Pole position identification

Description
For synchronous motors, the pole position identification determines its electrical pole
position, that is required for the field-oriented control. Generally, the electrical pole position is
provided from a mechanically adjusted encoder with absolute information. In this case, pole
position identification is not required. For the following encoder properties, pole position
identification is not required:
● Absolute encoder (e.g. EnDat, DRIVE-CLiQ encoder)
● Encoder with C/D track and pole pair number ≤ 8
● Hall sensor
● Resolver with a multiple integer ratio between the motor pole pair number and the
● Incremental encoder with a multiple integer ratio between the motor pole pair number and
The pole position identification is used for:
● Determining the pole position (p1982 = 1)
● Determining the angular commutation offset during commissioning (p1990 = 1)
● Plausibility check for encoders with absolute information (p1982 = 2)
Notes regarding pole position identification
The relevant technique can be selected using parameter P1980. The following techniques
are available for a pole position identification routine:
● Saturation-based 1st+ 2nd harmonics (p1980 = 0)
● Saturation-based 1st harmonics (p1980 = 1)
● Saturation-based, two-stage (p1980 = 4)
● Saturation-based (p1980 = 10)
The following supplementary conditions apply to the saturation-based motion technique:
● This technique can be used for both braked and non-braked motors.
● It can only be used for a speed setpoint = 0 or from standstill.
● The specified current magnitudes (p0325, p0329) must be sufficient to provide a

WARNING
When the motors are not braked, the motor rotates or moves as a result of the current
impressed during the measurement. The magnitude of the motion depends on the
magnitude of the current and the moment of inertia of the motor and load.
