This parameter will only become visible if an induction motor is selected. If a PMAC motor is selected, the Control Strategy will
automatically be set to Vector Control.

AC30V : This parameter will only become visible if an induction motor is selected, Control Strategy is set to Vector Control, and the
encoder option is fitted. If the encoder option is not fitted, the control strategy is forced to be sensorless.
AC30P/D: This parameter will only become visible if an induction motor is selected, Control Strategy is set to Vector Control. If the
encoder option is not fitted, selecting ENCODER FEEDBACK will give a trip.
This parameter allows selects between sensorless control, and control using encoder feedback.
If an encoder is available, encoder feedback control would normally be the preferred choice as it gives better speed control and higher
performance.
