Auto-Configuration for Encoders The drive/controller recognizes “smart encoders” attached to Parker motors. You can apply power to the drive/controller, and it reads all necessary motor parameters from the motor. The drive/controller and motor are then ready to use.
Parker Hannifin System Installation Overview This section details the components and configuration necessary for electrical installation of all models of the Aries Controller. Installation of a motion control system requires an Aries Controller, a compatible motor (listed on page 4), and access to a computer. See Figure 6 for a diagram of this system.
Parker Hannifin Connectors All Aries Controller models have the same set of connectors. Connector specifications are in this section and also “Appendix A Additional Specifications.” Figure 7 shows the name and location of the connectors. Figure 7 Aries Controller Connectors...
Parker Hannifin Output Power Connector The drive’s Motor screw terminal connector provides output power to the motor. [For connection information, see Output (Motor) Power on page 27.] The drive’s Motor connector provides terminals U, V, W and for connecting output power to the motor. It also serves to connect an external motor brake to the drive’s internal solid-state relay on the two BK terminals.
Parker Hannifin Input Power / Mains Connector The Input Power / Mains connector contains terminals for external regeneration, control power, and motor power. Do not connect power to this connector before reading the section Power Supply on page 29. The Input Power / Mains connector provides terminals L1, L2, and connecting motor mains power.

Figure 15 Output Power Connection Current Parker motor cables are marked with white numbers (1,2, or 3) to indicate the phase. Connect Motor Phase 1 to U, 2 to V, and 3 to W, and Motor Safety Earth to the Protective Earth ground connector.
Parker Hannifin Power Supply Important — Power to the Aries Controller can be supplied in two ways. Completely read this section and comply with all safety measures before proceeding with connecting the unit to power. Input Power The mains Motor Power supply and the optional Control Power supply for the drive/controller must meet the requirements listed in Table 17.
Parker Hannifin Control Power Fuse Information Each Control Power input line must be protected by the following fuse: Fuse Rating..........1 Amp Fuse Type ..........Class CC (Bussmann KTK-R-1 or equivalent UL listed fuse) Input Voltage Range ....... 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz Input Current ...........
Parker Hannifin Power Supply Connections Power to the Aries Controller may be supplied in one of two ways: a single- source to the Motor Input Power (Mains) screw terminals with the factory- installed jumpers in place; or removal of the jumpers and application of separate sources to the Motor Power terminals and to the Control Power terminals.
Parker Hannifin Separate Sources Connections Figure 17 shows how to connect separate external Motor and Control Power sources to the terminal connector installed in the drive. Note: You must remove the factory installed jumper wires to use separate power sources. For more information on the jumpers, see Factory Installed Jumpers on page 19.
Figure 18. Under normal operation, no current should flow through the Protective Earth ground. Safety Earth Connection For multiple drive installations, Parker Hannifin recommends a single point or “star” safety earth configuration. Figure 18 represents a typical star safety earth connection .
Parker Hannifin Brake Relay (Optional) The Brake Relay connection (on the Output Power connector) provides a safety feature for your motion control system, particularly for vertical applications. The drive/controller acts as a control switch for the motor brake (if a brake is present). When 24V is applied from an outside power supply through the drive’s Brake Relay (BK) terminals, the motor brake is disabled.
Brake Relay to Motors with Full Wave Rectifiers Some Parker brake motors (BE, SM, SE, NeoMetric, MPP, and J series motors, serial numbers 010904xxxxx and greater) contain full wave rectifiers, so connection polarity is not an issue during installation.
010904xxxxx, or non-Parker motors, you must install a fly-back diode. Consult the specifications or the manufacturer of your motor. 1. Connect one red/blue brake wire (Parker Motor cable or equivalent) to one BK terminal (located on the Motor connector.
Parker Hannifin Figure 22 illustrates the external regeneration resistor connections. Figure 22 External Regeneration Connection Warning — The drive/controller’s connector strip terminals are at hazardous voltages when power is applied, and up to several minutes after power is removed. Lower voltages may still be present for several minutes after power is removed.

Parker Hannifin Assigning IP Addresses Communication between the Aries Controller and your PC must be set up before connecting over the Ethernet network. Do this by first setting the IP address of the Aries Controller, and then setting the IP address and subnet mask for the PC.
Parker Hannifin Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask—PC Now set the IP address and Subnet mask for your PC. (These instructions are for Windows XP users. If you have another Windows version, the steps may vary. Please consult your Network Administrator.) 1.
Parker Hannifin 5. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the Properties button. You should get a window similar to this: Figure 27 Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties Screen 6. Click on the radio button next to “Use the following IP address:” and type in an IP address with the same first three octets as the default Aries Controller IP address (192.168.100).
Parker Hannifin 7. Set the Subnet mask value to 255.255.255.0. Your window should look similar to the following: Figure 28 Internet Protocol Properties Screen Completed 8. Click OK twice to close the windows and save your changes. 9. It might be necessary to reboot your PC before you can connect to the Aries Controller.
Parker Hannifin Connecting to a PC After assigning the IP address for the Aries Controller, and the Subnet mask and a different IP address for your PC, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the PC. Connect the other end to one of the Aries Controller’s two RJ-45 socket connectors.

Parker Hannifin Servo Tuning Overview The Aries Controller uses a digital control algorithm to control and maintain position and velocity. The digital control algorithm consists of a set of numerical equations used to periodically (once every servo sampling period) calculate the value of the control output.
Parker Hannifin Position Variable Overview In a servo system, the controller uses two types of position information: commanded position and actual position. As these positions change with time, you can use the position values to determine if the system is positioning as you expect.
Parker Hannifin Even when the system is properly tuned, the position error can still be quite significant due to a combination of factors such as the desired profile, the motor's limitation, or the dynamic characteristics of the system. For example,...
Parker Hannifin Position Response Types Table 27 identifies the six basic types of position responses. The primary difference among these responses is due to damping—the suppression (or cancellation) of oscillation. Response Description Profile (position/time) Unstable Instability causes the position to oscillate in an exponentially diverging fashion.
Parker Hannifin Performance Measurements If you plot of the position response versus time, you can make a few measurements to quantitatively assess the performance of the servo. These three measurements are made before or shortly after the motor stops moving: •...
Parker Hannifin Servo System Gains Proportional Feedback Control (PGAIN) Proportional feedback is the most important feedback for stabilizing a servo system. When the controller uses proportional feedback, the control signal is linearly proportional to the position error (the difference between the commanded position and the actual position).
Parker Hannifin Controlling Integral Windup If you are using integral control (IGAIN) and there is an appreciable position error that persists long enough during the transient period (time taken to reach the setpoint), the control signal generated by the integral action can end up too high;...
Parker Hannifin The integral windup limit (ILIMIT) command allows you to set the absolute limit of the integral. The commanded limit, in essence, turns off the integral action as soon as it reaches the limit; consequently, position overshoot and oscillation can be reduced (see Figure 35.)
IGAIN: Adjusts steady-state errors (not discussed in this tutorial). Adding integral gain also increases responsiveness, though the increase might not be noticeable. Tuning Example The tuning example assumes the following: • Parker BE 241 motor. • 9 to 1 load-to-rotor inertia ratio. Illustration Legend Color Position...
Page 70
Parker Hannifin 1. As a starting point, the PGAIN is set to 0.0003; no DGAIN is set at this time. The following figure shows that the motor is under responsive. 2. The PGAIN is increased to 0.0005 to increase the response. As the next figure illustrates, the motor response increased significantly, the motor is under-damped.
Page 71
Parker Hannifin 3. Setting the DGAIN to 0.00001 slightly over-damps the response, as shown in the following figure. Now you can return to adjusting the motor response by increasing the PGAIN. If you were to increase the proportional gain without adjusting the derivative gain, the oscillations would increase and possibly create motor instability.
Page 72
Parker Hannifin 4. With PGAIN increased to 0.001, motor responsiveness has increased and the over-damping has decreased slightly. As there is no significant change to the settling, there is no need to adjust the DGAIN. However, there is still room for improvement on motor response.
Page 73
Parker Hannifin 6. Increasing the DGAIN to 0.00003 damps the oscillation. As the next figure illustrates, both motor response and damping look good. You are ready to add a load to the motor. 7. With a loaded motor, the response has slowed and the damping is weaker.
Page 74
Parker Hannifin 8. The PGAIN is increased to 0.02, and you can see better response from the motor. But there is still some oscillation from the motor, so increase the damping. 9. With DGAIN increased to 0.00015, the chattering is significantly reduced—both motor response and damping look good.
Parker Hannifin Warning — When tuning a servo motor, remove all loads from the motor to prevent personal injury or mechanical destruction. Once tuning provides a stable and responsive servo motor, you can attach the load and start the tuning process again.

Parker Hannifin ACR-View The ACR-View software is a user-friendly interface for verifying status of and commanding the Aries Controller. Use ACR-View to perform additional troubleshooting of your network and drive/controller. Once you have established an Ethernet connection as indicated by the Ethernet Network Status LED, launch ACR-View on the computer system connected to your drive/controller.
Parker Hannifin Motor Control The first step in troubleshooting motor-control issues is to examine the Drive/Controller Status LEDs (Figure 39). Use Table 30 to determine the indicated condition.

Parker Hannifin Error Codes Table 31 below contains a list of error messages and a brief description of corrective action. Error Resolution The motor rating is too high for the drive/controller, and the Motor Configuration drive/controller is using its own limits for safety reasons.
Parker Hannifin Error Resolution Wait for the drive/controller to cool down. E34 Drive Temperature Fault The motor thermal model has determined the motor is too hot. Wait for E35 Motor Thermal Model Fault the motor to cool, and then re-enable the drive/controller. (S21 Transfer Mode Temperature) Motor thermal switch has tripped.
3. Apply power to the drive/controller. a. Send the SFB command. It should report 4. If the response is not <*>4, then check the feedback cable (if using a non-Parker cable, check that it is correctly wired). If the cable is correctly wired and connected, the problem might be the encoder.

Parker Hannifin Procedures Procedure 1—Motor Wires Use this procedure to connect your motor wires to the Aries Controller. 1. With the motor’s feedback cable connected to the drive/controller, randomly connect two motor input power wires and slowly apply a positive voltage with respect to the third. See Figure 40 on page 77.
Parker Hannifin Procedure 2—Hall Wires Use this procedure to connect your Hall wires to the Aries Controller. 1. First operate the Aries Controller in DMODE1 and verify that the motor turns clockwise. If not, swap any two motor wires. 2. Remove the motor input power leads, leaving the feedback cable connected to the drive/controller.

Parker Hannifin Protective Circuits Short Circuit Protection The Aries Controller drive has an internal circuit that protects it from short circuits between one motor terminal to another (phase to phase), or from any motor terminal to earth. Short Circuit Fault—Cause ..... Phase-to-phase short circuit Phase-to-earth short circuit Results of Fault ........
Parker Hannifin Resetting the Fault After the internal temperature has dropped below the values shown in Table 35, you can clear the latched fault. There are two methods available: Cycle power to the drive/controller. –or– Open ACR-View and issue the DRIVE RES AXIS0 command to the Aries Controller.
Parker Hannifin Over-Voltage Protection The Aries Controller over-voltage circuit protects the drive from excessive regeneration. If the voltage on the motor output terminals rises above the threshold voltage, the drive/controller issues an over-voltage fault and turns off power to the motor output terminals (Output Power connector). This allows the motor to freewheel to a stop.
Figure 42 Time Until Current Foldback Occurs Cables EMC Ready Cables Many Parker cables are EMC installation ready. If installed according to instructions provided under A Highly-Immune, Low-Emission Installation— Meeting the Requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive on page 104, these cables are designed to aid the user in gaining European Compliance, and are thus an integral part of a CE system solution.
There are two methods for selecting the appropriate external power-dump resistor: • In this appendix, the section Simplified Resistor Selection provides quick recommendations for Parker drive and motor combinations. • The sections Resistor Specifications—Rotary Motors and Resistor Specifications—Linear Motors step you through the relevant formulas to determine the needs of your particular application.
Table 38 contains recommended power-dump resistors for specific drive/controller and Parker Hannifin motor combinations. The recommendations are based on the calculations presented in the section Calculating Resistance—Rotary Motors. These recommendations assume a...
Parker Hannifin Calculating Resistance—Rotary Motors Because there are different types of motion profiles and application-specific conditions, you may need to modify the results to suit your particular application. To keep it simple, the formulas assume a trapezoidal move profile in which the deceleration event is a single constant deceleration to zero (Ø) velocity.

Where potential energy (Joules) mass of forcer and load (kg) gravitational constant (9.81 m/s vertical height change during deceleration (m) Energy Absorbed by Drive Capacitors The Aries Controller drive capacitors absorb some of the kinetic and potential energy.
Parker Hannifin Energy Dissipated in Motor Winding Resistance Some energy is dissipated in the motor windings. Because the energy is converted to wasted heat in the motor, it is referred to as copper losses. The energy during deceleration can be derived from the inertia, deceleration rate, motor resistance, and motor torque constant.
Parker Hannifin Energy to Dissipate in the External Power-Dump Resistor To stop a motor, kinetic and potential energy must go somewhere. Through the previous calculations, you have determined the total kinetic and potential energy, and the energy lost to various paths.
Parker Hannifin Resistor Specifications—Rotary Motors Having determined the amount of energy to dump (E ), you can then calculate the resistor specifications. • Maximum resistance • Peak dissipation • Average dissipation Maximum Resistance This calculation determines the maximum value of resistance needed for the external power-dump resistor.
Page 105
Parker Hannifin Peak Dissipation During a single deceleration, all the calculated power-dump energy (E ) must dissipate in the external resistor. The external power-dump resistor then slowly dissipates that energy as heat. This peak power must not exceed the capabilities of the resistor, which is typically 10 times the average power rating.
Parker Hannifin Calculating Resistance—Linear Motors Because there are different types of motion profiles and application-specific conditions, you may need to modify the results to suit your particular application. To keep it simple, the formulas assume a trapezoidal move profile in which the deceleration event is a single constant deceleration to zero (Ø) velocity.

While the capacitors absorb energy, the bus voltage increases.
Parker Hannifin Energy Dissipated in Motor Winding Resistance Some energy is dissipated in the motor windings. Because the energy is converted to wasted heat in the motor, it is referred to as copper losses. The energy during deceleration can be derived from the mass, deceleration rate, motor resistance, and motor force constant.

It should be stressed that although these recommendations are based on the expertise acquired during the design and development of the drive/controller, and on tests carried out on similar products, it is impossible for Parker to guarantee compliance of any particular installation. This will be strongly influenced by the physical and electrical details of the installation and the performance of other system components.
Parker Hannifin Installing the Drive/Controller Only qualified, skilled electrical technicians familiar with local safety requirements should install this product. For service, the drive/controller must be returned to an authorized service center. There are no user serviceable parts inside the chassis. In certain circumstances, opening the cover may void the product warranty.
Page 115
Parker Hannifin • Drive/Controller Protective Earth Conductor must be connected directly to a reliable system safety Earth point. Total resistance from the drive/controller’s Protective Conductor Terminal to a Reliable System Safety Earth must not exceed 0.1 Ohm, and must be capable of carrying 25A of Fault Current.
Parker Hannifin All braid termination connections must remain secure. For small diameter cables, it may be necessary to fold back the braid or add additional conductive material, such as conductive, adhesive, copper tape to increase the effective diameter of the cable so that R-clamps are secure.
Use shielded cabling with braided and bonded headshells. Use of Parker CE/EMC-compliant cables is recommended—they are fully shielded and provide the required screening. Parker cabling requires no additional cable preparation. All motor connections must be made using a high quality braided-screen cable.
Some installations may require that you take additional EMC measures. To further increase product immunity and reduce product emissions, you may add clip-on ferrite absorbers to all cables. Parker recommends ferrites with at least 200 ohm impedance at 100 MHz, such as the...
