WARNING
Unexpected machine movement caused by incorrect converter type
If a replacement is made with a converter of a di󹪜erent type, this can result in incomplete or
unsuitable converter settings. This can result in unexpected machine movements, e.g. speed
oscillation, overspeed or incorrect direction of rotation. Unexpected machine movements can
result in death, injury or property damage.
• In all cases not permitted according to the above requirements, you must recommission the
drive after replacing the converter.
WARNING
Unexpected machine movement caused by unsuitable converter settings
Missing or unsuitable converter settings can lead to unexpected operating states or machine
movements, e.g. a non-functioning EMERGENCY STOP or an incorrect direction of rotation.
This can result in damage to machine components or system sections or in death or bodily
injury.
• Back up the settings of the converter to be replaced by uploading them to an external
storage medium, e.g. a memory card.
• Transfer the settings of the converter to be replaced by downloading them to the new
converter.
• If you do not have a backup of the converter settings, recommission the new converter.
• Check the new converter for proper functioning.
NOTICE
Damage caused by interchanging the motor cables
The direction in which the motor rotates switches if the two phases of the motor cable are
interchanged. An incorrect direction of rotation can lead to damage in the machine or system.
• Connect the 3 phases of the motor cables in the correct sequence.
