AC30 series Variable Speed Drive 
Flycatching 
Parameters::Motor Control::Flycatching 
 
Only available if IM MOTOR selected in Control Mode 
 
This feature performs a directional speed search. It allows the Drive to seamlessly catch a spinning motor before controlling the motor to the desired 
setpoint. This is especially useful for large inertia fan loads, where drafts in building air ducts can cause a fan to `windmill’.

ALWAYS 
 
Only under VHz control 
The percentage level of the search volts applied to the motor during the speed search phase of the flycatching sequence. Increasing 
this parameter improves the accuracy of the discovered motor speed but increases the braking influence of the speed search on the 
rotating motor.
