3-Speed Positioning
1.
General
Frequency converter works as a positioning controller with the help of incremental encoder and
target reference. Encoder board OPT-A4/A5 as an option is necessary. Encoder could be installed on
a motor shaft or on a conveyors axis behind the gear (NXS). Encoder information is used both
positioning control and Closed Loop motor control (NXP). If Closed Loop is in use, then the encoder
must be on the motor shaft.
Digital inputs and outputs are programmable.
Additional functions:
Programmable Start/Stop and Reverse signal logic

Reference scaling
One frequency limit supervision
Second ramps and S-shape ramp programming
Programmable start and stop functions
DC-brake at start and stop
One prohibit frequency area
Programmable U/f curve and switching frequency
Autorestart
Motor thermal and stall protection: Programmable action; off, warning, fault
Target reference could be given with three different ways;

1)
Positioning is based on 32 programmable targets, which are saved to parameter group 2.11.
Active target could be select with the combination of five digital inputs. (Optional I/O-expander
board, OPT-B1.)
2)
Analog target reference; current or voltage input. Using this method, notice the influences of
analog electronics disturbances (1%).
3)
Target reference from fieldbus. Expander board should be selected from the OPT-C-serie
depending on the fieldbus type.
Positioning accuracy depends on the units in use and the positioning length.

Positioning uses three different speed. When approaching the target, speed is decelerated with
three different phases. Speeds, hysteresis and ramps should be chosen by tests. In addition, the
application has so called automatic ramp scaling function (P2.10.21), which makes the positioning
quality better (See page 67). There are also two different speed groups, for example positioning
with or without the load. Maximum positioning speed is adjustable. This function is selected with
parameter P2.10.24.1. (See page 69)

P2.10.1; Target reference selection. Target reference could be given in spite of control
place P3.1 settings. If you want to control frequency converter eg. via fieldbus
(Start, stop, speed ref, positioning CW and so on), it must be selected with
parameter P3.1 as an active control place.

Analog target reference;
Target reference could be given eg. potentiometer, voltage or current signal.
Reference is adjustable during the positioning also. Notice analog electronics
disturbances, which could effect to positioning accuracy (1%).
Target reference from fieldbus;

Target reference is written to processdata field 1, type UINT. Calibration reference is
written to processdata field 4, type UINT. Values is internally limited like position
parameters in group G2.11. See also chapter 3.6 Fieldbus control.
P2.10.4; Total trip (Max. 60000). Unit type: ANY. Total length of the positioning area. Use the
same units in all trip parameters. (P2.10.4, P2.10.7, P2.10.8, P2.10.9 and all parameters in group
G2.11)
P2.10.5; User defined encoder axis rounds per total trip.

Max. 65535. Decimals to this value is defined by parameter P2.10.6.
Note! This parameter affects essentially to positioning accuracy.

Total Trip

conveyors axis revolution:
Total Rounds =
Total Trip
Lenght of the 1 revolution
P2.10.6; Decimals. (Max. 4) Total rounds (P2.10.5) decimal numbers.

Example: If calculated total rounds are 5.24943, choose maximum value 4, because
52494<65535. Now you reach the optimal accuracy.
P2.10.7; Medium speed position. Advance position, when moving to medium speed.
(P2.10.11 or P2.10.15). Outside this area, speed reference is high positioning
speed (P2.10.10 or P2.10.14). Same units as P2.10.4.
P2.10.8; Creep speed positioning. Advance position, when moving to creeping speed.
(P2.10.12 tai P2.10.16). Same units as P2.10.4.
P2.10.9; Stop hysteresis. Advance position, when stopping. Finally positioning accuracy is
defined with this parameter. Frequency converter keeps the conveyor inside the hysteresis as
long as the START-command is on. In other words, it repairs the positioning all the time. If
hysteresis is too small, conveyor starts to oscillate. If this happens, you could decrease the
creeping speed, tune the ramps or increase the stop hysteresis. Same units as P2.10.4.
P2.11.1; Safety area Low. End limit area settings to positioning areas beginning.
Same units as P2.10.4.
P2.11.2;Safety area High. End limit area setting to positioning area end.
Same units as P2.10.4.
P2.11.3; Calibration position. Same units as P2.10.4. Locationing to safety area is

prohibited.
After these settings the calibration could be done!

3.2 Calibration
Trip counter must be calibrate always, when frequency converter is switched on, driving outside the
positioning area (=Fault) or calibration is reset by parameter P2.10.19 (value=1). Safety area is
activated, when calibration is done. (See chapter 3.3) Calibration could execute either manually or
automatically. The meaning of calibration is to set the known position to trip counter. Calibration
position is defined with parameter P2.11.3 or if using fieldbus, the calibration position is given to
processdata input field 4.
Calibration function mode is selected by parameter P2.10.18 AutoCalibration: Off/On;
Off= Manual calibration, see chapters 3.2.1 and 3.2.2
On= Automatic calibration, see chapter 3.2.3 and 3.2.4
NOTE! When doing calibration, all digital inputs must be set to zero!
In sheet cutter mode, you dont have to make calibration. Also safety area function is disabled!
3.2.1
Manual calibration using I/O-control
Manual calibration is executed in manual mode, DIA5=0. Conveyor is manually driven to position
corresponding to the parameter P2.11.3, then stop and confirm the calibration with DIA6. Now the
trip caunters value is same as parameter P2.11.3 and safety limits will be activated.
You could facilitate the manual calibration using preset speed defined with parameter P2.1.14,
activated with DIA3.
3.2.2
Manual calibration using fieldbus control
Manual calibration is executed in manual mode, processdata in 2, bit 1=0. Conveyor is driven to
position corresponding to the calibration position written to processdata in 4. Then stop and confirm
the calibration with processdata in 2, bit 0=1. Now the trip counters value is same as value in
processdata in 4 and safety limits will be activated. Note that the active target (V1.17) is not updated
until the next start-command.
3.2.3
Automatic calibration using I/O-control
Automatic calibration is executed in positioning mode, DIA5=1. Automatic calibration is activated,

when the function is selected with P2.10.18. and START-command is given. This way the conveyor
moves pursuant a sequence shown in Figure 3-1. This funtion uses positioning speed group 2 and
differential proximity switch connected to digital input.

Note: When the proximity switch is connected to PLC, then the status of the proximty switch must
be forwarded by the PLC to the frequency converter process data in 2, PDIN2, Bit0 (Calibration)
5) When the sequency is ready, (motor is running on zero frequency) give stop-command.
6) Now the trip counters value is same as value in P2.11.3 and safety limits will be activated.
Three steps of automatic calibration:
Step 1)
When START-command is activated, the conveyor moves on speed, which is defined

with parameter P2.10.15. In this case, direction of rotation is always reverse. If the
conveyor is already in proximity switch target area, this step is by-passed. Proximity
switch is connected to digital input DIA6 or the status of the switch is forwarded by
the PLC to the drive to processdata in 2, bit 0.
Step 2)
Proximty switch recognizes the car, DIA6=01 (PDIN2, Bit 0=1). Change of
direction, and speed is decreased to creeping speed reference defined by parameter
P2.10.16.
Step 3)
The car moves away from proximity switch target area, DIB6=10, (PDIN2, Bit
0=0) and the conveyor stops. Now the calibration is executed automatically, if using
I/O-control. On fieldbus control, the drive remains run-state, until the stop-command
is given. After that, the calibration must be confirmed using processdata in 2, bit 3
(Rising edge).
Now the trip counters value is same as parameter P2.11.3 and safety limits will
activate.

3.3 Safety area

Intention is to control manual drive near both mechanical ends. End limits are activated, when
calibration is done. Limits are set by parameters P2.11.1and P2.11.2. When driving manually over
the end limits, alarm End limits occurs and frequency is limited to value set by parameter
P2.10.13. If driving still goes on, until car goes outside the positioning area, fault New Calib.occurs
and calibration have to do again. If driving is stopped in safety area, starting to same direction is not
possible. In that case, new start have to do to opposite direction.
Calibration and position settings to safety area is prohibited!!!

This function is disabled in sheet cutter mode.

3.4 Teaching
Teaching is possible after the calibration. Teaching mode could be activated with parameter
P2.10.17. Conveyor is driven to the wanted position and receiptioned by digital input DIA 6. Position
is stored to place in group G2.11, which is selected with the combination of digital inputs.
3.5 Sheet cutter function

The purpose is to drive a proportinal sequence. Target reference is given by digital inputs, analog
reference or from fieldbus. Total trip and corresponding total rounds could be set using one
positioning sequence or multiply of them. (See Figure 3-3) Trip counter is reset on every STARTcommand. Function is activated in positioning mode (DIB5=1) with the parameter P2.10.3. Sheet
cutter positioning is possible to both directions. Calibration and safety area functions are disabled.

2.2.7
Digital inputs
The programming principle of the input/output signals in the 3-Speed Positioning
Application is different compared to the conventional method used in most of the other
Vacon NX applications. With the help of this method, you could define any of the digital
inputs to function in parameter group G2.2.7.
In the conventional programming method, Function to Terminal Programming Method
(FTT), you have a fixed input or output that you define a certain function for. The
applications mentioned above, however, use the Terminal to Function Programming
method (TTF) in which the programming process is carried out the other way round:
Functions appear as parameters which the operator defines a certain input/output for.
Defining an input for a certain function on keypad:

Connecting a certain input with a certain function (parameter) is done by giving the
parameter an appropriate value. The value is formed of the Board slot on the Vacon NX
control board (see the product User's Manual) and the respective signal
number, see below.
38 vacon
Example: You want to connect the digital input function Calibration (P2.2.7.13) to the digital input
DIA3 on the basic board OPT-A1.
First find the parameter 2.2.7.13 on the keypad. Press the Menu button right once to enter the edit
mode. On the value line, you will see the terminal type on the left (DigIN, DigOUT, An.IN, An.OUT)
and on the right, the present input/output the function is connected to (B.3, A.2 etc.), or if not
connected, a value (0.#).
When the value is blinking, hold down the Browser button up or down to find the desired board slot
and signal number. The program will scroll the board slots starting from 0 and proceeding from A
to E and the I/O numbers from 1 to 10.
Once you have set the desired value, press the Enter button once to confirm the change.
ENTER
Note: The inputs, unlike the outputs, can not be changed in RUN state
Defining unused inputs/outputs

All unused inputs and outputs must be given the board slot value 0 and the value 1 also for the
terminal number. The value 0.0 is also the default value for most of the functions. However, if you
want to use the values of a digital input signal for e.g. testing purposes only, you can set the board
slot value to 0 and the terminal number to any number between 210 to place the input to a TRUE
state. In other words, the value 1 corresponds to 'open contact' and values 2 to 10 to closed contact.
In case of analogue inputs, giving the value 1 for the terminal number corresponds to 0%, value 2
corresponds to 20% and any value between 3 and 10 corresponds to 100%.

When the frequency converter is decelerating the motor, the inertia of the motor and the
load are fed into an external brake resistor. This enables the frequency converter to
decelerate the load with a torque equal to that of acceleration (provided that the correct
brake resistor has been selected). See separate Brake resistor installation manual.

2.4.6
Start function
Ramp:
0
The frequency converter starts from 0 Hz and accelerates to the set reference
frequency within the set acceleration time. (Load inertia or starting friction
may cause prolonged acceleration times).
Flying start:
1
The frequency converter is able to start into a running motor by applying a
small torque to motor and searching for the frequency corresponding to the
speed the motor is running at. Searching starts from the maximum frequency
towards the actual frequency until the correct value is detected. Thereafter,
the output frequency will be increased/decreased to the set reference value
according to the set acceleration/deceleration parameters.
Use this mode if the motor is coasting when the start command is given. With
the flying start it is possible to ride through short mains voltage interruptions.
2.4.7
Stop function
Coasting:
0
The motor coasts to a halt without any control from the frequency converter,
after the Stop command.
Ramp:
1
After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated according to
the set deceleration parameters.
If the regenerated energy is high it may be necessary to use an external
braking resistor for faster deceleration.
Normal stop: Ramp/ Run Enable stop: coasting

2
After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated according to
the set deceleration parameters. However, when Run Enable is selected (e.g.
DIN3), the motor coasts to a halt without any control from the frequency
converter.

3
The motor coasts to a halt without any control from the frequency converter.

In torque control mode, the references are used to control

the motor torque.
Speed crtl (closed loop)
The I/O terminal and keypad references are speed

references and the frequency converter controls the motor
speed very accurately comparing the actual speed received
from the tachometer to the speed reference (accuracy
0.01%).
U/f optimisation
Automatic
torque boost
The voltage to the motor changes automatically which makes the

motor produce sufficient torque to start and run at low
frequencies. The voltage increase depends on the motor type and
power. Automatic torque boost can be used in applications where
starting torque due to starting friction is high, e.g. in conveyors.
NOTE!
In high torque - low speed applications - it is likely that the motor

will overheat. If the motor has to run a prolonged time under these
conditions, special attention must be paid to cooling the motor. Use
external cooling for the motor if the temperature tends to rise too
high.
U/f ratio selection

Linear:
0
The voltage of the motor changes linearly with the frequency in the constant
flux area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where the nominal voltage is
supplied to the motor. Linear U/f ratio should be used in constant torque
applications.
Squared: The voltage of the motor changes following a squared curve form
1
with the frequency in the area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where
the nominal voltage is also supplied to the motor. The motor runs under
magnetised below the field weakening point and produces less torque and
electromechanical noise. Squared U/f ratio can be used in applications
where torque demand of the load is proportional to the square of the speed,
e.g in centrifugal fans and pumps.

Voltage at field weakening point

Above the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage remains at the set
maximum value. Below the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage
depends on the setting of the U/f curve parameters. See parameters 2.6.2, 2.6.3, 2.6.6
and 2.6.7.
When the parameters 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 (nominal voltage and nominal frequency of the
motor) are set, the parameters 2.6.4 and 2.6.5 are automatically given the corresponding
values. If you need different values for the field weakening point and the maximum

Earth fault protection ensures that the sum of the motor phase currents is zero. The
overcurrent protection is always working and protects the frequency converter from
earth faults with high currents.
Parameters 2.7.82.7.12, Motor thermal protection:
General
The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The Vacon drive is capable
of supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load requires this high current there is
a risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded. This is the case especially at low frequencies. At
low frequencies the cooling effect of the motor is reduced as well as its capacity. If the motor is
equipped with an external fan the load reduction at low speeds is small.
The motor thermal protection is based on a calculated model and it uses the output current of the
drive to determine the load on the motor.
The motor thermal protection can be adjusted with parameters. The thermal current IT specifies the
load current above which the motor is overloaded. This current limit is a function of the output
frequency.
The thermal stage of the motor can be monitored on the control keypad display. See the products
User's Manual.
CAUTION!
The calculated model does not protect the motor if the airflow to the
motor is reduced by blocked air intake grill.

The factor can be set between -100.0%100.0%.
2.7.10
Motor thermal protection: Zero frequency current

The current can be set between 0150.0% x InMotor. This parameter sets the value for
thermal current at zero frequency. See figure 5-17.
The default value is set assuming that there is no external fan cooling the motor. If an
external fan is used this parameter can be set to 90% (or even higher).
Note: The value is set as a percentage of the motor name plate data, parameter 2.1.9
(Nominal current of motor), not the drive's nominal output current. The motor's nominal
current is the current that the motor can withstand in direct on-line use without being
overheated.
If you change the parameter Nominal current of motor, this parameter is automatically
restored to the default value.
Setting this parameter does not affect the maximum output current of the drive which is
determined by parameter 2.1.5 alone.

2.7.11
Motor thermal protection: Time constant

This time can be set between 1 and 200 minutes.
This is the thermal time constant of the motor. The bigger the motor, the bigger the time
constant. The time constant is the time within which the calculated thermal stage has
reached 63% of its final value.
The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between different
motor manufacturers.
If the motor's t6time (t6 is the time in seconds the motor can safely operate at six times
the rated current) is known (given by the motor manufacturer) the time constant
parameter can be set basing on it. As a rule of thumb, the motor thermal time constant
in minutes equals to 2xt6. If the drive is in stop stage the time constant is internally
increased to three times the set parameter value. The cooling in the stop stage is based
on convection and the time constant is increased. See also figure 5-18.

Parameters 2.7.132.7.16, Stall protection:

General
The motor stall protection protects the motor from short time overload situations such as one
caused by a stalled shaft. The reaction time of the stall protection can be set shorter than that of
motor thermal protection. The stall state is defined with two parameters, 2.7.14 (Stall current) and
2.7.16 (Stall frequency). If the current is higher than the set limit and output frequency is lower than
the set limit, the stall state is true. There is actually no real indication of the shaft rotation. Stall
protection is a type of overcurrent protection.

Maximum stall frequency

The frequency can be set between 1-fmax (par. 2.1.2).
For a stall state to occur, the output frequency must have remained below this limit.
Parameters 2.7.172.7.20, Underload protection:

General
The purpose of the motor underload protection is to ensure that there is load on the motor when the
drive is running. If the motor loses its load there might be a problem in the process, e.g. a broken
belt or a dry pump.
Motor underload protection can be adjusted by setting the underload curve with parameters 2.7.18
(Field weakening area load) and 2.7.19 (Zero frequency load), see below. The underload curve is a
squared curve set between the zero frequency and the field weakening point. The protection is not
active below 5Hz (the underload time counter is stopped).
The torque values for setting the underload curve are set in percentage which refers to the nominal
torque of the motor. The motor's name plate data, parameter motor nominal current and the drive's
nominal current ICT are used to find the scaling ratio for the internal torque value. If other than
nominal motor is used with the drive, the accuracy of the torque calculation decreases.

If tripping is set active the drive will stop and activate the fault stage.
Deactivating the protection by setting the parameter to 0 will reset the underload time
counter to zero.

Underload protection, field weakening area load

The torque limit can be set

If you change the value of parameter 2.1.9 (Motor nominal current) this parameter is
automatically restored to the default value.
2.7.20
Underload time
This time can be set between 2.0 and 600.0 s.
This is the maximum time allowed for an underload state to exist. An internal up/down
counter counts the accumulated underload time. If the underload counter value goes
above this limit the protection will cause a trip according to parameter 2.7.17). If the
drive is stopped the underload counter is reset to zero.

MECHANICAL BRAKE CONTROL

Mechanical brake control parameters are affected the mechanical brake control, the
smooth start and stop function and the safety functions.
Mechanical brake can be set to release on current, on torque, on frequency or on
external input. The closing can be performed by frequency, by external input or by run
request signal. In case of fault, the closing is done immediately without delay. In
positioning mode, brake closing is done with a certain delay, starting at the point when
actual position is inside the stop hysteresis.
Mechanical brake control is different in Open Loop and in Closed Loop motor control
mode. Parameters are divided in two different groups. Parameters in Closed Loop group
does not affect in Open Loop mode and vice versa. In figures 5-27(Open Loop) and 5-28
(Closed Loop) are a graphical presentations of the mechanical brake control logic.

2.12.1.11 DC-braking time at stop

motor is stopping. The function of the DC-brake depends on the stop function,
parameter 2.4.7.
0
>0
DC-brake is not used

DC-brake is in use and its function depends on the Stop function,
P2.4.7. The DC-braking time is determined with this parameter.
Par. 2.4.7 = 0; Stop function = Coasting:

After the stop command, the motor coasts to a stop without control of the frequency
converter.
With DC-injection, the motor can be electrically stopped in the shortest possible time,
without using an optional external-braking resistor.
The braking time is scaled according to the frequency when the DC-braking starts. If the
frequency is the nominal frequency of the motor, the set value of parameter 2.12.1.11
determines the braking time. When the frequency is 10% of the nominal, the braking
time is 10% of the set value of parameter 2.12.1.11.

the brake closing condition and the actual brake closing.
2.12.2.7 0 Hz time at start

2.12.2.8 0 Hz time at stop
Zero hertz time during start and stop. Motor can be magnetised and torque generated
during that time. In closed loop mode, this time should be used. Smooth start time (par
2.12.2.10) will commence straight after zero hertz time. The mechanical brake should be
set to release when this change takes place.
2.12.2.9 Smooth start time

The smooth start time function is used in closed loop mode. It cannot be used in open
loop. After the start command has been given the drive is rotating the motor shaft with a
very low frequency (par 2.12.2.11) to overcome the static friction.
Smooth start time will commence straight after zero hertz time (par 2.12.2.8). The
mechanical brake should be set to release when this change takes place. This is
achieved through setting the same value for the frequency limit (par 2.3.2.3) and the
smooth start frequency (par 2.12.2.11).
