GENERAL INFORMATION
2.3 ABOUT THE CFW-08
The CFW-08 is a high performance Variable Frequency Drive that permits
the control of speed and torque of a three-phase AC induction motor. Two
types of control are available in the same product:
Programmable scalar (Volts/Hz) control;
Sensorless Vector Control (VVC: Voltage Vector Control).
In the vector control mode, the motor performance is optimized relating to
torque and speed regulation.
The "Self-Tuning" function, available in vector control, permits the automatic
setting of the inverter parameter from the identification (also automatic) of
the parameters of the motor connected at the inverter output.
The V/F (scalar) mode is recommended for more simple applications
such as pump and fan drives. In these cases one can reduce the motor
and inverter losses by using the "Quadratic V/F" option, that results in
energy saving.
The V/F mode is also used when more than one motor should be driven
simultaneously by one inverter (multimotor application).
There are two CFW-08 versions:
Standard: it has 4 digital inputs (DIs), 1 analog input (AI) and 1 relay
output.
CFW-08 Plus: compared to the standard version it has one additional
analog input and one additional relay output. It has also an analog
output (AO).
