Check drive for loss of Direction input or Enabled input

Toggle FAQ

If replacing a motor encoder on a permanent magnet machine (i.e Endat encoder) then ropes will have to be lifted and a rotational auto-tune will be required. When replacing an incremental encoder on an induction motor a static auto-tune would in most cases be sufficient.

Please refer to job contract manual for relevant auto-tune procedure.

Toggle FAQ
  1. Changes to drive parameters must be manually saved otherwise they will be lost after power-down.
  2. Navigate to the beginning of any menu which will have a number followed by 00 i.e 1.00 or 2.00.
  3. Press ‘M’ until the cursor flashes on the value (which will be 0).
  4. Using the keypad change this 0 to 1000 and press M followed by the red reset button. The 1000 will then change back to 0. This indicates that the parameters have been saved. If the value of 1000 does not change back to 0 then the save has not been successful, repeat the process. To confirm parameters have saved, power down the drive i.e turn off mains isolator, UPS if fitted and disconnect any backup batteries. Then reinstate the supply and check the last parameter edited.
Toggle FAQ

Note: DO NOT change parameter 0.48 or 11.31 as this will default the drive parameter file.

  • Set parameter 3.24 to 1
  • Set parameter 3.40 to 0

In order to return the drive mode back to ‘closed loop’ set the following parameters.

  • Set parameter 3.24 to 0
  • Set parameter 3.40 to 1
Toggle FAQ

These are hardware faults, drive must be removed. Please contact TVC to discuss options for replacement.

Toggle FAQ

Please refer to relevant contract manual for full description of these trips but here are some common causes.

Check the following:

  • Brake is lifting correctly. (Check Brake and Brake Circuit).
  • Lubricate car/counterweight guides.
  • Check for stiction in car/counterweight guides.
  • Check motor encoder wiring.
  • Possible faulty motor encoder.
  • Excessive Accel/Decel rates.
  • Check motor encoder coupling.

Toggle FAQ
  1.  If replacing a Motor Encoder on a Permanent Magnet Machine (i.e Endat Encoder) we would recommend a rotational autotune is carried out. However, a Static tune can also be carried out, but it is advisable to do it 3 consecutive times. Making sure the learnt Phase Angle C.13 on each attempt come backs with a value less a couple degrees deviation.
  2. When replacing an Incremental Encoder on an Induction Motor a Static Auto-Tune would in most cases be enough. Please refer to job contract manual for relevant auto-tune procedure.
Toggle FAQ
  1. Change parameter C.14 from Feedback to Sensorless (Do Not Change The Control Mode To Open Loop A.02 or B.01).
  2. Change parameter C.21 Bit 0 (First Bit on Right) from 1 to 0. This will disable the Encoder Wire Break Detection. If left enabled the drive will report an Encoder 2 trip error.
  3. It’s important an Autotune is carried to optimise motor control prior to running the lift on Test.
  4. The parameter changed should be saved, however they will need to be set back to TVC default values once the encoder is fitted

ON RECEIPT OF THE UPS

· Please check for damage. Please inform TVC of any damage is found.

· This is to be fitted in a clean dry and dust proof location.

PLEASE NOTE

  • The UPS must have 300mm clear space behind the ups exhaust port (fan) for ventilation.
  • The dry contact card should be configured and wired as per TVC diagram and slotted in to the expansion slot on the rear of ups. Also check R.E.P.O jumper is fitted to rear of UPS (remote emergency power off )Please check range of ups as not fitted to all (default off , as set by manufacturer).
  • UPS wiring should be of a suitable type and be rated to the same size cable as the TVC mains and motor wiring in the panel. Suitable glands should be fitted to protect cable entry into the UPS .Isolate mains supply and UPS supply and verify before any works are carried out.
  • Mains isolator should be checked for an additional pole to disable ups auto rescue when mains isolator is manually switched off.
  • Before powering on UPS the wiring should be checked that the terminals are wired correctly, US1,US2, US3 for input and US4,US5,US6 for output . If wired incorrectly this will damage the UPS.
