ACS550 User’s Manual Connection example of a two-wire sensor Many applications use process PI(D) and need a feedback signal from the process. The feedback signal is typically connected to analog input 2 (AI2). The macro wiring diagrams in this chapter show the connection when a separately powered sensor is used.
ACS550 User’s Manual User parameter sets In addition to the standard application macros, it is possible to save two user parameter sets into the permanent memory and load them at a later time. A user parameter set consists of the user parameter settings, including Group 99: START- DATA, and the results of the motor identification.
Parameter default values are listed in section Complete parameter list on page 85. Changing from the default macro (ABB Standard), that is, editing the value of parameter 9902, changes the parameter default values as defined in the following tables. Note: There are two sets of values because the defaults are configured for 50 Hz/ IEC compliance (ACS550-01) and 60 Hz/NEMA compliance (ACS550-U1).
Parameters can be modified only when the drive is stopped. • User = Space to enter desired parameter values. Some values depend on the “construction” as indicated in the table by “01:” or “U1:”. Refer to the type code on the drive, for example ACS550-01.. Code Name...
