PowerFlex 7000 Functional Description
Introduction The PowerFlex 7000 is an adjustable speed ac drive in which motor
speed control is achieved through control of the motor torque. The
motor speed is estimated or measured and the torque is adjusted as
required to make the speed equal to the speed command. The motor
and load determine the stator frequency and the drive synchronizes
itself to the motor. This is in contrast to the volts/hertz ac drive in
which the drive determines the stator frequency and does not attempt
to synchronize its output to the motor.
The method of control used in PF7000 is known as direct rotor flux
oriented vector control. The term rotor flux vector control indicates
that the position of the stator current vector is controlled relative to
the motor flux vector. Direct vector control means that the motor
flux is measured, in contrast to the indirect vector control in which
the motor flux is predicted. In both control methods, the stator
current (I

motor to be controlled as if it were a simple dc motor with
independent, decoupled field and armature currents. This allows the
motor torque to be changed quickly without affecting the flux. For
typical Medium Voltage motors the rotor time constant is in the
range of seconds and therefore the flux cannot be changed quickly.
The PowerFlex 7000 drive can be used with either induction
(asynchronous) or synchronous motors. Synchronous motor drives
are identical to induction motor drives except for the addition of a
current regulated field supply to the synchronous drive. The features
that are unique to a synchronous motor drive are confined to the flux
control function and the encoder option.

Speed Command The function of Speed Command block is to select one of the 10
possible speed command inputs. Parameter Speed Ref Select (7) in
conjunction with Local/Remote selector switch is used to define the
speed command input Speed Command In (276). When the selector
switch is in Local position, the default speed command is the Analog
Speed Potentiometer typically mounted on the LV panel. When the
selector switch is in Remote position, the parameter Speed Ref Select
defines the source of speed command. The options available are:
Local ( Speed Potentiometer)
3 DPI commands ( DPIAdapter1, DPIAdapter2, DPIAdapter5)
2 Analog Inputs configured either for 0-10V or 4-20mA (Analog
Inp1, Analog Inp2)
3 Preset speeds (Preset Spd 1, Preset Spd 2, Preset Spd 3)
1 Preset Jog
In addition, the speed command can come from a built in PID
controller.
The above speed commands are used when the drive is in Normal
mode of operation. However PF7000 has many special modes of
operation e.g. test modes or auto-tuning for which different speed
commands are selected. Table 1.A summarizes the speed command
during these special modes.

The selected Speed CommandIn is clamped to a minimum and a
maximum level by parameter Speed Cmd Max (290) and Speed Cmd
Min (293) to give Speed Command (277). The maximum value of
Speed Command cannot be greater than 125% of Base Speed (98).
Note: Contact the factory for applications that require output
frequencies greater than 125% of the motor base speed.

(51) are provided to prevent the drive from continuously operating at
a certain speed. This feature is sometimes needed to avoid mechanical
vibrations occurring in a drive system at certain speeds. The skip
speed zone around each Skip Speed is specified by the parameter
Skip Speed Band1 (53), Skip Speed Band2 (54), Skip Speed Band3
(55) If the desired Speed Command lies in a given skip speed zone,
the Speed Command is clamped to the lowest value in the zone.
Example
If Skip Speed 1 is 45 Hz with Skip Speed Band1 as 1 Hz, then the
skip speed range extends from 44.5 Hz to 45.5 Hz. If the desired
speed command is set to 45 Hz, then the drive will avoid this speed
and run at 44.5 Hz.
The final stage in processing the command is the whether the drive
has been requested to run forward or reverse. The sign is changed if
reverse rotation is selected. The Speed Command is set to zero if the
drive is stopped.
Speed Reference The function of the Speed Reference block is to determine the Speed
Reference (278) from the desired Speed Command (277). PF7000
provides two options:
• S-curve
• Linear Ramp
To select, S curve a non-zero value of S curve Percent (475) is
selected. Using parameter S curve Acc1 (481), the drive
automatically calculates the linear and the non-linear portions of the
S curve as shown in Figure 1.2. Following example shows how to
use S curve parameters:
Example
If S curve Accel 1 is set for 20 sec with 20% in S curve Percent, then
The parameters for deceleration are calculated using parameter S curve
Linear Ramp is enabled if the S curve Percent is set to zero.
7000-TD002A-EN-P – September 2007
the total acceleration time is increased by 0.2 x 20 = 4 seconds. The
total acceleration time will now be 24 seconds with 4 seconds in the
non-linear portion of the S curve. Since the curve is symmetrical,
each of the segments will be of 2 seconds duration.
Decel 1 (479) and S curve Percent (475) and shown in Figure 1.2.
Independent four section ramps are provided for acceleration and
deceleration. The ramp is specified by 4 Ramp Speeds, 4 Accel and
Decel times and is shown in Figure 1.3.

(289). In Pulse Tach mode, the speed is determined directly by using
Tach Feedback (349). The Speed Feedback is subtracted from the
Speed Reference to determine the Speed Error (472) which is
processed by the speed PI regulator. The gains of the regulator are
based on the Total Inertia (82) of the system and the desired Spdreg
Bandwidth (81). The output of the speed regulator is the Torque
Reference (291)whose rate of change is limited by Trq Rate Limit
(83). The calculated Torque Reference is divided by the Flux
Reference (305) and motor constant to determine the torque
component of the stator current MtrTorque CurCmd (292). To
calculate the torque producing current supplied by the inverter

capacitor in torque production (orthogonal to motor flux) is
calculated and subtracted from MtrTorque CurCmd.

the torque is limited to Trq Lmt Braking (85). It should be noted that
at speeds above the Base Speed (98), the motor torque capability is
de-rated and varies in inverse proportion to the speed (constant
power range).
different torque control modes by setting the parameter Trq Control
Mode (90). E.g. in stand-alone drives the parameter is set as Speed
Reg allowing the drive to be in speed control mode and regulating
the torque in the motor. In torque follower applications like
conveyors, one of the drives (Master) is set in Speed Reg mode
which enables the speed regulator while the other drives (torque
followers) are set in Trq Cmd External mode. The torque reference
produced by the Master drive is then passed on to the torque follower
drives by Trq Cmd External (91). Figure 1.4 shows other various
modes of operation.

Flux ControlThe function of the flux control block (Figure 1.5) is to determine the
magnetizing component (I
maintain the desired flux profile in the motor. The inputs are Flux
Feedback (306) and Stator Freq (448) from the motor model, Speed
Feedback (289)and Torque Reference (291) from the speed control
block and the measured voltage at the input of the rectifier, Rec
Input Volt (696).
The Flux Feedback is subtracted from the Flux Reference (305) to
determine the Flux Error (307), which is the input to the flux PI
regulator. The gains are determined from desired Flxreg Bandwidth
(97) and motor parameters T Rotor (132) and Lm Rated (131). The
output of the flux regulator is FluxCurRegulator (309). An open loop
estimate of the magnetizing current FluxCur Feedfwd (308) is
determined by dividing the Flux Reference by parameter Lm Rated.
FluxCur Feedfwd and FluxCurRegulator are added to produce Mtr
Flux CurCmd (310) which is the magnetizing component of the
stator current command. To calculate the magnetizing current
supplied by the inverter Inv Flux CurCmd (312), the current supplied
by the motor filter capacitor in magnetizing is calculated and
subtracted from Mtr Flux CurCmd. It should be noted that as the
motor speed increases, Inv Flux CurCmd decreases. This is because
as the motor voltage increases more of the magnetizing current
requirement of the motor is met by the capacitor. At resonant point,
Inv Flux CurCmd is nearly zero and becomes negative at speeds
above resonance. InvTorque CurCmd (from Speed Control block)
and Inv Flux CurCmd are then passed to the Current Control block to
determine the dc link current reference (Idc Reference) and the firing
angles of the two converters (Alpha Rectifier and Alpha Inverter).
The flux profile in the drive is adjusted by the parameters Flx Cmd
No Load (103) and FlxCmd RatedLoad (100). Using these
parameters, Flux Reference is adjusted linearly with the desired
Torque Reference. At light loads motor flux is decreased allowing
reduction in losses while full flux is produced at rated load. The
maximum flux reference is limited to Flux Cmd Limit (623). This
limit is dependent on the Rec Input Volt
Feedback). If the drive operates at reduced line voltage, then Flux
Reference is reduced. Also if the motor is running above the Base
Speed, the flux profile is made inversely proportional to the speed of
the motor resulting in the field weakening or the constant power
mode of operation of the drive. This is accompanied by a decrease in
the motor torque capability.

Flux Control for Synchronous
Motor
Most of the magnetization for a synchronous motor is supplied by
the rotor field winding, unlike an induction motor where all of the
magnetizing current is supplied through the stator. However, control
of the motor flux through the field current is very slow because of
the large time constant of the dc field winding and the current and
voltage limitations of the field supply. To obtain sufficiently fast
response from the flux regulator the magnetizing current is split into
transient and steady state components, with the steady state
component supplied through the rotor and the transient component
through the stator.
The additions to the flux control required for synchronous machines
are shown in the block diagram (Figure 1.6). The portion of the
motor filter capacitor current supplied by the drive is then added to
determine Inv Flux CurCmd, which is the magnetizing component of
the dc link current command.
Parameter Icd Command Gain (107) determines how the motor filter
capacitor current is split between the motor and the drive. When this
parameter is set to its minimum value of 0.0, all the capacitor current
is supplied by the drive. The line current is higher than the motor
current and the motor operates at approximately unity power factor.
When this parameter is set to its maximum value of 1.0, the motor
supplies all the capacitor current. The line current is less than the
motor current and the motor operates at a lagging power factor with
reduced field current.

Current Control The function of the current control block (Figure 1.7) is to determine
the firing angles for the converters Alpha Rectifer (327) and Alpha
Inverter (328). The inputs are the torque (InvTorque CurCmd) and
flux producing (Inv Flux CurCmd) components of the dc link current
command from the speed control and flux control blocks respectively,
and the measured dc link current Idc Feedback (322).
The square root of the sum of the squares of Inv Flux CurCmd and
InvTorque CurCmd determines the dc link current reference Idc
Reference (321). This is subtracted from the measured dc current
feedback is subtracted to determine Idc Error (323). This is
processed by the current regulator to produce Vdc Error (332). To
effectively control the dc link current an estimate of the motor side
dc link voltage is done to calculate Vdc Feedfwd (333) which is
added to Vdc Error to produce the reference voltage for the line side
converter Vdc Reference (326). The line converter firing angle is the
inverse cosine of Vdc Reference. The machine converter firing angle
is determined by taking the inverse tangent of the ratio of Inv Flux
CurCmd to the InvTorque CurCmd. The quadrant of operation is
adjusted based on the signs of the current commands.

1-16 Functional Description
Motor Model The function of the motor model block (Figure 1.8) is to determine
the rotor flux position (Flux Angle), flux feedback (Flux Feedback),
applied stator frequency (Stator Freq), slip frequency (Slip
Frequency) and motor operating variables like stator current (Stator
Current), stator voltage (Stator Voltage), torque (MtrAirGap
Torque), power (MotorAirGap Power) and power factor (Mtr Pwr
Factor).
The PowerFlex 7000 uses Rotor Flux oriented control to achieve
independent control of motor flux and torque. This is achieved by
synchronizing the machine converter gating to Flux Angle. To
determine the flux feedback, stator frequency and the synchronizing
reference frame the drive uses either the Voltage or the Current
model. For speeds greater than 3Hz, the drive uses the voltage model
(from measured motor voltage and current) to calculate the Flxfbk
VoltModel, and StatFreq VoltModel. Below 3Hz, the drive uses the
current model to calculate Flxfbk CurModel, and StatFreq
CurModel. The current model is based on indirect vector control and
uses the d-q components of stator current along with motor
parameters T Rotor and Lm Rated. Based on the operating speed of
the drive and the speed feedback mode (Sensorless or Pulse Tach), a
flux select algorithm determines the model to be used. Motor model
also calculates the Slip Frequency which is used in the calculation of
the motor speed (Speed Control) in Sensorless mode and for
determining the rotor flux position in Pulse Tach mode.
The synchronously rotating frame (Flux Angle) is used in
transforming the measured motor currents and voltages into d-q
components. The direct axis components are in phase with the rotor
flux, while the quadrature axis components are displaced 90 degrees
from the rotor flux. The stator current (Stator Current) and voltage
magnitudes (Stator Voltage) are calculated by taking the square root
of the sum of the squares of the respective d-q components. The
motor Torque is calculated by multiplying the Flux Feedback and I
with motor torque constant. Torque multiplied by the motor speed
gives the Mtr AirGapPower. Mtr Power Factor is determined as the
ratio of motor active power and the apparent power.

semiconductors (SCRs or SGCTs) before running and while running.
The method used to detect failed devices is different for starting
(offline diagnostics) and for running (on-line diagnostics), but the
same hardware is used in both situations. The drive control receives
a feedback signal via a fiber-optic cable from each device gate
driver, which can indicate whether or not it is healthy. SCR
diagnostics are based on sensing the voltage across the device while
SGCT has smart diagnostics built in the gate driver board. The
feedback and the gating have a certain relationship when the device
is healthy or failed. This is shown in Figure 1.10 and will be
described in detail in following sections. The description applies to
all 6P, 18P and PWM PowerFlex 7000 drives. In the drive, the test
points are available on the OIBB for monitoring the gating and
diagnostic signals. In order to understand how the diagnostics work,
it is important to understand the relationship between fiber optic
signals and the logic levels on the test points. This is summarized in
Table 1.B and Table 1.C.

but the drive is not running, the voltage across the line converter
thyristors is high and positive for half cycle except during
intervals around the zero of the line voltage. The gate driver
transmits light whenever the device is forward biased with a
large enough voltage as shown in Figure 1.9. On the OIBB
diagnostic test point this translates into a feedback signal at 0V
level. Since the drive is not gating (no light, 5V signal on the
OIBB gating test point) the feedback normally toggles state
every cycle of the utility voltage. However the feedback will not
toggle state if the device is shorted, or if the feedback fiber-optic
path is incomplete. This is shown in Figure 1.9. If this occurs,
the drive faults and issues an OfflineShrt fault for the device.
PWM Rectifier Passive Off-Line Diagnostics
For PWM rectifiers the transmitter on the device should send a
light back when the device is healthy (0V on the diagnostic test
point). However the light signal will not be received if a device is
shorted or if the feedback fiber-optic path is incomplete. The
drive presumes the device has failed and determines which
devices would be safe to gate for the more detailed active offline
diagnostic test.

change from high to low when gated. However the drive will
receive a high state (light) both before and after gating if the
device is open-circuited, there is an incomplete gating fiber-optic
path or a damaged gate driver. When this occurs the drive will
issue an Offline Open fault for the device. If the drive receives a
low signal (no light) in both states, there may be shorted device
or an incomplete feedback fiber optic. If this occurs drive will
issue an Offline Shrt fault for the device. Failed or open-circuited
snubber connections will shift the device blocking voltage (when
not running) which may case either fault to appear. It should be
noted that during the active diagnostics stage a dc link voltage
which is close to rated voltage will appear due to interaction with
the snubber circuit.

between a failed device and a broken fiber-optic path because the
gate driver toggles the feedback differently when gated as shown
in Figure 1.10. As in the SCR rectifier active offline diagnostics,
each device is gated at peak blocking voltage (if MV is available).
Devices which could cause a line to line short circuit are not
gated. If the drive detects a failed device, an Offline fault is
issued for the device. A weak gate power supply may also cause
a device fault. If the drive receives no light signal (5V on the
diagnostic test point) both before and after gating, then there
may be an incomplete feedback fiber-optic and a DiagFkbLoss
fault will be issued. A completely failed or unplugged power
supply will also cause this fault. If the drive always receives a
light signal (0V on the diagnostic test point) both before and
after gating, the device may not have received the gating signal
and a Gating Loss fault will be issued. The drive will not allow
the contactor to be closed if it detects enough failed devices to
cause a line to line short circuit.

Page 27
Functional Description 1-23
On-line detection of Failed SCRs/SGCTs
When the gating is enabled for both converters, the feedback from the
gate drivers is constantly switching on and off, usually several times per
cycle. The diagnostics feedback signals from each device are monitored
and the protective measures are performed.
SCR On-Line Diagnostics
For SCR rectifier drives, the drive detects both open and shorted
devices while running. Due to notching and interaction with the other
phases, the SCR feedback diagnostic changes state many times per
cycle, although it is only valid just before and after firing the device.
Just before firing a device, the drive takes several samples of the
diagnostic feedback from the SCR. If every sample indicates that the
device was on before it was fired, the drive considers that the device
may be shorted, and starts a timer. When this timer exceeds the
number of line cycles specified by the parameter Rec Dvc Diag Dly
(266) the drive generates an OnlineShrt fault. Each device has its
own timer. A delay of zero will generate a fault immediately. A
delay of 2 will generate a fault after 2 cycles which indicates that the
fault has been seen three times in a row.
Shortly after the drive fires an SCR it checks the feedback from the
gate driver boards. If the feedback shows that the device did not fire
the drive considers that the device may be open-circuited and starts a
timer. If the fault persists for 6 cycles, the drive generates an
OnlineOpen fault. As with the short circuit fault, each device has its
own timer, however the delay is not adjustable.
Both on-line device diagnostics are not availabl e at all mod es of
operation due to the nature of the feedback from th e gate driv er.
No diagnostics are done when the rectifier firing angle is less than 15
degrees. No diagnostics are done when the dc current is discontinuous.
SGCT on-line diagnostics
The PWM rectifier and inverter generate only one type of on-line
diagnostic fault. Due to the intelligent gate driver board the drive is
able to check the status of every SGCT in a bridge any time a device
in the bridge is fired. The drive takes a sample of every device’s
feedback before and after firing the bridge. If both samples indicate
that the device is not functioning correctly the drive starts a timer for
that device. When this timer reaches the value specified by parameter
Rec Dvc Diag Dly (266) for the PWM rectifier, or Inv Dvc Diag Dly
(268) for the inverter, the drive generates an Online fault. The actual
time to trip will vary with the switching frequency of the bridge in
question. A bridge changes state at three times the switching
frequency. For a PWM rectifier switching at 420 Hz (7pulse at 60 Hz),
the bridge changes state at 1260 Hz. This means the delay is in
multiples of around 0.8 ms.

1-24 Functional Description
Test Modes The PowerFlex 7000 AC drive is provided with test modes to check
the functionality of the drive during commissioning. These test
modes are selected using the parameter Operating Mode in the
Feature Select group. When Test Mode is set to the default value of
Normal, the drive is in the normal operating mode. The parameter
cannot be changed while the drive is running.
Setting Operating Mode to Gate Test allows the gating checks to be
performed on the rectifier and the inverter. Both the input and output
contactors must be open and medium voltage must not be applied to
the drive. This test is carried out in conjunction with two additional
parameters Inv Gating Test and Rect Gating Test. Upon selecting
Gate Test, both the parameters are automatically set to Test Pattern.
A brief description follows in this section.
Setting Inv Gating Test to Test Pattern will fire the inverter devices
in a sequential Z pattern at a low frequency (1Hz) and is verified by
observing the LEDs on the SGCT gate driver board. Setting Inv
Gating Test to Normal Gate will result in the inverter devices firing
as in normal mode of operation. The frequency of the gating is
controlled by parameter Speed Command In (276). Setting Inv
Gating Test to Off stops the inverter test gating sequence.
In 6 or 18-pulse SCR PowerFlex drives, the gate driver boards derive
power from medium voltage. Hence to check the line converter
gating in Gate Test mode where there is no MV available, a special
power harness is required. The line converter gating is quickly
checked by setting the Rect Gating Test to Test Pattern. This will fire
the rectifier devices in a sequential Z pattern at a low frequency (1Hz)
with only one device on at a time and is verified by observing the
LEDs on the SCR gate driver boards. To set the rectifier gating in
normal operation select Normal Gate. The SCR firing is at the input
line frequency.
For 6-pulse PWM drives, no power harness is required as the SGCTs
are powered by the Gate Power Supply.

Application of medium voltage to the drive
input or output when it is operating in gate test
mode may cause severe damage to the drive.
To test the line converter and to tune the dc link current regulator and
the line commutating impedance, the drive Operating Mode is
selected as DC Current. In this test mode, the line converter
operates normally, but the machine converter gating is modified to
gate both the positive and negative legs in the same phase in order to
short-circuit the dc link current through the machine converter. The
short circuit current is slowly rotated among the three phases with
overlap between phases to ensure that an open circuit does not occur
during commutation. There is no current in the motor and the output
contactor (if installed in the drive) is opened. The dc current
command is set equal to the value specified by parameter Idc Test
Command (119) in the Current Control group. In this test mode the
line converter firing angle Alpha Rectifier (327) will be close to 90
degrees. This is because it takes very small dc voltage to build
current in a shorted dc link.
Setting Operating Mode to System Test selects the system test mode.
This mode is used to test the drive as a system, including interfaces
with external devices such as programmable controllers, without
applying power to the drive or motor. The drive behaves as if it was
running normally but device gating disabled. Since the input, output,
and bypass contactors operate normally in this mode, it must be
ensured that the drive and motor are isolated from medium voltage.
If the drive detects medium voltage in this test mode, a fault MV in
SystemTest is issued and the input contactor is opened.
A T T E N T I ONA T T E N T I O N
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure
that the drive and motor are isolated from
medium voltage when the drive is operating in
system test mode with the input, output, and
bypass contactors closed.
Setting Operating Mode to Open Circuit, selects the open circuit test
mode. This mode is used to test the drives at rated output voltage
and frequency without connecting it to a motor. In open circuit test
mode, ac current sufficient to produce rated voltage at the drive
output is forced through the output filter capacitors. When the drive
is started in this mode, it ramps up to rated frequency and
synchronizes its output voltage with the line voltage. The current
reference is set to a value that will produce voltage at the drive
output set by the parameter FlxCmd RatedLoad (100).

Open circuit test mode should not be used
when the drive is connected to a load unless
an output contactor is provided.
Setting Operating Mode to Open Loop selects a diagnostic mode
in which the drive is run in an open loop manner without closing any
of the feedback loops on the motor side (Speed and Flux regulators).
Parameters TrqCmd0 Sensrlss and TrqCmd1 Sensrlss are used to
inject motor current at a small stator frequency (typically 10% of
Rated Line Frequency). Motor will be turning in this mode and drive
analog flux feedback variables FlxFbk VoltModel (342) and
StatFrqVoltModel (485) are used to ensure the reliability of the
analog feedback.
This feature is available in drives running induction motors only.
Flying Start (Induction Motor)
1. The motor has pulled out and stalled during starting due to
Using this feature, the PowerFlex 7000 AC drive is capable of
restarting a motor that is not stationary but is already rotating. In
normal operation, the output of the drive is synchronized with the
motor flux which is derived from the stator voltage and current
feedback. Upon starting, if there is no detectable stator voltage, the
drive assumes that the motor is stationary. The output frequency
starts from an initial value of zero and ramps up until motor flux is
detected. Significant flux is created in the motor only when the slip
frequency (i.e. the difference between the applied stator frequency
and rotor frequency) is small. When the drive is started with the
motor stationary, the initial slip frequency is small and the motor
flux builds up fairly quickly. But, if the motor is already spinning,
then very little flux will be induced until the stator frequency is quite
close to the rotor frequency, at which time the motor flux will
suddenly rise to a level sufficient for the drive to detect and
synchronize. If the drive reaches the maximum allowable speed
command without detecting any motor flux, then it will trip on a
motor stall fault. There are following possible causes of a motor stall
when starting:
insufficient torque. The remedy for this is to increase the value
of some or all of the parameters TrqCmd0 Sensrlss, TrqCmd1 Sensrlss and Accel Time 1.
7000-TD002A-EN-P – September 2007
Page 31
Functional Description 1-27
2. The motor was already rotating but the flying start failed because
the drive passed through the low slip region too quickly to allow
the motor flux to build up. The solution to this problem is to
increase the value of parameter Accel Time 1. Most medium
voltage motors have a rotor time constant in the range of 1 to 5
seconds, and it can take a few seconds for the flux to rise to a
detectable level. Until flux is detected, the drive does not use the
normal speed ramp but continues to accelerate at the rate defined
by parameters Accel Time 1 and Ramp speed 1. If this rate exceeds
2Hz/sec, then the drive limits it internally to a maximum of 2Hz/sec.
3. The motor is rotating in the direction opposite to the commanded
direction of rotation. The slip frequency will increase instead of
decreasing as the drive accelerates and no flux will be induced in
the motor. In such cases, selecting Bidirectional flying start
feature, allows the drive to search the motor in opposite direction
before stalling. This option can be selected by enabling
in Special Features (99).
FlyStrt
BiDr
If the motor is coasting at a high enough speed (above about 40 Hz)
and the output contactor is closed, then the motor may self excite
with the drive motor filter capacitors and generate a high stator
voltage that the drive can detect. The drive will re-synchronize to
this voltage and quickly restart.
If the optional tachometer feedback is installed, then the drive knows
the speed of the motor at all times and can perform a flying start for
any speed or direction of rotation.
Flying Start (Synch Motor) With a synchronous motor, flying start is much quicker and more
reliable because a detectable stator voltage is produced whenever the
field is applied and the motor is rotating, even with zero stator current.
When the drive is started, rated field current is applied to the motor
but the stator current remains at zero until the end of the ramp start
delay to allow the rotor flux to build up. If the stator frequency is
greater than about 2 Hz, sufficient stator voltage is generated to
allow the drive to detect the speed and direction of the motor and
synchronize itself to the motor flux. If the flux feedback does not
reach a minimum level of 0.2pu, the drive assumes that the motor is
stationary and starts from zero frequency.
If an optional position encoder is installed, a flying start can be
performed for any speed or direction of rotation.
7000-TD002A-EN-P – September 2007
Page 32
1-28 Functional Description
Tachometer/Encoder Option The optional tachometer/encoder provides two significant
enhancements to the drive control:
1. Provides an accurate measurement of motor speed and direction
at all times
2. Extends closed loop speed and torque control down to nearly
zero speed.
A pulse tachometer, also called a pulse generator or incremental
encoder, produces a pulse train output with a frequency proportional
to shaft speed. By counting the number of pulses, the motor speed
can be determined. The tachometer is wired to an optional
tachometer board installed on connector J28 of the ACB.
Parameter Tach Type (233) specifies which type of tachometer has
been installed. A Quadrature tachometer provides two outputs A
and B. Using these signals the motor speed and its direction of
rotation can be determined. On other hand Single tachometer only
gives information about the speed and should be used in applications
where no reverse rotation occurs.
Counting the number of tach pulses over a certain sampling period
yields the tach output frequency, from which the shaft speed can be
calculated using the tach pulses per revolution (ppr) specified by
parameter Tach PPR (234). The tach r e s o lution det ermines th e
minimum motor speed that can be measured. If high starting torque or
very low speed operation is required, a high resolution such as 1024 or
2048 ppr must be provided. Otherwise, a low resolution such as 240 or
360 ppr is adequate. E.g if the tach frequency is measured to be 30 kHz,
then with a 1024 PPR, the motor speed is calculated as
The voltage model is not usable for stator frequencies less than 3 Hz.
To control flux and torque at low speeds, the PowerFlex 7000 drive
switches to current model based on indirect vector control. With
indirect control, the position of the rotor flux is not directly measured
but is indirectly predicted by adding the calculated slip angle to the
measured rotor angle. The rotor angle is obtained by integrating the
output of the pulse tach (the zero position is arbitrary). The slip
frequency required to provide the desired flux and torque is calculated
by the motor model. The slip frequency is integrated to get the slip
angle and added to the measured rotor angle to obtain the flux angle.
7000-TD002A-EN-P – September 2007
Page 33
Functional Description 1-29
Because of its salient pole construction, the position of the rotor flux
in a synchronous machine is not arbitrary but is determined by the
physical position of the rotor. A synchronous machine therefore
requires an absolute position encoder
instead of an incremental
encoder for indirect vector control. The encoder must also be aligned
with the direct axis of the rotor. To avoid having to physically align
the encoder, an offset angle specified by parameter Encoder Offset
(644) is added to the encoder output to compensate for the difference
between the encoder zero and the direct axis of the rotor. To reverse
the encoder rotation in software if it does not match the rotation of
the motor, bit Rvs Encoder in Special Features (#99) should be set to
1. There is no parameter to specify the encoder resolution; it is
inferred from the number of motor poles.
Contact factory for the availability of this option.
Synchronous Transfer Synchronous transfer is an optional feature of the PowerFlex 7000
drive which allows either a single or multi-motors to be transferred
between the drive and a fixed frequency supply in either direction
without stopping and with a very short interruption of power.
Compared to non-synchronous transfer in which power to the motor
is interrupted for a significant length of time, the transient drop in
motor speed is much less with synchronous transfer.
In order to perform a synchronous transfer, a drive output contactor
and a bypass contactor are required as shown in Figure 1.11. The
name bypass indicates that the function of this contactor is to connect
the motor directly to the fixed frequency supply, bypassing the drive.
An additional Voltage Sensing Board (VSB) is used to measure the
bypass voltage on the line side of the bypass contactor. These inputs
are brought in through ACB and used in synchronizing the motor
voltage directly to the bypass voltage resulting in a reliable
synchronous transfer. In addition the measurement of by pass voltage
allows certain protection features to be built in. The synchronous
transfer is automatically aborted if the drive detects an overvoltage or
undervoltage or reverse sequence in the bypass voltage.

Functional Description 1-31
For all multiple motor synchronizing applications, a PLC is used for
overall control of the synchronous transfer operation. Typically, the
PLC gives control of the bypass contactor to the drive before
performing the transfer, and takes back control after the transfer is
completed.
A T T E N T I ONA T T E N T I O N
Since the programmable controller and not the
drive controls the output and bypass contactors,
the transfer command must always go via the
PLC and never directly to the drive from another
controlling device (e.g. a Remote I/O adapter).
The following section will describe the sequence of operation on
single motor synchronous transfer without using a PLC.
Transfer to Bypass
When the motor is running on the drive and a synchronous transfer is
required, the transfer takes place in the following sequence:
1. The drive is given a Request to Bypass command, which must
remain active until the synchronous transfer is complete. If the
transfer command is removed before the bypass contactor is
requested to close, the drive will abort the transfer and return to
normal running. When the drive receives the transfer command,
it accelerates the motor up to the measured Bypass Frequency
(159). If the drive is unable to achieve synchronous speed, it
may be necessary to increase parameter Trq Lmt Motoring (84).
2. When the motor reaches sy nchronous speed, the synchronizing
regulator is activated whose response is controlled by parameter
Sync Reg Gain (225). It adjusts the drive Speed Reference as
required, to synchronize the motor to the bypass with the motor
voltage leading the bypass voltage by an angle specified by
parameter Sync Lead Angle (226). This parameter is used to
compensate for the drifts in the motor and bypass voltage before
the bypass contactor closes. If the phase error tends to oscillate,
it may be necessary to adjust parameters Sync Reg Gain or
Spdreg Bandwidth.

3. When the phase error between the motor voltage and bypass
voltage has remained less than the value specified by parameter
Sync Error Max (228) for the time interval specified by
parameter Sync Time (229) the drive activates BP CONTACTOR
output on the ACB.
4. After a time delay specified by Sync Off Delay (227) the drive
shuts off. It is important that this parameter is set to the correct
value. This should be at least 1-2 cycles less than the contactor
closing time. If this time delay is set too short, the motor voltage
could drift out of phase with the bypass voltage. If the time delay
is set too long, a drive overcurrent fault may occur because the
drive is unable to control its output voltage and frequency once
the bypass contactor has closed.
A T T E N T I ONA T T E N T I O N
If parameter Sync Off Delay is set incorrectly,
damage may occur to the drive, motor,
couplings, and driven load if a transfer to
bypass is attempted.
5. When the BP CONTACTOR STATUS input indicates that the
bypass contactor has closed, the drive deactivates the OP
CONTACTOR output. When the output contactor opens, the
drive is disconnected from the motor, leaving the output filter
capacitors charged to bypass voltage.
6. The synchronous transfer is now complete and the motor is
running on bypass.
7. If in (3), the drive is unable to synchronize within the time
specified by parameter Sync Xfer Time (230) the synchronous
transfer is aborted. At this point the drive can either fault or issue
a warning. This is controlled by the parameter Drive Fault4
(370). If the bit SyncXferFail is set to 1, then the drive issues a
fault. If the bit is set to 0, then a warning is issued.

Synchronous Transfer
Transfer to Drive
cont.
To transfer a motor running on the bypass back to the drive a
Transfer to Drive command is requested. Following sequence of
events take place:
1. The drive is given a Transfer to Drive command. After a normal
start command is given, the drive closes the output contactor.
After the OP CONTACTOR STATUS input on the ACB indicates
that the output contactor has closed, there is a time delay to
allow the output filter capacitors to charge to the bypass voltage.
This delay is adjustable using DeSync Start Dly (#763). Within
this time, the drive synchronizes to the capacitor voltage with the
motor still running on bypass. The drive then deactivates its
BP_CONTACTOR output.
2. When the BP CONTACTOR STATUS input on the ACB
indicates that the bypass contactor has opened, the drive goes to
run mode. As the drive brings the motor torque up to the level
requir ed by the load, the motor speed will drop slightly before
returning to the commanded speed.
3. The Transfer to Drive command is removed. The transfer is now
complete and the motor is running on the drive.

PID Process Control The PID process control feature is now integrated into the PowerFlex
7000 drive. The PID controller provides a single closed loop process
control with proportional, integral and derivative control action. This
feature is designed to eliminate the need for external control devices
in applications that require control of a process.
The drive reads the Process Variable (357) from the analog input
that is fed by the customer process sensor and compares it to the
desired Process Setpoint (360). The analog I/O is either in the
voltage range of 0 -10V or in the current range of 4 – 20 mA. The
algorithm will then adjust the PID Output (356), changing the drive’s
speed command frequency to make the Process Variable equal to the
Process Setpoint. The internal PID process controller uses the
velocity form algorithm of the PID equation. This signifies that the
loop works on the change in error to adjust the output whereas a
traditional positional form algorithm works on the error directly.
The firmware provides several options as to the way the algorithm
works. Independent or dependent gain form can be chosen by the
Indpndt Gain bit in the PID Output (356). The difference should be
taken into consideration when tuning the PID parameters; PID Gain
(353), PID Integral Time (354) and PID Derivative Time (355). The
equations for the algorithms in dependent and independent gain form
are shown below:
Dependent Gain Form:
In this form of algorithm, the PID gain is working as a controller
gain. The change in the PID Gain will affect all three terms;
proportional, integral, and derivative.

Power Factor Compensation This feature is available in drives with PWM rectifier to compensate
leading power factor at low motor speeds with a fan/pump type load.
Leading or lagging power factor at high motor speeds (or even above
base speed) can also be compensated or improved. The control of
power factor is realized by either controlling the modulation index of
the inverter using Space Vector Modulation (SVM) gating technique
or by adjusting the motor flux profile.
Contact factory for the availability of this feature.
Analog Outputs A total of seventeen programmable analog outputs are provided on
various boards. They are classified as customer use or diagnostic use.
See tables below. There are eight analog outputs on DPM which are

connection to an oscilloscope or chart recorder. These analog outputs
are 8-bit, non-isolated, with a range of -10V to +10V. The ACB also
has one isolated 4-20mA analog output and 8 non-isolated analog
outputs for connection to external devices such as meters or isolation
modules. The allocation of the analog outputs is shown below:

DATABASE REVISION # 7.xxx
This document provides detailed description of the parameters used in drive control. The parameters are
arranged into functional groups. Each description begins with the full name of the parameter, followed by
the name displayed on the operator interface. The linear number of the parameter is given followed by
the minimum and maximum values showing the position of the decimal point and the units if applicable.
Next is the generic value that is assigned when a parameter initialization is performed. The access level
at which the parameter can be first seen is given. The access levels are Monitor, Basic, Advanced,
Service and Rockwell. At the Monitor access level, no change to the parameters are allowed. If the
parameter is first seen at a certain level (with the exception of Monitor) and it is a Read/Write type, it can
be modified at the same or a higher level. Read Only parameters are operational variables that change
with different operating conditions. Finally, there is a short functional description of the parameter.
IMPORTANT: Please read the following information on overall
parameter configuration.
Interpreting Bit-Encoded Parameters
Most bit-encoded parameters follow a basic format. A one (1) in an associated bit represents a true or
active condition. A zero (0) in an associated bit represents a false or inactive condition.
The methodology is best illustrated using an example:

The description in the manual will always be structured in the same way. The top description (in this
case, Redn ConvFan) is always the least-significant bit, or right-most bit. As you move down the list of
descriptions, you move to the left on the bit-encoded word. Any unused bits in the middle of a word will
be identified, but unused bits in the middle of a word will have no description. This is why a 16-bit word
may only have a few descriptions. The rest are reserved for future expansion.
When a bit-encoded parameter is viewed in its associated group, it is actually displayed as a hexadecimal
number. The right-most four bits represent the right-most hexadecimal digit. Each subsequent group of
4 represents the next hex digit.
When you display a specific bit-encoded parameter, or choose to modify a bit-encoded parameter, it will
be displayed in fit format, with an individual description of each bit. When modifying a parameter,
highlighting the bit with the cursor keys will automatically pop up the description on screen.

Current Sensor Fault Code [Cur Sens FltCode]
Linear Number: 764
Access Level: Service
Read/Write: Read Only
This parameter in Diagnostic group helps in understanding why the drive tripped with a Current Sensor
fault. This feature is active only in inverter short circuit test modes and open-loop mode. The options are:
Bit Enum Text Description
0 HECS/CTError DC current measured from HECS and estimated from CT do not match
1 CT Phase Seq CT Phase Sequence is different from measured voltage sequence
2 CT Phs/Alpha Firing angle does not agree with phase angle of the rectifier current
3 Cap/CT Error Error in the measured and estimated line current
Detailed explanation is as follows:
Drive compares the measured dc current feedback with the estimated dc current feedback from the line
current (capacitor compensation done on PWMR) and creates the fault Current Sensor if there is a large
difference (HECS/CTError bit in fault code). This protects the drive when starting (in test modes) with the
DC HECS unplugged, or backwards.
The phase sequence of the CT feedback (forward/reverse) is compared with the phase sequence of the
voltage feedback and a Current Sensor fault is generated if they are different (CT Phase Seq bit in fault
code).
When dc current is flowing, the drive compares the firing angle with the angle of the estimated rectifier
current and generates a Current Sensor fault if there is a large difference (CT Phs/Alpha bit in fault code).
On PWMR drives, when not gating (in short circuit and open-loop test modes) the drive compares the
measured capacitor current and expected capacitor current and generates a Current Sensor fault if there
is a large difference (Cap/CT Error bit in fault code).
In open-loop test mode, the drive compares the motor current feedback to the dc current feedback and
generates a Current Sensor fault if there is a large difference (Motor HECS bit in fault code).

Minimum Value: 0.50
Maximum Value: 2.00
Access Level: Service
Read/Write: Read/Write
This parameter represents the ratio between the Magnetizing Inductance of the motor when running at
full regeneration to the Rated Magnetizing Inductance. Since a motor is a non-linear device, Magnetizing
Inductance is the parameter that changes the most with load and flux levels, and for applications with
Tachometer enabled and Low Speed, High Torque operating conditions, this parameter may need to be
used to extrapolate Magnetizing Inductance for any load and flux reference. For most standard
applications, the default value of 1.00 is acceptable.
Magnetizing Inductance No Load Flux Min [Lm Noload FlxMin]
Linear Number: 694
Default Value: 1.00
Minimum Value: 0.50
Maximum Value: 2.00
Access Level: Service
Read/Write: Read/Write
This parameter represents the ratio between the Magnetizing Inductance of the motor at no load and
minimum flux command to the Rated Magnetizing Inductance. Since a motor is a non-linear device,
Magnetizing Inductance is the parameter that changes the most with load and flux levels, and for
applications with Tachometer enabled and Low Speed, High Torque operating conditions, this parameter
may need to be used to extrapolate Magnetizing Inductance for any load and flux reference. For most
standard applications, the default value of 1.00 is acceptable.
Magnetizing Inductance No Load Flux Max [Lm Noload FlxMax]
Linear Number: 695
Default Value: 1.00
Minimum Value: 0.50
Maximum Value: 2.00
Access Level: Service

Stator Resistance [R Stator]
Linear Number: 129
Default Value: 0.0000 pu
Minimum Value: 0.0000 pu
Maximum Value: 0.5000 pu
Access Level: Advanced
Read/Write: Read/Write
This parameter specifies the per unit stator resistance of the motor. It is used in the calculation of the
stator voltage and in the software reconstruction of the rotor flux. Stator resistance is usually less than
0.01 pu unless the motor is very small or the motor cables are very long. This parameter can be set
manually or by auto-tuning.
Warning: An excessively high stator resistance may cause the drive to become unstable at low speed
and high load.
Total Leakage Inductance [L Total Leakage]
Linear Number: 130
Default Value: 0.25 pu
Minimum Value: 0.00 pu
Maximum Value: 0.75 pu
Access Level: Advanced
Read/Write: Read/Write
This parameter specifies the per-unit total leakage, short circuit, or transient inductance (Ls') of the motor.
It is approximately equal to the sum of the stator and rotor leakage inductances, and the cable
inductance, and has a typical value of 0.20 pu. The leakage inductance parameter is used in the
calculation of the stator voltage and in the software reconstruction of the rotor flux. This parameter can
be set manually or by auto-tuning.
Warning: An excessively high leakage inductance may cause the drive to become unstable at high speed
and high load.
Rotor Time Constant [T Rotor]
Linear Number: 132
Default Value: 1.50 sec
Minimum Value: 0.10 sec
Maximum Value: 10.00 sec
Access Level: Advanced
Read/Write: Read/Write
This parameter specifies the rotor time constant of the motor. Typical value is in the range 1.0 to 2.0 sec.
The rotor time constant varies significantly with rotor temperature (due to the change in rotor resistance),
which has some effect on the response of the flux regulator and the calculation of the slip frequency for
induction motors. This parameter can be set manually or by auto-tuning.
