34. MOTOR CONFIGURATION MENU
34.1. Overview
The Sinus Penta allows configuring three different types of motors and three different types of control algorithms at the
same time.
The three types of control algorithms are identified with the acronyms
IFD (Voltage/Frequency Control);
VTC (Vector Torque Control);
FOC (Field Oriented Control).
The Voltage/Frequency control allows controlling the motor by producing voltage depending on frequency.
The Vector Torque Control (sensorless) processes the machine equations depending on the equivalent parameters
of the asynchronous machine. It also allows separating torque control from flux control with no need to use a transducer.
The Field Oriented Control is a closed-chain control requiring a speed transducer to detect the position of the motor
shaft instant by instant.
The parameter set for the selected motor is included in the Motor Control menu:
Motor Control 1 Menu concerns motor 1;
Motor Control 2 Menu concerns motor 2;
Motor Control 3 Menu concerns motor 3.
Factory setting allows configuring only one motor. To access the Configuration menus of the other connected motors,
simply enter the number of the selected motor in C009 (Number of Configured Motors) in the Motor Control 1 Menu.
To select the connected motor, use digital inputs programmed with parameters C173 and C174, Digital Input for Motor 2
Activation and Digital Input for Motor 3 Activation respectively (see also the DIGITAL INPUTS MENU).
The parameters included in the Motor Control Menus are detailed in the table below.
