5.3 Description of Function Codes 5.3.4 P codes (Motor 1 parameters) 
 
 
When adopting vector control with sensor for synchronous motors, the starting operation will be as shown in the 
following table based on each function code combination. 
16: Vector 
control with 
sensor for PM 
2: A, B phase 90° 
phase difference, 
Z phase 
999 
(Offset not 
adjusted) 
0: Current draw method 
3: Current draw method 
for IPM motors 
<Unable to start> 
An erC alarm occurs, and the 
motor does not start. Adjust P95. 
1, 4: Method for IPM 
motors 
2: Method for SPM 
motors 
<Magnetic pole position detection 
start> 
The motor starts from 0 Hz 
following magnetic pole position 
detection. 
0.0 to 359.9° 
(Offset 
adjustment 
complete) 
<Magnetic pole position draw-in 
start> 
The magnetic pole position draw-
in operation is performed at the 
frequency set at d80 when 
turning ON the inverter power for 
the first time. The motor 
accelerates to the command 
speed after magnetic pole 
position draw-in is complete. The 
motor starts (normal start) from 0 
Hz from the next time onward. 
The time required for the 
magnetic pole position draw-in 
operation is a maximum of one 
machine angle rotation.   
( Function code d80) 
<Magnetic pole position detection 
start> 
The motor starts from 0 Hz 
following magnetic pole position 
detection when turning ON the 
inverter power for the first time. 
The motor starts (normal start) 
from 0 Hz from the next time 
onward. 
4: A, B phase 90° 
phase difference, 
UVW signal 
999 
(Offset not 
adjusted) 
<Unable to start> 
An erC alarm occurs, and the 
motor does not start. Adjust P95. 
<Magnetic pole position detection 
start> 
The motor starts from 0 Hz 
following magnetic pole position 
detection. 
0.0 to 359.9° 
(Offset 
adjustment 
complete) 
<Normal start> 
The motor starts from 0 Hz. 
 
During the magnetic pole position pull-in operation or the magnetic pole position detection operation, the 
motor is unable to generate enough torque. When applying to an application which requires torque when 
starting,  use  the  brake  signal  “BRKS”  and  magnetic  pole  position  detection  complete  signal  “PTD”  to 
ensure  that  the  machine  brake  is  not  released  until  the  magnetic  pole  position  draw-in  operation  and 
magnetic pole position detection operation are complete. ( Function code E20)
