When a system contains paralleled Unidrive SPMC/Us, the rectifier’s 
status outputs must be daisy chained to the status inputs of the next. 
Providing the system is fused correctly, the method used to monitor the 
rectifier status must have the ability to disable the system within 500ms.
A PLC can be used to monitor the status output of the rectifier. PLC input 
impedance must be no greater than 10kΩ. Status signals are not 
latched.

Function
The internal fan in the rectifier is 
controlled by a temperature control 
loop. The fan can be forced to run 
at full speed by connecting this 
terminal to +24V
