Overview of Motor Control Methods
Select an appropriate motor control mode for the motor to be driven and the control method.
When you drive an induction motor (IM), set [AA121]=00 to 10.
Set [AA121] = 11 or 12 to drive a synchronous motor (SM)/permanent magnet motor (PMM).
The characteristics of the control operation may be improved by automatic tuning.
Whether the currently-selected mode is the control mode for induction motors or that for synchronous
motors (SMs)/permanent magnet motors (PMMs) can be checked by [dC-45] IM/SM(PMM) monitor.
Precautions for Correct Use
• As improper settings for a given motor result in performance below its potential characteris-
tics, be sure to set up appropriately.
• See 6-2 Parameter Setting for Motor Related on page 6-8 for checking.
• To drive multiple induction motors (IMs) by a single inverter, it is recommendable to use it
with V/f control's constant torque characteristics.
• An exemplar selection of control mode will be shown in the following section. Some of your
systems may have more suitable modes than what is selected as the example.
