Overview of 17S Internal Electronics, continued
Internal Power 
Section
The Internal power section of the 17S drive includes the following:
l
Power input: A rectifier bridge directly connected to the three-phase earthed 
supply system, integral power input filter and inrush current limiting circuit.
l
Motor power output: PWM current-controlled voltage source IGBT-inverter with 
isolated current measurement
l
Regen circuit: Dynamic distribution of Regen power between several drives on 
the same DC Link circuit. An internal Regen resistor is standard; optional 
external Regen resistors are available as required by your application.
l
DC Link voltage: 300...700 Vdc, nominal (900 Vdc, intermittent) and can be 
operated in parallel.

Capacitor 
Reconditioning
If the servo drive has been stored for longer than one year, then the DC Link 
capacitors will have to be reconditionned as follows:
Integrated Safe 
Electrical 
Separation
The 17S drive ensures safe electrical separation (in accordance with EN 50178) 
between the power input/motor connections and the signal electronics through the 
use of appropriate insulation-creepage distances and electrical isolation. The drive 
also provides soft-start characteristics, overvoltage and overtemperature detection, 
short-circuit protection and input phase-failure monitoring. When using BPH series 
servo motors in conjunction with Schneider’s pre-assembled cables, the drive also 
monitors the servo motor for overtemperature.
Keypad
The operation of the keypad on the front panel of the 17S drive is described in 
System Operation. These two keys can be used (as an alternative to using the PC) 
to enter the SERCOS address for the drive
Step
Action
1
Ensure that all electrical connections to the drive are disconnected.
2
Provide 230 Vac, single-phase power to connector XO
A
 (terminals L1/L2) on the 
servo drive for about 30 minutes to recondition the capacitors.
