Moment of inertia estimator
Overview
From the load moment of inertia and the speed setpoint change, the converter calculates the
accelerating torque required for the motor. Via the speed controller precontrol, the accelerating
torque specifies the main percentage of the torque setpoint. The speed controller corrects
inaccuracies in the precontrol (feed-forward control).

The more precise the value of the moment of inertia in the converter, the lower the
overshoot after speed changes.

Function description
The converter calculates the total moment of inertia of the load and motor. The calculation
comprises the following components:
• Current speed
• Actual motor torque
• Reduce the load
