<s>[INST] How to gain full torque from motor at low speed I have an inverter 1305-3HP which I scaled 0-10V = 0-50HZ for a 4 poles motor. It has been observed that the torque of motor at 1-3HZ is not sufficient to turn the load smoothly. Kindly help me which parameters should I adjust to compensate it and also that how I can program that drive for “Sensorless Vector control”. [/INST] Unfortunately, the 1305 is a Volts-per-Hertz drive, so it cannot be configured as Sensorless Vector. :smileywink: This is the why it isn't easy to get torque and stability to these low frequencies. Only way you may try to play with DC boost (par. 9) to add some DC voltage to the running drive at low frequencies.Take a look to the User Manual, pages 5-18 / 5-19. Hope this helps... - fuzzy logic \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Kinetix 5500 excessive velocity fault Summary: Two drives in same motion group fault simultaneouslyWe have a machine with four 2198-H008-ERS in the same motion group, all with VPL-B0752F-P motors. The power, bus and control are connected with the bus system. In the ladder logic, they all are treated as if they were the only drive, although they operate as pairs. We are experiencing Excessive Velocity Error on an erratic basis(once or twice per shift). The last event was that both drives in one pair faulted at exactly the same time. This may be a clue, just not for me. We have adjusted the Velocity loop parameters in various ways to try to eliminate these faults.

Thank's [/INST] There is an option for a packaged PF755 drive. I suggest you avoid it unless you have both a lot of time and a lot of money available. Look here for more information: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/750-td002_-en-p.pdf Even though these are called FasTrac, they are assuredly not fast. My company builds electrical panels; the local Rockwell representative often asks us to build equivalent packaged drives because Rockwell's lead time is so long. Rockwell does not sell enclosures for drives. I'm guessing you already have the drive in hand and now need to make a complete system. If you need more assistance from us users, I suggest you give us more information. You said PF755 but neglected to say how big it was. The PF755 comes in 7 frame sizes that are wall mount. The more information you give us the more detailed the solution we will be able to suggest. Hoffman, Saginaw, and Rittal all manufacture nice enclosures for drives. Do not forget to do heat calculations to see if you will need ventilation or air conditioning for your system. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Offset during dynamic gearing between virtual axes Hi Everyone , I would like to gear 2 virtual axes during either a run or before axis moves. In order to do that , I used following solutions but still got an offset when it was geared with ratio other than 1:1. 1) Using MRP Absolute to move slave axis to master's position then latch gearing. (1:1 it works but if the ratio is different , there is always big offset) 2) I calculated the actual position difference between master and slave and use this as failure to make relative move with MRP. ( I got 0.08 position difference at the end which might be ok but still not precise enough for me) ** Note : Offset happens when gearing ratio is different than 1:1. Is there any more reliable alternative to do it ? Thanks in advance. Sertac [/INST] Hello srtc the big advantage of virtual axis is that they are perfect (not position or velocity errors). So the issue that you have can not result of a bat tuning or mechanical setting...etc. It is certainly. a MAG setting or axes setting. could you give more details on this please ? to answer your 2 points: it is normal that if you do not have a 1:1 ration you will see a difference on your axes. are you using Ratio or Mastercount/slavecounts ? what ratio format have you selected ? are you using the clutch ? all those parameters will impact the gearing relation between your master and your slave. review the Logix 5000 Controllers Motion Instructions (rockwellautomation.com) manual (p112 to 124) to know more about those parameters.

I have only done this with single motor applications so the sizing is easy, for multi-drive applications the easy way is to get Rockwell drives managers to help out by giving them the motor sizes on the application. These do not require a notch filter on the input. The other option for IEEE-519 is a harmonic filter. TCI has one and MTe has one to meet IEEE-519.

The one which wasn't working had it's EN output set and all other outputs clear. Toggling the rung-in condition made no difference to the instruction or its outputs, it just wouldn't do anything. Other MAM instructions in the same routine operating on the same axis with exactly the same parameters worked fine. In desperation I got them to upload/download and it was then OK. Anyone had anything like this happen? It smells like a ControlLogix bug. Mike [/INST] Digging back in time I see that I've come across this before (different machine - one I was programming unlike the one I was trying to support yesterday). I actually raised it as a case with Rockwell and got this answer: Before you execute a MAM instruction, put an interlocking tag in there indicating the Axis_Servo_Drive.ServoActionStatus Boolean is a 1. Are you sure no other instruction may not be completed before the MAM is executed in the program? The instructions 'hang up' like this sometimes because during the scan when the rung is true, the axis cannot complete the instruction to be true. In otherwords, the .EN will stay true until the process of enabling the instruction is complete and the rung goes false. Thank goodness I keep my emails! Mike \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Kinetix 300 - setting Negative Motion Polarity over Ethernet/IP? Hi , I am starting a project for which I am leaning towards using a 1769-L24ER-QB1B CompactLogix PLC. I will also be using a Kinetix 300 servo drive (2097-V33PR3) for web tension control. The Kinetix 300 will be following a -10 to +10 VDC control signal from a Dover Flexo Automatic Tension Controller. I’ve used the Kinetix 300 in this manner twice before and it worked great. The one thing on this job that I have not done before is that I would like to be able to use ethernet comms from the CompactLogix PLC to set / reverse the direction (counter-clockwise/clockwise) that corresponds to a positive / negative control signal. On my previous two projects, I was able to change this manually by using MotionView OnBoard to check (or uncheck) the checkbox for Negative Motion Polarity (on the MotionView | General tab). Now, rather than having to log on to MotionView, I'd like to be able to control this setting from within my PLC program. I have added the 2097-V33PR3 to my RSLogix 5000 project IO tree, but when I look through all the tags that came along with the Drive Instance, I don't see anything that resembles a Negative Motion Polarity setting. Can anyone tell me if / how I can get at this setting? Also, I have read that the 1769-L24ER-QB1B CompactLogix PLC that I plan on using does not support Integrated Motion over Ethernet/IP, and I am aware that there are CompactLogix PLC's that do support this. If the only thing I want to do with this drive over Ethernet/IP is to change/set the Negative Motion Polarity setting as I've described above, do I need support for Integrated Motion over Ethernet/IP? Thanks in advance, Paul [/INST] The K300 does not use CIP motion, so using the L24 processor to control it is not a problem at all. I've used the K300 with CompactLogix successfully for position control. The accelerator toolkit has some nice code that mimics CIP motion commands. I do not know specifically which command would do the negative motion polarity though. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Servo Motor Swapping Question We have a machine currently using an Allen Bradley kinetix motor (MPL-A320P-MJ22AA). A few years ago we had ordered a replacement/spare motor for this, not sure from who or when exactly, but its has a different part number (MPL-A320P-MJ72AA). This new motor has different connections on it for control and power and now we actually need to use this motor. Currently this motor is static and the cables for power/signal run from the motor to a Kinetix 6000 drive. Is it as simple as just getting a new set of cables that fit these new connectors on this new motor and drive and just replacing it all out? I was looking at the manual for this family of motors (https://imgur.com/a/BxWuX) and was looking at the different connectors and what pins lead to what and not everything lines up perfectly. Does that matter? Is it worth just trying , or is there a risk to damaging the drive/motor if the cables arent correct? If its just a matter of getting new cables, which cables do I need to get. A push in the right direction is all I really need, but the more information I can use the better. [/INST] The switch from 2 to 7 in the part number is when AB went from the bayonet connector to the SpeedTEC connector. I think they made short jumper cables to go from bayonet to SpeedTEC, at one point. As you suggested, it's probably easier to get a SpeedTEC set of cables and re-wire the drive end. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Powerflex 755 bus voltage HIM display does not match measured voltage Summary: Drive has failed, but HIM is not helpful in diagnosing the problem Over the span of a day, A 480VAC PF755 drive configured for CIP motion initially was reporting DECEL INHIBIT faults. Then it began reporting BUS OVERVOLTAGE faults. The end user noted that the bus voltage shown on the drive HIM reported 680V dc bus voltage. At the time of measurement, the line-in voltage showed 470VAC. The end user measured 240-300V bus voltage. That surprised me so much, I had him measure a second drive in the system. It measured 680V (or close enough to the HIM display of that drive not to question it). Remeasuring the bus voltage on the suspect drive, the user got 300V bus voltage, with voltage fluctuations as low as 0V. Replacing the drive got the system operational again. My concern is that the process values on the HIM are worthless. The HIM reported 680V bus voltage the whole time the user measured much lower. Any suggested explanations for this? [/INST] most likely the voltage feedback board is faulty therefore the HIM cannot display the correct value. \\n </s>

All indications are that the drive is running and producing an output, but nothing shows on the output terminals, wired to a motor or open loop. Removed SafeOff connector, and indication changes from Enabled to Not Enabled. So, the summary of the problem is that both the HIM and DriveExecutive show that the drive is creating an output, both in HZ and volts, but nothing is measured on the drive terminals, connected or unconnected.

Mahao [/INST] Hi, if I get your question right, the side depends on your particular installation or application. Basically you utilize a reactor connected to the input of your VFD to help to protect your VFD against disturbances of your power line and also to reduce the total harmonic distortion in the line introduced by the VFD. Basically you utilize a reactor between the VFD output and the motor to protect your VFD against reflected waves in installations where the motor and the VFD are “far” from each other and also to protect some motors from non-sinusoidal wave forms. There can be some other reasons why you want to use a reactor. If you utilize an input reactor connect A1, B1 and C1 to the line and A2, B2 and C2 to the VFD input terminals. If you utilize an output reactor, connect A1, B1 and C1 to the VFD output terminals and A2, B2, C2 to the motor In your case 80A is the rated fundamental amps and Ith = 120A is the max amps Hope this helps Bye \\n </s>

A stepdown transformer and 230V VFD is the correct solution for that motor. Alternatively, get a 480V motor to eliminate the stepdown transformer. If you decide to try using the 230V motor on the 460V VFD, let us know how well it worked and how long the motor lasted before frying (if it did).

[/INST] Cygnusx1, when a motor goes above it's base speed, in your case 1800RPM, the torque will begin to drop off as the speed is increased. See the formula and torque curve below:HP = TN 63,000Where, T = Torque (in-lb) N = Speed (RPM) As the motor speed goes up (N), the torque has to go down to maintain constant HP. To go to 2400RPM, you will have to run at 80Hz. Your torque will drop off considerably. If you go to a 3600RPM motor, you will be in the constant torque area of the torque curve for you full range and you will be running at 40Hz. If you use an inverter duty motor you shouldn't have a problem. \\n </s>

[/INST] A long time ago you could just power up the middle phase and it would work but not on today's drives. The drive has to be powered up to run the HIM but if you're using a 22-Comm-x (C, D, E) moduel, then there is a small box you can purchase from AB that allows you to externally power the moduel but for programming the drive...it has to be connected normally in order to power up the drive electronics, unless there's some AB wizard with a tip we don't know about. I've needed to do just what you're talking about many times in the past so I finally rigged up a 480/120 transformer, fed it in reverse, and then did what I had to do. Again, seems there could be a small 24VDC connector for allowing this to happen BUT....that would be taking too much for granted. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Powerflex 70 main control board replacement. Hello,I have a 30KW powerflex 70 drive and the main control board has failed. I want to know if this board is available as an accessory.Thank You. [/INST] The Powerflex 70 main control pcb's aren't standard spare part items or field replaceable items. Prior to installation the board require several flash files that allow the PCB to work. The files are boot code files, application files plus the firmware files which need to flashed by the factory to the boards. All of these files are flashed at the factory during drive assembly. The best option is to send the drive in for repair, and allow the factory to properly flash the correct files to the drive/pcb. Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic \\n </s>

I'm looking to doing a velocity synchronization application between a Main Conveyor Motor and Take-up Conveyor Motor. I know the PF527 supports the MAG instruction, but does the drive need to have an encoder connected? I'm familiar with the use of servo instructions and Kinetix Drives, but this would be my first use of a PF527. I've looked for examples but couldn't find any. any help/direction is appreciated. Regards Vin [/INST] I've done simple MAJ instructions on a PF755 set up for vector control, open feedback. MAG, almost by definition, wants encoder feedback to synchronise the slave to the master. I think the results without it would be rather poor at best, if not flat out impossible to do. Are both motors on the same conveyor, one supporting the other? Or are they two different conveyors? If it's two motors on one conveyor belt, you could set the slave drive to be a torque-follower and not need feedback on it. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] SMC Flex Configuration Loss I am currently experiencing problems with a couple of SMC Flex softstarters which are connected over DeviceNet to a CompactLogix system. It seems that one of two faults may occur. I have not personally attended any of the problems and are onlyrelaying information given to me. 1. The SMC Flex seems to lose their configured data for apparently no reason. I have told the client to ensure that after he has reprogrammed them that he must save the data to Eprom and he has assured me that he has done this but the configured data loss still occurres from time to time. 2. According to the client it seems that the comms between the PLC and SMC Flex freezes. It does not accept a start command over the network but when a hardwired start command is issued it starts ruling out the possibility that the enable is missing. The firmware revision is 3.006 and ADR is enabled.

We need to run the VFD in three different speeds: jog, low and high. We use a drawing from RA Drives Services and Support (Wiring Diagrams), the one named Selecting Multiple Speed Command Sources (Attached) without success. We have three relays wired to I/O s [/INST] Let's start with the easy stuff. Make sure you've got a good copy of the PF 70 user's manual: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/20a-um001_-en-p.pdf Go to page 68, where it defines how the digital inputs will be used. You are using them correctly (364-366 set to 15, 16, 17). However, note that turning on only input 4 will give preset speed 1, turning on only input 2 will give preset speed 2, but turning on only input 3 will give preset speed 4. Rockwell uses the inputs in binary code to get up to eight (8) preset speeds. You may already know this information, but I want to be sure you understood. Go to page 33, where parameter 90 is defined. You say you've set parameter 90 to value 15, and 93 to value 16. Value 15 means preset speed 5, and value 16 means preset speed 6. Because you want to use the digital inputs and have already defined them properly, you shouldn't have to define parameter 90 at all. However, to get preset speed 1, you will need to set parameter 93 to value 11 (preset speed 1). Go to page 110. There, it says that the default source for speed reference is parameter 90, unless those speed select inputs are closed. To summarize, Parameter 90 doesn't matter. Parmeter 93 should be value 11 (for preset speed 1 when input 4 is closed) You have parameters 364-366 correct Remember that you have to set parameters 101, 102, 103 (the three preset speeds you've decided to use. Page 35 shows the defaults for those three speeds are 5, 10, and 20 hz respectively. Your problem, I believe, is because you've provided no means for starting and stopping the drive. You stated parameters 361, 362, and 363 are set to 0. This is not used according to page 68. Digital input 1 is set by default as a stop input, and digital input 2 is set to start by default (see page 68). Please refer to the installation manual for wiring choices for these two inputs: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/20a-in009_-en-p.pdf Page 37 gives examples. You'd stated you were using old fashioned way to control the drive, so your PLC must provide signals to the drive via input 1 and input 2. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Following 842E-M Encoder with Kinetix 350 Summary: Question on setting up 842E-M as a Virtual Master I am using a 842E-M on a piece of equipment. I have a machine that follows this position. Best case scenario I would use the CIP Ethernet encoder, but there is about a four to six week lead time right now for those. I would just set that as the Master axis is my MAPC and go from there. So for now I am using a regular Absolute Ethernet Encoder. I recieve all my values with no issue. I am guessing I need to use a Virtual Master to imitate the encoder position. I am using the example from the TechNotes on how the setup a Virtual Master using two MAM's for a HSC card with an encoder. Should I do the same here? I am trying it, but the error on it is pretty large. I am open for all suggestions, because I have been beat down by this problem for a few days now. [/INST] Generally, one connects a master encoder through the auxiliary encoder input of a servo axis. At this point in time, it must be a SERVO axis; while PF755 drives support a number of simultaneous encoder inputs, none of them can be used as an auxiliary to be master. The K350 does not have an auxiliary encoder input, so you're stuck using the HSC card as you described. Can you give some more detail about the error? There should be no error on the virtual axis at all? Or do you mean the difference between your encoder input, and the virtual axis? Did you set the values identical to the example in the tech note? I see that (in the V16 example) the check box for master delay compensation is set. Getting the Ethernet/IP encoder is the best route for what you desire; either that or switch the K350 to a K6500; though I'm guessing that isn't going to fly because you probably used the K350 for reasons of cost. \\n </s>

They are reading 400V-405V at the inverter input terminals. I believe the fault level is based on the based on the drive rating (480V) and is a non-settable threshold. We lowered P001 to 380 and switched the display to D005 (DC Bus Voltage) and the display started at 575V and, when it fell over in F004, it read 555V. This seems some way off the 390V stated in the Supplementary Drive Information you forwarded me. Do you know and could you suggest anything else that could contribute to this? Thanks Stuart [/INST] 555V bus voltage would correspond to a theoretical line voltage of 392V. I think you should look harder at your line in voltage. If you can put a power monitor on it, you might find the voltage is sagging far more than you can read with just a multimeter. Also, what is P001? That is not a valid parameter for PF4M. Did you mean P101 motor name plate voltage? Are you measuring voltage as the motors run up? It sounds to me like your voltage source is very soft and not up to the load. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] VFD Clearance issues Summary: Powerflex 520 - Clearance IssuesAll, We are having a little debate at work on VFD clearances. and adhering to the specifications. The question is simple, I just cant find the answer. In the specifications for the Powerflex 520 Series AC Drive, you will find a section on Clearance. It shows different mounting options for Vertical and Horizontal. There are 4 scenarios for mounting vertical when you have more than one VFD, but I am only concerned with two of them 1) Vertical Mount - Keep 1 inch in between. 2) Vertical, Zero Stacking - No clearance in between. My question is, what is Zero Stacking? Is that meaning having two rows of VFD's? That's what I get out of it. Others at work disagree and think the Stacking implies the VFD mounted next to it. I think stacking means having two or more ROWS of VFD's. Co-workers think stacking as a side-by-side VFD mounting. Thoughts anyone? [/INST] It looks like zero stacking simply means when you mount the VFD next to each other with no (zero) space between them. I didn't find anything mentioning having multiple rows of VFDs. In some VFDs this can de-rate the max ambient operating temp. In others, it doesn't affect the max operating temp. Frames 0-6 do not need to be de-rated (see below language from spec sheet). • Zero Stacking™ – Frame 0…6 drives can be mounted next to each other with no reduction of surrounding air temperature rating (50 °C). This unique bookshelf design also allows access to one drive without disturbing another. In general, it looks like zero stacking derates the operating temp by 5 deg C. \\n </s>

<s>[INST] Dual Position is now working but I have a few issue to sort out Can you help with options? 1. When there is not sheet in the straightener the servo goes into a run-away because the motor is trying to close the position error but the encoder is not moving because there is no sheet.Solution 1:install sensor at encoder and MSF the axis when no sheet is present. This would work but would adversely affect next issue. Or maybe only MSF the axis if the axis is Dual Position Servo. then Apply Solution 2.Solution 2:Install sensor at encoder and SSV the Axis to Position servo when no sheet is present. Then re-MSO then axis. 2. When loading a new sheet both the run-away issue is present and the issue that I can not Jog the sheet into the straightener with out Position error. I have about 24 Inches between the pull roler and Encoder.Solution 1:When In Manual or before a Jog command SSV the axis to Position Servo. GSV to be sure the axis is Position servo then execute the Jog Command. Above Sensor would place the Axis into Position Servo. [/INST] Well.. that's a difficult application. First, Switching axis modes from a dual mode to a single mode is restricted according to the K6K firmware release notes (under restrictions). I wouldn't depend on that method working unless you plan on cycling power to the drive to reset the drive configuration every time you switch modes. I would imagine this is unacceptable wait time. I'll admit that I haven't done this before but I'm going to suggest it. Change the servo loop configuration over to Dual Command/Feedback Servo. When the material runs out Zero the Proportional & Integral gain and change the position error to status only (if used). The Dual command should allow the system to still run velocity mode. The thing that I don't know is if the Sercos Card or Motion planner will try to close the position loop from one of the upper control levels. Because the Position gain and Integral gain are zero the only command that the motor reacts to is the Velocity command. If the velocity is zero than the motor should stay stationary. This should still let you jog the motor and move the material. Once the material is feed back into the system the position can be redefined to 0 (select actual-- not command) or some other value that zeros out the position error. You may have to MSF and MSO to reset the position error, I don't know for sure. Re-enable the proportional gain and integral gain and operate the equipment. I won't guarantee this will work but in theory it should. I don't have the hardware to test this either. I'll Take credit if it does work though. :smileywink: \\n </s>

We usually change only a few parameters from factory default and want the ability to eliminate CopyCat or manual configuration via the HIM. Has any one done this? Thanks. [/INST] Bill, you may do this through explicit messaging, that potentially gives you the ability to read/write all the parameters in the drive, but there is also another simple way, using PF7x Datalinks... You have a maximum of 8 Input Datalinks (to write parameters in the Drive) and 8 Output Datalinks (to read parameters from the Drive. I suggest to read the 20-COMM-E User Manual, chapter 5 and chapter 6, in order to understand the two possibilities....there are also some useful examples... Also, take a look to Aid 32629...it has all you need to know in order to use explicit messaging Hope this helps… - fuzzy logic \\n </s>
