Chapter 1
Adaptive Control
A brief overview of Load Observer, Adaptive Tuning, and Autotune is provided
in this section. For detailed information about how to use each of these features,
see the PowerFlex® 755T Flux Vector Tuning Application Technique, publication
750-AT006.
Load Observer The load observer feature is a control loop inside the drive that estimates the
mechanical load on the motor and compensates for it while the drive is running.
This feature allows high performance and control loop tuning simplicity similar
to that of a mechanically disconnected motor. Its primary function is to:
• Automatically compensate for unknown inertia, compliance, and low
frequency resonance
• Automatically compensate for disturbances and changes in inertia
• Force consistent dynamic behavior, which makes the drive easier to tune
Benefits
You can use load observer with out-of-box control loop gains, where the load is
unknown or compliant and thus 10/11:901 [Load Ratio] = 0. You can also use
load observer with autotuned control loop gains where 10/11:901 [Load
Ratio] > 0. This value can be a known positive value or one that is calculated by
performing an autotune procedure.
When load observer is enabled with the recommended out-of-box control loop
gains:
• A tuning expert is not needed
• Commissioning time is reduced, especially for high drive count
• Relatively high performance control is provided without tuning
• Changes in inertia, compliance, and low frequency resonances are
compensated for automatically
• Periodic retuning to account for machine wear over time is not needed
When load observer is enabled with autotuned control loop gains:
• Load disturbances are compensated for automatically
• Tracking errors, machine vibration, and power consumption are
minimized
• Bandwidth and line speeds can be increased
• Tighter control of moving parts reduces wear and saves material costs

8Rockwell Automation Publication 750-RM100A-EN-P - August 2019
Chapter 1 Adaptive Control
Adaptive Tuning The adaptive tuning feature is an algorithm that continuously monitors and, if
necessary, adjusts filter parameters and control loop gains to compensate for
unknown and changing load conditions. Adaptive tuning performs the following
functions:
• Monitors motor-side resonances
• Automatically adjusts torque loop notch and low pass filter parameters to
suppress resonances
• Automatically tunes control loop gains to avoid instability
Benefits
When you enable adaptive tuning with the recommended out-of-box control
loop settings, you do not need a tuning expert. You also gain the following
benefits:
• Reduced commissioning time, especially for high drive count
• Automatically suppressed continuously changing resonances
• Periodic identification of resonances and retuning is not needed
• Periodic retuning of filters is not needed
• Minimized tracking errors, machine vibration, and power consumption
• Increased bandwidth and line speeds
• Tighter control of moving parts reduces wear and saves material costs
Autotune The Autotune function is used to measure motor characteristics. It is composed
of several individual tests, each of which is intended to adjust one or more motor
parameters. These tests require you to enter motor nameplate information into
the drive parameters. Although you can change some of the parameter values
manually, measured values can provide improved performance.
Autotuning is often unnecessary when you apply Load Observer with the
recommended default settings.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750-RM100A-EN-P - August 2019 9
Adaptive Control Chapter 1
Position and Velocity
Regulators
The PowerFlex 755T utilizes a series form of a Proportional-Integral (PI)
controller for the Position Regulator (PReg) and the Velocity Regulator (VReg).
The proportional and integral gains are expressed in units of Hz. The
proportional gains have been normalized by removing inertia and represent
bandwidth which is a readily understood and measureable value. Relating the
proportional gains to bandwidth makes the tuning experience more intuitive.
Figure 1 - Regulator Schemes
The recommended method for tuning the position and velocity regulators is
adjusting the System Bandwidth parameter 10/11:906 [System BW]. By
adjusting the System bandwidth, the proportional and integral gains for the
position and velocity regulators are automatically calculated, which eliminates
the need to adjust each gain individually. For more information on the Position
and Velocity regulators and how to tune them, refer to the PowerFlex 755T Flux
Vector Tuning Application Technique, publication 750-AT006.
Bus Observer The bus observer feature is available in the PowerFlex 755T regenerative and low
harmonic AFE products. Bus observer was added to compensate for unknown
capacity changes in the system demand. Enhanced DC bus voltage regulation and
repeatability of control loop performance in the presence of unknown AC line
conditions are the main goals of the bus observer, rather than command tracking,
which allows for lower gain settings. Bus observer performs the following
functions:
• Enhances the regulation of the DC bus voltage control.
• Compensates for unknown capacity changes in the system demand.
• Compensates for the external connected capacitance that is less than three
times the bus supply.
• Uses current feedback to feed forward the bus voltage regulator.
PowerFlex 755TL/TR drives use power feed forward to enhance the DC bus
regulation. The inverter load is fed forward into the converter to improve DC
bus voltage regulation.
When the bus observer is not used, higher gain settings are required for a
sufficiently robust system. Higher gain settings cause heating of the inductors and
capacitor resonance trips. The accuracy of the total bus capacitance that is
entered directly affects overall performance.

Chapter 1 Adaptive Control
Example: The bandwidth = 400 Hz with bus observer disabled. However, the
bandwidth = 150 Hz with bus observer enabled for equivalent DC bus voltage
regulation with lower inductor temperatures.
Bus Observer Limitations
• If the external capacitance is greater than three times the supply, DC bus
regulation can become unstable.
• Do not enter an external capacitance value greater than what is connected
or stability can be affected. It is recommended to use the lowest estimated
value. Bus observer can compensate for increased line capacitance, but it
cannot reduce line capacitance.
• Cannot be enabled or disabled while the converter is active (running).

Feed Forward Power Feed forward power is a drive function that you can use to improve DC bus
voltage regulation in response to changes in the load on the inverter section of the
drive.
Technical Overview
Feed forward power uses the inverter section power demand, parameters 10/11:4
[Output Power] and 13:44 [FF Power Gain], to command the converter side of
the drive. This command improves DC bus voltage regulation by letting the DC
Bus PI regulator react before the DC Bus voltage sags.
Feed forward power is not used in a PowerFlex 755TM bus supply because it does
not have the inverter control on the same control board.

Reference Notch Filters PowerFlex 755T products include two reference notch filters. There are three
instances in which these two filters share a set of common parameters. The
instances are located in the Velocity, Position, and Process PI command paths.
These reference notch filters help prevent the velocity command from
introducing a resonance into the mechanical system or sway into a crane/hoist
system.
You can use the reference notch to counter the pendulum effect that is caused by
the movement of the trolley or gantry in crane and hoist applications. See Anti-
Sway Applications on page 121 information about configuring notch filters for
crane/hoist applications.
Technical Overview
The two notch filters in the velocity reference and position reference paths can be
used to notch out command frequencies that can cause resonance or instability in
mechanical systems. The notch filters have the following restrictions:
• Available in Flux Vector control modes only.
• Cannot be used in Sensorless Vector or Volts/Hz modes.

AC Line Tuning
PowerFlex® 755T regenerative and low harmonic AFE products have parameters
that tune the converter to the AC supply. Tuning lets the converter work reliably
with a wider range of supplies. You can also configure the converter to switch
between two different supplies, which supports the use of backup generators
without having to reconfigure the system.
Technical Overview The goal of tuning the PowerFlex 755T converter is to obtain a robust bus supply
that provides protection against under voltage and over voltage conditions
without causing resonance or instability. In addition,
• The converter can be configured for two AC line sources to facilitate the
use of a backup generator.
• The robust default current regulator and voltage regulator bandwidths
work well in most installations.
• Gains automatically adjust to the line impedance of two different AC line
sources.
• The converter can switch between AC line sources with limited
interaction.
– Via HIM, Connected Components Workbench™ software, and
Datalinks – all versions
– Digital Input – firmware revision 4 and later
• The converter tuning capabilities and features of PowerFlex 755T
products accommodate one AC line source or a primary source with a
backup generator.

Chapter 2 AC Line Tuning
AC Source Configuration The first step to configure the converter is to specify some basic information
about the AC source. This basic information is used to calculate the system
impedance, which is used to calculate the current regulator gains automatically.
Tab le 3 shows the basic AC line source information required.
System impedance is derived from this information. The converter operates best
when system impedance is less than 10%. Use this equation to calculate system
impedance.
The Line Source A and Line Source B parameters accommodate situations where
the system is powered by two separate sources. An example is when the system has
a backup generator that switches on when the main AC line loses power.
If the drive is not going to be powered by different sources, populate only one set
of line source data (A or B). Which set is populated does not matter as long as
13:31 [AC Line Source] is pointing to the set with the correct line information.
External Bus Capacitance When tuning the converter, some analogies can be made to tuning the inverter.
One analogy is the similarity between external bus capacitance and load inertia.
Just like inertia resists changes in velocity on the motor side, bus capacitance
resists changes in DC Bus Voltage on the line side. Having the correct external
bus capacitance is as important to the Voltage Regulator gains as having the
correct load inertia is to the Velocity Regulator gains.
The total system capacitance is used in the automatic calculation of the voltage
regulator gains. Total system capacitance is the sum of all capacitance that is
connected to the DC bus. The drive knows its own capacitance and
automatically accounts for it in the calculations, but it does not know the
capacitance of external devices that are connected to the bus. Use parameter
13:52 [Ext Bus Cap] to specify the external capacitance so that the total system
capacitance is known. External bus capacitance is the sum of the individual bus
capacitance values for each drive and any external bus capacitors that are
connected to the DC bus.

AC Line Tuning Chapter 2
Specifying an external capacitance value that is higher than the actual connected
capacitance can cause instability. Also, incorrect values cause a noticeable
performance degradation. If you don’t know the exact capacitance, specify the
value on the low side and use the Bus Observer feature to account for the
remaining capacitance. See Bus Observer on page 9 for more information. If the
external bus capacitance is largely unknown, enter a zero and enable the bus
observer to estimate the entire value.
Bus Regulators The converter uses a cascaded control loop for voltage regulation and current
regulation. The current regulator is the inner loop and the voltage regulator is the
outer loop. This method is similar to the cascaded control loop for torque
regulation that is employed on the inverter.
Voltage and Current Regulator Tuning
After the external bus capacitance is specified, the DC bus voltage and current
regulator are tuned by adjusting parameters 13:55 [Volt Reg BW] and 13:75
[Cur Reg BW]. The default bandwidth values of these parameters work for most
applications. The regulator gains (Kp and Ki) are set to automatically calculate
from the voltage regulator bandwidth and current regulator bandwidth. The
regulator also supports manually entered gain values.
The automatically calculated gain values for the current regulator are displayed
by parameters 13:58 [c Volt Reg Kp] and 13:60 [c Volt Reg Ki]. The
automatically calculated gain values for the voltage regulator are displayed by
parameters 13:78 [c Cur Reg Kp] and 13:80 [c Cur Reg Ki]. These read-only
parameter values are recalculated when their respective bandwidth parameter
value is changed.
The spacing between Kp and Ki gains can be varied by adjusting the damping
factor with parameter 13:56 [Volt Reg Damping]. By default, the system is
critically damped (13:56 [Volt Reg Damping] = 1.000).
If an application has a high impedance supply, the default bandwidths can cause
the LCL filter to resonate and requires the converter to be de-tuned. To de-tune,
adjust 13:55 [Volt Reg BW] and 13:75 [Cur Reg BW] down by the same
percentage. As a rule, the current regulator bandwidth is 10 times larger than the
voltage regulator bandwidth (10:1 ratio) to avoid interaction and possible
resonance. However, in applications that require a fast dynamic response with a
soft line supply, you can reduce the ratio down to 6:1.
A good indication that the converter needs to be de-tuned is the presence of
14117 ‘CapResonanceArm’ and 14118 ‘CapResonanceFlt’ alarms. Monitor
14:1216 [F0 Cap BPF Cur R], 14:1217 [F0 Cap BPF Cur S], and 14:1218 [F0
Cap BPF Cur T] to observe the LCL filter resonance. When de-tuning, lower the
bandwidths until these parameters are below the capacitor resonance fault
threshold. The thresholds are listed in the following tables.

Frames 10…15 have multiple LCL filter modules. The first filter module can be
used as a guide to de-tune all filter modules in the product. However, it is
recommended that you check the other modules to make sure that their currents
are below their respective threshold. Table 6 shows the parameter numbers and
