The manual(s) cannot provide all details, variations and contingencies required for your installation, operation and maintenance of this product or the apparatus with this product installed.
  • Page 3 WARNING! Only qualifi ed personnel must install, operate and maintain this equipment. A qualifi ed person is someone technically competent and familiar with all safety information, established safety practices, installation, operation, maintenance and the hazards involved with this equipment and any associated machinery. Hazards This equipment can endanger life through rotating machinery and high voltages.
  • Page 4 Weight Consideration should be given to the weight of our heavier products when handling. Risk assessment Under fault conditions or conditions not intended: the motor speed may be incorrect; the motor speed may be excessive; the direction of rotation may be incorrect; the motor may be energised.
  • Page 5 Hazards The following WARNINGS are contained in the text of this manual. The Hazard symbols are page links in the pdf of this manual. WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Read and understand the General Risks given at the front of this manual when performing measurements and investigating failures.
  • Page 6 WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD Perform the QuickStart steps ("3 QuickStart Guide" on page 12) as written and in the correct sequence. WARNING! EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD It may be necessary for installations to have over-riding external independent systems for de-energising the supply side or dc contactor. In this case, we recommend that the CSTOP terminal is opened 100 ms prior to de-energising the supply side or dc side contactor.
  • Page 7 WARNING! EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD Field reversal or disconnection. After the PL/X inhibits the field output, it can take several seconds for the field current to decay to zero due to the high inductance of motor fields. Do not open-circuit the field unless the field current has reached zero. You cannot use the field current monitors or field active flag to confirm that zero current is flowing because the PL/X cannot measure the decaying current after an inhibit.

  • Page 27 1 Introduction Introduction Sprint Electric PL/X Digital DC Drives are for use in industrial (non-domestic) applications to control the speed of dc motors. The PL/X series comprises five frame sizes. Each frame Frame 1 - PL/X5-50 size offers several different current ratings in two quadrant and four quadrant configurations.
  • Page 28 1.1 Product overview 1.1.1 Features and benefits Applications advice and training is available from Sprint Electric. • General: • The PL/X unit is an open-chassis component for use in a suitable enclosure. • Calibration requires no setting of switches or soldering of resistors.

    1.3 Useful page references We recommend that you complete the QuickStart, which Page 12 includes an Autotune procedure. To properly configure your drive for the specific motor, you will need to enter relevant parameter settings into the Calibration menu. The PL/X has a built-in default configuration suitable for most Page 50 applications that you can modify if required.
  • Page 31 1.4 Testing using a small motor Select from two different motor parameter sets for the PL/X: MOTOR 1 (default) and MOTOR 2. Refer to "11.1.15 20)MOTOR 1,2 SELECT" on page 126. MOTOR 2 contains a set of parameters with values to suit very small motors for use during a system test: •...

    2 Commissioning Commissioning The suggested Commissioning strategy starts in the safest possible mode of operation and progressively exercises each element of the system to achieve full functionality. IMPORTANT: Incorrect control of the main contactor is the most common failure encountered, and we highly recommend that you read this chapter very carefully. The following table outlines the sequential steps for commissioning the drive.

  • Page 35: Configuration / Universal Inputs / Uip2 To

    2.1 Understanding main contactor operation The purpose of the main contactor is to provide electro-mechanical isolation of the motor armature from the power supply. The essential elements of controlling the contactor are as follows: It must be possible to release the contactor without relying on electronics. The contactor must not break current.
  • Page 36 2.1.1 Main contactor control Q & A Question Why is it so important to prevent the contactor from 1) Breaking current 2) Making current? 1) Breaking current Answer The motor armature is an inductive load, helping to smooth the current by storing electrical energy during a charging period and releasing it during a discharging period.
  • Page 37 Question Even if the contactor operates according to recommendations, how is protection provided if the contactor coil supply is lost? Answer It is a complicated problem to solve using electronics. The only reliable insurance is to insert a DC semiconductor fuse in the armature circuit. This fuse should open before the thyristor junction fails.
  • Page 38 3 QuickStart Guide QuickStart Guide 3.1 Introduction Follow the steps outlined in this guide to install and initiate the PL/X as a basic speed controller, employing ARMATURE VOLTAGE feedback mode for optimal safety. The PL/X drive displays user-friendly menus and parameter names. Use the key sequences we provide at each step to navigate and edit parameter values with no knowledge of the menu system required.
  • Page 39 Entering key sequences Use the PL/X keypad to enter the key sequences in the order given. This will navigate the menus in the fewest key presses. LEFT RIGHT Several sequences reset at the Diagnostic Summary screens, located at the top of the menu system. This reset is used as a helpful reference point in case you lose your way.

    3.3 Installation 3.3.1 Connect the drive WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD Before beginning to connect the drive, ensure that all power is OFF. Make sure that you route power and control wiring in separate conduit/cable trays. Wiring must meet all applicable national and local electrical regulations. Make sure that the voltages on the EL1/EL2/EL3 terminals are in-phase with the voltages on L1/L2/L3.

    The field voltage required in the above example is 100 V, probably for operation from a rectified 110 V supply. However, with the PL/X ability to control the field current, it is preferable to feed the field supply with a higher voltage, e.g. 130 V. This provides the control loop with a supply margin, enabling more effective control.
