  • Page 30: Line Starting And Line Stopping

    Starting and Stopping Methods Line starting and line stopping Line starting and line stopping (applying and removing AC line voltage) is recommended for infrequent starting and stopping of a drive only. When AC line voltage is applied to the drive, the motor accelerates to the speed set by the speed adjust potentiometer.

  • Page 31: Regenerative Brake

    Starting and Stopping Methods Regenerative brake Short the INHIBITterminals to regeneratively brake the motor (see Figure 13 for INHIBIT terminal location). Reopening the INHIBIT terminals causes the motor to accelerate to set speed. The INHIBIT terminals bypass both the MIN SPD circuit and the deceleration circuit.

  • Page 34: Decelerate To Zero Speed

    Starting and Stopping Methods Decelerate to zero speed The circuit shown in Figure 16 may be used to decelerate a motor to a zero speed. Closing the switch between S2 and S0 decelerates the motor from set speed to zero speed. The DECEL trimpot setting determines the rate at which the drive decelerates.
  • Page 35 Starting and Stopping Methods Warning For frequent starts and stops, use regenerative deceleration (shorting RB1 and RB2), regenerative braking (shorting INHIBIT terminals to each other), coasting to a stop (shorting INHIBIT–RUN terminals 1 and 2), or decelerating to minimum speed (shorting S2 to S0). Do not use any of these methods for emergency stopping.

  • Page 36: Calibration

    Calibration Warning Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. When possible, disconnect the voltage input from the drive before adjusting the trimpots. If the trimpots must be adjusted with power applied, use insulated tools and the appropriate personal protection equipment. BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury.

  • Page 37: Minimum Speed (Min Spd)

    Calibration MINIMUM SPEED (MIN SPD) The MIN SPD trimpot setting determines the motor speed when the speed adjust potentiometer is turned full CCW. It is factory set to zero speed. The minimum speed feature applies only when the drive is operating in unidirectional mode.

  • Page 38: Forward Torque (Fwd Tq)

    Continuous operation beyond this rating may damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating, contact your Minarik representative for assistance. The FWD TQ trimpot setting determines the maximum torque for accelerating and driving the motor in the forward direction. It also sets the maximum torque for decelerating the motor in the reverse direction.

  • Page 39: Reverse Torque (Rev Tq)

    Continuous operation beyond this rating may damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating, contact your Minarik representative for assistance. The REV TQ trimpot setting determines the maximum torque for accelerating and driving the motor in the reverse direction. It also sets the maximum torque for decelerating the motor in the forward direction.

  • Page 40: Ir Compensation (Ir Comp)

    Calibration IR COMPENSATION (IR COMP) The IR COMP trimpot setting determines the degree to which motor speed is held constant as the motor load changes. It is factory set for optimum motor regulation. Recalibrate the IR COMP setting when using a lower curernt rated motor.

  • Page 41: Forward Acceleration (Fwd Acc)

    Calibration FORWARD ACCELERATION (FWD ACC) The FWD ACC trimpot setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to either a higher speed in the forward direction or a lower speed in the reverse direction, within the limits of available torque. The FWD ACC setting is factory set for its fastest forward acceleration time.
