Page 31 Derating Curves The maximum available inverter current output is limited by the carrier frequency and ambient temperature. The carrier frequency is the inverter’s internal power switching frequency, settable from 0.5 kHz to 12 kHz. Choosing a higher carrier frequency tends to decrease audible noise, but it also increases the internal heating of the inverter, thus decreasing (derating) the maximum current output capability.

Page 33: Introduction To Variable-Frequency Drives
Introduction to Variable-Frequency Drives The Purpose of Hitachi inverters provide accurate speed control for 3-phase AC induction motors. You connect Motor Speed AC power to the inverter, and connect the inverter to the motor. Many applications can benefit from the use of variable-speed drives in several ways:...
Page 34 The Hitachi inverter is a rugged and reliable device. The intention is for the inverter to assume the role of controlling power to the motor during all normal operations. Therefore, this manual instructs you not to switch OFF power to the inverter while the motor is running (unless it is an emergency stop).
Page 35 (see Braking” on page 5–6 for extended periods of time, the SJ300 may not be suitable (contact your Hitachi distributor). The inverter parameters include acceleration and deceleration, which you can set to match the needs of the application.
Page 36 1–16 Introduction to Variable-Frequency Drives Acceleration and deceleration settings specify the time required to go from a stop to maximum frequency (or visa versa). The resulting slope (speed change divided by time) is the acceleration or deceleration. An increase in output frequency uses the accel- eration slope, while a decrease uses the deceleration slope.
Page 37: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions What is the main advantage in using an inverter to drive a motor, compared to alternative solutions? A. An inverter can vary the motor speed with very little energy loss, unlike mechanical or hydraulic speed control solutions. The resulting energy savings can often pay for the inverter in a relatively short time.

Page 90 3–22 “A” Group: Standard Functions PID Control When enabled, the built-in PID loop calculates an ideal inverter output value to cause a loop feedback process variable (PV) to move closer in value to the setpoint (SP). The current frequency command serves as the SP. The PID loop algorithm will read the analog input for the process variable (you specify either current or voltage input) and calculate the output.
Page 91 Automatic The automatic voltage regulation (AVR) feature keeps the inverter output voltage at a relatively constant amplitude during power input fluctuations. This can be useful if the installa- Voltage tion is subject to input voltage disturbances. However, the inverter cannot boost its motor Regulation (AVR) output to a voltage higher than the power input voltage.

Page 140 4–2 Introduction Introduction The previous material in Chapter 3 gave a reference listing of all the programmable functions of the inverter. We suggest that you first scan through the listing of inverter functions to gain a general familiarity. This chapter will build on that knowledge in the following ways: 1.
Page 141: Operating Procedures
Otherwise, it may cause injury to personnel. WARNING: If the power supply is cut OFF for a short period of time, the inverter may restart operation after the power supply recovers if the Run command is active. If a restart may pose danger to personnel, so be sure to use a lock-out circuit so that it will not restart after power recovery.
Page 142: Optional Controlled Decel And Alarm At Power Loss
4–4 Optional Controlled Decel and Alarm at Power Loss Optional Controlled Decel and Alarm at Power Loss With the default SJ300 inverter configuration, a sudden power loss will cause the inverter to shut down immediately. If running at the time, the motor and load will coast to a stop. And without power, the inverter’s alarm output will not activate.
Page 143 Follow the steps to implement the wiring change shown in the previous diagram. 1. Remove the 2-wire jumper J51 (terminals [R0] and [T0] to connector J51). 2. Procure several inches of multi-strand 20 AWG (0.5mm 3. Connect a wire to terminal [R0] that is long enough to connect to terminal [P] (do not connect to [P] yet).
Page 144 4–6 Optional Controlled Decel and Alarm at Power Loss The timing diagram below shows a power loss scenario and the related parameter settings. During the controlled deceleration the inverter itself acts as a load to decelerate the motor. With either a high-inertia load or a short deceleration time (or both), it is possible that the inverter impedance will not be low enough to continue linear deceleration and avoid an over-voltage condition on the DC bus.
Page 145: Connecting To Plcs And Other Devices
Connecting to PLCs and Other Devices Hitachi inverters (drives) are useful in many types of applications. During installation, the inverter keypad (or other programming device) will facilitate the initial configuration. After installation, the inverter will generally receive its control commands through the control logic terminals or serial interface from another controlling device.

Page 151 Multi-Speed The inverter can store up to 16 different fixed target frequencies (speeds) in parameters A020 to A035. Binary inputs select the speed through four of the intelligent terminals configured as Select binary-encoded inputs CF1 to CF4 per the table. These can be any of the eight inputs, and in any order.

Page 153 The Bit Operation method of speed control uses up to seven intelligent inputs to select from up to eight speeds. Since the all-switches-OFF combination selects the first speed, you only need N-1 switches to select N speeds. With Bit Operation speed control, only one input is normally active at a time.
Page 154 4–16 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Jogging The Jog input [JG] is used to command the motor to rotate slowly in small increments Command for manual operation. The speed is limited to 10 Hz. The frequency for the jogging operation is set by parameter A038. Jogging does not use an acceleration ramp.
Page 155 External Signal When the terminal [DB] is turned ON, the DC braking [DB] feature is enabled. Set the for DC Injection following parameters when the external DC Braking braking terminal is to be used: • A053 – DC braking delay time setting. The range 0.0 to 5.0 seconds.
Page 156 4–18 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Set Second or If you assign the [SET] or [SET3] functions to an intelligent input terminal, you can select between two or three sets of motor parameters. You may assign one or both of these functions. Third Motors These second and third parameters store alternate sets of motor characteristics.
Page 157 Two-stage When terminal [2CH] is turned ON, the inverter changes the rate of acceleration and Acceleration and deceleration from the initial settings (F002 Deceleration and F003) to use the second set of accelera- tion/deceleration values. When the terminal is turned OFF, the inverter is returned to the original acceleration and deceleration time (F002 acceleration time 1, and F003 decel- eration time 1).
Page 158 4–20 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Free-run Stop When the terminal [FRS] is turned ON, the inverter turns OFF the output and the motor enters the free-run state (coasting). If terminal [FRS] is turned OFF, the output resumes sending power to the motor if the Run command is still active. The free-run stop feature works with other parameters to provide flexibility in stopping and starting motor rotation.
Page 159 External Trip When the terminal [EXT] is turned ON, the inverter enters the trip state, indicates error code E12, and stops the output. This is a general purpose interrupt type feature, and the meaning of the error depends on what you connect to the [EXT] terminal. Even if [EXT] is turned OFF, the inverter remains in the trip state.
Page 160 4–22 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Unattended Start If the Run command is already present when power is turned ON, the inverter starts running immediately after powerup. The Unattended Start Protection (USP) function prevents that Protection automatic startup, so that the inverter will not run without outside intervention. When USP is active, there are two ways to reset an alarm and resume running: 1.
Page 161: Power Source
Commercial The commercial power source switching function is useful in systems with excessive starting torque requirements. This feature permits the motor to be started “across the line,” sometimes Power Source called a bypass configuration. After the motor is running, the inverter takes over to control the Switching speed.
Page 162 4–24 Using Intelligent Input Terminals In the previous timing diagram, when the motor has been started across the line, Mg2 is switched OFF and Mg3 is switched ON. With the Forward command to the inverter already ON, the [CS] terminal is switched ON and relay Mg1 contacts close. The inverter will then read the motor RPM (frequency matching).
Page 163 Software Lock When the terminal [SFT] is turned ON, the data of all the parameters and functions (except the output frequency, depending on the setting of B031) is locked (prohibited from editing). When the data is locked, the keypad keys cannot edit inverter parameters. To edit parameters again, turn OFF the [SFT] terminal input.
Page 164 4–26 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Analog Input The [AT] terminal operates in conjunction with parameter setting A005 to determine the analog input terminals that are enabled for current or voltage input. Setting A006 determines whether Current/Voltage the signal will be bipolar, allowing for a reverse direction range. Note that current input signal Select cannot be bipolar and cannot reverse direction (must use [FW] and [RV] command with current input operation).
Page 165 Reset Inverter The [RS] terminal causes the inverter to execute the reset operation. If the inverter is in Trip Mode, the reset cancels the Trip state. When the signal [RS] is turned ON and OFF, the inverter executes the reset operation.
Page 166 4–28 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Thermistor Motors that are equipped with a thermistor can be protected from overheating. Input terminal [TH] is dedicated to sense a thermistor resistance. The input can be set up (via B098 and B099) Thermal to accept a wide variety of NTC or PTC type thermistors. Use this function to protect the motor Protection from overheating.
Page 167 Three-wire The 3-wire interface is an industry standard motor control interface. This function uses two inputs for momentary contact start/stop control, and a third for selecting forward or reverse Interface direction. To implement the 3-wire interface, assign 20 [STA] (Start), 21 [STP] (Stop), and 22 Operation [F/R] (Forward/Reverse) to three of the intelligent input terminals.
Page 168 4–30 Using Intelligent Input Terminals PID ON/OFF The PID loop function is useful for controlling motor speed to achieve constant flow, pressure, temperature, etc. in many process applications. The PID Disable function temporarily suspends and PID Clear PID loop execution via an intelligent input terminal. It overrides the parameter A071 (PID Enable) to stop PID execution and return to normal motor frequency output characteristics.
Page 169 Internal Speed When sensorless vector control, 0Hz sensorless vector control, or vector control with sensor is selected for the control method, the Control Gain Switching function selects between two sets Loop Gain of gains in the internal speed loop. These gains are used in proportional and integral compensa- Settings tion.
Page 170 4–32 Using Intelligent Input Terminals The speed control mode is normally proportional- integral compensation (PI), which attempts to keep the deviation between the actual speed and speed command equal to zero. You can also select proportional (P) control function, which can be used for droop control (i.e.

Page 172 4–34 Using Intelligent Input Terminals Force Operation This function permits a digital operator interface to override the Run command source setting (A002) when it is configured for a source other than the operator interface. When the [OPE] from Digital terminal is ON and the operator interface gives a Run command, the inverter uses the standard Operator output frequency settings to operate the motor.
Page 173 Overload The inverter constantly monitors the motor current during acceleration, deceleration, and constant speed. If the inverter reaches the overload restriction level, it adjusts the output Restriction frequency automatically to limit the amount of overload. This function prevents an over-current trip by inertia during rapid acceleration or large changes in load at constant speed.
Page 174 4–36 Using Intelligent Input Terminals The figure below shows the operation during an overload restriction event. The overload restriction level is set by B022 and B025. The overload restriction constant is the time to decel- erate to 0Hz from maximum frequency. When this function operates, the acceleration time will be longer than the normal acceleration time.
Page 175 Torque Limit The Torque Limit function limits the motor output torque for sensorless vector control, sensor- less vector control 0Hz domain, or vector control with feedback. In the torque limit function, the following operational modes are available (selected by B040): 1.
Page 176 4–38 Using Intelligent Input Terminals The 4-quadrant operation mode for torque limiting (B040=00) is illustrated in the figure to the right. The instantaneous torque depends on inverter activity (acceleration, constant speed, or deceleration), as well as the load. These factors determine the operating quadrant at any particular time.
Page 177 External Brake The External Brake Control function enables the inverter to control external electromechanical brake systems with a particular safety characteristic. For example, elevator control systems Control Function maintain the brake on the load until the drive motor has reached a releasing frequency (point at which the external mechanical brake is released).

Page 180: Using Intelligent Output Terminals
4–42 Using Intelligent Output Terminals Using Intelligent Output Terminals The intelligent output terminals are programmable in a similar way to the intelligent input terminals. The inverter has several output functions that you can assign individually to five physical logic outputs. Along with these solid-state outputs, the alarm relay output has type Form C (normally open and normally closed) contacts.
Page 181 Run Signal When the [RUN] signal is selected as an intelligent output terminal, the inverter outputs a signal on that terminal when it is in Run Mode. The output logic is active low, and is the open collector type (switch to common).
Page 182 4–44 Using Intelligent Output Terminals Frequency Arrival The Frequency Arrival group of outputs help coordinate external systems with the current velocity profile of the inverter. As the name implies, output [FA1] turns ON when the output Signals frequency arrives at the standard set frequency (parameter F001). Outputs [FA2] through [FA5] provide variations on this function for increased flexibility, relying on two programmable accel/ decel thresholds.
Page 183 Frequency arrival output [FA1] uses the standard output frequency (parameter F001) as the threshold for switching. In the figure to the right, the inverter accelerates to the set output frequency, which serves as the threshold for [FA1]. Parameters F and F illustrate the hysteresis that prevents output chatter near the threshold value.
Page 184 4–46 Using Intelligent Output Terminals Overload When the output current exceeds a preset value, the [OL] or [OL2] Advance Notice terminal signal turns ON. The parame- Signal ter C041 (or C111, respectively) sets the overload threshold. The overload detection circuit operates during powered motor operation and during regenerative braking.
Page 185 Output Deviation The PID loop error is defined as the magnitude (absolute value) of the differ- for PID Control ence between the Setpoint (target value) and the Process Variable (actual value). When the error magnitude exceeds the preset value for C044, the [OD] terminal signal turns ON.

The relay contacts normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.O.) convention uses “normal” to mean the inverter has power and is in Run or Stop Mode.

SJ300 Series inverters can be configured to Power Failure / respond to these conditions in different ways. You can select whether the inverter trips or retries Under-voltage (restart attempt) when an instantaneous power failure or under-voltage condition occurs.

4–62 Analog Output Operation Analog Output Operation In the system design for inverter applications it is sometimes useful to monitor inverter opera- tion from a remote location. In some cases, this requires only a panel-mounted analog meter (moving-coil type). In other cases, a controller device such as a PLC may monitor and command the inverter frequency and other functions.
Page 201 To calibrate the meter reading, generate a full-scale output (always ON) at terminal [FM]. Then use parameter B081(gain setting from 0 to 255) to adjust the corresponding full-scale reading of the meter. For example, when the inverter output frequency is 60 Hz, change the value of B081 so that the meter reads 60 Hz.
