These open-chassis drives come with the following features: Four-quadrant ACCEL/DECEL. Allows the user to control acceleration and deceleration in forward and reverse directions. Pulse width modulation. Lower form factor than SCR drives (1.10 versus 1.37) throughout the motor speed range. Motor runs with greater efficiency and less maintenance. Four-quadrant regenerative operation. see Regenerative drives section on the following pages. Regenerative braking. Active braking along user-adjusted deceleration profile. No contactors required. No electromechanical components to overheat or wear out. Fast brake/inhibit. Active braking as fast as user-adjusted current limit allows. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page vii NRGD-4Q Drives vii Enable/disable. Turns off the output stage, allowing the motor to coast to a stop. Cage-clamp terminals. Quicker and easier wiring than screw terminals. Plug reversing. Quickly switch from forward to reverse. Autoranging dual voltage input (D240AC models only). Power the drive with either 120 VAC or 240 VAC. Tachogenerator feedback option. Improve the speed regulation from approximately 1% (armature feedback) to 0.1% with tachogenerator feedback. Diagnostic LEDs. Green POWER ON and red FAULT LEDs allow easy visual inspection of the drive status: User adjustable trimpots. Calibrate the drive precisely to your application needs. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page viii viii Regenerative Drives Most non-regenerative, variable speed, DC drives control current flow to a motor in one direction. The direction of current flow is the same direction as the motor rotation. Non-regenerative drives operate in Quadrant 1, and also in Quadrant 3 if the drive is reversible (see Figure 1). Motors must stop before reversing direction. Unless dynamic braking is used, non-regenerative drives cannot oppose an overhauling load, and cannot decelerate a load faster than coasting to a lower speed. Regenerative drives operate in two additional quadrants: Quadrant 2 and Quadrant 4. In these quadrants, motor torque is in the opposite direction of motor rotation. This allows regenerative drives to reverse a motor without contactors or switches, to control an overhauling load, and to decelerate a load faster than it would take to coast to a lower speed. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page ix Regenerative Drives Figure 1.

Doing so may cause fire or serious injury. Make sure you have read and understood the Safety Warnings on pg i before attempting installation. • Drive components are sensitive to electrostatic fields. Avoid direct contact with the circuit board. Hold drive by the chassis only. • Protect the drive from dirt, moisture, and accidental contact. Provide sufficient room for access to the terminal block and calibration trimpots. • Mount the drive away from heat sources. Operate the drive within the specified ambient operating temperature range. • Prevent loose connections by avoiding excessive vibration of the drive. • Mount drive with its board in either a horizontal or vertical plane. Six 0.19 in. (5 mm) wide slots in the chassis accept #8 pan head screws. Fasten either the large base or the narrow flange of the chassis to the subplate. • The chassis must be earth grounded. Use a star washer beneath the head of at least one of the mounting screws to penetrate the anodized chassis surface and to reach bare metal. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 6 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 6 Installation Wiring Warning Do not install, remove, or rewire this equipment with power applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion, or serious injury. Circuit potentials are at 115 or 230 VAC above ground. To prevent the risk of injury or fatality, avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board or with circuit elements. Do not disconnect any of the motor leads from the drive unless power is removed or the drive is disabled. Opening any one motor lead may destroy the drive. • Use 18-24 AWG wire for speed adjust potentiometer wiring. Use 14–16 AWG wire for AC line (L1, L2) and motor (A1 and A2) wiring. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 7 Installation 7 Shielding guidelines Under no circumstances should power and logic leads be bundled together. Induced voltage can cause unpredictable behavior any electronic device, including motor controls. As a general rule, Minarik recommends shielding of all conductors. If it is not practical to shield power conductors, Minarik recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding is not practical, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced noise. It may be necessary to earth ground the shielded cable. If noise is produced by devices other than the drive, ground the shield at the drive end. If noise is generated by a device on the drive, ground the shield at the end away from the drive. Do not ground both ends of the shield. If the drive continues to pick up noise after grounding the shield, it may be necessary to add AC line filtering devices, or to mount the drive in a less noisy environment. Logic wires from other input devices, such as motion controllers and PLL velocity controllers, must be separated from power lines in the same manner as the logic I/O on this drive. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 8 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 8 Installation Heat sinking The NRGD02–4Q has sufficient heat sinking in its basic configuration. No additional heat sinking is necessary. Line fusing Protect all Minarik drives with AC line fuses. Use fast acting AC line fuses rated for 250 volts, and approximately 150% – 200% of the maximum armature current. Fuse only the “hot” side of the AC line (L1) if using 115 VAC line voltage. See Table 1 for recommended line fuse sizes: Table 1.

Grounding the input will cause damage to the drive. Mount the speed adjust potentiometer through a 0.38 in. (10 mm) hole with the hardware provided (Figure 3). Install the circular insulating disk between the panel and the 10K ohm speed adjust potentiometer. Twist the speed adjust potentiometer wire to avoid picking up unwanted electrical noise. If speed adjust potentiometer wires are longer than 18 in. (457 mm), use shielded cable. Keep speed adjust potentiometer wires separate from power leads (L1, L2, A1, A2). 250-0265_rev2.qxd 10 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 10 Installation Figure 3. Speed Adjust Potentiometer 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 11 Installation 11 Connections Warning Do not connect this equipment with power applied. Failure to heed this directive may result in fire or serious injury. Minarik strongly recommends the installation of a master power switch in the voltage input line, as shown in Figure 4. The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum of 200% of motor nameplate current and 250 volts. Power, fuse and motor connections Connect the power input leads, an external line fuse and a DC motor to TB501 on the drive’s printed circuit board (PCB) as shown in Figure 4, page 13. Motor Minarik drives supply motor voltage from A1 and A2 terminals. It is assumed throughout this manual that, when A1 is positive with respect to A2 , the motor will rotate clockwise (CW) while looking at the output shaft protruding from the front of the motor. If this is opposite of the desired rotation, simply reverse the wiring of A1 and A2 with each other. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 12 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 12 Installation Connect a DC motor to PCB terminals A1 and A2 as shown in Figure 4. Ensure that the motor voltage rating is consistent with the drive’s output voltage. Power input Connect the AC line power leads to TB501 terminals L1 and L2, or to a double-throw, single-pole master power switch (recommended). Line fuse Wire an external line fuse between the stop switch (if installed) and the L1 terminal on terminal board TB501. An additional line fuse should be installed on L2 if the input voltage is 230VAC. The line fuse(s) should be rated at 250 volts and 150 - 200% of maximum motor nameplate current. Refer to the line fuse chart on page 8 for fuse ratings. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 13 Installation Figure 4. Power and Motor Connections 13 250-0265_rev2.qxd 14 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 14 Installation Optional switch connections Connect the following switches or jumpers to terminal board TB502 as shown in Figure 5, page 16. ENABLE/DISABLE switch Install a single-pole, single- throw switch between the ENABLE and COM terminals. Close the switch to disable the drive and coast the motor to a stop. Leave open to enable the drive and run the motor. RUN/BRAKE switch Install a single-pole, single- throw switch between the RB and COM terminals. Close the switch to regeneratively brake the motor to a stop at a rate controlled by the DECEL trimpot. Open the switch to accelerate the motor to set speed at a rate controlled by the ACCEL trimpot. DIRECTION switch Install a single-pole, single- throw switch between the DIR and COM terminals. Open or close the switch as required to change direction. Refer to the Application Notes for additional direction switch connections. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 15 Installation 15 INHIBIT switch Shorting the INH and COM terminals on connector TB502 to each other causes the motor to decelerate to minimum speed at a rate controlled by the CURRENT LIMIT trimpot. Remove the short to accelerate the motor to set speed. An alternative is to install a single-pole, single- throw switch between the INH and COM terminals. Close the switch to decelerate to minimum speed at a rate controlled by the CURRENT LIMIT trimpot. Open the switch to accelerate the motor to set speed. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 16 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 16 Installation NOTE: SPEED ADJUST POT SHOWN CONNECTED FOR BIDIRECTIONAL OPERATION Figure 5. Signal and Optional Switch Connections 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 17 Installation 17 Optional speed adjust potentiometer connections The motor can operate in one direction (unidirectional) or two directions (bidirectional) depending on how the speed adjust potentiometer is connected to the drive. Connect the speed adjust potentiometer as shown in Figure 6(a) for bidirectional operation. The motor does not operate when the wiper is in the center position. Turning the wiper CW from center causes the motor to rotate in one direction, while turning the wiper CCW from center causes rotation in the opposite direction. Connect the speed adjust potentiometer as shown in Figure 6(b) for unidirectional operation in the forward direction. Connect the speed adjust potentiometer as shown in Figure 6(c) for unidirectional operation in the reverse direction. Refer to the Application Notes for additional speed adjust potentiometer connections. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 18 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 18 Installation (a) (b) (c) Figure 6.

As the drive regeneratively brakes, it returns excess voltage to the bus capacitor, where it is stored until it can be discharged. When the regen dump circuit detects this condition, it redirects or “dumps” the excess voltage through a shunt resistor network, safely discharging the bus capacitor. Bus capacitor maximum voltage ratings are 200 VDC for 115 VAC drives and 400 VDC for 240 VAC drives. Please contact your Minarik representative for more information on changing the drive’s regen dump trip setting. Table 2.

BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. For your safety, use personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating this drive. Before applying power: • Verify that no conductive material is present on the printed circuit board. • Ensure that all jumpers are properly set. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 26 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 26 Operation Startup and shutdown To start the drive: 1. Turn the speed adjust potentiometer full counterclockwise (CCW). If the drive is following a voltage signal, set the voltage signal to 0 VDC. 2. Apply AC line voltage. 3. Slowly advance the speed adjust potentiometer clockwise (CW). If the drive is following a voltage signal, slowly increase the voltage signal. The motor slowly accelerates as the potentiometer is turned CW, or the voltage signal is increased. Continue until the desired speed is reached. 4. Remove AC line voltage from the drive to coast the motor to a stop. If the motor or drive does not perform as described, disconnect the AC line voltage immediately. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for further assistance. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 27 Operation 27 Starting and Stopping Methods Warning Decelerating to minimum speed, regenerative braking, or coasting to a stop is recommended for frequent starts and stops. Do not use any of these methods for emergency stopping. They may not stop a drive that is malfunctioning. Removing AC line power (both L1 and L2) is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping. For this reason, Minarik strongly recommends installing an emergency stop switch on both the L1 and L2 inputs (see Connections). Note: After a one-second time delay, all drives automatically run to set speed when power is applied and the ENABLE input is jumpered. Frequent decelerating to minimum speed or regenerative braking produces high torque. This may cause damage to motors, especially gearmotors that are not properly sized for the application. Automatic restart upon power restoration After a one-second time delay, all drives automatically run to set speed when power is applied and the ENABLE input is jumpered. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 28 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 28 Operation INHIBIT switch Shorting the INH and COM terminals on connector TB502 to each other causes the motor to decelerate to minimum speed at a rate controlled by the CURRENT LIMIT trimpot. Remove the short to accelerate the motor to set speed. An alternative is to install a single-pole, single- throw switch between the INH and COM terminals. Close the switch to decelerate to minimum speed at a rate controlled by the CURRENT LIMIT trimpot. Open the switch to accelerate the motor to set speed. ENABLE/DISABLE switch Install a single-pole, single- throw switch between the ENABLE and COM terminals. Close the switch to disable the drive and coast the motor to a stop. Leave open to enable the drive and run the motor. RUN/BRAKE switch Install a single-pole, single- throw switch between the RB and COM terminals. Close the switch to regeneratively brake the motor to a stop at a rate controlled by the DECEL trimpot. Open the switch to accelerate the motor to set speed at a rate controlled by the ACCEL trimpot. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 29 29 Calibration Warning Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered, and up to 30 seconds after power is removed and the motor stops. When possible, disconnect the voltage input from the drive before adjusting the trimpots. If the trimpots must be adjusted with power applied, use insulated tools and the appropriate personal protection equipment. BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. NRGD–4Q drives have eight user-adjustable trimpots. Each drive is factory calibrated to its maximum horsepower rating. Readjust the calibration trimpot settings to accommodate lower horsepower motors. All adjustments increase with CW rotation, and decrease with CCW rotation. Use a non-metallic screwdriver for calibration. Each trimpot is identified on the printed circuit board. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 30 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 30 Calibration LOOP CURRENT LIMIT DECEL IR COMP MAX SPD ACCEL OFFSET BALANCE TACH Figure 10. Calibration Trimpot Layout 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 31 Calibration 31 CURRENT LIMIT Warning Although CURRENT LIMIT is set to 120% of motor nameplate current rating, continuous operation beyond that rating may damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating, contact your Minarik representative for assistance. The CURRENT LIMIT (CL) setting determines the maximum current limit for accelerating and driving the motor. CL is factory set at 120% of maximum rated motor current. To calibrate CURRENT LIMIT: 1. With the power disconnected from the drive, connect a DC ammeter in series with the armature. 2. Set the CL trimpot to minimum (full CCW). 3. Lock the motor shaft. Be sure that the motor is firmly mounted. 4. Connect power to the drive. The motor should remain stopped. 5. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal for maximum forward speed. 6. Slowly adjust the CL trimpot CW until the armature current is 120% of motor rated current. 7. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal for zero speed and remove the stall from the motor. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 32 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 32 Calibration IR COMP The IR COMP (also known as regulation) setting determines the degree to which motor speed is held constant as the motor load changes. It is factory set for optimum motor regulation at maximum rated horsepower. To calibrate IR COMP (exact calibration): 1. Turn the IR COMP trimpot full CCW. 2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal until the motor runs at midspeed without load (for example, 900 RPM for an 1800 RPM motor). Measure the motor speed with a hand held tachometer. 3. Load the motor armature to its full load armature current rating. The motor should slow down. 4. While keeping the load on the motor, rotate the IR COMP trimpot until the motor runs at the speed measured in step 2. Approximate calibration: If the motor does not maintain set speed as the load changes, gradually rotate the IR COMP trimpot CW. If the motor oscillates (overcompensation), the IR COMP trimpot may be set too high (CW). Turn the IR COMP trimpot CCW to stabilize the motor speed. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 33 Calibration 33 MAX SPD The MAX SPD setting determines the maximum motor speed when the speed adjust potentiometer, or voltage input signal is set for maximum forward speed. It is factory set for maximum rated motor speed. To calibrate MAX SPD: 1. Set the MAX SPD trimpot full CCW. 2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal for maximum forward speed. 3. Adjust MAX SPD until the desired maximum forward speed is reached. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 34 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 34 Calibration ACCEL The ACCEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a higher speed in the either direction. ACCEL is factory set for the fastest acceleration time (full CCW). To calibrate ACCEL: 1 . Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal for minimum speed. The motor should run at minimum speed. 2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal to maximum forward speed, and measure the time it takes the motor to go from minimum to maximum speed. 3. If the time measured in step 2 is not the desired acceleration time, turn the ACCEL trimpot CW for a slower acceleration time, or CCW for a faster acceleration time. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the acceleration time is correct. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 35 Calibration 35 DECEL The DECEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a lower speed in either direction. DECEL is factory set for the shortest deceleration time (full CCW). To calibrate DECEL: 1. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal for maximum forward speed. The motor should run at maximum speed. 2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal for minimum speed and measure the time it takes the motor to go from maximum to minimum speed. 3. If the time measured in step 2 is not the desired deceleration time, turn the DECEL trimpot CW for a slower deceleration time, or CCW for a faster deceleration time. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the deceleration time is correct. TACH (for use with tachogenerator feedback only) Calibrate the TACH setting only when a tachogenerator is used. The TACH setting, like the IR COMP setting, determines the degree to which motor speed is held constant as the motor load changes. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 36 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 36 Calibration To calibrate the TACH trimpot: 1. Disconnect power to the drive and motor. 2. Connect the tachogenerator to terminal SO502. The polarity is “+” for T1 and “–” for T2 with the motor running in the forward direction. 3. Set the ARM/TACH FEEDBACK jumpers for armature feedback. Refer to Figure 9 (page 23). 4. Apply power to the drive. 5. Run the motor at full speed. Measure the armature voltage across A1 and A2 using a voltmeter. 6. Run the motor at either minimum speed or zero speed. 7. Disconnect power to the drive and motor. 8. Set the ARM/TACH FEEDBACK jumpers for tachogenerator feedback. 9. Set the TACH VOLTAGE jumper to the correct tachogenerator voltage range. 10. Set the IR COMP trimpot full CCW. 11. Set the TACH trimpot full CW. 12. Apply power to the drive and motor. Run the motor at full speed. 13. Adjust the TACH trimpot until the armature voltage is the same value as the voltage measured in step 5. Check that the tachogenerator is properly calibrated. The motor should run at the same set speed when the ARM/TACH FEEDBACK jumpers are set to either armature or tachogenerator feedback. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 37 Calibration 37 BALANCE (BAL) The balance setting corrects for a small offset voltage which could be applied to the motor while the drive is in BRAKE mode. This voltage may cause the motor shaft to continue to rotate even after the drive and motor have been braked. To calibrate BAL: 1. Set the BAL trimpot to the middle of its travel. Set the speed adjust potentiometer to minimum speed (full CCW) and apply input power. 2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or voltage input signal for maximum forward speed. The motor should run at maximum speed. 3. Set the RUN/BRAKE switch to BRAKE. If no switch is installed, short the COM and RB terminals of connector J501. The motor should brake to a stop. 4. If the motor shaft does not stop, but slowly rotates after braking, adjust the BAL trimpot either CW or CCW (depending on the direction of motor shaft rotation) until the motor shaft comes to a stop. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 38 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 38 Calibration LOOP GAIN (LOOP) The LOOP trimpot is used to provide additional regulation for certain low-horsepower, high-inductance motors. It is unused in most applications and is factory set to zero (full CCW). Please consult your Minarik representative for more information before adjusting this trimpot. If calibration is necessary, perform the following procedure: 1. Apply input power and set the speed adjust pot to approximately 50% of maximum motor speed. If an input signal is used, set the signal to approximately 50% of maximum. 2. Adjust the LOOP trimpot slowly CW until the motor becomes unsteady under load. A hum from the motor may be audible at this point. 3. Slowly adjust the LOOP trimpot CCW until the motor stabilizes and the hum (if any) is quieted. At this point, the LOOP GAIN trimpot is calibrated and should need no further adjustment. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 39 Calibration 39 OFFSET Warning This trimpot is set at the factory and should not need adjustment. Do not adjust this trimpot unless you are experiencing drift problems. Contact your Minarik representative before attempting adjustment, as improper calibration may have unpredictable results. The NRGD series has a factory-set offset around zero speed to guarantee stability in the stopped motor. Contact your Minarik representative before attempting adjustment, as improper calibration may have unpredictable results. To calibrate OFFSET: 1. Ensure that input power is turned OFF. 2. Set the signal input to zero. 3. Set the OFFSET trimpot to the approximate midpoint of its travel. 4. Apply power and observe the motor shaft. 5. If the motor shaft “creeps”, i.e., slowly rotates with no signal applied, adjust the OFFSET trimpot until the motor shaft stops. The direction and amount of trimpot adjustment depends on the direction of shaft rotation and connection of the motor leads. 250-0265_rev2.qxd 40 2/11/00 10:00 AM Page 40 Calibration 120 VAC INPUT 240 VAC INPUT Figure 11.
