Welcome!
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 represents the second generation of our high-performance flux vector
crane controls. It goes far beyond the scalar (voltage and frequency control) drive designs by having
true torque-control capabilities. The IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2, which is designed for a closed-loop
system, is ideal for hoists without mechanical load brakes and for very high-performance traverse
applications.

Incorporating a pulse-width-modulated (PWM), flux vector design, IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2

generates the optimum current waveform, which gives you impressive torque and speed motor
control. The drive offers a 1000:1 speed range — compared to a 3:1 range for two-speed motors and
a 10:1 range for wound-rotor motors.

Here’s a sample of IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2’s special features and how they can help you improve
your overhead material handling performance:
• Distinct speed control (up to nine speeds) as well as infinitely variable speed control are
provided; you can use pendant pushbutton stations, infrared or radio controls, or joysticks.
• An English, plain-language liquid crystal display (2 lines, 16 characters per line) makes
programming, troubleshooting, and operating the drive easy.
• Built-in Serial Communication (9600-baud modbus) provides reliable digital linkage among the
various crane system peripherals, including our line of PulseStar™ Remote Crane Controls.
• Micro-Positioning Control™ is used to place loads with a high degree of precision, eliminating
the need to jog or plug your motors.
• A compact circuit design gives the drive a small footprint.
• Ultra-Lift™ capabilities enhance productivity by allowing the overspeeding of any load less than
full load.
• Safe Operating Windows™ prevents you from programming the drive with unsafe parameters.
• Automatic Keypad Lockout™ and a snap-in, removable keypad helps you limit programming
access and reduce the possibility of programming errors.
• Load Check™ prevents you from overstressing equipment by attempting to lift a load beyond
the capacity of the crane or hoist.
• Weight Measurement enables you to weigh a load with an accuracy of ±5 percent of full load.
• Phase Loss Detection causes the drive to fault and commands the electric brake to set if an input
or output phase loss occurs.
• Quick Stop™ ensures a rapid deceleration to stop once a drive RUN command is removed,
reducing the possibility of a crane collision.
• Reverse Plug Simulation™ allows you to change the direction of travel (motor’s phase
sequence) very rapidly before the electric brake can be set.
• Flash ROM stores the drive system’s last four fault occurrences in the drive’s memory—even
after power-down—for diagnostic purposes.

 • Slack Cable Detection identifies slack cable conditions and adjusts outputs to immediately stop
lowering.
• Load Float Start & Stop, with the crane fully at rest (without electric brakes set), allows the
precise placement of critical loads without rollback or delays because of electric brake operation.
• Motor Changeover Capability allows you to use one inverter for two motors (e.g., main and
auxiliary hoists) with different motor characteristics.
• A 120V Control Voltage Interface Card gives you direct access to a 120V user input device (e.g.,
pendant) without adding electromechanical components.
• Elapsed Time Counter (with fault history) indicates actual operation time, total power-up time,
and the elapsed time between fault occurrences.

Identifying Your Drive

If you ever have to contact Electromotive Systems about your drive, first determine the model and
serial numbers of your drive by looking at the nameplate shown below.

Introduction

 WARNING

• Do not touch any circuitry components while the main AC power is on. In addition, you
must wait until the red “CHARGE” LED is out before performing any service on that unit.
(As you look at the face of the circuitry, the “CHARGE” LED is located in the lower right
corner of the board.) It may take as long as 10 minutes for the charge on the main DC bus
capacitors to drop to a safe level.
• Do not check signals during operation.
• Do not connect the main output terminals (T1, T2, T3) to the incoming, three-phase AC
source.
• Do not connect the control board terminals, which are the 27 two-tiered terminals,
directly to the 120VAC user input device.
• Before executing Built-In Auto-Tuning, ensure that the motor is disconnected from the drive
train and the electric brake is released. If the electric brake cannot be released, you must
ensure that the brake is disengaged for the entire tuning process.

The instructions in the next three chapters apply to most IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 crane, hoist, and
monorail applications. However, you need to carefully evaluate your specific situation and ensure
that you follow NEC codes and your local wiring practices.

These chapters tell you how to install IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 and, to some extent, the components
that it interconnects. It explains how to: assess the drive’s environment, mount the drive, and wire
the drive circuits. It’s important to develop a “plan of attack” for both the mounting and wiring since
each task has an effect on the other one. To assist you, “IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 Wiring Practices”
is included.
NOTE: If your IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 is part of an Electromotive Systems, pre-engineered
TCONTROLS® motor control panel, disregard this chapter and turn to Chapter 4.

Introduction
Assessing the System Requirements
You must know how you’re going to use the drive before you start installation and wiring. You will
need to know your requirements for the following components:
• Speed control method(s)
• Braking method(s)
• Power source voltage, number of phases, and kVA rating
• Power source location
• Wire size
• Grounding location and method

Assessing the Drive Environment

When you choose a location for IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that a 220V or 230V (-15% to +10%) three-phase power source is available for a 230V-
rated drive, and that a 380V, 400V, 415V, 440V, or 460V (-15% to +10%) three-phase power
source is available for a 460V-rated drive, and that a 500V, 575V, 600V (-15% to +10%) power
source is available for a 575V Drive.
2. Ensure the encoder is supplied with +12VDC.
3. If the amperage requirement is greater than 200 mA, provide an auxiliary power supply to the
encoder .
4. Ensure that the drive-to-motor wiring distance is less than 250 ft. unless appropriate reactors
and/or filters are used.
5. If required, install reactors.
When connecting a drive (230V/460V/575V, Model 2033-FVG+/4034-FVG+/FVG+5032V and
smaller) to a large-capacity power supply transformer (500kVA or greater or more than 10 times
the inverter kVA rating), or when switching a phase-advancing capacitor, excessive peak current
can flow through the input power supply circuit. To prevent damage to the rectifier section in
such cases, install a DC reactor between drive Terminals 1 and 2, or an AC reactor on the input
side. Installing reactors also improves the power factor on the power supply side.
6. Ensure that the encoder wiring is less than 300 feet, unless fiber optic cables are used.
7. Ensure that the encoder wiring is isolated from the power wiring.
8. Ensure that the encoder wiring shield is grounded at only one end (PG-X2 TA3).
9. Ensure that the drive circuit wiring is protected or isolated from:
• Ambient temperatures outside the range of +14° F to +113° F (-10° C to +45° C). (Consult
Electromotive Systems if you must exceed this temperature range.)
• Rain or moisture
• Corrosive gases or liquids
• Direct sunlight
• Severe mechanical vibration
10. Ensure that the drive is housed in an appropriate NEMA-rated enclosure.

11. For severe-duty applications (for example—long lifts) or with 75-Hp-or-greater motors, ensure
that the drive control system is adequately cooled, even though the ambient temperature limit is
not exceeded. For more information, contact Electromotive Systems.

CDBM & CDBR Units
The CDBM and CDBR are designed to pass regenerative energy from an inverter’s DC bus to a
resistor bank. The CDBM/CDBR operate when the voltage on the DC bus reaches a specific level
which turns on an internal transistor. This transistor stays on until the DC bus voltage drops to an
appropriate level. The difference between the turn on and the turn off voltage is the hysteresis
voltage.

The CDBM/CDBR, and its associated dynamic braking resistor, are used to help the inverter
decelerate AC motors (dynamic braking) and to provide a path for motor regenerative energy under
over hauling conditions, such as on a hoist.

Minimum Resistor Ohmic Values

The following chart should be used to determine minimum ohmic values for dynamic braking
resistors for different supply voltages.

120 VAC is not needed for the control circuit to operate. If 120 VAC is applied to
terminals 1, 2, 5 or 6, DAMAGE TO THE UNIT WILL RESULT.

NOTE: • Some Braking units have only a symbol labeling the terminal.
• Most resistors do not have P 0 (r0 ) and B ( s0 ) designators.
• Polarity does not matter on the resistor.

1. Wire N (s ) on the CDBR/CDBM to N (s) on the drive.

2. Wire P (r) on the CDBR/CDBM to P( r) on the drive.

3. Wire the P0 (r 0 ) on the CDBR/CDBM to the dynamic braking resistor.

4. Wire B ( s0 ) on the CDBR/CDBM to the dynamic braking resistor.

5. CDBR model #4220 has an internal fan. It requires terminals r and s to be wired to one phase of
the 460V line voltage in order to power the fan.
6. Terminals 3 and 4 are the Cooling Fin Overheat Contact.
Thermoswitch contact rating: 250VAC, 1A max
30VDC, 1A max
7. Terminals 1, 2 , 5 and 6 are used for MASTER/SLAVE Operation. Use twisted-pair wires of 14
AWG or smaller for connection between 5, 6, and 1, 2 on the braking units. Parallel connection
is possible up to a maximum of 10 units. Refer to Figure 1-4 (page 1-14) for parallel connection

AC Reactor Specifications
Reactors, both as input (line) and output (load) devices, protect adjustable frequency drives, motors,
and other load devices against excessive voltage and current.

The following guidelines may help determine input and output reactor requirements:
• Install an input reactor if the power source is greater than
500kVA.
• Install an output reactor if the distance between the drive and the motor exceeds 150 feet.
• Install an output reactor if a device, such as a power limit switch, is used to disconnect the motor
from the drive.
• Install one output reactor per drive for a multiple-drive arrangement requiring reactor protection.
• For a multiple drive arrangement, an input reactor for each drive is recommended for optimal
protection. However, if the drives are within two drive sizes of each other, a single input reactor
can be used. The reactor must be rated at an amperage equal to or greater than the sum of the
amperage for all the drives.

Interface Cards Specifications
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 is designed to interface directly with 120VAC user input and output
devices via G5IF, G5IN4, and G5OUT. This eliminates the need for an additional interface relay or
isolation circuitry.

G5IF has eight optically isolated drive terminals which can be used to connect with the user input
device. The Terminal 1 and 2 are always used for the directional run commands (Forward and
Reverse, Up and Down). The rest of six terminals are multi-function terminals, and are used for
speed control and other characteristics. With multi-function terminals you can assign various
functions and performance characteristics without having to rewire the drive.

G5OUT has two 240VAC, 1.5 Amp solid state relays for output indication devices. It includes two
programmable multi-function output terminals.

G5IN4 card has four additional input terminals, which can have a total of 14 sets of input selections.
The individual terminals can be enabled/disabled within a set. For program information refer to
Chapter 5, Programming Advanced Features.

 Long Time Storage
When an inverter stored for six months or more without operation, reforming of the main circuit
electrolytic capacitor is required.
NOTE: If the procedure is not feasable, the drive may be powered up every six months using rated
line voltage.

Execute the reforming as follows:

1. Connect a single or three phase variable AC supply to the inverter input terminals L1-L3.
2. Increase the voltage linearly to the rated input voltage for a period of three minutes.
3. Apply rated input voltage for 30-60 minutes or longer.

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 Wiring Practices

WARNING

Before you wire the drive, review the following practices to help ensure that your system is
wired properly.

• Do not connect the main output terminals (T1, T2, and T3) to the incoming, three-phase AC
source. This will damage the unit!
• Except for Terminals 18, 19, and 20, do not connect the control board terminals directly to the
120VAC user input device. This will damage the unit!
• Ensure that the drive-to-motor wiring distance is less than 150 ft unless appropriate reactors and/
or filters are used.
• If a device that can interrupt power is installed between the drive and the motor, install a reactor
on the output side of the drive.
• On external user input devices, use hard contact inputs rather than solid-state inputs.
• If the power source is 500 kVA or greater, or more than 10 times the inverter kVA rating, ensure
that there is at least 3 percent impedance between the power source and the drive input. To
accomplish this, you can install a DC reactor between inverter terminals ⊕1 and ⊕2, or use an
AC line reactor on the input of the drive. If you don’t provide enough impedance, excessive
peak currents could damage the input power supply circuit.
• If the user input device is a PLC TRIAC output, use a 5-K Ω, 10-W resistor between the signal
and L2 (X2).
• Comply with “Suggested Circuit Protection Specifications” on page 3-6.
• Use time delay fuses, which are sized at 150% of drive's continuous-rated current, for drive input
protection.
• Use appropriate R-C or MOV type surge absorbers across the coil of all contactors and relays in
the system. Failure to do so could result in noise-related, nuisance fault incidents.
• Use external dynamic braking resistors for all applications.
• Do not ground the drive with any large-current machines.
• Before you use any welding or high-current machines near the crane, disconnect all line and
ground wiring.
• Do not use output contactors between the drive and the motor.
• Do not let the wiring leads come in contact with the drive enclosure.
• Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the drive input or output.
• Hard-wire the drive and motor (e.g., festoon cable). Do not use sliding collector bars.
• If you have a user input device or interface board that is remote, use shielded cable between the
drive input terminals and the interface output terminals or user input device(s).
• Before turning on the drive, check the output circuit (T1, T2 and T3) for possible short circuits
and ground faults.

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (14908-14911) Instruction Manual – 6/23/00

3-3
 • Increase the wire size by one size for every 250 ft between the drive and motor; suggested for
center driven cranes, trolleys and bridges. (Voltage drop is especially significant at low
frequencies.)
• When using more than one transformer for the drive's power, properly phase each transformer.
• To reverse the direction of rotation, interchange any two motor leads (T1, T2 or T3). (Changing
L1, L2 or L3 will not affect the shaft rotation direction.)
• Use shielded cable for all low-level DC speed reference signals (0 to10VDC, 4 to 20 mA).
Ground the shield only at the drive side.
• Please observe National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines when wiring electrical devices.

Failure to observe these warnings may result in equipment damage.

Suggested Circuit Protection Specifications and Wire Size
In order to comply with most safety standards, some circuit protective devices should be used
between the incoming three-phase power supply and the IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2. These devices
can be thermal, magnetic, or molded-case breakers (MCCB); or “slow-blow” type fuses such as
“CCMR” or “J.”

Wiring the Control Circuit
Control Input
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 is designed to interface directly with a 120VAC user input device. User
input devices include: pendant controls (pushbutton station), remote control transmitters (infrared
and radio), master switches, programmable logic controls (PLC), and personal computers. This
design feature eliminates the need for interface relays or isolation circuitry. The user interface
device is connected to the G5IF 120V Control Interface Card, which includes Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, and 8. Four more terminals can be added with the optional G5IN4 120V Control Input Card.
NOTE: Terminal X2 is also on both control input cards, and should always be connected to X2 of
the user input device.

For the G5IF, Terminals 1 and 2 are always used for the directional run commands (FORWARD,
REVERSE, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT). The other terminals are multi-function terminals, and are
used for speed control and other characteristics. With multi-function terminals you can assign
entirely different functions and performance characteristics without having to rewire the drive.

Additional Input Terminals

Four additional digital input terminals can be added with the optional G5IN4 120V input card. To
program the G5IN4 input card, please refer to Chapter 5; “Special Function Group, G5IN4 Digital
Multi-Function Inputs” Sections (C9-XX) on page 5-45.

Output Type Quadrature (A and B channels; Z is not necessary)
Type of output circuit High-speed, differential line drive
Resolution 1024 PPR
Mounting method Encoder must be direct-coupled to motor shaft, using a zero-backlash-type coupling.

To wire the encoder circuit for IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (assuming the cover and keypad are
detached):
1. Direct-couple the encoder to the motor shaft, using a zero-backlash-type coupling.
NOTE: Do not connect the encoder to the motor with roller chain or gear drive. If unable to
direct-couple the encoder, use a timing belt to drive the encoder. (Contact
Electromotive Systems for encoder kits.) Also, do not connect the encoder to the low-
speed shaft of a speed reducer.
2. Connect the encoder to the PG-X2 Encoder Interface Card. Refer to Figure 3-9: “Generic
Encoder” and Figure 3-10: “PG-X2 Interface Card Terminal Functions” on page 3-20.
NOTE: Use twisted-pair, shielded cable (Electromotive R-20/6, Belden 9730, or Brand Rex T-
11651). Strip the encoder wires .25 in. (5.5 mm). Keep the wiring length less than
300 feet. (For cable lengths greater than 300 feet, contact Electromotive Systems for
information on available fiber optic cable systems.)
3. Ground the shielded cable to Terminal TA-3 of the PG-X2 Encoder Interface Card. (Ground only
one end of the shielded cable.)
NOTE: For LakeShore encoders, the shield connection is not considered “Ground.” The
shield should be grounded at TA-3 and connected to the shield at the encoder.
4. Whenever possible, the encoder cable should be wired in a continuous run between the motor
and drive. If it cannot be a direct run, the splice should be in its own junction box and isolated
from the power wires.

Programming Basic Features

This page intentionally left blank.
Overview
With its easy-to-use keypad and X-Press Programming, IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 makes it easy to
get up and running right away. In addition to explaining the keypad and X-Press Programming, this
chapter explains how to view the scroll settings, get into the programming mode, and program
speeds.

Checks Before Powering

After mounting and interconnections are completed, verify:
• Correct connections.
• Correct input power supply. (No voltage drop or imbalance, source kVA ≤ 500, unless a line
reactor is used.)

WARNING

DO not power 230V-rated drives with 460V power.

• No short circuit conditions.

• No loose screw terminals. (Check especially for loose wire clippings.)
• Proper load conditions.

Precautions
• Only start the motor if motor shaft rotation is stopped.
• Even with small loading, never use a motor whose nameplate amperage exceeds the inverter
rated current.

DANGER

Braking method selection as shipped from Electromotive Systems is set for Decelerate to Stop
command. Extreme caution should be used. If deceleration time is too long, equipment could
run into endstop device, causing damage to equipment or injury to personnel.

Using the Keypad
With two 16-character lines available, the English keypad display makes it possible to view fault
codes and change parameter settings. Parameter settings, with their parameter codes, are displayed
in most cases. In addition, the parameter description is included on the top line of the display. The
keypad enables you to:
• Program the various drive parameters.
• Monitor the functions of the drive.
• Read alpha-numeric fault-diagnostic indications.
• Operate the drive using the keypad (local operation).

WARNING

Because of the additional potential hazards that are introduced when any drive is operated
locally, we advise you to avoid operating it this way. If you do operate the drive locally, be
aware that the crane or hoist will move when you press the RUN button. If you have questions,
contact Electromotive Systems.

Keypad LED and Button Functions
Some of the keypad buttons, whose functions are described below, are dual-purpose. The dual-
purpose keys have one function when used in a view-only mode, and another function when used in
a programming mode.
DRIVE
This LED lights only when the drive is in the Operation mode, which includes
when the drive is first powered up.

FWD
This LED lights when the FORWARD command is given.

REV
This LED lights when the REVERSE command is given.

REMOTE
• The SEQ LED lights when selecting the RUN command from the control
SEQ REF circuit terminals or serial communication.
• The REF LED lights when the Speed Reference is input through control
circuit terminals or serial communication.

• Pressing this key toggles between the mode set-up display and the phone
number for Electromotive Systems Service Department.
• Also toggles between REMOTE and LOCAL (Digital operator from
keypad) operation when 02-1 is set to 1.

MENU Displays to the Main Menu for mode selection.

ESC
Backs up to the previous display (before the DATA/ENTER key is depressed).

JOG
Jog run is enabled when local operation is selected.

Selects the next mode, parameter group, parameter function, parameter or

parameter setting. It also increases the blinking digit of a parameter setting.

Selects the previous mode, parameter group, parameter function, parameter or

parameter setting. It also decreases the blinking digit of a parameter setting.

Selects the digit—from left to right—to be changed (indicated by blinking). It

RESET
also resets the operation at faults.

Selects mode, group, function or parameter. Displays each parameter’s set

value. By pressing this key again, the set value is entered.

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (14908-14911) Instruction Manual – 6/23/00

4-5
 Selects forward or reverse run when LOCAL operation is selected.

• Pressing this key initiates run command when LOCAL operation is selected.
RUN

• The red LED lights steadily.

STOP
• Pressing this key initiates Base Block stop command.
• The red LED lights steadily when drive is at stop; blinks when Run command
is active but output frequency reference is zero, off when drive output is
controlling motor speed.

Parameters
There are hundreds of parameters that determine how the drive functions. These parameters are
programmed in the drive’s software as measurable values or options—both of which will be referred
to in this manual as settings. While some of these parameters are associated with one setting, others
are tied to a number of possible settings.
NOTE: The terms “constant” and “parameter” have the same meaning.

Before shipping the drive to you, we programmed initial settings in the drive’s software so that most,
if not all, of your crane system requirements are supported. However, if you do find it necessary to
change the initial settings, we recommend that you only allow qualified crane system technicians to
program the drive. This can be accomplished by using the Password Barrier and Access Level
features. For more information on these security features, see Initialization Set-up on page 4-9.

You also have the option of allowing personnel with limited crane system knowledge to program
only certain parameters— User Parameters—that you select. To select these parameters, see “User
Parameters (A2-XX)” on page 4-14.

Two other features to be aware of are Initialize Parameters (A1-05) and User Defaults (O2-03). Both
these features are related and allow you to revert back to parameter settings that you save. This is
especially helpful when you have made a number of programming changes, but want to get back to
the settings you had before you made any changes. To program these features, see “Initilize
Parameters (A1-05)” and “User Defaults (02-03)” on page 4-14.

 Initial Parameters (A1-05)
Use this parameter to reset the inverter to its factory default settings.

Setting Description
0 No Initialization (factory default)
1110 User Initialization - resets the inverter to user-specified initial values. To set
user-specified initial values, make all required changes to parameter settings,
then set 02-03 to “1”. The inverter will memorize all current settings as the
user-specified initial values. Up to 50 changed parameters can be stored.

Password Entry (A1-06)

This parameter will enable the user to set a password that will inhibit the programming of the A1-01
to A1-03 parameters. This function is useful when used in conjunction with the access level
parameter A1-01. To set the password, press the MENU and RESET buttons at the same time and
the display will change from A1-06 to A1-07. Program in a password number, then when A1-06 is
not the same as A1-07 parameter A1-01 to A1-03 cannot be changed. When A1-06 is the same as A1-
07, then A1-01 to A1-03 can be changed.

User Parameters (A2-01 through 30)

The user can select up to 30 parameters for quick-access programming. By setting the user access
level (A1-01) to “User Program,” only the parameters selected in function A2 can be accessed by the
user. To assign a parameter as a user parameter go to the A2 level in the initialize menu. Once the
A2 parameters are set and A1-01 is programmed to “User Program,” only the parameters visible in
the program menu will be assigned to an A2 parameter.

Auto-Tuning

CAUTION

The brake output is not energized during auto-tune. The brake must be manually released and
unreleased when Auto-Tuning is complete.

WARNING

Auto-tuning should only be performed on a motor that is not coupled to a gearbox.

The IMPULSE•VG+ can adapt to all motors manufactured worldwide with its automatic tuning
function. The inverter asks the user for minimal motor information, then guides the user through a
quick simple tuning process. Refer to the Structure of Parameters on page 4-7 and the table below
for the motor data required for automatic tuning.
NOTE: Contact Electromotive Systems service department if an auto-tune can not be performed.

After scrolling through the tuning parameters using the Up Arrow key, depress the RUN key to begin
auto-tuning. During tuning, “Tuning Proceeding” flashes on the digital operator display. When
complete, “Tune Successful”, is displayed. Depress the Menu key to exit auto-tuning mode. Please
refer to the “Fault Display and Corrective Actions at Auto-Tuning” section on page 6-18 if “Tune
Successful” is not displayed.
NOTE: If the STOP key is depressed during tuning, auto-tuning is interrrupted and the motor
coasts to a stop. The data changed during tuning returns to its original values.
NOTE: If an auto-tune is unsuccessful, temporarily change D12-30=1 and D10-01 to at least
5.0KHz.

Reference Limits
These parameters will limit the frequency range as a percentage of maximum output frequency (E1-
04). However, if the lower limit is below the zero speed level (D1-01), then operation will continue
according to B3-05.

An alternate upper limit frequency can be used during operation when a Multi-Function Input (MFI)
is set to 43 (Alt S-Ref UpLimit) and the MFI is on. Alternate Upper Limit Frequency = (B2-03)% x
(E1-04).

Ramp to Stop (B3-03=0)

Upon removal of the FWD or REV run command, the motor decelerates at a rate determined by the
time set in deceleration time 1 (B5-02) and DC injection braking is applied after the DC injection
start frequency D1-01 has been reached. If the deceleration time is set too short or the load inertia is
large, an overvoltage fault (OV) may occur during deceleration. In this case, increase the
deceleration time or install an optional braking transistor and/or braking resistor.

Braking torque: without braking resistor, approximately 20% of motor rated torque; with braking
option, approximately 150% of motor rated torque.

(This option is only available in traverse motion). Upon run command removal, the motor
decelerates to stop. The brake delays for a time interval (C12-02) before it is set. This option
reduces brake wear for applications that involve frequent stopping and starting.

 Trim Control Level
The trim control level is valid when the trim control increase command (setting: 34) or trim control
decrease command (setting: 35) is set for a multi-function input (H1-01 to H1-06).

If the trim control increase command is ON when a frequency reference is input on the analog input,
the trim control level will be added to the analog frequency reference and then that sum will be
output as the output frequency. If the trim control decrease command is ON, the frequency reference
will be decreased by the trim control level.

Phase Loss Detection
Input Phase Loss Detection is provided to protect the main power rectifiers and capacitors in the
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2. If any of the three-phase input lines are lost, the DC Bus capacitors and
rectifiers suffer approximately a 40% increase in current. This increase will cause a ripple on the DC
Bus voltage. If this ripple becomes too great, the drive automatically shuts down and displays a fault
code “PF”.

Phase Loss Detection compares the output current of each of the three phases to a preset level. If the
output current of any of the phases falls below the preset level, a “LF” fault will appear on the
display. The drive will immediately set the brake, thus retaining control of the load.

 Ultra-Lift
Ultra-Lift provides additional productivity by allowing a crane or hoist to quickly move into
position. The feature enables the motor to over speed when the load is less than 100 percent of the
rated capacity. Ultra-Lift determines the torque required for the load, calculates the maximum safe
speed, and automatically accelerates to this speed. However, the maximum speed cannot exceed the
lesser value of the Ultra-Lift Maximum Output Frequency-RAISE (C6-02), Ultra-Lift Maximum
Output Frequency-LOWER (C6-03), and Maximum Frequency (E1-04).

No-Load Brake Start/Stop

The No-Load Brake Hoist mode provides a special start/stop sequence designed specifically for No-
Load Brake Hoists. This mode is enabled automatically when the Motion is set to NLB Hoist (A1-
03=2). This will also automatically set the Stopping Method to No-Load Brake (B3-03 = 6).

The NLB Sequence is comprised of a series of Timers and Counters that monitor certain feedback
devices. The sequence is divided into two parts, NLB Start and NLB Stop.

The NLB Start Sequence begins by building up torque in the motor to a predefined level within the
C8-01 (Torque Compensation Time) timer. This level is determined by several factors which are
defined below. During the C8-01 time, the drive is monitoring current to motor. The internal
current feedback equation must be satisfied within the time set in C8-02 (IFB OK Time). If it is not,
a BE2 (No-Current) alarm will be displayed on the keypad and the drive will stop outputting voltage
to the motor. The brake will remain closed.

Factor 1: On the first run command after power up, or after any major fault which causes the NLB
Stop sequence to be skipped, the NLB Start sequence by default looks at the value programmed in
C8-16, the Initial Brake Release torque.

Factor 2: Once the system has completed a successful NLB Start and NLB Stop, a new value is used.
This value is one that has been memorized and stored into memory during the NLB Stop Sequence.
It is equivalent to the amount of torque required for the motor to hold the load that is on the hook in
Zero Servo (otherwise known as Load Float) with the brake released. Some benefits of memorized
Load Float torque for the next brake release are:
• Faster response to run commands when drive is in Base Block Status.
• Upon brake release, shaft rotation begins in the direction of the run command.

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (14908-14911) Instruction Manual – 6/23/00

5-32
If the memorized value is less than the programmed value in C8-03 (Minimum Brake Release
torque), then C8-03 is used as the next brake release value. If the feature must be disabled, C8-03
will overide C8-16 if it is a greater value than C8-16.

Once the brake has been commanded to release, the output remains in Zero Servo for the amount of
time programmed into C8-04. During C8-04, the drive waits for the brake to completely open and
watches encoder feedback. If the amount of feedback is less than the setting in C8-05 (Roll Back
Count), then the drive proceeds to the BE3 check. If it is not, a BE1 alarm is displayed on the
keypad and the sequence stops. For the BE3 check, if the brake opened mechanically, then the
encoder feedback must be greater than or equal to the value programmed in C8-07 (BE3 Detect
Count) within the time set in C8-06 (BE3/Alternate Torque Time). If it is not, then BE3 is displayed.
By the time the drive has completed the BE3 check, there should be a significant amount of motor
shaft movement and the NLB start sequence is complete.

The NLB Stop Sequence begins when the run command has been removed and the output frequency
has decelerated to zero. Once at zero speed, the motor maintains a Zero Servo position or more
commonly referred to as Load Float for the duration of C8-10 (Load Float Time). During the Load
Float time, run commands in either direction are accepted and will begin accelerating immediately in
the commanded direction thereby skipping the NLB Start Sequence entirely. The Load Float Timer
is reset after each new run command. Once the Load Float Timer expires, the brake output
command is removed (thereby closing the brake) and Zero Servo is maintained for the time set in
C8-11 (Brake Delay Time) to allow the brake to fully close. Once the Brake Delay Time has
expired, the BE6 check is executed. The BE6 check monitors encoder feedback and compares it to
C8-13 (BE6 Max count). The encoder feedback must not exceed the number of counts in C8-13
within the C8-12 (BE6 Detect Timer) time. If it does (meaning the load slipped through the brake),
a BE6 alarm is displayed on the keypad and the drive will reset its zero servo position and maintain
its new position. Run commands will still be accepted with the exception of a reduced speed in the
up direction set by C8-17 (BE6 Up speed) and the NLB stop sequence will begin again once the run
command had been removed.

NOTE: All of the above faults are annunciated by a digital output which is preprogramed by
Electromotive Systems to output to terminal 2 on the G5OUT card. A customer supplied
warning device should be connected to this output to notify operators of potentially hazardous
brake conditions. BE6 detection is disabled (C8-12=0) when the inverter leaves the factory.
Electromotive Systems does not recommend enabling BE6 detection without the use of an
audible or visual alarm to signal an operator of a hazardous condition. If BE6 detection is
desired, a warning device should be installed and wired to terminal 2 of the G5OUT card (see
Fig. 3-24 for wiring details). If the alarm activates upon removing the run command and the
stopping sequence is intitiated, DO NOT turn off power. This fault means the brake has failed
and the motor/drive combination is holding the load. In this situation, move the crane to a safe
location and remove the load from the hook. Corrective action should then be taken. See page
6-5.

WARNING

DO NOT turn off power to the drive during a BE6 fault. This may result in loss of control of the
load if the brake has failed in the open position or is unable to hold the load.

To enable BE6 detection, C8-12 must be greater than 0. C8-12=2.0 seconds is the recommended
BE6 detect time. For more information on BE6 detection, reference Fig. 5-30, No Load Brake BE6
timing diagram.

 PG Monitor Count
Parameter C8-19 is used to set the desired movement length in terms of motor shaft rotation. The
counts are encoder pulses converted to a number. One motor revolution = F1-01 (PG Pulse/Rev) *4
(quadrature). For example, if F1-01=1024, then 1024*4=4096=1 revolution. See Figure below.

length in terms of motor shaft

Figure 5-25: PG Monitor Count

For this function, 1 motor revolution would be undesirable so the range of the parameter setting has
been limited. The motor shaft will rotate forward for the C8-19 counts and then rotate back to its
start position and repeat for the duration of the Load Float Time (C8-10). The speed reference at
which the drive commands the motor shaft to move at is partly derived by the distance at which it
needs to travel. Increasing the distance, increases the frequency reference.

with the PG circuit.

Slack Cable Detection
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 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.

DC Injection
DC Injection can be used to stop a motor whose rotational direction is uncertain at start-up.

With ramp to stop enabled (B3-03=0), upon removal of the run command the IMPULSE•VG+
Series 2 drive controls motor deceleration according to the Decel Time setting, until output
frequency reaches the DC Injection Braking Start Frequency (D1-01 setting). Then the
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 drive output is turned off and DC injection current is applied to the motor.
The effective DC injection time and current should be set to provide adequate stopping without
excessive motor heating. The DC injection voltage is determined by the DC injection braking
current and motor impedance.

Automatic Slip Compensation
As the load becomes larger, the motor speed is reduced and the motor slip increases. The slip
compensation function keeps the motor speed constant under varying load conditions. D2-01 sets
the slip compensation gain. When the gain is “1.0”, the output frequency is increased by 1% of the
E1-06 setting at rated current. A setting of “0.0” results in no slip compensation. D2-02 and D2-03
affect this gain.

Parameters D4-01 and D4-02 provide adjustments to enable the optimum performance during load
disturbances. The proportional gain (D4-01) adjusts the amount of instantaneous droop as a function
of loss, and provides dampening from load disturbances such as speed reference change, or a change
in load. The integral time (D4-02) adjusts the response time of the IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 to the
load disturbances.
NOTE: Speed control response is increased by increasing the proportional gain setting and
decreasing the integral time. However, instability or hunting may occur between the
IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 and the load if D4-01 (ASR Proportional Gain) is set too high, or
D4-02 (ASR Integral Time) is set too low.

1. When the speed/torque control selection contact is OFF, speed control is activated.
• Speed reference during speed control depends on the frequency reference selection (B3-01)
setting. To use terminal 13, 14 or 16 as the master frequency reference, set B3-01 to “1.”
• Torque limit during speed control is the smaller of the absolute value of terminal 14 or 16
torque limit, or the values set in the torque limit parameters (C7-01 to C7-04) is used as the
torque limit.
• When a stop command is given during speed control, speed control is maintained as the
motor decelerates to stop and the smaller of the absolute value of the terminal 16 torque
limit, or the values set in the torque limit parameters (C7-01 to C7-04) is used as the torque
limit.
2. When the speed/torque control selection is ON, torque control is activated.
• Speed limit during torque control is the master frequency reference at terminal 13, 14 or 16
when speed limit selection (D5-03) is set to “1”, and is the speed limit value (D5-04) when

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (14908-14911) Instruction Manual – 6/23/00

5-60
 D5-03 = “2”, regardless of the frequency reference selection (B3-01) setting.
• During torque control, the terminal 14 or 16 analog input value becomes the torque
reference.
3. By giving a stop command during torque control, operation changes to speed control
automatically, and the motor decelerates to stop. The torque limit during deceleration to stop
becomes the values set in the torque limit parameters (C7-01 to C7-04).
NOTE: The control mode actually changes after the speed/torque control selection command
changes and the reference delay timer (D5-06) elapses. The speed reference/speed limit
and the torque limit/torque reference are stored in the inverter until the time set to D5-06
elapses.

Droop Control
The Drooping function reduces the motor speed based on the load torque of the motor. The actual
amount of motor speed reduction is based on the ratio of the amount of motor torque and maximum
output frequency (E1-04).

The Droop Delay Time D6-02 sets the response time for the drooping function. Decreasing the
Droop Delay Time will cause the response to become quicker, however, instability may occur.

Motor Set-up
E2 constants define motor parameters. Normally, the default settings for E2 constants are
determined by KVA selection (O2-04). In flux vector control the E2 constants will be set
automatically during auto-tuning. If the control method is V/F (A1-02=0), the motor rated current
should be entered into E2-01.

If auto-tuning cannot be performed, some E2 constants can be calculated using the motor’s
nameplate information.

Motor rated slip frequency (E2-02) can be calculated by using the following equation:

Motor terminal resistance E2-05 can be calculated by using the following equation:

 Motor 2 Method
The Motor 2 method function allows one drive to control two separate motors which are coupled to
separate motions. The output of the drive is switched from one motor to the other and a multi-
function input (H1-XX=3D Motor 2 Select) informs the drive of which motor is being used.

WARNING

Do not switch between motors when the drive’s output is on as it will damage the unit!

Digital Outputs—Fault Annunciate (H2-01~03=40)
Digital Outputs—Fault Annunciate enables you to assign a set of six fault outputs to Terminals 1 and/
or Terminal 2 on the G5out card. In addition, you can select whether each fault output is enabled.
NOTE: Terminal 9 can also be used for Digital Outputs—Fault Annunciate; however, it is
normally assigned to a brake output.

Before you start to program this feature, you may find it convenient to first photocopy the “Binary-
to-Hexadecimal Conversion Worksheet” in this section. By being able to write in the worksheet’s
boxes, you will find it easier to program the feature.

Programming Digital Outputs—Fault Annunciate requires that you determine two 4-digit binary
numbers and then convert these numbers to two 1-digit hexadecimal numbers. You enter the
hexadecimal numbers when you program the drive.

To program Digital Outputs—Fault Annunciate (assuming you are in Programming Mode):

 9. From the following worksheet, select one of three fault output sets. (Each row is a set.)
Enter the one-zero combination that corresponds to the set (row) that you selected.

For example, if you selected Set 2, you would enter “1 0” in the first two columns from the left,
which would represent the first two digits of the first binary number that you would convert later.

Table 5.10: Binary-to-Hexadecimal Conversion Worksheet

First digit from the left Second digit from the left

1 or 0 1 or 0 1 or 0 1 or 0 1 or 0 1 or 0 1 or 0 1 or 0

Set 1 1 1 BE7 BE5 BE4 BE0 OL2 OL1

Set 2 1 0 OS DEV LL1 LL2 UL1 UL2
Set 3 0 1 BE6 BE5 BE4 BE3 BE2 BE1

10. Determine which fault outputs should be enabled. To enable a fault output, enter 1 in the box
above the fault output; otherwise, enter 0. Do this for each fault output in the set.
For example, if Set 2 is selected and LL1 and UL1=1, “1 0 0 0” and “1 0 1 0 “ would be the
two 4-digit binary numbers.

11. Using the conversion table below, determine the 1-digit hexadecimal number for both
4-digit binary numbers.

External Fault Response Selection

It is sometimes desirable to have at least one external fault input to the drive. To properly program a
multi-function input (H1-01 to H1-06) for this purpose an external fault response must be selected.
The table below shows the possible selections for an external fault response.

• L8 Hardware Protection
• L9 Automatic Reset

Motor Overload
The IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 protects against motor overload with a UL-recognized, built-in
electronic thermal overload function.

The electronic thermal overload function estimates motor temperature, based on inverter output
current, frequency and time to protect the motor from overheating. When the thermal overload fault
is activated, an “OL1” trip occurs, shutting OFF the inverter output and preventing excessive
overheating in the motor. As long as the inverter is powered up, it continues to calculate the motor
temperature.

When operating with one inverter connected to one motor, an external thermal relay is not needed.
When operating several motors with one inverter, use the internal thermal protection from the motor
or install an external thermal overload relay on each motor. In this case, set parameter L1-01 to “0.”

braking resistor for the IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2, set parameter L3-04 to “0.” See the figure on next
page.

Table 5.13
Setting Description
0 Stall prevention during deceleration is disabled (factory default). An excessively
(Disabled) short deceleration time will generate an overvoltage fault (OV), and the inverter
will stop.
1 Stall prevention during deceleration is enabled.
(General Purpose) The DC bus voltage level is monitored, and the deceleration rate is automatically
extended to prevent an overvoltage condition. This deceleration rate may be
longer than the set value (B5-02).

Reference Detection
The IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 utilizes three different functions for detecting output frequency:
• When frequency agree is enabled using the multi-function contact outputs
(H2-XX=”2” or “13”), the contact closes whenever the output frequency “agrees” with the
frequency reference, plus or minus the speed agree detection width.
• When desired frequency agree is enabled using the multi-function contact outputs
(H2-XX=”3” or “14”), the contact closes whenever the output frequency “agrees” with the
speed agree detection level, plus or minus the speed agree detection width.
• When frequency detection is enabled using the multi-function contact outputs
(H2-XX=”4”, “5”, “15” or “16”), the contact closes whenever the output frequency is less
than or more than the speed agree detection level, depending on which detection is selected.

Torque Detection
The overtorque detection circuit activates when the motor load causes the motor current to exceed
the overtorque dectection level (L6-02). When an overtorque condition is detected, alarm signals
can be sent to the multi-function output terminals 9, 25 and 26. To output an overtorque detection
signal, select torque detection 1 at either of the multi-function contact outputs (H2-XX=”B” or

Troubleshooting the Drive
In this troubleshooting section, “check,” means investigating whether an item is functioning and in
an acceptable physical condition, and then taking corrective action (adjusting, fixing, replacing,
etc.) as necessary. In the Corrective Action column, you may not have to perform all of the steps to
correct the problem.

Maintenance and Inspection

This section describes basic maintenance and inspection procedures for the IMPULSE•VG+ Series

Cooling Fan Abnormal noise and vibration Clean or replace the fan.
Power Components Accumulation of dust or dirt Blow with dry, compressed air (57-86 psi).

Alarm and Fault classes are described as follows:

• Major Fault: Brake is set, operation indicator lights flash, fault is displayed on keypad and fault
contact output (terminals 18, 19 & 20) are activated. The reset key must be pressed, a multi-
function input set for fault reset or power must be cycled in order to continue operation.
• Fault (minor): Brake is set, RUN Led flashes until run command is removed, fault is displayed
on keypad, fault contact output (terminals 18, 19 & 20) are not activated. The reset key does not
need to be pressed. The drive will attempt to run again at the next run command.
• Alarm (Warning): Operation continues, fault is displayed on the keypad, fault contact output
(terminals 18, 19 & 20) are not activated.

Troubleshooting Encoder Related Fault
The faults in this section may involve the encoder feedback system. During system startup, these
faults are often caused by parameters that need to be adjusted. However, after the system has been
running for some time without a fault, this usually indicates a problem with the physical system and
adjusting the parameters should only be done after the physical system has been inspected.

Fault Code: Dev–Speed Deviation

Definition
Speed deviation faults mean that the drive output is not following the commanded speed reference.
This is possible if there is not enough torque available to follow the internal speed reference.
Therefore, speed deviations will typically occur when the drive is at its programmed torque limit. In
addition, if the drive receives erratic, or missing, encoder pulses, speed deviations are also possible.
If the initial drive tuning and start-up of the system was successfully completed and the crane has
been in operation without any faults, then the occurrence of this fault most likely indicates that
something mechanical with the system has changed or drive parameters were changed (i.e., failed
encoder, load snag, crane overload, change in acceleration or deceleration times, etc.).

Corrective Action
1. Do NOT continue to operate the hoist.
NOTE: Continued attempts to operate the hoist with speed deviation faults occurring can
result in loss of control of the load under certain circumstances.
2. As a precaution the load float time, parameter C8-10, should be set to zero until the source of the
speed deviation fault has been determined and corrected.
3. Verify if the load has snagged or if there is a load on the hook that exceeds capacity.
4. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, or the encoder shaft
coupling (depending on the type of encoder used). If the pulse wheel is misaligned or the shaft
coupling is loose the drive will get erratic pulse signals or no signals at all causing a speed
deviation fault or PGO (Pulse Generator Open) fault. Repairs to the encoder wheel or shaft
coupling should be made immediately before again attempting to operate the hoist.
5. If the encoder appears to have no mechanical problems, the encoder cable should be checked for
damage and replaced if a problem is found.
5.1 Each of the encoder wires should be checked for continuity.
5.2 The wires should be checked for shorts between any two wires.
5.3 The wires should be checked for shorts to the shield or ground.
5.4 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
6. If the encoder feedback system checks out mechanically and electrically, then the last physical
check to make is for something in the mechanical system that might be resisting normal
operation. One example may be the brake is not opening fully and is causing enough drag to
prevent the system from operating at commanded speed.

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (14908-14911) Instruction Manual – 6/23/00

6-12
 7. If the encoder feedback system checks out and no other mechanical problems can be found,
then something must have changed in the control system.
7.1 Check if the acceleration or deceleration times have been changed (B5-01, B5-02, or
C1-02).
7.2 Check if a function that provides an alternate acceleration or deceleration rate has been
enabled or changed. (Quick Stop, Reverse Plug Simulation, Accel/Decel Time 2)
If one of these times are too short, causing torque limited acceleration or deceleration, then
the times should be extended.
8. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), only then should the speed
deviation detection levels be adjusted.
NOTE: The reaction time necessary to stop a load is limited to the lift of the hoist and the
response time of the hoist brakes. It is desirable to have as fast a fault reaction
time as possible without causing nuisance trips.)
9. Increase Encoder Excessive Speed Deviation Level to no more than 30 (F1-10).
10. After the corrective action has been taken and the fault no longer occurs then the load float
time, C8-10, can be set back to its initial value.

Fault Code: PGO–Pulse Generator Signal Missing

Definition
The pulse generator signal missing fault indicates that the drive has detected a loss of encoder
feedback. This fault will typically occur if the drive doesn’t receive any encoder feedback
pulses while it is commanded to run.

Corrective Action
1. Do NOT continue to operate the hoist.
NOTE: Continued attempts to operate the hoist with PGO faults occurring can result in
loss of control of the load under certain circumstances.
2. As a precaution, the load float time, parameter C8-10, should be set to zero until the source
of the PGO Fault has been determined and corrected.
3. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, the encoder shaft
coupling (depending on the type of encoder used), or check for a failed encoder sensor
head. If one of these conditions exist the drive will get erratic pulse signals or no signal at
all causing a speed deviation fault or PGO fault. Repairs to the encoder wheel or shaft
coupling should be made immediately before again attempting to operate the hoist.
4. If the encoder appears to have no mechanical problems, the encoder cable should be
checked for damage and replaced if a problem is found.
4.1 Each of the encoder wires should be check for continuity.
4.2 The wires should be checked for shorts between any two wires.
4.3 The wires should be checked for shorts to the shield or ground.
4.4 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
5. If the encoder feedback system checks out, then check for physical obstruction to motor
rotation such as brake failing to open.

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (14908-14911) Instruction Manual – 6/23/00

6-13
 6. After corrective action has been taken and the fault no longer occurs then the load float time, C8-
10, can be set back to initial value.

Fault Code: PGO2–Pulse Generator Signal Monitor Fault

Definition
The Pulse Generator signal monitor fault indicates that the drive has detected a problem with the
encoder. This fault may be generated by the encoder monitor function or the encoder backup
function. In the encoder monitor function, if the motor shaft is told to move forward a number of
pulses at a calculated frequency, the drive expects to see those counts forward in C8-21 time or less.
If it does not, the drive sets a PGO2 Fault indicating a problem with the PG Circuit. In the encoder
backup function, this fault is generated when the multi-function input has changed state and the
encoder position has remained constant. Additionally this fault condition needs to be present for
multiple consecutive changes in state of the multi-function input. The number of times required is set
in F1-18.

Corrective Action
1. Do NOT continue to operate the hoist.
NOTE: Continued attempts to operate the hoist with PGO2 faults occurring can result in loss
of control of the load under certain circumstances.
2. As a precaution, the load float time, parameter C8-10, should be set to zero until the source of
the PGO fault has been determined and corrected.
3. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, the encoder shaft coupling
(depending on the type of encoder used), or check for a failed encoder sensor head. If one of
these conditions exist the drive will get erratic pulse signals or no signals at all causing a speed
deviation fault or PGO fault. Repairs to the encoder wheel or shaft coupling should be made
immediately before again attempting to operate the hoist.
4. If the encoder appears to have no mechanical problems, the encoder cable should be checked for
damage and replaced if a problem is found.
4.1 Each of the encoder wires should be checked for continuity.
4.2 The wires should be checked for shorts between any two wires.
4.3 The wires should be checked for shorts to the shield or ground.
4.4 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
5. If the encoder feedback system checks out, then check for a physical obstruction to motor
rotation such as a brake failing to open.
6. If there is no physical problem detected, then adjust the parameters for the encoder monitor (C8-
18–C8-21) or encoder backup function (F1-16–F1-18) as necessary.
7. After the corrective action has been taken and the fault no longer occurs then the load float time,
C8-10, can be set back to its initial value.

Fault Code: SVR–Noisy Encoder Fault

Definition
Noisy encoder faults indicate that the drive has detected erratic encoder feedback. The drive
continuously monitors the quality of the encoder feedback. If the encoder feedback exhibits erratic
feedback for a period of time (set in B7-01) then this fault will be displayed.

Corrective Action
1. Do NOT Continue to operate the hoist.
NOTE: Continued attempts to operate the hoist with SVR faults occurring can result in loss of
control of the load under certain circumstances.
2. As a precaution, the load float time, parameter C8-10, should be set to zero until the source of
the SVR fault has been determined and corrected.
3. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, or the encoder shaft
coupling (depending on the type of encoder used). If the pulse wheel is misaligned or the shaft
coupling is loose the drive will get erratic pulse signals or no signals at all possibly causing an
SVR fault. Repairs to the encoder wheel or shaft coupling should be made immediately before
again attempting to operate the hoist.
4. If the encoder appears to have no mechanical problems, the encoder cable should be checked for
damage and replaced if a problem is found.
4.1 Each of the encoder wires should be checked for continuity.
4.2 The wires should be checked for shorts between any two wires.
4.3 The shield should be checked for proper grounding.
4.4 The wires should be checked for shorts to the shield or ground.
4.5 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
5. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), only then should the SVR delay
timer setting be adjusted.
NOTE: It is desirable to have as fast a fault no longer occurs then the load float time, C8-10,
can be set back to its initial value.
6. After the corrective action has been taken and the fault no longer occurs then the load float time,
C8-10, can be set back to its initial value.

 Fault Code: BE1–Torque Proving Fault

Definition
The BE1 fault indicates that the drive has released the brake, but has not started to accelerate the
motor when it detects more than the expected encoder feedback. A BE1 fault will occur if the pulses
received during the BE1 detection time (C8-04) are greater than the expected number of pulses (C8-
05). This is typically caused by the drive/motor have insufficient torque to suspend the load.

Correction Action
1. For reference, see timing diagram on page 5-40.
2. Check the encoder cable for damage and proper grounding. Replace it if a problem is found.
2.1 Each of the encoder signals should be checked for excessive noise.
2.2 The shielded encoder cable should be properly grounded.
2.3 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
3. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, or the encoder shaft
coupling (Depending on the type of encoder used). If the pulse wheel is misaligned or the shaft
coupling is loose the drive may get erratic pulse signals possibly causing a BE1 fault. Repairs to
the encoder wheel or shaft coupling should be made immediately before again attempting to
operate the hoist.
4. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), only then should the BE1 detection
parameters be adjusted.
NOTE: It is desirable to have as fast a fault reaction time as possible without causing
nuisance trips.
5. Increase C8-05 to no more than 800.

Fault Code: BE3–Brake Release Fault

Definition
The BE3 fault indicates that the drive has released the brake and commanded the drive to run, but
has not detected the expected encoder feedback. A BE3 fault will occur if the pulses received during
the BE3 detection time (C8-06) are less than the expected number of pulses (C8-07).
NOTE: Depending on the condition of the crane and control system, the load may drift during the
BE3 detection time until the brake is again set. If giving a run command, the BE3 fault
should be detected before a PGO fault would be detected.

Corrective Action
1. For reference, see timing diagram on page 5-41.
2. Check the brake for proper operation. If the brake does not open the drive will not see the proper
number of encoder pulses returned and will post this fault.
3. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, or the encoder shaft
coupling (depending on the type of encoder used). If the pulse wheel is misaligned or the shaft
coupling is loose the drive will get erratic pulse signals or no signals at all possibly causing a
BE3 fault. Repairs to the encoder wheel or shaft coupling should be made immediately before
again attempting to operate the hoist.

 4. If the encoder appears to have no mechanical problems, the encoder cable should be checked for
damage and replaced if a problem is found.
4.1 Each of the encoder wires should be checked for continuity.
4.2 The wires should be checked for shorts between any two wires.
4.3 The wires should be checked for shorts to the shield or ground.
4.4 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
5. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), only then should the BE3 detection
parameters be adjusted.
NOTE: It is desirable to have as fast a fault reaction time as possible without causing
nuisance trips.
6. Ensure that C8-04 is equal to the brake’s mechanical delay time.
7. Increase the value of C8-06 to no more than 1 second.
8. Decrease the value of C8-07 to no less than 10.

Fault Code: BE6–Brake Proving Alarm

Definition
The BE6 alarm indicates that the drive has commanded the brake to set but it has detected more than
the expected encoder feedback. A BE6 alarm will occur if the number of pulses received during the
BE6 detection time (C8-12) is greater than the expected number of pulses (C8-13).
NOTE: This fault typically indicates a failed brake. Power should NOT be removed while this
fault is active and the load should be moved to a safe location and lowered before
proceeding with any corrective action.

Corrective Action
1. For reference, see timing diagram on page 5-43.
2. Check the brake for proper operation and adjustment. If the brake does not set, is improperly
adjusted or is excessively worn, it may not be able to hold the load. This will allow the encoder
pulses received during the detection time to exceed the set point.
3. Check the encoder cable for damage and proper grounding. Replace it if a problem is found.
3.1 Each of the encoder signals should be checked for excessive noise.
3.2 The shielded encoder cable should be properly grounded.
3.3 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
4. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, or the encoder shaft
coupling (Depending on the type of encoder used). If the pulse wheel is misaligned or the shaft
coupling is loose the drive may get erratic pulse signals possibly causing a BE6 fault. Repairs to
the encoder wheel or shaft coupling should be made immediately before again attempting to
operate the hoist.
5. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), only then should the BE6 detection
parameters be adjusted.
NOTE: It is desirable to have as fast a fault reaction time as possible without causing
nuisance trips.

 6. Ensure that C8-11 is equal to the brake’s mechanical delay time.
7. Increase the value of C8-13.

Fault Code: OC–Over Current Fault

Definition
An over current fault is caused if the output current exceeds 200% of the inverter rated output
current. This fault can be caused by short circuits in the wiring or in the motor, and it can also be
caused by parameters that are not adjusted properly. One other cause of this alarm could be erratic or
no encoder feedback. In the last instance, the drive is trying to command the motor to hold a position
but due to the encoder problem, is unable to find the correct position. This would cause the drive to
increase current output to the motor in an attempt to correct the position until an over current fault
occurs.

Corrective Action
1. Check the motor wiring and the motor itself for a short between phases.
2. Check the alignment of the encoder pulse wheel with the sensor head, or the encoder shaft
coupling (depending on the type of encoder used). If the pulse wheel is misaligned or the shaft
coupling is loose the drive will get erratic pulse signals or no signals at all possibly causing an
OC fault. Repairs to the encoder wheel or shaft coupling should be made immediately before
again attempting to operate the hoist.
3. If the encoder appears to have no mechanical problems, the encoder cable should be checked for
damage and replaced if a problem is found.
3.1 Each of the encoder wires should be check for continuity.
3.2 The wires should be checked for shorts between any two wires.
3.3 The shield should be check for proper grounding.
3.4 The wires should be checked for shorts to the shield or ground.
3.5 Visually inspect the cable for damage that may be causing intermittent problems.
4. If none of the above steps has identified a valid problem(s), check if any of the torque limit
parameters (C7-01 to C7-04) have been changed. If these parameters have been changed to
allow a higher torque value, it could cause over current trips.
NOTE: Changing these parameters could also induce speed deviation or overload faults.
Only a trained technician should modify these parameters. It is desirable to have as
fast a fault reaction time as possible without causing nuisance trips.

Service
This chapter includes information pertaining to on-call service, drive identification, troubleshooting,
and warranty. Before you install, troubleshoot, or service the drive, we highly recommend that you
read this entire chapter. Doing this will help assure quick service response, minimize your on-site
repair costs, and reduce crane downtime.
Your IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 drive includes a two-year warranty from date of shipment. The
warranty is described in detail later in this chapter.

On-Call Service
If you ever require our assistance, contact us at (800) 288-8178; our fax number is (800) 298-3508.
Technical support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. If necessary,
we can arrange to have a Service Technician visit your site to evaluate the situation.

Identifying Your Drive

If you ever have to contact Electromotive Systems about your drive, first determine the model and
serial numbers of your drive by looking at the nameplate shown below.

Service Policy For Small Drives, DBUs, and Other Electrical Components
This section explains Electromotive Systems’ service policy for the small drives (2006-FVG+
through 2224-FVG+ and 4001-FVG+ through 4165-FVG+ and 5003-FVG+ through 5099-FVG+),
dynamic braking units (DBUs), and other electrical components.
Should your IMPULSE product fail during the warranty period, Electromotive Systems will repair or
replace your unit within 72 hours (3 working days). In most cases, we can supply a replacement unit
within 24 hours (1 working day). If the problem is not covered under warranty, you are responsible
for the cost of the repairs and the shipping charges.
To return a failed unit (or part):
1. Request a Return Authorization (RA) from Electromotive Systems’ Service Department, as a
condition for us to repair or replace the unit. Return the failed unit to Electromotive Systems via
pre-paid freight. When you call, please have the serial number of the drive available and be
prepared to provide the information requested on the Return Authorization Information Sheet
found on page A-5.
2. A purchase order or credit card is required to cover the cost of the replacement unit or repairs to
a returned unit.

IMPULSE•VG+ Series 2 (14908-14911) Instruction Manual – 6/23/00

 Electromotive Systems will inspect the failed unit and determine if the unit is covered under
warranty.
• If the unit is covered under warranty, Electromotive Systems will credit the cost of the
replacement unit and/or repairs and reimburse for all reasonable freight charges.
NOTE: Freight charges incurred from sources other than common ground carriers WILL
NOT be reimbursed unless pre-approved by Electromotive Systems.
• If the unit is not covered under warranty, Electromotive Systems will bill you for the cost of the
replacement unit or the cost of repairs. Electromotive Systems will also bill you for a $125.00
inspection fee (this fee will be waived if repairs are made to the unit) and any freight charges
incurred by Electromotive Systems.

Service Policy for Large Drives

This section explains Electromotive Systems’ service policy for the large drive (2300-FVG+, and
4224-FVG+ through 4605-FVG+, and 5130-FVG+ through 5200-FVG+).
Because of the size and weight of large units, it may not be practical to return the entire drive to
Electromotive Systems for repair. If a drive has failed, you must first contact us by telephone for
assistance in diagnosis. If necessary, we may authorize the on-site replacement of specific
components and the return of these failed parts for credit, replacement, or repair.
These components include; but not limited to:
• Control/logic card
• Main base drive card
• Subbase drive card
• Drive unit transistor cassette
• Fan unit
• Main input diode circuit
• Capacitors
• DC Bus Fuses
• Electromotive Systems interface and special option cards.
On-site troubleshooting and the replacement of failed components is to be performed only by
technicians approved by Electromotive Systems.
Follow procedures outlined above for returning components.

Important Product Upgrade Information
Changes in Software from 14906 to 14908/14909

Parameter Description Change

A1-04 Speed Reference Default setting change from 5 step to 3 step at the
request of many of our customers.
B5-01 Accel Time
B5-02 Decel Time Default settings modified to improve operational
D9-01 S-Curve Acceleration at Start performance during acceleration and deceleration
and extend drive life by reducing peak currents
D9-02 S-Curve Acceleration at End
D9-03 S-Curve Deceleration at Start
B6-02 Phase Loss In Level
B6-04 Phase Loss Out Level
D1-05 DC Injection P Gain Relocated from “factory level programming only”
to Advance programming mode to allow
D1-06 DC Injection Int. Gain customers greater flexibility in programming and
troubleshooting the drive.
D1-07 DC Injection Limit
L8-10 Ground Fault Detection
L8-14 UV3 Detection Selection
C3-07 Upper action Parameter C3-07 (Action at UL2/LL2)=0 (decel to
stop) by default. When parameter A1-03=2 (NLB
Hoist) and C3-07 (Action at UL2/LL2)=0 (decel to
stop), the drive will now used NLB (No Load
Brake) stopping when a “lower limit stop” or
“upper limit stop” is input. This input could come
from the G5IN4 option card or a programmable
multi-function input terminals 3~8 on the G5IF.
The NLB stopping method means the drive will
decelerate to a stop, load float for a period of time,
continue to load float until the allotted brake close
delay times has expired, and check if the electric
brake is capable of holding the load (when EB6 is
enabled at C8-12) before it stops outputting
voltage.
L8-01 through C8-17 IMPORTANT: BE6 detection is now disabled
as a default. Reference pages 5-32 through 5-41
for a detailed explanation.
L8-16 Initial Brake Release Torque New parameter, available when A1-03=2 (No
Load Brake Hoist).
C8-17 BE6 Up Speed New parameter, available when A1-03=2 (No
Load Brake Hoist) and C8-12 is enabled.
L9-01 Reset Select
L9-02 Rest Attempts Changed at customer request to allow auto-reset of
L9-03 Reset Time specific faults (UV1 and CE-communication
errors).
L9-04 Reset Fault Select 1
L9-05 Reset Fault Select 2

 Changes in Software from 14908/14909 to 14911

Parameter Description Change

B1-06 Reference 6
Added for Multi-Step Speeds 6, 7, and 8, see table
B1-07 Reference 7 on page 5-4. Expands multi-step inputs.
B1-08 Reference 8
Parameters changed by Parameters changed by This enabled more parameters to be automatically
X-Press Programming X-Press Programming changed based on Motion and Speed Reference.
See Parameters Changed by X-Press Programming
on pages 4-11 through 4-13.
H1-01 to H1-06 Digital Multifunction Input (MFI) Deleted function for Digital MFI Input Data
Data selection 3F and 40 selection 3F and 40 (KEB Ride thru N.O. and KEB
Ridethru N.C.). In 14908 and 14909 the selection
text reads “Do Not Use”.
H1-01 to H1-06 Data 40 “BE6 Up Speed” Created new Digital MFI for data 40. Data 40 now
reads “BE6 Up Speed”. This input limits the speed
in the raise direction to the frequency reference
programmed in parameter C8-17. This was
implemented mainly for dual hoist applications.
H1-01 to H1-06 Data 37 and 38 (External Base Block Do not base block to stop if in BE5 or BE6
N.O. and N.C.) condition. This action is taken anytime BE5 or
BE6 has been detected and successful brake
proving or brake answer back has not been
accomplished. The drive will instead use the NLB
Stopping Sequence.
BE5/BE6 If BE5 or BE6 is detected, the output is now
annunicated continuously until the BE6 routine is
completed successfully or the power is removed.
This was implemented mainly for dual hoist
applications.
A1-04 Speed Reference Added sub menu 7 to A1-04. Data 7 text reads
“Not Used”. This was created to avoid OPE3 faults
when using the G5IN4 for controlling speed
references. If A1-04=7, Digital MFI terminals 3~8
are programmed for data F “Not Used”. See
Parameters Changed by X-Press Programming on
pages 4-11 through 4-13.
G5IN4 Table Rearranged G5IN4 table with more practical data.
See page 5-42.
Parameters now changed based on KVA.
C4-02 Zero Servo Gain Reference page 5-27
C8-01 Torque Compensation Time Reference page 5-34
C8-02 IFB OK Time Reference page 5-34

Parameter Description Change
B3-03 Stopping Method Fixed B3-03 sub menu from displaying stopping
methods that will not work with the current
Control Method and Motion. See Table 1 for
details.
H2-03 H2-03, Digit 1A Corrected spelling of Digital Multifunction Output
(MFO) Data 1A “Forward Dir”. Previously spelled
“Forword Dir”
D10-01 Carrier Frequency Changed default to optimize performance.
C2-01/C2-02 Micro Speed Improved accuracy of Mirco Speed calculation at
Gain settings below 0.1.
C8-18 to C8-21 PG Monitor Setup Added memory within the drive has allowed us to
enhance safety capibilities by providing a level of
redundancy in monitoring the encoder. Default
setting is enabled.
For applications using a 600 PPR encoder or
less consult factory for recommended
parameter settings. Reference pages 5-34 to 5-
37.
F1-16 to F1-18 Pulse Input Setup Added to sofware as a feature to provide a level of
redundancy in monitoring the encoder. Example of
appropriate usage would be the nuclear industry.
Reference page 5-73.
