5.4.2.2 Defining current limits (Imax controller)
The V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) is provided with a current limitation control which is decisi-
ve for the dynamic behaviour under load and counteracts exceedance of the maximum current in
motor or generator mode. This current limitation control is called I
max
control.
• The efficiency (motor current) measured by the I
max
control is compared with the current limit
value for motor load set in C022 and the current limit value for generator mode set in C023 .
• If the current limit values are exceeded, the controller changes its dynamic behaviour.
Motor overload during acceleration
The controller prolongs the acceleration ramp to keep the current on or below the current limit.
Generator overload during deceleration
The controller prolongs the deceleration ramp to keep the current on or below the current limit.
Increasing load with constant speed
• If the motor current limit value is reached:
• The controller reduces the effective speed setpoint until a stable working point is set or an
effective speed setpoint of 0 rpm is reached.
• If the load is reduced, the controller increases the effective speed setpoint until the setpoint
speed is reached or the load reaches the current limit value again.
• When the generator current limit value is reached:
• The controller increases the effective speed setpoint until a stable working point is set or the
maximally permissible speed ( C909 ) or output frequency ( C910 ).
• If the load is reduced, the controller reduces the effective speed setpoint until the setpoint
speed is reached or the load reaches the current limit value again.
• If a sudden load is built up at the motor shaft (e.g. drive is blocked), the overcurrent disconnec-
tion may respond (fault message OC1).
