Issue:
Permanent magnet setup for synchronous motor on Process Drives.

Product Line:
Altivar Process Drive (ATV630, ATV930, ATV650, ATV950, ATV660, ATV960, ATV680, ATV980)

Environment:
All serial numbers for Altivar Process Drive

Cause:
N/A

Resolution:

Altivar 6xx Series:
This Function is available from V1.2.  In ATV6XX drives earlier, it was not included, and the settings remains same as below.

Altivar 9xx Series:
To program the drive with a Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motor

• Set Motor Control Type - [Complete settings] [Motor parameters] [Motor Control Type] Ctt
  • [Sync. mot.] Syn - Open-loop synchronous motors: Motor control type specific for permanent magnet synchronous motors.
  • [Sync.CL] FSy - Open-loop synchronous motor: For motors with Encoders or motors with sinusoidal electromotive force (EMF) only
  • [SYN_U VC] SYnU - Open-loop synchronous motor: This motor control type is used for variable torque applications.
  • [Rel. Mot.] - Synchronous Reluctant Motor: Opened loop synchronous motor without permanent magnet. This motor control type is used for variable torque applications.
• Setup Motor data parameters - [Complete settings] [Motor parameters] [Motor data]
  • ​[Sync Nominal I] nCrS - Sync motor nominal current.
  • [Nom SyncMotor Speed] nSPS - Nominal synchronous motor speed.
  • [Nom Motor torque] tqS
  • [Pole pairs] PPnS
  • [Angle setting type] ASt - Automatic angle setting type.
  • [SyncMotor Stator R] rSAS
  • [Sync Nominal Freq] FrSS - Synchronous motor nominal frequency.
• For Motors with Encoder you may need to perform an Angle Test
  • See [Complete settings] [Motor parameters] [Motor data] [Angle test setting]
• ​Perform Autotune - [Complete settings] [Motor parameters] [Motor data] [Motor tune]
  • When performing autotune make sure motor is connected
  • Make sure motor is cooled down.
