Title: TECO 7300EV VFD


1
TECO 7300EV VFD
  • Quick Start

2
But First
  • RTFM

3
RTFM(Read The Frickin Manual)
  • Manuals are always a problem.
  • Some manuals are written by people who dont
    really understand the device theyre documenting.
  • Even worse are manuals written by someone who
    understands the device so well he skips over
    important basic information.
  • Finally many seem to be written by people not
    fluent in the language of the manual.

4
ROTFM(Re-Organize The Frickin Manual)
  • Best way to approach these manuals
  • Skim first to understand organization
  • Dog ear the most important sections and diagrams
  • Highlight key information like important settings
    in charts or terminals on diagrams.
  • Cross out or redact non-applicable material.
  • Go back and re-read in more depth the most
    important sections
  • Look for repeated information that may be
    presented differently. Hopefully this will help
    clarify things that youre unsure of.

5
RWTFM(Re-Write The Frickin Manual)
  • Add notes to the manual to clarify any confusing
    nomenclature.
  • (e.g. NPN / PNP vs. Sink / Source)
  • Add references to sections that should have been
    repeated.
  • Write directly in the manual since youll
    probably be just as confused the next time you
    pick up the manual.

6
STFW(Search The Frickin Web)
  • Finally, Dont forget to check for newer or more
    detailed manuals on the manufacturers web site
    or on any CD that came with the device.
  • Usually the printed manual is the worst version
    available. Its not a bad idea to do a web search
    on the VFD model number to look for other
    versions of the manual.
  • Sometimes resellers will publish their own
    version or a user will post a how-to guide.

7
KISS (Too much flexibility can be confusing)
  • One common issue with todays computer-controlled
    devices is the multitude of options and
    configuration settings.
  • A good example of this is the control inputs on
    this TECO 7300EV VFD.
  • Instead of providing input connectors labeled
    Start and Stop the provide a set of 4 inputs
    that can be programmed to be Stop, Start,
    E-Stop, Reverse, and so forth.
  • Obviously until you program the VFD youre not
    likely to get your Stop control to do anything.
  • Or worse, it may do something other than stop!

8
Start simple and build out.
  • Dont try to set all configuration options at
    once.
  • Get the basics working first then add the
    complexity needed for your machine.
  • Get the motor turning first with default settings
    for acceleration and frequency.
  • Once the motor is turning you can tune motor
    settings and set more arcane parameters.
  • Only after this should you add external controls.
  • Since you often have ot modify additional
    parameters to make the controls function
    correctly doing this step last will help simplify
    things and isolate any problems that may occur.

9
Step 1 Safety Check
  • Double check VFD and motor ratings and verify you
    have appropriate gauge wire for the HP rating of
    the motor.
  • Review and understand safety warnings.

10
Step 2 - Line/Load wiring
  • Line in
  • Connects to terminals L1, L2, L3 for 3-phase
    input.
  • Connects to terminals L1 and L2 for single phase.
  • Note that the manual also refers to L1 as L (
    Line) and L3 as N (Neutral)
  • Connect frame ground to PE terminal
  • Motor Out
  • Connect 3-phase motor on terminals T1, T2, and T3
  • Connect frame ground to PE terminal

11
Step 3 Power up VFD
  • Check display for any error codes
  • Unlikely if you follow the KISS approach
  • If youre configuring a used VFD verify parameter
    settings in Step 4 and retest.
  • Check motor rotation with no load
  • Press Run button on VFD
  • Ensure motor is turning.
  • VFD display will be either an error code or the
    frequency being output.
  • At this point direction can be reversed by
    swapping two of the motor wires

12
Step 4 - Setting basic Parameters
  • Keypad entry sequence is easier than it looks in
    the documentation!

DSP/FUN switches from Display Mode to Function
Setting Mode. Up/Down Arrows cycle through list
of functions (F001, F002, etc) DATA/ENT selects
the currently listed function and switches to
parameter entry mode. Up/Down Arrows cycle
through list of parameters available for the
current function DATA/ENT stores the
setting End is briefly displayed on success.
13
Step 4 - Setting basic Parameters
  • Inverter rated current
  • Parameter F00
  • Could more correctly be named Inverter Model
    instead
  • Deceleration time
  • Parameter F02
  • Depending on your machine 2-10 seconds may be
    reasonable
  • Remember that quick stops may require adding a
    braking resistor!
  • Stopping method (Parameter F09) A related setting
    that can be set to either decelerate or coast
  • Acceleration time
  • Parameter F01
  • Depending on your machine 2-5 seconds may be
    reasonable

14
Step 4 - Setting basic Parameters
  • Upper frequency limit
  • Parameter F07
  • 120Hz is reasonable upper limit for modern 1800
    RPM motors lt 1HP as 3600 RPM should be within
    design limits. If in doubt check the motor specs.
  • Lower frequency limit
  • Parameter F07
  • 20Hz is as low as you should go. At low speeds
    torque and motor cooling become issues.

15
Step 5 Test Basic Parameters
  • Press Run button on VFD
  • Ensure motor is turning.
  • Press Up/Down Arrows.
  • Motor speed should change.
  • Note that Freq. Set control isnt operation by
    default!
  • VFD display will be either an error code or the
    frequency being output.

16
Step 6 Set Advanced Parameters
  • When the VFD is set to run in Vector Mode
    additional motor parameters need to be set.
  • Control mode (Parameter C14) Vector or V/Hz
  • Motor Rated Current (Amps) (F43)
  • Motor Rated Voltage (Volts) (F44)
  • Motor Rated Frequency (Hz) (F45)
  • Motor Rated Power (KW) (F46)
  • Motor Rated Speed (RPM) (F47)
  • Additional Vector Mode Settings to adjust for
    optimum operations are
  • Torque boost gain (F48)
  • Slip compensation gain (F49)
  • Low Frequency Voltage Compensation (F50)

17
Step 7 - Parameters for Controls
  • F04 Run signal source
  • 000 keypad
  • 001 External Terminal
  • F06 External control operation mode
  • 000 Forward/ Stop-Reverse/Stop
  • 001 Run/ Stop-Forward/Reverse
  • 002 3-wireRun/ Stop
  • NB 3-wire mode redefines inputs S1, S2 S3!

18
Step 7 - Parameters for Controls
  • F1115 Selectable Functions for input terminals (
    S1-S4 AIN )
  • 000 Forward run
  • 001 Reverse run
  • 002 Preset speed command 1
  • 003 Preset speed command 2
  • 004 Preset speed command 3
  • 005 Jog frequency command
  • 006 External Emergency stop(E.S.)
  • 017 Analog frequency signal input( terminal AIN)

19
Step 7 - Parameters for Controls
  • F05 Frequency signal source
  • 000 UP/Down Key on keypad
  • 001 Potentiometer on keypad
  • 002 AIN input signal from (TM2)
  • F16 AIN signal select

Vector vs. V/Hz
  • A standard VFD (lets call it a Scalar Drive)
    puts out a PWM pattern designed to maintain a
    constant V/Hz pattern to the motor under ideal
    conditions. How the motor reacts to that PWM
    pattern is very dependent upon the load
    conditions. The Scalar drive knows nothing about
    that, it only tells the motor what to do. If for
    example it provides 43Hz to the motor, and the
    motor spins at a speed equivalent to 40Hz, the
    Scalar Drive doesn't know. You can't do true
    torque control with a scalar drive because it has
    no way of knowing what the motor output torque is
    (beyond an educated guess). These problems
    associated with the scalar VFDs inability to
    alter it's output with changes in the load gets
    worse as the speed reference goes down, so the
    "rule of thumb" in determining the need for which
    technology to use is that scalar drives work OK
    at speed ranges between 51 (50Hz applications)
    or 61 (60Hz applications). So if your
    application will need accurate control below
    10Hz, scalar may not work for you.

32
Vector vs. V/Hz
  • A Vector Drive uses feedback of various real
    world information (more on that later) to further
    modify the PWM pattern to maintain more precise
    control of the desired operating parameter, be it
    speed or torque. Using a more powerful and faster
    microprocessor, it uses the feedback information
    to calculate the exact vector of voltage and
    frequency to attain the goal. In a true closed
    loop fashion, it goes on to constantly update
    that vector to maintain it. It tells the motor
    what to do, then checks to see if it did it, then
    changes its command to correct for any error.
    Vector drives come in 2 types, Open Loop and
    Closed Loop, based upon the way they get their
    feedback information.

33
Vector vs. V/Hz
  • A true Closed Loop Vector Drive uses a shaft
    encoder on the motor to give positive shaft
    position indication back to the microprocessor
    (mP). So when the mP says move x radians, the
    encoder says "it only moved x-2 radians". The mP
    then alters the PWM signature on the fly to make
    up for the error. For torque control, the
    feedback allows the mP to adjust the pattern so
    that a constant level of torque can be maintained
    regardless of speed, i.e. a winder application
    where diameters are constantly changing. If the
    shaft moves one way or the other too much, the
    torque requirement is wrong and the error is
    corrected. A true closed Loop Vector Drive can
    also make an AC motor develop continuous full
    torque at zero speed, something that previously
    only DC drives were capable of. That makes them
    suitable for crane and hoist applications where
    the motor must produce full torque before the
    brake is released or else the load begins
    dropping and it can't be stopped. Closed Loop is
    also so close to being a servo drive that some
    people use them as such. The shaft encoder can be
    used to provide precise travel feedback by
    counting pulses. (Note See Addendum below for
    additional information)

34
Vector vs. V/Hz
  • Open Loop is actually a misnomer because it is
    actually a closed loop system, but the feedback
    loop comes from within the VFD itself instead of
    an external encoder. For this reason there is a
    trend to refer to them as "Sensorless Vector"
    drives. The mP creates a mathematical "model" of
    the motor operating parameters and keeps it in
    memory. As the motor operates, the mP monitors
    the output current (mainly), compares it to the
    model and determines from experience what the
    different current effects mean in terms of the
    motor performance. Then the mP executes the
    necessary error corrections just as the closed
    Loop Vector Drive does. The only drawback is that
    as the motor gets slower, the ability of the mP
    to detect the subtle changes in magnetics becomes
    more difficult. At zero speed it is generally
    accepted that an Open loop Vector Drive is not
    reliable enough to use on cranes and hoists. For
    most other applications though it is just
    fine.This is all done at very high speeds, that
    is why you did not see Vector Drives as available
    earlier on. The cost of the high speed micro
    processor technology has now come down to every
    day availability.
