3 System Integration3.1 IntroductionThis chapter describes the considerations necessary tointegrate the frequency converter into a system design.The chapter is divided into 4 sections:• Input into the frequency converter from themains side including:- Power.- Harmonics.- Monitoring.- Cabling.- Fusing.- Other considerations (chapter 3.2 MainsInput).• Output from the frequency converter to themotor including:- Motor types.- Load.- Monitoring.- Cabling.- Other considerations(chapter 3.3 Motors).• Integration of the frequency converter input andoutput for optimal system design including:- Converter/motor matching.- System characteristics.- Other considerations(chapter 3.4 Frequency Converter/OptionsSelections).• Ambient operating conditions for the frequencyconverter including:- Environment.- Enclosures.- Temperature.- Derating.- Other considerations(chapter 3.6 Ambient Conditions).3.1.1 FCM 106 - Integrated FrequencyConverter and MotorThe Danfoss VLT® frequency converter integrated onto theasynchronous or permanent magnet motor enables speedcontrol in a single unit.The FCM 106 is a compact alternative to a central solutionwhere the frequency converter and motor are installed asseparate units.• No cabinet is required.• The frequency converter is mounted directly ontothe motor, instead of connecting via the motorterminal box.• Electrical installation involves mains and controlconnections only. There is no need for specialdetails on wiring to meet the EMC directive, sincemotor cables are not necessary.Factory-set adaption between FCM 106 and the motorgives precise and energy-efficient control in addition toeliminating pre-setting on site.The FCM 106 can be used in standalone systems withtraditional control signals, such as start/stop signals, speedreferences, and closed-loop process control. It can also beused in multiple frequency converter systems with controlsignals distributed by a fieldbus.Combined fieldbus and traditional control signals withclosed-loop PI control is possible.System Integration VLT® DriveMotor FCP 106/FCM 10628 Danfoss A/S © 06/2016 All rights reserved.
