Example applications • Multiple motors • Simple speed
feedback control
• Variable speed
drive applications
• Simple servo
drives
• Precision speed
control
• Torque control
Note V
ector control has a greater starting torque and more precise speed control than V/f control, so
use
of vector control is recommended whenever possible. Use V/f control in the
following types of
applications:
S When several motors are being operated
S When special motors such as submersible motors or spindle motors are being used
(Situations in which auto-tuning cannot be used.)
S When operation is being coordinated with an older inverter control system
5-1-2 Frequency Reference Settings from Control Circuit
Terminals
These settings are required when inputting analog voltage or current signals from the control circuit
terminals.
H Frequency Reference Selection (b1-01)
Parameter b1-01 is used to select the reference source; it cannot be changed during operation.
