Inverter Positioning Section 5-3
Low-speed Operation
Using Minimum Output
Setting
An inductive motor driven with an inverter is different from a servomotor in that
the torque at low speeds is so low that it may not be possible to turn the motor
shaft at the minimum frequency. The CP1L provide a minimum output setting
the ensure a minimum output to enable positioning at low speeds even when
there are extremely few pulses in the error counter.
Absolute Positioning The amount of movement (i.e., amount of rotation) is input to the high-speed
counter as feedback pulses. During inverter positioning, the present value of
the high-speed counter can be used as an absolute position.
Note The absolute position will change if the present value of the high-speed
counter is changed or the high-speed counter is reset.

Item Specification
Applicable inverters Inverter that receives frequency commands from an analog
input or via Modbus-RTU communications. (Control method:
V/f control, vector control, etc.)
Applicable motors Depends on the inverter (e.g., squirrel-cage inductive motor)

ing ports and
response frequency
Two ports at 100 kHz (J models: 20kHz) (within the speed
command range of the pulse output instructions)
