Introduction

The purpose of this application note is to explain the steps required to get an ABB motion drive operating in conjunction with an

AC servo motor and ‘tuned’ to achieve the best possible performance. Although some references are made to induction motor

parameters, setup and tuning of induction motors is covered by a separate application note.

MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 motion drives

The MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 are sophisticated servo drives which have been designed to meet the requirements of

both de-centralised single axis intelligent solutions and centralised multi-axis systems, providing high performance in an

economically priced device.

They provide an ideal solution to many machine applications and are ideal components for machine builders and system

integrators.

In this application note we will describe the commissioning process for a MotiFlex e180. The process is almost identical for a

MicroFlex e190 drive so references in this document to MotiFlex e180 are generally interchangeable with MicroFlex e190 unless

stated otherwise.

Equipment required:

– MotiFlex e180 servo drive running the latest firmware, with the correct feedback option module fitted

– BSM motor with either Incremental encoder, SSi, EnDat, SinCos, Hiperface, SmartAbs, Resolver1

 or BiSS feedback

– PC running Windows 7 or later

– Motor feedback cable terminated with suitable connectors at both ends

– Motor power cable with a suitable connector at the motor end

– Mains supply to the MotiFlex e180 (3 phase 200-480VAC or 1 phase 230VAC is also possible with frame sizes A and B

providing the PHASELOSSMODE parameter is set to 0)2

– Ethernet Cable

The ACQ580 is the latest addition to the ABB drives portfolio. 

This robust, compact and energy efficient drive is designed for

securing the flow of water and wastewater in your pumping system.

The drive is available in power ranges from 1 to 150 HP at 230V, 1 to

350 HP at 460V, and 2 to 250 HP at 575V. It is available in UL Type

(NEMA) 1 and 12 enclosures.

Secure the flow

The ACQ580 variable frequency drive (VFD) delivers innovative

pumping features for the water and wastewater industry. Primary

Setting menu and assistants simplifies commissioning, setup and

daily control. Embedded water and wastewater application

features create an intuitive environment for users and dedicated

pumping features enhance the performance of the pumping system.

Speak the language

Leveraging clear, water industry terminology, the control panel

enables operators to efficiently interface with the drives in terms

they use every day. The optional Bluetooth control panel allows for

wireless commissioning and monitoring.

DESCRIPTION

The REB611 is a specialized busbar protective relay for split-phase short-circuit protection, control and monitoring of single busbars.

The REB611 is suitable for high impedance based applications in utility substations and industrial power systems.

In addition, the relay can be used in restricted earth fault and residual earth fault applications to protect generators, motors, transformers and reactors.

The 611 series relays fully support the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperability of substation automation equipment.

This includes fast GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) messaging, and can now also benefit from the extended interoperability offered by version 2 of the standard.

The relays further support the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and the High Availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol (HSR).

The 611 series relays can use both IEC 61850 and Modbus® communication protocols.

The REB611 is a member of the ABB Relion® product family and part of the 611 protection and control product family.

The 611 series relays are characterized by a compact and withdrawable unit design.

The 611 series offers simplified yet powerful functionality for most applications. After entering the application-specific parameter set, the installed relay is ready for operation.

The IEC 61850 standard further increases communication capabilities and interoperability between substation automation equipment, adding flexibility and value for end users and electrical system manufacturers.

The REB611 is a specialized busbar protective relay designed for split-phase short-circuit protection, control and monitoring of single busbars.

The REB611 is used for high impedance based applications in utility substations and industrial power systems.

In addition, this protective relay can be used in restricted earth fault and residual earth fault applications to protect generators, motors, transformers and reactors.The REB611 is available in one standard configuration.

Digital relays are based on the use of microprocessors. The first digital relay was released in 1985.

One of the major differences between traditional electromechanical relays and static relays is the way the relays are wired.

Electromechanical and static relays have fixed wiring and are set to manual.

Digital relays, on the other hand, are programmable relays whose characteristics and behavior can be programmed. Most digital relays are also multifunctional.
