What type of control is needed for the application? [P1300]
A distinction is made between V/f open-loop control and vector closed-loop control.
● The V/f open-loop control is the simplest operating mode for an inverter. For example, it
● For closed-loop vector control, the speed deviations between the setpoint and actual
Which command and setpoint sources are used to control the motor?
The command and setpoint sources available are specified by the inverter's Control Unit.
On Control Units with a PROFIBUS interface the specified commands and setpoints are
preset by the control. For all other Control Units the digital inputs and analog inputs are
preset.
● Possible command sources
● Possible setpoint sources
What speed limits should be set? (Minimum and maximum speed)
The minimum and maximum speed with which the motor operates or is limited regardless of
the speed setpoint.
● Minimum speed [P1080] - factory setting 0 [rpm]
● Maximum speed [P1082] - factory setting 1500 [rpm]
What motor ramp-up time and ramp-down time are needed for the application?
The ramp-up and ramp-down time define the maximum motor acceleration when the speed
setpoint changes. The ramp-up and ramp-down time is the time between motor standstill and
the maximum speed, or between the maximum speed and motor standstill.
● Ramp-up time [P1120] - factory setting 10 s
● Ramp-down time [P1121] - factory setting 10 s
