Product information

The ER41 is available as a control cabinet version ER41 K with protection class IP21 or IP23, and as a protected version ER41 G with protection class IP54 or IP55. Depending on requirements, we supply the devices as V1 without load break switch or as V2 with integrated load break switch.

All devices are delivered ex works with painted circuit boards. From 90 kW upwards, tinned copper rails for aggressive air are also included; these are optional for lower power ratings. This allows the ER41 to be designed to suit the environment and remain reliable even in continuous operation.

Frequently asked questions

to the ER41 frequency converter

A connection must be established between +24 and DI1 (clockwise rotation).
  1. To achieve electromagnetic compatibility, the inverter must be operated with a built-in or external RFI filter.

  2. When using shielded cables between the inverter and the motor, the shield must be connected to earth at both ends. Cable interruptions should be avoided as far as possible. If it is necessary to separate the cable, e.g. in order to install a motor contactor, then the cable shielding must be connected through as directly as possible. It is important to ensure that the lowest possible HF impedance is achieved.

  3. The shorter the cable, the lower the radio interference and leakage current. The maximum possible cable lengths must be taken into account.

  4. To avoid interference with the control inputs, control cables should always be shielded. The shield must be connected to the cable clamp provided on the inverter. If the shield is also connected to a control unit, ensure that the ground points are at the same potential.

  5. Control cables should not cross power cables if possible. Where this cannot be avoided, a right-angle intersection is recommended.

  6. Separate routing of control and power cables should be aimed for. If the cables have to be laid in parallel, e.g. on the same cable route, the greatest possible distance (> 20 cm) should be chosen.

  7. The shielding of the installed cables should have a low RF impedance if possible. Therefore, copper braiding is preferable to steel braiding.

  8. The HF contact resistance at the connection points between the shielding and the housing must be kept as low as possible. Dirt, paint and insulation residues on the housing and shielding in the area of the connections must therefore be removed. In principle, the cable clamps or crimp connections provided for this purpose should be used to connect the shielding. The use of earthing glands is advantageous.

  9. The shielding should be applied to the housing as close as possible to the cable terminals. Longer, free cable ends act as antennas.

  10. For unshielded cables, the cable cores should be twisted and output filters should be used.
  1. Select quick start
  2. There you will find several parameters, such as start-up time or high speed.

A BLEMO frequency converter can be controlled using a Siemens PLC via Profinet or Profibus-DP.
This requires an additional communication card, which you will find in the frequency converter catalog.
Please note that not all frequency converters support this bus communication.
Connection to Profibus-DP or Profinet is possible with the ER24 and ER41.

Minimum settings for bus operation (direct control of the QW addresses of the ER24 / ER41):

– First, set up the slave ER24 / ER41 xyz in the TIA Portal. Please install the GSD or GSDxml device file beforehand.
– Then select a telegram type in the HW configuration of the ER24 / ER41 and move it to the I/O field.
In this example, we are using telegram 102, which consists of 6 PZDs.
PZD stands for “process cyclic data.” PZDs are data that are to be exchanged cyclically.
This includes status words, target speeds, etc. (see image “EA assignment of PZDs”).

The following four channels are already preset and do not need to be changed. The result during operation can be seen in the “Observation table” image
– The first reserved QW of the PZD address must be used to send the control word (according to Drivecom standard: 16#0006, Stop 16#0007, Motor run 16#000F)
– The second double word sends the target speed (rpm).
– The first IW is read out to read the status word of the ER24 / ER41s frequency converter.
– The second double word is read out to read the current ACTUAL speed (rpm).

– The words should then be declared as variables (see image “Variable declaration”).
– In the frequency converter, the setpoint source fieldbus must be set (see image “Settings ER24 / ER41 setpoint source bus”).
– The addressing of the ER24 / ER41 in the bus must also be set. This naturally differs depending on the bus type.
For Profibus-DP, the address is set to 1-126 (see image “Settings Profibus Addressing ER24 / ER41”),
for Profinet, an address is assigned via PLC: DCP or an address setting in the ER24 / ER41 menu: fixed IP (see image “Settings Profinet Addressing ER24 / ER41“).

In principle, it is possible to operate a low-power motor with a higher-power frequency converter.
This depends on the ratio between the motor and converter power.
Experience shows that the ratio should not exceed 1:4.

For example, it is not recommended to operate a 0.75 kW motor with a 30 kW BLEMO frequency converter.
This combination can be used for testing purposes, but the motor phase monitoring must be deactivated.
