Creating Custom Motor Files
Each motor controlled by a OMNIDRIVE requires a unique parameter set. The parameter set provides
the drive with information about the motor necessary for proper commutation, precise control and
protection.
Two types of motor parameter sets can be selected for a OMNIDRIVE using OMNI LINK software:
•
Standard motors parameters reside in a motor lookup table stored in the drive. Up to
65535 motors may be stored in the drive.
•
Custom motor parameters are created off-line and downloaded to the drive’s personality
module (EEPROM). Only one custom motor may be stored in the drive.
This appendix defines the motor parameters and explains how the drive uses the parameters to control
the motor. A step-by-step example details how to set up a motor file for an application using the motor’s
parameters. Difficulties commonly encountered when creating custom motor files also are explained.
TIP
Additional custom motors may be stored off-line as files accessible via a per-
sonal computer.
TIP
OMNI LINK Advanced is required to access Custom Motor features. The Help
menu in OMNI LINK explains how to access the Advanced features.
