2. Key Features

• ACS880 VFD Exclusivity: Custom-engineered for ABB ACS880 series VFDs—ensures plug-and-play integration with ACS880 control boards (SDCS-CON-2) and power modules; eliminates compatibility risks from generic excitation plates (e.g., current regulation errors, communication timeouts).
• Precise Excitation Control: ±1% current regulation accuracy and 0A~10A adjustable range provide stable magnetic field strength—critical for synchronous motor torque optimization (e.g., steel mill rolling mills, high-power compressors) where torque consistency directly impacts product quality.
• Field Weakening Support: Enables synchronous motor operation above base speed by reducing excitation current to 10% of rated value—ideal for applications requiring variable speed (e.g., centrifugal compressors, pumps) where high-speed operation is needed for increased flow/pressure.
• Comprehensive Fault Protection: Integrates overcurrent, overvoltage, field open-circuit, and temperature protection—shuts down excitation safely in abnormal conditions (e.g., field winding short circuit) to prevent motor damage and unplanned downtime.
• 3kVrms High Isolation: Industrial-grade isolation between excitation circuits and VFD power systems protects sensitive control electronics from ground loops and voltage transients (common in factory power grids)—ensures stable excitation even in electrically noisy environments (e.g., near welding equipment).
• Real-Time Temperature Monitoring: PT100 input for field winding temperature detection triggers warnings (amber LED) and shutdowns (red LED) at critical thresholds—prevents thermal damage to expensive synchronous motor windings.
• Intuitive Diagnostics: On-board LEDs for power, excitation status, temperature, and faults enable technicians to quickly identify issues (e.g., field weakening activation, overheating) without specialized tools, reducing troubleshooting time.

3. Application Fields

• ACS880-Driven Synchronous Motor Control: Primary application—powers excitation for ACS880-connected synchronous motors in:
  • Steel & Metals Industry: Supplies excitation current to synchronous motors driving rolling mill stands (ACS880 VFDs); precise current regulation ensures consistent rolling torque, reducing metal sheet thickness variations.
  • Chemical & Petrochemical Plants: Controls excitation for synchronous motors powering large centrifugal compressors (e.g., for ethylene production); field weakening enables speed adjustment to match process pressure demands.
  • Power Generation: Provides excitation for synchronous motors in pump storage power plants (water injection pumps); stable excitation improves power factor and grid compatibility.
• High-Power Industrial Pumps & Fans: Supports efficient motor operation in:
  • Water & Wastewater Treatment: Drives excitation for synchronous motors powering large axial flow pumps (ACS880 VFDs); temperature monitoring prevents winding damage from prolonged high-load operation.
  • Cement Manufacturing: Controls excitation for synchronous motors driving kiln exhaust fans; field weakening adjusts fan speed to match kiln temperature, optimizing energy efficiency.
• Heavy-Duty Motion Systems: Enables reliable performance in:
  • Mining: Supplies excitation for synchronous motors powering mine hoists (ACS880 VFDs); overcurrent protection withstands dynamic loads during ore lifting, preventing system shutdowns.
  • Marine Propulsion: Provides excitation for synchronous motors in ship propulsion systems (offshore support vessels); wide temperature range (-10℃~+60℃) adapts to harsh marine environments.

4. Precautions

• ACS880 VFD Exclusivity: Use exclusively with ABB ACS880 series VFDs and synchronous motors. Never install in older ABB VFDs (e.g., ACS550) or non-ABB systems—electrical mismatches (e.g., control signal voltage, isolation levels) will damage the plate, VFD, or motor.
• High-Voltage Safety:
  • Disconnect the ACS880 VFD from main power and discharge the DC bus (wait 15 minutes) before handling the SDCS-FEX-31—excitation circuits can retain high voltage (up to 300V DC), posing severe shock risks.
  • Never touch the field winding terminals during operation—they carry dangerous excitation current.
• Excitation Parameter Configuration:
  • Configure excitation current limits, field weakening thresholds, and temperature setpoints via ABB Drive composer Pro software (linked to ACS880 VFD). Incorrect settings (e.g., excessive current limits) cause motor overheating or plate failure.
  • Match the plate’s excitation current range (0A~10A) to the synchronous motor’s rated field current—using a plate with insufficient current capacity leads to under-excitation and reduced motor torque.
• Wiring Guidelines:
  • Use high-temperature, high-voltage cables (rated for ≥300V DC, 105℃) for field winding connections; undersized cables increase resistance, leading to voltage drops and inaccurate current regulation.
  • Connect the PT100 temperature sensor correctly (3-wire configuration) to ensure accurate temperature readings—incorrect wiring causes false temperature alarms or missed overheating events.
• Environmental Controls:
  • Install the ACS880 VFD in a well-ventilated cabinet with ambient temperature ≤60℃. Avoid direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources (e.g., motor drives)—high temperatures reduce excitation current accuracy and shorten plate service life.
  • Keep the plate’s ventilation slots free of dust (clean with compressed air quarterly)—blocked cooling surfaces cause overheating (indicated by red TEMP LED).
• Maintenance Checks: Inspect semi-annually (with VFD powered off):
  • Verify all LEDs show normal status (PWR green, EXC green, TEMP green, FLT off) during operation.
  • Check field winding connections for tightness and corrosion—loose connections cause field current fluctuations; corroded terminals increase resistance.
  • Measure excitation current accuracy via Drive composer Pro: Compare set current (e.g., 5A) to actual current (should be within ±1%); adjust calibration if needed.
  • Test fault responses by simulating a field open circuit (disconnect one field wire briefly)—confirm the FLT LED illuminates and the VFD triggers a shutdown
