Quattro DC Drive Operation and Feature Overview 
 
there will be no timed delay for current ramp-
down.  This time may be adjusted by the 
function RAMPED STOP TIME (A1). 
Over-Speed Test 
A reference speed multiplier is provided to help 
testing of the elevator governor over-speed 
trip.  This feature will automatically return to 
normal at the completion of each elevator run.  
However, to ensure that the drive Over-Speed 
Trip does not interfere with the governor test, 
one must temporarily raise the value set for the 
Drive Over-Speed Trip point to a value higher 
than that of the governor. 
Motor Field Current Control and Field 
weakening 
DC elevator motors have a separately excited 
shunt field.  Adjustments include Stand-By 
Current, Full-Field Current and Weak-Field 
Current, all programmed in amperes, and a 
Flux Confirm Level, programmed as a % of 
Full-Field.  With no active Full-Field or drive 
Run command motor field current would 
normally be at Stand-By amps.  An active 
command to provide Full Field causes field 
current to increase to the Full Field setting.  
When Field current is greater than the Full-
Field threshold setting (and there are no other 
faults) the DC motor contactor will be enabled 
to pull in when told to do so by an active drive 
Run command.  When the motor contactor is 
acknowledged as being closed, the motor 
armature current regulator is released to follow 
the commanded torque reference current 
signal.  Motor field current will remain at the 
Full-Field value as long as the per unit (pu) 
reference or measured speed (whichever is 
greater) is less than the pu ratio of WF/FF 
amps.  Above that speed motor field current 
will automatically follow the constant CEMF 
profile of WF/FF X 1/spd, where speed is again 
the greater active value of reference or 
measured speed.  When motor speed reduces 
from high speed, motor field current 
automatically increases according to the 
constant CEMF calculated profile.  However, 
field current will not increase to be more than 
the Full field ampere setting. 
Fault & Alarm Reset 
An external Fault Reset command signal from 
the car controller may be applied to a logic 
input or from a serial command link.  Or, an 
automatic Fault Reset will occur 5 seconds 
after a drive fault occurs, when enabled to do 
so.  Either method may be used to enable the 
car controller to quickly recover from a re-
settable fault.  One Fault will be subtracted 
from a fault count accumulation every 20 
minutes.  The maximum number of Auto-
Resets that can be accumulated is 5.  The 
Auto-Reset function will then require a power 
Off/On cycle in order to recover.  Faults & 
Alarms may also be cleared by use of the 
Magnetek Operator. 
Electronic Motor Over-Load 
An electronic motor over-load function is 
provided to take the place of heater type power 
components.  Motor armature current is 
continuously monitored and the heating effect 
is calculated over time.  A motor overload trip 
will not automatically stop the drive, but is an 
important alarm signal to elevator car controller 
to help prevent equipment damage. 
Armature Voltage Feedback 
DSPR 
This is a temporary ‘construction’ or trial mode 
for proving out direction orientation of the 
motor and operation of the encoder.  Motor 
speed regulation is controlled by armature 
voltage feedback with IR compensation.  
Precise speed regulation is not possible.  
Operation above base speed of the motor is 
not possible since the field weakening is 
inhibited.  However, it is still possible to 
monitor the feedback from the encoder 
although it will not used for speed regulation.  
Successful operation in this mode may require 
reduced gain settings.  This is selectable by 
setting SPD REG TYPE (C1) to CEMF REG.
While the drive is idle with Stand-By Current 
being applied to the motor field, a second timer 
for Drive Stand-by Power Reduction (DSPR) 
will be running.  When/If the DPSR timer 
times-out, motor field current will turn 
completely Off and the main 3-phase power to 
the drive will be removed.  This helps save 
electrical energy during long periods of non-
use.  Recovery of this condition will be 
automatic upon the receipt of the next “Full-
Field” or “Run” command.  At that time, 
recovery from a DSPR power OFF condition 
may take several seconds.  DSPR TIME can 
be set in the Drive A1 Submenu.
