Learning Advanced Features
When Cn. 46 is set to 0 (None), the motor is operated according to the pole position
estimated by the inverter’s sensorless control algorithm, instead of actually detecting the
physical position of the rotor pole.
When Cn. 46 is set to 1 (Angle Detect), the motor is operated according to the pole position
detected by changes in the current. The voltage pulse input is used to detect the pole
position and results in a small amount of noise at motor startup.
When Cn. 46 is set to 2 (Alignment), the inverter forcefully align the rotor position by
supplying DC current for a certain period of time.

Sensorless Vector Control Mode Settings for PM
Synchronous Motors
To operate a PM synchronous motor in sensorless vector control mode, set dr.09 (Control
Mode) to 6 (PM Sensorless), select the motor capacity at dr.14 (Motor Capacity), and enter
the appropriate codes in the Basic (bA) group with the motor specification values found on
the motor’s rating plate. If a specific motor capacity does not exist in the setting options,
select a higher motor capacity that is closest to the actual motor capacity.
