Configuring Motor Type

This menu allows you to select a preconfigured IDC motor type. In addition to IDC motor types, the keypad can store one custom motor type. The keypad does not contain a motor editor, so custom motor types must be created using the Application Developer *motor editor, then loaded into the keypad via a project file.

1.Using ↑↓ arrow keys, scroll the list of motors until the desired motor appears on the bottom line.

2.Press ESC to save your motor selection.

Probing the Motor

A new drive setup must be instructed to probe itself after you have selected motor type on the keypad (procedure on next page). The internal setup parameters obtained during the motor probe are stored in nonvolatile memory so that the process need not be repeated every time the power is cycled.

Each time a different type of motor is connected to the drive, the motor must be probed. The drive should always be reconfigured for a new motor to avoid degrading the anti resonance feature and OLSD™. When the drive is probing the attached motor, a short 1 kHz tone will be heard emanating from the motor. Depending on motor type, this tone may persist for anywhere from several seconds to half a minute.

The motor probe may be initiated (1) immediately after configuring motor type, or (2) after all parameters in the EDIT menus have been configured. In either case, the following procedure applies:
