Description

Specifies the data source where the motor configuration values originate.

The available data sources are:

Select

Nameplate Datasheet

to enable the

Nameplate/Datasheet

parameter section and configure motor options.

Tip:

The

Nameplate / Datasheet - Phase to Phase

parameters changes based on the motor type selection. Similar entry fields also map to different attributes.

The

Nameplate/Datasheet

parameters are only available when selecting the

Nameplate Datasheet

data source.

The options for

Data Source

vary by drive. The motor data resets to the default settings when changing the data source value.

Identifies the current motor catalog number.

If

Data Source

is set to

Catalog Number

, this field is read only and displays the catalog number selected from the

Change Catalog Number

dialog box. If

Data Source

is set to a value other than

Catalog Number

, this control is set to

<none>

.

The

TrackMoverMotor

or

TrackSection

Catalog Number:

All datasheet entry fields are read only. When

Data Source

is set to

Motor NV

, the applicable parameters display in the

Nameplate/Datasheet - Phase to Phase

parameters section.

Select a catalog number that matches the motor associated with this axis. Select the

Parameters

button to view the

Motion Axis Parameters

associated with that catalog number in the motion database.

Opens the

Change Catalog Number

dialog box. Use the

Change Catalog Number

dialog box to select a different catalog number for the motor.

The

Change Catalog

button appears dimmed if

Data Source

is set to a value other than

Catalog Number

.

Select the type of motor that is associated with this axis. This parameter is enabled when

Data Source

is set to

Nameplate Datasheet

.

If

Data Source

is set to

Catalog Number

,

Motor Type

appears dimmed and is read-only. The motor type associated with the catalog number is defined in the motion database.

If

Catalog Number

is set to

<none>

,

Motor Type

is set to

Not Specified

.

If

Data Source

is set to

Drive NV

or

Motor NV

,

Motor Type

is set to

Not Specified

.

If

Motor Type

is enabled, the options are:

The options available for

Motor Type

may be limited based on the drive selected.

Displays the measurement units used for the selected motor type.

Units

is enabled when

Data Source

is set to

Drive NV

or

Motor NV

. When

Data Source

is set to

Catalog Number

, the units are set from the motor database.

If

Units

is enabled, the options are:

The

Nameplate/Datasheet

section of the page changes based on the

Motor Type

selection. Also, similar entry fields may be mapped to different attributes.

Tip:

These controls only display when a motor type has been selected.

Specifies the nameplate rated power for the motor in kilowatt (Kw) units.

Specifies the nameplate AC voltage rating of the motor in volts (RMS).

Specifies the nameplate rated speed of the motor. The units are reported in meters per second (m/s).

Specifies the rated current of the motor in amps (RMS).

Specifies the nameplate continuous force of a linear permanent magnet motor.

The units are reported in newtons (N).

For the Rotary Permanent Magnet motor type, specifies the rated torque in N-m units.

For Rotary Permanent Magnet and Rotary Induction motor types, specifies the pole count of the motor.

Specifies the pole pitch of a linear motor.

The units are reported in millimeters (mm).

The physical length in meters (m) of a mover. Use the physical length measurement for programming multiple movers on the track.

Specifies the nameplate frequency rating of an induction motor in Hertz (Hz).

Specifies the maximum safe speed of the motor in RPMs.

The units are reported in meters per seconds (m/s).

Specifies the peak or intermittent current rating of the motor in amps (RMS).

Specifies the maximum thermal overload limit for the motor. The value, which is typically 100%, corresponds to the power dissipated when operating at the continuous rating of the motor.

Determines whether the Bus Overvoltage Speed Limit is applied to the velocity limiter. Select the check box to remove the velocity limit protection against Bus Overvoltage conditions associated with permanent magnetic motors. Clear the check box to enable the velocity limit protection.

Limits the magnitude of the velocity reference value allowed into the velocity summing junction to protect drive from damage from bus overvoltage conditions that can occur when disabling a moving permanent magnetic motor.

If the signal entering the velocity limiter exceeds the velocity limit value, and the

Extended Speed Permissive

check box is cleared, the velocity limiter clamps the velocity reference to this value and sets the Velocity Limit status bit. If the

Extended Speed Permissive

check box is selected, or the value of this attribute is 0, this limit is not applied. The units are reported in meters per seconds (m/s).

This parameter is read-only.

Establishes a limit on the magnitude of the velocity reference value allowed into the velocity summing junction to protect the motor from damage due to an over-speed condition. The units are reported in meters/second (m/s).
