1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 General information
This manual describes operations required for the installation and commissioning of the HPD
(High Performance drive) drive for brushless motors. Read all chapters of the manual carefully
before using the drive.
1.2 Product description
The HPD drive is a digital frequency converter for driving AC brushless motors. The adoption of
a Parametric Operator Interface makes drive configuration procedures faster and easier to repeat.
The large number of configuration possibilities makes the drive suitable for numerous applications.
A high power 16 bit micro-controller allows speed control with the characteristics required of a
servo controller, plus a range of auxiliary functions that can help reduce the presence of control
electronics in the application and thus permit considerable economic savings.
In addition to the positioner functions with trapezoidal profile, digital lock, spindle orientation,
stepper motor emulation, torque control and acceleration control, the HPD drive also has an internal
pico-PLC. The pico-PLC adopts the most diffused industrial programming standards and offers
considerable freedom for use of inputs and outputs. It also enables users to develop a range of
additional functions that are not among the basic features of the drive.
The HPD drive is complete with an RS-422/RS-485 serial interface which can be used for
configuration, monitoring, or simultaneous transmission of commands to a multiple system comprising
up to 32 HPD drives.
In addition to the above functionality, the HPD drive is designed as an open system with the
facility to accommodate hardware and software expansion cards. For further information on
currently available expansion cards contact Parker Hannifin S.p.A. - Divisione S.B.C. directly or
your local Dealer.

1.3 Direct mains connection
The HPD series of drives is specifically designed for direct connection to a three-phase mains
power supply from 90 to 460V~ 50/60 Hz, without interposing transformers. It is the responsibility
of the User to connect the system via protection fuses. The use of single phase power supplies is
permitted although motor power output must be derated in this case. Maximum motor power is
calculated by the following formula:
Pmax = 27 ⋅ 10-3 Vmains 2 [watt].
All protections required for safety, such as overvoltage detection, short circuit fault protection and
inverter and motor overtemperature detection are integral with the drive.
Mains filters and motor filters must be calculated during the design of the electrical cubicle so that
EMC standards are met in order to qualify for CE marking.
Chapter 2 provides a detailed view of problems related to EMC.
N.B. leave at least 60 sec. after switching the drive off before switching it
on again.
1.4 Identification
HPD drives are available in 4 models: HPD 2, HPD 5, HPD 8 and HPD 16. The number that
follows HPD is the value of drive rated current in amperes.
HPD drives carry an identification plate on the right hand side showing all
essential information for correct identification of the unit. Make a note of
the information on this plate before consulting S.B.C. on technical
matters.
The identification plate is shown below.

2 - INSTALLATION
• The HPD drive must be installed in a vertical position (power terminal block X4 at the top).
• Leave at least 190 mm clearance above and below the drive.
2.1 Safety instructions
• Make sure the drive is correctly sized for the motor you intend to connect. Compare rated
voltage and current.
• Wire up electrical panel/drive/motor in accordance with the instructions in this section of the
manual, taking into consideration EMC requirements and established safety legislation.
• The User is responsible for installing fuses on the drive A.C. power supply.
• Power conductors and control circuits must be kept apart (at least 20 cm) and, when they must
cross, intersections must be at a right angle. Motor lines and mains power lines must never be
parallel.
• All power conductors must be sufficiently sized (refer to table in heading 2.7; in all cases
compliance with IEC227-2 must be guaranteed).
• Conductors connected to the system by means of the terminal strip must not be soldered
(EN60065, art.15.3.5).
• Make sure drive and motor and properly earthed.
• Make sure that the maximum voltage on terminals L1, L2, L3 does not exceed rated voltage by
more than 10% in the worst possible case (see EN60204-1, section 4.3.1). Excessively high
mains feeding voltage can damage the drive.
• Do not detach electrical connections when the drive is connected to the power supply.
• Follow all installation instructions in this manual step by step. If you are in doubt, contact S.B.C.
customer service.
• Dangerous voltages may remain for 60 seconds after mains disconnection and system power-
down; do not touch power cables during this interval.
• Do not open the drive casing. This action is potentially dangerous and will automatically invalidate
the guarantee.
Installation and wiring must be carried out with the entire electrical panel
disconnected from the power supply. Make sure that the drive enable
command is disconnected from the emergency circuit. Qualified
technical personnel must preside when the power panel is powered up for
the first time.

2.2 Interference suppression hints
Because of the high speed voltage wavefronts in PWM, high levels of stray current may
sometimes flow through capacitive couplings and earth systems. Stray currents of this type can affect
other functional units. It is therefore prudent to calculate the presence of an amount of spurious
energy that depends on the size of the system (drives, motor lines, motor). Spurious energy generates
EM radiation that can interfere with the operation of nearby systems. Existing standards do not set
down limits for this type of radiation.
Preventive measures
Basic methods for preventing interference are: decoupling of drive from its surroundings, high
quality and properly sized conductors to neutralise voltages (earthing), and adequate shielding.
Shields, filters and drives must have a large contact area to achieve the maximum possible decoupling
and hence optimal noise suppression. Attention must be paid, however, to the entire installation, as
this is one of the most important precautions in assuring efficient noise suppression.
High frequency interference takes the form of radiation, especially from the motor lines. This
effect can be reduced with the use of shielding.
Another essential counter-measure for noise suppression is the use of filters.
The use of filters is aimed at reducing conducted interference on wiring and the return of
conducted interference to source (drive) through routes offering the lowest impedance. This method
provides effective protection for other systems connected to the same electrical line, also protecting
the drive from interference originating from other systems. When installing filters consider the mains
input and motor feeding output; the motor feeding output can be protected with output filters that
minimise interference levels (generally torroidal ferrite core coils bearing several windings of all three
motor wires).
2.3 Mains filter installation instructions
To guarantee electromagnetic compatibility in compliance with the relevant standards the

maximum priority must be awarded to EMC requirements when designing the control cubicle. To
obtain the best results from filters follow the instructions in this section carefully, because
even a complex and expensive filter is ineffective unless it is

installed taking EMC aspects into consideration.
Avoid:
- routing noise emitting cables parallel to “clean” cables

- parallel cables, especially in the vicinity of the filter (ensure physical separation)
- cable loops (keep cables as short as possible and close to the common potential).
11
Additional measures
- With the exception of mains cables to the filter, all power and control wiring must be shielded
and, wherever possible, kept segregated (minimum distance 20 cm). If control and power cables
must cross, the intersection must be at a right angle.
- Shielded cables must be installed on a copper bar by means of a high conductivity wire clamp.
The area of contact must be as large as possible and the shield must be unbroken. In general the
shield should be connected at each extremity. In certain circumstances, however, control cable
shields may be connected only at one end to eliminate mains hum that could interfere with the control
signal. Decide case by case as numerous factors must be considered. Adopt the following general
approach: if the shield is solely for shielding, connect at both ends. If current flowing in the shield
interferes with the shielded signals, connect at one end only.
- The incoming cable must be connected to an earth terminal by means of a screw to ensure
proper contact between shield and earth.
- RF interference suppression filters must be installed as close as possible to the drive and must
have a large area of contact with the power panel or the baseplate. Remove all paint. The filter earth
terminal must be connected to the earth bar along the shortest possible route.
- As far as possible keep the power side (drive) and control side (PLC or NC) physically
separated by separating the metal mounting plates. Do not route any cables through the mounting
plates.
Protective measures for drives with > 3.5mA dispersion current per phase
Interference currents dispersed through the earth system may be considerable in certain
conditions. Therefore, make sure all suppression filters are properly earthed before they are
connected. Cable sizes must be in line with the requirements of safety standards.
If a suppression filter is permanently connected and current dispersion during normal operation is
greater than 3.5mA (which would be expected with most drives) adopt one of the following
measures additionally:
a) Increase shield size to at least 10 mm².
b) Install a detection system to monitor the shield and automatically disconnect the drive in the
presence of faults.
c) Install a second conductor in parallel (electrically) with the shield using separate terminals.
The installer must ensure that filter terminals are protected.
12
2.4 Control cubicle layout example
All conductors down-line of the mains filter must be shielded

and mounted to a copper bar with large contact area. Also the
copper bar must present an ample area of contact with the
cubicle mounting plate.
Large surface area partition shield with generous contact area

around perimeter. Remove paint from contact points in the
cubicle.

2.5 HPD drive mains filters
S.B.C. has developed a special series of filters for HPD drives. When the filters are installed in
accordance with our instructions, compliance with EN55011-class A is guaranteed; for class B
rating add a transformer to the power supply (shielded primary and secondary). Users must allow
space in the control cubicle to accommodate filters implemented at the time of the project. S.B.C.
filters provide both mains and motor output filter functions.
Filters of different manufacture can also be utilised. In this case S.B.C. offers its technical
support by testing the filter you intend to use and generating a test data report.
CERTIFIED FILTER CONFIGURATIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN55011 (group

1 classes A and B)
High attenuation S.B.C. three-phase filters are specifically designed for S.B.C. brushless motor
drives in compliance with the standard IEC950 for stray current up to 3.5 mA (380 - 50 Hz) for
semi-static equipment.

In the former case follow this connection diagram:

In the case of parallel connections to more than one HPD, connections to pins 9, 5, 6, and 8,
must be made only on the last drive in the group.
25
If the frequency/direction mode configuration is adopted, channel A is dedicated to frequency

while channel B handles direction. Frequently, a 24V interface is preferred to an RS-422 serial port.
Using push-pull configuration, the conversion can be implemented on the external connector by
following this wiring diagram:

see text for burden resistors
The example in the figure shows the connection between two HPD drives in digital lock with a
master, but this configuration can be extended to several drives connected in series. On the final
drive in the series connect the burden resistors by jumpering pin 1 with pin 9, pin 2 with pin 5, pin 3
with pin 6 and pin 4 with pin 8 on connector X6. The master can be an externally fed encoder, or the
simulated encoder output on another drive.
The signal from the master encoder must be differential type 5V RS-422; it is therefore possible
to connect a maximum of 10 slave HPDs.
If the master is an HPD drive, then up to 32 units can be connected in digital lock mode using the
same simulated encoder signal (RS-422 standard).
For the relative programming of the HPD, consult the Digital locking chapter in this manual.
2.11.1 Encoder emulation
On connector X7 there are signals of encoder emulation phase A, phase B and phase C
(reference zero). The signals are RS-422 type. For the relative programming of pulses per revolution
consult the Basic parameters chapter in this manual, bit b42.0, b42.1 and b42.2 (default = 1024
pulses/revolution).
26
2.12 Serial line connection
The HPD drive serial line can be configured as RS-422 or RS-485 depending on the connection.
In both cases termination resistors must be used (150 Ω). Where more than one HPD drive is
connected to the bus the final node must be terminated as shown below. The two cases are
illustrated in the following diagrams.

2.13 Braking resistor
HPD drives are equipped with an integrated braking resistor. The effective use of the braking
resistor can be checked by monitoring the value of parameter Pr37, which is expressed as a
percentage. If you intend to dissipate more power, use an external braking resistor. To connect up
the system (which must be carried out in conditions of complete safety) disconnect the jumper
between terminals 9 and 10 of terminal board X4; connect one end of the resistor to terminal 9 and
the other to terminal 11on X4. The external resistor value must be 40 ohm and a thermal magnetic
circuit breaker must be installed between resistor and drive. The minimum wire size for the
connection is 4 mm2; the connection cables should be as short as possible and, in any event, no
longer than 3 metres.
27
2.14 Backup
When you need to keep the drive electronics powered up during mains losses, for example to
maintain the simulated encoder function, certain precautions are necessary.
A) Use an external 24V d.c. 2 A power supply.
B) Ensure that the drive is not started up with the backup voltage, which is only intended to maintain
it in standby. To ensure this condition use the setup shown in the following figure.
C) When mains voltage is restored the drive must not be enabled until 10 seconds have elapsed.
When the mains fails the HPD will generate an undervoltage alarm; example 11 in the Examples
and applications chapter indicates a method for resetting this alarm automatically ensuring a 10
second delay.

3.1 Using the keypad
The keypad-display module is designed to provide an intuitive operator interface. It can be used
to program operating data, monitor system status and enter commands.
The module has only three keys, located at the top of the front panel just below the display. The
keys are marked: [M], [+] and [-].
[M] is used to change the display mode and consequently also the function of [+] and [-].
There are two display modes: parameter mode and parameter value mode.
When the unit is powered up, provided there are no active alarms, the message “IdLE” (drive
disabled) or “run” (drive enabled) is displayed; this is also the position of parameter Pr0.
Press [+] or [-] to scroll through the parameters.
If you want to check a parameter value, press [M]; when the value is shown it can be updated
using [+] and [-].
To return to parameter mode press [M] again.
The display can be shown in various forms, depending on the parameter in question.
If you need to increase (or decrease) a parameter value quickly, press [M] while the up key [+]
(or down key [-] ) is pressed.

In addition to the parameter values and the pico-PLC instructions, the display may show the
following messages:
r. xx At the time of power-up this message indicates the software version installed (2 seconds
approx.).
IdLE At power-up and in correspondence with Pr0 this message shows that no alarms are
present and the system is disabled.
run At the time of power-up and in correspondence with Pr0 this message indicates that no
alarms are present and the drive is enabled; the motor shaft may be spinning.
Er. xx In correspondence with Pr0 this message indicates that the drive has detected an alarm (xx
indicates the alarm code) and has therefore been disabled. When an alarm is detected the
display automatically switches to parameter Pr0 and shows the alarm code.
dcbuS In correspondence with Pr0 this message indicates that the drive is not operating at low
voltage (b40.10=0) and that DC bus voltage is still below the 120 V threshold; the inrush
current circuit is still connected so the drive is not yet ready (b41.4=0).
Prxx Indication of parameter xx (value displayed by pressing “M”).
Pb. xx Indication of bit parameter xx.
bxx.yy Indication of bit yy of parameter xx; press “M” to display bit status.
In. xx Indication of instruction xx of PLC program.
donE Displayed for approximately 1 second each time a command is entered.
rESet Displayed for approximately 1 second each time an alarm reset command is entered
(b99.10).
tESt Displayed during wiring test (b70.3).
rEtrY It’s displayed when a writing error is detected storing the pico-PLC instructions (b99.14)
or while saving parameters (b99.15).
3.2 Commissioning the HPD drive
The steps described in this section must be followed carefully when the drive is started up for the
first time.
1) Connect the motor to the drive in compliance with the wiring diagrams in the manual.
2) Make sure the drive is disabled (terminal 11 of board X3 must be open)
3) Power up the drive.
4) After some seconds the display shows “IdLE”.
5) Setting essential parameters:
Pr33 calculation (rated current)
InM
Pr33 = ⋅ 100
InD ⋅ 2
where: InM is rated motor current at zero rpm in Ampere

InD is rated drive current in Ampere
The maximum value of Pr33 is 50.0
Pr19 calculation (peak current)

Pr19MAX = Pr33⋅ 3
31
The maximum value must be no higher than three times the value of Pr33
Pr29 calculation (number of poles)

Use the following table for MB series motors
Flange ( mm ) Pr29
56 4
70 4
105 8
145 8
205 8
Pr32 calculation (rated speed)
If Pb 42.6=0 Pr32 = Vmax ⋅ 1.12

ω ⋅ VMAIN
If Pb 42.6=1 Pr 32 = ⋅ 8.3
VMOT
where: ω is nominal motor speed in rad/sec
Vmain is HPD power supply in Vrms
Vmot is motor rated voltage in Vrms
Evaluation of Pr16 and Pr17 (speed regulator gain)

The default values of Pr16 and Pr17 have been chosen considering identical motor and drive
rated currents; if this is not the case correct the values of parameters Pr16 and Pr17 with the
ratio of the motor rated current/drive rated current. Preventive execution of this compensation
will eliminate the risk of motor vibration at the first start-up.
6) Set the analogue reference signal to 0 V (terminals 1, 2 of board X2), and enable the drive (24
V on terminal 11 of board X3 ).
7) The motor shaft must be stopped; when the analogue reference voltage is changed motor speed
should change proportionally. If this is not the case check your wiring.
8) Save your changes with b99.15.
The drive is preset with default values designed to meet the requirements of the majority of
applications. With the default values the pico-PLC in the drive runs the program described in
appendix G, so the following functions will be present on the input and output terminal boards:
TERMINAL BOARD X2 TERMINAL BOARD X3

11 real speed > Pr13 11 start drive
12 motor speed = reference (+/- 20 rpm) 12 left-hand stroke end (n. c.)
13 real speed = 0 13 right-hand stroke end (n. c.)
14 real speed > 0 14 emergency stop (n. c.)
15 motor thermal image active (i2t) 15 clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation
16 16 start / stop
17 terminal A drive ready 17
18 terminal B (n.c. contact) 18
32
The functions on terminals 12, 13 and 14 must be enabled by setting bit b90.10 to one. This
requires access to the extended parameters menu.
The default PLC program controls parameter Pr5 in addition to timer 1 (Pr92) and bits b40.0,
b40.4, b40.5, b40.6, b40.12 so in this case the above binary parameters and switches cannot be
utilised unless the pico-PLC is disabled (b99.13=0) or the basic program is modified.
Short and extended menu
When the HPD drive is in default status, only a limited number of parameters are displayed.
These parameters are the only ones required for applications in which the HPD is employed as a
straightforward frequency converter, i.e. you are not using the advanced functions of the drive (e.g.
using HPD with a Numerical Control or an intelligent axis control card). Switch between short and
extended menu using b99.6.
Short memory parameters are:
Pr0 Real speed of motor shaft in rpm.
Pr1 Analogue reference offset (terminals 1 and 2 of terminal board X2 ).
Pr2 Analogue reference full scale: speed value in rpm corresponding to 10 V reference signal.
Pr8 Acceleration/deceleration ramp values in seconds per 1000 rpm
Pr16 Integral gain of speed control loop.
Pr17 Speed control loop damping.
Pr19 Peak current delivered to drive expressed as a percentage of the peak rated value of the
drive.
Pr29 Number of motor poles.
Pr32 Rated speed (rpm).
Pr33 Rated current that can be delivered by the drive (can be maintained indefinitely) expressed
in percent of the peak rated current of the drive.
Pr35 Instantaneous current requested by the motor expressed as a percentage of drive peak
rated current.
b99.6 Enable extended menu. Default=0. Set to 1 to obtain the extended menu.
b99.7 Security. Default=0. Set to 1 to protect parameters from modification.
b99.10 Alarm reset command.
b99.13 PLC status. Default=1. At 1 the PLC program is executed, at 0 the program is not
executed.
b99.15 Parameter storage command.
Using extended menu you can manage all parameters and pico-PLC instructions.
Restoring default parameters
If you need to restore the factory-set default parameter values:

- disable the drive via hardware (open terminal 11 on board X3)
- power-up the system
- the display will show “IdLE” after approximately 3 seconds
- set b99.7 and b99.13 to zero
- enter command b99.12
- save your changes with b99.14 and b99.15.
33
3.3 Basic parameters

To access all the following parameters open the extended menu by setting b99.6 to one. For this
procedure, b99.7 must be set to zero.
DECIMAL PARAMETERS

appears on the display. In its place a message corresponding to drive status is shown.
Pr1 Analogue reference offset. This is expressed in input A/D converter counts.
Programming limits are -10000 and +10000 while the range of the A/D converter is from -
16384 to +16383 over ± 10 V.

the analogue input.
Pr4 Frequency reference full scale (connector X6). Unit=rpm, range=±32767,
default=3000. If b40.12=1 and b40.13=1, Pr7 will have the following value:
if b42.5=0 Pr7 = Fin ⋅ Pr4 / 2000000 (frequency/direction signal)
if b42.5=1 Pr7 = Fin ⋅ Pr4 / 500000 (quadrature signal)
where Fin is the frequency on the encoder input.
Pr5 Internal reference. Unit=rpm, range=±9000, default=0. If b40.12=1 and b40.13=0, Pr7
will be the same as Pr5.
Pr6 Reserved read-only speed reference. Unit=rpm, range=±9000. If b40.2=1 Pr6 is only
utilised as a speed reference for the control loop. The active operating mode will enter its
speed request in parameter Pr6.
Pr7 Main reference (read-only parameter). Unit=rpm, range=±9000. If b40.2=0, Pr7 is used
as a reference for the speed control loop. In certain operating modes Pr7 can be used as a
reference for other factors (torque / acceleration). In this case Pr7 is expressed in a suitable
unit.
Pr8 Acceleration ramp for positive speed values. Unit=s/krpm range=0.002..65.535,
resolution=0.001 s, default=0.002 s. Acceleration for positive speeds required of the

takes Pr8 seconds.
Pr9 Deceleration ramp for positive speed values. Unit=s/krpm, range=0.002..65.535,
resolution=0.001 s, default=0.002 s. Deceleration for positive speeds required of the

takes Pr10 seconds.
Pr11 Deceleration ramp for negative speed values. Unit=s/krpm, range=0.002..65.535,
resolution=0.001 s, default=0.002 s. Deceleration for negative speeds required of the

takes Pr11 seconds.
34
Pr12 Deceleration ramp for stroke end and stop functions . Unit=s/krpm,
range=0.002..65.535, resolution=0.001 s, default=0.002 s. Deceleration required of the
motor by the stroke limit and stop functions is internally limited so deceleration of 1000 rpm
takes Pr12 seconds.
Pr13 Overspeed threshold. Unit=rpm, range=0..+13000, default=3500. If the absolute value
for motor speed exceeds the value entered in Pr13, b41.0 must be =1, otherwise it will be
= 0.
Pr14 High speed threshold. Unit=rpm, range=±13000, default=20. When b40.7=0, if the
speed difference between motor and reference is less than Pr14 and greater than Pr15,
b41.1 will be =1, otherwise it will be = 0. In the case of b40.7=1, if motor speed is less
than Pr14 and higher than Pr15, b41.1 will be =1, otherwise it will be =0.
Pr15 Low speed threshold. Unit=rpm, range= ±13000, default=20. When b40.7=0, if the
speed difference between motor and reference is less than Pr14 and greater than Pr15,

than Pr14 and higher than Pr15, b41.1 will be =1, otherwise it will be =0.
Pr16 Integral gain of speed control loop. Range =0...32767, default=120.
Pr17 Speed control loop damping. Range=0...32767, default=2000. If Pr16 is set to zero
Pr17 sets the value for proportional gain of the speed control loop.
Pr18 Bandwidth limiter. Unit=512µs, range=0..1000, default=1. Use Pr18 to set the time
constant of a first order filter located on the digital torque demand signal. The filter cut-off
frequency will be: 310/Pr18 Hertz.
Pr19 Peak current. Unit=%, range=0..100.0%, resolution=0.1%, default=100.0%. Maximum
current that the drive can deliver to the motor expressed as a percentage of drive peak
current. It is good practice to maintain this value to within 3 times the rated motor current.

Pr35 Torque monitor. Unit=% of peak torque, resolution 0.1%. This parameter indicates the
percentage of torque (or current) that the motor is delivering.
Pr36 Thermal image of motor winding. Unit=% of reference temperature. This read-only
parameter indicates an estimation of the heat on the innermost windings of the motor. If the
value reaches 100.0 %, which is equal to the nominal value, b41.11 switches to 1 so that
current can be limited to the rated value.

Pr12.
b40.7 Absolute/relative speed window selection. Default=0. If set to zero speed windows
Pr14 Pr15 b41.1 will operate in relative mode, if set to 1 the speed windows will operate

used to limit motor torque.
b40.9 Software enable. Default=1. If set to zero the drive cannot be started.
b40.10 Low voltage operation enable. Default=0. If at 1 the inrush current circuit will be
connected each time the drive is disabled, thus permitting rapid increases in power supply
voltage. When the drive is started the inrush current circuit will be connected before the
effective start-up of the power stage. This procedure causes a drive start-up delay of
120ms.
b40.11 Analogue output selector. Default=0. If set to 0 the analogue output will carry a signal
proportional to motor torque. If set to 1 it carries a value proportional to Pr38.

as the main reference. If set to 1 the reference will be digital and, by means of 40.13, it can
be set for internal or external. If set for an external input, using b42.5 this can be set for
quadrature or frequency/direction.
b40.13 Internal or frequency reference selector. Default=0. If b40.12=1, b40.13 can be set
to 0 to select internal reference, or to 1 to select the frequency input (encoder-in) which, in
turn can be configured as frequency/direction or quadrature signal using b42.5.

0.
b41.2 Zero speed. If motor speed (Pr0) is zero rpm, b41.2=1, otherwise b41.2=0.
b41.3 Forward. If motor speed (Pr0) is positive b41.3=1, otherwise b41.3=0.
b41.4 Drive Healthy. If =1 no alarms are present, otherwise =0.
b41.5 Hardware enable status . 1 when hardware enable is set.
37
b41.6 Temperature pre-alarm. 10 degrees before reaching the maximum temperature of the
power stage, b41.6 is set to 1.
b41.7 External alarm. Alarm for user’s equipment.
b41.8 Auxiliary alarm. Second alarm for user’s equipment.

terminated incorrectly.
b41.10 Speed control saturation. b41.10=1 when the speed control loop is delivering maximum
current.
b41.11 I2T active. Indicates that Pr36 has reached 100.0 % and therefore the drive is restricting

3.4 Basic commands
To transmit the following commands b99.7 must be on zero. For commands b42.3 and b94.1,
b99.6 must be on one.
b42.3 Re-initialise serial line. Command to reinitialise the serial line when the communication
speed (Pr26) has been modified. In any event, the serial line is initialised when the drive is
started up.
b94.1 Reset main reference offset. This command automatically sets parameter Pr1 in order
to reset any voltage offset on the main analogue reference. This procedure is only possible
if the absolute offset value is less than 200 mV.
b99.9 Current offset calibration request. The command is accepted only if the drive is
disabled. The calibration procedure is executed when the drive is started up.
b99.10 Alarm reset. This command resets Pr23 and Pr24; if the alarm persists it is shown on the
display. The command is not accepted in the presence of checksum errors (Pr23=10, 11);
in this case set default parameters (b99.12) and then reset the alarm.
If the backup power supply is present (terminals 8 and 9 on X3), when mains power is
restored to the terminals on X4 you must wait 10 seconds before transmitting the
undervoltage alarm reset command and enabling the drive.
b99.11 Operating mode parameter default values. This command sets current operating
parameters to default values. The command is executed only if b40.2 = 0.
b99.12 Default values. This command sets all parameters to default values and cancels the values
used by the operating modes; it also sets the pico-PLC program as described in appendix
G. If a checksum alarm is present, Pr23 and Pr24 are set to zero so that the alarm can be
reset. The command is executed only if b99.13 = 0.
b99.14 Save pico-PLC instructions. Saves the pico-PLC program. If an error occurs while
saving, “retry” is shown on display: in this case transmit the command again.
b99.15 Save parameters. Stores all parameters. This command is not possible in the presence of
a checksum error; in this case, set default parameters, reset the alarm and then save the
new parameterisation settings. If an error occurs while saving, “retry” is shown on display:
in this case transmit the command again.

3.5 Calibrating speed loop
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
SPEED LOOP: the main task of any drive is to control motor speed so that it follows, as faithfully
as possible, the required speed, which is generally referred to as the REFERENCE. High fidelity
reproduction of the reference implies that motor speed is identical to reference speed in static
conditions and also that it follows speed requirements closely also in the case of sudden changes in
the speed reference (dynamic conditions). To perform this task the drive must be informed of various
characteristics of the motor and the mechanical system to which the motor is coupled; this type of
information is set in the CALIBRATION PARAMETERS.
ERROR: the error refers to the difference between reference speed and motor speed. The error
value is utilised by the speed control loop to calculate (using calibration parameters) how much
current to supply to the motor.
TORQUE: current flowing through the motor windings is converted into torque which allows the
motor to accelerate and decelerate.
GAIN: in consideration of the typical applications of the HPD drive, the expression “gain” in this
section of the manual refers to “stiffness”. To understand the concept of stiffness imagine a motor
controlled by a drive with speed demand of zero rpm. The motor shaft will appear immobile but if
we apply torque to the shaft it will rotate through an angle that depends on the amount of torque
applied. We can then apply the rated torque of the motor and then measure the “stiffness angle” in
degrees. The resulting value provides an indication of the fidelity of the drive thus parametrised,
although it is clearly not the only fidelity indicator.
WHAT’S NEEDED
To calibrate an HPD drive correctly we recommend using an oscilloscope with memory.

Obviously, the technician in charge must be well versed in the use of the instrument. If it is impossible
to use an oscilloscope, we illustrate, at the end of this section of the manual, an alternative although
less accurate method.
40
BEFORE STARTING
Before starting observe figure 1.
Fig. 1
The graph shows system response to a square wave speed reference. Channel 1 (Ch1) is speed
and channel 2 (Ch2) is motor current. The channel 1 oscilloscope probe is connected to terminal 9
of X2 and channel 2 to terminal 7 of X2. The V/div scale and the timebase are not mentioned as
they may vary considerably.
CALCULATING Pr16
The value of Pr16 should be calculated before enabling the drive. Pr16 defines system gain. To
convert Pr16 into degrees for rated torque use the formula: a c = Pr 3 3 ⋅ 2 8 where ac is the stiffness
Pr 1 6
angle. Obviously, before the formula can be used Pr33 must be set to motor rated current. To
evaluate ac correctly we shall consider that, if the driven machine transmission is rigid (not flexible)
and there is no transmission backlash, the optimal stiffness angle could be around 4 degrees. If the
transmission is not sufficiently rigid it may be necessary to reduce gain. If motor torque has been
selected to achieve steep acceleration ramps, while dynamic torque changes in normal operation are
minimal, stiffness angles of 20, 30 or 40 degrees are acceptable without negatively affecting
performance. If you encounter difficulty in choosing the most appropriate stiffness angle, start from
10 degrees, which is the default value when using a motor with the same rated current as the drive.
Now enter the calculated value for Pr16 and start the motor with a square wave reference signal
(pay attention when setting the reference amplitude and frequency to avoid problems in the case of
limited stroke axes). On the oscilloscope note that the response changes as Pr17 is altered.
Lowering Pr17 will allow you to approach system response as shown in figure 2.
41
Fig.2
For higher values of Pr17 system response will resemble the situation of figure 3 below.
Fig.3
The optimal value of Pr17 can be considered when system response is as shown in figure 4.
42
Fig.4
We must therefore obtain approximately 10% overshoot. Make sure that the overshoot is not
followed immediately by undershoot.
Once you have set the optimal value for Pr17 pay attention to the movement of the motor shaft: if
it moves smoothly without vibration and noise, you can deduce that system calibration procedures
are terminated. Otherwise repeat all the previous steps using lower values for Pr16.
In certain applications you can reduce system acoustic noise levels by raising parameter Pr18 by
a few points. Fig.5 shows that the optimal system response is accompanied by a current fluctuation
that can generate acoustic noise and mechanical vibration; increasing Pr18 to the value 3 will improve
this condition significantly (fig. 6).
Fig.5
43
Fig.6
If the driven mechanical system is prone to oscillation, we recommend using very low values for
Pr16; in this configuration the HPD drive will smooth out motor torque requests to prevent the
creation of mechanical oscillation. Figure 7 shows this type of configuration.
Fig.7
44
CALIBRATION WITHOUT INSTRUMENTS
If an oscilloscope is not available, proceed as follows:
A) Calculate the value of Pr16 as described earlier.

B) Calculate Pr17 using the following formula:
135.41 ⋅ Pr16 ⋅ J tot

Pr17 = 1488 ⋅
Nm peak
where: Jtot is total inertia (motor + load) in kgm2
Nmpeak is available torque with peak current of the system
C) Start the drive and, moving the axis with an external control change Pr17 to seek the value at
which the axis moves as required.
D) Calculate Pr18 using the following formula:
Pr 17
Pr 18 = 017
. ⋅ ≥1
Pr 16
If the resulting calibration is unsatisfactory, repeat the procedure with lower values for Pr16.
45
3.6 Operating modes
Operating modes are selected by means of parameter Pr31, whose default value is 0. Each
operating mode commands a speed loop by means of parameter Pr6 and can limit motor torque with
parameter Pr21 (see block diagrams). Speed control uses Pr7 or Pr6 as a reference depending on
the value of b40.2. Before changing Pr31, b40.2 must be set to 0 to prevent undesired motor
movement; it is now possible to set Pr31 to the value of the chosen operating mode and load default
parameters by means of parameter b99.11. The operating mode will be enabled by setting b40.2 to
1.
3.6.1 Torque control
This operating mode (1) does not perform “classic” torque control because the speed loop
remains active to monitor limit speed; the torque reference is the main reference Pr7. To set torque
control first program the speed loop to create a stable system. Now set Pr2=1000 (10 V = 100.0 %
torque) b40.0=0 & b40.12=0; b40.2=1 to program the reserved reference, Pr31=1 to enable the
operating mode and Pr50 for maximum speed.
PARAMETERS FOR OPERATING MODE 1
Pr50 Maximum speed. Unit=rpm, default=3000, range=0..9000. This parameter makes it

possible to limit maximum absolute motor speed during torque control operation.
3.6.2 Acceleration control
Instead of performing closed loop acceleration control, this mode (2) uses main reference Pr7 for
dynamic modulation of the ramps. To program analogue acceleration control the first requirement is
a stable speed loop. When this is present set Pr2=ACC / 3.2 where ACC is acceleration in rad/s2
required with a 10V reference signal, b40.0 = 0, b40.12 = 0, b40.2 = 1 and Pr31 = 2. Maximum
speed must be programmed in Pr50.

3.6.3 Maintenance and commissioning
This operating mode is designed to assist technical personnel during commissioning.

Mode 8 provides various tests to check drive wiring. It’s also possible to move the move the
shaft manually by means of Pr50, b70.1 and b70.2 or using the internal profile generator, which
simplifies speed control loop set-up and ensures that there is no overrun on the programmed
movement. Programming parameters for generating internal profiles are: speed, motor revolutions,
starting position and interval, in seconds, between forward and reverse movement.
To perform the wiring test the motor must be disconnected from all loads, including inertia loads;
disable the drive via software (b40.9=0), Pr30 must be zero, enable the drive via hardware and set
b70.3=1. The drive will now execute the test routine. When terminated (b70.3=0), the error code in
Pr56 can be displayed after setting Pr57=0.
Error codes:
0 no error
1 b40.9=1 or drive disabled via hardware
2 motor phase sequence and resolver direction incompatible
3 number of motor poles and Pr29 incompatible
4 resolver phase error
5 Pr30 value not zero
99 procedure aborted
By setting the various values in Pr57 you can get other useful information for installation and
maintenance (see table in block diagrams).

executed using b70.1 , b70.2 with b70.0=0 and b40.2=1.
Pr51 Profile execution speed. Unit=rpm, default=1000. This is the speed at which the
trapezoidal profile is executed.
Pr52 Distance. Unit=revolutions, default=30. This is the number of revolutions of the motor
shaft that must be performed during generation of the profile.
Pr53 Starting point. Default=1. If set to 1, at start profile (b70.0) the motor will start rotating
and execute Pr52 revolutions with positive speed. If set to 2 the motor will start rotating

execute Pr52 revolutions at negative speed.
Pr54 Pause. Unit= tenths of a second, default=1. During execution of the profile the drive stops
between positive speed movement and negative speed movement for an interval of Pr54 at
zero rpm.

3.6.4 Positioner
Operating mode 9 executes a simple trapezoidal profile. For this profile the user must define
acceleration with Pr51, steady time rpm with Pr52 and displacement using the pair of long format
parameters Pr64 and Pr65. At each profile execution command, b70.8, the motor executes Pr64:65
steps (one motor revolution is equivalent to 4096 steps). The parameters of a trapezoidal profile
cannot be changed during execution (b70.7=1), except Pr64:65. In the block diagram note the four
different reset types, the availability of servo-error indication and the possibility of using space
control with or without feed forward. The incremental position must be always positive and
movement direction must be selected with parameter b70.1. Displacement can be defined using the
drive frequency input. Additional features are available using the internal PLC.
Note that the profile execution command is not generated on a constant time base (profile
calculation may require more than 2 milliseconds).
Pr50 Pulse input multiplication factor K. Default=1. If b70.9=1 frequency/direction input

pulses are multiplied by Pr50 and the result is added to Pr64:65. The frequency input

3.6.5 Digital locking
Operating mode 10 is a tracking function referred to a frequency input signal (connector X6) set
as an encoder signal with b42.5=1; the encoder signal is counted on all A and B signal switching
fronts. The motor position counter increases by 4096 steps each revolution. The ratio between
master and slave can be entered using parameters Pr51 and Pr53. You can also select the ramp to
utilise during catch or release cycles (Pr52), add slip speed (Pr58) and limit speed demands of the
proportional part of the loop (Pr50). Further information available: master and slave locked and
servo-error. Using Pr52, the main ramps and the internal PLC makes it possible to program various
49
different catch and release modes with or without phase recuperation. Refer to Frequency input
connection chapter for connection diagrams.
Pr50 Maximum speed. Unit=rpm, default=200, range =0..9000. This parameter makes it
possible to limit maximum speed of the motor; it can be used to limit speed during a catch
on fly cycle or during sudden speed changes (see Pr58).
Pr51 Reference multiplication factor. Default=1, range =-32000..+32000. This parameter,
together with Pr53, makes it possible to set the required ratio for the input reference
frequency.
Pr52 Acceleration/deceleration ramp. Unit=s/krpm, default=500, range=0..30000,
resolution=1 thousandth of a second. The acceleration/deceleration demanded of the motor
can be restricted so that a speed decrease or increase of 1000 rpm takes Pr52 thousandths
of a second; this function is useful during catch on fly cycles.
Pr53 Reference division factor. Default=1, range=-32000..+32000. This parameter together

3.6.6 Stepper motor emulation
This mode emulates the operation of a stepper motor: each pulse received on the frequency input
(terminal board X6 channel A=frequency, channel B=direction) is multiplied by Pr51 and the result is
added to the reference position. The frequency input must be programmed as a direction/sign signal
by setting b42.5=0. Just as in all other operating modes it is possible to enable feed forward, limit the
action of the proportional part, obtain servo-error indication and select the most suitable type of
reset. Note that the frequency count occurs on the negative front of the signal and changes of the
direction signal must be made at least 1 µS before the negative frequency front. Unlike stepper
motors, in this case there is no risk of step loss. Refer to Frequency input connection chapter for
the connection diagrams.

3.8 Digital input and output programming
3.8.1 Pico-PLC
The internal pico-PLC makes it possible to connect peripheral systems (inputs/outputs) to the
parametric system of the HPD drive. The PLC can be used to copy a digital input into a bit
parameter, copy a bit parameter into a digital output and perform mathematical and boolean
calculations. The PLC program must be entered as a list of instructions from the keypad; alternatively
the PLC can be programmed with the ladder diagram system using a PC on the serial line with an
interface such as Pcbrush. Default parameterisation (b99.12) provides a PLC program (see
appendix G) designed to fill the requirements of the broadest possible range of applications,
therefore it is not necessary to reprogram the PLC in the majority of cases.
Main features of the PLC:
Program steps 64
scan time 6.144 ms
timers 2
instructions 15
stack depth 1
mathematic operations 16 / 32 bits
fast inputs (fast copy) 3 - (512 µ s)
PLC PARAMETERS
Pr71 Constant value = -1. Double word.

Pr72 Constant value = 0. Double word.
Pr80 Free parameter. Parameter with save facility at user’s disposal (word).
b90.X Digital input X status . If X is greater than 7, parameter with save facility at user’s
disposal (b90.0 = drive enable).
b91.Y Digital input Y status. If Y is greater than 7, parameter with save facility at user’s
disposal. Parameter Pb91 is not saved at power up and is definitely at zero.
59
Pr92 First PLC timer. Every 6.144 ms if Pr92 is not at 0 the timer is decreased, if set to zero
b99.0 is set at 1.
Pr93 Second PLC timer. Every 6.144 ms if Pr93 is not at 0 the timer is decreased, if set to
zero b99.1 is set to 1.
b94.0 Forces a double word formatted operation. When the drive is powered up this
parameter is on zero. If it is on one, the first mathematical operation of the pico-PLC is
executed setting the three operands as double word type; after the operation is executed
b94.0 is automatically set to zero.
If Pr60..Pr68 are utilised, double word formatting is automatic (see text).
b94.5 Disables the first fast input (b94.5=0). Set to zero at power-up.
b94.6 Disables the second fast input (b94.6=0). Set to zero at power-up.
b94.7 Disables the third fast input (b94.7=0). Set to zero at power-up.
b99.0 First timer status. At 1 if Pr92 = 0
b99.1 Second timer status. At 1 if Pr93 = 0
b99.2 At 1 if the result of the last PLC operation is negative.
b99.3 At 1 if the result of the last PLC operation is zero.
b99.13 PLC status. Default=1. If set to 1 the PLC program is executed, if on zero the program is
not executed and modification of PLC instructions is enabled.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The pico-PLC program is scanned every 6.144 msec; at each sampling first the inputs are read,
then the two timers are updated (Pr92 Pr93 b99.0 and b99.1), the user program is scanned, and
finally the outputs are updated. Therefore, reading of the inputs and output updates can deviate
temporally by up to 6.144 ms with respect to the physical event.
All pico-PLC instructions with the exception of mathematical instructions, operate on single bits;
moreover, available stack depth is a single bit.
Instruction LD (LDN) loads the bit defined as operand into the stack, while all other logical
instructions operate on the stack. Mathematical operations are executed only if the stack bit is at 1.
The following logic operations truth tables are provided for the user’s convenience:
logical AND operations logical OR operations

bit A bit B result bit A bit B result
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 1 1
1 0 0 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 1
The relative inverted ANDN and ORN operations follow the same logic, except they use the
inverted value of the specified bit.
There are 8 bits with save facility from b90.8 to b90.15 reserved for the PLC; a further 8 bits
from b91.8 to b91.15 are available for the PLC; these are not stored and are always at zero at drive
power-up.
Also 10 word parameters are reserved, specifically from Pr80 to Pr89 with save facility and
option for use as 5 double word parameters. For mathematical operations the pico-PLC has 9
constants available, from Pr71 to Pr79 selected from those that are most frequently utilised in
standard applications.
When using mathematical instructions (ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV) note that operators are assumed
as words with their relative signs. If a double word operation is necessary, parameter b94.0 must be
set to 1 before the operation; after the operation the PLC will automatically set the bit to zero.
Parameters Pr60...Pr69 are considered as double words so an operation like [ADD 71 72 64] will
write the result -1 in the double word Pr64:65 without having to set b94.0=1 before the operation. If
Pr80=-1 and Pr81=0, the operation [ADD 80 72 64] will have the result Pr64:65=-1, while the
same operation performed with b94.0=1 will assume Pr81 as the high part of the double word
Pr80:81 so the result will be Pr64:65=65535. In the first case, therefore, operands other than
Pr60...Pr69 will be treated as words, while in the second case they will be treated as double words.
Note that in mathematical operations on double words, operands and results are defined as
follows: the operand parameter defines the least significant part while the most significant part is
represented by the word with the next serial address (see chapter Serial addresses and parameter
lengths). Parameters from Pr50 to Pr69 and from Pr80 to Pr89 are successive.
At the completion of each mathematical operation b99.2 is set to 0 if the result is positive, and to
1 if the result is negative; likewise, b99.3=0 if the result is zero and b99.3=1 if it is different from
zero. These settings remain valid until the next mathematical operation is performed (the operation is
executed only if the stack bit is equal to one). A mathematical operation can be performed, setting
the result in one of the constant parameters (Pr71...Pr79) in order to set bits b99.2 and b99.3.
In the case of the DIV operation, if it is executed on a double word the most significant part of the
result contains the rest of the division, i.e. if you set b94.0=1 and perform [DIV 79 77 80] the result
will be Pr80=4 and Pr81=96.
61
Note that parameters Pr23, Pr24, Pr25, Pr26, Pr27, Pr29, Pr31 and Pr34 are bytes like Pb42
and Pb94; therefore, these parameters cannot be used for mathematical operations; logical
operations must be used to alter their values.
FIN instruction. Three instructions are provided for high speed input acquisition: in this case the
scan is executed at 512µs (normal scanning is 6.144ms). If used, FIN instructions must be the first
PLC instructions. The first FIN instruction copies digital input 1 into bit y of parameter Pb40 (second
operand=0) or Pb70 (second operand =1). The second FIN instruction copies digital input 2 into bit
y of parameter Pb40 (second operand=0) or Pb70 (second operand=1). The third FIN instruction
copies digital input 3 into bit y of parameter Pb40 (second operand=0) or Pb70 (second
operand=1). If the second operand is added to value 2, before the input is copied it will be inverted.
If a FIN instruction is included at any other position in the program it will have no effect. FIN
instructions can be enabled/disabled for each FIN: 1st FIN enabled if b94.5=0; 2nd FIN enabled if
b94.6=0; 3rd FIN enabled if b94.7=0.
A FIN instruction in the PLC program after the first three instructions or after any other type of
instruction will always be ignored.
There are two timers Pr92 and Pr93 at the disposal of the user. To use the first timer simply load
the time in terms of number of samplings (6.144 ms) in parameter Pr92: for example Pr92=100 is
equivalent to 614 milliseconds. Pr92 automatically decreases through time, bit b99.0 remains on zero
until the timer interval has elapsed; when Pr92=0 then b99.0=1. The same functionality applies to the
second timer regarding parameter Pr93 and bit b99.1. Ensure that Pr92 Pr93 b99.0 and b99.1 are
refreshed only after the first pico-PLC program scan.
The maximum number of instructions is 64 including the END instruction. Note that mathematical
operations occupy the space of two logical operations so when they are used the maximum number
of instructions available is decreased accordingly.
The PLC program must always be terminated with an END instruction.
The pico-PLC program can be edited on a PC (see Programming with Pcbrush) or directly
from the keypad. In this latter case, to facilitate procedures, when you need to delete an instruction,
select it and then press [M] to display the type of instruction; now keep [M] pressed and
simultaneously press [-]; when both keys are released the instruction will be deleted. On the
contrary, in order to add an instruction after In06 for example, select the next instruction In07, press
[M] to display the type of instruction; now keep [M] pressed and press [+] simultaneously; when
both keys are released an FIN instruction will be inserted. In this latter procedure make sure that the
instructions in the program are no more than the maximum number or you will lose the last one(s).
The pico-PLC program can be edited or altered only when the PLC is in stop status (b99.13=0).

3.8.2 Examples and applications
The following examples illustrate possible functionalities obtained by suitable programming of the
HPD pico-PLC. The suggested solutions offer the possibility of reducing the components required to
build the machine or part of the machine while, in many cases, also cutting the overall cost of the
application. Note that the pico-PLC scanning time is 6.144 msec and the maximum number of
instructions is 64; moreover, the PLC is designed principally to manage the drive’s digital inputs and
outputs.
In addition to a concise description of the application, the examples show the settings required for
HPD parameters and the pico-PLC program. The program is shown in ladder diagrams and
instruction listings.

Example 7: homing
If you are using an operating mode with spatial control (9, 10 or 11) and you need to align the
motor with a zero position defined by a proximity sensor when the system is powered up. You can
use two digital inputs, one for the homing command and one to acquire the proximity sensor signal.
The commands are pulse type and the homing command is executed once only.
After setting the default values set up the required operating mode (Pr31=xx, b99.11=1,
b40.2=1, and any other settings required) and then set the homing speed for the zero proximity
sensor in Pr5 and set b40.12=1 to enable Pr5 when b40.2 reaches zero.
Terminal 13 on X3 = pulse command - execute homing.
Terminal 14 on X3 = PNP axis zero proximity sensor.
Bit b91.10 is utilised to signal that the operation is terminated. Note that bits from b91.8 to b91.15
are at the disposal of the PLC and cannot be stored in the memory.
The program is as follows:
90.2 91.10 40.2 LD 90.2 If homing command not

RST ANDN 91.10 executed, disables operating
RST 40.2 mode
91.10 40.2
SET LD 91.10 If homing command executed,

SET 40.2 re-enables operating mode
90.3 91.10 70.10
SET LD 90.3 if proximity switch operated

ANDN 91.10 resets operating mode counters
91.10 SET 70.10 sets homing executed flag
SET SET 91.10
In certain cases a more precise axis zero reference is required; this is achieved using, in addition
to the proximity sensor on the machine, also the motor position transducer. In this setup the proximity
sensor signal is correlated with the first zero on the motor position transducer.
The following example provides this functionality using operating mode (9) (trapezoidal profile).
65
After setting default values, set up operating mode 9 (Pr31=9, b99.11=1, b40.2=0, b40.12=1,
and any other settings required) and then enter the zero proximity sensor homing speed in Pr5.
Terminal 13 on X3 = homing pulse command.
Terminal 14 on X3 = PNP type axis zero proximity sensor.
Terminal 11 on X2 = digital output. Switches to 1 when the homing phase is terminated.
The following bits are utilised b91.8, b91.9, b91.11.

Example 8: execution of modulus in digital locking
(FILE: E001.HPD)
To obtain the following functionality: with reference to the figure assume you have a conveyor
transporting product and a blade roller driven by the HPD drive. At start up on an external command
the blade roller is aligned with a zero reference (proximity sensor). On receipt of the next pulse
command, which is generated by a product detection sensor, the blade roller drive locks onto the
conveyor master so that the product is always cut at precisely the same length; when the cut is
terminated the blade roller reassumes the starting position awaiting the next cutting command.
In this case the program permits the homing procedure (see chapter 1) and then, on receipt of the
command from the product sensor, it assumes digital locked mode and covers a space equal to the
value of Pr87:86; when it reaches this distance the drive unlocks and ramps down to the standby
position defined by parameter Pr89:88 = modulus. Note that one motor shaft revolution corresponds
to 4096 steps so the modulus value to set is equal to the number of steps required by the motor shaft
to execute a full revolution of the blade roller. The value of Pr87:86 must be less than the value of the
modulus (=Pr89:88).
The master encoder mounted to the conveyor shaft provides the drive with a position reference
during the digital locking phase.

When you have set the default values set the following parameters: Pr5=10 (homing speed),
Pr31=10, b99.11=1, b40.2=1, b40.12=1, Pr52=0, b70.3=1, Pr87:86=modulus - ramp,
Pr89:88=modulus in which the ramp is expressed in steps, i.e. it is the space that the axis must cover
during ramp down. Pay attention when programming Pr89:88 and Pr87:86 because these
parameters are utilised as double word format by the PLC but they must be set up as two pairs of
single whole words from the keypad. For example, if the modulus is 40960 steps, Pr89 must be set
to 0 and Pr88 must be set to 24576.
Terminal 13 on X3 = homing pulse command
Terminal 14 on X3 = NPN type axis zero proximity sensor
Terminal 12 on X3 = pulse command - digital locking engage sensor.
Terminal 12 on X2 = exit - high during modulus execution; if a digital lock command is transmitted
during execution of the modulus it will be ignored.
The delay before digital locking varies by up to 2.048 msec max.
The following auxiliary parameters are utilised: Pr83, Pr84, Pr85, b91.10, b91.12.
It is assumed that parameter Pr34 is not used. The program is as follows:

Example 9: movement with digital locking and return to origin
(FILE: E002.HPD)
To obtain the following functionality: with reference to the figure below assume there is a
conveyor transporting product and a carriage running parallel to the conveyor and controlled by an
HPD drive. On receipt of an external start command the carriage is aligned on a zero reference
position (proximity sensor). With a second pulse command, provided by a product detection sensor,
the drive locks on to the conveyor in order to perform an operation on the product at a precisely
defined position; when this operation is terminated the carriage returns to its starting position.
In this case the program makes it possible to execute homing (see chapter 1) after which, on
receipt of the manual command from the sensor, the carriage locks on and covers a distance equal to
the value of Pr87:86; when this distance is reached the drive unlocks and stops according to the
ramp programmed in parameter Pr83. The motor now automatically returns to the origin position
executing a trapezoidal profile with the ramps set in Pr80 and the speed in Pr81. Note that one
motor revolution corresponds to 4096 steps so the value to set in Pr87:86 should correspond to the
number of steps of the motor shaft needed for the carriage to execute the required translation.
The master encoder on the conveyor shaft provides the drive with the necessary position
reference during digital locking.

Example 10: Inter-Drive Communication
IDC (Inter Drive Communication) refers to a specific configuration of the serial port of the HPD
drive that makes it possible to interchange parameters between two or more units.
With IDC enabled (Pr26=10) if bit b99.5 is set to 1 the HPD activates a broadcast command by
sending the value of Pr81 to the address of Pr80. HPDs that receive broadcast commands with
Pr26=10 automatically set b99.5 to 1 causing automatic transmission of Pr81 to the address of Pr80
in broadcast mode. Using this potential, it is extremely simple to connect two HPD drives in a loop
via the serial ports, and a short program on the internal PLC will suffice to start transmission at
power-on and restore it in the event of communication errors. The following example describes the
PLC program required to copy Pr81 from the two drives in parameters Pr80.

These PLC instructions must be entered on only one of the drives; both drives must have

Example 11: automatic undervoltage alarm reset
In applications in which the auxiliary backup power supply is utilised it may be necessary to reset
the undervoltage alarm automatically after power has been lost and restored. Simply set the following
instructions in the PLC program:

SET ANDN 24.3 timer expired
AND 99.0 reset alarms
SET 99.10
Only the undervoltage alarm (Pr24=2) is reset automatically; the nominal DC bus voltage -10%
must be set in parameter Pr80 (for 380V~ power supplies Pr80=500); timer 1 must not be utilised in
any other section of the pico-PLC program.

Example 12: 5 positioning with teach-in

To obtain the following functionality: with reference to the figure, assume you need to acquire 5
different machine positions and then execute them automatically.

CARRIAGE
POSITIONS: 0 1 2 3 4 5
This can be achieved using a smart keypad module (see appendix L, SBC1 program) connected
on the serial communications line with the drive and with the internal PLC. When the machine is
powered up the drive will stand by to receive the homing exec command and the keypad will show
the message “axis zero (F4)”. By pressing [F4] or sending a pulse command to digital input 2 of the
drive, the motor shaft will turn at the speed established by parameter Pr5 until the intervention of the
proximity sensor at digital input 3. The keypad display will now present the message “automatic
dimension 1”; digital inputs 4, 5 and 6 select the position to be reached, while a pulse supplied to
digital input 1 provides a trapezoidal profile to reach the selected position. The following table shows
the relationship between parameters Pr80...Pr89 and the encoding of the 3 digital inputs; for
example, input 4 on one selects position 1 and the distance in steps between the zero axis point and
position 1 is set in Pr81:80, bearing in mind that one revolution of the motor shaft is equivalent to
4096 steps.

1 0 1 5 Pr89:88
other combinations 0 axis zero
If you want to set the dimension from the keypad, press [F3] and the display will show the
message “dimension xx yyyy“ where xx defines the dimension in question and yyyy determines the
relative value. The [+] and [-] keys are used to modify the value yyyy while [F3] changes the value
xx.
If you wish to acquire the required position by moving the carriage, press [F1]: the display will
show the message “manual dimension xx “; [F1] selects the xx dimension to be programmed while
73
[+] and [-] are used to move the carriage. The [+] key provides the motor start/stop in the positive
direction, while [-] provides the start/stop in a negative direction; the translation speed in this case
must be set in parameter Pr4. Once the required position has been reached, press [C] to confirm the
dimension. Press [F2] to set automatic mode.
To store the parameters you have programmed press [S].
After having set the default values, set the following parameters on the HPD drive:

(*) The version with code Pr26=4 differs from Pr26=5 because of the 25 ms response delay. This
version was developed to interface with PLCs that require this characteristic.
(**) The version with code Pr26=10 was developed to allow data communication between two
HPD drives.
Refer to the heading Serial line connection for connection diagrams.
4.1 Communication protocol
The right hand column in the table shows the time-out value in milliseconds for each
communication speed; this is the time, starting from the beginning of each message (STX) within
which the transmission of the message must terminate. Therefore, if the message is interrupted, after
the time-out the drive will ignore the information already received and stand by to receive a new
message.
Messages are made up of several consecutive data in the following format:
1 start bit
8 data bits following one byte between square brackets
1 parity bit (even)
1 stop bit
The message structure is:
[STX] [CMD+ADDR] [LUN] [PAR] [D0] ... [Dn] [CHK]
where:
80
[STX] = $7E transmission start indicator. If a field other than STX should assume the value $7E in
the message, this field is followed by a ($00) to ensure that it cannot be interpreted as an [STX].
[CMD+ADDR] = command and address of peripheral device, always different to zero. This datum
is composed as follows: the first 5 bits (from 0 to 4) define the drive address (from 0 to 31); the
remaining 3 bits (from 5 to 7) define the type of message, as described in the following table:
CMD bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 message type

1 0 0 1 drive response
2 0 1 0 read PLC instruction
3 0 1 1 write PLC instruction
4 1 0 0 read parameter
5 1 0 1 write parameter
6 1 1 0 bit change
7 1 1 1 broadcast parameters to all drives
[LUN] = total number of bytes transmitted (parameter or PLC instruction); can assume values from
1 to 4. This value must not hold zero characters ($00) after values that coincide with the initial
transmission character ($7E).
[PAR] = parameter or PLC instruction read/write address
[D0] ... [Dn] = datum transmitted.
[CHK] = 256 modulus sum of all fields except [STX] (checksum).
Message types
[CMD1] = drive response to data request, format:

[STX] [001+ADDR] [LUN] [PAR] [D0] ... [Dn] [CHK]
or confirm message in response to data entry or update, format:
[STX] [001+ADDR]
where ADDR identifies the answering drive.
[CMD2] = read message of PLC area instruction; format:

[STX] [010+ADDR] [LUN] [PAR] [CHK]
[CMD3] = write message of PLC area instruction; format:

[CMD4] = parameter read message; format:

[STX] [100+ADDR] [LUN] [PAR] [CHK]
[CMD5] = parameter write message; format:

[CMD6] = byte parameter bit change message; format:

[STX] [110+ADDR] [LUN] [PAR] [D0] [D1] [CHK]
In this case (LUN=2) two bytes are transmitted for the data: the first byte is the mask containing
0 in the positions of the bits to change and 1 in the other positions; the second byte contains 1 in bit
positions to be set to 1 and 0 in the other positions. The address PAR corresponds to the parameter
81
(byte) in which one or more bits is to be modified. If the parameter is a word and the bit to be
modified is among the first 8 (b0...b7): PAR = parameter address; otherwise if the bit to modify is
one of the upper 8 (b8...b15): PAR = parameter address + 1.
[CMD7] = parameter write broadcast message to all drives connected to the serial line; format:
[STX] [11100000] [LUN] [PAR] [D0] ... [Dn] [CHK]
The address of peripheral device (ADDR) must be zero.
Notes:
- Parameters shown on the display with decimals must be treated as integer values, e.g. 978.5 will
be read, and written, as 9785.
- All values preceded by the symbol $ are hexadecimal numbers.
- The value in square brackets is the basic unit (byte) of the message.
- To be considered valid all messages must be terminated within a clearly defined time interval
(time-out) which is a function of speed, and they must have correct parity and checksum.
- The drive responds to data requests or transmission only if the message is received correctly; if
the message contains an error, no answer will be transmitted. The only exception is message type
7, with which a datum is transmitted with a single message addressed to all drives connected to
the serial line.
Serial line initialisation and management
Drive serial communication can be enabled or disabled by means of bit b40.14.

The drive is factory set with b40.14=0, i.e. serial line disabled (default).
If you want to use the serial line first set the baud-rate in Pr.26; now set the serial address in
Pr.27; finally, enable serial communication by setting b40.14=1 and initialise using b42.3. At this
point you must save the configuration using command b99.15.
For parameter addresses and lengths refer to the relative table.

In the case of PLC instructions, each one occupies 2 or 4 bytes, the format of which is described
below.
Instruction code length (bytes)
LD Pa.y 0 2
LDN Pa.y 1 2
OUT Pa.y 2 2
OUTN Pa.y 3 2
AND Pa.y 4 2
ANDN Pa.y 5 2
OR Pa.y 6 2
ORN Pa.y 7 2
ADD Pa, Pb, Pc 8 4
SUB Pa, Pb, Pc 9 4
MUL Pa, Pb, Pc 10 4
DIV Pa, Pb, Pc 11 4
SET Pa.y 12 2
RES Pa.y 13 2
FIN Pb40.y/Pb70.y 14 2
END 15 2
82
The memory area available for PLC instructions is 128 bytes, with addresses from 0h to 7Fh.
As the minimum length for each instruction is 2 bytes, the PLC program can hold a maximum of
64 instructions.
The first four bits of the first byte in each instruction (b0..b3) contain the instruction code.
For the first 8 instructions in the table (LD...ORN) and the SET and RES instructions, the
remaining 4 bits of the first byte (b4..b7) contain the value y, while the second byte contains the
value Pa.
For instructions ADD, SUB, MUL and DIV, the second byte contains the value Pa, the third Pb,
and the fourth Pc.
The second byte is not utilised for the END instruction.
For the FIN instruction the fifth bit (b4) of the first byte selects the parameter: b4=0 refers to
Pr.40, b4=1 refers to Pr.70; the sixth bit (b5) of the first byte is used for negative logic if required:
b5=0 the bit is copied; b5=1 the bit is inverted and then copied. The second byte of the FIN
instruction contains the value of y.
If FIN instructions are used they must be the first of the program and there must be no more than
3 so they will occupy addresses from 0h to 5h. If a FIN instruction is included from address 6h
forward or, anyway, after any other instruction, it will be ignored (NOP).
The instructions must be one after the other starting from address 0h, without any free bytes.
There is just one program and it terminates with the END instruction.
Serial line application examples
For a better understanding of how to implement the serial line communication protocol, we have
provided a few examples for each type of message.
The values are entered simply by way of example.
Case 1: reading a 1 byte parameter

Assume you want to read the value of parameter Pr.31 (operating mode), and that the value of this
parameter is 9; assume the drive serial address is 0. The message to transmit is:
[$7E][$80][$01][$54][$D5]
The drive answers with the message:
[$7E][$20][$01][$54][$09][$7E][$00]
Case 2: reading a 2 byte parameter

Assume you wish to read the reference speed (Pr.7) and that the relative value is 2000; assume also
that the drive serial address is 1. The message to transmit is:
[$7E][$81][$02][$42][$C5]
The drive answers with:
[$7E][$21][$02][$42][$D0][$07][$3C]
Case 3: writing a 1 byte parameter

Assume you want to select operating mode 1 (Pr.31); assume also that the drive serial address is 3.
The message to transmit is:
[$7E][$A3][$01][$54][$01][$F9]
[$7E][$23]
83
Case 4: writing a 2 byte parameter

Assume you intend to set rated current at 25.3% (Pr.33); assume also that the drive serial address is
3. The message to transmit is:
[$7E][$A3][$02][$C6][$FD][$00][$68]
[$7E][$23]
Case 5: setting a bit to 1

Assume you want to enter the command to save the PLC program (b99.14=1); assume also that the
drive serial address is 0. The message to transmit is:
[$7E][$C0][$02][$93][$BF][$40][$54]
[$7E][$20]
Case 6: setting a bit to 0

Assume you want to disable the drive by software (b40.9=0); assume that drive serial address is 0.
[$7E][$C0][$02][$5D][$FD][$00][$1C]
[$7E][$20]
Case 7: writing a PLC instruction

Assume you want to set the first PLC instruction as: LD 90.4; assume the drive serial address is 0.
[$7E][$60][$02][$00][$40][$5A][$FC]
[$7E][$20]
Case 8: reading the first PLC instructions

Assume you want to read the first instructions of the PLC default program; assume the serial address
of the drive is 0. The message to transmit is:
[$7E][$40][$04][$00][$44]
The drive answers with the message:
[$7E][$20][$04][$00][$10][$5A][$A7][$5A][$8F]
which corresponds to the acquisition of the following instructions: LD 90.1, ORN 90.10.
