Mitsubishi Electric FR S500E F.A.Q.

How do I perform a factory reset on the Mitsubishi Electric FR S500E?

To perform a factory reset on the FR S500E, turn off the power supply, then press and hold the 'PU' and 'STOP' keys simultaneously while turning the power back on. Hold the keys until the display shows 'InI' indicating the reset process is complete.

What are common causes of over-voltage errors on the FR S500E?

Over-voltage errors often occur due to power supply fluctuations, regenerative energy from the motor, or incorrect parameter settings. Check the power supply stability and ensure the braking resistor is correctly configured.

Can I use the FR S500E inverter for single-phase motors?

The FR S500E is primarily designed for three-phase motors. Using it for single-phase motors is not recommended as it may cause operational issues or damage the motor.

How can I troubleshoot a communication error between the FR S500E and a PLC?

Ensure that the communication cables are correctly connected and not damaged. Check the parameter settings for communication protocol compatibility and ensure both devices are set to the same baud rate and data format.

What maintenance procedures should be regularly performed on the FR S500E?

Regular maintenance should include checking the cooling fans for dust buildup, ensuring all connections are secure, inspecting the inverter for signs of wear or damage, and verifying that all parameters are set correctly.

How do I set the acceleration and deceleration times on the FR S500E?

Access the parameter settings and adjust the parameters 'ACC' for acceleration time and 'DEC' for deceleration time. Input the desired time in seconds and save the changes.

What should I do if the FR S500E inverter does not start the motor?

First, check the power supply and ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify that start/stop signals are correctly wired and that the motor is not in a fault condition. Ensure all settings and connections are correct.

How can I reduce noise interference from the FR S500E?

Install noise filters on the input and output sides of the inverter, use shielded cables for all connections, and separate power and control cables to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Can the FR S500E be used with multiple motors?

Yes, the FR S500E can control multiple motors, but it requires proper configuration. Ensure total motor current does not exceed the inverter's capacity and configure the parameters for multi-motor operation.

What are the steps to update the firmware on the FR S500E?

To update the firmware, download the latest firmware version from the Mitsubishi Electric website. Connect the inverter to a computer via the recommended interface, follow the updating instructions provided in the firmware package, and ensure the power remains stable during the update.
