Chap. 4 RUNNING THE MOTOR
-------------------------------------------------------------- Test Run Procedure --------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Turn the power ON and check that the reference frequency
*000
Hz is blinking on the LED monitor.
(2) Set a low reference frequency such as 5 Hz, using
/ keys. (Check that the frequency is blinking on the LED monitor.)
(3) Press the
key to start running the motor in the forward direction. (Check that the reference frequency is displayed on the
LED monitor.)
(4) To stop the motor, press the
key.
< Check points during a test run >
• Check that the motor is running in the forward direction.
• Check for smooth rotation without motor humming or excessive vibration.
• Check for smooth acceleration and deceleration.
When no abnormality is found, press the
key again to start driving the motor, then increase the reference frequency using
/
keys. Check the above points again.
If any problem is found, modify the function code data again as described below.
Depending on the settings of function codes, the motor speed may rise to an unexpectedly high and dangerous
level, particularly, under vector control with/without speed sensor. To avoid such an event, the speed limiting
function is provided.
If the user is unfamiliar with the function code settings (e.g., when the user starts up the inverter for the first time),
it is recommended that the frequency limiter (high) (F15) and the torque control (speed limit 1/2) (d32/d33) be
used. At the startup of the inverter, to ensure safer operation, specify small values to those function codes at firs
details of the speed limiting function, refer to the FRENIC-MEGA User's Manual.

< Modification of motor control function code data >
Modifying the current function code data sometimes can solve an insufficient torque or overcurrent incident. The table below
lists the major function codes to be accessed. For details, see Chapter 5 "FUNCTION CODES" and Chapter 6
"TROUBLESHOOTING."

If any problem persists under V/f control with speed sensor, dynamic torque vector control with speed sensor, or vector control
with/without speed sensor, modify the following function code data.
The drive controls mentioned above use a PI controller for speed control. The PI constants are sometimes required to be
modified because of the load inertia. The table below lists the main modification items. For details, see Chapter 5 "FUNCTION
CODES" and Chapter 6 "TROUBLESHOOTING."
