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, whilst 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, whilst smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polyethylene, 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.

1 Safety Information

1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes

A Warning contains information which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
WARNING
A Caution contains information which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
CAUTION
NOTE
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.

1.2 Electrical safety - general warning

The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this User Guide.
1.3 System design and safety of
personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete equipment or a system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltage and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards, either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety information and this User Guide carefully.
The STOP function of the drive does not remove dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external option unit.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which might result in a hazard, either through their intended functions or through incorrect operation due to a fault.
In any application where a malfunction of the drive could lead to damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk.
The STOP and START controls or electrical inputs of the drive must not be relied upon to ensure safety of personnel. If a safety hazard could exist from unexpected starting of the drive, an interlock that electrically isolates the drive from the AC supply must be installed to prevent the motor being inadvertently started.
To ensure mechanical safety, additional safety devices such as electro­mechanical interlocks and overspeed protection devices may be required. The drive must not be used in a safety critical application without additional high integrity protection against hazards arising from a malfunction.
Under certain conditions, the drive can suddenly discontinue control of the motor. If the load on the motor could cause the motor speed to be increased (e.g. in hoists and cranes), a separate method of braking and stopping must be used (e.g. a mechanical brake).

1.4 Environmental limits

Instructions in this User Guide regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the drive must be complied with, including the specified environmental limits. Drives must not be subjected to excessive physical force.

1.5 Compliance with regulations

The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection of fuses or other protection, and protective earth (ground) connections.
This User Guide contains instruction for achieving compliance with specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with the following directives:
98/37/EC: Safety of machinery. 89/336/EEC: Electromagnetic Compatibility.

1.6 Motor

Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed operation. If it is intended to use the capability of the drive to run a motor at speeds above its designed maximum, it is strongly recommended that the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less effective. The motor should be fitted with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent fan should be used.

1.7 Adjusting parameters

Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.

2.4.4 Unidrive REGEN
All sizes of Unidrive can be used in regen mode. However, Unidrive sizes 3 and 4 require an internal modification before being used in a regen system.
This modification is already completed if the drive has been ordered as a Unidrive REGEN.

2.5 Operating modes

All variants of Unidrive (except VTC) are designed to operate in any of the following modes:
1. Open loop mode V/f mode (V/ Hz) Open loop vector
2. Closed loop vector
3. Servo
4. Regen
Unidrive VTC can only operate in open loop quadratic V/f mode.
2.5.1 Open Loop mode (OL)
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 performance 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.
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 should used for multi-motor applications.
Typically 100% torque at 4Hz.
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 at 1Hz.
2.5.2 Closed loop vector mode (VT)
For use with induction motors with a speed 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.
Typically 175% torque at 0rpm.
2.5.3 Servo (SV)
For use with permanent magnet brushless motors with a speed and position 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. Flux control is not required because the motor is self excited by the permanent magnets which form part of the rotor.
Absolute position information is required from the feedback device to ensure the output voltage is accurately matched to the back EMF of the motor.
Typically 175% torque at 0rpm
2.5.4 Regen
For use as a regenerative front end for four quadrant operation.
Regen operation allows bi-directional power flow to and from the AC supply. This provides far greater efficiency levels in applications which would otherwise dissipate large amounts of energy in the form of heat in a braking resistor.
The harmonic content of the input current is negligible due to the sinusoidal nature of the waveform when compared to a conventional bridge rectifier or thyristor front end.
See the Regen Installation Guide for more information on this operating mode.
2.5.5 Key to operating mode abbreviations
Abbreviations are throughout this User Guide to define the operating mode for which the information applies as follows:

3 Mechanical Installation

This chapter describes how to use all mechanical features to install the drive. Key features of this chapter include:
Option module fitting
Mounting methods
Enclosure sizing and layout
Terminal location and torque settings

3.1 Safety information

Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be referred to
WARNING
WARNING

3.2 Planning the installation

The following considerations must be made when planning the installation:
3.2.1 Access
Access must be restricted to authorised personnel only. Safety regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
3.2.2 Environmental protection
The drive must be protected from:
moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and
contamination with electrically conductive material
contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or
temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
3.2.3 Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified operating temperature being exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one, and may need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
For further information, please refer to section 3.7.2 Enclosure sizing on page 24.
3.2.4 Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions. Electrical installation instructions are given in Chapter 4 Electrical Installation on page 37.
the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and any external option unit, and the way in which they are operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice in the country in which the equipment is used.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who are familiar with the requirements for safety and EMC. The assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end product or system complies with all the relevant laws in the country where it is to be used.
condensation. An anti-condensation heater may be required, which must be switched off when the drive is running.
impair airflow over various components
Optimisation Macros
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that electromagnetically sensitive equipment is located nearby, then full precautions must be observed. These will include the use of RFI filters at the drive inputs, which must be located very close to the drives. Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made for carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in section
4.8 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) on page 44.

3.3 Terminal cover removal

Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device before any cover is removed from
WARNING
WARNING
3.3.1 Removing the terminal covers
Unidrive sizes 1 to 4 and the size 5 control module are fitted with one or two terminal covers depending on the model size. When model sizes 1, 3 and 4 are through-panel mounted, the terminal cover(s) must first be removed in order for access to be gained to the lower mounting holes.
Figure 3-1 Removing the terminal covers
The terminal cover(s) of all models must be removed for access to the electrical connectors.
the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energised, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control Techniques or their authorised distributor.
3.2.5 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must be provided.
3.2.6 Electromagnetic compatibility
Variable speed drives are powerful electronic circuits which can cause electromagnetic interference if not installed correctly with careful attention to the layout of the wiring.
Some simple routine precautions can prevent disturbance to typical industrial control equipment.

2. If an RFI filter is to be used with each drive, add the dissipation figures from section 11.2.1 Ratings on page 197 for each RFI filter that is to be installed in the enclosure.
3. If the braking resistor is to be mounted inside the enclosure, add the average power figures for each braking resistor that is to be installed in the enclosure.
4. Calculate the total heat dissipation (in Watts) of any other equipment to be installed in the enclosure.
5. Add the heat dissipation figures obtained above. This gives a figure in Watts for the total heat that will be dissipated inside the enclosure.

Using a lower PWM switching frequency to reduce the dissipation in
the drives
Reducing the ambient temperature outside the enclosure, and/or
applying forced-air cooling to the outside of the enclosure
Reducing the number of drives in the enclosure
Removing other heat-generating equipment

3.8 Ventilation

Unidrive sizes 1-4 are ventilated by internally supplied heatsink fans. Ensure the minimum clearances around the drive are maintained to allow air to flow freely.
The Unidrive size 5 requires ventilation at the front (control) and rear (heatsink) of the module.
Two parallel independent paths must be provided as shown to ensure the heat produced is dispersed.
A heatsink fan is fitted as standard on request however this requires either a 110Vac or 240Vac external single phase power supply to be connected at the bottom left hand corner of the power module.
The choice of fan power supply must be made when ordering the power module.

Information
If a fan is not fitted internally, the air flow must be obtained by an external fan and ducting. The blanking plate at the lower end of the duct must be removed in order to expose the inlet port (see Figure 3-17).
The air supply must be obtained from outside the enclosure and the exhaust air must exit the enclosure. The maximum permissible heatsink
temperature is 95°C (203°F). Take the following precautions to help ensure this is not exceeded:
1. Ensure the temperature of the air at the inlet port of the heatsink does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
2. Ensure that the upward flow of the exhaust air from the top of the heatsink will be unobstructed. Fit additional ducting having the same cross-sectional area as the heatsink to extract all the exhaust air from the enclosure.
3. Ensure the volume of the exhaust air is not less than 1,000m
3
/min), equivalent airspeed 7m/s (23 ft/s). Measure the air-flow

to ensure it is adequate.
4. If the power module has a ventilation fan fitted in the heatsink, to ensure that a sufficient amount of air is available to supply the fan, locate the enclosure at least 300mm (12 in) from a wall or large object that will be behind the enclosure. Fit a duct between the rear panel of the enclosure and the inlet port at the rear of the heatsink. If the power module does not have an internal fan, a forced air-flow must be ducted into the inlet port at the bottom of the heatsink.
5. Ensure that the exhaust air is not recycled into the inlet port of the heatsink or into the enclosure.

Cooling the heatsink
When designing the cooling system, allow for the rear of the power module to produce 4kW of heat. This heat is dissipated in a heatsink that is inside a vertical duct at the rear of the power module. Forced air-flow is required through the duct in order to cool the heatsink.

Cooling the control components in the Size 5 power module
The circuit boards, DC-bus capacitors, etc., in the front part of the power module generate about 700W of heat when the power module is operating at full load. Since the heatsink fan does not ventilate these components, a separate air-flow must be used to remove the heat. The following precautions must be taken:
1. It is recommended that a fan is installed in the lower part of the enclosure door to drive air into the enclosure. An air vent should be added to the upper part of the door to remove the exhaust air.
2. It is recommended that the airflow is ducted into the front of the
drive. This airflow must be at least 400m air speed of 1m/s (3.3ft/s) through the front control section of the size 5 power module.
If the airflow is not ducted into the front of the drive, the airflow into
the enclosure must be at least 1000m speed of 7m/s (23ft/s) for a enclosure of 800mm x 800mm x 2200mm.
3. The maximum temperature of the air in the enclosure must not exceed 40°C (104°F).

3.9 Baffle plates

When a Unidrive size 1 to 4 is through-panel mounted, the fitting of a baffle plate causes the heatsink to act as a chimney; this enhances the air flow along the heatsink fins to aid cooling (this naturally occurs when the drive is surface mounted).
You may make a baffle plate from any suitable conducting or non­conducting material and attach it to the heatsink by the method described as follows.

3.13 Routine maintenance

The drive should be installed in a cool, clean, well ventilated location. Contact of moisture and dust with the drive should be prevented.
Regular checks of the following should be carried out to ensure drive / installation reliability is maximised:
Environment
Ambient temperature
Dust
Moisture
Enclosure
Enclosure door filters
Electrical
Screw connections Ensure all screw terminals remain tight
Crimp terminals
Cables Check all cables for signs of damage
Ensure the enclosure temperature remains at or below 40°C (50°C when derating applied)
Ensure the drive remains dust free – check that the drive fan is not gathering dust. The lifetime of the fan is reduced in dusty environments.
Ensure the drive enclosure shows no signs of condensation
Ensure filters are not blocked and that air is free to flow
Ensure all crimp terminals remains tight – check for any discolouration which could indicate overheating

4 Electrical Installation

This chapter describes the how to electrically install the drive. Key features include:
EMC compliance with shielding / grounding accessories
Product rating, fusing and cabling information
Brake resistor details (selection / ratings)
Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be lethal:
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
• AC supply cables and connections
• Output cables and connections
• Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive or any external option units.
Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energised, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control Techniques or their authorised distributor.

Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected to the AC supply by a plug
WARNING
and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to give safety isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the drive must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
Permanent-magnet motors
Permanent-magnet motors generate electrical power if they are rotated, even when the supply to the drive is
WARNING
disconnected. If that happens then the drive will become energised through its motor terminals. If the motor load is capable of rotating the motor when the supply is disconnected, then the motor must be isolated from the drive before gaining access to any live parts.
NOTE
N
Drives are suitable for use on supplies of installation category III and lower, according to IEC 60664-1. This means they may be connected permanently to the supply at its origin in a building, but for outdoor installation additional overvoltage suppression (transient voltage surge suppression) must be provided to reduce category IV to category III.

4.2.1 IT supplies
Special considerations are required when the neutral point of the distribution winding of the supply transformer is not directly grounded.
Before using the drive on such a supply, please contact the supplier of the drive.
4.2.2 Installation category
Drives are suitable for use on supplies of installation category III and lower, according to IEC60664-1. This means they may be connected permanently to the supply at its origin in a building, but for outdoor installation additional over-voltage suppression (transient voltage surge suppression) must be provided to reduce category IV to category III.
4.2.3 Supplies requiring line reactors
Input line reactors reduce the risk of damage to the drive resulting from poor phase balance or severe disturbances on the supply network.
Where line reactors are to be used, reactance values of approximately 2% are recommended. Higher values may be used if necessary, but may result in a loss of drive output (reduced torque at high speed) because of the voltage drop.
For all drive ratings, 2% line reactors permit drives to be used with a supply unbalance of up to 3.5% negative phase sequence (equivalent to 5% voltage imbalance between phases).
Severe disturbances may be caused by the following factors, for example:
Power factor correction equipment connected close to the drive.
Large DC drives having no or inadequate line reactors connected to the supply.
Direct-on-line started motor(s) connected to the supply such that when any of these motors are started, the voltage dip exceeds 20%
Such disturbances may cause excessive peak currents to flow in the input power circuit of the drive. This may cause nuisance tripping, or in extreme cases, failure of the drive.
Drives of low power rating may also be susceptible to disturbance when connected to supplies with a high rated capacity.
Line reactors are particularly recommended for use with the following drive models when one of the above factors exists, or when the supply capacity exceeds 175kVA:
UNI1201 UNI1202 UNI1203 UNI1204
UNI1401 UNI1402 UNI1403 UNI1404
Model sizes 1205, 1405 and larger have an internal DC choke so they do not require AC line reactors except for cases of excessive phase unbalance or extreme supply conditions.
When required, each drive must have its own reactor(s). Three individual reactors or a single three-phase reactor should be used.
Reactor current ratings
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
4.2.4 Input inductor calculation.
To calculate the inductance required (at Y%), use the following equation:
Y
V
-------
1
-----------
×=
2π fl
3
----------
L
100
×
Where:
I = drive rated input current (A) L = inductance (H) f = supply frequency (Hz) V = voltage between lines

4.3 Supplying the drive with DC / DC bus paralleling

The drive may be supplied with DC instead of 3 phase AC. For further information please refer to the supplier of your drive.
Connecting of the DC bus between several drives is typically used to:
1. Return energy from a drive which is being overhauled by the load to
a second motoring drive.
2. Allow the use of one braking resistor to dissipate regenerative
energy from several drives.
There are limitations to the combinations of drives which can be used in this configuration.
For application data, contact the supplier of the drive.

4.4 Ratings

The input current is affected by the supply voltage and impedance.
4.4.1 Typical input current
The values of typical input current are given to aid calculations for power flow and power loss.
The values of typical input current are stated for a balanced supply.
4.4.2 Maximum continuous input current
The values of maximum continuous input current are given to aid the selection of cables and fuses. These values are stated for the worst case condition with the unusual combination of stiff supply with bad balance. The value stated for the maximum continuous input current would only be seen in one of the input phases. The current in the other two phases would be significantly lower.
The values of maximum input current are stated for a supply with a 2% negative phase-sequence imbalance and rated at the maximum supply fault current given in Table 4-1.

The recommended cable sizes above are only a guide. Refer to local wiring regulations for the correct size of cables. In some cases a larger cable is required to avoid excessive voltage drop.
NOTE
N
UL listing is dependent on the use of the correct type of UL-listed fuse, and applies when symmetrical short-circuit current does not exceed 5kA for sizes 1 to 3, 10 kA for size 4 or 18kA for size 5.
Fuses
The AC supply to the drive must be fitted with suitable protection against overload and short-circuits. Table 4-1
WARNING
shows recommended fuse ratings. Failure to observe this requirement will cause risk of fire.
A fuse or other protection must be included in all live connections to the AC supply.
An MCB (miniature circuit breaker) or MCCB (moulded case circuit breaker) with type C tripping characteristics and the same rating as the fuse(s), may be used in place of the fuse(s), on condition that the fault current clearing capacity is sufficient for the installation.
4.4.3 Fuse Types
The fuse voltage rating must be suitable for the drive supply voltage.
Europe: Type gG HRC industrial fuses to IEC60269 (BS88)
USA: Class CC fuses up to 30A, Class J above 30A
4.4.4 Ground connections
The drive must be connected to the system ground of the AC supply.
The ground wiring must conform to local regulations and codes of practice.
The ground loop impedance must conform to the requirements of local safety regulations.The drive must be grounded by a connection capable of carrying the
WARNING
prospective fault current until the protective device (fuse, etc.) disconnects the AC supply.The ground connections must be inspected and tested at appropriate intervals.
4.4.5 Main AC supply contactor
The recommended AC supply contactor type for all sizes is AC1.

4.5 Output circuit and motor protection

The output circuit has fast-acting electronic short-circuit protection which limits the fault current to typically no more than five times the rated output current, and interrupts the current in approximately 20µs. No additional short-circuit protection devices are required.
The drive provides overload protection for the motor and its cable. For this to be effective, Pr 0.46 Motor rated current must be set to suit the motor.
Pr 0.46 Motor rated current must be set correctly to avoid a risk of fire in the event of motor overload.
WARNING
There is also provision for the use of a motor thermistor to prevent overheating of the motor, e.g. due to loss of cooling.
4.5.1 Cable types and lengths
Since capacitance in the motor cable causes loading on the output of the drive, ensure the cable length does not exceed the values given in Table 4-2 and Table 4-3.
Use 105°C (221°F) (UL 60/75°C temp rise) PVC-insulated cable with copper conductors having a suitable voltage rating, for the following power connections:
AC supply to external EMC filter (when used)
AC supply (or external EMC filter) to drive
Drive to motor
Drive to braking resistor

The maximum cable length is reduced from that shown in the table under the following conditions:
PWM switching frequency exceeding 3kHz in model sizes 3 and

High-capacitance cables
Most cables have an insulating jacket between the cores and the armour or shield; these cables have a low capacitance and are recommended. Cables that do not have an insulating jacket tend to have high capacitance; if a cable of this type is used, the maximum cable length is half that quoted in the table. (Figure 4-4 shows how to identify the two types.)

Cable lengths in excess of the specified values may be used only when special techniques are adopted; refer to the supplier of the drive.
The default switching frequency for all versions of Unidrive is 3kHz, except Unidrive LFT, which is 9kHz.
Normal capacitance
Shield or armour separated from the cores
High capacitance
Shield or armour close to the cores
The capacitance measured above is from one line to all others and is obtainable from the cable manufacturer. This means the capacitance from one core to all the other cores and the screen shorted together.
4.5.2 Multiple motors
Open-loop only
If the drive is to control more than one motor, make connections as shown in Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6. The maximum cable lengths given in Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 apply to the total length of cable from the drive to the farthest motor. It is recommended that each motor is connected through a protection relay since the drive cannot protect each motor individually. For star connection, a sinusoidal filter or an output inductor must be connected as shown in Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6, even when the cable lengths are less than the maximum permissible. For details, of inductor sizes refer to the supplier of the drive.

WARNING
A contactor is sometimes required to be fitted between the drive and motor for safety isolation purposes.
The recommended motor contactor is the AC3 type.
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 RFI noise emission
3. Increased contactor wear and tear

The voltage rating for star and delta connections of the motor should always be checked before attempting to run the motor.

4.6 Braking

Internal connection does not require the cable to be armoured or shielded.
In-built in the Unidrive software is overload protection for the brake resistor. In order to enable and set-up this function, it is necessary to enter two values into the drive:
Resistor short-time overload time (Pr 10.30)
Resistor minimum time between repeated short-time overloads (Pr
10.31)
This data is available from the manufacturer of the braking resistors.
4.6.1 Minimum resistances and power ratings
Table 4-4 Minimum resistance values and peak power rating for
The minimum resistance allows the braking resistor to dissipate up to approximately 150% of the power rating of the drive for up to 60 seconds. For high-inertia loads or under continuous braking, the continuous power dissipated in the braking resistor may be as high as the power rating of the drive. The total energy dissipated in the braking resistor is dependent on the amount of energy to be extracted from the load.

the motor
The instantaneous power rating refers to the short-term maximum power dissipated during the on intervals of the pulse width modulated braking control cycle. The braking resistor must be able to withstand this dissipation for short intervals (milliseconds). Higher resistance values require proportionately lower instantaneous power ratings.
In most applications, braking occurs only occasionally. This allows the continuous power rating of the braking resistor to be much lower than the power rating of the drive. It is essential, though, that the instantaneous power rating and energy rating of the braking resistor are sufficient for the most extreme braking duty that is likely to be encountered.
Optimisation of the braking resistor requires a careful consideration of the braking duty.
Select a value of resistance for the braking resistor that is not less than the specified minimum resistance. Larger resistance values may give a cost saving, as well as a safety benefit in the event of a fault in the braking system, however peak braking power is reduced. If the resistance is too high this could cause the drive to trip during braking.
Thermal protection circuit for the braking resistor
The thermal protection circuit must disconnect the AC supply from the drive if the resistor becomes overloaded. The thermal protection device can be either an external thermal overload device or an integrated temperature switch which is available from most braking resistor suppliers. A suitable thermal overload device is the LR2D from Telemecanique. Figure 4-7 shows a typical circuit arrangement.

4.7 Ground leakage

Unidrive sizes 1, 2 and 5 (including Unidrive REGEN size 3 and 4)
There is no direct connection with ground apart from the surge protection on the input of the drive. Ground leakage is therefore negligible.
Unidrive sizes 3 and 4 (400V product) except Unidrive REGEN
Ground leakage current is typically 9mA* (27mA with a Unidrive LFT with date code K08 onwards).
*9mA at 380V to 415V 50Hz AC supply; up to 14mA at 480V 60Hz AC supply. Measured by the method described in IEC950 Annex D.
Unidrive size 3 (200V product)
Ground leakage current is typically 5mA at 220V 50Hz.
When Unidrive sizes 3 and 4 are used the leakage current is high. In this case a permanent fixed ground connection must be provided, or other suitable measures taken to prevent a

4.7.1 Use of residual current device (RCD)
There are three common types of ELCB / RCD:
1. AC - detects AC fault currents
2. A - detects AC and pulsating DC fault currents (provided the DC current reaches zero at least once every half cycle)
3. B - detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC fault currents
Type AC should never be used with drives.
Type A can only be used with single phase drives
Type B must be used with three phase drives
Only type B ELCB / RCD are suitable for use with Unidrive.
WARNING
If an external RFI filter is used, a delay of at least 50ms should be incorporated to ensure spurious trips are not seen. The leakage current is likely to exceed the trip level if all of the phases are not energised simultaneously.

4.8 EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)

Compliance with EN61800-3 (standard for Power Drive Systems)
Meeting the requirements of this standard depends on the environment that the drive is intended to operate in, as follows:
Operation in the first environment
Observe the guidelines given in section 4.8.2 EMC - Compliance on page 48. An RFI filter will always be required. Some model sizes may require additional filtering techniques to be applied.
Operation in the second environment
An RFI filter is required for all Unidrives with a rated current of less than 100A. Where a filter is required follow the guidelines in section
4.8.2 EMC - Compliance on page 48. Where an RFI filter is not required
follow the guidelines given in section 4.8.1 EMC - General requirements .

The drive will comply with the standards for emission, such as EN50081­2, only when the instructions given in this chapter are followed closely.
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
The second environment typically includes an industrial low­voltage power supply network which does not supply buildings used for domestic purposes. Operating the drive in this environment without an RFI filter may cause interference to nearby electronic equipment whose sensitivity has not been appreciated. The user must take remedial measures if this situation arises. If the consequences of unexpected disturbances are severe, it is recommended that the emission limits of EN50081-2 be adhered to.

Feedback device cable shielding
Shielding considerations are important for PWM drive installations due to the high voltages and currents present in the output (motor) circuit with a very wide frequency spectrum, typically from 0 to 20 MHz.
The following guidance is divided into two parts:
1. Ensuring correct transfer of data without disturbance from electrical noise originating either within the drive or from outside.
2. Additional measures to prevent unwanted emission of radio frequency noise. These are optional and only required where the installation is subject to specific requirements for radio frequency emission control.
To ensure correct transfer of data, observe the following:
Resolver connections:
Use a cable with an overall shield and twisted pairs for the resolver signals
Connect the cable shield to the drive 0V connection by the shortest possible link ("pigtail")
It is generally preferable not to connect the cable shield to the resolver. However in cases where there is an exceptional level of common-mode noise voltage present on the resolver body, it may be helpful to connect the shield there. If this is done then it becomes essential to ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtails" at both shield connections, and possibly to clamp the cable shield directly to the resolver body and to the back plate, located as close as possible to the drive.
The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable, ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the shield connections at each interruption.
Encoder connections:
Use a cable with the correct impedance
Use a cable with individually shielded twisted pairs
Connect the cable shields to 0V at both the drive and the encoder, using the shortest possible links ("pigtails")
The cable should preferably not be interrupted. If interruptions are unavoidable, ensure the absolute minimum length of "pigtail" in the shield connections at each interruption. Preferably, use a connection method which provides substantial metallic clamps for the cable shield terminations.
The above applies where the encoder body is isolated from the motor and where the encoder circuit is isolated from the encoder body. Where there is no isolation between the encoder circuits and the motor body, and in case of doubt, the following additional requirement must be observed. This gives the best possible noise immunity.
The shields must be directly clamped to the encoder body (no pigtail) and to the back plate, located as close as possible to the drive. This may be achieved by clamping of the individual shields or by providing an additional overall shield which is clamped.
NOTE
The recommendations of the encoder manufacturer must also be adhered to for the encoder connections.
NOTE
In order to guarantee maximum noise immunity for any application double screened cable as shown should be used.
In some cases single shielding of each pair of differential signals cables or a single overall shield with an individual shield on the thermistor connections is sufficient. In these cases all the shields should be connected to ground and 0V at both ends.
If the 0V is required to be left floating a cable with individual shields and an overall shield must be used.
Figure 4-10 and Figure 4-11 illustrate the preferred construction of cable and the method of clamping. The outer sheath of the cable should be stripped back enough to allow the clamp to be fitted. The shield must not be broken or opened at this point. The clamps should be fitted close to the drive or feedback device, with the ground connections made to a ground plate or similar metallic ground surface.

1. Unshielded wiring to the optional braking resistor(s) may be used, provided the resistor is either in the same enclosure as the drive, or the wiring does not run external to the enclosure. When the braking resistor wiring is unshielded, ensure a minimum spacing of 300mm (12in) from signal wiring and the AC supply wiring to the RFI filter.
2. Ensure the AC supply and ground cables are at least the following distances from the power module as well as from the motor cable Size 1 to 4: 100mm (4in), Size 5: 150mm (6in)
3. Size 4 and 5 only: The AC supply cable must be shielded (screened) or steel­wire armoured. Bond the shield to the enclosure wall using standard cable-gland fixings.
4. Size 1 and 2: RFI filter mounted at the side of the drive. Ensure a separation of 5 to 10mm (0.2in to 0.4in) from the drive. Minimise the length of cables between the RFI filter and power module. Size 3 to 5: RFI filter mounted 150mm (6in) above the drive/power module. The RFI filter casing is directly grounded to the back-plate by the fixing screws.
5. Avoid placing sensitive signal circuits in a zone 300mm (12in) all around the power module.
6. Ensure chassis directly grounded to the back-plate using fixing screws. Screw threads tapped into the back-plate must be used to ensure that a direct electrical connection is made. An unpainted back-plate is required.
7. A shielded (screened) or steel-wire armoured cable must be used to connect the power module to the motor. The shield must be bonded to the back-plate using an uninsulated metal cable clamp. Position the clamp as close as possible to the drive/ power module. Size 1 and 2: The clamp must be positioned no further than 100mm (4in) from the drive. Size 3 and 4: The clamp must be positioned no further than 150mm (6in) from the drive. Size 5: It may be necessary to use a flat metal plate of a minimum width of 100mm (4in) as well as a clamp in order to make the connection. The clamp must be fitted so that: L1 < 150mm (6in) and (L1 + L2) < 450mm (18in)
8. Connect the shield of the motor cable to the ground terminal of the motor frame using a link that is as short as possible and not exceeding 50mm (2in) long. A full 360° termination of the shield to the terminal housing of the motor is beneficial.
9. Size 4 and 5 only Back-plate bonded to the enclosure wall using a short, low inductance connection. Two flat-braid cables of nominal size 12mm x 2.3mm (0.5in x 0.1in) are suitable, or a single braided-cable of equivalent dimensions.
10. Size 5 only Ensure that all power cables are at least 300mm (12in) from the ribbon cables that connect to the control module.

4.8.3 Variations in the EMC wiring
Control wiring
Control wiring which is connected to the drive and leaves the enclosure must have one of the following additional treatments:
Pass the control cable(s) through a ferrite ring (part number 3225-
1004). More than one cable can pass through a ferrite ring. Ensure the length of cable between the ferrite ring and the drive is not greater than 125mm (5 in).
Use one or more cables having a separate overall shield. Bond this shield(s) to the back-plate using an uninsulated metal clamp. Position the clamp not further than 100mm (4 in) from the drive. Do not make any other connections to either end of the overall shield.
Interruptions to the motor cable
The motor cable should ideally be a single piece of shielded or armoured cable having no interruptions. In some situations it may be necessary to interrupt the cable, as in the following examples:
Connecting the motor cable to a terminal block in the drive enclosure Fitting a motor isolator switch for safety when work is done on the motor
In these cases the following guidelines should be followed.
Terminal block in the enclosure
The motor cable shields should be bonded to the back-plate using uninsulated metal cable-clamps which should be positioned as close as possible to the terminal block. Keep the length of power conductors to a minimum and ensure that all sensitive equipment and circuits are at least 0.3m (12 in) away from the terminal block.
Figure 4-13 Connecting the motor cable to a terminal block in the
Using a motor isolator-switch
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 nearby, for example a large metallic structure which is connected closely to the drive ground.

Interruptions to the encoder cable
The screened cable should ideally not be interrupted throughout its run. If intermediate terminal arrangements are included with ‘pigtails’ for the screen connections, every pigtail will contribute additional injection of electrical noise into the signal circuit. They should therefore be kept as short as possible. If interruptions are unavoidable, either a suitable connector with surrounding screen shell should be used, or a low­inductance bar or plate should be used for the screen connection, similar to that shown in Figure 4-14.

4.11 Configuring a Unidrive size 5 system

The following must be performed in order to configure a Unidrive size 5 system:
Each power module must be given a unique address.
The control module must be notified of the number of power
modules it is to control.
The new settings must be saved in the control module software.
4.11.1 Configuring the power modules
To set the address on a power module, set the slide switch to the required address number, see Figure 4-19 for the position of the switch. Ensure that each power module in a multiple module system has its own unique address number. See Table 4-6 for example configuration settings.

4.11.3 Saving the configuration
When the drive is first powered-up, and the system contains more than one power module (or the number of power modules has been changed), the control module display will indicate as shown in Figure 4-
21.
Figure 4-21 Control module display
(The number displayed corresponds to the number power modules.)
A parameter save must be performed so that the drive will not trip next time the drive is powered up. To perform a save refer to section

NOTE
For new parameter-values to apply after the AC supply to the drive is interrupted, new values must be saved. Refer to section 5.8 Saving parameters on page 61.

5.3 Menu structure

The drive parameter structure consists of menus of parameters.
The drive initially powers up so that only menu 0 can be viewed. The up and down arrow buttons are used to navigate between parameters and once standard security has been cleared, the left and right buttons are used to navigate between menus.
* can only be used to move between menus if standard security has been opened. For further information, refer to section
5.10 Parameter security on page 62.
The menus and parameters roll over in both directions.
i.e. if the last parameter is displayed, a further press will cause the display to rollover and show the first parameter.
When changing between menus the drive remembers which parameter was last viewed in a particular menu and thus displays that parameter.

5.11 Serial Communications

5.11.1 Introduction
The Unidrive has an optional serial communications interface in the form of the UD71 serial communications module. This module has a fully optically isolated 4 wire or 2 wire EIA485 interface and an EIA232 interface. (The EIA232 interface should be used for commissioning purposes only.)
5.11.2 Serial communications module hardware connections
See Figure 3-5 on page 15 for information regarding installing the UD71 serial communications large option module in the drive.

* Pins 2 and 3, and pins 6 and 7 must be connected together in 2 wire EIA485 mode.
** Depending on the host software being used, it may only be necessary to connect pins 2, 3 and 5 when using the EIA232 interface.
When connecting EIA232 interface on the UD71 serial communications module to the 9 pin serial port on a PC, a 9 pin male D-type to 9 pin female D-type serial extension cable can be used.

Note
For the drive to operate correctly during and after synchronisation, Pr
0.07 Voltage mode selector must be set at Fd.
The drive starts a sequence of operations at one quarter of the rated motor voltage in order to detect the frequency associated with the speed of the motor. The sequence is stopped when the motor frequency is detected. The stages in the sequence are as follows:
1. The frequency of the drive is set at maximum (the value of Pr 0.02) in the direction that the motor was last driven. (If the AC supply to the drive was interrupted before an attempt is made to synchronise to a spinning motor, the drive always starts in the forward direction.)
2. The frequency is reduced to zero. If the motor frequency is detected during the reduction in drive frequency, the test is stopped. The drive frequency is set at the detected motor frequency and the drive takes control of the motor.
3. If the motor frequency is not detected, the drive is set at maximum frequency in the opposite direction, and the test is repeated.
4. If the motor frequency is still not detected, the drive frequency is set at 0Hz, and the drive takes control of the motor.
Closed-loop
Pr 0.39 is set at 1 by default. The value of Pr 0.12 Post-ramp reference is automatically set at the value of speed feedback. The drive then takes control of the motor.
When Pr 0.39 is set at 0, the motor will be decelerated under current limit until the motor speed meets the value of Pr 0.12 Post-ramp reference.
For more information, see section 10.22 Advanced Features on page 182.

The Unidrive LFT default switching frequency is 9kHz, however, a limited duty cycle applies. See Figure 2-3 Standard S4/S5 duty cycle (Unidrive LFT) on page 10.

If the switching frequency is increased from the default value, the power loss inside the drive is increased. The drive ensures the losses remain within acceptable levels by the use of an intelligent thermal model.
Intelligent thermal modelling in the drive effectively monitors the junction temperature of the IGBTs in the power stage. When the junction temperature is calculated to reach the maximum permissible value, two levels of protection occur, as follows:
1. When a PWM switching frequency of 6kHz, 9kHz or 12kHz is selected, the PWM switching frequency is automatically halved. This reduces switching losses in the IGBTs. (The value of parameter Pr
0.41 PWM switching frequency remains at the value set by the user.) Then at one-second intervals, the drive will attempt to return the PWM switching frequency to the original value. This will be successful when the thermal modelling has calculated that the temperature has reduced sufficiently.
2. If the junction temperature continues to rise (due to the output current) after the PWM switching frequency has been halved, and the temperature reaches the maximum permissible value, the drive will trip. The display will indicate trip code Oh1.
If the drive is required to run at a high load continuously with an elevated switching frequency, derating must be applied. Please see Table 11­1 Unidrive and Unidrive VTC drive current ratings on page 190.

Normally the DC bus voltage will be approximately the rms supply voltage x √2.

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 to ensure the current limits in the drive function at the correct levels so that the motor is protected should an overload situation occur.
Pr 0.42 {5.11} Motor number of poles Defines the number of motor poles
The motor number of poles parameter defines the speed displayed by the drive for a given output frequency.
i.e. 4 pole motor 50 Hz = 1,500 rpm
2 pole motor 50 Hz = 3,000 rpm
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 voltage and frequency parameters define the relationship between the voltage and frequency applied to the motor as shown aside:
The volts / frequency ratio must be kept constant to ensure rated torque is available from the motor over the frequency range. At low frequencies (from 0 Hz to ½ x Pr 5.06) the voltage is increased from this characteristic by a level governed by either the voltage boost parameter or the motor parameters (found during the stator resistance test) depending on whether the drive is in fixed boost or open loop vector mode as shown aside:

Pr 0.07 {5.14} Voltage mode
The voltage mode selects whether the drive is in open loop vector mode or fixed boost.
Fixed boost (Fd) should be used for fans and pumps and multiple motor applications.
Open loop vector is the default setting and should be used to tune the drive to the motor characteristic to get good performance at low output frequencies.
Open loop vector mode requires the stator resistance and voltage offset parameters for ideal operation.
These can be measured by the drive depending on the voltage mode selected as follows:
Ur_I = Stator resistance and voltage offset are measured on power up providing no trip condition is present and the drive enable (terminal 30) signal is active.
Ur_S = Stator resistance and voltage offset are measured every time the run command is activated. This mode ensures the drive compensates for any change in the motor parameters due to temperature changes.
Ur = No test is performed - a test should be carried out using one of the other modes or the stator resistance entered manually. (The voltage offset cannot be entered manually as this is also a function of the drive.) This mode should be used where it is not desirable for the drive to test the motor on power up or before a run.
The stator resistance and voltage offset values can be viewed in Pr 5.17 and Pr 5.23 respectively.
Pr 0.40 {5.12} Autotune
The motor must be disconnected from any load including the gearbox before commencing an autotune.
Once the test is enabled the drive runs the motor to two thirds base speed and measures the no load current which equals the magnetising current. From the no load current and the motor rated current the drive then calculates the power factor.
Pr 5.27 Slip compensation and Pr 0.45 {5.08} Motor rated speed
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 aside:
In order to prevent the speed droop shown above slip compensation should be enabled.
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 {5.08}. to enable slip compensation. The motor rated speed parameter should be set to the synchronous speed of the motor minus the slip speed. This is often displayed on the motor nameplate.
i.e. For a typical 18.5 kW, 50 Hz, 4 pole motor the motor rated speed is
Demanded speed
Shaft speed
1465 rpm
The synchronous speed for a 4 pole motor is 1500 rpm therefore the slip speed is 35 rpm
If the synchronous speed is entered slip compensation will have no effect.
If too small a value is entered the motor will run faster than the
L
demanded frequency.
Synchronous speeds for different numbers of poles are as follows:
2 pole = 3,000 rpm 4 pole = 1,500 rpm 6 pole = 1,000 rpm 8 pole = 750 rpm

The motor rated speed parameter should be set to the synchronous speed of the motor minus the slip speed.
This is often displayed on the motor nameplate. I.e. For a typical 18.5 kW, 50 Hz, 4 pole motor the motor rated speed is 1465 rpm
The synchronous speed for a 4 pole motor is 1500 rpm therefore the slip speed is 35 rpm
Synchronous speeds for different numbers of poles are as follows:
2 pole = 3,000 rpm 4 pole = 1,500 rpm 6 pole = 1,000 rpm 8 pole = 750 rpm
The accuracy of this parameter is very important as it directly affects the torque produced at the shaft.
Often the value given on the motor nameplate is not 100% accurate which can lead to a loss of torque.
The parameter can be tuned by the drive using the slip optimiser - please see the description which follows.

Pr 0.40 {5.12} Autotune
The motor must be stationary and disconnected from any load (including the gearbox) before commencing an autotune.
The test is completed in three stages as follows:
1. Motor leakage inductance (Pr 5.24) Before the motor rotates the leakage inductance is measured. This is
L = ?
S
required for the slip optimiser to work correctly.
2. Power factor (Pr 0.43 / 5.10) The motor runs up to two thirds base speed and the no load current is measured. This equals the magnetising current which in
cos = ?
conjunction with the motor rated current value allows the power factor to be calculated.
3. Saturation characteristic (Pr 5.29 / 5.30) The drive continues to turn the motor and while doing so gradually reduces the magnetising current to determine the relationship between magnetising current and motor flux for the specific motor being controlled.
T
Nm
= ?
The saturation characteristic sets the levels at which the magnetising current is controlled during operation above base speed (field
N rpm
weakening).
Pr 5.27 Slip optimisation
Slip optimisation is used as follows:
1. To optimise the motor rated speed parameter from the motor nameplate value to the best value for the individual motor on a one off basis during commissioning.
2. To constantly monitor and optimise the motor rated speed during normal operation to compensate for changes in motor temperature which can have a significant effect on rotor resistance and thus rated speed.
The following conditions must apply for the slip optimiser to function correctly:
As detailed above in the autotune section the motor leakage inductance (Pr 5.24) is required for this feature to function correctly. An autotune should be carried out before enabling the slip optimiser.

/8 x rated speed.
Slip optimisation can only be used at or below base speed. If field weakening operation is required the optimiser should be enabled during commissioning only then disabled for high speed operation.

Pr 3.10 / 3.11 / 3.12 Speed loop gains
The speed loop gains control the response of the speed loop to a change in speed demand.
The default values give satisfactory performance for most applications however for optimal performance in dynamic applications the values may require tuning for the specific motor.
Inappropriate values entered in these parameters can cause the control system to become unstable.
The proportional gain (Pr 3.10) responds proportionally to the difference between the demanded value and the actual value (the error).
The integral gain (Pr 3.11) responds proportionally to the accumulation of the error. It is used to eliminate steady state error and under dynamic conditions provide stiffness to the system.
The derivative gain (Pr 3.12) is proportional to the rate of change of the error. It improves the stability of the system under transient conditions.
The speed loop gains can be tuned by either:
1. Using an oscilloscope and the method described below or
2. The gain calculator wizard in Unisoft version 3.43, which requires the following:
• motor inertia
• load inertia (reflected through the gear box if used)
• stiffness / compliance angle (user defined deflection of the motor shaft when full torque is applied)
• drive rated current
• motor nameplate details
Tuning the speed loop gains using an oscilloscope
Connect the 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 should be set up initially - the value should be
Speed demand
increased up to the point where the speed overshoots and then reduced slightly.
The integral term should then be increased up to the point where the speed becomes unstable and then reduced slightly.
If a derivative gain is required the value should be increased up to the
Insufficient proportional gain [0.07]
point where the system response 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 shown below.
Excessive proportional gain [0.07]
The diagram below shows the effect of incorrect P and I gain settings as well as the ideal response.
If the speed loop I gain (Pr 3.11) is set to zero and later increased, a large output transient will result causing the

drive to accelerate under full current.
WARNING
The over speed trip threshold (Pr 3.08) must be set to a suitable level to prevent the output from reaching a level where mechanical damage could result.

8.1.3 Servo 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 to ensure the current limits in the drive function at the correct levels so that the motor is protected should an overload situation occur.
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.
Pr 0.40 {3.25} Autotune
The motor should be stationary and disconnected from any load (including the gearbox) before commencing an autotune.
The test rotates the motor by less than a revolution. The exact distance depends on the number of motor poles.
The autotune measures the offset between the feedback device zero and the rotor zero. This is required so that the voltage applied is in phase with the back EMF from the motor.
If the value entered is incorrect the drive will not control the motor correctly.
The result can be:
1. loss of torque
2. excessive heating of the motor
3. in extreme cases the motor can run out of control to maximum speed
If the load cannot be removed and it is solely an inertia a high current autotune can be enabled.
Set Pr 5.27 = 1 prior to enabling the autotune.

8.2 Current limits

The default setting for the current limit parameters are 150% x motor rated current for open loop and closed loop vector modes and 175%* x motor rated current for servo mode. *150% for Unidrive size 5.
There are three parameters which control the current limits:
•Pr 4.05 Motoring current limit: power flowing from the drive to the motor
•Pr 4.06 Regen current limit: power flowing from the motor to the drive
•Pr 4.07 Symmetrical current limit: current limit for both motoring and regen operation
The lowest of either the motoring and regen current limit or the symmetrical current limit applies.
Excessive integral gain [0.08]
Ideal response
The maximum setting of these parameters depends on the ratio of motor rated current to drive rated current and the power factor.
The drive can be oversized to permit a higher current limit setting to provide higher accelerating torque as required up to a maximum of 400%.
Please note that too high a setting of these parameters can cause permanent damage to a servo motor by demagnetising the rotor.
The maximum current limits (I
%) available for each mode of
MAX
operation, are calculated from the following equations.

8.3 Motor thermal protection

The Unidrive models the temperature of the motor using the motor rated current parameter, the thermal time constant parameter and the actual current flowing at any point in time.
An accumulator (Pr 4.19) increments or decrements based on the current flowing in the motor.
If the motor runs for a given time at a level below the rated current of the motor the accumulator will settle at a value equivalent to the motor temperature.
An it.ac trip instantaneously occurs if the accumulator reaches 100%. This can only occur if the rms current flowing is greater than 105%. or if a current peak lasts for enough time to cause the accumulator to peak at or above this level.
The default setting of the thermal time constant (Pr 4.15) is 89s for an induction motor (open loop and closed loop vector) which is equivalent to an overload of 150% for 60s from cold.
The default value for a servo motor is 7s which is equivalent to an overload of 175% for 4s from cold.
The maximum value for the thermal time constant can be increased up to a maximum value of 400s to allow an increased overload if the motor thermal characteristics permit.
For applications using CT Dynamics Unimotors the thermal time constants can be found in the Unimotor manual.

8.4 Switching frequency

The default switching frequency for the drive is 3kHz however this can be increased up to a maximum value of 12kHz.
If the switching frequency is increased the following apply:
1. Increased heat loss in the drive which means that derating to the
output current must be applied. See the derating table for switching frequency and ambient temperature in the Chapter 11 Technical Data on page 190.
2. Reduced heating of the motor - due to improved output waveform
quality
3. Increased sample rate on the speed and current controllers

8.5 High speed operation

8.5.1 Encoder feedback limits
In the closed loop modes when using encoder feedback the maximum speed of the drive is limited by the maximum frequency limit of the encoder input as follows:
Encoder PPR Maximum Speed (rpm)
up to 5,000 3,000
up to 2,500 6,000
up to 1,250 12,000
up to 625 24,000
up to 312 30,000
8.5.2 Field weakening (constant power) operation
(Open loop and closed loop vector mode only)
The Unidrive can be used to run an induction machine above synchronous speed into the constant power region. The speed continues to increase and the available shaft torque reduces.
The characteristics below show the torque and output voltage characteristics as the speed is increased above the rated value.

8.5.3 Saturation breakpoints
The saturation breakpoint parameters (Pr 5.29 and Pr 5.30) found during the autotune in closed loop vector mode ensure the magnetising current is reduced in the correct proportion for the specific motor.
(In open loop mode the magnetising current is not actively controlled)
8.5.4 Switching frequency
With a default switching frequency of 3 kHz the maximum output frequency should be limited to 250 Hz. Ideally a minimum ratio of 12 : 1 should be maintained between the output frequency and the switching frequency. This ensures the number of switchings per cycle is sufficient to ensure the output waveform quality is maintained at a minimum level.
If this is not possible, quasi square switching should be enabled (Pr 5.20 =1). The output waveform will be quasi square above base speed however this also ensures a symmetrical output waveform which results in a better quality output than would otherwise result.
8.5.5 Output frequency doubling
(Open loop only)
If this bit is set the motor output frequency is twice the displayed value. The maximum open loop output frequency increases from 1,000Hz to 2,000Hz.
The following parameters need to be re-scaled when this mode of operation is used.
For example:-
The real machine is 4 pole, 2,000Hz, 400V, 60,000 rpm, full load speed 58,000 rpm, and the desired maximum speed is 40,000 rpm with a trip at 50,000 rpm. Acceleration is to be 500Hz / sec.
Menu 1:
maximum frequency (Pr 1.06) should be set to:
0.5 x 2,000 x 40,000 / 60,000 = 667Hz
Menu 2:
the ramp times (Pr 2.11 to 2.29) need to be set at:
0.5 x 0.2 sec per 100Hz = 0.1
Menu 3:
the over-speed trip threshold (Pr 3.08) should be set at
0.5 x 2,000 x 50,000 / 60,000 = 833Hz
Menu 5:
the rated motor voltage (Pr 5.09) = 400V
the rated frequency (Pr 5.06) = 0.5 x 2,000 = 1,000Hz
the full load speed is (Pr 5.08) = 0.5 x 58,000 = 29,000rpm
the motor poles (Pr 5.11) = 4 POLE
Extreme caution should be exercised when setting this bit as the actual machine speed will be double that indicated.

8.5.6 Maximum speed / frequency
In open loop mode the maximum frequency is 2,000 Hz when output frequency doubling is used (500 Hz for Unidrive VTC).
In closed loop vector mode the maximum output frequency should be limited to 400 Hz.
In servo mode field weakening is not possible so the maximum speed is limited by the voltage constant (K
) of the motor. Ke is a specific constant
e
for the servo motor being used. It can normally be found on the motor data sheet in V/krpm (volts per 1,000rpm).
