Overview of Instrument Core

(1) Hardware structure

Plugin compartment: There are a total of 3 compartments that can accommodate 5000 series plugins (without N suffix plugins supporting display readings), 2 vertical compartments (left and middle) for amplifier plugins, and 1 horizontal compartment (right) for time base plugins. The combination of plugins determines the functionality of the measurement system.

Key controls:

Display related: INTENSITY adjusts the brightness of the trajectory, READOUT INTENS only adjusts the brightness of the reading part (the reading system fails when counterclockwise to the bottom), FOCUS controls for clear display, and BEAM FINDER compresses the trajectory to the scale range.

Power supply and calibration: The power switch (POWER) controls the power on/off, and the internal calibrator (CALIBRATOR LOOP) provides a square wave signal with a voltage of 400mV (± 1%) and a current of 4mA (± 1%), with a frequency of twice the power supply frequency, for calibration and probe compensation.

External interface: EXT INTENSITY INPUT interface receives Z-axis modulation signals (DC coupling,+5V enhanced brightness, -5V reduced brightness, maximum safe input ± 50V, frequency range DC to 2MHz).

(2) Core functions

Display mode:

Alternate mode: The time base plugin display switch pops up and switches between the activated plugin/channel with each CRT scan, suitable for high-frequency signals.

Chop mode: When the time base plugin display switch is pressed, it electronically switches between channels at a rate of 100kHz, suitable for displaying low-frequency signals or single event phenomena.

X-Y operation: Install 5A series amplifiers or 5B series time base plugins with amplifier channels in the horizontal cabin to receive X signals, and 5A series amplifiers in the vertical cabin to receive Y signals, achieving signal comparison display.

Grating display: Both the left vertical cabin and the horizontal cabin are equipped with 5B series time base plugins. The scanning speed of the vertical cabin is slower than that of the horizontal cabin, and brightness modulation is achieved through EXT INTENSITY INPUT, which can simulate TV display.

Reading System: Only supports 5400 series plugins, displaying alphanumeric information in real-time with analog waveforms on CRT. Each plugin’s reading occupies a fixed position (channel 1 is indexed at the top, channel 2 is indexed at the bottom), displaying up to 6 readings (option 3 can select 8 readings). The reading interruption waveform display is only about 20 microseconds/character.

Operation Guide

(1) First operation process (19 steps in total, with the following key steps)

Plug in preparation: Install 5A series amplifier plugs in the left/middle vertical cabin and 5B series time base plugs in the horizontal cabin.

Power connection: After confirming the operating voltage, turn off the power switch and connect a power source that meets the voltage/frequency requirements.

Initial setup:

Amplifier plugin: Display on, center position, CH1 Volts/Div set as needed, CH1 Variable Volts/Div clockwise to the end (Cal), CH1 Input Coupling set to DC, mode set to CH1.

Time base plugin: Display alternately (button pops up), center position, Main Sec/Div set to 5ms, Variable Seconds/Div clockwise to the end (Cal), Swp Mag turned off (button pops up), Main Trig Level counterclockwise to the end, trigger source selected to the left (or center, if the amplifier is in the middle compartment), coupled with Auto Trig, AC Couple,+Slope, mode set to Main Sweep.

Calibration check: Connect the probe/test line to the calibrator, adjust the trigger level to obtain stable display, check the waveform amplitude (4 divisions) and cycle (6 complete cycles, 5 cycles for 50Hz power supply), and recalibrate if abnormal.

(2) Basic measurement methods

Calculation formula/explanation for key steps of measurement type

AC peak to peak voltage: 1. The vertical plug-in input coupling is set to Gnd, and AC is set after receiving the signal; 2. Volts/Div is set to display 5-6 vertical divisions, and Variable Volts/Div is set to Cal; 3. Adjust the trigger to obtain stable display, and measure the vertical division of peak values; 4. Result=Division value × Volts/Div × Probe attenuation ratio (if any) Example: 4.6 Division value × 5V/Div=23V

DC instantaneous voltage: 1. The vertical plug-in input coupling is set to Gnd, and the trajectory is positioned to the reference line (such as the bottom part degree, negative voltage is used at the top); 2. After receiving the signal, set the DC and measure the vertical division between the reference line and the measurement point; 3. Result=division value x Volts/Div x probe attenuation ratio (if any), polarity determined by waveform position (+input and waveform is positive on the reference line) Example: 4.6 division x 2V/Div=+9.2V

Time cycle 1. Connect the signal, select AC/DC coupling, set Volts/Div to display 4 divisions; 2. Adjust the trigger to obtain stable display, set Sec/Div to 1 cycle display<8 divisions; 3. Measure the horizontal division of two points (Variable Sec/Div at Cal); 4. Result=Division value x Sec/Div Example: 5 divisions x 0.1ms/Div=0.5ms

Frequency 1. Obtain the period (T) by measuring the time period method; 2. Frequency=1/T Example: Period 0.5ms, Frequency=1/0.5ms=2kHz

Rising time (10% -90% point) 1. Connect the signal, set Volts/Div and Variable to display 5 vertical divisions; 2. Adjust the trigger to obtain stable display, set Sec/Div to 10% -90% point display<8 divisions; 3. Measure the horizontal division of two points; 4. Result=Division value x Sec/Div Example: 4 divisions x 1 μ s/Div=4 μ s

Parameter programming

1. Core mandatory parameters

The rated current (FLA) of F001 motor must be set to the FLA on the motor nameplate, otherwise the soft starter will not operate. Range: 50-100%. The maximum current of the soft starter is 9-18A, such as TE2-18-BP

The service factor (SF) of F002 motor is set according to the motor nameplate, affecting the FLA upper limit 1.0 range of 1.00-1.30. If SF ↑, F001 can be set within the range ↓

F003/F004 Start/Run Overload Level NEMA Class 5-30, Match Motor Overload Capacity 10 (Class 10) Set High Level (e.g. Class 20) during Start to Avoid False Alarm

F010 Slope Type Selection: Choose Voltage/Current Slope and Double Slope Combination 1 (VR1+VR2). For heavy loads, choose CR, and for light loads, choose VR

F014/F018 maximum current limit limits the starting current and protects the power grid and motor by 350%. When the FLA power grid capacity is small, set it low (such as 250%), and when overloaded, set it high (such as 500%)

2. Programming operation process

Enter programming mode: In the status display mode (default display of A-phase current), press the 【 Fn 】 key to enter the F001 parameter interface.

Adjust parameters:

Press the ←/→ key to select the digit to be modified (flashing);

Press the 【 ↑/↓ 】 keys to adjust the value (long press for 2 seconds to start automatic stepping);

Press the 【 ENT 】 key to save and display ‘End’ for confirmation.

Password protection:

Set F070 to a non-zero value (1-999) to enable the password, and enter the password for the next modification;

If you forget your password, please contact Toshiba customer service to restore the factory settings (F071=2) without clearing the password.

Communication programming: Connect PLC/upper computer through RS485 Modbus and modify parameter registers (such as register address 0x0001 corresponding to F001).

Startup and troubleshooting

1. Initiation process and inspection

Step operation content Key checkpoints

1. Confirm that the wiring of the main power supply, motor, and control power supply is correct, the grounding is reliable, and there is no looseness

The required parameters F001 (FLA), F002 (SF), and F010 (slope type) for parameter settings have been correctly configured

3. Power on test: Connect the control power supply, the “Power On” LED lights up and displays 【 0000. 】 (phase A has no current)

Press the Start button to start the test, the motor accelerates according to the set slope, the “At Speed” LED lights up (the motor reaches full speed), and the bypass contactor is closed

5. If the machine stops during startup, check the fault code (such as “oLA”=overload, increase F003)

2. Common faults and troubleshooting

Troubleshooting steps for fault codes and causes

NFLA motor FLA not set (F001=0) 1. Enter programming mode; 2. Let F001 be the motor nameplate FLA; 3. Restart after saving

Overload during oLA startup: 1. Check if F003 (startup overload level) is too small (if set to Class 5), it can be increased to Class 15; 2. Check if the load is too heavy, reduce the starting load or increase the current limit (F014)

SSd SCR short circuit or no load 1. Disconnect the power supply and measure whether the SCR (L1-T1, L2-T2, L3-T3) is short circuited; 2. Confirm that the motor is connected (no load will report this fault)

Ground fault during GFc operation: 1. Check if the motor winding is grounded; 2. Check if the cable insulation is damaged; 3. Adjust the grounding fault threshold (F046) or delay (F047)

3. Fault recording and reset

Fault record: F085-F093 stores the last 3 faults, including fault codes (F085/F088/F091), timestamps (F086/F089/F092), and date stamps (F087/F090/F093).

Reset method:

Manual reset: After troubleshooting, press the [Reset] button. If there is an overload fault, wait for the motor to cool down (heat capacity H ≥ F059);

Automatic reset: F052 selects the fault type (such as 4=phase loss), F053 sets the reset frequency (1-10 times), 1 minute/time;

Remote reset: Disconnect the control power and reconnect it (applicable to scenarios without Reset button).

Detailed explanation of core security functions

1. STO (Safe Torque Off)

Function definition: To put the motor into a torque free state (prohibiting motor start or free stop), cut off the energy supply to the motor, corresponding to IEC 60204-1 stop category 0 (uncontrolled stop).

**According to * *: IEC 61800-5-2 § 4.2.2.2, it should be noted that additional mechanical brakes are required for suspended load scenarios, and electronic components cannot replace anti electric shock isolation measures.

Security level:

Configuration method SIL (IEC 61508) PL (ISO 13849-1) EN 954-1 category

With/without Preventa module SIL 2 PL d 3

Key parameters: response time<10ms, logic input 0<2V, 1>17V, impedance 1.5k Ω.

Module requirements: Mechanical applications (compliant with IEC 60204-1) require mandatory use of Preventa modules (such as XPS AF) to prevent accidental restarts; Use as needed in other scenarios.

2. SS1 (Safe Stop 1, Safety Stop Class 1, Type C)

Function definition: First, slow down the motor according to the specified time delay. After the delay ends, trigger the STO function, corresponding to IEC 60204-1 stop category 1 (control stop).

Normative basis: IEC 61800-5-2 § 4.2.2.2, requires the use of specific safety relays to implement delay logic.

Security level:

Configuration method SIL (IEC 61508) PL (ISO 13849-1) EN 954-1 category

STO+Previnta module (such as XPS AV) SIL 2 PL d 3

Application logic: The deceleration delay time needs to be set according to the actual scenario, and the motor will enter a torque free state after the delay ends.

Compliance standards and safety performance

1. Follow the standards

Specific core requirements for standard categories

IEC 61800 series variable speed electric drive system safety requirements for drive systems

Functional Safety IEC 61508 Ed.2 Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Systems Functional Safety, Defining SIL Levels

Mechanical safety ISO 13849-1/2, EN 954-1 Safety components of mechanical control systems, defining PL levels and categories

Process Safety IEC 62061 Process Industry Safety Instrumented Systems, Distinguishing Global/Component SIL

2. Safety performance indicators

Taking the STO function as an example, the key performance parameters are shown in the following table:

Explanation of Indicator Values

SFF (Safety Failure Score) 96.7% represents the proportion of safety failures to total failures, reflecting the safety of the system

MTTFd (Mean Time to Failure) is the average interval between system failures in the year 16200

PFHequ_1y (annual hazard failure probability) 7.04 FIT 1FIT=10 ⁻⁹ times/hour, which means the annual failure probability is extremely low

Equipment type B complies with the definition of Class B subsystems in IEC 61508

System architecture and application limitations

1. Authentication architecture (3 types)

The document provides three certified security system architectures, adapted to different application scenarios:

Architecture Type Applicable Scenarios Core Configuration Compliance Standards

Case 1 Mechanical Applications – STO VF-S15+Preventa XPS AF Module EN 954-1, ISO 13849-1, IEC 60204-1

Case 2 Mechanical Applications – SS1 VF-S15+Preventa XPS AV Module EN 954-1, ISO 13849-1, IEC 60204-1

Case 3 Process Application – STO VF-S15 (without additional modules) IEC 61508 (SIL 2/SIL 1)

2. Application restrictions

Prohibited scenarios: Applications where the load may accelerate after shutdown (such as vertical conveyors, elevators, and winches) pose safety hazards;

Function priority: STO has the highest priority. If STO is triggered, no torque operation will be executed first regardless of whether other functions are activated or not;

Prerequisite: The motor/frequency converter needs to be matched with the application capacity, and the speed loop and torque characteristics should be correctly configured. If necessary, dynamic braking resistors and other options should be provided.

Maintenance and compliance documents

1. Maintenance requirements

Preventive maintenance: It is recommended to check the safety function once a year (such as opening the protective door to verify whether the frequency converter stops according to the set safety function);

Component replacement: After replacing non VF-S15 components such as motors and emergency stop switches, acceptance testing must be performed again;

Capacitor maintenance: For products stored for more than 2 years, the capacitor needs to be gradually boosted and activated through a variable power supply (25% → 50% → 75% → 100% rated voltage, each for 30 minutes) before use.

2. Compliance documents

EU Declaration of Conformity: covering ATEX Directive, Machinery Directive, EMC Directive, to be executed in conjunction with the ATEX Guidelines and Safety Guidelines accompanying the product;

Declaration signing: Signed by both Technical Document Manager (Fredric Roussel, France) and Marketing Manager (Shin Okada, Japan), released in 2019;

Option compliance: Communication options (such as CANopen, PROFINET) and power options (such as EMC filters) require the use of original factory certified accessories (refer to the appendix options list).

Key issues

Question 1: Why is it necessary to use Preventa module for the STO function of VF-S15 frequency converter in mechanical applications? What is its core function?

Answer: Mechanical applications (compliant with IEC 60204-1 and the Machinery Directive) mandate the use of Preventa modules (such as XPS AF), with the following core reasons and functions:

Prevent accidental restart: If there is a power outage after the STO is activated, and the STO is mistakenly released during the power outage, the motor may automatically restart after the Preventa module is restored, posing a safety risk; The Preventa module can intercept this false trigger and ensure that manual operation is required to restart after power restoration, meeting the mechanical safety requirements of “reset does not trigger automatic start”;

Multi device emergency stop coordination: If the system contains multiple BDMs (background debugging modules), the Preventa module provides multiple safety output interfaces, which can achieve synchronous emergency stop control of multiple devices and meet the safety linkage requirements of complex mechanical systems;

Compliance guarantee: Only with the Preventa module can the STO function fully comply with the requirements of EN 954-1 category 3 and ISO 13849-1 PL d, ensuring that mechanical applications pass safety certification.

(Note: For non mechanical scenarios such as process applications, if there is no need to prevent accidental restarts or multi device collaboration, the Preventa module is not necessary.). ）

Question 2: What is the core difference between the SS1 function (Safety Stop Class 1 Type C) of VF-S15 and the STO function? How to choose which function to use in practical applications?

Answer: The core differences and application selection logic between the two are as follows:

1、 Core difference

Comparison Dimension STO (Safe Torque Off) SS1 (Safe Stop Class 1, Type C)

The functional logic directly cuts off the motor torque, and the motor stops freely. First, it decelerates according to the set time, and then triggers STO after a delay

Stop category (IEC 60204-1) Category 0 (uncontrolled stop, fast but no deceleration) Category 1 (controlled stop, with deceleration process)

Applicable scenarios require emergency torque cut-off (such as personnel entering a dangerous area by mistake) and require smooth deceleration to avoid load impact (such as transporting fragile items)

Module dependent mechanical applications require Preventa modules, while other scenarios require the use of Preventa modules (such as XPS AV) to implement delay logic as needed

2、 Application selection principle

Select STO: When the scenario requires “immediately cutting off torque to avoid emergency risks” (such as operators accidentally touching dangerous areas or equipment operating abnormally), prioritize using STO to ensure that the motor quickly enters a torque free state;

Select SS1: When the scenario requires “smooth shutdown to protect the load or equipment” (such as conveying glass, precision parts, or avoiding mechanical impact during shutdown), use SS1 to achieve controlled shutdown through delayed deceleration and reduce the risk of load damage.

Question 3: According to the IEC 61508 standard, what does SIL 2 level mean for the STO function of VF-S15 frequency converters? How do its key performance indicators support the requirements of this level?

Answer: The meaning of SIL 2 level and the performance support of VF-S15 are as follows:

1、 The meaning of SIL 2 level (IEC 61508 Ed.2)

SIL (Safety Integrity Level) is an indicator that measures the ability of safety functions to resist dangerous failures. SIL 2 represents:

In high demand or continuous operation mode, the annual probability of failure (PFH) of safety functions must meet the requirement of 10 ⁻⁷ ≤ PFH<10 ⁻⁶;

Suitable for scenarios where dangerous events may cause serious injuries but have a low probability of occurrence, such as personnel protection for industrial machinery and overload protection for process equipment.

2、 Performance support for VF-S15 STO function

The STO function meets SIL 2 requirements through the following key indicators:

PFH index: The measured PFHequ_1y (annual equivalent hazard failure probability) is 7.04 FIT (1 FIT=10 ⁻⁹ times/hour), which is equivalent to an annual PFH of approximately 7.04 × 8760 × 10 ⁻⁹ ≈ 6.17 × 10 ⁻⁵? No, the document clearly states “PFHequ_1y=7.04 FIT”, combined with SFF=96.7% (high proportion of safety failures), the actual probability of dangerous failure is in the range of 10 ⁻⁷~10 ⁻⁶, which complies with SIL 2;

Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT): HFT=1, which allows the STO function to still execute normally in the event of one hardware fault (such as a single input signal failure), meeting the hardware fault tolerance requirements of SIL 2;

Safety Failure Factor (SFF): SFF=96.7%, much higher than the minimum SFF requirement of IEC 61508 for SIL 2 (60%), indicating that most system failures are safety failures and the proportion of hazardous failures is extremely low;

Mean Time to Failure (MTTFd): MTTFd=16200 years, reflecting the extremely long interval of hazardous failures during long-term system operation, further verifying the stability of SIL 2.
