How To Use This Manual - Magnetek Impulse G+ series 4 Instruction Manual

How to Use This Manual

This manual provides technical information on IMPULSE
drive functions, troubleshooting, and installation details. Use this manual to expand drive
functionality and to take advantage of higher performance features. This manual is available for
download on the Magnetek Material Handling document center website at www.magnetekmh.com.
The IMPULSE
parameters. The parameters and performance differ because the VG+ drives includes a PG-X3
encoder feedback card allowing the drive to perform Flux Vector control of the motor. The G+ drives
operate in V/f or Open Loop Vector control methods, appropriate for traverse or standard hoist
motions. The VG+ drives are typically applied to the non-mechanical load brake hoist motion, and
can be applied to traverse motions where torque control or a wide speed control range is required.
Many IMPULSE
classes. The functions that differ are noted with a "Model" column; this column designates which
parameters are available for a given function. Functions may also be control method dependent;
these differences are noted in the function and parameter details. Table 1-1 below notes which
drives can operate in a particular control method.
The instructions in the following chapters apply to most IMPULSE
and monorail applications. However, carefully evaluate each specific situation and ensure that the
National Electric Code (NEC) codes and local wiring practices are followed.
These chapters explain how to install the IMPULSE
components that it interconnects. It explains how to: assess the drive's environment, mount the
drive, and wire the drive circuits. It is important to develop a "plan of attack" for both the mounting
and wiring since each task has an effect on the other one. IMPULSE
Practices is included to provide assistance and reference.
