The controllers integrated in an ACOPOS drive have a large number of configuration and optimization options. Maximum control quality can be achieved if ideal controller parameter values are configured. This training module provides an overview of how this is done.

Objectives and content

• The basics of closed-loop control
• Description of setpoint generator, position controller, speed controller and current controller
• Calculating parameters for speed and position controllers
• Procedure for setting parameters
• Determining control parameters using autotuning
• Saving the calculated controller parameters

Before a motor can be used, the respective power electronics must first be checked for compatibility. Only then can the data required to configure the drive system be entered and calculated. This process is then completed by commissioning the motor.

Learning objectives and contents

• Selection criteria and compatibility of components
• Preparation and information regarding installation
• Parameter identification and configuration
• Motors, encoders, temperature sensors and holding brake
• Calculating the commutation offset - Phasing
• Entering the temperature characteristic curve
• Encoder configuration
• Configuring the holding brake
• Commissioning checklist for the individual components
• Examples and exercises
