    • Mechanically/electrically compatible

6. Typical Applications

  • Conveyor lines, sortation systems

  • Packaging machinery, material handling

  • Fans, pumps, general automation

  • Retrofit of older B‑series systems

7. Installation & Wiring

7.1 Mechanical

  • Mount directly to SEW DRS/DRE/DRP motor flange

  • Torque mounting screws to 3.5 Nm

  • Keep heatsink clear for airflow

7.2 Electrical

  • Power: L1/L2/L3/PE → 3×380–500 V AC, solid earth

  • Motor: U/V/W/PE → shielded cable to motor

  • Control: 24 V DC, run/stop, direction

  • Communication: RS‑485 for Modbus RTU

  • EMC: Add external Class A filter near power input

8. Commissioning

  1. Verify all wiring and insulation

  2. Set motor parameters, I/O logic, comm address via DIP switches

  3. Power on: steady green = standby

  4. Low‑speed test run; check noise/vibration, then ramp to speed

9. Status & Faults

9.1 LED

  • Steady green: Ready

  • Flashing green: Running

  • Flashing red: Fault

9.2 Common Faults

  • Overcurrent: Short circuit, overload, motor fault

  • Overvoltage: Supply surge, regenerative voltage

  • Overtemperature: Blocked cooling, high ambient

  • Comm error: Bad RS‑485 cable, wrong address

10. Maintenance

  • Clean heatsink every 6 months

  • Check terminal tightness and cable condition

  • Replace seals if damaged (preserve IP55)

11. Storage & Disposal

  • Store dry, clean, within temp range

  • Dispose per WEEE; recycle metals, plastics, electronics
