Three-wire
Interface
Operation
The 3-wire interface is an industry standard motor control interface. This function uses two
inputs for momentary contact start/stop control, and a third for selecting forward or reverse
direction. To implement the 3-wire interface, assign 20 [STA] (Start), 21 [STP] (Stop), and 22
[F/R] (Forward/Reverse) to three of the intelligent input terminals. Use momentary contact for
Start and Stop. Use a selector switch, such as SPST for the Forward/Reverse input. Be sure to
set the operation command selection A002=01 for input terminal control of motor.
If you have a motor control interface that needs logic-level control (rather than momentary
pulse control), use the [FW] and [RV] inputs instead.
The diagram below shows the use of 3-wire control. STA (Start Motor) is an edge-sensitive
input; an OFF-to-ON transition gives the Start command. The control of direction is level-
sensitive, and the direction may be changed at any time. STP (Stop Motor) is also a level-
sensitive input.

Notes:
• The STP logic is inverted. Normally the
switch will be closed, so you open the switch
to stop. In this way, a broken wire causes the
motor to stop automatically (safe design).
• When you configure the inverter for 3-wire
interface control, the dedicated [FW] terminal
is automatically disabled. The [RV] intelligent
terminal assignment is also disabled.
