u b7: Droop Control (CLV)
Droop control automatically balances the load level between two motors that drive the same load, such as in a traverse 
crane applications. Droop control must be activated in one of the two drives that control these motors. The drive in which 
Droop control is activated will automatically reduce the speed if the torque reference rises, and automatically increase the 
speed if the torque reference falls again to shift the load from one motor to the other.
Note: Disable Feed Forward (n5-01 = 0) whenever using Droop control.

n 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.

n b7-02: Droop Control Delay Time
Adjusts the responsiveness of Droop control. Reduce the setting if the reaction time is too long, and increase the setting if 
hunting occurs.
