Frequency Control Methods
The Kinetix 5500 servo drives support three open-loop frequency control
methods. These are the choices:
• Basic Volts/Hertz - This method is used in single asynchronous-motor
applications
•Basic Volts/Hertz - Fan Pump - This method is similar to Basic Volts/
Hertz, but is specifically tailored for fan/pump applications
• Sensorless Vector with Slip Compensation - This method is used for
most constant torque applications. Provides excellent starting,
acceleration, and running torque
To configure your induction motor in the Logix Designer application, refer to
Configure Induction-motor Frequency-control Axis Properties
on page 130.
Open-loop frequency control is suitable in applications such as conveyors,
pumps, and fans. Features include the following:
• Start Boost and Run Boost
• Electronic motor thermal-overload protection per Class 10
requirements
• Two skip frequencies, in which the drive does not operate
• All three-phase induction motors, suitable for variable speed drive
(VFD) operation, are supported
