Preface ATTENTION: The “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator function is extremely useful for preventing nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive decelerations, overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. It forces the output frequency to be greater than commanded frequency while the drive's bus voltage is increasing towards levels that would otherwise cause a fault. However, it can also cause either of the following two conditions to occur.

HIM Overview Most parameter values are entered directly by the user. However, certain parameters can be “linked,” so the value of one parameter becomes the value of another. For Example: the value of an analog input can be linked to [Accel Time 2]. Rather than entering an acceleration time directly (via HIM), the link allows the value to change by varying the analog signal. This can provide additional flexibility for advanced applications.

Appendix C Application Notes Enabling Adjustable Voltage Adjustable Voltage is enabled in [Motor Cntl Sel], parameter 053 by selecting “5, Adj Voltage.” In this mode, current limit will now reduce voltage instead of frequency when the threshold is reached. Aggressive ramp rates on the voltage command should be avoided to minimize nuisance overcurrent trips. Fixed Frequency Control Applications Many of the applications require a fixed frequency operation with variable voltage levels.
PAGE 111
Application Notes External Brake Resistor Appendix C ATTENTION: The drive does not offer protection for externally mounted brake resistors. A risk of fire exists if external braking resistors are not protected. External resistor packages must be self-protected from over temperature or a circuit equivalent to the one shown below must be supplied.
PAGE 112
Appendix C Application Notes TorqProve functionality with an encoder includes: • Torque Proving (includes flux up and last torque measurement) • Brake Proving • Brake Slip (feature slowly lowers load if brake slips/fails) • Float Capability (ability to hold full torque at zero speed) • Micro-Positioning • Fast Stop • Speed Deviation Fault, Output Phase Loss Fault, Encoder Loss Fault.
PAGE 113
Application Notes Appendix C TorqProve Manual Start Up It is possible to use the Assisted Start Up to tune the motor. However, it is recommended that the motor be disconnected from the hoist/crane equipment during the routine. If this is not possible, refer to steps 1 through 12 on the following pages. ATTENTION: To guard against personal injury and/or equipment damage caused by unexpected brake release, verify the Digital Out 1 brake connections and/or programming.
PAGE 114
Appendix C Application Notes 4. Press Start and run the drive in the desired direction. Observe the direction of motor rotation. If rotation is not in the desired direction: • remove drive power and reverse the two motor leads, or . . . • set bit 5 of [Compensation], parameter 56 to “Mtr Lead Rev.” 5. With the drive running, observe [Encoder Speed], parameter 415. If the sign of the encoder is not the same as the displayed frequency, remove drive power and reverse encoder leads A and A NOT. 6.
PAGE 115
Application Notes Appendix C Drive Setup TorqProve with Encoder To Enable TorqProve with an encoder, bit 0 of [TorqProve Cnfg], parameter 600 must be set to “1.” Once this is set, a Type 2 alarm will be active until the following settings are entered: No.
PAGE 116
Appendix C 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. Programming [Digital Out1 Sel], parameter 380 will be ignored when [TorqProve Cnfg] is set to “Enable.
PAGE 117
Application Notes Appendix C 2. The drive will then provide the motor with flux as well as perform a check for current flow through all three motor phases. This ensures that torque will be delivered to the load when the mechanical brake is released. When torque proving is enabled, open phase loss detection is performed regardless of the setting of Bit 12 of [Fault Config 1], parameter 238. 3.
PAGE 118
Appendix C Application Notes When encoderless TorqProve is enabled, the drive cannot hold the load at zero speed. Parameter 606 [Float Tolerance] will then define the speed at which the brake is set. Micro Position Micro Position refers to rescaling of the commanded frequency by a percentage entered in [MicroPos Scale %], parameter 611. This allows for slower operation of a lift which provides an operator with better resolution when positioning a load.
PAGE 119
Application Notes Appendix C End Travel Limit for Digital Inputs End Travel Limit is enabled by selecting “End Limit” as one of the digital inputs in [Digital In1-6 Select]. A “low” at this input (opposite logic) will cause the drive to do a fast decel (0.1 sec) and turn off. This Stop limit will be enforced only in the direction the drive was running when the switch was activated (momentarily or continuously, see “C” in Figure 8).
PAGE 120
Appendix C 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 121
Application Notes Appendix C Vector Control can operate in one of two configurations: 1. Encoderless Not to be confused with Sensorless Vector above, Encoderless Vector based on Allen-Bradley’s patented Field Oriented Control technology means that a feedback device is not required. Torque control can be achieved across a significant speed range without feedback. 2. Closed Loop (with Encoder) Vector Control with encoder feedback utilizes Allen-Bradley’s Force Technology™.
PAGE 122
Appendix C Application Notes Motor Overload For single motor applications the drive can be programmed to protect the motor from overload conditions. An electronic thermal overload I2T 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 123
Application Notes Motor Overload Memory Retention Per 2005 NEC Appendix C Firmware version 4.002 or greater – has the ability to retain the motor overload count at power down per the 2005 NEC motor overtemp requirement. To Enable/Disable this feature, refer to the table below. Once Enabled, the value for [Testpoint 1 Sel] can be changed. Overload Retention [Testpoint 1 Sel], param 234 [Testpoint 1 Data], param 235 Enable “629” “1” Disable “499” (1) “0” (1) (1) Default setting.
PAGE 124
Appendix C Application Notes Position Indexer/Speed Profiler The PowerFlex 700 includes a position indexer/speed profiler which provides either point-to-point positioning with a position regulator or speed profiling using a velocity regulator. Point-to point positioning can be either incremental moves or absolute moves which are referenced to home. Encoder feedback (incremental encoder) is required for the position regulator.
PAGE 125
Application Notes Appendix C • Limits Many threshold values can affect the performance of the profile/indexer. To help minimize the possibility of overshooting a position, ensure that the following parameters are set for the best performance. No. Parameter Description 153 [Regen Power Limit] Default is –50% and will likely require a greater negative value. A brake or other means of dissipating regenerative energy is recommended.
PAGE 126
Appendix C Application Notes The [Pos/Spd Prof Cmd] bits can be set via DPI interface (HIM or Comm) or digital inputs. When digital input(s) are programmed for “Pos Sel 1-5,” the starting step of the profile is exclusively controlled by the digital inputs. The DPI interface value for bits 0-4 will be ignored. If a digital input is configured for the bit 8-11 functions (see above), the DPI interface or the digital input can activate the command.
PAGE 127
Application Notes Appendix C Encoder Incremental Blend (EncIncrBlend) When started, the drive will ramp to the desired velocity and hold speed until the units of travel programmed is reached (within tolerance window). The profile will then transition to the next step and the drive will ramp to the speed of the new step without first going to zero speed. Encoder Incremental Blend with Hold This profile is the same as the previous, but contains the “Hold” function.
PAGE 128
Appendix C Application Notes Encoder Incremental (Encoder Incr) This is a move increment from the current position in the direction, distance and speed programmed. When started the drive ramps to the desired velocity, holds the speed, then ramps to zero speed landing or ending at the commanded position within the tolerance window. End Hold Position The drive holds the last position and stops the profile after dwell time expires. Must be used with position regulated profile. Do Not use “End.
PAGE 129
Application Notes Appendix C • Homing to Limit Switch with Encoder Feedback When “Find Home” is commanded, the homing routine is run when a start command is issued. The Homing bit (11) in [Profile Status] will be set while the homing routine is running. The drive will ramp to the speed and direction set in [Find Home Speed] at the rate set in [Find Home Ramp] until the digital input defined as Home Limit is activated.
PAGE 130
Appendix C Application Notes • Position Redefine When “Pos Redefine” is set, the present position is established as Home and [Units Traveled] is set to zero. • Disable Homing Requirement If a home position is not required, the routine can be disabled by clearing [Alarm Config 1], bit 17 (Prof SetHome) to “0.” This will disable the alarm from being set when Pos/Spd Profile mode is configured in [Speed/ Torque Mod] and will set the present position as Home.
PAGE 131
Application Notes Appendix C Example 2: Six Step Velocity Profile (Digital Input-Based) In each step, the drive ramps at [Step x AccelTime] to [Step x Velocity] in the direction of the sign of [Step x Velocity] until a digital input is detected. When the input is detected it transitions to the next step in the profile. This continues through Digital Input #6 activating step 5. Step 5 is defined as a “Parameter Level” step. Digital Inputs used in the profile must be defined as “Prof Input.

Appendix C Application Notes Example 3: Five Step Positioner with Incremental Encoder The first three steps of this indexer are “Encoder Incr” steps followed by an “Encoder Abs” step to zero and then an “End Hold Position” step. For each “Encoder Incr” step the drive ramps at [Step x AccelTime] to [Step x Velocity] in the direction of the sign of [Step xValue].

Application Notes Power Loss Ride Through Appendix C When AC input power is lost, energy is being supplied to the motor from the DC bus capacitors. The energy from the capacitors is not being replaced (via the AC line), thus, the DC bus voltage will fall rapidly. The drive must detect this fall and react according to the way it is programmed.
PAGE 134
Appendix C Application Notes Process PID The internal PI function of the PowerFlex 700 provides closed loop process control with proportional and integral control action. The function is designed for use in applications that require simple control of a process without external control devices. The PI function allows the microprocessor of the drive to follow a single process control loop. The PI function reads a process variable input to the drive and compares it to a desired setpoint stored in the drive.
PAGE 135
Application Notes Appendix C If no digital input is configured to “PI Enable,” then only the Bit 0 = 1 condition must be met. If the bit is permanently set to a “1”, then the loop will become enabled as soon as the drive goes into “run.” PI Enabled PI Pre-load Value PI Output Spd Cmd PI Pre-load Value = 0 PI Pre-load Value > 0 PI Enabled Normalized SQRT(Feedback) 100.0 Start at Spd Cmd PI Output 75.0 50.0 25.0 0.0 -25.0 -50.0 -75.0 -100.0 -100.0 -75.0 -50.0 -25.0 0.0 25.0 50.0 75.0 100.

Application Notes Skip Frequency Appendix C Figure 21 - Skip Frequency Frequency Command Frequency Drive Output Frequency (A) (A) Skip + 1/2 Band 35 Hz Skip Frequency 30 Hz Skip – 1/2 Band (B) 25 Hz (B) Time Some machinery can have a resonant operating frequency that must be avoided to minimize the risk of equipment damage. To assure that the motor cannot continuously operate at one or more of the points, skip frequencies are used.
PAGE 138
Appendix C Application Notes Skip Frequency Examples The skip frequency will have hysteresis so the output does not toggle between high and low values. Three distinct bands can be programmed. If none of the skip bands touch or overlap, each band has its own high/low limit. Max. Frequency Skip Frequency 1 Skip Band 1 Skip Frequency 2 Skip Band 2 0 Hz If skip bands overlap or touch, the center frequency is recalculated based on the highest and lowest band values. 400 Hz.

Appendix C Application Notes Start At PowerUp A powerup delay time of up to 30 seconds can be programmed through [Powerup Delay], parameter 167. After the time expires, the drive will start if all of the start permissive conditions are met. Before that time, restart is not possible. Start At PowerUp [Powerup Delay] Time Expired? No Yes All Start Permissives Met? 1. No fault conditions present. 2. No Type 2 alarm conditions present. 3. The terminal block programmed enable input is closed. 4.

Application Notes Appendix C Table 16 - Braking Method Examples Method Use When Application Requires… Braking Power Ramp • The fastest stopping time or fastest ramp time for speed changes (external brake resistor or regenerative capability required for ramp times faster than the methods below). • High duty cycles, frequent stops or speed changes. (The other methods can result in excessive motor heating). Most, if an external resistor or regenerative device is connected.

Appendix C Application Notes Detailed Operation Mode Coast to Stop Description Bus Voltage Output Voltage Output Current Motor Speed Command Speed Time Stop Command Coast Time is load dependent Coast is selected by setting [Stop Mode A/B] to a value of “0.” When in Coast to Stop, the drive acknowledges the Stop command by shutting off the drive output and releasing control of the motor. The load and motor will coast until the kinetic energy is dissipated.
PAGE 143
Application Notes Mode Appendix C Description Ramp Bus Voltage Output Voltage Output Current Motor Speed Output Current Command Speed Output Voltage DC Brake Level Time Stop Command Zero Command Speed DC Brake Time This method uses drive output reduction to stop the load. Ramp is selected by setting [Stop Mode A/ B] to a value of “1.” The drive will ramp the frequency to zero based on the deceleration time programmed into [Decel Time 1/2].
PAGE 144
Appendix C Application Notes Mode Description Fast Brake Bus Voltage Output Voltage Output Current Motor Speed Command Speed Time Stop Command This method takes advantage of the characteristic of the induction motor whereby frequencies greater than zero (DC braking) can be applied to a spinning motor that will provide more braking torque without causing the drive to regenerate. 1. On Stop, the drive output will decrease based on the motor speed, keeping the motor out of the regen region.
PAGE 145
Application Notes Parameter 452 [Stop Dwell Time] sets an adjustable delay time between detecting zero speed and disabling the speed and torque regulators, when responding to a stop command. IMPORTANT Consult industry and local codes when setting the value of this parameter. Figure 23 - Drive Operation When Par. 452 [Stop Dwell Time] Equals Zero Speed When Par. 452 [Stop Dwell Time] equals zero, the drive turns off the velocity and torque regulators when it detects zero speed.
