Magnetek IMPULSE G+/VG+ Series 4 Quick start guide

Brand: Magnetek

Model: IMPULSE G+/VG+ Series 4

Type: Quick start guide

Magnetek IMPULSE G+/VG+ Series 4 variable frequency drive (VFD) offers precise speed control for various applications, including hoisting machines, cranes, and lifting devices. With Flux Vector control, it ensures accurate torque control and smooth operation, especially for hoist applications without load brakes. Its built-in Auto-Tuning feature simplifies setup by automatically adjusting to your motor's characteristics. The VFD also provides multiple speed reference options and supports various motion control modes, such as traverse and hoist, for added versatility.

OVERVIEW

The following procedure is a supplement to other documentation

available for the IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4 variable frequency

drive (VFD). This will guide the user in proper installation and setup

of the system.

Before using the VFD-controlled equipment, the operator shall

read the operating manual of the hoisting machine, shall be

trained, and has to know all hazards by operating of cranes, hoists,

or lifting devices.

When installing the system, be sure to follow good wiring practices

and all applicable codes. Ensure that the mounting of components

is secure and that the environment, such as extreme dampness,

poor ventilation, etc., will not cause system degradation.

Read this document thoroughly before attempting installation.

Refer to the technical manual available at:

www.columbusmckinnon.com/magnetek.

Step 1

Connect Motor and Line Power

The following figure shows the electrical connections for the input

power and motor terminals on IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4 VFD.

Make the appropriate connections with power turned off. Follow

good wiring practices and follow all applicable electrical codes.

Ensure the equipment is properly grounded, as shown.

DANGER! DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT

WHEN VFD IS ON. Improper wiring can cause bodily

harm and damage to the equipment. Before applying

power to the IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4, ensure that all

protective covers are fastened and all wiring connec-

tions are secure. After power has been turned OFF, wait

at least 5 minutes until the charge indicator extin-

guishes completely before touching any wiring, circuit

boards, or components.

Step 5

Select a Control Method

This step explains the available Control Method settings.

V/f:

Set parameter A01-02 = 0 (V/f).

This setting is only available for IMPULSE•G+ Series 4 drives and is

recommended for most Traverse and Mechanical Load Brake hoist applications.

Open Loop Vector:

Set parameter A01-02 = 1 (Open Loop Vector).

This setting is only available for IMPULSE•G+ Series 4 drives and is

recommended for Traverse and Mechanical Load Brake hoist applications that

require finer speed control or torque limiting.

Flux Vector:

Set parameter A01-02 = 3 (Flux Vector).

This setting is only available for IMPULSE•VG+ Series 4 drives and is locked to

this setting. It is recommended for Hoist applications with no load brake and

requires encoder feedback.

NOTE: An Auto-Tune is recommended when using the Open Loop Vector or Flux

Vector control methods.

Step 6

Select a Motion

This step explains how to configure the VFD for a Hoist or Traverse application.

Traverse:

Set parameter A01-03 = 0 (Traverse).

Hoist (with Mechanical Load Brake):

Set parameter A01-03 = 1 (Standard Hoist).

This setting is not available for IMPULSE•VG+ Series 4 drives.

Hoist (with No Load Brake):

Set parameter A01-03 = 2 (NLB Hoist).

This setting is not available for IMPULSE•G+ Series 4 drives.

NOTE: An Auto-Tune is recommended when using a No Load Brake Hoist motion.

Step 7

Select a Speed Reference

This step lists the speed reference settings.

NOTE: Default speed settings will be automatically applied via X-Press

Programming™. See technical manual for more details and wiring instructions.

2-Speed Multi-Step: A01-04 = 0 Uni-Polar Analog: A01-04 = 5

3-Speed Multi-Step: A01-04 = 1 Bi-Polar Analog: A01-04 = 6

5-Speed Multi-Step: A01-04 = 2 Industrial Communication: A01-04 = 7

2-Step Infinitely Variable: A01-04 = 3 RS485 Communication: A01-04 = 8

3-Step Infinitely Variable: A01-04 = 4

Step 8

Auto-Tuning with Motor

In this step the IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4 drive is set up for

use with the motor. Make sure all protective covers have been

re-attached and then apply power to the VFD. DO NOT RUN

THE MOTOR.

Press until the Digital Operator shows the Auto-Tuning

menu. Then press .

V/f:

Set T01-01 = 2 (Term Resistance)

Open Loop Vector and Flux Vector:

Decouple motor from load and disengage brake.

Set T01-01 = 0 (Standard Tuning)

Press until the Digital Operator shows parameter T01-02 Mtr Rated Power.

Then press .

Press to select the digit you would like to change and use to adjust

value, then press to save.

Press to select the next parameter and follow the same procedure described

above to adjust its value.

T01-03 Rated Voltage (e.g., 230 V, 460 V)

T01-04 Rated Current (e.g., 22.0 A)

T01-05 Rated Frequency (e.g., 60.0 Hz)

T01-06 Number of Poles (e.g., 4 Poles)

T01-07 Rated Speed (e.g., 1750 rpm)

T01-08 Encoder Pulses per Rev (e.g., 1024 PPR)

T01-09 No-Load Current (e.g., 5.0 A)

T01-10 Motor Rated Slip (e.g., 2.90 Hz)

Press the RUN key to start the Auto-Tune.

For Europe: Enter Motor Power in kW

For USA: Enter Motor Power in HP

WARNING! SUDDEN MOVEMENT HAZARD. The motor will spin

during a standard Auto-Tune.

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. High voltage will be

supplied to the motor when Auto-Tuning is performed. Do not

touch the motor during Auto-Tuning.

Next, press on the Digital Operator. The IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 4 will

now start the Auto-Tuning procedure. The display will show message “Tune

Successful” when the Auto-Tuning procedure has been successfully completed.

Please reference the technical manual or repeat the procedure again if the

display shows an error message.

Encoder Direction

Check the motor speed monitor U01-05

while turning the motor manually in forward

direction (CW). If the sign displayed is

negative, power down the drive, wait at

least five minutes until the charge

indicator extinguishes completely, then

swap encoder wires A+ with A- on the

PG-X3 card. Next, power up the drive and

repeat this test. Or, reverse the encoder

direction with parameter F01-02.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do I reset the drive back to factory

default settings?

Answer: Go to parameter A01-05 and enter 1110.

Question: How do I adjust the time it takes the motion to

speed up or slow down?

Answer: Adjust the acceleration time parameter B05-01

and deceleration time parameter B05-02.

Question: How do I prevent my drive from tripping on an

OV fault (overvoltage) while my motor is ramping down?

Answer:

Increase deceleration time parameter B05-02

and check braking resistor.

Question: How do I prevent my drive from tripping on an

OL1 fault (overload) while my motor is ramping down?

Answer: Verify motor rated current parameter E02-01

and motor overload protection time parameter L01-02.

Question: How can I run my motor above the base

motor speed?

Answer: Increase the value of parameter E01-04

Maximum Frequency.

Verify that the motor and system allow for this.

Question: How can I change motor direction without

changing the motor leads?

Answer: Set parameter B03-04 to 1 (exchange phases).

Question: What should I do when the drive detects a

brake failure and displays a BE6 or BE8 fault?

Answer: Do not turn off power! Lower the load to the

ground and inspect the brakes.

Question: On an IMPULSE•VG+ Series 4 hoist

application, why does the brake stay open temporarily at

the end of a run?

Answer: This feature is called Load Float and reduces

wear on the brakes. See parameter C08-10 to adjust the

time.

Question: Where can I find troubleshooting information

regarding faults and alarms?

Answer: Reference the technical manual.
