1. OVERVIEW

The MICROMASTERS are a range of frequency inverters for controlling the speed of three phase AC motors. Various models are available, ranging from the compact 120 W single phase input MICROMASTER up to the 7.5 kW three phase input MICROMASTER.

The inverters are microprocessor-controlled and use state of the art IGBT technology for reliability and flexibility. A special pulse-width modulation method with selectable ultrasonic pulse frequency permits extremely quiet motor operation. Inverter and motor protection is provided by comprehensive protective functions.

Features:

Easy to install, program and commission.

Closed loop control using a Proportional, Integral (PI) control loop function.

High starting torque with automatic starting boost.

Remote control capability via RS485 serial link using the USS protocol with the ability to control up to 31 inverters.

A comprehensive range of parameters is provided to enable the inverters to be configured for use in almost any application.

Membrane-type front panel controls for simple operation.

Built-in non-volatile memory for storing parameter settings.

Factory default parameter settings pre-programmed for European and North American requirements.

Output frequency (and hence motor speed) can be controlled by one of five methods:

(1)Frequency setpoint using the keypad.

(2)High resolution analogue setpoint (voltage input).

(3)External potentiometer to control motor speed.

(4)Fixed frequencies via binary inputs.

(5)Serial interface.

Built-in DC injection brake with special COMPOUND BRAKING.

Integral RFI filter on single phase input inverters (MM12 - MM300).

Acceleration/deceleration times with programmable smoothing.

Fully programmable single relay output incorporated.

External Options connector for optional multi-language Clear Text Display (OPM2) or optional PROFIBUS module.

Automatic recognition of 2, 4, 6 or 8-pole motors by software.

Integral software-controlled cooling fan.

Fast Current Limit (FCL) for reliable trip-free operation.

Compact design and the ability to mount inverters side by side provides greater space saving.
