97 Motor control
Motor model settings.
97.03 Slip gain Defines the slip gain which is used to improve the estimated 
motor slip. 100% means full slip gain; 0% means no slip gain. 
The default value is 100%. Other values can be used if a 
static speed error is detected despite having the setting at full 
slip gain.
Example (with nominal load and nominal slip of 40 rpm): A 
1000 rpm constant speed reference is given to the drive. 
Despite having full slip gain (= 100%), a manual tachometer 
measurement from the motor axis gives a speed value of 998 
rpm. The static speed error is 1000 rpm - 998 rpm = 2 rpm. To 
compensate the error, the slip gain should be increased to 
105% (2 rpm / 40 rpm = 5%).
100%
0 … 200% Slip gain. 1 = 1%
97.04 Voltage reserve Defines the minimum allowed voltage reserve. When the 
voltage reserve has decreased to the set value, the drive 
enters the field weakening area.
Note: This is an expert level parameter and should not be 
adjusted without appropriate skill.
If the intermediate circuit DC voltage U
dc
 = 550 V and the 
voltage reserve is 5%, the rms value of the maximum output 
voltage in steady-state operation is 
0.95 × 550 V / sqrt(2) = 369 V
The dynamic performance of the motor control in the field 
weakening area can be improved by increasing the voltage 
reserve value, but the drive enters the field weakening area 
earlier.
-2%
-4 … 50% Voltage reserve. 1 = 1%
97.05 Flux braking Defines the level of flux braking power. (Other stopping and 
braking modes can be configured in parameter group 21 
Start/stop mode).
See section Flux braking (page 51).
Note: This is an expert level parameter and should not be 
adjusted without appropriate skill.
Disabled
Disabled Flux braking is disabled. 0
Moderate Flux level is limited during the braking. Deceleration time is 
longer compared to full braking.
1
Full Maximum braking power. Almost all available current is used 
to convert the mechanical braking energy to thermal energy in 
the motor.
2
97.06 Flux reference 
select
Defines the source of flux reference.
Note: This is an expert level parameter and should not be 
adjusted without appropriate skill.

97.07 User flux reference Defines the flux reference when parameter 97.06 Flux 
reference select is set to User flux reference.
