3-2 ACS 600 Master/Follower Application Macro
Follower Station
The default settings of the Master/Follower macro parameters meet the
requirements of a typical Master station. The settings have to be
adjusted for the Follower station(s).
The parameters that typically need to be adjusted on the Follower
stations are listed in Table 3-1. The given settings meet the
requirements of a typical Follower station. The Speed Control column
gives the settings which are valid for a drive that follows the speed
reference of the Master. The Torque Control column gives the settings
which are valid for a drive that follows the torque reference of the
Master.
Table 3-1 The Follower Speed Control settings and Follower Torque
Control Settings. See also Appendix B – Parameter Settings.
Note:
In some applications, both speed control and torque control of the Followers are
required, e.g. if it is necessary to accelerate all drives along the same speed ramp up to
a certain speed before torque control can be implemented. In those cases, a “flying”
switching between speed and torque controls is required. The switching can be done
through a digital input of the Follower. A solution is to set Parameter 11.02 EXT1/EXT2
to DI3, 60.02 TORQUE SELECTOR to TORQUE and 60.03 WINDOW SEL ON to OFF.
With these settings,
• 0 V d.c connected to DI3 External control location 1 is selected and the Follower
follows the speed reference of the Master. Window control is disabled.
• +24 V d.c. connected to DI3 External control location 2 is selected and the
Follower follows the torque reference of the Master. Window control is enabled.
