Open Loop V/f Control
(V/f)
Closed Loop V/f Control
(CL-V/f)
Notes
Controlled Motor Induction Motor -
Overexcitation
Deceleration
*1
Yes Yes
Sets the V/f higher than the setting value
during deceleration to increase motor loss
and decrease deceleration time.
Overvoltage
Suppression Function
*1 *2
Yes Yes
Adjusts speed during regeneration to
prevent overvoltage.
*1 Note these points when you use this function:
• When you can decouple the motor and machine for a test run, use Rotational Auto-Tuning. You must make adjustments to the
control in the range where there is no vibration in the machine after Rotational Auto-Tuning.
• Motor loss increases during overexcitation braking and high-slip braking. Use a maximum braking frequency of 5% ED and a
maximum braking time of 90 seconds. After you start high-slip braking, you cannot restart the motor until it stops. Use
overexcitation braking to decelerate over a shorter time at a pre-determined speed.
*2 Do not use this function with hoist application.

Range
1:200 1:1500 1:200
This is the range of variable
control.
When you connect and operate
motors in this mode, think about
the increase in motor
temperature.
Starting Torque 200% / 0.3 Hz

*1
200% / 0.3 Hz
*1
This is the motor torque that the
drive can supply at low speed
during start-up and the related
output frequency (rotation
speed).
You must think about drive
capacity when a large quantity of
torque is necessary at low speed.
Auto-Tuning

Rotational, Stationary, and
Line-to-Line Resistance
Rotational, Stationary, and
Line-to-Line Resistance
Rotational, Stationary, and
Line-to-Line Resistance
Automatically tunes electrical
motor parameters.
Torque Limits
*2
Yes Yes Yes
Controls maximum motor torque
to prevent damage to machines
and loads.
Torque Control
*2
No Yes
Yes (Although NOT low
speeds of approximately
10% or less)
Directly controls motor torque to
control tension and other
parameters.
Droop Control
*2
No Yes Yes
Sets load torque slip for motors.
Distributes motor loads.
