Cover Contents Warnings Start-up Procedure 2 Warnings The following procedure is intended as a guide to assist qualified technical engineers with the start-up of the Powertec Genesis Series Drive. Dangerous voltages are present any time power is applied to the motor control and can exist even after power is removed. All possible steps should be made to minimize danger to all personnel while performing the start-up procedure. The technicians’ test equipment must be of suitable working order and verified for proper operation and calibration. Caution: this procedure is a rule of thumb only. Different machine dynamics may alter this procedure. Never activate the control until all personnel are in a safe area and the machine is uncoupled from the load. Time and patience are your friend here, attempting to rush this procedure will frustrate you and likely cause damage to the drive and/or motor and machine. 3 GENESIS SERIES START-UP PROCEDURE 1. Before applying power: Check motor and feedback connections for proper termination. Disconnect motor from load if possible. Turn current limit pot on the speed controller board fully counter-clockwise. Turn speed reference potentiometer fully counter-clockwise or make sure speed reference signal from speed pot, PLC, Digimax, controller, etc. is at zero volts. 2. Apply power to control: Allow buss to saturate (buss caps come up to full buss voltage – this will be around 325Vdc for 230 volt line and 650Vdc for 460 volt line). At this time, the buss LED will turn green on the Current Control board and you will hear the precharge contactor pull in. You should also have a green PWR LED, and one or two of the HS1, HS2 & HS3 LED’s. If all three HS(x) LED’s are lit or none are lit do not proceed. Call PRB Electronics, Inc. or Powertec for assistance. Apply a start command to the drive, but do not give a speed reference. (It may be necessary to disconnect the speed reference from the control to assure zero volts). Turn the motor shaft by hand while observing the HS(x) LED’s for changing state. You should observe the three LED’s change state from HS1 to HS2 to HS3 emulating the rotation of the motor shaft. It is possible that the reverse will be indicated depending on rotational direction of the motor shaft. 3. Rotational tests Initiate a stop command, turn off power and restore any circuits removed for the above tests. Reapply power and again allow buss to saturate. Attach a clamp on style ammeter around one of the motor lead wires. Initiate a start command and verify run and enable LED’s are lit. Apply a speed reference signal of about 10%. This will normally be around 1Vdc on the reference. You should see the current limit LED on the Speed Controller board light up. Slowly increase the current limit potentiometer on the Speed Controller board in a clockwise direction. Do not turn past about 25 degrees at this time. The motor should begin rotation at 5 to 10 degrees of angle (this will be indicated by the HS(x) LED’s on the Current Control board) and the current limit light will begin to dim and go out as you increase to about 10 degrees or so. If you reach 25 degrees movement on the current limit pot or the motor does not begin to rotate, STOP, return the current limit pot to full counter clockwise and call for service assistance. Monitor the motor current to verify a very low amount. Typically, you will see no more than 4 to 8 amps, even on large motors. If everything appears as described, set the speed reference to zero volts, initiate a stop command, return the current limit pot to full counter clockwise and restore motor shaft connection to the load. 4. Load tests Reapply power to the system and verify buss saturation as before in Para. 2. Initiate a start command and apply minimal speed reference of about 10% (1Vdc). Slowly increase the current limit pot while observing motor current and shaft rotation. Motor current will be significantly higher and the current limit LED will stay on longer due to the increased load, however, one should expect both to stabilize fairly quickly. 4 If motor load is in line with expectations and the current limit light is extinguished within 25 to 40% of clockwise rotation of the current limit pot, the speed reference can be increased slowly to a higher percentage. Increase the current limit pot to around 90% of clockwise rotation and put the system into production. If at any time the above tests produce un-described or unexpected results, do not continue until a reasonable explanation can be determined. You generally get only one chance to make a mistake!
