Listed below are some variable speed AC motor control concepts with which the user of the 
Q9 Plus Adjustable Speed Drive should become familiar.

Motor Autotuning

Motor production methods may cause minor dif fer ences in motor oper atio n. The negativ e ef fects of these
differences may be minimized by u sing the Autotune feature of th e ASD. Autotuning is a function of the
ASD that measures several parameters of the connected motor and places these readings in a stored table.
The software uses the information in the table to help optimize the response of the ASD to application­specific load and operational requirements. The Autotuning function may be enabled for automatic
tuning, configured manually at F400, or disabled.

The measured parameters include the rotor resistance, the
inductance, rotational inertia values, and leakage inductance values.

stator resistance, the required excitation

Pulse Wid t h Modulation Operation

The ASD uses sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control. The output current waveform
generated by the ASD approaches that of a perfect sine wave; however, the output waveform is slightly
distorted. For this reason, the motor may produce more heat, noise, and vibration when operated by an
ASD than when operated directly from commercial power.

Low Speed Operation

Operating a general-purpose motor at lower speeds may cause a decrease in the cooling ability of the
motor. Reducing the torque requirement of the motor at lower speeds will decrease the generated heat at
lower speeds.

When the motor is to be operated at low speed (less than 50% of full speed) and at the rated torque
continuously, a Toshiba VF motor (designed for use in conjunction with an ASD) is recommended.

Overload Protection Adjustment

The ASD soft ware monitors the out put current of the system and determines when an overload condition
occurs. The overload current level is a percentage of the rating of the motor. This function protects the
motor from overload.

The default setting for the over load d etection circui t is set to the maxi mum rated cu rrent of t he ASD at t he
factory. This setting will have to be adjusted to match the rating of the motor with which the ASD is to be
used. To change the overload reference level, see Motor Overload Protection Level 1 on pg. 174.

Operation Above 60 Hz

A motor produces more noise and vibration when it is operated at frequencies above 60 Hz. Also, when
operating a motor above 60 Hz, the rated limit of the motor or its bearings may be exceeded; this may void
the motor warranty .

Contact the motor manufacturer for additional information before operating the motor above 60 Hz.

10 Q9 Plus ASD Insta ll ation and Operatio n Manual

Power Factor Correction

Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone [phone] | Email: [e-mail]

DO NOT connect a power factor correction capacitor or surge absorber to the output of the ASD.

If the ASD is used with a motor that is equipped with a capacitor for power factor correction, remove the
capacitor from the motor.

Connecting either of these devices to the output of the ASD may cause the ASD to malfunction and trip,
or the output device may cause an over-current condition resulting in damage to the device or the ASD.

Light Load Conditions

When a motor is operated under a continuous light load (i.e., at a load of less than 50% of its rated
capacity) or it drives a load which produces a very small amount of inertia, it may become unstable and
produce abnormal vibration or trips because of an over-current condition. In such a case, the carrier
frequency may be lowered to compensate for this undesirable condition (see Program Special 
Carrier Frequency PWM Carrier Frequency).

Note: W

hen operating in the Vector Control mode the carrier frequency should be set to

2.2 kHz or above.

Motor/Load Combinations

When the ASD is used in combination with o ne of the f ollowing motors or loads, it may result in unstable
operation.

• A motor with a rated capacity that exceeds the motor capacity recommended for the ASD.

• An explosion-proof motor.

When using the ASD with an explosion-proof motor or other special motor types, lower the carrier
frequency to stabilize the operation. DO NOT set the carrier frequency below 2.2 kHz if operating the
system in the vector control mode.

Note: When operating in the Vector Control mode the carrier frequency should be set to

2.2 kHz or above.

If the motor being used is coupled to a load that has a large backlash or if coupled to a reciprocating load,
use one of the following procedures to stabilize motor operation.

• Adjust the S-Pattern acceleration/deceleration setting,

• If operating in the Vector control mode, adjust the response time, or

•Switch to the Constant Torque control mode.

Motor Braking

The motor may continue to r otate and coas t to a stop afte r being shut of f due to the i nertia of the load. If an
immediate stop is required, a braking system should be used. For further information on braking systems
see DC Injection Braking Current on pg. 125.

Over-Current Protection

Each Q9 Plus ASD model is designed for a specified operating po wer range. The Q9 Plus ASD will incur
a trip if the design specifications are exceeded.

However, the Q9 Plus ASD may be operated at 110% of the specified output-current range for a limited
amount of time as indicated in the section titled Voltage/Current Specifications on pg. 264. Also, the Stall

Prevention Level (see F601) may be adjusted to help with nuisance over-current trips.

When using the Q9 Plus ASD for an application that controls a motor which is rated significantly less
than the maximum current rating of the Q9 Plus ASD, the over-current limit setting will have to be
changed to match the application. See Motor Overload Protection Level 1 for further information on this
ASD/motor configuration.

ASD Capacity

The Q9 Plus ASD must not be used with a motor that has a significan tly larg er capacity, even if the motor
is operated under a small load. A Q9 Plus ASD being used in this way will be susceptible to a high-output
peak current which may result in nuisance tripping.

Do not apply a level of input voltage to a Q9 Plus ASD that is beyond that which the Q9 Plus ASD is
rated. The input voltage may be stepped down when required with the use of a step-down transformer or
some other type of voltage reduction system.

Using Vector Control

Using Vector Control enables the system to produce very high torque over the entire operating range
even at extremely low speeds. Vector Control may be used with or without feedback. However, using
feedback increases the speed accuracy for applications requiring precise speed control. Enabling the
Automatic Energy Savings further increases the efficiency of the Q9 Plus ASD while maintaining its
robust performance.

Vector Control is not capable of operating multiple motors connected in parallel.
See V/f Pattern on pg. 87 for further information on using Vector Control.

Hand/Auto Operation

While running in the Hand mode at a non-zero speed, if the RJ45 connector is removed from the EOI, the
Q9 Plus ASD remains in the Hand mode running at the last commanded speed even though the Hand

LED is off. The Q9 Plus ASD output remains at the frequency of the Frequen cy Command field at the
time of the disconnect for the duration of the disconnect.

To prevent this condition, before disconnecting the RJ45 connector, ensure that the Q9 Plus ASD is off.

The ASD may be set up initially by performing a few simple configuration settings. To operate properly,
the ASD must be securely mounted and connected to a power source (3-phase AC input at the R/L1, S/
L2, and T/L3 terminals). The control termi nals of the ASD may be used by connecti ng the terminals of
the Terminal Board (P/N 072314P903) to the proper sensors or signal input sources (see the section

and

titled I/O and Control on pg. 20
System performance may be further enhanced by assigning a function to the output terminals of the

Terminal Board and connecting the terminals to the proper indicators or actuators (LEDs, relays,
contactors, etc.).

Note: The optional Q9 Plus ASD interface boards may be used to expand the I/O

functionality of the ASD.

Installation Notes

When a brake-equipped motor is connected to the ASD, it is possible that the brake may not release at
startup because of insufficient voltage. T o avoid this, DO NOT connect the brake or the brake contactor
to the output of the ASD.

If an output contactor is u sed for bypass operation, it must be interlocked such that comm ercial power is
never applied to the output terminals of the ASD (U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3).

Figure 9 on pg. 23).

DO NOT apply commercial power to the ASD output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3.
If a secondary magnetic contactor ( MC) is u sed betw een the output of the ASD and the motor, it should

be interlocked such that the ST – CC connection is disconnected before the output contactor is opened.
DO NOT open and then close a secondary magnetic contactor between the ASD and the motor unless

the ASD is off and the motor is not rotating.

Note: Re-application of power via a secondary contact while the Q9 Plus ASD is on or

while the motor is still turning may cause ASD damage.

The Q9 Plus ASD input voltage should remain within 10% of the specified input voltage range. Input
voltages approaching the upper or lower-limit settings may require that the over-voltage and under­voltage stall protection level parameters be adjusted. Voltages outside of the permissible tolerance
should be avoided.

The freque ncy of the input power should be ±2
DO NOT use an ASD with a motor that has a power rating higher than the rated output of the ASD.
The Q9 Plus ASD is designed to operate NEMA B motors. Consult with the TIC Customer Support

Center before using the ASD for special applications such as with an explosion-proof motor or
applications with a piston load.

Disconnect the ASD from the motor before megging or applying a bypass voltage to the motor.
Interface problems may occur when an ASD is used in conjunction with some types of process

controllers. Signal isolation may be required to prevent controller and/or ASD malfunction (contact the
TIC Customer Support Center or the process controller manufacturer for additional information about
compatibility and signal isolation).

Grounding Capacitor

The Grounding Capacitor plays a role in minimizing the effects of leakage current through the ASD
system and through ground paths to other systems. Leakage current may cause the improper operation
of earth-leakage current breakers, leakage-current relays, ground relays, fire alarms, and other sensors
— and it may cause superimposed noise on CRT screens.

The Grounding Capacitor Switch allows the user to quickly change the v
capacitance of the 3-phase input circuit. See figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 on pg. 18 for an electrical depiction of
the leakage-reduction functionality and the methods us
used is typeform-specific.
