News in 10_054 and 10_055 10_054 Hardware 1) New thyristor module DASD 145, 600 V - 500 A 2) Improved speed control with incremental encoder at very low speed with new firmware PU_APP12 in DAPU 100 board (from May 2007) 3) Start of replacement of semiconductor fuses from higher voltage to 690 V with higher current rating in DASD 146, 147, 156, 157 based on the technical development. 4) Control sequence for output relays and safety brake lifter contactor for DARA 200 supervision system. Software functions 5) Display of DAPC 100 shows "54" when there is no Fault. "54 indicates 10_05, revision 4. 6) A large number of parameters fixed to constants for quicker parameterisation. 7) Acceleration control of travel motions as alternative to speed control developed and included. 8) Torque control with DARA 1001 is removed as acceleration control is better. SW release 10_053 shall be asked for when ordering spare part board DAPC 100. 9) Positioning "Soft limit switch" is removed as positioning on incremental encoder no more is recommended due to the development of absolute encoders. SW release 10_053 shall be asked for when ordering spare part board DAPC 100. 10) Firing angle can be modified in regenerative mode. Extremely loaded motors with high CosFi that else can operate in two-phase mode with heavy mechanical vibrations. 11) Correction of execution time to prevent a 10 ms long brake opening when trying to lift a load with load above the mechanical overload level. 12) Supervision time of MF-link and Remote I/O-link set to 500 ms time. 13) Fast stop function included; an active or passive signal can force the motion controller to sop also in healthy mode with master switch in driving position. 14) Speed dependent gain improved by separate break points for stand still (0% reference) in addition to existing 10%, 25%, 50% and 100% speed reference. 15) A step reference can be optimised for light motions (travel or hoist) by setting 08.01 to 5. With value 5 overshooting is prevented as the integral part of the speed regulator is set to zero each time the ramp output value coincides with the step reference. By setting 08.01 to 6 the integral part is not reset, which minimises load droop for hoists and is more suitable for fine positioning of heavy travel motions. 16) Standard value for switch to super synchronous speed changed from 85% to 95% speed. 17) Better function to enter in open control with light load. Full motor voltage is no longer required. 18) Contactor K3 will always close in super synchronous mode, if installed. 19) Function "Adoption to low line voltage with longer ramp times" is fixed, and cannot be deselected. 20) DO 6 can be used off-delayed to control, as example, lubrication pumps or rail cleaning blowers. 21) DI 15 can be used to switch between parameter sets 1 and 2 in installations without any remote I/0. 10_055 Software functions 22) Display of DAPC 100 shows "55" when there is no Fault. "55 indicates 10_05, revision 5. 23) Bypass functions as rescue operation with one of two (large) motors, and for E-room/cubicle loss reduction 24) Faults for operation are as before reset by cran
Historical release information: From 10_053 to 10_053C 10_053 Hardware 25) Increased voltage range to 1000 V rated rotor voltage for EH rotor contactors. Software functions 26) Display of DAPC 100 shows "53" when there is no Fault. "53 indicates 10_05, revision 3. 27) User does not have to contact ABB to modify a hidden parameter from its standard value to use MasterFollower. If that was not done, the Followers brake was directly released when Masters Direction signals (A or B) was removed. 28) Correction of logic for dynamic Master-Follower partner selection. Master-Follower partner is now fully selectable by macro-change. 29) Correction of very occasional trips in 60 Hz networks due to collision between current regulator execution and communication links. 30) Rotor contactors do not open during acceleration in case reverse thyristor bridge is commended by speed regulator. 31) Rotor contactors K2 and K3 do not close during acceleration if the stator current is larger than parameter 12.10 for hoists and 12.11 for Travel motions. The system is less sensitive for line voltage dips and low class power system design. The standard values should only be modified for macros used for temporary overload. 32) Standard values of parameter for rotor contactor closing time modified: 12.29 from 80 ms to 60 ms 33) Standard values of parameters related to thyristor bridge reversal have been modified; these are not modified by most users: 11.44 from 30 ms to 20 ms 11.46 from 200 ms to 50 ms 34) Standard value of parameter 08.18 changed from 0 to 1. Standard is 1 meaning active function for line voltage adopted ramp times. Tool program 35) For Monitor and View recording, the gridlines can be turned on and off. 36) For Monitor and View recording, two lines for each of six signals can be displayed. 37) For View recording, a vertical time-line can be moved in the chart, and the signal values at this time are presented. 38) Possible to add comments to record files, ∗.asg. 10_053A, ex works from 2006-08-01 Software functions 39) The additional brake setting based on speed reference has been corrected. The normal brake setting has worked and works without any remark. 40) The associated timer function for brake setting based on speed reference, parameter 06.08, has incorrectly been implemented as an ON-delay of reference coming to zero instead as an OFF-delay. Well working installations should not be modified. 41) A Follower in a MF-configuration is changed to use the uncorrected Masters speed reference for brake set-ting instead of the Followers lively speed reference. The action is more predictable. Well working installations should not be modified. 42) The slow down and stop limit switches in Master-Follower are corrected according to the existing specification to a true OR-action between the Masters and Followers limit switches. 10_053B, ex works from 2006-09-03 Software functions 43) For Master-Follower such states in Follower that cause fault codes in Follower, but not requires the Master to stop are not causing Master-Follower links faults any more. 44) Master-Follower link supervision corrected. Permitted down time was always zero (un-delayed trip), what-ever parameter value was set. After correction the trip is delayed with value in milliseconds of parameter 30.01. 45) Automatic resynchronization of Electrical Shaft after reactivation of the mode (in practice at first CRANE ON after changing from single drive to Master-Follower) restored after having been removed by mistake in Release 10_03A
