Parker DC590C Series Quick Start Manual

Drive Set-Up

IMPORTANT: You must not exceed the maximum drive and motor ratings. Refer to the Product Code
or rating label, and the motor rating plate
The instructions are written in logical order. Complete each stage successfully before progressing to the next.
This simple start-up routine assumes that:
The Drive is direct from the factory and thus using all factory default settings
You know how to operate and navigate the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) – keypad + display
The drive's control terminals are wired as shown in the Installation diagram
This simple set-up uses ARMATURE VOLTAGE (default setting) as the speed feedback method

1: Pre-Operation Checks

Completely disconnect the drive before point-to-point checking with a buzzer, or when checking insulation with a Megger.
Prepare to energise the drive and system as follows:
ISOLATE THE DRIVE using branch circuit protection or circuit breaker (8).
Disconnect the load from the motor shaft, if possible.
If there is any doubt about the integrity of a particular installation, insert a high wattage resistor, i.e. fire elements,
in series with the motor armature.
Initial checks before applying power:
Mains power supply voltage is correct for drive.  Auxiliary power supply voltage is correct for drive
Motor vent fan is connected correctly for direction of rotation. and integral fans (110A – 270A).
Motor is of correct armature voltage and current rating.  Check for damage to equipment.
Check that cooling fans are intact and free from  Check all external wiring circuits - power, control,
o b t s u r t c o i n 1 ( 1 0 A – 2 7 0 A . ) m t o
Check for loose ends, clippings, drilling swarf etc., lodged in the Drive and system.
Ensure the safety of the complete system before the drive is energised:
Ensure that rotation of the motor in either direction will  Ensure that other equipment will not be adversely
n t o c a s u e d a m a g e a f f c e
Ensure that nobody else is working on another part of the system which will be affected by powering up

2: Calibrating the Control Board

NO POWER IS CONNECTED AT THIS STAGE
2.1 Lift the hinged terminal cover to reveal the
control board.
Enter the settings for Armature Current,
Field Current and Armature Voltage.
Armature
Note the maximum armature current from the motor rating plate and set this value using SW1, SW2 and
Current
SW3. The switches set Amps in hundreds, tens and units. The illustration shows an IA CAL setting of 77A.
(IA CAL)
Field Note the nominal field current from the motor rating plate and set this value using SW4, SW5 and SW6.
Current The switches set Amps in tens, units and tenths. The illustration shows an IF CAL setting of 5.7A. The
(IF CAL) maximum current is 19.9A, setting a higher value than this results in 0A.
Armature
Set this using the 4-way switch,

illustration shows a VA CAL
3 1 1 1 1 0
setting of 200V. (A "1" indicates
4 1 1 1 1 1
that the switch is ON).
2.2 CONNECT THE AUXILIARY SUPPLY: Remove 3-phase fuses (6). Re-instate branch circuit protection or circuit
breaker (8). Check that the auxiliary voltage is correct. The MMI will now display the Welcome screen.
AUXILIARY POWER ONLY IS CONNECTED AT THIS STAGE
Use a digital voltmeter to check for +24V rail at terminal C9, +10V rail at terminal B3, -10V rail
at terminal B4. The drive will be using the default speed feedback option ARM VOLTS FBK.

3: Initial Start-Up Routine

AUXILIARY POWER ONLY IS CONNECTED AT THIS STAGE
Complete steps 3.1 to 3.10
3.1 Write down the MAIN CURR. LIMIT parameter's value here: ..............................
Set to 0.00%
3.2 Check that ANIN 5 (A6) is +10V.
If not, check the wiring link between terminals A6 and B3.
3.3 Save your settings. Press the  (UP) key, as instructed.
3.4 With the Program Stop and Coast Stop LEDs illuminated:
Apply the "Start/Run" command to C3.
The main 3-phase contactor should close and remain energised.
Quickly press the "Start/Run" command from C3.
The main 3-phase contactor should open and remain de-energised.
Didn't work? Remove the auxiliary power and check start/stop sequencing and contactor wiring.
3-Phase Alarm? The drive has tripped because there is no 3-phase supply connected. To clear the alarm
press the E key. Repeat the test at 3.4 again, but quickly remove the "Start/Run" command before the alarm
has time to initiate.
WARNING
Do not continue until the stop/start circuits and contactor operate correctly.
3.5 ISOLATE THE DRIVE using branch circuit protection or circuit breaker (8). Install the 3-phase fuses (6).
Reinstate branch circuit protection or circuit breaker (8).
IMPORTANT Do not change any of the previously made calibration settings once the main contactor is energised.
MAIN & AUXILIARY POWER ARE CONNECTED AT THIS STAGE
3.6 Use a Voltmeter that conforms to IEC 61010 (CAT III or higher).
Set the uni-directional speed potentiometer to zero
(check that the value of SPEED SETPOINT parameter = 0 %)
Apply the "Start/Run" command to C3.
Ensure that "Enable" (C5) is ON.
Check that 3-phase mains is applied to the power terminals L1, L2 and L3.
Check the correct field voltage appears between the field output terminals D3 and D4. This is high voltage DC.
Proceed with caution.
If the Field Voltage is incorrect do not continue. Switch off all supplies and check connections.
START (C3 = 24V)
The drive can run provided that:
B8 & B9 are TRUE (+24V)
C5 "Enable" is ON (+24V)

MAIN CURR. LIMIT
Speed Setpoint
3.7
Check that all six MMI LEDs are now lit, indicating that the motor is capable of rotating.
e t d b y p o w r e n i g u p
During the following set-up instructions, be ready to STOP the drive should the motor try to overspeed.
3.8 Set the speed setpoint to 5% (0.5V at terminal A8).
3.9 Refer back to 3.1 to display the CONFIGURE DRIVE menu. Slowly increase the MAIN
CURR.LIMIT parameter towards a maximum of 20%. At some point the motor will begin
to rotate as the parameter value is increased. The motor speed will settle at 5% of full
speed. If the motor is loaded it may require more than 20% current limit to turn the motor.
3.10 Stop the drive by opening C3. Now Autotune the drive.

4: Autotuning

This process tunes the drive to the connected motor. Initial conditions must be:
Main contactor open, i.e. terminal C3 = 0V.
Program Stop (terminal B8) and Coast Stop(terminal B9) and Enable (terminal C5) high, i.e. 24V.
No field voltage: Autotune automatically quenches the (default) internally supplied field.
Armature Volts VA (Volts)
4.1 Set AUTOTUNE to ARMATURE.
0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
4.2 Close the main contactor, (apply the "Start/Run" command to C3) to begin the begin the Autotune.
1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
The keypad displays "Autotuning" during the process. When Autotune is complete (after approximately 10
seconds), the main contactor is opened and the AUTOTUNE parameter is reset to OFF. Ensure that "Enable"
(C5) is OFF.
4.3 Perform a PARAMETER SAVE now. Refer back to 3.3 for how to do this.

In the Product Manual refer to the sections below to make the installation application specific:
CHAPTER 3
CHAPTER 4
IMPORTANT
The main contactor should never be
operated by any means other than the
drive's internal controls, nor should
any additional circuitry be placed
around the contactor coil circuit.
Zero speed =
Terminal A1,
0V input
STOP (C3 = 0V)
At 20% setpoint:
The 590+ drive (4Q) can stop in approximately 2 seconds (the drive
decelerates the motor to zero speed at a rate determined by the STOP
0 TIME and MAIN CURR.LIMIT parameter values).
0
The 591C drive (2Q) can coast stop.
Caution
The drive is powered-up and operating using Armature Volts Feedback.

SPEED FBK SELECT 47 See below
Determines the source of the speed feedback signal. The default, ARM VOLTS FBK,
uses internal circuitry to derive the speed feedback. The other selections require the
appropriate external device to provide the feedback signal.
0 : ARM VOLTS FBK
1 : ANALOG TACH
2 : ENCODER
3 : E N C O D E R A / N A L O G – f r o P a k r r e u s e
ENCODER LINES 24 10 to 5000
The number of lines must be set to match the type of encoder being used.
Incorrect setting of this parameter will result in an erroneous speed measurement.
The 5901 microtach has 1000 lines per revolution as standard. Proprietary encoders
of other specifications can be normalised by setting this parameter as appropriate.
ENCODER RPM 22 0 to 6000
Motor top speed setting (100%) when using encoder feedback.
ENCODER SIGN 49 NEGATIVE / POSITIVE
Since the encoder feedback cannot be reversed electrically, the signal polarity can
be reversed by the control software.
It is necessary to set up this parameter when in encoder feedback closed-loop speed
control mode, as the encoder direction must be correct for this mode to operate.
