sensitive to pick-up from other electrical circuits. Examples
include wiring from the tachometer and from the speed setting
device. Erratic or improper operation ofthe equipment is ikaly if
‘the following precautions are not observed:
1. Where shielded cable is required, use 2- or 3- conductor
‘twisted and shielded cable with the shield ether connected as
shown in the drawings, or ‘floating’, itso specified. If the
shiald is to be connected, do so only atthe specified terminal
in the drive unt. Do not connect at a remote location.
2. Shielded cables outside the drive enclosure should be run
‘separate steol conduit, and should not be mixed in with other
Cirouts that are not wired with shielded cab
3, Inside the drive equipment, whenever possible, avoid running
the shiolded cable close to other circuts. Avoid long paralel
runs to other non-shielded circuts, and cross other cable
bundles at right angles.
Donot connect any external circuits othe drive or its associated
‘equipment other than those shown on the diagrams supplied
Connection of external devices to the tachometer or speed
setting device can significantly atfect drive performance.

General Information
2.1 INTRODUCTION
‘This instruction manual contains installation information, operat-
ing instructions, and troubleshooting procedures for this adjust-
able voltage DC drive. Italso includes a complete description of
the control with detailed product specifications and a complete
description of all customer selectable functions and customer
installable option kits.
For most drive applications, the information contained in this
instruction manual will completely describe all drive system sot-
up and operating procedures. It should also provide all the
information required by the customer to install and maintain the
‘control. Inafew applications, additional drive system set-up and
‘operating information may be required. This information wil
‘generally be furnished in the form of system schematic and
‘system interconnection diagrams. An overall Systems Installa-
tion Manual may also be furnished.
This instruction manual should be read in its entirety before
beginning installation and before porforming any start-up or

2.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
‘The control is a high performance DC drive. It contains all the
required circuitry to control he speed of, or tocontrol the current
supplied to, small horsepower shunt wound or permanent mag-
net DC motors. It includes many standard featuras that are
{vellable only as options on other single phase DC drives. This,
allows the control to be used in custom engineered applications
4s well as standard speed regulated applications.
‘The DG motor speed is controlled by varying the DC voltage
applied to the motor armature, of the motor torque is controlled
by varying the current applied to the motor armature.
Single phase AC input power is converted to variable voltage DC
output power by the control. In speed regulated applicator
DC oufput voltage vaties as a function of an input reference
voltage. Typically, the input reference voltage is provided by an
‘operator adjustable potentiometer. Changing the potentiometer
setting (reference) rasults in a motor speed change. In torque
regulated applications, the DC output current varies as afunction
‘of an input reference voltage. Changing the torque reference
‘changes the current suppliedto the motor and resultsinachange
in motor torque output.
‘The control is designed to handle most single phase drive
applications without the need for costly, time-consuming engi=
neering,
Simple umper programming allowsfor maximum versatiliyinthe
rive, Functions such as input voltage selection (1/4 to 2 HP
only), armeture/tachometer feedback, voltage feedback level,
‘motor current range, and speedorque regulation are achieved
by customer selection ofthe jumper postions. Each control also
has standard adjustments for minimum/maximum speed, IR
compensation, acceleration/deceleration time and current limit,
‘An enclosed, less operators, and panel mount control design is
available, Two models are provided for each design — a low
horsepower (1/4-2HP) model and a high horsepower (3-SHP)
model.
2.3 TYPICAL PACKAGING

‘proceed tothe start-up procedure described in Paragraph 5.2.2.
‘This start-up procedure is equally applicableforthe panel mount,
less operators, and enclosed controls.
5.2.2 Operation and Adjustment
1. Turn the speed potentiometer extreme counterclockwise.
Insure thattheremote disconnectis admiting AC powertothe
control.
2. Set the On/OF switch (f used) to the ON position. This will
apply power to the control but it will not start the motor. The
DC POWERED indicator light on the main control board will
be off.
8. For initial startup, setthe Runidog switch (used) tothe RUN,
position. If the process requires a jog operation, disconnect
‘the motor shaft from the load.
4, Set the StarvStop switch to the START position to start the
motor. The green DC POWER LED indicator light wil ilumi-
rato.
NOTE
‘On the enclosure mount controls, the provided Start/
‘Stop switch will spring back to a middle position after it
has been placed in the START position and released.
‘This switch must be momentarily held in the START
position to start the motor.

With the motor rotating, adjust the operator speed potentiome-
ter up and down. Changing the potentiometer setting (rofer-
‘ence) results in a motor RPM change when operating in the
UN or JOG mode. Check that the motor follows this speed
reference.
When the unit is used as a torque control, the potentiometer,
‘sets the motor torque level, and the moter acceleratesor do-
ccolerates until the load torque equals the torque setting
3. At this point, place the RuniJog switch in the JOG postion if
jog operation is desired. Connectthe motor shaft tothe load.
In this position, the motor operates only when the StarlStop
‘switch is held in the START postion.
‘The control can be stopped in one of two (2) ways as follows:
‘A. A coast stop is initiated by either placing the StarvStop
‘switch in the STOP position or by removing the AC power
at the local On/OHf switch or at the remote disconnect.
‘Once AC power is removed and then restored, the Start!
‘Stop switch must be momentarily set to the START posi-
tion to restart the motor.
B. A taster coast stop can be accomplished by installing the
Dynamic Braking Kit. The "M” Contactor Kit or Magnetic
Reversing Kit is required in this application. Refer to
Figures 9-6 through 9-13 and the instruction sheets pro-
vided wit the individual kts for installation information.
Five (5) customer adjustable potentiometers are located on
the main PCboard as shownin Figure 4-1, These potentiome-
ters have been preset. However, for propor operation in some,
applications, minor readjustments may be necessary.
Before making final adjustments, allow the motor to warm up
{oratleast 15 minutes. Withthe control driving amotor, do nat,
‘exceed ten (10) dogrees of potentiometer rotation per second.

Power Bridge Assembly
“The power bridge supplied inthe control consists of an encapsu-
lated SCR power cube containing two (2) SCRs and three (3)
diodes. The basic operation consists of the following sequence.
When Lis more positive with respect toL2, SCRI is gated "on"
at a paficular phase angle commanded by the drive regulator
circuitry. Currentthen flows from 1, through SCRI, the shunt re-
sistor, the drive motor, diode 02, and back to L2.’ When L2 is
‘more positive with respect to L1, SCR2 is gated ‘on’. Current
flows from L2, through SCR2, the shunt resistor, diode D1, and
back to Li. This results in a positive current flow through the
motor.

ity of the load current when the previously “fired” SCR becomes
reverse biased, This diode also helps the SCR retum to its

Suridog and StartStop Logie
‘The run sequence is as follows:
A. Switch StarStop switch to START momentarily.
B. CAR picks up and is sealed in through its normally open
contacts.
©. The accoldecel circu, the regulator circulty, and the
‘speed pot reference supply are released.\Whenthe stop pushbutton is depressed, CRRis dropped out and
all tems mentioned in "C* above are clamped.
When "jog" (at run speed) is selected, the Star/Stop switch
iniates the same sequence as detailed above (A, B& C) with the
‘exception that CAR does not seal in and thus drops out when the
Starv/Stop switch is released.
6.3 ACCEL/DECEL CIRCUIT
‘The accel/decel circuit accepts a 0 to +10 volt (1mA maximum)
signal from either an isolated external voltage source or an
internal +10 vot zener regulated supply, with operator's speed
potentiometer connected as shown in Figure 6-3. This circuit is
‘non-inverting, and has a single linear acce/decel time adjust-
ment from 2 to 30 seconds. The output is then used as a
reference to the control's velocty error amplifier. A clamp circult
is provided to clamp the cutput to zero whenever the drive is not
inthe run mode. Also note that the +10 volt speed potentiometer
‘supply is only present in the run mode.
6.4 REGULATING CIRCUITRY
‘Throughout this paragraph, refer to Figure 6-3.
‘The mutt-loop regulator circuitry consists of aninner currentloop
and an outer voltage (or speed) loop.
‘The current error amplifier is a proportional plus integral contro!-
ler. Theinputto this amplifiers an errorcurrent, tis derived fram
the addition of a negative current reference (trom the velocity
error amplifier) and a posttive feedback current (from the current
scaling amplifier). This error current ramps the current error
ampitfiarto a positive voltage. When fed tothe fring circuits, this
will enable the gated firing pulse generator at a phase angle
which will provide the amount of current demanded by the
velocity error amplifier. The remaining input to this amplifier is a
positive signal which is only present in a stop condition. Its
purpose is to clamp (or reset) the current amplifier whenever a
stop command is given.
The velocity error ampitier is also a proportional plus integral
controler. itfunctions in the same manner as the current error
‘ampitier, with this exception. tts error currentis derived from the
sum of a positive reference current trom the accelidecel circuit)
‘anda negative feedback current (rom either the armature ortach
generator). The output of this amplifier is the negative current
reference voltage. There ara also two additional inputs to this,
amplifier. The fist one is the IR compensation signal. This is a
Positive feedback signal and is derived from the current scaling
ampliior. ts purpose is to compensats for the IR drop in the
motor. This allows the motorto maintain aconstant speed (within
+£1%ofbase speed) from no oad tofullload. The secondo! these
inputs isthe jog input. This allows the drive to be stepped to jog
speed (0:30% of maximum speed).
6.5 FEEDBACK SCALING CIRCUITS
‘There are two scaling circuits, one for the voltage (or speed)
feedback and one for the current feedback. The voltage scaling
Circuitis a passive network with three ranges: high, medium and
low. This network also fiters the voltage feedback,
The curtent feedback scaling network consists of an adjustablo
gain inverting amplifier. This circuit has three ranges: high,
medium and ow.
‘The ranges mentioned above can be found in Tables 4-1 and
42 of this manual.

6.6 CURRENT LIMIT CIRCUIT
Current limting is achieved by limiting the current reference
voltage. As shown in Figure 6-3, the output of the volocty error
_amplfioris divided by the currentlimit potentiometer whose wiper
then feeds the current error amplifier. The divider ratio can be
adjusted from 0 to 1 which will allow a 0 to 5.6 volt maximum
‘current reference signal. 5.6 volt value corresponds to 150%
(of control nominal rating.
6.7 FIRING CIRCUITS
The tiring circuits consis of three pars; 1) a timing ramp crcut,
2) acomparatorcrout, and 3) agated 855 osclator. Tho timing
ramp is produced by allowing a capactoro charge to 10 vols in
10 mSec. This is reset to zero volts at ever lina zor0 crossing.
‘This ramp votage is then compared to the output voltage of tre
current ertor ampifier. When the ramp voltage exceeds the
Current eror voltage the comparator toggles to + 1S volts DCand
enables the gated oscilator. This oscillator will produce fring
pulses 40 See wide and 800 uSec apar.

Four (4) power supplies are available. These supplies are +24
\VDC and 315 VDC. Te unit power supply transtormeris jumper

use except fr pre-engineered option kits.
6.9 INDICATORS
‘There aretwo indicators provided on the main control board. The
first of the CURRENT LIMIT indicator. When this LED
lights, it indicates thatthe drive has reached the current level as
‘setby the current mit potentiomoter. The second indicator pro-
vided is the DC POWER LED. This LED willbe on any time gate

Basic Application Information
10.1 BASIC MECHANICS
‘Two (2) basic mechanical parameters, torque and horsepower,
‘must be completely understood to properly apply DC drives
10.1.1 Torque
“Torque is a force applied that tends to produce rotation. Torque
(force) without rotation is called static torque, since no motion is.
produced.
Torque is measured in b-in or lb-ft. It is the product of the force
in pounds (i) x the distance in inches (in) or fest (t) from the
Center ofthe point of apparent rotation. Figure 10-1 shows 120,
lin (12 inches x 10) or 10 lb-ft of torque.
| io tes
Figure 10-1.
Example of 10 lb-ft Applied Torque
Bacause most power transmission is based upon rotating ele-
torque is important as a moasuremont of the sffort
required to produce work.
10.1.2 Horsepower
Horsepower a measure ofthe rate at which works being done.
When a force is applied in a manner that produces motion, work
‘can be measured. ‘One (1) horsepower (HP) is defined as the
force required to litt 33,000 Ibs. one foot in one minute.
10.2 TORQUE VS. HORSEPOWER
A simple formula exists that relates torque and horsepower to
‘each other. This formula is:
‘Toraue (bt) Speed (RPM)
5250
Horsepower =
10.3 MATCHING THE DRIVE TO THE MACHINE
‘The application of an adjustable speed drive to a machine is a
mechanical, rather than an electrical problem. When applying
the drive, the speed, torque, and horsepower characteristics de-
veloped atthe motor shaft mustbe considered. These must meat
or exceed the torque and horsepower requirements of the
machine being driven.
‘The torque requirements of a machine fall into thr
categories:
major
1. Breakaway torque
2. Acealarating torque
8, Running Torque
10.3.1 Breakaway Torque
Breakaway torque is the torque required to start a machine in
‘motion. tts almost always greater than the torque required to
‘maintain motion (running torque). In some applications, breaka-
way torque is a very important parameter that cannot bo ne-
glected.
53
10.3.2 Accelerating Torque
This is the torque required to bring the machine to operating
spoed within a given time. With most machinas, the toad is
largely fiction and a standard drive rating may have adequate
torque for salistacory acceleration. However, certain machines
classified as“high inertia" with tywheols, bullgears or othe large
rotating masses may require drive selection based upon the
power required to accelerate the oad witin a given time
10.33 Running Torque
This is the torque required to maintain machine motion after it
accelerates to the desired operating speed. Running torque
Usually a combination ofthe torque required to push, pul, com-
press, strech or process the material plus the torque required to
‘overcome frictional forces and windage. Running torque may
vary as a complex function of operating speed. It is very
important to understand the torque requirements of the applica-
tion bofore attempting to apply a drive. Ingeneral, most applica
tions will fall into one of the following categories:
A. Constant torque
B. Constant horsepower
. Variable torque
‘Alimited number of machines may have operating characteris-
tics which are a composite ofthe basic typos.
‘A. Constant Torque - About 80% of all general industrial
machines (otherthan pumps) areconstantterque
systems. The machine torque requirements in-

‘The factor WK*is the weight (Ib) of an object mutiplied by the
‘square of the radius of gyration (K). The unit measurement ofthe
radius of gyration is expressed in feet.
For solid or hollow cylinders, inertia may be calculated by using
the equations given here,The inertia ot solid steel! shatting per inch of shaft length is given Table 10-2

5610.6.3 WK? of Rotating Elements
In practical mechanical systems, all the rotating parts do not
operate at the same speed. The WK? of all moving parts
erating at each speed must be reduced to an equivalent WK?
at the motor shatt, so that they can all be added together and
treated as a unt, as folows:
Eovivaont WHE = WH ()#
Where
\W2 = inertia of the moving part
Ne speed of the moving part (APM)
1, = $Peed of the driving motor (RPM)
ns
WEGe, = WIE + WIE + WEE
When using speed reducers, and the machine inertia is reflected
‘back to the motor shalt, the equivalent inertia is equal to the
machine inertia divided by the square of the drive reduction rat
10.6.4 WK? of Linear Motion
Not ll driven systems involve rotating motion. The equivalent
WK of linearly moving parts can also be reduced to the motor
shaft speed as follows:
Equivalent WK? = WAVE
39.5(N,
where,
W = woight of oad (Ib)
\V= linear velocity of rack and load or conveyor and load (FPM)
N, = speed of the driving motor (RPM)
This equation can only be used where the linear speed bears a
continuous fixed relationship to the motor speed, such as a
conveyor,

‘Aioad requiring high torque at low speeds, low torque athigh speeds, and
thus constant horsepower at any speed.
‘Aload requiring the same amount of torque at low speed as at highspeed.
‘Torque remains constant throughout the speed range, and the horse~
ower increases and decreases in direct proportion to the speed.
Control run relay
‘A measure ofthe rate at which work is being done, One (1) horsepower
(HP)is defined as the force requiredito ft 33,000 lbs. one foot in one min-
ute,
‘An adjustment that overcomes the natural tendency for a motor to
decelerate with increasing load.
Light emitting diode.
(One which rotates the DC motor in only one direction to supply rotational
energy oF torque into the load.
‘A load such as a process tension difference, a downhill bad or machine
inertia that requires the motor to provide holdback torque fo brake the
load. A regenerative drive or energy absorber kit is usually requited in
these applications,
‘One which can both deliver and remove electrical energy to or from a
‘motor. In this manner, rotational mechanical energy can be supplied to
or be removed from, load,
Silicon controlled rectifier.
Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated.
‘A foree applied that tends to produce rotation. Breakaway torque is the
torque required to start a machine in motion. Accelerating torque is the
{torque required to bring the machine to operating speed within a given
time. Running torque isthe torque required to maintain machine motion
after it accelerates to the desired operating speed.
‘Aload requiring much lower torque at low speeds than at high speeds.
Horsepower varies approximately as the cube of the speed, and the
torque varies approximately as the square of the speed,
