light industry environments with respect to their EMC behaviour in power drives. The limit
values correspond to the basic standards EN 61000--62 and EN 61000-6-4 for interference immunity and interference
emissions.
ATTENTION
NORDAC SK 500E Frequency inverters are intended exclusively for commercial use.
They are therefore not subject to the requirements of the standard EN 61000-3-2 for
radiation of harmonics.
This device produces high frequency interference, which may make additional
suppression measures necessary in domestic environments. (Details in Section 8.4)
8.4 EMC limit value classes

Please note that these limit value classes are only reached if the standard pulse frequency (6kHz) is being
used and the length of the shielded motor cable does not exceed the permissible limits.
In addition, it is essential to use wiring suitable for EMC. The motor cable shielding must be applied on both
sides (frequency inverter shield angle and the metal motor terminal box).

8.5 Reduced output power

The SK 5xxE frequency inverter series is designed for certain overload situations. For example, 1.5x
overcurrent can be used for 60 sec. For approx. 3.5 sec a 2x overcurrent is possible. A reduction of the
overload capacity or its time must be taken into account in the following circumstances:
o Output frequencies < 2Hz and constant voltages (needle stationary)
o Pulse frequencies greater than the nominal pulse frequency (P504)
o Increased mains voltage > 400V
o Increased heat sink temperature
On the basis of the following characteristic curves, the particular current / power limitation can be read off.
8.5.1 Increased heat dissipation due to pulse frequency

This illustration shows how the output current must be reduced, depending on the pulse frequency for 230V
and 400V devices, in order to avoid excessive heat dissipation in the frequency inverter.
For 400V devices, the reduction begins at a pulse frequency above 6kHz. For 230V devices, the reduction
begins at a pulse frequency above 8kHz.
Even with increased pulse frequencies the frequency inverter is capable of supplying its maximum peak
current, however only for a reduced period of time. The diagram shows the possible current load capacity for
continuous operation.

8.5.2 Reduced overcurrent due to time

The possible overload capacity changes depending on the duration of an overload. Several values are cited in
this table. If one of these limiting values is reached, the frequency inverter must have sufficient time (with low
utilisation or without load) in order to regenerate itself.

8.5.3 Reduced overcurrent due to output frequency

To protect the power unit at low output frequencies (<4.5Hz) a monitoring system is provided, with which the
temperature of the IGBTs (integrated gate bipolar transistor) due to high current is determined. In order to
prevent current being taken off above the limit shown in the diagram, a pulse switch-off (P537) with a variable
limit is introduced. At a standstill, with 6kHz pulse frequency, current above 1.1x the nominal current cannot be
taken off.

The upper limiting values for the various pulse frequencies can be obtained from the following tables. In all
cases, the value (0.1…1.9) which can be set in parameter P537, is limited to the value stated in the tables
according to the pulse frequency. Values below the limit can be set as required.

8.5.4 Reduced output current due to mains voltage

The devices are designed with thermal characteristics according to the nominal output currents. Accordingly,
for lower mains voltages, higher currents cannot be taken off in order to maintain the stated power constant.
For mains voltages above 400v there is a reduction of the permissible continuous output current, which is
inversely proportional to the mains voltage, in order to compensate for the increased switching losses.

8.5.5 Reduced output current due to the heat sink temperature

The temperature of the heat sink in included in the calculation of the reduction of output current, so that at low
heat sink temperatures, a higher load capacity can be permitted, especially for higher pulse frequencies. At
high heat sink temperatures, the reduction is increased correspondingly. The ambient temperature and the
ventilation conditions for the device can therefore be optimally exploited.
8.6 Operation with FI circuit breakers

SK 500E frequency inverters are designed for operation with a 30mA all-current sensitive FI circuit breaker. If
several frequency inverters are operated on a single FI circuit breaker, the leakage currents to earth must be
reduced. Further details can be found in Section 2.11.9 - 2.11.10.

8.7 Maintenance and servicing information

In normal use, NORDAC 500E frequency inverters are maintenance free. Please note the "general data" in
Section 7.1.
If the frequency converter is being used in a dusty environment, then the cooling-vane surfaces should be
regularly cleaned with compressed air. If air intake filters have been built into the control cabinet, then these
should also be regularly cleaned or replaced.
If you contact our technical support, please have the precise device type (rating plate/display), accessories
and/or options, the software version used (P707) and the series number (rating plate) at hand.
