Press
until the FOUT LED turns on. The display now shows the actual
drive output frequency in Hz.
Figure 8: Output Frequency
Pressing
again will show the motor output current in Amps.
NOTE: Refer to the technical manual on how to access other drive monitors.

Step 4
Selecting a Control Method and Motion
This step will explain how to configure the drive for a Hoist or Traverse
application. For hoisting applications, the G+ Mini should only be used to
control a hoist with a mechanical load brake.
Traverse:
Set parameter A01.03 = 0 (Traverse).
It is recommended that the Control Method is set to V/f (A01.02 = 0).
If Open Loop Vector is desired, set A01.02 = 2.
Hoist (with Mechanical Load Brake):
Set parameter A01.03 = 1 (Hoist).
It is recommended that the Control Method is set to V/f (A01.02 = 0).
If Open Loop Vector is desired, set A01.02 = 2.
NOTE: An Auto-tune is recommended when using the Open Loop Vector
Control method or Hoist motion.
Step 5
Selecting a Speed Reference
This step will list the speed reference settings that are selected with
parameter A04.01.
NOTE: Default speed settings will be automatically applied via X-Press
Programming. Reference the technical manual for more details and wiring
instructions.
Step 6
Auto-Tuning
In this step the G+ Mini is set up for use with the motor.
Make sure all protective covers have been re-attached and
then apply power to the G+ Mini. DO NOT RUN THE
MOTOR.
NOTE: Auto-Tuning will not function properly when a brake
is engaged. Ensure the motor shaft can freely rotate. Never
perform an Auto-Tune with motor connected to a load.
Press
three times until the Digital Operator shows the
Auto-Tuning menu (A. Tun) then press
.
Press
once until the Digital Operator shows
parameter T01.02 then press
.
For Europe: Enter Motor Power in kW
For USA: Enter Motor Power in HP
Press
to select the digit you would like to change and use the
and
to adjust the value, then press the
to save the value.
Press
to go to select the next parameter and follow the same procedure
described above to adjust its value.
After setting parameter T01.07 press
to select the Auto-Tuning command.
Next, press
on the Digital Operator. The G+ Mini will now start the Auto-
Tuning procedure.
The display will show
when the Auto-Tuning procedure has been
successfully completed. Please reference the G+ Mini technical manual or repeat
Auto-Tuning procedure again if the display shows an error message.
2-Speed Multi-Step:
A04.01 = 0
2-Step Infinitely Variable:
A04.01 = 3
3-Speed Multi-Step:
A04.01 = 1
3-Step Infinitely Variable:
A04.01 = 4
5-Speed Multi-Step:
A04.01 = 2
Uni-Polar Analog:
A04.01 = 5
Motor Rated Voltage (e.g. 230 V, 460 V)
Motor Rated Current (e.g. 11.0 A, 22.0 A)
Motor Base Frequency (e.g. 60.0 Hz)
Motor Poles (e.g. 4 Poles)
Motor Rated Speed (e.g. 1750 rpm)
WARNING! SUDDEN MOVEMENT HAZARD. The G+ Mini and
motor may start unexpectedly during Auto-Tuning.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. High voltage will be
supplied to the motor when Auto-Tuning is performed. Do not
touch the motor.

Quick Start Parameters
The following table lists the general purpose application parameters as well as
frequently asked questions.
This section may require you to change one or more G+ Mini parameters. Please
refer to Step 3 for a detailed explanation on how to change parameters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
How do I reset the drive back to factory default settings?
Answer:
Go to parameter A01.03 and enter 2220.
Question:
How do I adjust the time it takes the motion to speed up or slow down?
Answer:
Adjust the acceleration time parameter B01.01 and deceleration time
B01.02.
Question:
How do I prevent my drive from tripping on an OV fault (overvoltage)
while my motor is ramping down?
Answer:
Increase deceleration time parameter B05.02 and check braking resistor.
Question:
How do I prevent my drive from tripping on an OL1 fault (overload)
while my motor is ramping down?
Answer:
Verify motor rated current parameter E02.01 and motor overload
parameter settings L01.01 Motor overload selection, L01.02 Motor overload
protection time.
Question:
How can I run my motor above the nominal motor speed?
Answer:
Increase the value of parameter E01.04 Maximum Frequency.
Verify that the motor and system allow for this.
Question:
How can I change motor direction without changing the motor leads?
Answer:
Set parameter B03.04 to 1 (exchange phases).
