Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) | The output voltage can be kept constant although the grid voltage changes. | |
Fault protection | More than 30 protection functions, such as protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, phase loss, and overload. | |
Dedicated functions | Braking protection | Models 30–110kW support protection against braking resistor short circuit, braking unit short circuit, and PB-PE short circuit. |
Brake control | Dedicated hoisting brake logic, integrated with torque verification, brake feedback, zero position detection, restart after braking functions, which meet the industrial VFD standards for crane applications. | |
Conical rotor motor control | Boosts magnetic flux during startup to ensure brake release, and reduces flux during stop to achieve brake closing. | |
Light load speed boost | In closed-loop mode, the speed can be boosted and limited at constant power status, and the speed is limited in stepped way. | |
| In open-loop mode, if the simplified speed boost way is used, the speed boosts to the set frequency in light load status; if the speed is boosted or limited in constant power status, the speed is limited in stepped way. | ||
Zero servo | In closed-loop mode, if the VFD detects load downward slip, the VFD automatically enters the zero servo state and outputs a brake failure alarm. When a level-2 fault occurs, if load downward slip occurs, the VFD automatically resets the fault, enters the zero servo state, and outputs a brake failure alarm. | |
Long/cross travel anti-sway and sway reducing | Anti-sway: Requires an encoder on the hoisting mechanism. The hoisting mechanism and the long and cross travel VFDs are connected via AI or HDI, or both are equipped with CAN master-slave cards for communication. This allows the long and cross travel VFDs to obtain the real-time height value from the hoisting mechanism VFD. Combined with the built-in luffing anti-sway algorithm, the VFD outputs the reference frequency and acceleration/deceleration time. The long and cross travel VFDs then accelerate or decelerate based on the start/stop commands and the reference frequency, eliminating sway when the VFD reaches a steady state or when stopping. | |
| Sway reducing: Does not require real-time height data. Based on the built-in luffing anti-sway algorithm, the VFD can operate according to the set acceleration/deceleration time, reducing sway when the VFD reaches a steady state or when stopping. | ||
Tower crane slewing without using an eddy current controller | Built-in curves for tower crane slewing without using eddy current control help to adjust the ACC in real time so that the torque is steady, which can suppress boom rebound and vibration when the boom pauses or stops. | |
Wind resistance of tower crane slewing | To address the issue where slewing speeds fail to reach the reference speed in windy environments, the VFD features a built-in slewing wind resistance algorithm to overcome the impact of wind on slewing operations. | |
Slack rope protection (closed-loop mode only) | Upward slack rope protection: If a slack rope state is detected, the speed is limited; the speed limit is released upon timeout or when the load is lifted. | |
| Downward slack rope protection: If a slack rope state is detected, the VFD reports a fault or an alarm. | ||
Upward/downward limit position | The function is used to limit the crane to run within the specified range. The VFD enables emergency stop and reports an alarm once the range is exceeded. | |
Upward/downward DEC limit position | When the deceleration signal is valid, the running speed of the crane is limited once the crane runs within the slow speed area. | |
| Single direction limit: For example, in the upward slow speed area, the speed limit applies only to upward travel. | ||
Load position | In closed-loop mode, the encoder is used to measure the load position. | |
Master/slave control | Master/slave power balance and speed synchronization. | |
Hoisting application macro | Including lifting, horizontal moving, construction elevator, tower crane slewing, and user-defined application macros. | |
Lifting and horizontal moving switchover | Three groups of motor parameters, control modes, and application macros can be switched. | |
Frequency decrease with voltage | When the bus voltage is continuously low, the reference frequency is decreased to keep the normal output torque of VFD. | |
Low-voltage protection | When the bus voltage decreases transiently or the VFD quickly stops due to power outage, the function is used to ensure the hook does not slip. The low voltage protection function is automatically disabled once the bus voltage restores to the normal state. | |
Low-speed run protection | The VFD reports the low-speed run protection fault when the low-speed run time exceeds the allowed time. This prevents the axial cooling motor from being damaged due to overheating caused by long-time running. | |
Overload protection | In closed-loop mode, when overload occurs, upward lifting is restricted. | |
Eddy current control | The HDO outputs PWM waves to directly control eddy current. | |
Brake feedback (FB) | When the brake control signal is inconsistent with the brake feedback signal, the VFD handles the inconsistency according to the brake status to ensure safety. | |
Zero position detection | The zero position signal and running signal are mutually exclusive. | |
Torque verification | The VFD verifies the current or torque before brake release. The VFD performs brake release when the verification succeeds, and the VFD reports the verification fault when the verification fails. | |
One key open/closed loop switchover | The closed-loop control mode can be switched to the open-loop control mode through terminals. When the encoder is faulty, the open-loop control mode can be used. The switchover takes effect only in stopped state but not in running state. | |
Jogging | After receiving a jogging command, the VFD can automatically start, run, and stop at the preset running frequency and time according to the settings. During the process, the brake can be normally opened or closed under the control of VFD, ensuring the stability without hook slip or exception when the crane starts or stops. | |
Smooth lifting | In high-speed lifting mode, the high speed is limited at the moment of steel rope straightening, reducing the impact caused by the sudden load to the crane at the lifting start. | |
Set frequency exception protection | If the set frequency is lower than the threshold after the brake is opened, the VFD reports the set frequency exception, which prevents slip caused by insufficient force at low speed. | |
Motor overheating protection | An I/O expansion card can receive the input from a motor temperature sensor (PT100, PT1000, or PTC). At the same time, the AI analog input can also receive signals from a motor temperature sensor (PT100, PT1000, KTY84, or various PTC models) for motor overheating protection. | |
