Replacement of the Motor

Description

Drive systems may perform unintended movements if unapproved combinations of drive and motor are used. Though the connectors for motor connection and encoder connection may match mechanically, this does not imply that the motor is approved for use.

 WARNING
UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
Only use approved combinations of drive and motor.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
  • Power off all supply voltages. Verify that no voltages are present (safety instructions), see Product Related Information.

  • Label all connections and uninstall the product.

  • Note the identification number and the serial number shown on the product nameplate for later identification.

  • Install the new product as per section Installation.

If the connected motor is replaced by another motor, the motor data set is read again. If the device detects a different motor type, the control loop parameters are recalculated and the HMI displays (MOT). See section Acknowledging a Motor Change for additional information.

If the motor is replaced, the encoder parameters must also be re-adjusted, see Setting Parameters for Encoder.

If a motor encoder is connected via encoder 2 (module), a motor replacement is not detected. Observe the information provided in the encoder manual.

Changing the Motor Type Temporarily

If you want to operate the new motor type only temporarily via the device, press ESC at the HMI.

The newly calculated control loop parameters are not saved to the nonvolatile memory. This way, you can resume operation with the original motor using the saved control loop parameters.

Changing the Motor Type Permanently

If you want to operate the new motor type permanently via this device, press the navigation button at the HMI.

The newly calculated control loop parameters are saved to the nonvolatile memory.
