● The control mode is suitable to address the
following requirements:
– Motor power ratings < 45 kW
– Ramp-up time 0 → rated speed (depending
on the motor power rating):
1 s (0.1 kW) … 10 s (45 kW)
– 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:
< 100 ms
● Typical settling time after a load surge: 200 ms

● 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
following applications:
– Motor power ratings > 11 kW
– 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 (250 kW).
