Slip limiter

Enable anti-slip control.

  • Not active
  • Active

Index: 50011.12

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.TorqueLeveling.xSlipVelLimiterON

Maximum slip speed

Speed limitation for the slip limiter (in user units)

This option is shown when the slip limiter is activated.

Default value: 5% of the "Speed" application limit

Index: 50011.13

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.TorqueLeveling.lrSlipVelMaxMin

Advanced settings

Time constant

 

INFORMATION: Only visible in expert mode.

Time constant of the balance controller

Calculation: 1/P gain2

Index: 50011.14

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.TorqueLeveling.lrTimeConstant

Torque ratios

Ratio between the torque of one axis group member and the torque of the remaining axis group members. The number of setting boxes displayed depends on the number of subordinate axis group members.

Index: 50011.1-4

IEC name: Controller.Config.TorqueRelation.lrAGMember1-4

Torque between axis group members

Torque difference (preload) between the respective axis group members in [%/nominal motor torque]. The number of setting boxes displayed depends on the number of subordinate axis group members.

Index: 50011.5-8

IEC name:

Controller.Config.TorqueBetween.lrAGMember1_2

Controller.Config.TorqueBetween.lrAGMember2_3

Controller.Config.TorqueBetween.lrAGMember3_4

Controller.Config.TorqueBetween.lrAGMember4_1

Balancing priority: "Skew with/without overload guard" or "User-defined skew error"

Parameter name

Description

Operating mode setting

Allow skew balancing

INFORMATION: Only visible in the "Skew with/without overload guard" operating mode.

  • Manual - Skew correction must be enabled in the IEC/fieldbus using xEnableSkewing.
  • With setpoints active – skew correction starts automatically when the inverters switch to control.

Index: 50011.25

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.SkewLeveling.eEnableSkewing

P gain

Factor for increasing skew balancing

Index: 50011.18

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.SkewLeveling.lrPGain

Encoder source of skew balancing

INFORMATION: Only visible in the "Skew with/without overload guard" operating mode.

  • Motor encoder
  • Mean position value for the motors
  • External encoders
  • Mean position value for the external encoders
  • Motor encoders and external encoders
  • Mean position value for the motors and external encoders

Index: 50011.16

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.SkewLeveling.eEncSelector

Speed source for calculating the overload guard

INFORMATION: Only visible in expert mode and in the "Skew with overload guard" operating mode.

SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends the "Motor encoder" setting if there is a positive connection, otherwise a variant with an external encoder.

  • Motor encoder
  • Actual speed of the motors
  • External encoders
  • Actual speed of the external encoders
  • Motor encoders and external encoders
  • Actual speed, motors and external encoders combined
  • External encoders filtered
  • Actual speed of the external encoder filtered by the time constant of encoder evaluation (lrInputFilterTime_ExtEnc).

Index: 50011.17

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.SkewLeveling.eOverloadGuard_EncSelector

Limit speed and limit deceleration for skew balancing

  • Not active
  • Active

Index: 50011.20

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.SkewLeveling.xAccLimiterON

Maximum balancing acceleration/deceleration

Acceleration or deceleration limitation for skew balancing (in user units)

Default value: 10% of the "Acceleration/deceleration" application limit

Index: 50011.21

IEC name: Controller.MAC.Config.SkewLeveling.lrAccDecMaxMin

Maximum balancing speed

Speed limitation for skew balancing (in user units)

Default value: 10% of the "Speed" application limit

Index: 50011.22
