Step 4
Changing Parameters and Monitoring
This step shows how to access and modify a parameter as well as how to
monitor signals such as output frequency and motor current.
Make sure all protective covers have been re-attached and power is turned
on. DO NOT RUN THE MOTOR.
Access Parameter Menu and Change Parameters
Press
until the digital operator shows the parameter menu.
Monitor Motor Frequency and Motor Current
Output Frequency and Motor Current can be monitored simultaneously.
To monitor output frequency and motor current or other signals individually,
press
once,
then press
.
Next press
to select monitor.
Use
to select monitor signal.
NOTE: Refer to the technical manual on how to access other drive monitors.

Step 5
Select a Control Method
This step explains the available Control Method settings.
V/f:
Set parameter A01-02 = 0 (V/f).
This setting is only available for IMPULSE•G+ Series 4 drives and is
recommended for most Traverse and Mechanical Load Brake hoist applications.
Open Loop Vector:
Set parameter A01-02 = 1 (Open Loop Vector).
This setting is only available for IMPULSE•G+ Series 4 drives and is
recommended for Traverse and Mechanical Load Brake hoist applications that
require finer speed control or torque limiting.
Flux Vector:
Set parameter A01-02 = 3 (Flux Vector).
This setting is only available for IMPULSE•VG+ Series 4 drives and is locked to
this setting. It is recommended for Hoist applications with no load brake and
requires encoder feedback.
NOTE: An Auto-Tune is recommended when using the Open Loop Vector or Flux
Vector control methods.
Step 6
Select a Motion
This step explains how to configure the VFD for a Hoist or Traverse application.
Traverse:
Set parameter A01-03 = 0 (Traverse).
Hoist (with Mechanical Load Brake):
Set parameter A01-03 = 1 (Standard Hoist).
This setting is not available for IMPULSE•VG+ Series 4 drives.
Hoist (with No Load Brake):
Set parameter A01-03 = 2 (NLB Hoist).
This setting is not available for IMPULSE•G+ Series 4 drives.
NOTE: An Auto-Tune is recommended when using a No Load Brake Hoist motion.
Step 7
Select a Speed Reference
This step lists the speed reference settings.
NOTE: Default speed settings will be automatically applied via X-Press
Programming™. See technical manual for more details and wiring instructions.
2-Speed Multi-Step:
A01-04 = 0
Uni-Polar Analog:
A01-04 = 5
3-Speed Multi-Step:
A01-04 = 1
Bi-Polar Analog:
A01-04 = 6
5-Speed Multi-Step:
A01-04 = 2
Industrial Communication:
A01-04 = 7
2-Step Infinitely Variable:
A01-04 = 3
RS485 Communication:
A01-04 = 8
3-Step Infinitely Variable:
A01-04 = 4
Step 8
Auto-Tuning with Motor
In this step the IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4 drive is set up for
use with the motor. Make sure all protective covers have been
re-attached and then apply power to the VFD. DO NOT RUN
THE MOTOR.
Press
until the Digital Operator shows the Auto-Tuning
menu. Then press
.
V/f:
Set T01-01 = 2 (Term Resistance)
Open Loop Vector and Flux Vector:
Decouple motor from load and disengage brake.
Set T01-01 = 0 (Standard Tuning)
Press
until the Digital Operator shows parameter T01-02 Mtr Rated Power.
Then press
.
Press
to select the digit you would like to change and use
to adjust
value, then press
to save.
Press
to select the next parameter and follow the same procedure described
above to adjust its value.
T01-03 Rated Voltage (e.g., 230 V, 460 V)
T01-04 Rated Current (e.g., 22.0 A)
T01-05 Rated Frequency (e.g., 60.0 Hz)
T01-06 Number of Poles (e.g., 4 Poles)
T01-07 Rated Speed (e.g., 1750 rpm)
T01-08 Encoder Pulses per Rev (e.g., 1024 PPR)
T01-09 No-Load Current (e.g., 5.0 A)
T01-10 Motor Rated Slip (e.g., 2.90 Hz)
Press the RUN key to start the Auto-Tune.
For Europe: Enter Motor Power in kW
For USA: Enter Motor Power in HP
WARNING! SUDDEN MOVEMENT HAZARD. The motor will spin
during a standard Auto-Tune.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. High voltage will be
supplied to the motor when Auto-Tuning is performed. Do not
touch the motor during Auto-Tuning.
