[GL3NN 3]

Hi Gurus iv got a powerflex 0.37kw inverter 4M that needs to wind up paper on a reel it works fine with regards to start stop and speed control on pot, but i need to adjust the torque as my product is just snapping when there is to much tension ive had a look at the parameter lists and nothings jumping out at me please see parameter list attached if any one could help me id be very grateful 

 

kind regards Glenn

You're probably reaching your vfd's current limit or the motor speed is too low. I suggest to check the current and also consider using a reducer gearbox or pulleys.

The 4M may not be enough drive for this. See this tech note (access level: everyone):

You may need to register for a free account to read it.

You may also be able to install a sort of dancer arm or tension measurement (like a load cell?) to serve as a speed trim to the drive.

Might need a 40 class

Hi just a quick update if anyone out there is looking at this and wants to run a 4M inverter the way i do change parameter A453 that's set at factory default 8  to 1  this will allow the motor to stall and not go into fault mode

Because of your name... My daughters went to Coastal Carolina University, and their mascot is a Chanticleer...

Hi Armadillo852,

I visited the CCU link. Very nice story and very interesting character (this Chantecleer)

I borrowed the name from a movie I watched with my children years ago called Rock-a-Doodle

I think the movie was based upon an Edmond Rostand’s play called Chantecler

Edmond Rostand is better known for his Cyrano de Bergerac

Bye
