4.3.10.2  Externally requested and current-dependent U
d
 reduction 
Up to and including Unit Software Release 3.1, U
d 
reduction was implemented only upon external request by 
means of the control word 1 command "U
d 
reduction demanded" (STW1, Bit 11= 1
): 
When an edge is detected on this command (source selection by P571), the U
d
 setpoint is lowered to the value 
(1.35
*
U
mains,infeed*
P318/100.00%) according to P318 (with or without deceleration ramp according to P330, 
depending on whether P330 has an odd or even value) and regenerative feedback is disabled (the message 
"Recovery not ready“ is displayed, status word ZSW1, Bit 10= 0). The DC link should now discharge (free 
discharge or current withdrawal from the DC link). When the DC link voltage has been reduced, the message 
"U
d
 is reduced" is issued via ZSW1, Bit 13= 1. Energy recovery is re-released again, the message ZSW1, Bit 
10= 1 is issued. When the message "U
d
 is reduced" has been issued, an inverter connected to the DC link may 
start returning energy into the DC link. 
An external logical linking
 is required for the energy recovery! 
As from Unit Software Release 3.2
, the U
d 
can also be reduced automatically, as an alternative, depending on 
the DC link current
 I
d
: 
When the current-dependent U
d 
reduction is released by 
P323= 1, the command for the reduction is generated 
internally
 by U
d
. The U
d 
setpoint is automatically reduced to the value in accordance with P318 when I
d
 
(averaged over 3 current crests) falls below the threshold 
P321. If I
d
 exceeds the sum of threshold P321 and 
hysteresis 
P322, the "full" U
d 
setpoint value (1.35
*
U
line,feed
) is selected again. In contrast to U
d
 lowering by 
means of STW1, bit 11, precharge time 
P329 or discharge time P330 are always active (setpoint input with 
ramp) when the U
d
 setpoint is specified internally. 
Attention
:  Undisturbed recovery mode is only possible if, after falling below P321, the load current withdrawn 
(by the inverters connected to the DC link) still remains positive for a sufficient length of time
 before 
changing direction to permit a reduction of the DC link voltage to the specified value before
 recovery 
is started. The current-dependent U
d
 reduction functions therefore only if an appropriate load cycle 
exists !
