Figure 44 - Torque Proving Flow Diagram
(1) For torque proving to function properly, wire a mechanical brake to a
relay output on a digital I/O option module. On the I/O module, set
nn:10 [RO0 Sel] to 9:52 [Trq Prove Status] Bit 4 ‘Brake Set’ and set nn:6
[Dig Out Invert] Bit 0 ‘Relay Out 0’ = 1.
Brake Slip Test
If an encoder is being used, by default, the drive does a brake slip test on every
stop. The brake slip test is outlined in the following steps.
1. A stop command is initiated
2. The drive ramps to zero speed. A snap shot (one time recording) of the
command torque 10/11:2087 [Trq Ref Limited] is taken.
3. The drive runs at zero speed for the time that is defined in 9:72
[ZeroSpdFloatTime].
4. The drive engages the brake.
5. The drive continues to command the snap shot torque that is found in
Step 2 for the time that is allotted in 9:61 [Brk Set Time].
6. The PowerFlex 755T drive begins to slew (lower) the torque down.
Parameters 10/11:2083 [Torque Limit Pos] and 9:53 [Trq Limit Slew
Rate] define the rate at which the torque is lowered. The starting point of
the ramp is the commanded torque that is found in Step 2 plus 20%
torque. The drive continues to command the torque that is defined in Step
2 until the ramp goes below this torque.
IMPORTANT Brake Slip detection and Float capability (ability to hold load at zero speed) are
no available in encoderless TorqProve.
