Note: (1) is step runs faster if TACT is not running.
(2) If the motor starts to accelerate then slows down again, you may need to increase Max
Test Current (see Step 5, above):
Programmer: Motor Setup » Induction Motor (ACIM) » Characterization Tests » Max Test Current.
is will then run the tests as per Table 20 (below).
10. e automated test may take several minutes. When it is complete, the controller will have a
Parameter Change Fault. is is normal. Check whether other faults are present.
If there are any Characterization Error faults, read the number at System Monitor » Fault
History » Motor_Characterization_Fault_Type (i.e., Motor Characterization Error, flash
code 8-7) and reference the Motor Characterization Errors, Table 21. Table 21 includes
the Parameter Mismatch fault list, for immediate reference for clearing faults that prevent a
successful motor commission.
All errors except “81” indicate the motor characterization data is invalid. For error “81,” the
data is valid but Encoder Steps must be set manually. Contact your Curtis distributor or support
engineer if the Motor Characterization Errors indicated cannot be resolved.
Programmer: System Monitor » Fault History » Motor_Characterization_Fault_Type.
11. If Motor Type = –1
11.1 Complete the Slip Gain Tests (See below).
11.2 Complete the Base Speed Tests (See below).
12. If the Motor Type >= 0
12.1 Complete the Base Speed Tests (see below).
Table 20 ACIM Test Table
Motor Technology Motor Type Feedback Type Test Run
ACIM
>=0
(0, 1 – 531)
Quadrature Encoder
Current Regulator (CR) test only.
The motor will not spin.
ACIM
>=0
(0, 1 – 531)
Sin/Cos*
CR and sensor commissioning, will spin to max
test speed parameter in one direction.
ACIM –1

The full auto-characterization routine.
The motor will spin full speed in one direction.
* Consult Curtis to use a sin/cos sensor for induction motors.
e motor setup warning will clear when slip gain and base speed have both been manually set.
