 Speed Search
The speed search function finds the actual speed of the motor that is rotating using inertia, and then starts
smoothly from that speed. When restoring power after a temporary power loss, the speed search function
switches connection from the commercial power supply, and then restarts the fan that is rotating using inertia.

selection (cur-

or speed cal-
culation)
Enables/disables the speed search 
function for the run command and 
sets the speed search method.

1: Enabled, speed calculation
2: Disabled, current detection
3: Enabled, current detection
Speed Calculation:
When the search is started, the 
motor speed is calculated and 
acceleration/deceleration is 
performed from the calculated 
speed to the specified frequency 
(motor direction is also searched).
Current Detection:
The speed search is started from 
the frequency when power was 
momentarily lost and the 
maximum frequency, and the 
speed is detected at the search 
current level.

Sets the contactor operating delay 
time when there is a contactor on 
the output side of the Drive. When 
a speed search is performed after 
recovering from a momentary 
power loss, the search operation is 
delayed by the time set here.
