  • Page 110: Lifting/Torque Proving

    Application Notes Lifting/Torque Proving The lifting/torque proving feature of the PowerFlex 700 is intended for applications where proper coordination between motor control and a mechanical brake is required. Prior to releasing a mechanical brake, the drive will check motor output phase continuity and verify proper motor control (torque proving).
  • Page 111 Application Notes ATTENTION: To guard against personal injury and/or equipment damage caused by unexpected brake release, verify Digital Out 1 brake connections and/or programming. The default drive configuration energizes the Digital Out 1 relay when power is applied to the drive. If the brake is connected to this relay, it could be released.
  • Page 112 Application Notes Rotate AutoTune Test ATTENTION: In this test the following conditions will occur: • The motor will be run for 12 seconds at base frequency (60 Hz). Note that equipment travel during this 12 second interval may exceed equipment limits. However, travel distance can be reduced by setting [Maximum Speed], parameter 82 to a value less than 45 Hz (i.e.
  • Page 113 Application Notes Installation/Wiring When [TorqProve Cnfg] is set to “Enable,” the Digital Out 1 relay is used to control the external brake contactor. The normally open (N.O.) contact, when closed, is intended to energize the contactor. This provides the mechanical brake with voltage, causing the brake to release. Any interruption of power to the contactor will set the mechanical brake.
  • Page 114 Application Notes Torque Proving When the drive receives a start command to begin a lifting operation, the following actions occur: 1. The drive first performs a transistor diagnostic test to check for phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground shorts. A failure status from either of these tests will result in a drive fault and the brake relay will NOT be energized (brake remains set).

  • Page 115: Minimum Speed

    Application Notes Speed Monitoring / Speed Band Limit This routine is intended to fault the drive if the difference between the speed reference and the encoder feedback is larger than the value set in [Spd Dev Band], parameter 602 and the drive is NOT making any progress toward the reference.

  • Page 116: Motor Control Technology

    Application Notes Motor Control Technology Within the PowerFlex family there are several motor control technologies: • Torque Producers • Torque Controllers • Speed Regulators Torque Producers Volts/Hertz This technology follows a specific pattern of voltage and frequency output to the motor, regardless of the motor being used. The shape of the V/Hz curve can be controlled a limited amount, but once the shape is determined, the drive output is fixed to those values.
  • Page 117 Application Notes This technology is excellent for those applications where torque control, rather than mere torque production, is key to the success of the process. These include web handling, demanding extruders and lifting applications such as hoists or material handling. Vector Control can operate in one of two configurations: 1.

  • Page 118: Motor Overload

    C-10 Application Notes Motor Overload For single motor applications the drive can be programmed to protect the motor from overload conditions. An electronic thermal overload I function emulates a thermal overload relay. This operation is based on three parameters; [Motor NP FLA], [Motor OL Factor] and [Motor OL Hertz] (parameters 042, 048 and 047, respectively).

  • Page 119: Overspeed

    Application Notes C-11 [Motor NP FLA] is multiplied by [Motor OL Factor] to select the rated current for the motor thermal overload. This can be used to raise or lower the level of current that will cause the motor thermal overload to trip. The effective overload factor is a combination of [Motor OL Hertz] and [Motor OL Factor].

Three distinct bands can be Skip Band 1 Skip Frequency 1 programmed. If none of the skip bands touch or overlap, each band has its own high/low limit.

  • Page 127: Sleep Wake Mode

    Application Notes C-19 Sleep Wake Mode This function stops (sleep) and starts (wake) the drive based on separately configurable analog input levels rather than discrete start and stop signals. When enabled in “Direct” mode, the drive will start (wake) when an analog signal is greater than or equal to the user specified [Wake Level], and stop the drive when an analog signal is less than or equal to the user specified [Sleep Level].
