Defines the maximum switching frequency that can be used by the drive.
See the Drive User Guide for drive derating data.
Defines the auto-tune test to be performed.
There are two autotune tests available in open loop mode, a stationary and a rotating test. A rotating 
autotune should be used whenever possible so the measured value of power factor of the motor is 
used by the drive.
1. A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is not possible to remove the 
load from the motor shaft. To perform a Stationary autotune, set Pr 00.038 to 1, 
2. A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is unloaded. A rotating autotune first 
performs a stationary autotune, as above, then a rotating test is performed in which the motor is 
accelerated with currently selected ramps up to a frequency of Rated Frequency (00.039) x 2/3, 
and the frequency is maintained at that level for 4 seconds. To perform a Rotating autotune, set 
Pr 00.038 to 2.
Following the completion of an autotune test the drive will go into the inhibit state. The drive must be 
placed into a controlled disable condition before the drive can be made to run at the required 
reference. The drive can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the signal from 
terminal 11, setting the Drive Enable to OFF (0). For further information, refer to the Drive User Guide

A rotating autotune will cause the motor to accelerate up to 2/3 base speed in the 
direction selected regardless of the reference provided. Once complete the motor will 
coast to a stop. The enable signal must be removed before the drive can be made to run 
at the required reference.The drive can be stopped at any time by removing the run 
signal or removing the drive enable.
