Control")
In this motor control mode, the inverter adapts the motor voltage to the
requirements of the load. Especially at speeds lower than 50 % of the rated
speed and a reduced torque, losses in the motor and in the inverter can be
reduced. Hence, the usually bad efficiency of the drive in the partial load
operational range is significantly increased.
Being a component of a machine which includes a speed-variable drive system, the inverter needs
to be adjusted to its drive task and the motor. The inverter is adjusted by changing parameters
which are saved in the memory module. The parameters can be accessed by keypad (diagnosis
terminal), by »EASY Starter« or by the »Engineer«. Access is also possible by a master control via
fieldbus communication. For this purpose, various communication units are available, e.g. AS-i,
CANopen, and PROFIBUS.
Danger!
In general, changing a parameter causes an immediate response in the inverter!
• This may lead to an undesirable response at the motor shaft when the inverter has
been enabled!
• Setpoint sources, for instance, may switch over all of a sudden (e.g. when configuring
the signal source for the main setpoint).
Certain device commands or settings which may cause critical states of drive behaviour
constitute exceptions. Such parameter changes are only possible if the inverter is
inhibited. Otherwise, a corresponding error message will be issued.
Signal inputs for control and setpoint signals

Signal outputs for status and actual value signals
[2-1]Adaptation of the drive solution via parameter setting
The following technology applications integrated in the inverter 8400 motec provide the main
signal flow for the implementation of a general or a special drive solution:
Technology application "Actuating drive speed"
This preset technology application serves to solve speed-controlled drive tasks, e.g.
conveyor drives (interconnected), extruders, test benches, vibrators, travelling drives,
presses, machining systems, metering units.
This technology application available from version 04.01.00 provides a speed and
torque control by means of "AC Drive Profile". For this purpose, the Communication
Unit EtherNet/IP™ is required.
"Switch-off positioning" technology application
This technology application available from version 05.00.00 is used to solve speedcontrolled drive tasks which require a pre-switch off or stopping at certain positions,
e.g. roller conveyors and conveying belts. The pre-switch off is implemented by
connecting switch-off sensors.
Detailed information on each technology application can be found in the main chapter
2.2Selection of the appropriate commissioning tool
There are several possibilities for commissioning the 8400 motec inverter:
Commissioning via keypad X400 (or diagnosis terminal X400)
The keypad is an alternative to the PC for the local operation, parameterisation, and
diagnostics in a simple manner. The keypad is especially suited for test and
demonstration purposes and for the case that only few parameters have to be
adapted.
Note:
• Use the diagnosis terminal for the 8400 motec inverter. The diagnosis terminal
combines the keypad with a housing and a connecting cable.
• The description how to make the settings with the keypad also applies to the
diagnosis terminal.
Commissioning with PC and »EASY Starter«
The »EASY Starter« is a Lenze tool for easy online diagnostics, parameter setting and
commissioning of the inverter.
Commissioning with PC and »Engineer«
The »Engineer« is a Lenze engineering software for parameter setting across all
devices, configuring and diagnosing individual components (as for instance inverters,
industrial PCs, motors, I/O systems) and machine control systems.
Tip!
The Engineering tools »EASY Starter« and »Engineer StateLevel« are provided free of charge
in the internet:
http://www.Lenze.com
For communication between PC and inverter, the USB diagnostic adapter can be used for
instance (see the following subchapter).

Fast communication via diagnostic interface
From version 06.01.00, the diagnostic interface also supports the fast communication with
57,600 Baud (instead of 4,800 Baud).
• If no read or write access takes place via the diagnostic interface for 3.5 s, it is changed over to
normal communication again with 4,800 Baud.
• 57,600 Baud are only possible if the 8400 motec comes with the fast diagnostic interface and
an »Engineer« from version 2.19 or a keypad from firmware version 4.2 is connected.
• The current baud rate of the diagnostic interface is displayed in C01905
All parameters for inverter parameterising or monitoring are saved as so-called "codes".
• The codes are numbered and indicated by the prefix "C" before the code, e.g. "C00002".
• Moreover, each code has a name and specific attributes, as for example access type (reading,
writing), data type, limit values and default setting ("Lenze setting").
• For the sake of clarity, some codes contain "subcodes" for saving parameters. This Manual uses
a slash "/" as a separator between code and subcode, e.g. C00115/1".
• According to their functionality, the parameters are divided into three groups:
• Setting parameters: For specifying setpoints and for setting device / monitoring functions.
• Configuration parameters: For configuring signal connections and terminal assignments.
• Diagnostic/display parameters: For displaying device-internal process factors, current actual
values and status messages. These are read-only parameters.

•The Go to param function enables you to reach the corresponding parameter directly.
•The Logbook logs all errors and their chronological history.
•The Diagnostics menu contains diagnostic/display parameters for displaying device-internal
process factors, current actual values and status messages.
2.3.2Change parameter settings with PC and Lenze software
For communication between the PC (including the L-force »EASY Starter« or L-force »Engineer«
software) and the inverter, the USB diagnostic adapter can for instance be used, see the following
illustration. The USB diagnostic adapter is the connection between the PC (free USB port) and the
inverter (diagnostic interface).
[2-3]Exemplary constellation for parameterising the inverter
The All parameters tab in the »EASY Starter« and the »Engineer« provides a quick access to all
parameters of the inverter.
The given categories and subcategories correspond 1:1 to the menus and submenus of the keypad:

Detailed information on how to handle the »Engineer« can be found in the integrated
online help that you can call with the [F1] function key.
2.3.3User menu for quick access to frequently used parameters
When a system is installed, parameters must be changed time and again until the system runs
satisfactorily. The user menu of the inverter contains a selection of frequently used parameters to
be able to access and change these parameters quickly:

Tip!
The user menu can be freely configured in C00517
In the »Engineer«, you can configure the user menu comfortably via the User menu tab (see
»Engineer« online help).
After power-off, wait at least three minutes before working on the inverter. When
removing the memory module, ensure that the inverter is deenergised.
All parameters of the drive system are saved non-volatilely on the memory module. These include
the parameters of the inverter and communication-relevant parameters for the communication
unit used.
The plug-in version is especially suited for
• restoring an application after replacing a device.
• duplicating identical drive tasks within the frequency inverter series8400 motec, e.g. by using
the optionally available EPM Programmer.
Note!
• When the device is switched on, all parameters are automatically loaded from the
memory module to the main memory of the inverter.
• When the DIP1 switch on the S1 DIP switch is in the "ON" position, the inverter
works with the settings made via DIP switches S1 and S2 and displays them in the
corresponding codes.
• The 8400 BaseLine and 8400 motec inverters use the same (grey) memory module.
When handling the memory module, a distinction is drawn between the following scenarios:
Delivery status
• The memory module is plugged into the EPM slot of the drive unit.
• The Lenze setting of the parameters is stored in the memory module.
• The memory module is available as a spare part - without any data.
During operation
• Parameter sets can be saved manually.
• Parameter sets can be loaded manually.
• Parameter changes can be saved automatically.
The memory module can be shifted between these inverters, but the inverter must be
parameterised newly afterwards.
• In the event of a device replacement, the entire parameter data of an axis can be copied to the
replacement device by "taking along" the memory module, so that additional PC or diagnosis
terminal operations are not required.
• When replacing the inverter, the versions of the old and new device are of importance. Before
data are actually transferred, the versions are checked internally. As a general principle, the
following applies:
• Parameter sets of old devices with V 1.0 can be processed on new devices ≥ V1.0
(downward compatibility).
• Parameters of devices with higher versions are not supported on devices with lower versions.
An error message will be issued if the parameter set versions of the two devices are not
compatible.
Saving the parameters in the memory module safe against mains failure
Inverter parameter changes via the »Engineer«, the diagnosis terminal, or a master control via
fieldbus communication will be lost after mains switching of the inverter unless the settings have
been explicitly saved.
You have several options to avoid data loss by saving the parameter sets in the memory module:
• Automatic saving of parameter changes
• Manual saving of parameter settings
Parameter set transfer using the »Engineer«
When an online connection to the inverter has been established, the following transfer functions
can directly be executed via the Toolbar or the Online menu using the L-force »Engineer«:

For device identification, any device name (e.g. wheel drive) with max 32 characters can be set in
C00199/1
2.5.1Automatic acceptance of the device name in the »Engineer«

This mechanism also functions in reverse direction:
If you rename the inverter in the project view via <F2>, you will be asked afterwards if you want to
take over the changed name in C00199/1
for the inverter and saved in the memory module with mains failure protection.
The 8400 motec inverter is commissioned in one of the following ways:
• Commissioning via PC / »Engineer«
• The »Engineer« provides for convenient access to all parameters of the 8400 motec inverter
and hence offers full flexibility in the commissioning process.
• Commissioning with diagnosis terminal
(If only a few parameters have to be adapted)
With regard to this, please observe the Note
for the SLVC control mode, which is provided from version V09.00.00 onwards.
• Commissioning via the DIP switches/potentiometers at the 8400 motec
(for simple applications)
This chapter provides information on how to commission the 8400 motec using the »Engineer«.

3.1Safety instructions with regard to commissioning
General safety instructions
In order to prevent injury to persons or damage to material assets
• check before connecting the mains voltage
• the wiring for completeness, short circuit, and earth fault
• the "emergency stop" function of the entire system
• that the motor circuit configuration (star/delta) is adapted to the output voltage of the
inverter
• the in-phase connection of the motor
• The direction of rotation or the encoder (if available)
• check the setting of the most important drive parameters before enabling the controller
• the V/f rated frequency must be adapted to the motor circuit configuration!
• the drive parameters relevant for your application must be set correctly!
• the configuration of the I/O terminals must be adapted to the wiring!
• ensure that there are no active speed setpoints before enabling the controller
.
:
Danger!
By default, the RFR control input is connected with a bridge to +24 V, meaning that the
inverter is enabled!
• This input can also be used for switching on/off the drive. For this purpose, the bridge
must be replaced by cabling.
Safety instructions with regard to motor operation
Danger!
• For thermal reasons, continuous operation of self-ventilated motors at a low field
frequency and rated motor current is not permissible!
• In the Lenze setting, the Motor temperature monitoring (PTC)
• In the Lenze setting, the Brake resistor monitoring (I2xt)

3.3Trouble-shooting during commissioning
When the »Engineer« is used, trouble during commissioning can be detected and eliminated
conveniently. Proceed as follows:
• Check whether error messages appear in the »Engineer«.
•On the Diagnostics tab, relevant actual states of the inverter and pending error messages are
displayed in a well-arranged visualisation.
• Check whether the DIP switches on the Drive Unit are set correctly.
• The »Engineer« serves to display the setting of the DIO switches S1 / S2 and the
potentiometers P1 - P3 on the Diagnostics tab by clicking the DIP switch button.
• Check the input terminals for their corresponding setpoints.
•The Terminal assignment tab displays the current input/output signals.
• Check the signal flow of the application.
• For this purpose, click the Signal flow button on the Application parameter tab. The displayed
signal flow shows active setpoints and their further processing.
This function extension is supported by the »Engineer« from version 2.15 onwards!
The commissioning wizard 8400 serves to carry out a guided commissioning of the inverter based
on the Lenze setting of the parameters. The set parameters can then be saved in the inverter with
mains failure protection.
Note!

• The chapter "Working with projects" describes, among other things, all options of the
Start-up wizard which are available to create a new »Engineer« project.
The following steps serve to describe a general method for creating a project with the Selectcomponent from catalogue option. For this purpose, individual components ( inverter, motor, etc.)
are selected from selection lists.
1. Start »Engineer«.
2. Create a new project with the Start-up wizard and the Select component from catalogue option:
•In the Component step, select the 8400 motec inverter.
• Select the available communication option in the device modules dialog step.
• Select the "actuating drive speed" application in the Application dialog step.
• Select the other components (motor/gearbox) to be added to the project in the Other components dialog step.
3. Go online.
• After a connection to the inverter has been established, the following status is displayed in
the Status line:
4. Download parameter set.
• This command serves to overwrite the current parameter settings in the inverter by
parameter settings of the »Engineer« project.
1. Select the Application parameters tab from the Workspace.
• The motor control parameters, among other things, can be found on the left:
2. In the Motor control list field (C00006
), select the desired motor control.
Note!
In the Lenze setting, the V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) with linear characteristic is
set in C00006
• V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) is a motor control mode for classic frequency
inverter applications on the basis of a simple and robust control procedure for the
operation of machines with a linear or quadratic load torque characteristic (e.g. fans).
• The presettings of the parameters ensure that the inverter is immediately ready for
operation and the motor works adequately without further parameterisation if an
inverter and a 50 Hz asynchronous machine with matching performances are
assigned to each other.
Also compare the other information on the nameplate to the motor data set in the inverter.
You can find further information in the chapter entitled "Motor selection/Motor data
( 87)
Recommendations for the following application cases:
• If the inverter and motor show great differences in terms of performance:
set the Imax limit (in motor mode) in C00022
• If a higher starting torque is required:

You can find detailed information on the general use of the »Engineer« in the online help
which you can call with [F1].
• The chapter "Working with projects" describes, among other things, all options of the
Start-up wizard which are available to create a new »Engineer« project.
The following steps serve to describe a general method for creating a project with the Selectcomponent from catalogue option. For this purpose, individual components ( inverter, motor, etc.)
are selected from selection lists.
1. Start »Engineer«.
2. Create a new project with the Start-up wizard and the Select component from catalogue option:
•In the Component step, select the 8400 motec inverter.
• Select the available communication option in the device modules dialog step.
•In the Application step, select the "Switch-off positioning" application. (The application can
also be selected any time afterwards via the Application parameter tab or C00005
• Select the other components (motor/gearbox) to be added to the project in the Other components dialog step.

3. Go online.
• After a connection to the inverter has been established, the following status is displayed in
the Status line:
4. Transfer parameter set to the device.
• This command serves to overwrite the current parameter settings in the inverter by
parameter settings of the »Engineer« project.
1. Select the Application parameters tab from the Workspace.
• The motor control parameters, among other things, can be found on the left:
2. In the Motor control list field (C00006
), select the desired motor control.
Note!
In the Lenze setting, the V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) with linear characteristic is
set in C00006
• V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) is a motor control mode for classic frequency
inverter applications on the basis of a simple and robust control procedure for the
operation of machines with a linear or quadratic load torque characteristic (e.g. fans).
• The presettings of the parameters ensure that the inverter is immediately ready for
operation and the motor works adequately without further parameterisation if an
inverter and a 50 Hz asynchronous machine with matching performances are
assigned to each other.
Also compare the other information on the nameplate to the motor data set in the inverter.
You can find further information in the chapter entitled "Motor selection/Motor data
( 87)
Recommendations for the following application cases:
• If the inverter and motor show great differences in terms of performance:
set the Imax limit (in motor mode) in C00022
• If a higher starting torque is required:
In idle state of the motor, set the Vmin boost in C00016

For the purpose of testing and demonstration and when an online connection has been established,
the PC manual control enables the manual control of various drive functions from the »Engineer«.
Supported drive functions:
• Speed control (follow speed setpoint)
• Activate/deactivate quick stop
More control functions:
• Reset error message
• Set digital/analog outputs (in preparation)
Diagnostic functions:
• Display of the actual speed value and motor current (as time characteristic)
• Display of the current device status

• Display of the status of the digital/analog inputs (in preparation)
Activate PC manual control
Stop!
PC manual control must be explicitly activated by the user.
If PC manual control is activated, the inverter is inhibited via device command (C00002/
16) first.
Note!
With active PC manual control:
The online connection between PC and controller is monitored by the inverter.
• When the online connection is interrupted for more than 2 s, the "Fault" error
response is triggered, i.e. the motor becomes torqueless and is coasting unless it is
already at a standstill.
PC manual control provides the Motion Control Kernel and the motor interface with all
required control signals and setpoint signals.
• The available application (function block interconnection) is now decoupled from
these interfaces, but is continued to be processed and remains unchanged.
• It does not matter what type of motor control is set in C00006
The PC manual control operator control serves to simply make the drive rotate in the "speed
follower" mode without the need to set control parameters or feedback systems.

deceleration time parameterised in C00105
•Via the Deactivate quick stop (QSP) button, the quick stop can be deactivated.
•Via the << CCW and CW >> buttons, the direction of rotation can be changed.
3.8Control via Field Package ("key-operated switch operation")
This function extension is only available from version 04.00.00!
Stop!
If manual control is switched off again via key-operated switch, the control of the drive
will be immediately taken over by the terminal or bus control. Available starting
commands are directly accepted unless the controller is inhibited.
In the 8400 motec device version with Field Package, both operator buttons are connected to the
digital inputs DI3, DI4 and DI5 and provide the following function:
•Special case - direction of rotation is preselected and manual control is switched on via keyoperated switch: The drive is stopped via quick stop. The blue LED status display is blinking to
call the user's attention to the operating error.
• The rotation direction switch has to be first brought into "stop" position before the drive will
be ramped up to setpoint speed.
•Special case - direction of rotation of rotation is preselected and manual control is switched
off via key-operated switch: The drive is stopped via quick stop. The blue LED status display is
blinking during quick stop. When the drive has reached standstill, the quick stop function is
stopped and the drive is again guided to the speed specified by the application.
• Up to and including version 04.xx.xx, the QSP ramp in C00105
After 5 s, the quick stop function is aborted and the drive is again led to the speed specified

In contrast to other Lenze inverters, the 8400 motec inverter has a reduced DC-bus capacity. This
entails some specific characteristics that the user must take into consideration.
The closed design of the 8400 motec inverter and the heat input of the motor increase the internal
temperature. However, the use of film capacitors in the DC bus provides for a very long service life.
The used capacitors have a lower capacity. This causes the following:
• Less energy can be stored in the DC bus.
• The DC-bus voltage increases faster during braking operation.
• The DC-bus voltage has a higher voltage ripple.
• The medium DC-bus voltage is slightly reduced.
• The inverter cannot be connected to the 1-phase mains.
• The oscillation damping in C00234
The voltage ripple in the DC bus must not be transmitted to the motor. Otherwise a varying torque
would be caused. The compensation of the voltage ripple causes the maximum motor voltage to
only reach 88 % of the mains voltage (see also display of the motor voltage in C00052

).
The reduced energy absorption of the DC bus may cause special measures to be taken for braking
loads . This can con cern e.g. t he use of an external b rake resis tor or the cho ice of a lar ger decele ratio n
time.
The motor data term comprises all parameters that only depend on the motor and that only
characterise the electrical behaviour of the machine. The motor data are independent of the
application in which the inverter and the motor are used.
Proceed as follows to open the dialog for parameterising the motor data:
1. »Engineer« Go to the Project view and select the 8400 motec inverter.
2. Select the Application parameters tab from the Workspace.
3. Go to the Overview dialog level and click the following button:
•Via the From Motor Catalogue button, the motor catalogue can be opened, especially to select
a Lenze motor.
•Via the From inverter... button, the motor data set in the inverter can be copied to the
»Engineer« when an online connection has been established.
•Via the Identification run... button, various motor data can be automatically identified when an
online connection to the inverter has been established. If you are not using a Lenze motor, we
recommend an identification run to accept the motor data Automatic motor data

Sensorless vector control in particular requires the motor data parameters to be set. The
motor data comprise the data of the motor nameplate and the data of the motor
equivalent circuit.
If the motor has been selected via the »Engineer« motor catalogue or the motor data

Actual values
When an online connection to the inverter has been established, the following actual values are
displayed in the parameterisation dialog under "Actual values":
If a third party manufacturer's motor is used, the displayed motor data can exactly be adapted to
the real motor by clicking the From project... button and selecting the "Own motor settings" entry
from the Motor selection dialog box afterwards. For this purpose, the data of the motor nameplate
and the equivalent circuit diagram must be available.
Tip!
For a better concentricity factor, we recommend to perform motor parameter
identification of the third party manufacturer's motor first. The motor parameters can be
manually adapted afterwards.
Improving the concentricity factor includes
• the adjustment of the inverter error characteristic to the drive system and
• the knowledge of the motor cable resistance.
Both factors are determined in the course of motor parameter identification.
5.2.1Selecting a motor from the motor catalogue in the »Engineer«
If you tick the Motor control field in the "Other components" dialog when the inverter is inserted
into the project, the motor for the inverter can be selected from the motor catalogue in another
dialog:
• Alternatively, the motor can be inserted into the project at a later time via the Insert a component command.
•Go to the Application parameters tab in the Overview Motor data dialog level and click the
From motor catalogue... button to also reach the motor catalogue for the selection of another
motor.
If a motor is selected from the motor catalogue at a later time, the Use motor's default values dialog
box is displayed afterwards which includes all motor data of the selected motor. Please select here
which of the default values are to be copied to the inverter:
Tip!
If a third party manufacturer's motor is used, select a Lenze motor from the motor
catalogue first which is similar in terms of current, voltage and speed rating. Adapt the
preselected motor data exactly to the real motor afterwards.
Via the "Identify motor parameters" device command (C00002/23), the inverter characteristic, the
influences of the motor cable, and the motor parameters listed in the table below can be identified
automatically:

Danger!
During motor parameter identification, the motor is energised via the outputs U, V and
W of the inverter!
Stop!
If motor parameter identification is aborted, unstable drive behaviour may be the result!
Note!
• We strongly recommend motor parameter identification before the initial
commissioning of the sensorless vector control (SLVC).
• The motor parameter identification must be carried out when the motor is cold!
• The load machine may remain connected. Holding brakes, if present, may remain in
the braking position.
• With an idling motor, a small angular offset may occur at the motor shaft.
• The amplitude of the rated motor current (C00088
resistance. If the rated motor current amounts to less than 60 % of the rated inverter
current, at least 60 % of the rated inverter current will be injected to ensure sufficient
motor parameter identification accuracy.
How to carry out automatic motor parameter identification:
1. Inhibit the inverter if it is enabled, e.g. via the C00002/16
signal at the RFR terminal.
2. Wait until the drive is at standstill.
3. Transfer the nameplate data to the following codes:
• C00081
• C00087
• C00088
• C00089
• C00090
• C00091
4. Start motor parameter identification via the C00002/23
5. Inverter is re-enabled.
• Motor parameter identification starts.
• The motor parameter identification takes approx. 30 s.
• The identification is completed if the "0: Off / ready" message is displayed in C00002/23
6. Inhibit inverter again.

.
Motor parameter identification may be aborted by the inverter if a special motor (e.g.
mid-frequency motor) is used or if there is a large deviation between inverter and motor
power.
Another cause for the abort of the motor parameter identification could be the
implausibility of the entered nameplate data, e.g. the entry P = 0 kW for the motor
power.
The 8400 motec inverter supports various modes for motor control (open loop or closed loop).
• The V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) is preset with a linear characteristic.
• The control mode can be selected in the »Engineer« on the Application parameter tab via the
Motor control (C00006
) list field:
•A click on the Motor control... button leads you to the parameterisation dialog of the selected
motor control.
Tip!
In order to make the selection of the motor control easier, we provide a selection help with
recommendations and alternatives for standard applications in the subchapter entitled
"Selection help
The following section briefly describe the control modes. A reference to more details can be found
at the end of each section.
The V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) is a motor control mode for standard frequency inverter
applications based on a simple and robust control process which is suitable for the operation of
machines with linear or square-law load torque characteristic (e.g. fans). Furthermore, this motor
control mode is also suitable for special motors. Due to the low parameterisation effort,
commissioning of such applications is fast and easy.
The V
behaviour are dimensioned for machines with power adaptations to the inverter in the Lenze
setting.
V/f characteristic control (VFCplus) ( 103)
Energy-saving V/f characteristic control (VFCplusEco)
In contrast to the V/f characteristic control mode (VFCplus), this motor control mode uses a cosϕ
control in partial load operational range to automatically reduce the power loss in the machine
(energy optimisation).
The motor data required for the cosϕ control and the V

adaptations to the inverter in the Lenze setting.
The required motor data (motor rotor resistance, motor stator resistance, motor stator leakage
inductance and mutual motor inductance) only affect the extent of energy optimisation but not the
stability.

) required for optimising the drive behaviour are dimensioned for machines with power
In case of applications with dynamically very high sudden load variations from the unloaded
operation, this motor control mode should not be used since a motor stalling cannot be excluded.
Energy optimisation for dynamic applications is not possible with this motor control mode.
V/f characteristic control - energy-saving (VFCplusEco) ( 114)
V/f control (VFCplus + encoder)
From version 02.00.00
The V/f control can be selected for operating asynchronous motors with speed feedback. With this
motor control, a slip regulator can be additionally parameterised which adjusts the actual speed
value dynamically to the speed setpoint.
Sensorless (field-oriented) vector control is based on a decoupled, separate control for the torqueproducing and the field-producing current component. In addition, the actual speed is
reconstructed by means of a motor model so that a speed sensor is not required.
In comparison to the V/f characteristic control without feedback, the following can be achieved by
means of sensorless vector control SLVC:
• A higher maximum torque throughout the entire speed range
• A higher speed accuracy
• A higher concentricity factor
• A higher level of efficiency
• The implementation of torque-actuated operation with speed limitation
• The limitation of the maximum torque in motor and generator mode for speed-actuated
operation
Tip!
If a high torque without feedback is to be provided at small speeds, we recommend the
"Sensorless vector control" motor control mode.
Sensorless vector control (SLVC) ( 135)
Sensorless control for synchronous motors (SLPSM)
From version 03.01.00
This sensorless control enables an encoderless control of synchronous motors. The process is based
on field-oriented control within a higher speed range (e.g. > 10 % of the rated motor speed). The
actual speed value and rotor position are reconstructed via a motor model.
Standard applications for this control type are pumps and fans, horizontal materials handling and
simple positioning technology.
