Max Speed Controller Limit
Max-Speed_Controller_Limit
0x30AF 0x00
0 – 24000 rpm
0 – 24000
Read Only Displays the maximum allowed speed that clamps the upper limit
of the Max Speed parameters.
Most material-handling vehicle applications will not have rpm
speeds beyond the typical 8-10,000 rpm, and often much lower
rpm as they travel at low warehouse speeds.
Typical Max Speed
Typical_Max_Speed
0x3542 0x00
500 – 24000 rpm
500 – 24000
4000 rpm Set this parameter to the typical maximum motor speed of the
vehicle. This value does not need to be set precisely; an estimate
will do. This setting normalizes all the vehicle response rates to
this value (Typical Max Speed rpm).
For example, suppose the Typical_Max_Speed is xed at 6000
rpm and the Full_Accel_Rate_LS_SpdM = 3.0 seconds, and
Full_Accel_Rate_HS_SpdM = 3.0 seconds:
If Max_Speed_SpdM = 6000 rpm it will take 3.0 seconds to
accelerate from zero to top speed
(6000 rpm).
If Max_Speed_SpdM = 3000 rpm it will take 1.5 seconds to
accelerate from zero to top speed
(3000 rpm).
If Max_Speed_SpdM = 1000 rpm it will take 0.5 seconds to
accelerate from zero to top speed
(1000 rpm).
Motor Technology
Motor_Technology
0x3534 0x00
0 – 1
0 – 1
0 Set this parameter to the type of motor in your vehicle:
0 = ACIM (induction motor)
1 = PMAC (permanent magnet synchronous [AC] motors).
Note: A Parameter Mismatch Fault will result unless the Feedback
Type matches the Motor Technology setting:
If Motor Technology = 0 (ACIM) then Feedback Type must = 1
(quadrature encoder) or 2 (sin/cos encoder).
If Motor Technology = 1 (PMAC) Feedback Type must = 2
(sin/cos device).
Position Sensor Type
Feedback_Type
0x3520 0x00
Enumeration
1 – 2
quadrature Set this parameter to the type of position feedback device in
your vehicle:
1 = quadrature encoder.
2 = sin/cos encoder.
3 = internal steering (n/a).
4 = Hall switch (contact Curtis).
5 = PMDC open-loop/sensorless (contact Curtis).
Note: A Parameter Mismatch Fault will result unless the Position
Sensor Type matches the Motor Technology setting:
If Motor Technology = 0 (ACIM) then Position Sensor Type must =
1 (quadrature encoder) or 2 (sin/cos encoder).
If Motor Technology = 1 (PMAC) Position Sensor Type must = 2
(sin/cos encoder) or = 4 (Hall switch).
MOTOR SETUP
When selecting either the ACIM or PMAC via Motor Technology parameter, the Motor Setup menus
will show the selected motor’s parameters, hiding the non-selected motor’s parameters. ACIM motors
use the quadrature encoder. See the Motor Setup Index for a side-by-side comparison of the ACIM
and PMAC parameter menus.
