    0 Hz to the motor and then ramp up to the desired frequency. If the motor is already rotating, the drive will try to force the motor to stop, which will generate large currents, which will cause an overcurrent fault. There are two options to be considered when using the Flying Start feature of the PowerFlex 755 series drive.  Enhanced ...

Verify this change on the HIM module, by watching the display while flipping the IN 2 switch on the demo box. The HIM will display F, then R, as well as an arrow change when flipping the switch back and forth.

    Demo In this demonstration, you will see what happens if a motor that is able to rotate without power is commanded to start by the drive. 1. Press the Start button on the HIM module of the drive. 2. Allow the motor to get up to its commanded speed, 1400 RPM. This may take a few moments.
  • Page 15: Sweep Flying Start - Forward

    Sweep Flying Start – Forward The Sweep option for Flying Start utilizes a different method of finding the motor’s speed. Use the steps below to configure the drive for this option, then explore the results of that configuration. 1.

    Sweep Flying Start – Reverse In some applications, it is possible that the shaft of the motor will be found to be rotating in reverse without power applied. Use the steps below to explore how Sweep Flying Start will address that situation. 1.
  • Page 17 Changed Ki parameter value In the chart below, we see that the frequency trace has a more gradual slope (encircled in red). The drive will take more time to detect the motor at this Ki value – 1000. Changed Kp parameter values 17 of 19...
  • Page 18 In the chart below, we see two sweep procedures, paying close attention to the current trace in blue. Notice that in the procedure on the left, the Kp value is set to 25, which results in a deeper dip in current when the motor has been detected.
