Can I configure an Optidrive for Fast Ramp / Fast Stop in addition to the normal deceleration rate?

twogaam

Yes, all Optidrive products have a 2nd Deceleration or “Fast Stop” ramp. This ramp can be activated via a digital input reference on the drive control terminals or when mains power input is removed from the drive. When triggered by a digital input the fast ramp function is to Active (fail Safe) operation. Refer to the individual operating instructions for …

Can I display speed in RPM on my Optidrive?

twogaam

Yes, The Optidrive allows all speed related parameters to be displayed in RPM instead of Hz. By setting the value of the ‘Motor rated Speed’ parameter to the motor rated speed in RPM, the Optidrive will display the motor speed and the speed related parameters in RPM. When this parameter is set to zero, the speed of the motor will …

Can I use momentary Push Buttons on my Control Panel to increase and decrease speed?

twogaam

Yes, Optidrive products can be configured for momentary push buttons that increase and decrease the motor speed. Refer to the ‘Analog and Digital Input Configurations’ in the product manual for detail of the required parameter settings. Switches are normally , closed to activate. In general, the drive is required to be in Keypad mode to allow activation of this function. …

When should I use the Spin Start feature on my Optidrive?

twogaam

Spin start is a function that detects motor rotor speed at start-up and then matches drive output frequency to the detected rotor speed. Loads that are still spinning can cause higher currents to flow in the drive at start-up and potentially damage the Optidrive. Spin Start should be used on any application where the motor shaft may be already turning …

I have a client who wants to use an ODE-3 drive for pump pressure control.He wants to use 2 fix setpoints, lets say 30% and 15% for the pressure setpoint. Is there a way to provide this?

twogaam

Yes, it’s possible. –          Use analog input 1 as setpoint, P-44 = 1 –          Set the Analog Input Offset P-39 = -100.0% –          Set the Analog Input Scaling = 15.0% –          Connect the analog input as a digital input, switching either from terminal 1 (24V) or terminal 5 (10V) This works by using the scaled output from the analog input …

What causes a “P-LOSS” trip on Optidrive E3 ?

twogaam

The “P-LOSS” message indicates that an input phase is missing or has low voltage.  Check the incoming power supply connections, are tightened correctly with the specified torque. Measure the phase voltages, and ensure they are within the allowed operating range of the drive. Confirm the voltage levels are balanced across the phases. Ensure that one phase does not reduce in …
