External Supply for the Field The CTW900 comes from the factory with the field bridge internally supplied by the same power supply circuit of the armature (R/S/T). In case the input voltage of the armature is too high for the motor field, it is possible to supply the field circuit with a different source, by means of connector X3.
When flexible cables are used for the power and grounding connections, proper terminals must be used. ATTENTION! Sensitive equipment, such as PLCs, temperature controllers and thermocouple cables must be placed at least 25 cm away from the cables between the converter and the motor. 40 | CTW900...
For Antiparallel converters (4-Q), it is also necessary to install fuses at the converter output (A1/B2), as shown in Figure 5.6. fuses fuses CTW900 CTW900 Unidirectional Antiparallel (1-Q) (4-Q) fuses Figure 5.6 – Configuration of the elements for the protection of the armature circuit of the CTW900 CTW900 | 41...

When the field bridge is supplied externally as described in section 5.3.2, ultra fast fuses must be used at the circuit input, dimensioned according to Table 5.5. In order to prevent unintentional actuation, these models must not be mounted on disconnecting switch. 42 | CTW900...
Therefore, the use of a line reactance together with the CTW900 is essential in order to ensure a supply without transients for the converter, the same way its use reduces the influence generated by the commutation of the thiristors on the supply line.
= rated current of the drive on the DC side, in Amps (A). rated For 60Hz lines and voltages up to 500Vac, the recommended reactances for each model of the CTW900 are presented in Table 5.6. For other voltages or frequencies, contact WEG to check the most suitable reactance.
5.3.7 Control Connections The control connections of the CTW900 (analog inputs/outputs, digital inputs/outputs) are made at connector XC1, located on the CC900 control electronic board. In order to access it, remove the product front plastic cover by loosening the two fastening screws in the lower part of the cover.

As default, the analog inputs and outputs come from the factory selected for the range 0 to +10V. In order to change its operation range, you can change the position of switch S1, located on the upper left corner of the CC900 electronic board. 46 | CTW900...

Start-up START-UP For a safe start-up of the CTW900, it is really important to observe the instructions of this chapter. Before, however, the converter must have already been installed according to the previous chapter. NOTE! Even if the drive project is different from the typical drives suggested, the steps below must also be followed.
6.2.2 Oriented Start-up Aiming at facilitating the configuration of the application, the CTW900 offers an Oriented Start-up routine, which displays on the keypad a sequence of the main parameters to be set. In order to enter the Oriented Start-up routine, follow the sequence presented in Figure 6.2, first setting P0317=1 and then the other parameters as they are displayed on the keypad.

Description: In some applications in which you want to control only the motor torque, the CTW900 can be configured to regulate only the armature current, ignoring the speed feedback value. In order to do so, you must set P0299 = 1 (Torque Mode).
In order to set these gains properly, follow the procedures described in sections 6.4.1 and 6.4.3. Note: In case there are some digital input set for the “Speed Reg. Gains” function, the CTW900 will use the second gain set (P0161 and P0162) when this Dix is active (24V).

In a general way, we can say the Proportional gain (P0167) stabilizes sudden current changes, whereas the Integral gain (P0168/P0171) corrects the error between the torque reference and the effective current. The use of each of the integral gains will be done automatically by the CTW900, according the output current level: for an intermittent armature current (motor with no load), the control will use the gain P0168;...

Memory Card CTW900: transfers the content of the parameters stored in the Flash memory to the control board of the CTW900. After storing the parameters of the CTW900 in a FLASH Memory Module, it is possible to transfer them to another CTW900 using this function. However, if the converters have incompatible software versions, the keypad will display the message: “FLASH Memory Module with invalid parameters”...

Detailed Description of the Parameters 7.11 PARAMETER INCOMPATIBILITY In order to prevent drive or control problems, the CTW900 identifies and signals parameterization combinations that can lead to an undefined operating situation. Thus, in case some of the conditions of Table 7.27 occurs, the converter will signal the incompatibility on the display and will go into the Configuration status (“Config”, on the keypad), preventing its enabling until the...

By before contacting, it is important to have the following data at hand: converter model; ■ serial number informed on the product nameplate (see section 4.5); ■ software version installed (see P0023); ■ application and effected parameterization data. ■ 138 | CTW900...
Accessories. DEVICES AND ACCESSORIES The CTW900 has several accessories which can be added to the converter in a simple and fast way based on the plug and play concept. Therefore, when an accessory is connected to the expansion slots, the control circuit identifies the model and informs the code of the accessory connected in P0027 and P0028.

Technical Specifications 10.3 DIMENSIONING OF THE CTW900 In order to dimension the converter CTW900 correctly, it is necessary to take into account the DC motor used, the load cycle characteristic and the environmental conditions of the application. Thus, first you must check the rated voltage of the motor armature so as to determine the converter voltage class, as per Table 10.1.
