Selecting the control mode
Suitable applications and typical control properties
U/f control or FCC (flux current con‐
trol) without an encoder
Application
•
Horizontal conveyor technology
examples
(conveyor belts, roller conveyors,
chain conveyors)
•
Pumps, fans, and compressors with
flow characteristic
Motors that
can be oper‐
ated
The rated current of the motor must lie in the range of 13 % ... 100 % of the rated current of the converter.
Properties
•
Responds to speed changes with a
of closed-
typical settling time of

100 ms ... 200 ms
control
•
Responds to load surges with a typ‐
ical settling time of 500 ms
•
U/f and FCC are suitable for the fol‐
lowing cases:
– For power-up times 0 → rated
speed > 2 s
– For applications with increasing
load torque without load impul‐
ses
•
The closed-loop control is insensi‐
tive to inaccurate motor data set‐
tings, e.g. the motor temperature

The vector control responds to speed changes with a typical set‐
tling time of < 100 ms.
•
The vector control responds to load impulses with a typical set‐
tling time of 200 ms.
•
The vector control is required in the following cases:
– For power-up times 0 → rated speed < 2 s
– For applications with fast and high load impulses
•
Typically achieves a torque ac‐
curacy of ± 5 % for 15 % ...
100 % of the rated speed
