1.0 Safety

1.1 Warnings

do not perform any measurements on the frequency converter when the frequency

converter is connected to the mains

Do not perform any voltage withstand test on any part of the Vacon NXP. There is a certain

procedure according to which the test shall be performed. Ignoring this procedure may

result in damaged product.

The Earth leakage current of the Vacon NXP frequency converter exceeds 3.5 milliamps A/C

and in compliance with EN61800 -- 5 -- 1 a reinforced protective ground connection is used

and should not be removed from the drive.

Only Vacon spare parts should be used.

Do not touch the components on the circuit boards static voltage discharge may damage the

components.

1.2 Safety Instructions

The components of the power unit of the frequency converter are live when the Vacon NXP

is connected to the mains potential. Coming into contact with this voltage is extremely

dangerous and may cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from

mains potential.

The motor terminals U, V, W and the DC link/brake resistor terminals are live when the

Vacon NXP is connected to the mains, even when the motor is not running.

After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains, wait until the fan stops and the

indicators on the keypad go out (if no keypad is attached, there are indicators on the cover).

Wait 5 minutes more before doing any work on the Vacon NXP connections. Do not even

open the cover before this time has expired.

The control I/O terminals are isolated from the mains potential. However, the relay outputs

and other I/O terminals may have a dangerous control voltage present even when the Vacon

NXP is disconnected from the mains. Always check the drawings to see if any of the relays or

the I/O is connected to a dangerous potential.

Before connecting the frequency converter/control system to the mains make sure that the

Vacon NXP front cable covers are closed.

The Earth for protection inside the frequency converter protects only the converter itself

against a fault in the motor or the motor cable. It is not intended for personal safety.

2.0 Introduction

The Vacon NXL is a state-of-the-art A/C drive for use in the lift applications were reliability, dynamic

performance, precision and power are required.

The ride quality and reliability of the lift system is in most cases the result of precise dynamic control

of the motor. The Vacon NXL has been designed to provide the best possible control under all

circumstances, ensuring high operational reliability and ride quality for the entire lifetime of the

system.

As a forerunner in designing and manufacturing A/C drive systems, Vacon has developed many

innovative solutions and leading-edge technology for demanding applications one of which is the lift

application. The Vacon Drive has been used on many lift applications both within the UK and abroad.

The Vacon NXL is suitable for asynchronous Open Loop only and is also suitable for geared

applications. The control topology is open loop sensorless flux vector control. The drive utilises the

latest PWM technology to ensure switching losses and efficiencies to the motor are minimised and

maximised respectively.

The Vacon NXL also has the advantage of including all the filters and DC chokes incorporated within

the Power module to ensure compliance with the EMC directive. The Vacon unit can also have an

optional regenerative low harmonic drive added to improve power quality and have additional

energy saving’s when the lift is in the regenerative state.

3.0 EMC considerations

Variable frequency variable voltage drives utilise high-power electronic switching to control both the

frequency and the voltage to the motor, this has a side effect of causing electromagnetic

interference and the Vacon NXL complies with the relevant EMC standards. This compliance relies on

the correct installation requirements being followed. The following is required to keep conformance

to the relevant standards:

Wire the mains to the control panel in a suitably rated SY mains cable, with the screen

connected at both the isolator and the panel earthing points. Ensure the screen is bonded

using 360° clamps or ensure the screen pigtail is less than 50 mm long.

Wire the motor from the panel connections in a suitably rated SY mains cable with the

screen connected at both the panel and the motor earthing points. Ensure the screen is

bonded using 360° clamps or ensure the screen pigtail is less than 50 mm long.

Ensure the motor and mains cable are at least 300 mm apart. Also ensure that any other

cable such as Brake thermistor and encoder wiring is kept separate from the motor cables.

Ensure the encoder cable's screen cables are not the only at the drive. Ensure the cable is

properly terminates using the strap provided in the drive.

Ensure the earthing of the incoming mains is a good Earth and is in compliance with the

current IEEE regulations. (Note: the earthing should not solely rely on trunking and conduit

connections or bonding strips).

Ensure the Earth is connected from the isolator to the panel via the recommended practices

in the current IEEE regulations.

4.0 Block diagram of the drive

The figure below presents the block diagram of the Vacon NXL frequency converter. The frequency

converter mechanically consists of 2 units, the power unit and the control unit.

The three-phase A/C choke (1) and the mains end together with the DC link capacitors (2) forms a LC

filter which, again, together with the diode bridge produces a DC voltage that is applied to the IGBT

inverter bridge (3) block. The A/C choke also functions as a filter against high-frequency disturbances

from the mains as well as against those caused by the frequency converter to the mains. It, in

addition, enhances the waveform of the input current to the frequency converter. The entire power

drawn by the frequency converter from the mains is active power.

The motor and application control block is based on the microprocessor software. The

microprocessor controls the motor based on the information received through measurements,

parameter settings, control I/O and the control keypad. The motor application control block controls

the motor control ASIC which in turn calculates the IGBT switch positions. Gate Drivers amplify these

signals, and operates the drives IGBT inverter bridge.

The brake chopper is an additional unit built within the drive system to control the voltage across

the DC link when the motor enters the regenerative state. The excess energy is placed across the

resistors to maintain the DC link at the correct voltage.

8.0 Commissioning an Asynchronous (standard motor) Machine

8.1 Initial parameter settings and checks

At Digital Advanced Control, we always try to set the optimum parameters for the drive to be run

with the minimal of adjustments. This is dependent on the information given to us when

manufacturing the control panel. It is important that the following checks are carried out to ensure

the information given was correct and your parameter settings are set correctly within the drive to

suit site conditions.

Before switch on check the following:

1. Write down the following from the motor data plate.

a. The motor nominal current Amps.

b. The motor nominal voltage Volts.

c. The motor nominal frequency Hz.

d. The motor Cos Phi Θ Θ.

e. The motor nominal RPM RPM.

2. Check the motor is connected correctly on the high-speed winding and the connections are

securely fastened.

3. Ensure the brake, thermistors (if fitted) and motor fan (if fitted) are all connected correctly

and are securely fastened.

4. Ensure the control system is on inspection control and is capable of being run up and down

safely. Ensure your personal safety, once you are happy everything is safe switch the lift

on.

5. In the motor parameters enter the data recorded above. Set the motor current limit to

2xFLC of the motor.

6. Set the following motor parameters:

a. P2.2.1 nominal linear speed = (synchronous/motor RPM) x lift speed.

b. P.2.2.3.1 - levelling speed is set at 0.05 m/s

c. P.2.2.3.2 - full speed, set at 0.5 m/s (if the lift speed is below 0.5 m/s set to contract

speed).

d. P2.2.3.3 - intermediate speed, set at 0.5 m/s (if the lift speed is below 0.5 m/s set to

contract speed).

e. P2.2.3.4 - inspection speed, set to the desired speed but no greater than 0.25 m/s.

! Tech Tip: for a 4 pole motor the synchronous speed is 1500

rpm, for a 6 pole motor the synchronous speed is 1000 rpm

and for an 8 pole motor the synchronous speed is 750 rpm.

f. P2.3.1.1 - current limit FWD, in the brake control group. Set this parameter to 0.1 x

motor full load current.

g. P2.3.1.2 - current limit REV, in the brake control group. Set this parameter to 0.1 x

motor full load current.

h. P2.3.3.1 - DC brake current, in the DC brake control group. Set this parameter to 0.9

x motor full load current.

8.3 Direction check

7. Check it is okay to run the lift up and then switch the lift on, and run the lift up, the UPR

relay should energise and the lift should run up. If the lift does not run up swap 2 of the

phases on the motor and repeat the test.

8. Run the lift down and the DNR relay should energise and the lift should run down.

You are now ready to run the lift on inspection control.

8.4 Open loop commissioning

These instructions are for commissioning the lift with an open loop drive for lift speeds of 1 m/s and

less. The correct tuning is required to get good motor torque properties at low speeds, which will

give accurate floor levels and a smooth start and stop of the lift. The open loop sensor-less flux

vector Vacon drive utilises sophisticated algorithms in the software to give very good performance

on a low speed lift. Following these procedures will allow the tuning of the algorithms to give you

the optimum performance of the drive.

9. Check the start up procedure in 1 - 7 has been done

10. Check the speed of the lift and ensure the slowing limits have been set to the correct

distances shown on the drawings. If using a tape head ensure the floor levels and slowing

distances have been as accurately as practically possible to their operational distances.

11. Ensure the lift can run safely and trouble-free in the shaft i.e. not tipping locks, etc.

8.5 Setup High Speed

12. Place the lift on normal, and slowly increase the speed of the lift until high-speed is

obtained. If the lift begins to overshoot the floor level and then the Deceleration 1 P2.2.4.2

parameter should be increased to prevent this. Also monitor the output frequency and

ensure when running up no-load the output frequency is not 50 Hz or above, the output

frequency should be normally approximately 45 to 48 Hz.

8.6 Setup Levelling Speed

13. Check the parameter P2.2.3.1 levelling speed is set at 0.05 m/s (10 ft/m). Increase the

deceleration rate so that the lift runs for approximately 10 to 15 seconds on levelling speed,

now monitor the levelling speeds both in the up and down direction and ensure they are

within 5% of each other. . If the lift runs faster in the up and then to equalise speeds reduce

the parameter P2.1.3 motor nominal speed (200 RPM Max) in the motor parameters. If the

lift runs faster in the down then to equalise the speeds increase the parameter P2.1.3 motor

nominal speed (200 RPM Max).

14. Check the parameter P2.4.3 frequency limit in the drive control group is approximately 1Hz

above the levelling speed.

15. Monitor the speed in the up and down direction. The speed of the lift should be within 5% in

the up and down direction.

16. Now reduce the deceleration rate of the lift to ensure you maintain levelling speed for

approximately 1.5 seconds.

! Tech Tip: if the motor stalls when in the down direction (empty car) then increase P2.5.8

output voltage at zero frequency, this increases the voltage at low speed and overcomes the

resistive volt drop of the windings, increase to a maximum of 5%. Monitor The output current

at High and levelling speed and it should be the same, Increase or decrease Parameter P2.5.7

mid frequency Volts until they are equal.

8.7 Setup Lift Stopping

17. Adjust the parameter P2.3.3.4 DC braking frequency, in the mechanical brake control

parameters to ensure the lift stops accurately, reduce the frequency to obtain a more

accurate stop. Adjust the parameter P2.3.2.2 mechanical brake close delay so that the brake

energises approximately 0.25s after the lift has stopped. This will help obtain accurate floor

levelling.

18. Now ensure the lift stops smoothly and the brake is adjusted such that it performs it

required function, but the lift of the brake is reduced to minimise the noise on stopping.

8.8 Setup Lift Starting

19. Check now the start of the lift and it should be smooth and accelerate comfortably away

from the floor level. If the start of the lift drives against the brake the brake release time can

be reduced by adjusting the parameter P2.3.1.4 brake open delay in the brake control group,

so that the lift starts smoothly. If the lift rolls back then again this time can be increased.

20. Now adjust the acceleration rate if required by adjusting parameter P2.2.4.1 Acceleration 1,

in the speed curve 1 group. To increase the time to high speed, reduce this value. To

decrease the time taken to high speed, increase this value.

8.9 Brake Stall Check

21. An important function of the drive safety is to ensure that it is not possible to drive through

the brake, with the lift switched off isolate the supply via the circuit breaker for the brake

shown on the drawings. Switch the lift on and the lift should try to run, after approximately

2 seconds the drive should trip on F15 Motor Stall. The lift motor should not drive through

the brake. Reconnect the brake.

8.10 Final Checks

22. Now setup the floor levels on the lift and adjust to suit, and perform all the necessary safety

checks before the lift is placed into service.

9.0 Copying parameters

The parameters can be easily copied from one drive to another to allow ease of setting up or in a

rare case of a drive having to be changed allows the parameters that were stored in the existing

drive to be downloaded to the new drive.

Before any parameters can be successfully copied from one drive to another drive the drive has to

be stopped when the parameters are downloaded to it.

To upload the parameters place the lift on inspection and follow the instructions below:

To download the parameters is similar to uploading to keypad, instead of up to keypad, select down

from keypad with a lift on inspection control.
