COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
PMAC CONSIDERATIONS
All existing 1239E models and the 1269E support PMAC operation with OS 37.0, but the OEM must
insure that KSI power is active any time the motor is moving. Removal of KSI power when the motor
is spinning past the base speed may result in immediate controller damage.
Use this Chapter when commissioning a PMAC application after first completing the initial
setup steps.
e PMAC motor will rotate during this procedure. Do not take the vehicle down o the blocks.
is procedure is only for applications using a PMAC motor and Sin/Cos sensor.
Preform this procedure is in one stage. It takes approximately 5–10 minutes. It can only be used on a
sinusoidal wound PMAC motor with a Sin/Cos absolute position sensor (e.g, RLS RM22, SKF BX-
BMB-7050, etc.) set up with one sensor revolution per mechanical revolution.
is procedure’s assumption is that Initial Setup steps 1 through 9 have been completed and that the
motor is approximately room temperature (20–25°C); do not characterize a hot motor without a
temperature sensor.
If commissioning 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 commissioning 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 le connected to the pump.
Note: e motor may spin to Max Test Speed in both directions.
If using the 1314, enable Include monitor values for logging:
Options » Settings » Include monitor values
1. Verify that Motor Technology = 1-PMAC and Feedback Type = 2-Sin/Cos sensor. This
conguration, and these settings, are required to run this procedure.

Motor » Feedback Options » Feedback Type » 2-Sin/Cos
2. Enter the maximum speed the motor is intended to turn in the application as Typical Max Speed.
Motor » 1-PMAC » Commissioning Tests » Typical Max Speed
3. Enter the maximum speed the motor is intended to turn as the Max Test Speed for the
commissioning 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.

4. Enter the correct PMAC Motor Type before beginning commissioning test. Contact Curtis if
there is a question as to the application’s motor type.
