Auto-Tuning for PM Motors

This section gives information about Auto-Tuning for PM motors. Auto-Tuning sets motor parameters E1-xx and E5-xx.

Manual Entry w/ Motor Data Sheet

T2-01 = 0

  • When the information from the motor test report or motor nameplate is available.

  • Rotational/Stationary Auto-Tuning that energizes the motor is not done. Manually input the necessary motor parameters.

PM Stationary Auto-Tuning

T2-01 = 1

  • When the information from the motor test report or motor nameplate is not available.

Note:

With Stationary Auto-Tuning, the energized drive stays stopped for approximately 1 minute. During this time, the drive automatically measures the necessary motor parameters.

PM Stationary Auto-Tuning for Stator Resistance

T2-01 = 2

  • After Auto-Tuning, the wiring distance between the drive and motor changed by 50 m (164 ft) or more.

  • When the motor output and drive capacity are different.

x

Rotational (Ld, Lq, R, back-EMF)

T2-01 = 4

  • When the information from the motor test report or motor nameplate is not available.

  • When you can decouple the motor and load and the motor can rotate freely while Auto-Tuning.

  • Values measured during Auto-Tuning are automatically set to the motor parameters.

High Frequency Injection

T2-01 = 5

  • Automatically sets the control parameters that are necessary to set n8-35 = 1 [Initial Pole Detection Method = High Frequency Injection] or n8-57 = 1 [HFI Overlap Selection = Enabled].

  • Applicable to IPM motors only.

  • Do Auto-Tuning with the motor connected to the drive.

Note:

When you set n8-35 = 1 or n8-57 = 1, do High Frequency Injection Auto-Tuning. Set the data on the motor nameplate to the drive before you do High Frequency Injection Auto-Tuning. In High Frequency Injection Auto-Tuning, the drive energizes the stopped motor and automatically adjusts the parameters.

Input Data for PM Motor Auto-Tuning

To do Auto-Tuning, input data for the items in Table 2 and Table 3 that have an "x". Before you start Auto-Tuning, prepare the motor test report or record the information from the motor nameplate as a reference.
