Menu 3 − Frequency Monitoring and Speed Feedback

The drive controls asynchronous machines in open loop control with respect to frequency and current. The open loop asynchronous control is further broken down into vector and fixed boost modes.

Final Demand Reference (03.001) shows the fundamental drive frequency demand from the Post Ramp Reference (02.001) and the Hard Frequency Reference (03.022) (if enabled).

If the Post Ramp Reference (02.001) is at or below the level defined by this parameter in either direction Zero Frequency (10.003) = 1, otherwise Zero Frequency (10.003) = 0.


Parameter03.006  At Frequency Lower Limit

At Frequency  (10.006) is set if the Post Ramp Reference (02.001) is on the boundaries or within the at speed window. Above Set Frequency  (10.007) and Below Set Frequency (10.005) are set if the reference is above or below the window respectively.

If Absolute At Frequency Select (03.009) = 0 reference window mode is used.
The "at speed" condition is true if,

(|Pre-ramp Reference (01.003)| - At Frequency Lower Limit (03.006)) ≤ |Post Ramp Reference (02.001)| ≤ (|Pre-ramp Reference (01.003)| + At Frequency Upper Limit (03.007))

(If the lower limit is less than zero then zero is used as the lower limit.)

If Absolute At Frequency Select (03.009) = 1 absolute window mode is used.
The "at speed" condition is true if,

At Frequency Lower Limit (03.006) ≤ |Post Ramp Reference (02.001)| ≤ At Frequency Upper Limit (03.007)

Note: All flags are cleared if Reference On (01.011) is 0.

If Over Frequency Threshold (03.008) is set to a non-zero value it defines the over frequency threshold. If the Post Ramp Reference (02.001) exceeds this threshold in either direction an  Over Speed trip is produced. If Over Frequency Threshold (03.008) is set to 0.00 the threshold is 1.2 times the variable maximum for the references which is normally the value of Maximum Speed (01.006) or M2 Maximum Speed (21.001), but see VM_SPEED_FREQ_REF[MAX] for a full definition.

The Hard Frequency Reference (03.022) is a reference value which does not pass through the ramp system, but is added directly to the Post Ramp Reference (02.001). The Hard Frequency Reference (03.022) is only added when selected by the Hard Frequency Reference Select (03.023) and Reference On (01.011) is active.

Defines the maximum frequency of the output for both frequency and PWM ouput modes as set by Digital I/O 01 mode (08.031). For frequency mode ( Digital I/O 01 mode (08.031) = 2 ) the choice of maximum output frequency depends on the requirement of the output. Due to limitations in the hardware, higher output frequencies do not offer the best resolution at the top end of the frequency range. The table below indicates the resolution at the programmed maximum frequency:

Motor speed percent (03.072) displays the Final Demand Reference (03.001) as a percentage of the reference clamp for the motor direction running. For forward direction the clamp used is either Maximum Speed (01.006) or M2 Maximum Speed (21.001). For reverse direction the clamp used is the modulas of  either Maximum Speed (01.006) or M2 Maximum Speed (21.001) if Negative Reference Clamp Enable (01.008) = 0, or the modulas of either Minimum Speed (01.007) or M2 Minimum Speed (21.002) if Negative Reference Clamp Enable (01.008) = 1.

Motor speed percent (03.072) = | Final Demand Reference (03.001) | x 100 / Reference Clamp used
