2.2.2 Characteristics, quality, service
Features
The accuracy of sensorless vector control ensures that the system can be used for a wide
variety of applications and, as a result, an additional speed sensor is not required.
Optionally, applications with system-specific requirements for an encoder can use an
encoder evaluator.
SINAMICS G150 takes this into account and, as a result, offers a low-cost drive solution
tailored to actual requirements.
