SECTION 7 – PROGRAMMING
7.1 Menu A: Control Setup
1. CONTROL TYPE
• Speed (default)
o Uses the AC Tachometer Feedback for speed feedback and control.
• Torque
o Clutch coil voltage is regulated. This is frequently used for take-up or spooler
applications where torque is proportional to tension and speed varies with
the diameter of the roll.
• Spd/Trq
o The control type is selected via the terminal block input or the
“Speed/Torque” keypad button.
2. CONTRLR CURRENT
Select the output range of the controller. Choose the closest value to the coil rating for scaling
purposes.
• 5.5 Amps
• 8 Amps
3. CLUT COIL RATING
Locate the clutch coil rating on the nameplate of the mechanical unit and enter it. The value
should be equal or less than the previous parameter (2. Controller Current).
4. CLUTCH CURNT LIM
Enter the coil current limit, which is equal to or less than the clutch coil rating. Note, limiting
the coil current to less than its rated value will reduce the amount of torque.
5. TACH PULSES/REV
Set the speed feedback frequency for the AC tachometer generator based on what
mechanical unit you have. See the table, below. For finer tuning, see Menu A, Parameter 20.
