Speed command
■ Function
VF-AS3 has speed control that controls the rotation of a motor and torque control that controls a power necessary for
constant tension control such as winding control.
Torque control can be used with a motor speed sensor or without it. For a machine requiring torque accuracy, use the
control with sensor.
Note 1) For torque control with sensor, an encoder feedback option "VEC008Z" is required.
■ Difference from speed control
1. What is speed control
Inverter control generally uses speed control.
It gives an inverter a command of a desired rotational speed so that the inverter can control the motor to rotate at
the speed as commanded. Therefore, the speed becomes constant regardless of the size of load.

2. What is torque control
Inverter
M
Torque command
Torque control gives the inverter a command of a torque to be applied to a load machine, and the inverter controls
so that this torque command and the load torque should match. Therefore, the speed is decreased with a larger
load and increased with a smaller load.
