DC590+ Series DC Digital Drive 
Power Connections continued 
Motor Field 
F-
F+
 
Connect the 
motor field (-) 
to terminal F-, 
and connect 
field (+) to 
terminal F+. 
  Frame 3: Terminals F- & F+ = D3 & D4 
Connect the cable screen to the independent earth/ground point. 
If the motor has no field connections, is a permanent magnet motor, 
or if the field is derived externally, you must either: 
 
  disable the FIELD ENABLE parameter (Tag No. 170) 
 later during Set-up (disables the Field Fail alarm automatically) 
 or 
  disable the Field Fail alarm 
Motor Thermistor 
Th1
 
Th2
 
Connect the 
motor 
thermistor to 
terminals Th1 
and Th2 
or 
link terminals 
if sensors are 
not fitted. 
  Frames 3, 6 & H: Terminals Th1 & Th2 = THERM1 & THERM 2   
Terminals Th1 and Th2 must be linked if motor sensors are not fitted. 
(Thermistor terminals for Frames 3, 6 & H are on the Control Door Board). 
We recommend that you protect the dc motor against overtemperature by the use of temperature sensitive resistors 
or switches in the field and interpole windings of the machine. When the motor is fitted with over-temperature 
sensing devices, such as thermostats or PTC thermistors, these should be connected (in series) between terminals 
TH1 and TH2. 
•  Thermistors must have a combined working resistance of 750  or less, rising to 4k at over-temperature. 
These thermistors are classified by IEC34-II as Mark A. 
•  Temperature switches must be normally closed, and open at rated temperature. 
The over temperature alarm will activate at 3k. It is latched in software and must be reset by re-starting the Drive. 
NOTE   The motor temperature alarm (THERMOSTAT) cannot be inhibited in software.
