How to control Kollmorgen ServoDrive by

pc

First of all, don’t break the network, means


keep the CANBUS connected to the desired
drive and hook-up your wires Tx & Rx for
the RS232-USB PC connection. Or check
the wiring diagram in your machine, may
it’s connected or prepared to get rs232 in
main PC or HMI.

To active the enable button, you have to do


all required conditions, for us from Minossi
just run the hydraulic pump and rotate the
desired motor for test for one second by
jog, then go to DRIVE software.
Now it’s enabled
Otherwise you will face this message:
If you face this problem:

Just enable the machine ( try jog first)

While the motor is running you can go to


the monitor page to check the running
data:
You can change the function to the
available option

For graphic recording try many times to


record and finally you will success,
By increasing the time interval:
To change some data in manual:

Like address

After any change you have to save it by:


By holding the right button and momentary
press the left button you will enter or exit
from parameter.

Enjoy.

Problem to write to supplier


Dear Sir

I have ServoStar 610-AS, S/N 00730431763,


suppling a motor DBL4-0530-30-Y S60 S-BP,
the problem is the motor giving noise, little
vibration and heat without motion yet, that’s
when the drive is enabled, I have increased the
Kp in the current controller page (it was 5, and
I make 18), the noise and vibration become very
small now.

The problem is motor draw much current and


later i2t alarm stopping the motor.
I have set the max. peak current to 1A the
problem dose not come again.

Please guide me to the correct procedure to solve


this problem and save my motor.

Kind regards

Update on 2/9/2020:

The previews problem hasn’t been solved, even


the supplier didn’t replay to us, the problem just
now solved by replacing the servo amplifier by
606AS- servo star (6A), which is the similar to
the 610-AS except the current

How to drive measuring the motor temperature without sensor?

How the over temperature protection


achieved here?

How do over-current and i2t protections work?


The I2t protection works as a long time protection and the
over-current as an immediate protection.
Let's take the over-current protection first. We assume
that the over-current value is 4 A for 500 ms. With this
setting, a current of 4 A or higher that is maintained
through the motor for more than 500 ms will trigger the
protection. Now, if we think a little about the reason for
the over-current protection, we come to the conclusion that
this is also a thermal protection — after all, a too big
current in the motor can melt the windings to a complete
disaster (worst case), or the motor will stop before the
winding insulation is destroyed by the temperature, resulting
(only) in a short circuit.

Coming back to the settings of the over-current protection,


you must keep in mind that the protection will be triggered
beyond 500 ms as well, for a current of 16.5 A (because it
is higher than 4 A). Needless to say that as concerns the
motor there is a very big difference between 4 A for
500 ms, and 16.5 A for 500 ms. To overcome this, you
must also set the current limit of the drive, so if you want
to be sure that the current through the motor won't
exceed 4 A, you must set the current limit to 4 A - thus
ensuring a maximum current through the motor of 4 A
(due to the current limit parameter) and a maximum time
that this current is allowed of 500 ms (due to the over-
current protection). However, in some cases, you can let
the current limit to be higher than 4 A, to allow for good
accelerations/decelerations.

Now, if we think one step further and imagine the worst


case scenario, where the motor is supplied with 4 A for
450 ms, and then 3.9 A for 10 ms; and then again, 4 A
for 450 ms and then 3.9 A and so on - the result is that
the motor will overheat and burn out without having the
over-current protection triggered!

In this scenario, we can't use the current limit anymore to


prevent it, but we can use the I2t protection.
The I2t protection keeps track of the motor temperature
by monitoring the motor current and computing the over-
temperature. Any current above the nominal value will
produce a bigger or a smaller overheat to the motor, and -
on the same basis - a current below the nominal value will
allow the motor to decrease its temperature (down to the
ambient temperature, in the best case = current zero =
motor stopped). And this is how the I2t works: while the
motor has a current higher than the nominal one, the drive
will consider that the motor temperature is increasing; and
when a certain threshold (based on the settings of the I2t
protection from Drive Setup dialog) is reached, the
protection will be triggered.

Term definitions
Standstill torque M0 [Nm]
The standstill torque can be maintained
indefinitely at a speed n<100 rpm and
rated ambient conditions.
Rated torque Mn [Nm]
The rated torque is produced when the
motor is drawing the rated current at
the rated speed.
The rated torque can be produced
indefinitely at the rated speed in
continuous operation (S1).
Nominal speed nn [rpm]
At the nominal speed motor output
corresponds to the rated torque and
the rated output. The nominal speed
depends on the supply voltage. The
example below refers to supply voltages
of 24 and 48 VDC. The supply voltages
are specified without tolerances.
Standstill current I0rms [A]
The standstill current is the effective
sinusoidal current which the motor
draws at n<100 rpm to produce the
standstill torque.
Peak current (pulse current) I0max [A]
The peak current (effective sinusoidal
value) is approximately equivalent to 5-
times the rated standstill current. The
configured peak current of the servo
terminal used must be smaller.
Torque constant KTrms [Nm/A]
The torque constant defines how much
torque in Nm is produced by the motor
with standstill current. The relationship
is M0 = I0 x KT
Voltage constant KErms [mVmin]
The voltage constant defines the induced
motor EMF at 20 °C, as an effective
sinusoidal value between two terminals,
per 1000 rpm.
Rotor moment of inertia J [kgcm²]
The constant J is a measure of the
acceleration capability of the motor. For
instance, at I0 the acceleration time
tb from 0 to 3000 rpm is given as:
with M0 in Nm and J in
kgcm2
Thermal time constant tTH [min]
The constant tTH defines the time for
the cold motor, under a load of I0 to
heat up to an overtemperature of 0.63
x 100 Kelvin.
This temperature rise happens in a
much shorter time when the motor is
loaded with the peak current.
Release delay time tBRH [ms] /
Application delay time tBRL [ms] of
the brake
These constants define the response
times of the stopping brake when
operated with the rated voltage at the
servo terminal.
