Granity setup software has a motor resistance and inductance measurement function that works with IONI drives.
Using automatic measure is the new recommended approach to set MR and ML parameters accurately even when motor data sheet would provide these values. This is because many data sheets unfortunately provide wildly inaccurate values. Some manufacturers have apparently characterized motor inductance at high frequency range (hundreds of kHz) which typically gives a value more than 50% off from the real inductance.
Checklist
To successfully measure, following conditions must be met:
- Motor type selected
- Motor connected and parameterized (except MR and ML can be any value)
- Power on and enabled (any control mode)
- If Brush DC motor, motor shaft must be mechanically locked in place
Device status must have all of following bits on:
- Initialized
- Enabled
- Run
- Voltages good
Device status must NOT have any of the following bits on:
- Fault stopped
- STO active
- Permanent stop
- Error recovering
- Homing
Execution
To start measurement, click "Measure resistance & inductance" button. The procedure takes about 10 seconds to complete and if sucessfull, the MR and ML parameters will be updated by the measured values.
