1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


1.1

Fundamentals of AC servo control


Definition of Servo
For the purpose of the Japanese Industrial Standards, a servomechanism
is defined as a control system designed to track a target that changes
unpredictably, with the position, bearing, orientation, etc., of a physical
object as the control quantity. When the target value (position, speed,
etc.) is input to the servomechanism from the command section, the
servomechanism detects the current value, and continually executes
control to reduce the difference between the current value and target
value.
The elements that comprise a servomechanism are called servo elements.
And in the case of Mitsubishis MELSERVO-J2S AC servo, these
elements are the drive amplifier (AC servo amplifier), the motor (AC
servomotor), and the detector. The configuration of this servomechanism
is shown in Fig. 1.1.

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


1.2

General Characteristics of Servo


As implied in the foregoing section of a servomechanism, the basic
function and performance requirement of a servomotor is to track a
continually changing target quickly in response to speed/position control.
To enable a servomotor to fulfill this requirement, it must be designed
with greater consideration given to the moment of inertia of the rotor (also
called GD2), and electrical responsibility, than is necessary for a general
purpose motor. The reason for this is to ensure that the servomotor can
respond to sudden changes in the voltage and current from the servo
amplifier. The servo amplifier that drives the servomotor must also be
capable of quickly and accurately transmitting the speed and position
control commands to the servomotor.
With these points in mind, the following gives a comparison between the
typical characteristics obtained when using a servomotor in combination
with a servo amplifier and the characteristics of a motor driven by a
general purpose inverter (a widely used type of variable speed controller)
(1) Comparison of characteristics of a servomotor and general purpose
inverter
The characteristics of a motor are
commonly assessed by looking at
its speed-torque characteristics.
Fig 1.2 compares a servomotor and
a general purpose motor used in
combination with general purpose
inverter on this basis. The superior
qualities of the servomotor are
clear from this figure.
It has three main advantages:
(a) The motor have a wide speed
control range
(b) It maintains a constant output
torque from high speeds (the
rated speed) to low speeds (the
stalling speed).
(c) It has a high maximum torque.
Note: Since the motors maximum
torque is high but its moment of
inertia is low, it is capable of
sudden acceleration and
deceleration

When selecting a servomotor, the function and performance of the


machine concerned must always be considered in the light of the
points explained above.

add some details to our explanation.

Maximum torque

(150%)

Can be used down to 1/1000th of the rated speed


without any concern of reduced rotational
stability or reduced torque
A constant output torque is maintained
throughout the speed control range, whether at
the continuous output torque or maximum
torque.
In other words, the motor can be used safely over
the entire speed range even with rated torque
load.
An instantaneous maximum torque of
approximately 300% of the rated torque can be
obtained.
This enables the motor to accelerate and
decelerate suddenly, which means that it can be
for high frequency positioning

Note: The figures in parentheses are typical specifications for a general purpose inverter.
(2) Application of AC servomotors
The main characteristics of servomotors have been described. In
addition, servomotors become capable of a function that is beyond
other variable speed controllers when used in combination with servo
amplifiers: the positioning function.
The positioning function is described in detail in Chapter 2; here
typical servomotor applications made possible by the characteristics
described in section (1) on the previous page and the positioning
function are explained.
(a) Machines that require positioning
Using the AC servomechanism in combination with specialized
positioning controller (see chapter 6) enables accurate positioning
with good reproducibility.
A general purpose Mitsubishi AC servomechanism is capable of a
positioning resolution of 120000 to 4000 divisions per motor axis
revolution, which is sufficient to achieve positioning in units of
1um with machine travel in the range 24 to 8 m/min.
Example application:
Machine tools, wood working machines, conveyors, packaging
machines, inserter/mounters, feeder, cutters and specialized
machinery.

1-3

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


(b) Machines that requires a wide range of speed variation
The AC servomotor has a speed control range of 1:1000, and
features highly accurate speed control, with a coefficient of speed
fluctuation of no greater than 0.03%. It also features constant
output torque, a characteristics not featured by other variable speed
motors. Because of these characteristics, it is used for control of
production lines and other applications where highly accurate
variable speed drive is required.
Example Applications:
Printing presses, paper processing machines, film manufacturing
line, wire making machines, winding machines, feed mechanisms
of specialized machines, conveyors, main shafts of
winding/unwinding machines, and wood working machines.
(c) High frequency positioning
Positioning is performed as explained in (a) on the previous page.
The maximum torque of the AC servomotor is 300% of the rate
torque and a motor, when it is unloaded, can follow the
acceleration and deceleration from the stopped state to the rated
speed in a mere several tens of milliseconds, which means it can
drive positioning operations at frequencies of 100 times per
minutes and higher. Another important characteristic of the AC
servomotor is that it has no parts that make mechanical contact, in
contrast to other positioning mechanism (clutch, brake, DC motors,
etc.); this makes it maintenance-free and means that it is not
greatly influenced by the ambient temperature.
Example applications:
Press feeder, bad-making machine, sheet cutting machine,
loader/unloaders, filling machine, packaging machines, conveyors.
(d) Torque control
Since recent digital servomotors feature torque control in addition
to conventional functions such as speed control and position
control, they can be used for applications that involve tension
control, such as winding/unwinding machines.

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


(3) Other characteristics, Summary
In addition to the speed control range already dealt with, there are
other basic aspects of the performance of a motor- such as
responsibility- that show its speed control characteristics.
Fig 1.3 compares an AC servomotor and general purpose inverter on
the basis of control performance and functions of an inverter and
general purpose AC servo in actual use.
Responsibility
The responsibility is a measure of the speed
of follow-up in response to changes in
commands and disturbance.
It is a guide to the maximum severity of
sudden load fluctuation that can be dealt
with by following commands without
causing any speed fluctuation.
For example, a motor that has a
responsibility of 600 rad/s will be able to
tolerate a load fluctuation of approximately
100Hz with no appreciable influence on
speed.

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


1.4
Mechanism of the AC servo
1.4.1 Servo amplifier block diagram and principle of operation
The basic function and principle of operation of a servo amplifier are described
here by reference to the block diagram presented below.

Fig 1.3 Block Diagram of AC Servomotor

1-10

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


(1) Main Circuit
The basic function of the main circuit is to rectify and smooth a commercial power supply (3-phase,
200 to 230 VAC, 50/60Hz) by means of a converter (diode bridge, capacitor), and supply a 3-phase
current of any voltage and frequency that is subjected to sine wave PWM control by the inverter
(power transistor module)- to the motor to control its speed and torque.
(a) Converter, smoothing capacitor
The commercial power supply is rectified by a diode bridge and then has its ripple reduced by a
smoothing capacitor to generate a low-ripple DC power supply.

(b) Inverter
The inverter generates, from the DC power supply created by the converter and smoothing
capacitor, a current matched to the frequency and load torque at the motors rotational speed.

Fig 1.5 Configuration of the inverter section

1-11

Fig 1.6 Inverter output current

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


As shown in Fig. 1.7, the direction of rotation and the rotational speed (frequency) of
the motor are determined by the direction of the current and the width of turn on time
in each direction, which depend on the ON/ OFF switching of the transistors in the
inverter section. This type of the control, in which the size of the current is controlled
by the width of turn on time, is called PWM control (pulse width control).

Fig. 1.7 Current Control Using the PWM Method

(c) Regenerative brake


1) Regenerative brake circuit
The regenerative brake operates when the actual rotational speed of the
motor is higher than the speed reference- e.g. during deceleration, during
descent on a vertical axis, or when a braking force is applied to an
unwinding shaft to achieve a braking effect by absorbing (consuming)
the rotational energy of the motor and load in the servo amplifier.
This kind of operation is called regenerative , and servo amplifiers
normally incorporate a regenerative circuit. This regenerative circuit acts
as a load on the motor, and its rate of energy consumption determines the
regenerative braking force. The amount of rotational energy consumed
varies according to the operating condition. When a large amount of
energy has to be consumed, a circuit capable of consuming this energy is
provided outside the servo amplifier.
2) Types of regenerative brake circuit
z Where a small braking capacity is required (the amount of rotational
energy to be consumed is small ), braking is achieved by using the energy
to temporarily charge the smoothing capacitor mentioned previously.
This is called the condenser regenerative method and can be used for
applications up to about 0.4kW.
z In case where a medium braking capacity is required, a method in
which current is passed through resistors and the energy consumed as heat
is adopted; this is called the resistor regenerative methods. The problems
associated with this method include the need to use large resistors if the
amount of energy to be consumed is large, and adverse effects on
surrounding parts due to heat radiating from the resistors.
z In case where a large braking capacity is required, a method in which
energy is returned to the power supply has recently been adopted in order
to avoid the deficiencies of the resistor regenerative method. This is called
the power supply regenerative method and it can be use when the amount
of energy involved exceeds 11kW.

1-12

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


(d) Dynamic brake
When it stops with the output of inverter parts, such as the time of power cut
off and alarm generating, ( base interception ), a motor serves as a free run,
and time long to a stop may be required, the long overrun may become
large, and it may serve as fault of colliding with a stroke end.
A dynamic brake functions to stop the motor quickly in the event of a base
circuit cut-off by short circuiting the servomotor terminals through an
appropriate resistor and consuming the rotational energy as heat. a dynamic
brake is usually installed separately from the motor and amplifier, but it is
incorporated into some models of servo amplifier. Since a dynamic brake
has no holding power when a mechanical brake if the motor drive motion on
a vertical axis.

1-13

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


Due to the delay in the control circuit, the motor will rotate with delay on input of
the command pulse to the position control section. The pulses that accumulate
during this delay are held at the deviation counter; these pulses are called droop
pulse. The droop pulses are output to the speed control section as speed
commands.
(2)

Control Circuit
While carrying out operation processing of the amount of control (a
position, speed, current) at high speed and with high precision from an
instruction value (target value) and the present value using a
microcomputer and realizing Servo control with high accuracy by high
response, the monitor of the contents of control and protection of a unit are
performed. The outline of the contents of control is explained below.
(a) Position Control
In a pulse sequence, control of the rotation speed and the direction
of a motor and highly precise positioning are performed.

1-14

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


(b) Speed Control
The output of a position control part deviation counter is
proportional to instruction speed, and this serves as speed
instructions. A speed instruction part outputs the deviation of speed
instructions and motor speed as current instructions. In addition,
when operating in speed control mode, analog voltage (0-10V) is
inputted from the exterior as speed instructions.
(c) Current Control and 3-phase generating circuits
A current control part controls the current of a motor so that the
inverter of the main circuit is controlled and a motor moves as
position instructions or a speed instruction. In order to achieve this
control, the phases of the 3-phase alternating current are set to
coincide with the magnetic field of the motor(determined by the
positions of the rotors permanent magnets) and a current that
corresponds to the speed deviation is output

1-15

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


When supplying current to a synchronous motor, the position of the magnetic fields
(magnetic pole positions) must be aligned with the phases.
To achieve this alignment, the motors detector detects the magnetic pole positions and
continually feeds back this information to the servo amplifier. On the basis of this signal,
the servo amplifier generates the reference 3-phase current in the 3- phase generating
circuit. The current control section multiplies the reference 3-phase current by speed
deviation to generate 3 phase current commands and controls the PWM circuit.
Note: Induction type servomotors do not have independent magnetic fields. Accordingly,
magnetic pole position detection is not necessary when they are used.
A PWM system is a system which several times of switching pulses is generated in 1
cycle, and the pulse width is changed, and changes output voltage. The thing of the
number of switching pulses generated in 1 second is called career frequency. In the case
of a PWM system, the motor vibration and the motor noise of a frequency ingredient
proportional to this career frequency occur.

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


1.4.2

Characteristics and principle of operation of the AC servomotor


(1)
Characteristic
The output torque of the servomotor
is proportional to the current supplied
to it. See Section (3).
Since the servo amplifier continually
detects the motor speed and executes
control to change the amount of
current supplied in accordance with
the speed deviation, the servomotor is
able to produce a constant torque
from low speeds to high speeds. The
torque characteristics of a servomotor
Fig 1.12 Torque characteristics of a
operated in combination with a servo
servomotor (MELSERVO-J Series)
amplifier are shown in the figure to
the right.
(2)

Principle of operation
All motors, whether large or small
operate according to the same
principle: when a current is passed
through a conductor in a magnetic
field, a force whose direction can be
determined by using Flemings lefthand rule- is imparted to the
conducted (see the figure to the right).
The SM type (synchronous) AC
servomotor has permanent magnets as
its rotor and windings through which
the current is made to flow as its
stator; the current passed through the
stator windings is controlled in order
to achieve the required rotor motion
(rotational speed and direction, output
torque).

1-17

Principle by which motor


Torque is generated

Principle of Operation of SM
Type AC Servomotor

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


The amplifier transistors are switched ON
and OFF so as to supply current to each
motor winding when it is perpendicular to the
magnetic flux from the rotor magnet. The
applied voltage is switched at a frequency of
several kilohertz, and the current is smoothed
by the reactance of the windings and take the
form of a sine wave. The intervals during
which the winding voltage is plus and minus
are known from the magnetic pole position
detection signal which emitted by the
detector connected directly to the motor shaft
Since this system ensures that the magnetic flux and current flow are always
perpendicular to each other, the problem of getting out of step that affects normal
synchronous motors does not occur. The generated torque T, determined by the
following formula:
T = K1 Ia .(1-1)
Is proportional to the winding current, Ia, while the rotational speed, determined
by the following formula:
V - Ia Z (1-2)
N=
K2
Is proportional to the applied voltage, V.
Meaning of symbols:
T: torque; la: current; N: rotational speed; K1K2: constants
V: applied voltage; : magnetic flux; Z: winding resistance
(3)

Principle of the IM (induction motor) type of AC servomotor


The principle of torque generation is the
same for an induction motor as it is for a
synchronous motor. However, as can be seen
from the cross sectional diagram to the right,
the rotor does not incorporate a permanent
magnet which means that separate supply of
current, Ia, and magnetic flux, , (see
equation (1-1) and (1-2)) is impossible. In
this type of motor, current is passed through
the rotor windings and torque is generated by
the current caused to flow in the rotors
grooves due to electromagnetic inductance
Fig. 1.14 Cross section of
and the magnetic flux created by the stator
IM type AC servomotor
winding current.

1-18

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


Both torque current and magnetic flux current flow in the stator windings.
The relationship between the two is expressed by the following formula:
I1 = Ia + Ib ..(1-3)
I1: Stator winding current
Ib: Magnetic flux current

Ia: Torque current

Note: The equation above represents a vector sum, no an arithmetic sum.

The two currents in an IM type AC servomotor must be controlled


separately; this form of control is called vector control. Vector control
gives an IM type AC servomotor the same torque characteristics as an SM
type AC servomotor.
(4)

Types of servomotor and their characteristics


There are two main type of servomotor AC servomotor and DC
servomotors- but the category of AC servomotor is further divided into the
SM type (synchronous motors) and the IM type (inductance motors).

servomotor.

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


The servomotors growing base on DC motors that is liable to control. However,
with the development of electronic devices, and the microprocessor in particular,
it became possible to execute complex control faster and more cheaply, and the
market shifted to maintenance-free, easily manufactured AC motors; currently,
SM type AC servomotors are used in place of DC motors for most applications
requiring more than 0.4KW. IM type AC motors are sturdy constructed and can
combine large size with high speed. Since their efficiency improves as their
capacity increases, they are mainly used for applications requiring 7.5KW or
more. Due to improvements in their suitability for high-accuracy applications,
their use is increasing in large-scale production lines; an area formerly dominated
by DC motors and vector control inverters. DC servomotors have the advantage
that small capacity models can be produced cheaply, and because of this they
continue to be used mainly for applications requiring less than about 80W. Fig.
1.15 shows the recent development in the use of servomotors.

is feedback for comparison with the command value and control is executed to
reduce the deviation between the two.

3) Detection of the magnetic pole position of the motor (does
not apply to IM type AC servomotors and DC servomotors)

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF AC SERVO CONTROL


(4)

Absolute position encoders


Fitting absolute position encoders to motors is becoming an increasingly
common practice. The reasons for this include the need to improve timeefficiency (an absolute position detection system makes it unnecessary to
perform a home position return operation after the power has been cut
off). Since an absolute position
detection system must be able to
determine the rotational position
when the power is switched ON, the
encoder has to output another signal
in addition to the increment signals.
(A,B) introduced in (2) above. This
signal is the absolute position signal,
and in case of the encoder shown to
the right it would comprise 7 bits. A
block diagram for an absolute
position system is shown below.
Note: In addition to increment signals (phase A and B), absolute position
detectors feature absolute position detection within single motor revolutions and
a counter that counts the number of motor revolutions and a counter that count
the number of motor revolutions from the home position. Since this information
is stored in memory, once the position has been fixed by performing a home
position return operation the servo amplifier and controller always know the
motor position even if the power is switched OFF.
This means that is only necessary to perform a home position return operation
after switching the power ON once; position and speed control can be continued
without repeatedly performing home position return operations.

2. POSITIONING CONTROL USING AC SERVO


2.1
2.1.1

Positioning Method and Stopping Accuracy


Types of positioning
There are two types of method for stopping the moving part at a fixed
position within a required accuracy: mechanical methods and electrical
methods. Examples of mechanical methods include use of a stopper
(inverter stopper control and AC servo torque limit are used up until the
point the moving parts makes contact with the stopper). And forced
positioning by trapping the moving part (using a cylinder-actuated
mechanism, for example), but when these methods are used the moving
parts can only be stopped at particular positions. In contrast, the electrical
method makes use of a position sensor that make it easy to stop at any
required position. Electrical positioning can also be divided into a variety
of types depending on the methods used for position detection and control,
but there are two major methods- the speed control method and the
position control method.
(1)

Speed control methods


The motor is not equipped with the position output device but there
is a device for positioning purposes (such as limit switch) installed
in the machine.

(2)

Position control methods


There is no device for position detection in the machine, but the
detector fitted to the servomotor is capable of precise position
control.

These two types of method are compared in Table 2.1.

A limit switch is located at a point past


which the moving part traverses; when the
moving part actuates this switch, the switch
outputs a signal that stops the motor.
Generally, two switches are used; the signal
from the first causes the motor to reduce to
low speed and the signal from the second
switches the motor OFF and causes
application of a brake that stops the moving
part.
Since this method does not require the use of
a positioning controller and involves only
simple control, the necessary equipment can
be installed cheaply.

A pulse generator (pulse encoder) that

proportional to the distance moved, and
when the counter reaches the set count value
it output a stop signal to stop the moving
part.
When this method is used the system can be
configured without using devices such as
limit switches and the stopping position such
as limit switches and the stopping position
can be changed easily.

2.1.2

Positioning control and stopping accuracy for speed control methods


(1)
Limit switch method
When the part whose motion is driven by the motor is to be
stopped automatically, its position is normally detected by a device
such as a limit switch and the motor is stopped by the signal from
the limit switch (generally, a brake is applied at the same time).
The graph in figure 2.1 plots the speed of the moving part (vertical
axis, mm/sec) against time (Horizontal axis, seconds); the shaded
portion of the graph is therefore the distance move in millimeters.

Fig 2.2 Dispersion of overrun distance

The overrun distance after the limit switch has been actuated
corresponds to the area of CDE, and the stopping accuracy is the
dispersion of this area of CDE. The factors that affect the stopping
accuracy (the factors that cause variation in the area of CDE) by
referring to Fig.2.2. They are changes in the stopping time, ED,
(caused by fluctuation in load torque or brake torque), fluctuation
in the speed of the moving part at point C, dispersion in the sensor
operation position at point C, and dispersion in the time delay
between sensor operation and the point at which the motor actually
starts decelerating.
It is of course necessary to keep the dispersion of these
characteristics as low as possible, but the most effective strategy is
to reduce the speed (V). Therefore, if the stopping accuracy when
the moving part is stopped while it is traveling at the normal speed
is unsatisfactory, the most common solution is to install a limit
switch (see Table 2.1) that will reduce its speed to the low speed
before it is stopped. This approach is widely used because it is
convenient and improves accuracy, but its disadvantage is the
longer time required for positioning; a longer time must be allows
because if the period of constant low speed travel (duration of
creep speed) is not made long enough, the speed of the moving
part as it passes the stop limit switch will not be stable due to
factors such as load fluctuation. Another disadvantage is that an
increase in the number of stop positions makes more sensors
necessary.

2-3

2. POSITIONING CONTROL USING AC SERVO

(3)

Pulse count method


An improved version of the limit switch method is the pulse count
method. This method allows selection of stop positions without
restriction and allows any number of deceleration points to be
established; this makes time reductions possible for travel over
short distances. The stopping accuracy is no better or worse than
that of the limit switch method, but since the present position of
the moving part is continually monitored it is easy to compensate if
the stop position is over shot. However, the stopping accuracy is
affected by the same factors as listed for the limit switch method
and no improvement can be expected. The method of positioning
using of a servomotor is not subject to the disadvantages described
for the other methods above. As in the pulse count method, the
position of the moving part is continually detected, and it is
stopped within the required accuracy by respected speed control as
it approaches the target position, slowing it from high speed to a
stop without any period of travel at the creep speed. This method
can be called a position control method, in contrast to the speed
control methods described above.

Types of position control


A servomechanism performs positioning control by continually detecting the
position and feeding back position information. The types of detection method
are shown in Table 2.2. (Note that the open loop method is not a servo control
method but is shown for the purpose of comparison with the closed loop method.)

As explained in Section 2.1.3, MELSERVO series AC servomechanisms are
configured as semi-closed loop in which the motor rotational position (machine
position) is detected by an encoder (detector) that is connected directly to the
motor shaft.
The encoder generates a pulse signal in accordance with the rotation angle of the
motor and this pulse signal is input to the servo amplifier and used for position
control.(for more details on encoders, refer to section 1.3.4)
This feedback pulse becomes the standard that operates for a unit (resolution) of
movement of the machine connected with the motor, and it can perform highly
precise positioning control, so that there are many pulses per motor rotation. In
the case of the servomotor of a model HC-KFS, they are 131072 pulses (it is
expressed as 131072/rev). (Refer to section1.3.4 ).

Positioning by the servomotor is controlling a motor so that servo amplifiers
takes in the command pulse and the feedback pulse according to motor number of
rotations at a deviation counter and the difference serves as zero, when the
command pulse is inputted from positioning controller.

2-6

2. POSITIONING CONTROL USING AC SERVO

For this reason, servomotor can carry out strict positioning by the command pulse.
A motion of the motor axis per command pulse to servo amplifier (machine) is to
the foundations of the positioning control by servo.
(a) The feed distance is proportional to the total number of command
pulse;
(b) The speed of a machine is proportional to the speed of the pulse train
(pulse frequency).
(c) As long as it carries out the completion of positioning in the range of
last 1 pulse and there are no position commands henceforth, it is
holding the position in the state of a servo lock.
(1) Deviation counter and amount of motor rotations
While the counter is counting up the command pulses received from the
position controller, the counter value is simultaneously decremented as the
feedback pulses are returned. When the deviation counter pulses were
large, the speed command is also large, and the motor rotates at high
speed. On approaching the target stopping position the no. of command
pulses decreases; when it reaches zero the output from the deviation
counter drops and the motor speed consequently drops too. When the
deviation counter reaches zero, the speed command value also becomes
zero and the motor stops. In other words, the output from the deviation
counter is automatically controlled so that the no. of feedback pulses(i. e.
the amount of motor rotation) is made to equal to the no. of command
pulse.
For example, for rotating motor HC-KFS of MELSERVO-J2S series of
feedback pulse 131072 p/rev 1/2, it is from positioning controller. It is
necessary to carry out a 65536 pulse input.
(2) Motor rotational speed
By control of a deviation counter, the rotation speed of a motor is
proportional to the speed of pulse train from the rotation angle of a motor
being proportional to the quantity of the pulse train.
For example, if an instruction pulse is carried out in 1 minute in
393.216X3000 rotation X 131072 pulse =393.216X106 pulses and 1
second in order to operate the motor of HC-KFS series by 3000 r/min, it is
necessary to input 393.216X106 / 60= 6553.6X103 pulses (for it to be
expressed as 6553.6kpps) from positioning instruction equipment.
Usually, it inputs using the electronic gear function by the side of
instruction equipment and servo amplifier.

2-7

2. POSITIONING CONTROL USING AC SERVO

(3) The completion of positioning, and servo lock


If the output (droop pulse) of a deviation counter becomes zero (i.e., if the
number of command pulses and the number of feedback pulses are in agreement),
it will become the completion of positioning. Then, there is work which is going
to make the rotation correction of the motor in the direction in which the feedback
pulse from the encoder inputs into the deviation counter if a servo motor is turned
by a certain external force, the speed command from a deviation counter come
out, it always collects, and a pulse becomes zero, and it is always going to limit to
the regular position. This function is called the servo lock.

Positioning Accuracy
Feed distance per pulse
The feed distance per pulse is the minimum unit which a machine motion. The
feed distance per one pulse as shown in Fig. 2.4 (1), in case a ball screw and a
slowdown machine do not have the machine system becomes like the formula (21). When machine system is except a ball screw, and when a slowdown machine
sticks, in order to calculate the feed distance per one pulse, it thinks on the basis
of feed distance (deltas) of the machine per motor 1 rotation. If the feed distance
per motor 1 rotation of Fig. 2.4 is substituted for S of a formula (2-1), the feed
distance (deltal0) can be calculated per pulse.

2.3.2

Concept of overall accuracy for machines and electrical accuracy


The overall accuracy of a machine, , is the mechanical accuracy plus the
electrical accuracy.
The mechanical accuracy is set y the machines manufacturer.
The electrical accuracy depends on the feed distance per pulse - l (mm/pulse)for the machines shaft.
In a Mitsubishi MELSERVO series system, travel is finally stopped to within an
accuracy of +1 output electrical gear pulse (or +l when calculated in terms of
the machine axial motion), and the servo lock is imposed at this point. While the
servo lock is effective, the position is held provided that no command pulses are
input. Therefore, in order to ensure that the electrical accuracy l does not
affect the overall accuracy of the machine , the system is generally set so that
the following condition is satisfied:
l < (1/5 to 1/10) x (2-2)
REMARK
Overall machine accuracy, ,and feed distance per pulse, l
The feed distance per pulse, , can be determined by taking the overall accuracy
of the machine, l into consideration.

As shown in Fig 2.5, if the mechanical system is driven by a ball screw

below

Command Pulses
In a positioning servomechanism, a number of feedback pulses equal to
the number of pulses input from the positioning controller is returned
during motion, and, when running steadily, the motor operates at a speed
at which the command pulses and feedback pulses balance each other out.
It must be confirmed that there is a consistent relationship between the
smallest command unit for positioning and the feed distance pr pulse (see
section 2.3.1) , and that the pulse frequency at the motors maximum
rotational speed is acceptable for both the position controller and the servo
amplifier.

(c) Since the electronic gear is configured outside the position control
loop, a resolution (l) of 0.09 degrees on the motor shaft is
always maintained regardless of the value set for the command
pulse magnification.
(d) If the value set for the electronic gear ratio is 1 or less, a single
input command pulse will not be output to the deviation counter.
A pulse will only be output when the number of the input
command pulses multiplied by the magnification factor reaches a
value of 1.

(3) Since one command pulse input to the deviation counter causes a
motor rotation corresponding to one position feedback pulse, it is
possible to set the motor rotational angle per command pulse, which is
equal to machine travel, to any required values by multiplying the
command pulse by the electronic gear ratio; this makes it possible to
set units with no fraction (1 m, 10 m, etc.)

2. POSITIONING CONTROL USING AC SERVO


(4) The motor speed is determined by the pulse train frequency (fC1) input
to the deviation counter after the command pulse has been multiplied
by the electronic gear ration (a frequency of 200 kpps is equivalent to
a speed of 300 rpm). Consequently, even if the number of pulses
output from the positioning controller (the command pulse frequency)
is low, the motor can be driven at high speed by making f C1 highly.
Since the deviation counter input pulse frequency (fC1) is in balance
with the feedback pulse frequency (fF) when the motor is running at a
constant speed, the relationship between the motor speed and
electronic gear under this condition can be expressed by formula (211)
fC1 = fC

(2) The deviation counter input pulse frequency when the motor is run at the rated
rotational speed is fixed (see equation (2-11)), but it is possible to run the motor at
lower command pulse frequencies.

The Servo amplifier maximum input frequency becomes settled following condition.
MR-J2S series selects the value of an electronic gear by the formula (2-11) and (2-12) so
that the servomotor can be used to rated rotation speed on the maximum input pulse frequency
(open collector --200kpps, differential receiver --500kpps).
Furthermore, the maximum input pulse frequency of the whole including position

Performance between t2 and t3

The command pulses are synchronized with the servomotors rotational speed and the motor runs
with a position lag equivalent to the droop pulses obtained in formula (2-13).

(3)

Performance between t3 and t4

The system attempts to make up the position lag equivalent to droop pulses obtained in formula
(2-13). If there are still droop pulses remaining at point t4 ( the point at which input of command pulses
finishes), the motor continues to revolve even though no command pulses are being input.

(4)

Performance between t4 and t5

The motor continues to rotate to clear all the remaining droop pulses. The interval between t4 and
t5 is the setting time required to stop within accuracy 1 pulse.

(5)

Motor operation

Both the rotational speed of the servomotor and the droop pulses change as exponential functions
over time.
Finally, when the droop pulses have reached 1 pulse accuracy limit, the servo lock is applied.
As a result, the No. of command pulses (area ABCD) +1 is equal to the actual feed distance (area
AECF); And, the quantity of pulses that accumulate during acceleration, (1)(area ABEA) is equal to
the reduction in the No. of deviation counter pulses during deceleration, (2) (area CFDC).

2. POSITIONING CONTROL USING AC SERVO


(1) The view of stop setting time
Stop setting time can calculate an outline value by the model side position control
gain 1 (PG1) of model adaptive control. However, since the value of the position
control gain 1 receives influence in the situation of a machine, the value of a load
inertia moment, etc. greatly, when sending and stop setting of a high response of high
frequency operation are required, it needs to take correspondence also including the
machine system into consideration.
Stop setting time until it becomes about ten or less
pulses serves as the following formula

Command
experientially.

PG1

(sec)

If it collects in the accuracy that the


machine is demanding and a pulse enters,
even if a servomotor moves, it will consider
that it stopped and the completion signal of
positioning will be outputted.
Stop setting time affects the cycle time at the
time of high frequency positioning.

Relationship between the machine system and response setup

2.7.1

Response setup

By the conventional control system, the position loop gain and speed loop gain of
Servo need to be adjusted according to each machine condition. Especially, to the
inertia moment ratio of load, or machine rigidity, the relation with each loop of a servo
system needed to be known enough, and adjustment sometimes took time plentifully.
In MELSERVO-H, J2S, and C series, since model adaptive control and real-time auto
tuning are performed, an ideal model part and a real loop part are automatically
adjusted to the optimal gain only by setting an auto tuning response setup as the value
corresponding to the rigidity of a machine.
About an auto tuning response setup, it can set up with a parameter.
Since MR-J2S were summarized into the table below, please make it reference.

Note) machine starts hunting, or a setting value is made small when gear sound is loud.
In raising a performance, it enlarges a setting value, such as shortening stop setting time.

2.7.2

Real-time auto tuning

If an auto tuning response setting value is set as a parameter and a servo motor is
moved, the load inertia moment at that time will be tuned up automatically, and the
gain (a position, speed) of each control loop will be set as the optimal value to the setup response setting value.
At this time, since vibration will occur or it will become unstable if the auto tuning
response setting value over a machine system is not suitable, please improve an auto
tuning setting value again.
The inertia moment result of the tuned-up load can be checked by a state display
monitor's load inertia moment ratio. The recommendation load inertia moment ratio
has restrictions of a response, regeneration energy, a dynamic brake, etc.
Usually, a load inertia moment ratio recommends 30 or fewer times as a standard to a
servo motor. (Each catalog is consulted for details.)

2. POSITIONING CONTROL USING AC SERVO


Although it can set up by real-time auto tuning by most machines, when there is the
necessity of adjusting to a limit, the manual carries out gain adjustment.

<Reference> The method of adjustment of a manual gain


When a load inertia moment is excessive and the tuning with it is not obtained
with a rise-and-fall axis, and when a machine cannot respond by auto tuning
response setup, the manual performs each gain adjustment for the very large
imbalanced load. For details, please refer to the section 6.3.3.

POSITIONING CONTROLLER

Servomotors are being used in an increasingly wide variety of applications and there is a
growing trend to combine them with controllers for supply as systems; these developments
account for the extremely large number of positioning systems for use with servomotors that
are currently being developed and put on the market.
Therefore, the selection of the most suitable positioning controller for a particular
application is as important a factor as the selection of the servomotor in determining the
level of system efficiency, and the performance to cost ratio, that can be achieved.
The following is a discussion of the classification and function of positioning controllers on
the basis of the concept outlined above.

POSITIONING CONTROLLER

(a) Simultaneous control


In positioning controller with the number of control more than one axis, the function that
enable control of multiple axes simultaneously is called the simultaneous control function.
That is, control of multiple axes is made from the single program, and operation modes
(automatic, manual operation, home position return, etc.), and starting and a stop are
performed simultaneously. It is recently becoming common for controllers with this
function to feature an interpolation control capability.
(b) Independent control
The functions that have the capability to control more than one axis, the function that
enables control of the individual axes independently is called the independent control
function.
That is, control of each axis is made from each program, and operation modes (automatic,
manual operation, home position return, etc.), and starting and a stop control are executed
independently for each axis.
(4) Interpolation control
The interpolation function controls the motion of the multiple axes involved in the control
in relation to each other. The interpolation function includes liner interpolation and
circular interpolation.
(a) Liner interpolation
The multiple axes are controlled so that the start point and end point(target position) are
connected by the shortest path.
In this case, since the generated path is a straight line, the control mode is called liner
interpolation. Usually, two-axis liner interpolation and three-axis liner interpolation are
available.

Circular interpolation

The multiple axes are controlled so that the start point and end point(target position) are
connected by an arc. Since an infinite number of arcs can be defined if only start and end
points are specified, the radius of the arc, center of the arc and/ or direction of the arc are
specified in a program in addition to the two points so that a specific are can be defined.

Absolutely position detection

An absolutely position detector is installed in a servomotor so that the machine position is


retained in the positioning command device when the power off. This allows automatic
operation to be restarted from the present position without carrying out a home position
return after turn on the power.

The absolute positioning control system consists of a motor equipped with the absolute
position transducer, a compatible Servo amplifier, and a positioning controller.

Position command interface

Conventionally, the pulse train was the most common type of position command output
from the position command output from the positioning controller to the servo amplifier.
Recently, as software and digital control have come to be widely adopted, using
microprocessors (CPU) in the control unit, the style of position command is changing; the
ultimate type of control system integrates the positioning controller and the servo amplifier
by connecting of sophisticated and highly accurate positioning systems.
If a pulse train is used as the position command, there are several types of interface. A
summary of the types of position command interface, the corresponding models, and the
features of each type of interface is presented below.

The Basic of the Positioning Control Using a positioning controller

3.5.1

The direction of a machine motion and the servo motor rotation direction

The rotation direction of a servomotor has determined the counterclockwise rotation as


right rotation in view of the load side.
Moreover, the positive direction of mechanical motion is usually defined as the direction
in which coordinates value increase.
In order to unite the move direction of a machine, and the rotation direction of a servo
motor, when the rotation direction of a servo motor needs to be changed, the rotation
direction is set up and changed with the parameter of positioning controller etc. Since
normal operation becomes impossible, a change of the rotation direction by exchange of
direction of a servo motor terminal cannot be made.
The change method of this rotation direction is the same even if the model of positioning
controller is different.
Moreover, to check the direction of motor rotation, run the motor by using JOG functions.

When using heat generating equipment such as the regenerative brake option, install them with full consideration
of heat generation so that the servo amplifier is not affected.
Install the servo amplifier on a perpendicular wall in the correct vertical direction.

(3) Keep out foreign materials


(a) When installing the unit in a control box, prevent drill chips and wire fragments from entering the servo amplifier.
(b) Prevent oil, water, metallic dust, etc. from entering the servo amplifier through openings in the control box or a fan
installed on the ceiling.
(c) When installing the control box in a place where there are toxic gas, dirt and dust, provide positive pressure in the
control box by forcing in clean air to prevent such materials from entering the control box.

(4) Cable stress


(a) The way of clamping the cable must be fully examined so that flexing stress and cable's own weight stress are not
applied to the cable connection.
(b) In any application where the servo motor moves, the cables should be free from excessive stress. For use in any
application where the servo motor moves run the cables so that their flexing portions fall within the optional
encoder cable range. Fix the encoder cable and power cable of the servomotor.
(c) Avoid any probability that the cable sheath might be cut by sharp chips, rubbed by a machine corner or stamped by
workers or vehicles.
(d) For installation on a machine where the servomotor will move, the flexing radius should be made as large as
possible. Refer to section 12.4 for the flexing life.

Load mounting precautions


When mounting a pulley to the servo motor shaft provided with a keyway, use the screw hole in the
shaft end. To fit the pulley, first insert a double-end stud into the screw hole of the shaft, put a washer
against the end face of the coupling, and insert and tighten a nut to force the pulley in.

b.

For the servomotor shaft with a keyway, use the screw hole in the shaft end. For the shaft without a
keyway, use a friction coupling or the like.

c.

When removing the pulley, use a pulley remover to protect the shaft from impact.

d.

To ensure safety, fit a protective cover or the like


on the rotary area, such as the pulley, mounted to
the shaft.

Permissible load for the shaft


(a) Use a flexible coupling and make sure that the misalignment of the shaft is less than the
permissible radial load;
(b) When using a pulley, sprocket or timing belt, select a diameter that will fit into the permissible
radial load.
(c) Do not use a rigid coupling as it may apply excessive bending load to the shaft, leading to shaft
breakage.

Wiring system and Power-on sequence

(1) The main circuit wiring system and a power-on procedure


(a) The following figure show the wiring of a power supply of servo Amplifier. The main circuit power supply (3 phase,
200 VAC(L1, L2, L3), single phase 230VAC(L1, L2)) connect with the electromagnetic contactor. Configure up
an external sequence to switch off the magnetic contactor as soon as an alarm occurs.
(b) Please supply to the control circuit power supply L11, and that L21 is simultaneous with the main circuit power
supply or the point. If the main circuit power supply is not switched on, the warning will be displayed on a display
part, if the main circuit power supply is switched on, warning will disappear and will operate normally.
(c) Servo amplifier can receive a Servo-on signal (SON) in about 1s after the main circuit power up. Therefore, if
SON is turned on simultaneously with power up, a base circuit turns on 3 phase power supply after about 1s, and
further, in about 20ms, completion signal of preparation (RD) is turned on, making servo amplifier ready operate.
(d) If a reset signal (RES) is turned on, it becomes base interception and the servomotor shaft coasts.
(2) The example of connection
A power supply and a main circuit should wire, as shown in the following figure. Please be sure to use a no fuse breaker
(NFB) for the input line of a power supply. When you correspond to UL/C-UL standard, please use the fuse corresponding
to this standard.

(4) The alarm occurrence timing chart


When an alarm occurs in the servo amplifier, the base circuit is shut off and the servomotor
is coated to a stop. Switch off the main circuit power supply in the external sequence. To
reset the alarm, switch the control circuit power supply off, then on. However, the alarm
cannot be reset unless its cause of occurrence is removed.

If operation is repeated by switching control circuit power off, then on to reset the overcurrent
(AL.32), overload 1 (AL.50) or overload 2 (AL.51) alarm after its occurrence, without removing
its cause, the servo amplifier and servomotor may become faulty due to temperature rise.
Securely remove the cause of the alarm and also allow about 30 minutes for cooling before
resuming operation.

(b) Regenerative alarm


If operation is repeated by switching control circuit power off, then on to reset the regenerative
(AL.30) alarm after its occurrence, the external regenerative brake resistor will generate heat,
resulting in an accident.

(c) Instantaneous power failure


Undervoltage (AL.10) occurs if power is restored after a 60ms or longer power failure of the co
ntrol power supply or after a drop of the bus voltage to or below 200VDC. If the power failur
epersists further, the control power switches off.

When the power failure is reset in this state, t

healarm is reset and the servomotor will start suddenly if the servo-on signal (SON) is on. To
prevent hazard, make up a sequence that will switch off the servo-on signal (SON) if an alarm
occurs.

(1-2) Connection of the minimum required input-and-output signal
In order to operate a motor, below the minimum needs to be connected. Connection of an output signal is
unnecessary.
a) Servo on -----Since it is a signal for employing the main circuit efficiently, it is required before operation to surely turn
on. If turned on, it will be in a Servo lock state.
b) Forward and reverse rotation stroke end -----Usually, it connects with limited switch (LS) in a machine end. If turned off, it will not move in the
direction. It moves to an opposite direction. When there is no machine end LS like roll feeder, please
always short-circuit between SG.
c) Forward and reverse pulse train -----If a pulse train is inputted, a motor will move according to the frequency and the number of pulses. A
Servo lock will be stopped and carried out if there is no input.
d) Reset -----It is used for release of alarm. Since, as for alarm release, the main circuit power supply OFF can also be
performed, it is not an absolutely required signal. Moreover, if a reset signal is turned on, a Servo lock
will be canceled and it will become a motor free-lancer.
e) Emergence stop -----Please be sure to connect an emergency stop signal (EMG) with SG with an emergency
stop switch (B point of contact) too hastily at the time of operation.

Connection of the minimum required input-and-output signal


In order to operate a motor, below is the minimum signal that needs to be connected.
Connection of an output signal is unnecessary.
a) Servo on

---- Since it is a signal for employing the main circuit efficiently, it is required
before operation to surely turn on. If turned on, it will be in a Servo lock state.

b) Speed selection

---- It chooses whether speed commands are made into a parameter setting
value or an external analog setting value. The following figure is the case
where it is based on external analog speed instructions.

c) Forward and reverse starting


d) Reset

---- It is used as a starting signal.

------ It is used for release of alarm. Since, as for alarm release, the main circuit
power supply OFF can also be performed, it is not an absolutely required
signal. Moreover, if a reset signal is turned on, a Servo lock will be canceled
and it will become a motor free-lancer.

e) Emergence stop ------ Please be sure to connect an emergency stop signal (EMG)
with SG with an emergency stop switch (B point of contact) too

(2) Torque limit


By setting parameter No. 28 (internal torque limit 1), torque is always limited to the maximum value during
operation. A relationship between limit value and servo motor-generated torque is as in (5) in section 3.4.1. Note
that the analog torque limit (TLA) is unavailable.
(3) Speed limit
(a) Speed limit value and speed
The speed is limited to the values set in parameters No. 8 to 10, 72 to 75 (internal speed limits 1 to 7) or the
value set in the applied voltage of the analog speed limit (VLA).
A relationship between the analog speed limit (VLA) applied voltage and the servo motor speed is shown
below.
When the motor speed reaches the speed limit value, torque control may become unstable. Make the set value
more than 100r/m greater than the desired speed limit value.

When not carrying out a Servo lock, it is not in the Servo on state. Please
check an external sequence by diagnostic display.
Servo motor rotation speed is chosen by speed selection 1 (SP1) and the
speed selection 2 (SP2). If forward rotation start (RS1) is turned on and
the forward rotation (CCW) direction and inversion starting (RS2) will be
turned ON, it will rotate in the inversion(CW) direction. Please set rotation
speed as a low speed and check the rotation direction in the beginning.

6.1

Provisional selection of motor capacity

The rough guidelines for selecting the capacity of AC Servo that is appropriate for a given
mechanical drive system is as follows:
(1) The Guideline relating to the stability of a control loop
Moment of load inertia (JL) Moment of motor rotor inertia (Jm) X recommendation
load inertia moment ratio
(2) The allowance for load torque
Load torque (TL) motor rated torque(TM) x (0.5-0.8)
6.1.1
Load inertia moment (JL)
The term load inertia moment means of the moment of inertia of the mechanical locking
element which is connected to the motor output shaft and that of the drive system beyond the
coupling; both act as loads on the motor. The moment of inertia of magnetic brake of the
motor and that of the reduction gears should also be included. The unit which should be used
to express the moment of load inertia.
In addition, by AC servo system, the unit of the load inertia moment JL uses [kg.cm2], and
the formula used to calculate the moment of load inertia is given in Table 6.1.

6.1.2
Load torque TL
A thrust, friction power, imbalanced torque, etc. which work in the movable part of the
machine used as the load of a motor are said.
In addition, the unit of the load torque TL uses [N-m], and shows the formula of load torque
in Table 6.2.

6. SELECTION
6.2

Reduction Ratio
To make the most of the servomotors performance, it is important to draw power from the
servomotor in the most efficient way and to keep the servo system, including the machine,
operating stably and at high responsibility. An important factor in achieving this is the
reduction ratio of the mechanism between the servomotor and the machine.
The conditions necessary for selecting the reduction ratio correctly are discussed below.
(1) Select the reduction ratio so that the motor runs at the rated rotational speed when the
machine is operating at the fastest speed. This allows you to utilize the motor output
(power) most efficiently.
(a) The max. output(rated output) of a servomotor is obtained when it runs at the
rated rotational speed.
(b) The converted load torque and converted moment of load inertia applied to the
motor shaft of the machine become smaller as the selected reduction ratio is
increased. In other words, the load on the motor is smallest when the reduction ratio
is selected so that the motor runs at the rated rotational speed.
(2) Select the reduction ratio and motor capacity so that moment of load inertia ratio will be 5
to 10 . This ensures good servo system responsibility while maintaining stable operation.
Moment of load inertia ratio m
M=

Converted load applied to the motor shaft J L


Motor JM

<

(5 to 10 )

The smaller the moment ratio of load inertia is, the greater the possibility of increasing the
responsibility of the servo system. For systems with a high incidence of starting and
stopping, select as small a ratio (m < 2) as permitted.
(3) To ensure high positioning accuracy, the feed distance (l0) per pulse should be as small as
possible.
The following is a rough guideline for the relationship between machine accuracy () and
feed distance per pulse (l0).
(l0) <

X [ (1/5) to (1/10) ]

Note: For the relationship between l0 and the reduction ratio, refer to section 2.5.1.

MEMO

1. The power during acceleration will be smallest when m=1. This is achieved by setting
the reduction as 1/n = ( Jm / JL). This reduction ratio is generally called the optimum
reduction ratio.
2.

When spur gears and pulleys are used to reduce motor speeds, if the diameter of the
driven pulley is enlarged to increase the reduction ratio, the moment of load inertia may
become large due to speed reduction.

6.3 Operation Patterns and Required Motor Torque


6-4

6. SELECTION
An operation pattern is usually assessed by dividing a cycle into accelerating time, Tpsa; fixed
speed operation time, tc; decelerating time, Tpsd; setting time, ts, and stop time ts
The energy necessary for accelerating an object which has a load inertia moment(JL) is called
the acceleration torque, Ta, and that necessary for deceleration is called the deceleration torque,
Td.
During the period from the start of deceleration in the fixed speed operation state to the settling
time, ts, the friction torque, L, acts in the same manner as it does during fixed speed operation.
6.3.1 Acceleration torque (Ta)

6. SELECTION
6.3.3

Driving pattern

The discussion above can be summarized as follows:


(a) The motor torque required for fixed speed operation is the converted load torque applied to motor shaft, TL .
(b) The converted load torque applied to the motor shaft, TL, may have a negative value under certain conditions if the
motor is used for up/down motion;
(c) The motor torque necessary for acceleration and deceleration are:
Motor torque necessary for acceleration Tma = Load torque TL + Acceleration torque Ta
Motor torque necessary for deceleration Tmd = Load torque TL - deceleration torque Td
(d) The condition Tmd = TL Td > 0 indicates a power deceleration state in which the motor decelerates while supplying
energy to the machine;
(e) The condition Tmd = TL Td < 0 indicates the regenerative braking(the regenerative mode) in which the motor
decelerates while applying a braking force to the machine. In this mode, regenerative power flows from motor to
amplifier.

Determining motor capacity

Whether a specific motor may be used for the required application should be determined by
assessing if it can produce the required motor torque shown in Fig. 6.1. In addition to the torque,
the temperature rise of the motor and heat capacity of the regenerative brake must also be
assessed in the case of motors subjected to frequent use.
The motor provisionally selected may be used if it satisfies the following three conditions.
(1) Motor torque required for acceleration Tma in Fig. 4.1
Tma = TL + Ta < Max. motor torque Tma ---------------------------------(6-23)
(2) Motor torque required for deceleration Tmd
Tmd = TL Ta < Max. motor torque Tmax -------------------------------(6-24)
(3) Continuous effective torque Trms
Trms < Motor rated torque Tm --------------------------------------------(6-25)

The load torque at which the temperature rise of a motor operated intermittently is equal to its
temperature rise when operated continuously is called the continuous effective load
torque, Trms. Therefore, if Trms < Tm, it indicates that the motor maybe used without heat
generation problems.
In the case shown in fig. 6. 1, the continuous effective load torque, Trms, may be calculated
by using the following formula.

Trms = Tma Tpsa + TL (tc + ts) + Tmd Tpsd


tf

6-7

6. SELECTION
If any one of the conditions (1), ( 2) and (3) indicated above is not satisfied. Review the
conditions at the machine, the operation, motor capacity, etc. and evaluated the selection
motor again using the procedure.
If all of the conditions(1), (2), (3)indicated above are satisfied, the provisionally selected
motor can be used for the required application using the planned speed pattern and cycle
time without encountering problems relating to torque or temperature rise.
If negative torque is generated in the torque pattern, the performance of the regenerative
brake of servo amplifier must be examined.

7. The Measure Against Noise, Leak Current, Harmonics


7.1

The measure against a noise

Servo amplifier is controlling the servomotor by switching rectification and the direct-current power supply of
about 300 V that carried out flat and smooth for a commercial power supply. Therefore, Servo amplifier may serve
as a noise generation source to peripheral equipment, and may generate the trouble of a noise with the amount of proof [noise] of Servo amplifier, the cloth line affair of the power line between servomotors, the grounding method,
and Servo peripheral equipment.
The signal line of that on which the noise generated from Servo amplifier is radiated from the electric wire
connected to the main part of Servo amplifier, and a Servo amplifier main circuit (ON and output), and the
peripheral equipment close to the main circuit electric wire -- electromagnetism -- it can divide roughly into a target,
the thing to guide in static electric, and the thing transmitted in power supply circuit.

Noise propagation

Measure
Feeble signals, such as a measuring instrument, a receiver, and a sensor, are treated, and since
apparatus may incorrect-operate by air propagation of a noise when it is influenced of a noise, and it is
contained in the same board as Servo amplifier, or the apparatus which is easy to operate, and its signal
cable approach and are wired, it is necessary to take the following measures.
(1)

The apparatus which is easy to be influenced is separated from Servo amplifier as much as
possible, and is installed.

(1) (2) (3)


(2)

From the input-and-output cable of Servo amplifier, the signal cable which is easy to be

influenced is detached as much as possible, and is patterned.


(3)

Wiring is avoided in parallel routing and the bunch of a signal cable and a power line (Servo
amplifier input-and-output cable).

(4)

If a cable noise filter and an input can insert a radio noise filter in an input-and-output cable, the
radiation noise from an electric wire can be controlled.

(5)

It is still more effective, if the shield cable is used for the signal cable or the power cable or it
puts into a respectively individual metal duct.

When parallel routing of the signal cable is carried out or it is bundled by the power cable together
with the power cable, it electromagnetism induction. Since a noise may spread and incorrect-operate
on a signal line by the noise and the static electricity induction noise.
It is necessary to take the following measures.
(4) (5) (6)

(1)

The apparatus that is easy to be influenced is separated from Servo amplifier as much as
possible, and is installed.

(2)

From the input-and-output cable of Servo amplifier, the signal cable that is easy to be influenced
is detached as much as possible.

(3)

Wiring is avoided in parallel route and the bunch of a signal cable and a power cable (Servo

(4)

It is still more effective, if the shield cable is used for a signal cable or the power cable or it puts
into a respectively individual metal duct.

(5)

(7)

A data line filter is attached in the signal cable.

The case where the power supply of peripheral equipment is connected with the power supply of the
same system as Servo amplifier since apparatus may incorrect-operate from the noise in which the
generated noise flows backwards the power supply cable, it is necessary to take the following
measures:
(1)

A radio noise filter (FR-BIF) is installed in the power cable(input-and-output cable) of Servo
amplifier.

(2)

A radio noise filter (FR-BLF, FR-BSF01) is installed in the power cable of Servo amplifier.

(3)

A data cable filter is attached in the power supply cable of peripheral equipment.

The measure against a noise, leak current, harmonics

When wiring of peripheral equipment is having the closed loop circuit constituted by wiring Servo
amplifier, it leaks from the grounding cable of Servo amplifier, current flows in, and apparatus may
(8)
incorrect-operate.
When such, if the grounding cable of apparatus is removed, there is a case where it stops incorrectoperating.

7.2

Leak current

To AC Servo, the chopper current of the harmonics by which PWM control was carried out flows. It leaks and current becomes
large compared with the motor containing a part for harmonics operated with a commercial power supply.
A short circuit breaker should select a lower formula to reference, and a Servo amplifier, servomotor etc. should ground
certainly.
Moreover, please the route distance of the electric wire of input and output be short as much as possible to reduce leak current,
detach as much as possible between the grounds, and carry out electrical route (about 30cm).

Harmonics

7.3.1

A basic wave and harmonics

It is defined as the thing with the frequency of the integral multiple of a basic wave (generally power supply
frequency), and it is distorted and what compounded one basic wave and two or more harmonics is called
harmonics with the wave. (Refer to Fig. 7.3)
Although the distortion wave is generally included to the harmonics (kHz-MHz) of a harmonics domain, it differs
in character with the problem of the harmonics domain which the 40-50th (-3kHz) usually deal with it as harmonics
of a power distribution system, and generally presents a random aspect. For example, problems with a personal
computer, such as an electric wave obstacle and a noise (refer to section 7.1), are local problems stuck to apparatus
hard, and the influence and a correspondence means differ from the harmonics for an electric power network. It is
necessary to clarify this first.

As a generation source of harmonics, there are a rectifier, an exchange electric power adjustment machine, etc. The converter
part of general-purpose Servo consists of the rectifier circuit, and has generated many harmonics.
As shown in Table 7.4, there are two kinds of things in a rectifier circuit with the main circuit system, and most 3 phase bridge
systems are adopted in general-purpose Servo.

The measure against harmonics

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry enacted the harmonics control measure guideline about the
measure against harmonics control in September, 94.
The Servo amplifier of 4.0 or less kW becomes the object product of "household electric appliances and a general-purpose
article harmonics control measure guideline." In accordance with these guidelines, the gradual regulation level was decided in
Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association.

Since this regulation level is suited, the Servo amplifier 4.0kW or less installed on and after January 1,
97 needs to connect a power improvement reactor (FR-BAL).

Parts exchanged

The following parts have secular degradation on mechanical wear or physical properties, and since the
performance fall of a unit and failure may be affected, while performing a scheduled inspection for preventive
maintenance, it is necessary to carry out periodical exchange.

(1) Flat and smooth capacitor :

As for a flat and smooth capacitor, the characteristic deteriorates under the
influence of ripple current etc. Although greatly influenced by
circumference temperature and the operating condition, the life of a
capacitor will turn into a life in ten years, when continuation operation is
carried out on the air-conditioned usual environmental conditions.

(2) Relays :

Poor contact occurs in the point-of-contact wear by opening-and-closing


current. Although influenced by power supply capacity, it becomes a life
by the 100,000 hours of accumulation opening and closing (opening-andclosing life).

(3) Servo amplifier cooling fan :

It is 10,000 - 35,000 hours from a cooling fan's bearing life. Therefore, in


continuation operation, it is necessary to usually exchange it the whole
fan, using the 2 - 3 year as a standard. Moreover, when unusual sound
and unusual vibration are discovered at the time of check, it is necessary
to exchange.

(4) Servo motor bearing :

Please exchange 20,000 - 30,000 hours for a standard by rated speed and
rated load operation. Since it is influenced by the operation situation,
when unusual sound and unusual vibration are discovered, exchange is
required at the time of check.

(5) Servo motor oil seal, V ring:

Exchange is needed by making 5000Hr(s) into a standard at rated speed.


Exchange is needed, when an oil leak etc. is discovered at the time of
check, since it was influenced by operation conditions.

(6) Battery :

It will become a life from a manufacture day in five years.

There are varieties of drive systems driven by an AC servomotor, and the system best
fitting the intended purpose (required accuracy, feed accuracy in motion, travel distance,
type of machine operation, etc.) can be selected.
In order to examine the relationship between the mechanical system and the servomotor,
the direction of machine motion is considered first. The command unit for linear motion
is mm; for rotary motion, either the angle or the number of the servomotor must be
assessed carefully since torque with a negative value is generated during operation.

(2) Example of drive methods
For position control using a position loop, the basic element is the machine feed
distance per pulse. To calculate this distance, it is necessary to determine the machine
feed distance (symbol: S, unit: mm) per motor revolution.
The general configurations of the drive systems used for linear motion applications, shown in
(1), are illustrated below, accompanied by details of basic formulae.

1. The Servo amplifier dealing with CC-Link serves as a MR-H-TN type. The number of
Servo amplifier connection becomes 21 sets in one master unit at the time of a
maximum of 42 sets (at the time of one-game occupancy), and two-game occupancy.
2. FR-A500 series equips with built-in option FR-A5NC. The number of connection is a
maximum of 42 sets (the number of connection changes with a remote device office and
local broadcasting stations) at one master unit.
3. As for FR-E500 series, FR-E520-0.1 KN-FR-E520-7.5KN differs from a model name.
3. The basic base of A273UHCPU cannot be equipped with the special unit for
sequencer A series.

5. There is also the SFC (motion side) system Windows-NT version. In A171SH,
correspondence is impossible.
6. The drive of MR-J2-A, Vector INV, the vector INV of the other company, etc. is also
possible at use of an actuator I/F unit (analog output), and torque controls, such as
tension control, are also possible.
7. Full Closed Loop Control is Possible to MR-H-AN and MR-H-BN at Option Built-in
(Amplifier is Special).
8. Carry out from a positioning unit side altogether also including a Servo amplifier side
parameter at the time of AD75M (A1SD75M) use. Therefore, it is easier for a program
to use software-AD75P. Especially the parameter of fixation etc. recommends soft use.
