3 Functional Description
3.1 Inputs
3.1.1 Set point «Set value speed»
The motor speed is set with the analog input «Set value speed». The input is protected against overvolt-
age up to the maximum operating voltage.
Figure 7 «Set value speed» – Input circuitry
The speed set value is set with the voltage at the set value input. The set speed is controlled by the con-
troller. Changes to speed set value are executed by a delayed internal speed ramp.
A set value smaller a predefined minimum voltage (Table 1) disables the power stage, the motor shaft
coasts.
