Variable frequency drives and servo motion control, free and complete: drive parameters, motor control, braking, communication, servo tuning, homing and positioning, with notes, quizzes and an optional verifiable certificate.
Power wiring, keypad and terminal control, analog and preset speed references, relay outputs, PLC and Modbus control, fieldbus, safety functions and troubleshooting, on a generic drive and the Schneider ATV320.
Explain V/F against vector control and VFD against soft starter and servo
Wire a drive on single-phase or three-phase supply, with shielding and earthing
Set motor nameplate and basic parameters from the keypad
What a servo system is, how to wire, mode, home, tune and network one, then motion programming in Studio 5000 and Siemens TIA Portal technology objects.
Choose a servo system by torque, speed, inertia ratio and feedback
Wire, configure and jog a servo drive
Use position, speed and torque modes and know the runaway risk
Siemens drives the way commissioning engineers work them: the SINAMICS family and STARTER, projects and uploads, G120 commissioning, BICO technology and command sources, limits, bands and diagnostics, parameter backup and firmware, S120 components and configuration, S120 in TIA Portal with Startdrive and motion blocks, drive safety STO and SS1, and S210 motion commissioning.
Connect STARTER over USB, PROFINET and PROFIBUS
Upload, download, archive and commission a G120
Wire signals with BICO and set limits and diagnostics
Rockwell drives from keypad to Logix: the PowerFlex family and VFD fundamentals, the 525 keypad and parameters, 2-wire, 3-wire, reverse, potentiometer and analog wiring, Connected Components Workbench, EtherNet/IP with Logix and ADC, encoder, PID, StepLogic and STO, the PowerFlex 4 and 4M, the 750 series and 755TS, and Armor PowerFlex, MCCs and line reactors.
Rockwell motion from the axis tree to cams: the Kinetix family and Motion Analyzer, axis setup and hook-up tests, the RSLogix 5000 servo series, command operation and control bits, tuning with S-curves and trends, gearing and MRP, registration and event tasks, MAPC, MCCP and MAOC cams, coordinated and SFC motion, Kinetix 5300, 5500, 5700, 5100 and legacy 6000 Sercos hardware, and diagnostics.
Size and choose Kinetix drives and set up axes
Run hook-up tests, direct commands and the servo command sequence
Siemens motion control the way machine builders commission it: technology objects in TIA Portal V21, pulse-train axes on the S7-1200 and PROFIdrive axes on the S7-1500, the SINAMICS V90 with V-ASSISTANT, PLCopen motion blocks, homing, limits and safe stops, axis simulation in PLCSIM, tuning, gearing and camming, and a commissioning checklist.
Choose the technology object and the CPU for an axis: S7-1200, S7-1500 or a T-CPU
Wire a SINAMICS V90 and commission it with V-ASSISTANT: control mode, gear ratio, backup and jog
Drive a V90 or a stepper by pulse train from an S7-1200, and a V90 PN over PROFINET with PROFIdrive telegrams
The VFD course is vendor-neutral with Siemens, ABB and Delta examples; the servo course covers Siemens, Rockwell, Delta and Mitsubishi motion.
Do I need a drive to practise?
No. STARTER, Startdrive and CCW run offline; a small VFD makes the commissioning lessons real later.
