Motor Data Files
Exlar Actuators and Emerson Control Techniques Motor Data (SPmotor.ddf) files

Update July 11, 2005 (changes shown in bold type)

Motor Data Files
Using Notepad or some other text only editor, open the file that contains the data for your actuator, based on the following:

EL30: SPEL30ddf.txt
ER115: SPER115ddf.txt
GSM20: SPgsm20ddf.txt
GSM30: SPgsm30ddf.txt
GSM40: SPgsm40ddf.txt
GSX20: SPgsx20ddf.txt
GSX30: SPgsx30ddf.txt
GSX50: SPgsx50ddf.txt
GSX40 and GSX60: SPgsx4060ddf.txt
PSA60: SPpsa60dd.txt
PSA90: SPpsa90ddf.txt
PSA115: SPpsa115ddf.txt
SLG60: SPslg60ddf.txt
SLG90: SPslg90ddf.txt
SLG115: SPslg115ddf.txt
SLM (all): SPslmddf.txt
SR21: SPsr21ddf.txt
SR31: SPsr31ddf.txt
SR41: SPsr41ddf.txt

All files include the applicable 400 vac winding data.

Locate the data for your actuator by looking for the motor name. For example, for a GSX20-0602-MFM-EM2-238, the motor name would be GX223806. For the GS actuators see the spreadsheet on the Exlar website, www.exlar.com. For an SLG090-010-KCGS-EM2-338, the motor name would be S9033810. For an SLM090-KCGS-EM2-268, the motor name would be SM9026801.

Once you have located the motor name for your actuator, highlight all of the data in that paragraph and copy that selection to a new file or to the very end of an existing SPmotor.ddf file that you already use.

The data for a sample motor would look like the following:

Typical Min. to Max., Units
name=GSX301810
Folder=Exlar
peakCurrent=8.5 0 to 9,999.99 amps.
continuousCurrent=4.2 0 to 9,999.99 amps.
motorpoles=8 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16 poles
rotorInertia=0.00047* 0.000010 to 90.000000 Kg-m^2
motorKe=29.9 1 to 5,000 V/Krpm
phaseResistanceSP**=1.4 0.000 to 30.000 ohms
phaseInductanceSP**=3.84 0.00 to 5,000.00 mH
maxOperatingSpeed=3000 0 to 40,000 rpm
thermalTimeConstant = 100 0. 0 to 400.0 minutes
encoderPhaseAngle = 150 0. 0 to 359.9 electrical degrees
* - inertia entered in Kg-m^2, different from EN motor.ddf data files (lb-in-sec^2.)
** - phaseresistanceSP and phaseinductanceSP are half the values entered in EN motor.ddf data files.

If the data you need to enter is above the maximum value, enter the maximum value from above, e.g., the phase resistance for your motor is 36.5 ohms, enter phaseresistanceSP=29.999 ohms.

Then highlight and copy the following four lines to the beginning of that same file:

[Definition]
revision=0x4132
nameCount=516

Close the *ddf.txt file you have been working with and open your new file (or existing SPmotor.ddf file). For a new file with only one entry, change the namecount at the top of the file to 1 and change the text within the brackets that now reads [Motor42] (for example) to [Motor0]. If you are working with an existing file, change the number in the brackets to a number that is one greater than the last entry. Then change the nameCount at the start of the file to the existing total plus 1.

Now save this file as SPmotor.ddf. If your word processing or text editor didn’t save the file as SPmotor.ddf, close the word processor or text editor. Using Windows Explorer, locate the file you just created (probably shown as SPmotor.ddf.txt or SPmotor.ddf.doc). Highlight the filename and click the right mouse button. Select the RENAME option. When the cursor appears in the file name area, change the filename to “SPmotor.ddf”. Finalize the change by hitting the Enter key.

Now (one last step), copy the SPmotor.ddf file to the same folder that contains the PowerTools Pro program you will be using. Start the PowerTools Pro program. Open a new file. Select SM-EZ setup. Under Setup select Drive/Motor. Select a new motor. The motor you selected in the previous steps should appear as the last selection (you may have to arrow down to get to it). Select your motor and continue with the PowerTools Pro setup.

If you experience any difficulty or don’t find the motor you are looking for, give us a call at Exlar at 952-368-3434 and ask for applications assist
