Load Sharing/Torque Following—2 or more mechanically coupled motors The VG+ Series 3 Software allows one or more Impulse VG+ Series 3 driven motors to be connected in a Master/ Slave fashion such that slave inverter will follow the torque reference of the master inverter. It can be configured in two ways, either as a dedicated Slave or as a Master/Slave that can be switched on or off by multi-function input.

Load Float Time 2 When Load Float (C8-10) is enabled, it maintains the motor shaft at a stationary position. Load Float Time 2 is enabled by a MFI (Multi-Function Input) that is programmed as the digital input data 35 (H1-01~06=35). If load float is being used, this time (C4-01) will be added to the standard load float time (C8-10).

Load Check Load Check function is a load-limiting feature that ensures the programmed load limit of the hoist is not exceeded. It prevents the lifting (and potential loss) of a load that is overweight. When IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 detects an overload condition, it prevents any further raising. However, the load can be lowered at the speed that is specified by constant C5-14 (Load Check Fault speeds).

Ultra-Lift Ultra-Lift provides additional productivity by allowing a crane or hoist to quickly move into position. The feature enables the motor to over speed when the load is less than 100 percent of the rated capacity. Ultra-Lift determines the torque required for the load, calculates the maximum safe speed, and automatically accelerates to this speed.

Torque Limit IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 dynamically controls the torque output of the motor at all times. The Torque Limit Function limits the amount of motor torque on all four quardrants of vector control operation: • Forward Motoring • Reverse Motoring •...
Page 82
If the memorized value is less than the programmed value in C8-03 (Minimum Brake Release torque), then C8-03 is used as the next brake release value. If the feature must be disabled, C8-03 will override C8-16 if it is a greater value than C8-16. Once the brake has been commanded to release, the output remains in Load Float for the amount of time programmed into C8-04.
Page 83
This condition indicates that the brake has failed and the drive / motor combination is suspending the load. If, during this condition, the hoist is operated in the “Raise” direction, it will only be allowed to run at a speed equal to or less than the “BE6 Up Speed” setting in parameter C8-17 (C8-17 is 6Hz by default.) This is an additional indication that the brake has failed open, or the load is slipping through the brake.

Weight Measurement The IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 includes a Weight Calculation function that can be used in hoisting applications. The weight measurement calculation is based on motor torque at a constant speed. the drive must pause the acceleration, wait for the torque to stabilize and then perform the weight calculation based on the system tare values.
Page 89
System Tare and Calibration 1. Attach all of the under hook attachments that are required during normal lifting (Chains, Slings, spreader beam, etc.). Remove the load from the bottom block. If there is a spreader beam or other lifting device that is constantly attached to the bottom block, it may be left in place. If the lifting device changes, it should be removed for this procedure and the known weight of the lift- ing device used for each lift should be manually subtracted from weight that is calculated by the hoist drive.
Page 90
Setting up an External Display Device NOTE: This procedure assumes that the System Tare and Calibration procedure has been completed. The setup of parameter C10-03 and C10-07 should be returned to the factory default settings for this procedure or may be skipped entirely if the displayed weight does not need to be read on the keypad of the hoist drive.
Slack Cable Detection IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 offers Slack Cable Detection in the hoist application. The Slack Cable condition is detected when the torque output is drastically reduced and has dipped below a set-point (C11-03) level. When Slack Cable condition occurs, the output action is defined by the C11-02 which has 6 selections.

Parameter Access Code Display Function Range Initial Value Level C11-03 SLC Detect Torq Percentage of Output Torque 0–100% below which the enabled Slack Cable Detection is activated—as long as the Frequency output is between C11-04 and C11-06, and the delay time is between C11-05 and C11-07.
Page 93
Delay Timers This function is used in trolley or bridge applications. It can reduce the mechanical brake wear when the operator tries to position a load. This function is available only in traverse mode and the constant B3-03 must be set to 4 (Ramp With Timer).
Page 94
Maintenance Timer The “Maintenance Timer” is a maintenance feature that will alert an operator, for example, when the bearings need to be greased. It consists of a Multi-Function output (Data 37) that becomes active when the total running time has exceeded the amount of time (in hours) programmed in parameter C12-05 and the frequency reference will be multiplied by a programmable gain (C12-06) to slow the motion down until the bearings have been greased.
Page 95
Inching Control Inching Control Function can be enabled by programming data 17, 18, and 19 respectively to the Multi-Function input terminals (H1-01~06).The frequency reference used during inching is determined by B1-17 (Jog Reference). C A U T I O N A directional input is not needed on terminals 1 or 2.

expired and the movement is repeating, or the Multi-function Input is removed. The drive will remain in Zero Servo mode when the move is complete as long as the Multi-function Input is enabled. When the motion is NLB Hoist, the function can also be enabled at anytime. If the crane is in motion when enabled, the Index function will not be triggered until motor speed is less than or equal to D1-01.

Automatic Slip Compensation As the load becomes larger, the motor speed is reduced and the motor slip increases. The slip compensation function keeps the motor speed constant under varying load conditions. D2-01 sets the slip compensation gain. When the gain is “1.0”, the output frequency is increased by 1% of the E1- 06 setting at rated current.

Page 103
Dwell Function The Dwell Function is used to temporarily hold the output frequency at a set reference for a set time. This function can be used when driving a motor with a heavy starting load. This pause in acceleration reduces traditionally high starting current. Enable by setting H1-01 ~ 06 to 65. NOTE: This function should not be used for hoists.

In flux vector control the E2 constants will be set automatically during auto-tuning. If the control method is V/F (A1-02=0), the motor rated current should be entered into E2-01.

Motor 2 Method The Motor 2 method function allows one drive to control two separate motors which are coupled to separate motions. The output of the drive is switched from one motor to the other and a multi- function input (H1-XX=41 Motor 2 Select) informs the drive of which motor is being used. Special functions are disabled and become read only while in Motor 2.

Troubleshooting the Drive In this troubleshooting section, “check,” means investigating whether an item is functioning and in an acceptable physical condition, and then taking corrective action (adjusting, fixing, replacing, etc.) as necessary. In the Corrective Action column, you may not have to perform all of the steps to correct the problem.

Troubleshooting Encoder Related Faults The faults in this section may involve the encoder feedback system. During system startup, these faults are often caused by parameters that need to be adjusted. However, after the system has been running for some time without a fault, this usually indicates a problem with the physical system and adjusting the parameters should only be done after the physical system has been inspected.
Page 162
7. If the encoder feedback system checks out and no other mechanical problems can be found, then something must have changed in the control system. 7.1 Check if the acceleration or deceleration times have been changed (B5-01, B5-02, or C1-02). 7.2 Check if a function that provides an alternate acceleration or deceleration rate has been enabled or changed.
Page 163
6. After corrective action has been taken and the fault no longer occurs then the load float time, C8- 10, can be set back to initial value. Fault Code: BE1–Torque Proving Fault Definition The BE1 fault indicates that the drive has released the brake, but has not started to accelerate the motor when it detects more than the expected encoder feedback.
Page 164
3. If the encoder appears to have no mechanical problems, the encoder cable should be checked for damage and replaced if a problem is found. 4.1 Each of the encoder wires should be checked for continuity. 4.2 The wires should be checked for shorts between any two wires. 4.3 The wires should be checked for shorts to the shield or ground.
Page 165
6. Increase the value of C8-13. Fault Code: OC–Over Current Fault Definition An over current fault is caused if the output current exceeds 200% of the inverter rated output current. This fault can be caused by short circuits in the wiring or in the motor, and it can also be caused by parameters that are not adjusted properly.
Fault Display and Corrective Actions at Auto-tuning The following are fault displays and corrective actions at auto-tuning. If any of the following faults are found, the digital operator displays that fault contents; the motor coasts to stop if it is under operation.
