Parameter Descriptions

Foldback RMS

FoldbackRMS

This read-only parameter accurately models the thermal heating and cooling of the drive. When this parameter reaches 100 percent, current foldback will be activated.

Following Error

FollowingError

Following Error displays the difference between the Position Command and the Position Feedback.

Enable Following Error

FollowingErrorEnable

This parameter can be setup from the Position view or from a program. When enabled, a following error fault will be generated if the absolute value of the Following Error exceeds the Following Error Limit.

Following Error Limit

FollowingErrorLimit

This parameter is used when the FollowingErrorEnable bit is set. This limit is compared to the absolute value of the FollowingError. If the FollowingError is greater than the FollowingErrorLimit, a following error fault will be generated.

Friction

Friction

This parameter is characterized in terms of the rate of friction increase per 100 motor RPM. If estimated, always use a conservative (less than or equal to actual) estimate. If the friction is completely unknown, a value of zero should be used. A typical value used here is less than one percent.

Gear Accel

Gear.Accel

This parameter sets the acceleration of the realtime gearing ramp. Gear.Accel units are in Follower Units/Velocity Time Base/Acceleration Time Base. The Gear.Accel functions only when the follower is ramping its speed up to meet the Masters at the specified Gear.Ratio.
