102 Speed Regulation
Figure 18 Rotor Speed with/without Slip Compensation
Internally, the drive converts the rated slip in RPM to rated slip in frequency. To
more accurately determine the rated slip frequency in hertz, an estimate of flux
current is necessary. This parameter is either a default value based on motor
nameplate data or the auto tune value. The drive scales the amount of slip
compensation to the motor rated current. The amount of slip frequency added to the
frequency command is then scaled by the sensed torque current (indirect
measurement of the load) and displayed.
Slip compensation also affects the dynamic speed accuracy (ability to maintain
speed during “shock” loading) as illustrated in Figure 19
. Initially, the motor is
operating at some speed and no load. At some time later, an impact load is applied
and the rotor speed decreases as a function of load and inertia. And finally, the
impact load is removed and the rotor speed increases momentarily until the slip
compensation is reduced based on the applied load.
The responsiveness to an impact load can be adjusted through [Slip Comp Gain];
however too large of a gain can cause unstable operation and overshoot.
