 Practical Advice - Minimum Setup

Practical advice:
Before starting your programming, first fill in the configuration and settings record tables (at the end of this
document).

Programming the Altivar 58F is made easier by the use of internal sequence selections and interlocks. In order
to maximize this ease of use, we recommend that you access the menus in the following order. Not all steps
are essential in every case.
LANGUAGE
MACRO-CONFIG
CONTROL (for 3-wire control only)
I/O
CONTROL
DRIVE
FAULT
COMMUNICATION or APPLICATION if a card is used
ADJUST

CAUTION: The user must ensure that the programmed functions are compatible with the wiring
diagram used. This check is particularly important if the factory configuration is modified; the
diagram may also require modification.
ENGLISH

Minimum setup:
This procedure can be used:

- in simple applications where the speed controller factory settings are suitable, in open loop mode.
- during commissioning where it is necessary to rotate the motor initially before fully commissioning.

Procedure:
1 Follow the recommendations in the User’s Manual supplied with the speed controller, most importantly
setting the 50/60 Hz selector switch to the nominal frequency of the motor.

2 Ensure that the factory macro-configuration is suitable, otherwise change it in the “MACRO-CONFIG”
menu.

3 To ensure the required level of safety, check that the wiring diagram is compatible with the macro-
configuration, otherwise modify the diagram.

4 Check in the “DRIVE” menu that the factory parameters are compatible with those given on the motor
rating plate.

5 Check in the “DRIVE” menu that the control mode is set to open loop (Ctr = SVC).

6 In the “DRIVE” menu, perform an auto tune (parameter tUn).

7 If necessary, adjust the parameters in the “ADJUST” menu (ramps, motor current, etc).

76
Performance optimization

Operating modes
The Altivar ATV-58F has two operating modes:

• Open loop mode (SVC), with no speed feedback from the encoder. Speed correction is still possible in this
operating mode, using tachogenerator feedback (option card VW3-A58201).

• Closed loop mode with flux vector control (FVC) using speed feedback by incremental encoder. In this mode
high-performance speed and torque accuracy at very low speed can be achieved.

The required operating mode can be selected by configuration (parameter CTR) or by an assignable logic
input. In both cases the change of mode only takes effect once the motor has stopped, with the speed
controller locked.

Encoder test, FVC setup procedure (closed loop)

1 The following steps (2 to 7) must be carried out in SVC open loop mode. Follow steps 1, 2 and 3 from the
previous page.

2 Configure the motor rating plate parameters in the DRIVE menu.

ENGLISH
3 Perform an auto tune in the DRIVE menu. The auto tune adapts the speed controller to the motor. An auto
tune performed in one operating mode remains valid in the other; there is no need to repeat if the mode is
changed.

4 Configure the number of encoder pulses (PGI) and select the “encoder test” function (EnC = YES) in the
DRIVE menu to test the entire feedback sequence.

5 Exit the DRIVE menu and go to the DISPLAY menu.

6 Start the motor and keep it running for at least 3 seconds at a stabilized speed over 10 Hz, ensure that the
motor is running correctly.
If fault SPF is displayed, check that the mechanical and electrical components of the encoder are operating
correctly, that it is connected, switched on and rotating in the correct direction (if necessary reverse 2 motor
phases or A and A-) and that the number of pulses has been configured correctly.
Correct and reset, then keep trying until the fault has been rectified.

7 Return to the DRIVE menu; parameter EnC should automatically be set to “DONE”.

8 Finally configure the FVC operating mode (Ctr = FVC) in the DRIVE menu.

77
 Performance optimization

Manual optimization of the FVC parameters

Manual adjustment is recommended if the auto-tuning procedure cannot be performed or if it does not perform
as expected. The essential parameters in FVC mode are the no-load current and the nominal slip.
The DISPLAY menu can be used to view current, voltage, frequency, etc. on the display module without the
need for measuring devices.

No-load current (adjusted by cos ϕ, DRIVE menu)

Run the motor at no load with frequency = nominal frequency / 2, then adjust cos ϕ until the motor voltage =
nominal voltage / 2 (parameter UOP in the DISPLAY menu).
Example: motor 400 V 50 Hz – adjust cos ϕ to obtain 200 V at 25 Hz.
• if UOP is less than 200 V, reduce cos ϕ
• if UOP is greater than 200 V, increase cos ϕ

Nominal motor slip (adjusted by nominal speed nSP, DRIVE menu and SLP,
ADJUST menu)
• nominal speed: configure the value shown on the motor rating plate.
• run the motor at approximately nominal torque, with frequency = nominal frequency / 2, then adjust SLP to
obtain the lowest motor current (parameter LCr in the DISPLAY menu close to nominal current).
ENGLISH

Loop adjustment
The DRIVE menu offers a choice between two types of speed loop ( see page_97 ):

• IP loop (adjusts gain and stability)

• PI loop (adjusts proportional gain and integral gain)

Procedure
With the ramps set to the minimum, apply a speed reference of 5 to 10 Hz then start and stop the motor,
observing the change in speed (response time, stability, overspeed). Depending on the results observed,
follow the steps below until the optimum performance is obtained.

IP loop adjustment
1 gradually increase FLG (gain) to improve the loop response time (passband); reduce in the event of
instability
2 gradually increase StA (stability) to avoid any overspeed.

PI loop adjustment
1 set SIG (integral gain) to 0
2 gradually increase SPG (proportional gain) as far as possible before oscillation begins and note the value
obtained: SPGmax
3 adjust SPG to 0.7 x SPGmax
4 gradually increase SIG (to reduce the speed error) as far as possible before oscillation begins.

78
Performance optimization

Motor fluxing
The Motor Flux function FLU (ADJUST menu) is used to achieve and maintain nominal flux in the motor when
no FW or RV movement has been requested. The presence of flux before the motor is started ensures
maximum performance in the starting dynamics. This function applies to both the SVC and FVC operating
modes.

With FLU = FNC, non-continuous flux:

With a run command and the motor stopped:

The motor is fluxed before rotation begins.
The speed starts to increase as soon as the flux reaches its nominal level.
With a run command and the motor already turning (freewheeling):
The motor is fluxed before increasing to the setpoint speed. The command to increase to the
setpoint speed is given as soon as the flux reaches its nominal level.
At the end of a stop cycle:
When at zero speed, at the end of deceleration, zero speed is maintained for the period TDC. At

ENGLISH
the end of TDC the motor is no longer controlled and the flux disappears automatically.
If a logic input is assigned to the motor fluxing function:
When this input is operated, it functions in the same way as with FLU = FCT, continuous flux.

With FLU = FCT, continuous flux:

When the motor is stopped:

The motor is continuously fluxed and zero speed is maintained. It is important to ensure that the
motor can withstand the heat of the fluxing current when it is stopped (equal to the no-load current)
and that this type of operation is compatible with the application.
With a run command:
The motor is already fluxed and in ideal conditions begins to rotate immediately.

Note:
• The prefluxing period depends on the motor power.
• The functions Freewheel stop by LI or Freewheel stop by pressing the STOP button have priority over the
Motor fluxing function.
• The value of the prefluxing current will always be that of the speed controller limiting current, to minimize
the prefluxing period.

Caution:
• Auto-tuning is only performed if no command has been activated. If a
“freewheel stop” or “fast stop” function is assigned to a logic input, this input
must be set to 1 (active at 0).
• Auto-tuning may last for 1 minute. Do not interrupt; wait for the display to

 Logic Input Application Functions

Operating direction: forward / reverse

Reverse operation can be disabled for applications requiring only a single direction of motor rotation.

2-wire control:
Run (forward or reverse) and stop are controlled by the same logic input, for which state 1 (run) or 0 (stop), or
a change in state is taken into account (see the 2-wire control menu).

3-wire control:
Run (forward or reverse) and stop are controlled by 2 different logic inputs.
LI1 is always assigned to the stop function. A stop is obtained on opening (state 0).

The pulse on the run input is stored until the stop input opens.

During power-up or manual or automatic fault resetting, the motor can only be supplied with power after a reset
prior to the “forward”, “reverse”, and “injection stop” commands.
ENGLISH

Ramp switching: 1st ramp: ACC, DEC ; 2nd ramp: AC2, DE2
Two types of activation are possible:
- activation of a logic input LIx
- detection of an adjustable frequency threshold.

If a logic input is assigned to the function, ramp switching can only be performed by this input.

Step by step operation (“JOG”): Low speed operation pulse

If the JOG contact is closed and then the operating direction contact is actuated, the ramp is 0.1 s irrespective
of the ACC, dEC, AC2, dE2 settings. If the direction contact is closed and the JOG contact is then actuated,
the configured ramps are used.

Parameters which can be accessed in the adjust menu:

- JOG speed
- anti-repeat delay (minimum time between 2 “JOG” commands).

106
Logic Input Application Functions

+/- speed: Two types of operation are available.

This type of +/- speed is incompatible with 3-wire control. In this case, the - speed function is automatically
assigned to the logic input with the highest index (for example: LI3 (+ speed), LI4 (- speed)).

In this case, the maximum speed is given by the references applied to the analog inputs. For example,
connect AI1 to +10V.

107
 Logic Input Application Functions

2 - Use of single action buttons:

Two logic inputs are required in addition to the operating direction(s).
The input assigned to the “+ speed” command increases the speed, the input assigned to the “- speed”
command decreases the speed.

This function accesses the STr save reference parameter in the CONTROL menu.

• The minimum rotation speed is limited to LSP.

• If Str = No, RAM or EEP, the maximum rotation speed is fixed by the analog references (for example,
connect AI1 to +10V). If the reference decreases and drops below the rotation speed, the rotation speed
follows the reference. The rate of increase is given by the valid acceleration parameter (ACC, DEC or AC2,
DC2).

• If Str = SRE, the maximum rotation speed is fixed by HSP. When the run command is issued, the speed
controller changes to the setpoint reference following the ACC / DEC ramps. Pressing + speed / - speed
varies the speed around this setpoint following the AC2 / DE2 ramps.

• - speed has priority over + speed.

• + or - speed adjustment around the setpoint is limited by parameter SRP (ADJUST menu). This parameter
ENGLISH

is a percentage of the setpoint.

• If the reference changes, the ratio between the reference and the setpoint resulting from the + speed / -
speed correction is fixed.

To unassign the logic inputs, the following order must be observed: PS8 (LIz), then PS4 (LIy), then PS2 (LIx).

Reference switching: (for manual / automatic operation, for example)

Switching of two references (AI1 reference and AI2 reference) by logic input command.
This function automatically assigns AI2 to speed reference 2.

Freewheel stop:
Causes the motor to stop using the resistive torque only. The motor power supply is cut.
A freewheel stop is obtained when the logic input opens (state 0).

DC injection stop:
An injection stop is obtained when the logic input closes (state 1).
This function cannot be accessed in closed loop mode.

Fast stop:
Braked stop with the deceleration ramp time reduced by a reduction factor dCF which appears in the drive
menu.
A fast stop is obtained when the logic input opens (state 0).

112
Logic Input Application Functions

Open loop / closed loop switching:

This function is used to switch between open loop and closed loop mode. It is only available if the speed
controller is configured in closed loop mode (parameter Ctr = FVC, DRIVE menu). First of all performance
optimization must be performed in closed loop mode (FVC) ( see page_77).

After a change in the state of the logic input assigned to this function, switching does not actually take effect
until the next time the drive is stopped and locked.

Second torque limit:

Reduction of the maximum motor torque when the logic input is active.
Parameter tL2 in the adjust menu.

Fault reset:
Two types of reset are available: partial or general (parameter rSt in the “fault” menu).

Partial reset (rSt = RSP):

ENGLISH
Used to clear the stored fault and reset the speed controller if the cause of the fault has disappeared.
Faults affected by partial clearing:

- line overvoltage - communication fault - motor overheating

- DC bus overvoltage - motor overload - serial link fault
- motor phase loss - loss of 4-20 mA - speed controller overheating
- overhauling - external fault - overspeed

General reset (rSt = RSG):

This inhibits all faults (forced operation) except SCF (motor short circuit) while the assigned logic input
is closed.

Forced local mode:

Used to switch between line control mode (serial link) and local mode (controlled via the terminals or via the
display module).

Auto-tuning:
When the assigned logic input changes to 1 an auto-tuning operation is triggered, in the same way as
parameter tUn in the “drive” menu.

Caution:

• Auto-tuning is only performed if no command has been activated. If a “freewheel stop” or “fast stop” function
is assigned to a logic input, this input must be set to 1 (active at 0).
• Auto-tuning may last for 1 minute. It should not be interrupted.
• The motor parameters (UnS, FrS, nCr, nSP, COS) must be configured before auto-tuning is performed.
• During auto-tuning the motor absorbs its nominal current.

113
 Logic Input Application Functions

Reference saving:
Saving the speed reference value of the analog input using a logic input when the command lasts longer than
0.1 s.

• This function is used to control the speed of several speed controllers alternately via a single analog setpoint
and a logic input for each controller.
• It is also used to confirm a line reference (serial link) on several speed controllers via a logic input. This
allows movements to be synchronized by getting rid of variations when the reference is sent.
• The setpoint is acquired 100 ms after the rising edge of the request. A new reference is not then acquired
until a new request is made.

Motor fluxing:
In order to obtain rapid high torque on start-up, magnetic flux needs to be already established in the motor.

• This function can be selected in open or closed loop operation.

• In continuous mode (FCt), the speed controller automatically builds up flux when it is powered up.
• In non-continuous mode:
- If an LI is assigned to the motor fluxing command, flux is built up when the command is confirmed.
- If no LI has been assigned or if it is not active when a run command is given, the motor is fluxed when it
starts up.
• The flux current is equal to 1.5 x nCr (configured nominal motor current) when the flux is established and is
then adjusted to the motor no-load current.

PID operation ( see page_117).

114
Analog Input Application Functions

Input AI1 is always the speed reference. Analog inputs AI2 and AI3 can be assigned.

Summing and subtracting speed references:

The frequency setpoints given by AI2 and/or AI3 can be summed and/or subtracted with AI1:
(AI1 ± AI2 ± AI3).

Speed regulation with tachogenerator:

Assignment on AI3 only with an I/O extension card with analog input: used for speed correction via
tachogenerator feedback.
An external divider bridge is required to adapt the voltage of the tachogenerator. The maximum voltage must
be between 5 and 9 V. A precise setting is then obtained by setting parameter dtS available in the adjust menu.

PTC probe protection:

Assignment on AI3 only with an I/O extension card with analog input: used for the direct thermal protection of
the motor by connecting the PTC probes in the motor windings to analog input AI3.
PTC probe characteristics:

ENGLISH
Total resistance of the probe circuit at 20 °C = 750 Ω.

PID regulator:
Used to regulate a process with a reference and a feedback given by a sensor. A speed input gives an initial
(or predictive) setpoint for start-up. In PID mode the ramps are all linear, even if they are configured differently.

Example: remote regulation of traction.

Note:
PID regulator mode is active if an AI input is assigned to PID feedback.

Torque limit:
(Only with an I/O extension card with analog input AI3). The signal applied at AI3 operates in a linear fashion
on the internal torque limit (parameter TLI in the “drive” menu):
- If AI3 = 0V: limit = TLI x 0 = 0
- If AI3 = 10 V: limit = TLI.

Applications: Load compensation, torque or traction correction, etc.

 Encoder Input Application Functions

Encoder input application function with an I/O extension card

with encoder input
Summing speed reference:
The setpoint from the encoder input is summed with AI1 (see documentation supplied with the card).

Applications:
• Synchronization of the speed of a number of speed controllers. Parameter PLS on the DRIVE menu is used
to adjust the speed ratio of one motor in relation to that of another.
• Setpoint via encoder.

Encoder input application function with control card

Closed loop FVC:
Flux vector control mode with sensor (inputs A, A-, B, B-).

This relates to the encoder for the control card. It is used for fine speed adjustments, irrespective of the state
of the load, and for control optimization (flux vector control mode in closed loop: Ctr = FVC, DRIVE menu).
ENGLISH

• Consistency between the motor frequency and the speed feedback is monitored in the speed controller fault
management system.
• If there is no PG signal (FVC mode) or in the event of inconsistency, the speed controller locks in fault mode
SPF.
• During operation, if the difference between the motor frequency and the speed feedback is greater than 5
Hz, the speed controller locks in fault mode SPF.
• If the speed feedback is greater than 1.2 x tFr, the speed controller changes to default mode SOF.

CAUTION: The encoder input terminals on the I/O extension card are identified in the same way as
the encoder input terminals on the control card (A, A-, B, B-). Suitable precautions should be taken
to avoid any possible confusion, and the terminals should be checked before setup.

118
Logic Output Application Functions

Relay R2, LO solid state output (with I/O extension card).

Downstream contactor control (OCC): can be assigned to R2 or LO

Enables the speed controller to control a contactor located between the speed controller and the motor. The
request to close the contactor is made when a run command appears. The request to open the contactor is
made when there is no more current in the motor.

If a DC injection braking function is configured, it should not be left operating too long in stop mode,
as the contactor only opens at the end of braking.
If continuous flux is configured (in closed loop mode), the contactor does not open.

Speed controller running (RUN): can be assigned to R2 or LO

The logic output is at state 1 if the motor power supply is provided by the speed controller (current present) or
if a run command is present with a zero reference.

Frequency threshold reached (FTA): can be assigned to R2 or LO

ENGLISH
The logic output is at state 1 if the motor frequency is greater than or equal to the frequency threshold set by
Ftd in the adjust menu.

Setpoint reached (SRA): can be assigned to R2 or LO

The logic output is at state 1 if the motor frequency is equal to the setpoint value.

High speed reached (FLA): can be assigned to R2 or LO

The logic output is at state 1 if the motor frequency is equal to HSP.

Current threshold reached (CTA): can be assigned to R2 or LO

The logic output is at state 1 if the motor current is greater than or equal to the current threshold set by Ctd in
the adjust menu.

Thermal state reached (TSA): can be assigned to R2 or LO

The logic output is at state 1 if the motor thermal state is greater than or equal to the thermal state threshold
set by ttd in the adjust menu.

PID error (PEE): can be assigned to R2 or LO

The logic output is at 1 if the PID regulator output error is greater than the threshold set by parameter PEr.

PID feedback alarm (PFA): can be assigned to R2 or LO

The logic output is at 1 if the PID feedback moves outside the range set by parameters PAH and PAL.

119
 Logic Output Application Functions

Brake sequence (BLC): can only be assigned to relay R2

Used to control an electromagnetic brake by the speed controller, for horizontal and vertical lifting applications,
and for unbalanced machines (parking brake).

Principle:

Vertical movement:

Maintain motor torque in an upward direction when the brake is being opened and closed, in order to hold the
load, and start smoothly as soon as the brake is released.

Horizontal movement:

Synchronize the opening of the brake with the build-up of torque during start-up and the closing of the brake
at zero speed on stopping, to prevent jolting.

Logic Output Application Functions

Recommended settings for brake control, for a vertical lifting application (for a horizontal application set Ibr to
zero and BIP to “no”):

1 Brake pulse (bIP): YES. Ensure that the direction of rotation FW corresponds to lifting the load.

2 Brake release current (Ibr):

Adjust the brake release current to the nominal current indicated on the motor.
If during testing the torque is insufficient, increase the brake release current (the maximum value is imposed
by the speed controller).

3 Acceleration time:
For lifting applications it is advisable to set the acceleration ramps to more than 0.5 seconds. Ensure that
the speed controller does not exceed the current limit.
The same recommendation applies for deceleration.
Note: for a lifting movement, a braking resistor should be used. Ensure that the settings and configurations
selected cannot cause a drop or a loss of control of the lifted load.

4 Brake release delay (brt):

Adjust according to the type of brake. It is the time required for the mechanical brake to open.

5 Brake engage frequency (bEn): in open loop mode (Ctr = SVC, DRIVE menu)

ENGLISH
Set to twice the nominal slip. Then adjust according to the result.

Modifications can only be made in stop mode with the speed controller locked.

Name Code Description Factory

setting
Auto Restart Atr This function is used to restart the speed controller automatically if no
the fault has disappeared (YES/no option).
Automatic restarting is possible after the following faults:
- line overvoltage
- DC bus overvoltage
- external fault
- motor phase loss
- serial link fault
- communication fault
- loss of 4-20 mA reference
- motor overload (condition: thermal state less than 100 %)
- speed controller overheating (condition: speed controller thermal
state less than 100 %)
- motor overheating (condition: resistance of probes less than 1500
ENGLISH

Ohms)
When the function is activated and after stopping, the fault relay
remains closed on one or more of these faults, and when the
conditions for restarting are correct (disappearance of the fault) the
speed controller attempts a start after a 30 s delay.
A maximum of 6 attempts are made when the speed controller
cannot start. If all 6 fail, the speed controller remains locked
definitively with the fault relay open, until it is reset by being
switched off.
This function requires the associated sequence to be
maintained. Ensure that accidental restarting will not
pose any danger to either equipment or personnel.
Reset Type rSt This function can be accessed if the fault reset is assigned to a logic RSP
input.
2 possible options: partial reset (RSP), general reset (RSG).
Faults affected by a partial reset (rSt = RSP)
- line overvoltage - DC bus overvoltage
- motor overheating - loss of 4-20 mA
- motor overload - overhauling
- motor phase loss - speed controller overheating
- serial link fault - external fault
- communication fault - overspeed
Faults affected by a general reset (rSt = RSG):
all faults. The general reset actually inhibits all the faults (forced
operation).
To configure rSt = RSG:

 Communication and Application Menus - Assistance
During Operation - Maintenance

Communication menu
This menu is only displayed if a communication card is installed. It can be accessed when the switch
is in position . Configuration is only possible in stop mode with the speed controller locked.

For use with a communication option card, refer to the document provided with this card.

For communication via the RS485 link on the base product, refer to the document provided with the RS485
connection kit.

Application menu
This menu is only displayed if a “customer application” card is installed. It can be accessed when the switch
is in position . Configuration is only possible in stop mode with the speed controller locked.

Refer to the document provided with the card.

Assistance during operation

ENGLISH

see the LEDs explained in the “Introduction”.

Maintenance
Before working on the speed controller, switch off the power supply and wait for the
capacitors to discharge (approximately 3 minutes): the green LED on the front panel of the
speed controller is no longer illuminated.

CAUTION: the DC voltage at the + and - terminals or PA and PB terminals may reach 900 V depending
on the line voltage.

If a problem arises during setup or operation, ensure that the recommendations relating to the environment,
mounting and connections have been observed. Refer to the Altivar User’s Manual.

Servicing
The Altivar does not require any preventive maintenance. It is nevertheless advisable to perform the following
regularly:
• check the condition and tightness of connections
• ensure that the temperature around the unit remains at an acceptable level and that ventilation is effective
(average service life of fans: 3 to 5 years depending on the operating conditions)
• remove any dust from the speed controller.

Assistance with maintenance

The first fault detected is stored and displayed on the display: the speed controller locks, the red LED
illuminates, and fault relay R1 trips.

Clearing the fault

Cut the power supply to the speed controller in the event of a non-resettable fault.
Locate the cause of the fault in order to eliminate it.
Reconnect the power supply: this clears the fault if it has disappeared.

In some cases there may be an automatic restart once the fault has disappeared, if this function has been
programmed.
