Section 2 - Installation 2.1 Wiring This section provides the necessary information to properly wiring the digital brushless system. 1. Mains connections via transformer or autotransformer. 2. Resolver and motor power wiring. 3. Signals wiring. 4. Other wiring. 2.1.1 Main Connections via Transformer or Autotransformer Figure 2.1 shows the electric diagram for transformer or autotransformer connection (from three-phase mains voltage to 230V).
2.1.2 Soft Start Figure 2.2 shows a current limit circuit for a standard configuration (1 Power Supply and 3 modules): it is not strictly necessary for the system operation, though it is recommended to limit the current through R-S-T phases on power up, as filter capacitors at power supply input are uncharged and can require very high instantaneous current.

2.1.3 Resolver Wiring Each DBM module can be connected up to 3 resolvers via the following connectors: J4 M1 : axis 1 resolver J5 M2 : axis 2 resolver J6 M3 : axis 3 resolver A cable with 4 pair, each pair twisted and individually shielded with an independent overall shield is recommended.

Vickers keyboard or the DBTALK communication program. 2.1.7.1 Vickers Keyboard The Vickers keyboard is an optional accessory product (CG5001 code) which can be used for drive setup and monitoring. The syntax and the list of commands are included in the User's Manual.
Note: a module programmed as "address 4" will automatically assign for the other axes the following addresses, i.e. 5 - 6 (if triple-axis) or 5 (if double-axis); and so on for the next basic addresses. • Check if NP (pole number), MV (max velocity) and MR (max reference) parameters are OK for the application.

Page 54
2.2.5 CNC Priority With CNC, the following procedures must be followed. This way the CNC is the master and the keyboard is the slave, as follows: • Parameters managed by CNC: Drive Enable, Reference Enable, Speed References • Parameters managed by keyboard (or PC): all dynamic parameters (acceleration, KI, KP, etc.), Status and Fault.
2.2.6 Velocity Offset If it is necessary you can adjust the analog velocity offset by providing 0 analog speed reference and setting VO command for an automatic adjustment. A fine adjustment can be done with successive steps via OV command. REMARK: the adjustment of the digital velocity offset must not be used to adjust the analog velocity offset and it is reserved to setup technicians.
2.2.8 Resolver to Encoder (optional) For position sensing a resolver to encoder option (simulated encoder) is available. Encoder signals are 7V, 100 Ω impedance, as follows: • 2 channels of square wave output with a resolution from 128 to 1024 pulses per electrical revolution.
Page 57
2.2.8.1 Setup for the Number of Steps/Revolution From DBM 03 version the number of steps/electrical revolution of simulated encoder can be set via software (see SE commands). REMARK: the maximum number of pulses per electrical revolution depends on the R/D resolution.
Page 58
2.2.8.2 R/D Resolution From DBM 03 version the resolution of Resolver to Digital converter will automatically be switched according to actual speed for optimum system performance between minimum (see RN command) and maximum resolution (see RX command). The speed range of R/D resolution is included in the following table. Tab.

SECTION 3 - COMMANDS AND PROTECTIONS 3.1 General Features For serial communication, according to standard RS485, DBM drives are connected in parallel (multidrop) and in "slave" configuration, whereas the CNC, the PC or the keyboard are in "master" configuration. This is because the protocol is configurated so that the drives are able to communicate only if inquired by the master, to avoid contentions on the line.
Page 62
COMMAND Remark: press <CR> after each command string if Vickers keyboard is used. • • Address: there are three kinds of address: Axis: it is a number from 1 to 9 ( max. number of axes in a system); it identifies the axis selected for data monitoring / input.
Page 63
3.2 Commands All commands available for system management can be used to monitor and execute every datum. To monitor, it is sufficient to enter the address and the command; to execute, the address, the command and the datum must be typed. Tab.
Page 64
3.2.1 Command: AC - Acceleration Function: it allows to set an acceleration ramp.

It can be useful when the drive is connected to rather simple position controllers ( eg.
Page 65
3.2.2 Command: AD - Axis Disabled Function: AD command makes the logic section ignore an axis and the relatives faults. It is useful with DBM 2-axis: if the third axis were not disabled, the logic would reveal resolver fault and motor overtemperature, preventing the drive from running.

Tacho outputs = ±(ET/10) ∗ (MR/100) [V] for ±MV Range: Default: Password:...
Page 76
3.2.20 Command: FA - Fault Function: as only main faults have front panel LED indications, when the generic LED DRVF lights up, it is necessary to interrogate the drive via FA command. The answer is a codified ASCII string (see below). Another function of the command is to reset the faults occurred at logic level (also resettable via push button).

Having a constant amplitude of phase currents, the current vector will rotate at ω r , having a constant amplitude along the period. Hence, conditions of obtaining ripple-free electromagnetic torque are fulfilled. The torque generation and the current control loops are conditioned by the shaft sensor, which is giving the rotor speed and the rotor position information.

From the above equation, one can derive the power of the electromechanical conversion; that is, the power flowing through the machine air gap as the consequence of mutual interaction of the stator and rotor fluxes: ω Ψ π − θ cos( / The electromagnetic torque obtained by dividing the air-gap power with the field frequency: Ψ...
5.3 Current Control Loops Control of the magnetomotive force of the stator is implemented through the PI control of the stator phase currents. That is, the amplitude and the spatial orientation of the vector I s is performed by controlling its components. Equation (3) gives the references of the motor phase currents;...

For the purpose of allowing the matching of DBM with a non standard Vickers motor, these components are mounted on a removable plug-in modules, namely, the PWM90 hybrids.
5.4 Speed and Position Sensing The DBM multiaxes drive is equipped with an interface for resolver-type shaft sensors. These sensors are preferred for the reason of inherent absolute position sensing, much wider operating temperature range than the optical devices, and a robustness intrinsic to the resolver mechanical mounting (that is, the one of an electric machine).
Page 123
The process of extracting the shaft position from the detected signals is done by means of a monolithic R/D converter (see Fig. 3). The key element is the ratiometric resistive net. The digital counter in Fig. 3 contains the shaft position information in the form of a digital word. Specific bits of this digital word are fed to the resistive net, in order to commutate internal resistances within the net.
5.5 Speed Loop The speed control loop is implemented by the Digital Signal Processor fitted into the DBM module control board. The speed reference normally comes from a CNC in the form of +10V/-10V analog signal. Alternatively, the speed reference might be set by a dumb terminal or a PC computer, through the RS485 serial link.

The quantity J in Fig. 5 stands for the total motor+load inertia in [kgm 2 ]. The values of the feedback parameters p and i are influenced by the numerical values KP and KI, imposed by the user via serial link. Moreover, particular control routines performing the correlation and the AWU (Anti Wind Up) are influencing the values of the gains internal to the Digital Signal Processor.

6.2.4 FILTER INSTALLATION - The filter must be mounted on the same panel as the drive. CAUTION: leave a clear space of at least 60mm around the filter for air circulation. - The filter must be connected as close as possible to the drive input. If the separation between filter and drive exceeds around 30 cm (1 ft.) then a flat cable should be used for the RF connection between filter and drive REMARK: when mounting the drive and the filter to the panel, it is essential that any paint or...
