4.2 Parameter Settings for Applications 
Speed Search 
Applications  Purpose  Functions 
Related 
Parameters
Windmills, winding 
machines, fans and all 
inertia loads 
Restart a free-running 
motor 
Before the free-running motor stops 
completely, the AC motor drive auto-searches 
the motor speed and accelerates when its 
speed is the same as the motor speed. 
08.04–08.08
 
DC Brake before Running 
Applications  Purpose  Functions 
Related 
Parameters
Windmills, fans, pumps 
and others rotate freely 
without power due to 
wind or flow 
Keep the free-running 
motor at standstill 
If the running direction of the free-running 
motor is not steady, execute DC brake before 
start-up.

Energy Saving 
Applications  Purpose  Functions 
Related 
Parameters
Punching machines, 
fans, pumps and 
precision machinery 
Save energy and reduce 
vibration 
Save energy when the AC motor drive runs at 
constant speed, yet has full power 
acceleration and deceleration. For precision 
machinery, it also helps reduce vibration.

Eight-step Speed Operation 
Applications  Purpose  Functions 
Related 
Parameters
Conveying machinery 
Cyclic operation at multi-
step speed 
To control eight-step speed (including master 
frequency) and duration by simple contact 
signals.

Switching Acceleration and Deceleration Time 
Applications  Purpose  Functions 
Related 
Parameters
Auto-turntable for 
conveying machinery 
Switch acceleration and 
deceleration time through 
external signal 
When an AC motor drive drives two or more 
motors, it can reach a high-speed but still start 
and stop smoothly.

04.06–04.08
 
Overheating Warning 
Applications  Purpose  Functions 
Related 
Parameters 
Air conditioners  Safety measure 
When an AC motor drive overheats, a 
thermal sensor triggers the overheating 
warning.
