2.12.20  FC 17: YDelta star/delta changeover 
Description of functions 
The block for star/delta changeover controls the timing of the defined switching logic such 
that the changeover can be performed in either direction even when the spindle is running. 
This block may be used only for digital main spindle drives and must be called separately for 
each spindle.  
The changeover operation is implemented via 2 separate contactors in a sequence involving 
4 steps: 
 
Step 1:  Delete the "Motor selection in progress" interface signal in the relevant axis DB  
(DB 31, ... DBX21.5) and connect the changeover process using "Motor selection" A 
(DB 31, ... DBX21.5). 
Step 2:  As soon as the "Pulses enabled" = 0 (DB 31, ... DBX93.7) checkback signal and the 
acknowledgment of the announced motor selection from the drive have appeared, the 
currently energized contactor drops out. 
Step 3:  The other contactor is energized after the time period set by the user in parameter 
"TimeVal" has elapsed. 
Step 4:  After a further delay, the changeover is signaled to the drive with "Motor selection in 
progress" (DB31, ... DBX21.5).
