7 Running the motor
This section takes a new user through all the essential steps to running a motor for the first time. 
Table 7-1 Open Loop and RFC-A
Action Detail
Before power up
Ensure:
• The drive enable signal is not given, terminal 11 is open
• The run signal is not given, terminal 12/13 is open
• The motor is connected to the drive
• The motor connection is correct for the drive Δ or Y
• The correct supply voltage is connected to the drive
Power up the drive
The default setting is Open Loop vector mode. For RFC-A mode set  
Pr 00.079 to RFC-A, then press the   stop/reset button to save 
the parameters.
Ensure:
• The drive displays: Inh
Enter minimum and 
maximum speeds
Enter:
• Minimum speed Pr 00.001 (Hz)
• Maximum speed Pr 00.002 (Hz)
Enter accel and 
decel rates
Enter:
• Acceleration rate Pr 00.003 (s/100 Hz)
• Deceleration rate Pr 00.004 (s/100 Hz)
Enter motor 
nameplate details
Enter:
• Motor rated current in Pr 00.006 (A)
• Motor rated speed in Pr 00.007 (rpm)
• Motor rated voltage in Pr 00.008 (V)
• Motor rated power factor in Pr 00.009
• If the motor is not a standard 50/60 Hz motor, set Pr 00.039 
accordingly
Ready to autotune
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. 
To perform an autotune:
•Set Pr 00.038 = 1 for a stationary autotune or set Pr 00.038 = 2 
for a rotating autotune
• Close the drive enable signal (apply +24 V to terminal 11). The 
drive will display ’Rdy’.
• Close the run signal (apply +24 V to terminal 12 or 13). The  
display will flash ’tuning’ while the drive is performing the 
autotune.
• Wait for the drive to display ‘Inh’ and for the motor to come to a 
standstill. 
• Remove the drive enable and run signal from the drive.
Autotune complete
When the autotune has been completed,
 
Pr 
00.038
 will be set to 0 
Tuning of frequency 
controller gains 
(RFC-A mode only)
Depending on the application, the frequency controller gains (Pr 
00.065
 
and Pr 
00.066
) may need to be adjusted.
Save parameters
Save parameters
Select ‘SAVE’ in Pr mm.000 (alternatively enter a value of 1001) and 
press the  Stop / Reset button to save parameters.
Ready to run
Run The drive is now ready to run the motor.
Increasing and 
decreasing speed
Turning the speed potentiometer will increase and decrease the 
speed of the motor.
Stopping
To stop the motor under ramp control, open either the run forward or 
run reverse terminal. If the enable terminal is opened while the motor 
is running, the motor will coast to a stop.
