5.3 Description of Function Codes 5.3.1 F codes (Fundamental functions) 
 
 
•  At  auto-restarting,  inverters  waits  2  seconds  for  input  of  run  command,  however,  if  allowable 
momentary power failure time (H16) is elapsed after the state is judged as power failure, the state of 
run command input waiting for 2 seconds will be canceled and normal starting operation is performed. 
•  When coast to stop command “BX” is entered during power failure, momentary power failure restart 
waiting state is released and return to normal run mode, and when run command is inputted, start from 
normal starting frequency. 
•  Detection of momentary power failure within the inverter is performed by detecting DC link bus voltage 
drop of the inverter. With the structure in which a magnetic contactor is equipped on the output side of 
the inverter, there will be no operation power of the magnetic contactor at momentary power failure 
and  the  magnetic contactor  becomes at  open  state. When the  magnetic contactor  becomes open, 
connection of inverter and motor is released and load of the inverter is shutdown. Therefore, it becomes 
difficult to decrease DC link bus voltage of the inverter and it may not be judged as a momentary power 
failure.  If  this  is  the  case,  momentary  power  failure  restart  will  not  be  performed  normal.  As  a 
countermeasure against this case, by connecting auxiliary contact signal of the magnetic contactor to 
the interlock signal “IL” it is possible to detect momentary power failure without fail. 
  Function code E01 to E09 (data = 22) 
No momentary power failure has occurred. 
A momentary power failure has occurred.   
(Restart after a momentary power failure enabled)   
Restart mode after momentary power failure (mode selection) 
 
When  motor  speed  decreases  during  momentary  power  failure,  and  when  restarting  from  frequency  of  before 
momentary  power  failure  after  power  is  recovered  (auto-restarting),  current  limiter  becomes  active  and  output 
frequency of the inverter decreases automatically. When output frequency and motor rotation speed synchronize, 
the speed is accelerated up to the original output frequency. Refer to the figure below. However, it is necessary to 
enable instantaneous overcurrent limiting (H12 = 1) to bring in synchronization of the motor. 
 
 
•  Auto-restarting after momentary power failure “IPF” 
During momentary power failure auto-restarting “IPF” signal is turned on until returning to original frequency after 
auto-restarting  after  momentary  power  failure  occurred.  When  “IPF”:  is  turned  ON,  motor  speed  decreases, 
therefore, take necessary measures. ( Function codes E20 to E24, E27 (data = 6))
