Quick Start - Baldor VS1GV21-1B Installation & Operating Manual

1.3 Quick Start

Quick Start Guide MS765 is also available separately from www.baldor.com.
If you are an experienced user of Baldor controls, you are probably already familiar with the keypad programming and
keypad operation methods. If so, this quick start guide has been prepared for you. This procedure will help get your system
up and running in the keypad mode quickly and allows motor and control operation to be verified. This procedure assumes
that the Control, Motor and Dynamic Brake hardware are correctly installed (see Chapters 3, 4, and 5 for procedures)
and that you have an understanding of the keypad programming and operation procedures. Figure 1-1 shows minimum
connection requirements. It is not necessary to wire the terminal strip to operate in Keypad mode (Chapter 5 describes
terminal strip wiring procedures).
The quick start procedure is as follows:
1. Read the Safety Notice and Precautions in this Chapter.
2. Mount the control. Refer to Chapters 3, 4, and 5 "Physical Location" procedure.
3. Connect AC power ensuring source voltage matches drive voltage (Figure 1-1). See wire and fuse size guidelines in
Chapter 4. Torque connections per Table A-2.
4. Connect the motor ensuring motor is wired for same voltage as drive (Figure 1-1). Torque connections per Table A-2. Do
not couple the motor shaft to the load until auto tune is complete.
5. Install Dynamic brake hardware, if required. Refer to Chapter 4 "Optional Dynamic Brake Hardware."
6. Connect motor thermostat leads to TH1 and TH2 after removing factory supplied jumper. Be sure to route these leads in
a separate conduit from the motor power leads.
CAUTION:
1. Verify AC line voltage at source matches control rating.
2. Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and torques as well as compliance to codes.
3. Verify control and motor are grounded to each other and the control is connected to earth ground.
4. Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5. Be certain all brake coils, contactors and relay coils have noise suppression. This should be an R-C filter for AC coils and
reverse polarity diodes for DC coils. MOV type transient suppression is not adequate.
CAUTION:
Procedure - Initial Conditions
Be sure the Control, Motor and Dynamic Brake hardware are wired according to the procedures described in Chapters 4
and 5 of this manual. Become familiar with the keypad programming and keypad operation of the control as described in
Chapter 6 of this manual.
1. Remove all power from the control.
2. Verify that any enable inputs to J2-8 are open (remove factory jumper from J2-8 to J3-24).
3. Uncouple the motor from the load (including coupling or inertia wheels).
4. Turn power on. Be sure there are no faults displayed. If a fault is indicated, refer to Chapter 9 "Troubleshooting".
5. Select "Advanced Prog", "Level 2 Blocks", "Drive Config" and set the parameter "Factory Settings" to "Yes". This will
change all parameters to Factory Default.
6. Set the Level 2 Drive Limits block, "OPERATING ZONE" parameter as desired.
(STD CONST TQ, STD VAR TQ, QUIET CONST TQ or QUIET VAR TQ).
7. If external dynamic brake hardware is used, set the Level 2 Brake Adjust block "Resistor Ohms" and "Resistor Watts"
parameters (see parameter description in Chapter 7 for more information).
8. Enable the control (J2-8 connect to J3-24).
CAUTION:
9. Select Basic Params from the main keypad menu. Perform each step including motor data and "Calc Motor Model".
10. For applications with encoder or resolver feedback, select "Advanced Prog", "Level 2 Blocks", "Auto Tune" and execute
"Feedback Test". This will cause motor rotation to verify proper encoder or resolver feedback connections. For more
advanced tuning of the uncoupled motor to the drive, see the Autotune parameters in Level 2 programming.
11. Remove all power from the control.
12. Couple the motor to its load.
13. Verify freedom of motion of motor shaft.
14. Verify the motor coupling is tight without backlash.
15. Verify the holding brakes, if any, are properly adjusted to fully release and set to the desired torque value.
16. Turn power on. Be sure no errors or faults are displayed.
17. Run the drive from the keypad using one of the following: the arrow keys for direct speed control, a keypad entered
speed or the JOG mode.
18. Select and program additional parameters to suit your application.
The control is now ready for use in the keypad mode. If a different operating mode is desired, refer to Chapter 5 Operating
Modes and Chapter 6 and 7 for Programming and Operation.
For more advanced tuning of the drive speed loop once coupled to the load, see "Speed Loop Tune" in "Autotune Block" in
Chapter 7.
MN765
After completing the installation but before you apply power, be sure to check the following
electrical items:
Make sure that unexpected operation of the motor shaft during start up will not cause injury to
personnel or damage to equipment.
The motor shaft will rotate during this procedure. Be certain that unexpected motor shaft
movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
