Settings, I/O and diagnostics on the control panel 43
The table below provides detailed information about the available setting items in the
Motor menu.
Menu item Description Corresponding
parameter
Control mode Selects whether to use scalar or vector control
mode.
For information on scalar control mode, see Speed
compensated stop on page 121.
For information on vector control mode, see Rush
control on page 118.
99.04 Motor control
mode
Nominal values Enter the motor's nominal values from the motor's
nameplate.
99.06 Motor nominal
current …
99.12 Motor nominal
torque
Thermal protection
estimated
The settings in this submenu are meant to protect
the motor from overheating by automatically
triggering a fault or warning above a certain
temperature.
By default, motor thermal estimate protection is on.
We recommend checking the values for the
protection to function properly.
For more information, see Motor thermal protection
on page 127.
35 Motor thermal
protection
Thermal protection
measured
The settings in this submenu are meant to protect
the motor with a thermal measurement from
overheating by automatically triggering a fault or
warning above a certain temperature.
For more information, see Motor thermal protection
on page 127.

protection
Start mode: Sets how the drive starts the motor (e.g. pre-
magnetize or not).
21 Start/stop mode
Flux braking: Sets how much current to use for braking, ie. how
the motor is magnetized before starting. For more
information, see Flux braking on page 114.
97.05 Flux braking
U/f ratio: The form of voltage to frequency ratio below field
weakening point. For more information, see Speed
compensated stop on page 121.
97.20 U/F ratio
IR compensation: Sets how much to boost voltage at zero speed.
Increase this for higher break-away torque. For
more information, see IR compensation for scalar
motor control on page 111.
97.13 IR compensation
Pre-heating Turns pre-heating on or off. The drive can prevent
condensation in a stopped motor by feeding it a
fixed current (% of motor nominal current). Use in
humid or cold conditions to prevent condensation.

Phase order: If the motor turns in the wrong direction, change
this setting to fix the direction instead of changing
the phase order on the motor cable.
