Application Notes Appendix C Release to Auto Control • Press ALT then Auto/Man on the HIM again. When the HIM releases manual control, the drive speed-command returns to the PLC. PLC = Auto, Terminal Block = Manual A PLC controls a process when the drive is in Auto mode, but requires manual control from an analog potentiometer that is wired to the drive terminal block.
Appendix C Application Notes Resolver Cable Balance At drive power-up, the resolver feedback module automatically performs cable length compensation and resonance tuning for the attached resolver and cable. Tuning Test The status of the cable length compensation and resonance are identified in parameter 426 [Resolver Status], bit 3 “CableCompSts”...
Application Notes Appendix C 10. Monitor Par 426 [Resolver Status], bits 0 “CableBalSts” and 1 “CableBalTest”. The initial test typically takes approximately 10 seconds to complete successfully (subsequent tests more quickly). However, if the cable balance algorithm is unable to adapt to the cable, the test could be active for up to 60 seconds.
Appendix C Application Notes Scale Blocks The six individually configurable Scale Blocks let you link or rescale dissimilar parameter types (for example, integer vs. real) by using these functions: • Multiply • Divide • Maximum and minimum limits • input and output offsets •...
Application Notes Appendix C Link Parameters Via the Scale Block Parameters You can enter most parameter values directly. However, certain parameters can be “linked” by using the Scale Block parameters so the value of one parameter becomes the value of another. For example, the value of an analog input 1, parameter 70 [Anlg In1 Sel], can be linked to parameter 660 [Accel Time 1].
Appendix C Application Notes Open SCR Test Under normal drive operation, the load that each SCR carries is relatively equal, as shown in this image. If one or more SCRs fail to turn on, a unique pattern of insufficient or missing current-pulses results, as shown in this image.
Application Notes Appendix C The Open SCR diagnostic test calculates the percentage deviation of current feedback for each pair of SCRs from the average current feedback. The percent deviation must exceed the value set for Par 216 [OpenSCR Threshold] before the test proceeds to the next part of the diagnostic.

Appendix C Application Notes linear portion of the ramp (although maximum acceleration is reached at the mid-point of the total ramp). When S-curve time is larger than the linear ramp time, again there is no linear portion, and maximum acceleration is never reached.
Application Notes Appendix C S-curve Acceleration Ramp Example: Acceleration-ramp parameter configuration: • Par 18 [Ramp Type Select] = 1 “S shaped” • Par 660 [Accel Time 1] = 5 s (Ta) • Par 19 [S Curve Time] = 3.5 s (Ts) In this case, S-shaped ramp <= Lramp, so T1 and T2 are calculated as: T1 = (3.5 * 3.5) / (2 * 5) T1 = 12.25 / 10...

Page 337
Application Notes Appendix C Configuring the Adaptive Speed Regulator • Set Par 181 [Adaptive Spd En] = “1 Enabled” • If the gain must be changed based on units other than the drive speed reference, set Par 182 [Adaptive Reg Typ] = 1 “Adaptive Ref ”. The adaptive reference is provided to the drive as an analog value via an analog input.
Appendix C Application Notes Speed Up Function The Speed-up function is used to avoid oscillations in the presence of loads with a high moment of inertia. To enable the Speed-up function, set Par 1016 [SpdFuncSelect] to 0 “Speed Up.” When this function is enabled, a D (derivative) value is added to the speed feedback circuit, which allows you to increase the integral gain of the speed regulator.
Application Notes Appendix C Speed Threshold Indicators There are two speed threshold functions available that can be programmed via a digital output to provide indication of when the drive has exceeded certain set points. Par 393 [Speed Threshold] displays whether the speed of the drive is above or below a set speed for clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation.
Appendix C Application Notes P118 P104 Speed Reg In At Speed Error [Digital Outx Sel] = 3 “At Speed” P122 Spd Feedback P394 At Speed P105 At Speed Delay Speed Zero Function The Speed Zero Logic determines the behavior of the drive when the motor is at zero speed.
Application Notes Appendix C Set the P gain for zero speed: • If the P gain corresponds to the value set in Par 126 [Spd Zero P Gain], then set Par 125 [Spd Zero P En] = 1 “Enabled” • If the P gain corresponds to the normal P gain, then set Par 125 [Spd Zero P En] = 0 “Disabled”...
Application Notes Appendix C Speed Regulation Mode When Par 241 [Spd Trq Mode Sel] is set to 1 “Speed Reg” (default), the drive and motor are operated in speed mode. The torque command changes as necessary to maintain the desired speed. Operating as a speed regulator is the most common and simplest mode to configure.
Page 344
Appendix C Application Notes SLAT Min Mode In SLAT Min mode, a speed reference that forces the speed regulator into saturation (the speed reference is slightly above the speed feedback) is typically configured. In this case, the drive follows the torque reference until there is a breakage or slippage in the application.
Page 345
Application Notes Appendix C SLAT Max Mode In SLAT Max mode, a speed reference that forces the speed regulator into saturation (the speed reference is slightly below the speed feedback) is typically configured. In this case, the drive follows the torque reference until there was a breakage or slippage in the application.
Page 346
Appendix C Application Notes Example: The application is a paper winder. The drive is set for SLAT Min mode, so that the drive normally runs in torque mode and follows Par 39 [Torque Ref ]. [Torque Ref ] comes from an external controller and is approximately 60% of motor torque during the snapshot.
Application Notes Appendix C Sum Mode Sum mode is selected when Par 241 [Spd Torq Mode Sel] is set to 5 “Sum”. In this mode, the reference is derived from the sum of the speed regulator output (Par 236 [Spd Reg Out Pct]) and the torque reference (Par 39 [Torque Ref ]). This mode can be used for applications that have precise speed changes with critical time constraints.
Appendix C Application Notes Start At Powerup The “Start At Powerup” function lets you resume running at commanded speed automatically after these conditions are met: • Drive input power is restored • A run command is issued • All start permissive conditions are met (see Figure 94 - Start Permissives Flow Diagram)
Application Notes Appendix C Fine-Tuning the Regulators The PowerFlex DC drive control regulators have predefined values that are meant to provide consistent drive performance without performing any further configuration. One exception is the armature current regulator, which must always be tuned. When the armature current regulator has been tuned to meet the requirements of the application, the fine-tuning procedures for the other regulators are not necessary.
Appendix C Application Notes Manually Adjusting the Current Regulator Tune Settings While the drive is operating, the value of Par 587 [I Reg Error] is updated in response to changes in the current output to the motor. By manually applying current steps to the motor, this parameter can be used as an indication whether the current regulator in the drive is correctly tuned.
Page 351
Application Notes Appendix C 6. Set Par 454 [Arm Inductance] to the minimum value (based on drive size). 7. Set Par 39 [Torque Ref ] to 30% (a percentage relative to Par 179 [Nom Mtr Arm Amps]). 8. Start the drive and observe the value of Par 587 [I Reg Err] for a few seconds;...
Appendix C Application Notes 15. Verify that the motor is attached to any normal application inertia (not process material). 16. Perform a speed regulator autotune by setting Par 1027 [Spd Reg Autotune] = 1 and pressing the Start button. 17. When autotuning completes, speed regulator tuning values should be automatically updated.
Page 353
Application Notes Appendix C 5. Increase the value of the Par 91 [Fld Reg Kp] until the overshoot of the field current (displayed in Par 234 [Fld Current Pct]) is lower than 4%. 6. Increase the value of Par 92 [Fld Reg Ki] until the overshoot is higher than 4%.
Appendix C Application Notes Fine-Tuning the Speed Regulator Follow these steps to fine-tune and optimize the speed regulator: 1. Configure the following Test Generator parameters: • Set Par 58 [TstGen Output] = 4 “Ramp Ref ” • Set Par 59 [TstGen Frequency] = 0.2 Hz •...

Appendix C Application Notes Fine-Tuning the Voltage Regulator in the Field Converter IMPORTANT In most cases, DC motors with independent excitation, work with a constant field (Par 469 [Field Mode Sel] = 0 “Base Speed”). In this case, it is not necessary to optimize the regulator of the field current and the regulator of the armature voltage.
Page 357
Application Notes Appendix C Field Voltage Regulator Tuning Examples Figure 102 - Field voltage oscillation Figure 104 - Optimal field regulation Oscillation after a speed change where [Arm Volt Kp] = 10% and After a short transient, the field current and armature voltage are constant. [Arm Volt Ki] = 80%.
Appendix C Application Notes Tuning the Field Current Curve The function of the field current curve is to control the actual motor flux and then motor torque if the field goes into an overvoltage condition. Figure 105 illustrates the relationship between flux and flux current when the field current curve is defined versus not defined.
Page 359
Application Notes Appendix C • Curve B - After the field current curve fine-tuning procedure is completed, the flux current to flux reference curve will be correct for the motor. See the Current-regulator block diagram on page 374. Field-current Curve Tuning Procedure: 1.
