Installing an Inovance servo drive involves several steps and considerations to ensure safe, reliable, and optimal performance. Here’s a detailed guide on how to install an Inovance servo drive:
Preparation
- Review the Manual: Before starting the installation, carefully read the product manual and safety instructions provided by Inovance. This will provide you with specific information about your servo drive model and any unique installation requirements.
- Check the Packaging: Ensure that the servo drive packaging is intact and not damaged. Inspect for any signs of water ingress, rust, or damage to the components. If any issues are found, do not install the servo drive and contact the supplier or manufacturer.
Selection of Installation Location
- Indoor Installation: Install the servo drive indoors in a location that is free from water, dust, and corrosive gases.
- Ventilation: Choose a location with good ventilation to prevent overheating. If possible, install a ventilation fan within the control box.
- Avoid Vibrations and Shocks: The installation site should be stable and free from vibrations or impacts that could damage the servo drive.
Mechanical Installation
- Mounting: Mount the servo drive vertically on a metal baseplate. Ensure that it is securely fixed and will not loosen or fall off.
- Spacing: If installing multiple servo drives in a single cabinet, ensure sufficient spacing between them for good heat dissipation and to avoid electromagnetic interference.
Electrical Installation
- Power Supply: Connect the servo drive to a stable power supply. If the servo drive shares the same power source with welding machines, electric discharge machining equipment, or other high-frequency interference devices, use an isolation transformer and active filter to reduce interference.
- Wiring: Use insulated wiring terminals and follow the wiring diagrams provided in the manual. Ensure that all connections are tight and secure.
- Grounding: Proper grounding is crucial for the safe operation of the servo drive. Follow the grounding instructions in the manual.
Safety Considerations
- Disconnect Power Before Servicing: Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance or repairs on the servo drive. Wait at least 10 seconds after disconnecting the power before reconnecting it to prevent damage to the drive.
- Avoid Direct Contact: Within one minute after disconnecting the power, avoid direct contact with the wiring terminals of the drive to prevent electric shock.
- Use Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, when handling the servo drive and its components.
Post-Installation Checks
- Inspection: After installation, visually inspect all connections and components to ensure they are properly installed and secure.
- Testing: Power on the servo drive and perform functional tests to ensure it operates correctly and meets your application requirements.
By following these steps and considerations, you can ensure a safe and successful installation of your Inovance servo drive. Remember to always refer to the specific manual and instructions provided by Inovance for your particular servo drive model.
