Control mode
U/f control or flux current control (FCC)
Properties
•
Typical settling time after a speed change:
100 ms ... 200 ms
•
Typical settling time after a load surge: 500 ms
•
The control mode is suitable to address the fol‐
lowing requirements:
– Motor power ratings < 45 kW
– Ramp-up time 0 → rated speed (depending
– Applications with steady load torque without

The control mode is insensitive with respect to
imprecise setting of the motor data

Typical settling time after a speed change:
< 100 ms
•
Typical settling time after a load surge: 200 ms
•
The control mode controls and limits the motor
torque
•
Torque accuracy that can be achieved: ± 5 % for
15 % ... 100 % of the rated speed
•
We recommend the control mode for the follow‐
ing applications:
– Motor power ratings > 11 kW
– For load surges of 10 % ... >100 % of the rated
motor torque
•
The control mode is necessary for a ramp-up
time 0 → rated speed (dependent on the rated
motor power): < 1 s (0.1 kW) ... < 10 s (132 kW).
