PTC thermistor input connection example
Built-in PTC thermistor of the motor can be input to the PTC signal (AU terminal).
⋅ For the terminal used for PTC signal input, assign the function by setting "63" in Pr. 184 AU terminal function selection
and also set the AU/PTC switchover switch to the PTC terminal function. (The initial setting is the AU terminal
function.)
⋅ If a motor overheat state is detected for more than 10s according to the input from the PTC thermistor, the inverter
shuts off the output and outputs the PTC thermal alarm signal (E.PTC).
⋅ The input specifications of the PTC thermistor
are shown on the right.
CAUTION
⋅ When the PTC signal was not assigned to Pr. 184 and the AU/PTC switchover switch was set to the PTC terminal function, the
function assigned to the AU terminal is always off. Reversely, when the PTC signal was assigned to Pr. 184 and the AU/PTC
switchover switch was set to the AU terminal function, a PTC thermal error (E.PTC) occurs since the function is always in a
motor overheat state.
⋅ When you want to input a current, assign the AU signal to the other signal.
⋅ When terminal assignment is changed, the other functions may be affected. Please make setting after confirming the function
of the AU terminal.
