The rotary cutting machine is an essential piece of equipment in the woodworking industry, primarily used to peel logs into thin veneer sheets, which are widely applied in the production of plywood, furniture, and decorative materials. To achieve efficient and precise processing, the rotary cutting machine relies on the coordinated operation of multiple motors, including the main spindle motor for log rotation, the cutting blade motor for veneer cutting, the conveyor belt motor for veneer output, and the feed motor for controlling cutting thickness. These motors require precise speed and torque control to ensure processing quality and production efficiency. As a versatile electrical device capable of flexibly controlling motor operation, the inverter plays a critical role in the rotary cutting machine.
This article provides a detailed explanation of how to apply the Mobeck MT110 inverter to various motor control aspects of a rotary cutting machine, covering functional analysis, inverter selection, wiring design, parameter settings, and the integration of PLC and touchscreen systems. Through a well-designed and implemented solution, the rotary cutting machine can achieve efficient, stable, and automated operation, meeting the demands of modern woodworking processes.
Functional Analysis of the Rotary Cutting Machine
The primary task of a rotary cutting machine is to process logs into veneer sheets, involving log fixation and rotation, cutting by the blade, veneer output, and precise control of cutting thickness. Below is a detailed analysis of the main motor functions in a rotary cutting machine:
1. Main Spindle Motor (Rotation Function)
Function: The main spindle motor drives the log to rotate, serving as the core power component of the rotary cutting machine.
Characteristics: It requires high power, typically ranging from 5.5 kW to 15 kW (depending on the machine size), and needs stable speed output while allowing dynamic speed adjustments based on processing requirements.
Control Requirements: The inverter must support vector control mode to ensure high torque output at low speeds and be capable of receiving external speed reference signals (e.g., from a PLC or potentiometer).
2. Cutting Blade Motor (Cutting Function)
Function: This motor drives the cutting blade to peel the rotating log into veneer sheets.
Characteristics: The power typically ranges from 3 kW to 7.5 kW, with speed adjustments required based on veneer thickness, and stable torque support during cutting.
Control Requirements: The inverter needs fast start/stop capabilities and precise speed control, often requiring synchronization with the main spindle motor.
3. Conveyor Belt Motor (Conveying Function)
Function: It ensures the smooth output of cut veneer sheets, maintaining production continuity.
Characteristics: The power is relatively low, typically between 0.75 kW and 2.2 kW, with speed needing to match the cutting rhythm.
Control Requirements: The inverter should support simple speed regulation and may need to operate in coordination with the cutting blade motor.
4. Feed Motor (Feed Function)
Function: It controls the feed speed of the cutting blade or log, directly determining the veneer thickness.
Characteristics: The power is low (0.75 kW to 1.5 kW), and it can be either an asynchronous motor or a servo motor, requiring high-precision speed control.
Control Requirements: If using an asynchronous motor, the inverter must support high-precision speed regulation and accept external analog signal inputs; if using a servo motor, a dedicated servo drive is required.
5. Other Auxiliary Motors
Function: These include motors for clamping devices, chip removal fans, etc., used to assist the processing operation.
Characteristics: The power is low (0.37 kW to 1.5 kW), with simple control requirements, typically needing only basic start/stop functions.
From the above analysis, it is clear that the motor control requirements of a rotary cutting machine are diverse. The main spindle and cutting blade motors demand high-performance control, while the conveyor belt and feed motors prioritize speed stability and precision.

Background and Functional Analysis
Edge banding machines are essential woodworking equipment in furniture manufacturing, with primary functions including pre-milling, gluing, feeding, pressing, cutting, trimming, and polishing. Frequency converters (Variable Frequency Drives, VFDs) enable precise motor speed control, optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of these processes. Based on the specific requirements of edge banding machines, frequency converters can be applied to the feeding motor, pre-milling motor, trimming motor, and polishing motor.
Application Scheme Overview
The application scheme for frequency converters includes motor allocation, wiring methods, parameter settings, and control system design. Research shows that the feeding motor typically operates at 50 Hz, while pre-milling and polishing motors require high-frequency operation (e.g., 185 Hz and 190 Hz), and the trimming motor supports coarse and fine trimming modes (80 Hz and 102 Hz). Additionally, a PLC (e.g., Siemens S7-1200) and a touchscreen (e.g., Weinview MT8071iE) can achieve automated control and parameter adjustment, which seems particularly important for enhancing operational convenience.

Detailed Research Report: Frequency Converter Application and Control Scheme Design in Edge Banding Machines
Introduction
Edge banding machines are indispensable in furniture manufacturing, performing processes such as pre-milling, gluing, feeding, pressing, cutting, trimming, and polishing. Frequency converters (VFDs) significantly enhance the operational efficiency, machining quality, and energy savings of edge banding machines by adjusting motor speeds. This report designs a frequency converter application scheme based on the specific functions of an edge banding machine, covering motor allocation, wiring methods, parameter settings, and control system selection, aiming to provide comprehensive technical guidance.
Functional Analysis of Edge Banding Machines
Based on a typical edge banding machine model (e.g., IGOLDENCNC KT-468), its main functions include:
Pre-milling: Trims the edge of the panel to ensure flatness.
Gluing: Applies hot-melt glue to the panel edge for bonding the edge band.
Feeding and Pressing: Feeds the panel steadily via a conveyor belt and presses the edge band onto the panel.
Cutting: Cuts off excess edge band.
Trimming: Includes coarse and fine trimming to level the edge band with the panel.
Scraping: Smooths the edge band, removing burrs.
Polishing: Enhances the surface finish of the edge band.
From the operational requirements, feeding demands stable low-speed operation, pre-milling and polishing require high-speed operation, and trimming needs multi-speed switching. These characteristics highlight the critical role of frequency converters in precise motor speed control.
Frequency Converter and Motor Allocation
Based on the functional modules of the edge banding machine and the number of frequency converters (four converters shown in the image), the motor allocation scheme is as follows:
Converter 1 (F 50.0 Hz): Controls the feeding motor, operating at a lower frequency (50 Hz) for stable operation.
Converter 2 (F 185 Hz): Controls the pre-milling motor, requiring high-speed operation (approximately 10,000 RPM or more).
Converter 3 (F 102 Hz): Controls the trimming motor, supporting coarse trimming (80 Hz) and fine trimming (102 Hz).
Converter 4 (F 190 Hz): Controls the polishing motor, requiring high-speed operation (approximately 10,000 RPM or more).
The cutting motor and gluing motor may be directly controlled by relays, as their speed requirements are lower.
Wiring Scheme Design
Frequency converter wiring includes power input, motor output, and control terminal wiring. Using the INVT frequency converter as an example, the details are as follows:

Speed Synchronization: The traverse motor’s movement speed must synchronize with the main winding motor’s speed to match the material winding speed.
Position Control: The traverse device must reciprocate based on the reel width, with left and right limit settings.
Start/Stop Control: Controls the start and stop of winding and traversing via external signals (e.g., buttons or PLC).
Fault Protection: Detects faults such as overload, phase loss, or overcurrent, stopping the system for protection.
A typical winding machine traverse device includes a main winding motor (driving the winding drum) and a traverse device (achieving left-right movement through a lead screw). We will use the 900 series frequency converters to control the main winding motor and the traverse motor.
2. Motor Selection and Function Assignment
2.1 Main Winding Motor
Function: Drives the reel to rotate, completing material winding.
Motor Selection: Based on the winding machine’s load and reel diameter, we assume a 4kW three-phase asynchronous motor (380V) is required. From the inverter model table on page 5 of the manual, we select the 900-0040G1 model (suitable for a 4kW motor, rated output current 18A).
Control Mode: Uses V/F control mode (ideal for scenarios with significant load variations like winding machines), adjusting speed via the inverter to control winding speed.
2.2 Traverse Motor
Function: Drives the traverse device to move left and right, achieving reciprocating motion via a lead screw mechanism.
Motor Selection: The traverse motor typically requires less power; we assume a 0.75kW three-phase asynchronous motor (380V) is needed. From the manual’s model table on page 5, we select the 900-0007M3 model (suitable for a 0.75kW motor, rated output current 2.5A).
Control Mode: Uses open-loop vector control mode (suitable for precise speed and direction control), managing the traverse motor’s forward/reverse rotation and speed via the inverter.

5. Control Logic Design
5.1 Speed Synchronization Logic
The traverse motor’s speed must synchronize with the main winding motor’s speed. Assuming the reel diameter is (D), material thickness is (t), and reel speed is (n) (rpm), the material winding linear speed is: [ v = \pi \cdot D \cdot n ]
The traverse device’s movement speed (v_{\text{traverse}}) must match (v). Assuming the lead screw pitch is (p) and the traverse motor speed is (n_{\text{traverse}}), then: [ v_{\text{traverse}} = p \cdot n_{\text{traverse}} ]
Thus, the traverse motor speed should be: [ n_{\text{traverse}} = \frac{\pi \cdot D \cdot n}{p} ]
The PLC calculates (n_{\text{traverse}}) and outputs the corresponding frequency signal (0-10V) to the traverse inverter’s AI1 terminal.
5.2 Reciprocating Motion Control
The traverse device uses left and right limit switches to control reciprocating motion:
When the traverse device reaches the left limit, the left limit switch opens, DI1 signal fails, the inverter stops forward rotation, and DI2 triggers reverse rotation.
When the traverse device reaches the right limit, the right limit switch opens, DI2 signal fails, the inverter stops reverse rotation, and DI1 triggers forward rotation.
5.3 Tension Control
Tension control can be achieved by fine-tuning the main winding motor’s speed. For more precise tension control, a tension sensor can be added, with the PLC collecting tension signals to dynamically adjust the main winding motor’s speed.
6. PLC and HMI Selection and Application

Below is a detailed application example based on the typical functional requirements of a film blowing machine, combined with the common wiring and parameter settings of the Yuqiang YQ3000-G11 inverter. Since a film blowing machine usually involves multiple drive lines (e.g., the main extruder motor, traction motor, winder motor, blower, etc.), this focuses on the control concepts, wiring diagrams, and parameter settings of the major sections for reference and subsequent adjustments.
I. Main Transmission Sections of the Film Blowing Machine and the Application Approach of the Inverter
Main (Extruder) Motor
Function: Drives the screw to extrude the melt, controlling the basic output of the entire film blowing process.
Inverter requirements: Generally requires higher power, smooth start, and stable torque output. Vector control or torque control mode can be used for better low-speed torque and speed stability.
Key points: Usually requires an external speed reference (e.g., PLC/HMI for production or speed settings) or manual potentiometer for speed command.
Traction Motor (sometimes called the stretching motor)
Function: Continuously pulls the film upward from the die head, determining the stretching ratio and helping ensure uniform thickness.
Inverter requirements: Medium power, accurate speed control, sometimes requiring multi-speed or tension control.
Key points: Needs to coordinate with the main extruder speed, maintaining a stable line speed. Usually has a speed ratio with the main extruder or uses a tension sensor/dancing roller position sensor for closed-loop control.
Winding Motor
Function: Winds the formed film into rolls, potentially requiring constant tension or taper tension control.
Inverter requirements: Must maintain stable tension even under a wide speed range. Sometimes paired with sensors or a tension controller.
Key points: Depending on production line requirements, may adopt vector control with torque limit or rely on an external tension controller for speed regulation.
Fan/Cooling Motor (e.g., air ring, cooling blower, etc.)
Function: Provides stable cooling airflow for the film blowing process.
Inverter requirements: Relatively medium or smaller power, typically just needs constant speed or simple speed control.
Key points: Often uses multi-speed or simple inverter-based speed variation to adjust airflow volume.
II. Recommended Main Hardware and Control System
Inverter
Model: Yuqiang YQ3000-G11 (select power ratings according to each motor, such as 7.5kW, 11kW, 15kW, 22kW, etc.).
Quantity: Depends on the number of motors that need control—commonly at least one each for the extruder, traction, and winding motors.
PLC and HMI (Touch Screen)
Suggest using a small PLC (e.g., Siemens S7-1200, Mitsubishi FX5U, or domestic brands like Xinje, Delta, etc.), plus a 7”–10” touch screen.
Purpose: Centralized management of line speed reference, process parameters, tension or speed ratio control. The touch screen is used for operator interface, convenient speed adjustments, alarm displays, etc.
Auxiliary Components
Potentiometer (if only manual speed control is needed and not controlled by a PLC).
Tension sensor/dancing roller position sensor (if tension control is required).
Common protection components such as contactors, circuit breakers, and thermal relays.
If an encoder is needed (closed-loop vector or synchronization), choose an inverter model with encoder interface and the corresponding encoder.
III. Major Inverter Wiring Examples
Below is a detailed explanation taking the “main extruder motor” as an example. The wiring logic for traction/winder motors is similar. For multiple inverters, each will have similar main circuit wiring but will differ in how the control terminals interface with the PLC’s I/O.
1. Main Circuit Wiring Diagram
3-phase AC power (R,S,T) -----
|----- [Circuit breaker] -----|
| |
|---- [AC contactor (optional)] --|---- L1, L2, L3 ---> Inverter(YQ3000-G11) input
|
|----> Inverter(YQ3000-G11) output U, V, W ---> Main motor U, V, W
[PE] --------------------------> Inverter PE ----> Motor chassis ground
Note:
For larger motors, it is advisable to add a contactor or soft starter on the input side of the inverter for protection or maintenance.
Do not place contactors or switches between the inverter output and the motor, as this could lead to overcurrent or inverter damage.
Proper grounding is mandatory for safety and to reduce electromagnetic interference.
2. Control Circuit (Low-Voltage Signals) Wiring Example
Below is a scenario where the PLC provides the run command and analog speed reference. If only one inverter is needed and you want manual speed control, you can connect a potentiometer to the AI terminal.
PLC digital output Y0 ----------------> Inverter DI1 (Forward run)
PLC digital output Y1 ----------------> Inverter DI2 (Reverse / other user-defined function)
PLC digital output Y2 ----------------> Inverter DI3 (multi-step speed1 / e-stop reset / etc.)
...
PLC common COM ------------------> Inverter DCM (digital common)
PLC analog output AO0(0-10V) -------> Inverter AI1 (analog speed reference)
PLC analog ground AGND -----> Inverter GND (analog reference ground)
Inverter relay output(FA/FB/FC) -----> PLC digital input X0/X1 (for fault alarm/running signal)
Inverter DO(OC/OD) -------------> PLC digital input X2 (additional programmable output if needed)
Note:
Typical naming for digital inputs is DI1, DI2, DI3…, with DCM as the common terminal; AIx are analog inputs, and GND is for analog reference; FA/FB/FC are relay outputs; OC/OD are open-collector outputs.
You can assign various functions (e.g. multi-step speeds, jog mode, fault reset, emergency stop, etc.) to the DI terminals according to production line demands.
If not using a PLC, a simple method is to set the inverter’s run command source to “panel/terminal” on the unit and connect a potentiometer (10kΩ–20kΩ) to AI1 to provide a manual speed reference.
IV. Key Function Parameter Settings
Below are typical function parameters of Yuqiang YQ3000-G11 inverters. Refer to the official manual for accuracy, as parameter numbers and names may vary by version. Common key parameters include:
Control Method Selection
For example: P00.0 = 2 means vector control (without PG); P00.0 = 0 means V/F control. Choose based on motor characteristics and load requirements.
For closed-loop vector (with encoder), select a model supporting a PG card and set P00.0 to the corresponding mode (e.g., 3 or 4).
Run Command Source
For example: P00.1 = 1 for terminal run commands; P00.1 = 2 for communication (RS485/Modbus) run commands; P00.1 = 0 for operation panel commands.
If the PLC’s digital outputs handle start/stop, set it to “terminal run command.”
Frequency Reference Source
For example: P00.2 = 1 for AI1 analog input; P00.2 = 2 for multi-step speed; P00.2 = 3 for communication reference; P00.2 = 0 for operation panel reference.
If the PLC’s analog output (0–10V) is used for speed reference, choose AI1.
Motor Parameter Settings (very important)
Set motor rated power, current, voltage, frequency, and speed. For vector control, these must be accurate.
E.g., P01.0 ~ P01.4 may correspond to rated voltage, rated current, rated power, rated frequency, rated speed (details depend on the manual).
Acceleration/Deceleration Times
For example: P00.3 (accel time), P00.4 (decel time). Adjust based on process needs. For large-inertia extruders, slightly lengthen accel/decel to prevent shock.
Maximum Frequency / Base Frequency
For example: P00.5 (max frequency), P00.6 (upper frequency limit), P00.7 (base frequency). Typically set to 50Hz or 60Hz, but can be increased if needed for the process.
Multi-Step Speeds / Simple Tension Control
If multi-step speeds are required, configure the corresponding parameters (e.g., P10.x ~ P11.x) and digital terminals.
For constant tension control, use vector mode with torque limiting or external PID (internal to the inverter or from the PLC).
Fault Protection and Monitoring
Set protection parameters such as overcurrent, overload, overvoltage, and choose how to reset faults (automatic or via terminal).
Configure the inverter’s relay outputs for fault or running signals to feed back to the PLC.
V. Example of Specific Functional Implementation
Extruder Motor Speed Control
Hardware Link: PLC HMI -> PLC AO -> AI1 (inverter) -> inverter output -> motor
Process:
Operator sets the desired extruder screw speed/throughput on the HMI (corresponding to 0–10V or 4–20mA). The PLC sends this analog signal to AI1 on the inverter.
The PLC also outputs a digital run command (RUN) to DI1 on the inverter, starting it.
The inverter, using vector or V/F control, drives the extruder motor at the specified speed.
If a fault occurs, the inverter’s relay feedback signals the PLC, and the HMI displays an alarm.
Traction Motor Constant Line Speed Control
If precise tension control is not needed, maintain a fixed ratio between traction speed and main extruder speed. The PLC calculates a proportional command from the extruder speed/frequency and outputs it to the traction inverter.
For tension or speed tracking, use a tension sensor/dancing roller with a PID loop:
The sensor provides a 4–20mA feedback to the PLC analog input, where a PID algorithm is carried out.
The PLC analog output then drives AI1 on the traction inverter.
Tuning the PID parameters keeps tension or roller position stable.
Winding Motor Tension Control (Optional)
A simple method is taper tension control, where torque or speed decreases as the roll diameter increases. Alternatively, use an external tension controller with the inverter.
If the inverter has a built-in PID, the tension sensor signal can be fed into AI2, and the inverter automatically adjusts the output frequency to maintain tension. Or the PLC can handle the loop and send a command to the inverter.
It is essential to coordinate with the traction speed to prevent slack or overstretching.

=========================================================
To control traction, winding, and fan motors with separate inverters, replicate the main circuit connection (each with its own three-phase power supply and protective devices). The control circuit can be expanded by assigning more digital outputs and analog outputs in the PLC, or using RS485 communication to reduce the number of analog channels.
VII. Usage and Commissioning Recommendations
Pre-Startup Check
Verify the power supply voltage, wiring terminals, and grounding are correct.
Use a multimeter to check the voltage/resistance of AI1, DI1, etc., to ensure they match the design.
Ensure motor parameters are correctly set in the inverter.
Initial No-Load Test Run
Disconnect the motor from the load or run at low speed with no load. Observe current and voltage, and confirm correct rotation direction.
Test emergency stop, fault protection, and reset functions.
Load Test Run
Gradually apply load from a low speed, watching for overcurrent or temperature issues.
Observe the process effect (e.g., film thickness uniformity, tension stability) and adjust acceleration/deceleration time or PID parameters if necessary.
Parameter Optimization
If speed instability or tension fluctuation occurs, refine vector control gains, torque compensation, or PID settings as recommended by the manual.
Optimize the PLC program for traction and winding speed/tension coordination.
Fault and Protection
Set appropriate fault levels (whether the drive stops immediately on alarm, etc.) and any delay features to avoid inadvertent stoppage or delayed protection.
Regularly check the cooling path, filter, and fans for proper operation.
VIII. Conclusion
By using multiple Yuqiang YQ3000-G11 inverters, one can separately drive the main extruder, traction, and winding motors of a film blowing machine, thus realizing automated control over production rate (speed), film thickness (speed ratio), and tension (winding). For wiring, the main circuit employs a three-phase input and U/V/W outputs to the motor. The control circuit can flexibly employ PLC/HMI digital and analog signals for start/stop and speed references. When configuring parameters, accurately input the motor’s rated data and set reasonable acceleration/deceleration times, maximum frequency, torque boost, tension control, and multi-step speeds. In more complex setups involving tension control, dancing roller control, or multi-segment process curves, further development can be done using the inverter’s built-in functions or PLC logic for greater flexibility and parameter optimization.
I. Typical Motors Requiring Control in Circular Looms and the Approach to Using the Inverter
In a circular loom, there are generally several main motors to consider:
Main Weaving Motor (Main Motor)
Used to drive the main shaft of the circular loom, weaving tubular fabric.
This motor often requires relatively precise speed regulation to match the requirements of yarn density, tension, etc.
It is recommended to use a vector-controlled inverter (i.e., VCD-2000 series full vector control) and perform motor parameter auto-tuning (dynamic or static) to ensure good low-speed torque output and speed accuracy.
Winding/Pulling Motor
Winds the woven fabric onto the take-up roller or provides a stable pulling force.
This motor also usually requires adjustable speed capability to maintain a stable pull speed under different diameter/tension conditions.
If constant tension is required, consider using the inverter’s built-in PID regulation function (function group P7) by detecting the tension sensor feedback signal to adjust speed automatically.
Warp Feeding or Auxiliary Motor
Used for feeding warp yarn, adjusting the yarn creel, or driving other auxiliary mechanisms. If it only requires simple speed changes or two to three speed stages, you can use the multi-speed function of the inverter (P3.26–P3.32) or simple external terminal switching.
Note: Whether each motor on the circular loom should be equipped with its own inverter depends on the production line requirements. This example focuses on a typical dual-inverter control plan for a “main weaving motor + winding motor.” If the equipment structure is simpler, you can equip only the main weaving motor with an inverter.
II. Hardware Wiring
The wiring approach and terminal names/functions mentioned below are based on standard designations in the VCD-2000 series inverter manual. If your model’s terminal labels differ slightly, please refer to the actual nameplate and manual.
1. Main Circuit (Power Supply) Wiring
Connect the three-phase AC380V (or AC220V, depending on the model) power supply to the inverter input terminals R, S, T.
If it is a single-phase model, connect only two wires (R, T) for single-phase 220V.
The three output wires of the motor connect to the inverter output terminals U, V, W (ensure they match the U, V, W in the motor junction box; if the running direction is opposite the desired direction, swap any two motor leads or use the reverse command).
PE terminal (ground): Ensure both the inverter and motor have reliable grounding, typically via a dedicated ground wire directly connected to the cabinet ground bus or welded to the plant protective ground.
If a braking resistor is needed (for quick stopping or significant regenerative energy), connect one side of the resistor to the inverter terminal P+ (labeled “+” or “P”) and the other side to B (labeled “PB” or “DB”), and set the relevant braking parameters in the function codes (e.g., P2.05, P2.06, etc.).
2. Control Terminal Wiring — Example for Main Weaving Motor
Below is an ASCII-style diagram of a common “external terminal start/stop + analog potentiometer speed control + fault output” wiring configuration. If multi-speed, forward/reverse, PID regulation, etc. are required, you can adjust and expand upon this basic framework.
┌───────────────────────── VCD-2000 Inverter ──────────────────────────┐

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Terminals X1–X6 can be assigned various functions in function codes P4.00–P4.07. In this example, X1 is set to “Forward Run” (FWD), and X2 can be set to “Reset/Stop” or “Jog,” etc.
If you need both forward and reverse, assign X1 = FWD and X2 = REV.
If you want to switch between panel (or PLC) control and external terminals, you can use multi-function terminals to implement “command channel switching” and “frequency channel switching” (assign codes 23, 24, etc. to P4.00–P4.07).
If you need PID tension control, connect the tension sensor (4–20mA or 0–10V) to CI or VI, then configure the relevant PID parameters in P7.00–P7.33.
3. Winding/Pulling Motor Inverter Wiring
The wiring principle is the same as for the main weaving motor. For constant tension winding, connect a tension sensor or pressure sensor output (4–20mA) to the inverter’s CI (or VI), and enable the PID function (P7.00=1).
Usually, you need to set P7.01=0 (digital setpoint) or 1 (analog setpoint) and P7.02=0 (VI feedback) or 1 (CI feedback) accordingly. Then configure P7.05 to match the feedback reading for the desired tension.
III. Core Function Codes and Parameter Examples
Below are key configuration ideas to help you understand typical debugging requirements for circular loom applications. In actual production, adjust them according to the motor nameplate, process needs, and auto-tuning results.
1. Basic Motor Parameter Auto-Tuning (Group PA)
PA.01: Motor Rated Power (kW) For example, 5.5 kW → set 5.5
PA.02: Motor Rated Voltage (V) For a 380V motor → set 380
PA.03: Motor Rated Current (A) According to the nameplate, e.g., 11.3A
PA.04: Motor Rated Frequency (Hz) Typically 50Hz
PA.05: Motor Rated Speed (rpm) For example, 1420 rpm
PA.06: Motor Poles For a 4-pole motor → set 4
PA.00: Auto-Tuning Mode
1 = Dynamic auto-tuning (if the motor can be unloaded); press RUN to start.
2 = Static auto-tuning (if it cannot be unloaded).
After auto-tuning, you get better low-speed torque and stable speed performance.
If using a 0–10V external potentiometer, set P1.04 = 10.00.
If using a 4–20mA signal, switch JP3 to “I” and configure P1.07 / P1.08 / P1.09 for the range limits.
4. Start/Stop and Braking (Group P2)
P2.00 / P2.01: Acceleration/Deceleration Time For instance, 3.0s to 5.0s, depending on the machine’s inertia. Since a circular loom has relatively large inertia, you can extend acceleration time appropriately to avoid overcurrent trips.
P2.05 / P2.06: DC Braking Start Frequency and Current If you need a quick “spot brake” on stopping, you can enable DC braking; just avoid motor overheating.
5. Multi-Speed / Simple PLC (Groups P3 / P8)
If you want an inverter to achieve multiple speeds (e.g., low-speed threading, high-speed operation, inspection speed, etc.), combine the multi-function input terminals X1–X6 in different combinations to get multi-speed operation.
P3.26–P3.32: Multi-speed frequencies 1–7
P4.00–P4.07: Assign X1, X2, etc., as multi-speed terminals For more complex sequencing, you can use the PLC function (Group P8) for automatic speed changes.
6. PID Closed-Loop (Group P7) (e.g., Tension Control Motor)
P7.00: Enable PID Regulation → 1 = closed-loop
P7.01: Setpoint Channel and P7.02: Feedback Channel
Example: Setpoint channel = digital (0), feedback channel = VI (0) or CI (1).
P7.05: Target Setpoint
For instance, if the pressure sensor outputs 0–5V corresponding to 0–5 kg tension and you want to maintain 3 kg, set the voltage at 3 kg as your target.
Overcurrent, overvoltage, phase loss, stall, reversed phase sequence, etc., can be set via the P5 group thresholds. You can also check fault records in P6.
To output fault signals to an external alarm indicator, set the function for TA, TB, or OC1 in P4.10–P4.11 to “Inverter Fault Output” or “Running Signal,” etc.
IV. Key Implementation Points
Main Weaving Motor
Start/Stop: If X1 = FWD with +24V → COM, closing X1 starts forward run, opening it stops. If reverse is needed, set X2 = REV.
Speed Control: If using an external potentiometer, wire it to 10V, VI, GND. Then set P0.01=5, and P1.04=10.00 (or 5.00).
Electronic Thermal Protection: After configuring PA.01–PA.06 for rated motor parameters, check P5.00–P5.04 for motor overload protection.
Winding/Pulling Motor (if tension detection is involved)
Connect the 4–20mA tension sensor signal to the inverter’s CI, set JP3 to “I.” Then set P7.00=1 (PID), P7.02=1 (CI feedback), P7.01=0 (digital setpoint) or otherwise, and P7.05 for the target tension value (converted from the sensor).
Adjust PID parameters (P7.11, P7.12, P7.13) as needed. During actual winding, check changes in roll diameter, tension error, oscillations, etc., then fine-tune the PID.
Multi-Speed / Manual Adjustments
During setup or maintenance, you may need low-speed creeping, repeated jog, etc. You can set X3 or X4 to “Jog Run” or “Multi-Speed Selection,” and assign relevant frequency values (P3.06, P3.26–P3.32). During production, simply toggle the switch or foot pedal to switch speeds quickly.
Fault Alarms and Safety Interlocks
It is recommended to connect the inverter’s TA-TB (or OC1) relay contact to an external audible/visual alarm circuit or to an upper-level PLC for monitoring. This prevents undetected faults that could damage machinery or cause safety incidents.
Circular looms often have mechanical interlocks or photoelectric sensors, which can also be connected to the inverter’s X terminals for quick stopping or emergency braking.
V. A More Intuitive “Central Control + Multiple Motors” Layout (Brief)
If a single circular loom has multiple motors that need coordination, you can use these approaches:
Independent Inverters + Upper-Level PLC: Each motor has a VCD-2000 inverter, and the PLC gathers all sensors (speed, tension, switches, etc.) as well as HMI operations, then issues run commands/frequency references to each inverter via RS485 or digital signals.
Master-Slave Mode: Set the main weaving motor’s inverter as the master, using the inverter’s built-in RS485 to send the speed or frequency to other slave inverters (function codes P4.21, P4.22, etc.). Ensure consistent inverter parameters and non-conflicting communication addresses.
VI. Common Precautions
Confirm Motor Insulation: Especially for older motors or in harsh environments, measure insulation first to ensure it meets the inverter’s requirements.
Low-Speed Cooling: If the loom will run for a long time at low speed with high torque, consider forced ventilation or a specially designed motor for inverters.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Strictly separate power cables from control signals or use shielded cables. If high accuracy is required for surrounding instruments, add line reactors or filters.
Altitude Considerations: Above 1000 meters, you may need to derate the inverter or increase cooling.
Ensure Adequate Safety Measures: Emergency stop and electrical interlocks should be paired with the inverter control terminals or external relays, tested thoroughly before production runs.
VII. Example Summary
In conclusion, for circular loom applications, the VCD-2000 series inverter can independently drive the main weaving motor and the winding/pulling motors. By configuring appropriate function codes and connecting external sensors/signals, you can implement multi-speed operation, PID tension control, fault-linked alarms, and more. The key steps are:
Mechanical and Electrical Integration: Verify the power requirements of each shaft on the loom, select inverters with sufficient capacity, complete main circuit wiring, and ensure PE grounding.
Control Terminal Planning: Assign X1–X6, FWD, and REV terminals for start/stop, forward/reverse, jog, multi-speed, PID enable, etc., according to the loom’s process needs.
Parameter Settings: Perform motor auto-tuning in PA.00–PA.06, then adjust P0 (operation/frequency channel), P2 (accel/decel), P3/P8 (multi-speed/PLC), P4 (terminal definition), and P7 (PID) step by step based on on-site testing.
Interlock Protection and EMI Suppression: Pay attention to low-speed heat dissipation, electromagnetic compatibility, fault relay outputs, and alarm circuits.
Following these practices, the circular loom can achieve excellent speed control performance, improve fabric quality and efficiency, reduce mechanical shock, and extend equipment lifespan. If later you need remote monitoring or more advanced automation, you can utilize the inverter’s built-in RS485 port to integrate with PLCs or HMIs. Please consult production requirements, safety standards, and the inverter manual for detailed on-site adjustments. Best wishes for a successful application!
