Safety and operating instructions for drive power converters (as per: Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC ) 1. General During operation, drive power converters may, depending on their protection class, have live, bare, moving or rotating parts or hot surfaces. Unauthorised removal of covers, improper use, incorrect installation or operation causes a risk of serious personal injury or material damage. Further information can be found in this documentation.

The drive power converter must be protected against impermissible loads. Especially during transport and handling, components must not be deformed and/or insulation distances must not be changed. Touching of electronic components and contacts must be avoided. Drive power converters have electrostatically sensitive components, which can be easily damaged by incorrect handling. Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed (this may cause a health hazard!).

All transportation, installation, initialisation and maintenance work must be carried out by qualified personnel (compliant with IEC 364, CENELEC HD 384, DIN VDE 0100, IEC 664 or DIN VDE 0110, and national accident prevention regulations).

5. Electrical connection

For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with the assembly, installation, commissioning and operation of this product and who have the relevant qualifications for their work.

The electrical installation must be implemented according to the applicable regulations (e.g. cable cross-section, fuses, ground lead connections). Further instructions can be found in the documentation.

2. Proper use in Europe

Information about EMC-compliant installation – such as shielding, earthing, location of filters and installation of cables can be found in the drive power converter documentation. These instructions must be complied with even with CE marked drive power converters. Compliance with the limiting values specified in the EMC regulations is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the system or machine.

Drive power converters are components intended for installation in electrical systems or machines. When installed in machines, the drive power converter cannot be commissioned (i.e. commencement of the proper use) until it has been ensured that the machine meets the provisions of the EC Directive 2006/42/EEC (machine directive); EN 60204 must also be complied with. Commissioning (i.e. implementation of the proper use) is only permitted when the EMC directive (2004/108/EEC) is complied with. CE-labelled drive power converters meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC. The harmonised standards for drive power converters listed in the declaration of conformity are used. Technical data and information for connection conditions can be found on the rating plate and in the documentation, and must be complied with. The drive power converters may only be used for safety functions which are described and explicitly approved.

When working on live drive power converters, the applicable national accident prevention regulations must be complied with (e.g. VBG A3, formerly VBG 4).

6. operation Where necessary, systems where drive power converters are installed must be equipped with additional monitoring and protective equipment according to the applicable safety requirements, e.g. legislation concerning technical equipment, accident prevention regulations, etc. The parameterisation and configuration of the drive power converter must be selected so that no hazards can occur. All covers must be kept closed during operation. 7. Maintenance and repairs

Information regarding transport, storage and correct handling must be complied with.

After the drive power converter is disconnected from the power supply, live equipment components and power connections should not be touched immediately, because of possible charged capacitors. Observe the applicable information signs located on the drive power converter.

4. Installation

Further information can be found in this documentation.

3. Transport, storage

The installation and cooling of the equipment must be implemented according to the regulations in the corresponding documentation.

These safety instructions must be kept in a safe place!

About this document

Intended use of the frequency inverter The compliance with the operating instructions is necessary for fault-free operation and the acceptance of possible warranty claims. These operating instructions must be read before working with the device! These operating instructions contain important information about servicing. They must therefore be kept close to the device. SK 500E series frequency inverters are devices for industrial and commercial systems used for the operation of three-phase asynchronous motors with squirrel-cage rotors and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors - PMSM (SK 54xE and above). These motors must be suitable for operation with frequency inverters. Other loads must not be connected to the devices. Series SK 500E frequency inverters are devices for stationary installation in control cabinets. All details regarding technical data and permissible conditions at the installation site must be complied with. Commissioning (implementation of the intended use) is not permitted until it has been ensured that the machine complies with the EMC directive 204/108/EEC and that the conformity of the end product meets the machine directive 2006/42/EEC (note EN 60204).  Getriebebau NORD GmbH & Co.

General information SK 53xE and SK 54xE frequency inverters are intermediate voltage circuit converters with fully digital microprocessor technology for controlling the speed of 3-phase motors. In combination with an incremental encoder or an absolute encoder the standard components form a highprecision positioning drive:     

The SK53xE provides 63 programmable absolute positions. The SK54xE provides 252 programmable absolute positions. By means of the position control, the position is maintained even with large load fluctuations. Time-optimised and safe travel up to the target position by means of path calculation. In addition to travelling to absolute positions, up to 4 step lengths (so-called position increments) can be stored in the frequency inverter.  Required positions can also be transferred via a field bus interface.  The positioning function is available as a function extension for the SK 530E and above.

The parameters (P6xx) required for positioning are inserted into the existing inverter menu structure as an additional menu group (Positioning). The specified setpoint position can be input via the existing digital inputs, the Bus IO In Bits, or via the USS protocol or other field bus system. A switchover from speed control to position control (Positioning) can be achieved by switching over the parameters. Synchronous operation functionality between a master and one or more slave drives is possible via the integrated CAN bus or RS485 interface. In addition, as an extension to the synchronous operation functionality, the "Flying Saw" enables the slave to be deliberately and independently synchronised to or uncoupled from the master. A round axis function (Modulo axes) is also available for rotating platforms and similar applications. This controls an endless axis with optimisation of travel. According to the required position, the drive rotates clockwise or anticlockwise.

NOTE

This description (BU 0510) only contains a selection of the functions and parameters which are specific and relevant for the positioning function. All standard functions and parameters can be found in the manual (BU 0500). Due to software updates the parameters described here may differ from those of your device. Therefore care should be taken that both the current NORD CON version and the version of your ParameterBox have the latest software version. In case of doubt, please contact your local NORD agency. The latest version of all descriptions can be found on the Getriebebau NORD GmbH & Co. KG Internet page (www.nord.com).

Encoder connections The internal zero point of the inverter can be adjusted by specifying an offset value. A possible reduction ratio between the position measurement system (encoder) and the motor can be taken into account by the use of transformation and reduction ratios. The motor and the position measurement system (encoder) do not need to have the same direction of rotation. A negative ratio must be set if the direction of rotation is different.

2 Encoder connection

2.2 Colour and contact assignments for encoders The incremental encoder connection is an input for a type with two tracks and TTL-compatible signals for EIA RS 422-compliant drivers. The maximum current consumption of incremental encoders must not exceed 150 mA. The supply voltage for the rotary encoder is 10-30V. The pulse number per rotation can be between 500 and 8192 increments. This is set with the normal scaling via parameter P301 "Incremental encoder pulse number" in the menu group "Control parameters". For cable -1 lengths > 20 m and motor speeds above 1500 min the encoder should not have more than 2048 pulses/rotation. For longer cable lengths the cable cross-section must be selected large enough so that the voltage drop in the cable is not too great. This particularly affects the supply cable, in which the cross-section can be increased by connecting several conductors in parallel. Unlike incremental encoders, for sine encoders or SIN/COS encoders the signals are not in the form of pulses, but rather in the form of sine signals (shifted by 90°).

ATTENTION The rotation of the incremental encoder must correspond to that of the motor. Therefore, depending on the rotation direction of the encoder to the motor (possibly reversed), a negative number must be set in parameter P301.

NOTE The voltage difference between tracks A and B can be measured with the aid of parameter P709 [-09] and [-10]. If the incremental encoder is rotated, the value of both tracks must jump between -0.8V and 0.8V. If the voltage only jumps between 0 and 0.8V the relevant rack is faulty. The position can no longer be determined via the incremental encoder. We recommend to replace the encoder!

2.2.1 Incremental encoders According to the resolution (pulse number), incremental encoders generate a defined number of pulses for each rotation of the encoder shaft (Track A / Track A inverse) With this, the precise speed of the encoder or motor can be measured by the frequency inverter. By the use of a second track (B / B inverse) shifted by 90° (¼ period), the direction of rotation can also be determined. In turn, the "zero track" (0 / 0 inverse) provides exactly one pulse per rotation and can therefore be used as a referencing signal for positioning systems. The voltage source can be an external source or the internal voltage (according to the frequency inverter version: 12V /15V /24V). Cable colours, for incremental encoder

*Zero track not necessary for speed feedback or operation of asynchronous machines.

Table 1: Connection assignments for incremental encoders

Evaluation of the zero track and the Sense signal is necessary for the operation of PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors). The zero impulse is then used for synchronisation of the rotor position. The offset between the zero pulse and the actual "zero" rotor position is set in parameter P334 "Encoder offset". If the Sense cable (+5V Sense and 0V Sense) is not connected, there is no synchronisation to the zero pulse. The zero track is not required for asynchronous machines. Alternative to the commutation of the position, Hiperface, BISS, Endat or SSI encoders with additional Sin/Cos or incremental tracks may be used.

NOTE If there are deviations from the standard equipment (Type 5820.0H40, 10-30V encoder, TTL/RS422) for the motors, please note the accompanying data sheet or consult your supplier.

2.2.2 Sine encoders (SIN/COS encoders) (SK 540E and above) The use or function of sine encoders is comparable with that for incremental encoders. However, the encoder provides sine wave signals instead of digital pulses.

2.2.3 Hiperface encoders (SK 540E and above) Hiperface is a mixture of incremental encoder and absolute encoder and combines the advantages of both encoder types. The absolute value is initially only formed when the device is switched on and is communicated by the RS485 specification bus parameter interface to the external counter in the controller, which then continues counting incrementally from this absolute value using the analog sine/cosine signal. During operation the counted position is continuously compared with the measured absolute position of the encoder. Hiperface encoders are suitable for positioning in combination with servo mode. The requirements for the analog signal are shown in the following table. It must be noted that the tolerances in the voltages affect the precision of the determined position. The supply voltage for the encoder is 7-12V. An external source or the internal 12V voltage can be used as the voltage supply.

The communication frequency of the inverter is 200kHz. Endat encoders are also available with an integrated incremental track. The settings for the incremental track correspond to those of a conventional incremental encoder. The supply voltage for the encoder is 3.6-14V.

2.2.5 SSI encoders (SK 540E and above) SSI encoders whose signals are TTL-compatible according to EIA RS 422 can be used. The zero point of the absolute encoder is determined by the position of the absolute encoder and should therefore be adjusted by installation. The clock frequency is 200kHz. With this clock frequency, cable lengths of up to 80m are possible. The cables should be twisted in pairs and screened. The supply voltage for the encoder is 10-30V. The voltage source can be an external source or the internal voltage (according to the frequency inverter version: 12V /15V /24V). Function

2.3 CANopen absolute encoders The connection of an absolute encoder to the SK 53xE / SK 54xE is carried out via the internal CANopen interface. As a minimum requirement, the absolute encoder to be connected must have a CAN Bus interface with CANopen protocol. The internal CAN Bus with CANopen protocol can be used for simultaneous control and parameterisation as well as the readout of the absolute encoder position. The SK 53xE / SK 54xE supports CANopen absolute encoders with the communication profile DS 406. If an absolute encoder supplied by Getriebebau Nord GmbH & Co. KG is used, automatic parameterisation of the absolute encoder via the frequency inverter is possible. Only the CAN address and the baud rate of the encoder still need to be set with the rotary or dip switches on the encoder. All other necessary parameters are set by the frequency inverter via the CAN Bus in the encoder.

Function description

3.1 Introduction A wide range of positioning and position control tasks can be performed with the positioning function. In order to facilitate the decision as to which configuration provides the optimum solution for the task, the various processes for the setting of setpoints and recording of the actual values are described in the following sections. The setpoint can be specified as either an absolute or a relative position. An absolute position is recommended for applications with fixed positions, for example with travelling trolleys, lifts, shelf access devices etc. A relative position is advisable primarily for all axes which operate in steps, especially for endless axes such as rotating platforms and pulsed compartmentalised conveyor belts.Specification of setpoints is also possible via the bus (e.g. Profibus, CAN-Bus, …). Here the position can be specified as a value or combination of bits as a position number or increment. If switching between positioning and speed specifications is required, this can be realised by switching between parameter sets. A position regulation in parameter P600 "Positioning" is parameterised to "ON" in one parameter set and to "OFF" in another parameter set. Switching between the parameter sets can take place at any time, i.e. even during operation.

3.2 Position detection 3.2.1 Position detection with incremental encoders For an absolute actual position, a reference point is needed, with the aid of which the zero position of the axis is determined. The position detection operates as long as the frequency inverter is supplied with power. The pulses of the incremental encoder are counted in the inverter and added to the actual position. The resolution or pulse number of the incremental encoder is set in parameter P301 "Incremental Encoder Pulse Number". By setting negative pulse numbers, the direction of rotation can be adapted to the installation orientation of the rotary encoder. After switching on the inverter supply voltage, the actual position = 0 (P604"Encoder Type" without the option "Save Position") or it is at the value which was present on shut-down (P604 "Encoder Type" with the option "Save Position").

NOTE With SK 5x5E devices the frequency inverter control unit must be supplied with power for a further 5 minutes after the last position change in order to permanently save the data.

The recording of the position functions independently of the enabling signal of the inverter and parameter P600 "Positioning". The inverter determines the actual position for as long as it is supplied with power. Changes in position which are carried out with the inverter switched off do not cause a change in the actual position. Therefore a reference point run is therefore normally necessary after each "Mains switch-on" of the frequency inverter. If the inverter is not operated in Servo- Mode P300 "Servo Mode" the incremental encoder can also be mounted at another position than on the motor shaft. In this case, the speed ratio of the motor to the incremental encoder must be parameterised. Rotations of the incremental encoder are converted to motor revolutions by the inverter with the aid of parameter P607 "Speed Ratio" and P608 "Reduction Ratio". nM: Motor rotations nM = nG * Üb / Un nG:: Incremental encoder rotations Üb: Speed Ratio (P607[-01]) Un: Reduction Ratio (P608[-01])

Example: The incremental encoder is installed on the output side of the gear unit. The gear unit has a ratio of i = 26.3. The following values are parameterised. P607 Speed ratio: 263; 20

P608 Reduction ratio: 10

Subject to technical alterations

BU 0510 GB-3911

3 Description of function

NOTE The direction of rotation of the incremental encoder must comply with the direction of rotation of the motor. With a positive output frequency (clockwise rotation) the actual position value must increase. If the direction of rotation is not correct, this can be adjusted with a negative value in P607 "Speed Ratio".

With the aid of a value which can be parameterised in parameter P609 [-01] "Offset Position" the zero point can be set to a different position to that which is determined by the reference point. The offset is applied after conversion of the encoder rotations to motor rotations. After changes to the speed ratio/reduction ratio P607 [-01] and P608 [-01] the offset position value must be entered again.

3.2.1.1

Reference point run via digital inputs or BUS I/O In bits

The Reference point run is started via one of the digital inputs or one of the Bus IO In bits. For this a digital input must be programmed for the appropriate function (P420-P425 or P470 "Function Digital Input", setting 22). For the Bus IO In Bits the corresponding Bit / Array (P480 "Bus IO In Bits", setting 22) must be parameterised. The direction of the reference point search is specified via the signals "Enable Left/Right". The current setpoint frequency determines the speed of the reference point run. Via one of the digital inputs the reference point is also read in. For this a digital input must be programmed for the appropriate function (P420-P425 or P470 "Function Digital Input", setting 23). For the Bus IO In Bits the corresponding Bit / Array (P480 "Bus IO In Bits", setting 23) must be parameterised. In order to also realise the function "Reference Point Run" via a serial interface or via the Bus IO In bits, one of the "Bus Setpoint Values" (P546, P547 and P548) must be set to the setting "Bus IO In Bits 0...7" and under P480 "Function Bus I/O IN Bits" the function setting 22 must be assigned to the corresponding bit. Sequence of the reference point run: With the reference point run enabled, the drive unit moves in the direction of its setpoint value (Enable Right/Left, +/- Setpoint). On reaching the reference point switch, the signal at the digital input or Bus IO In Bit "Reference Point" reverses the direction of travel. Therefore the drive unit moves away from the reference switch again. If the drive unit is already at the switch at the start of the reference point run, the reference point run is immediately started with the inverse direction of rotation. After leaving the switch, the actual position is set to the value which is set in parameter P609 "Offset Position". If the value in parameter P609 "Offset Position" is not "0" then the drive immediately moves to its new zero position and remains at this position until the "Reference Point Run" signal is removed. In the setpoint mode P610 "Position Increment Array" = 1 (relative positioning) the setpoint position is simultaneously set to 0. With appropriate parameterisation of one of the parameters "Digital Output Function" (P434, P441, P450, P455, setting 20 - reference point), the frequency inverter reports the end of the reference point run with corresponding adoption of the reference point. The feedback for the end of the reference point run can also be reported via the Bus IO OUT bits (P481, "Bus IO Out Bits", setting 20). If an incremental encoder without the function "Save Position" is used (See P604 "Encoder Type") the actual position in parameter P601 "Current Position" is set to "0" when the frequency inverter is switched on. For parameterisation with the function "Save Position" the last saved value is taken as the actual position. The relay or output message "Reference Point" shows that a valid reference point is available. The relay or outputs are switched off when a reference point run is started and are switched on again after completion of the reference point run. If the option "Save Position" (P604 "Encoder Type") is not selected (factory setting) the relay or the output are switched off when the inverter is switched on. If the option "Save Position" is selected the relay or the output are switched on immediately after the inverter is switched on. Control via one of the Bus IO Bits is correspondingly identical.

The reference point run can be cancelled by removing the "Enable" signal or by "Emergency Stop" or "Block Voltage".

NOTE In this case the frequency inverter does not generate an error message.

For further details of the possible functionality settings, please refer to the relevant parameter description in Section 4 Parameter settings. 3.2.1.2

Reset position via digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits

tAs an alternative to a reference point run, one of the digital inputs can be programmed to the setting "Reset Position" (P420-P425 or P470, setting 61). Control via one of the Bus IO Bits is correspondingly identical. In contrast to the reference point function, the input or the Bus IO Bit is always effective and when the signal changes immediately sets the actual position from 0 → 1 to 0. If an offset has been parameterised in parameter P609 "Offset Position", the axis will be displaced by this value. Resetting of the position is carried out independently from the setting of the "Positioning" in parameter P600. In "Position Setpoint Mode" the setpoint position (in parameter P610, 1 = Position increment array) is set to 0. The precision of reproducibility of the referencing via Reset Position is not as good as with the reference point run - as it depends on the tolerance of the reference point switch and the speed with which the switch is approached. However, the precision achieved is sufficient for many applications. In addition, referencing can be performed without interrupting the positioning. The function "Reset Position" can also be realised via a serial interface or the Bus IO In Bits. For this, one of the bus setpoint values (P546, P547 and P548) must be set to 17 "Bus IO In bits 0...7" and under P480 "Function Bus I/O In Bits" the function setting 61 must be assigned to the corresponding bit. For further details of the possible functionality settings, please refer to the relevant parameter description in Section 4.

3.2.2 Position detection with absolute encoders The absolute encoder transfers the actual position value to the frequency inverter in digital form. The position is always completely available in the absolute encoder and is also correct after displacement of the axis when the inverter is switched off. A reference point run is therefore not necessary. If an absolute encoder is connected, the parameter P604 "Encoder Type" must be parameterised to one of the absolute functions (Setting 1 or 5-15) of the relevant absolute encoder. The resolution of the encoder is set in parameter P605. Parameter

3 Description of function

If the absolute encoder is not mounted on the motor shaft the gear ratio between the motor and the absolute encoder must be parameterised. Rotations of the absolute encoder are converted to motor revolutions by the inverter with the aid of parameter P607 "Speed Ratio" and P608 "Reduction Ratio".

The direction of rotation of the absolute encoder must comply with the direction of rotation of the motor. With a positive output frequency (clockwise rotation) the actual position value must increase. If the direction of rotation is not correct, this can be adjusted with a negative value in P607 "Speed Ratio". The zero point of the axis can be adjusted with the aid of value which can be parameterised in parameter P609 [-02] "Offset Position". The offset is applied after the calculation. After changes to the Speed Ratio/Reduction Ratio P607 [-02] and P608 [-02] the value in parameter P609 "Offset Position" must be entered again. If the absolute encoder is not mounted on the motor shaft the gear ratio between the motor and the absolute encoder must be parameterised. Rotations of the absolute encoder are converted to motor revolutions by the inverter with the aid of parameter P607 "Speed Ratio" and P608 "Reduction Ratio".

The direction of rotation of the absolute encoder must comply with the direction of rotation of the motor. With a positive output frequency (clockwise rotation) the actual position value must increase. If the direction of rotation is not correct, this can be adjusted with a negative value in P607 "Speed Ratio". The zero point of the axis can be adjusted with the aid of value which can be parameterised in parameter P609 [-02] "Offset Position". The offset is applied after the calculation. After changes to the Speed Ratio/Reduction Ratio P607 [-02] and P608 [-02] the value in parameter P609 "Offset Position" must be entered again.

NOTE

BU 0510 GB-3911

The maximum possible position in parameter P615 "Maximum Position" results from the resolution of the encoder and the Speed Ratio/Reduction Ratio (P607 and P608). Under no circumstances can the maximum value exceed +/- 65535 (16Bit) rotations. Circulation is not permissible. Endless items, which mainly run in a single direction must be realised with an incremental encoder (See Section 3.2.1). Position setpoints should be internally limited to the maximum possible value range.

Supplementary settings - SSI absolute encoders

Protocol settings for SSI encoders are made in parameter P617. In detail, this defines:

3.2.2.2



the format in which the positions are transferred (binary / Gray code),



whether a loss of voltage to the encoder is communicated to the FI ("Power Fail Bit") and



whether the encoder supports the communication version "Multiply Transmit" for which the position is communicated a second time in a mirrored form in order to improve the reliability of the transfer. Supplementary settings - CANopen absolute encoders

The baud rate and the CAN address must be set on the encoder. For the assignment of the switches on the encoder, please refer to the manufacturer´s operating instructions. The CAN address for the absolute encoder should be set in parameter P515 "CAN Address" according to the following formula: Encoder CAN address = Inverter CAN address (P515[-01] ) + 1 The CAN baud rate set in the encoder must be identical to the parameter P514 "CAN Baud Rate" and all other participants in the bus system. If parameterisation of the encoder is carried out via the frequency inverter, the transmission cycle for the absolute encoder position is simultaneously set via the baud rate. For the operation of several CANopen absolute encoders on a bus system, e.g. for synchronous operation, different transmission cycle times can be set for the CAN master and the CANopen absolute encoders. With the parameter P552 "CAN Cycle Time" the cycle time for the system bus master mode can be parameterised in Array [-01 and for the CANopen absolute encoder in Array [-02]. Care must be taken that the parameterised values are not lower than the values in the column for the minimum values of the actual cycle time. This value depends on the baud rate set in parameter P514 "CAN Baud Rate".

The possible bus load in the system always depends on the real-time specific to the system. Very good results are achieved with a bus load less than 40%. Under no circumstances should a bus load greater than 80% be selected. For the estimation of the bus load, the other possible bus traffic (setpoint and actual values for the FIs and other bus participants) should also be taken into account.

3.2.2.3

Resetting absolute encoders

With the exception of SSI encoders, absolute encoders can be set to the value "0" or to the value set in P609 [02] "Offset Position" via the functions "Reference Point Run"(see 3.2.1.1). However, the precision of resetting the encoder position greatly depends on the actual speed of movement, the bus load, the baud rate (CANopen encoders) and the type of encoder. Therefore it is urgently recommended that absolute encoders are only reset when they are at a standstill. With an SSI encoder the position can only be changed via a position offset P609 [-03]. Resetting ("Reset position" / "Reference Point Run") is not possible. If both an incremental encoder and an absolute encoder are connected to the frequency inverter, both encoders are reset by performing the functions "Reference Point Run" or "Reset Position". 3.2.2.4

Parameterisation on the frequency inverter

Communication settings If a CANopen absolute encoder is used for position detection, the CAN baud rate (P514) and the CAN address (P515) must be parameterised on both the encoder and the frequency inverter.

NOTE If an IO extension (e.g. SK TU4-IOE) is also used, it must be noted that the addresses 10 … 13 and 20 … 23 are reserved for this module (For details see Manual BU0200).

After this, the CAN Bus must be supplied with 24V in order to activate communication between all the connected participants. For all other absolute encoders such as Endat, SSI, … (SK 540E and above), no communication settings are required between the frequency inverter and the associated encoder.

Manual commissioning of the CANopen absolute encoder

In addition to "automatic" configuration (Auto) a "manual" setting (Manual) of the encoder is also possible. With "Auto" the parameterisation is carried out by the frequency inverter. With manual commissioning, a CAN Bus master is required in addition to the frequency inverter and the encoder. This must switch the encoder into the bus status "Operational" and set the following parameters. -

Parameters 0x6001 and 0x6002: resolution, according to the settings in P605 "Absolute Encoder".

-

Parameter 0x62000: cycle time. The parameterisation of a value ≤ 20ms is recommended. The selected cycle time influences the reaction speed of the positioning control in the frequency encoder.

3.2.3 Encoder monitoring If an absolute encoder is parameterised in the frequency inverter and the positioning control is enabled in parameter P600 "Positioning Control", the function of the encoder is permanently monitored. Although the encoder position is displayed when "Positioning Control" P600 is not enabled, no error messages are generated in case of problems. Therefore emergency or manual operation is always possible. In case of encoder error, the last valid position is retained in the frequency inverter. If an absolute and an incremental encoder are present, the positioning difference between the two encoders can be monitored with parameter P631 "Slip Error Abs/Inc". The maximum permissible deviation between the absolute and the incremental encoder is specified by the value set in this parameter. With the value "0" slip error monitoring is disabled. If the maximum permissible deviation is exceeded the error message "E013 (E14.6)" is activated. The gear ratio or the positions where the two encoders are installed may differ. For each of the two encoders a parameter value for P607 "Speed Ratio", P608 "Reduction Ratio" and P609 "Offset Position" can be set. If there is no second, redundant encoder for position monitoring a slip error for the position can be specified via the parameter P630 "Pos. Slip Error". In this case the current position is compared with the change in position calculated from the current speed. On reaching a target position, the estimated position is set to the actual position value of the encoder in order to prevent addition of errors over time. If the positioning difference exceeds the slip error value set in P630 "Pos. Slip Error", the error message "Error E013 (E14.5)" is activated. For larger travel paths larger values are necessary in P630. The necessary value is best determined by experiment. With the value "0" slip error monitoring is disabled. The permissible operating range can be restricted with the parameters P616 "Minimum Position" and P615 "Maximum Position". If the drive unit departs from the permissible range, the error message "Error E013 (E14.7) maximum position exceeded" or "Error E013 (E14.8) minimum position undershot" is activated. With a set value of "0" the relevant position monitoring is disabled. In parameter P604 "Encoder Type", setting 3, 4, 5 or 7 the position monitoring is also not enabled.

NOTE Position setpoint values which are greater than the set value for "Minimum Position" in parameter P616 and "Maximum Position" in parameter P615 will be internally limited to these set values in the inverter.

In the function "Optimum Path" the multi-turn resolution of the encoder can be additionally limited for the overflow point via parameter P615 "Maximum Position". The multiturn resolution in rotations (1 rotation = 1,000 rev) is entered in parameter P615. It is also possible to enter a non-integer value of rotations (for example see Section 3.2.4.2). After the setting or selection of the encoder type in parameter P604 "Distance measuring system" the function of the encoder can be tested via parameter P601 "Actual Position".

3.2.4.1

Optimised path positioning with a single rotation of the encoder

Rotating platform applications in which the individual positions are distributed around the circumference require a path optimised positioning function for optimum operation. However, with a standard positioning, with a change of the setpoint position from -0.375 to + 0.375 the drive unit would select the long movement path "around the outside" (See Fig. 6 / a). In contrast, positioning with path optimisation automatically selects the shortest path and therefore independently decides on the direction of rotation of the drive unit. Here, the drive 2 unit passes over the overflow point of the relevant rotary encoder (See Fig. 6 / b). Positioning with path optimisation can be set with all encoders (see table above). The zero point of a single-turn absolute encoder is determined by where it is mounted and can be varied via the parameter P609 [-02] "Offset Position". If an incremental encoder is used, either a "Reference Point Run" or a "Reset Position" function must be performed in order to determine the zero position. The zero position can also be varied by means of an entry in parameter P609 [-01] "Offset Position". The following example is for a speed ratio or reduction ratio of "1". The maximum value of the position or the overflow point is calculated as follows: nmax: Maximum value of motor rotation nmax = 0,5 * Üb / Un

Optimised path positioning with arbitrary rotation of the encoder 3

If more than one rotation of the encoder is required for the entire travel path, the overflow point must be determined. This results from half of the entire travel path. This value must be entered in parameter P615 "Maximum Position". Here it should be noted that the precision of the value may have a maximum of three decimal places. A deviant error causes an additional error with each overflow. NOTE:

NOTE A multi-turn absolute encoder can also be used as a single-turn absolute encoder. For this, the multi-turn resolution must be set to "0" (see Table 16).

3.3 Specifying the setpoint Three different procedures are available for specifying the setpoint. The specification of the setpoint can be made via:  digital inputs or Bus IO In Bits as absolute position by means of the position array  digital inputs or Bus IO In Bits as relative position by means of the position increment array  Bus setpoint value For the specification of the setpoint value it does not matter how the actual position is obtained. Absolute, relative and bus setpoint values can be specified, regardless of whether an absolute encoder or incremental encoder are used to detect the position.

3.3.1 Position array – absolute setpoint position via digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits In parameter P610 "Setpoint Mode", up to 63 positions stored in parameter P613 can be selected via the digital inputs of the frequency inverter or Bus IO In Bits using Function 0 = "Position Array". With SK 540E and above, as many as 4 x 63 = 252 positions can be selected via the dependency of parameter P613 on the parameter sets. The position numbers result from the binary value. A position setpoint value (P613) can be parameterised for each position number. The position setpoint value can either be entered via a control panel (Control Technology Unit or Parameter Technology Unit) or with a PC by means of the "NORD CON" parameterisation software (read out and adopt current position), or via "Teach-in" by travelling to the positions. With the setting "62" "Sync for Position Array Pointer" for the digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits it is possible to control the start of travel to the setpoint position. If one of the inputs or bus IO In bits is parameterised to "62" "Sync for Position Array Pointer", by means of further digital inputs or Bus I/O In Bits, the position or the position array can be preselected as binary code. The position value is adopted as the setpoint position as soon as the input "Sync for Position Array Pointer" is set to "1".

3 Description of function

If the absolute setpoint position is specified via Bus IO In Bits, the position number results from bits 0…5 of the serial interface. For this, a bus setpoint value (P546, P547 and P548 "Function Bus - Setpoints") must be set in the setting "Bus IO In Bits 0...7" and the functions assigned to the corresponding bits under P480 "Function Bus I/O In Bits". For further details of the possible functionality settings, please refer to the relevant parameter description in Section 4 Parameter settings.

3.3.2 Position increment array– relative setpoint position via digital inputs or BUS I/O In Bits The position setpoint value "Position Increment Array" is especially advisable for endless axes. For this, the function 1 = "Position Increment Array" must be parameterised in parameter P610 "Setpoint Mode". Up to 6 digital inputs or Bus IO Bits can each be assigned an input signal for one of the 6 position increment array elements (P613 [-01]…[-06]). With SK 540E and above, as many as 4 x 6 = 24 positions can be selected via the dependency of parameter P613 on the parameter sets. If the input signal changes from "0" to "1" the value of the element is added to the setpoint position. The values can be positive or negative, so that a return to the starting position is also possible. The addition is carried out on each positive signal flank, regardless of whether or not the inverter is enabled. A multiple of the parameterised increment can be specified with several consecutive pulses to the allocated input. The pulse width and the width of the pauses between pulses must be at least 10 ms. If the relative setpoint position is specified via Bus IO Bits, bits 0...5 of the serial interface are each assigned to the position increment array. For this, a bus setpoint value (P546, P547 and P548 "Function Bus - Setpoints") must be set in the setting "Bus IO In Bits 0...7" and the functions assigned to the corresponding bits under P480 "Function Bus I/O In Bits". For further details of the possible functionality settings, please refer to the relevant parameter description in Section 4 Parameter settings.

3.3.3 Bus setpoints The transfer of the setpoint can be carried out via various field bus systems. The position can be specified in terms of rotations or increments. A rotation of the motor then corresponds to a resolution of 1/1000 rotation or 32768 increments. The source of the bus setpoint must be selected in parameter P510 "Setpoint Source" in the menu group "Additional Functions". The position setpoints to be transferred via the bus must be set in parameters P546 – P548 "Function Bus Setpoints". The High and Low words should be used in order to utilise the entire positioning range. With this, a 32 bit position setpoint can be specified via a control unit. Example: One motor rotation (See value P602) = 1.000 revolutions = Bus setpoint 1000 dec. For details of the bus setpoints, please refer to the relevant BUS operating instructions.

3.3.3.1

Bus - Specification of absolute setpoint via field bus

If the "Bus" setting (3) is parameterised in parameter P610 "Setpoint Mode", the absolute position setpoint specification is exclusively made via a field bus system. The setting of the field bus system is parameterised in parameter P509 "Interface". For the "Bus" setting, the functions of the digital inputs and the Bus IO In Bits for the specification of the position from parameter P631 "Position" / position array element are not enabled.

3.3.3.2

Bus increments – specification of relative setpoint via field bus

If the "Bus Increment" setting (4) is parameterised in parameter P610 "Setpoint Mode", the relative position setpoint specification is made via a field bus system. The setting of the field bus system is parameterised in parameter P509 "Interface". BU 0510 GB-3911

3.4 Teach-In function via digital inputs or Bus I/O In Bits As an alternative to the direct input, the parameterisation of the absolute setpoint position (position array) can also be carried out via the function "Teach-In". Two inputs are required for "Teach-In" via digital inputs or Bus IO In Bits. One input, or one of the parameters P420 – P425, 470 or 480 must be parameterised to function (24) "Teach-In" and a further input must be parameterised to function (25) "Quit Teach-In". "Teach-In" is started with the "1" signal to the relevant input and remains enabled until the signal is cancelled again. On a change from 0 to 1 of the signal "Quit Teach-In", the current position setpoint is saved in parameter P613 "Position". The position number or the position array element or the position increment array element is specified via the position specification (bit 0 to 5 position (increment) array) of the digital inputs or Bus IO In Bits in parameter P420 – P425, 470 or 480 with one of the functions (55 to 60) "Bit 0-5 for Position (Increment) Array". If no input is accessed (corresponds to position 0) the position number is generated via an internal counter. The counter is increased after the adoption of each position. At the start of the "Teach-In" with specified position 0 the counter is at 1. On adoption of the value with "Quit Teach-In" the counter is increased. As soon as a position is addressed via the digital inputs, the counter is set to this position. As long as the "Teach-In" is enabled, the frequency inverter can be controlled with enable signals and frequency setpoints (identical to parameter P600 "Position Control" = "Off"). The function "Teach-In" can also be implemented via a serial interface or the Bus IO In Bits. For this, one of the bus setpoint values (P546, P547 and P548 "Function Bus - Setpoints") must be set to "Bus IO In Bits 0...7" and the functions assigned to the corresponding bits under P480 "Function Bus I/O In Bits". For further details of the possible functionality settings, please refer to the relevant parameter description in Section 4 Parameter settings.

3.5 Conversion ratio of the setpoint and actual values (P607 and P608) The position values are based on the number of rotations of the motor. If a different reference value is required, with the aid of parameter P607 [-03] the "Speed Ratio" and P608 [-03] the "Reduction Ratio" can be converted into a different unit. No values after the decimal point can be entered in the parameters "Speed Ratio" and "Reduction Ratio". In order to achieve greater precision, the two values should each be multiplied by the same factor, which should be as large as possible. The product must not exceed the value 6500, i.e. the factor must not be too large. Example: Lifting gear Unit in [cm] Gear unit: i = 26.3 Drum diameter: d = 50.5 cm Multiplier: 100 selected

The required unit can be selected in parameter P640 "Unit Pos. Value". Accordingly, in this example, parameter P640 must be parameterised to the function 4 = cm.

3.6 Position control functions (P600) Four different positioning variants are possible. Linear ramp with maximum frequency (setting (1)) The acceleration is linear. The speed of constant travel is always carried out with the "Maximum Frequency" set under parameter P105. Linear ramp with setpoint frequency (setting (2)) The acceleration is linear. The speed of constant travel is specified via the setpoint frequency. This can be changed via the analog input or via a bus setpoint value. S ramp with maximum frequency (setting (3)) The speed of constant travel is always carried out with the "Maximum Frequency" set under parameter P105. However, in positioning operation the frequency ramps can be operated as S ramps. Compared with conventional linear frequency increases (or decreases), according to the start-up time (or braking time) a gentle rounding (without jerking) is performed to change from a static state to acceleration or braking. Also, when the final speed is attained, the acceleration or deceleration is slowly reduced. The S ramp always corresponds to a rounding of 100% and only applies, when positioning is also being performed. The effective ramp time is doubled by S ramping. The S ramp function is disabled during a reference point run. S ramp with setpoint frequency (setting (4)) The speed of constant travel is specified via the setpoint frequency. However, in positioning operation the frequency ramps are operated as S ramps. For further details, please refer to the previous paragraph. The setpoint frequency can be changed via the analog input or via a bus setpoint value. The S ramp function is disabled during a reference point run.

NOTE The parameter P106 "Ramp Smoothing" must still be set to "0" for positioning. If the enabling is removed or a reference point run is carried out, the rounding is not effective.

POSICON position control for NORD frequency inverters, SK 530E and above

3.7 Position control The position control functions as a P- feedback loop. The setpoint position and the actual position are continuously compared with each other. The setpoint frequency is formed by the multiplication of this difference with the parameter P611 "Position Control P". This value is then limited to the "Maximum Frequency" parameterised in parameter P105.

A path distance is calculated from the "Braking Time" parameterised in parameter P103 and the current speed. Without taking the distance calculation into account by means of the braking time, the speed would normally be reduced too late. Exceptions to this are highly dynamic applications with extremely short braking and starting times and applications in which only very small path increments are specified. As a further parameter, a starting point for slow travel can be set in parameter P612 "Size of Target Window". Within the target window the setpoint frequency is limited to the frequency set in parameter P104 "Minimum Frequency". This frequency can not fall below 2 Hz. For applications with greatly fluctuating loads and without speed regulation, a creep path can be parameterised by means of this parameter. The parameter P612 "Size of Target Window" does not have an effect on the relay/output message "Position Reached".

3.8 Output messages 3.8.1 Relays (P434, 441) and digital outputs (P450, P455) The frequency inverter has two relays and at least two digital outputs, for which of each a function can be parameterised. The possible messages for the positioning function, which are alsoavailable when the positioning function is disabled(P600 = "Off"), are summarised in Table . Message function (setting)

Description

Reference (20)

The digital output indicates that there is a valid reference point. The relay or output indicates that there is a valid reference point. The relay or output is switched off if a reference point run is started. The relay or output switches on as soon as the reference point has been found. The status after switching on the inverter supply voltage depends on the setting in P604 "Encoder Type". With the setting for absolute encoders (1, 5, 6-15) and for incremental encoders with position memory (3 and 5) the relay or output is switched on after the inverter is switched on. With other settings it is switched off.

Position reached (21)

With this function the inverter reports that the setpoint position has been reached. The relay or output switches on if the difference between the setpoint and the actual position is smaller than the value set in parameter P625 "Output Hysteresis" and the current frequency is lower than the frequency parameterised in parameter P104 "Minimum Frequency" + 2Hz. For synchronous operation the frequency parameterised in (P104) does not apply. In this case the frequency setpoint is the condition.

Comparative position (22)

The relay or output switches on if the actual position is greater than or equal to parameter P626 "Comparative Position Output". The relay or output switches off again if the actual position is smaller than the "Comparative Position Output" - "Output Hysteresis". The sign of the value is taken into account. [Relay or output switches on if pist ≥ pvergl and switches off if pist < pvergl – physt]

Comparative position value (23)

The function "Comparative Position Value" corresponds to the function "Comparative Position" with the difference that the position is processed as an absolute value (without sign). The relay or output is switched on if the actual position exceeds the value parameterised in P626 "Comparative Position Output" or undershoots the same negative value. [Relay or output switches on if |pist ≥ |pvergl and switches off if pist| < |pvergl| – physt]

Position array value (24)

The relay or output always switches on if a position parameterised in parameter P613 "Position" is reached or passed over. This function is also available if the position setpoint mode in parameter P610 "Setpoint Mode" is not set to "Position Array" i.e. the function is available for all functions which can be set.

Comparative position reached (25)

Comparative position reached The relay or output switches on if the difference between the actual position and the value parameterised in P626 "Comparative Position Output" is less than the value set in parameter P625 "Output Hysteresis". [Relay/output switches on if |(pvergl - pist)| < physt]

Comparative position value reached (26)

Comparative position value reached. The relay or output switches on if the difference between the actual position value and the value parameterised in P626 "Comparative Position Output" is less than the value set in parameter P625 "Output Hysteresis". [Relay/output switches on if |(|pvergl| - |pist|)| < physt]

3.8.2 Output messages via BUS I/O Out Bits (P481) All relay/output messages can also be read out via the serial interface by means of the Bus I/O Out Bits. For this, one of the actual bus values (P543, P544 and P545) "Function Bus - Actual Value") must be parameterised to the setting "Bus Out Bits 0...7" and the functions assigned to the corresponding bits under P481 "Function Bus I/O In Bits".

If no thermistor is present the two terminals TF- and TF+ must be bridged. Parameterisation of this input does not have any effect. 5

Digital input 7 (DIN7) can also be used as digital output 3 (DOUT3 / Binary output 5). It is recommended that either an input function (P420 [-07] or an output function (P434 [-05]) is parameterised. However, if and input function and an output function are parameterised, a High signal from the output function will result in the activation of the input function. This IO-exclusion is hence used as a kind of "flag". This also applies for digital input 8 (DIN8) and digital output 2 (DOUT2 / binary output 4). 6

The analog inputs 1 and 2 (AIN1 / 2) can also process digital functions. Care must be taken that either an analog function (P400 [-01]/[-02]) or a digital function (P420 [-08]/[-09]) is parameterised in order to prevent misinterpretation of the signals.

The standardisation assigned to output 1 by parameter P435 is deactivated with POSICONrelevant functions (20 - 26). The hysteresis assigned to output 1 by parameter P436 is deactivated with POSICON-relevant functions (20 - 26). Parameterisation of the hysteresis can be jointly parameterised with regard to POSICON-relevant functions for all outputs by means of parameter P625. This also applies accordingly for the other digital and relay outputs of the inverter.

Function of 2nd encoder (Function of 2nd encoder) The actual speed list value supplied to the FI by an HTL incremental encoder can be used for various functions in the FI. (The settings are identical to (P325)). The HTL encoder is connected via digital inputs 2 and 4. The parameters (P421) and (P423) must be set accordingly to functions 43 "Track A" and 44 "Track B". Due to the frequency limit (max. 10kHz) these only restricted encoder solutions (P462) are possible with these digital inputs. The mounting location (motor shaft or output side) of the encoders is taken into account by the parameterisation of an appropriate speed ratio (P463). 0 = Speed measurement Servo mode: The actual motor speed list value is used for the FI servo mode. In this function the ISD control cannot be disabled. Position control is also available as of software version 2.0. 1 = PID actual frequency value: The speed list value of a system is used for speed control. This function can also be used for controlling a motor with a linear characteristic curve. Here P413 and P414 determine the P and I component of the control. 2 = Frequency addition: The determined speed is added to the actual setpoint value. 3 = Frequency subtraction: The determined speed is subtracted from the actual setpoint. 4 = Maximum frequency: The maximum possible output frequency / speed is limited by the speed of the encoder. 5 = Actual position value: The HTL encoder is used for position control but not for speed control.

The voltage difference between tracks A and B can be measured with the aid of parameter P709 [-09] and [-10].

If the voltage only jumps between 0 and 0.8V the relevant rack is faulty. It may be possible to determine the position with the incremental encoder, but the interface is considerably more susceptible to faults. We recommend that the encoder is replaced!

POSICON position control for NORD frequency inverters, SK 530E and above

Commissioning When commissioning the POSICON applications, it is recommended that a specific sequence is adhered to. The individual steps are described in the following. Information concerning individual error symptoms can also be found in Section 7. 1. Step: commissioning the axis without control After the input of all parameters the axis should first be commissioned without control of the position or speed. For this the position control in the parameter group "Positioning" under parameter P600 "Position Control" and the Servo mode in the parameter group "Speed control" under parameter P300 "Servo Mode" are switched off.

CAUTION! Ensure that the Emergency Stop and safety circuits are functional!

NOTE The voltage difference between tracks A and B can be measured with the aid of parameter P709 [-09] and [-10]. If the incremental encoder is rotated, the value of both tracks must jump between -0.8V and 0.8V. If the voltage only jumps between 0 and 0.8V the relevant rack is faulty. The position can no longer be determined via the incremental encoder. We recommend that the encoder is replaced!

For lifting gear, prior to switching on for the first time measures must be taken to prevent the load from falling. For lifting gear applications, when lifting loads with speed control, the parameter P107 "Brake Application Time" and P114 "Brake Release Time" should be optimised after setting the speed control. 2. Step: Commissioning the speed control If no speed control is required or an incremental encoder is not available, this step can be skipped. Otherwise the Servo Mode is switched on. For operation in Servo Mode, the exact motor data (parameter P200 and following) and the correct encoder resolution / pulse number of the incremental encoder (parameter P301, "Incremental Encoder Pulse Number") must be parameterised. If the motor only runs at a slow speed with a high current consumption after the Servo Mode is switched on, there is usually an error in the wiring or the parameterisation of the incremental encoder connection. The most frequent cause is an incorrect assignment of the direction of rotation of the motor to the counting direction of the encoder. The optimisation of the speed control is optimised after commissioning of the position control, as the behaviour of the position control circuit can be influenced by changes to the speed control parameters. 3. Step: Commissioning the position control After setting parameter P604 "Encoder Type" and P605 "Absolute Encoder" it must be checked whether the actual position is correctly detected. The actual position is shown in parameter P601 "Actual Position". The value must be stable and become larger if the motor is switched on with rotation to the right enabled. If the value does not change when the axis is moved, the parameterisation and the encoder connection must be checked. The same applies if the displayed value for the actual position jumps although the axis has not moved.

BU 0510 GB-3911

5 Commissioning

After this a setpoint position in the vicinity of the actual position should be parameterised. If after being enabled, the axis moves away form the position instead of towards it, the assignment between the direction of rotation of the motor and the direction of rotation os the encoder is incorrect. The sign for the speed ratio should then be changed. If the detection of the actual position operates correctly, the position control can be optimised. In principle, with an increase of the P amplification the axis becomes "harder", i.e. the deviation from the setpoint position becomes smaller than with smaller amplifications. The size of the P amplification which is set in P310 of the position control depends on the dynamic characteristics of the system as a whole. In principle: the greater the masses and the smaller the friction if the system, the greater is the tendency of the system to oscillate and the smaller is the maximum possible P amplification. To determine the critical value, the amplification is increased until the drive unit oscillates about the position (leaves the position and then approaches it again). The amplification should then be set to 0.5x to 0.7x this value. For positioning applications with a subordinate speed control (P300 "Servo Mode"), for applications involving large masses a setting which deviates from the standard setting of the speed control is usually to be recommended. To parameterise the speed control - I - amplification in parameter P311, a value between 3% and 5% has proved effective. In parameter P310 a speed control P amplification value of between 100% and 150% can be selected.

POSICON position control for NORD frequency inverters, SK 530E and above

Synchronous control

6.1 General information The implementation of synchronous positioning with the SK 530E is possible by coupling the devices via the CAN Bus. The master device transmits its "Actual Position" and its "Actual Setpoint Speed After the Frequency Ramp" to the slave device(s). The slave devices use the speed as specified and compensate the remainder via the position control. The transmission time for the actual speed and position from the master to the slave devices generates an angular or positional deviation which is proportional to the speed of travel. ΔP = n[rpm] / 60 * Tzyklus[ms] / 1000 With 1500 rpm and a transmission time of approx. 5ms, a deviation of 0.125 rotations or 45° results. This deviation is to some extent adjusted for by an appropriate compensation by the slave. However, there is still a jitter of approx. 1ms in the cycle time, which cannot be compensated for. In the case selected, there remains an angular error of approx 9°. This only applies if a CAN connection with a baud rate of at least 100kBaud is used to couple the two drive units. For couplings via RS485 or lower CAN baud rates, the deviation can be considerably greater. NOTE:

A coupling with lower baud rates or USS is therefore not advisable.

Implementation of synchronisation is also possible with a CANopen coupling. This also enables operation with CANopen absolute encoders and the simultaneous coupling of several drive units. For large numbers or slave inverters, it should be noted that the maximum number of inverters should not exceed 5, in order that the bus load remains below 50% and therefore a deterministic behaviour is ensured.

6.2 Communication settings In order to set up communication between the master and the slave via the CAN bus the following settings are necessary. Master device settings: P502[-01] = P502[-02] = P502[-03] = P503 = P505 = P514 = P515[-01] =

If the enable signal is not also transferred from the master to the slave device, i.e. the slave is only enabled in one direction but the master rotates in both directions, the function "Actual frequency without slip master value"“ „21“ must be used instead of "Setpoint frequency after frequency ramp" "20". 11 Both variants are possible, as with synchronous operation the maximum positioning speed is always Fmax. 62

NOTE The actual position of the master must always be transmitted to the slave in the setting "In Increments" and be evaluated by the slave, as otherwise an additional transmission time error would be created.

6.3 Settings for slave ramp time and maximum frequency In order for the slave to be able to perform the control, the ramp times should be selected somewhat smaller than for the master and the maximum frequency should be selected somewhat higher. Slave device settings: P102Slave = 0,5 ... 0,95 * P102Master P103Slave = 0,5 ... 0,95 * P103Master P105Slave = 1,05 ... 1.5 * P102Master P410Slave = 0 P411Slave = P105Master For the slave, frequency addition (instead of setpoint frequency) is set in parameter P546 "Function Bus Setpoint Value 1". Otherwise the problem would occur that the for the slave the maximum frequency could only be set slightly higher than for the master in order prevent the specification from being falsified too much. However, this removes the possibility for the slave drive to "catch up" at speeds close to the maximum frequency.

Both variants are possible, as with synchronous operation the maximum positioning speed is always F max.

POSICON position control for NORD frequency inverters, SK 530E and above

6.4 Setting the speed and position controls The speed and position controls are set as would be the case if there was no synchronous operation. Therefore, if possible, the speed control should first be set in parameter P300 "Servo Mode", then the position control in parameter P600 "Position Control" and then the synchronisation control should be commissioned. The dynamic results are improved, the more sharply the controls can be set. From experience however, the position control functions better if the I component in the speed control is not too large. The speed control should therefore be set for a slight overshoot. This results in a P component which is as high as possible (until noises occur at low speeds), and a rather moderate I component. The setting of the torque limits and the selected ramps must be made so that the drive can always follow the ramp.

6.5 Taking a speed ratio between master and slave into account A speed ratio between the master and the slave can be taken into account via the parameters P607 "Speed Ratio" and P608 "Reduction Ratio". For SK 53xE devices the entries are made in the arrays of the encoder type which is not used. For SK 54xE devices an appropriate Array [-05] is available for the entries. NSlave P105Slave P410Slave P411Slave

= P607 [-xx] / P608 [-xx] * NMaster = P607 [-xx] / P608 [-xx] * P105Master* 1,05 ... 1,5 =0 = P105Master

There is also the possibility of changing the speed ratio between the master and the slave via an analog input. The ratio can be continuously varied between -200% and a maximum of 200% of the master speed. The analog input can be scaled via the parameters P402/P404 and P403/P408 (see Manual BU 0500) according to requirements. For negative values there is a change of direction of rotation. The function of the analog inputs (P400, P405) should be set to Function 47 = Speed ratio factor. It is possible to adjust the speed ratio "online", however, it should be noted that the "Position slip error" in parameter P630 "Position Slip Error" can take on considerably larger values than for normal synchronous operation during the adjustment, as acceleration or braking to the new speed must be performed.

6.6 Monitoring functions 6.6.1 Achievable precision / Position monitoring The achievable precision, i.e. the deviation of the master and slave drives depends on several factors. Here, in addition to the settings of the speed control and the position control, the path, i.e. the drive or the mechanics of the system, play a decisive role. The minimum value of the achievable precision is however determined by the type of transmission. A deviation of at least 0.1 rotations should be expected. In practice, a value of more than 0.25 motor rotations should be planned for. The deviation between the master and the slave can be monitored by the relay function "Position Reached" with the slave. The relay switches off if the set value in P625 "Output Hysteresis" is exceeded or the difference between the specified and the actual speed 2Hz + the set value in P104 "Minimum Frequency" is exceeded. The minimum frequency for the slave can be calculated with the following formula: P104 = 0.25 ... 1,0 * (P625 [Rotation] * 4,0Hz * P611 [%]) – 2Hz

For a permissible deviation of one rotation and a position control P of 5% this results in a speed component for the position control of 20Hz. If P104 "Minimum Frequency" is set to a considerably lower value, the relay message is determined by the exceeding of the speed by the slave and not by the maximum deviation in position. This especially applies, the shorter the ramp times are set for the slave.

6 Synchronous control

6.6.2 Master switch-off on slave error or position slip error With a master – slave coupling errors in the master are automatically dealt with by communication of the position to the slave. Therefore, if the master stops in case of a fault or cannot follow its ramp, the slave also moves to this position. However, if the slave cannot follow the specified position, or the slave has a fault, a reaction by the master is necessary. This can be either via a higher level control unit or by implementing a second communication channel between the slave and the master. For this, the slave inverter sends a "Position reached" bit and/or "Error" as BUS IO Bit to the master, which perceives these as an emergency stop or customer error. According to the programming, the master either stops (emergency stop) or changes to "Error" status and switches off. Example: 

If the slave device changes to the operating status "Error" the master also immediately changes to the operating status "Error".



The master device stops if the slip error limit is exceeded. The master can only be re-enabled if the slave device is within the specified tolerance.

The following setting are required in order to set up the second communication channel: Master device settings: P426 = P103 Master P460 = 0 P480[-01] = 18 P480[-02] = 11 P510[-02] = 09 10 P546 = 17

braking time on slave error Watchdog time = 0 => "Customer error" Watchdog Emergency stop CAN broadcast or CANopen broadcast Bus - IO In Bits 0-7

Slave device settings: P481[-01] = 7 P481[-02] = 21 P502[-01] = 12 P502[-02] = 15 P502[-03] = 10

Fault Position reached BusIO Out Bits 0-7 Actual position, increment High word 13 Actual position, increment Low word

In order for a second communication channel to be set up between the master and the slave, the CAN addresses of the devices must be selected so that transmission is not on the same identifier. The identifier on which the CAN master function is transmitted depends on the CAN addresses which are set (P515[-01]). P515 [-01] CAN address

6.6.3 Slip error monitoring on the slave Alternatively, the slip error monitoring P630 "Slip Error Pos" can also be enabled for the slave device. If the synchronous control is enabled, the error between the position estimated from the speed and the actual position will not be compared, but rather the difference between the setpoint position and the actual position as long as synchronous operation is enabled. The monitoring is only valid if the device is enabled and the position control is activated. If the slave is not enabled, the position of the master may deviate from the position of the slave.

6.7 Notes on reference point runs with synchronous operation If the slave axis is to be referenced independently from the master axis, the following must be noted: In synchronised mode, the slave receives its setpoint speed as a specification from the master. If the master is not running, the slave does not have a setpoint value for the reference point run. Therefor the slave must use its own parameter set for the reference point run, in which the speed during the reference point run is specified by Fmin (P104) and Fmax (P105) [Fmin = Fmax = Fref]. The frequency addition in P546 "Function Bus Setpoint" should be switched off. The slave must always be referenced after the master. For synchronous systems, where the master and the slave cannot be operated separately, a different strategy must be developed in case of deviation. With incremental position detection the actual position cannot be used in order to detect a deviation. If there is no deviation, the entire system is referenced, i.e. the slave in synchronous operation. The reference point run should therefor be performed via the external control unit according to the following sequence (all steps with a minimum time difference of 20ms): 1. Move entire system to reference point 2. Remove enablement for the master 3. Remove enablement for the slave 4. Perform "Reset Position" for the master (P601Master = 0, P602Slave jumps by P601old-P601new) 5. Perform "Reset Position" for the slave (P602Slave = 0, P601Slave = 0) For position detection with an absolute measuring system a reference point run is not necessary. Absolute position detection should be always given preference for systems, e.g. portal lifting gear, in which no deviation may occur.

6.8 Offset switching in synchronous operation In addition to the position setpoint, which can be transmitted from the master to the slave device via the CAN bus, a relative position offset can be applied to the slave device via the "increment array". With each 0  1 flank at the relevant input, the position setpoint value can be offset by the value set in parameter P613 "Position" [-01]...[-06]. The offset cannot be transmitted via a field bus using a "Process Data Word". Control can only be performed via one of the digital inputs or the Bus IO In Bits.

6 Synchronous control

6.9 Flying Saw (extended synchronous operation function) A special case of synchronous control is the "Flying Saw" mode (P610 = 4) which is available from software version 2.0 upwards (see (P707). In addition to the actual synchronous control, the ("slave") drive must be capable of synchronising itself to an axis which is already running. The belt drive (Master) must also be driven by an inverter, as CAN is used for coupling, as in the case of synchronous operation. NOTE Use of an encoder as the master encoder is not possible! A suitable frequency inverter must always be used as the master.

The technology function "Flying Saw" is controlled at the slave by means of 3 digital functions (P420 ( … P425, P470 or. P480)). The drive unit must be enabled for this. Digital In function "64" "Start Flying Saw" If the drive unit is in the standby position, the "Saw process" is started with a 01 flank at the "Start flying saw" input. The input "Disable synchronous operation" must not be set. An "Enable" must be present. The drive unit now accelerates to the position set in parameter P613[-63]. The acceleration time is calculated so that the reference speed of the master drive (belt drive) is attained when the target position is reached. The acceleration path remains constant regardless of the speed of the master, so that the point at which synchronous movement begins is always at the same position. This is where synchronous operation starts. Synchronous operation is signaled by the message "Drive synchronised" (P434, (P441, P450, P455) or P481 = "27"). This signal can be used directly, for example to lower the saw or to start the sawing process. Digital In function "63" "Disable synchronous operation" Synchronous operation is maintained until a 01 flank is detected at the "Disable synchronous operation" input. The sawing process is complete and the saw drive returns to position "0". The reference point can be specified at will by means on an offset (P609). The next process can only be started when the "zero position" has been reached. The position setpoint (P602) from the master drive is reset with the 01 flank of "Disable synchronous operation". Digital In function "77" "Stop Flying Saw" Synchronous operation is maintained until a 01 flank is detected at the "Stop flying saw" input. The sawing process is complete however, the saw drive does not return to position "0" but rather stops. After a new flank at input "64" "Start flying saw" the slave drive once again starts to synchronise to the master.

6.9.1 Determination of acceleration path and initiator position The distance of the initiator from the point at which the sawing process is to begin corresponds to double the value of the acceleration path for the saw drive. During the acceleration process the belt drive travels back for double the distance of the saw drive. For the calculation of the initiator position the corresponding speed ratios between the drive units and gearing factors must be taken into account. The minimum acceleration path which is entered in (P613[-63] is calculated as follows: P613[-63] TAcceleration[s] nSlave_max P608[-xx]/P607[-xx] ∆PINI

A check is also made as to whether the sign of the acceleration path matches the sign of the master speed. If this is not the case, the error message E13.6 "Flying saw value false" is triggered after the start command is activated.

6 Synchronous control

6.9.2 Diagonal saw The diagonal saw is a special case of the "flying saw". Here, no differentiation is made between the slave and the processing axis. The axis to be synchronised moves at a defined angle (e.g. 20° or 30°) transversely to the direction of the material. The movement therefore comprises the vectors of a longitudinal and a transverse direction. Because of this, the angle must also be taken into account for the speed ratio between the master and the slave.

Master drive

V Vy = Vslave * sin(30°)

s l

e.g. 30° a v e

Vx = Vslave * cos(30°)

Slave drive

Fig. 10: Flying saw - Diagonal saw

The speed ratio for the diagonal saw is therefore calculated as: P608[-xx] / P607[-xx]

= (ÜGear Slave * DMaster) / (ÜGear Master * DSlave) * cos(x°)

For the diagonal saw, the advance movement of the saw is therefore proportional to the belt speed. Therefore, the advance movement of the saw and the belt speed cannot selected independently (as long as the angle is kept constant). For the "normal" flying saw, the advance movement of the saw is controlled via a separate axis, independently from the speed of the belt or travel. Regardless of the setting in parameter P600, the technology function "flying saw" is always executed with linear ramps and a speed of movement with maximum frequency. Therefore: the return movement of the saw is always performed with the set maximum frequency, which in general also corresponds to the maximum speed during synchronous movement.

6.9.3 Offset switching in synchronous operation In addition to the position setpoint, which can be transmitted from the master to the slave device via the CAN bus, a relative position offset can be applied to the slave device via the "Increment array". With each 0  1 flank at the relevant input, the position setpoint value can be offset by the value set in the setpoint array P613[-01]...[-06]. The "Offset" cannot be transmitted directly via a field bus using a "Process Data Word". Control can be via a digital input or Bus IO.

Additional test

Possible cause

Position drifts away



Interference pulse in the encoder cable

No reproducible precision when even at low speeds approaching the position, (n < 1000 1/min))



Interference pulse in the encoder cable



Pulse number in combination with the encoder cable length / Cable type too large (Pulse frequency too large)



Loose encoder / Installation fault

only at high speed (n > 1000 1/min)

7.2.4 Sources of faults for position detection with absolute encoders Symptom

Additional test

Possible cause

Actual position value always runs to the same value and then no longer changes



Encoder connection faulty

Position not always found at the Mechanical unevenness? same place, axis sometimes jumps backwards and forwards.



Axis stiff, axis jams etc.



Loose encoder / Installation fault

 if the position value does not match Check absolute encoder the encoder rotation or jumps (remove, set parameter speed and reduction ratio to 1, rotate encoder manually: the displayed position must match the rotations of the encoder)

7.2.5 Miscellaneous encoder faults (universal encoder interface) Symptom

Additional test

Possible cause 

The Sin/Cos signals are not connected correctly. The voltage signal can be checked with P709.

Multiply Transmit (OFF), PBF (OFF). coding is in binary.



The resolution is set too low.

Multiply Transmit (OFF), PBF (OFF).



The position coding (Gray, binary) is not set correctly.



The resolution is not set correctly, especially with Gray coding.



The resolution is set too high.



Encoder does not support Multiply Transmit



Resolution set incorrectly



Resolution set incorrectly



Resolution set incorrectly



If the encoder reports an internal error the cause of the error must be determined from the reason entered in parameter P650[-01] on the basis of the documentation from the encoder manufacturer.



A BISS encoder only reports a 1 as the cause of the fault. This message means that a fault has occurred since the last initialisation. If the fault does not disappear of its own accord, the encoder voltage supply must be disconnected for 1 minute in order to reset the fault.



If the fault occurs after a long period of fault-free operation this indicates that the encoder will soon fail.



The encoder reports and internal error P650[-01] or an internal warning P650[-02]. However, the fault is not critical for positioning.



A BISS encoder only reports a 1 as the cause of the warning. This message means that a warning has occurred since the last initialisation. If the warning does not disappear of its own accord, the encoder voltage supply must be disconnected for 1 minute in order to reset the message.



If the warning occurs after a long period of faultfree operation this indicates that the encoder will soon fail.

Hiperface encoders: Motor has error E25.0 after starting SSI encoders: The position jumps back to 0 too early. SSI encoders: The position jumps instead of counting up or down evenly. SSI encoders: The position jumps with a power of 2. SSI encoders:

Multiply Transmit (OFF), PBF (OFF). coding is in binary.

Continuous Multiply Transmit error BISS encoder: Communication error although the encoder is connected. BISS encoder: Communication error after enabling BISS encoder: Ratio present, although none has been set. Encoder reports an internal error.

Lists / Index

9.1 Keyword Index Absolute (rotary) encoder, single-turn

Rotary encoder, which outputs coded information for each measurement step within a rotation. The data is retained even after a power failure. The data continues to be recorded even without power.

Absolute (rotary) encoder, multi-turn

Rotary encoder, as for absolute single-turn (rotary) encoder, however, the number of rotations are additionally recorded.

Resolution

For single-turn rotary encoders, the resolution indicates the number of measurement steps per rotation. For multi-turn rotary encoders the resolution indicates the number of measurement steps per rotation multiplied by the number of rotations.

Baud rate

The transmission rate for serial interfaces in bits per second

Binary code

The designation for a code in which messages are communicated by "0" and "1" signals.

Bit / Byte

A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of information in the binary system. A byte has 8 bits.

Broadcast

In a network, all slave participants are addressed simultaneously by the master.

CAN Bus

(Controller Area Network) designates a multi-master bus system with twin conductor wiring. Operation is orientated to events and messages. At present standardised CAN protocols are specified under CANopen.

CANopen

Designates a communications protocol based on CAN

Encoders

Electrical or opto-mechanical device for detecting rotary movements. A differentiation is made between absolute (rotary) encoders and incremental (rotary) encoders

Precision

Deviation between the actual and the measured position.

Total resolution

For single-turn rotary encoders, the resolution indicates the number of measurement steps per rotation. For multi-turn rotary encoders the resolution indicates the number of measurement steps per rotation multiplied by the number of rotations.

76

Incremental (rotary) encoder

Encoders which output an electrical pulse (High/Low) for each measurement step.

Jitter

Designates a slight fluctuation in precision in the transmission pulse, or the variation in the transmission time of data packages.

Multi-turn (rotary) encoder

See "Absolute (rotary) encoder, multi-turn"

Reset position

Function for setting a zero point (or offset) at any position of the resolution range of an encoder without mechanical adjustment.

Single-turn (rotary) encoder

See "Absolute (rotary) encoder, single-turn"

Pulse number

A number of light/dark segments are applied to a glass pulse disk. These segments are scanned by a light beam in the encoder and therefore determine the possible resolution of a rotary encoder.
