The motor model-based speed monitoring requires a rotating machine. Thus, the operational
performance of the sensorless control for synchronous motors is divided into two categories:
1. Open-loop controlled operation (|n
setpoint
| < n
C00996
)
• In the range of low speeds, the speed of a synchronous motor is not possible. Thus, only an
adjustable and constant current is injected that enables an acceleration.
2. Closed-loop controlled operation (|n
setpoint
| > n
C00996
)
• In this range, the rotor flux position and the speed are reconstructed via an observer. The
control is carried out field-oriented. Only the current is injected that is needed for the
required torque.
[5-13] Operating ranges of the sensorless control for synchronous motors
The sensorless control for synchronous motors has similar advantages for the closed-loop
controlled operating range and the servo control (SC) for synchronous motors. Compared to
asynchronous motors, there are the following advantages:
• Higher power density of the motor
• Higher efficiency
• Limitation of the maximum torque in motor mode and generator mode in closed-loop
operating range
• Implementation of simple positioning
 Note!
Currently, the sensorless control does not contain a flying restart function that enables
a synchronisation of the inverter to a rotating machine.
• Thus, we recommend taking measures for preventing overvoltages at operation in
generator mode (e.g. brake resistor).
• By any means, the delay time for the "DC-bus overvoltage" error trigger in C00601/1
must be set to 0 s.
