Table 4-2 Parameter Block Definitions Level 2

Block Title

PARAMETER

Description

OUTPUT LIMITS

Operating Zone

The PWM operating zone; Standard 2.5kHz or Quiet 8.0kHz.

 

 

 

Two operating modes are also selectable: Constant Torque and Variable Torque.

 

 

 

Constant Torque allows 170 - 200% overload for 3 seconds and 150% overload for 60

 

 

 

seconds. Variable Torque allows 115% peak overload for 60 seconds.

 

 

MIN Output

The minimum output frequency to the motor. The scaling of an external speed

 

 

Frequency

command signal will also be affected to the extent that a minimum speed command

 

 

 

will represent the minimum output frequency. During operation the output frequency

 

 

 

will not be allowed to go below this minimum output frequency (unless the motor is

 

 

 

starting from 0Hz or is ramped (regen) to a stop).

 

 

MAX Output

The maximum output frequency to the motor. The scaling of an external speed

 

 

Frequency

command signal will also be affected to the extent that a maximum speed command

 

 

 

will represent the maximum output frequency. The max output frequency may be

 

 

 

exceeded slightly if slip compensation is active.

 

 

PK Current Limit

The maximum output (peak) current to the motor. Values above 100% of the rated

 

 

 

current may be available depending upon the operating zone selected.

 

 

PWM Frequency

The frequency that the output transistors are switched. PWM should be as low as

 

 

 

possible to minimize stress on the output transistors and motor windings. PWM

 

 

 

frequency is also referred to as “Carrier” frequency.

 

 

REGEN Limit

Automatically increases the output frequency during REGEN periods for cyclic loads.

 

 

 

The output frequency will increase at the rate set by REGEN Limit ADJ but will not

 

 

 

exceed the Level 2, Output Limits “MAX Output Frequency” parameter value.

 

 

REGEN Limit ADJ

The amount of automatic frequency adjustment that occurs when REGEN Limit is turned

 

 

 

ON. Set as a change of hertz per second. Represents the ramp rate of the output

 

 

 

frequency during periods of motoring and overhauling (regen).

 

 

 

CUSTOM UNITS

Max Decimal

The number of decimal places of the Output Rate display on the Keypad display. This

 

 

Places

value will be automatically reduced for large values. The output rate display is only

 

 

 

available if the “Value At Speed” parameter value is non-zero.

 

 

Value At Speed

Sets the desired output rate value per motor RPM. Two numbers are displayed on the

 

 

 

keypad display (separated by a slash “/”). The first number (left most) is the value you

 

 

 

want the keypad to display at a specific motor speed (second number, right most). A

 

 

 

decimal may be inserted into the numbers by placing the flashing cursor over the

 

 

 

up/down arrow.

 

 

Value DEC Places

Serial Only. *

 

 

Value Speed REF

Serial Only. *

 

 

Units of Measure

Allows you to specify units of measure to be displayed on the Output Rate display. Use

 

 

 

the shift and arrow keys to scroll to the first and successive characters. If the

 

 

 

character you want is not displayed, move the flashing cursor over the special

 

 

 

up/down character arrow on the left side of the display. Use the up/down arrows and

 

 

 

the shift key to scroll through all 9 character sets. Use the ENTER key to save your

 

 

Units of MEAS 2

selection.

 

 

Serial Only. *

 

 

 

 

* Note:

Serial Commands. When using the serial command option, the “Value AT Speed”, “Value DEC Places”, and “Value Speed

 

REF” parameters must be set. The Value AT Speed parameter sets the desired output rate per increment of motor speed.

 

The Value DEC Places sets the desired number of decimal places of the Value AT Speed number. The Value Speed REF

 

sets the increment of motor speed for the desired output rate.

 

The Units of Measure parameter sets the two left-most characters of the custom units display while the Units of MEAS 2

 

parameter sets the two right most characters. For example, if “ABCD” is the custom units, “AB” is set in the Level 2 Custom

 

Units block, Units of Measure parameter and “CD” is set in the Level 2 Custom Units block, Units of MEAS 2 parameter.

Note:

Custom Display Units. The output rate display is only available if the Value AT Speed parameter has been changed from a

 

value of 0 (zero). To access the Output Rate display, use the DISP key to scroll to the Output Rate display.
