Supported motor series
Supported motors
The inverter is designed for the following motor series:
SIMOTICS GP, SIMOTICS SD IEC motors
1LG6, 1LA7, 1LA9, 1LE1 and 1PC1 standard
1PH8 induction motors
SIMOTICS S 1FK7 permanent-magnet synchro-
nous motors without encoder
SIMOTICS 1FG1 geared synchronous motors
without encoder
1FG1 geared synchronous motor
Motors from other manufacturers
Standard induction motors
Synchronous motors (on request)
Operation with 1FK7 or 1FG1 synchronous motor without encoder
The control dynamic that can be achieved using a synchronous motor corresponds to that of
an induction motor:
● Power-up time from standstill to rated speed ≥ 1 s
● Starting torque ≤ 2 × rated torque of the motor
Operation is intended for applications where increased energy efficiency is required when
compared to an induction motor.
