Abstract
Automatic start and speed command circuit for supplying an analog start acceleration and preset signal to an AC electric motor controlled by a variable frequency motor and or brushed/brushless DC motor controller or any electric motor speed control or drive which uses an analog speed command signal input for supplying a variable analog speed command to the controller for setting an operational motor speed. This includes manually speed setting device such as potentiometer.
Automatic start and speed command circuit will provide a cycle start after which will increase the command to said electric analog drive to accelerate the motor for an allotted time to allow the controller and motor to achieve the commanded speed at the motor, the speed command is incrementally increased till maximum speed or set speed is achieved.
A adjustable time base is included for each increase of command speed to allow for tuning the start up performance of the motor. An isolated power source is included which provides power to the circuit and is isolated from the command signal on the drive or controller as not to interfere with input command on the drive and/or controller.

Description
AUTOMATIC START AND SPEED COMMAND CIRCUIT
BACKGROUND
This invention relates to a start and speed command circuit and, more particularly to a speed command control that provides a continuous increase in acceleration to a set point for starting and further set point speed command to a final set point speed after the starting of an electrical motor drive control.
DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
Start and speed command developments are required in many applications to determine start and speed command levels to insure proper operation of equipment. Traditionally, speed command has been accomplished by hall affect and manual settings that rely upon manual input changes of the device in response to start and speed command changes of the electrical motor drive. These electrical motor controlling devices require manual operation and vary from their designed commanded operational characteristics. One object of the present invention is to provide an automatic reliable electrical motor drive automatic start and speed command signal for starting and running speed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention includes a start and speed command circuit that provides a start control system and speed stepped approach to starting and speed setting for the drive. These controls are utilized by devices to increase the efficiency of the motors and hence the systems and devices that use them.
Both DC and AC drive systems are used to provide efficient and proper operation during normal conditions, and maintain proper and safe use. The frequency of or, expressed alternatively, the interval between successive increase speed commands is selected to prevent stalling and excessive current draw under heavy usage conditions. For example, Variable Frequency Drives permit the user to optimize the control speeds based on a particular AC motor characteristic and usage conditions.
