3.5.4 Thermal switch connection
You might wish to wire the motor’s thermal switch contacts (normally open), using a relay , to a
digital input on connector X3 (see section 4.3.1). Using the WorkBench v5 Digital I/O tool, the
input can be configured to be the motor trip input. This allows the FlexDrive
II
to respond to
motor over-temperature conditions. The Mint keyword MOTORTEMPERATUREINPUT can also
be used to configure a digital input for this purpose. A typical circuit, using DIN1 as the input,
is shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9 - Motor thermal switch circuit
CAUTION: The 24VDC power supply connected to the thermal switch must be a
separate supply as shown in Figure 9. Do not use the 24V supply used
for the drive enable signal, or the internally generated supply (if present).
The thermal switch wires often carry noise that could cause erratic drive
operation or damage. The thermal switch contacts must never be wired
directly to a digital input.
The separate 24VDC supply used for the thermal switch may also be
used for the motor brake circuit (section 3.5.5).
