1Introduction
1.2 Model sizes
This User Guide refers to the models listed below.
1.1 How this User Guide
can help you
If this is your first encounter with a
Commander Gp Drive, read this User Guide
before referring to the accompanying
Installation Guide.
This User Guide is arranged on a step-by-step basis
to lead you through the following:
• Learning how to operate the Commander
Gp (Drive)
• When to refer to the Installation Guide
• Setting up the Commander Gp for basic
applications
Advanced programming of the
Commander Gp
For advanced programming of the Commander Gp,
refer to the Commander Gp Advanced User Guide. This
contains descriptions of all the advanced
parameters, as well as additional information, and
can be obtained from the Drive Centres and
distributors listed at the end of this User Guide.
The advanced parameters in software version
V03.01.07 onward can be accessed by use of the
UD71 Basic serial communications large option module
(see Serial communications later in this chapter).
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)

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 torquereference 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.
Introduction1-3
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:
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.

necessary training or
experience.
If this is the first time the
Drive has been operated,
ensure that no damage or
safety hazard could arise from
the motor starting
unexpectedly.
The motor must be fixed down
and the shaft guarded against
inadvertent contact.
Do not change parameter
values without careful
consideration; wrong values
may cause damage or a safety
hazard.
Stored charge
Warning
The Drive contains capacitors
that remain charged to a
potentially lethal voltage after
AC supply has been
the
disconnected. If the Drive has
been energized, the
must be isolated at least
ten minutes before work may
continue.
AC supply
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.

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

protection of the motor and
the safety of the system.
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

Autotune
Autotune is a sequence of tests performed by the
Drive. The results of the tests are subsequently
used by the Drive for controlling the motor.
Autotune should be used after the motor
parameters have been entered, but before the Drive
is used. Normally (and if the motor is not changed),
Autotune needs performing only once.
During the following
procedures, the Drive will

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.
