Setup of an unknown motor

Even without known motor and feedback data the drive can be configured. Set the parameters and functions in the terminal screen (commands are presented in italic font).

Steps 1...8: Without load (Motor shaft must be accessible)

Description

1

Brake / no brake

Is it possible to turn the motor shaft manually (without gearbox or load)?

=> No: check if brake cable is connected to the servo amplifier

MBRAKE 1

=> Ja: MBRAKE 0

2

Direction of Feedback

Open the Feedback Screen

Turn the motor shaft clockwise with hand. (look to the front of the axis)

Pointer rotate clockwise => OK

Pointer rotate unclockwise => Change two signal wires of the feedback (SIN+ and SIN-).

3

Resolver pole pairs / Encoder Enclines

Open the Feedback Screen

Turn the motor clockwise with hand. (look to the front of the axis)

Check: One rotation of the motor shaft = one rotation of the pointer

Yes => OK

No => change MRESPOLES for Resolver / ENCLINES for Encoder and check again

The motor shaft takes a preferential position. Turn the motor shaft manually. Count the steps (x=steps/turn) within one turn, every step is one pole pair.

Commutation angle

Danger! Don't touch the motor shaft!

With the Zero command the offset angle is measured.

Clockwise => OK
Counterclockwise => change two motor wires (U2<->V2).

Smith Predictor

Measure the phase-to-phase resistor (x in Ohm) and inductance (y in mH) values for the motor or take the values from the motor label.

Steps 9...14: With load

 

The motor shaft will rotate, the load will be moved! Risk of injury.

  • Remove everything from the motion traverse.
  • Don't touch the load when you proceed.

Asynchron machine - V/f Control

Simple Sensorless Control for Induction Machines (Constant V/f Feed Forward Control). Hints for setup can be found in the KDN.

DC Motor Setup

Direct current drives need special adjustments and connections for the operation at the servoamplifier, due to their constructive differences. The servoamplifiers require special adjustments and wiring to run a DC motor (with brushes) due to construction differences of a DC motor.

Hints for setup can be found in the KDN.
