Commissioning preparation

Power-on checks

Confirm the following before applying power.

ItemContent
Supply voltageConfirm the supply voltage is correct (380 V AC–480 V AC, 50/60 Hz). Ensure input terminals (R/S/T) are firmly wired.
GroundingConfirm the drive and motor are grounded correctly.
Drive output and motor terminalsConfirm the drive output (U1V1W1/U2V2W2) to motor wiring is firm and verify that each motor’s terminals match its encoder connection.
Control-circuit wiringConfirm the control-circuit terminals are firmly wired to other control devices.
Control-terminal stateConfirm all control-circuit terminals are OFF (drive is not running).
LoadConfirm the motor is unloaded and disconnected from the mechanical system.

Setting the command mode

Set the command source to the LED operator panel (F0-02=0) so commissioning can be performed from the panel.

Motor-parameter identification

There are two encoder types in hydraulic servo systems:

  • C1 drive (high-performance, tuning-free): the A3 series encoder enables tuning-free operation for better software usability.
  • R1 drive (resolver): requires motor-parameter identification.

Motor parameters

F1-00F1-05 are motor nameplate parameters. When using an Inovance R1 encoder motor, simply set FP-02 to the motor code and the drive automatically writes the F1-group motor basics. When using FP-02, make sure UVW output wiring is correct, and run F1-16=1 afterward to verify by one identification pass.

Motor-parameter identification modes

F1-16 values:

ValueModeNotes
0No action
1No-load static identificationUse when back-EMF is known; motor runs at low speed; can be done without opening the relief valve
2No-load dynamic identificationUse when back-EMF is unknown; motor runs at high speed; the relief valve must be open
3Loaded static identificationUse when back-EMF is known and the motor has a heavy load; low-speed run
4No-load fast dynamic identification (reverse high-speed)Fast dynamic identification
5No-load dynamic identification (forward high-speed)Forward identification
6No-load fast dynamic identification (forward high-speed)Fast forward identification
7Extra static identification in SVC modeIf wiring is correct but the drive reports E43.00 during static or dynamic identification, use mode 7
⚠️

If the wiring is correct but E43.00 is reported during static identification 1 or dynamic identification, use mode 7 to learn.

Static identification procedure

StepProcedure
Step 1After power-up, set the command source to the LED panel (F0-02=0).
Step 2Enter the motor nameplate parameters (F1-00F1-05); if an encoder is used, enter its parameters (A1-00, A1-04, A1-06).
Step 3Set F1-16=1 (static identification 1), press ENTER; the keypad shows TUNE.
Step 4Press RUN on the LED keypad to enable. The drive accelerates, decelerates, and rotates forward/backward; the run LED is on. The procedure takes about 2 minutes. When the display returns to normal, identification is complete.

After full identification, the drive automatically calculates:

  • F1-11: synchronous-motor D-axis inductance
  • F1-12: synchronous-motor Q-axis inductance
  • F1-13: synchronous-motor stator resistance

Dynamic identification procedure

For motors with constant output characteristics or high-accuracy applications, perform dynamic identification with the load decoupled to get the best result.

StepProcedure
Step 1After power-up, set the command source to the panel (F0-02=0).
Step 2Enter the motor nameplate parameters (F1-00F1-05).
Step 3If F0-01=1 (FVC closed-loop vector), enter encoder parameters (A1-00, A1-04, A1-06).
Step 4Set F1-16=2 (no-load dynamic identification), press ENTER.
Step 5Press RUN on the LED keypad to enable. The drive accelerates, decelerates, and rotates forward/backward; the run LED is on. When the display returns to normal, identification is complete.

Observing the run state

  1. After identification, set F0-08=5.00Hz for a low-speed test run.
  2. Check that the running current is small and steady. If current is large, check motor parameters (F1 group) and pole pairs (A1-04); if any are changed, re-run identification and repeat the low-speed check.
  3. After identification, check that the drive’s running direction is correct. If not, swap any two phases of the motor UVW, then re-run identification.
  4. Check that motor operation is normal:
⚠️

If the motor oscillates or makes a low rumbling sound during operation, weaken the speed loop and current loop—decrease F2-00, F2-03, F2-13F2-16, and increase F2-01, F2-04. If the speed is unstable, strengthen the speed and current loops. Make sure the relief valve is fully open to ensure the test run is unloaded.

Servo-pump application commissioning

AI zero-drift auto-correction

StepFunction codeNotes
Set command sourceF0-02=0Panel control; the panel “LOCAL/REMOT” LED is off
AI zero-drift auto-correctionA3-20=1Press RUN; AI zero drift is corrected automatically

Manual correction: with the drive disabled, read the three AI channels U1-04, U1-05, U1-06. Take the maximum value plus 80 mV margin and write it to F4-18, F4-23, and F4-28 respectively. After auto-correction finishes, A3-20 automatically returns to “0”.

Pressure-mode selection

CodeNameSettingNotes
A3-00Pressure-mode selection0: non-pressure controlNon-pressure mode
1: drive pressure control 1 (CAN-given)Specific to Yeasn
2: drive pressure control 2 (analog-given)Analog flow/pressure
3: CAN pressure modeYeasn-specific, 485 command
4: EST modeYeasn-specific, 485 command
5: EST new modeYeasn-specific CAN command
6: CANopen modeCANopen pressure loop

When switching from non-pressure mode (A3-00=0) to pressure mode (A3-00≠0), the following parameters are set automatically:

CodeDescriptionAuto value
F0-01Control mode1 (vector control)
F0-02Command source1 (terminal)
F0-17Acceleration time0.0 s
F0-18Deceleration time0.0 s
F1-00Motor type2 (synchronous motor)
⚠️

In pressure mode, changes to these parameters are retained through power cycles (they are restored to the auto value when the drive is power-cycled). Switching back to non-pressure mode restores the values held before entering pressure mode.

Pressure release

CodeNameSettingNotes
A3-08Max reverse speedPercentage of max speed (A3-01)Largest reverse speed during pressure release. Higher values give faster release but more pump-reversal noise.

Base flow and base pressure

Because of internal leakage in the pump, when no flow or pressure command is given, the hydraulic fluid flows back into the tank, letting air into the oil path and creating noise and instability. A small base flow and base pressure are therefore required.

A3-26Group-1 pressure-command fall S-filter0.001 s–1.000 sS-curve filter

Shorter filter times give faster pressure response with larger overshoot; longer filter times slow the response and reduce overshoot.

Flow command filter times

Shorter filter times give faster pressure response with more mechanical shock; longer filter times give smoother operation.

Pressure PID response tuning

PID group selection

The drive provides four PID groups selected by the combination of DI inputs 48# and 49#:

DI3 (49#DI function)DI2 (48#DI function)PID group
00Group 1: A3-05, A3-06, A3-07
01Group 2: A3-11, A3-12, A3-13
10Group 3: A3-14, A3-15, A3-16
11Group 4: A3-17, A3-18, A3-19

Higher proportional gain Kp, shorter integral time Ki, and larger derivative time Kd give faster response, but if response is too fast it will overshoot and oscillate. Conversely, a weak response lowers efficiency and causes inconsistent parts.

Pressure PID proportional gain

Parameters: A3-05, A3-11, A3-14, A3-17

Higher gain gives faster pressure response; too high causes oscillation.

Pressure PID integral time

Parameters: A3-06, A3-12, A3-15, A3-18

Shorter integral time gives faster pressure response; too short causes overshoot; too weak causes pressure instability.

Pressure-loop gain coefficient

CodeNameRangeMin unitDefaultChange
A3-29Pressure-loop gain coefficient0.20–5.000.011.00Changeable

Used to tune the overall pressure-loop response. Higher values make the loop more responsive; too high causes oscillation; lower values slow the loop.

⚠️

When the hydraulic inertia is large or the hose is long and thin, this gain usually needs to be reduced.

Holding-pressure stability

If holding pressure fluctuates significantly, improve stability by strengthening the low-speed speed-loop response—raise F2-00 moderately and reduce F2-01. Do not overdo it or motor control will oscillate.

CodeNameRangeMin unitDefaultChange
F2-00Speed-loop P gain 11–400160Changeable
F2-01Speed-loop I time 10.01 s–10.00 s0.01 s0.3 sChangeable

The speed-loop and current-loop responses directly affect pressure stability. When conditions allow, set them as strong as possible.
