The start release is done by actuating one of the digital inputs with 
+24 V:
• Terminal 8: FWD = Clockwise rotating field (Forward Run)
• Terminal 9: REV = Counterclockwise rotating field (Reverse 
Run)
The control commands are interlocked (exclusive OR) and require 
a rising voltage edge.
The start release (FWD, REV) is shown in the top status line (LCD 
display) by the arrow (
D) switching from STOP to RUN.
The frequency is shown with a minus sign with a start release with 
a left rotating field (REV).
You can now set the output frequency (0 – 50 Hz) and therefore 
the speed of the connected ac motor (0 – n
motor
) with the setpoint 
value potentiometer via terminal 2 (proportional voltage signal 
0 – +10 V). The change in output frequency here is delayed based 
on the specified acceleration and deceleration ramps. In the 
factory settings, these times are set to 3 seconds.
The acceleration and deceleration ramps specify the time change 
for the output frequency: from zero to f
max 
(FS = 50 Hz) or from 
f
max
 back to zero.
figure 59 on page 59 shows a good example of the process, if the 
release signal (FWD/REV) is switched on and the maximum 
setpoint voltage (+10 V) is applied. The speed of the motor follows 
the output frequency depending on the load and moment of 
inertia (slip), from zero to n
max
.
If the release signal (FWD, REV) is switched off during operation, 
the inverter is blocked immediately (STOP). The motor comes to an 
uncontrolled stop (see a in figure 59, page 59).
A controlled run-down can be set using parameter P6.8 (STOP 
function) (P6.8 = 1).
The relevant deceleration time is set in parameter P6.6. The 
acceleration time is set in parameter P6.5.
Information on settings and the description of the parameters used 
here is provided in Section “Drives control (P6)”, page 88.

By actuating the OK button, you can set the display 
mode to stay on the value for the output frequency 
(0.00 Hz).

The stop command can also be given via the STOP 
button on the operating unit. The STOP button is 
active in all operating modes. It can be disabled with 
parameter (P6.16 = 0).
