  1. In general, yes. However, you should experiment with the signals and make sure that the real algorithm corresponds to the desired one for the application you are building.

    However, you should understand that the high-speed counter is reset to 0 by this Reload function or input signal instantly. However, the bits you see work within one program scan. And simply zeroing the variable takes time, which can cause an obstacle in the correct pulse count

  2. So, after conducting an experiment with manual control of the VFD, you came to the conclusion that it is in working condition.

    Now it remains to find out how the two VFD differ converters.

    Unfortunately, in the documentation for your Unitronics inverters,

    https://www.unitronicsplc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Operation-Manual_UMI-EU-B1-v1.6.pdf

    there is absolutely no mention about turning off and on the terminator for the 485 network in VFD.

    The mention of J5 is only in figure 3-9 and it  is not correct .

     

    @Cara Bereck Levy

    Please help add and correct the information about the 485 network terminators in the UMI VFD manuals.

    The lack of this information is probably the cause of the problem described in this topic.

  3. Unfortunately, I cannot assess your problem remotely.

    However, there are standard engineering approaches to problem solving.

    Therefore, I ask you to work out the following steps and give me the result of these steps.

    1. Reset the frequency converter to factory settings. P00.18=1

    2. Start the engine using the start and stop buttons.

    3. Change the frequency from minimum to maximum via panel keybord.

    4. Observe the behavior of the motor. If you have the problem of 7-8 Hz again in manual control -

    YOU DID NOT ADJUST THE MOTOR PARAMETERS AND YOU DID NOT CARRY OUT THE MOTOR AUTOTUNING or VFD is defective.

    Please send quastion to support@unitronics.com about motor autotuning process.

  4. An inverter is not a PLC! It is not possible to simply replace the inverter and the motor to get the same result.

    You should understand that the vector motor operation mode is set in the inverter by default (P00,00=1 ) . This mode involves building a virtual model of the motor to create a control vector at the three-phase output. The model includes engine parameters from the nameplate and additional parameters that the inverter can measure in tuning mode. If you switch the operation mode in the small inverter to 2 (this is the simplest mode without current vector generation), then there will be no need to generate the motor model.

    And if the inverter and the motor are in workingcondition, then everything should start working (on the same PLC setting).

    Next, you follow the path described by me above - adjust the motor parameters and perform auto-tuning.

    P.S. When sitting in a car of different sizes, you must adjust the height of the seat and the distance to the steering wheel. Now you are in a situation where you changed the car to a smaller one and for some reason you cannot see the road... You are definitely sure that you know how to drive a car. Just adjust the seat - the car is in good condition :)

  5. You have not described the task you want to solve.

    In the title of the topic, you ask about

    SPEED REFERENCE BY PRESSURE SENSOR.

    In the text of the post, you ask

    5 hours ago, Magnien said:

    I would like to indicate a setpoint pressure.

    I assume that the system will have a VFD for the pump. And you want to regulate the pressure. Most of VFD have a built-in PID pressure regulator.

    You can easily adjust such PID loop and give it the setpoint pressure from the PLC and read real pressure from sensor.

    I agree with Flex that you can make a PID loop on a PLC, but I know from practice that, for example, to regulate water pressure, you need to additionally provide many auxiliary modes for the system, and accordingly, all this needs must to be adjusted somehow.

    All this is already implemented in the VFD for pumps. It is only necessary to carefully read the manual for the desired standard application and set the parameters for it.

  6. Yes you find correct  parameter P00.00

    For test please set

    2: SVPWM control
    2 is suitable in applications which do not need
    high control accuracy, such as the load of fan
    and pump. One inverter can drive multiple
    motors.

    After you can see this note
    Note: Motor parameter autotuning is required
    when vector mode is applied.

    Then if  0 o 1 set is selected in P00.00 - you MUST enter motor nameplate parameter in to P02 parameter group and set autotune bit P00.015.

    Please  read about Autotune metods 1 - rotating (for motor stand alone) and 2 - static (if motor cannot de-couple from the load).

  7. I think that the user did not select correct option in the HW configuration.

    Unfortunately,  user did not specify which settings he selected.

    By selecting the quadrature (A/B) encoder option, we automatically select (maybe) that this is a reversible counting device, which also takes into account the direction of rotation of the encoder during the processing of two quadrature signals A and B.

    Unfortunately, I do not have such IO on my desk to experimentally confirm or refute my guesses.

    Although I may be wrong in my guesses - only the project sent by the user can show what is wrong with the encoder configuration or signal processing from it.

  8. For furnaces, I created interfaces with various PLCs. Considering the small size of the built-in keyboards in small PLCs V350 and V700, I use separate large buttons + and - connected to the discrete inputs of the PLC to set the temperature, time, and step number.

    As practice has shown, operators (who do not like to constantly change numbers on a small touch keyboard) like this solution.

    The "Step in range" function for the ladder perfectly operates with the right numbers without allowing you to exceed the specified limits.

    For example - 4 buttons only for temperature and time selection on Samba display.

  9. Please find sample code in U90 ladder program  menu Help>>>>Sample U90 projects

    ......\Unitronics\Unitronics U90 Ladder\Examples\Motion control\Motor speed.U90

    You must also read about hardware (HW) configuration and HSI - high speed input configuration for incremental encoder.

     

  10. From my experience, the use of the Samba controller is appropriate for economical one- and two-zone control. There are only two possible PID loops.

    Increasing the number of sensors requires more inputs to control and more outputs to send a PWM signal. Accordingly, in the Vision series, 24 PID loops  are available and all the capabilities you need for recording and programming heating profiles.

    For the first attempts, you should definitely take a Vision series controller.

    Ask your distributor about expansion options and you can easily expand the number of control channels.

    Again, from experience, working with recipes and profiles is easier with a larger screen. Your task is to find a balance between the money spent and the result obtained.
