2-208 Torque Reference
Flux Vector Control
The drive takes the speed reference that is specified by the Speed Reference
Selection Block and compares it to the speed feedback. The speed regulator
uses Proportional and Integral gains to adjust the torque reference for the
motor. This torque reference attempts to operate the motor at the specified
speed. The torque reference is then converted to the torque producing
component of the motor current. This type of speed regulator produces a
high bandwidth response to speed command and load changes.
In flux vector control, the flux and torque producing currents are indepently
controlled. Therefore, we can send a torque reference directly instead of a
speed reference. The independent flux control also allows us to reduce the
flux in order to run above base motor speed.

Torque mode, an external signal is used for a Torque reference. Refer to

Torque Reference Input
[Torque Ref A], parameter 427 is used to supply an external reference for
how much torque is desired. The scaling of this parameter is from –800 to
+800, via [Torq Ref A Hi] and [Torq Ref A Lo].
Torque Ref 1 is then divided by [Torq Ref A Div], parameter 430. This
defines the scaled Torque Ref A.
