Introduction 1-1
1.3 Configuration layers
1.5 Operating mode
The Drive has three layers of configuration, starting from the base layer (1) as follows:
1. Default configuration
2. User-interface mode
3. Macro configuration
Each of the upper layers (2, 3) is superimposed on its preceeding layer.
1.4 Default configurations
The Drive has a separate default configuration for the
AC supply conditions in Europe or in the USA. These
two default configurations are distinguished as follows:
European USA
The Drive is despatched from the factory in the appropriate default configuration for the continent in which it is to be sold. The default configuration is Macro 0 (described in Macro configurations later in this chapter).
The default configuration also defines the following functions:
Europe
Ability to select positive-logic for the digital
Ability to adjust the current-loop PI gains
USA
Ability to select digital control by two or
Frequency demand indication
(These functions apply to Macro 0 only.)
Key used in this User Guide
AC supply voltage at 50Hz
AC supply voltage at 60Hz
control inputs
three wires
For use with standard AC induction motors.
The Drive applies power to the motor at frequencies which are controlled by the user. The motor speed is a result of the output frequency of the Drive and slip due to the mechanical load.
The Drive can power a number of motors connected in parallel (each motor must be protected against overload; this is described in the Installation Guide).
The Drive can improve the performance of the motor by applying the following:
Slip compensation
Fixed boost or Open-loop Vector operation
Fixed boost applies a fixed voltage boost at low
frequencies. Open-loop Vector operation maintains almost
constant flux by dynamically adjusting the motor voltage according to the load on the motor.
1.6 User-interface modes
The motor can be started and stopped, the direction of rotation reversed and the speed changed by operation of the Drive in either of the following user-interface modes:
Terminal mode
Applying signals from electrical contacts, a system controller or PLC to digital and analog inputs on the Drive.
For the USA default configuration, the Drive can be configured for digital control by momentary contacts.
Keypad mode
Manual operation of the keypad on the front panel of the Drive. Minimal signal connections are made to the Drive.
The following key denotes the default configuration:
EUR> 50Hz AC supply (Europe) USA> 60Hz
When no key is stated, the information applies to both default configurations.
AC supply (USA)
1-2 Introduction
Commander GP User Guide
Issue code: gpxu2
1.7 Macro configurations
The Drive can be used to control the motor speed in various ways for different types of application. To reduce the number of adjustments to the Drive for each type of application, eight macro configurations (0 to 7) are available.
Macro 3 Preset frequencies
Four preset frequencies that are selected by external contacts.
The macro configuration can be used in Terminal mode only.
Each macro configuration requires specific signal connections to be made to the Drive.
The macro configurations are as follows:
Macro 0 General purpose (default configuration)
Analog frequency control for general-purpose applications.
The output frequency of the Drive is controlled by a frequency reference. The motor speed will follow the frequency reference so long as the maximum permissible output current of the Drive is not exceeded. These principles also apply to all other macro configurations except Macro 4.
The macro configuration can be used in either Keypad or Terminal mode.
The frequency can be controlled in either of the following ways...
Terminal mode: An analog frequency
reference signal applied to the Drive
Keypad mode: By a user pressing keys on
the front panel of the Drive
Macro 1
Easy mode
Frequency control for basic applications. This is similar to Macro 0, except, for simplicity, fewer adjustments are required.
The macro configuration can be used in either Keypad or Terminal mode.
The principles of controlling motor speed are the same as for Macro 0.
The principles of controlling motor speed are the same as for Macro 0.
Macro 4 Torque control
The motor torque is defined by a torque demand. The motor speed will vary continuously as a result of the difference between the load torque and the torque demand up to a maximum speed which is defined by a speed over-ride level.
The torque demand is supplied by an analog torque reference signal that is applied to the Drive.
The macro configuration can be used in Terminal mode only.
Macro 5 PID control
The Drive is operated with a frequency reference and an analog feedback device in order to dynamically maintain the speed to a user-defined set-point under PID control.
The macro configuration can be used in Terminal mode only.
The principles of controlling motor speed are the same as for Macro 0.
Macro 6
Axis-limit control
Axis-limit control is used for applications which require the process to be automatically stopped when a position limit has been reached. A bipolar or unipolar frequency reference can be used.
The macro configuration can be used in Terminal mode only.
Macro 2 Motorized potentiometer
The frequency is controlled incrementally by operation of up and down contacts.
The macro configuration can be used in Terminal mode only.
The principles of controlling motor speed are the same as for Macro 0.
Commander GP User Guide Issue code: gpxu2
The principles of controlling motor speed are the same as for Macro 0.
Macro 7
Brake control
Frequency control with brake control for crane or hoist applications.
The macro configuration can be used in Terminal mode or Keypad mode.
The principles of controlling motor speed are the same as for Macro 0.
Introduction 1-3
1.8 Plug-in option modules
Operation of the Drive can be extended by the use of plug-in option modules. The following modules are available from the supplier of the Drive; an appropriate User Guide is included with each module:
Small option modules
UD50 Additional I/O UD55 Cloning (parameter copying)
Large option modules
UD71 RS232/RS485 serial
communications
1.9 Serial communications
The Drive can be configured and fully controlled from a system controller or PLC operating on a RS232 or a 4-wire RS485 serial communications link. A Basic serial communications large option module must be fitted in the Drive. More information can be obtained from a Drive Centre or distributor listed at the end of this User Guide.
Serial communications can be used in conjunction with Terminal mode or Keypad mode.

Isolation
Warning
For instructions on removing the terminal covers, see Mounting the Drive and RFI filter in Chapter 2 Installing the Drive in the Installation Guide.
The control circuits and terminals are isolated from the power circuits only by basic insulation to IEC664–1. The installer must ensure that all external control circuits are separated from human contact by at least one layer of insulation rated for use at the
AC supply voltage.
Notes
Keep a note of changes
When changing the values of parameters, make a note of the new values in case they need to be entered again.
Saving the changes
For new parameter-values to apply after
AC supply to the Drive is interrupted,
the new values must be saved. This is described in Saving new parameter-values in Appendix A Programming Instructions.

4. When connecting a motor to the Drive, observe
the following:
Preferably the motor should be identical to
the motor that is to be used in the application, but this is not essential.
The motor shaft must not be attached to
any equipment, or exposed.
5. No motor thermistor connection is required at
this stage, but a thermistor will be required later if the Drive is to be operated in any macro configuration except Macros 1 and 5. When Macro 1 or Macro 5 is enabled, the thermistor is ignored by the Drive. (Instructions for connecting a motor thermistor to the signal connector are given for each macro configuration in Chapter 3 Setting Up the Drive.)

2.5 How macro configurations change the arrangement of the Menu 0 parameters
Note
Do not confuse the term Macro with the term Menu. Menu 0 contains parameters; macro configurations re-define some of these parameters to perform specific functions. Menu 0 always exists, but is affected by the macro configuration that is enabled.
Only one macro configuration can be enabled at a time.
Menu 0 contains 51 parameters which are arranged in four groups, as shown in Figure 2–8.

2.6 Initial setting up
When Macro 0 is enabled, the re-programmable parameters have their default functions.
Macro 1
When Macro 1 Easy Mode is enabled, none of the re-programmable parameters are available.
Macros 2 to 7
When one of these macro configurations is enabled, the functions of some re-programmable parameters are specific to the macro configuration.
Other factors that affect the re-programmable parameters
In addition to the changes caused by the macro configurations, the functions of some re-programmable parameters are changed by the default configuration of the Drive (EUR or USA)
These are are shown in Appendix D Menu 0
Parameters.
Where to find information on parameters
The functions of the parameters are listed for each macro configuration in Chapter 3 Setting Up the Drive.
The functions of the parameters for each macro configuration are described in detail in Appendix D Menu 0 Parameters.
Noting the user values
A parameter table for each macro configuration in Chapter 3 Setting Up the Drive has a column for you to note the values entered in the parameters.
Restoring the Drive to a default configuration

When entering values, make sure they are relevant to the motor that is to be used. The default values in the Drive should not be relied upon.
The motor parameters should be set to within 10% of the required values for the motor. Failure to do this may result in poor response.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in parameter
0.46 Motor – rated current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
Keep a note of the values given to the motor parameters, since motor parameters are restored to their default values when the Drive is restored to a default configuration (this must be done if the Drive has been used with Macro 2 to 7 enabled and a different macro configuration is to be enabled)

The value of FLC is given in the following table.
Set parameter 0.06 Current limit at the required percentage of rated motor torque (or rated active torque-producing current).
The current limit is used to protect the motor and Drive from excessive current and applies under motoring and regenerating conditions. When the Drive is operating in torque control, the current limit limits the value of torque demand.
The total motor current comprises a magnetizing current and an active (torque-producing) current. Since the maximum torque produced by the motor is proportional to the value of parameter 0.06
Current limit, this current limit is a torque-producing current limit.
When 0.06 is set at its maximum value, the maximum total motor current is as follows:
150% x FLC
Where FLC is the rated (full-load) current of the Drive.
