Issue Number: 2
Set accel / 
decel rates
• Acceleration rate in Pr 00.003 (s/1000 rpm)
• Deceleration rate in Pr 00.004 (s/1000 rpm) (If braking resistor 
installed, set Pr 00.015 = Fast. Also ensure Pr 10.030, Pr 10.031 and 
Pr 10.061 are set correctly, otherwise premature ‘Brake R Too Hot’ 
trips may be seen).
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. The drive is able to perform a 
stationary, rotating, mechanical load measurement or locked rotor test 
autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is 
enabled. It is suggested that a rotating autotune is used for accurate 
measurement for position feedback phase angle. 
Autotune 
(cont)
To perform an autotune:
•Set Pr 00.040 = 1 for a stationary autotune, Pr 00.040 = 2 for a 
rotating autotune. 
• Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27).
• Close the drive enable signal (terminal 31). The lower display will 
flash 'Autotune' while the drive is performing the test.
• Wait for the drive to display 'Ready' or 'Inhibit' and for the motor to 
come to a standstill.
If the drive trips it cannot be reset until the drive enable signal (terminal 
31) has been removed.
• Remove the drive enabled and run signal from the drive.
Save 
parameters
Select 'Save Parameters' in Pr mm.000 (alternatively enter a value of 
1000 in Pr mm.000) and press red   reset button or toggle the 
reset digital input. 
Run Drive is now ready to run
Action Detail
The rotating autotune will rotate the motor by up to 2 
mechanical revolutions in the direction selected, regardless of 
the reference provided. After a short delay, the motor is further 
rotated through a electrical revolution. 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.
