 READ FIRST - Safety Precautions
AC motor controls and servo drives contain dangerous voltages which

 Danger to Life
can cause death or serious injury. During operation they can have live
"energized" un-insulated parts, moving parts, as well as hot surfaces.
Care should be taken to ensure correct and safe operation in order to
minimize risk to personnel and equipment.

All work involving this product, installation, start up as well as mainte-

 Only Qualified
Personnel
nance may only be performed by qualified electrical technical person-
nel. According to this manual "qualified" means: those who are able to
recognize and acknowledge the possible dangerous conditions based
on their training and experience and those who are familiar with the
relevant standards and installation codes as well as the field of power
transmission.

AC motor controls and servo drives must be protected against physical


Protect Against damage during transport, installation, and use. Components or covers
Accidental must not be bent or deformed as this may decrease insulation distanc-
Contact es inside the unit resulting in an unsafe condition. On receipt of the unit
visual damage should be reported immediately to the supplier. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO POWER UP A UNIT WITH VISIBLE PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
This unit contains electrostatically sensitive components which can be
destroyed by in correct handling. For that reason, disassembly of the
unit or contact with the components should be avoided.

Before any installation and connection work can be done the supply


Note Capacitor voltage must be turned off and locked out. After turning off the supply
Discharge Time voltage, dangerous voltages may still be present within the unit as the
bus capacitors discharge. Therefore it is necessary to wait 5 minutes
before working on the unit after turning off the supply voltage.

The low voltage control terminal strip and communication ports are se-

 Secure curely isolated in accordance with EN50178. When connecting to other

Isolation systems, it is necessary to verify the insulation ratings of these sys-
tems in order to ensure the EN requirements are still met. When con-
necting the unit to a grounded delta power system, the control circuit
can no longer be classified as a "securely isolated circuit".

Before putting the motor control into operation be sure the connection
terminals are tight and all covers removed for installation have been
replaced.


The AC motor control or servo system can be adjusted to self initiate an
Damage to
automatic restart in the even of a fault or error condition. The design of
Property and In- the system must take this into account, such that personnel are safe
jury to Persons guarded against potentially dangerous circumstances.

Software functions in the AC motor control or servo system can be


Redundant Safety
Mechanisms
used to control or regulate external systems. However, in the event of
failure of the motor control or servo system there is no guarantee these
software function(s) will continue to provide the desired level of con-
trol. As a result, when operator or machine safety is at stake, external
elements must be used to supplement or override the software function
within the AC motor control or servo system.

1.3 Mounting instructions
1.3.1 Classification

 The elevator drive is classified as an "Open Type" inverter with an IP20

rating and is intended for "use in a pollution degree 2 environment."
The unit must be mounted inside of a control cabinet offering proper
environmental protection.

1.3.2 Physical Mounting

Install the inverter in a stationary location offering a firm mounting point
with low vibration.
Installation of the inverter on moving system may require special earth
ground connections to the inverter.
For best high frequency grounding, install the inverter on a bare metal
sub-panel, i.e. zinc plated steel or galvanized steel.
Take into consideration the minimum clearance distances when posi-
tioning the inverter (see drawing below). The F5 series inverters are
designed for vertical installation and can be aligned next to each other.
Maintain a distance of at least 2 inches in front of the unit. Make sure
cooling is sufficient.

1.3.3 Harsh Environments

For extended life, prevent dust from getting into the inverter.
When installing the unit inside a sealed enclosure, make sure the
enclosure is sized correctly for proper heat dissipation or that a cooling
system has been installed in the panel.

 Protect the inverter against conductive and corrosive gases and

liquids. Water or mist should not be allowed into the inverter.

The F5 elevator drive inverter must be installed in an explosion-proof

enclosure when operating in an explosion-proof environment.

 General

1.3.4 Ambient Conditions


Maximum Surrounding Air Temperature 45°C! The operating temperature
range of the unit is -10°C to + 45°C (14° to +113°F). Operation outside of
this temperature range can lead to shut down of the inverter.
The unit can be stored (power off) in the temperature range -25°C to 70°C
(-13 to +158°F). After prolonged storage, one half year or more, apply volt-
age to the inverter for 2 hours before operating the motor. This will allow the
electrolytic bus capacitors to stabilize before use and result in longer lifetime
of the unit.
The power rating of the inverter must be derated for operation above 3,300
ft (1000 m). Reduce the rated power 1% for each additional 330 ft (100 m).
The maximum elevation for operation is 6,560 ft (2000 m)
The relative humidity shall be limited to 95% without condensation.

1.4 Electrical connections

1.4.1 Safety First


CAUTION - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Always disconnect supply volt-
age before servicing the F5 Elevator Drive.
After disconnecting the supply voltage, always wait 5 minutes before at-
tempting to change the wiring. The internal DC BUS capacitors must dis-
charge.

1.4.2 Voltage Supply

Pay attention to the supply voltage and be sure the supply voltage matches
that of the inverter. A 230V unit can be supplied with voltage in the range
180 to 260VAC +/-0%, for a 460V unit the range is 305 to 500VAC +/- 0%,
48Hz to 62 Hz.
All 240V models are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not
more than ___ kA rms symmetrical amperes, 240 volts maximum when pro-
tected by class ___ fuses rated ___ Amperes as specified in table 1.4.4.1 or
when protected by a circuit breaker having an interrupt rating not less than
___ kA rms symmetrical amperes, 240V maximum, rated ___ amperes as
specified in table 1.4.4.1.

All 480V models are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not
more than ___ kA rms symmetrical amperes, 480 volts maximum when pro-
tected by class ___ fuses rated ___ Amperes as specified in table 1.4.4.2 or
when protected by a circuit breaker having an interrupt rating not less than
___ kA rms symmetrical amperes, 480V maximum, rated ___ amperes as
specified in table 1.4.4.2.
12
 General

i
Connection of the F5 series inverters to voltage systems configured as a cor-
ner grounded delta, center tap grounded delta, open delta, or ungrounded
delta, may defeat the internal noise suppression of the inverter. Increased high
frequency disturbance in the controller and on the line may be experienced. A
balanced, neutral grounded wye connection is always recommended. The three
phase voltage imbalance must be less than 2% phase to phase. Greater imbal-
ance can lead to damage of the inverter's power circuit.
1.4.3 Disconnect switch
A disconnect switch or contactor should be provided as a means of turning off the
supply voltage when the unit is not in use or when it must be serviced.
Repetitive cycling on and off of the input supply voltage more than once every
two minutes can lead to damage of the inverter.

1.4.4 Fusing


Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protec-
tion. Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the Manufac-
turer Instructions, National Electrical Code (NFPA70 or CSA22.1) and any addi-
tional local codes.
Branch circuit protection for the F5 must be provided using the fuses as listed in
the tables 1.4.4.1 and 1.4.4.2 below. The class RK5 fuses are recommend. As
an Example, use BUSSMANN type FRS-R for 480V or FRN-R for 230V. Other
manufacturers’ class RK5 fuses are also acceptable.
The minimum voltage rating for protection devices used with 230V inverters shall
be 250VAC. The minimum voltage rating for protection devices used with 460V
inverters shall be 600VAC.

* Semiconductor fuses are manufactured by Siba Fuse Inc. When using this type
of fuse, this is the model number of the fuse is the fuse that must be used.

Fuses shall not be installed between the drive and the motor.
In PM motor applications where the drive input current can be lower than the
output current, it is allowed to use a protection device with a lower current rating
thus being able to optimize line side wiring and ancillary components.
1.4.5 Line Chokes


A line choke with minimum 3% impedance is required for all 230 V inverters 50hp
(size 20) and greater. A line choke with minimum 3% impedance is required for
all 480V inverters 100hp (size 23) and greater.
Installation of a line choke is recommended and can be used prevent nuisance
errors and protection caused by voltage spikes. Additionally, the use of a line
choke will double the operational lifetime of the DC bus capacitors in the unit.

1.4.6 Motor Thermal Protection

The F5 series inverters are UL approved as a solid state motor overload protec-
tion device. It is necessary to adjust the current trip level in parameter LF.9 or
LF.12. The function assumes the use of a non-ventilated motor. The function
meets the requirements set forth in VDE 0660 Part 104, UL508C section 42,
NFPA 70 Article 430 part C. See the description for parameter LF.9 for the trip
characteristics.
A motor winding sensor can also be used for additional safety and the highest
level of protection. Either a normally closed contact (rating: 15V / 6mA) or a PTC
(positive temperature coefficient) resistor can be connected to the T1, T2 termi-
nals on the inverter. The thermal device should be connected as indicated on
page 24.
1.4.7 Motor Cable Length
In some conventional installations and many MRL applications, the motor can
be a considerable distance (greater then 40 feet) from the elevator drive. Under
these circumstances the long cable length can cause high voltage peaks or high
dv/dt (rate of voltage rise) on the motor windings. Depending on the design of the
motor, these can lead to damage of the motor winding. Therefore, in these instal-
lations use of a special dv/dt filter is highly recommended.
The standard approved solution is special output choke designed for use with the
a maximum of 16kHz switching frequency and low inductance so as not to drasti-
cally influence the motor's equivalent circuit model.
There are three sizes available for motors rated up to 136A. The part numbers
and current ratings are listed below.
Part Number Rated Current
18Z1A05-1000 45A
21Z1A05-1000 75A
23Z1A05-1000 136A

The use of a conventional line or motor choke on the output of the drive is not
recommend since the inductance value is high enough that it would distort the
values in the motor model and result in poor control of the motor.

1.4.8 High Voltage Connections

Always note inverter voltage, select appropriate over current protection devices,
select disconnect device, and select proper wire size before beginning the wiring
process. Wire the drive according to NFPA 70 Class 1 requirements.
The correct wire gauge for each size inverter can be selected from the charts on
pages 18-22. The wire gauge is based on the maximum fuse rating for the invert-
er. The terminal tightening torque can be found for each unit in the same charts.
Always use UL listed and CSA approved wire. Use 60/75°C copper conductors
only for equipment rated 100 Amperes or less and use 75°C Copper Conductors
only for equipment rated grater than 100 Amperes! Use minimum 300V rated
wire with 230V systems and minimum 600V rated wire with 480V systems.
To prevent coupling high frequency noise, the following wires must be spatially
separated from each other a minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) when they
are laid parallel to each other :
- AC supply power and motor lines not connected to inverters
- motor lines connected to inverters
- control and data lines ( low-voltage level < 48 V )
When using EMI filters, use only the wire provided with the filter to connect the
filter to the inverter. Do not add additional wire between the filter and the inverter
as this will have a negative effect on the operation of the filter.
1.4.9 Ground Connections
When working with high frequencies ( > 1kHz ) and power semiconductors it is
recommended to make all ground connections with large exposed metal surfaces
in order to minimize the ground resistance.
The metal sub-plate the inverter is mounted on is regarded as the central ground
point for the machine or the equipment. For best results use an unpainted, galva-
nized or plated sub-panel.
An additional high frequency ground wire should be connected between the
inverter and the sub-panel. Use a stranded wire equal in size to the main line
conductor or a thick ground strap. This is in addition to the ground wire required
by NFPA 70, UL 508, CSA 22.1
All ground connections should be kept as short as possible and as close as pos-
sible to the ground system, sub-panels.
If other components in the system exhibit problems due to high frequency distur-
bances, connect an additional high frequency ground wire between them and the
sub-panel.
The EMI filter should be mounted to the drive or as close as possible to the in-
verter and on the same sub-panel as the inverter. Good metallic surface contact
to the sub-panel is required to provide adequate high frequency grounding of the
filter.
16
 General

1.4.10 High Frequency Shielding

Use of shielded cable is recommended when high frequency emissions or easily
disturbed signals are present. Examples are as follows:
- motor wires: connect shield to ground at both the drive and motor, NOTE
the shield should never be used as the protective ground conductor required
by NFPA70 or CSA22.1. Always use a separate conductor for this.
- digital control wires: connect shield to ground at both ends.
- analog control wires: connect shield to ground only at the inverter.

The connection of meshed shields to the ground connection should not be

done through a single strand or drain wire of the shield, but with metallic clamps
to provide 360° contact around the surface of the shield to the ground point.
Connection with a single wire from the braided shield reduces the effectiveness of
the shield 70%. Metal conduit clamps work well for this. Be sure the fit is tight.
Ridged metal conduit can be used as the shield of the motor wires. Always
observe the following points :
- remove all paint from the control cabinet and motor housing where the
conduit is fastened
- securely fasten all conduit fittings
- run only the motor wires through the conduit, all other wires, high voltage AC
and low voltage signal, should be pulled through a separate conduit.
- connect the control panel to the Sub-panel with a heavy ground strap.
If EMI filters are used, they should be mounted to the inverter or as close as
possible to the inverter and on the same sub-panel as the inverter. Good metallic
surface contact to the sub-panel is required to provide adequate high frequency
grounding of the filter. Always use the shielding plate provided with the filter when
connecting the filter to the inverter.
Shielding of control wires:
If digital signal wires are terminated on a terminal block in the control panel,
the shields should be firmly connected to the sub-panel on both sides of the
terminal block.
The shields of digital signal wires originating outside the control cabinet which
are not terminated on a terminal block, must be connected to the sub-panel at
the point where the cable enters the control panel and at the inverter.
If the shield is terminated to the sub-panel within 8 inches (20cm) of the
inverter, then the shield no longer needs to be connected to the inverter.
When using un-shielded signal wires, they should always be installed as a
twisted pair (signal and common).
Low voltage signal wires should cross high voltage wires at right angles. 17

 Overload Characteristic

2.6 Time dependent overload curve

If the load current exceeds the rated current but is below the over current level, an
overload timer begins counting. The rate at which the timer increments is a function
of load current. The higher the current the faster the increments. When the counter
reaches the limit the fault E.OL is triggered and the output to the motor is shut off.
At this point the inverter begins a cool down period where the inverter is allowed to
cool before the fault can be reset.

At low speeds (below 3 Hz) the rms current flowing through the power transistors is higher,
reaching 1.4 times the rated 60Hz rms value. This is caused by the low frequency sine wave cre-
ated by the PWM. As a result, the continuous output current must be limited at low speeds to pre-
vent the power transistors from overheating. The COMBIVERT F5 will drop the carrier frequency
to 4kHz if necessary to be able to continue to provide current to the motor. Once the output fre-

 Installation and Connection

3.2.3 X3A Hiperface The Hiperface encoder provides two differential analog channels for
Encoder incremental position and one serial data channel for communication with
the encoder. This serial data channel can provide the drive with the
absolute position of the motor as well as other operating data.

The analog cosine and sine wave signals of tracks A and B have a
voltage of 1 Vpp with an Offset of 2.5 V. This analog voltage is measured
and a high resolution position value is determined as a result. This high
resolution position value is very important for good speed control of a
gearless motor.

i
Therefore it is absolutely necessary to ensure these signals are well
shielded! Noise on the analog signals resulting from breaks in the
shield or improper shield termination will result in vibration in the
motor and poor ride quality.

The internal stored ppr value is compared to the adjusted value in LF.27.
If the two are not the same the drive will trigger the error E.ENCC. Refer
to parameter LF.26 for more information.

During start-up and then every 100 ms a request is transmitted to the

encoder and the absolute position is read out via serial communication.
This initial readout of the absolute position provides the drive with the
commutation angle for permanent magnet motors. On the very first
operation of a permanent magnet motor it is necessary to synchronize
the encoder position to one of the pole pairs of the motor. See parameter
LF.77 for more information and section 5.11.1.

During normal operation, the difference between the internal absolute

position of the encoder and the measured position value in the drive is
compared. If the two deviate by more than 2.8 degrees, the drive will trigger
the error, E.ENCC. Refer to parameter LF.26 for more information.

Hiperface encoders also provide memory for the user to store a copy of
the motor data. The drive supports the functionality to read and write the
motor data to the encoder. See parameter LF.26 for more information.

If there is an excess length of cable (10 feet or less), it is OK to coil it into

a loop in the controller. Maintain a minimum diameter of 1 foot and keep
the cable at least 8 inches away from all high voltage power wires.

When this cable must be pulled through metallic conduit, it is necessary to over size the
conduit! Use of a 1 1/2 inch trade size conduit will allow the connectors to pass without removal of
the connectors. Cutting the cable, or removal of the connectors or their housings voids the warranty
and will result in problems with electrical noise after the fact.

• Stegmann SRS 50/60 Singleturn; SCS 60/70 Singleturn
• Stegmann SRM 50/60 Multiturn; SCM 60/70 Multiturn

However, this does not restrict the use of rotary encoder with same
specifications of other manufacturers

Recognition of encoder loss or exchange

The recognition of encoder loss or exchange is a software function
and dependent on the encoder type. If the drive senses that the serial
communication to the encoder has stopped, it will trigger the error
E.ENCC.

 If the encoder is replaced or disconnected, the drive will trigger an

error or warning that the encoder was changed. The drive will display
the error message E.ENCC and lock out operation by changing LF.3
to configuration mode. No further operation is possible.

If the encoder was exchanged the drive will auto reset the E.ENCC
fault but will remain in configuration mode because the user will need
to learn the new encoder position before operation can continue. See
section 5.11.1

If there is an encoder triggered fault or problems with the encoder

cables, the E.ENCC error will not clear and the problems must be
diagnosed through parameter LF.26. To clear the E.ENCC error, it is
necessary to go to parameter 0.LF.26, press "Func" and then press
"Enter".

This initial readout of the absolute position provides the drive with the

• HeidenhainROQ 425 Multiturn; EQI 1329 Multiturn

However, this does not restrict the use of rotary encoder with same
specifications of other manufacturers

The recognition of encoder loss or exchange is a software function

and dependent on the encoder type. If the drive senses that the serial
communication to the encoder has stopped, it will trigger the error
E.ENCC.

 If the encoder is replaced or disconnected, the drive will trigger an

error or warning that the encoder was changed. The drive will display
the error message E.ENCC and lock out operation by changing LF.3
to configuration mode. No further operation is possible.

If the encoder was exchanged the drive will auto reset the E.ENCC
fault but will remain in configuration mode because the user will need
to learn the new encoder position before operation can continue. See
section 5.11.1

If there is an encoder triggered fault or problems with the encoder cable

the E.ENCC error will not clear and the problems must be diagnosed
through parameter LF.26. To clear the E.ENCC error, it is necessary to
go to parameter 0.LF.26, press "Func" and then press "Enter".

3.2.5 X3A SIN/COS-SSI The SIN/COS-SSI encoder provides two differential analog channels
Encoder for incremental position and one serial data channel with clock for
communication with the encoder. This serial data channel can provide
the drive with the absolute position of the motor.

The analog cosine and sine wave signals of tracks A and B have a
voltage of 1 Vpp with an Offset of 2.5 V. This analog voltage is measured
and a high resolution position value is determined as a result. This high
resolution position value is very important for good speed control of a
gearless motor.

Therefore it is absolutely necessary to ensure these signals are well

i
shielded! Noise on the analog signals resulting from breaks in the
shield or improper shield termination will result in vibration in the
motor and poor ride quality.

During start-up and then every 30 ms a request is transmitted to the

encoder and the absolute position is read out via serial communication.
This initial readout of the absolute position provides the drive with the
commutation angle for permanent magnet motors. On the very first
operation of a permanent magnet motor it is necessary to synchronize
the encoder position to one of the pole pairs of the motor. See parameter
LF.77 for more information and section 5.11.1.

During normal operation, the difference between the internal absolute

position of the encoder and the measured position value in the drive is
compared. If the two deviate by more than 2.8 degrees, the drive will trigger
the error, E.ENCC. Refer to parameter LF.26 for more information.

The clock signal serves as synchronisation for the serial data channel.

If there is an excess length of cable (10 feet or less), it is OK to coil it into

a loop in the controller. Maintain a minimum diameter of 1 foot and keep
the cable at least 8 inches away from all high voltage power wires.

 4. Operation of the unit

4.1 Digital Operator

The Elevator drive uses a special operator which provides a user interface
and functionality specific to elevator applications. The operator must be
plugged into the drive in order for the drive to function correctly.


Unplugging the operator while the drive is in operation will result
in immediate shutdown of the drive and will cause the ready relay
to drop and the fault output to activate. If it is necessary to remove
the operator, do so while the elevator is standing still!

 Initial Start Up

5. Initial Start-up
5.1 Selecting The Configuration
Before trying to operate the drive it is necessary to establish the correct mode
of operation. The F5 drive is capable of driving different types of motors both
open and closed loop. Therefore prior to operation, the type of motor and
mode of operation (open or closed loop) must be established.

i
Note: In most cases the elevator control manufacturer will make the
adjustment of the configuration and control mode, sections 6.1,6.2,6.3,
and therefore it is not necessary to make these adjustments in the field. In
this case simply verify parameter LF.4 matches the required configuration
number listed below.

The available motors and modes or configurations are listed below. From this
list it is possible to select the correct configuration setting of the Drive.

Motor Open Closed Configuration

Type Loop Loop Display Code
Induction Geared - x ICLSd
Induction Gearless - x I9LSS
PM Synchronous Geared - x PCLSd
PM Synchronous Gearless - x P9LSS

5.2 Loading The Configuration

With the configuration code noted, go to parameter US.10 on the keypad of the
drive and press “Function.” Select the configuration code indicated and press
“Enter.”

Once the configuration is selected, it is now necessary to load the configuration

file. This adjusts the drive for the correct motor type and establishes the correct
internal settings.

To load the configuration go to parameter US.04, set the display to LoAd and
press enter. The display will show Pro9 and the configuration file will be loaded.
The display will confirm whether the load was successful. If the display ultimately
changes to parameter LF.99 and shows noP, the load was successful. If the
file is not completely loaded, the display will show bdPAS for bad operation and
will remain at parameter US.4. In this case power cycle the drive and try to load
the configuration again. Make sure that no inputs are active while trying to load
the configuration. LF.82 should read 0. If still unsuccessful there may be an
incompatibility between the operator and the drive. Contact the manufacturer
for further assistance.

After loading, the configuration can be verified through parameter LF.4. The
same configuration code as that selected in US.10 will be displayed in LF.4.
Also after a successful load US.4 will display PASS.
54
 Initial Start Up

5.3 Setting The Control Type

The COMBIVERT drive supports six different control modes, digital
speed selection and control, analog speed control, analog torque control.
The drive’s I/O will need to be set up according to the desired scheme.
From the table below select the desired control scheme and adjust the
corresponding number in parameter LF.2.

Absolute Analog Speed Control AbSPd
Digital Speed Selection d SPd
Analog Speed Control A SPd
Analog Torque Control A tor
Analog Speed Control SErSP
Binary Speed Selection bnSPd

5.4 Entering The Operating Data

The COMBIVERT drive utilizes robust algorithms for controlling the
motor, therefore even with minimum information about the motor, good
performance can still be achieved. However a few basic parameters are
required. Their adjustment is outlined below. For purposes of identifying
the type of motor in use the following convention will be utilized in this
manual. AC induction motors will be referred to as “IM” and AC permanent
magnet synchronous motor will be referred to as “PM”

Before you begin to enter the motor data verify that parameter LF.3 is
set to conF configuration.

The COMBIVERT Drive is capable of driving either induction motors,

referred to from here on as “IM” or permanent magnet motors referred
to from here on as “PM”

Verify in LF. 4 that the correct motor configuration is loaded and then
follow the steps listed below based on what type of motor you have.

5.5 Induction Motors

5.5.1 Motor Overload The COMBIVERT drive is capable of providing solid state motor overload
protection. If it is desired that the drive provide this protection, turn the
function “on” in parameter LF.08. Then adjust the motor full load amps
(FLA) in parameter LF.09. Enter the IM power (hp) in LF.10.

55
 Initial Start Up

5.5.2 Induction Motor Enter the motor rated speed (rpm) in LF.11. For IM this value is not
Data the synchronous speed but the full load rpm which is always less than
synchronous speed. An example is a 6 pole motor; the synchronous speed
is 1200 rpm but the rated speed is lower, about 1165 rpm. If the rated speed
is not listed on the nameplate then the value can be approximated as the
synchronous speed less 2.9%, so 1200 rpm - 35 rpm = 1165 rpm.

Enter the rated FLA of the motor in parameter LF.12.

Enter the rated nameplate frequency in parameter LF.13. In some cases

manufacturers of induction motors de-rate the motor by changing the
frequency to something less than 60hz, i.e. 40Hz. In this case enter
the nameplate value of 40Hz. Most gearless motors will have a very low
frequency in the range of 8 to 30 Hz. Enter the frequency as indicated on
the motor nameplate.

In LF.14 enter the rated motor voltage. For IM this is the AC voltage at the
rated frequency, i.e. 230V or 480V.

The IM power factor can be entered in LF.15. If this value is not known use the
default value of 0.90. This parameter sets the pre control for the magnetizing
current level. Higher values result in lower magnetizing current. For older
existing high slip or two speed motors use a value of 0.95.

The field weakening speed in LF.16 is calculated by the drive. It may be

necessary to adjust it later once the elevator is in operation and running at
high speed. For now leave it at the calculated value.

LF.17 is the motor rated torque. With IM this value is calculated and is only
for reference.

Entry of the IM motor data is now complete!

For best performance the motor model of the induction motor must be
5.5.3 Auto-Tuning
measured by the drive. Use the following steps to complete the measurement
Induction Motors
for induction motors.

Set up
1) Make sure the rated motor power (LF.10), rated motor speed (LF.11),
rated motor current (LF.12), rated motor frequency (LF.13), rated motor
voltage (LF.14) and rated power factor (LF.15) are entered into the drive
before you begin. If the power factor is not on the name plate use 0.90
as the value.
2) Remove one brake wire from the controller or reduce the brake pick voltage
level, preventing it from picking.
56
 Initial Start Up

3) If the controller is providing the speed command via analog or serial

command, set the inspection speed value to zero in the controller to
zero. If the drive is providing the command there is no need to change
the inspection speed in the drive.

Learn Process
1) Set LF.3 = S Lrn. This will start the learn process.
2) The display will change to StArt.
3) Press and hold inspection up. The motor contactor should pull in and the
brake should not pick. Motor current will begin to flow, an audible noise
in the motor will be heard, and the drive display will change to LS103 .
4) The drive will measure various parameters in the motor as well as in the
drive’s own power stage. During each measurement the display will
change to signify what is being measured. In the event of problems during
the measurement phase the factory can use the codes to determine what
is happening.
5) Continue holding the inspection switch ON until the drive displays done.
8) Release the inspection switch, the drive will finish by making several
calculations, CALC, and updating the parameters values with the
measured values.
AUTO TUNE COMPLETE!
Errors: In the event the drive can not complete the measurements two

i
error messages may occur.

FAILd : the drive is not able to begin measurements due to a configuration

error. Consult the factory to resolve.

FAIL : the measurement sequence was interrupted, i.e. the inspection

switch was release prematurely, electrically the motor was not properly
connected, or the controller dropped the enabled signal to the drive.
Verify if the controller is droping the signal by first setting LF.3 to conf
and try again. If the controller still drops the enable and the motor
contactor, the problem lies in the controller.

E.ccd: the measurement of one of the motor paramters was not possible.
Repeat the process and not what code is display just before the error
occurs. Then contact the manufacture for assistance. In some cases
the error can be avoided by preadjusting some motor data.


Remember to put the drive back into run mode in LF.3 and return the
controller adjustments to the previous values!
Reconnect the brake wire!

 Initial Start Up
5.6 PM Synchronous Motors
5.6.1 Motor Overload The COMBIVERT drive is capable of providing solid state motor overload
protection. If it is desired that the drive provide this protection, turn the
function “on” in parameter LF.08. The drive uses the motor current from
LF.12. As the trigger level.

5.6.2 Motor Data Depending on the motor manufacturer and the installed encoder, it may be
possible to read all motor data from the encoder and preset all data to the
manufacturer’s values therefore eliminating the need to adjust the motor data.
Refer to section 5.8.3 for a description of this process. Otherwise proceed
with the adjustment steps below.

The PM motor power (hp) in LF.10 is calculated from the speed (LF.11) and
torque (LF.17). This value is for reference only.

Enter the motor rated speed (rpm) in LF.11. Note in some cases this speed
may be faster than the actual speed the motor will turn at. This parameter
must agree with parameters LF.13 based on the following equation. Do not
round the numbers enter exactly what is calculated.
Rated Freq. x 120 = Rated Speed
no. of poles

Enter the rated FLA of the motor in parameter LF.12.

Enter the rated nameplate frequency in parameter LF.13. Again refer to the
calculation above. Do not round this value enter exactly what is calculated.

In LF.14 enter the rated, no load, motor back EMF rms phase to phase
voltage. Follow the steps in section 5.6.3 to measure this value.

LF.17 is the motor rated torque. For PM motors enter the rated motor torque
in lbft. If this value is not listed on the motor you can calculate it as follows.
HP x 5258 = lbft (HP and rpm from motor nameplate)
rpm

KW x 7043 = lbft (KW and rpm from motor nameplate)

rpm

LF.18 is the motor stator phase to phase resistance. Follow the steps in
section 5.6.3 to measure this value.

LF.19 is the motor stator leakage inductance. Follow the steps in section
5.6.3 to measure this value.

Entry of the PM motor data is now complete!

58
 Initial Start Up
5.6.3 Auto-Tuning PM For best performance the resistance and the inductance of the PM motor
motors must be measured by the drive. Use the following steps to complete the
measurement for PM synchronous motors.

Set up
1) Make sure the rated motor speed (LF.11), rated motor current (LF.12),
rated motor frequency (LF.13), rated motor torque (LF.17) and contract
speed (LF.20) are entered into the drive before you begin.
2) Remove one brake wire from the controller or reduce the brake pick
voltage level, preventing it from picking.
3) If the controller is providing the speed command via analog or serial
command, set the inspection speed value to zero in the controller to
zero. If the drive is providing the command there is no need to change
the inspection speed in the drive.

Learn Process
1) Set LF.3 = S Lrn. This will start the learn process.
2) The display will change to StArt.
3) Press and hold inspection up. The motor contactor should pull in and the
brake should not pick. Motor current will begin to flow, an audible noise
in the motor will be heard, and the drive display will change to LS103 .
4) The drive will measure various parameters in the motor as well as in the
drive’s own power stage. During each measurement the display will
change to signify what is being measured. In the event of problems during
the measurement phase the factory can use the codes to determine
what is happening.
5) Continue holding the inspection switch ON until the drive displays
done.
8) Release the inspection switch, the drive will finish by making several
calculations, CALC, and updating the parameters values with the
measured values.
AUTO TUNE COMPLETE!


Remember to put the drive back into run mode in LF.3 and return the
controller adjustments to the previous values!
Reconnect the brake wire!

Errors: In the event the drive can not complete the measurements two

i
error messages may occur.

FAILd : the drive is not able to begin measurements due to a

configuration error. Consult the factory to resolve.
59
 Initial Start Up

i
FAIL : the measurement sequence was interrupted, i.e. the inspection
switch was release prematurely, or the controller dropped the
enabled signal to the drive. Verify if the controller is droping the
signal by first setting LF.3 to conf and try again. If the controller
still drops the enable and the motor contactor, the problem lies in
the controller.

E.ccd: the measurement of one of the motor paramters was not
possible. Repeat the process and not what code is display just before
the error occurs. Then contact the manufacture for assistance. In
some cases the error can be avoided by preadjusting some motor
data.

5.7 Machine Data It is necessary to enter the machine data such that the drive can establish
the relationship between linear travel, ft/min and rotary speed in rpm at
the motor.

Enter the job contract speed in parameter LF.20.

Then enter the sheave diameter in LF.21. If this value is not known, it
can be measured with a tape measure. Some sheave manufacturers
will show the “Minimum Groove Diameter” on a plate attached to the
sheave. This is the diameter to the bottom of the groove, which is normally
about one inch smaller than the actual diameter at which the rope lies.
Therefore, when this dimension is provided, add one inch to it and enter
that value into LF.21.

LF.22 is the machine gear ratio. It is often listed on the machine as a ratio
of gear teeth such as 55:2. In this case divide the ratio (55/2 = 27.5) and
enter the value. If the ratio is not known, skip ahead to LF.23 and then
see LF.25 for an estimated gear ratio which can be entered into LF.22.
Remember for gearless jobs the gear ratio is 1.00.

LF.23 is the roping ratio. For most geared applications it is 1:1. For
gearless application the rope ratio is typically 2 but can be higher.

LF.24 is the car rated capacity in lbs.

LF.25 is the estimated gear ratio. If the gear ratio is not known, take the
value from LF.25 and enter it into LF.22.

Set up for the machine is complete!

5.8 Encoder
Feedback Parameters LF.26...LF.29 and optionally parameters LF.76 and LF.77 are
used to establish the encoder feedback.
5.8.1 Encoder card
verification The most important point is to verify that the installed feedback card matches
the encoder type on the motor. The drive supports many different types
of encoders, some of which require different feedback cards as options.
Parameter 0.LF.26 displays the type of encoder feedback card which is
currently installed. From the list below verify the encoder interface on the
drive matches the encoder on the motor.

0.LF.26 Type of encoder card installed in the drive

rESoL Resolver
HIPEr Hiperface
Inc24 15-24V HTL incremental
IncIE 5V TTL incremental
SinCo Sine Cosine
I24PE 15-24V HTL incremental
EndAt EnDat Encoder
PHASE UVW Encoder

61
 Initial Start Up

5.8.2 Encoder serial ENDAT, HIPERFACE, and SIN/COS-SSI encoders support serial
com. verification communication between the encoder card on the drive and the encoder.
This serial communication transmits the digital position value and well as
other data about the motor and the encoder. The encoder can trigger
faults and advise the drive of the problem. Therefore with these types of
encoders it is necessary to verify that serial communication is functioning
normally. Parameter 2.LF.26, displays the status of the encoder / encoder
interface. When everything is functioning normally the display will show
conn. If there is an error, the drive will first stop operation with an E.ENCC
error and then will display the encoder error code from 2.LF.26 and then
a text message representing the code. All diagnostics of the encoder
interface should be handled through parameter 2.LF26. For more
information refer to parameter LF.26.

5.8.3 Loading motor When ENDAT or HIPERFACE encoders are used on PM motors, the
data from encoder motor manufacturer may pre-load the encoder with the motor data at the
factory. In this case the motor data as well as commutation position, can
then be read out from the encoder and loaded into the drive, and thus
simplify the set up and commissioning process.

Parameter 3.LF.26 allows the motor data in the encoder to be loaded

into the drive.

Reading motor data from the encoder

1) go to parameter 2.LF26 and verify serial communication is OK. Display
should show conn.
2) go to parameter 3.LF.26 and press function. The display should show
IdLE.
3) press the up arrow and the display will change to rdEnc
4) press enter and the display will change to no
5) press the up arrow and the display will change to YES
6) press enter and the display will change to rEAd. The drive will then
read the data from the encoder, update the motor parameters and reload
all drive data.

This process will load motor parameters LF.10...LF.19, LF.27, LF.34...

LF.35 and LF.77. Since the commutation position (LF.77) is also loaded
this process eliminates the need to learn the position. Therefore refer
only to section 5.11.4 regarding the start up of a PM motor.

62
 Initial Start Up

5.8.4 Other encoder Enter in LF.27 the pulses per revolution of the encoder, i.e. 1024, 2048,
adjustments 4096 etc.

LF.28 can be used to swap the encoder channels such that the encoder is
incrementally counting in the same direction as the motor. Initially leave this
parameter set to 0 or no reversal. Whether or not reversal is necessary will
be determined later in section 5.11

LF.29 sets the sample time for the speed measurement. Initially the default
setting of 4 mSec will work fine.

Set up of the encoder is complete!

5.9 Controller The speed and torque controller are adjusted in parameters LF.30 through
Settings LF.36. For initial start up the default settings will work. Once the elevator is
running at high speed, it might be necessary to come back to adjust LF.31...
LF.33. Parameters LF.34 and 35 are adjusted automatically by the drive and
should require no adjustment by the user.

LF.30 is the one parameter which will need to be adjusted for initial operation.
If operating open loop set LF.30 = 0 and if operation is closed loop speed or
torque control initially set LF.30 = 2. Once the proper direction of rotation
is established LF.30 can be changed to a value of 4 if torque control is
ultimately desired.

Set up of the controller is complete!

5.10 Speed and The speeds are adjusted through parameters LF.41...LF.47. The profile is
adjusted through parameters LF.50...LF.56.
Profile Settings
When operating with digital speed selection and control, each speed must
be adjusted respectively.

LF.41 = Leveling speed LF.42 = High speed

LF.43 = Inspection speed LF.44 = high leveling speed
LF.45 = intermediate speed 1
LF.46 = intermediate speed 2
LF.47 = intermediate speed 3

The default settings listed on page 106 for the profile parameters LF.50...
LF.56 are a good place to start. When operating with analog speed or torque
control, only high speed must be adjusted to the contract speed value. In
selecting analog control in parameter LF.2, the profile generator in the drive
is automatically turned off.

Set up of the speeds and profiles are complete!

 Initial Start Up

5.11 Running the Motor

5.11.1 Absolute Encoder The following will outline the procedure for aligning an absolute encoder
Setup (no ropes) to the pole of a permanent magnet motor and the following encoders:
Hiperface, Endat, SIN/COS. The motor must be mounted in place and
HIPERFACE, ENDAT,
be electrically connected to the elevator controller. The motor encoder
SIN/COS Encoders
must also be connected to the controller. The motor must be able to
spin freely either by mechanically releasing the brake or through normal
electrical release.

i
If at any point during the set up process, if the drive should give the
error E.ENCC, the display will change automatically to 2.LF.26 and
display the error code from the encoder. Refer to parameter LF.26
for further information.

Initial Steps
1) Verify the motor is correctly connected to the drive, i.e. phase U->U,
V->V, W->W. With PM motors you can not have an arbitrary phasing.
If direction reversal is required, the system direction can be reversed
in LF.28 after the pole position is learned.
2) Verify the correct mode of operation. LF.4 should be set to either PCLSd
or P9LSS. If this is not the case see parameter US.10 to change the
configuration mode.
3) If not already done, enter the motor nameplate data and machine
data in parameters LF.10 to LF.25. Learn the motor with the auto tune
function, see sections 5.6.2 and 5.6.3.
4) Verify the correct encoder feedback card is installed in the drive. See
parameter 0.LF.26. Enter the encoder ppr in parameter LF.27. Make
sure the sample time (LF.29) is set to 4mSec.

Alignment Process
1) Set LF.3 = P Lrn. The display should confirm with StArt

2) Press and hold the inspection up switch. Motor current will begin to
flow in one phase and the current will ramp up to the motor’s rated
value. The motor sheave should turn slowly and then stop when the
motor rotor has lined up with one of the motor poles. The display
should show the actual position value of the encoder. As the motor
moves this value will change. When the motor rotor has aligned with
a pole, the value will stabilize. At this point, the alignment has been
found.

Continue holding the inspection switch as the drive will then try to
move the motor clockwise and counter clockwise to verify the motor’s
rotation is consistent with the encoder’s. The motor should return to
nearly the same position.
64
 Initial Start Up

If the motor keeps rotating for more than 30 seconds, the phasing between
the encoder and the motor is not correct. Change LF.28 as described in
step 4 below and repeat the process.

4) If the drive triggers the error E.ENC1, the encoder’s counting maybe
backwards. Release the inspection switch. The drive will then automatically
swap the encoder channels by changing the value of LF.28 and then
display retry. Go back to step 2.

If the drive displays E.ENC1 again the motor is not able to rotate freely.
Release the inspection switch and verify the brake is opening completely
and that there is not excessive friction. The sheave should be able to turn
by hand. Verify the motor phasing U to U, V to V etc.

If it is still not possible to learn the position try the old method by setting
LF.3 = conf and LF.77 to 2206.

5) Once the this process is complete, donE will be displayed. Release the
inspection switch and make note of the final position number from LF.77
in the job information. This position number is valid only for this motor
and encoder. If the encoder is physically removed from the motor, this
process will need to be done again.

Return to Normal Operation

1) Put the drive into run mode by setting LF.3 to run.

2) Run the motor on inspection up and down. The speed displayed in LF.89
should be stable and should match the command speed value in LF.88.
Additionally the motor current in LF.93 should be near zero. If the current
is not near zero (< 5 amps), the pole position may be off. Try to relearn
the position by repeating the alignment process.

3) If the motor rotates in the wrong direction refer to section 5.11.4 to reverse
the system rotation.

4) If the motor uses an EnDat or HIPERFACE encoder, the values may now
be stored in the encoder. Refer to parameter 3.LF.26.

5) For high speed runs under load, it may be necessary to raise 0.LF36 to
a higher value. This value should not be set to a value higher than the
motor manufacturer’s peak torque value, usually 2.0 to 2.4 times the
motor’s rated torque.

 Initial Start Up

5.11.2 Absolute Encoder The following will outline the procedure for aligning an absolute encoder for
Setup (with ropes) use with a permanent magnet motor and the following encoders: HIPERFACE,
ENDAT, SIN/COS. The motor must be mounted in place and be electrically
connected to the elevator controller. The motor encoder must also be
connected to the drive. In this case the ropes are already on the motor.

i
At a certain point in the process, it will be necessary to put balanced
load into the car to carry out this adjustment.

If at any point during the set up process, if the drive should give the
error E.ENCC, the display will change automatically to 2.LF.26 and
display the error code from the encoder. Refer to parameter LF.26 for
further information.

Initial Steps
1) Verify the motor is correctly connected to the drive, i.e. phase U->U,
V->V, W->W. With PM motors you can not have an arbitrary phasing.
If direction reversal is required, the system direction can be reversed in
LF.28 after the pole position is learned.
2) Verify the correct mode of operation. LF.4 should be set to either PCLSd
or P9LSS. If this is not the case see parameter US.10 to change the
configuration mode.
3) If not already done, enter the motor nameplate data and machine data in
parameters LF.10 to LF.25. Learn the motor with the auto tune function,
see sections 5.6.2 and 5.6.3.
4) Verify the correct encoder feedback card is installed in the drive. See
parameter 0.LF.26. Enter the encoder ppr in parameter LF.27. Make sure
the sample time (LF.29) is set to 4mSec.

Balancing the car

The following steps are necessary if the car is not at floor level and the
weights can not be loaded into the car. Therefore it is necessary to drive
the car to a floor.
1) Adjust parameter 0.LF.36 equal to LF.17.
2) Set the inspection speed to a relatively low value 10-15ft/min.
3) Adjust parameter LF.77 to 16,000.
4) Try to run the car on inspection up or down. (note the motor will make a
loud noise and the control of the motor will be poor.
5) If the car fails to move go back to step 3 and change the value to 32,000,
48,000, or 64,000. Try to move the car again after each value.
6) Once you find a value which gives some movement you may need to add
or subtract 8,000 to increase the torque output of the motor (i.e. you can
move a little but the motor does not seem to have enough torque).
7) At this point if there is a long distance to cover in the hoist way, the
inspection speed can be raised to a higher value.

Balance the car such that when the brake opens, the car does not move at all.
It might be necessary to let the car drift until it reaches an equilibrium.
66
 Initial Start Up

Alignment Process
1) Set LF.3 = P Lrn. The display should confirm with StArt

2) Press and hold the inspection up switch. Motor current will begin to flow in one
phase and the current will ramp up to the motor’s rated value. The motor sheave
should turn slowly and then stop when the motor rotor has lined up with one of the
motor poles. The display should show the actual position value of the encoder. As
the motor moves this value will change. When the motor rotor has aligned with a
pole, the value will stabilize. At this point, the alignment has been found.

Continue holding the inspection switch as the drive will then try to move the motor
clockwise and counter clockwise to verify the motor’s rotation is consistent with
the encoder’s. The motor should return to nearly the same position.

If the motor keeps rotating for more than 30 seconds, the phasing between the
encoder and the motor is not correct. Change LF.28 as described in step 4 below
and repeat the process.

4) If the drive triggers the error E.ENC1, the encoder’s counting maybe backwards.
Release the inspection switch. The drive will then automatically swap the encoder
channels by changing the value of LF.28 and then display retry. Go back to step
2.

If the drive displays E.ENC1 again the motor is not able to rotate freely. Release
the inspection switch and verify the brake is opening completely and that there
is not excessive friction. The sheave should be able to turn by hand. Verify the
motor phasing U to U, V to V etc.

If it is still not possible to learn the position try the old method by setting LF.3 =
conf and LF.77 to 2206.

5) Once the this process is complete, donE will be displayed. Release the inspection
switch and make note of the final position number from LF.77 in the job information.
This position number is valid only for this motor and encoder. If the encoder is
physically removed from the motor, this process will need to be done again.

Return to Normal Operation

1) Put the drive into run mode by setting LF.3 to run.

2) Run the motor on inspection up and down. The speed displayed in LF.89 should
be stable and should match the command speed value in LF.88. Additionally the
motor current in LF.93 should be near zero. If the current is not near zero (< 5
amps), the pole position may be off. Try to relearn the position by repeating the
alignment process.

3) If the motor rotates in the wrong direction refer to section 5.11.4 to reverse the
system rotation.
67
 Initial Start Up

4) If the motor uses an EnDat or HIPERFACE encoder, the values may now
be stored in the encoder. Refer to parameter 3.LF.26.

5) For high speed runs under load, it may be necessary to raise 0.LF36 to
a higher value. This value should not be set to a value higher than the
motor manufacturer’s peak torque value, usually 2.0 to 2.4 times the
motor’s rated torque.

5.11.3 Absolute Encoder

Position Verification

Verification of the encoder position.

Friction and the inertial load of the cab and counter weights can lead to a
small error in the actual position value. The following procedure will verify
whether the position is correct or not.

1) Set 0.LF.36 = to two times LF.17.

2) Pick two floors in the middle of the shaft which are far enough apart such
that the car reaches contract speed

3) Run the car between these floors and monitor LF.94 (peak phase current).
Note the peak value for both the up and down run. The stored maximum
value is cleared by pressing the down arrow. Make several runs to
establish the average value in each direction.

4) Add 2000 to the value in LF.77 and run the car again between the same
two floors. If the current value goes down then go to step 5. If the current
value goes up go to step 6.

5) Add 2000 more to the value in LF.77 and run the car again. If the peak
current in LF.94 goes down further, add 2000 more and try again. Keep
doing this until the motor current begins to rise again. The value with
the lowest current is the best value. Jump to step 7.

6) If the current went up initially, then lower LF.77 by 2000 and run the car
again. If the peak current in LF.94 goes down further, subtract 2000
more and try again. Keep doing this until the motor current begins to rise
again. The value with the lowest current is the best value.

7) Return the value of LF.77 to the value which gave the lowest current.
Make note of this value in the job information for future reference.

 Initial Start Up

5.11.4 Encoder It is necessary to determine whether or not the motor encoder is in

Synchronization phase with the rotation of the motor. As an example the motor is turning
TTL, HTL, SIN/COS clockwise and the encoder is indicating clockwise rotation. The problem
Encoders with induction comes when the encoder indicates rotation opposite to the actual rotation
motors of the motor. Depending on whether the system is operating in speed
control mode or torque control mode it will be necessary to follow one of
the following two procedures.

Speed Control, LF.30 = 2

To determine whether or not the encoder is aligned with the motor run the
car on inspection in both the up and down direction. If the motor turns
out of control, at the wrong speed, or the current going to the motor (see
LF.93) is greater than the motor FLA, the encoder is reversed. This can
be corrected by adjusting parameter LF.28 from 0 to 1.

Run the car again in both the up and down direction. The motor should
now be running in a controlled manner but possibly in the wrong direction,
meaning up inspection drives the car down or down inspection drives the
car up. Parameter LF.28 can also be used to correct this. If LF.28 = 0
then change the value to 2. If LF.28 = 1 then change the value to 3. Now
the motor should be controlled and run in the correct direction.

Torque Control, LF.30 = 4

To determine whether or not the encoder is aligned with the motor run
the car on inspection in both the up and down direction. If the motor
turns out of control, at the wrong speed, or the current going to the motor
(see LF.93) is greater than the motor FLA, the encoder is reversed.
This can be corrected by adjusting parameter LF.28. You will need to
try all possible settings, LF.28 = 0,1,2,3. One of them should give you
controlled operation of the motor and motor current below the FLA of the
motor. However the direction of travel of the car in the hoist way may
be reversed. If this is the case change LF.28 as described below and
reverse the speed reference direction in the elevator controller.

Changes to LF.28 to reverse car direction

0 -> 2 1 -> 3
or or
2 -> 0 3 -> 1

Changes to LF.28 to reverse encoder counting direction

0 -> 1 2 -> 3

e) Digital serial communication LF.02 = SErSP

Serial communication is used to operate the drive in speed control
mode. The cyclic serial update rate at 56kbps is about 11mSec.
The default serial parameter channel assignments are listed below.
Other assignments are possible and are freely assigned via the serial
communication. Consult the manufacture for more information on
implementing this control scheme.

Digital commands to the drive

The command speed is a 16 bit signed value representing the motor
speed.

The control word is a 16 bit value which is used to digitally activate

the inputs (enable, direction, reset, etc).

The pre-torque is an 11 bit signed value which is used to provide

roll back compensation.

Digital commands from the drive

The actual speed is a 16 bit signed value representing the actual
motor speed as measured by the encoder.

The status word provides the status of the drive in addition to the
output conditions.

The actual torque provides the torque value back to the controller.

 Once in run mode, the drive must see a serial communication

request at the X6C serial port at minimum every 50mSec. If not
the drive will trigger an E.BUS fault.

Clearing an E.BUS error while in serial com mode. When in this

mode, if the controller stops communication with the drive, it
may not be possible to clear the E.BUS fault and view other

The internal fault will not reset until the serial communication
has been reestablished

f) Binary coded set speed selection LF.02 = bnSPd

Binary speed setting uses preset digital values in the drive as com-
mand speeds. The drive creates the driving profile between selected
speeds. The inputs are binary coded to allow up to seven speeds.
Additionally in this mode, more advanced and multiple profiles can
be established. See parameters LF.41...LF.56. One speed can be
pre-defined as an emergency run speed in which the drive operates
automatically under emergency operation conditions. See parameter
LF.61 for more details.

Drive fault auto reset The number adjusted in this parameter determines how many times
per hour the elevator drive will automatically reset faults. Before
resetting the fault, the drive will wait 4 seconds to allow everything
to stop or stabilize. It is not fault specific, so with the default setting
of 5, if the drive experiences 6 different faults in one hour the unit

The following parameters configure the COMBIVERT Elevator Drive to the particular
motor. Correct adjustment of these parameters is critical for proper operation of the
system. Depending on the mode of operation the units and or range of acceptable
values may change. Parameters LF10 through LF.19 have dual functions depending
on the type of motor.

For induction motor configuration modes the parameter

information will be indicated with the symbol
IM

For synchronous permanent magnet motors, configuration mode

the parameter info will be indicated with the symbol PM

This parameter sets the current threshold in amps above which the
IM Elevator drive activates the motor overload function.

Unit: ampere

Value range: 1.0...1.1 x drive rated current
current
Default setting: 8.0A
Adjustment value: in accordance with motor nameplate

For PM motors the current threshold for electronic motor protection

PM is set equal to the rated motor current in LF.12. Some motors must
be protected from long term peak current to prevent damage to the
motor windings. This parameter is then used to limit the peak current
to the motor. If the motor current exceeds this value for longer than
3.0 seconds, the drive will automatically trigger the error E.OH2 and
shut down operation.

When adjusting the rated motor current in LF.12, this value is

automatically set to 3 times the value of LF.12. After setting LF.12,
this parameter can then be adjusted based on the max. current
allowed by the motor manufacturer.

Unit: ampere
Value range: 1.0... drive peak current
Default setting: 3 times LF.12
Adjustment value: in accordance with the motor

of the elevator, resulting in shut downs.

IM Value range : 10.0....6000.0 or 500.0
(based on config mode)
Rated motor speed
Default setting: 1165.0 or 150.0
(based on config mode)

Adjustment value: in accordance with the motor name

plate


You may not enter the motor-synchronous speed (e.g. 1800
rpm for a 4 pole motor, 1200 rpm for a 6 pole motor, and 900
rpm for a 8 pole motor). Ask the manufacturer for the motor
rated speed if you cannot find it on the name plate or use
the following example to estimate the rated speed.

Example: If the name plate reads 1200 rpm (synchronous

speed) then the value that should be entered must
be lower. For starting purposes, one can estimate
the slip at about 2.9%. Then through running the
elevator it is possible to determine whether further
adjustments are necessary. 2.9% of 1200 is 35 rpm.
So for starting, use the value 1200 - 35 = 1165 rpm
which is the default value.

LF.11 Valid Adjustment Range From this parameter along with the rated frequency in LF.13,
for 60Hz motors the COMBIVERT Elevator Drive calculates the number of motor
poles. As a result there are
limits as to how low the value 4 poles 1201...1799 rpm
can be adjusted for a motor 6 poles 901...1199 rpm
with a certain number of poles.
8 poles 721...899 rpm
Refer to the table to the right
for the valid adjustment range 10 poles 601...719 rpm

For permanent magnet synchronous motors there is no slip.

Therefore the value entered must be exactly the synchronous

i
Note: On older software versions this parameter displayed
volts peak at 1000 rpm. So the value was significantly higher
(i.e. greater than 1000V). When upgrading to the newer soft-
ware this value must be recalculated using the new method
(Vrms at rated speed)

To convert the old value from V1.3 to the new value for V1.6
use the following equation:

V1.6 value for LF.14 = V1.3 value x LF.11

1000 x 1.414
This value is measured during auto tuning and will provide the
best value.

This parameter is not the efficiency of the motor but the ratio of
IM the magnetizing current to the total phase current of the motor.
Lower power factor values will increase the magnetizing cur-
Power factor rent to the motor and thus increase the field strength resulting in
tighter control of the motor. Higher values decrease the magne-
tizing current and the field strength.

Unit: 1
Value range: 0.50...1.00
Default setting: 0.90
Adjustment value: in accordance with the motor name plate

Note: If not known, a value of 0.9 is recommended for old high

slip motors and a value of 0.65 is recommended for gearless
induction motors.

PM For PM motors this parameter is not required and therefore is not

visible.
83
 Parameter Description - Motor Data

The field weakening speed determines at which speed the peak

IM torque limit starts being reduced. It is necessary to reduce the peak
torque limit of the motor since the drive’s ability to force current
Field weakening speed into the motor is limited by the applied voltage as rated speed is
reached.

If the drive tries to demand more torque than the motor can produce
given the available voltage and actual motor speed, it is possible
that the breakdown torque of the motor will be exceeded and as
a result the motor will appear to stall and run at less than desired
speed.

Generally this phenomenon can be identified as the car reaches

contract speed momentarily but then drops to a lower speed or the
car speed stalls at some speed lower than contact speed. Monitor
parameter ru.42. If the value is reaching 100% or higher, the votlage
limit is being reached. As a result the peak torque command must
be further limited in order to maintain control of the motor.

The solution is simply to reduce the value of LF.16 to about 60% of

synchronous speed (720 rpm for a 1200 rpm motor). A setting of
45% of synchronous speed should be used as the practical lower
limit of this parameter.

Unit: rpm
Value range: 0.0...6000 rpm
Default setting: 960.0 rpm
Initial adjustment value: approx. 80% of synchronous

For PM motors this parameter is not necessary and therefore

PM is not visible.

IM operation and will not be visible in these modes.

PM motor resistance For PM motors enter the phase to phase resistance value.
Some motor manufacturers list the per phase value therefore
PM you must multiply by two. This value can also be measured
by the drive’s auto-tune function, see parameter LF.3. Incorrect
settings of this parameter could lead to oscillation in the current
control and audible noise in the motor, since the regulator values
for the current control are calculated from this value.

Unit: ohms
Value range: 0.000...49.999

This information is not used for induction motors and therefore

IM the parameter is not visible in induction motor mode.
PM motor inductance

This is the total phase to phase reflected leakage inductance of

PM the motor winding. The inductance listed on the manufacturer’s
data sheet will most likely be for one phase. So it will be necessary
to multiply the value by two and then enter it into the drive. This
value can also be measured by the drive’s auto-tune function,
see parameter LF.3. Incorrect settings of this parameter could
lead to oscillation in the current control since the regulator values
for the current control are calculated from this value.

The ratio can be determined by counting the revolutions of the
motor during one rev of the traction sheave.

Once the car is running on high speed, if the measured speed

is slightly above or below the contract speed, the gear ratio can
be changed slightly to compensate. Higher values in LF.22 will
increase the car speed, lower values will decrease the car speed.

Then to verify, run the car at inspection speed, measure the
actual speed with a hand tach. If the car speed is slower than the
adjusted inspection speed (LF.43), then increase LF.22. If it is
higher then the adjusted inspection speed, decrease LF.22.

This parameter reads or writes data from or to the encoder. It is only

supported by HIPERFACE or EnDAt encoders.

When the encoder is supplied pre installed from the motor manufacturer,
the motor manufacturer can store the motor data information in the encoder.
This allows the end user to simply read out the motor data from the encoder
and thus avoid having to enter the motor data, auto tune the motor, or learn
the encoder position.

 Follow the procedure carefully as it is possible to overwrite the stored

data with no chance to recover the stored values.

 Parameter Description - Encoder Set Up

Unit: pulse per revolution

Value range: 256...16384 pulse per revolution
Encoder pulse number
Default setting: 1024 pulse per revolution
Adjustment value: in accordance with the manufacturer
specifications


If the incremental encoder pulse number is not
correctly adjusted, the elevator drive can run very
slowly, or over-speed is possible or other unforeseen
conditions may occur. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary to adjust this parameter correctly.

This parameter can be used to swap the two encoder channels, reverse
the direction of the entire system, or both swap encoder channel and
Encoder channel swap / reverse the system direction. See also section 5.11.4

Value range: 0...3
Default setting: 0
Adjustment value: 0 nothing reversed
1 encoder change A <--> B swapped
2 motor rotation reversed
3 motor rotation reverse and A<-->B

This parameter is used to adjust the sample time of the encoder

feedback for calculation of the actual motor speed value. With certain
Encoder sample time motors or encoders it may be beneficial to use a time other than the
factory setting. Lower values lead to higher bandwidth and faster
response times of the motor. However lower values also increase
the systems susceptibility to electrical noise on the encoder signal.
Therefore on some systems having higher noise levels, lower values
may not be suitable. If this electrical noise is a problem, the motor will
produce an audible noise while running.

Unit: -
Value range: 0_5, 1, 2, 4 , 8, 16, 32 mSec
Default setting: 4 mSec
Adjusted value: based on application requirements

Example: with a 4 mSec sample time the resulting speed measurement

resolution using a 1024 encoder is +/-3.5 rpm. A setting of 8 mSec
gives +/-1.8 rpm.

With Sin/Cos, Hiperface, EnDat encoders see also parameter LF.76

for extended resolution adjustments.

 Parameter Description - Control Settings

Used in conjunction with LF.2 to adjust the control method.

Control Mode Unit: 1

Value range: 0...5
Default setting: 0

Adjustment values
0 Open loop induction motor operation for construction, inspection
and test purposes only.
1 Open loop induction motor operation with sensorless motor
management, Valid when LF.2 = AbSPd, d SPd, A SPd, SErSP,
bnSPd
2 Closed loop speed control. Valid when LF.2 = AbSPd,
d SPd, A SPd, SErSP, bnSPd
3 Closed loop speed control with pre-torque input active. Valid when
LF.2 = AbSPd, d SPd, A SPd and using a load weight system
to provide a pre-torque signal to the drive. Analog inputs X2A.3
and X2A.4 serve as the pre-torque input.
4 Closed loop torque control. Valid when LF.2 = A tor. Both ana-
log inputs serve as torque inputs and are internally summed to-
gether.
5 Closed loop speed control with synthesized pre-torque. Valid
when LF.2 = AbSPd, d SPd, A SPd, SErSP, bnSPd. Provide a
synthesized pre-torque without a load weigher. See parameters
US.17, US.18, US.31 and US.32 for further adjustment.

i
When using induction motors, the COMBIVERT F5 can be run open loop in
inspection to verify whether the encoder functions normally. By setting the
parameter LF.30 = 0, the inverter runs the motor open loop. The encoder
feedback (motor speed) is displayed in parameter LF.89 but has no effect on
the operation of the motor. Therefore, this mode can be used to verify whether
the encoder is functioning properly. Generally, when running empty car up
the actual motor speed in LF.89 should be equal to the set speed in LF.88. If
these values are off by more than 20 rpm when running empty car up, there is
most likely an encoder or encoder cable problem.

When using permanent magnet synchronous motors only closed loop operation
(2,3,4,5) is permitted.


Running the COMBIVERT open loop, in automatic mode, at high speed or
leveling speed can result in high motor currents and or poor performance.
Always verify that this parameter is set correctly before running in automatic
mode!

 Parameter Description - Control Settings

The proportional gain of the speed controller is split into two values,
one for acceleration and constant run and one for deceleration. This
provides the greatest degree of flexibility. The default values are set

This gain value is effective only at low speeds. This value is added to
the I term gain in LF.32 to provide greater control and more stability.

Ki speed offset accel. This offset acceleration gain will assist the motor in catching the load
during starting. It is especially important for high efficiency geared or
gearless applications. Values of 2,000 to 5,000 are useful.
Ki speed offset decel.
The offset deceleration gain will allow the system track the command
speed tightly at low speed. Often lower values are required than for
starting. Values of 500 to 2,000 are useful.

 Parameter Description - Driving Profile

The run profile is defined by up to seven different speeds and up to three different
sets of accelerations and decelerations. Various combinations of these are
available depending on the mode of control adjusted in parameter LF.2. The
following section describes the adjustment of the speeds and profiles.

Leveling speed. The transition to zero speed is always made using

the jerk adjusted in LF.56. this provides a very smooth approach
to the floor. Acceleration from zero speed uses profile 1.
Leveling speed, SL

Value range: 0...25 ft/min
Default setting: 0 ft/min
Adjustment value: approx. 4 ft/min

High speed. Acceleration from zero speed and deceleration to

101
 Parameter Description - Driving Profile

The run profile is defined by jerks, acceleration, and deceleration. Each jerk, accel
and decel holds three different values and is indexed through the offset number
(lead number in from of the parameter number). These different values make
up three different run profiles which are either assigned based on the selected
speed or through another parameter. The adjustment range for each is the same
although the default values vary.

i
When adjusting a profile, change the offset number first and then go to each
parameter. The profile number will not change when switching between
parameters making it easy to adjust one complete profile. Refer to section
4.3 for selecting the profile number.

In general higher values result in a hard/fast profile, while lower values give
softer, slower transitions.
Empirical values: 2.00...3.00 for retirement homes, hospitals,
apartment buildings
3.00...5.00 for office buildings, banks etc.

When LF.2 is set to AbSPd, A SPd or A Tor, the values of all profiles are
automatically set to the maximum values
“oFF” thus turning off the ramp generator.
When LF.2 is set d SPd or bnSPd the default values are loaded in all
profiles.

Profile 2 is used for emergency operation as selected in parameter LF.61.

Sets jerk at start of the run.

Unit: feet per second3
Value range: (calc. min.1))...32.00 ft/s3 (oFF)
Default values:
Profile 0 = 3.0 ft/s3
Profile 1 = 3.5 ft/s3
Profile 2 = 1.5 ft/s3
Starting jerk

Sets the rate of acceleration.

Unit: feet per second2
Value range: 0.30...12.0 ft/s2 (oFF)
Default values:
Profile 0 = 3.3 ft/s2
Profile 1 = 3.5 ft/s2
Profile 2 = 1.5 ft/s2
Acceleration 1) Calc.min. - The calculated minimum value depends on the value of the
rated of acceleration or deceleration that the jerk must work with. Therefore the
minimum jerk value is limited by the actual adjusted value of the acceleration or
deceleration. If a lower jerk value is required, you must first reduce the rate of
acceleration or deceleration.
102
 Parameter Description - Driving Profile


Important! If the high speed, intermediate speeds or high leveling speeds
are turned off and leveling speed is not activated immediately afterward, the
drive will use the stop jerk in LF.56 for the slowdown profile. This will result
in a very slow deceleration of the car and may cause the car to overshoot the
desired stopping point. Leveling speed must always be activated to ensure
the normal deceleration profile.

 Parameter Description - Driving Profile

Recommended Profile Settings

These are the recommended profile settings for standard 6 pole (1165 rpm) motors with geared
machines. For other motors and gearless these values can also be used as a good starting point
however, further adjustment may be required. The minimum jerk value is limited by the rate of
acceleration or deceleration. If it is not possible to adjust the jerk rate lower, it may be necessary
to lower the respective rate of acceleration or deceleration first and then try to lower the jerk.

 Parameter Description - Special Functions

Triggers a drive warning if the actual motor speed deviates from the com-
manded speed by more than the window defined in parameter LF.58 and
for the length of time defined in LF. 59. This function only works in close
Speed following error loop speed control mode, ie. LF30=2,3 or 5.

Settings: 0 = Off (Use when LF.30 = 4)

1= On, drive indicate speed following error when motor

speed varies from the set speed by the amount in LF.58
and for the time in LF.59, output X2A.18 (or whichever
output is programmed with ASd function).

2= Can be used to trigger an external drive fault when a speed

deviation occurs. For the function to work, a jumper wire
must be connected betwen output X2A.18 (or whichever
output is programmed with ASd function) and the option
input X2A.10. Note however that when this is selected
it is not possible to us the option input to activate emer-
gency power mode from the same input (LF.61 = di 1).
additionally, this function is not available when LF.2 = d
spd. If LF.57 = 2 and the jumper is not present, the drive
will trigger the error E.EF.

Sets the +/- window for the speed following error in percent of the
set speed.

When trying to trouble shoot the cause of this fault, it helps to increase
LF.58 and LF.59 to the maximum values to prevent the fault from
triggering.

 Parameter Description

Determines how the emergency power function is activated. The emergency

power function allows the drive to run off of a UPS or battery back up
Emergency operation system, 460V units can be run from a 230V 1 phase supply. 230V units
mode can be run from a 230V 1 phase supply.

When active the under voltage fault level is reduced to 160VAC. The input
phase failure detection is shut off, and the torque limit is reduced to the
rated torque of the motor.

If a speed is programmed for this function, then whenever the speed is

selected, the drive automatically goes into emergency operation. If the
function is triggered by a digital input (X2A.10), the input must be active
when the drive is enable and must remain active for at least one second.

Settings: Off = no function

SPd1 = Intermediate speed one serves as the emergency

operation speed.
SPd2 = Intermediate speed two serves as the emergency
operation speed.
SPd3 = Intermediate speed three serves as the emergency
operation speed.
di 1 = Digital input X2A.10 activates the emergency operation
(This mode is not possible if LF.57 =2)

i
Note: If a 460V unit is being powered from a 230V UPS system, the
maximum car speed can be 50% of contract speed. Higher speeds
will result in loss of control due to low DC bus voltage

A setting of SPd1, SPd2 or SPd3 can not be used if the one floor
positioning function (LP.1 = P onE) of the drive is activated.

108
 Parameter Description

A car weighing system can be used to provide an analog signal

to the elevator drive which is proportional to the load in the cabin.
When LF.30 is set to 3, this analog signal is used to generate an
Pre-torque gain exact counter torque to hold the car stationary when the brake is
released. This is important for gearless speed control applications.

- 10 V → the car is empty → negative rated torque

0V → car weight + half load
= counterweight → 0
10 V → the car is full → positive rated torque

If the rated torque is too small or too large , it can be increased or

decreased with LF.67.

Unit: -
Value range: 0.25 … 2.00
Default setting: 1
Adjusted value: depends on the required torque

If the counter weight is not 50 % (cabin weight + 50% of max. load),

the pre-torque can be adjusted with LF.68.

Pre-torque offset Unit: %

Value range: – 100.0 % … 100.0 %
Default setting: 0%
Adjusted value: depends on the counter weight

This parameter can be used to invert the direction of the pretorque

being applied to the motor.

Unit: 1
Value range: 0 => +10V = positive torque
1 => -10v = positive torque
Default setting: 0

 Parameter Description

This time delay allows the brake to release before the motor starts
turning. The drive will hold the speed command at zero, including
Speed Start Delay analog commands, for the adjusted time.

Unit: seconds
Value range: 0.0...3.0 s
Default setting: 0.3 s
Adjusted value: 0.3 s

i
Note: When the pre-torque function is active (LF.30 = 3 or 5),
the speed pick delay is the sum of the pre-torque ramp timers
US.17 and US.18. Proper adjustment of these timers will
automatically provide the required speed pick delay.

This time delays the release on the brake when the BRK output is
used in the brake control circuit.

 Parameter Description

This parameter can be used to increase the resolution of encoders

with analog sine/cosine tracks. The encoder types are SIN/COS,
Encoder resolution Hiperface, EnDat.
multiplier
Unit: 1
Value range: 0...13
Default setting: 2 for incremental encoders
8 for Sin/Cos, EnDat, or Hiperface encoders

The value corresponds to the multiplier using the following relation.

Actual Encoder Resolution = Encoder base ppr x 2 (LF76)

Example: Sin/Cos encoder with base resolution of 2048 ppr

With LF.76 = 8 the actual measured resolution is:
2048 x 28 = 524288 counts / rev

Higher values give better resolution especially for gearless applications.

However higher values make the system more susceptible to
disturbances due to noise. Therefore the actual value which can be
used will ultimately be limited by the noise being picked up on the
encoder cable.

This parameter is only visible in closed loop PM motor mode (LF.4

= PCLSd or P9LSS). LF.77 displays the position of the encoder in
relation to one of the motor poles.
Absolute encoder position
Unit: 1
Value range: 0 … 65535h
Default setting: 0
Adjusted value: according to encoder position

If the position value is already known, simply enter the value in this
parameter. If it is not known then follow the procedure in section
5.11.1 to measure the position. If the encoder was pre-programmed
by the motor vendor, this value can be read out from the encoder in
parameter 3.LF.26. Refer to section 5.8.3.





If the position is not known, then the drive will
determine the correct position value. This process
is best done when the motor is free to turn,
i.e. without the ropes on the main sheave.

If the it is not possible to remove the ropes from the sheave then it
can be possible to make this measurement with a balanced car.

See section 5.11.1 and 5.11.2 for learn procedures.

111
 Parameter Description

This parameter determines how long the drive will maintain full
current and control of the motor after the direction inputs, X2A.14
and X2A.15 have been turned off. After the adjusted time, motor
Brake engage time current will continue to flow, however the analog input will be
clamped and the speed control gains will be reduced. This time
should be adjusted longer than the actual required time for the
brake to mechanically drop.

i
Note: when using digital speed selection the selected speed
input must be turned off before or at the same time as the
direction input is turned off. When using analog or serial speed
control, the command speed should be brought to zero before
turning off the direction signal.

Unit: seconds
Value range: 0.00 … 3.00 Seconds
Default setting: 0.50 Seconds

Once the time in LF.78 has expired, current will continue flowing
to the motor, but the drive will ramp the motor torque down to zero
over the time adjusted in LF.79. This provides a smooth transition
Current hold time of the load to the brake and a quiet de-energization of the motor.
This time should be adjusted such that the drive shuts off the
current before the controller drops the drive enable (X2A.16) and
opens the motor contactor. If the drive enable is dropped before
the current is shut off, it is possible the drive will respond with
base block protection “BBL” with can prevent further operation for
1 to 3 seconds depending on the drive size. Therefore the times
should be adjusted to prevent this. Additionally during this time
the speed control is turned off to prevent the motor from driving
against the brake.

i
The total time between the drop of the direction signals
(X2A.14 & X2A.15) and the turn off of motor current is LF.78
+ LF.79. The time delay for dropping the enable (X2A.16) and
the opening of the motor contact should be greater than the
sum of LF.78 and LF.79.

Unit: seconds
Value range: 0.00 … 3.00 Seconds
Default setting: 0.30 Seconds

up. The actual motor rpm value displayed in LF.89 should be
nearly equal to the value displayed in LF.88. If the value in LF.89
varies by more than +/- 10 rpm or the value is greater or less
than LF.88 by more than 20 rpm, there is a problem with either

 Advanced Parameters

8.0 Advanced Adjustments

There are additional US parameters which can provide further functional adjustments
of the drive. These US parameters are all those greater than US.10. The following
will provide a basic description of the function of each parameter.

parameter in the drive.
para data

US. 16 The E.OL2 function is designed to protect the inverter from dangerous currents
when operating at very low output frequencies. With some geared motors and
E.OL2 function mainly with gearless motors the drive is forced to provide high currents at output
frequencies below 3 Hz. This causes considerable thermal loading on the power
transistors. In an attempt to protect itself the drive will monitor the load current when
operating below 3 Hz. If the safe value is exceeded, the drive will trigger the error
E.OL2. See section 2.7 for a table with the actual current values. A value of 0 in
US.16 provides this function.

A value of 16 takes into consideration the actual temperature of the power modules.
If the temperature is lower, the threshold level for the output current is raised allowing
more current to flow before triggering the error.

A value of 64 will cause the drive to automatically lower the carrier frequency when
the output current reaches the E.OL2 limit. By doing so the actual threshold value
is raised preventing E.OL2 and the drive keeps running. It is possible that under
certain cases the carrier frequency might become low enough to be audible.

0 = Standard function E.OL2 at listed current values

16 = Heatsink temperature dependent E.OL2
64 = Auto carrier frequency reduction
80 = both temp dependent and auto carrier freq. reduction

 Advanced Parameters

US. 17 The function of this parameter is dependent on which mode of pre-torque is selected
in LF.30.
Pre-torque
LF.30 = 3 analog pre-torque from load weigher
timer ramp up
This timer controls the build time for the Pre-torque function. Once the direction input
is activated this timer begins counting. In the mean time the current check takes
place and then finally the motor is magnetized. At this point the analog pre-torque
value is evaluated and the torque begins to build on the motor. If this value is set
too short the torque build will stop before the current check is done or before it has
reached its nominal value. As a result it will appear that the Pre-torque function
does not work. If the value is too long the actual pre-torque made by the motor will
appear to over compensate.

LF.30 = 5 Synthesized pre-torque

This timer inserts dead time prior to brake release during which the current check
function occurs and the motor becomes magnetized. In this case it should always
be adjusted less than the actual mechanical brake pick time.

Unit: 0.1 seconds

Value range: 0.0...10.0
Default setting: 0.3

Adjustment values: (when LF.30 = 3) 0.3 to 0.5 sec

(when LF.30 = 5) 1/2 of the total speed pick delay
time but less than the mechanical brake pick time

US. 18 The function of this parameter is dependent on which mode of pre-torque is selected
in LF.30.
Pre-torque
LF.30 = 3 analog pre-torque from load weigher
timer ramp
This timer controls the ramp down time for the analog pre-torque function. Once
down
the pre-torque is established it is necessary to ramp the command torque down
to provide a smooth transition when the brake releases. Without any ramp, the
turn off of pre-torque will be abrupt and with too much ramp time the actual start of
movement will be influenced.

LF.30 = 5 Synthesized pre-torque

This timer controls the window during which the synthesized pre-torque function
is actually active. The mechanical release of the brake must take place during
this time period.

Unit: 0.1 seconds

Value range: 0.0...10.0
Default setting: 0.1
Adjustment values: (when LF.30 = 3) 0.1 to 0.2
(when LF.30 = 5) 0.1 to 0.2

 Advanced Parameters

This parameter provides a better adjustment of the field weakening torque curve.
US. 19 Under certain situations, if the input voltage is sagging too low or the motor has very
Field high slip, it is possible that the voltage limit might be reached. This can be confirmed
weakening by monitoring ru.42. If ru.42 reaches 100% or more the drive is operating at the
corner speed voltage limit and potentially can cause poor control of the motor.

To prevent this from happening the drive has an adjustable torque curve which
prevents the voltage limit from being reached. The value of this parameter is normally
calculated when the motor data is loaded in the LF parameters. After entering the
data, this value can be fine tuned.

 Advanced Parameters

US. 27 Each voltage and size power stage has its own unique ID code. This parameter
displays the ID number of the power stage. In the event the control card is replaced,
Power unit when the new control card is installed the drive will display the message E.PUCH
code indicating that the ID of the power stage has changed since the last power on
sequence. Before you are able to proceed further it is necessary to confirm the new
ID number through this parameter. Simply display the ID number and press enter.
This will clear the error message E.PUCH and allow the unit to go into operation.

US. 28 This parameter can be used to suppress noise on the analog speed pattern. When
adjusted to a value greater than zero it will act as a hysteresis level above which the
Analog input analog signal must rise before the drive begins to act on it. With a negative value
noise clamp the drive applies the same hysteresis to constant speed, i.e. at high speed.

the operator and the drive. If the operator is removed from the drive, the serial
HSP5 communication stops. If it does not restart before this timer expires the drive will

the drive. With this input activated, if the resistance between T1 and T2 becomes

when the sensor triggers and when the drive triggers the fault.

1) Drive is enabled, outputs assigned to Mcc activate.
2) Direction signal is given. Note if Mcc output function is used, direction signals
must be qualified by the closing of the main contactor.
3) The drive performs a current check to be sure the motor is connected and
that rated magnetizing current is produced. This current check requires about
300mSec to complete.
4) If pretorque is not used the analog input is clamped for the period adjusted in
LF.70. If pre-torque is used, the drive is applying pre-torque to the motor during
this time. In either case motion can not occur so the controller must delay the
pattern by at least the amount adjusted in LF.70 or the sum of the timer values
in US.17 and US.18. After this time the controller can begin to ramp the analog
command. This time should be adjustable to accommodate different brake release
times.
5) Once the actual speed is above two times the leveling speed adjusted in LF.41,
the HSD output function turns on.
6) If there is speed deviation during the run that exceeds the adjustment of LF.58
and LF.59, the ASD output turns off.
7) Once the speed deviation corrects itself, the ASD output turns on again.
8) When the elevator decelerates below, 1.5 times the leveling speed adjusted in
LF.41, the HSD output turns off.
9) When the analog speed pattern is reaches zero, the controller should drop the
direction signal. Exception, in the event of re-leveling leave the direction signal
active and simply provide the re-leveling command with the analog pattern signal.
When the direction turns off the timer in LF.78 begins. Additionally, the Brk

is controlling the brake, the brake should be set at this time.
10) The drive maintains full control and current to the motor for the time period
adjusted in LF.78. After which, the drive will reduce speed control gains and
begin to ramp the motor current down to zero over the time adjusted in LF.79.
11) After the sum of the times in LF.78 and LF.79 the motor current is zero and it
is safe to disable the drive and open the main contactor. Since LF.78 and LF.79
are adjustable to account for variable brake drop times, the corresponding time
delay should also be adjustable in the controller.

11.0 Position Control

11.1 One Floor Position These parameters are used to configure the position controller in
Control the drive. In order to use this function, the elevator control must
be designed to give the proper signal sequence ensuring correct
operation.

This parameter turns the position controller on and off and also is used
LP.1 to activate the teach function.
One floor positioning
Settings
OFF: Drive operates as a standard unit without
positioning control
tEAch: Used to learn the slowdown distance
P onE: One floor positioning is active

i
The general restrictions for using positioning control are as
follows:
- The control mode in LF.2 must be bnSPd
- There must be an encoder on the motor and that encoder must be
connected to interface X3A.
- Emergency Power Modes (LF.61 = SPd1, SPd2, SPd3,) are not
available.


- Before each run at high speed the drive must be disabled and re-
enabled to reset the position control.
- Re-leveling can occur at the end of the run without dropping the
enable signal.

Principle of operation:
When LP.1 = P onE and high speed is selected at the beginning of the
run, the drive enters positioning active (PA) mode and starts to accelerate
the car up to high speed. When the car passes the slowdown sensor
in the hoist way, the controller turns off the high speed command to the
drive and activates either leveling or high leveling. At this moment the
drive recognizes that the car is at the learned slowdown distance and then
proceeds to create a slowdown profile to bring the car to the floor.

If the car is running at contract speed, the drive simply calculates the
decel profile based on the adjusted values in LF.53,LF.54,LF.55, and then
decelerates the car accordingly down to leveling speed. Once at leveling
speed, the elevator runs until floor level is reached and then the leveling
speed and direction are turned off causing the elevator to stop.

If the car is still accelerating (<80% contract speed) when the slowdown
is reached (e.g. on a one floor run), the drive realizes this and calculates
a profile to continue the acceleration, up to a calculated max. one floor
speed and then proceeds to decelerate the elevator down to leveling
speed. In this case the alternate in distance adjusted in LP.4 is used.

Learning the slow down distance

The actual slow down distance can be learned by the drive or it can be
entered manually. However, it is recommended that the drive actually learn
the distance as this will also take into account the internal delays of the
controller. These delays will actually result in a lower value for the slowdown
distance than that actually measured with a tape measure.

First verify that the value in LP.2 is at least 6-8 inches lower than the actual
slowdown distance as measured in the hoist-way with a tape measure. This
distance reduction accounts for the delay in the controller. If LP.2 is too high ,
adjust the profile in parameters 0.LF.53, 0.LF.54, 0.LF.55 to achieve a lower
value. Note: after changing the profile parameters, LP.2 will automatically
re-calculate.

Now it is possible to learn the slow down distance.

1) Move the car on inspection to a floor in the middle of the hoist-way.

2) Adjust LP.1 = tEAch.
3) Set the display of the drive to LP.12 to view the position in inches.
4) Place a call up or down for a High Speed (if necessary, multi-floor) run.
5) As the car begins to accelerate, the position value will begin to count up
or down. Then at the moment the slowdown is crossed, the position value
will reset to zero and begin measuring the slowdown distance.
6) Once the car comes to a stop and the drive is disabled, the drive will
note the actual position, subtract one inch and then load the value into
parameter LP.3. It will also store the same value minus two additional
inches in LP.4. As a confirmation the display will show tdone. At this point
the distance has been learned.
7) To verify distance, set LP.1 = P onE. Change the display to LF.99.
8) Place a call up or down for a 1 floor run. The display should show the
following sequence: noP, boFF, Fcon or rcon, PA (while the car runs to
the floor all the way down to leveling speed), Fdec or rdec, rcon, bon LS,
nop. The positioning is functioning normally. Now the distance in LP.4
can be manually adjusted to minimize the leveling distance. Additionally
the profile can be further adjusted if needed for ride comfort. Repeat the
process for a multi-floor run adjusting LP.3 to adjust the leveling distance
in this case.
9) If the unit displays PnA and the car under- or overshoots the floor, the
position is not accessible. Increase the rate of deceleration in 0.LF.54
and 0.LF.55 and then re-learn the position. If this still does not resolve
the problem, it may be necessary to move the slowdown point further
away from the floor.
153
 Position Control

LP.2 This parameter shows the minimum required slow down distance,
based on the adjusted profile in parameters LF.53, LF.54, LF.55
Min. slowdown dist. and LF.42, to slow down from contract speed.

This value is the actual distance the drive uses to calculate the
LP.3 actual deceleration profile. When the distance is learned, the
Slowdown distance measured value minus one inch is automatically loaded here.

LP.4 When this value is adjusted other than zero, the drive looks for the
rising edge of a signal at terminal X2A.17. When the drive sees
Correction distance the edge, it resets the position counter with actual distance to the
floor to the value adjusted in this parameter.

In example, the leveling zone is 6 inches above and below the floor.
Therefore adjust LP.4 = 6.0 inches. The leveling zone signal is
passed through to the drive’s X2A.17 input terminal. When the car
enters leveling zone, the input goes active and the drive resets the
actual position value to 6 inches. This eliminates any accumulated
error while the system was running.

This shows the actual position in inches from the slowdown point.
LP.12 When the controller gives the slowdown command by turning off
Current position high speed and enabling leveling speed the position value is reset
to zero and begins to increment from there. The value displayed at
the end of the run is the total distance traveled from the slowdown
point.

Parameters LP21, LP22, LP23 provide a means independent from

LP.21 parameters LF,20, LF.21, 22, 23 to adjust the scaling of inches
into counts on the motor encoder. The scaling is defined by the
Scaling increments high
following relationship:

counts/inch = LP21 x 10000 + LP22

LP.22
LP23
Scaling increments low
Initially these values are calculated from the values entered
into parameters LF.21, LF.22, LF.23, LF.27, and LF76. After
