Slack Cable Detection
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 offers Slack Cable Detection in the hoist application. The Slack Cable
condition is detected when the torque output is drastically reduced and has dipped below a set-point
(C11-03) level. When Slack Cable condition occurs, the output action is defined by the C11-02
which has 6 selections.
The Slack Cable Detection is not executed, unless both of the following conditions are true:
• The output frequency is between C11-04 and C11-06.
• The Slack Cable Detection delay time is between C11-05 and C11-07.
Setup Procedure:
• To set the Slack Cable Detection torque level (C11-03), by lowering the hoist without
load at a constant speed that the hoist would normally run during the operation.
Monitor and record the torque reference (U1-09). Repeat above operation several
times to ensure an accurate reading.
• Then Set C11-03 = [(U1-09)-2].
• Enable Slack Cable Detection by setting the C11-01 to 1.
• Select output action when Slack Cable is detected by defining C11-02.
