SLAT Max Speed/Torque
SLAT Max Speed/Torque is a special mode of operation primarily used in web
handling applications. The drive typically operates as a torque regulator,
provided that the TorqueTrim attribute is greater than the torque output due to
the velocity regulator's control effort. The drive can automatically enter
velocity regulation based on conditions within the velocity regulator and the
magnitude of the velocity regulator's output relative to the torque reference.
When used for SLAT control, an application dependent VelocityCommand
value is applied to the drive via an MAJ instruction (2198-
xxxx
-ERS3 drives,
firmware 7.001 or later) or MDS instruction (2198-
xxxx
-ERS4 drives,
firmware 9.001 or later). An application dependent TorqueTrim value is also
applied via cyclic write. Under normal operation, VelocityCommand is set to a
level that results in the velocity regulator's control effort becoming saturated
when the motor's speed is mechanically limited. The TorqueReference value
equals the TorqueTrim value, resulting in a positive VelocityError value.
Should the mechanical speed limitation be removed (example: web break), the
motor accelerates and VelocityError becomes negative. At this time, a forced
transition to velocity regulation occurs, and the motor's speed is regulated to
the VelocityCommand attribute.
The axis remains in velocity regulation until VelocityError is less than
SLATSetPoint for a time specified by SLATTimeDelay. At this point, the axis
returns to operating as a torque regulator.

(1) SLAT Disable, when viewed in version 28.00 (and earlier) of the Logix Designer application, reads Torque Only. This is expected to
change to SLAT Disable in a future version.
