Autotune
The drive is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating autotune. 
The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is enabled. A 
stationary autotune will give moderate performance whereas a rotating 
autotune will give improved performance as it measures the actual 
values of the motor parameters required by the drive.
To perform an auto-tune:
•Set Pr 00.040 = 1 for a stationary autotune or set Pr 00.040 = 2 for a 
rotating autotune.
• Close the drive enable signal (terminal 31). The drive will display 
’Ready’ or ‘Inhibit’.
• Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27). The lower display will flash 
’Autotune’ while the drive is performing the autotune.
• Wait for the drive to display ’Ready’ or ‘Inhibit’ and for the motor to 
come to a standstill.
• Remove the drive enable and run signal from the drive.
