m WARNING
Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. When possible, disconnect
the voltage input from the drive before adjusting the trimpots. If the trimpots must be
adjusted with power applied, use insulated tools and the appropriate personal protection equipment. BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury.
All drives have six user-adjustable trimpots: Torque Limit (TORQUE), Acceleration (ACCEL),
Deceleration (DECEL), Regulation (IR COMP), Minimum Speed (MIN SPD), and Maximum
Speed (MAX SPD). Each drive is factory calibrated to its maximum current rating. Readjust
the calibration trimpot settings to accommodate lower current rated motors.
All adjustments increase with CW rotation, and decrease with CCW rotation. Use a non-
metallic screwdriver for calibration. Each trimpot is identied on the printed circuit board.
Refer to Figure 5 (page 11) for trimpot locations and Figure 6 (page 16) for typical TORQUE
LIMIT and IR COMP settings.

Calibration procedure
Calibrate the drive using the following procedure:
Set the MIN SPD, IR COMP, ACCEL and DECEL trimpots to zero (full CCW).
1.
2.
Set the TORQUE trimpot to maximum (full CW).
3.
Set the MAX SPD trimpot to midrange (approximate 12 o’clock position).
4.
Turn the speed adjust potentiometer on front cover to zero.
5.
Apply power to the drive.
6.
Calibrate the trimpots as follows:
MINIMUM SPEED (MIN SPD)
The MIN SPD setting determines the motor speed when the speed adjust potentiometer is
turned full CCW or reference signal is at its minimum. It is factory set to zero speed.
To calibrate, turn the speed adjust potentiometer full CCW or reference signal is at its
minimum. Adjust the MIN SPD trimpot until the motor has stopped, or is running at the
desired minimum speed.
Note: When using MC10-PCM drives in signal mode, calibrate SIG MIN rst. Refer to
page 20.
Calibration 13
MAXIMUM SPEED (MAX SPD)
The MAX SPD setting determines the motor speed when the speed adjust potentiometer
is turned full CW or reference signal is at its maximum. It is factory set for maximum rated
speed.
To calibrate, set the MAX SPD trimpot full CCW. Turn the speed adjust potentiometer full
CW or reference signal is at its maximum. Adjust the MAX SPD trimpot until the desired
maximum motor speed is reached.
Note: Check the MIN SPD and MAX SPD adjustments after recalibrating to verify that the
motor runs at the desired minimum and maximum speed. When using the MC10-PCM
drives in signal mode, calibrate SIG MAX rst. Refer to page 20.
REGULATION (IR COMP)
The IR COMP setting determines the degree to which motor speed is held constant as the
motor load changes. It is factory set for optimum motor regulation.
Recalibrate the IR COMP setting when using a lower horsepower motor. Refer to the
recommended IR COMP settings in Figure 6 (page 16), or recalibrate using the following
procedure:
If the motor does not maintain set speed as the load changes, gradually rotate the
IR COMP trimpot CW. If the motor oscillates (overcompensation), the IR COMP trimpot may
be set too high. Turn the IR COMP trimpot CCW to stabilize the motor.
14 Calibration
TORQUE LIMIT (TORQUE)
m WARNING
Although TORQUE is set to 150% of drive nameplate current rating, continuous operation beyond that rating may damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the
rating, contact your Minarik representative for assistance.
The TORQUE setting determines the maximum torque for accelerating and driving the
motor. TORQUE is factory set at 150% of maximum drive current. You must recalibrate
the TORQUE setting if using a lower current rated motor. See Figure 6 (page 16) for typical
TORQUE and IR COMP settings.
With no power applied to the drive, connect a DC ammeter in series with the motor
1.
armature.
Set the TORQUE trimpot to full CCW.
2.
Carefully lock the motor armature. Ensure that the motor is rmly mounted.
3.
Apply line power. The motor should be stopped.
4.
Set the speed potentiometer or reference signal to maximum speed. The motor should
5.
remain stopped.
Slowly rotate the TORQUE trimpot clockwise (CW) until the ammeter reads 150% of
6.
maximum motor armature current.
Set the speed adjust potentiometer or reference signal to zero speed.
7.
Remove power from the drive.
8.
Remove the lock from the motor shaft.
9.
Remove the ammeter in series with the motor armature.
10.
Calibration 15
ACCELERATION (ACCEL)
The ACCEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a higher speed. See
Specications on page 1 for approximate acceleration times. The ACCEL setting is factory
set to its minimum value (full CCW).
Turn the ACCEL trimpot CW to increase the acceleration time, and CCW to decrease the
acceleration time.
DECELERATION (DECEL)
The DECEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a lower speed. See
Specications on page 1 for approximate decelerating times. The DECEL setting is factory
set to its minimum value (full CCW).
Turn the DECEL trimpot CW to increase the deceleration time, and CCW to decrease the
deceleration time.
Calibration procedure conclusion

Operation
m WARNING
Change voltage switch settings only when the drive is disconnected from AC line
voltage. Make sure both switches are set to their correct position. If the switches are
improperly set to a lower voltage position, the motor will not run at full voltage. If the
switches are improperly set to a higher voltage position, the motor will overspeed,
which may cause motor damage.
Before applying power
Set voltage switch SW501 to either 115 or 230 to match the AC line voltage
•
(see Figure 4, page 9).
Set voltage switch SW502 to either 90 or 180 to match the maximum armature voltage
•
(see Figure 4, page 9).
Verify that no conductive material is present on the printed circuit board.
•
If using a 90 VDC or 130 VDC motor with 230 VAC line voltage, derate the nameplate
•
motor torque by at least 30%.

Application Notes
m WARNING
Decelerating to minimum speed, inhibit operation, or coasting to a stop is recommended for frequent starts and stops. Do not use any of these methods for emergency stopping. They may not stop a drive that is malfunctioning. Removing the AC line
power (both L1 and L2) is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping.
Inhibit circuit
Maintianing a connection between the inhibit pins (Figure 7, page 22) causes the motor
to coast to minimum speed. Removing the connection between the inhibit pins allow the
motor to accelerate to the speed set by the speed adjust potentiometer.
Minarik offers two accessory plug harnesses for connecting to the INHIBIT terminals: part
number 201-0024 [inhibit plug with 18 inches (46 cm) leads]; and part number 201-0079
[inhibit plug with 36 inches (91 cm) leads].
Twist inhibit wires and separate them from other power-carrying wires or sources of
electrical noise. Use sheilded cable if the inhibit wires are longer than 18 inches (46 cm).
If shielded cable is used, ground only one end of the shield to Earth ground. Do not ground
both ends of the shield.

Decelerating to minimum speed
The switch shown in Figure 8 may be used to decelerate a motor to minimum speed.
Closing the switch between S1 and S2 decelerates the motor from set speed to minimum
speed determined by the MIN SPD trimpot setting. If the MIN SPD trimpot is set full CCW,
the motor decelerates to zero speed when the switch between S1 and S2 is closed. The
DECEL trimpot setting determines the rate at which the drive decelerates. By opening
the switch, the motor accelerates to set speed at a rate determined by the ACCEL trimpot
setting.

Dynamic Braking
m WARNING
Wait for the motor to completly stop before swtiching it back to the RUN position. This
will prevent high armature currents from damaging the motor or drive.
Dynamic braking may be used to rapidly stop a motor (Figure 9, page 25). For the
RUN/BRAKE switch, use a two-pole, two-position switch rated for at least the maximum DC
armature voltage and maximum braking current. For the dynamic brake resistor; use a 40
watt minimum, high power, wirewound resistor.
Sizing the dynamic brake resistor depends on load inertia, motor voltage, and braking time.
Use a lower-value, higher-wattage dynamic brake resistor to stop a motor more rapidly.

Leader-follower application
In this application, use a Process Control Module (PCM4) to monitor the speed of the
leader motor (Figure 15). The PCM4 isolates the leader motor from the follower drive, and
outputs a voltage proportional to the leader motor armature voltage. The follower drive
uses this voltage reference to set the speed of the follower motor. An optional ratio
potentiomter may be used to scale the PCM output voltage.
