B7: Droop Control (Clv) - YASKAWA FSDrive-MV1000 Parameter Manual

◆ b7: Droop Control (CLV)

Droop control can automatically balance the load level between two motors that drive the same load, such as in a traverse
cranes applications. It must be activated in one of the two drives that control these motors. The drive in which Droop
control is activated will automatically reduce the speed if the torque reference rises, and increase the speed if the torque
reference falls again, thereby shifting the load from one motor to the other.
Note: Disable Feed Forward (n5-01 = 0) whenever using Droop control.

= 100% Load
B
= 80% Load
Droop Control increases the speed reference in
drive B accomplishing load balance
b7-01: Droop Control Gain
■
Sets the amount of speed reduction when the torque reference is 100%. The gain is set as a percentage of the maximum
output frequency. A setting of 0.0% disables the Droop control function.
No.

b7-02: Droop Control Delay Time
■
The setting in b7-02 adjusts the responsiveness of Droop control. Reduce the setting if the reaction time is too long, and
increase it if hunting occurs.
No.
