FUNCTION CODES
Chap 5
Line speed control
In a winder system (e.g., roving frames, wiredrawing machines), if the inverter continues to run the motor at a
constant speed, the take-up roll gets bigger with materials (roving, wire, etc.) and its radius increases so that the
winding speed of the take-up roll increases.
To keep the line speed (winding speed) constant, the inverter detects the winding speed using a speed sensor
(encoder) and controls the motor rotation according to the encoder feedback.
Machinery configuration of winder system and function code settings
Shown below is a machinery configuration of a winder system for which it is necessary to configure the function
codes as listed below.
Inverter
Encoder
I/F card
U, V, W
R, S, T
Reduction ratio a:b
(When the motor shaft
rotates “b” times, the take-
up roll shaft rotates “a”
times.)
Speed v
in winding direction
Drum
Winder
(The radius of the take-up roll increases
as the roll rotates.)

Reduction ratio c: d
(When the speed detector shaft
rotates “d” times, the encoder
shaft rotates “c” times.)
