Ramp rate for the power optimization area.

15 RAMP CHANGE SPEED

Speeed at which the ramp rate will change.

1 POWOP SELECT

TRUE Power optimization is active (only used on hoist drive).

FALSE Power optimization not active.

2 BASE SPEED

Breakpoint for Power optimization calculation. Set in percent of parameter 69.1 SPEED SCALING RPM. Above this speed constant power, corresponding to level set in parameters 68.6 & 68.7 , is obtained.

Normally the speed where field weakening starts and the available RMS power of the motor is constant. Full load torque possible for mechanics up to this speed.

3 POWOP AUTOTUNE SEL

TRUE Activates the tuning.

Note: The parameter is reset to FALSE after each calculated Total inertia value. The value of the inertia can be read in actual signal no.1.24 TOTAL INERTIA An average value after running 2-3 times in each direction should than be entered

to parameters INERTIA TOTAL UP and INERTIA TOTAL DWN respectively FALSE

Autotune mode not active

4 INERTIA TOTAL UP

Total inertia measured in upwards direction NOTE: Calculation of Inertia parameters has changed compared to previous sw

versions (crane application sw version ACAA7020 and earlier). For upgrading a drive with earlier sw versions use the following rescaling formula for Inertia parameters 68.4 and 68.5 .

Inertia(new) = ((8363*Pnom) / (nmax * nnom)) * Inertia(old). Where: - "Pnom" is the value of parameter 99.9 MOTOR NOM POWER. - "nmax" is the value of parameter 69.1 SPEED SCALING RPM - "nnom" is the value of parameter 99.8 MOTOR NOM SPEED.

5 INERTIA TOTAL DWN

Total inertia measured in downwards direction

6 TQLIM UP

Maximum load torque allowed upwards (=field weakening power limit)

7 TQLIM DWN

Maximum load torque allowed downwards (=field weakening power limit)

8 POWOP RESET LEV

Speed level where the calculated power optimization reference will be reset to be prepared for a new calculation during the next acceleration.

9 T MAX

Motor maximum relative torque capacity (also called "Pull-out torque" or "Breakdown torque" level) per motor catalogue. Often given as e.g. Tmax/Tn = 2.5 (=250%).

Note: Enter motor Tmax value (as normally given in catalogues for sinusoidal supply = direct-on-line data), without subtracting the 30% "frequency converter supply reduction factor".

If instead having a Tmax/Tn value given as a part of "Inverter parameter settings" values in a motor data sheet, than value must be divided with 0.7 (and multiplied with 100 to get %) before set to parameter 68.9.

10 LOAD TORQ FILT TC

Filter time constant for calculated signal 2.31 LOAD TORQUE % (see also Power

optimization (68) on page 93 ).

11 SLACK ROPE TQ LEV

Detection level for "slack rope", (see page 5-33 for more details on "Slack rope" function). Load torque signal (2.31) dropping below this level is considered a "slack rope", making a Fast stop type 1 to the drive. Setting of -400% (default) will disable the Fast stop.

12 LOADCORR FACT UP

Load correction factor in hoisting direction for LOAD TORQUE % signal 2.31 . To include the mechanical efficiency (in p.u.) of hoist machinery driven by hoist motor as well as motor utilization when hoisting nominal load (i.e. motor torque in p.u. at full load). E.g.: Eff. 0.9 * Util. 1.0 = 0.90.

13 LOADCORR FACT DWN

Load correction factor in lowering direction. Note: efficiency part for lowering is calculated as 1/mech.eff. E.g. 1/0.9=1.10 .

14 RAMP RATE POWOP

Only to be used when a different (usually faster) acceleration time (0 to maximum speed) is required when driving with light load

Set a value for the ramp rate in the power optimization area (above base speed). The value in 68.14 (0 ... 100%) is multplied with parameter 69.2, ACC TIME FORWARD. This results in faster acceleration in hoist up direction, in order to fulfill the requirement of different acceleration times to maximum speed with light and heavy load.

15 RAMP CHANGE SPEED

Set the speed - in percentage of maximum speed - at which the power optimization ramp rate is added, usually at base speed.

If the motor nominal speed is higher than the base speed, it may be better to select the nominal speed.
