AMC Vector Drive: Fadal

The document provides instructions for adjusting an AMC Vector drive used with Fadal CNC machines. Key points: 1) The drive's HP rating must match the motor's HP rating or the motor may not run at full speed. 2) LEDs indicate drive conditions like overcurrent, overvoltage, and faults. 3) Switches and pots control settings like acceleration time and current limit. 4) Pots are adjusted in a specific order to set acceleration, loop gain, offset, and velocity output.

AMC Vector Drive

Adjusting AMC The AMC VE150AD Vector drive works with all spindle controller cards. The
Vector Drive AMC Drive HP rating must match the motor HP rating. If they are mismatched,
the motor may not run to full speed.

LEDs • Over Current - Red for overcurrent; otherwise green


• Over Voltage - Red for bus overvoltage; otherwise green
• Under Voltage - Red for bus undervoltage; otherwise green
• Regen - Red when regenning; otherwise green
• Temp - Red for drive overtemp; otherwise green
• Wye/Delta - Red for Wye, green for Delta
• Fault - Red for fault; otherwise green
• Encoder pulses - flashes when encoder pulses received

Pot Adjustments Adjust Accel, Decel, Loop gain, Offset, and Reference gain in the following
order:

ACCEL/DECEL:

(These pots have no effect in rigid tap mode).

Machine must be off. Measure from P6-5 to test point below pot. 20k ohms for
2.2 sec Acc/Dec (11.8k for 3.5 sec). Turn CW to increase time.

LOOP GAIN:

Remove P2 connector and install jumper plug (FOR & REV to COM). Turn Loop
Gain CW until it hums, then turn two turns CCW. Remove jumper plug and
install P2 connectors.

TEST/OFFSET:

Rigid Tap Machines:

In MDI enter “G84.2”.


Adjust Offset for 0 VDC at P2 pins 4 and 6 (Ref In+ and Gnd).

Non Rigid Tap Machines:

Remove P2 connector and install jumper plug (FOR and REV to COM).
Adjust Offset until spindle stops.
Remove jumper plug and install P2 connector.

REF. GAIN:

In MDI, enter “S1000 M49 M3”.


Adjust Ref. Gain and read voltage at Velocity Monitors (P6-1, gnd P6-5).

10,000 Hi/Lo (2:1) Adjust Ref. Gain for -1.17VDC


7500 direct (1:1) Adjust Ref. Gain for -0.56VDC
15,000 direct (1:3) Use S6000. Adjust Ref. Gain for -1.17VDC

Note: If pots were not preset, or if problems are encountered, preset pots as
follows:

LOOP GAIN: Turn fully CCW (minimum loop gain)

CURRENT LIMIT: Turn fully CW (maximum current)

REF. GAIN: Turn fully CW (maximum gain)

TEST/OFFSET: Turn fully CCW, then 8 turns CW (middle)

FLUX: Not Adjustable.

ACCEL/DECEL: 20k ohms for 2.2 sec Acc/Dec (11.8k for 3.5 sec) (Measure
from P6-5 to Test Points below pots.

Machine must be off when setting pot with ohmmeter).
