Action Detail Unidrive SP is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is enabled. A stationary autotune will give moderate performance whereas a rotating autotune will give improved performance as it measures the actual values of the motor parameters required by the drive.
Page 131
0.04 Unidrive SP is able to perform a short low speed, a normal low speed or a minimal movement autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is enabled. A normal low speed autotune will measure the encoder phase offset angle and calculate the current gains.
Quick start commissioning/start-up (CTSoft) CTSoft is a Windows™ based software commissioning/start-up tool for Unidrive SP and other Control Techniques products. CTSoft can be used for commissioning/start-up and monitoring, drive parameters can be uploaded, downloaded and compared, and simple or custom menu listings can be created.
Setting up a feedback device This section shows the parameter settings which must be made to use each of the compatible encoder types with Unidrive SP. For more information on the parameters listed here please refer to the Unidrive SP Advanced User Guide.
