6.0 Tuning / Start Up
6.1 Installing the Application Module
Perform the following operations in the order listed to ensure proper signal connections between
the DriveLogix controller and the PowerFlex 700S firmware.
1. Download the RSLogix 5000 [.acd] file to the DriveLogix controller
2. Download the DriveExecutive [.dno] file to the PowerFlex 700S
Note, order of these events are critical as the DriveLogix controller must send the Peer
Communication format to the PowerFlex 700S firmware before the PowerFlex 700S will
accept all the configuration settings provided in the DriveExecutive file. Manually setting the
Peer Communication format in the drive will not be effective until configured in DriveLogix. If
this sequence of operation is not followed, the DriveLogix controller may not communicate
with the PowerFlex 700S.
6.2 Drive Tuning & Configuration
6.2.1 Drive Tuning
For basic commissioning of the application, the drive must first be tuned to regulate
the motor. The following steps will guide you through the basic requirements of drive
tuning when using an application module.
1. Set param 153 bit 8 high. This will set the start/stop control to 3 wire for
operation via the HIM. When the start up is complete this must be set to low for
2 wire operation from DriveLogix.
2. From the HIM, select the “Start-Up” function and follow the directions. In this
section you will perform the following steps.
a. Motor Control
i. FOC – for Induction Motor
ii. PMag – for Permanent Magnet Motor
b. Motor Data – Enter all motor data for the attached motor, check # poles
c. Feedback Config – Select feedback type
d. Pwr Circuit Diag
e. Direction Test – (NOTE, the motor will run) recommend always changing
wires and not software, this is for maintenance purposes, if the program
is restored it will default to the standard direction setting.
f. Motor Tests – (NOTE, the motor will run)
g. Inertia Measure – (NOTE, the motor will run)
h. Speed Limits
i. Select “+/- Speed Ref”
ii. Fwd Speed Limit
iii. Rev Speed Limit
iv. Abs Overspd Lim – Max over speed past the Fwd and Rev
Speed Limit. This is where the drive will fault
i. Do not complete the remainder of the Start-Up procedure in the drive
j. Scroll down to “Done/Exit”
3. Tune the speed regulator. Depending on the inertia of the machine and other
factors, the speed regulator bandwidth (p90) should be set for 15 to 50 radians.
4. Set param 153 bit 8 Low. This will set the start/stop control to 2 wire for
operation via DriveLogix
