9.4.2 Limiting RUN Command Direction
How to apply a limit to the RUN command direction?
How to prevent equipment from being damaged if the inverter outputs in the reverse direction?
By setting the "RUN direction restriction selection [b035]" parameter, it is possible to limit the
RUN command direction to either forward or reverse rotation.
This function can also limit reverse rotation commands that are triggered by the frequency
command sign changing to negative.
When the operation direction limit function is activated, output to the motor is stopped, and
is displayed on the inverter display.
This function works by limiting RUN command direction. Therefore, it is not effective in cases
such as when using control methods other than V/f control where control calculations can result
in an output that causes reverse operation. To limit the output, enable "Direction reversal
protection selection [b046]". For details, refer to "9.4.3 Limiting Rotation Output Direction".
Even when this function is used, the motor may rotate in the reverse direction when subject to
external forces. When using this function as a protection against reverse rotation, the system
must be free of external forces that are applied in the reverse direction.
