Vector Controls

If this is a modernization, do not disconnect the old control from the motor. It is needed to

 

operate the motor for some preliminary measurements before it is disconnected. See

 

Modernization.

Equipment Required

The following equipment is required for this upgrade.

 

1.

Elevator rated AC induction motor with encoder installed.

 

2.

Baldor Series 18H or 22H Vector Control.

 

3.

Elevator system controller (PLC-not supplied by Baldor). This controller will be

 

 

connected to the Vector Control.

 

4.

Clamp-On AC Amp Meter. (Voltage and Current range depend on the motor).

New Installations

For new elevator installations that are pre-configured by the OEM, perform the following:

 

(Skip this procedure if this is a modernization).

 

1.

Install the motor and Vector Control. Refer to the Installation and Operating

 

 

Manual supplied with the control for mounting and wiring instructions.

 

2.

Refer to the Installation and Operating manual. Perform the following parts of

 

 

the Manual Tuning procedure: CALC Presets, CMD Offset Trim and CUR Loop

 

 

Comp. Be sure the motor contactor is closed for the CUR Loop Comp test.

 

3.

Apply power. Adjust the Level 1 Vector Control block, Current Prop Gain and

 

 

Speed Prop Gain parameter values for best ride.

Modernization

For modernization of an existing installation, perform these steps instead of those for

 

ªNew Installationº:

 

Caution: Check the motor nameplate ratings and the input voltage at the

 

 

power source and be sure that they match. If the measured input

 

 

voltage is different than the rated voltage on the nameplate do not

 

 

proceed. The Vector control ratings must match the motor ratings

 

 

and the input line voltage. If the Vector Control nameplate shows

 

 

the input voltage and frequency required for proper operation.

 

 

Other input power may damage the control. Refer to the Vector

 

 

Control manual for installation considerations.

 

1.

Disconnect all elevator power.

 

2.

Modify the existing motor and mount the encoder. Temporarily connect the

 

 

encoder to the Vector control J1 terminals (Do not connect the motor leads to

 

 

the Vector Control). See Figure 5-1. The existing elevator control will be used

 

 

to drive the load for these tests. Encoder connections are describe in Section 4

 

 

of this manual.
