1.3.2 S4IF Interface Board Specifications ® IMPULSE •G+ & VG+ Series 4 is designed to interface with user input and output devices through the S4IF interface board. This eliminates the need for an additional interface relay or isolation circuitry. The S4IF comes in 24 VDC, 24 VAC (50/60 Hz), 42 to 48 VAC (50/60 Hz), and 120 VAC (50/60 Hz) options.
2 Installation WARNING ® • When preparing to mount the IMPULSE •G+ & VG+ Series 4 VFD, lift it by its base. Never lift the VFD by the front cover, as doing so may cause damage or personal injury. • Mount the VFD on nonflammable material.
Variable frequency drives (VFD) contain large bus capacitors that have the potential to be reformed. However, printed circuit boards also contain electrolytic capacitors that may not function after several years without power. Magnetek recommends replacing the PCBs should the VFD’s functionality not be restored after bus cap reforming. Contact Magnetek Service for questions.

2.4 Installation Orientation Figure 2-2: Standard Installation Orientation 2.5 Installing the VFD (Recommended Clearances) The following two figures show the recommended minimum clearances when mounting the VFD in standard or side-by-side installations. If the recommended clearances can't be met, decreased airflow may reduce the life of the VFD.
2.6 Installing the VFD (Side-by-Side) Models 2003 to 2075, 4001 to 4039, and 5001 to 5027 can take advantage of Side-by-Side installation. It is recommended to set parameter L08-35 = 1 when mounting VFDs in a side-by-side configuration. This provides a more conservative OL2 overload protection.
2.7 VFD Derating Data 2.7.1 Temperature Derating To ensure the maximum performance life, the VFD output current must be derated when it is installed in areas with high ambient temperature or if VFDs are mounted side-by-side in a cabinet. In order to ensure reliable VFD overload protection, set parameters L08-12 and L08-35 according to the installation conditions.
3 Wiring 3.1 Wiring Practices WARNING Before you wire the VFD, review the following practices to help ensure that your system is wired properly. • Recommended wire is to be rated for minimum 75°C, 600 VAC, vinyl sheathed. • Ensure that the encoder wiring is less than 300 feet unless fiber optic cables are used. •...
Page 31
• When using more than one transformer for the VFD's power, properly phase each transformer. • To reverse the direction of rotation, program B03-04 = 1 (exchange phases), or interchange any two motor leads (changing R/L1, S/L2, or T/L3 will not affect the shaft rotation direction) as well as encoder phasing (F01-02 = 0/1 or swapping A and A wires).

Ideally, perform a standard Auto-Tune with the motor uncoupled from the load. When the motor cannot be decoupled, perform a static or non-rotating Auto- Tune. NOTE: Contact Magnetek’s service department if an auto-tune cannot be performed. Table 4-11: Auto-Tuning Parameter Settings Parameter...
4.4.1 Standard Auto-Tune (T01-01 = 0) ® This is a rotational Auto-Tuning method for the IMPULSE •VG+ Series 4 VFD which allows for Auto-Tuning on an unloaded or decoupled motor. This method requires that the motor be unloaded or decoupled from the load with the brake disengaged. The instructions below will provide a step-by-step procedure to complete the non-rotational segment of this Auto- Tune function: 1.
4.4.2 Non-Rotational Auto-Tune (T01-01 = 1) ® A non-rotational Auto-Tuning method has been implemented into the IMPULSE •VG+ Series 4 VFD which allows for Auto-Tuning without decoupling the motor. This method will require a short movement of the crane subsequent to the non-rotational Auto-Tune process which allows the VFD to calibrate the Motor Rated Slip and No-Load Current.
4.4.4 Non-Rotational 2 Auto-Tune (T01-01 = 4) ® This is a non-rotational Auto-Tuning method for the IMPULSE •VG+ Series 4 VFD which allows for Auto-Tuning without decoupling the motor. This method is recommended when the motor cannot be decoupled, and the Motor Rated Slip is known. If the Motor Rated Slip is not known, then the Non-Rotational 1 (T01-01 = 1) is recommended.

Speed parameters included in this section are listed below: • B01 Speed References • B02 Reference Limits • B03 Sequence/Reference Source •...
5.1.2 Reference Limits These parameters limit the frequency range as a percentage of maximum output frequency (E01-04). If the lower limit is below the DC Inj Start Freq (D01-01), then operation will continue according to B03-05. An alternate upper limit frequency can be used during operation when a Multi-Function Digital Input (MFDI) is set to 59 (Alt F-Ref Up Lmt) and the MFDI is on.
5.1.3 Run/Reference Source B03-01 and B03-02 determine the source from where the frequency reference and RUN command are generated. Table 5-4: Sequence/Reference Source Parameter Settings Parameter Display Function Range Default B03-01 Ref Source 1 Source from where the frequency reference is generated.
5.1.6 Coast to Stop (B03-03=1) Upon removal of the FWD or REV run command, the motor starts to coast and the electric brake sets. Figure 5-3: Coast to Stop 5.1.7 Decel w/Timer (B03-03=4) NOTE: This option is only available in traverse motion. Upon run command removal, the motor decelerates to stop.

5.1.12 Acceleration/Deceleration Acceleration time sets the time necessary for the output frequency to accelerate from 0 Hz to maximum output frequency (E01-04). Deceleration time sets the time necessary for the output frequency to decelerate from the maximum output frequency (E01-04) to 0 Hz. Table 5-10: Acceleration/Deceleration Parameter Settings Parameter Display...
5.1.13 Accel/Decel Time Switching Frequency Accel/Decel times can be changed automatically without using multi-function inputs. When multi-function digital inputs are set for Accel/Decel selection, this command has priority over automatic change of Accel/Decel. Table 5-11: Accel/Decel Time Switching Frequency Parameter Settings Parameter Display Function...
5.1.14 Jump Frequencies This function allows the “jumping” of critical frequencies so that the motor can operate without resonant vibrations caused by some machine systems. This function is also used for deadband control. Setting the value to 0.0 Hz disables this function. Table 5-12: Jump Frequencies Parameter Settings Parameter Display...
5.1.15 Field Forcing The Field Forcing function compensates the delaying influence of the motor time constant when changing the excitation current reference and improves motor responsiveness.

5.2.2 Reverse Plug Simulation™ The Reverse Plug Simulation provides an automatic alternate deceleration time/acceleration time at a change direction command. The deceleration time and the acceleration time are set independently of the normal acceleration and deceleration times. NOTE: Reverse Plug Simulation is not available in MLB (standard) Hoist. Table 5-16: Reverse Plug Simulation Parameter Display...
5.2.3 Micro-Speed™ Micro-Speed provides a reduced speed range operation for precise positioning. Enabled by a Multi-Function Input, it multiplies the normal speed reference by the Micro-Speed Gain. Two Micro-Speed Gains are available: Gain 1 (C02-01) and Gain 2 (C02-02). They can be adjusted and enabled independently. Table 5-17: Micro-Speed Parameter Settings Parameter Display...
5.2.4 End of Travel Limits This function can automatically slow and stop a crane or hoist when it reaches the end of travel limits. Two types of limit inputs (slowdown and stop) are available in both travel directions. Inputs can be programmed through the S4IF card.
5.2.5 Phantom Stop Phantom Stop allows quick identification of a faulted VFD while stopping other VFDs with Phantom Stop enabled. The Phantom Stop feature is designed to stop the VFD operation using the stopping method selected in C03-10 when a Phantom Fault input (H01-01–H01-08 = 5F or 63) is active. The VFD will indicate a Phantom Fault has occurred by blinking the LED on the RUN key in sequence of two short bursts.
NOTE: 1. The Limit Switch stopping method is not selectable in Load Sharing mode. If a Stop Limit is input, the output is turned off and the brake output will set immediately. 2. Weight Limit Input (H01-xx = 12 or 62) — Upper Limit 3 is always active regardless of the setting of parameter C03-11.
5.2.8 Hook Height Measurement ® Hook Height Measurement is an IMPULSE •VG+ Series 4 feature that provides a monitor parameter (U01-50) and analog output proportional to the hook’s current position between a home position and a limit position. Hook height programming is used in conjunction with the Electronic Programmable Limit Switch parameters.
5.2.9 Electronic Programmable Limit Switches (EPLS) Using the motor revolutions (U01-51) from the Height measurement function, it is possible to program UL1, UL2, LL1, and LL2 positions without the use of rotary limit switches. When C03-16, C03-17, C03-18, or C03-19 has a value other than 0, the EPLS function will be enabled.
5.2.10 Lower Limit/Upper Limit Bypass MFDI The Limit Bypass allows for the following without the use of jumpers or re-programming parameters: 1. Ease of testing of the Weighted Upper Limit Switch (UL3) or re-homing the Height Measurement function, and 2. To allow changing of the wire ropes, i.e. spooling all the rope off of the hoist drum. NOTE: The momentary key-switch to operate this function should only be accessible to maintenance personnel, not the crane operator.
5.2.11 Load Float When Load Float (C08-10) is enabled, it maintains the motor shaft at a stationary position with brake open. The Load Float 2 (MFDI=35) function triggers the VFD to go into Load Float for the time set in C04-01. During Load Float, the VFD will open the brake and hold the motor at a zero position.
5.2.12.3 Load Check II Set Up (C05-01 = 09) The Load Check II set up procedure will quickly measure and calculate the current or torque required at each of the Load Check Zones starting with the rated load suspended. These values will automatically be stored in parameters C05-09 through C05-24 during the Load Check II set up process.

5.2.14 Torque Limit ® IMPULSE •G+ and VG+ Series 4 VFDs dynamically control the torque output of the motor while running. The Torque Limit Function limits the amount of torque the motor is capable of producing in Open and Closed loop vector control.
5.2.15 Anti-Shock ® Anti-Shock is a Hoist NLB feature on the IMPULSE •VG+ Series 4 VFD in the Flux Vector control method. The torque output of the hoist is continuously monitored, and when it increases above a threshold (C07-15 and C07- 16), the hoist automatically decelerates and waits for the torque to stabilize before smoothly re-accelerating (C07- 17 and C07-18).

5.2.16 No-Load Brake Hoist (VG+) The No-Load Brake Hoist mode provides a start and stop sequence designed specifically for No-Load Brake Hoists. This mode is enabled automatically when the Motion is set to NLB Hoist (A01-03 = 2). This will also automatically set the Stopping Method to No-Load Brake (B03-03 = 6).
Page 103
Dual Brake Feature The Dual Brake feature is designed for hoist systems with redundant holding brakes. One brake is controlled by an MFDO programmed to 00, and the second brake is controlled by an MFDO programmed to 0A. After a Load Float, during the BE6 (Brake Test) time, one brake is left Open, while the VFD tests that the Closed brake is capable of holding the load.

5.2.19 Weight Measurement ® The IMPULSE •G+ & VG+ Series 4 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 VFD must pause the acceleration, wait for the torque to stabilize, and then perform the weight calculation based on the system tare values.
VFD with the use of the VFD’s RS-485 Memobus interface, similar to the architecture implemented with Magnetek’s RDSI systems. An analog interface can also be implemented, but it is important to understand the analog input and output resolution’s effect on feedback accuracy before implementation.
5.2.20 Slack Cable Detection ® IMPULSE •VG+ Series 4 offers Slack Cable Detection for hoist applications. 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 six selections. The Slack Cable Detection is not executed, unless both of the following conditions are true: •...

It corresponds to Slack Cable Detection Speed 1 (C11-04). Prevents false outputs. C11-06 SLC Detect Spd 2 The Frequency Output below which the enabled 0–E01-04 Hz Slack Cable Detection can be activated.
5.2.22 Brake Delay Timers This function is used in trolley or bridge applications. It can reduce the mechanical brake wear when the operator positions a load. This function is available only in traverse mode and B03-03 must be set to 4 (Decel With Timer). Table 5-38: Delay Timers Parameter Settings Parameter Display...
5.2.24 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 (H02-0x–08 = 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.
5.2.26 Inch Control The Inch Control function can be enabled by programming H01-01–08 = 17, 18, and 19, respectively. The frequency reference used during inching is determined by B01-17 (Jog Reference). CAUTION A directional input is not needed to enable motor torque. Table 5-42: Inch Control Parameter Settings Parameter Display...
5.2.27 Index Control ® Index Control is an IMPULSE •VG+ Series 4 feature that allows for precise movement of the motor each time a run command is applied by the operator and the Index function is enabled by a Multi-Function Input (H01-xx = 60). This function can only be used with Traverse (A01-03 = 0) and No Load Brake (A01-03 = 2) motions in Flux Vector Control Method (A01-02 = 3) and with any Speed Reference setting for A01-04.
Page 117
During Run If the motor is in motion when the Index function is turned ON, the VFD will decelerate to zero and hold the position in Load Float. After a Run command is applied, the VFD will Index the load and hold the position in Load Float after the Index is complete.
5.3.2 Motor 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. D02-01 sets the slip compensation gain. When the gain is “1.0”, the output frequency is increased by 1% of the E01-06 setting at rated current. A setting of “0.0”...

5.3.4.1 Adjusting the ASR Parameters in FLV The VFD is preset to use ASR settings D04-01/02 over the entire speed range in Flux Vector. If required by the application, a second set of ASR parameters (D04-03/04) can be automatically activated depending on the motor speed or by using a digital input.
Table 5-47: ASR Tuning Parameter Settings Parameter Display Function Range Default D04-01 ASR P Gain 1 Sets the proportional gain of the speed control 0.00–300.00 20.00 loop (ASR). D04-02 ASR I Time 1 Sets the integral time of the speed control loop 0.000–10.000 sec 0.500 (ASR).
The switching frequency (D04-07) can also be controlled with a digital input programmed to “ASR gain switch” (H01-xx = 37). When the terminal is open, the VFD uses the ASR gain level set by the pattern in Figure 5-19 above. When the terminal closes, D04-03 is used. The integral time set to D04-02 is used to change linearly between these settings, as shown in Figure 5-20 below.
5.3.5.1 Speed/Torque Control Switching Speed control or torque control is used in traverse applications and can be selected “on the fly” with the VG+ VFD by using the digital input speed/torque control selection (H01-xx = 34). Table 5-49: Speed/Torque Control Switch Parameters Terminal Parameter Setting...

5.4.2 Motor Setup The E02 parameter group defines the motor characteristics. Normally, the default settings for E02 parameters are determined by kVA selection (O02-04). In flux vector and open loop vector, the E02 parameters will be set automatically during auto-tuning. At minimum, the motor rated current should be entered into E02-01. If rotational auto-tuning cannot be performed, E02-02 and E02-05 can be calculated using the motor’s nameplate information or by performing non-rotational auto-tuning.
5.4.3 Test Mode Configuration Test Mode is a troubleshooting aid that is intended for troubleshooting Flux Vector control method problems. This feature cannot be left on indefinitely, as it will generate a fault after being on for a total accumulated time of ten minutes.

6.2 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.
8. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), only then should the speed deviation detection levels be adjusted. NOTE: The reaction time necessary to stop a load is limited to the lift of the hoist and the response time of the hoist brakes.
6.2.3 Fault Code: BE1–Rollback Fault 6.2.3.1 Definition The BE1 fault indicates that the VFD has released the brake, but has not started to accelerate the motor when it detects more than the expected encoder feedback. A BE1 fault will occur if the pulses received during the BE1 detection time (C08-04) are greater than the expected number of pulses (C08-05).
5. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), the brake may need to be replaced. NOTE: It is desirable to have the Current Feedback Timer set as low as possible without causing nuisance trips. 6.2.5 Fault Code: BE3–Brake Release Fault 6.2.5.1 Definition The BE3 fault indicates that the VFD has released the brake and commanded the VFD to run, but has not detected...
6.2.6 Alarm Code: BE6–Brake Proving Alarm 6.2.6.1 Definition The BE6 alarm indicates that the VFD has commanded the brake to set but it has detected more encoder pulse feedback than expected. A BE6 alarm will occur if the number of pulses received during the BE6 detection time (C08-12) is greater than the expected number of pulses (C08-13).
6.2.7 Alarm Code: BE8–Brake Slipping Alarm 6.2.7.1 Definition The BE8 alarm indicates that the VFD has detected that the brake slipping after the brake is set. A BE8 alarm will occur if the VFD detects that the load is moving greater than the brake Slip Detection Speed (C08-23) when the brake is set.
6.2.8 Fault Code: OC–Over Current Fault 6.2.8.1 Definition An over current fault is caused if the output current exceeds 200% of the VFD 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.
6.3 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 keypad displays that fault contents; the motor coasts to stop if it is under operation. Fault contact output or minor fault contact output does not operate.
