1.5Drive Description
The FlexPak 3000 drive drive is a full-wave power converter without back rectifier,
complete with a digital current minor loop and a digital major loop for armature voltage
or speed regulation by tachometer or encoder feedback. Figure 1.1 shows the block
diagram of the drive.
The drive employs a wireless construction and uses a keypad (
) for drive setup,

including parameter adjustments and measurement unit selection, monitoring, and
diagnostics. Multiple language capability in English, French, German, Spanish, and
Italian is built-in. Reference, feedback, and metering signals can be interfaced to the
drive.
The drive can be controlled:
•Locally by the Operator Interface Module (

•Remotely by using the terminals at the Regulator board terminal strip.
•Remotely by the CS3000 software or a an optional network kit (AutoMax,

Drive Sequencing
This chapter describes run, jog, and stop sequencing of the FlexPak 3000 drive.
Figure 2.1 shows an overview of the sequencing of the drive.
When powered, the drive is in one of three operating states:
•
armature not active (main contactor open)
•
run mode
•
jog mode
The drive is in run mode if it was started by the
the completion of a stop sequence.
Important:
If you switch from jog mode to run mode, the drive accelerates or decelerates to the
selected run reference as configured by

of stop sequence used depends on the source of the stop and your parameter
configuration, as described below.

sequence, the stop sequence will be aborted and the drive will continue running or

In addition to performing Quick Start, you might need to configure the AC line
parameters for your application. Generally, you only need to configure these
parameters if the default values for these parameters are incorrect for your application.
These parameters should be configured before completing Quick Start. See the

Configuring the Speed Reference
The FlexPak 3000 drive can be configured as a speed regulator or as an armature
voltage regulator, depending on the value of
the phrase “speed loop” refers to either configuration unless otherwise noted.
The drive can also be configured as either a speed/voltage or current regulator. If the
drive is to be configured as a current regulator, skip this chapter and see Chapter 6.
The speed reference is the speed the speed loop tries to maintain. The drive
processes and scales the speed reference input for use by the speed loop.
The speed loop uses the selected reference value and attempts to keep the speed
feedback from the motor equal to the reference value. If the feedback is less than the
reference, the speed loop increases the motor speed by commanding more current to
the motor. If the reference is less than the feedback, the speed loop decreases the
motor speed by commanding less current to the motor. The speed loop tries to
minimize the amount of error between the speed reference and the speed feedback.
The speed and accuracy with which the speed loop responds to reference or motor
load changes is determined by the speed loop parameters.
Processing the speed reference consists of three major blocks, shown in figure 4.1.

In the speed reference source select block, the selected reference is scaled and the

In the speed reference ramp block, the reference value from the speed reference
source select block is modified based on your parameter settings. For example, trim
and rate limiting are applied. See section 4.3.

(P.002). Be aware that an abrupt speed change might occur, depending
on the new reference and the rate specified in these parameters. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
If an I/O Expansion kit is installed, the selected speed reference can be overridden by
a preset speed reference if selected (terminals 59 and 60). See section 4.1.7.
Table 4.1 shows the possible control source and reference source settings. It also
shows the display for the key indicator under .
Most systems will use one primary reference source. For example, you might use a
network for your reference most of the time, but have the terminal strip reference
available for occasions when the network is not running or for troubleshooting.
