General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect
installation or adjustment of the optional operating parameters of the equipment or from mismatching the variable speed
drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment to a policy
of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the specification of the
product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electrical or

Drive software version


This product is supplied with the latest version of software. If this product is to be used in a new or existing system with
other drives, there may be some differences between their software and the software in this product. These differences
may cause this product to function differently. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre.
The software version of the drive can be checked by looking at Pr 11.29 (or Pr 0.50) and Pr 11.34. The software version
takes the form of zz.yy.xx, where Pr 11.29 displays zz.yy and Pr 11.34 displays xx, i.e. for software version 01.01.00,
Pr 11.29 would display 1.01 and Pr 11.34 would display 0.
If there is any doubt, contact a Control Techniques Drive Centre.

Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations and of its
products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is
certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our Environmental Policy and other
relevant information is available on request, or can be found at www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy and
(through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout their long
working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product
manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they can very easily be dismantled into their
major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated without the use of tools,
while other parts are secured with conventional screws. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller
products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these
containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product, can be recycled in the
same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy favours easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and
regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best practice.

The maximum percentage overload limit changes depending on the selected motor. Variations in motor rated current, motor power factor and motor
leakage inductance all result in changes in the maximum possible overload. The exact value for a specific motor can be calculated using the
equations detailed in section 8.3 Current limits on page 97.
Typical values are shown in the table below:
Operating mode Closed loop from cold Closed loop from 100% Open loop from cold Open loop from 100%
Normal Duty overload with motor rated current = drive rated current 110% for 215s 110% for 5s 110% for 215s 110% for 5s
Heavy Duty overload with motor rated current = drive rated current 175% for 40s 175% for 5s 150% for 60s 150% for 8s
Heavy Duty overload with a typical 4 pole motor 200% for 28s 200% for 3s 175% for 40s 175% for 5s
Generally the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current allowing a higher level of overload than the default setting as
illustrated by the example of a typical 4 pole motor.
NOTE The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.

The Unidrive SP is designed to operate in any of the following modes:


1. Open loop mode
Open loop vector
Fixed V/F mode (V/Hz)
Quadratic V/F mode (V/Hz)
2. Closed loop vector
3. Servo
4. Regen

2.3.1 Open loop mode


For use with standard AC induction motors.
The drive applies power to the motor at frequencies varied by the user.
The motor speed is a result of the output frequency of the drive and slip
due to the mechanical load. The drive can improve the speed control of
the motor by applying slip compensation. The performance at low speed
depends on whether V/F mode or open loop vector mode is selected.
Open loop vector mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency
except at low speed where the drive uses motor parameters to apply the
correct voltage to keep the flux constant under varying load conditions.
Typically 100% torque is available down to 1Hz for a 50Hz motor.
Fixed V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency
except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is set by
the user. This mode can be used for multi-motor applications.
Typically 100% torque is available down to 4Hz for a 50Hz motor.
Quadratic V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the square of
the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided
which is set by the user. This mode can be used for running fan or pump
applications with quadratic load characteristics or for multi-motor
applications. This mode is not suitable for applications requiring a high
starting torque.

2.3.2 Closed loop vector mode


For use with induction motors with a feedback device fitted.
The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback
device to ensure the rotor speed is exactly as demanded. Motor flux is
accurately controlled at all times to provide full torque all the way down
to zero speed.

3.11 Heatsink mounted braking resistor

If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink and heatsink mounted braking resistor can reach
temperatures in excess of 70°C (158°F). Human contact with the heatsink and heatsink mounted braking resistor should be prevented.
WARNING

To avoid the risk of fire when the drive is surface mounted with the braking resistor fitted, the back plate should be a non-flammable
material.
WARNING

The Unidrive SP size 1and 2 have been designed with an optional space-saving heatsink mounted resistor. The resistor can be fitted within the
heatsink fins of the drive. When the heatsink mounted resistor is used, an external thermal protection device is not required as the resistor is
designed such that it will fail safely under fault conditions. The in-built software overload protection is set up at default to protect the resistor. The
resistor is rated to IP40 (NEMA1).
If the drive is to be through-panel mounted with the heatsink mounted brake resistor fitted, then the aperture in the panel through which the drive is
mounted must be modified as shown in Figure 3-25 and Figure 3-26. This is in order to allow for the braking resistor cables and grommets.

The PWM output voltage can adversely affect the inter-turn insulation in

conjunction with the impedance of the motor cable and the distributed relay
nature of the motor winding.
For normal operation with AC supplies up to 500Vac and a standard
motor with a good quality insulation system, there is no need for any
special precautions. In case of doubt the motor supplier should be
consulted.
Special precautions are recommended under the following conditions,
but only if the motor cable length exceeds 10m: Star connection
• AC supply voltage exceeds 500V
• DC supply voltage exceeds 670V
• Operation of 400V drive with continuous or very frequent sustained Inductor
braking
• Multiple motors connected to a single drive
For multiple motors, the precautions given in section 4.7.3 Multiple
motors should be followed.
For the other cases listed, it is recommended that an inverter-rated
motor be used. This has a reinforced insulation system intended by the
manufacturer for repetitive fast-rising pulsed voltage operation.
If it is not practical to use an inverter-rated motor, an output choke
(inductor) should be used. The recommended type is a simple iron-cored
component with a reactance of about 2%. The exact value is not critical.
This operates in conjunction with the capacitance of the motor cable to
increase the rise-time of the motor terminal voltage and prevent 4.7.4 Star / delta motor operation

The recommended motor contactor is the AC3 type.
Chain connection (preferred) Switching of an output contactor should only occur when the output of
the drive is disabled.
Opening or closing of the contactor with the drive enabled will lead to:
1. OI.AC trips (which cannot be reset for 10 seconds)
2. High levels of radio frequency noise emission
3. Increased contactor wear and tear
The Drive Enable terminal (T31) when opened provides a SECURE

4.10.1 Grounding hardware


The Unidrive SP is supplied with a grounding clamp and a grounding
bracket to facilitate EMC compliance. They provide a convenient method
for direct grounding of cable shields without the use of "pig-tails". Cable
shields can be bared and clamped to the grounding bracket using metal
clips or clamps1 (not supplied) or cable ties. Note that the shield must in
all cases be continued through the clamp to the intended terminal on the
drive, in accordance with the connection details for the specific signal.

A suitable clamp is the Phoenix DIN rail mounted SK14 cable clamp
(for cables with a maximum outer diameter of 14mm).

4.10.2 Internal EMC filter
It is recommended that the internal EMC filter be kept in place unless
there is a specific reason for removing it.
If the drive is used on an IT supply or as part of a regen system then the
internal EMC filter must be removed.
The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emission into the mains
supply. Where the motor cable is short, it permits the requirements of
EN61800-3 to be met for the second environment - see section
4.10.4 Compliance with EN61800-3 (standard for Power Drive Systems)
on page 49 and section 12.1.21 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) on
page 195. For longer motor cables the filter continues to provide a useful
reduction in emission level, and when used with any length of shielded
motor cable up to the limit for the drive, it is unlikely that nearby industrial
equipment will be disturbed. It is recommended that the filter be used in
all applications unless the earth leakage current of 28mA is
unacceptable or the above conditions are true. See Figure 4-13 for
details of removing and fitting the internal EMC filter.

The motor cable shields should be connected by a very short conductor
having a low inductance. The use of a flat metal coupling-bar is
recommended; conventional wire is not suitable.
The shields should be bonded directly to the coupling-bar using
uninsulated metal cable-clamps. Keep the length of the exposed power
conductors to a minimum and ensure that all sensitive equipment and
circuits are at least 0.3m (12 in) away.
The coupling-bar may be grounded to a known low-impedance ground

4.11.1 Isolation of the serial communications port


The serial communications port of the Unidrive SP is double insulated
and meets the requirements for SELV in EN50178.

In order to meet the requirements for SELV in IEC60950 (IT


equipment) it is necessary for the control computer to be
grounded. Alternatively, when a lap-top or similar device is
used which has no provision for grounding, an isolation
WARNING device must be incorporated in the communications lead.

An isolated serial communications lead has been designed to connect


the Unidrive SP to IT equipment (such as lap-top computers), and is
available from the supplier of the drive. See below for details:
Table 4-10 Isolated serial comms lead details

The “isolated serial communications” lead has reinforced insulation as
defined in IEC60950 for altitudes up to 3,000m.

When using the CT Comms cable the available baud rate is limited to
19.2k baud.

NOTE N
SSI encoders typically have maximum baud rate of 500kbaud. When a
SSI only encoder is used for speed feedback with a closed loop vector or
servo motor, a large speed feedback filter (Pr 3.42) is required due to the
time taken for the position information to be transferred from the encoder
into the drive. The addition of this filter means that SSI only encoders are
not suitable for speed feedback in dynamic or high-speed applications.

When the drive is disabled through Secure Disable, a possible (although
highly unlikely) failure mode is for two power devices in the inverter
circuit to conduct incorrectly.
This fault cannot produce a steady rotating torque in any AC motor. It
produces no torque in a conventional induction motor with a cage rotor. If
the rotor has permanent magnets and/or saliency, then a transient
alignment torque may occur. The motor may briefly try to rotate by up to
180° electrical, for a permanent magnet motor, or 90° electrical, for a
salient pole induction motor or reluctance motor. This possible failure
mode must be allowed for in the machine design.

To maintain category 3 according to EN954-1 the drive must


be located inside an enclosure with degree of protection at
least IP54.
WARNING

SD inhibits the operation of the drive, this includes inhibiting


braking. If the drive is required to provide both braking and

WARNING to ensure that the drive is disabled a suitable time after

5 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the user interfaces, menu structure and security level of the drive.

5.1 Understanding the display


There are two keypads available for the Unidrive SP. The SM-Keypad has an LED display and the SM-Keypad Plus has an LCD display. Both
keypads can be fitted to the drive but the SM-Keypad Plus can also be remotely mounted on an enclosure door.
5.1.1 SM-Keypad 5.1.2 SM-Keypad Plus
The display consists of two horizontal rows of 7 segment LED displays. The display consists of three lines of text.
The upper display shows the drive status or the current menu and The top line shows the drive status or the current menu and parameter
parameter number being viewed. number being viewed on the left, and the parameter value or the specific
trip type on the right.
The lower display shows the parameter value or the specific trip type.
The lower two lines show the parameter name or the help text.

Both the SM-Keypad and the SM-Keypad Plus can indicate when a SMARTCARD access is taking place or when the second motor map is active
(menu 21). These are indicated on the displays as follows.

5.2 Keypad operation


5.2.1 Control buttons
The keypad consists of:
1. Joypad - used to navigate the parameter structure and change parameter values.
2. Mode button - used to change between the display modes – parameter view, parameter edit, status.
3. Three control buttons - used to control the drive if keypad mode is selected.
4. Help button (SM-Keypad Plus only) - displays text briefly describing the selected parameter.
The Help button toggles between other display modes and parameter help mode. The up and down functions on the joypad scroll the help text to
allow the whole string to be viewed. The right and left functions on the joypad have no function when help text is being viewed.
The display examples in this section show the SM-Keypad 7 segment LED display. The examples are the same for the SM-Keypad Plus except that
the information displayed on the lower row on the SM-Keypad is displayed on the right hand side of the top row on the SM-Keypad Plus.

Unidrive SP is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating autotune. The motor must be at a
standstill before an autotune is enabled. A rotating autotune should be used whenever possible
so the measured value of power factor of the motor is used by the drive.
A rotating autotune will cause the motor to accelerate up to 2/3 base speed in the
direction selected regardless of the reference provided. Once complete the motor
will coast to a stop. The run signal must be removed before the drive can be made
to run at the required reference.

NOTE

Although Pr 3.34 can be set to any value from 0 to 50,000 there are
restrictions on the values actually used by the drive as follows:
Table 7-4 Restrictions of drive encoder lines per revolution
Position feedback device Equivalent Lines per revolution used by the drive
If Pr 3.34 <2, the drive uses the value of 2.
Ab, Fd, Fr If 2≤ Pr 3.34 .≤16,384, the drive uses the value in Pr 3.34.
If Pr 3.34 >16,384, the drive uses the value in Pr 3.34 rounded down to nearest value divisible by 4.
If Pr 3.34 ≤2, the drive uses the value of 2.
Ab.SErVO, Fd.SErVO, Fr.SErVO If 2< Pr 3.34 <16,384, the drive uses the value in Pr 3.34 rounded down to nearest value that is a power of 2.
If Pr 3.34 ≥16,384, the drive uses the value of 16,384.
If Pr 3.34 ≤2, the drive uses the value of 2.
SC, SC.HiPEr, SC.EndAt, SC.SSI If 2< Pr 3.34 <32,768, the drive uses the value in Pr 3.34 rounded down to nearest value that is a power of 2.
If Pr 3.34 ≥32,768, the drive uses the value of 32,768.
If a SC.HiPEr, SC.EndAt, EndAt, SSI or SC.SSI encoder is selected in
Pr 3.34, then the feedback device must be initialised before the drive can
be enabled. Pr 3.48 indicates whether the position feedback is initialised.
At power-up Pr 3.48 is OFF (0) but is set to On (1) when the feedback
has been initialised. The drive cannot be enabled until this parameter is
On (1).
If the encoder power-supply is lost, or the encoder type parameter is
changed when the encoder type is SC.HiPEr, SC.EndAt, EndAt, SSI or
SC.SSI the encoder will no longer be initialised. When an encoder is no
longer initialised Pr 3.48 is reset to OFF (0) and the drive cannot be
enabled. The encoder may be re-initialised, provided the drive is not
active, by setting Pr 3.47 to On (1). This parameter is automatically reset
to OFF (0) when the initialisation is complete. The encoder is also re-
initialised when trips Enc1 to Enc8 are reset.

8 Optimisation
This chapter takes the user through methods of optimising the product
set-up, maximising performance. The auto-tuning features of the drive
simplify this task.
8.1 Motor map parameters
8.1.1 Open loop motor control
Pr 0.46 {5.07} Motor rated current Defines the maximum continuous motor current
The motor rated current parameter must be set to the maximum continuous current of the motor. (See section 8.2 Maximum motor rated current on
page 97, for information about setting this parameter higher then the maximum Heavy Duty current rating.) The motor rated current is used in the
following:
• Current limits (see section 8.3 Current limits on page 97, for more information)
• Motor thermal overload protection (see section 8.4 Motor thermal protection on page 97, for more information)
• Vector mode voltage control (see Voltage mode Pr 0.07, later in this table)
• Slip compensation (see Slip compensation Pr 5.27, later in this table)
• Dynamic V/F control
Pr 0.44 {5.09} Motor rated voltage Defines the voltage applied to the motor at rated frequency

Pr 0.47 {5.06} Motor rated frequency Defines the frequency at which rated voltage is applied

Output voltage characteristic


Output
voltage

The motor rated voltage Pr 0.44 and the motor rated frequency Pr 0.47 Pr 0.44

are used to define the voltage to frequency characteristic applied to the


motor (see voltage mode Pr 0.07, later in this table). The motor rated
frequency is also used in conjunction with the motor rated speed to Pr 0.44 / 2

calculate the rated slip for slip compensation (see motor rated speed Pr
0.45, later in this table).

Pr 0.47 / 2 Pr 0.47 Output


frequency

Pr 0.45 {5.08} Motor rated speed Defines the full load rated speed of the motor

Pr 0.42 {5.11} Motor number of poles Defines the number of motor poles
The motor rated speed and the number of poles are used with the motor rated frequency to calculate the rated slip of induction machines in Hz.
0.42 0.45
Rated slip (Hz) = Motor rated frequency - (Number of pole pairs x [Motor rated speed / 60]) = 0.47 –  ----------- × -----------
 2 60 
If Pr 0.45 is set to 0 or to synchronous speed, slip compensation is disabled. If slip compensation is required this parameter should be set to the
nameplate value, which should give the correct rpm for a hot machine. Sometimes it will be necessary to adjust this when the drive is commissioned
because the nameplate value may be inaccurate. Slip compensation will operate correctly both below base speed and within the field-weakening
region. Slip compensation is normally used to correct for the motor speed to prevent speed variation with load. The rated load rpm can be set higher
than synchronous speed to deliberately introduce speed droop. This can be useful to aid load sharing with mechanically coupled motors.
Pr 0.42 is also used in the calculation of the motor speed display by the drive for a given output frequency. When Pr 0.42 is set to ‘Auto’, the number
of motor poles is automatically calculated from the rated frequency Pr 0.47, and the motor rated speed Pr 0.45.
Number of poles = 120 x (Motor rated frequency Pr 0.47 / Motor rated speed Pr 0.45) rounded to the nearest even number
Pr 0.43 {5.10} Motor rated power factor Defines the angle between the motor voltage and current
The power factor is the true power factor of the motor, i.e. the angle between the motor voltage and current. The power factor is used in conjunction
with the motor rated current Pr 0.46, to calculate the rated active current and magnetising current of the motor. The rated active current is used
extensively to control the drive, and the magnetising current is used in vector mode stator resistance compensation. It is important that this
parameter is set up correctly. The drive can measure the motor rated power factor by performing a rotating autotune (see Autotune Pr 0.40, below).
Pr 0.40 {5.12} Autotune
There are two autotune tests available in open loop mode, a stationary and a rotating test. A rotating autotune should be used whenever possible so
the measured value of power factor of the motor is used by the drive.
• A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is not possible to remove the load from the motor shaft. The stationary test
measures the stator resistance (Pr 5.17) and voltage offset (Pr 5.23), which are required for good performance in vector control modes (see
Voltage mode Pr 0.07, later in this table). The stationary autotune does not measure the power factor of the motor so the value on the motor
nameplate must be entered into Pr 0.43. To perform a Stationary autotune, set Pr 0.40 to 1, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on
terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
• A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is unloaded. A rotating autotune first performs a stationary autotune, as above, before
rotating the motor at 2/3 base speed in the direction selected for several seconds (regardless of the speed reference). In addition to the stator
resistance (Pr 5.17) and voltage offset (Pr 5.23), the rotating autotune measures the power factor of the motor and updates Pr 0.43 with the
correct value. To perform a Rotating autotune, set Pr 0.40 to 2, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal
(on terminal 26 or 27).
Following the completion of an autotune test, either the run signal or the enable signal must be removed before the drive can then be made to run at
the required reference.

Pr 0.07 {5.14} Voltage mode


There are six voltage modes available which fall into two categories, vector control and fixed boost.
Vector control
Vector control mode provides the motor with a linear voltage characteristic from 0Hz to motor rated frequency (Pr 0.47), and then a constant voltage
above motor rated frequency. When the drive operates between motor rated frequency/50 and motor rated frequency/4, full vector based stator
resistance compensation is applied. When the drive operates between motor rated frequency/4 and motor rated frequency/2 the stator resistance
compensation is gradually reduced to zero as the frequency increases. For the vector modes to operate correctly the motor rated power factor (Pr
0.43), stator resistance (Pr 5.17) and voltage offset (Pr 5.23) are all required to be set up accurately. The drive can be made to measure these by
performing an autotune (see Pr 0.40 Autotune). The drive can also be made to measure the stator resistance and voltage offset automatically every
time the drive is enabled or the first time the drive is enabled after it is powered up, by selecting one of the vector control voltage modes.
(0) Ur_S = The stator resistance and the voltage offset are measured and the parameters for the selected motor map are over-written each
time the drive is made to run. This test can only be done with a stationary motor where the flux has decayed to zero. Therefore this mode should
only be used if the motor is guaranteed to be stationary each time the drive is made to run. To prevent the test from being done before the flux
has decayed there is a period of 1 second after the drive has been in the ready state during which the test is not done if the drive is made to run
again. In this case, previously measured values are used. Ur_s mode ensures that the drive compensates for any change in motor parameters
due to changes in temperature. The new values of stator resistance and voltage offset are not automatically saved to the drive's EEPROM.
(4) Ur_I = The stator resistance and voltage offset are measured when the drive is first made to run after each power-up. This test can only be
done with a stationary motor. Therefore this mode should only be used if the motor is guaranteed to be stationary the first time the drive is made
to run after each power-up. The new values of stator resistance and voltage offset are not automatically saved to the drive's EEPROM.
(1) Ur = The stator resistance and voltage offset are not measured. The user can enter the motor and cabling resistance into the stator
resistance parameter (Pr 5.17). However this will not include resistance effects within the drive inverter. Therefore if this mode is to be used, it is
best to use an autotune test initially to measure the stator resistance and voltage offset.
(3) Ur_Auto= The stator resistance and voltage offset are measured once, the first time the drive is made to run. After the test has been
completed successfully the voltage mode (Pr 0.07) is changed to Ur mode. The stator resistance (Pr 5.17) and voltage offset (Pr 5.23)
parameters are written to, and along with the voltage mode (Pr 0.07), are saved in the drive's EEPROM. If the test fails, the voltage mode will
stay set to Ur_Auto and the test will be repeated next time the drive is made to run.
Fixed boost
Neither the stator resistance nor the voltage offset are used in the control of the motor, instead a fixed characteristic with low frequency voltage
boost as defined by parameter Pr 0.08, is used. Fixed boost mode should be used when the drive is controlling multiple motors. There are two
settings of fixed boost available:
(2) Fd = This mode provides the motor with a linear voltage characteristic from 0Hz to rated frequency (Pr 0.47), and then a constant voltage
above rated frequency.
(5) SrE = This mode provides the motor with a square law voltage characteristic from 0Hz to rated frequency (Pr 0.47), and then a constant
voltage above rated frequency. This mode is suitable for variable torque applications like fans and pumps where the load is proportional to the
square of the speed of the motor shaft. This mode should not be used if a high starting torque is required.
For both these modes, at low frequencies (from 0Hz to ½ x Pr 0.47) a voltage boost is applied defined by Pr 0.08 as shown below:
Output voltage characteristic Output voltage characteristic

Pr 5.27 Slip compensation


When a motor, being controlled in open loop mode, has load applied a characteristic of the motor is that the output speed droops in proportion to the
load applied as shown:
Demanded speed

Shaft speed

Load

In order to prevent the speed droop shown above slip compensation should be enabled.
To enable slip compensation Pr 5.27 must be set to a 1 (this is the default setting), and the motor rated speed must be entered in Pr 0.45 (Pr 5.08).
The motor rated speed parameter should be set to the synchronous speed of the motor minus the slip speed. This is normally displayed on the
motor nameplate, i.e. for a typical 18.5kW, 50Hz, 4 pole motor, the motor rated speed would be approximately 1465rpm. The synchronous speed for
a 50Hz, 4 pole motor is 1500rpm, so therefore the slip speed would be 35rpm.
If the synchronous speed is entered in Pr 0.45, slip compensation will be disabled. If too small a value is entered in Pr 0.45, the motor will run faster
than the demanded frequency.
The synchronous speeds for 50Hz motors with different numbers of poles are as follows:
2 pole = 3000rpm, 4 pole = 1500rpm, 6pole =1000rpm, 8 pole = 750rpm

8.1.2 Closed loop vector motor control


Pr 0.46 {5.07} Motor rated current Defines the maximum motor continuous current
The motor rated current parameter must be set to the maximum continuous current of the motor. (See section 8.2 Maximum motor rated current on
page 97, for information about setting this parameter higher than the maximum Heavy Duty current rating.) The motor rated current is used in the
following:
• Current limits (see section 8.3 Current limits on page 97, for more information)
• Motor thermal overload protection (see section 8.4 Motor thermal protection on page 97, for more information)
• Vector control algorithm
Pr 0.44 {5.09} Motor rated voltage Defines the voltage applied to the motor at rated frequency

Pr 0.47 {5.06} Motor rated frequency Defines the frequency at which rated voltage is applied
The motor rated voltage Pr 0.44 and the motor rated frequency Pr 0.47
Output voltage characteristic
are used to define the relationship between the voltage and frequency Output
voltage
applied to the motor, as shown.
The motor rated voltage is used by the field controller to limit the voltage Pr 0.44
applied to the motor. Normally this is set to the nameplate value. To allow
current control to be maintained, it is necessary for the drive to leave
some 'headroom' between the motor terminal voltage and the maximum
available drive output voltage. For good transient performance at high
Pr 0.44 / 2
speed, the motor rated voltage should be set below 95% of the minimum
supply voltage to the drive.
The motor rated voltage and motor rated frequency are also used during
the rotating autotune test (see Autotune Pr 0.40 later in this table) and in
the calculations required for automatic optimisation of the motor rated
Output
speed (see Motor rated speed optimisation Pr 5.16, later in this table). Pr 0.47 / 2 Pr 0.47
frequency
Therefore, it is important that the correct value for motor rated voltage is
used.
Pr 0.45 {5.08} Motor rated speed Defines the full load rated speed of the motor

Pr 0.42 {5.11} Motor number of poles Defines the number of motor poles
The motor rated speed and motor rated frequency are used to determine the full load slip of the motor which is used by the vector control algorithm.
Incorrect setting of this parameter has the following effects:
• Reduced efficiency of motor operation
• Reduction of maximum torque available from the motor
• Reduced transient performance
• Inaccurate control of absolute torque in torque control modes
The nameplate value is normally the value for a hot motor; however, some adjustment may be required when the drive is commissioned if the
nameplate value is inaccurate. Either a fixed value can be entered in this parameter or an optimisation system may be used to automatically adjust
this parameter (see Motor rated speed Pr 5.16, later in this table).
When Pr 0.42 is set to ‘Auto’, the number of motor poles is automatically calculated from the motor rated frequency Pr 0.47, and the motor rated
speed Pr 0.45
Number of poles = 120 x (Motor rated frequency Pr 0.47 / Motor rated speed Pr 0.45) rounded to the nearest even number
Pr 0.43 {5.10} Motor rated power factor Defines the angle between the motor voltage and current
The power factor is the true power factor of the motor, i.e. the angle between the motor voltage and current. If the stator inductance is set to zero (Pr
5.25) then the power is used in conjunction with the motor rated current Pr 0.46 and other motor parameters to calculate the rated active and
magnetising currents of the motor, which are used in the vector control algorithm. If the stator inductance has a non-zero value this parameter is not
used by the drive, but is continuously written with a calculated value of power factor. The stator inductance can be measured by the drive by
performing a rotating autotune (see Autotune Pr 0.40, later in this table).

Pr 0.40 {5.12} Autotune


There are three autotune tests available in closed loop vector mode, a stationary test, a rotating test and an inertia measurement test. A stationary
autotune will give moderate performance whereas a rotating autotune will give improved performance as it measures the actual values of the motor
parameters required by the drive. An inertia measurement test should be performed separately to a stationary or rotating autotune.
• A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is not possible to remove the load from the motor shaft. The stationary
autotune measures the stator resistance (Pr 5.17) and transient inductance (Pr 5.24) of the motor. These are used to calculate the current loop
gains, and at the end of the test the values in Pr 4.13 and Pr 4.14 are updated. A stationary autotune does not measure the power factor of the
motor so the value on the motor nameplate must be entered into Pr 0.43. To perform a Stationary autotune, set Pr 0.40 to 1, and provide the
drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
• A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is unloaded. A rotating autotune first performs a stationary autotune before rotating the
motor at 2/3 of motor rated frequency in the direction selected for approximately 30s. During the rotating autotune the stator inductance (Pr 5.25),
and the motor saturation breakpoints (Pr 5.29 and Pr 5.30) are modified by the drive. The power factor is also modified for user information only,
but is not used after this point as the stator inductance is used in the vector control algorithm instead. To perform a Rotating autotune, set Pr
0.40 to 2, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
• The inertia measurement test can measure the total inertia of the load and the motor. This is used to set the speed loop gains (see Speed loop
gains) and to provide torque feed-forwards when required during acceleration.
During the inertia measurement test the drive attempts to accelerate the motor in the direction selected up to 3/4 x rated load rpm and then back
to standstill. The drive uses rated torque/16, but if the motor cannot be accelerated to the required speed the drive then increases the torque
progressively to x1/8, x1/4, x1/2 and x1 rated torque. If the required speed is not achieved on the final attempt the test is aborted and a tuNE1 trip
is initiated. If the test is successful the acceleration and deceleration times are used to calculate the motor and load inertia which is then written
to Pr 3.18. The motor map parameters must be set up correctly including the power factor before performing an inertia measurement test.
To perform an Inertia measurement autotune, set Pr 0.40 to 3, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal
(on terminal 26 or 27).
Following the completion of an autotune test, either the run signal or the enable signal must be removed before the drive can then be made to run at
the required reference.
Pr 5.16 Motor rated speed autotune
The motor rated speed parameter (Pr 0.45) in conjunction with the motor rated frequency parameter (Pr 0.47) defines the full load slip of the motor.
The slip is used in the motor model for closed-loop vector control. The full load slip of the motor varies with rotor resistance which can vary
significantly with motor temperature. When Pr 5.16 is set to 1 or 2 the drive can automatically sense if the value of slip defined by Pr 0.47 and Pr
0.45 has been set incorrectly or if it has varied with motor temperature. If the value is incorrect Pr 0.45 is automatically adjusted. Pr 0.45 is not saved
at power-down, and so when the drive is powered-down and up again it will return to the last saved value. If the new value is required at the next
power-up it must be saved by the user. Automatic optimisation is only enabled when the speed is above rated speed/8, and when the load on the
motor load rises above 5/8 rated load. Optimisation is disabled again if the load falls below 1/2 rated load. For best optimisation results the correct
values of stator resistance (Pr 5.17), transient inductance (Pr 5.24), stator inductance (Pr 5.25) and saturation breakpoints (Pr 5.29, Pr 5.30) should
be stored in the relevant parameters (all these can be measured by the drive by performing a rotating autotune). Motor rated speed autotune is not
available if the drive is not using external position/speed feedback.
The gain of the optimiser, and hence the speed with which it converges, can be set at a normal low level when Pr 5.16 is set to 1. If this parameter
is set to 2, the gain is increased by a factor of 16 to give faster convergence.
Pr 0.38 {4.13} / Pr 0.39 {4.14} Current loop gains
The current loop gains proportional (Kp) and integral (Ki) gains control the response of the current loop to a change in current (torque) demand. The
default values give satisfactory operation with most motors. However, for optimal performance in dynamic applications it may be necessary to
change the gains to improve the performance. The proportional gain (Pr 4.13) is the most critical value in controlling the performance. The values
for the current loop gains can be found by one of the following:
• Calculated by the drive after performing a stationary or rotating autotune (see Autotune Pr 0.40, earlier in this table).
• Set by the user, using the following equations.
The proportional gain (Pr 0.38) = Kp = K x L x 10-3 x Rated drive current
The integral gain (Pr 0.39) = Ki = 0.0427 x K x R x Rated drive current
Where:
L is the motor inductance in mH. For an induction motor this is the per phase transient inductance (σLs), which is the value stored in Pr 5.24
after the autotune test has been carried out. The numerical value in Pr 5.24 can be input directly into the above equation. If the per phase motor
transient inductance (Pr 5.24) cannot be measured it can be calculated from the steady state per-phase equivalent circuit of the motor as
follows:
2
 Lm 
σL s = L s –  ----------
 Lr 
K depends on the Drive voltage rating as follows:
Drive voltage rating (Pr 11.33)
200V 400V 575V 690V
2902 1451 1217 1013
Rated drive current is the value in Pr 11.31 on the drive.
R is the per phase stator resistance of the motor (i.e. half the resistance measured between two phases). This is the same as the value stored
in Pr 5.17 following a successful measurement. Refer to Autotune (Pr 0.40).
This set up will give a step response with minimum overshoot after a step change of current reference. The proportional gain can be increased by a
factor of 1.5 giving a similar increase in bandwidth; however, this gives at step response with approximately 12.5% overshoot. The equation for the
integral gain gives a conservative value. In some applications where it is necessary for the reference frame used by the drive to dynamically follow
the flux very closely (i.e. high speed closed-loop induction motor applications) the integral gain may need to have a significantly higher value.

Speed loop gains (Pr 0.07 {3.10}, 0.08 {3.11}, 0.09 {3.12})
The speed loop gains control the response of the speed controller to a change in speed demand. The speed controller includes proportional (Kp)
and integral (Ki) feed forward terms, and a differential (Kd) feedback term. The drive holds two sets of these gains and either set may be selected for
use by the speed controller with Pr 3.16. If Pr 3.16 = 0, gains Kp1, Ki1 and Kd1 (Pr 0.07 to Pr 0.09) are used, and if Pr 3.16 = 1, gains Kp2, Ki2 and
Kd2 (Pr 3.13 to Pr 3.15) are used. Pr 3.16 may be changed when the drive is enabled or disabled. If the load is predominantly a constant inertia and
constant torque, the drive can calculate the required Kp and Ki gains to give a required compliance angle or bandwidth dependant on the setting of
Pr 3.17.
Proportional gain (Kp), Pr 0.07 and Pr 3.13
If the proportional gain has a value and the integral gain is set to zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a speed
error to produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a difference between the reference and actual speeds. This
effect, called regulation, depends on the level of the proportional gain, the higher the gain the smaller the speed error for a given load. If the
proportional gain is too high either the acoustic noise produced by speed feedback quantisation becomes unacceptable, or the closed-loop stability
limit is reached.
Integral gain (Ki), Pr 0.08 and Pr 3.14
The integral gain is provided to prevent speed regulation. The error is accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessary torque
demand without any speed error. Increasing the integral gain reduces the time taken for the speed to reach the correct level and increases the
stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor. Unfortunately increasing the
integral gain also reduces the system damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain the damping can be improved by
increasing the proportional gain. A compromise must be reached where the system response, stiffness and damping are all adequate for the
application.
Differential gain (Kd), Pr 0.09 and Pr 3.15
The differential gain is provided in the feedback of the speed controller to give additional damping. The differential term is implemented in a way that
does not introduce excessive noise normally associated with this type of function. Increasing the differential term reduces the overshoot produced
by under-damping, however, for most applications the proportional and integral gains alone are sufficient.
There are three methods of tuning the speed loop gains dependant on the setting of Pr 3.17:
1. Pr 3.17 = 0, User set-up.
This involves the connecting of an oscilloscope to analog output 1 to
monitor the speed feedback.
Give the drive a step change in speed reference and monitor the
response of the drive on the oscilloscope.
The proportional gain (Kp) should be set up initially. The value
should be increased up to the point where the speed overshoots and Speed demand
then reduced slightly.
The integral gain (Ki) should then be increased up to the point where
the speed becomes unstable and then reduced slightly.
It may now be possible to increase the proportional gain to a higher
value and the process should be repeated until the system response Insufficient proportional
matches the ideal response as shown. gain [0.07]
The diagram shows the effect of incorrect P and I gain settings as
well as the ideal response.
2. Pr 3.17 = 1, Bandwidth set-up
If bandwidth based set-up is required, the drive can calculate Kp and
Excessive proportional
Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly: gain [0.07]
Pr 3.20 - Required bandwidth,
Pr 3.21 - Required damping factor,
Pr 3.18 - Motor and load inertia. The drive can be made to
measure the motor and load inertia by performing an inertia
Excessive integral gain
measurement autotune (see Autotune Pr 0.40, earlier in this [0.08]
table).
3. Pr 3.17 = 2, Compliance angle set-up
If compliance angle based set-up is required, the drive can calculate
Kp and Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Ideal response
Pr 3.19 - Required compliance angle,
Pr 3.21 - Required damping factor,
Pr 3.18 - Motor and load inertia The drive can be made to
measure the motor and load inertia by performing an inertia

table).

The motor rated current parameter must be set to the maximum continuous current of the motor. The motor rated current is used in the following:
• Current limits (see section 8.3 Current limits on page 97, for more information)
• Motor thermal overload protection (see section 8.4 Motor thermal protection on page 97, for more information)
Pr 0.42 {5.11} Motor number of poles Defines the number of motor poles
The motor number of poles parameter defines the number of electrical revolutions in one whole mechanical revolution of the motor. This parameter
must be set correctly for the control algorithms to operate correctly. When Pr 0.42 is set to "Auto" the number of poles is 6.
Pr 0.40 {5.12} Autotune
There are three autotune tests available in servo mode, a short low speed test, a normal low speed test and an inertia measurement test. A normal
low speed should be done where possible as the drive measures the stator resistance and inductance of the motor, and from these calculates the
current loop gains. An inertia measurement test should be performed separately to a short low speed or normal low speed autotune.
• A short low speed test will rotate the motor by 2 electrical revolutions (i.e. up to 2 mechanical revolutions) in the direction selected. The drive
applies rated current to the motor during the test and measures the encoder phase angle (Pr 3.25). The phase angle measurement is taken
when the motor has stopped at the end of the test, therefore there must be no load on the motor when it is at rest for the correct angle to be
measured. This test takes approximately 2 seconds to complete and can only be used where the rotor settles to a stable position in a short time.
• A normal low speed test will rotate the motor by 2 electrical revolutions (i.e. up to 2 mechanical revolutions) in the direction selected. The drive
applies rated current to the motor during the test and measures the encoder phase angle (Pr 3.25). The phase angle measurement is taken
when the motor has stopped at the end of the test, therefore there must be no load on the motor when it is at rest for the correct angle to be
measured. The motor resistance (Pr 5.17) and inductance (Pr 5.24) are then measured, and the values are used to set up the current loop gains
(Pr 0.38 {4.13} and Pr 0.39 {4.14}). The whole test takes approximately 20 seconds and can be used with motors that take time to settle after
the rotor has moved. During the motor inductance measurement the drive applies current pulses to the motor that produces flux that opposes
the flux produced by the magnets. The maximum current applied is a quarter of rated current (Pr 0.46). This current is unlikely to affect the
motor magnets, however, if this level of current could permanently de-magnetise the magnets the rated current should be set to a lower level for
the tests to avoid this.
0

• The inertia measurement test can measure the total inertia of the load and the motor. This is used to set the speed loop gains (see Speed loop
gains) and to provide torque feed-forwards when required during acceleration.
During the inertia measurement test the drive attempts to accelerate the motor in the direction selected up to 3/4 x rated load rpm and then back to
standstill. The drive uses rated torque/16, but if the motor cannot be accelerated to the required speed the drive then increases the torque
progressively to x1/8, x1/4, x1/2 and x1 rated torque. If the required speed is not achieved on the final attempt the test is aborted and a tuNE1 trip is
initiated. If the test is successful the acceleration and deceleration times are used to calculate the motor and load inertia which is then written to Pr
3.18. The value of the value of motor torque per amp in Pr 5.32 and the motor rated speed in Pr 5.08 must be set up correctly before performing an
inertia measurement test.
To perform an Inertia measurement autotune, set Pr 0.40 to 3, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on
terminal 26 or 27).
Following the completion of an autotune test, either the run signal or the enable signal must be removed before the drive can then be made to run at
the required reference.
Current loop gains (Pr 0.38 {4.13} / 0.39 {4.14})
The current loop gains proportional (Kp) and integral (Ki) gains control the response of the current loop to a change in current (torque) demand. The
default values give satisfactory operation with most motors. However, for optimal performance in dynamic applications it may be necessary to
change the gains to improve the performance. The proportional gain (Pr 4.13) is the most critical value in controlling the performance.
The values for the current loop gains can be found by one of the following:
• Calculated by the drive after performing a stationary or rotating autotune (see Autotune Pr 0.40, above).
• Set by the user, using the following equations.
The proportional gain (Pr 0.38) = Kp = K x L x 10-3 x Rated drive current
The integral gain (Pr 0.39) = Ki = 0.0427 x K x R x Rated drive current
Where:
L is the motor inductance in mH. For a servo motor this is half the phase to phase inductance that is normally specified by the manufacturer.
This is also the value stored in Pr 5.24 after the autotune test has been carried out. The numerical value in Pr 5.24 can be input directly into the
above equation.
K depends on the Drive voltage rating as follows:
Drive voltage rating (Pr 11.33)
200V 400V 575V 690V
2902 1451 1217 1013
Rated drive current is the value in Pr 11.31 on the drive.
R is the per phase stator resistance of the motor (i.e. half the resistance measured between two phases). This is the same as the value stored
in Pr 5.17 following a successful measurement. Refer to Autotune (Pr 0.40).
This set up will give a step response with minimum overshoot after a step change of current reference. The proportional gain can be increased by a
factor of 1.5 giving a similar increase in bandwidth; however, this gives at step response with approximately 12.5% overshoot. The equation for the
integral gain gives a conservative value. In some applications where it is necessary for the reference frame used by the drive to dynamically follow
the flux very closely the integral gain may need to have a significantly higher value.

Speed loop gains (Pr 0.07 {3.10}, 0.08 {3.11}, 0.09 {3.12})
The speed loop gains control the response of the speed controller to a change in speed demand. The speed controller includes proportional (Kp)
and integral (Ki) feed forward terms, and a differential (Kd) feedback term. The drive holds two sets of these gains and either set may be selected for
use by the speed controller with Pr 3.16. If Pr 3.16 = 0, gains Kp1, Ki1 and Kd1 (Pr 0.07 to Pr 0.09) are used, and if Pr 3.16 = 1, gains Kp2, Ki2 and
Kd2 (Pr 3.13 to Pr 3.15) are used. Pr 3.16 may be changed when the drive is enabled or disabled. If the load is predominantly a constant inertia and
constant torque, the drive can calculate the required Kp and Ki gains to give a required compliance angle or bandwidth dependant on the setting of
Pr 3.17.
Proportional gain (Kp), Pr 0.07 and Pr 3.13
If the proportional gain has a value and the integral gain is set to zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a speed
error to produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a difference between the reference and actual speeds. This
effect, called regulation, depends on the level of the proportional gain, the higher the gain the smaller the speed error for a given load. If the
proportional gain is too high either the acoustic noise produced by speed feedback quantisation becomes unacceptable, or the closed-loop stability
limit is reached.
Integral gain (Ki), Pr 0.08 and Pr 3.14
The integral gain is provided to prevent speed regulation. The error is accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessary torque
demand without any speed error. Increasing the integral gain reduces the time taken for the speed to reach the correct level and increases the
stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor. Unfortunately increasing the
integral gain also reduces the system damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain the damping can be improved by
increasing the proportional gain. A compromise must be reached where the system response, stiffness and damping are all adequate for the
application.
Differential gain (Kd), Pr 0.09 and Pr 3.15
The differential gain is provided in the feedback of the speed controller to give additional damping. The differential term is implemented in a way that
does not introduce excessive noise normally associated with this type of function. Increasing the differential term reduces the overshoot produced
by under-damping, however, for most applications the proportional and integral gains alone are sufficient.
There are three methods of tuning the speed loop gains dependant on the setting of Pr 3.17:
1. Pr 3.17 = 0, User set-up.
This involves the connecting of an oscilloscope to analog output 1 to
monitor the speed feedback.
Give the drive a step change in speed reference and monitor the
response of the drive on the oscilloscope.
The proportional gain (Kp) should be set up initially. The value
should be increased up to the point where the speed overshoots and
Speed demand
then reduced slightly.
The integral gain (Ki) should then be increased up to the point where
the speed becomes unstable and then reduced slightly.
It may now be possible to increase the proportional gain to a higher
value and the process should be repeated until the system response
matches the ideal response as shown. Insufficient proportional
gain [0.07]
The diagram shows the effect of incorrect P and I gain settings as
well as the ideal response.
2. Pr 3.17 = 1, Bandwidth set-up
If bandwidth based set-up is required, the drive can calculate Kp and
Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Excessive proportional
Pr 3.20 - Required bandwidth, gain [0.07]
Pr 3.21 - Required damping factor,
Pr 5.32 - Motor torque per amp (Kt).
Pr 3.18 - Motor and load inertia. The drive can be made to
measure the motor and load inertia by performing an inertia
measurement autotune (see Autotune Pr 0.40, earlier in this Excessive integral gain
table). [0.08]
3. Pr 3.17 = 2, Compliance angle set-up
If compliance angle based set-up is required, the drive can calculate
Kp and Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Pr 3.19 - Required compliance angle, Ideal response
Pr 3.21 - Required damping factor,
Pr 5.32 - Motor torque per amp (Kt).
Pr 3.18 - Motor and load inertia The drive can be made to
measure the motor and load inertia by performing an inertia
measurement autotune (see Autotune Pr 0.40, earlier in this
table).

Installing the SMARTCARD SMARTCARD installed


9.1 Introduction
This is a standard feature that enables simple configuration of
parameters in a variety of ways. The SMARTCARD can be used for:
• Parameter cloning between drives
• Saving whole drive parameter sets
• Saving ‘differences from default‘ parameter sets
• Storing Onboard PLC programs
• Automatically saving all user parameter changes for maintenance
purposes
• Loading complete motor map parameters
The SMARTCARD is located at the top of the module under the drive
display (if fitted) on the left-hand side. Ensure the SMARTCARD is
inserted with the contacts facing the right-hand side of the drive.
The drive only communicates with the SMARTCARD when commanded
to read or write, meaning the card may be "hot swapped".

Encoder phase angle (servo mode only)


The encoder phase angle in Pr 3.25 and Pr 21.20 is cloned
when using the SMARTCARD with drive software version
V01.05.00 onwards. This is useful when the SMARTCARD is
WARNING
used to backup the parameter set of a drive but caution
should be used if the SMARTCARD is used to transfer
parameter sets between drives.
Unless the encoder phase angle of the servo motor
connected to the destination drive is known to be the same
as the servo motor connected to the source drive, an
autotune should be performed or the encoder phase angle
should be entered manually into Pr 3.25 (or Pr 21.20).
If the encoder phase angle is incorrect the drive may lose
control of the motor resulting in an O.SPd or Enc10 trip when
the drive is enabled.

when programmed with SYPT, the Onboard PLC program has the
following limitations:
• The maximum program size is 4032 bytes including header and
optional source code.
• The Unidrive SP is rated for 100 program downloads. This limitation
is imposed by the flash memory used to store the program within the
drive.
• The user cannot create user variables. The user is only able to
manipulate the drive parameter set.
• The program cannot be downloaded or monitored over CTNet. The
program is only accessible via the drives RJ45 serial
communications port.
• There are no real-time tasks, i.e. the scheduling rate of the program

10.7 Onboard PLC and the SMARTCARD


The Onboard PLC program in a drive may be transferred from the drive
to a SMARTCARD and vice versa.
• To transfer an Onboard PLC program from the drive to a
SMARTCARD, set Pr xx.00 to 5yyy and reset the drive
• To transfer an Onboard PLC program from the SMARTCARD to a
drive, set Pr xx.00 to 6yyy and reset the drive.
(Where yyy is the data block location, see Table 9-1 SMARTCARD data
blocks on page 101 for restrictions on block numbers).
If an attempt is made to transfer an Onboard PLC program from a drive
to the SMARTCARD when the drive contains no program, the block is
still created on the SMARTCARD but it will contain no data. If this data
block is then transferred to a drive, the destination drive will then have
no Onboard PLC program.
A SMARTCARD has a capacity of 4064 bytes and each block can be up
to 4064 bytes in size. The maximum size of a user program is 4032
bytes so it is guaranteed that any Onboard PLC program downloaded to
a Unidrive SP will fit on to an empty SMARTCARD. A number of small
Onboard PLC programs can be stored on one SMARTCARD.

NOTE
Parameter numbers shown in brackets {...} are the equivalent Menu 0
parameters. Some Menu 0 parameters appear twice since their function
depends on the operating mode.
The Range - CL column applies to both Closed-loop Vector and Closed-
loop Servo. For some parameters, this column applies only to one of
these modes; this is indicated accordingly in the Default columns.
In some cases, the function or range of a parameter is affected by the
setting of another parameter; the information in the lists relates to the
default condition of such parameters.

Parameter ranges and variable maximums:


The two values provided define the minimum and maximum values for
the given parameter. In some cases the parameter range is variable and
dependant on either:
• other parameters
• the drive rating
• drive mode
• or a combination of these
The values given in Table 11-3 are the variable maximums used in the
drive.
Table 11-3 Definition of parameter ranges & variable maximums

Maximum Definition
SPEED_FREQ_MAX Maximum speed (closed-loop mode) reference or frequency (open-loop mode) reference
[Open-loop 3000.0Hz, If Pr 1.08 = 0: SPEED_FREQ_MAX = Pr 1.06
Closed-loop vector and Servo If Pr 1.08 = 1: SPEED_FREQ_MAX is Pr 1.06 or – Pr 1.07 whichever is the largest
40000.0rpm] (If the second motor map is selected Pr 21.01 is used instead of Pr 1.06 and Pr 21.02 instead of Pr 1.07)
Maximum applied to speed reference limits
A maximum limit may be applied to the speed reference to prevent the nominal encoder frequency from
exceeding 410kHz. The maximum is defined by
SPEED_LIMIT_MAX (in rpm) = 410kHz x 60 / ELPR = 2.46 x 107 / ELPR subject to an absolute maximum of
40,000 rpm.
ELPR is equivalent encoder lines per revolution and is the number of lines that would be produced by a
SPEED_LIMIT_MAX quadrature encoder.
[40000.0rpm] Quadrature encoder ELPR = number of lines per revolution
F and D encoder ELPR = number of lines per revolution / 2
Resolver ELPR = resolution / 4
SINCOS encoder ELPR = number of sine waves per revolution
Serial comms encoder ELPR = resolution / 4
This maximum is defined by the device selected with the speed feedback selector (Pr 3.26) and the ELPR set
for the position feedback device.
Maximum speed
SPEED_MAX This maximum is used for some speed related parameters in menu 3. To allow headroom for overshoot etc.
[40000.0rpm] the maximum speed is twice the maximum speed reference.
SPEED_MAX = 2 x SPEED_FREQ_MAX
Maximum motor rated current
RATED_CURRENT_MAX ≤ 1.36 x Maximum Heavy Duty current rating (Pr 11.32)
RATED_CURRENT_MAX
The rated current can be increased above the rated drive current up to a level not exceeding 1.36 x Maximum
[9999.99A]
Heavy Duty current rating (Pr 11.32). The actual level varies from one drive size to another, please refer to
Table 11-4.
Maximum drive current
DRIVE_CURRENT_MAX
The maximum drive current is the current at the over current trip level and is given by:
[9999.99A]
DRIVE_CURRENT_MAX = Maximum Heavy Duty current rating (Pr 11.32) / 0.45

*Encoder phase angle (servo mode only)


The encoder phase angle in Pr 3.25 and Pr 21.20 is cloned
when using the SMARTCARD with drive software version
V01.05.00 onwards. This is useful when the SMARTCARD is
WARNING
used to backup the parameter set of a drive but caution
should be used if the SMARTCARD is used to transfer
parameter sets between drives.
Unless the encoder phase angle of the servo motor
connected to the destination drive is known to be the same
as the servo motor connected to the source drive, an
autotune should be performed or the encoder phase angle
should be entered manually into Pr 3.25 (or Pr 21.20).
If the encoder phase angle is incorrect the drive may lose
control of the motor resulting in an O.SPd or Enc10 trip when
the drive is enabled.

2. If the position controller mode (Pr 13.10) is changed. The position
controller is disabled transiently to reset the error integrator.
3. The absolute mode parameter (Pr 13.11) is changed. The position
controller is disabled transiently to reset the error integrator.
4. One of the position sources is invalid.
5. The position feedback initialised parameter (Pr 3.48) is zero.

The current rating of the line reactors should be as follows:
Continuous current rating:
Not less than the continuous input current rating of the drive
Repetitive peak current rating:
Not less than twice the continuous input current rating of the drive

drive. These fall into three categories:
Healthy Status Alarm Status Trip Status
• Trip indications
• Alarm indications Drive status
• Status indications = tripped
Trip type (UU
= undervolts)
Users must not attempt to repair a drive if it is faulty, nor
carry out fault diagnosis other than through the use of the
diagnostic features described in this chapter.
If a drive is faulty, it must be returned to an authorized
WARNING Control Techniques distributor for repair.
Figure 13-2 Location of the status LED
13.1 Trip indications
Status LED
If the drive trips, the output of the drive is disabled so that the drive stops
controlling the motor. The lower display indicates that a trip has occurred
and the upper display shows the trip.
Trips are listed alphabetically in Table 13-1 based on the trip indication
shown on the drive display. Refer to Figure 13-1.
If a display is not used, the drive LED Status indicator will flash if the
drive has tripped. Refer to Figure 13-2.
The trip indication can be read in Pr 10.20 providing a trip number. Trip
numbers are listed in numerical order in Table 13-2 so the trip indication
can be cross referenced and then diagnosed using Table 13-1.
Non flashing: Flashing:
NOTE N Normal status Trip status
Trips beginning with a number are given at the end of Table 13-1 where
the number is replaced with an X (1 ≤ X ≤ 8). The number indicates the
tripped module in a multi-module drive.

loAding
The drive is writing information to a Solutions Module.

13.4 Displaying the trip history


The drive retains a log of the last 10 trips that have occurred in Pr 10.20
to Pr 10.29 and the corresponding time for each trip in Pr 10.43 to Pr
10.51. The time of the trip is recorded from the powered-up clock (if Pr
6.28 = 0) or from the run time clock (if Pr 6.28 = 1).
Pr 10.20 is the most recent trip, or the current trip if the drive is in a trip
condition (with the time of the trip stored in Pr 10.43). Pr 10.29 is the
oldest trip (with the time of the trip stored in Pr 10.51). Each time a new
trip occurs, all the parameters move down one, such that the current trip
(and time) is stored in Pr 10.20 (and Pr 10.43) and the oldest trip (and
time) is lost out of the bottom of the log.
If any parameter between Pr 10.20 and Pr 10.29 inclusive is read by
serial communications, then the trip number in Table 13-1 Trip
indications on page 199 is the value transmitted.
