Safety instructions
The following symbols should assist you in handling the instruction: General information, note exactly ! Dangerous voltages ! Danger of life ! Measurement, control ! Advise, tip ! Keypad operation ! Example ! The requirements for a successfull commissioning are a correct selection of the unit, projection and mounting. In case of further questions, please contact the supplier or call the manufacturer of the unit directly.
Capacitor discharge !
Before any work on or in the unit, disconnect from the mains and wait at least 5 minutes until the D.C.link capacitors have been fully discharged. Check that the device is no longer alive by measuring the voltage at the D.C.link capacitor.
Automatic restart !
In case of certain parameter adjustments it may happen that the frequency inverter starts up automatically after switching on the mains again. You have to guarantee, that no person and no other equipment is in danger.

Preface:
This Operating Manual explains how to use the MX frequency inverter with all electrical drives for decanter centrifuges. The following brief description of the structure and mechanism of decanter centrifuges is intended to promote understanding of the individual application, and thus to allow you to parametrize and start up the drive component more efficiently.
A major factor in this separation process is the differential speed between the rotating bowl and the conveyor screw. This speed is calculated and set automatically by selecting a procedural steady state characteristic and complex control models depending on the screw load (torque).
In order to adjust the differential speed, two different drive concepts (on the solids transport side) are available:
a)
In the electric backdrive system, the differential speed is influenced by changing the speed of the backdrive motor, which is connected with the conveyor screw and bowl via the tappets of the planetary gear. In accordance with the mathematical formula n =
the following steady state characteristic is obtained depending on the bowl speed.
Depending on the direction of the backdrive, the backdrive motor operates in the generator quadrant or in the motor quadrant. BD forward: n =
BD reverse:
n =
A centrifuge drive with generator capacity can thus switch to motor operation at any time. (e. g. at high differential speeds or in the acceleration and deceleration phase) A backdrive with motor capacity, on the other hand, will always operate only in motor mode. In backdrive systems with generator capacity, a d.c. supply link to the main drive must be installed in the backdrive inverter instead of the mains supply. It provides the energy released by the backdrive to the bowl drive.
b)
In this version, a rotating, slowly turning hydraulic radial piston motor (Rotodiff) acts on the conveyor screw. The differential speed between the bowl and screw speed is directly proportional to the speed of the hydromotor. The speed of the hydromotor is in turn proportional to the volume flow (Q [l/min]) of the oil flowing through it. The hydromotor is fed by a speed-controlled internal geared pump. Speed control is achieved with the help of the procedural steady state characteristic for calculating n, and the hydraulic losses due to pressure. The differential speed can now be calculated using the following formula:
n (rpm) =
Control:
The control process for the conveyor drive is independent of the type of drive (backdrive or hydromotor), and is designed in such a way that the differential speed is defined using a procedural steady state characteristic. This steady state characteristic is defined by two points (dn min/T1, dn max/T2), and can be set to linear, convex, concave or digital. Thus, the differential speed adjusts to the load situation automatically. If the load increases, the clearance effect is increased by increasing the differential speed. A digital output (T > T1) is set to an adjustable torque limit, thus stopping the suspension supply. If the load increases to a further adjustable torque limit, a second digital output (T > T2) is applied. This can be used for safety shutdown. Low differential speeds provide good separation and a higher degree of dryness of the separated solid content depending on the set pool depth.
If the differential speed defined by the steady state characteristic is too low or as a result of changes in the material composition (temperature and solid content of the suspension; quantity, type and temperature of flocculant added, etc.), the differential speed must be modified regardless of the actual load situation. This intervention is possible by shifting the set steady state characteristic (offset), whereby the drive remains in automatic control mode. The offset standard is set using the up/down keys or with an analog reference value (4...20mA). 100% offset corresponds with the nominal motor torque. An increase in offset therefore results in an increase in differential speed. The offset can only be shifted within the min. and max. differential speed limits!
It is possible to switch from steady state characteristic control mode to n mode, where the differential speed is defined using an analog value (4...20 mA) (load-independent n standard) at any time (even during operation). In addition, a speed mode is available in electric backdrive systems. The bowl must be at a standstill before switching to this mode. In this mode, the procedural processes vibration washing CIP programs rinsing, etc. are possible.
