Magnetek Quattro DC Elevator Drive Benutzerhandbuch

 

−  Armature Inductance 

IMPORTANT: Brake must be set while auto 
tune is running for valid data. 

 

 

 

 

The following details the procedure on how to 
run auto tune on a Quattro DC drive.  The 
purpose of auto tune allows the drive to 
calculate the following motor parameters: 

−  Armature Resistance 

−  Field Resistance 

−  Field Time Constant 

−  Armature Resistance Voltage Drop at 

Motor Rated Current 

−  Armature Regulation Gains 

−  Field Regulation Gains 

 

To run Auto tune by use of the operator, use 
the AUTO TUNE MOTOR in the A4 menu. The 
Operator will display:  

Press the “enter” key.  If there are any active 
faults on the drive, “Not Available at This Time” 
will display and Auto Tune will not run: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If there are no faults present, the drive will 
display: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Press “enter” to start.  Operator will display: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The run light will turn on while current is 
flowing into the motor.  After Auto tune is 
finished, the operator will display:

There are two parameters located in A4 that 
set the bandwidth for the Armature Regulation 
gain and the Field Regulation gain.  GAIN 
BANDWIDTH A (A4) determines the 
bandwidth used in the calculation of the 
Armature Regulation Gains.  Similarly, GAIN 
BANDWIDTH F (A4) determines the bandwidth 
used in the calculation of the Field Regulation 
Gains.
