Development of Electric Drive Control System in SoMachine (Schneider Electric)

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the disclosure of opportunities for the development of an electric drive control system based on frequency converters manufactured by Schneider Electric. The paper contains the results of practical experience in the manufacture of hardware, parameterization and programming of the control system. As a control object, a bridge crane with main hoist, auxiliary hoist and carriage movement mechanisms is considered. This crane was developed and assembled by the authors and is used for teaching students, conducting research by graduate students and scientists. Despite the availability of materials on this topic, the paper aims to provide a complete description of the system from sensors and controller to visualization and connectivity. Provides debugging information for the ATV930, ATV 320, Magelis HMISTU855 touch panel, and M241 controller. The development of the dispatching control system for the crane mechanisms was carried out using SoMachine (control part) and Vijeo Designer (visualization part) software. Recording of experimental data and parameterization of frequency converters is performed in SoMove software. This paper will be useful both for academic purposes in teaching students, researchers, as well as for motorers of industrial enterprises.
