6b — SPM PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR CHARACTERIZATION
AUTOMATED SPM MOTOR
CHARACTERIZATION PROCEDURE
Warning: Motor will rotate during this procedure.
This procedure is only for applications using an
SPM motor and sin/cos sensor.
is procedure is performed in one stage and takes approximately 5–10 minutes.
It can only be used on a sinusoidal wound SPM motor with sin/cos absolute
position sensor (e.g, RLS RM22, SKF BX-BMB-7050, etc.) set up with one
sensor revolution per mechanical revolution.
It is assumed that Initial Setup steps
1
through
bl
have been completed
and that the motor is approximately room temperature (30°C); do not charac-
terize a hot motor without a temperature sensor.
If characterizing a traction system, the vehicle should have its drive wheels
clearly o ground, and the vehicle should be safely blocked from accidental
movement. e drive wheels should be freely spinning—any dragging brake
or excessive friction may invalidate this test, or cause it to fail.
If characterizing a hydraulic system, the motor must be unbolted from
the hydraulic pump and allowed to spin freely. e test will not work properly
if the motor is left connected to the pump. Note: e motor will spin to Max
Test Speed in both directions.

. Verify that Motor Technology = 1-SPM and Feedback Type = 2-sin/cos sensor.
is conguration, and these settings, are required to run this procedure.

2. Enter the maximum speed the motor is intended to turn as the Max Test
Speed for the characterization test. Note this speed might not be achieved,
depending on system characteristics; this is normal. A typical setting is 5000
rpm, but clearly the Max Test Speed should not be set to a higher speed
than safe for the mechanical conguration.

3. Enter the desired Max Test Current for the characterization test. A typical
setting is 20% (note this is 20% of the maximum controller rating). Generally
this is only reduced if motor heating during the test is a problem. Generally
this is only increased if the motor fails to rotate during commissioning.

4. Using the 1313, clear Fault History (Faults  Clear Fault History).
5. Ensure that Interlock is enabled (Monitor  Inputs  Interlock).
6. Set Test Enable = 1.
