1.5 Safety Information

ATTENTION:Do not run other Windows or DOS software applications

while you are using the CS3000 software for drive control. Unexpected

The CS3000 software operates as a Windows 3.1 application. It cannot preempt other applications or functions in Windows and, therefore, cannot guarantee a response time to user input actions. Using other applications while controlling a drive with the CS3000 software can tie up PC resources and cause drive commands to be delayed. To prevent drive commands (run, stop, and jog) from unexpectedly executing, the CS3000 software specifies a time-out period (approximately 2 seconds) when it establishes a link with the drive. While the link is established, the CS3000 software sends messages to the drive to validate the link. If a message fails to reach the drive within the time-out period because program execution has been delayed, the drive invalidates the link. If the link becomes invalid, the drive does not accept drive commands. If the drive was running, it stops, and a serial fault is generated.

Before a drive control command is sent to the drive, the drive’s status is checked to validate the link. If communication between the CS3000 software and the drive have been interrupted and you have selected a drive command, the command is not sent and a message is displayed.

The time-out period is also used by the Parameter Monitor and Download functions, both of which could be running while the Drive Control Window is open. If the link becomes invalid while these functions are running, a message will be displayed in the Drive Control window before the link is re-established. When you select the Download command while the Drive Control window is open, you cannot execute drive command controls until the download is complete.

machine motion could result. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

1.6 Purpose of This Manual

This manual describes how to use the Control and Configuration software (CS3000) to configure GV3000, Liqui-Flo, and FlexPak 3000 drives. Refer to the appropriate drive instruction manual for information about parameters and RS-232 connection options.

1.7 Intended Audience

This manual is written for those who must install the CS3000 software and use the software to configure and run GV3000, Liqui-Flo, and FlexPak drives. This manual assumes you are familiar with Windows and makes references to it throughout.

You will need to know the basic Windows functions before using the CS3000 software.

Tuning GV3000 and Liqui-Flo

Vector Drives

Important: The drive tuning functions are available only for GV3000 and Liqui-Flo

drives using vector regulation. If you have a GV3000 or Liqui-Flo drive using volts/hertz regulation, or a FlexPak 3000 drive, you cannot use these functions.

The drive tuning functions aid in the setup of drive tuning parameters. You should set up the drive (except the drive tuning parameters) before performing drive tuning. You should also save your drive configuration before tuning the drive. The drive must be connected to the motor to perform some of these functions and the motor nameplate information must be entered correctly.

These functions are selected under Drive|Tuning in the CS3000 main menu. If the drive tuning functions are not supported for the selected drive, the menu item is grayed.

When Drive|Tuning is selected from the CS3000 main menu, the menu appears as follows:

Section 5.1 describes saving the drive configuration. Sections 5.2 and 5.3 describe how to perform Standard tuning and Custom tuning for GV3000 and Liqui-Flo vector drives.

5.1 Saving the Drive Configurat ion Before Tuning

Some of the tuning tests temporarily modify drive parameters in order to run the test. If the test completes normally, the drive tuning procedure restores the values of these parameters. If power is lost, or if communication between the personal computer and the drive is lost, the original parameter settings in the drive could be lost. Before beginning the Standard tuning or Custom tuning procedures, you are prompted to upload the drive configuration (the same as described in section 4.1) and save it in a file (the same as described in section 3.7). If needed, this saved configuration can be downloaded to the drive to restore its configuration.

5.2 Using Standard Tuning

Standard tuning is designed for applications with normal performance requirements. The tuning process is largely automatic. You will be presented a series of simple dialog boxes or message boxes that explain each step, and will be prompted to verify and accept the system-generated values.

of damping and yields the greatest overshoot to a step in reference, and 100 is the highest amount of damping and yields the least overshoot.

Step 3. Click Calculate Gains.

If any of these values is out of range, the valid range is displayed and the cursor appears on the field containing the error.

The entered response values, the overshoot damping value, and motor data are used to calculate U.014, U.015, U.019 and U.020.

The values for U.014, U.015, U.019 and U.020 will be displayed.

Step 4. Click Assign to write the torque/flux loop data to the drive.

5.3.3 Tuning the Speed Loop

The speed loop is tuned by adjusting the speed loop proportional and integral gains (U.012 and U.013). Speed loop tuning is a function of the inertia and desired bandwidth. The inertia of the motor and connected load can be set manually if known. When you select Speed, the Drive Tuning dialog box appears as shown in figure 5.5.

Control and Configuration Software V6.1

Step 2. Enter the desired speed response and overshoot damping values. Step 3. Click Calculate Gains. The speed loop proportional gain (U.012) and integral

gain (U.013) are calculated from speed response, overshoot damping percentage, inertia, horsepower, rated RPM, and top RPM.

You can also manually modify U.012 and/or U.013 by clicking on either parameter and then entering a new value.

Step 4. Click Assign to write the speed loop data to the drive.

5.3.4 Using the Profile Feature To Check Drive Tuning

You can use the speed profile generator to facilitate tuning verification and adjustment of drive tuning. Once started, the speed profile generator will alternate between two speed setpoints. You can specify the speed setpoints, acceleration time, deceleration time, and duration at each setpoint. The speed versus time diagram in the profile dialog box, as shown in figure 5.6, indicates how the six profile variables are applied. After starting the profile, the PC Scope feature can be used to monitor torque and/or speed response to verify or fine-tune the response as desired.

When you select Profile, the Drive Tuning dialog box appears as shown in figure 5.6.

Use the following procedure to check drive tuning. Step 1. Verify that the load is connected to the motor shaft. Step 2. Enter values for Speed 1 and 2, Time 1 and 2, Accel and Decel.

Tuning GV3000 and Liqui-Flo Vector Drives

Use the Trigger and T rigger delay/position group boxes in the Trace Signal Setup dialog box to define a trigger that will begin a data acquisition. You do not need to set up a trigger if you plan to use Auto or Manual to acquire traces. See section 8.3 for more information.

To set up trigger, follow these steps: Step 1. Choose a drive signal you want to use as a trigger from the Signal list box.

Step 2. Choose the trigger operation (if desired) that causes the trigger condition by

using the Operation list box. The available trigger operations are determined by the drive type. Some examples of trigger operations are: less than, greater than, and equal to.

Step 3. Choose a trigger level that is to be used by the trigger operation. The units

and normalization depend upon the trigger signal.

Step 4. Choose a trigger position or delay by selecting the appropriate option and

entering a value.

To: Choose:

specify how many samples are displayed in the trace before and after the trigger

For a trigger position of zero percent, the trigger is at the beginning of the trace (all samples displayed were acquired after the trigger). For a trigger position of 100%, the trigger is at the end of the trace, a position of 50% is in the center, etc.

specify the amount of time between the trigger and the beginning of data acquisition.

The delay is measured in seconds.

9.3 Acquiring a Trace

Once you set up a trace, you must define how the trace is to be acquired. A trace can be acquired:

• continuously, regardless of a trigger condition

• continuously or once, as specified by a defined trigger Use the Trace menu or the radio buttons in the toolbar to define how a trace is to be

acquired.

To:

From the Trace menu, choose this

option, or click on this radio button:

continuously acquire trace data by sending a manual trigger

The trigger setup has no effect on the trace acquisition.

acquire trace data by sending a manual trigger to the drive

The trigger setup has no effect on the trace acquisition.

continuously acquire trace data based on the trigger setup

After the trace is uploaded and displayed, the trace acquisition is reenabled, and the cycle starts over. Trace data is acquired until you change the trace acquisition selection.

acquire a trace based on the trigger setup

The trace data is acquired when the trigger condition has been reached.

stop a trace acquisition in progress If an acquisi tion is no t in prog ress , the

trace display is frozen as it is.

9.4 Working with the Cursors

Cursors help you read the value at a specific point on a trace waveform to help you tune and troubleshoot the drive. PC Scope has two cursor types:

• Y cursors are positioned on a vertical value on the display

• T cursors are positioned on a horizontal or time value You can read actual data points where the waveform crosses the T cursors. These

values are labeled as@T1 and @T2. Because these are actual data points, you can use them for calculations. The Y cursor values are based on the scale of the trace display, so the value is determined by the display resolution and are not as accurate as the actual data points displayed as the @T1 and @T2 values.

9-8

Control and Configuration Software V6.1

9.4.1 Moving a Cursor

You can select a cursor by:

• clicking on the cursor label with the mouse

• using the Cursor menu

• using the [Tab] key Move the cursors by:

• using the up, down, right, and left arrow keys or Shift + arrow key

• clicking on the label with the mouse and dragging the cursor

9.4.2 Specifying the Cursors To Track Each Other

You set the cursors to track together when you move them. This way the cursors can move left and right and up and down while maintaining the same distance between T1 and T2 or Y1 and Y2.

To set the T and Y cursors so they track together:

• From the Cursor menu, choose Track or click .

Turning track off lets you move the T cursors independently from each other and the Y cursors independently from each other. Cursor tracking can be turned on and off by toggling the menu selection or toolbar button.

9.5 Changing Views

You can turn the cursors on and off and magnify the trace display as described in the following sections.

9.5.1 Turning Cursors On and Off

You can choose to show or not the show the cursors on the trace display. To turn cursors on or off:

• From the View menu, choose Cursors or click .

You cannot use the Zoom feature if the cursors are off.

Using PC Scope

9-9

9.5.2 Magnifying the Trace Display

You can magnify the area of the trace display that is bounded by the cursors. To magnify the display:

• From the View menu, choose Zoom In or click .

To return the display back to the normal view:

• From the View menu, choose Zoom X1 or click .

If you selected the Auto Scale option in the Trace Setup dialog box the PC Scope scales ten vertical axis to even values. This may result in no change when you zoom into the trace.

9.6 Taking a Trace Snapshot

You can compare one trace with another by saving trace data and displaying it as a background for the next trace. This saved trace data is called a snapshot. You can take a snapshot of either trace A or B or both. Also, you can choose a color to use for displaying trace snapshots (see section 9.6.2).

9.6.1 Taking a Snapshot

To save a trace and have it displayed as the background for subsequent traces, do the following:

From the Snapshot

To:

save the current Trace A as a snapshot

save the current Trace B as a snapshot

save both Trace A and Trace B as snapshots

clear the snapshots Clear The snapshot traces are removed

menu, choose: Description:

Trace A This trace appears as the background

for the next Trace A.

Trace B This trace appears as the background

for the next Trace B.

Trace A & B The traces appear in the background

for the next traces.

from the background.

Control and Configuration Software V6.1

9.6.2 Choosing the Trace Snapshot Colors

You can choose the color that is used to display the snapshots of Trace A or Trace B. Keep in mind that the trace display window is displayed using the Windows menu background color, so be careful not to display trace snapshots in the same color, or the trace will not show up.

To choose a color for a trace snapshot, follow these steps: Step 1. From the Options menu, choose SnapA Color or SnapB Color.

The color selection dialog box is displayed. Step 2. Select a standard color or create a custom color and click OK. Traces can be displayed only in solid colors. If you choose a mixed color, the nearest

solid color is used.

9.7 Saving a Trace File

You can save a trace as either a trace file (.TRC) or an ASCII file (.TRA). Saving a trace as an ASCII file lets you import the data into another program such as a spreadsheet program.

Use the Save As command to save the file with a new name. To save a trace file, follow these steps:

Step 1. From the File menu, choose Save or Save As.

The Save a Signal Trace File dialog box is displayed.

Step 3. From the Save file as type list box, choose whether you want to save the file

as a Trace file (.TRC) or as an ASCII file (.TRA). Step 4. From the Drives list box, specify the location where you want to save the file. Step 5. Click OK to save the file.

9.8 Clearing the Tr ace Display and Setup

You can clear the trace display and setup. To do this:

• From the File menu, choose New or click .

Creating a new trace file deletes any acquired trace data and clears the trace display.

9.9 Opening a Trace File

You can open a previously saved trace file. To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1. From the File menu, select Open or click .

If you already have a configuration file open and made edits to it that have

not been saved, the software prompts you to save the changes. Make the

appropriate selection. See section 8.7 for more information about saving

configuration files.

The Open Signal Trace File dialog box is displayed. An example is shown in

figure 9. 5.
