AC30 series Variable Speed Drive 
Slew Rate 
Parameters::Motor Control::Slew Rate 
 
Designed for VOLTS/Hz motor Control Mode. 
 
This function prevents over-current and over-voltage faults occurring due to a rapidly changing setpoint.

Functional Description 
The Slew Rate limit obtains the setpoint from the output of the application, correctly scaled by the Reference feature and already processed by the 
Power Loss Ride Thru and the DC Link Volts Limit features ( if enabled ). The rate of change limits are applied and the setpoint is then passed on 
for further processing. 
 
When the braking feature determines that the internal dc link voltage is too high it issues a Hold signal. This causes the Slew Rate limit function to 
hold the setpoint at its current value. This typically lasts for only 1ms, time for the excess energy to be dumped into the dynamic braking resistor.
