Detail Drive Configuration and Operation

button on the HIM is one possible source for the [Applied Logic Command]
direction bits. The following chart explains the effect that the direction button
on the HIM has based on the condition of the “Bipolar SRef ” bit:

In either Bipolar or Unipolar mode, the selected direction can be determined
from the sign of Par 41 [Limited Spd Ref ]. Positive values indicate forward
rotation and negative values indicate reverse rotation.

Theory of Operation

The following discussion assumes that the IT curve does not change with Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) carrier frequency or drive output frequency.

A drive has three rated current values; a continuous current rating, a 1 minute
current rating, and a 3 second current rating. Typically, the 1 minute rating will
be close to 110% of the continuous rating, and the 3 second rating will be close to
150% of the continuous rating. This may vary from drive to drive to optimize the
performance of each frame size. In the following examples the 1 minute rating is
110% and the 3 second rating is 150%.

Open Loop Current Limit

The drive can thermally allow 102.5%.

The 1 minute current rating assumes a duty cycle of 1 minute on, followed by 3
minutes at 100%. This results in an average current of 102.5%.
