Actual signals and parameters
Description
Defines the droop rate. The parameter value needs to be changed only if both
the Master and the Follower are speed-controlled:
- External control location 1 (EXT1) is selected (see parameter
- External control location 2 (EXT2) is selected (see parameter 11.02) and
parameter 60.02 is set to SPEED.
The droop rate needs to be set both for the Master and the Follower. The
correct droop rate for a process must be found out case by case in practice.
The drooping prevents a conflict between the Master and the Follower by
allowing a slight speed difference between them. The drooping slightly
decreases the drive speed as the drive load increases. The actual speed
decrease at a certain operating point depends on the droop rate setting and
the drive load ( = torque reference / speed controller output). At 100% speed
controller output, drooping is at its nominal level, that is equal to the value of
the DROOP RATE. The drooping effect decreases linearly to zero along with
the decreasing load.

Selects the signal that is sent by the Master to the Follower(s) as Reference 1
(speed reference).
Parameter index
Selects the signal that is sent by the Master to the Follower(s) as Reference 2
(torque reference for load sharing or speed reference for Shaft
synchronisation).
Note: This has to be set to 202 when the Par.
to be set 213 when the Par.
Parameter index
Selects the scaling factor in percentage of the signal that is sent by the Master
to the Follower(s) as Reference 2 (torque reference). Active only in Follower
drives.
Percentage
Selects the number of slaves when the drive is selected as the Master. Active
only if selected as Master.
