Parameters can be used for mechanical adjustment according to applications, useful for the startup and adjustment work
of the system.
Setting and adjusting multiple devices including
controllers were required for dancer control, and it
took much time to start up the system.
• Complex position control of the dancer roll can be achieved by the inverter alone by setting parameters.
•
By setting mechanical specifications, optimum control can be performed according to the system and the application.
• Analog/pulse signal input method is selectable at the discretion of the customer. Input via communication is also
available.
• PID control enables and simplifies complex control using only the inverter.
• Automatic tension PI gain adjustment enables easy startup. (Tension PI gain tuning)
Before Before
After
There was a worry about the compatibility with the
existing system.
Perform setting according to the motor
type and the control method.
The following procedure shows the parameter setting example for the dancer feedback speed control.
Set the value for each parameter according to the control method and the motor type.
(Speed control gain adjustment or offline auto tuning is required according to the control method.)
Basic parameter setting and control method selection
Set the mechanical specifications accord-
ing to application.
*1: For the control method, vector control is recommended. *2: Setting is required for a motor other than a Mitsubishi motor (the SF-PR, SF-JR,
SF-HR, SF-JRCA, SF-HRCA, or SF-V5RU (1500 r/min series) motor).
Mechanical specifications setting
By calculating the winding diameter of the
winding/unwinding shaft, the tension is
always optimized even if it changes along
with the winding diameter change.
Control accuracy improvement by
the winding diameter calculation
The PI gain is automatically adjusted by
tension PI gain tuning. The time required for
gain adjustment can be reduced.

Parameters can be used for mechanical adjustment according to applications, useful for the startup and adjustment work
of the system.
Setting and adjusting multiple devices including
controllers were required for dancer control, and it
took much time to start up the system.
• Complex position control of the dancer roll can be achieved by the inverter alone by setting parameters.
•
By setting mechanical specifications, optimum control can be performed according to the system and the application.
• Analog/pulse signal input method is selectable at the discretion of the customer. Input via communication is also
available.
• PID control enables and simplifies complex control using only the inverter.
• Automatic tension PI gain adjustment enables easy startup. (Tension PI gain tuning)
Before Before
After
There was a worry about the compatibility with the
existing system.
Perform setting according to the motor
type and the control method.
The following procedure shows the parameter setting example for the dancer feedback speed control.
Set the value for each parameter according to the control method and the motor type.
(Speed control gain adjustment or offline auto tuning is required according to the control method.)
Basic parameter setting and control method selection
Set the mechanical specifications accord-
ing to application.
*1: For the control method, vector control is recommended. *2: Setting is required for a motor other than a Mitsubishi motor (the SF-PR, SF-JR,
SF-HR, SF-JRCA, SF-HRCA, or SF-V5RU (1500 r/min series) motor).
Mechanical specifications setting
By calculating the winding diameter of the
winding/unwinding shaft, the tension is
always optimized even if it changes along
with the winding diameter change.
Control accuracy improvement by
the winding diameter calculation
The PI gain is automatically adjusted by
tension PI gain tuning. The time required for
gain adjustment can be reduced.
PI gain automatic adjustment
Set the target position, upper limit, and
lower limit values for the dancer roll.
Dancer roll target position setting
The line speed command input method can be selected from the following: analog input
through a terminal (2, 4, 1, 6, etc.), single-phase pulse train input, encoder pulse input, and
input via communication (CC-Link IE Field Network communication, DeviceNet™,
PROFIBUS-DPV0, etc.).

provided as standard. The connection
with a personal computer can be estab-
lished easily without using a converter.
• System setting
Automatic recognition of connected
inverters can also be set. The station
number, model, capacity, and any
plug-in options of the connected invert-
ers can also be set manually.
• Parameter list
Parameters for selected station num-
bers can be displayed and changed.
I/O signals can be assigned using
settings by function.
• Graph function
Inverter data can be sampled and
displayed in a graphical format. Trace
data can also be read and displayed in
a graph.
Importing trace data or parameter set-
tings that have been copied in a USB
memory device to FR Configurator2
enables analysis or adjustment at a
remote place.
Connected inverters are displayed in
a tree view. Windows of each function
can be switched using tabs, facilitating
operations.
FR Configurator2 (to be supported soon)
Control the machines as you desire
Inverter control such as inverter operations triggered by input signals, signal output based on inverter operation status, and
monitor output can be freely customized based on the machine specifications. Control programs can be created in
sequence ladders using the inverter setup software (FR Configurator2) (to be supported soon). Also, the sample ladders will
be available for downloading from the Mitsubishi Electric FA Global Website.
PLC function
The control function is used for raising accuracy of the tension control using feedback from the tension detector.
PI control is used for compensating the tension value errors arising from errors with the winding diameter or mechanical loss
(caused by the temperature change / aging degradation).
Combination of the dies can be
automatically changed using the PLC
function of the inverter by setting values
such as the gear ratio or the ratio
between the wire diameters at each
capstan and after the final die, and
calculating the rotation speed of each
capstan according to the material.

Fast-response and high-accuracy vector
control can be performed by the use in
combination with the general-purpose
FR-A800-R2R inverter, plug-in option
(FR-A8AP/A8AL), and control terminal
option (FR-A8TP).
Speed fluctuation ratio:
±0.01% (for power driving)
Fast-response / high-accuracy
vector control
By selecting vector control, constant-
torque continuous operation can be
performed in the range from 0 Hz to 60
Hz (zero speed control and servo lock
are available).
Wide range of constant-
torque characteristics
The premium efficiency motor with
encoder (compatible with IE3) meets
the Top Runner Standard in Japan and
the Energy Independence and Secu-
rity Act (EISA) in the United States.
Energy saving /
CO2 emission reduction
The motor is used in combination with
an inverter of the same capacity.
Compatibility with the inverter
• Environmental resistance was improved
due to the change from the fan cooled
type to the blower cooled type. The
IP55 compatible motor with an encoder
is now also available.
• With the wire-saving design, improved
reliability can be obtained.
• Anti-corrosive coating (type 3) is also
available.
Improved environmental
resistance
Enables a constant-torque operation in a low-speed range
* The reference torque differs from that of the SF-V5RU series motor.
