(1) Setting auto-tuning
This auto tuning function allows you to set the motor constant easily, which needs to be set when operating in auto
torque boost mode or vector control mode ( = , , ,  or ).
There are two parameters ( and  described below) for auto tuning. For the steps to be followed when
setting these parameters, see the flowchart on the previous page. This section provides an explanation of 
and .

Title

=: Resets  (motor constant 1),  (motor constant 2),  (motor constant 3) and
=: Makes the inverter tune the motor constant, considering how the motor is connected, when it is started
=: Makes the inverter only tune the motor constant, unlike =. Connect the motor to the inverter

Auto-tuning 2 refers to the function of adjusting the motor constant automatically, while estimating the increase in the
motor temperature.
If your inverter is equipped with a self-cooling fan (fan connected directly to the motor shaft), set  to . When
using a motor with a cooling fan (forced air-cooling type), set  to .
• Perform Auto-tuning 2 along with auto-tuning 1.
• Perform auto-tuning when the motor is cold (temperature equal to the ambient temperature).
Precautions on auto-tuning 1
(1) The inverter is tuned automatically (auto-tuning 1 =) when the inverter is started for the first
(2) Conduct auto-tuning 1 (=) only after the motor has been connected and operation
(3) Usually, auto-tuning terminates in some seconds. If an error occurs, however, the inverter trips
(4) It may not be possible to tune automatically special motors such as high-speed motor or high-slip
(5) Provide cranes and hoists with sufficient circuit protection such as mechanical braking. Without
(6) If auto-tuning is impossible or an auto-tuning error () is displayed, perform manual tuning with (2)
