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 must not be discarded but should
instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products easy to dismantle
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 fasteners. 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 prefers 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.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals (REACH) requires
the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified proportion of any substance which is
considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is
therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory authorisation.

Commander SK
The Commander SK is an open loop vector AC variable speed inverter drive used to control the speed of an AC induction motor. The drive uses an
open loop vector control strategy to maintain almost constant flux in the motor by dynamically adjusting the motor voltage according to the load on the
motor.
The AC supply is rectified through a bridge rectifier and then smoothed across high voltage capacitors to produce a constant voltage DC bus. The DC
bus is then switched through an IGBT bridge to produce AC at a variable voltage and a variable frequency. This AC output is synthesized by a pattern
of on-off switching applied to the gates of the IGBTs. This method of switching the IGBTs is known as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
Software structure
For the majority of applications, the Commander SK's keypad and display can be used to set up the drive through 'menu 0'. Menu 0 is structured to
give an extreme ease of set-up for a simple drive but with the flexibility for more demanding applications. See the Commander SK Getting Started Guide for details.
For applications that require extra functionality, the advanced parameters from menu 1 through to menu 21 can be used. These advanced parameters
can be programmed and adjusted using the drives keypad and display or by using CTSoft. Also, the optional LED or LCD keypads can be used to
monitor and adjust parameters.
Options
To further enhance the functionality of the Commander SK, a number of Solutions Modules, SmartStick copying option and a LogicStick PLC ladder
logic option are also available. Details of these can be found on the CD supplied with the Commander SK or at www.controltechniques.com

2.1 Saving parameters
When parameters are saved, all user save (US) parameters are saved to EEPROM within the drive. Normally Pr x.00 (not Pr 0.00) is set to 1000 and
a reset command is given to initiate a parameter save. This can be achieved on the drive by setting Pr 71 to 1.00, then setting Pr 61 to 1000 and a
reset command to activate a parameter save. When parameter save is complete, Pr x.00 is reset to zero by the drive. The drive must not be in the
under voltage (UU) condition for a save to take place. Saving parameters can take between 400ms and several seconds depending on the number of
parameter values that are different from the values already saved in EEPROM. If the power is removed from the drive during a parameter save, it is
possible for the EEPROM data to be corrupted giving an EEF failure when the drive is next powered up.
2.2 Loading default parameters
When default parameters are loaded, the new default parameter set is automatically saved to the drive EEPROM.
See Pr 29 in the Commander SK Getting Started Guide or Pr 11.4 3 in this Advanced User Guide.

The values given in square brackets indicate the maximum value allowed for the variable maximum. The term 'rated drive current' is the value used
by the software as rated current, which is not always the same as the drive rating specified in Pr 11.32 (see section 10.5 Menu 4: Current control ).
Maximum frequency reference
FREQ_MAX = Pr 1.06
(If the second motor map is selected Pr 21.01 is used instead of Pr 1.06)
Maximum motor rated current
RATED_CURRENT_MAX ≤ 1.36 x Rated drive current
On drives that offer dual rating, the rated current can be increased above the rated drive current up to a
level not exceeding 1.36 x drive rated current. The actual level varies from one drive size to another.
Maximum drive current
The maximum drive current is the current at the over current trip level and is given by:
DRIVE_CURRENT_MAX = rated drive current x 2
Maximum current limit settings for motor map 1
This maximum current limit setting is the maximum applied to the current limit parameters in motor map
1. See introduction to section 10.5 Menu 4: Current control for the definition.
Maximum current limit settings for motor map 2
This maximum current limit setting is the maximum applied to the current limit parameters in motor map
2. See introduction to section 10.5 Menu 4: Current control for the definition.
Maximum torque producing current
This is used as a maximum for torque and torque producing current parameters. It is
MOTOR1_CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX or MOTOR2_CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX depending on which motor
map is currently active.
Current parameter limit selected by the user
The user can select a maximum for Pr 4.08 (torque reference) and Pr 4.20 (percentage load) to give
suitable scaling for analog I/O with Pr 4.24. This maximum is subject to a limit of
CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX.
USER_CURRENT_MAX = Pr 4.24
Maximum output voltage set-point
Defines the maximum motor voltage that can be selected.
This maximum has been chosen to allow for maximum AC voltage that can be produced by the drive
including trapizoidal operation:
AC_VOLTAGE_MAX = 0.7446 x DC_VOLTAGE_MAX
The maximum power has been chosen to allow for the maximum power that can be output by the drive
with maximum AC output voltage, maximum controlled current and unity power factor. Therefore
POWER_MAX = √3 x AC_VOLTAGE_MAX x RATED_CURRENT_MAX x 2

3.2 Parameter information
3.2.1 Parameter x.00
Pr x.00 (not Pr 0.00) in every menu is used for storing parameters. The range of this parameter is 4000 and the special codes used are as follows:
1000Save parameters
1070Option reset
3.2.2 Parameter types
There are two fundamental types of parameters in the drive, read only (RO) and read/write (RW). The read only parameters cannot be changed by
the user and are there to give the user useful information about the state of the drive. Read/write parameters are for the user to set up the way in
which the drive operates.
Parameters can be further broken down into Bit parameters and Non-bit parameters. Bit parameters are two state only (0 or 1) and if RW are used as
switches or two state input variables to the drive logic, or if RO indicate various drive conditions which are either true (1) or false (0). Non-bit
parameters have more than two values the range of each being given in the following descriptions.
In the basic parameter set, some parameters are represented as strings rather than numeric values which give a more informative indication of the
parameter setting.
Since the parameters in the basic parameter set are copies of extended parameters, the strings are indicated as well as the numeric value. Setting-up
via the serial interface requires numeric data.
Most parameters when being adjusted take immediate effect, but destination and source parameters do not. Using these parameter values while they
are being adjusted could cause a malfunction in the operation of the drive if an intermediary value were taken during the adjustment. For the new
value of one of these parameters to take effect a 'Drive Reset' must be carried out (see section 3.2.4 Drive reset ).
Any changes made to parameters over the serial interface are not stored in the drives EEPROM until a manual store is initiated.
3.2.3 32 bit parameters
Menu32 bit parameters
Menu 4Pr 4.01Pr 4.02Pr 4.17
Menu 20
Menu 20 parameters cannot be displayed on the drive's LED display. Source and destination parameters cannot be set to 32 bit parameters.
Parameters Pr 4.01, Pr 4.02 and Pr 4.17 are special cases and can be used as a source.All routing within the drive is 16 bit.
If a counter in SyPTLite has a 32 bit output and this output is routed to a drive parameter, for example Pr 1.21, when the count reaches the set range
of Pr 1.21, the value in Pr 1.21 will be frozen until the counter value is reset or falls below the set range.
3.2.4 Drive reset
A drive reset is required for a number of reasons:
•To reset the drive from a tripped state
•To initiate loading of default parameters
•To implement a change in the value of certain parameters
•To initiate the saving of parameters in EEPROM
The later two of these can be done while the drive is running.
The drive can be reset in one of four ways:
1. The drive will be reset with a 0 to 1 transition of the enable input when the drive is tripped, such that a dedicated reset terminal is not required.
2. The drive will be reset when a 0 to 1 transition of the Drive Reset parameter Pr 10.33. This parameter is provided for control by a programmable
digital input such that a terminal can be used to reset the drive.
3. The Stop/Reset key. If the drive is not in keypad mode and the 'always stop' parameter is not set, then the key has a drive reset function only. In
keypad mode or if the 'always stop' parameter is set, a drive reset can be done while the drive is running by holding the Run key while the Stop/
Reset key is activated. When the drive is not running the Stop/Reset key will always reset the drive.
4. By the serial interface. This drive reset is triggered by a value of 100 being written to the User trip parameter Pr 10.38.
3.2.5 Storing drive parameters
When the keypad is used to edit a parameter, the parameter is stored when the mode key is pressed after adjustment has been made.
When using the serial interface, parameters are stored by setting Pr x.00 (not Pr 0.00) to a value of 1000 and performing a 'Drive reset'. Because a
'Drive reset' causes the values of certain parameters to be implemented, storing parameters has the effect of implementing all new values as the
store takes place.

viewing.
No default: when defaults are loaded (except when the drive is manufactured or on EEPROM failure) this parameter is not
modified.
Rating dependant: this parameter is likely to have different values and ranges with drives of different voltage and current ratings.
These parameters are not transferred by the SmartStick when the rating of the destination drive is different from the source drive.
Bit default one/unsigned: Bit parameters with this flag set to one have a default of one (all other bit parameters have a default of
zero. Non-bit parameters are unipolar if this flag is one.
3.3.2 Term definitions
Range
This gives the range of the parameter and the values it can be adjusted to.
Default
The default values given are the standard drive defaults.
Second motor parameter
Some parameters have an equivalent second motor map value that can be used as an alternative when a second motor is selected with Pr 11.4 5.
Menu 21 contains all the second motor map parameters.
Update rate
Defines the rate at which the parameter data is written by the drive or read and acted upon by the drive. Where background update rate is specified,
the update time depends on the drive processor load. Generally the update time is between 10ms and 100ms, however, the update time is
significantly extended when loading defaults, transferring data to/from a SmartStick, or transferring blocks of parameters to/from the drive via the drive
serial communications port.

3.4 Sources and destinations
3.4.1 Sources
Some functions have source parameters, i.e. drive outputs, PID controller etc. The source parameter range is Pr 0.00 to Pr 21.51.
1. If the source parameter does not exist the input is taken as zero.
2. The input is given by (source value x 100%) / source parameter maximum.
3.4.2 Destinations
Some functions have destination parameters, i.e. drive inputs, etc. The destination parameter range is Pr 0.00 to Pr 21.51.
1. If the destination parameter does not exist then the output value has no effect.
2. If the destination parameter is protected then the output value has no effect.
3. If the function output is a bit value (i.e. a digital input) the destination value is either 0 or 1 depending on the state of the function output. If the
function output is not a bit value (i.e. analog input) the destination value is given by (function output x destination parameter maximum) / 100%
rounded down. Pr 1.36 and Pr 1.37 are a special case. The scaling shown in the description of Pr 1.10 is used when any non-bit type quantity is
routed to these parameters.
4. If more than one destination selector is routed to the same destination, the value of the destination parameter is undefined. The drive checks for
this condition where the destinations are defined in any menu except menu 15. If a conflict occurs a dESt trip occurs that cannot be reset until the
conflict is resolved.
Setting a source or destination parameter to Pr 0.00 will disable the parameter.
3.4.3 Sources and destinations
1. Bit and non-bit parameters may be connected to each other as sources or destinations. The maximum for bit parameters is taken as one.
2. All new source and destination routing only changes to new set-up locations when the drive is reset.
3. When a destination is changed, the old destination is written to zero, unless the destination change is the result of loading defaults or transferring
parameters from a SmartStick. When defaults are loaded the old destination is set to its default value.
4. Cannot select any of the 32 bit parameters.
3.4.4 Parameters actioned on exit of edit mode and on drive reset
Some parameters (Pr 6.04, Pr 11. 27 , Pr 11.4 2, Pr 11.43 and Pr 12.41) are updated on exit from mode or on a drive reset. Serial access to these
parameters must be followed by a reset. Pr 6.04, Pr 11.27 and Pr 12.41 are only actioned on a reset when the value has changed.
3.5 Sample/update times
The sample/update times shown in the control terminal specification within the Commander SK Technical Guide are the default sample/update times
for the default terminal set-up. The sample/update time depends on the destination/source parameter of the digital or analog inputs/outputs.
These sample/update times are the sample or update times for the control microprocessor. The actual sample/update time maybe slightly longer due
to the design of the Commander SK.
3.5.1 Task routine times
At the beginning of each menu, there is a single line parameter description and this contains the update rate for each parameter. This time signifies
the task routine time in the software that the parameter is updated on. For a background task, the time depends on processor loading i.e. what
functions the drive is carrying out and what advanced menus are being used.

5 Serial communications
5.1 Introduction
•2-wire EIA RS485 via a RJ45 connector
•Modbus RTU protocol supported (see Chapter 6 CT Modbus RTU on page 16 for details).
A serial communications link enables one or more drives to be used in a system controlled by a host controller such as a PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller) or computer. The communications link uses the EIA, also known as RS485, as standard for the hardware interface. The EIA422 (RS422)
hardware interface is also supported.
The Commander SK has a standard 2-wire EIA485 half-duplex interface that enables all drive set-up, operation and monitoring to be accomplished if
required. Therefore it is possible to control the drive entirely through the EIA485 interface without the need for other control cabling etc.
A host controller can operate up to 32 EIA485 devices with the use of one line buffer. Further line buffers will increase this number, if necessary.
Each transmitter/receiver within the Commander SK loads the EIA485 lines by 2 unit loads (with any termination and pull-up and pull-down resistors
disconnected). This means that up to 16 drives can be connected in a single group to one line buffer. When additional line buffers are used, up to
247 drives can be operated by a host controller.
5.2 EIA232 to EIA485 communications
An external EIA232 hardware interface such as a PC can be used with a suitable converter. This converter must have the hardware and software
support to tri-state the transmit buffer following the message transmission. Otherwise, the Commander SK EIA485 transmitter will not be successful
in transmitting a reply as the host transmitter will cause contention on the 2-wire interface.
Examples of EIA232 to EIA485 converters (one to one)
•CT Comms cable (CT part number 4500-0087)
•USB Comms cable (CT part number 4500-0096)
•Amplicon 485Fi
CT Comms cable is specifically designed to convert EIA232 to EIA485 with Control Techniques products.
These converters are for one to one connection between a PC and the Commander SK drive, they do not have multi-drop capability.
The CT Comms cable is an isolated converter. It has reinforced insulation as defined in IEC60950 for altitudes up to 3,000 metres and has been
designed to connect the Commander SK to equipment such as lap-top computers.
5.2.1 CT Comms cable
CT Comms cable enables the use of serial communications with the Commander SK drive using a software package such as CTSoft. This allows
access to all of the drives parameters and advanced function menus.
CT Comms cable is only intended for the purpose of commissioning a drive. Therefore:
•It is not suitable for permanent installation
•It does not provide connectivity to an EIA485 based network
When this converter is used with a Commander SK and a true EIA232 host/master such as a PC, then no external power supply is required. This is
because the converter sources its power from both the drive and the EIA232 port. However, if the converter is attached to a host/master device that
does not have a standard EIA232 port, then an external power supply may be required.
CT Comms cable does not directly use any of the hand shaking functions that are available on a standard EIA232 port, but does utilise 2 of the hand
shaking pins (pins 4 and 7) as a source of power. If these signals are not available, then a +10V supply should be applied to pins 4 and 7 with respect
to pin 5 of the 9-way D-type connector.

5.2.3 Terminating resistors
When using either of the above converters, or any other suitable converter with Commander SK, it is recommended that no terminating resistors be
connected on to the network. This applies to any of the drives on the network and also any converter used. It may be necessary to disable the
terminating resistor within the converter depending on which type is used. The information on how to disable the terminating resistor will normally be
contained in the user information supplied with the converter. Terminating resistors are of little or no value when used on EIA485 networks operating
at or below 38.4kBaud.
5.2.4 Isolation of the communications port
When using the communications port with a personal computer or centralised controller e.g. PLC, an isolation device must be included
with rated voltage at least equal to the drive supply voltage. Ensure that the correct fuses are installed at the drive input, and that the drive
is connected to the correct supply voltage.
If a serial communications converter other than the CT Comms cable is used to be connected to other circuits classified as Safety Extra
Low Voltage (SELV) (e.g. to a personal computer), a safety isolating barrier must be included to maintain the SELV classification.
5.2.5 Isolation devices
Isolation devices are available from the following suppliers:
CT Comms cable is also isolated (CT part number 4500-0087)
For users of Commander SE, the serial link for the Commander SK is identical to that of the Commander SE.
5.3 Serial communications connections
If more than one drive is to be connected to a serial link, make the connections as shown in Figure 5-1. (The network should be a daisy chain
arrangement and not a star arrangement, although short stubs are allowed.)
Pin 4 of the RJ45 connector (+24V) can be connected together through the RJ45 cables, but there is no power sharing mechanism between drives
and therefore the maximum power available is the same as for a single drive. If pin 4 is not linked to the other drives on the network and has an
individual load, then the maximum power (100mA) can be taken from pin 4 of each drive.
The serial communications cable must be shielded. The shields must be connected as shown in Figure 5-1.
A data communications cable should not be run parallel to any power cables, especially ones that connect the drive to motors. If parallel runs are
unavoidable, ensure a minimum spacing of 300mm (12in.) between the communications cable and the power cables.
Cables crossing one another at right-angles are unlikely to give trouble. The maximum cable length for a EIA485 link is 1,200 metres (4,000 feet).
If the serial communications cable is longer than 30 metres (100ft), the following must be adhered to:
•Shielded cable must be used
and either
•Do not connect the drive 0V to ground at the drive
or
•Provide isolation from ground at remote / master communications device
If more than one drive is connected to a host computer/PLC etc. each drive must have an unique serial address (see Pr
number in the permitted range 0 to 247 may be used but addresses with zero in them should not be used as these are used in drive group addressing.

6 CT Modbus RTU
6.1 CT Modbus RTU specification
This section describes the adaptation of the MODBUS RTU protocol offered on Control Techniques' products. The portable software class which
implements this protocol is also defined.
MODBUS RTU is a master slave system with half-duplex message exchange. The Control Techniques (CT) implementation supports the core
function codes to read and write registers. A scheme to map between MODBUS registers and CT parameters is defined. The CT implementation also
defines a 32bit extension to the standard 16bit register data format.
6.1.1 MODBUS RTU
Physical layer

Each symbol consists of:-
Symbol
Baud rates2400,4800, 9600, 19200, 38400
1 start bit
8 data bits (transmitted least significant bit first)
2 stop bits
RTU framing
The frame has the following basic format
The frame is terminated with a minimum silent period of 3.5 character times (for example, at 19200 baud the minimum silent period is 2ms). Nodes
use the terminating silence period to detect the end of frame and begin frame processing. All frames must therefore be transmitted as a continuous
stream without any gaps greater or equal to the silence period. If an erroneous gap is inserted then receiving nodes may start frame processing early
in which case the CRC will fail and the frame will be discarded.
MODBUS RTU is a master slave system. All master requests, except broadcast requests, will lead to a response from an individual slave. The slave
will respond (i.e. start transmitting the response) within the quoted maximum slave response time (this time is quoted in the data sheet for all Control
Techniques products). The minimum slave response time is also quoted but will never be less than the minimum silent period defined by 3.5 character
times.
If the master request was a broadcast request then the master may transmit a new request once the maximum slave response time has expired.

The master must implement a message time out to handle transmission errors. This time out period must be set to the maximum slave response time
+ transmission time for the response.
6.1.2 Slave address
The first byte of the frame is the slave node address. Valid slave node addresses are 1 through 247 decimal. In the master request this byte indicates
the target slave node; in the slave response this byte indicates the address of the slave sending the response.
Global addressing
Address zero addresses all slave nodes on the network. Slave nodes suppress the response messages for broadcast requests.
6.1.3 MODBUS registers
The MODBUS register address range is 16bit (65536 registers) which at the protocol level is represented by indexes 0 through 65535.
PLC registers
Modicon PLCs typically define 4 register 'files' each containing 65536 registers. Traditionally, the registers are referenced 1 through 65536 rather than
0 through 65535. The register address is therefore decremented on the master device before passing to the protocol.
File typeDescription
1Read only bits
2Read / write bits
3Read only 16bit register
4Read / write 16bit register
The register file type code is NOT transmitted by MODBUS and all register files can be considered to map onto a single register address space.
All parameters in the drive are holding registers.
CT parameter mapping
All CT products are parameterized using the menu.param notation. Indexes 'menu' and 'param' are in the range 0 through 99. The menu.param is
mapped into the MODBUS register space as menu*100 + param.
To correctly map the parameters at the application layer, the slave device increments the received register address. The consequence of this
behaviour is that Pr 0.00 cannot be accessed.

Data types
The MODBUS protocol specification defines registers as 16bit signed integers. All CT devices support this data size.
Refer to the section 6.1.8 Extended data types on page 20 for detail on accessing 32bit register data.
6.1.4 Data consistency
All CT devices support a minimum data consistency of one parameter (16bit or 32bit data). Some devices support consistency for a complete multiple
register transaction.

6.1.5 Data encoding
MODBUS RTU uses a 'big-endian' representation for addresses and data items (except the CRC, which is 'little-endian'). This means that when a
numerical quantity larger than a single byte is transmitted, the MOST significant byte is sent first. So for example
16 - bits0x1234would be0x120x34
32 - bits0x12345678L would be 0x120x340x560x78
6.1.6 Function codes
The function code determines the context and format of the message data. Bit 7 of the function code is used in the slave response to indicate an
exception.
The following function codes are supported:
CodeDescription
3Read multiple 16bit registers
6Write single register
16Write multiple 16bit registers
23Read and write multiple 16bit registers
FC03 Read multiple
Read a contiguous array of registers. The slave imposes an upper limit on the number of registers, which can be read. If this is exceeded the slave
will issue an exception code 2.

6.1.7 Communications timeouts
When a CT Modbus RTU master sends a message to a slave, the master should use a timeout to detect a missing response from a slave. Ideally, a
variable timeout will be used based on the number of hops a CT Modbus RTU message makes between the master and its eventual destination.
In practice a master may not be able to handle variable timeouts in such a fashion. If this is the case a single timeout should be used which is large
enough to cater for the longest route to a destination. The recommended timeouts for use with a specific product are given in the specific product user
guides.
6.1.8 Extended data types
Standard MODBUS registers are 16bit and the standard mapping maps a single X.Y parameter to a single MODBUS register. To support 32bit data
types (integer and float) the MODBUS multiple read and write services are used to transfer a contiguous array of 16bit registers.
Slave devices typically contain a mixed set of 16bit and 32bit registers. To permit the master to select the desired 16bit or 32bit access the top two bits
of the register address are used to indicate the selected data type.
The selection is applied for the whole block access

Reads when actual parameter type is different from selected
The slave will send the least significant word of a 32 bit parameter if that parameter is read as part of a 16 bit access.
The slave will sign extent the least significant word if a 16 bit parameter is accessed as a 32 bit parameter. The number of 16 bit registers must be
even during a 32 bit access.
Example, If Pr 20.21 is a 32 bit parameter with a value of 0x12345678, Pr 20.22 is a 16 bit parameter with a value of 0xABCD, and Pr 20.23 is a 16 bit
parameter with a value of 0x0123.

request exceeds the slave maximum buffer size then the slave will discard the message. No exception will be transmitted in this case and the master
will time out.

Exception codes
The following exception codes are supported.
CodeDescription
1Function code not supported
Register address out of range, or request to read too many
2
registers
Parameter over range during block write FC16
The slave processes the write block in the order the data is received. If a write fails due to an out of range value then the write block is terminated.
However, the slave does not raise an exception response, rather the error condition is signalled to the master by the number of successful writes field
in the response.
Parameter over range during block read/write FC23
There will be no indication that there has been a value out of range during a FC23 access.
6.1.10 CRC
The CRC is a 16bit cyclic redundancy check using the standard CRC-16 polynomial x16 + x15 + x2 + 1. The 16bit CRC is appended to the message
and transmitted LSB first.
The CRC is calculated on ALL the bytes in the frame.

7 PLC Ladder programming
PLC Ladder programming and SYPTLite
The Commander SK has the ability to store and execute a 3kb PLC ladder logic program.
To enable the Commander SK to store and execute a SYPTLite program, a LogicStick must be installed to the drive.
The ladder logic program is written using SYPTLite, a Windows based ladder diagram editor allowing the development of programs for execution in
the Commander SK.
SYPTLite is designed to be easy to use and to make program development as simple as possible. SYPTLite programs are developed using ladder
logic, a graphical language widely used to program PLCs (IEC 61131-3). SYPTLite allows the user to 'draw' a ladder diagram representing a program.
SYPTLite provides a complete environment for the development of ladder diagrams. Ladder diagrams can be created, compiled into PLC ladder
programs and downloaded into the Commander SK for execution via the RJ45 serial communications port on the front of the drive. The run-time
operation of the compiled ladder diagram on the target can also be monitored using SYPTLite and facilities are provided to interact with the program
on the target by setting new values for target parameters.
SYPTLite is available on the CD which is provided with the drive. The LogicStick can be purchased from your local Control Techniques Drive Centre
or Distributor.
Benefits
The combination of the PLC ladder program and SYPTLite mean that Commander SK can replace nano and some micro PLC’s in many applications.
A Commander SK ladder program can contain up to 50 ladder logic rungs, up to 7 function blocks and 10 contacts per rung. The ladder program will
be stored on the LogicStick.
In addition to the basic ladder symbols, SYPTLIte contains:
•Arithmetic blocks
•Comparison blocks
•Timers
•Counters
•Multiplexers
•Latches
•Bit manipulation
Typical applications of the PLC ladder program include:
•Ancillary pumps
•Fans and control valves
•Interlocking logic
•Sequences routines
•Custom control words
Limitations
The PLC ladder program has the following limitations:
•The maximum program size is 3kbytes including the header and optional source code
•The user cannot create user variables. If they are needed, the user must use free registers in menus 18 and 20. The PLC ladder program can
manipulate any drive parameter except parameters in menu 0.
•The program is only accessible via the drive's RJ45 serial communications port.
•There are no real-time tasks i.e. the scheduling rate of the program cannot be guaranteed. The PLC ladder programming should not be used for
time critical applications.
The LogicStick is rated for 1,000,000 downloads. The LogicStick can be transferred from one drive to another or a fresh copy of a PLC ladder
program can be made on a different LogicStick by downloading the program from SYPTLite.
User program performance
Programs run at a low priority. The Commander SK provides a single background task in which to run the ladder diagram. The drive is prioritised to
perform its major functions first e.g. motor control, and will use any remaining processing time to execute the ladder diagram. As the drive's processor
becomes more heavily loaded running its major functions, less time is spent executing the program. SYPTLite displays the average execution time
calculated over the last 10 scans of the user program.
Getting started and system requirements
SYPTLite can be found on the CD which is supplied with the drive.
•Commander SK LogicStick
•Windows 2000/XP/Vista 32 required. Windows 95/98/98SE/ME/NT4 are not supported.
•Internet explorer V5.0 or later must be installed
•Minimum of 800x600 screen resolution with 256 colors
•128MB RAM
•Pentium III 500MHz or better recommended
•Adobe Acrobat 5.10 or later (for parameter help)
•RS232 to RS485, RJ45 communications lead to connect the PC to the Commander SK
The user must have administrator rights under Windows 2000/XP/Vista 32 to install the software.

To uninstall CTSoft, go to the Control Panel, select "Add and Remove Programs". Scroll down the list until "CTSoft" is found then click on "Change/
Remove". Uninstalling will not lose any user project or data files.
Communications Overview
CTSoft operates in 2 basic communication modes:
In ONLINE mode CTSoft polls the selected drive to update all displayed parameter values. Any changes made to a parameter value will be displayed
within CTSoft.
In OFFLINE mode CTSoft does not require any connection to a drive. Each parameter can be displayed and edited, and these alterations will only
affect CTSoft's internal parameter set.
Getting started with CTSoft
Please refer to the Readme file available within the installation directory for the latest information.
During the startup of CTSoft a number of initialisation files are accessed. These files enable CTSoft to store and retrieve system, user specific and
parameter data.
On initialisation, the startup dialog is displayed allowing you to create a new project, open a previously saved project, or to work with a drive which
automatically creates a project and allows quick access to communicating with a single drive.
Before drive commissioning can proceed, it is necessary to set up the Communications port to enable communication between the host PC and drive.
Select the "Drive" menu, and Properties, to open the Drive Properties dialog.
The document server can be downloaded from www.controltechniques.com. When help on a particular parameter is requested by the user, CTSoft
links to the parameter in the relevant advanced user guide. Double-click the mouse on the required parameter and select parameter help from the
displayed box
The following is a brief introduction to the functions available. Reference should be made to the CTSoft and drive Help files for more detailed
information.
•The drive set-up wizard guides the novice user in entering motor and application data. Help is provided for each step in the set-up wizard and,
after the data is downloaded to the drive, a quick motor test can be performed.
•CTSoft will automatically update the screen with any read values.
•The Navigation Panel allows the user to move between the screens in CTSoft.
•The Terminal Configuration screens display graphically the choice of terminal set-up. They enable the quick and effective setting of parameters to
achieve the terminal configuration desired, with no knowledge of the parameters being set-up. The Analog References screen also provides the
ability to set-up the mode of operation of the analog inputs. The graphical wiring diagram required for basic control dynamical
ly altering with
respect to the user choice.
•The monitoring screens show the status motor parameters displayed on panel meters. Drive faults are displayed and the faults log shows the last
ten trips with description and time.
•The parameter listings are used to display the entire contents of a menu. This allows access to parameters that are not available to the user within
the graphical screens or block diagrams. Complete parameter upload and download functions are provided with the ability to save these to disk.
Complete compare facilities enable the comparison of CTSoft's memory with a user saved parameter file or database defaults, highlighting any
differences.

These flags are controlled by the drive sequencer defined in Menu 6. They select the appropriate reference as commanded by the drive logic.

On Commander SK, Pr 1.14 (Pr 21.03) is not automatically set-up for modes 1 to 3. Digital inputs need to be assigned to Pr 1.45 and Pr 1.46, to allow

When this parameter is set to 0 the reference selected depends on the state of bit parameters Pr 1.41 to Pr 1.44. These bits are for control by digital
inputs such that references can be selected by external control. If any of the bits are set, the appropriate reference is selected (indicated by Pr 1.49).
If more than one bit is set the highest numbered will have priority.
In modes 1 and 2 a preset speed will be selected instead of the voltage or current selection if the preset selected is any preset speed other than
preset speed 1. This gives the user the flexibility to be able to select between current and 3 presets, or voltage and three presets, with only two digital
inputs.
When Pr 1.14 is set to 5 (Prc), Pr 1.04, Pr 1.09 and Pr 1.38 cannot be used.
If Keypad reference is selected, the drive sequencer is controlled directly by the keypad keys and the keypad reference parameter (Pr 1.17) is
selected. The sequencing bits, Pr 6.30 to Pr 6.34, have no effect and jog is disabled.
There is no forward/ reverse button on the drives keypad. If a forward/ reverse is required in keypad mode, see Pr 11. 27 for how to set this up.
For existing users of Commander SE:
On Commander SE, Pr 1.14 (Pr 21.03) used to correspond to Pr 05.
On Commander SK, Pr 11. 27 corresponds to Pr 05.
If Pr 05 or Pr 11.27 is used in a desired system set-up and then Pr 1.14 (Pr 21.03) is then used to change this set-up, although some of these set-ups
for Pr 05 and Pr 1.14 (Pr 21.03) are the same, the displayed value showing the set-up of Pr 05 (AI.AV, AV.Pr etc.) will not change to the setting of
Pr 1.14 (Pr 21.03).

This parameter is used to select a preset speed reference as follows:
With a value other than 0 or 1, this means that the corresponding preset speed will be used as the selected reference (Pr 1.01).
When this parameter is set to 0 the preset selected depends on the state of bit parameters Pr 1.45, Pr 1.46 and Pr 1.47. These bits are for control by
digital inputs such that presets can be selected by external control. The preset selected depends on the binary code generated by these bits as
follows:

Pr 1.50 indicates the preset selected at all times.
If the reference selected by Pr 1.14
(or Pr 21.03) is 1 or 2 (current or voltage) a preset will be selected instead of the current or voltage selection if the
preset selected is any other than 1. This give the user the flexibility to be able to select between voltage and 3 presets, or current and three presets,
with only two digital inputs.

Update rateBackground
The drives normal frequency resolution is 0.1Hz.
Selecting these two parameters as a reference automatically selects high resolution control (unless a frequency limit is hit or slip compensation is
enabled). The frequency in this case will have a resolution of 0.001Hz. Pr 1.18 defines the reference (either positive or negative) with a resolution of
0.1Hz. Pr 1.19 defines the fine part of the reference (always positive). The final reference is given by Pr 1.18 + Pr 1.19. Therefore Pr 1.19 increases
positive references away from zero, and decreases negative references towards zero.

When this parameter is set to OFF, the pre-ramp reference (Pr 1.01) is updated with the precision reference parameters (Pr 1.18 and Pr 1.19). If the
precision reference parameters are changed while this parameter is set to OFF, the pre-ramp reference will be updated immediately.
When this parameter is set to On, the precision reference update parameters (Pr 1.18 and Pr 1.19) are continually read and updated in internal
memory but the pre-ramp reference (Pr 1.01) is not updated. Because the precision reference has to be set in two parameters, this parameter being
set to On prevents the reference from being updated while the parameters are being changed. This prevents the possibility of data skew.

Three skip references are available to prevent continuous operation at a speed that would cause mechanical resonance. When a skip reference
parameter is set to 0 that filter is disabled. The skip reference band parameters define the frequency or speed range either side of the programmed
skip reference, over which references are rejected. The actual reject band is therefore twice that programmed in these parameters, the skip reference
parameters defining the centre of the band. When the selected reference is within a band the lower limit of the band is passed through to the ramps
such that reference is always less than demanded.

Although the range for scaling purposes is ±550 Hz, the actual parameter value can be increased beyond this range by the current limit controller (up
to 20 % > than the maximum frequency).

Default1
Update rateBackground
This parameter has 4 settings as follows:
0: Fast ramp
1: Standard ramp with normal motor voltage
2: Standard ramp with high motor voltage
3: Fast ramp with high motor volts
The acceleration ramp is not affected by the ramp mode, and the ramp output will rise at the programmed acceleration rate (subject to the current
limits programmed).
Fast Ramp
In modes 0 and 3, the output of the ramp will fall at the programmed deceleration rate (subject to the current limits programmed). The DC Bus voltage
controller is not active in these modes.
Standard Ramp
In modes 1 & 2, the voltage rising to the standard ramp level (Pr 2.08) causes a proportional controller to operate, the output of which changes the
demanded current in the motor. As the controller regulates the bus voltage, the motor decelerates at a faster and faster rate as it approaches zero
speed. When the motor deceleration rate reaches the programmed deceleration rate the controller ceases to operate and the drive continues to
decelerate at the programmed rate. If the standard ramp voltage (Pr 2.08) is set lower than the nominal DC bus level the drive will not decelerate but
will coast to rest.
The current demand is fed to the frequency changing current controller and therefore the gain parameters, Pr 4.13 and Pr 4.14 must be set up for
optimum control.
Standard ramp can increase output frequency by 20% during deceleration.

In modes 0 and 1 the motor voltage is correctly set according to the motor rated voltage parameter, while in modes 2 and 3 the motor voltage is
allowed to go up to a factor of 1.2 times its normal value during deceleration. This higher voltage saturates the motor which increases the losses in the
motor and therefore reduces the amount of energy transferring from the motor to the DC bus for a given deceleration rate. For a given amount of
energy being dissipated by the drive at the regulated DC bus level, modes 2 and 3 will allow a faster deceleration than modes 0 and 1, providing that
the motor can stand the extra losses being dissipated in it.
Mode 0 is normally selected when using a braking resistor (mode 3 can be selected if desired but will cause the motor to heat up more due to the
higher losses in the motor when compared to mode 0)

This parameter defines the maximum rate of change of acceleration that the drive will operate with.
The default values have been chosen such that for the default ramps and maximum speed, the curved parts of the S will be 25% of the original ramp

It is not advisable to set this parameter to 0.1s

Since the ramp rate is defined in s/100Hz (s/1000Hz when Pr 2.39 = 0) and the S ramp parameter is defined in s
2
/100Hz (s2/1000Hz when Pr 2.39 =
0), the time T for the 'curved' part of the S can be determined quite easily by dividing the two variables thus:
T = S ramp rate of change / Ramp rate
Enabling S ramp increases the total ramp time by the period T since an additional T/2 is added to each end of the ramp in producing the S.
This voltage is used as the level for standard ramp modes. If it is set too low the machine will coast to rest, and if it is set too high and no braking
resistor is used it may trip on OV. The minimum level should be greater than the voltage produced on the DC bus by the highest supply voltage.
Normally the DC bus voltage will be approximately the rms supply voltage x √2
If the output frequency does not decrease in 10 seconds after the drive has been given a stop command, the drive will disable. This can occur at low
speeds with long cables on a soft supply.

Frequency input and output
The frequency input is used as a speed reference. In some applications, a frequency input from a controller is used in preference to a 0 to +10V or 4
to 20mA signal.
This frequency input is converted into a frequency reference percentage (Pr 3.45) and this percentage value is used to provide the speed reference
(as Pr 7.01 and Pr 7.02 in Menu 7).
This frequency input cannot be used for frequency slaving.
The frequency input and output are not 'locked' together or synchronised within the drive. The frequency input is used as a speed reference and from
this input, the software calculates the correct frequency to put on to the output. The threshold is 10V for a frequency input.

This parameter defines the 'At speed' window which is the boundary around the set speed point in which an 'At speed' indication is given (Pr 10.06 =
On(1). The 'At speed' window is thus defined as Set speed ±(Pr 3.06 / 2).
The speed detector system also includes an overspeed trip. The level cannot be set by the user, but the drive produces an overspeed trip if the output

With Pr 3.43 set to 10kHz and the destination parameter (Pr 8.25) set to preset speed 1 (Pr 1.21).
When the input frequency on terminal B7 is 10kHz, preset speed 1 will be 50Hz (Pr 1.06 = 50Hz, Eur defaults). This will have a resolution of 11 bits.
Frequency input with High Resolution
When Pr 8.35 is set to 3 (Frequency input with high resolution) this gives a 12 bit input for maximum reference frequencies of 12kHz and greater.
Pr 1.19 is automatically updated with the 2 LSBs.

The scaling of the current feedback is based on the ratings of the drive as follows:
Levelx rated drive current
Over-current trip2.2
Open-loop peak limit1.75
Open-loop maximum standard operating current1.5
Rated drive current1.0
Maximum Normal Duty current rating≤1.36*
Maximum motor rated current≤1.36*
* On drives that offer dual rating, the rated current can be increased above the rated drive current up to a level not exceeding 1.36 x drive rated
current. The actual level varies from one drive size to another.
The drive has a current controller to give current limiting in frequency control mode and a torque controller in torque control mode. The active current
is controlled by modification of the drive output frequency. Menu 4 provides parameters to set-up the current controller. Additional voltage based
current control is provided to limit transients (peak-limit), but there are no user parameters to control this.

The drive operates in the stator flux reference frame under steady state conditions. The absolute maximum motor current is defined by the peak limit
system as 1.75 x rated drive current. However, the drive does not normally operate at this level, but uses the peak limit system as protection against
over-current trips. Under normal operation the motor current is limited to 1.50 x rated drive current, allowing a safety margin between the maximum
normal operating current and the peak limit level.
DRIVE_CURRENT_MAX is full scale current feedback, i.e. rated drive current x 2.0.
The relationship between the voltage and current is shown in the following vector diagram.
Comma nder SK Adva nced Use r Gu ide 63
Issue Number: 9 www.controltechniques.com
MOTOR1_CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX is used as the maximum for some parameters such as the user current limits. This is defined in the vector
equation as follows (with a maximum of 1000%):
Where:
Motor rated current is given by Pr 5.07
PF is motor rated power factor given by Pr 5.10
(MOTOR2_CURRENT_LIMIT_MAX is calculated from the motor map 2 parameters)
The Maximum current is (1.5 x Rated drive current) when the rated current set by Pr 5.07 (or Pr 21.07 if motor map 2 is selected) is less than or
equal to the Maximum Heavy Duty current rating specified in Pr 11.32, otherwise it is (1.1 x Maximum motor rated current).
For example, with a motor of the same rating as the drive and a power factor of 0.85, the maximum current limit is 165.2%.
The above calculation is based on the assumption that the flux producing current (Pr 4.17) in the stator flux reference frame does not vary with load
and remains at the level for rated load. This is not the case and the flux producing current will vary as the load is increased. Therefore the maximum
current limit may not be reached before the drive reduces the current limit to prevent the peak limit from becoming active.
The rated active and rated magnetising currents are calculated from the power factor (Pr 5.10) and motor rated current (Pr 5.07) as:
rated active current = power factor x motor rated current
rated magnetising current = √(1 - power factor
The drive uses the motor rated current and the power factor at rated load to set up the maximum current limits, scale the current limits correctly and
calculate the rated active and magnetising currents. The user may enter the nameplate values in Pr 5.07 and Pr 5.10 respectively and the drive will
operate satisfactorily. Alternatively the drive can perform an auto-tune test on the motor to measure the power factor at rated load by measuring R
(stationary test), σL
(stationary test), and Ls (rotating test). See Pr 5.12 on page 77 for details.
s
On Commander SK sizes 2 to 6, the ratio between maximum continuous current and maximum overload is less than on the smaller drives. This is
handled in the software by specifying the 'drives rated current' as maximum current limit level / 1.5, the same as on the smaller drives. The current
rating in Pr 11.32 is still the Heavy Duty rating of the drive, but because it is greater than the 'drive rating' figure used by the software, the current limit
point will be less than 150% of the rating specified in Pr 11.32.
The motor rated current (Pr 5.07) may be increased above the drive current rating specified in Pr 11.32 up to a limit defined by the Maximum motor
rated current. If the motor rated current is above the current rating specified in Pr 11.32, the motor thermal protection scheme is modified (see
Pr 4.16).
In the following descriptions the term 'drive rated current' is the one used by the software, not the value in Pr 11.32.

This parameter is the r.m.s. current from each output phase of the drive. The phase currents consist of an active component and a reactive
component. The three phase currents can be combined to form a resultant current vector as shown below:
The resultant current magnitude is displayed by this parameter. The active current is the torque producing current, and the reactive current is the
magnetising or flux producing current.
The active current is the torque producing current in a motor drive.

-+Forward decelerating or brakingRegeneration (-)
+-Reverse decelerating or brakingRegeneration (-)
--Reverse acceleratingMotoring (+)
The diagram above shows the magnetising and active current vectors. These are represented in x and y axes of a reference frame. Pr 4.02 gives the
active current which is proportional to the length of the vector in the y axis and equivalent to the active phase current value in amps.
If the drive operates with fixed boost the y axis is aligned with the output voltage. Therefore the magnetising current represents the reactive
component of current leaving the drive and the active current represents the real component of current leaving the drive. Therefore the active current
produces torque and supplies the losses in the motor.
If the drive operates in vector mode (see Pr 5.14 on page 79) the x axis is aligned with the stator flux in the steady state, and so the active current
should be proportional to the torque produced by the machine. The active current will give a good indication of the machine torque over most of the
frequency range, however, the accuracy is reduced below 10Hz.
In both cases the relationship between the active current and motor torque will change once the maximum drive output voltage or the rated voltage of
the motor set by Pr 5.09 is reached, whichever is the lowest. (Generally the maximum drive output voltage will be just below the r.m.s. line supply
voltage.) Once one of these limits is reached the voltage is held constant and the motor flux reduces with frequency. This is referred to as field
weakening or constant power operation. In this region the relationship between torque and active current is approximately as follows, where K is a
constant related to the motor:
Torque = K x active current x frequency at voltage limit / actual frequency
Normally the point at which the voltage limit is reached is close to the rated frequency of the motor.

This parameter defines the current limit as a percentage of the rated active current. When the motor rated current is set lower than the drive rated
current, the maximum value of this parameter increases to allow larger overloads.
Therefore, by setting the motor rated current to a lower value than the drive rated current, it is possible to have a current limit greater than 165%. An
absolute maximum current limit of 999.9% is applied.
In frequency control mode (Pr 4.11 = OFF), the drive output frequency is modified if necessary to keep the active current within the current limits as
shown below:
The active current limit is compared with the active current and if the current exceeds the limit the error value passes through the PI controller to give
a frequency component which is used to modify the ramp output. The direction of the modification is always to reduce the frequency to zero if the
active current is motoring, or to increase the frequency towards the maximum if the current is regenerating. Even when the current limit is active the
ramp still operates, therefore the proportional and integral gains (Pr 4.13 and Pr 4.14) must be high enough to counter the effects of the ramp. For
method of setting the gains see Pr 4.13 and Pr 4.14 on page 67.
In torque control mode the current demand is limited by the active current limit. For operation of this mode see Pr 4.11 on page 66.
When the current limit becomes active, the display will flash AC.Lt

Update rateBackground
This is the main torque reference parameter. A positive value is required for torque to be applied in the forward direction, and a negative value is
required for torque to be applied in the reverse direction.
For a negative value, program a digital input to the analog input invert bit. This will give a negative value on the analog input destination parameter.
This will allow the direction of rotation to be controlled by the polarity of the analog input.
If operating in torque control, due to small errors in current measurement at low frequencies, with zero torque reference and light loads, the drive may
allow the motor to rotate. The direction of rotation while in torque control is determined by the polarity of the torque reference. Therefore, at power-up
with zero torque reference and with the drive enabled, the motor may rotate in either direction. This is because any error in the current feedback
maybe a positive or negative value. If the error is positive, the motor will rotate in the forward direction and if the error is negative, the motor will rotate
in the reverse direction.
If it is necessary to guarantee the direction of rotation at power up while in torque control, a small positive or negative error must be present in Pr 4.08.

Update rateBackground
These parameters control the proportional and integral gains of the current controller. As already mentioned the current controller either provides
current limits or closed loop torque control by modifying the drive output frequency. The control loop is also used in its torque mode during mains loss,
or when the controlled mode standard ramp is active and the drive is decelerating, to regulate the flow of current into the drive. Although the default
settings have been chosen to give suitable gains for less demanding applications it may be necessary for the user to adjust the performance of the
controller. The following is a guide to setting the gains for different applications.
Current limit operation
The current limits will normally operate with an integral term only, particularly below the point where field weakening begins. The proportional term is
inherent in the loop. The integral term must be increased enough to counter the effect of the ramp which is still active even in current limit. For
example, if the drive is operating at constant frequency and is overloaded the current limit system will try to reduce the output frequency to reduce the
load. At the same time the ramp will try to increase the frequency back up to the demand level. If the integral gain is increased too far the first signs of
instability will occur when operating around the point where field weakening begins. These oscillations can be reduced by increasing the proportional
gain. A system has been included to prevent regulation because of the opposite actions of the ramps and the current limit. This can reduce the actual
level that the current limit becomes active by 12.5%. This still allows the current to increase up to the current limit set by the user. However the current
limit flag (Pr 10.09) could become active up to 12.5% below the current limit depending on the ramp rate used.
Torque control
Again the controller will normally operate with an integral term only, particularly below the point where field weakening begins. The first signs of
instability will appear around rated speed, and can be reduced by increasing the proportional gain. The controller can be less stable in torque control
mode rather than when it is used for current limiting. This is because load helps to stabilise the controller, and under torque control the drive may
operate with light load. Under current limit the drive is often under heavy load unless the current limits are set at a low level.
Mains loss and controlled standard ramp
The DC bus voltage controller becomes active if mains loss detection is enabled and the drive supply is lost or controlled standard ramp is being used
and the machine is regenerating. The DC bus controller attempts to hold the DC bus voltage at a fixed level by controlling the flow of current from the
drive inverter into its DC bus capacitors. The output of the DC bus controller is a current demand which is fed into the current PI controller as shown
below:
Comma nder SK Adva nced Use r Gu ide 67
Issue Number: 9 www.controltechniques.com
The DC bus controller gain is a function of DC bus capacitance and therefore is fixed internally. It may often be necessary to adjust the current
controller gains to obtain the required performance. If the gains are not suitable it is best to set up the drive in torque control first. Set the gains to a
value that does not cause instability around the point at which field weakening occurs. Then revert back to open loop speed control in standard ramp
mode. To test the controller the supply should be removed while the motor is running. It is likely that the gains can be increased further if required
because the DC bus voltage controller has a stabilising effect, provided that the drive is not required to operate in torque control mode.

The motor is modelled thermally in a way that is equivalent to the electrical circuit shown below:
The temperature of the motor as a percentage of maximum temperature, with a constant current magnitude of I, constant value of K and constant
value of motor rated current (set by Pr 5.07 or Pr 21.07) after time t is given by
This assumes that the maximum allowed motor temperature is produced by K x Motor rated current and that τ is the thermal time constant of the point
in the motor that reaches it maximum allowed temperature first. τ is defined by Pr 4.15. The estimated motor temperature is given by Pr 4.19 as a
percentage of maximum temperature. If Pr 4.15 has a value of 0 the thermal time constant is taken as 1.
If the rated current (defined by Pr 5.07 or Pr 21.07 depending on which motor is selected) is less or equal to the Maximum heavy duty rating then
Pr 4.25 can be used to select 2 alternative protection characteristics (see diagram below). If Pr 4.25 is OFF(0) the characteristic is for a motor which
can operate at rated current over the whole speed range. Induction motors with this type of characteristic normally have forced cooling. If Pr 4.25 is
On(1) the characteristic is intended for motors where the cooling effect of motor fan reduces with reduced motor speed below half of rated speed. The
maximum value for K is 1.05, so that above the knee of the characteristics the motor can operate continuously up to 105% current.
Below the knee point, the drive will display OVL.d, with Pr 4.01 at 100% current.

If the rated current is above the maximum Heavy Duty rating then Pr 4.25 can also be used to select 2 alternative protection characteristics. Both
characteristics are intended for motors where the cooling effect of the motor fan reduces with reduced motor speed, but with different speeds below
which the cooling effect is reduced. The maximum value for K is 1.01, so that above the knee of the characteristics the motor can operate
continuously up to 101% current.
When the estimated temperature reaches 100% the drive takes some action depending on the setting of Pr 4.16. If Pr 4.16 is OFF(0), the drive trips
when the threshold is reached. If Pr 4.16 is On(1), the current limit is reduced to (K - 0.05) x 100% when the temperature is 100%. The current limit is
set back to the user defined level when the temperature (Pr 4.19) falls below 95%.
The time for some action to be taken by the drive from cold with constant motor current is given by:
Alternatively the thermal time constant can be calculated from the trip time with a given current from
For example, if the drive should trip after supplying 150% overload (Pr 4.01) for 60 seconds with K = 1.05 then
The thermal model temperature accumulator is reset to zero at power-up and accumulates the temperature of the motor while the drive remains
powered-up. Each time parameter Pr 11. 45 is changed to select a new motor, or the rated current defined by Pr 5.07 or Pr 21.07 (depending on the
motor selected) is altered, the accumulator is reset to zero.

parameter
Pr 21.08
Update rateBackground
The rated full load rpm is used with the motor rated frequency and No. of motor poles to calculate the rated slip of the induction machine in Hz.
The rated slip is used to calculate the frequency adjustment required to compensate for slip from the following equation:
If slip compensation is required, Pr 5.27 must be set to On(1) and 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 rated 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.
If Pr 5.08 is set to 0 or to synchronous speed, slip compensation is disabled.
If the full load speed of the motor is above 9999rpm, slip compensation should be disabled. This is because a value above 9999 cannot be entered in
Pr 5.08. It may be useful to disable slip compensation when using the Commander SK on a high inertia load e.g. fan or high speed spindle motor.

The rated voltage is used in conjunction with the motor rated frequency (Pr 5.06) to define the voltage to frequency characteristic applied to the motor.
The following operating methods selected by Pr 5.14 are used to define the drive frequency to voltage characteristic.
Open-loop vector mode: Ur S, Ur A, Ur or Ur I
A linear characteristic is used from 0Hz to rated frequency, and then a constant voltage above rated frequency. When the drive operates between
rated frequency/50 and rated frequency/4, full vector based stator resistance (Rs) compensation is applied. However there is a delay of 0.5s when the
drive is enabled during which only partial vector based compensation is applied to allow the machine flux to build up. When the drive operates
between rated frequency/4 and rated frequency/2 the Rs compensation is gradually reduced to zero as the frequency increases. For the vector
modes to operate correctly the stator resistance (Pr 5.17), motor rated power factor (Pr 5.10) and voltage offset (Pr 5.23) are all required to be set-up
accurately.
Fixed boost mode: Fd
A linear characteristic is used from 0Hz to rated frequency, and then constant voltage above rated frequency. Low frequency voltage boost as defined
by Pr 5.15 is applied as shown below.
Square law mode: SrE
A square law characteristic is used from 0Hz to rated frequency, and then constant voltage above rated frequency. Low frequency voltage boost
raises the start point of the square law characteristic as shown below.

Once a rotating auto-tune has been initiated (Pr 5.12 set to 2) on Commander SK, it must be completed before the drive will operate normally. If the
rotating auto-tune is not completed (through the drive being disabled or a trip occurring), the drive will only run at the auto-tune speed (2/3 rated
speed reference) when the drive is asked to run again.
If a drive is disabled during a rotating auto-tune, Pr 5.12 should be set back to 2 and the drive enabled again so that the rotating auto-tune can be
completed.
If the drive trips during a rotating auto-tune, the reason for the trip should be corrected and the rotating auto-tune started again after setting Pr 5.12
back to 2.
The condition can also be cleared by power cycling the drive.
The following parameters are used in the vector control algorithm.

All these parameters can be set by the user except the transient inductance. The autotune test can be used to overwrite the user or default settings
as described below. Accurate values of stator resistance and voltage offset are required even for moderate performance in vector mode (an accurate
value of power factor is less critical).
1 Stationary test
The stationary test measures the stator resistance (Pr 5.17) and voltage offset (Pr 5.23). The power factor (Pr 5.10) is not affected.
2 Rotating test
A stationary test is performed to measure stator resistance (Pr 5.17), voltage offset (Pr 5.23) and transient inductance (Pr 5.24). The transient
inductance is not used directly by the drive, but is an intermediate value in determining the power factor after the rotating test. This is followed by a
rotating test in which the motor is accelerated with the currently selected ramps to
2
/3 of rated speed and held at this speed for several seconds. Once
the test is complete the power factor (Pr 5.10) is updated and the motor coasts to a stop.
The motor should be unloaded for this test to produce correct results.
The autotune tests may be aborted by removing the run command or if a trip occurs. During the auto-tune tests the following trips can occur in
addition to the other drive trips.
Trip codeReason
tunEAuto-tune stopped before completion
rSStator resistance too high
The rS trip is produced if the drive cannot achieve the necessary current levels to measure the stator resistance during the test (i.e. there is no motor
connected to the drive), or if the necessary current level can be achieved, but the calculated resistance exceeds the maximum values for the
particular drive size. The maximum measurable value can be calculated from the following formula.
= DC_VOLTAGE_MAX / (Drive rated current x √2 x 2)
Rs

It is important to make sure that the motor wiring configuration is correct (i.e. Star/Delta) before performing an autotune.
If any changes are made to the drive's motor map parameter, system wiring, motor wiring configuration or motor size or type, the drive must be reautotuned to the motor. Not performing another auto-tune will result in poor motor performance, OI.AC or It.AC trips.

0 Ur SStator resistance and voltage offset measured on each run signal
The stator resistance (Pr 5.17) and the voltage offset (Pr 5.23) are measured and the parameters for the selected motor map are over-written each
time the drive is given a run signal. This test can only be done with a stationary machine where the flux has decayed to zero. Therefore this mode
should only be used if the machine is guaranteed to be stationary each time the drive is enabled. 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 re-started. In this
case, previously measured values are used. The new values of stator resistance and voltage offset are automatically saved to EEPROM.
1 Ur No measurements
The stator resistance and voltage offset are not measured. The user can enter the motor and cabling resistance into the stator resistance parameter.
However this will not include resistance effects within the drive inverter. Therefore if this mode is to be used, it is best to use the auto-tuning stationary
test initially to measure the stator resistance.
2 FdFixed boost mode.
Neither the stator resistance nor the voltage offset are used, instead a fixed characteristic with boost applied as defined by Pr 5.15 is used. (see
Pr 5.09 on page 76)
Fixed boost mode should be used for multiple motor applications.
3 Ur AStator resistance and voltage offset measured at first drive enable
The stator resistance and voltage offset are measured once, the first time the drive is enabled and run. After the test has been completed successfully
the mode is changed to Ur mode. The stator resistance and voltage offset are written to the parameters for the currently selected motor map and
these parameters along with this parameter are saved in the EEPROM.
If the test fails the stator resistance and voltage offset are not updated, the mode is changed to Ur, but no parameters are saved. If the drive is
powered down and back up, the drive will carry out another autotune when the drive is enabled and run.
4 Ur IStator resistance and voltage offset measured at each power-up and after a drive default
The stator resistance and voltage offset are measured when the drive is first enabled after each power-up and after a drive default. The new values of
stator resistance and voltage offset are automatically saved to EEPROM.

This parameter defines the required switching frequency.
The drive may automatically reduce the actual switching frequency (without changing this parameter) if the power stage becomes too hot. The
switching frequency can reduce from 18kHz to 12kHz to 6kHz to 3kHz. An estimation of the IGBT junction temperature is made based on the heatsink
temperature and an instantaneous temperature drop using the drive output current and switching frequency. The estimated IGBT junction
temperature is displayed in Pr 7.34.
If the temperature exceeds 135
o
C, the switching frequency is reduced if possible (i.e if the current switching frequency is >3kHz) and auto-switching
frequency change mode is enabled (see Pr 5.35 on page 82) to reduce the drives losses and thus reduce the IGBT junction temperature.
If the load condition persists, the junction temperature may continue to rise. If the temperature exceeds 145
o
C and the switching frequency cannot be
reduced the drive will initiate an O.ht1 trip.
Every 20ms the drive will attempt to restore the set switching frequency if the higher switching frequency will not take the IGBT temperature above
o
C.
135
Also refer to 10.18 on page 131.
The 18kHz switching frequency is not available on Commander SK size B and C, 400V units, Commander SK size D or Commander SK size 2 to 6.
Therefore it is not recommended to use these drives where the output frequencies are likely to be above 550 Hz.
With drive firmware V01.07.01 onwards, the 400V size C drive will have an actual switching frequency of 3kHz when the output frequency is below
6Hz.
With a default switching frequency of 3 kHz, the maximum output frequency should be limited to 250Hz. Ideally a minimum ration of 12:1 should be
maintained between the output frequency and the switching frequency. This ensures the number of switching per cycle is sufficient to ensure the
output waveform quality is maintained at a minimum level.

Normally the drive will use space vector modulation to produce the IGBT control signals. High stability space vector modulation offers three
advantages in an open loop drive, but the acoustic noise produced by the motor may increase slightly.
•It is possible for instability to occur around motor rated frequency/2 on light load. The drive uses deadtime compensation to reduce this effect,
however, it is still possible that some machines will be unstable. To prevent this, high stability space vector modulation should be enabled by
setting this parameter.
•As the output voltage approaches the maximum available from the drive, pulse deletion occurs. This can cause unstable operation with a lightly or
fully loaded machine. High stability space vector modulation will reduce this effect.
•High stability space vector modulation will also give a small reduction in drive heat loss.
High stability space vector modulation is not available on Commander SK sizes A, B and C. Available with size D and size 2 to 6.

1: On Over modulation enable
The maximum modulation level of the drive is normally limited to unity giving an output voltage equivalent to the drive input voltage minus voltage
drops within the drive. If the motor rated voltage is set at the same level as the supply voltage some pulse deletion will occur as the drive output
voltage approaches the rated voltage level. If Pr 5.20 is set to On(1) the modulator will allow over modulation, so that as the output frequency
increases beyond the rated frequency the voltage continues to increase above the rated voltage. The modulation depth will increase beyond unity
producing trapezoidal waveforms. This can be used for example to get slightly better performance above rated speed. The disadvantage is that the
machine current will be distorted as the modulation depth increases above unity, and will contain a significant amount of low order odd harmonics of
the fundamental output frequency.

Due to various effects in the drive inverter a voltage offset must be produced before any current flows. To obtain good performance at low frequencies
where the machine terminal voltage is small this offset must be taken into account. The value shown in Pr 5.23 is this offset given in line to line rms
volts. It is not possible for the user to measure this voltage easily, and so the automatic measurement procedure should be used (see Pr 5.14 on page

The drive thermal protection scheme (see Pr 5.18 on page 80) reduces the switching frequency automatically when necessary to prevent the drive
from overheating. It is possible to disable this feature by setting this bit parameter to On(1). If the feature is disabled the drive will trip immediately on
O.ht1 when the IGBT temperature gets too high.
This is only operational with the IGBT junction temperature (Pr 7.34).

Once modes 3 or 4 have begun the drive must go through the ready state before being restarted either by stopping, tripping or being disabled.
Once DC injection braking has started, the drive cannot be restarted unless the drive is tripped or disabled.
The drive will enter one of the above stopping modes when the enable, run forward, run reverse, run or not stop terminals are opened, depending on
the programmed terminal configuration.
When the enable terminal is opened, the drive will always enter the coast to stop mode.
There is a delay of 65ms in the drives software when switching from run forward to run reverse or vice-versa. This delay is to allow the direction of
motor rotation to be changed without the drive entering one of the above selected stopping mode.
During each of the stopping mode sequences, there are two distinct phases:
•decelerating to stop
•stopped
Mode 1: Coast to stop
Pr 6.01 = 0
Phase 1
The output bridge of the drive is disabled.

The drive cannot be re-enabled for 2 seconds.
The 2 seconds delay in phase 2 allows the rotor flux to decay before the drive is allowed to be re-enabled. This 2 second time cannot be adjusted.
Mode 2: Ramp to stop
Pr 6.01 = 1 (default)
Phase 1
The drive will ramp down to zero frequency under the control of the selected ramp mode (Pr 2.04) in the time set by the deceleration rate.

Mode 3: Ramp to stop + timed DC injection braking
Pr 6.01 = 2
Phase 1
The drive will ramp down to zero frequency under the control of the selected ramp mode (Pr 2.04) in the time set by the deceleration rate.
Phase 2
Then DC current is injected into the motor at a level specified by Pr 6.06 and for a time specified by Pr 6.07.
Normally when this mode is used, phase 1 decelerates the motor to a stop and phase 2 locks the rotor shaft. This can be useful when trying to fully
stop an inertia load i.e. fan.
Mode 4: Injection braking stop with detection of zero speed
Pr 6.01 = 3
Phase 1
A low frequency current at 5Hz is injected into the motor at the level programmed by Pr 6.06, this will have the effect of slowing down the motor. When
the motor reaches 5Hz, the software goes into phase 2.
When the drive injects the low frequency current at 5Hz, it detects that regen current is flowing. When the motor reaches 5Hz, this regen current stops
and therefore the drive knows that the motor is at 5Hz.
Phase 2
DC current is injected into the motor at a level specified by Pr 6.06 and for a time specified by Pr 6.07.
The drive automatically senses low speed so therefore it adjusts the injection time to suit the application. If the injection current level is too small, the
drive will not sense low speed and it will sit at 5Hz (normally 50-60% is required in Pr 6.06).
Mode 5: Time DC injection braking stop
Pr 6.01 = 4
Phase 1
DC current is injected into the motor at a level specified by Pr 6.06 and for a time specified by Pr 6.07.
Phase 2
DC current is injected into the motor at a level specified by Pr 6.06 for 1 second.
The minimum total DC injection braking time is 1 second for phase 1 and 1 second for phase 2. Therefore the minimum DC injection braking time is 2
seconds.
Normally, the combination of the DC injection braking current level and injection braking time during phase 1 is used to stop the motor from rotating.
Then the 1 second DC injection braking in phase 2 is used to lock the motor shaft.
If the DC injection braking current level is set to a high level in Pr 6.06, the less time is required in Pr 6.07 to stop the motor. If the DC injection braking
current is set to a low level, the more time is required in Pr 6.07 to stop the motor.

There is no mains loss detection and the drive operates normally only as long as the DC bus voltage remains within specification (i.e. >Vuu). Once
the voltage falls below Vuu a UU trip occurs and this will reset itself if the voltage rises again above VuuRestart in the following table.

The action taken by the drive is the same as for ride through mode, except the ramp down rate is at least as fast as the deceleration ramp setting and
the drive will continue to decelerate to 0Hz even if the mains is re-applied.
Depending on whether the mains is re-applied during the ramp down phase will depend on what happens next:
•If the mains is not re-applied during the ramp down phase, the drive will trip on UU after it has reached 0Hz.
•If the mains is re-applied during the ramp down phase, when the drive reaches 0Hz and depending on the state of the control terminals, the drive
will either go into the 'rd' ready state or the drive will run back up to set speed.
Normally the controlling system will see that the mains has been lost and even though it has been re-applied, the controller will remove the run
terminal so that when it reaches 0Hz, it will go into the 'rd' state.
If normal or timed injection braking is selected, the drive will use ramp mode to stop on loss of the supply. If ramp stop followed by injection braking is

The drive detects mains loss when the DC bus voltage falls below Vml
the DC bus level at Vml
bus voltage above the detection threshold Vml
. This causes the motor to decelerate at a rate that increases as the speed falls. If the mains is re-applied it will force the DC

and the drive will continue to operate normally. The output of the mains loss controller is a current
1
. The drive then enters a mode where a closed-loop controller attempts to hold

demand that is fed into the current control system and therefore the gain parameters Pr 4.13 and Pr 4.14 must be set up for optimum control. See
Pr 4.13 and Pr 4.14 on page 67 for set-up details.

3Detect negative frequencies only
When the drive is enabled with this bit at 0, the output frequency starts at zero and ramps to the required reference. When the drive is enabled and
this parameter has a non-zero value, the drive performs a start-up test to determine the motor speed and then sets the initial output frequency to the
synchronous frequency of the motor. The test is not carried out, and the motor frequency starts at zero, if the run command is given when the drive is
in a stopping state, or when the drive is first enabled after power up with UR I voltage mode, or when the run command is given in UR S voltage mode.
For the test to operate correctly it is important that the stator resistance (Pr 5.17, Pr 21.12) is set up correctly. This applies even if fixed boost (Fd) or
square law (SrE) voltage mode is being used. The test uses the rated magnetising current of the motor during the test, therefore the rated current
(Pr 5.07, Pr 21.07 and Pr 5.10, Pr 21.10) and power factor should be set to values close to those of the motor, although these parameters are not as
critical as the stator resistance.
Stationary lightly loaded motors with low inertia may move slightly during the test. The direction of the movement is undefined. Restrictions may be
placed on the direction of this movement and on the frequencies detected by the drive as in the above table.

0: OFF Low DC bus operation disabled
1: On Low DC bus operation enabled
The Low DC bus operation is designed to enable 3 phase 400VAC (medium voltage) Commander SKs to be run off a single phase 200VAC (low
voltage) supply in the event of a primary 400VAC supply failure.
When the primary supply fails, the back up supply can be switched in. This will allow the drive to control the motor at a reduced power, for example to
move an elevator up or down to the next floor.
There is no de-rating as such when low DC bus operation is enabled however the power will be limited by the reduced voltage and ripple generated
on the DC bus of the drive.
When Pr 6.10 is enabled and the DC bus voltage is less than 330VDC, the drives display will flash Lo.AC (Low AC) to indicate that it is supplied from
a low voltage back up supply.
This mode is designed for use with a backup power supply and not for using a 400VAC (medium voltage) Commander SK in a 200VAC (low voltage)
application. As shown in the following diagram, the drives power down save parameters are saved at point 2. If the drive was to be used on a 200VAC
supply, the DC bus will never fall through point 2 and power down save parameters will not be saved.
Not available on Commander SK size 2 to 6.

This parameter permanently enables the Stop key on the drive such that the drive will always stop when the stop switch is pressed. If keypad mode is
selected this has no effect because the stop key is automatically enabled.
The sequencer logic has been designed so that pressing the stop key, whether the stop key is enabled or not, does not make the drive change from
a stopped to a running condition. As the stop key is also used to reset trips this means that if the stop key is pressed when the drive is tripped, the trip
will be reset but the drive will not start. This is done as follows.
Sequencer latching not enabled (Pr 6.40 = OFF)
If the stop key is pressed when the stop key is enabled (Pr 6.12 = On) or when the drive is tripped the sequencer run is removed, and so the drive
stops or remains stopped respectively. The sequencer run can only then be reapplied after at least on of the following conditions occurs.

The drive sequencer uses bits (Pr 6.30 to Pr 6.39) as inputs rather than looking at the terminals directly. This allows the user to define the use of each
terminal according to the requirements of each application.
Although these parameters are R/W, they are volatile and not stored on power down. Every time the drive powers up, they will be reset to OFF (0).
The drive uses these sequencer bits to control the operation of the drive providing the keypad reference has not been selected. If the keypad
reference has been selected, all the sequencing bits (apart from Pr 6.33 Forward/Reverse) are disregarded such that only the keypad keys are used
to control the drive. Pr 6.33 is still enabled to allow the motor direction to be changed by a terminal connection when in keypad control. If the keypad
reference has been selected, the run and stop keys are always operational.
The drive checks the state of the 'Run Forward' and 'Run Reverse' bits first. If either are set to On (1) but not both, then the drive will run in the
commanded direction. If both are found to be OFF (0) then the sequencer looks at the 'Run' bit and if it is set then the drive runs in the direction
commanded by the 'Forward/Reverse' bit (OFF (0) = forward, On (1) = reverse).
If the 'Jog' bit is set, the sequencer sets Pr 1.13 to On (1) to select the jog reference.
Pr 6.04 has a number of pre-determined set-ups that change the functions of the terminals. If the required set-up is not available in one of the predetermined set-ups, Pr 6.04 can be set to USEr to allow the desired set-up to be implemented.
Setting Pr 6.40 'Enable sequencer latching' to On (1) allows the Run Forward, Run Reverse and Run bits to become active from momentary inputs.
When sequencer latching is enabled from the setting of Pr 6.04, a /Stop input must also be applied by using a digital input programmed to Pr 6.39.
When the /Stop input becomes inactive, each of the three latches are reset. When the latches are disabled, they become transparent.
Pr 6.01 = mode 1 or 2 selected
As default, terminals B5 and B6 are configured as Run Forward and Run Reverse terminals. When either the Run Forward or Run Reverse is
selected, there is no delay (apart from normal sampling delays) before the drive will run in the direction requested. If the drive is running forward or
running reverse, there is also no delay when the run forward terminal or run reverse terminal is opened to stop the drive. Also, there is no delay if the
run forward terminal is opened and the run reverse terminal closed or vice-versa to allow a change of motor direction.
Pr 6.01 = mode 0, 3 or 4 selected
When either the Run Forward or Run Reverse is selected, there is no delay (apart from normal sampling delays) before the drive will run in the
direction requested. If the drive is running forward or running reverse, there is a delay of 60ms from when the terminal is opened until the command
is carried out by the drive. Also, there is a delay of 60ms from when the run forward terminal is opened, to when the run reverse terminal must be
closed or vice-versa to allow a change of motor direction. If the run reverse terminal or vice-versa is not closed within this 60ms, the drive will enter
the programmed stopping mode.
The delay of 60ms is to allow the direction of motor rotation to be changed without entering a stopping mode i.e. if DC injection braking mode was
selected and there was no 60ms delay, when the run forward terminal was opened, the drive would immediately go into the DC injection braking
mode rather then ramp down and ramp back up in the reverse direction.
This 60ms delay can cause problems in some applications where a very fast response is required between motor direction changes when coast to
stop or DC injection braking stopping modes is set.
One solution to the above is to set Pr 6.04 to mode 2 or 3 so that terminal B6 is set up as a forward/reverse terminal. This eliminates the 60ms delay
when changing from forward to reverse or reverse to forward in all modes.
The following diagram shows the main operation of the sequencer in normal terminal and keypad modes. The diagram shows normal terminal control
where the sequencer bits are used as inputs and keypad mode where the keypad keys are used as inputs.
In normal terminal operation, the sequencer has been designed to operate with run Forward and Run Reverse controls, and can be set up to
accommodate a Run and Forward/Reverse selector.
Run Forward / Run Reverse Configuration
If Run Forward or Run Reverse control is required, then bits Pr 6.30 and Pr 6.32 should be used to control the drive (digital inputs should not be
routed to Run and Forward/Reverse bits Pr 6.33 and Pr 6.34)
Run - Forward/Reverse Configuration
If Run control with Forward/Reverse selector is required, then bits Pr 6.33 and Pr 6.34 should be used to control the drive (digital inputs should not be
routed to the Run Forward and Run Reverse bits Pr 6.30 and Pr 6.32)

The Run, Run Forward or Run Reverse bits can be made latching by setting bit Pr 6.40. The /Stop bit Pr 6.39 should be set to On (1) to allow the
sequencing bits to be latched. If the /Stop bit is zero, all latches are cleared and held at zero.
Jog
To allow the drive to run at jog speed, the Run Forward, Run Reverse or Run inputs must remain inactive while the Jog input is made active (drive
must be enabled when enable input selected). If a Run command is given while the jog input is active, the drive will run at the normal speed reference
selected in Menu 1. If the jog input is made active when the run input is already active, the drive will not act upon the jog input until the run input has
been deactivated.
With a /Stop input Pr 6.39, a change from a logic 0 to a 1 does not cause a trip reset. Also, Pr 6.39 is not automatically set to On (1) if a terminal is
not programmed as a /Stop terminal.

Bits 0 to 7 & 9: sequencing control
When the control word is enabled (Pr 6.43 = On), and the Auto/manual bit (bit7) is also set to one (Pr 6.42), bits 0 to 6 of the control word become
active. A hardware enable must also be active (Pr 6.29 = On). The equivalent parameters are not modified by these bits, but become inactive when
the equivalent bits in the control word are active. When the bits are active they replace the functions of the equivalent parameters. For example, if
Pr 6.43 = On and bit 7 of Pr 6.42 = On the drive enable is no longer controlled by Pr 6.15, but by bit 0 of the control word. If either Pr 6.43 = OFF, or
bit 7 of Pr 6.42 = OFF, the drive enable is controlled by Pr 6.15.
Bit 8: Analog/preset reference
When the control word is enabled (Pr 6.43) bit 8 of the control word becomes active. (Bit 7 of the control word has no effect on this function.) The state
of bit 8 is written to Pr 1.42. With default drive settings this selects analog reference 1 (bit 8 = 0) or preset reference 1 (bit 8 = 1). If any other drive
