FlexPak 3000 Field Current Regulator Installation Instructions
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This instruction manual describes how to install and configure the optional Field
Current Regulator kits used by FlexPak
which includes a field regulator and a field supply, can be used only in drives that have
software version 3.00 (
REGULAT O R SWVERSION parame ter = 3.00 ) or late r . W hen t he ki t
is installed, a field control loop is enabled, allowing the user to adjust field control
functions. The field control loop operates in both the constant torque (armature
control) range and the constant power (field control) range. See Appendix A for a
description of the field control loop.
There are three Field Current Regulator kits available for use in FlexPak 3000 drives.
They differ according to the maximum motor field current they support. Use the kit that
provides the maximum motor field current required for your application. Note that
using a Field Current Regulator with a higher amperage rating than is needed will
decrease control resolution. Refer to table 1.1 to ensure you have the correct kit for
your application and to table 1.2 for a list of the kit contents. See figures 1.1 and 1.2 for
illustrations of the Field Current Regulator board and cable assemblies.

begin with step 1. Otherwise, begin with step 7 if your drive is equipped with an OIM,
or step 18 if your drive is equipped with a DCM.
If the motor field voltage is less than 150 VDC on a 230 V AC line or less than 300 VDC
on a 460 VAC line, complete steps 1-6 first. Otherwise, go to step 9.

5.3Tuning the Field Current Regulator
Important: Please review Appendix A for a complete description of the functions of
the field current regulator prior to proceeding with manual tuning.
In order to provide proper and responsive field current control the user may be
required to modify the tuning parameters to meet the needs of the application.
Adjustment of the field regulator tuning may be required to properly clamp and
regulate the armature voltage at or above base speed motor operation.
Typically the regulator parameter settings should be adjusted so that the armature
terminal transient voltage does not exceed 115% of the rated terminal volts when the
motor is operated at or above base speed. Operation above base speed requires the
use of an extended speed range rated motor.
Typical maximum armature transient voltage levels:
• 575 VDC for 500 VDC rated motor
• 275 VDC for 240 VDC rated motor.
Over voltage of the armature could result from:
• Speed overshoot above base speed of the motor during acceleration
• Acceleration into the extended speed range operation of the motor.
Note that steady state operating armature voltage levels should be rated voltage.
5.3.1 Verifying Proper Field Regulator Tuning
During initial setup of the drive and motor, the commissioning engineer should verify
that the armature voltage is properly clamped during acceleration to motor base
speed and beyond. The motor armature voltage should be monitored during
acceleration. If the motor voltage exceeds the recommended levels during operation,
the field regulator tuning may need to be adjusted.
Tuning Techniques:
The field current regulator can be tuned using the following PC-based software:
• The PC scope function of CS3000 or WebPak CS
• The OIM can provide a step field current reference to the field economy setpoint.
This parameter can be accessed via the OIM Field Current Regulator menu
structure.
• Observe the actual field current response on the PC scope.
• If the response is over-damped (ie. slow reaction) then increase the field PI
proportional gain, P514 and/or field PI Lead Freq. P515 until proper response is
achieved.
• If the response is under-damped (ie. overshoots setpoint ) then decrease the field PI
proportional gain, P514 and/or field PI Lead Freq. P515 until proper response is
achieved.
Modifying the Drive Configuration
5-5
Typically, increasing P514 and P515 will increase the field weakening controller
response. Decreasing the value of P514 and P515 will slow down the field weakening
controller response.
After tuning the field regulator, verify that the proper field current regulation and
armature voltage clamping occurs under all operating conditions. If the motor is to be
operated in the extended speed range, the user may be required to adjust the
parameters that relate to field weakening control P518, P519 & P520.
To obtain the proper field and armature voltage response, adjustments may need to
be made to the following parameters:
• P512 FIELD LOSS THRESHOLD
• P514 FIELD PI PROP GAIN
• P515 FIELD PI LEAD FREQ
• P518 FIELD WEAKEN THRESHOLD
• P519 FIELD WEAKEN PROP GAIN
• P520 FIELD WEAKEN LEAD FREQ

Both field loop regulators contain proportional plus integral (PI) control. There is no
user-configurable low limit parameter associated with these PI blocks. The low limit is
always fixed at zero. The high limit (
FIELDDELTAHILIM) is user-configurable up to 180
degrees, allowing full-on field voltage of 207 VDC @ 230 VAC and 414 VDC @ 460
VAC. To regulate greater field voltages, a step-up transformer must be used to supply
the AC side of the Field Current Regulator.
As the motor speed increases beyond base speed, the armature voltage will increase
above rated voltage. The PI block monitoring armature voltage will reduce the high
limit of the PI block controlling field current. As field current decreases, field flux and
armature voltage will also decrease. Field current continues to decrease until

loss fault will be generated only when there is a complete loss of field current. When
the Field Current Regulator is regulating field current (that is, not in fixed voltage
mode), a field current loss fault will be generated when the field current drops below

the user to separately excite the motor field winding, and is not intended as a means
of bypassing field loss detection when using an internal field supply. Therefore, when

Overvoltage Protection
Armature overvoltage protection is always active, regardless of the type of feedback.
This will reduce the chance of overvoltaging the armature due to a weakened field. An
