Example 1: Master and Follower are coupled fixedly by a mechanical construction
(gearing, chain etc.)
To equalise the load between the Master and the Follower, Master is speed controlled and Fol-
lower follows the torque reference of the Master.
Parameter settings of the Master:
- See the default settings of the M/F Application macro in
Appendix B – Parameter Settings.
Parameter settings of the Follower:
- See the Follower Torque Control settings in
Appendix B – Parameter Settings
.
Operation:
When driven at normal operating conditions, the speed controller output (TORQ REF 2) of the
Follower is zero due to Window Control. The Follower follows the torque reference of the Master
(TORQ REF 1).
In a Follower load loss condition, Window Control activates the speed controller, thus preventing
the Follower drive from rushing up to the maximum speed limit:
– Follower actual speed starts to rise rapidly.
– Absolute value of the speed error (SPEED REF 3 - ACTUAL SPEED) exceeds the value set
with Parameter 60.05 WINDOW WIDTH NEG. As a consequence, the Window Control block
connects the error to the speed controller.
– The speed controller starts adding a negative term to the torque reference (TORQ REF 1).
The motor torque is limited and speed rise prevented.
The Run enable signal to the master is wired through Relay Output RO3 of the Follower. By
default, RO3 switches off the Run enable signal upon a Follower fault or power loss.
