Hints for speed controller autotuning
Only successfully commissioned selftuning will change
parameters of the speed controller Speed Reg KP
(5.07) and Speed Reg TI (5.08), other-wise parame-
ters remain unchanged. After selftuning the behav-
iour of the drive must be checked at low speed.
During selftuning the motor accelerates twice up two
80% nominal speed. The application must allow this,
if not, selftuning must not be carried out. In some
cases selftuning will be inhibited by the application.
What allows selftuning:
• motor decoupled from load
• motor + belt transmission
• motor + gear box
• motor + application with 10% load
What inhibits selftuning:
• oscillating load
• full load / overload
• high inertia ( causes long reaction periods)
It is not recommended to start selftuning with:
• cranes / elevators (selftuning is disregarding the lift
height)

Speed Autotuning failed
If autotuning fails during Commissioning Wizard:
• Reset the alarm by pressing the MENU button at
the operating panel.
• Press ENTER and follow the Commissioning Wiz-
ard up to the end.
• After finishing the Wizard the speed controller
can be adjusted in the following way:
• Set parameter Act Filt 1 Time (5.29) = 0.01s and
start autotuning (*)
• If fails set Act Filt 2 Time (5.30) = 0.01s and start
autotuning again (*)
• If fails set Act Filt 1 Time (5.29) = 0.02s and start
autotuning again (*)
• If fails set Act Filt 2 Time (5.30) = 0.02s and start
autotuning again (*)
• If fails again and again try to find out the right values
via manually speed tuning. In most cases Speed
Reg KP (5.07) = 1.000 and Speed Reg TI (5.08) =
100.0ms is helpful as a start condition.
Only successfully commissioned selftuning will change
parameters of the speed controller Speed Reg KP
(5.07) and Speed Reg TI (5.08), other-wise parame-
ters remain unchanged. After selftuning the behav-
iour of the drive must be checked at low speed.
(*) To start the speed controller autotuning set param-
eter Contr Service (7.02)=Sp Autotun and start the
drive by using LOC and (I) button at the operating
panel DCS400PAN or ON and RUN command at the
terminals.

Drive accelerates to overspeed
With default parameter values (defaults: KP=0.200 /
TI=5000.0 ms) and slow ramps it may happen, that
the drive accelerates to overspeed limit bypassing
maximum speed . This is a result of the extremely high
integration time constant. In this case P- and I- values
have to be corrected via selftuning or manual actions.
If parameters are set manually, you should start with
values given below:
Speed Reg KP (5.07) = 1.000
Speed Reg TI (5.08) = 100.0 ms
Check reaction at low speed and if needed continue
adapting values.
n
Oscillating speed
P-value too high and / or I-value too low.
Set:
Speed Reg KP (5.07) = 50%
Speed Reg TI (5.08) = 200%
of actual values.
Check reaction at low speed and if needed continue
adapting values.
n
Change of speed feedback
If speed feedback is changed from Encoder to Ana-
log Tacho or to EMF control the speed controller
response may be possibly too fast. P- and I-values
have to be adapted. In case of manual adaption set:
Speed Reg KP (5.07) = appr. 50%
Speed Reg TI (5.08) = appr. 200 …400%
of actual values.
Check reaction at low speed and if needed continue
adapting values.
n
Motor does not meet set speed
• Not enough torque available:
Too low field current (1.03).
Too low armature current (1.01).
Check motor data and parameters.
• Speed control too weak:
Check Speed Reg KP (5.07) and Speed Reg TI
(5.08).
• Speed limits not set accordingly:
Base Speed (1.05), Max Speed (1.06), Speed
Lim Fwd (5.31), Speed Lim Rev (5.32).
• Tacho not adjusted (R115).
• Encoder Inc (5.03) not correct.
