Where and how to use

TIM foils are used to transfer the heat generated in the IGBT’s to the heatsink. Full instruc

tions on how to install TIM foils is described in document delivered with TIM IGBT spare part

kits. In R8i module it’s possible to use a mix of IGBT’s with thermal grease and TIM foils. In

parallel connected R8i modules it’s also possible to use a mix of modules using TIM foils and

thermal grease.

1.10.2022. when ordering the module through BOL Drives Configurator. Current industrial air

cooled ACS800 R7i & R8i module fixed codes are available until 31.12.2022 and are delivered

able only through BOL Drives Configurator starting 1.1.2023.

The input voltage range is 18 to 30 volt dc and the input current

source is 6 mA at 24 V. The inputs are divided into two individualy

isolated groups with eight channels and one voltage supervision

input in each group. Every input channel consists of current limiting

components, EMC protection components, input state indication

LED and optical isolation barrier. The process voltage supervision

input give channel error signals if the voltage disappears. 

The error signal can be read through the ModuleBus.

Features and benefits

• 16 channels for 24 V d.c. inputs with current sinking

• 2 isolated groups of 8 with voltage supervision

• Input status indicators
