NXGPro+ Control Description 4.7 Control Modes 4.7.5 Open Loop Test Mode (OLTM) CAUTION Open loop test mode (OLTM) is used for test purposes during commissioning only. Do not use this mode to control a motor. In OLTM the motor current feedback signals are ignored. This control mode is used during drive setup, when the modulation on the cells is to be verified, or when testing the drive without a load.
NXGPro+ Control Description 4.7 Control Modes 4.7.6 Synchronous Motor Control (SMC) For synchronous motor control (SMC), the drive is equipped with a field exciter that usually consists of a SCR based current regulator. The field exciter operates to maintain a field current level that is commanded by the flux regulator.
NXGPro+ Control Description 4.7 Control Modes Determining motor speed SMC avoids the need to scan the motor frequency to determine motor speed. The control uses information from the rotor-induced speed voltages on the stator to determine rotor speed. The drive begins, in the magnetizing state, by giving a field current command that is equal to the no- load field current setting to the exciter.
NXGPro+ Control Description 4.7 Control Modes 4.7.8 Closed Loop Vector Control (CLVC or CSMC) Closed loop vector control (CLVC or CSMC) is used for more precise speed control and for higher torque at lower speeds.

Operating the Control Functions Introduction This chapter covers the NXGPro+ control related operating functions of the drive. General and application specific drive features are covered. Where applicable, the functions are described by listing first the feature and then the associated menu parameters. For more advanced drive features, refer to Chapter Advanced Operating Functions.
Operating the Control 7.2 Frame of Reference Frame of Reference Assignment of motor control signals The control signals controlling the motor are assigned a polarity for use over four quadrants of control to maintain consistency of the algorithms. This section clarifies what the control signals are and what their polarities mean in the various quadrants.

Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass Cell Bypass 7.4.1 Fast Bypass (U11) Fast bypass is a feature that limits the interruption of torque to a process by less than ½ second if a cell failure is detected. This helps to prevent operational down-time as a small interruption in output torque of a medium voltage drive can cause a process to stop.
Two levels of security must be used to activate this feature. • The Factory or Siemens authorized personnel must have access to allow it to work at both Idle and Run drive states. Since this could cause a problem while running, it is not available for general purpose.
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass Tool Suite or keypad. No permanent record is kept as to the status of the cell bypass, therefore if control power is interrupted, the bypass will be reset. Removing MV will also cause the bypass contactors to open.
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass Figure 7-2 Typical Power Cell with Bypass Contactor Once the control detects that a cell has failed, it sends a command to close the appropriate contactor. Closing the contactor simultaneously disconnects the cell output from the circuit and connects the two adjacent cells together.
Page 188
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass The following figures illustrate the voltage available from a Perfect Harmony drive for different cell failure examples. The cells, represented by circles, are shown as simple voltage sources. 15 cell drive in which no cells are bypassed The following figure shows a 15 cell drive with no cells bypassed.
Page 189
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass Drive output rebalanced by bypassing functional cells (not using neutral shift) One solution is to bypass an equal number of cells in all three phases, even though some may not have failed. This method prevents imbalance but sacrifices voltage capability. The example below shows a 15 cell drive after bypass of two cells in all phases to restore balance.
Page 190
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass Figure 7-6 Drive Output rebalanced using neutral shift This neutral shift approach can be applied to more extreme situations. Using neutral shift after loss of three cells This example shows a 15 cell drive: five cells remain in phase A; one cell has failed in phase B; two cells have failed in phase C.
Page 191
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass Using neutral shift after loss of five cells This example shows a 15 cell drive: five cells remain in phase A; two cells have failed in phase B; three cells have failed in phase C. Without neutral shift, one functional cell would be bypassed in phase B, and three functional cells would be bypassed in phase A.
Page 192
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass Available voltage after failure with and without neutral shift The following graph compares the available voltage after a failure with and without using neutral shift. In many cases, the extra voltage available with neutral shift will determine whether or not a cell failure can be tolerated.
Page 193
Operating the Control 7.4 Cell Bypass If after cell bypass, the drive has six cells operational in phase A, five cells in phase B, and four cells in phase C, then the maximum voltage that the drive can produce with neutral shift from the above formula is 5.53 kV: Vout_bypass = 7370 * (2 * 6 - 3) / (2 * 6) = 5.53 kV With X = 1 + 2 = 3, because 2 cells in phase C and 1 cell in phase B are bypassed.
Operating the Control 7.5 Energy Saver Energy Saver Improve the Power Factor with Energy Saver Control Energy saver control reduces motor losses and improves overall efficiency when the demanded motor load is low. This is accomplished by lowering the flux from rated when the load torque is not required, thereby lowering the reactive current.
Operating the Control 7.6 Power Monitoring (A67-A68) Power Monitoring (A67-A68) The drive may require Power Quality Meters (PQMs). The control provides PQMs as a built-in functionality. The drive determines and displays information about the drive input and output, as the control processes the input waveforms and continuously samples the drive output.

TOL prevents the motor from being subjected to excessive temperatures that could lead to overheating. This software model does not measure the motor temperature directly;...

Advanced Operating Functions 8.2 Frequency (Speed) Regulator Frequency (Speed) Regulator A frequency regulator generates the motor’s torque-producing current reference. The stator frequency reference (ω ) is generated from the output of the slip compensator. The stator s,ref frequency (ω ) comes from phase lock loop, an estimate of the actual stator frequency. The frequency regulator is evaluated at 1/5 of the inner current loop update rate.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.3 Overmodulation Overmodulation Overmodulation To achieve increased voltage with the same number of cells, cells can be overmodulated. This is done automatically in air-cooled 6SR4 and 6SR5 drives and water-cooled 6SR325 drives. For other drive types, set the OverModulationEnable_O SOP flag true for overmodulation of cells.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.4 Slip Compensation Slip Compensation NEMA B induction motors require slip of the rotor speed (rpm) relative to the stator speed (frequency) to develop torque. The amount of slip is directly affected by the loading of the machine.
Page 239
Advanced Operating Functions 8.4 Slip Compensation Calculation of desired Shaft Speed with Slip Compensation If a speed other than synchronous speed is desired for shaft rotation, use the following equation to calculate the desired speed demand. With slip compensation, subtract the slip frequency from the output frequency (f ) to ensure that the mechanical speed matches the desired speed.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.5 Speed Droop Speed Droop Speed droop is the decrease in the speed of a motor with a constant voltage and frequency when the motor is under load. The difference between the synchronous (unloaded) speed of the motor and the full load speed is known as slip.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.6 Flux Regulator Flux Regulator The flux regulator generates the magnetizing motor current reference. The flux reference (λ ) is generated from the control’s flux ramp.

Advanced Operating Functions 8.9 Dual-Frequency Braking Dual-Frequency Braking 8.9.1 Dual-Frequency Braking VFD requirements for Braking Functionality Many applications for VFDs require occasional negative torque for braking. Most static converters used for VFDs are not capable of returning energy to the utility. Such applications require additional circuits to regenerate the braking energy into the AC mains, or to dissipate the braking energy in a resistor.

Advanced Operating Functions 8.9 Dual-Frequency Braking With DFB, motor protection is required and is applied as follows: 1. Torque pulsations: – DFB can subject the motor to as much as 1 per unit torque pulsation at the pulsation frequency. Select the torque pulsation frequency via the menu entry for pulsation frequency to avoid any mechanical resonance frequencies.

The following is a scope picture of the two voltage vectors added together. The higher frequency voltage waveform VA2 is riding on the lower frequency waveform VA1.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.9 Dual-Frequency Braking goal of maximizing losses per ampere, this automatically minimizes the torque pulsations by minimizing the loss-inducing current. The dominant losses in a motor are conduction losses, proportional to I R. Maximum losses per ampere require a large value of R. The nominal resistance of the motor windings is fixed by the design.
With high efficiency and inverter duty motors, the braking torque that can be achieved with DFB is lower than the values shown in the figure above. Contact Siemens customer service with the motor-related data listed below to determine the braking torque capability with a higher efficiency motor. Information on critical frequencies will allow a selection for the torque pulsation frequency.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.10 Regenerative Braking (six-step) 8.10 Regenerative Braking (six-step) 8.10.1 Regen Braking (Six-Step) Some cells have an active front end (AFE), which allows regeneration power to flow from the drive output to input.

Additional hardware requirements Synchronous transfer requires hardware in addition to the drive: output reactor and switchgear. Siemens recommends using a PLC for multi-motor applications. • Up transfer is the process of transferring a VFD-controlled motor to the line, and then decoupling the motor from the drive.
VFD Synchronous Transfer Implementation (L29) VFD Synchronous Transfer Implementation Synchronous transfer is inherent to NXGPro+ control. To optimize this feature, Siemens engineering must be involved, regardless of scope of supply, in the switchgear configuration and logic sequencing for both equipment safety and personnel safety. Siemens engineering can supply switchgear and reactors as part of the drive or provide recommendations as needed.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.17 Synchronous Transfer Potential Fault Conditions During synchronous transfer there are three alarm/fault conditions that can occur: • Up Transfer timeout (alarm): – Means that the transfer has taken longer than allocated in the "Up transfer timeout" menu (ID 2760).

A PLC must be used for multiple motor synchronous transfer applications. The PLC and its logic can be supplied by Siemens to coordinate the transfer sequence and also control the switchgear. In addition, motor protection relays are recommended since the VFD cannot protect a motor operating from the line.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.17 Synchronous Transfer It is not required that all motors connected to a drive configured for synchronous transfer have matching ratings. If mismatched motors are implemented, the drive must be sized for the worst case load. "Smaller" motor loads can be mechanized via parameter read/write functionality or the NXGPro+ control multiple configuration file capability, as described in Chapter Operating the Software.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.17 Synchronous Transfer Example of supported communications protocol Modicon’s Modbus communications protocol: • A Modicon-compatible PLC interface is located at each motor control center. • The PLCs are networked to a main Modbus controller, e.g. a PC, and the communications board on the drive.

Advanced Operating Functions 8.19 Pre-charge using Dedicated I/O – No input protection fault Note Cells in bypass If any cells are in bypass prior to losing MV, their respective bypass contactor is opened since the bypass contactor power supply is energized by one phase of the MV input. During the subsequent pre-charge, if the cell is detected as faulted, pre-charge will pause indefinitely until a manual drive reset is activated.

Advanced Operating Functions 8.20 Paralleling Multiple Drives 8.20 Paralleling Multiple Drives It is possible to combine multiple drives in parallel to provide a higher power output than is available from a single drive. There are two possible implementations of paralleling drives with NXGpro control.
Page 319
Advanced Operating Functions 8.20 Paralleling Multiple Drives The drive requires the use of a PLC to provide average I to each drive over a network. This is used to modify the flux demand through the flux droop scaler. Since flux is provided through induction from the stator to the rotor which is fed by both drives, flux feedback to each drive must be precise to control the contribution of each drive.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.20 Paralleling Multiple Drives 8.20.2 Master-Slave Drive Control The master-slave configuration allows two or more motors that are mechanically coupled together to share load equally. In this implementation, one drive is designated as master, while one or more drives are designated as slave drives. Speed regulation is performed in the master drive, and the slave drives(s) control torque based on a remote torque command from the master.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.21 Torque Mode 8.21 Torque Mode 8.21.1 Torque Mode Torque mode is added for applications needing this specialized feature. Torque reference is input through analog input 3 or the network. It is a modified, saturated speed loop algorithm allowing the torque to be controlled through the torque limit, with fall-back into speed mode, should the torque requirement suddenly drop.
Advanced Operating Functions 8.21 Torque Mode Figure 8-27 Torque Demand Options Depending on the source of the Torque Demand, the appropriate SOP flags and menu settings must be configured. In all cases the TorqueMode_O flag must be set TRUE to use torque mode, and the necessary torque command established through the selected source.

Advanced Operating Functions 8.24 Long Cable Applications 8.24 Long Cable Applications 8.24.1 Cable Inductance Compensation Long cable applications present a challenge as the cables become a significant contribution to the overall load impedance. Compensation for cable inductance affects the output voltage during transient conditions of current based on the output fundamental frequency.
Additional output filtering may be required for extremely long cables to compensate for transmission line effects of the cable impedances and length. Siemens will calculate the impedance values and need for filtering. Stability can be an issue due to cable resonance. This is helped by reducing the current loop gains and reducing the dead time compensation as needed.

Historical Logger Historic Log The historic log records operating data of the drive and is frozen upon detection of a fault. The data recorded consists of both fixed and programmable data points, which are sampled at the slow loop rate, typically 450 Hz. Upon detection of a drive fault by the NXGPro+ software, the fault is recorded at time = 0 and the drive continues to record data for a brief period after the fault.
Historical Logger B.2 Historical Logger Historical Logger The NXGPro+ provides a historical log for continuously logging a series of records consisting of 10 entries. The entries consist of the drive state, seven user programmable variables, and two fault data words. This information is sampled every speed loop update cycle, and is stored in a circular buffer.
