NOTE
Please refer to the Sinus Penta’s Installation Guide for the hardware description of digital inputs
(COMMANDS) and analog inputs (REFERENCES).
See also the INPUTS FOR REFERENCES MENU and the DIGITAL INPUTS MENU.
The drive is factory set to receive digital commands via the terminal board; the main speed reference is sent from the
REF analog input, and no external limit for torque limitation is enabled.
The parameters in this menu allow selecting the following:
• The source of the drive commands (digital inputs) from three signal sources (through parameters C140,
C141, C142) which are logically matched so as to obtain an active M031 command set. For each of these 3
parameters you can select the source of the command signals from 4 different sources;
• The source of the speed reference (or torque reference) from 4 different sources (that can be selected with
parameters C143, C144, C145, C146) that can be summed up together.
For each of these 4 parameters, you can select the source of the reference signals from 9 different sources;
• The source of the torque limit reference (through parameter C147, allowing selecting the reference source
from 9 different sources).
Therefore, you can select and enable different command sources (hardware or virtual sources), different speed (or
torque) references (hardware or virtual sources) and enable an external torque limit.
The drive commands may be sent from:
• The hardware terminal board (terminal board on the control board), which is logically separated into terminal
board A and terminal board B;
• The keypad;
• The virtual remote terminal board: through serial link with MODBUS communications protocol;
• The virtual remote terminal board: through Fieldbus (optional board).
Multiple terminal boards may also be enabled (up to 3 terminal boards with parameters C140, C141, C142); in this case,
the drive will apply logic functions OR or AND to the different terminals to obtain the activated terminal board (see
Command Sources).
The following references and torque limit signals may be sent:
• Three analog inputs acquired to the hardware terminal board (REF, AIN1, AIN2), plus two analog inputs
(XAIN4, XAIN5) acquired to the hardware terminal board located on ES847 optional board;
• FIN frequency input;
• Encoder input;
• Keypad;
• Serial link with MODBUS communications protocol;
• Fieldbus (optional board);
• Up/Down from MDI (Up and Down digital inputs).
Multiple reference sources may be enabled at the same time (up to 4 reference sources with parameters C143, C144,
C145, C146); in this case, the drive will consider the sum of all active reference as the main reference.
Finally, a dynamic selection between two command sources and two reference sources is allowed when using the digital
input configured as Source Selection (see C179); otherwise, the inputs configured as Command Selection and
Reference Selection (C179a and C179b) can be used.
