- Ensure that the device matches the specifications of your motor and application needs.
Mounting the ACS560
- Choose a suitable location: Mount the drive on a clean, dry, and vibration-free surface. The ambient temperature should be within the specified range (typically -10°C to +50°C).
- Proper ventilation: The ACS560 should be installed with adequate airflow to prevent overheating. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for air circulation.
- Mounting: The ACS560 can be wall-mounted or installed on a panel. Use the mounting brackets provided, ensuring that the drive is securely attached.
Wiring the ACS560
When wiring the ACS560 to the motor, follow the standard electrical safety precautions:
- Ensure that power is disconnected before starting the wiring process.
- The ACS560 drive is typically wired in a star or delta configuration, depending on the motor type and voltage rating.
ACS560 Wiring Diagram
The wiring diagram for the ACS560 can vary based on the specific application and motor setup. However, here is a basic wiring layout:
- AC Power Input: The drive receives power from an AC supply, typically three-phase, with a voltage range of 380V-480V.
- Motor Output: The ACS560 will then provide power to the motor, controlling the speed and torque according to the set parameters.
- Control Circuit: The control circuit includes connections to the control panel, start/stop buttons, external switches, and feedback devices like sensors.
- Grounding: Proper grounding is crucial for the ACS560 to ensure safety and effective operation. Always connect the ground terminal to a secure earth point.
A sample wiring diagram includes:
- L1, L2, L3: AC power input lines.
- U, V, W: Motor connections.
- X1, X2: Control terminals (start/stop switches, etc.).
- P1, P2, P3: Auxiliary terminals for feedback devices or additional controls.
- PE: Ground connection.

ACS560 Fault Codes and Troubleshooting
Fault codes provide insight into the drive’s operational state and can be used to troubleshoot problems. Below are some common fault codes and their meanings:
- F001 – Overcurrent Fault: The motor or drive has drawn too much current. Possible causes include incorrect motor wiring, faulty motor, or load overload. Remedy: Check motor wiring and ensure the load is not overbearing.
- F002 – Overvoltage Fault: The input voltage to the drive has exceeded the acceptable range. Remedy: Check the power supply voltage and ensure it is within the specifications for the ACS560.
- F003 – Undervoltage Fault: The drive has detected an undervoltage condition. Remedy: Verify the input voltage and check the power supply.
- F004 – Overheating Fault: The drive’s internal temperature has exceeded safe operating limits. Remedy: Ensure proper ventilation, clean the drive, and check for obstructions to airflow.
- F005 – Motor Overload: The motor is drawing excessive current or torque. Remedy: Check for motor malfunctions or incorrect parameter settings.
If a fault occurs, refer to the ACS560 manual for a full list of fault codes and suggested troubleshooting steps. Resetting the drive after addressing the issue is often necessary to clear the fault code.
