    efesotomasyon.com - Yaskawa ac drive,servo motor MagneTe k GPD 503 Technical Manual efesotomasyon.com - Yaskawa ac drive,servo motor GPD 503 SIMPLIFIED START-UP PROCEDURE This procedure will quickly get you up and running by Digital Operator keypad or user supplied remote operator control. It assumes that the GPD 503 and motor are correctly wired (see pages 1-8 thru 1-15), and start-up is to be performed without any changes to factory set constants. Detailed information on the many other features of this drive will be found in later sections of this manual. INSTALLATION 1. Be certain your input voltage source, motor, and drive name plates are all marked either 230V, 460V, or 575V. Other voltages can be used, but require additional programming, see Section 2. 2. Mount drive on a vertical surface with adequate space for air circulation. 3. Remove front cover, fit conduit to bottom plate, and connect power and ground wires as shown. CAUTION Be certain you connect input power to terminals L1, L2, and L3 only, or serious damage will result. Connect motor to terminals T1, T2, and T3 only. KEYPAD OPERATION 1. Replace cover and apply input power - keypad display shows "F00.00 "; DRIVE, FWD, and STOP lampS are on. Press and hold JOG key, noting direction of motor rotation. If it is incorrect, remove power, wait for “CHARGE” light to go out, then switch wires between terminals T1, and T2. Replace cover, and apply input power. 2. Run, Stop, and Frequency (Speed) - Here, the terms frequency and speed are used interchangeably.

  • 57 Control Modes the MICROMASTER Has Four
    Control Modes The MICROMASTER has four modes of operation: Linear voltage/frequency (410, 420, 440) Quadratic voltage/frequency (410, 420, 440) Flux Current Control (FCC) (440) Sensorless vector frequency control (440) Closed loop vector control (440 with encoder option card) Linear Voltage/Frequency The MICROMASTER can operate utilizing a standard V/Hz curve. Using a 460 VAC, 60 Hz motor as an example, constant volts per hertz is supplied to the motor at any frequency between 0 and 60 Hz. This is the simplest type of control and is suitable for general purpose applications. Quadratic Operation A second mode of operation is referred to as a quadratic voltage/frequency curve. This mode provides a V/Hz curve that matches the torque requirements of simple fan and pump applications. 57 Flux Current Control Stator current (IS) is made up of active and reactive current. The reactive current component of stator current produces the rotating magnetic field. The active current produces work. Motor nameplate data is entered into the drive. The drive estimates motor magnetic flux based on the measured reactive stator current and the entered nameplate data. Proprietary internal computer algorithms attempt to keep the estimated magnetic flux constant. If the motor nameplate information has been correctly entered and the drive properly set up, the flux current control mode will usually provide better dynamic performance than simple V/Hz control. Flux current control automatically adapts the drive output to the load. The motor is always operated at optimum efficiency. Speed remains reliably constant even under varying load conditions. Sensorless Vector Control In the past, the dynamic response of a DC motor was generally considered significantly better than an AC motor.

Rajamanickam 4, Sneha Sankar 5 1M.Tech Scholar, VJTI, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400019, 2,5 M.Tech Scholar, VIT University, Katpadi, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, 632014, 3,4 Larsen & Toubro, R&D, Electrical & automation, Mahape, Navi Mumbai, ABSTRACT Any variable frequency drive requires an efficient and controlled braking system. Therefore, different braking techniques have been the subject area of researchers to enhance the performance as well as overall life of the drives. In this paper, a literature study is made of various existing braking methods, focused on induction motor (IM) drive performance. The braking methods are compared and summarized based on speed range, braking time and efficiency of 3-phase squirrel cage IM drive. Finally, an advancedD.C. braking technique is presented where braking torque in terms of varyingD.C.signal is injected into the stator windings using fully controlled Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation pulses (SVPWM). A method has been described for providing occasional fast, smooth and controlled braking torque from a non-regenerative VFD, without additional power circuits. Simulations are performed in MATLAB/Simulink, tested and validated on Digital signal processor (DSP) based drive. Test results are presented in this paper. KEYWORDS 3-Phase Induction Motor, Braking, Conventional, AC Drive, VFD, MATLAB/Simulink, DSP. 1. INTRODUCTION Three-phase induction motor drives are extensively used in different sectors of drives industry, but it is a challenge to stop them in short period of timeespecially for high inertia loads.

The proposed eme1rgency braking method can brake most induction machines under 4 seconds. Design considerations, advantage and drawback are then discussed. Keywords: Dynamic braking, Induction motors 1. INTRODUCTION The term braking comes from the term brake. the brake is an equipment to reduce the speed of any moving or rotating equipment, like vehicles, locomotives. The process of applying brakes can be termed as braking. DC injection breaking is a method of slowing ac electric motor. A dc voltage is injected into the winding of ac motor after the ac voltage is disconnected providing breaking for the rotor Three-phase induction motor drives are extensively used in different sectors of drives industry, but it is a challenge to stop them in short period of time especially for high inertia loads. To control an electric machine by electric drives, its braking system is very important because it helps to decrease the speed of the motor according to will and necessity. Electronic D.C.

Prof. a1 Hawija Technical Institute/ Kirkuk/IRAQ Abstract The braking methods such as regenerative, dynamic and D.C. injection, of the 3-phase induction motor fed from a rectifier- inverter system, has been carried out analytically in a systematic manner by a digital computer using a conventional and proven tensor technique. The use of the tensor technique for simulation of rectifier-inverter, and direct 3-phase model for the motor lead to an accurate prediction of their combined performance. The braking methods were studied theoretically, while a transient condition was tak en to show and examine the validity of the computer program used in the analysis. © 20112011 Published Published by byElsevier Elsevier Ltd.
