4. LED Status Indicators (Front Panel)

LED1 (Red) – Fault

  • Off: Normal operation

  • On: Critical fault (overvoltage, overtemperature, watchdog)

  • Flashing 3 Hz: Brake error

  • Flashing 6 Hz: ESC safety trip (E‑stop/safety door open)

LED2 (Green) – Power OK

  • Off: No power / processor inactive

  • Flashing 1.5 Hz: DC bus <60 V

  • On: DC bus >60 V (ready for operation)


5. Safety Instructions

  • High Voltage Hazard: DC intermediate circuit up to 585 V.

    Wait at least 5 minutes after switching off for capacitors to discharge before maintenance.

  • Only qualified personnel may install or service this unit.

  • ESC Wiring: Dual‑channel wiring is mandatory for safety signals.

  • Do not open, modify, or bypass internal components or ESC safety circuits.

  • Ensure reliable PE connection for cabinet, KPS, and all drives.

  • Keep ventilation slots free; inadequate cooling causes overheating.


6. Installation & Wiring

  1. Mount vertically in designated KRC2 cabinet slot.

  2. Connect X1 to three‑phase mains (check phase sequence and PE).

  3. Wire X2 (DC+/DC−) to DC bus distribution rail (KSD1 X1).

  4. Connect X3 to 24 V DC control distribution.

  5. Attach battery cables to X4 (BAT+/BAT−) and brake resistor to BRK+/BRK−.

  6. Connect X5 IBS IN/OUT in daisy‑chain with KSD1 drives; wire ESC safety signals (dual‑channel).

  7. Tighten power terminals to 2.5 Nm.


7. Operation

  • Power‑On: Mains ON → internal charging → DC bus energizes.

  • Standby: Green LED2 ON (DC bus ready); red LED1 OFF (no faults).

  • Drive Operation: Supplies stable 585 V DC to KSD1 drives during motion.

  • Regenerative Energy: Dissipated via brake resistor (monitored by KPS/ESC).

  • ESC Safety Response: On E‑stop/safety door open → STO activates → DC bus cut <10 ms → red LED1 flashes 6 Hz.


8. Maintenance

  • Daily: Check LED status, fan operation, cable integrity.

  • Weekly: Clean fan and vents; remove dust.

  • Monthly: Retighten X1/X2/X4 power terminals (2.5 Nm).

  • Quarterly: Verify battery charging voltage and brake resistor resistance.

  • Annual: Inspect capacitors (bulging), fan wear, full ESC diagnostic via WorkVisual.


9. Common ESC Faults & Troubleshooting

  • LED1 Flashing 6 Hz: ESC safety trip → check E‑stop, safety door, or X5 SAFE wiring.

  • LED2 Flashing 1.5 Hz: DC bus <60 V → check mains, cabinet fuses, or KPS internal fuse.

  • LED1 On (Overvoltage): Mains too high, regenerative overload, or brake resistor missing/faulty.

  • LED1 Flashing 3 Hz: Brake error → check BRK wiring or resistor.

  • Overtemperature: Fan blocked, vents covered, or ambient >55 °C.
