16.5.6 Modulation
Controller
The modulation controller, which is designed as an I regulator, automatically adapts
the output value of the frequency inverter to the machine behavior in the basic speed
area and in the field weakening area. If the modulation exceeds the figure set with pa-
rameter
Reference modulation
750
, the field-forming current component and thus the
flux in the machine are reduced.
In order to make the best possible use of the voltage available, the figure selected via
parameter
Operation mode

is put into proportion to the DC link voltage. That
means that with a high mains voltage there is also a high output voltage available, the
drive only reaches the field weakening area later and produces a higher torque.

The percentage setting of the
Reference modulation
750
is basically a function of the
leakage inductivity of the machine. The default value was selected such that in most
cases the remaining deviation of 5% is sufficient as a reserve range for the current
controller. For the optimization of the controller parameters, the drive is accelerated
with a flat ramp into the area of field weakening, so that the modulation controller
intervenes. The limit is set via parameter
Reference modulation
750
. Then, the control
loop can be excited with a unit step function by modifying the reference modulation
(change-over between 95% and 50%). By means of an oscillographed measurement
of the flux-forming current component on the analog output of the frequency inverter,
the controlling process of the modulation controller can be assessed. The course of
the signal of the flux-forming current I
sd
should reach the stationary value after over-
shooting without oscillation. An oscillating of the course of the current can be damped
by increasing the integral time. The parameter
