6.3.0 Amplifier commissioning and adjustment
6.3.1 Communication via serial link
Connect the serial link RS 232 between the PC and the amplifier.
ENABLE input must be open and the analog input command CV open or shorted.
Turn amplifier on and start the BPCW software in the WINDOWS
®
environment of the PC by clicking
twice on BPCW (see chapter 8.5.0 for loading BPCW software).
If the message Drive is not on line appears on the screen, click on OK and check following points:
• the amplifier is on (green LED ON must be lit),
• the amplifier and the PC are correctly connected via the RS-232 link,
• the software configuration (Com. port and Baud rate) in the Communication menu via Setup menu is
correct.
Leave the Communication menu window by means of the Save configuration button.
6.3.2 Amplifier adjustment
• Select the appropriate motor type in the MOTOR LIST. If the motor used is not in the MOTOR
LIST module, see paragraph 6.3.4.
• Select the amplifier type in the Drive list and the fan type in the module CURRENT.
• Select the amplifier current limitation mode (I
2
t mode) in the menu CURRENT. The Fusing mode
should be selected for commissioning procedures.
• Check that the value of the Maximum current and Rated current parameters of the CURRENT
module are compatible with the motor and the amplifier. Otherwise, modify them according to the
appropriate motor and amplifier specifications.
• Check that the value of the Max. speed and Accel. Time parameters of the ANALOG INPUT
module are compatible with the motor and the application. Otherwise, modify them according to the
appropriate motor and application specifications.
• Select the speed regulator type P, PI or PI
2
in the CONTROLLER module. In the case of an axis
with an unbalanced load (constant torque due to a vertical load), see paragraph 6.3.5.
• Select the Software control function accessible in the Setup menu of the BPCW software version 2.x
and switch on STOP position in the RUN module.
• In case of loud noise in the motor at standstill and when running, check the rigidity of the
transmission between motor and load (backlashes and elasticities in gears and couplings).
If necessary, redue the AUTO-TUNING procedure by selecting a lower bandwidth (Bandwidth =
Medium or Low). If the problem remains, redue the AUTO-TUNING procedure by activating the
antiresonance filter (Filter = Antiresonance). The antiresonance filter is accessible from the BPCW
version 2.6 and amplifier EPROM version 5.7.
• Before doing the Autotuning command of the CONTROLLER module, check that the motor shaft is
free (min one revolution) and that is not dangerous for the operator and the machine.
