Planning the electrical installation 45 Selecting the power cables General rules Dimension the supply (input power) and motor cables according to local regulations. • The cable must be able to carry the drive load current. See the chapter Technical data for the rated currents.
46 Planning the electrical installation Motor cable shield To function as a protective conductor, the shield must have the same cross-sectional area as a phase conductor when they are made of the same metal. To effectively suppress radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions, the shield conductivity must be at least 1/10 of the phase conductor conductivity.
Planning the electrical installation 47 Routing the cables Route the motor cable away from other cable routes. Motor cables of several drives can be run in parallel installed next to each other. It is recommended that the motor cable, input power cable and control cables be installed on separate trays. Avoid long parallel runs of motor cables with other cables in order to decrease electromagnetic interference caused by the rapid changes in the drive output voltage.

Introduction Before powering the MicroFlex e190 you must connect it to the PC using an Ethernet cable and install the Mint WorkBench software on the PC. This includes a number of applications and utilities to allow you to configure, tune and program the MicroFlex e190.
It is necessary to alter the PC's Ethernet adapter configuration to operate correctly with the MicroFlex e190. By default, the MicroFlex e190 has a static IP address of 192.168.0.1. This can be changed using the Configuration tool in Mint WorkBench.
STO input (page 187) is not powered. Start-up can take more than 1 minute after downloading new firmware. 4. To allow the Commissioning Wizard to function, the Safe Torque Off inputs (page 187) must be powered to allow the MicroFlex e190 to be enabled.
4. Select the MicroFlex e190 in the list, and check Launch Commissioning Wizard. 5. Click Select. Note: If the MicroFlex e190 is not listed, check the Ethernet cable is connected to the E3 port on the front panel of the drive, not E1 or E2 on the top panel. Check that the...
By monitoring the drive's output and the feedback from the motor's encoder, the MicroFlex e190 can make small adjustments to the way it controls the motor. This information is stored in the MicroFlex e190 and can be uploaded to a file if necessary.

WorkBench. Although the MicroFlex e190 might eventually be controlled over EtherCAT (or Ethernet POWERLINK), the ‘RT Ethernet' reference source should be selected only after the MicroFlex e190 has been commissioned and is ready to add to the EtherCAT (or Ethernet POWERLINK) network. This is selected by choosing the Operating Mode tool in the Toolbox.
This screen confirms that operation setup is complete. Autotune Wizard The Autotune Wizard tunes the MicroFlex e190 for optimal performance with the attached motor. This removes the need for manual fine-tuning of the system, although in some critical applications this might be required.

Start-up 101 For further information about tuning with the load attached, see Further tuning - with load attached on page 101. Further tuning - with load attached To allow Mint WorkBench to adjust the basic tuning to compensate for the intended load, it is necessary to attach the load to the motor and then perform the autotune procedure again.
102 Start-up Optimizing the velocity response It can be desirable to optimize the default autotuned response to better suit your application. The following sections describe the two main tuning factors and how to correct them. Correcting overshoot The following graph shows a response where the measured velocity overshoots the demand by a significant amount.
Start-up 103 Correcting zero-speed noise in the velocity response The following graph shows a response where there is very little overshoot but a significant amount of zero-speed noise. This can cause undesirable humming or ringing in the motor. 1. Go to the Fine-tuning window's Velocity tab. ...
104 Start-up Ideal velocity response Repeat the tests described in Correcting overshoot and Correcting zero-speed noise in the velocity response until the optimal response is achieved. The following graph shows an ideal velocity response. There is only a small amount of overshoot and very little zero-speed noise.
Start-up 105 the axis tab is selected. The Spy window's Velocity display should show 10 (approximately). If there seems to be very little motor movement, it is probably due to the scale factor. In the Commissioning Wizard, on the Select Scale Factor page, if you did not adjust the scale factor then the current unit of movement is feedback counts per second.
