Preface ATTENTION: The “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator function is extremely useful for preventing nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive decelerations, overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. It forces the output frequency to be greater than commanded frequency while the drive's bus voltage is increasing towards levels that would otherwise cause a fault.

Appendix C Application Notes Enabling Adjustable Voltage Adjustable Voltage is enabled in [Motor Cntl Sel], parameter 053 by selecting “5, Adj Voltage.” In this mode, current limit will now reduce voltage instead of frequency when the threshold is reached. Aggressive ramp rates on the voltage command should be avoided to minimize nuisance overcurrent trips.
Inx Sel], parameters 361…366 (see page 63). The TorqProve™ feature of the PowerFlex 700 is intended for applications where Lifting/Torque Proving proper coordination between motor control and a mechanical brake is required. Prior to releasing a mechanical brake, the drive will check motor output phase continuity and verify proper motor control (torque proving).

Appendix C Application Notes TorqProve functionality with an encoder includes: • Torque Proving (includes flux up and last torque measurement) • Brake Proving • Brake Slip (feature slowly lowers load if brake slips/fails) • Float Capability (ability to hold full torque at zero speed) •...
Digital Out 1 brake connections and/or programming. The default drive configuration energizes the Digital Out 1 relay when power is applied to the drive. The PowerFlex 700 drive will not control the mechanical brake until TorqProve is enabled. If the brake is connected to this relay, it could be released.

Appendix C Application Notes 4. Press Start and run the drive in the desired direction. Observe the direction of motor rotation. If rotation is not in the desired direction: • remove drive power and reverse the two motor leads, or . . . •...
Application Notes Appendix C Drive Setup TorqProve with Encoder To Enable TorqProve with an encoder, bit 0 of [TorqProve Cnfg], parameter 600 must be set to “1.” Once this is set, a Type 2 alarm will be active until the following settings are entered: Name Value...
Fast Stop Enable Brake Contactor Lifting/Torque Proving Application Programming The PowerFlex 700 lifting application is mainly influenced by parameters 600 through 611 in the Torque Proving group of the Application file. Figure 7 and the paragraphs that follow describe programming.
Page 117
Application Notes Appendix C 2. The drive will then provide the motor with flux as well as perform a check for current flow through all three motor phases. This ensures that torque will be delivered to the load when the mechanical brake is released. When torque proving is enabled, open phase loss detection is performed regardless of the setting of Bit 12 of [Fault Config 1], parameter 238.
Proving function is enabled, the Float time is ignored at the end of the ramp. This feature can be used without enabling the Torque Proving function. Limit Switches for Digital The PowerFlex 700 includes digital input selections for decel and end limit switches. These can be used for applications that use limit switches for Inputs decelerating near the end of travel and then stopping at the end position.
Application Notes Appendix C End Travel Limit for Digital Inputs End Travel Limit is enabled by selecting “End Limit” as one of the digital inputs in [Digital In1-6 Select]. A “low” at this input (opposite logic) will cause the drive to do a fast decel (0.1 sec) and turn off. This Stop limit will be enforced only in the direction the drive was running when the switch was activated (momentarily or continuously, see “C”...
Appendix C Application Notes Motor Control Technology Within the PowerFlex family there are several motor control technologies: • Torque Producers • Torque Controllers • Speed Regulators Torque Producers Volts/Hertz This technology follows a specific pattern of voltage and frequency output to the motor, regardless of the motor being used.
Hz, Sensorless Vector or Vector) can be set up to regulate speed. Speed regulation and torque regulation must be separated to understand drive operation. The PowerFlex 700 can offer improved speed regulation by adding speed feedback. Using a speed feedback device (encoder) tightens speed regulation to 0.001% of base speed and extends the speed range to zero speed.
Appendix C Application Notes Motor Overload For single motor applications the drive can be programmed to protect the motor from overload conditions. An electronic thermal overload I T function emulates a thermal overload relay. This operation is based on three parameters; [Motor NP FLA], [Motor OL Factor] and [Motor OL Hertz] (parameters 042, 048, and 047, respectively).
Application Notes Appendix C Motor Overload Memory Firmware version 4.002 or greater – has the ability to retain the motor overload count at power down per the 2005 NEC motor overtemp requirement. To Retention Per 2005 NEC Enable/Disable this feature, refer to the table below. Once Enabled, the value for [Testpoint 1 Sel] can be changed.
This feature also includes homing capability to a limit switch or a marker pulse using an automatic homing procedure. The PowerFlex 700 uses an incremental encoder only. Since absolute encoders IMPORTANT are not used, your process must be able to accommodate this homing procedure after a power down or power loss.
Application Notes Appendix C • Limits Many threshold values can affect the performance of the profile/indexer. To help minimize the possibility of overshooting a position, ensure that the following parameters are set for the best performance. Parameter Description [Regen Power Limit] Default is –50% and will likely require a greater negative value.
Appendix C Application Notes The [Pos/Spd Prof Cmd] bits can be set via DPI interface (HIM or Comm) or digital inputs. When digital input(s) are programmed for “Pos Sel 1-5, ” the starting step of the profile is exclusively controlled by the digital inputs. The DPI interface value for bits 0-4 will be ignored.
Application Notes Appendix C Encoder Incremental Blend (EncIncrBlend) When started, the drive will ramp to the desired velocity and hold speed until the units of travel programmed is reached (within tolerance window). The profile will then transition to the next step and the drive will ramp to the speed of the new step without first going to zero speed.
Appendix C Application Notes Encoder Incremental (Encoder Incr) This is a move increment from the current position in the direction, distance and speed programmed. When started the drive ramps to the desired velocity, holds the speed, then ramps to zero speed landing or ending at the commanded position within the tolerance window.
Page 129
Application Notes Appendix C • Homing to Limit Switch with Encoder Feedback When “Find Home” is commanded, the homing routine is run when a start command is issued. The Homing bit (11) in [Profile Status] will be set while the homing routine is running. The drive will ramp to the speed and direction set in [Find Home Speed] at the rate set in [Find Home Ramp] until the digital input defined as Home Limit is activated.
Appendix C Application Notes • Position Redefine When “Pos Redefine” is set, the present position is established as Home and [Units Traveled] is set to zero. • Disable Homing Requirement If a home position is not required, the routine can be disabled by clearing [Alarm Config 1], bit 17 (Prof SetHome) to “0.”...
Application Notes Appendix C Example 2: Six Step Velocity Profile (Digital Input-Based) In each step, the drive ramps at [Step x AccelTime] to [Step x Velocity] in the direction of the sign of [Step x Velocity] until a digital input is detected. When the input is detected it transitions to the next step in the profile.
Appendix C Application Notes Example 3: Five Step Positioner with Incremental Encoder The first three steps of this indexer are “Encoder Incr” steps followed by an “Encoder Abs” step to zero and then an “End Hold Position” step. For each “Encoder Incr”...
650V DC and the fixed percentage, 27% for “Coast to Stop” and 18% for all others, would allow identical operation regardless of line voltage. The PowerFlex 70 uses only these fixed percentages. The PowerFlex 700 can selectively use the same percentages or the user can set a trigger point for line loss detect.
Application Notes Process PID The internal PI function of the PowerFlex 700 provides closed loop process control with proportional and integral control action. The function is designed for use in applications that require simple control of a process without external control devices.
Page 135
Application Notes Appendix C If no digital input is configured to “PI Enable, ” then only the Bit 0 = 1 condition must be met. If the bit is permanently set to a “1”, then the loop will become enabled as soon as the drive goes into “run.” PI Enabled PI Pre-load Value PI Output...

Appendix C Application Notes Skip Frequency Examples The skip frequency will have hysteresis so the Max. Frequency output does not toggle between high and low values. Three distinct bands can be programmed. If none of the skip bands touch Skip Band 1 Skip Frequency 1 or overlap, each band has its own high/low limit.
Application Notes Appendix C Definitions • Wake - A start command generated when the analog input value remains above [Wake Level] (or below when Invert mode is active) for a time greater than [Wake Time]. • Sleep - A Stop command generated when the analog input value remains below [Sleep Level] (or above when Invert mode is active) for a time greater than [Sleep Time].
