Control optimization required
In some cases, the self optimization result is not satisfactory, or self optimization is not possible
as the motor cannot freely rotate.
W
Initially, the speed actual value follows the speed setpoint with
some delay, and then overshoots the speed setpoint.
W
First, the actual speed value increases faster than the speed
setpoint. Before the setpoint reaches its final value, it passes
the actual value. Finally, the actual value approaches the set‐
point without any significant overshoot.
In the two cases describe above, we recommend that you manually optimize the speed control.
Optimizing the speed controller
Requirements
● Torque precontrol is active: p1496 = 100 %.
● The load moment of inertia is constant and independent of the speed.
● The inverter requires 10 % … 50 % of the rated torque to accelerate.
When necessary, adapt the ramp-up and ramp-down times of the ramp-function generator
(p1120 and p1121).
● STARTER and Startdrive have trace functions that allow the speed setpoint and actual
value to be recorded.
Procedure
To optimize the speed controller, proceed as follows:
1. Switch on the motor.
2. Enter a speed setpoint of approximately 40 % of the rated speed.
3. Wait until the actual speed has stabilized.
4. Increase the setpoint up to a maximum of 60 % of the rated speed.
5. Monitor the associated characteristic of the setpoint and actual speed.
