ACOPOS P3 - asynchronous motor

Hello,

I would like to control an asynchronous motor using an output from an ACOPOS P3.

I’ve been searching the help section for a few days now without success.

Specifically, I’m trying to find out if I can control this motor using the Mapp Motion library.

Do you have any suggestions?

Best regards,

Hi @Clement_Auffret ,

There are already plenty of posts on this topic; you can find them by searching for ‘induction motor’.

Induction motors have two basic operating modes: ‘U/f’ and ‘vector control’. The latter always requires speed feedback.

Also these expressions might be reasonable for searching in the community.

Hi @Clement_Auffret ,
any news? Have you spined your asynchronous motor?

Hello,

Not at the moment, no. I’ve added an induction motor as explained in other forum posts. I’ve also configured the drive to voltage-frequency mode.

P3 + motor induction

At the moment, I’m not sure how to control it.

Do I need to create a real axis (via MpLink - mappmotion) and reference it in the drive?

Do I need to use the PLC Open to control this axis in frequency mode?

Hi @Clement_Auffret ,
as first step just spin your motor with mapp Cockpit and no lines of code.
I see 2 pars are missing in your configuration:

0.055 and 1200 are values for my tests, if you don’t set any values you get “Invalid Configuration”

Basically you call:

  1. Power ON
  2. Move Velocity
  3. Stop

Thanks a lot, I try what you say and it’s working :slightly_smiling_face: .

Sorry for my later answer
