5. Enter the desired Max Test Current for the commissioning 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.

6. Using the 1313/1314, clear Fault History (Faults » Clear Fault History).
7. Turn on (enable) Interlock (Monitor » Inputs » Interlock).
8. Enable the PMAC Commissioning by setting Test Enable = 1.
Motor » 1-PMAC » Commissioning Tests » Test Enable
9. If any faults are present, except PMAC Commissioning Needed, stop and resolve the issue before
continuing.
10. Set Test rottle = +1.
Motor » 1-PMAC » Commissioning Tests » Test Throttle
WARNING ‑ Motor will start to rotate in step 11 and faster in step 12.
11. e controller will start to inject test pulses. Aer a few minutes (when pulsing stops), the motor
will begin to rotate very slowly. It is critical to verify the motor is turning in the FORWARD
vehicle direction. If it is not, set Test rottle = 0, wait for the motor to come to a stop, then set
Test rottle = –1. e motor will start again in the same direction. e controller will properly
set the direction at the end of commissioning process. (Note: is is a dierent operation than
that in the ACIM characterization procedure, which does turn the motor in the other direction
when Test rottle is set negative).
12. Aer about a minute, the motor will spin up to a moderate speed, then to high speed (limited
by Max Test Speed) in each direction.
13. When the automated test is complete, the controller will have a Parameter Change Fault. is is
normal. Check whether other faults are present. If there is a Characterization Error fault, read
the number at Monitor » Controller » Motor Characterization Error and reference the following
table. An error during the PMAC commissioning test indicates the motor commissioning data
is invalid; contact the Curtis distributor or support engineer for assistance if the indicated error
cannot be resolved.
