MOVITRAC 31 Operating Instructions. Each unit is manufactured and tested to current SEW-EURODRIVE technical standards and specifi- cations. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical data and designs, which are in the interest of technical progress.
Introduction Introduction Description The synchronous operation function enables a group of asynchronous motors (master and slaves) to maintain angular synchronism to one another or at a specified proportional ratio. The synchronous operation function has 8 modes to cover a range of applications: Modes Functions Application Examples...

Introduction The principle behind synchronous operation is the continuous comparison of the angular position between the slave motor and the master. For this purpose, the master and slave motors should be ® fitted with encoders (pulse encoders) that output the same number of pulses. A MOVITRAC 31..

Commissioning Commissioning Before you start Master and slave drives must first be commissioned as stand-alone drives in V/f mode, then for speed control and then, as third step, for synchronous operation: ® Commissioning for V/f mode of each master and slave drive (see MOVITRAC 31..
Commissioning • If master and slave drives are to have the same direction of rotation: CW rotation of master = CW rotation of slave then the connection sequence of the motor phases and the units channels must be identical. • If master and slave are to have opposite directions of rotation (e.g. output shafts of geared motors with an even number of gear stages are opposite one another): CW rotation of master = CCW rotation of slave –...
Parameters Parameters Relationship between parameter values and output speed In the case of the adjustable parameters (P 550, P 551, P 554, P 555, P 765, P 766/767/768), counter values relating to an angular offset (e.g. as permitted deviation or as offset) between mas- ter and slave drive are to be entered.

Parameters ® The MOVITRAC 31.. with the FRS 31 option has the following additional synchronous operation parameters. The synchronous operation parameters need only be entered on the slave; the mas- ter operates in V/f mode or as under speed control. ®...

Parameters • The terminal to which “FRS slave start” is assigned controls the synchronous start-up of master and slave if: – the inputs from the master’s binary outputs with the function “rotating field on” receive a signal and – the setpoint/stop function (P 180) at master and slave become active. •...

The following factors for master and slave drives must be taken into account during the calcula- tion: • exact gear ratios. To just two decimal places in the SEW catalog. • input transmission ratios • pulley diameter (including twice the belt thickness)

Parameters P 764 Selection of mode Value range 1...8 The selected mode determines how the slave reacts to a free-running signal. “0” signal on terminal 102 or terminals 103-105, i.e. constant corrective control of synchronous operation means counter value ∆α = 0, i.e. no angular offset between master and slave. In free-running mode (terminal 102 = “1”), the external setpoint n2 (terminals 34/35) or the inter- nal setpoints n11/12/13 will be activ.

Parameters P 765 Slave counter (differential value) Value range = –99,999,999...10...99,999,999 The slave counter is entered with a sign. It is an adjustable angular offset that, depending on the mode, is interpreted as either a limit for free-running operation or specifies a constant angular offset for the slave, i.e.
