Welcome to Yaskawa America's eLearning Module
The P1000 Features and Benefits
Hello my name is Paul Avery and I'm an
engineer at Yaskawa America Incorporated.
I will be your instructor today as we go
through this eLearning Module
P1000 drive is Yaskawa's latest and greatest
industrial fan and pump drive.
Yaskawa engineers specified the
functionality of the P1000 to directly
address the needs of customers utilizing
the drive in a wide variety of
industrial variable torque applications
Yaskawa's corporate initiative to put
quality at the forefront of everything
they do is reflected in the exceptional
build quality of the P1000.
The P1000 features Easy Start Up Macros,
functionality that makes it
Easy to Apply and Maintain,
and offers flexible options that
increase its Usability.
The P1000 is Environmentally Friendly and
helps save energy and is manufactured
with RoHs compliant materials. on top of
On top of RoHs compliance, the P1000 features
certification from all major international agencies.
The design of the P1000 has been optimized.
Parts reductions help limit failure points
and increase MTBF.
The components used in the design
are selected using criteria that
exceeds the actual specs of the drive.
Yaskawa utilizes the latest generation of
IGBTs that offer increased immunity to
heat issues.
Improved Short Circuit Detection
will protect the P1000 from failures
before extensive damage can occur.
The P1000 will offer as standard
a multi-line LCD Keypad with a Real Time Clock.
The Real Time Clock will present exceptional
new capabilities for operation that will
improve the P1000's usability and
decrease the need for external equipment.
We will examine more specifics of the
Real Time Clock on a later slide.
The P1000 comes in three different voltage classes...
240 volts, 480 volts and 600 volts
The horsepower range of the P1000 differs by
voltage class and is shown on this slide's graphic.
Also shown are the output amp ratings that
correspond to the largest horsepowers
of each Voltage Class.
Besides adding the 600 Volt Class,
the P1000 will also reach larger horsepowers
that were not available in the previous generation
of Yaskawa industrial fan and pump drives.
The model number nomenclature of
the P1000 adheres to the format that all
of the 1000 generation drives follow...
just like the V1000 and A1000.
Besides defining the voltage class and
output current rating, the P1000 model number
also specifies the enclosure type and
the international region that the drive
is initially configured for from the factory.
The P1000 offers standard Volts per Hertz control
with a 400 Hertz output Frequency range
and the ability to source a 120% of its
rated current for up to one minute.
The Overload level of the P1000
is appropriate for standard fan and pump
applications found in industrial locations.
Since these variable torque applications
require very little low end torque for accelerating,
the P1000's overload profile will limit its
low-end torque capabilities.
An exciting addition to the P1000
is the Real Time Clock
featured as part of the keypad.
The proper time and date will have to be set
but the benefits will be great.
Until the clock is set,
a time (TIM) alarm state will exist
though normal operation the drive
is possible during the Alarm state.
The initial time setting will use the
military-style 24-hour clock, but when
displaying timestamps the more typical
12-hour clock will be used instead.
When the P1000 records a drive fault,
the Real Time Clock will date and
timestamp the occurance.
Dates will use the North American standard
of month first and day second.
As stated before programming will
be done with a 24 hour clock,
but all items that display timestamps will use
the 12-hour clock, with the AM and PM signifier.
Adding to the P1000's flexibility and convenience
is the amount and type of I/O.
The P1000 will have onboard
24 volt DC power terminals.
The 24 volt supply will have the ability
to source up to 150 milliamps.
A power supply like that will come in handy
when power for sensors and
transducers is necessary.
The drive will have two Form A and
one Form C output relays that will be
customizable as to their function.
By offering multifunction true Relay outputs
the P1000 will be hardy enough
and adjustable enough to fit in perfectly
in most fan and pump applications.
The P1000 will also have a dedicated
output for fault annunciations
that is also a full Form C Relay.
The P1000 will have eight digital inputs,
three analog inputs, as well as,
a single pulse train input.
In all three cases,
Yaskawa has increased by one
the number of available inputs over their previous
generation of industrial fan and pump drive.
Pre-programmed Macros are a
convenient feature of the P1000.
By setting the initialization parameter to
the Pump setting, the P1000 will fill the
Quick Setting menu with parameters that
will commonly need to be adjusted
in most pump applications, as well as,
configuring these parameters to their
most common settings.
Yaskawa has made custom macros
for industrial pumps, pumps with PI regulation,
industrial fans and fans with PI regulation.
A challenge of PI regulation for industrial pumping
applications is how to protect the pump
from operating at low speeds while not
interfering with PI operation.
Having the pump enter a Sleep State based on
Sleep Speed and a delay timer is the
first part of Yaskawa's new EZ Sleep function.
Once the PI operation slows,
the pump speed, due to lack of demand,
will trigger EZ Sleep.
If the demand doesn't return,
drive speed will drop to the EZ minimum
speed and the delay time will elapse
and then the P1000 will ramp to a stop.
Therefore during low demand sequences,
the pump will save its energy and wait
for the demand to return.
EZ Wake will monitor the system feedback
for the right conditions that indicate
that the demand has returned and it is
time to Wake Up and regulate again.
Yaskawa gives the user the ability to
set the Wake Up level as a hard and fast
feedback level or as a Delta that will
move as the PI setpoint gets adjusted
so that its relationship with the setpoint
is maintained.
To further make the Sleep function EZ,
the Quick Settings menu will contain all
the relevant EZ Sleep parameters when
the pump with PI macro is used.
To complete the discussion of the
application macros, here are the lists of
the Parameters that will be listed
in the Quick Setting menu after the
applicable macro is initialized.
Each list is mostly different though
there are a few parameters that
are common to all applications.
It is important for easy operation of a VFD
that the most appropriate information is
at your fingertips at all times.
Yaskawa makes that a reality
with the P1000.
On the 5 line LCD Keypad of the P1000
three monitors can be shown simultaneously.
The P1000 has the ability to customize
which of many monitors it will show
on the 2nd and 3rd line of the display.
When an application macro that involves
PI regulation is selected,
the P1000 will automatically set all three
monitors to the most typical
monitors for PI operation:
PI Setpoint, VFD Output Speed
and the PI Feedback Level.
On top of that, the units of operation
whether PI or non-PI operation allows
selection of the most appropriate units.
A list of typical units such as PSI,
can be selected, but the P1000 also allows
a custom selection of any three letters
as the unit displayed for drive speed
such as BPH or barrels per hour.
A single Option Port on the P1000
allows connection of a wide variety of
Communication Option Cards.
The main Industrial Communication Protocols
are represented, such as DeviceNet
and Profibus as well as the industrial
Ethernet options such as Ethernet IP,
Modbus TCP/IP and ProfiNet.
Widening the range of installation options,
the P1000 will also offer Communication
Option Cards that fit more with
Building Automation System or BAS types
of networks such as BACnet, LonWorks,
as well as a single board that will do
Metasys and Apogee protocols.
Yaskawa also offers an
Auxiliary Control Power Input Module
to help keep networks crash-free
even when the drives AC input power is lost.
The module connects directly to the
P1000's internal control power circuit
and when the module is connected
to a 24 volt DC power supply,
it will power the Keypad, I/O and
Communication Option Cards.
Because the drive node never disappears
unexpectedly after a power issue,
the communication network stays rock-solid.
Yaskawa surrounds the P1000 with
world-class tools.
The free DriveWizard Industrial software
allows for a simple and secure way of
backing up the P1000's programming,
but DriveWizard doesn't stop there!
DriveWizard also offers a guided
Setup wizard, advanced Monitoring
including a Graphical Trending recorder
and the ability to search through the
P1000's vast adjustments by parameter words.
Also available for Programming Backup
and Programming Transfer are the
optional USB Copy Unit and the standard
Keypad with its built-in memory.
The removable control terminal board also
comes with built-in memory.
Every time a parameter is adjusted by the user
the terminal board records the change.
In the instance of a drive replacement,
when the replacement drives terminal board
is removed and replaced by the terminal board
of the original drive,
the user has a chance to upload the
original drive's programming
once the drive is powered up for the first time.
This action reduces the downtime experience
during drive replacement.
The P1000 offers features that make it easy to
fit in perfectly with specific application needs.
For applications that require the ambient
motor noise to be as low as possible
without detrimental effects on the
drive's performance,
the P1000 features Dynamic Noise Control.
When rated torque is necessary
the motor's rated voltage is applied.
When the load is light, however,
the P1000 will decrease the output
voltage to minimize motor noise.
Once the load returns, the P1000 turns off the
Dynamic Noise Control and returns the
voltage to its normal rating.
To harness the power of the Real Time Clock
and add to the P1000's easy to apply ability,
Yaskawa has given the P1000
four Programmable Sequence Timers.
The timers are customizable as to the
run hours and days affected.
There are choices that set weekday only,
weekend only, every day or
handpick which days the sequences run.
Yaskawa makes it easy to set it and forget it!
Many fan and pump installations are in
or around PI regulation.
Much of the regulation is being done by the
fan or pump connected to the P1000
but some of the PI regulation is necessary
for external control and usually requires
extra equipment.
Now with the P1000,
Yaskawa has built in the ability to use
the P1000 on a second and independent
PI Loop, even while the P1000 is driving
and regulating its own motor output.
The second PI circuit can use
programmed set points or utilize any available
analog input as either a set point source
or a feedback source.
The output of the second PI Loop will be
available at out one of the two analog outputs
of the P1000 as either a 0 to 10 volt,
plus or minus 10 volt,
or 4 to 20 milliamp signal.
The P1000 will also offer an
Emergency Override Function.
Once engaged, the override will run the drive to
destruction by suspending most of the
fault functions that normally protect
the drive, motor and application.
The Emergency Override function comes in
handy when extenuating circumstances
make fan or pump operations superior to
equipment protection.
Detecting broken fan belts
or pump couplings is important.
The Under Load Detection function will
give the P1000 a Speed based Load
Detection function that will monitor
output current to determine whether the
belt or coupling is still doing its job.
By adding the speed dependence to the
Under Load Detection, makes the function
more applicable to variable torque
applications like fans and pumps.
Some remote applications that receive their
Start and Stop sequencing from the Keypad
often run into problems when
trying to restart after power losses.
Since the RUN input was a momentary input
that is latched by the drive itself,
the RUN is lost when the drive loses power.
The P1000 can be programmed
to store the current RUN state during
any power loss, intentional or not.
When power is restored the function will
continue to operate the same way it was
prior to the power loss.
The simple video on this slide shows the
Autorun Storage function in action.
The P1000 tries in various ways to allow
installers to optimize their mounting space
to get the most bang for their buck.
The most straightforward way to
save space, is the decrease in space
taken up by the P1000.
P1000 averages a 30% volume reduction
over the previous generation with a comparable
with a comparable power output.
Second, the P1000 allows for mounting
the Heatsink portion of the drive
outside of the enclosure of the drive
it's installed in.
By putting the hottest part of the drive
outside of the enclosure, the size of the enclosure
necessary for handling the generated
heat of the component shrinks appreciably.
Finally, the P1000 allows for
Side-by-Side mounting of multiple drives
with a modest D rate.
The side by side mounting again saves on
the enclosure size necessary for the installation.
Last generation Yaskawa improved fan
maintenance by making the removal of
failed fans an easy, sometimes tool-less operation.
The P1000 builds off of that
by using hardier fans that allow the fans
to be mounted on top of the Heatsink
and therefore away from the conduit or
wiring that block access to the fans
that are mounted on the bottom of the Heatsink.
To accomplish this, Yasakawa uses
fans that can survive the high temperatures
that will rise off of the Heatsink itself.
Additionally, a group of Maintenance Monitors
in the P1000 track and display the elapsed
lifespan of four of the most important components
that will wear over the life of the drive,
including the fans.
No adjustment is necessary
to start the monitoring.
The drive will automatically pop up a
warning screen when 90% of the expected
lifespan of the component has elapsed.
Once the component is replaced,
the lifespan countdown can be
reset back to zero and started again.
There is very little that the P1000 can't do
for the typical industrial fan and pump application.
It is designed and specified
specifically for variable torque applications.
It features Yaskawa's impressive build quality,
still unmatched in the industry.
It has features that allow easy startup of the
drive such as fan and pump macros
and the free of charge, but worth so much more
DriveWizard Industrial software.
It has functions created to ease the application
of the drive on fan and pump applications
like Real Time Clock with sequence timers,
a customizable Keypad display with units,
Under Load Detection, and Dynamic Noise Control.
It also makes maintenance easy
to perform and remember
with convenient Cooling Fan locations,
preventive Maintenance Monitors
with Alarm Screens
and Automatic Programming Backup
in case of drive replacement.
P1000 is also flexible with Option Cards
that allow it to join existing
Industrial Communication Networks
like DeviceNet or Building Automation System
style networks like BACnet.
It also has an impressive array of
digital analog pulse train I/O
with a built-in 24 volt power supply.
Finally, the P1000 comes with certification
for most parts of the globe, as well as,
RoHs compliance and energy savings functions
that make it a step in the right direction
for environmental friendliness.
