Introduction
This manual is intended to provide an introduction to the AutoMax™ Distributed Power
System. It begins with a description of how the Distributed Power System (DPS)
instruction manuals are organized. It then provides an overview of the hardware
components that comprise AC and DC Distributed Power systems and a short
introduction to Distributed Power System programming. A glossary of terms used in
Distributed Power systems and other AC and DC drive systems can be found in
Appendix A.
Figures 1.1 to 1.5 illustrate the components of typical Distributed Power SD/SF3000,
SA500, SA3000, and SA3100 drive systems. The instruction manuals that describe
the various parts of each system are listed in table 1.1.
This manual is not intended to provide operational instructions. Be sure to study the
appropriate Rockwell Automation instruction manuals before installing, operating, or
maintaining the equipment described in this overview.
1.1 Distributed Power System (DPS) Manual
Organization
The documentation that describes DPS drives is contained in separate binders. The
associated binder part numbers are shown in table 1.1. Regardless of drive type, each
binder will contain the following manuals:
• S-3005 DPS Overview
You are reading the DPS Overview manual. Its organization and contents are
described in section 1.0.
• S-3007 Universal Drive Controller Module Instruction Manual
The Universal Drive Controller (UDC) module manual provides mechanical and
electrical descriptions of the module. Module installation and replacement
procedures are also included. This manual does not describe how to configure or
program the UDC module.
• S-3009 Fiber-Optic Cabling Instruction Manual
The Fiber-Optic Cabling manual describes the optical serial link between the
Universal Drive Controller module and the Power Module Interface. This manual
also specifies the types of fiber-optic cables and connectors to be used along with
the recommended cable installation guidelines. Fiber-optic testing/troubleshooting
procedures are also provided.
The following manuals are also included in the binders, however, each manual is
tailored to describe the hardware and/or software features in detail for each drive
type. Table 1.1 shows the associated document part number for each drive type.
