4 Power Stage
If the power does not return, the drive will theoretically decelerate all the way to a 
stop. Within this context, there will be a specific speed below which it will not be 
possible to maintain the DC link voltage any longer even with the maximum motor 
(brake) current. This will result in an undervoltage shutdown.
Mode 2
Power failure bridging with power return detection. The system will not start up 
again.
Same as mode 1, except the system will not start up again if the power returns. Error 
34-1 will always be triggered once the power returns.
Mode 3
Fastest possible speed reduction without power return detection.
In terms of configuring the power failure detection limits, the requirements listed for 
mode 1 apply here as well. The voltage setpoint is yielded by adding P701[17] - u_
bc_on (braking chopper threshold) and P2942[1] - POWF_VRef. After a power 
failure is detected, the controller will control the voltage so that it reaches the 
configured setpoint. This setpoint will be considerably higher than the power failure 
detection limit, which will technically ensure that it will not be possible to detect the 
return of power. This mode is characterized by the fact that the DC link voltage is 
typically raised all the way over the braking chopper threshold, resulting in the 
braking energy being converted into braking resistance. Accordingly, the drive will 
decelerate as quickly as possible.
Mode 4
Only with expanded VFC functionality.
specific DC link threshold values (based on the operating mode). The corresponding 
details are described in the description for each individual mode. The controller will 
ensure that the configured voltage setpoint is not fallen below as a result of motor 
deceleration. If, however, the instantaneous DC link voltage becomes higher than 
the setpoint (e.g. due to the power returning), there will be no control intervention, 
i.e. the motor will not be accelerated regardless.
4.2.3Modes
Mode 1
Power failure bridging with power return detection. The system will start up again if 
the power returns within a configurable period of time.
The power failure detection limit is formed by adding together P701[12] - u_zkoff 
(Software shut-off limit for detection of DC link undervoltage) and P2942[0] - 
POWF_Von. It should be considerably higher than the shutdown limit (default setting 
= 40 V).
Likewise, the voltage setpoint is yielded by adding P701[12] - u_zkoff and P2942
[1] - POWF_VRef. The voltage setpoint must be lower than the detection limit so that 
it will be possible to detect when the power returns. Moreover, it should be 
considerably higher than the shutdown limit (default setting = 20 V).
After a power failure is detected, the controller will control the voltage so that it 
reaches the configured setpoint. If a power return is detected within the time period 
set in P2943[0] - CON_POWF_RetTime, the drive will return to its original control 
state. If power returns after the aforementioned time period has already elapsed, 
error 34-1 will be triggered. If P2943[0] - CON_POWF_RetTime is set to 65535, 
there will be no time limit for the drive to return to its original control state after power 
returns.
