Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application Encoder Usage The PowerFlex 40P includes a pulse-train/encoder input. When E216 [Motor Fdbk Type] is set to a value other than zero, the drive is set to use an encoder. The drive will use the encoder in several ways depending on the settings of other parameters.
E216 [Motor Fdbk Type] is set to option 5 “Quad Check”. Positioning Overview The PowerFlex 40P includes a simple position regulator which can be used in a variety of position applications without the need for multiple limit switches or photo-eyes. This can be used as a stand-alone controller for simple applications (up to 8 positions) or in conjunction with a controller for more flexibility.
Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application Common Guidelines for All Applications The position regulator can be configured for operation appropriate for a variety of applications. Certain parameters will need to be adjusted in all cases. P038 [Speed Reference] must be set to option 9 “Positioning”. E216 [Motor Fdbk Type] must be set to the match the feedback device.
Page 172
E217 [Motor NP Poles] must be set to match the number of motor poles on the motor driven by the PowerFlex 40P drive. E218 [Encoder PPR] must be set to match the number of pulses per revolution of the encoder used (i.e., 1024 PPR Encoder).
Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application Positioning Operation Parameter E222 [Positioning Mode] must be set to properly match the desired operation of the positioning function. E222 [Positioning Mode] Options 0 “Time Steps” uses Step Logic times. This mode ignores the Step Logic settings and moves through the steps (Step 0 to Step 7 and back to Step 0) based on the times programmed into A150-A157...
Page 174
Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application In all position modes, the following parameters will control the characteristics at each step: E230-E244 [Step Units x] These are the number value to the left of the decimal (whole number) of the 8 positions desired for an application, beginning with Step 0 (E230) and continuing with each step until Step 7 (E244).
Page 175
Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application A140-A147 [Stp Logic x] – When a positioning mode is selected that utilizes the Step Logic functions these parameters allow additional flexibility and control various aspects of each step. Note that in Positioning mode these parameters have a different function than when used for normal velocity Step Logic.
Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application E247 [Pos Reg Gain] is a single adjustment for increasing or decreasing the responsiveness of the position regulator. For faster response, the filter should be reduced and/or the gain should be increased. For smoother response with less overshoot, the filter should be increased and/or the gain should be reduced.
Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application E223 [Find Home Freq] This parameter sets the frequency the drive will use while it is moving to the home position during the automatic homing routine. E224 [Find Home Dir] This parameter sets the direction the drive will use while it is moving to the home position during the automatic homing routine.
F-10 Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application d308 [Units Traveled] Parameter d308 [Units Traveled H] and d309 [Units Traveled L] indicate the current position of the system in terms of units away from Home. Parameter d308 is the number value to the left of the decimal (whole number) and d309 is the number to the right of the decimal (the portion less than 1).
Encoder Usage and Position StepLogic Application F-11 E248 [Enh Control Word] This parameter allows many of the positioning functions to be completed via parameter control using an explicit message. This allows the operation over communications instead of with hardware inputs. The bits have the same functions as the digital input options of the same name.

Appendix PID Set Up PID Loop The PowerFlex 40P has a built-in PID (proportional, integral, differential) control loop. The PID loop is used to maintain a process feedback (such as pressure, flow or tension) at a desired set point. The PID loop works by subtracting the PID feedback from a reference and generating an error value.

PID Set Up Exclusive Control In Exclusive Control, the Speed Reference becomes 0, and the PID Output becomes the entire Freq Command. Exclusive Control is used when A132 [PID Ref Sel] is set to option 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. This configuration does not require a master reference, only a desired set point, such as a flow rate for a pump.

PID Set Up Trim Control In Trim Control, the PID Output is added to the Speed Reference. In Trim mode, the output of the PID loop bypasses the accel/decel ramp as shown. Trim Control is used when A132 [PID Ref Sel] is set to option 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.
2 “Comm Port” The reference word from a communication network (see Appendix C of the PowerFlex 40P User Manual for details on the reference word) such as Modbus RTU or DeviceNet becomes the PID Feedback. The value sent over the network is scaled so that P035 [Maximum Freq] x 10 = 100% Feedback.
PID Set Up Analog PID Reference Signals Parameters A110 [Anlg In 0-10V Lo] and A111 [Anlg In 0-10V Hi] are used to scale or invert an analog PID Reference or PID Feedback. Examples Scale Function For a 0-5 volt signal, the following parameter settings are used so that a 0 volt signal = 0% PID Reference and a 5 volt signal = 100% PID Reference.

PID Set Up PID Deadband Parameter A138 [PID Deadband] is used to set a range, in percent, of the PID Reference that the drive will ignore. Example • [PID Deadband] is set to 5.0 • The PID Reference is 25.0% •...

PID Set Up PID Gains The proportional, integral, and differential gains make up the PID regulator. • A134 [PID Prop Gain] The proportional gain (unitless) affects how the regulator reacts to the magnitude of the error. The proportional component of the PID regulator outputs a speed command proportional to the PID error.

PID Set Up Guidelines for Adjusting the PID Gains 1. Adjust the proportional gain. During this step it may be desirable to disable the integral gain and differential gain by setting them to 0. After a step change in the PID Feedback: –...

Plate Drive Installation Instructions Introduction The PowerFlex 40P is available in a plate drive version without heatsink. This is designed to allow mounting to a customer supplied heatsink. This may be a large heatsink to be shared by multiple drives, a large thermal mass that is part of a system, or some other heat-sinking system.
Plate Drive Installation Instructions Heatsink Thermal Capacity The heatsink provided must have the thermal capacity to cool the drive under worst-case loading conditions as well as for short duration overload conditions in the application. Refer to Table A.C on page A-5 for estimated watts loss data.
Plate Drive Installation Instructions Heatsink Surface and Flatness Requirements The drive comes with a thermal pad designed to provide a good interface between the drive and heatsink. However, in order for this to function properly the mounting surface for the plate drive must be clean and free of dirt, oil, and debris.
Plate Drive Installation Instructions Mounting Dimensions and Requirements Refer to Figure B.5 on page B-11 for plate drive dimensions and mounting hole locations. Use the pattern illustrated in Step 3 below to gradually tighten all mounting bolts to the recommend torque of 2.0 N-m (18 lb.-in.). Isopropyl Alcohol 2.0 N-m...
