Standard Start-up PF70, PF700, PF700VC A and PF700VC B
It is the responsibility of the engineer / end user to use proper safety precautions when working with any
equipment required for this Start-up.
Before applying power
Check for Ungrounded Distribution System – if it is, remove the MOV’ S and Common Mode Bus CAP
Jumpers/Wires and check for High KVA of utility – if it is, you may need an ac line reactor or an isolation
transformer. Check for High Resistance Grounding – if it is, remove the MOV’ S and Common Mode
Bus CAP Jumpers/Wires. For frames 5 & 6 also remove the Input Filter Cap wires.
Before applying power check the following for proper wiring: (check all Grounding)
Drive (Get Catalog number
) & (FRN
)
(Once power is applied the FRN can be found in P29)

Enter Torque Perf Mode / Motor CNTL SEL
P53 = 0 Sensrls Vect, 1 SV Economize, 2 Custom V/Hz, 3 Fan/Pump, 4 FVC, 5 Adj Voltage
(Selecting a value of 0 Sensrls Vect or 4 FVC requires that an Autotune be completed)
(Finish setting all the parameters in this document before running the Autotunes)



FVC = Better speed reg, torque reg and more parameters available
Custom V/HZ does not require an autotune. Only P69 (Start Boost) and P70 (Run Boost) -with
Custom motors P71 [Break Voltage] and P72 [Break Frequency] may need to be adjusted as well
- to provide a Linear V/HZ curve. P69 start at 2V and slowly work your way up in increments of
2Volts. P70 usually does not need to be adjusted but if it is - it should always be less than P69.
Whenever multiple motors on one drive P53 must be set to Custom V/HZ
Note: Use P79 to convert all convertible Speed Parameters to either HZ or RPM
P79= 2 Convert HZ, 3 Convert RPM
Enter Speed Mode
P80 [Speed Mode] is set to the correct setting for the application
P80= 0 Open Loop, 1 Slip Comp, 2 Reserved, 3 Encoder, 4 Reserved, 5 Simulator
When P80 is set to 3 Encoder make sure you set the encoder parameters correctly.

Note: The Value of P82 [Maximum Speed] + the Value of P83 [Overspeed Limit] must be less than or
equal to P55 [Maximum Freq]
Speed reference scaling is (32767divided by the value in P55) times the value in P82= 15123 at
Default - So, 0 to 15123 = 0 to 60HZ Unless P298 = 1 then it is 0 to 32767 = 0 to 60HZ / 0 to P82 value

Note :> Selecting a preset speed through a digital input P361-P366 takes priority over other
speed references.
Enter Accel and Decel times
P140 = [Accel Time 1] =
P142 = [Decel Time 1] =
Sec
Sec
(Default)
10 Sec
10 Sec
Note: Setting P140 and P142 to a small value can cause an F24 (Decel inhibit) once the motor is started.
Try setting them to a larger value. If this does not help then set Bit 6 of P238 [Fault Config 1]
To a Zero. This many times will get rid of the F24 fault. Now, it is possible to see Bus over voltage
faults and current limit faults. If you get bus over voltage faults you should install a Dynamic brake
unit. If you are getting current limit faults you should check the current limit setting and make sure the
motor nameplate information is correct and if in sens vector or FVC make sure the correct auto-tunes
were done.
(Many fan applications need to have a long Accel/Decel time like 120-180 Sec)
Enter Current Limit
P147 = [Current Lmt Sel] =
P148 = [Current Lmt Val] =
(Default)
“0 Cur Lim Val”
“Rated Amps x 1.5” Based on Drive Rating
Enter Stop mode
P155 = Stop Mode A/ Stop/Brk Mode A =
(Default)
Ramp
Note: If you are using an External Dynamic Brake P155 Must be set to Ramp or the Dynamic Brake will
never work. Also set P161 [Bus Reg Mode A] to 2 “Dynamic Brak” & P163 [DB Resistor Type] to 1
“External Res”.

Enter Direction Mode
P190 = Direction Mode = 0 Unipolar, 1 Bipolar, 2 Reverse Dis
Unipolar is used when you are going to select the Direction with a digital input or a logic command through
communications. Bipolar is used when you are providing a +/- voltage or a +/- speed reference from comms.
Reverse Dis is used whenever you don’t want the drive/motor to go into reverse.
Check P279 (Direction Mask)

Note: when using a switch for selecting manual speed reference and or Auto speed reference simply
Program one of the digital inputs for a value of 15 “Speed Sel 1”.
When there is a contact closure on that input the drive will look for the speed reference –
from P93 Reference B.
When the contact is open on that digital input then the drive will look for the speed reference from
P90 Reference A as shown in the chart above. The drive defaults P364 to a value of 15 “speed Sel 1”

Motor Rotation/Encoder Direction Test The following setting will be (Just for the Rotation/Direction Test)
(Only follow the encoder instructions if you have an Encoder)
(You can use the start-up procedure and select the Motor Rotation Test Or do it manually)
P53= Temporarily set to either 0 Sensrls Vect or 2 Custom V/Hz (Just for the Direction Test)
P80=0 Open Loop
P90=11 Preset Spd1 (preset speed 1 is P101) Set P101 to 20 HZ
Start the drive. Check that the direction and Polarity match what you want - if not provide a stop command
and remove power from the drive then swap any 2 motor leads - reapply power to the drive. In stead of
swapping the motor leads you can set Bit 5 Mtr Lead Rev in P56 [Compensation] to a 1. If you do change
P56 you must remember - When you reset defaults you will have to set P56 Bit 5 again.
With Encoder 1st set it up in open loop as shown above then set P80= 3 encoder and set P412 & P413
P80=3 Encoder > P412 [Motor Fdbk Type]
P413 [Encoder PPR]
P90=11 Preset Spd1 (preset speed 1 is P101) Set P101 to 20HZ
Then check P414 [Enc Position Fdbk] and enter data below. (Before Start and After Start)
P414 = [Enc Position Fdbk] = Before
Start the drive.
P414 = [Enc Position Fdbk] = After
(Positive direction the counts should be getting larger
and in the negative direction the counts should be getting less)–(for Quad it will increase/decrease X 4 PPR)
If the “After” Number does not follow what is expected then provide a stop command - power the drive off
and swap A and A Not.
When the drive is running check P415 [Encoder Speed] and see if the polarity of the encoder matches the
output frequency. If it doesn’t then provide a stop command and power the drive off then swap A and A Not.
Motor Rotation/Encoder Direction test should now be complete
Make the necessary changes to put the parameters back to their settings prior to the test
*Note: If more than one Motor is connected to one drive then P53 should be set to Custom V/HZ.
Begin Autotunes
Autotune No Load (P53 = 0 Sensls Vect or 4 FVC)
P61 = Autotune Static. Calculate, [Rotate  (check if this can be done – It will run the motor to 45HZ)]
P62 = IR Volt drop  (Should be between 1 - 10 Volts)
*P63 = Flux Current Ref
*General rule of thumb for P62 and P63
(The value is read @ zero speed) P62 for all HP’s should be between 0-10volts
(The value is read @45HZ) P63 for 5HP and less it should be around 1/2
Of the motors name plate FLA.
For 7.5HP and higher the value runs between 20-30% of the motor name plate FLA.
For Custom motors get the manufacture Speed – Torque Curve Data Sheet.
Note :> to make any manual changes to P62 and P63 you must first set P61 to zero Ready
5
Autotune with Load (P53 = 4 FVC) (A Load Must be connected to the motor)
P67 =
Inertia Autotune [This will run the motor to 60Hz  (check if this can be done)]
P445 = Ki Speed Loop (This Parameter will automatically change whenever P449 is changed)
P446 = Kp Speed Loop (This Parameter will automatically change whenever P449 is changed)
*P449 = Speed Desired BW  (MUST manually enter)
*P450 = Total Inertia (automatically gets changed when the Inertia Autotune is executed & completed)
*General rule of thumb for P449 and P450
(These settings are application dependent -they can be higher or lower)
(Always start with a low value and slowly increase the value to meet you application needs)
A good place to start with P449 is a value between 12 – 40 Radians/Sec.
A good place to start with P450 is a value between 0.10 – 3 Sec
Note :> to make any manual changes to P450 you must first set P67 to zero Ready
When you enter a value in P449 Speed Desired BW is automatically enters a value in P445 Ki Speed Loop and P446 Kp Speed Loop. Setting P449 to a value of Zero will allow you to
manually change P445 and P446.
P449/450 can change drastically depending on the application Load and whether there is any kind of
mechanical advantage like a Gear box or belt and pulleys.
Note :> to make any manual changes to P445 and P446 you must first set P449 to zero
Other useful parameters:
Check Diagnostics P209 - P220, Check Masks P276 – P285 and Owners P288 – P297
Check P238 Fault Config 1 (Getting an F24 try setting bit 6 to a zero) the nuisance F24 will go away
or you may now get over currents or a bus over voltage
Check P243-P257 Fault codes 1-7, Check P259 Alarm config 1
Check P271 Drive Logic Rslt
Check P16 & P17 Analog In Value, Check P2 Commanded Freq
Check P29 Control SW Ver
Check P202 Voltage Class
If all went well the drive and motor should be working- save parameters into the HIM or connect with
DriveExecutive and save the Parameters as a .DNO file.
