SKIP FREQ #1 & #2

7 BANDWIDTH
These parameters are used to prevent the drive from operating continuously at critical

frequencies that cause excessive mechanical vibration of the driven equipment. The

SKIP FREQUENCIES (Parameters 5 and 6) and the SKIP BANDWIDTH (Parameter

7) are used to define up to two speed avoidance ranges. The SKIP FREQUENCY

settings define the starting point of the speed range that is to be avoided, and the

SKIP BANDWIDTH setting defines how far the speed range extends beyond SKIP

FREQUENCY. Setting the SKIP FREQUENCIES to .00 Hz disables this function.
Example: The critical frequency is 21 Hz, and a bandwidth of 2 Hz is desired. Therefore,

set SKIP FREQ #1 to 20 Hz and set SKIP BANDWIDTH to 2 Hz. This results in a speed

range from 20 Hz to 22 Hz that the drive will not operate within continuously. If the drive

were operating at 25 Hz and then commanded to operate at a speed within the range

of avoidance, the drive would decelerate to 22 Hz and remain at that frequency until

commanded to 20 Hz or below. The drive would then decelerate through the range of

avoidance to the new frequency. Likewise, if the drive were operating at 18 Hz, and

then commanded to operate at a speed within the range of avoidance, the drive would

accelerate to 20 Hz and remain at that frequency until commanded to a speed of 22 Hz

or above. The drive would then accelerate through the range of avoidance to the new

frequency.

ACCEL RATE

ACCEL RATE sets the acceleration time for all speed reference sources (keypad,

speed pot, 4-20 mA, 0-10 VDC, and preset speeds). The ACCEL RATE setting is the

time to accelerate from 0 Hz to the BASE FREQUENCY (Parameter 18). The range of

adjustment depends on horsepower. Refer to the table below.

ACCELERATION LIMITS

HORSEPOWER

RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT

0.25 - 20

0.1 - 3600 SEC

25 - 60

0.3 - 3600 SEC

75 - 250

0.6 - 3600 SEC

Example: If ACCEL RATE is set to 30 seconds, and the BASE FREQUENCY is set to

60 Hz, the drive will ramp from 0 Hz to 60 Hz in 30 seconds. This is a linear function,

therefore the drive would ramp up to 30 Hz in 15 seconds, etc.
NOTE:

The ability to accelerate a given load at a particular rate is limited by the

output power capability of the drive/motor combination. The acceleration of

high-inertia and high-friction loads may be affected by the current limiting

characteristics of the drive. Refer to Parameters 16 - CURRENT LIMIT and

19 - FIXED BOOST for more information.

DECEL RATE

DECEL RATE sets the deceleration time for all speed reference sources. The DECEL

setting is the time to decelerate from BASE FREQUENCY to 0 Hz. As with Parameter 8

- ACCEL RATE, this is a linear function. If the drive is set to coast to a stop, DECEL will

have no effect when a STOP command is given. The range of adjustment for DECEL

depends on horsepower, voltage, and whether Dynamic Braking (DB) is being used.

Refer to the Deceleration Limits table.
