Loss of signal feature
The loss of signal feature is a control scheme that gives the operator the ability to select one
of three possible actions in the event that the signal from an external sensor, configured to
specify the speed demand, is lost. Under this condition, the operator may program the drive
(through the system program) to (1) revert to a fixed, pre-programmed speed, (2) maintain
the current speed, or (3) perform a controlled (ramped) stop of the drive. By default, current
speed is maintained.
LVD
LVD is an acronym for Low Voltage Directive, a safety directive in the EU.
Lvl RH
This term refers the two security fields associated with each parameter of the system. These
fields allow the operator to individually customize specific security features for each menu
option (submenu, parameter, pick list, and function). These fields are shown in parameter
dumps and have the following meanings. Lvl is the term for the security level. Setting R=1
blocks parameter change, and setting H=1 hides the menu option from view until the
appropriate access level has been activated.
Memory
Memory is the working storage area for the Perfect Harmony drive that is a collection of RAM
chips.
Microprocessor
A microprocessor is a central processing unit (CPU) that exists on a single silicon chip. The
microprocessor board is the printed circuit board on which the microprocessor is mounted.
The NXG drive employs a single-board computer with a PentiumĀ® microprocessor.
NEMA 1 and NEMA 12
NEMA 1 is an enclosure rating in which no openings allow penetration of a 0.25-inch
diameter rod. NEMA 1 enclosures are intended for indoor use only. NEMA 12 is a more
stringent NEMA rating in which the cabinet is said to be "dust tight" (although it is still not
advisable to use NEMA 12 in conductive dust atmospheres). The approximate equivalent
IEC rating is IP52.
Normally closed (NC)
Normally closed refers to the contact of a relay that is closed when the coil is de-energized.
Normally open (NO)
Normally open refers to the contact of a relay that is open when the coil is de-energized.
