b7: Droop Control (CLV, CLV/PM)
Note:
PM motor control modes are not available on 600 V class drives, CIMR-Ao5oooooooo.
Droop control automatically balances the load level between two motors driving the same load. Droop control must be activated
in one of the drives controlling these motors. The drive in which Droop control is activated shifts the load from one motor to
another by automatically reducing the speed when the torque reference rises, and automatically increasing the speed when the
torque reference falls.
Note: Disable Feed Forward (n5-01 = 0) whenever using Droop control.

b7-01: Droop Control Gain
Sets the amount of speed reduction when the torque reference is 100%. The gain is set as a percentage of the maximum output
frequency. A setting of 0.0% disables the Droop control function.
