Energy Optimiser

0 : Disabled
1: Enabled
. When enabled, the Energy Optimiser attempts to reduce the overall energy consumed by the drive and motor by
reducing the output voltage during constant speed, light load operation. The Energy Optimiser is intended for applications where
the drive may operate for some periods of time with constant speed and light motor load, whether constant or variable torque.
P-07
Motor Rated Voltage / Back EMF at rated speed (PM / BLDC)
0
250 / 500
230 / 400
V
For Induction Motors, this parameter should be set to the rated (nameplate) voltage of the motor (Volts).
For Permanent Magnet or Brushless DC Motors, it should be set to the Back EMF at rated speed.
P-08
Motor Rated Current
Drive Rating Dependent
A
This parameter should be set to the rated (nameplate) current of the motor
P-09
Motor Rated Frequency
10
500
50 (60)
Hz
This parameter should be set to the rated (nameplate) frequency of the motor
P-10
Motor Rated Speed
0
30000
0
RPM
This parameter can optionally be set to the rated (nameplate) RPM of the motor. When set to the default value of zero, all speed
related parameters are displayed in Hz and the slip compensation (where motor speed is maintained at a constant value regardless
of applied load) for the motor is disabled. Entering the value from the motor nameplate enables the slip compensation function, and
the TECDrive display will now show motor speed in RPM. All speed related parameters, such as Minimum and Maximum Speed,
Preset Speeds etc. will also be displayed in RPM.
Note
If P-09 value is changed, P-10 value is reset to 0

Low frequency torque can be improved by increasing this parameter. Excessive boost levels may however result in high motor
current and increased risk of tripping on Over Current or Motor Overload (refer to section 10.1)
This parameter operates in conjunction with P-51 (Motor Control Mode) as follows :-

Boost is automatically calculated according to autotune data

Voltage boost = P-11 x P-07.This voltage is applied at 0.0Hz, and linearly reduced until P-09 / 2

Voltage boost = P-11 x P-07.This voltage is applied at 0.0Hz, and linearly reduced until P-09 / 2

All
Boost current level = 4*P-11*P-08
For IM motors, when P-51 = 0 or 1, a suitable setting can usually be found by operating the motor under very low or no load
conditions at approximately 5Hz, and adjusting P-11 until the motor current is approximately the magnetising current (if known) or
in the range shown below.
Frame Size 1 : 60
–
80% of motor rated current
Frame Size 2 : 50
–
60% of motor rated current
Frame Size 3 : 40

Frame Size 4 : 35
–
45% of motor rated current

0: Terminal Control
. The drive responds directly to signals applied to the control terminals.
1: Uni-directional Keypad Control
. The drive can be controlled in the forward direction only using the internal keypad, or an
external remote Keypad.
2: Bi-directional Keypad Control
. The drive can be controlled in the forward and reverse directions u using the internal keypad, or
an external remote Keypad. Pressing the keypad START button toggles between forward and reverse.
3: Modbus Network Control.
Control via Modbus RTU (RS485) using the internal Accel / Decel ramps
4: Modbus Network Control.
Control via Modbus RTU (RS485) interface with Accel / Decel ramps updated via Modbus
5: PI Control.
User PI control with external feedback signal
6: PI Analog Summation Control.
PI control with external feedback signal and summation with analog input 1
7: CAN open Control
. Control via CAN (RS485) using the internal Accel / Decel ramps
8: CAN open Control
. Control via CAN (RS485) interface with Accel / Decel ramps updated via CAN
9: Slave Mode
. Control via a connected Invertek drive in Master Mode. Slave drive address must be > 1.
NOTE
When P-12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 or 9, an enable signal must still be provided at the control terminals, digital input 1
