MOTOR SETUP/INDUCTION MOTOR (ACIM) — CHARACTERIZATION TESTS MENU
PARAMETER ALLOWABLE RANGE DEFAULT DESCRIPTION
Test Enable
IM_AutoChar_Test_Enable
0x324F 0x00
Off/On
0 – 1
Off Enables ACIM (induction motor) characterization with quadrature
encoder to begin.
Notice: Only assert (change to = On) when the test is ready
to begin.
Test Throttle
IM_Test_Throttle
0x3241 0x00
–1 – 1
–1 – 1
0 Begins characterization if Test Enable is asserted.
IMPORTANT: If the motor starts to turn in the positive (forward)
vehicle speed direction, set the Test Throttle to 1. If it turns in the
negative (reverse) direction, set the Test Throttle to -1.
Motor Poles
IM_Motor_Poles
0x4F5D 0x00
2 – 8
1 – 4
4
[PCF]
The number of motor pole pairs.
This parameter selects the number of poles before beginning the
ACIM motor characterization procedure.
See Chapter 6 for the complete description of the ACIM motor
characterization procedure, which shows how to use this parameter.
Changing this parameter always results in a Parameter Change
Fault (fault code 49). Clear it by cycling the keyswitch (KSI cycle).
The PCF protects the controller and the operator.
Max Test Speed
IM_AutoChar_Max_Test_Speed
0x324B 0x00
500 – 24000 rpm
500 – 24000
2000 rpm This parameter sets the maximum motor speed allowed during
ACIM motor characterization.
Max Test Current
IM_AutoChar_Max_Test_
Current
0x3245 0x00
10 – 100 %
3277 – 32767
70 % This parameter sets the maximum motor current allowed during
ACIM motor characterization.
SlipGain
IM_MotorData
0x364A 0x00
0.10 – 1000.00
0.0001 – 1
3.20 Adjust this parameter during ACIM motor characterization to
tune the motor so it delivers the maximum torque per amp.
See the autocharacterization test description of the ACIM
Motor Characterization procedure for information on how to
use this parameter.
Current Reg Tuning Test
Enable
IM_CR_Tuning_Test_Enable
0x3259 0x00
Off/On
0 – 1
Off This parameter only performs the current-regulator tuning portion
of the autocharacterization test.
0 = Off
1 = On
This parameter is typically applicable for previously auto-
characterized (Type 0) induction motors. It performs only the
current-regulation tuning portion of the motor characterization on
existing Type 0 motors.
To begin, clear any existing faults, then set Interlock = On and
this parameter = 1. Similarly to the auto-characterization routine
steps in Chapter 6, then set Test Enable = 1 followed by setting
Test Throttle = 1. The controller will run the tuning test and issue
a Parameter Change Fault when nished.
If a new (or existing Type 0) motor is auto-characterized following
the steps in Chapter 6, do not use this parameter, as it is
automatically included in the full auto-characterization routine.
Consult your Curtis distributor or support engineer for further
assistance based on your motor and its application.
