Real time clock built into the assistant control panel.
Real time clock option is already provided by some latest releases of competitors (e.g. Toshiba). Providing this in a control panel is a new idea that makes installation much easier for the customer.
Part of user’s manual built into the assistant control panel.
This idea is widely used in other equipment but not in drives yet. Reduces the need to read the manual and makes the product easier to use.

51. Assistants
Start - Up assistant guides the user through all essential settings to be done without going directly into the parameter list.
Maintenance assistant can set the drive to criteria to insert preventive maintenance.
Diagnostic assistant, is activated when a fault occurs.Gives suggestions to fix the system based on drive common sense.

52. Start - Up Assistant
Start - Up assistant guides the user through all essential settings to be done without going directly into the parameter list.
The user answers questions given by the drive, which will be set to the corresponding parameter.
Related topics : motor parameters, application macro, IO. PID setting and drive optimisation
the Start - Up assistant is activated in the menu edit mode.

53. Maintenance Assistant
Maintenance criteria can be set to signal the need for preventive maintenance.
Input maintenance value for maintaining controlled system are given in parameter group 29. Relay Output can be used to signalise the ‘need’ for maintenance.
Selectable maintenance criteria:
kWh
running hours
motor rotation (Mrev = Mega rotations)

54. Diagnostic Assistant Is activated when a fault occurs.
Gives suggestions to fix the system based on drive common sense.
Monitors : DC - bus voltage, speed, current, change of speed,…
e.g.: high DC - bus voltage and decelerating and power flow is from motor to drive : use brake resistors or increase deceleration ramp time.
Diagnostic assistant to speed up the problem solving situations.
Expert system that makes logical conclusions and proposals in fault situations. For example if overvoltage comes when drive is decelerating and power is flowing from the motor to the drive. Drive tells that ramp time is too short and proposes longer ramp time (or adding a brake resistor if this is not connected). Or if overvoltage comes the when drive is running steady speed and output is stable .Overvoltage from network, drive gives instructions to reset the drive and continues running (and ask if customer wants to set autoreset on). Includes similar proposals for other faults like for over current and earth fault.

55. Questions How many assistants are there in the basic control panel ?
How many analogue outputs are there in the ACS550 ?
How is the real time clock available ?

60. Drive size given in Amps!
ACS 550 Type Code
Not kVA!
Drive size given in Amps!
The type code follows the same format as the ACS 800 product
The same option codes used with the ACS 800 will be used with options for the ACS 550 when applicable
The ACS 550 uses current to indicate drive size. The US wanted HP and Europe wanted Kw and nobody wanted Kva
The A indicates amps and when the rating is below 10 amps it also indicates a decimal point
Amps is really what we should be using to select drives since that’s what we sell

61. Packaging ACS550 package includes : ACS550 drive
Assistant control panel (as standard), no panel or basic control panel (if ordered)
Mounting template for the wall mounted units
Fieldbus module (if ordered)
