About This Manual
This manual contains the information you need to

connect up the frequency inverter correctly and to
configure the drive parameters to your requirements.
The information in this manual only applies to the
specified hardware and software versions.
The manual is subdivided into 2 parts. Part 1
describes the frequency inverter models DF4-120,
DF4-340 and DF4-341 together with all of the
configurable parameters. The models are not
described in separate sections. Furthermore, where
differences and special points apply to a particular
frequency inverter model, this is made clear in the
text.
Part 2 describes the optional LCD keypad. The LCD
keypad does not belong to the standard scope of
delivery of the DF4 frequency inverter series. It is
covered in this manual nonetheless, because you
can also use it to configure the drive parameters.

Frequency inverters of the DF4 series convert the

voltage and frequency of a 3-phase mains supply to
a DC voltage and then generate 3-phase power with
variable voltage and frequency. The variable 3-phase
power output allows continuous adjustment of the
speed of rotation of 3-phase asynchronous motors.

Version selection The main factor when choosing the correct model of
criteria frequency inverter is the rated motor current. The
rated output current of the frequency inverter must
be the same as or larger than the rated motor current.
The following motor data must be known: X
Type of motor (3-phase asynchronous motor),
Mains supply voltage = supply voltage of motor
(3 AC; 400 V),
Rated motor current (guiding value, dependent
on the method of connection and motor supply
voltage),
Torque characteristics (quadratic or constant
characteristic, with starting torque factor 1.5
higher),
Ambient temperature (max. temperature 40 °C).
When connecting several motors in parallel to the

output of the frequency inverter, the motor
currents are added geometrically, i.e. separately
for the in-phase current and the reactive current
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
components. The rating of the frequency inverter

should be chosen to be large enough to supply
both the total apparent current and the reactive
current components.
8
If a motor is connected to the output of the

frequency inverter when the latter is already
under power, the motor initially takes a current
which is several times higher than its rated
current. If this situation can arise, you should
choose the rating of the frequency inverter such
that the starting current plus the sum of currents
of the running motors does not exceed the rated
output current of the frequency inverter.
The rated output current of the different models of
frequency inverter can be found in the Appendix
under “Technical Data”.

Power losses PV
The power loss PV of the frequency inverter is
dependent on the operating state of the connected
motor. The values in the following table relate to
rated values for the motor parameters (motor
operating at rated motor power, 4 pole ASM) at an
ambient temperature of 40 °C.

2 Engineering
EMC compliance
The EU Directive 89/336/EEC has been

applicable for the European Commercial Region
(EU and EFTA) since 1st Jan. 1996. This contains
the radio interference limit values for variable-
speed drives in relation to standardEN 55 011.
The relevant EMC product standard
(EN 61 800-3) takes into account the
combination of frequency inverter, cables and
motor.
EMC = Electro Magnetic Compatibility.
EN 55 011 is a product family standard for devices
used in medical scientific and medical applications.
Apart from the filtering required on the mains supply,
design measures affecting construction and the
wiring are also necessary to achieve the reduction of
radio interference emission in accordance with
EN 55 011 limit value class A and B. Poor earthing
and screening will also reduce the effect of the
interference suppression filter. The required levels of
radio interference can only be maintained through
the combination of suitable filters and correct
installation.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
16
EMC compliance
Construction
Connect together all metal components of the
equipment and/or cabinet using a large-area contact
surface; ensure that the connection has a low
impedance. If possible, avoid painted surfaces
(e.g. Eloxal or yellow chrome coating) and use
contact washers or serrated washers. If several
mounting plates are used, connect them together
and connect cabinet doors to the cabinet using short
runs of RF braiding which contacts the components
over a large surface.
Mount the mains filter and the frequency inverter on
a metal plate, and as close to each other as possible
(See figure 4).
Lay cables in the control cabinet as close as possible
to the 0 V potential. Cables which hang freely act as
antennas.
Noise protected cables (e.g. mains supply cables in
front of the filter) and signal cables should be kept as
far apart possible from cables with high RF noise
(e.g. mains supply cables behind the filter, motor
feeders), in order to prevent interference coupling.
Never use the same cable duct for laying these two
types of cable.
Never lay control or signal cables in the same duct as
power cables. Analog signal cables (for measured
values, setpoints and correction values) must be
screened.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
17
EMC compliance
Earthing
Connect the earth plate (mounting plate) with the
protective earth using a short cable. All conductive
components (frequency inverters, mains filters,
motor filters, mains chokes) must be connected to
the RF braid which must be laid from a central
earthing point from the protective conductor. This
will ensure optimum results (See figure 4).
Filtering
Motor chokes and motor voltage filters are
particularly effective for reducing higher frequency
interference and are connected directly to the output
of the frequency inverter. The characteristics of the
motor voltage filters should be matched to the
chopper frequency of the frequency inverter.
Only use mains filters, radio interference suppression
filters and mains chokes which are intended for use
with the frequency inverter, motor etc. Radio
interference suppression filters reduce inadmissible
high frequency interference to an acceptable level.
Mains chokes reduce low frequency interference.
Mains filters combine the function of the mains
chokes and radio interference suppression filters.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
18
EMC compliance
Screening
The effectiveness of a screened cable is dependent
on the good connection of the screening and low
screen impedance. Only use screens with tinned or
nickel plated copper braiding; screens from steel
braiding are unsuitable. The screen braid must offer
a degree of covering of at least 70 % to 80 % and the
braiding angle should be 90°.
Keep the motor feed cable between the frequency
inverter and the motor as short as possible. To
observe the limit values in accordance with
EN 55 011 the cables must be screened. Connect
the screening of the motor feed cable to earth at both
ends of the cable using a large-area contact surface.
Unbraiding of the screening and earth connection
using pigtails is not permissible (See figure 4).
The screening of control of signal cables must only
connect at one end of the cable. Make sure the
screen connects to earth using a large-area contact
surface; ensure that the connection has a low
impedance. This screen of digital signal cables must
be connected at both ends of the cable. If earth
potential differences are present, an additional
potential equalisation cable should be fitted,
particularly in the case of long cable runs or cables
which go to other equipment or components. In the
case of interference caused by contactors, magnetic
valves etc. to control or signal cables, fit an RC filter
(for AC circuits) or freewheeling diode (for DC
circuits) to the respective winding.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
19
EMC compliance
If contactors, motor protective switches or terminals

are installed in the motor cabling, interconnect the
screens of the cabling on both sides of these
components and connect the screens with the
mounting plate using a large-area contact surface.
If the cable between the mains filter and the
frequency inverter is longer than 300 mm, the cable
must be screened at both ends and connected to the
mounting plate using a large-area contact surface
(See figure 4).
If a brake unit is used, connect the screen of the
cable for the braking resistor directly to the brake unit
and to the mounting plate of the braking resistor
using a large-area contact surface. Connect the
cable screen between the frequency inverter and the
braking unit at both ends and connect to the
mounting plate using a large-area contact surface.
When using DF4-34x series frequency inverters in
residential areas, you must provide additional
screening with an effectiveness of 10 dB to reduce
interference. This is normally achieved by installing
equipment in standard, closed metal control
cabinets or switch boxes that are properly earthed.
Changes in correct gaps provided for insulation
purposes or the removal of insulation or cover plates
is not admissible since the equipment will no longer
comply with the EMC and/or Low-Voltage Directives.
The user of the equipment is responsible for ensuring
that the machine application complies with the
relevant EU Directives.

EMC compliance
CE requirements for the installation of the drive

system
If other equipment is in use in the vicinity of the
frequency inverter which does not meet the CE
requirements with respect to interference immunity
EN 50 082-2, this equipment can be affected
electro-magnetically by the frequency inverter.
In the case of installations which deviate from the
recommendations in this section of the manual, such
as:
use of unscreened cables,
use of central interference suppression filters
instead of radio interference suppression filters
matched to the equipment,
failure to install mains chokes,
then the machine or plant must be tested for
compliance with the EMC limiting values to assess
its compliance with the EMC Directives.
Protection of personnel and domestic animals to

DIN VDE 0100 with earth leakage circuit-breakers
Frequency inverters contain a mains rectifier. A DC
fault current caused by an earth fault can prevent the
release of classical residual current circuit-breakers.
For this reason we recommend the use of:
pulse-residual current circuit-breakers for
equipment containing DF4-120 frequency
inverters, and
all-current sensitive residual current circuit-
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
breakers for equipment containing DF4-340 and

DF4-341 frequency inverters.

Mains network
configurations
When choosing the tripping current, please note that

capacitive equalisation currents in the cable screens
and radio interference suppression filters which
occur during normal operation can trip circuit-
breakers unintentionally.
Mains network Not all frequency inverters of the DF4 series are
configurations suitable for unrestricted use with all types of mains
network configuration:
Mains network configurations
with an earthed star point can be used with
frequency inverters of the DF4 series without
limitation. Please observe the technical
specification for the DF4 series frequency
inverters.
For mains network configurations with an earthed
star point and interconnected operation, there is
a limitation for DF4-120 series frequency
inverters. For 3 AC/N/P mains networks and
symmetrical distribution of current across the
three phase conductors, it must be ensured that
the mains r.m.s. current does not exceed the
rated capacity of the common N conductor. If
necessary, increase the cross-section of the
N conductor.
For mains network configurations with isolated
star point (IT networks), frequency inverters cannot
be used with the recommended mains filter. The
mains filter will be destroyed if an earth fault occurs.
Please contact the supplier for further
information.

Mains network configurations with earthed phase

conductor are not suitable for standard frequency
inverter models. Please contact the supplier for
further information.
23
Mains network
configurations
For operation with the DC-supply via UG/–UG,

the DC voltage must be symmetrical to the PE.
DF4 series frequency inverters will be destroyed
if the UG conductor or –UG conductor is
earthed.

Power cabling
The output of the frequency inverter

(terminals U, V, W) should not be
connected to a voltage or capacitive load (such
as phase compensation capacitors)
you must not connect several frequency inverters
in parallel at their outputs;
you must not make any direct connection back to
the input of the frequency inverter (bypass).
Protection of the power section should be selected
according to the mains network configuration used.
Cable and device protection for AC circuits:
AC input: use standard commercial cable
protection fuses
Fuses for UL compliant equipment must meet UL
approval
The rated voltages of the fuses must be chosen
according to the mains voltage at the installation
site. Use devices with tripping characteristics
defined with H or k5
Protection devices for cables and equipment in DC
circuits:
DC inputs..., use the recommended DC fuses.
In the case of DC power feed or DC power feed with
interconnected operation, fuses F4 and F5 can be
implemented by connecting several fuses in parallel.
You can also use cables connected in parallel.
The fuses and cross-sections listed in the

Appendix do not apply when connecting a
braking unit to terminals UG/–UGH. Refer to
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
the technical documentation of the braking unit

for further details.

Power cabling
Cables, contactors, mains filters

The cable types used must comply with the
appropriate regulations at the installation site.
Please refer to the section on EMC compliance in the
Engineering chapter for information on installing and
connecting up cables to meet the EMC regulations.
The correct type of mains filter, mains choke, radio
interference suppression filter and mains contactor
for the chosen frequency inverter model is described
in the Appendix under Mains filter/Mains contactor.
Always connect the frequency inverter to the

earth circuits using the designated PE terminal
and using the housing. Always observe the
regulations on the minimum cross-section of PE
cables to use (EN 50 178, VDE 0160). The cross-
section of the PE conductor must be at least as
large as the cross-section of the power terminals
(10 mm2).
Information on the correct fuses and cable cross
sections for the incoming and outgoing cables are
described in the Appendix under Fuses/cable cross-
sections
Incoming conductors AC: L1, L2, L3, N, PE
(depending on model)
Incoming conductors DC: UG, –UG, PE
(all models)

27
Motor types and
connections
Fuses and cable cross-sections are dependent on

the power rating of the frequency inverter and the
operating mode.
When choosing the cable cross-sections, remember

to allow for the voltage drop under load. Compliance
with other standards (e.g. VDE 0113, VDE 0289) is
the responsibility of the user.
Motor types and DF4 series frequency inverters are designed for
connections applications with three-phase asynchronous motors.
The use of pole-changing three-phase motors
(Dahlander), three-phase motors with slip rings
(slipring motors) or reluctance, synchronous and
servo motors is also possible. When using these
motors check that the requirements of the
application (machine) and of the motor manufacturer
can be fulfilled.
The switching devices for the motor must meet the
following DC voltage requirements:
DF4-120 with UDC max. 400 V
DF4-34x with UDC max. 800 V
Full motor protection to VDE standards is

achieved by the use of overcurrent relays and
temperature monitoring. This is also obligatory
for group operation (motors connected in parallel
to a single frequency inverter). PTC thermistors
or temperature switches with PTC
characteristics are the most suitable devices for
monitoring the motor temperature.
Attention!
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
Motors with insulation that is not suitable for use

with frequency inverters may be destroyed if
used. Contact your motor supplier for further
details. Operation with the appropriate motor
filters is normally possible.
28
Motor types and
connections
The output frequency of the frequency inverter

determines the rotary speed of the 3-phase motor. If
you want to operate the motor above the rated
speed/rated frequency, it is necessary to observe the
technical data from the motor manufacturer for
mechanical reasons (bearings, motor balancing, ...).
This is also necessary when operating the motor for
extended periods at a frequency below 25 Hz. This
can reduce the motor ventilation to an unacceptable
level leadng to overheating. Countermeasures
include overdimensioning or the use of an additional
ventilator.
Attention!
The frequency inverter parameter PNU 011
allows you to configure the maximum output
frequency (max. 480 Hz). Ask the motor
manufacturer if the motor is suitable for such
frequencies. The use of unsuitable motors can
result in dangerous overspeeds and/or destroy
the machine.
Three-phase motors can be operated with various
circuit configurations. To a degree, the circuit
configuration is dependent on the rated power of the
motor. With mains supplies of 3 400 V they are
typically connected as follows
up to approx. 4 kW: star connection (230/400 V)
above 4 kW in delta connection (400/690 V)

motor as follows:
by exchanging two of the phase connections on
the motor (see figure)
by connecting terminal E4 = LOW (CW),
by connecting terminal E4 = HIGH (CCW),
by changing the polarity of the setpoint using the
serial interface module.

Motor types and
connections
Length of motor cable and admissible operating

mode
To ensure EMC compliance you must only use
screened motor cables. The length of the motor
cables and the related use of further components
affects the motor control mode and the operating
behaviour. The motor control mode is configured
with PNU 014. The resulting cable length lres must be
calculated as follows for group operation (several
motors in parallel on one frequency inverter):
lres = Total of all motor cable lengths Number of motor cables
In the case of long motor cables and frequency

inverters with lower rated output power, leakage
currents through parasitic cable capacitance can
trigger the fault message “OCx”. Use a motor
filter in such cases.
Try to keep the motor cables as short as possible
since this has a positive effect on the response of the
drive.
Speak to the supplier if the absolute or resulting
cable lengths for the motor are 200 m due to the
configuration requirements at hand.
When using unscreened motor cables, refer in the
table below to the column for a motor cable which is
twice as long.

Parallel connection of several motors to one

frequency inverter
The DF4 series frequency inverters can control
several motors connected in parallel. This is also
called group operation. If it is necessary for the
motors to turn at different speeds, this must be
achieved by choosing motors with a different number
of pole pairs and/or by using gearboxes.

Circuit types
Attention!
If you connect several motors to a single
frequency inverter in parallel, you must
dimension the mains contactors of each of the
motors to AC3. You must not choose the mains
contactors from the table “Mains filters/mains
contactors” in the Appendix. These mains
contactors are only for use on the incoming
mains side of the frequency inverter. If they are
used incorrectly, the contacts may weld.
If motors are connected in parallel, this reduces the
load impedance at the output of the frequency
inverter. The overall stator inductance decreases and
the stray capacitance of the cables increases. When
compared to the use of single motors this can lead to
current distortion. Use chokes or mains voltage
filters at the output of the frequency inverter to
reduce the current distortion.
The current consumption of all connected

motors should not exceed the rated output
current I2N of the frequency inverter.
If several motors are connected in parallel, it is

not possible to use electronic motor protection.
You must protect each motor separately with a
thermistor and/or a bimetal relay.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
40
Circuit types
Problems may occur at the start and at low speeds

when the frequency inverter output has been
connected to motors with greatly differing ratings
(e.g. 1.5 kW and 11 kW). In some cases, the motor with
the smaller rated power cannot produce the required
torque. This is due to the relatively large ohmic
resistance in the stators of such motors. They require
a higher voltage during startup and at low rotary
speeds.
Operation with interconnected internal DC bus

Parallel operation of several frequency inverters with
interconnection of the internal DC bus allows DC
energy to be exchanged between the motors. If one
or more of the frequency inverters are operating as a
generator (braking mode), energy is recovered and
fed back to the common DC bus and/or back to the
DC power feed. The energy can then be used by the
inter-connected frequency inverters which are
operating in motor mode. This can reduce the use of
brake units and reduce the energy consumption from
the mains power supply.
If you want to operate frequency inverters with an
interconnected DC bus, you must only use frequency
inverter models with the same DC bus voltage range,
e.g. DC 270 to 360 V or DC 320 to 510 V. The cable
connections to the common DC bus must be kept
short.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
41
Circuit types
Choose the cable cross-sections for +UG/–UG from

the table “Fuses/cable cross-sections” in the
Appendix.
You can achieve a low cable inductance by using
several DC busbars connected in parallel and using
several power cables in parallel between the
frequency inverters and the shared DC busbar; twist
the cables if necessary.
Only use the specified mains chokes/mains filters
and DC bus fusing.
Make sure that it is possible to switch on the mains
feed to all interconnected frequency inverters
simultaneously.
In the case of the DF4-120 series frequency

inverters, make sure that the phase conductors
are connected up the same way for all of them.
If you want to operate different series of

frequency inverters with an interconnected DC
bus, please contact the supplier for further
details.

Basic principles The purpose of setting parameters for the frequency

inverter is to adapt it to your application. The settings
are grouped together in different parameters which
are identified by parameter number (PNU).
The parameters are set either with the keys of the
LCD keypad DE 4-KEY-1 or via serial interface
modules using a PC. Both the LCD keypad and the
serial interface modules are available as accessories.
Factory settings The factory settings of the parameter of the DF4

series frequency inverters are chosen such that
parameter changes should not be necessary for
standard applications. The following table lists the
most important settings.
All of the parameters which are described in the

following section can be changed only with the
LCD keypad or the serial interface module
including operating software.

parameters
PNU 001 specifies which input channel is used for
control, setpoint input and setting parameters.
The setpoint for the controller is stored in non-volatile
memory and it is not affected by mains supply
interruptions.
If an enable signal is connected to terminal 28,

the frequency inverter may start automatically if
the operating mode is changed and the mains
supply is switched on again.

PNU 002 is used to manage the parameter sets.
According to the value of PNU 002, a parameter set
is either overwritten with the factory settings or
transferred from/to the optional LCD keypad
DE 4-KEY-1.

Switching parameter sets

The DF4 frequency inverters have two parameter
sets and you can switch from one to the other during
drive operation. This allows additional acceleration
and deceleration times and/or three additional jog
frequencies. Each parameter set contains all
configurable parameters. With a few exceptions, all
parameters of both sets can have different values.
The exceptions are described in the Appendix under
“Comments/abbreviations used in the parameter
table”.
In order to switch from parameter set 1 to 2 or vice-
versa, connect signals to the terminals as shown in
the table (see the section Terminal configuration).
If you have set different motor control modes in

the two parameter sets with PNU 014, only
switch between parameter sets when the
controller is inhibited.

Controller address and baud rate

If you want to connect several frequency inverters in
parallel using the RS 485 interface, each of the
controllers on the line must have a unique address.
The address is set with PNU 009. The possible
address ranges for different bus interfaces is shown
in the relevant manual for the interface.

009 Controller address 1 to 99 Only applies to RS 232/RS 485 serial interface 1
module.

1 = 4800 (RS 232/RS 485).
2 = 2400
3 = 1200
4 = 19200
Communication behaviour
If you operate the frequency inverter with an interface
module, PNU 126 is used to specify how the
frequency inverter should behave if the
communication to the interface has failed (interface
defect or removed).
This function is not available for DF4-120 series

frequency inverters. In this case, if an error
occurs the superior controller (e.g. PC) must
trigger an appropriate reaction (e.g. error
message or switch off the frequency inverter).

Control parameters
Control word
The control word contained in PNU 135 is a 16-bit
word with the designation STW. It contains bit-
mapped control commands for the frequency
inverter. The control word can be used to control all
functions of the frequency inverter. The following
table shows its structure.

control information at a more accurate timepoint.
Controller enable terminal 28 (EN)/PNU 040

It is necessary to enable the controller before you can
start the frequency inverter. Controller enable is
controlled with terminal 28 as follows:
LOW = Controller inhibited
HIGH = Controller enabled
inverters, parameters can only be changed when the
controller is inhibited. With the DF4-34x it is also
possible to modify parameters with the controller
enabled.
If you use the optional LCD keypad DE 4-KEY-1,
terminal 28 and the RUN/Stop key are logically
connected in series. If you press the Stop key on the
keypad or connect LOW to terminal 28, the controller
cannot be started again until you connect HIGH to
terminal 28 and press the RUN key on the keypad.
If you have inhibited the controller using the LCD
keypad and then removed the LCD keypad, in order
to enable the controller again you must either:
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
switch the power off and on again, or

attach the LCD keypad again and press the
RUN key.
63
Control parameters
If you are controlling the frequency inverter with the

serial interface module, in addition to the hardware
enable with terminal 28, it is also necessary to select
the software enable.
Software enable (EN) is controlled with PNU 040 as
follows:
0 = Controller inhibited (NEN)
1 = Controller enabled (EN)
You can also enable the controller with the control word
STW (bit 9).
Flying restart option

Parameter PNU 142 is used to configure the start
options for the frequency inverter. The flying restart
option synchronizes a coasting motor with the
frequency inverter (e.g. after mains power interruption).
The frequency inverter determines the speed of rotation
of the coasting motor before applying power and then
accelerates/brakes the motor to the specified setpoint
using the configured acceleration/braking times.
If the controller is enabled through terminal 28, the
flying restart option will cause the motor to start
immediately (e.g. following mains power interruption or
a fault). If automatic start is inhibited, the frequency
inverter waits for a LOW/HIGH change before it applies
power to the motor.

Control parameters
Reversing the motor

Control terminals E3 and E4 are used to specify the
direction of rotation of the motor. According to the
terminal configuration (see parameter PNU 007)
specification of the direction of rotation is done with
or without protection against wire breaks (quickstop).
Warning!
For parameter values PNU 007 = 0 to 13 – no
protection against wire breaks – a wire break can
result in unintentional reversal of the motor.

E1 E2 E3 E4
0 to 13 *) *) *) LOW Clockwise
HIGH Counterclockwise
14 to 22 *) *) HIGH LOW Clockwise
LOW HIGH Counterclockwise
LOW Quickstop
HIGH HIGH The motor direction is not reversed. If the drive is
running, the signal which is applied first determines the
direction of rotation. If the power is switched on and E3
and E4 are HIGH, the controller does a quickstop.

07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
65
Control parameters
Frequency setpoint
The frequency setpoint is used to specify the
required motor speed.
For all models of frequency inverter, the maximum
output frequency is limited by the value of fmax
(PNU 011).

046 fSet 0.0 to 480.0 Hz (DF4-120) Frequency setpoint 0
0.0 to fmax Hz (DF4-34x)
With the DF4-34x series, entering a value greater

than fmax will cause the setpoint value to be
restricted to fmax. In the case of the DF4-120 series,
a higher value for PNU 046 is accepted, but the
output frequency is limited by the value of fmax.
Motor potentiometer function

Setpoint input using the motor potentiometer
function is only active for certain values of PNU 007.
Changes to the setpoint take place with the
configured acceleration and braking times.

E1 E2 E3 E4
10, 11, 12, 13, 21 LOW LOW *) *) Setpoint = 0 Hz
HIGH Decrease setpoint to fmin
LOW HIGH Increase setpoint to fmax
HIGH Maintain current value (freeze)

07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
66
Control parameters
The motor potentiometer setpoint is stored in a non-

volatile memory and is retained even after the
following events:
Switching off the power
Controller inhibit
TRIP messages
For the DF4-34x series, activation of the quick stop
function sets the motor potentiometer value to 0 Hz.
Motor potentiometer function in combination
with jog frequencies
Changes to the setpoint take place with the
configured acceleration time. For the DF4-120 the
deceleration time is applicable to the braking
process whereas for the DF4/-34x the quickstop
ramp time is used instead.
In the case of invalid inputs (e.g. E2=HIGH=up and
E3=HIGH=down) the frequency inverter decelerates
the motor to the setpoint 0 Hz.

E1 E2 E3 E4
22 *) *) HIGH LOW Decrease setpoint to fmin
LOW Clockwise
HIGH HIGH Counterclockwise
LOW HIGH LOW LOW Increase setpoint to fmax
LOW Maintain current value (freeze)
HIGH *) Accelerate/brake to jog frequency 1 (PNU 037)

07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
67
Control parameters
The setpoint configured with the motor

potentiometer function sets an upper limit to the jog
frequency value 1. If jog frequency 1 is configured
higher than the current motor potentiometer
setpoint, the frequency inverter only accelerates to
the motor potentiometer setpoint. If the jog
frequency 1 is smaller than the current motor
potentiometer setpoint, the frequency inverter
accelerates or decelerates to the jog frequency 1.
If the mains is turned off, the last motor
potentiometer setpoint is not stored; the new start
value is always 0 Hz.
Jog frequencies
You can configure three fixed inverter frequencies
(jog frequencies) with values between 0 and 480 Hz.

037 Jog frequency 1 0.0 to 480.0 Hz Preset speeds 20 Hz
038 Jog frequency 2 30 Hz
039 Jog frequency 3 40 Hz
Depending on the value of PNU 007, the signals on

terminals E1 and E2 (HIGH/LOW) are used to select
one of the 3 jog frequencies as follows:

E1 E2 E3 E4
3, 4, 5, 6, 9, HIGH *) *) *) Selects jog frequency 1. LOW signal returns the
14, 15, 20, 22 controller to the programmed standard setpoint.
0, 1, 2, 16 LOW LOW Controller returns to programmed standard setpoint.
HIGH Selects jog frequency 1.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
LOW HIGH Selects jog frequency 2.

HIGH Selects jog frequency 3.
68
Control parameters
The jog frequencies can be configured lower than

fmin;fmin is ignored in this case. However, the fmax
value applies to jog frequencies. If you configure the
jog frequency higher than fmax, the output frequency
of the frequency inverter is not allowed to exceed
fmax.
Analog setpoint input

The analog setpoint is applied to terminal 7 and 8.
Bridge S1 on the front of the frequency inverter is
used to configure the signal range of the analog
setpoint. There are 3 positions for the bridge as
follows:
5-6
5-6 for setpoint range 0 or 4 to 20 mA
3-4
3-4 for setpoint range 0 to 5 V
1-2
1-2 for setpoint range 0 to 10 V
As supplied by the factory, the bridge is inserted on

position 1/2, i.e. a setpoint range of 0 to 10 V.
In order to choose the setpoint range 4 to 20 mA, you
must set parameter PNU 034 to 1 in addition to
inserting bridge 5/6.

034 Setpoint range 0 Setpoint 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V or 0 to 20 mA 0
1 Setpoint 4 to 20 mA
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB

Control parameters
Quickstop –aQuick
Quickstop can be configured regardless of operating
mode with terminals E3 and E4 in conjunction with
the value of (PNU 007).

E1 E2 E3 E4
2, 4, 8, 9, 13 *) *) LOW *) Activate quickstop
14 to 22 LOW Activate quickstop with drive running
HIGH HIGH Activate quickstop when power is applied
DF4-120
For this frequency inverter series, if quickstop is
activated the frequency inverter brakes to 0 Hz with
the configured deceleration time. DC injection
braking is activated if f goes below 0.1 Hz.
DF4-34x
The DF4-34x series frequency inverters have a
quickstop ramp in addition to the deceleration time
setting. In this case, if the quickstop function is
activated, the frequency inverter brakes to 0 Hz using
the quickstop ramp. The quickstop ramp time is
configured with PNU 105. The factory setting is 5 s
(range 0 to 999 s).
The error signal OU is output if the ramp time is too
short and the signal disable is set automatically.
DC injection braking is activated when the speed
drops below the configured value (PNU 019,
threshold for automatic DC injection brake).
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
70
Control parameters
DC injection brake
The DC injection brake is used to rapidly bring the
motor to a standstill without the use of a brake unit.
In this case, all of the brake energy is dissipated in
the motor as heat. You can indirectly configure the
braking current with PNU 036 (voltage for DC
injection brake).

Automatic DC injection brake

If the setpoint drops below the configured threshold
(PNU 019), the DC injection brake is applied
automatically for the holding time configured with
PNU 106. The frequency inverter then goes into
controller inhibit mode.
Only frequency inverters of the DF4-34x series

allow the setting of the threshold (PNU 019). For
the DF4-120 series, the threshold is fixed at
0.1 Hz.
External fault input

This function allows an external fault signal to be
input to the frequency inverter in order to trigger
controller inhibit. Please refer to the table for
information on the values of PNU 007 and the
terminal configuration which is necessary to trigger
the external fault function.
For frequency inverters of the DF4-120 series,

you cannot activate this function through the
terminals if you have chosen the operating mode
“setpoint input via interface module”
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
(PNU 001 = 3). There is no such limitation for

frequency inverters of the DF4-34x series.

Control parameters
Linear characteristic, quadratic characteristic

The linear characteristic has the most favourable
torque progression since it changes linearly over the
entire motor speed range. Quadratic characteristics,
i.e. a quadratic torque curve (often used for pumps
and fans), allow a reduction in the motor losses due
to reversal of magnetisation and a reduction in motor
noise. However, in the case of large moments of
inertia of the load, the motor may not be able to
provide the necessary torque.

Control parameters
Constant Umin boost/Automatic boost

A voltage increase (Boost, PNU 016) is needed to
provide a torque in the motor at frequencies close to
zero. With a constant Umin boost, the characteristic
starts from the specified value and increases linearly
up to the rated frequency fN (PNU 015). The motor
will have increased losses when idling (no load) since
this value is set for operation under load. This
measure is suitable for:
Applications with several motors
3-phase reluctance motors
3 phase sliding rotor motors
Special motors
Lifting drives and drives with high dynamic loads
(e.g. Positioning and feeding drives)
Automatic boost adapts the required voltage boost
to the load situation, resulting in lower losses. This
approach is particularly suitable for single drives
using standard motors.
The voltage boost Umin is set via PNU 016. The auto-
boost option automatically adapts the voltage boost to
the respective motor load.

Control parameters
Umin boost
The Umin boost parameter specifies voltage increase
at a frequency of 0 Hz. It can be adjusted between 0
and 40 %. The factory setting for DF4-120 depends
on the model concerned and for DF4-34x is 0 %.
The voltage increase set via PNU 016 adjusts the
U/f characteristic to overcome the resistive load of
the motor. This ensures that a high torque is available
even at a speed of 0 Hz.
Motor control mode setting of Umin

Warning!
Too high a value set for Umin will cause increased
thermal load and even destruction of the motor.
PNU 014 = Function of Umin

0, 1 Umin value is the boost factor of
the auto-boost function. The actual voltage increase
depends on the load.
This adjustment is useful with drives with high start-up
torques, drives with quadratic load torque and with
special motors
2, 3 The Umin value is used to correct the U/f characteristic
up to the rated frequency
4 The Umin value is ignored in the motor control mode
"Motor current control".
Motor current control

Motor current control provides a higher torque and
lower no load currents compared to U/f
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
characteristic control. The frequency inverter thus

has a higher dynamic response. This approach is
particularly suitable for:
76
Control parameters
single drives with heavy load changes,

single drives with high start-up torque
requirement,
highly-accurate speed control of 3-phase
standard motors in conjunction with slip
compensation.
Motor current control is not possible if:
several drives with different loads are connected
to the same frequency inverter,
several drives with different nominal power
ratings are connected to the same frequency
inverter.
additional inductance is being used in the motor
power circuit (motor chokes, motor voltage filters
etc.)
Attention!
Only switch from U/f characteristic control to
motor current control during controller inhibit.
U/f rated frequency
Parameter PNU 015 depends on the rating data

of the motor and the rated voltage of the
frequency inverter. If the characteristic is
incorrectly specified this can result in reduced
torque or overheating of the motor.

Control parameters
Maximum and minimum frequency

The maximum and minimum frequency do not have
an effect on the U/f characteristic but restrict the
range in which you can run the frequency inverter in
continuous operation. fmin is the lower limit and fmax
the upper limit.
Warning!
If you have set fmax too high, the motor may be
destroyed due to too high centrifugal forces.

If the frequency inverter starts from 0 Hz, the range

up to fmin (PNU 010) is not skipped but is progressed
with the set ramp time. You cannot adjust the drive
to a steady speed between 0 Hz and fmin; the
frequency inverter will then automatically accelerate to
fmin. The parameter fmax (PNU 011) is the upper limit
that should not be exceeded on any account. fN is
the rated frequency that is set with PNU 015. fmax is
used to normalise the setpoint and is always 100 %
setpoint (full scale of potentiometer), fmin is always
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
0 %. Depending on the setting of fmax the rated

speed of the motor is already reached with small
analog setpoints.
79
Control parameters
Contact the motor manufacturer if you want to

operate the motor with a higher speed than the
rated speed.
fmax limits jog frequencies that were

programmed too high to the value of fmax. Only
change fmax during controller inhibit.
In the case of DF4-120 and f2 240 Hz the

overcurrent disconnection can trip out
(such as with a low inductance motor).
In the case of DF4-34x and f2 300 Hz chopper
frequencies avoid a frequency of 8 kHz.
fmin only affects the analog setpoint value, not

the jog frequencies.

Rated motor current and motor cos are used to

optimise the motor current control (PNU 014 = 4). It
is only necessary to adjust these parameters if you
use 4-pole asynchronous standard motors which are
not suitable for the required load power. The factory
settings are appropriate for normal situations.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB

Control parameters
Ramp times
The ramp generator delays sudden changes to the
setpoint and ensures the defined acceleration or
deceleration of the motor.

012 a 0.0 to 999.0 s Acceleration time from 0 Hz to fmax 5s
013 –a 0.0 to 999.0 s Deceleration time from fmax to 0 Hz 5s
Under normal conditions, it is possible to operate

DF4 frequency inverters continuously at the current
limit (trip free function). In order to achieve this, the
frequency inverter automatically reduces the
setpoint in order to operate the drive at lower speeds
with a lower load. However, as a result of this, when
the current limit is reached speed changes can no
longer be carried out with the configured ramp times.
If the load does not decrease as fast as the speed
and if the times are configured too short, the
frequency inverter can output the fault OC5
(inverter overload).

Control parameters
Current limits
The frequency inverter is provided with a current limit
control which affects the dynamic behaviour under
load. The measured load is compared with the
configured values for a driving load (PNU 022) and
for the generative load (PNU 023).
The ramp time is lengthened if the current limit is
reached during acceleration. If the current limit is
reached with increasing load and constant speed,
the frequency setpoint is reduced (10 Hz with
DF4-120 and 0 Hz with DF4-34x). If the overcurrent
continues to increase, the I2t calculation outputs an
overcurrent fault after a short delay.
If the frequency inverter reaches the generative
current limit, the frequency setpoint is increased until
the current returns below the set limit (to max. fmax).
The best current control is achieved when a brake
unit is connected or frequency inverters are
interconnected (group operation).
When using chopper frequencies 8 kHz, you

must reduce the current limiting (Derating for
higher chopper frequencies). Refer to the values
of Imax for 60 s from the Appendix in the
Technical data.

022 Imax 30 to 150 % Current limit motor mode 150 %
023 ImaxGen 30 to 110 % Current limit generator mode 80 %
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
Slip compensation
When the drive is loaded, the motor slip increases,
resulting in a decrease in motor speed. The slip can
be partially compensated by configuring PNU 021
83
Control parameters
appropriately. The setting is valid for all motor control

modes (PNU 014).
In order to calibrate the slip compensation, operate
the motor without load and measure the motor speed
which is reached. Then operate the motor with load
and adjust the slip compensation to reach the same
speed again.
Attention!
If the value of this parameter is too high, this can
lead to an unstable behaviour of the frequency
inverter.

021 Motor slip 0 to 12 % (DF4-120) Compensation of variation of motor 0%
compensation 0 to 20 % (DF4-34x) speed with changing load
Chopper frequency (only DF4-34x)
The chopper frequency for the DF4-120

frequency inverter is set permanently to 9.2 kHz.
This parameter is used to adjust the switching

frequency of the chopper. You do not normally need
to change the factory settings.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
84
Control parameters
However, a change may be useful in the following

cases:
Chopper frequency 8 kHz:
improve torque behaviour with small setpoints
Chopper frequency 8 kHz:
Lower motor noise
Good sine wave shape of motor current with
applications requiring setpoint values over 150 Hz

Control parameters
Automatic chopper frequency reduction (PNU 144)

affects the behaviour of the frequency inverter at the
chopper frequencies 12 kHz and 16 kHz.
PNU 144 = Function
0 If
max is exceeded at chopper frequencies of
12 kHz/16 kHz, the controller is inhibited and the TRIP
signal is set. The motor coasts to a halt.
1 If
max –10 °C is exceeded at chopper frequencies of
12 kHz/16 kHz, the chopper frequency is automatically
reduced to 8 kHz. The drive continues to operate. The
reduced chopper frequency causes the motor to
generate more noise.
Oscillation damping (only DF4-341)

The parameter for oscillation damping optimises the
running behaviour of the motor. This parameter may
need to be adjusted for motors whose rated output
power is smaller than that of the frequency inverter;
e.g. in the case of motors with a large number of
poles and special motors. This parameter can also
be adjusted to minimise signs of resonance in the
frequency inverter.
This value cannot be transferred with the optional

LCD keypad DE4-KEY-1.

Temperature monitoring I2t

The I2t monitoring allows temperature monitoring of
self-cooled three-phase motors without the need for
additional sensors. Set the load limit via PNU 120
between 0 and 100 %. The factory setting is 0 %.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
95
Calibration
Specify a load limit for the motor. If this value is
exceeded for a longer period of time, the frequency
inverter switches off with the fault OC6.
The current limits set via PNU 022 and PNU 023 only
have an indirect influence on I2t calculation. They
avoid operation with the frequency inverter at
maximum load (PNU 056).
If the frequency inverter model is chosen incorrectly,
the rated output current can be much higher than the
rated motor current. Reduce the value for PNU 120
by the same factor as the incorrect dimensioning.

Attention!
The calculated I2t value is always reset to “0”
after the mains supply is switched on. The
frequency inverter does not have a thermal

The thermal trip is deactivated by setting
PNU 120 = 0.
PTC input terminals

The input is used for connecting PTC resistors to
DIN 44 081 and DIN 44 082. The PTC resistor is used
for recording motor temperature and incorporating it
into the monitoring of the frequency inverter. The

Installation in the
control cabinet
During assembly please consider the weight and

dimensions of the frequency inverter. Use the
necessary technical aids (lifting trolley and/or
crane for larger weights) and tools. Improper
handling and the use of incorrect tools can
damage the frequency inverter.

101
Installation in the control
cabinet
Attention!
Only install the frequency inverter as a complete
unit; do not dismantle.
Provide appropriate countermeasures in the
case of:
cooling air which is polluted with dust, fluff or
fat. This can cause short-circuits on the
printed circuit board (install filters, use
separate ventilation air supply),
aggressive gases. They can etch tracks on
printed circuit boards (install filters, use
separate ventilation air supply), and
dirty filters. They may cause overheating
(clean regularly)
In order to avoid overheating,
ensure that the cooling air supply and the cooling
exhaust air can flow freely without obstruction;
do not install other equipment which generates
large amounts of heat close to the frequency
inverter;
ensure that there is a clearance of 100 mm above
and below the frequency inverter since otherwise
the temperature of the cooling air can increase to
over 40 °C causing the frequency inverter to
switch off.
For DF4-341 frequency inverters, you must allow

a clearance towards the front of the unit of
50 mm.

Commissioning DF4-120
The frequency inverters are factory set to operate a
4-pole standard motor 230/400 V, 50 Hz of
appropriate power rating.
DF4-34x
The DF4-34x series frequency inverters are factory
set to operate a 4-pole standard motor of
appropriate power rating. The settings should not
need to be changed for standard applications.
Attention!
Make sure before switching on the frequency
inverter that the admissible ambient conditions
have not been exceeded and that no signs of
moisture are visible within the frequency inverter.
Moisture can condense if the frequency inverter
is stored in a cold place. If moisture has entered
the device, dry it out completely before use.
Attention!
The electrical installation and commissioning
work may only be carried out by suitably qualified
personnel. They are responsible for ensuring that
appropriate earthing and conductor protection is
provided for the incomers in accordance with
currently valid local and national regulations. The
motor must be protected against overload.
You must not carry out voltage breakdown tests

on any of the frequency inverter components.
Use a suitable measuring instrument (internal
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
resistance at least 10 k/V) to measure signal

voltages.
114
Switching on
Switching on Observe the following during installation:

when using the internal power feed, interconnect
terminals 7 and 39,
after switching on the power, the frequency
inverter is ready to operate after approx.
2 seconds,
specify the direction of rotation of the motor:
clockwise – terminal E4 LOW signal (0 to 3 V)
Counterclockwise – terminal E4 HIGH signal
(12 to 30 V),
specify the setpoint (terminal 8).
You can now enable the controller with a HIGH signal
on terminal 28.
If you want to change the parameter settings of

the frequency inverter for special applications,
this is done with the optional LCD keypad
(DE 4-KEY-1) or the optional serial interface
module.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB

Operation
Operation If you want to apply power to the frequency inverter

when the motor is already turning, activate the flying
restart option.
It is admissible to install switches or contactors in the
outgoing side (motor side) of the frequency inverter
for safety functions (e.g. for emergency stop).
However, if the drive is operating and the controller
is enabled, operating a switch on the motor side can
result in fault messages from the frequency inverter.
If the power is switched on and off cyclically, make
sure that the frequency inverter is not switched on
more than once every 3 minutes because otherwise
the internal switch-on current limiting circuit may
become overloaded.
The DF4-341 series frequency inverters have a
temperature-dependent fan control circuit.
The fans only operate when the factory preset
temperature has been exceeded.
When switching on the power with the controller
enabled, the fault message “OCx” (short circuit or
earth fault) may be shown on the display of the LCD
keypad (see chapter Diagnostics, fault messages)
All DF4 series frequency inverters must be

operated with appropriate mains chokes/mains
filters.

Warning!
All terminals of the frequency inverter can carry
dangerous voltages up to three minutes after
switching off the power; do not work on the
terminals or within the unit under any
circumstances before this period has elapsed.
Never open the unit when the mains power
supply is switched on. There is a danger of
serious injury or death if this precaution is not
observed.
Warning!

Warning!
Frequency inverters are electrical components for
use in industrial heavy current systems. During
operation, the components of the frequency
inverter and drive can carry dangerous voltages
and may also have moving or rotating parts and
hot surfaces. There is a danger of serious injury if
the safety precautions are not observed.
Warning!
The unauthorised removal of the necessary
covers, incorrect installation and operation of the
motor or frequency inverter can lead to failure of
the unit and serious injury to operating personnel
or damage to equipment.
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
117
Operation
Attention!
If you specify the direction of rotation of the
motor with values of PNU 007 = 0 to 13, a wire
break or failure of the control voltage can cause
the motor to reverse unintentionally.
Attention!
If the drive is not uncoupled from the mains
power supply when stationary (by using the
mains contactor/mains switch), a fault may
cause the motor to start unintentionally.
Attention!
If you use the flying restart function
(PNU 142 = 2, 3) with motor loads with low
moments of inertia and/or friction, the motor may
turn briefly or reverse direction briefly after
enabling the controller.
If the frequency inverter has been stored for more

than two years without use, the capacity of the
capacitors for the internal DC bus may be
impaired. Before using the frequency inverter,
connect it to the mains supply without load for
two hours in order to regenerate the capacitors.

7 LCD Keypad DE 4-KEY-1
The optional LCD keypad DE4-KEY-1 can be used to

configure the frequency inverter to your
requirements. The 5-position LCD display displays
current values and status messages. The
DE 4-KEY-1 keypad has 6 function keys for
modifying frequency inverter parameters. It stores
the parameters in non-volatile memory to allow the
parameters to be transferred to another frequency
inverter of the same series.
Parameters cannot be transferred between

DF4-120, DF4-340 and DF4-341 due to the
different parameter sets of the frequency
inverters.
Transferring parameters to different frequency
inverters is made particularly easy because the LCD
keypad can be removed and plugged into frequency
inverters while the motor is running.
The keys of the keypad can also be used to adjust
the setpoint and to inhibit and enable the controller.

Some values can be displayed but not changed
(e.g. motor current).
The absolute and relative values can only be
changed in discrete steps. In some cases the step
size has several values for the same parameter. The
step sizes cannot be chosen or changed by the user.
For example, the acceleration time a (parameter

The EMC limit values for line-conducted

interference are specified in EN 61 800-3, the
product standard for variable-speed drives. The
corresponding measuring procedures and limit
values are defined in EN 55 011, the product
standard for industrial, scientific and medical
equipment.
Limit value classes of EN 55 011

Frequency inverters belong to group 1 covering
the intentional generation and/or used line-
conducted RF energy required for the
functioning of the device.
Class A
Use in all areas except domestic environments
and those areas that are connected directly to a
low-voltage supply for domestic buildings.
Class B,
Use also in domestic environments and those
areas that are connected directly to a low-
voltage supply for domestic buildings.
Connection and design must meet EMC
requirements in order to observe the specified limit
values. Mains chokes and radio interference filters
must be used for connecting the equipment
connection to the mains supply.
Mains filters are a combination of mains choke and
radio interference filter. The functions of the
07/98 AWB-C823-1278GB
individual components are shown here. They also

reduce the amount of mounting and wiring required.
