Default settings

Use parameter 0.50 to initiate the transfer of parameter values between the RAM, EEPROM (when an option module is fitted), and the flashmemory in the drive (see Appendix H Storage and Transfer of Parameter Values in the M’Ax User Guide). After changing the setting ofparameter 0.50, perform either of the following, as appropriate:• While the display is in Edit mode, press at the same time:

• Set 10.38 at 100 via serial communications.

Terminology

NotesAt the time of selecting no, boot1 or boot2, all parameter values (including the S-parameters) are copied to the flash memory (store).All parameters can be stored at any time by setting 11.67 Flash update enable at 1. The drive must not be powered-down within 15 seconds.When S-parameters are not copied, the related values at the destination remain unchanged.Main parameters can be saved irrespective of the setting of parameter 0.50 (i.e. by setting parameter XX.00 at 1000 and executing theoperation).

Indication of the reference being used by the drive is given for systems set-up and fault finding. The value indicated by this parameter is thesum of input reference and reference offset [1.04].

When the drive is operating from a pulse reference input and the speed is below 100rpm, use the speed feedback parameter [3.02]for control purposes as parameter 1.01 will display some instability due to the sampling rate at lower speeds.

Indication of the final reference being used by the drive is given for systems set-up and fault finding. The value indicated by this parameter isafter passing through sequencer control.(Refer to Menu 6)The range of this parameter is restricted by the value set in parameter 1.06 Maximum reference clamp.

This reference is added to the selected reference. It can be used as a trim to finely adjust the main reference being selected.Adjustment resolution = 1rpm

Speed reference used for jogging.The speed is restricted by the value set in parameter 1.06 Maximum reference clamp.

Adjustment resolution = 1rpm

Defines drive absolute maximum speed reference.The range of this parameter is restricted by the mechanical speed limit of the motor (Set by motor manufacturer).

These indicators are controlled by the drive sequencer defined in Menu 6. They indicate the appropriate reference as commanded by thedrive logic.

This indicator is controlled by the drive sequencer defined in Menu 6. This indicates the appropriate reference as commanded by the drivelogic.

�0: Reference selection by terminal inputThe reference selected depends on the state of bit parameter [1.42] to [1.44]. These bits are for control by digital inputs such that referencecan be selected by external control. If any of the bits are set, the appropriate reference is selected (indicated by parameter [1.49]). If morethan one bit is set the highest numbered will have priority.

X = 0 or 1 (don't care condition)

1 or 2: Analog ReferenceThe speed reference is selected from the standard (SL) or high precision (AN) analog voltage input.

3: Preset reference selectedThe reference is one of the four preset speeds, refer to parameters [1.15] and [1.21] to [1.24] for further details.

4: Keypad reference selectedThe drive is controlled via keypad (Parameter [1.17] or [0.34])

5: Pulse reference selectedF&D/quadrature reference selected.

Parameter [1.15] selects a preset speed reference as follows:0 = Preset select by terminal input1 = Preset 1 selected [1.21]2 = Preset 2 selected [1.22]3 = Preset 3 selected [1.23]4 = Preset 4 selected [1.24]

0: Preset selection by terminal inputThe preset selected depends on the state of bit parameter [1.45] to [1.46]. These bits are for control by digital inputs such that presets can be

selected by external control. The preset selected depends on the binary code generated by these bits as follows:

Version _AN - [0.34] or [1.17] indicates the value of the speed reference set by use of the keypad.Version _SL - [0.34] or [1.17] is not used.

If this parameter is selected as the frequency reference (i.e. [1.49] = 4), it is adjusted by the 'Up' and 'Down' keys only when the display is inthe Status Mode. When the drive is not enabled view the keypad reference by looking at parameter [0.34] or [1.17] to ensure the correct valueis set before enabling the drive.The value is saved on power down such that the keypad frequency reference does not have to be set up again on power up.

This is the speed reference after the ramps.The range of this parameter is restricted by the value set in parameter 1.06 Maximum reference clamp.

Set to enable ramps.0 = Ramp disable1 = Ramp enable

If this bit is set the ramp will be held. If S-ramp is enabled the acceleration will ramp towards zero causing the ramp output to curve towards aconstant speed.

0 = Ramp hold disabled1 = Ramp hold enabled

This parameter does not affect the acceleration ramp, and the ramp output always rises at the programmed acceleration rate subject to thecurrent limits.

0 = Fast rampWhen fast ramps are selected the output of the ramp will fall at the programmed deceleration rate (subject to the current limits programmed inthe drive).1 = Prevention of Braking resistor overload tripDuring deceleration, the braking resistor overload alarm being set will cause a controller to operate, the output of which changes the ramprate. As the controller regulates the DC link voltage, the motor deceleration increases and when the motor deceleration rate reaches theprogrammed deceleration rate the controller ceases to operate and the drive continues to decelerate at the programmed rate. Controllergains can be adjusted using parameters 2.48 & 2.49.

Setting this parameter enables the limit switch ramps.

Setting this parameter enables the S-ramp function. S-ramp is disabled during deceleration using standard ramp. When the motor isaccelerated again after decelerating in standard ramp the acceleration ramp used by the S-ramp function is reset to zero.

This parameter defines the maximum rate of change of acceleration/deceleration. The default values have been chosen such that for thedefault ramps and maximum speed, the curved parts of the S will be 25% of the original ramp if S-ramp is enabled.

Since the ramp rate is defined in second2/1000rpm and the S-ramp parameter is defined in second2/1000rpm, the time T for the 'curved' partof the S can be determined from:

T = S-ramp rate of change / Ramp rate

Enabling S-ramp increases the total ramp time by the period T since an additional T/2 is added to each end of the ramp in producing the S.

The acceleration rate is selected as follows.0 Ramp rate selection by terminal input1 ~ 4 Ramp rate defined by parameter number, i.e. 1 = 2.11, 2 = 2.125 Ramp rate selection by parameter 1.50

When parameter 2.10 is set to 0 the acceleration ramp rate selected depends on the state of bit parameters 2.32 to 2.33. These bits are forcontrol by digital inputs such that ramp rates can be selected by external control. The ramp rate selected depends on the binary codegenerated by these bits as follows:

When parameter 2.10 is set to 5 the appropriate acceleration rate is automatically selected depending on the value of parameter 1.50, and soan acceleration rate can be programmed to operate with each preset reference. Since the new ramp rate is selected with the new reference,the acceleration applies towards the selected preset if the motor needs to accelerate to reach the preset.

The jog acceleration rate is only used when the drive starts from the inhibit or ready states, or has reached the jog reference from anotherstate and the speed is changing because the jog reference is changed. This prevents the fast ramps normally used with jog from being usedwhen changing between running and jogging.

Refer to parameter 2.20.

Refer to parameters 6.35 and 6.36 respectively.

The jog deceleration rate is only used when the drive is changing speed because the jog reference has changed or to stop from the jogreference. It is not used to go from the jog to the run state.

These bits are provided for control by logic input terminals for external ramp selection (see parameter 2.10 and 2.20).

Used as a ramp rate controller for controlled stop.During mains loss, if the DC bus voltage collapses beyond the level set in parameter 6.48 a DC link controller operates, the output of whichchanges the ramp rate. The controller can be disabled by setting the detection level in parameter 6.48 to 0. As the controller regulates the linkvoltage, the motor deceleration increases to keep the DC bus at a maximum level to achieve the fastest possible controlled stop. When themotor is stopped the controller ceases to operate. Controller gains can be adjusted using parameters 2.46 and 2.47. If the mains is re-appliedduring the stop the controller still operates to zero speed, the mains loss bit 6.48 remains set and can only be reset by giving a drive reset.

Used as a ramp rate controller for preventing braking resistor overload trip. See parameter 2.04 for more information.

Final speed demand at the input to the speed regulator formed by the sum of the ramp output and the hard speed reference (if the hard speedreference is enabled). If the drive is disabled this parameter will show 0.0.

This is the speed feedback taken from the SLM encoder. This parameter shows the speed feedback used by the speed controller. Thisincludes quantisation ripple given by the counts per revolution (65535) and the sampling interval of 250µs.The value seen on the drive display is filtered so that it can be read by the user, however, the actual parameter held within the drive is notfiltered. If this parameter is routed to an analog output the ripple will be present. It should be noted that the quantisation of the speed feedbackdoes not affect the resolution or accuracy of the speed controller. Use parameter 3.64 for analog output purposes for fast responses.

If the speed feedback (parameter 3.02) is at or below the level defined by this parameter in either direction the Zero speed flag (parameter10.03) is 1, otherwise the flag is 0.

Defines the lower threshold for at speed detection. Refer to parameter 3.09.

Defines the upper threshold for at speed detection. Refer to parameter 3.09.

Defines the speed above which the drive will trip due to overspeed.When this parameter is set to a zero the limit is set by parameter 1.06 x 1.2.

3.09 = 0 reference window mode. The at speed band is from (reference - lower limit) to (reference + upper limit). The reference is the pre-ramp reference (parameter 1.03). The at speed indicator is active when the following is true:- ([1.03] - 3.06) < [3.02] < ([1.03] + 03.07)

3.09 = 1 absolute window mode. The at speed band is from the lower limit to the upper limit. The at speed indicator is active when thefollowing is true:-3.06 < [3.02] < 3.07.

The following diagram shows a generalised representation of the speed controller. The controller includes proportional (Kp) and integral (Ki)feed-forward terms, and a differential (Kd) feedback term. The drive holds three sets of these gains and either set may be selected for use bythe speed controller with parameter 3.16.

3.16 = 1, gains Kp1, Ki1 and Kd2 are used3.16 = 2, gains Kp2, Ki2 and Kd2 are used3.16 = 3, gains Kp3, Ki3 and Kd3 are used

�Parameter 3.16 may be changed when the drive is enabled or disabled. It is necessary to update the SLM with the required PID set by settingPID buffer update bit i.e. Pr 11.67 to 1. Any of the available 3 buffers can be selected "on the fly".

Proportional gain (Kp)If Kp has a value and Ki is set to zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a speed error to produce a torquereference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a difference between the reference and actual speeds. This effect, calledregulation, depends on the level of the proportional gain, the higher the gain the smaller the speed error for a given load. If the proportionalgain is too high then the closed-loop stability limit is reached.

Integral gain (Ki)The integral gain is provided to prevent speed regulation. The error is accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessarytorque demand without any speed error. Increasing the integral gain reduces the time taken for the speed to reach the correct level andincreases the stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor.Unfortunately increasing the integral gain also reduces the system damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain thedamping can be improved by increasing the proportional gain. A compromise must be reached where the system response, stiffness anddamping are all adequate for the application. The integral term is implemented in the form of Σ(Ki x error), and so the integral gain can bechanged when the controller is active without causing large torque demand transients.

Differential gain (Kd)The differential gain is provided in the feedback of the speed controller to give additional damping. The differential term is implemented in away that does not introduce excessive noise normally associated with this type of function. Increasing the differential term reduces theovershoot produced by under-damping, however, for most applications the proportional and integral gains alone are sufficient.To analyse the performance of the speed controller it may be represented as an s-domain model as shown below.

Where:Kc is the conversion between torque reference and torque producing current. A value of unity at the input to this block gives a torqueproducing current equivalent to the full scale current of the drive. The drive automatically compensates the torque producing current for fluxvariations in field weakening, and so Kc can be assumed to have a constant value. Drive rated current is equivalent to 0.5 x full scale (seeMenu 4 for details of current scaling), and so

Kc = Drive rated current / 0.5Kt is the torque constant of the motor (i.e. torque in Nm per amp of torque producing current).L(s) is the transfer function of the load.The s-domain system above may be used to determine the performance of systems with a relatively low bandwidth. However, the real drivesystem also includes non-ideal delays due to the torque controller response, and speed measurement and control delays. These delays,which can be approximated with a simple unity gain transport delay (Tdelay) as shown below, should be taken into account for more accurate

results.

�current (parameter 11.32) with no field weakening.

The load inertia should be calculated and entered into 3.20 so that the total inertia can be calculated. Before entering the load inertia valueinto parameter 3.20, check the range status in parameters 5.34 and 5.54.

5.34 = 0 = kgm2

= 1 = kgcm2

5.54 = 0 = Ranges are shown for 3.18 and 3.20= 1 = Ranges are divided by 10

Example:

Load inertia = 42kgcm2

When 5.34 = 1 and 5.54 = 0, 3.20 = 42.0When 5.34 = 1 and 5.54 = 1, 3.20 = 4.20

The hard speed reference is a reference value which does not pass through the ramp system (Menu 2). It is added to the normal post rampspeed reference. The maximum of this input is limited to 500 rpm.

This parameter display’s the flux alignment value of the motor.

When the encoder rotates by more than one revolution, the revolutions in parameter 3.28 increment or decrement in the form of a sixteen bitroll-over counter. Resets to zero on power down.

This parameter gives the encoder position counted from the point when the drive was powered up. On power up, SLM uses single cycle Sin-Cos output to find absolute shaft position.

The encoder has a marker channel and this is used to correct the absolute position with in a revolution after power-Up. After passing throughthe marker this bit is set and zero offset parameter [3.54] is updated with the difference between 0 of encoder position [3.29] and marker. Thisis due to error on initial angle calculation using single cycle sin-cos.

CT-coder has a marker channel and this is used to correct the absolute position within a revolution after power-up. After passing through themarker, if this bit is set to 1 then zero offset parameter 3.54 is updated using 12 Bit accuracy without interpolation, otherwise updated using 16Bit accuracy with interpolation.

This parameter is the r.m.s. current from each output phase of the drive.

The torque demand is derived from the torque reference and offset. The units of the torque demand are % of allowed maximum torque to themotor (Based on Symmetrical current limit).

100% rated torque = 100% rated current of the motor.

The Current demand is read from SLM. The units of the current demand are % of rated drive current.620 = 200% rated drive current

Symmetrical current limit is used to scale the maximum motor current. This is used to scale the current scaling from SLM. After changing thisparameter SLM-PID update is necessary to use new settings. Refer to P.I.D gain calculation section in Menu 3.

This is the parameter for main torque reference. The units are % of maximum motor rated torque based on symmetrical current limit with aresolution of 0.1%. If connected to an analog input on the drive this parameter is updated every 250µs.

This parameter is for an offset to be added to the main torque reference. The torque offset is updated every 1ms when connected to ananalog input, and so parameter 4.08 should be used for fast updating if required.

The torque offset is added to the torque reference when parameter 4.10 is set to one.0 = Torque reference offset disable1 = Torque reference offset enable

0 = Speed control modeThe torque demand is equal to the speed loop output.

1 or 2 = Torque controlThe torque demand is given by the sum of the torque reference and the torque offset, if enabled. The speed is not limited in any way,however, the drive will trip at the over speed threshold if runaway occurs. To activate a parameter change, a save and power down isnecessary.

A first order filter, with specified bandwidth by this parameter is provided on the current demand to reduce acoustic noise and vibrationproduced in an application. The filter introduces a lag in the speed loop, and so the speed loop gains may need to be reduced to maintainstability as the filter time constant is increased. Alternative bandwidth can be selected depending on the value of the speed controller gainselector [3.16].

The motor is modelled thermally in a way that is equivalent to the electrical circuit shown below.

The temperature of the motor as a percentage of maximum temperature, with a constant current magnitude of I, after time t is given by

Temp = [I2 / (Motor rated current x Motor overload threshold)2] (1 - e-t/τ) x 100%

This assumes that the maximum allowed motor temperature is produced with 110% rated current and that τ is the thermal time constant of thepoint in the motor that reaches it maximum allowed temperature first. τ is defined by SLM (indicated by parameter [4.15]) and Motor overloadthreshold is defined in parameter [4.52]. When the estimated temperature reaches Motor overload threshold the drive limits the current tocurrent scaling set by the parameter [4.53]. The time for a trip or reduction of current limit from cold with constant motor current is given by:

Ttrip = -(Par 4.15) x ln(1 - ((4.52/100) x Par 5.07 / Par 4.01)2)

The thermal model accumulator is set to zero at power-up and accumulates the temperature of the motor whilst the drive remains powered-up.

The Motor overload warning bit 10.17 is set if integrator value is greater than Motor overload warning threshold 4.52. Also the output current

scaling is switched to parameter 4.53 (Current scaling during I2t limit).

When the I2t threshold goes above the limit set in parameter 4.52, the SLM alters its current scaling to limit the motor current in a defaultstate.If a controller wants to use this as a warning bit, the threshold [4.52] can be adjusted to a required level (i.e. 75% instead of 110%). Changing

the I2t threshold in [4.52] will not limit the current scaling after the motor thermal overload alarm is set. In this case the controller should takethe necessary action to protect the motor, i.e. reduce acceleration or stop.The drive will operate, when the motor thermal overload alarm is set, until the thermal overload time to trip parameter value [4.54] has beenexceeded.Typical Example:

1. Set 4.53 Symmetrical current limit after motor thermal-overload alarm at 200 (the largest of the symmetrical current limit values).2. Set 4.54 Thermal-overload time to trip at 12 (process cycle time, rounded-up to nearest integer).3. Calculate the following:

This is a secondary motor overload protection. The user can set Current scaling during I2t limit (4.53) to standard current scaling (4.07) andthe motion controller reduces torque demand in order to protect the motor. This secondary protection trips the drive on motor overload(I2t.AC) if Motor overload warning bit (10.17) is continuously set more than Motor overload time limit.

The value set in this parameter is the trip threshold level for the SLM thermistor. Once this level has been exceeded, the drive will trip ‘Oht3’.

This bit parameter is set if the motor overload accumulator [10.58] rises above the motor overload alarm level set in parameter 4.56,otherwise cleared.

These parameters are to compensate for the current loop and power stage offsets, which end up as speed ripple on the demanded speed.These parameters are relayed to the SLM on power-up and are only required for high performance applications.Please contact Technical Support for further assistance in using these parameters.

Voltage across the internal DC Bus Voltage.

This value is read from the SLM. The value is used is for current limit (refer to symmetrical current limit, parameter 4.07) and motor thermalprotection (refer to thermal time constant, parameter 4.15).

This value is set by the motor manufacturer and stored in the SLM. On power up the value set in the motor object is read by the drive andstored in parameter 5.08.

The rated voltage is calculated from the Ke and rated rpm of the motor.

This parameter is read from the SLM and is set to the number of poles of the motor being used.

The drive can automatically measure the phase angle between the rotor flux and the encoder position by performing a phasing test.Parameter 5.12 will return to zero on completing the flux alignment test. The value of the encoder phase position is stored in SLM andindicated by parameter [3.25].Flux AlignmentUse this procedure only in exceptional circumstances; do not use it when setting up the drive.1.

Only one stopping phase exists and the ready state is entered as soon as the single stopping action is complete.

0 = DisabledThere is no mains loss detection and the drive operates normally as long as the DC Link voltage within specificationi.e greater than DC Bus undervolt trip level.

1= Controlled StopThe drive detects mains loss by comparing the DC bus voltage with the controlled stop enable DC bus level parameter [6.48]. If the DC buslevel is less than the value stored in parameter [6.48] then a controlled stop is requested, which triggers a controller to operate. This controllerwill regulate the ramp rate to keep the DC bus level above the programmed level as close as possible to the required ramp rate. Controllergains can be adjusted using parameters [2.46] & [2.47].The drive will continue a controlled stop even if mains voltage is restored, a drive reset is necessary to resume normal application. During acontrolled stop the drive will display “CSP”.

When this bit is set the drive will hold torque at standstill when not in the running state rather than disabling the output bridge. The drive statuswill be StP when the drive is at standstill rather than rdY.

0 = rdY1 = StP

Setting this parameter to 0 will disable the drive. It must be at 1 for the drive to run.0 = Drive disable1 = Drive enable

Hardware enable contact must also be closed to run the drive. Refer to parameter 8.09 for hardware enable indicator.

Together with the next parameter the drive records the amount of time the drive has been running since it left the manufacturing plant.

Together with the previous parameter the drive records the amount of time the drive has been running since it left the manufacturing plant.

The drive sequencer uses these bits as inputs rather than looking at terminals directly. This allows the customer to define the use of eachdrive terminal according to each application needs.

Digital inputs connected to limit switches should be routed to these parameters if fast stopping is required at a limit. The drive will respond in500µs (500µs digital input filter delay) and stop the motor with zero ramp rate (i.e. in current limit) if limit switch ramp is disabled (i.e.parameter 2.05 Limit switch ramp disable is set to zero). If limit switch ramp is enabled the drive will stop the motor using the ramp rate set inForward deceleration ramp parameter 2.25 or Reverse deceleration ramp parameter 2.26.The limit switches are direction dependant so that the motor can rotate in a direction that allows the system to move away from the limitswitch. The drive status will indicate “LSP” meaning Limit switch StoP active, until the system moves away from the limit switch.

The drive can operate from the following supplies as indicated by this parameter.0 - Main power terminals

The drive power circuit, gate drives, control circuits and SLM module are using the main power terminals to derive their supplies. The drivewill operate normally. Parameters that are saved at power-down are saved when the supply is removed in this mode and a UU trip occurs.

1- 30V Control backupAuxiliary back-up supply in operation.

The drive detects mains loss by comparing the DC bus voltage with the controlled stop enable DC bus level parameter 6.48. If the DC buslevel is less than the value stored in parameter 6.48 then a controlled stop is requested. Drive controls the ramp rate to keep the DC bus levelabove the programmed level as close as possible to the required ramp rate. The drive will continue a controlled stop even if mains voltage isrestored.

This parameter indicates that the motor is being subject to controlled deceleration to a stop during failure of the AC supply.0 = Controlled stop not active1 = Controlled stop enabled

Analog-input selection

When parameter 1.14 is set at 0, 1 or 2, parameter 7.10 is automatically set at 1.36 in order to select parameter 1.36 as the destinationparameter for the analog input. The setting of 7.10 cannot then be changed.

Other settings of parameter 1.14 allow parameter 7.10 to be set at any value (including 1.36).

When parameter 7.10 is set at any of the following...

1.36(irrespective of the setting of parameter 1.14)

4.08

3.22

... the parameters listed below are by-passed in order to simplify setting-up and increase speed of response to changes in the input signal:

7.01 Analog input

7.07 Analog input offset trim

7.08 Analog input scaling

7.09 Analog input invert

Parameter 7.54: sample time = 250µs

Pulse ModeThe analog input destination selector parameter 7.10 cannot be used when a Pulse reference is selected (i.e parameter 1.14 to 5).This is due to the internal characteristics of the drive.

Analog-input scaling

Analog-input scaling operates only when 7.10 Analog input destination selector is set at 1.36 or 3.22 and 7.57 Analog input scaling enable isset at 1.

The scaling should be used for final adjustment only. Keep the ratio of 7.55 over 7.56 below 1.1. Failure to do so willpossibly end up in speed reversal

This parameter displays the level of the analog signal in percentage that is present at the terminal.

This parameter displays the temperature currently being measured on the heatsink. If this level reaches 90°C the drive will give an alarmindication hot on the lower line of the display. If the temperature continues to rise the drive will trip O.ht2 to protect it's self from device failuredue to over temperature.

This parameter can be used to trim out any offset in the users reference signal.

This parameter can be used to scale the analog input if so desired.

This parameter can be used to invert the analog input reference if so desired.

The parameter, which the analog input is required to control is programmed here. Only a non-bit parameter which is not protected can becontrolled by the analog input. If a non-valid parameter is programmed then the input is not routed anywhere. After modification of thisparameter the destination is only changed when a reset is performed or the drive powered down.

The parameter which is desired to be read via the analog output should be programmed here. Only a non bit parameter can be programmed.After modifications of this parameter the source is only changed when a reset is performed or the drive powered down.

Setting this bit will cause the drive to adjust it's own scale factor such that the required maximum is reached at the input level at the timecalibration takes place. This parameter is cleared by the software when the calibration is complete.

This parameter affects the low speed performance and the speed of response to a changing speed demand. Low values give good dynamicresponse but noisier operation at low speeds and high values give smooth low speed operation but less dynamic response. A compromisemust be made between low speed operation and good dynamic response.After modification of this parameter the sample time is only changed when a reset or power down and back up again is carried out.

Indicates 1 if an AN (high precision) option module is fitted.

This parameter is the input scale factor (Counts / 250µs) for full analog input. This scale factor is automatically adjusted by the calibrateroutine, parameter 7.25. Default value is 227 which is nominal counts with 10V input.

This is the output of the V/F accumulator. Updated every 250µs.

The above two parameters are used for analog input ratio, when routed for Analog Reference input [Parameter 1.36], to achieve the lastniche of necessary maximum speed. The sampled analog input counts per every 250µS are scaled according to Maximum reference Clamp[Parameter 1.06] and then multiplied by the numerator and divided by the denominator.

This parameter is used to generate user trips, or to reset the drive codes are as shown in the table below

This parameter gives an indication of the average power. Zero indicates the resistor is not being used and 100% is the trip level. 100% equals125W power consumption through the resistor.

This parameter is used by the serial communications interfaceThe bits in this parameter correspond to the status bits in menu 10 as follows.

When a trip occurs, the reason for the trip is put into the top location in the trip log (parameter 10.20). At the same time the time from thepowered-up clock is put into Trip 0 time (parameters 10.41 and 10.42). The times for earlier trips (Trip 1 to 5) are moved to the next parameterin the same way that trips move down the trip log. The time for Trips 1 to 5 are stored as the time difference between when Trip 0 occurredand the relevant trip in hours and minutes. The maximum time difference that can be stored is 600 hours. If this time is exceeded the valuestored is 320.00.

The value of parameter 10.52 indicates which of the following has caused this trip.

This disables UU trip state and enables charge up relay for low voltage use. It is necessary to use a digital input to set this bit. This input isused to provide interlock before return to full volts from low voltage supply. The drive healthy bit is dropped after a delay of 20ms to allowcharging up relay to drop. This interlock mechanism protects the drive from applying full power to DC bus caps without a charging resistor.

Parameter [0.46] can be assigned to any advanced parameter and given a scaling factor. Typical uses are as follows:1. Indicates the rate of flow in a way that is meaningful to the production process (e.g cans per hour)2. Indicates the torque calculated from the motor current.The default function is as follows:

0.1 x [0.05] speed feedback

Assigning [0.46] to another parameter.1. Enter the number of the required parameter in [11.20].2. Save parameters.

Changing the scaling for [0.46.]1. Note the number of decimal places used by the values of the parameter assigned to parameter [0.46]. Obtain the value of the modifier

from the following table.

2. Use [11.21] to define the required scaling factor, as follows:[11.21] = [0.46] / [XX.XX] x M

Where:[XX.XX] is the value of the parameter that is assigned to parameter 0.46 by parameter [11.20].

3. Save parameters.

ExamplesDefault settings.Parameter assigned to parameter [0.46] = [3.02]Number of decimal places used in the value of parameter [3.02] = 1Therefore M = 1Default setting of parameter [11.21] = 0.1

The value of parameter [0.46] is given by:-[0.46] = [3.02] x [11.21] x M

For example, when [3.02] = 1500rpm, [0.46] is as follows:-[0.46] = 1500 x 0.1 x 1 = 150

Approximate indication of torque.1. Set parameter [11.20] at [4.01] or [0.07] (motor current magnitude).2. Two decimal places are used in the value, therefore M = 103. Set parameter [11.21] at 0.16 (1.6 / 10 = 0.16) to represent the KT of the motor. (Here KT is divided by 10 due to M = 10.)

4. Parameter [0.46] will indicate as follows:-[0.46] = [4.01] x 0.16 x 10

When [4.01] is 2.75A:-[0.46] = 2.75 x 0.16 x 10 = 4.4

This parameter defines which parameter is displayed on power up. Defaulted to parameter 0.05 Speed feedback.

Used in ANSI to define the unique address for the drive by the serial interface. Any number which has a zero in it should not be used tocommunicate with a single drive as these are used in addressing groups of drives.Used in MODBUS RTU to define the unique address for the drive for the serial interface. Any number in the permitted range 0.1 to 24.7 canbe used as the drive address, 0.0 is a special address that broadcasts to all drives.

This defines the minimum time before the drive will enable its transmit buffers and transmit data in response to a message from the controller.This allows the host software to have time to disable its own transmit buffers after transmitting data to the drive.

Indicates the version of the drive software fitted. The last digit indicates the version of the mask software within the drive processor.

If any number other than 149 (factory default) is programmed into this parameter user security is applied. The parameter value can only beseen while it is being edited, otherwise the value displayed is 149 so that the actual security code cannot be seen. Setting this security codeprotects all parameters from being adjusted, except this one, until the correct code has been entered in parameter xx.00. Setting a securitycode of zero does not set security, but disables the function that requires 149 to be entered into parameter [xx.00] to exit Menu 0 after power-up.

This parameter indicates the maximum continuous current rating of the drive in amps.

This parameter indicates the voltage rating of the drive.

The speed in rpm is indicated by this parameter, for the selected Pulse Reference input.

When the drive is operating from a pulse reference input and the speed is below 100rpm, this parameter should be used for displaypurposes only. Use the speed feedback parameter [3.02] for control purposes if necessary.

The required displacement / movement in position should be entered into Revolutions Error (parameter 13.02) and Position Error (parameter13.03) using serial communications while parameter 13.10 = 2. The value of parameter 13.02 must be entered first, followed by parameter13.03. The new value is entered into the buffer when the value of 13.03 has been entered. The drive runs at maximum speed [1.06], while itis moving into position (see parameter 13.01). The total position displacement / movement is given by:

Position displacement (32 bit) = [13.02] x 65536 = [13.03]Reference position (parameters 13.22 and 13.23) will be updated with the position displacement. I.e. the appropriate number of counts areadded or subtracted to the reference position.When reading the position error value from the drive, Position error (13.03) must be read first. When parameter 13.03 is accessed, the valuein Revolutions error (13.02) is frozen until it has also been accessed.

0 - Pulse reference without position control1 - Pulse reference with position control2 - Digital reference control via serial communications

Setting this parameter enables the orientation function. This function allows the motor to be stopped at a pre-defined position under analog ordigital speed reference control. The orientation position for the shaft is set in Orientation position reference (parameter 13.13) The range ofparameter 13.13 is 0 to 65535, giving a resolution of 0.011°. When the Stop signal is received (i.e. bit parameter 6.34 Run enable is set to 0),the motor decelerates to the orientation speed set in Orientation speed parameter 13.12. The motor continues rotating in the same directionuntil the orientation position is reached within the Orientation acceptance window (parameter 13.14).

This parameter specifies the Pulse Reference input format.0 - Digital Reference signals treated as Frequency and Direction.1 - Digital Reference signals treated as Quadrature A & B signals.2 - Digital Reference signals treated as Directional pulse input signals.

When using the pulse input, analog input cannot be used.

This parameter specifies the number of pulses per revolution for the selected Pulse reference input.

These two parameters display the 32-Bit reference position accumulator, accumulated with the input pulse

Slave Speed / Demand RatioFour parameters allow the user to specify the required ratio for the slave axis. These parameters are grouped in two banks (Bank 0 and Bank1), allowing to switch in between the banks with a bit parameter. Each Bank is comprised of a numerator and denominator. The sampledpulse counts every 250µs are multiplied by the corresponding numerator and divided by the corresponding denominator to obtain therequired ratio of Speed / Position of the slave following the pulse reference input.

The above four parameters are used for slave / ratioing of Speed / Position with respect to the Pulse reference input. The sampled pulsecounts per every 250µs are multiplied by the corresponding numerator and divided by the corresponding denominator to obtain the requiredratio of Speed / Position of the slave following the pulse reference input.

This parameter selects the ratio bank to be used for slave / ratioing.0 - Selects the ratio bank-0 (Ratio numerator 0 & Ratio denominator 0)1 - Selects the ratio bank-1 (Ratio numerator 1 & Ratio denominator 1)

Phase advance / retard of the slave axisThree parameters allow phase advance or retard the slave axis. Pulse Reference Offset [13.29] parameter specifies the absolute offset anglein encoder counts (65536 counts / rev). After setting the offset user enables the bit Move to Offset [13.30] to change the position. The drivethen moves to the new relative position with the programmed Maximum Rate of change [13.31] (Pulses/ 125µs). Drive clears 13.30 afterreaching to the new position.

The absolute offset angle in encoder counts (65535 counts / rev).

When this bit is set to 1, with a non-zero value of Pulse Reference Offset [13.29] the slave will move with the specified Maximum Rate ofchange, by deducting the specified Maximum Rate of change from Pulse Reference Offset [13.29] every 125µs, until Pulse Reference Offset[13.29] becomes zero. This bit is cleared by the sequencer when Pulse Reference Offset [13.29] reaches zero.

The Maximum no of pulses that could be moved every 125µs.
