MAX-430 drive. It is assumed that the reader is trained in the use of mechanical and electrical test equipment and is familiar with basic servo system maintenance procedures.
The command signal to the power drive can be monitored at the ICMD output. The MAX-430 is a 16 kHz pulse-width modulation (PWM), switching type drive that reduces system power losses. Motor speed is precisely controlled down to a maximum torque, low velocity condition.
Internal Adjustments Jumpers There are jumpers on the velocity regulator board of the MAX-430 to indicate desired operation of the Forward and Reverse Amplifier Clamps and the System Status Output (FAC, RAC, and SSO). There are also jumpers used to indicate desired operation of the optically isolated tran- sistors on FAC, RAC and inhibit (INH) inputs.
Installation Inputs and Outputs with Jumpers P6 through P9A (continued) ABLE Jumper Pins Position Operation Page External Opto Power Customer supplies power (24V) to opto’s on 2-11 FAC, RAC and INHibit inputs. External Sourcing Opto’s Opto’s are sourcing inputs (pulled up to 24V 2-11 by external power when true).
Example: You are using a MAX-430 drive and 0644-35-021 motor, and you are unsure of the exact speed and torque in your application. Look at the speed/torque curve for your drive/motor combi- nation as shown in the Electro-Craft catalog and use the values for the worst case continuous speed and torque.
Installation AC and DC Power Connections AC input power to the MAX-430 must be supplied by an isolation transformer with an output of 20-85 VAC. Refer to “Transformer Sizing” on page 2-3. Alternatively the MAX-430 may be supplied with 30-120 VDC.
Installation Intro 230 VAC Input Power/Motor Wiring IGURE Intro +(30-120) VDC Input Power/Motor Wiring IGURE The isolated AC supply may be common to more than one drive as shown in the “Multiple Axis Power Wiring” diagrams below. The power leads from each drive should terminate at the trans- former terminals as shown on the drawing.
Auxiliary power input at TB1 pins 9 and 10, only the logic supply is powered. This is useful when the operational status of the MAX-430 drive is needed at the SSO output (P1 pin 6) without applying main power. See “AC and DC Power Connections” on page 2-4.
Installation Intro Proper shielding is recommended. The shield may be connected to common (P1 pin 4) or to common on controller end of wire. The connections shown are with factory default jumper settings. See “Internal Connec- tions (FAC, RAC and INH)” on page 2-11, for details on connections for other jumper set- tings.
2-10 Installation Connecting Inputs Velocity Command Signal (VCS) Function This input controls motor speed and direction. When a positive voltage is applied to pin 1 with respect to pin 2, the motor shaft will rotate CW as viewed from the shaft end of the motor. A negative voltage applied to pin 1 with respect to pin 2 will result in counterclockwise (CCW) rotation.
Installation 2-11 Connection FAC: P1 pin 9 RAC: P1 pin 10 (Refer to “Internal Connections (FAC, RAC and INH)” below.) Internal Connections (FAC, RAC and INH) The following circuit diagrams apply to FAC, RAC and INH inputs, so that all three inputs must operate in the same manner.

System Status Output (SSO) Function This output signal provides information on the operational status of the MAX-430 drive. With jumpers P9 and P9A in the SSO open collector output setting shown in the figures “SSO - Open Collector Sourcing” and “SSO - Open Collector Sinking”, the SSO signal is assigned a logic level “1”...
Installation 2-15 Motor Current Output (MCO 0-10V) Function The motor current output is an analog voltage which is proportional to the motor current. The scaling of this signal is proportional to the absolute value of the motor current, such that MCO is 10V when motor current is either 30 amps or -30 amps (±10%).
2-16 Installation Typical Wiring Examples Intro The connections shown are with jumpers in factory default settings. See “Internal Connec- tions (FAC, RAC and INH)” on page 2-11 for details on connections for other jumper set- tings.

MAX-430 drive. The 50 kW potentiometer may be adjusted to obtain the desired speed ratio between the two drives. Two MAX-430 drives can also be wired for a torque sharing application. The wiring is the same as below, except the voltage to the second drive is supplied from the MCO output on P2 pin 7 instead of the MVO output.
Applying Power for the First Time HAPTER Setup Checklist As an option, the drive and motor could be set up on a test bench before installation, by following the Start-up Procedure. Intro WARNING If the polarity of the tachometer is not connected to the drive correctly, the motor will run away which could damage the load and may cause bodily injury.
Applying Power for the First Time Start-up Procedure with Tach (Velocity Mode) This procedure assumes the motor is not connected to a load initially and a controller interface is not connected to the drive. During the procedure the motor is connected to the load. 1.
Applying Power for the First Time 13. Set the velocity command at approximately 0 VDC from the voltage source, and apply power to the drive (with drive still enabled). Rotate the VCS gain potentiometer to the full CW position. 14. Slowly increase the voltage applied at VCS+ from the velocity command voltage source from 0 VDC to the maximum command (generally ±10 VDC) and adjust the TACH gain for the desired maximum motor RPM.
VCS Signal and Scaling (VCS) The MAX-430 drive can be more finely tuned by looking at the response to a step VCS input on an oscilloscope. The equipment needed is a signal generator and an oscilloscope.
Applying Power for the First Time Start-up Procedure without Tach (Torque Mode) This procedure assumes the motor is not connected to a load and a controller interface is not connected to the drive. 1. Connect motor wiring. Refer to “AC and DC Power Connections” on page 2-4 2.
Torque Mode Operation Operation The MAX-430 drive can also operate in torque mode (or current mode), such that a controller would provide an analog voltage signal proportional to the desired motor torque. For use as a torque drive, a jumper must be installed from P2 pin 1 to P2 pin 2. With the VCS gain fully clockwise, a 10 volt VCS signal applied to the drive will yield a 30 amp output to the motor.

To check and/or replace either fuse: 1. Measure voltages at TB1 pin 6 and pin 7 and at TB1 pin 9 and pin 10 to insure incoming power is OFF. Make sure that the green READY LED is OFF. Remove the MAX-430 cover.
