Multi Motor 2 Application


1.

INTRODUCTION

Select the Multi Motor 2 Application in menu M6 on page S6.2.


The Multi Motor 2 application is based on the multi-purpose application. This application is suitable
for different kinds of test benches and as a part of machines where two motors are not used at the
same time.
It is possible to change between two motor parameters. Change-over times between motors are
about 20ms. The change-over can be executed via digital input. The output signal can be activated
when the change-over is ready.
Multi Motor 2 application provides a wide range of parameters for controlling motors. It can be used
for various kinds of different processes, where wide flexibility of I/O signals is needed and PIDcontrol is not necessary (if you need PID-control functions, use PID-control Application or Pump and
Fan Control Application).
The frequency reference can be selected e.g. from the analogue inputs, joystick control, motor
potentiometer and from a mathematical function of the analogue inputs. There are parameters also
for Fieldbus communication. Multi-step speeds and jogging speed can also be selected if digital
inputs are programmed for these functions.

The digital inputs and all the outputs are freely programmable and the application
supports all I/O-boards

Additional functions comparing to Multi-Purpose Application:

Fast stall function (Application level current monitor)


Possibility by pass Run state parameter lock
Fast motor parameter change operation
I/O reference location can be selected freely by DI
DO for monitoring active motor and parameter set.
Under load warning is reset when drive goes to stop state

PROGRAMMING PRINCIPLE OF THE MULTI MOTOR 2 APPLICATION

The programming principle of the input and output signals in the Multipurpose Control Application
as well as in the Pump and Fan Control Application (and partly in the other applications) is
different compared to the conventional method used in other Vacon NX applications.
In the conventional programming method, Function to Terminal Programming Method (FTT), you
have a fixed input or output that you define a certain function for. The applications mentioned above,
however, use the Terminal to Function Programming method (TTF) in which the programming
process is carried out the other way round: Functions appear as parameters which the operator
defines a certain input/output for. See Warning on page 5.
2.1

Defining an input/output for a certain function on keypad

Connecting a certain input or output with a certain function (parameter) is done by giving the
parameter an appropriate value. The value is formed of the Board slot on the Vacon NX control
board (see Vacon NX User's Manual, Chapter 6.2) and the respective signal number, see below.
READY
I/O term

AI Ref Faul/Warn
DigOUT:B.1

Function name

Slot
Terminal type

Terminal number

Example: You want to connect the digital output function Reference fault/warning (parameter
2.3.3.7) to the digital output DO1 on the basic board NXOPTA1 (see Vacon NX User's Manual, Chapter
6.2).
First find the parameter 2.3.3.7 on the keypad. Press the Menu button right once to enter the edit
mode. On the value line, you will see the terminal type on the left (DigIN, DigOUT, An.IN, An.OUT)
and on the right, the present input/output the function is connected to (B.3, A.2 etc.), or if not
connected, a value (0.#).
When the value is blinking hold down the Browser button up or down to find the desired board slot
and signal number. The program will scroll the board slots starting from 0 and proceeding from A
to E and the numbers referring to the I/O selection from 1 to 10.
Once you have set the desired value, press the Enter button once to confirm the change.

Defining a terminal for a certain function with NCDrive programming tool

If you use the NCDrive Programming Tool for parametrizing you will have to establish the
connection between the function and input/output in the same way as with the control panel. Just
pick the address code from the drop-down menu in the Value column (see the Figure below).

Figure 6- 1. Screenshot of NCDrive programming tool; Entering the address code

!
WARNING

Be ABSOLUTELY sure not to connect two functions to one and same


output in order to avoid function overruns and to ensure flawless
operation.

Note: The inputs, unlike the outputs, cannot be changed in RUN state.

2.3

multi motor 2 application

Defining unused inputs/outputs

All unused inputs and outputs must be given the board slot value 0 and the value 1 also for the
terminal number. The value 0.0 is also the default value for most of the functions. However, if you
want to use the values of a digital input signal for e.g. testing purposes only, you can set the board
slot value to 0 and the terminal number to any number between 210 to place the input to a TRUE
state. In other words, the value 1 corresponds to 'open contact' and values 2 to 10 to closed contact.
In case of analogue inputs, giving the value 1 for the terminal number corresponds to 0%, value 2
corresponds to 20% and any value between 3 and 10 corresponds to 100%.

Input signals

The Input Signal parameter group consists of seven subgroups:

Basic Settings
Analogue Input 1 Signals
Analogue Input 2 Signals
Analogue Input 3 Signals
Analogue Input 4 Signals
Free analogue input, signal selection
Digital Input Signals

All parameters in group Digital Input Signals and one parameter in the Analogue Input Signal
groups each (P2.2.2.1, P2.2.3.1, P2.2.4.1 and P2.2.5.1) are programmable according to the Terminal
to Function Programming method (TTF) explained in more detail in Chapter 2.
All other parameters are programmed in the conventional (FTT) manner.
Note! When changing the function of an input, it is advisable to remove the previous selections of
that input. It is however possible to connect several functions to one and same input, if necessary.

AI1 joystick hysteresis


AI2 joystick hysteresis
This parameter defines the joystick hysteresis between 0 and 20 %.
When the joystick or potentiometer control is turned from reverse to forward, the output
frequency falls linearly to the selected minimum frequency (joystick/potentiometer in
middle position) and stays there until the joystick/potentiometer is turned towards the
forward command. It depends on the amount of joystick hysteresis defined with this
parameter, how much the joystick/potentiometer must be turned to start the increase of
the frequency towards the selected maximum frequency.
If the value of this parameter is 0, the frequency starts to increase linearly immediately
when the joystick/potentiometer is turned towards the forward command from the
middle position. When the control is changed from forward to reverse, the frequency
follows the same pattern the other way round. See Figure 6- 8.

Limit settings

The Limit Settings parameter group consists of parameters used to set limits for digital output
signals in group G2.3.3.
Parameters 2.3.4.1 to 2.3.4.6 and 2.3.4.9/2.3.4.10:
External brake control with additional limits
The external brake used for additional braking can be controlled through parameters 2.3.4.1 to
2.3.4.6 and 2.3.4.9/2.3.4.10. Selecting On/Off Control for the brake, defining the frequency or torque
limit(s) the brake should react to and defining the Brake-On/-Off delays will allow an effective brake
control. See Figure 6- 15.

Figure 6- 15. Brake control with additional limits

In Figure 6- 15 above, the brake control is set to react to both the torque supervision limit (par.
2.3.4.6) and frequency supervision limit (2.3.4.4). Additionally, the same frequency limit is used for
both brake-off and brake-on control by giving parameter 2.3.4.3 the value 4. Use of two different
frequency limits is also possible. Then parameters 2.3.4.1 and 2.3.4.3 must be given the value 3.
Brake-off: In order for the brake to release, three conditions must be fulfilled: 1) the drive must be
in Run state, 2) the torque must be over the set limit (if used) and 3) the output frequency must be
over the set limit (if used).
Brake-on: Stop command activates the brake delay count and the brake is closed when the output
frequency falls below the set limit (2.3.4.1 or 2.3.4.3). As a precaution, the brake closes when the
brake-on delay expires, at the latest.
Note: A fault or Stop state will close the brake immediately without a delay.

When the frequency converter is decelerating the motor, the inertia of the motor and the
load are fed into an external brake resistor. This enables the frequency converter to
decelerate the load with a torque equal to that of acceleration (provided that the correct
brake resistor has been selected). See separate Brake resistor installation manual.

Start function
Ramp:
0

The frequency converter starts from 0 Hz and accelerates to the set reference
frequency within the set acceleration time. (Load inertia or starting friction
may cause prolonged acceleration times).

Flying start:
1
The frequency converter is able to start into a running motor by applying a
small torque to motor and searching for the frequency corresponding to the
speed the motor is running at. The searching starts from the maximum
frequency towards the actual frequency until the correct value is detected.
Thereafter, the output frequency will be increased/decreased to the set
reference value according to the set acceleration/deceleration parameters.
Use this mode if the motor is coasting when the start command is given. With
the flying start, it is possible to ride through short mains voltage interruptions.

2.4.7

Stop function
Coasting:
0
The motor coasts to a halt without control from the frequency converter after

After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated according to

If the regenerated energy is high it may be necessary to use an external
braking resistor for faster deceleration.

Normal stop: Ramp + Run Enable stop: coasting

After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated according to

DC-brake is not used


DC-brake is in use and its function depends on the Stop function,
(param. 2.4.7). The DC-braking time is determined with this parameter

Par. 2.4.7 = 0 (Stop function = Coasting):


After the stop command, the motor coasts to a stop without control from the frequency
converter.
With the DC injection, the motor can be electrically stopped in the shortest possible
time, without using an optional external braking resistor.
The braking time is scaled by the frequency when the DC-braking starts. If the frequency
is greater than the nominal frequency of the motor, the set value of parameter 2.4.9
determines the braking time. When the frequency is 10% of the nominal, the braking
time is 10% of the set value of parameter 2.4.9.

The voltage to the motor changes automatically which makes the

power. Automatic torque boost can be used in applications where
starting torque due to starting friction is high, e.g. in conveyors.

o
Motor Control Mode = 0 (Frequency control) and 1 (Speed control)
Option 1: Activate the Automatic torque boost (par. 2.6.2).

Option 2: Programmable U/f curve


To get torque you need to set the zero point voltage and midpoint voltage/frequency (in
parameter group 2.6) so that the motor takes enough current at low frequencies.
First set par. 2.6.3 to Programmable U/F-curve (value 2). Increase zero point voltage
(P2.6.8) to get enough current at zero speed. Set then the midpoint voltage (P2.6.7) to
1.4142*P2.6.8 and midpoint frequency (P2.6.6) to value P2.6.7/100%*P2.1.7.

NOTE!

2.6.3

In high torque - low speed applications - it is likely that the motor


will overheat. If the motor has to run a prolonged time under these
conditions, special attention must be paid to cooling the motor. Use
external cooling for the motor if the temperature tends to rise too
high.

U/f ratio selection


Linear:
0

The voltage of the motor changes linearly with the frequency in the constant
flux area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where the nominal voltage is
supplied to the motor. Linear U/f ratio should be used in constant torque
applications. See Figure 6- 28.
This default setting should be used if there is no special need for another
setting.

Squared: The voltage of the motor changes following a squared curve form
1
with the frequency in the area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where
the nominal voltage is also supplied to the motor. The motor runs under
magnetised below the field weakening point and produces less torque and
electromechanical noise. Squared U/f ratio can be used in applications
where torque demand of the load is proportional to the square of the speed,
e.g. in centrifugal fans and pumps.

Identification
Identification Run is a part of tuning the motor and the drive specific parameters. It is a
tool for commissioning and service of the drive with the aim to find as good parameter
values as possible for most drives. The automatic motor identification calculates or
measures the motor parameters that are needed for optimum motor and speed control.
0 = No action
No identification requested.
1 = Identification without motor run
The drive is run without speed to identify the motor parameters. The motor is supplied
with current and voltage but with zero frequency.
2 = Identification with motor run
The drive is run with speed to identify the motor parameters.
Note: It is recommended to do this identification test with no load on the motor for best
results.
3 = Encoder ID run
The basic motor name plate data has to be set correctly before performing the identification run:

ID110
ID111
ID112
ID113
ID120

Nominal voltage of the motor (par. 2.1.6)


Nominal frequency of the motor (par. 2.1.7)
Nominal speed of the motor (par. 2.1.8)
Nominal current of the motor (par. 2.1.9)
Motor cos phi (par. 2.1.10)

When in closed loop and with an encoder installed, also the parameter for pulses /
revolutions (in Menu M7) has to be set.
The automatic identification is activated by setting this parameter to the appropriate
value followed by a start command in the requested direction. The start command to the
drive has to be given within 20 s. If no start command is given within 20 s the identification run is cancelled and the parameter will be reset to its default setting.
The identification run can be stopped any time with normal stop command and the parameter is reset to its default setting. In case identification run detects fault or other problems, the identification run is completed if possible. After the identification is finished,
the application checks the status of the identification and generates fault/ warning if any.
During Identification Run, the brake control is disabled (see chapter 4.5).

Closed loop parameter group P2.6.15


Select the Closed loop control mode by setting value 3 or 4 for parameter 2.6.1 (2.6.12).
Closed loop control mode (see page 63) is used when enhanced performance near zero speed and
better static speed accuracy with higher speeds are needed. Closed loop control mode is based on
"rotor flux oriented current vector control". With this controlling principle, the phase currents are
divided into a torque producing current portion and a magnetizing current portion. Thus, the squirrel
cage induction machine can be controlled in a fashion of a separately excited DC motor.
Note: These parameters can be used with Vacon NXP drive only.

EXAMPLE:
Motor Control Mode = 3 (Closed loop speed control)
This is the usual operation mode when fast response times, high accuracy or controlled
run at zero frequencies are needed. Encoder board should be connected to slot C of the
control unit. Set the encoder P/R-parameter (P7.3.1.1). Run in open loop and check the
encoder speed and direction (V7.3.2.2). Change the direction parameter (P7.3.1.2) or switch
the phases of motor cables if necessary. Do not run if encoder speed is wrong. Program
the no-load current to parameter P2.6.15.1 and set parameter P2.6.15.6 (Slip Adjust) to get
the voltage slightly above the linear U/f-curve with the motor frequency at about 66% of
the nominal motor frequency. The Motor Nominal Speed parameter (P2.1.8) is critical. The

Earth fault protection ensures that the sum of the motor phase currents is zero. The
over current protection is always working and protects the frequency converter from
earth faults with high currents.
Parameters 2.7.82.7.12, Motor thermal protection:
General
The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The Vacon drive is capable
of supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load requires this high current there is
a risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded. This is the case especially at low frequencies. At
low frequencies the cooling effect of the motor is reduced as well as its capacity. If the motor is
equipped with an external fan the load reduction at low speeds is small.
The motor thermal protection is based on a calculated model and it uses the output current of the
drive to determine the load on the motor.
The motor thermal protection can be adjusted with parameters. The thermal current IT specifies the
load current above which the motor is overloaded. This current limit is a function of the output
frequency.

CAUTION!

The calculated model does not protect the motor if the airflow to the
motor is reduced by blocked air intake grill.

the motor to 0%.

2.7.9

Motor thermal protection: Motor ambient temperature factor


When the motor ambient temperature must be taken into consideration, it is
recommended to set a value for this parameter. The value of the factor can be set
between 100.0% and 100.0% where 100.0% corresponds to 0C and 100.0% to the
maximum running temperature of the motor. Setting this parameter value to 0%
assumes that the ambient temperature is the same as the temperature of the heat sink
at power-on.

2.7.10

Motor thermal protection: Cooling factor at zero speed


The factor can be set between 0150.0% x cooling power at nominal frequency. See
Figure 6- 30.
The default value is set assuming that there is no external fan cooling the motor. If such
fan is used this parameter can be set to 90% or even higher.
Note: The value is set as a percentage of the motor name plate data, parameter 2.1.9
(Nominal current of motor), not the drive's nominal output current. The motor's nominal
current is the current that the motor can withstand in direct on-line use without being
overheated.
If you change the parameter
Nominal current of motor, this
parameter is automatically restored
to the default value.
Setting this parameter does not
affect the maximum output current
of the drive which is determined by
parameter 2.1.5 alone.

Motor thermal protection: Time constant


This time can be set between 1 and 200 minutes.
This is the thermal time constant of the motor. The bigger the motor is, the bigger the
time constant. The time constant is the time within which the calculated thermal stage
has reached 63% of its final value.
The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between different
motor manufacturers.
If the motor's t6time (t6 is the time in seconds the motor can safely operate at six times
the rated current) is known (given by the motor manufacturer) the time constant
parameter can be set basing on it. As a rule of thumb, the motor thermal time constant
in minutes equals to 2xt6. If the drive is in stop stage the time constant is internally
increased to three times the set parameter value. The cooling in the stop stage is based
on convection and the time constant is increased. See also Figure 6- 31.
Note: If the nominal speed (par. 2.1.8) or the nominal current (par. 2.1.9) of the motor
are changed this parameter is automatically set to the default value (45).

Parameters 2.7.132.7.16, Stall protection:


General
The motor stall protection protects the motor from short time overload situations such as one
caused by a stalled shaft. The reaction time of the stall protection can be set shorter than that of the
motor thermal protection. The stall state is defined with two parameters, 2.7.14 (Stall current) and
2.7.16 (Stall frequency). If the current is higher than the set limit and output frequency is lower than
the set limit, the stall state is true. There is actually no real indication of the shaft rotation. Stall
protection is a type of over current protection.

Parameters 2.7.172.7.20, Under load protection:


General
The purpose of the motor under load protection is to ensure that there is load on the motor when
the drive is running. If the motor loses its load there might be a problem in the process, e.g. a
broken belt or a dry pump.
Motor under load protection can be adjusted by setting the under load curve with parameters 2.7.18
(Field weakening area load) and 2.7.19 (Zero frequency load), see below. The under load curve is a
squared curve set between the zero frequency and the field weakening point. The protection is not
active below 5Hz (the under load time counter is stopped).
The torque values for setting the under load curve are set in percentage which refers to the nominal
torque of the motor. The motor's name plate data, the parameter Motor nominal current and the
drive's nominal current ICONT are used to find the scaling ratio for the internal torque value. If other
than nominal motor is used with the drive, the accuracy of the torque calculation decreases.

Fieldbus control

The Fieldbus control parameters are used when the frequency or the speed reference comes from
the fieldbus (Modbus, Profibus, DeviceNet etc.). With the Fieldbus Data Out Selection 18 you can
monitor values from the fieldbus.

2.9.1
2.9.2

Fieldbus reference minimum scaling


Fieldbus reference maximum scaling
Use these two parameters to scale the fieldbus reference signal.
Setting value limits: 0 par. 2.9.1 2.9.2 2.1.2. If par. 2.9.2 = 0 custom scaling is not
used and the minimum and maximum frequencies are used for scaling.
The scaling takes place as presented in Figure 6- 7.
Note: Using this custom scaling function also affects the scaling of the actual value.
