3.1 Overview
The Control and Display Panel CDP 312 [Control Panel] is used
for parameter setting, for display of actual values and for drive
control in ”LOCAL” mode with series DCS 600 thyristor power
converters.
This Control Panel is equipped with 16 keys and a LC display
featuring 4 lines with 20 signs per line.
Panel Link
An electrical cable or an adapter serves to connect the CDP 312
Control Panel with the RS485 interface X33 or X34 situated on
the control board SDCS-CON-2 of the DCS 600 thyristor power
converter. Via this connection the Control Panel will receive all
information directly from the SDCS-AMC-DC board.
The bus protocol for transmission is MODBUS.
Mounting the
Panel
The CDP 312 can be handled in three different ways:
• Direct mounting on the thyristor power converter DCS 600;
the CDP 312 is plugged into the moulded part of the cover of
the converter and connected via an adapter of approx. 45 mm.
• Mounting on the door of the switchgear cabinet using an as-
sembly kit equipped with a connection cable.
• Use of the Control Panel as remote control device with a
connection cable; recommended for start-up procedure.
Languages for Panel
Display
The language for display of texts on the CDP 312 Control Panel is
English.
Note: General display texts like LAST FAULT, UPLOAD,
DOWNLOAD etc. are stored in the CDP 312 Control
Panel; display texts like Parameter Names, Faults etc.
are taken from the Software used with DCS 600.
