• The control mode is suitable to address the fol‐
lowing requirements:
– Motor power ratings <45kW
– Ramp-up time 0→rated speed (depending
on the motor power rating):
1s(0.1kW)…10s(45kW)
– Applications with steady load torque without
load surges
• The control mode is insensitive with respect to
imprecise setting of the motor data
• Typical settling time after a speed change:
<100ms
• Typical settling time after a load surge: 200ms

• The control mode controls and limits the motor
torque
• Torque accuracy that can be achieved: ± 5 % for
15%…100% of the rated speed
• We recommend the control mode for the follow‐
ing applications:
– Motor power ratings >11kW
– For load surges of 10 % … >100 % of the rated
motor torque
• The control mode is necessary for a ramp-up
time 0→rated speed (dependent on the rated
motor power): < 1 s (0.1 kW) … < 10 s (132 kW).
