4-12 Operating the Converter
590 Series DC Digital Converter
Starting and Stopping Methods
Stopping Methods
Note:
• If the Converter is “non-regenerative” (2-quad - 591, 599) it effectively coasts to a stop once
the current demand reverses.
• If the Converter is “regenerative” (4-quad - 590, 598) then it can stop faster because it uses
energy from the load, i.e. reverse current is allowed to flow.
Normal Stop and Program Stop are only relevant for a “regenerative” controller.
The parameters STOP TIME and PROG STOP TIME have associated timers which initiate a
Coast Stop after the timed period.
The Coast Stop has direct control of the Run relay with no intervening
electronics.
All associated parameters can be found in the STOP RATES menu.
