Alarm code running single phase motor with 3-phase output BFI

​It is not possible to disconnect the 3-phase output current balance protection. Meaning it is not possible to run a single phase motor from a Drive with 3*400VAC or 3*230VAC power supply. The alarm Out-PH can not be disconnected.

Solution is to use a BFI-E3 single phase input and single phase output. It a special hardware version of BFI-E3.  

24 VAC connected to terminal 1 will damaged the drive

If 24 VAC is connected to the internal 24 VDC power supply on terminal 1 the drive will damaged.

Contact Beijer Electronics for repair and service.

Cooling fans in the BFI-P2

This list shows whether the Drive is only convection cooled, has fan/fans in the heatsink or fan/fans in the electronics.

To test the fan manually ensure the drive is in a stop condition.
Then activate all five push buttons on the front of the drive, starting with the Stop button.
This will cause all segments to light on the drive display and cause the heat sink fan or internal fan to come on.
If the fan does not activate when the display segments are lit then this indicates a fan fault.

Input Phase Loss Detection

​To protect the BFI there is a built-in protection called Input Phase Loss Detection that can trip (stop and give an alarm) the BFI. This alarm is trigged if one of the 3 input wires on L1, L2 or L3 is lost or cut.

This protection is only available as long as output current is > 50% of rated BFI current. The rectifier inside the BFI can not be damaged as long as current does not exceed 50%.

It also gives the possibility to run a 3-phase supplied drive by only 2-phase input. This can be done during two conditions. 

• Output current is reduced by 50% of rated current of BFI.
• Input voltage Phase L1 must always be powered.

​

Overcurrent trip

​​The Drive can trip for either O-I or h O-I. The differences are not shown in the manuals. This is the difference:

O-I : Software over current, measured from the current transformers by software

h O-I : Hardware over current. It depends on the drive how this is achieved, most use IPMs, so it is the trip signal from the module itself, otherwise it's a hardware measurement circuit on the power board.

This gives two levels of protection, but also tell us where the over current was detected. Usually O-I will react first as the limit is lower, but not always in the case of a short circuit or failed power module for example.

OLED Remote External Keypad, Working with Multiple Drive Networks

OLED Remote External Keypad, Working with Multiple Drive Networks

To setup the communication address
By default, the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI will try to communicate with the drive that has Address 1 in the network after powering up for the first time.
The OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI will display “Scanning for Drive 01.” after power up, which indicates that the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI is searching for the drive with the correct drive address in the network. Once the drive has been found, the message “Load...” will be displayed on the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI, which indicates that the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI is reading the configuration information from the drive. Usually it will take 1~2 seconds for the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI to read this information. After the data has been loaded, the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI will display the drive real time status.
If the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI cannot find the drive in the network, i.e. there is no drive in the network with address equal to 1, the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI will display “Select drive address 01”. The user can then adjust the address from 1 to 63 by using the UP or DOWN buttons on the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI.
Once the address has been changed to a value to match that of a connected drive, the STOP button must be pressed to enable the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI to search for the drive again.

Working with Multiple Drive Networks
When the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI is used on networks with multiple drives, the user can change the drive address to set up communication with another drive in the same drive network at anytime.
Briefly pressing the STOP and DOWN buttons together results in the message “Select drive address xx” being displayed, where “xx” represents the present drive address. Use the UP or DOWN button to select the desired drive address. After selecting the new address, pressing STOP and DOWN button together again will result in OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI establishing communications with the drive that has this address.
NOTE
For detailed parameter listing and functional setup, please refer to the corresponding BFI user guide

Networks with 2 OPT-2-OPPAD-BFIs connected
A maximum of 2 OPT-2-OPPAD-BFIs can be connected within the same drive network to communicate with the same drive or different drives.
When using two OPT-2-OPPAD-BFIs simultaneously on a network, the user must change the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI Device Number on the second OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI to ensure correct operation. All OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI units are set to Device Number 1 by default.
To change the Device Number, press the NAVIGATE, STOP and DOWN buttons together. The message “Select OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI ID xx” (xx = 01 or 02) will be displayed. The User can then use the UP or DOWN buttons to change the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI Device Number to 1 or 2 as required. Press the STOP button to return to normal operation.
Note:

• Once the User has set the OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI as Device Number 2, BFI-Tools software cannot be used on the same drive network.

• The OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI Device Address should only be changed to 2 if 2 OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI units are connected on a network. An OPT-2-OPPAD-BFI with Device Number 1 must always be present for the network to function correctly.

Power consumption in standby

Power consumption to BFI have been measured during following conditions:

• Mains power applied
• Safety inputs NOT activated
• Enable not activated
• No other I/O:s connected
• Coooling fans off

Single phase motors run by BFI-E3/H3/P2

Beijer Electronics Frequency inverter BFI-H3 or BFI-P2 are not intended for drive of single phase motors.

BFI-E3 exists in a special version that can run single phase motors. Contact Beijer Electronics for more information.

PID-control. Scaling of actual processvalue in display and unit

In the display a provessvalue and unit when runing PID-control can be displayed.

Exampel of how to do this is shown below. In this case a pressure of 0 - 10 bar is measured by a 0 - 10 V.

First of all a small plc program inside BFI-H3 and BFI-P2 needs to be created as below:

 

Finally the value needs to be scaled in parameter P3-12.

Displayed Value = Value of analof Input2 (0-100%) * P3-12

Automatic heating of BFI-P2 when temperatur is below -10 degree Celsius

​BFI-P2 generate due to UL-approval an under temperature alarm when temperature is below -10 degrees Celsius.

By adding an internal resistor into an IP20 or an IP55 Size4 and Size5 the BFI-P2 can generate heat by en internal brake chopper. Heat is automatically generated in the resistorwhen temperature is below -10.

Resistors to be used

• BFI-P2 IP20:  OD-BR100-BFI with Item number 63101 
  
• BFI-P2 IP55 Size 4 and 5:  OPT-BR050-IN-IP55-BFI with Item number 63231.
  

Set parameters

• P6-19= Resistance [ohm] of resistor 
  
• P6-20= Power [kW] of resistor
  
• P6-21= Brake chopper Heater Duty cycle.
  

Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP communication at the same time

​Modbus RTU will not work if the BFI also has a Modbus TCP option module, ABCC-EIT_2P installed. But Modbus TCP will work. 

 

 

 

 

Encoder feedback

​Missing A- and B-inverse signals

The 24 VDC encoder feedback board for BFI-P2 requires 4 wire input, A, A inverse, B and B inverse.

It might  happend that there are only 2 wires available, A and B chanel. In these cases the A-inverse and B-inverse must be connected to 1/2 of the output voltage of the encoder. If for instance a 24 VDC encoder is used, A-inverse and B-inverse should be permanent connected to +12 VDC. Then the option board will then work properly.

Input Impedance for Encoder feedback option board

- Option board Item number 63170, 24 VDC Encoder, is 47 kohm.

​- Option board Item number 63121, 5 VDC Encoder, is 120 ohm.

 

 

Thermal protection inside motor connected to BFI-E3/P2/H3

An external temperature sensor located inside the motor can be connected to all BFI-models, BFI-E3/P2/H3.

The sensor is supplied with 24 VDC from the Drive.

Triplevel is a resistance above 2,5 kOhm and reset level is under 1, 9 kOhm.

The signal can also be a digital signal, like Klixon, and it is to be connected to the same terminal in the Drive.

The input is not ATEX classified.

For connection and settings, see manual for the dedicated drive.

BFI as DC / AC Converter

It is possible to supply a BFI-P2 inverter with DC voltage.
(only P2 inverters can be used, not H2 H3 or E2 E3)

In case of using the output to supply a transformer, it is essential to add a sinus filter, to avoid overheating of the trafo due to PWM output voltage.
See attached table for recommended TNR type filter:

- TNR 29848 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=4,5A fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz

- TNR 29849 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=6,5A fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz

- TNR 29850 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=8A fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz

- TNR 29851 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=10A fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz

- TNR 29739 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=18 fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz

- TNR 29740 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=24A fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz

- TNR 29741 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=32A fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz

- TNR 29854 Sine Wave Filter Un=400 VAC, In=42A fn<=70Hz, fs=4...16kHz 

For BFI:s up to 22 kW should external DC supply always be connected to L1 and L2 to avoid Alarm "main loss" trip and also use the internal precharge circuit inside the BFI.
Set parameter P2-38=3 (DC-Bus Supply Operation Mode)
For 600V DC, a 400V drive is fine , Since the drive is designed for 380-480V AC which gives us 380 AC * SQRT(2) - 480 AC* SQRT(2) = 537 - 679V DC

CC-Link communication

To think about regarding CC-Link communication between Mitsubishi master and BFI-P2 and BFI-H3.

1. BFI-P2/H3 is to be defined as Remote Device Station, Exclusive station 2. Means it is occupies 2 stations which is equal to 64 bits/8 words input/output
2. Master station setting should be Remote Net(Ver2 mode). 
3. The communication to the Drive from the master is not started up automatically. This is done by plc-code in the FB for control of Drive.
4. Stationnumber is set P05-01, Runing drive by CC-Link P1-12=4 and communication speed in P5-03 as below

Setting 9.6 menas =156kbps, Setting 19.2=625kbps, Setting 38.4=2.5mbps, Setting 57.6=5mbps,  Setting115.2=10mbps

Modbus TCP gateway OPT-3-MTPEG-BFI - Reset IP address to default

To reset the IP address of the Modbus TCP gateway OPT-3-MTPEG-BFI or the BFI-E3 with built-in Modbus TCP (BFI-E3-XX-XXXX-XXXX-MTP) the following procedure must be followed, there is at the time of writing no other way to reset the devices.

To be able to perform the following steps Wirehark must be installed and can be found here, https://www.wireshark.org/download.html

1. Launch wireshark and enable it to listen to the network interface card where the gateway/inverter is connected. Use the menu Capture\Options to select which adapter to bind to.
   
   
2. Launch BFI Tools and Scan for ethernet devices, the scan will not show any found devices.
   
   
3. The Scan function will send a broadcast message to destination 255.255.255.255 to port 47850 and once received by the gateway or inverter they will start to broadcast for their default gateway.
   NOTE! The broadcasts may be blocked by antivirus/firewalls etc but normally not since it is sent as a single message and not repetibly
   In the example below we can see the broadcast (Scan) being sent on row 1 and then an ARP request from the gateway/inverter. Inverter_01:92 is the device trying to identify its default gateway IP. 192.168.111.253 is the IP address of the gateway/inverter.
   
   
4. Change the computers IP settings to the same subnet as the gateway/inverter, in this case for example 192.168.111.251. Normally the subnet mask in use is 255.255.255.0, try expanding the subnet mask if no connection is possible to 255.255.0.0.
   
   
5. Use the scan function from BFI Tools and if the previous steps where followed the device should now appear.

BFI Main circuit terminal connections

The Main circuit terminals on the smaller BFI inverters can appear to be rather small, when using 4mm2 \ 6mm2 cables. Normal connector materials for 6mm2 will often be to wide to fit the terminal width. Below is some links to fork type cable connectors that is 8mm wide for M4 screws and 4-6mm2 cables:
