Overview

Drive Operation

Local and Remote Modes of Operation

Overview

The ATV212 drive has two modes of operation, local and remote.

In local mode, the ATV212 drive can be operated only from the embedded display terminal or graphic display

option:

 Use the RUN and STOP keys for command control

 Use the UP and DOWN keys for speed control

In remote mode, the ATV212 drive is operated from a combination of the command and speed reference sources

defined by programming parameters [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) and [Command mode sel] (CMOd) (see

page 87).

Command Sources

The command source [Command mode sel] (CMOd) choices are:

 External signals to the control terminal logic inputs F, R, RES and VIA

 Serial communication control (Modbus®, Metasys® N2, Apogee® FLN P1, BACnet, or LonWorks®)

 Embedded display terminal RUN and STOP keys or graphic display option

Speed Reference Sources

The speed reference source [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) choices are:

 External signals to the control terminal analog inputs VIA or VIB

 (4-20 mA, 0-10 Vdc),

 External signals to the control terminal logic inputs assigned to +/- Speed

 Serial communication control (Modbus^®, Metasys^® N2, Apogee FLN P1^®, BACnet, or LonWorks^®)

 Embedded display terminal UP and DOWN keys or graphic display option

Default value

Parameters [Command mode sel] (CMOd) and [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) are the first layers of logic used

by the drive to determine its command CMOd and speed reference FMOd source.

[Remote spd ref 2] (F207) is a secondary speed reference source that may override the source selected by

FMOd (see page 87).

The speed reference source identified by F207 takes control if either:

 A logic input assigned to function 38 (frequency reference source switching) is enabled, or

 Parameter [Auto/man speed ref] (F200) is set to 1 and the drive's output frequency is equal to or less than

1 Hz (see page 118).

If a serial communication link is established, it can take control of the ATV212 drive, overriding inputs identified

by CMOd, FMOd, and F207. Control is restored to CMOd, FMOd, and F207 only if:

 The serial communication link relinquishes control, or

 A logic input assigned to function 48 (forced local) is enabled.

The final layer of logic used by the drive to determine its command source is the LOC/REM key on the graphic

display option.

When the drive and embedded HMI is set to local mode (by pressing the LOC/REM key, lighting the local mode

LED), the drive responds only to commands from the embedded and graphic display option.

Overview

Selecting Local or Remote mode

DANGER

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

 Know the state of the frequency and run commands from the remote source before exiting the local mode.

 Upon entering the remote mode, the drive will respond to the most recent command from the remote source,

even if it was received before entering or while in the local mode.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Switching between local and remote mode is achieved with the LOC/REM key on the drive’s embedded display

terminal or with F4 key on the graphic display option.

The LOC/REM key can be disabled by setting parameter [Loc/rem key] (F732) to 1 (see page 90).

When parameter [Switch rem/Local] (F295) is set to 1 (factory setting), a bumpless tranfer of motor operation

is achieved when switching from remote to local mode (see page 88).

For example, if the bumpless transfert feature is active and if the motor is running at full speed with the drive in

remote mode, the motor will still run at full speed after the drive is transferred to local mode.

Conversely, when switching from local to remote mode, the run and speed command is not transferred to the

remote mode. Upon entering the remote mode, the drive will operate on the run and speed command set by the

remote source even if it was received before entering or while in the local mode.

The diagram below is an example timing diagram.

AU1: Auto ramp

vLv: Motor rated voltage

Loc Ref loc Cmd loc Loc/Rem

Starting and Stopping the Motor in Local Mode

Start and stop the motor with the RUN and STOP keys on the graphic/embeded display terminals.

The setting of parameter [Loc. mot stop mode] (F721) determines how the motor stops when the drive is in

local mode (see page 88):

 If F721 is set to 0 (factory setting), the motor will stop on a ramp, based on the time value set in parameter

[Deceleration time 1] (dEC) or parameter [Deceleration time 2] (F501).

 If F721 is set to 1, power will be removed from the motor when the STOP key is pressed, allowing the motor

to coast to a stop with the ramp-down time determined by inertia and friction.

Use of the RUN and STOP keys in local mode can be disabled using parameter [Run/stop key] (F733) (see

page 90).

Adjusting Motor Speed in Local Mode

Set the motor speed using the UP and DOWN keys on the graphic/embeded display terminals. Motor speed can

be adjusted while the drive is operating.

Normally, motor frequency changes by 0.1 Hz each time the UP or DOWN key is pressed. This rate of speed

change can be altered by entering a new frequency step change into parameter [Loc. speed ref. step] (F707)

(see page 87).

If the ENT key is pressed after the motor speed has been adjusted, that speed setpoint value will be entered into

parameter FC. The next time the drive is Power ON in local mode, it will accelerate the motor directly to the

speed setpoint memorized by [Local speed ref.] (FC) (see page 87).

Selecting Motor Rotation Direction in Local Mode

Motor rotation direction is set by parameter [Local mot. direction] (Fr) (see page 87). The four selections are:

 0: Forward only (factory setting)

 1: Reverse only

 2: Forward, with reverse selectable from the graphic/embeded display terminals (1)

 3: Reverse, with forward selectable from the graphic/embeded display terminals (1)

(1)If Fr is set to either 2 or 3, motor rotation can be set to forward by pressing the UP key while holding the

ENT key. Reverse can be set by pressing the DOWN key while holding the ENT key.

Motor rotation is indicated on the embedded display terminal as Fr-F for forward and as Fr-r for reverse.

The ability to run in the Forward or Reverse direction can be set with parameter [Motor direction] (F311) (see

page 96).

Overview

Resetting drive detected fault in Local Mode

It is not possible to clear a drive detected fault if the cause of the detected fault persists. Be certain to diagnose

and rectify the cause of the detected fault before attempting a drive reset.

With the STOP Key

To clear a drive detected fault in local mode:

1. Press the STOP key. See Fault detection codes that can be cleared with the automatic restart function after

the cause has disappeared on page 135 for a list of detected faults that can be cleared with the STOP key. If it

is possible to reset the drive, the embedded display terminal will display CLr.

2. To clear the detected fault, press the STOP key a second time.

3. If the cause of the detected fault is still present, the CLr display will not appear. Diagnose and clear the

detected fault before attempting to reset the drive.

Use of the STOP key as a clear detected fault can be set with parameter [HMI reset button] (F735) (see page

90).

In the event of an OL1 or OL2 detected fault, the following time periods are necessary before a clear detected

fault is possible:

 OL1 (drive overload)—about 30 seconds after the detected fault has occured

 OL2 (motor overload)—about 120 seconds after the detected fault has occured

By Cycling Line Power

A drive detected fault can also be cleared by removing and restoring line power. Be certain that the cause of the

detected fault is no longer present and leave power removed long enough for all of the LEDs on the face of the

drive to extinguish.

Cycling power to clear a detected fault can cause the detected fault history to be lost. Refer to parameter [Drive

Fault Memory] (F602) on page 138.

Logic Input Functions Active in Local Mode

The logic input functions listed in the table below are active, even if [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is set to 1

(embedded display terminal control). See table on page 100 for logic input function settings.

Overview

Remote Mode

When the ATV212 drive is in the remote mode, the LOC/REM LED is off.

Starting and Stopping the Motor in Remote Mode

The diagram on page 50 illustrates the start/stop command source when the drive is in remote mode.

With Logic Input Terminals

Use the logic input terminals F, R, RES, or VIA to start the drive if parameter [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is

set to [Logic Inputs] (0) (factory setting).

With the display terminals

The drive responds to commands from the embedded display terminal or graphic display option, just as in local

mode, if parameter [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is set to [HMI] (1).

With Serial Communication

The drive responds to commands sent over the serial communication link (Modbus^®, Metasys^® N2, Apogee^®

FLN, BACnet or LonWorks^®) if parameter [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is set to [Communication] (2).

The drive responds to commands sent over the RJ45 communication port if parameter [Com channel choice]

(F807) is set to 0. Other protocols are available when F807 is set to 1 on open style port.

With the graphic/embeded display terminals STOP Key

The graphic/embeded display terminals STOP key is active when the drive is in remote mode. Pressing the

STOP key causes the drive to stop according to the setting of parameters [Ext. fault stop Mode] (F603), [DC

brk time ext flt] (F604), and [DC braking current] (F251) (see page 126 and page 98) . After the drive has

come to a stop, the graphic/embeded display terminals display E and the fault relay is activated.

Adjusting the Motor Speed in Remote Mode

The diagram on page 50 illustrates the speed reference source when the drive is in remote mode.

By Analog Input VIA

A 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA signal connected to VIA and CC can be used to adjust the motor speed if:

 Parameter [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) is set to 1 (factory setting).

88).

The analog signal type depends on the setting of switch SW100 and parameters F109, F201-F204, and

F470-F471.

By Analog Input VIB

A 0-10 Vdc signal connected to VIB and CC can be used to adjust the motor speed if:

 Parameter [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) is set to 2.

 Alternate speed reference source parameter [Remote spd ref 2] (F207) has not been enabled.

The control that VIB has over motor speed depends on the setting of switch SW100 and parameters

F210-F213, F472-F473, and F645.

Overview

By display terminal Control

Control of the motor speed is enabled, if:

 Parameter [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) is set to 3.

 Alternate speed reference source parameter [Remote spd ref 2] (F207) has not been enabled.

By Serial communication control

Serial communication control (Modbus, Metasys N2, Apogee FLN, BACnet or LonWorks) of the motor speed is

enabled, if:

 Parameter [Com channel choice] (F807) is set to 0 (only for Modbus on RJ45 port),

 Parameter [Com channel choice] (F807) is set to 1,

 Parameter [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) is set to 4.

 Alternate speed reference source parameter [Remote spd ref 2] (F207) has not been enabled.

By +/- Motor Speed Control

 Parameter [Frequency mode sel] (FMOd) is set to 5,

 Alternate speed reference source parameter [Remote spd ref 2] (F207) has not been enabled.

Selecting Motor Rotation Direction in Remote Mode

The diagram on page 50 illustrates the motor rotation command source when the drive is in remote mode.

With Logic Input Terminals

Use the logic input terminals F, R, RES, or VIA to select motor rotation direction if parameter [Command mode

sel] (CMOd) is set to 0 (factory setting).

With the embedded display terminal or graphic display option

Motor rotation direction can be set by pressing the display terminal UP and ENT keys if:

 Parameter [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is set to 1,

 Serial communication control has not been established.

 Parameter [Local mot. direction] (Fr) is set to either 2 or 3.

With Serial Communication

The drive responds to commands sent over the serial communication link (Modbus, Metasys N2, Apogee FLN,

BACnet or LonWorks) if Parameter [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is set to 2.

Resetting drive detected faults in Remote Mode

The diagram on page 50 illustrates the clear detected fault command source when the drive is in remote mode.

It is not possible to clear a drive detected fault if the cause of the detected fault persists. Be certain to diagnose

and rectify the cause of the detected fault before attempting to reset the drive.

See Automatically Resettable detected faults on page 135 for a list of detected faults that can be cleared in

remote mode.

With the Logic Input Terminals

Use the logic input terminals F, R, RES, or VIA to clear a drive detected fault if parameter [Command mode sel]

(CMOd) is set to 0 (factory setting).

With the graphic/embeded display terminals

The STOP key can be used to clear a drive detected fault if parameter [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is set to 1.

To clear a drive detected fault, press the STOP key. If it is possible to reset the drive, it will display CLr. To

clear the detected fault, press the STOP key a second time.

If the cause of the interruption is still present, the CLr display will not appear. Diagnose and clear the detected

fault before attempting to reset the drive.

The use of the STOP key as a clear detected fault can be managed by parameter [HMI reset button] (F735).

Overview

With Serial Communication

A drive detected fault can be cleared over the serial communication link (Modbus, Metasys N2, Apogee FLN,

BACnet or LonWorks) if parameter [Command mode sel] (CMOd) is set to 2.

In the event of an OL1 or OL2 detected fault, the following time periods needs to pass before a clear detected

fault is possible:

 OL1 (drive overload) - about 30 seconds after the occurrence of the event.

 OL2 (motor overload) - about 120 seconds after the occurrence of the event.

By Cycling Line Power

A drive detected fault can also be cleared by removing and restoring line power. Be certain that the cause of the

detected fault is no longer present and leave power removed long enough for all of the LEDs on the face of the

drive to go out.

Cycling power to clear a detected fault can cause the detected fault history to be lost. Refer to parameter F602

on page 138 for drive fault memory options.

AU1

[Auto ramp]

Automatic ramp adaptation

[Disabled]

[Enable]: [Acceleration time 1] (ACC) and [Deceleration time 1] (dEC)

[ACC only]: [Acceleration time 1] (ACC) only

If parameter AU1 is set to 1 or 2, the drive will monitor its own loading level and optimize the acceleration and deceleration

ramps. The acceleration and deceleration AU1 = 1 only rates will be automatically adjusted between 1/8 to 8 times the settings

of ACC and dEC, depending on the drive’s current rating and the load level on the motor. ACC and dEC should be appro-

priately set for an average load in the application. If the load on the motor increases rapidly during ramp up or ramp down, the

auto ramp adaptation feature may not help to prevent the drive from experiencing an overcurrent or overvoltage.

If the application requires a consistent acceleration and deceleration time, set AU1 to 0, and set ACC and dEC manually as

needed. The manual acceleration and deceleration times can still be overridden by the [Motor Current Limit] (F601) (see page

73) and [Overvoltage fault] (F305) (see page 139) and [Overvoltage level] (F626) (see page 139) functions.

ACC

[Acceleration time 1]

0.0 to 3200 s

According to drive

rating (1)

The setting of parameter ACC determines the slope of the acceleration ramp and the time it takes for the output frequency of the

drive to increase from 0 Hz to the setting of [Max frequency] (FH) (see page 92).

If parameter [Auto ramp] (AU1) is set to 1 or 2, the acceleration ramp may be increased or decreased from the setting of ACC,

depending on the amount of load on the motor during ramp up.

If two different acceleration rates are needed, see parameter [Acceleration time 2] (F500) on page 93.

Output frequency (Hz)

Time (s)

dEC

[Deceleration time 1]

According to drive

rating (1)

The setting of parameter dEC determines the slope of the deceleration ramp and the time it takes for the output frequency of

the drive to decrease from the setting of [Max frequency] (FH) to 0 Hz.

If parameter [Auto ramp] (AU1) is set to 1 or 2, the deceleration ramp may be increased or decreased from the setting of dEC,

depending on the amount of load on the motor during ramp down. See diagram above.

If two different deceleration rates are needed, see parameter [Deceleration time 2] (F501) on page 93.

If [Driving Scroll] (F324) page 160 is set to [yes] (1) the setting is replaced by 90%.

Parameter UL sets the maximum frequency that can be commanded to the drive by the local or remote speed reference source.

The top end of its range is limited by the setting of [Max frequency] (FH).

Set parameter tHr to the motor’s rated current as indicated on the motor nameplate for the selected operating voltage.

If parameter [Unit value selection] (F701) is set to 1 (see page 130), parameter tHr will be adjusted in amperes.

If parameter F701 is set to 0, parameter tHr will be adjusted in percentage. In this case, divide the motor rated current by

the drive rated current (as listed on its nameplate) and set parameter tHr to the resulting percentage.

The setting of parameter [Switch. freq. level] (F300) does not change the drive’s rated current for the sake of this calculation

(see page 95).

[AO scaling]

Analog output scaling

Parameter FM is used to match the FM terminal output signal with the input requirements of the attached panel meter by adjusting

the slope and bias of the analog output signal. Before adjusting FM, set FMSL to either 15 or 17. As you adjust the value of

FM, monitor the display on the attached panel meter. When the meter display reaches 100%, press the ENT key on the drive

display terminal. The drive will flash between FM and the adjusted value, indicating that the adjustment has been saved.

[Mot cont. mode sel.] Motor control mode

If [Driving Scroll] (F324) page 160 is set to [yes] (1) the setting is replaced by [SVC] (3).

[Constant V/Hz]: Constant V/Hz

Use constant V/Hz mode for loads that require the same torque at low speeds as at rated speeds. Low speed torque can be ad-

justed manually by setting parameter [Motor Voltage Boost] (ub) (see page 73).

This mode is similar to the constant V/Hz mode (for loads that require the same torque at low speeds as at rated speeds), except

it automatically increases motor voltage and torque to compensate for increases in load.

[SVC]: Sensorless vector control

Use sensorless vector control mode to increase torque at motor speeds below 3 Hz or to improve speed regulation (0.5 to 1%).

See diagram on page 70.

[Economy]: Energy saving

In energy savings mode, the ATV212 drive monitors motor loading and automatically modulates the voltage applied to the motor

to optimize energy consumption.

If the ATV212 drive and the connected motor have the same power rating, and if the motor has a nominal 1500 rpm rating, no

motor auto-tuning is required to use this motor control mode. Otherwise, follow the steps outlined in “Motor Tuning” on page 74.

[60 Hz reset]: 60 Hz parameter reset

Setting parameter tYP to 2 sets specific parameters to values suitable for many 60 Hz (motor base frequency) applications. See

table "Parameters whose values after a reset vary by reset type" on page 198 and table "Parameters whose values after a reset

are drive model dependant but do not vary by reset type" on page 199 for a list of parameters that are affected by this reset action

and their resultant values.

[Factory set]: Factory reset

Setting parameter tYP to 3 resets most parameters to their factory settings. See tables listed below for a listing of the values that

will be copied into the drive by this factory reset action:

Parameters whose values after a reset do not vary by reset type (on page 194).

Parameters whose values after a reset vary by reset type (on page 198).

Parameters whose values after a reset are drive model dependant but do not vary reset type (on page 199).

Parameters whose values after a reset are drive model and reset type dependant (on page 200).

Parameters whose values do not change if a reset is performed (on page 201).

A factory reset will also clear the detected fault history.

[Trip cleared]: detected fault history cleared

Setting parameter tYP to 4 clears the detected fault history. As soon as the detected fault history is reset, parameter tYP re-

sumes its default value of 0.

[Cumul time clear]: Elapsed Motor Run Time Reset

Setting parameter tYP to 5 resets the elapsed motor run time clock. As soon as the elapsed motor run time clock is reset, pa-

rameter tYP resumes its default value of 0.

Motor Control Parameters

Motor Control Mode

Constant V/Hz Mode with AutomaticTorque Boost ([Mot cont. mode sel.] (Pt) = 2 [Cst V/Hz+Boost])

Use parameter [Auto Torque Boost] (F402) to adjust the amount of automatic torque boost (see page 79).

If the ATV212 drive and the connected motor have the same power rating, and if the motor has a nominal

1500 rpm rating, no motor auto-tuning is required to use this motor control mode. Otherwise, follow the steps

outlined in “Motor Tuning” on page 74.

Due to the feedback circuit used in this mode, it is possible for motor speed to oscillate. If this occurs, select the

Constant V/Hz mode ([Mot cont. mode sel.] (Pt) = 0) and adjust torque boost manually with parameter [Motor

Voltage Boost] (ub).

Motor Rated Frequency

Output Frequency (Hz)

Sensorless Vector Control Mode ([Mot cont. mode sel.] (Pt) = 3 [SVC])

Sensorless vector control mode is only for use in applications where:

 Each motor is powered by its own ATV212 drive (not for multi-motor applications).

 The motor has a power rating equal to that of the ATV212 drive, or no lower than one hp rating less.

 The motor has between two and eight poles (750...3000 rpm).

Sensorless vector control will not improve motor control above the motor’s rated speed.

Sensorless vector control is more effective if the motor leads are less than 30 m (100 ft) in length. If motor leads

longer than 30 m (100 ft) are required, perform an auto-tuning with the long motor leads included in the circuit.

Motor torque may not be maximized at the motor’s rated frequency due to voltage drop in the motor leads.

Connecting a load reactor or a motor filter on the output of the ATV212 drive may reduce the torque generated

by the motor in sensorless vector control mode. Auto-tuning will most likely not be possible with a reactor or filter

attached to the drive. Manual tuning will be required

Permanent Magnet motors Mode ([Mot cont. mode sel.] (Pt) = 6 [PM control])

Permanent magnet motors that are light, small in size, and highly efficient, as compared to induction motors, can

be operated in sensor-less operation mode.

This feature can be used only for specific permanent magnet motors:

- IPM, Interior-buried Permanent Magnet motor.

- SPM, Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet motor.

Motor Control Parameters

Auto-tuning

Before performing an auto-tune, verify that:

 A motor is connected and any load-side disconnect is closed.

 The motor is completely stopped and de-energized.

 The motor should be cool (room temperature).

 There is only one motor connected to the drive.

 All of the motor leads that will be used in the final installation are included in the output circuit during the auto-

tuning process.

 Motor leads are no longer than 30 m (100 ft). Motor leads longer than 30 m (100 ft) may result in reduced

motor torque and less than optimal motor control.

 No load reactors or filters are included in the motor circuit. Output reactors and filters may cause an auto-

tuning detected fault Etn1 and reduce effectiveness of sensorless vector control.

 The motor is not more than 1 hp size smaller than the drive.

 The motor has at least 2 and not more than 8 poles (750...3000 rpm).

 The motor does not have a high slip rating.

Auto tuning is performed upon the first start command after parameter [Auto-tuning drive] (F400) below is set

to 1, 2 and 3 and is normally completed within 3 seconds. During the auto-tuning process, the graphic display

option displays Atn1.

During the auto-tuning process voltage is applied to the motor, although it barely rotates and produces very little

torque.

During the auto-tuning process, the drive checks for an output phase loss detection regardless of the setting of

parameter F605. An output phase loss detection EPH0 will abort the auto-tuning process.

If the auto-tuning process is unsuccessful, the drive will display Etn1. In this event, no results of the aborted

auto-tuning 1 will be saved in the drive, and a manual tuning of parameters [Slip Compensation] (F401), [Auto

Torque Boost] (F402), [Frequency loop gain] (F418) and [Freq. loop stability] (F419) will be required.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ARC FLASH

 During auto-tuning, the motor operates at rated current.

 Do not service the motor during auto-tuning.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

LOSS OF CONTROL

 It is essential that the following parameters uLu, uL, F415 and F417 are correctly configured before starting auto-

tuning.

 When one or more of these parameters have been changed after auto-tuning has been performed, F400 will return 0

and the procedure will have to be repeated.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR

 Conduct auto-tuning only after the motor has been connected and operation completely stopped.

 If auto-tuning is conducted immediately after operation stops, the presence of a residual voltage may result in abnormal

tuning.

F390

[LL for ov.cur. prev.] Lower Limit function for Over Current Prevention

0.0 - UL

0.0

In the present software, motor speed is decreased to 0 Hz in case the stall prevention state is continued.

When motor speed is lower than F390 during stall prevention, motor speed is kept to F390 to increase motor current.

In this situation, motor current is beyond stall prevention level (F601 or F185), therefore over current or over load

detected fault may occur in some case.

Use parameter F480 to fine-tune motor torque during low-speed operation. To increase motor torque in the low-speed

operating range, increase the setting of parameter F480. However, only adjust parameter F480 if an auto tune does

not yield sufficient low-speed torque. Increasing the setting of parameter F480 may increase the motor’s no-load current

during low-speed operation. Do not set this parameter so that the motor’s no-load current exceeds its rated operating

current.

F485

[Stall control coef. 1] Stall prevention control coefficient 1

10 to 250

100

Use parameter F485 to adjust the drive’s response to large, sudden changes in load when the motor is operated above

its rated frequency. If a sudden change in load causes the motor to stall before the drive goes into current limit, gradually

reduce the setting of F485.

F492

[Stall control coef. 2] Stall prevention control coefficient 2

50 to 150

100

Use parameter F492 to adjust the drive’s response to a drop in the line supply voltage when the motor is operated above its

rated frequency. Such a drop in voltage often causes fluctuations in motor current or vibration in the motor. To reduce these dis-

turbances, set parameter F492 to a value from 80 to 90.

Note: Reducing the F492 setting increases the motor running current level.

F494

[Mot. adj coefficient] Motor adjustment coefficient

DO NOT ADJUST.

F495

[Motor voltage coef.] Maximum voltage adjustment coefficient

104%

Use parameter F495 to limit the drive’s maximum output voltage. Increasing this setting increases torque when the

motor is operated above its rated frequency, but may also cause motor vibration. Do not increase the value of F495 if

motor vibrations occur.

F496

[PWM adj. coef.]

Waveform switching adjustment coefficient

0.1 to 14.0 kHz

14.0 kHz

Adjusting the value of parameter F496 may reduce motor noise and vibration during PWM waveform frequency shifts

in the mid-speed operating range.

Motor Control Parameters

Supply Voltage Correction and Motor Voltage Limitation

The setting of parameter F307 determines:

 If the drive’s voltage output will be corrected for fluctuations in the line supply voltage, or

 If the drive’s voltage output will be limited, despite increases in the line supply voltage.

The drive’s output voltage will not exceed the input supply voltage.

If parameter F307 is set to 0 or 2, no corrections are made in the motor voltage gating process in response

to fluctuations in supply voltage. As a result, the V/Hz value of the output waveform to the motor will change in

proportion to the input voltage. Conversely, if F307 is set to 1 or 3, the V/Hz value of the output waveform will

be held constant, despite changes in the supply voltage level.

If parameter F307 is set to 0 or 1, output motor voltage will be limited to the value set by parameter

[Motor rated voltage] (uLu) (see page 74), even if the input supply voltage rises. If F307 is set to 2 or 3,

output motor voltage can rise above the level set by uLu if the input supply voltage rises above the motor rated

voltage.

If parameter [Mot cont. mode sel.] (Pt) is set to a value of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, the supply voltage is corrected,

regardless of the setting of parameter F307.

The diagrams below illustrate the impact of each setting of parameter F307.
