Motor data identification: Select the method which the inverter uses to measure the data of
the connected motor:
● OFF: Motor data is not measured.
STIL ROT: Recommended setting: Measure the motor data at standstill and with the
motor rotating.
The inverter switches off the motor after the motor data identification has been
completed.
● STILL: Default setting: Measure the motor data at standstill.
The inverter switches off the motor after the motor data identification has been
completed.
Select this setting if the motor cannot rotate freely – for example, if the traversing range is
mechanically limited.
● ROT: Measure the motor data with the motor rotating.
The inverter switches off the motor after the motor data identification has been
completed.
● ST RT OP: setting same as STIL ROT.
The motor accelerates to the currently set setpoint after the motor data identification.
● STILL OP: setting same as STILL.
After the motor data identification, the motor accelerates to the currently set setpoint.
Complete quick commissioning:
● Switch over the display using an arrow key: nO → YES
● Press the OK key.
You have completed quick commissioning.
Identifying the motor data and optimizing the closed-loop control
The inverter has several techniques to automatically identify the motor data and optimize the
speed control.
To start the motor data identification routine, you must switch-on the motor via the terminal
strip, fieldbus or from the operator panel.
Risk of death due to machine motion while motor data identification is active
For the stationary measurement, the motor can make several rotations. The rotating
measurement accelerates the motor up to its rated speed. Secure dangerous machine
parts before starting motor data identification:
• Before switching on, ensure that nobody is working on the machine or located within its
working area.
• Secure the machine's work area against unintended access.
• Lower hanging/suspended loads to the floor.

● You selected a method of motor data identification during quick commissioning, e.g.
measuring motor data while the motor is stationary.
When quick commissioning is complete, the inverter issues alarm A07991.
● The motor has cooled down to the ambient temperature.
An excessively high motor temperature falsifies the motor data identification results.
Procedure when using the BOP-2 operator panel
To start the motor data identification, proceed as follows:
Press the HAND/AUTO key.
The BOP-2 displays the symbol indicating manual operation.
Switch on the motor.
During motor data identification, "MOT-ID" flashes on the BOP-2.
If the inverter again outputs alarm A07991, then it waits for a new ON command to start the
rotating measurement.
If the inverter does not output alarm A07991, switch off the motor as described below, and
switch over the inverter control from HAND to AUTO.
Switch on the motor to start the rotating measurement.
During motor data identification, "MOT-ID" flashes on the BOP-2.
The motor data identification can take up to 2 minutes depending on the rated motor power.
Depending on the setting, after motor data identification has been completed, the inverter
switches off the motor - or it accelerates it to the setpoint.
If required, switch off the motor.
Switch the inverter control from HAND to AUTO.
You have completed the motor data identification.
