The Output Power (05.003) is the power flowing via the a.c. terminals of the drive. The power is derived as the dot product of the output voltage and current vectors, and so this is correct even if the motor parameters are incorrect and the motor model does not align the reference frame with the flux axis of a motor in RFC-A mode. For Open-loop, RFC-A and RFC-S modes a positive value of power indicates power flowing from the drive to motor. For Regen mode a positive value of power indicates power flowing from the supply to the regen drive.

Auto-tune test 1: Stationary test for basic control parameters
This test can be used to measure all the necessary parameters for basic control. (This test may not give such an accurate value for Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) as auto-tune test 2.)
It should be noted that because this is a stationary or minimal movement test, it is not possible to check the direction of the position feedback. If the motor power connection phase sequence is incorrect so that the position feedback counts in reverse when the drive applies a phase sequence U-V-W to operate in the forward direction then when the drive is enabled after the auto-tune the motor will jump thought 90o electrical and stop with a current in the motor defined by the current limits. This can be corrected by changing the drive output phase sequence with Reverse Output Phase Sequence (05.042) and then repeating the auto-tuning. This will make the motor rotate correctly in the direction defined by the position feedback rotation. If the position feedback direction is correct the motor will then rotate under control in the required direction, but if the position feedback direction is incorrect the motor will then rotate under control in the wrong direction.
When using any type of encoder with digital commutation signals (i.e. AB Servo) the absolute position is not fully defined until the motor has moved by between 1 and 2 electrical revolutions (i.e. between 120o and 240o mechanical for a 6 pole motor). This means that Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) can only be measured correctly using motor inductance measurement (i.e. Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) = 0). Also if Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) is measured for a motor using this type of position feedback using a stationary test when the motor has not moved since power-up, or after the position feedback is re-initialised, there can be an error of +/-30o in the result. When the motor subsequently moves, the drive synchronises more accurately to the commutation signal edges and adjusts Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) to be correct and then saves the value to NV memory in the drive. If a stationary auto-tune is performed and the motor is not moved by at least 2 electrical revolutions before powering down again this process is not carried out and the auto-tune should be repeated. When an encoder with digital commutation signals is used there is always an error of up to 30o in the phasing angle during starting until the motor has rotated by 1/3 of an electrical revolution. It should be noted that the +/-30o error in the phasing angle can increase this error to 60o and reduce the possible torque by up to 50%. Once the motor has rotated by 2 electrical revolutions full torque will be available.
The stationary test cannot be used with commutation only type devices, and test 2 below should be used instead.
Auto-tune test 2: Rotating test for basic control parameters
This test can be used to measure all the necessary parameters for basic control. The motor must be unloaded for this test. This test is likely to give a more accurate value for Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) than auto-tune test 1 for motors with low saliency or no saliency. If Volts Per 1000rpm (05.033) / (Number Of Motor Poles (05.011) x (No-load Lq (05.072) - (Ld (05.024)) x Rated Current (05.007)) < 200 then the reluctance torque (due to saliency) compared to the torque derived from the magnet flux is too high and this test cannot be used. Note that if sensorless mode is selected Auto-tune 1 test is performed.
Auto-tune test 3: Mechanical load measurement using signal injection
This test measures the mechanical characteristic of the motor and load by rotating the motor at the speed defined by the present speed reference and injecting a series of speed test signals. This test should only be used provided all the basic control parameters (including Torque Per Amp (05.032)) have been set-up correctly and the speed controller parameters should be set to conservative levels, such as the default values, so that the motor is stable when it runs. The test measures the motor and load inertia, which can be used in automatic set-up of the speed controller gains and in producing a torque feed-forward term. If Mechanical Load Test Level (05.021) is left at its default value of zero then the peak level of the injection signal will be 1% of the maximum speed reference subject to a maximum of 500rpm. If a different test level is required then Mechanical Load Test Level (05.021) should be set to a non-zero value to define the level as a percentage of the maximum speed reference, again subject to a maximum of 500rpm. The user defined speed reference which defines the speed of the motor should be set to a level higher than the test level, but not high enough for flux weakening to become active. In some cases, however it is possible to perform the test at zero speed provided the motor is free to move, but it may be necessary to increase the test signal from the default value. The test will give the correct results when there is a static load applied to the motor and in the presence of mechanical damping. This test should be used if possible, however for sensorless mode, or if the speed controller cannot be set up for stable operation an alternative test is provided (Auto-tune (05.012) = 4 ) where a series of torque levels are applied to accelerate and decelerate the motor to measure the inertia.
Auto-tune test 4: Mechanical load measurement using applied torque
Auto-tune test 3 should normally be used for mechanical load measurement, but under some circumstances this test may be used as an alternative. This test is likely to give incorrect results if standard ramp mode is active. A series of progressively larger torque levels are applied to the motor (20%, 40% ... 100% of rated torque) to accelerate the motor up to 3/4 x Rated Speed (05.008) to determine the inertia from the acceleration/deceleration time. The test attempts to reach the required speed within 5s, but if this fails the next torque level is used. When 100% torque is used the test allows 60s for the required speed to be reached, but if this is unsucessful a trip is initiated. To reduce the time taken for the test it is possible to define the level of torque to be used for the test by setting Mechanical Load Test Level (05.021) to a non-zero value. When the test level is defined the test is only carried out at the defined test level and 60s is allowed for the motor to reached the required speed. It should be noted that if the maximum speed allows for flux weakening then it may not be possible to acheive the required torque level to accelerate the motor fast enough. If this is the case, the maximum speed reference should be reduced.
Auto-tune test 5:
To be defined.
Auto-tune test 6: Locked rotor test for load dependent parameters
Note that this test is not impemented and needs to be fully defined. The following gives an outline of a possible test method.
If sensorless mode is selected then the rotor must be locked in position so that it does not move with the level of current defined by Iq Test Current For Inductance Measurement (05.075). It is possible to perform this test when the motor is not completely rigidly locked provided sensorless mode is not selected. This could be done for example where the motor shaft is prevented from turning by another motor connected to its shaft on a motor loading rig. The loading motor should be set up with zero speed reference and be able to prevent the test motor from accelerating with a level of current defined by Iq Test Current For Inductance Measurement (05.075). The test will apply a series of torque pulsations to the motor during the test and the loading motor should prevent excessive movement and the system response must be stable. If this test is carried out with position feedback the feedback device must be set up correctly and the Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) must be correct.
This is a fairly prolonged test which makes measurements of the motor inductance with a range of test currents in the d and q axis of the motor. Iq varies between zero and the level specified by Iq Test Current For Inductance Measurement (05.075). Id varies between the level specified by Id Test Current for Inductance Measurement (05.082) and zero. The results are analysed by the drive and Phase Offset At Iq Test Current (05.077), Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current (05.071), No-load Lq (05.072), Lq At The Defined Iq Test Current (05.078) and Lq At The Defined Id Test Current (05.084) are calculated. As the test is carried out at standstill the thermal model for the drive may initiate a trip at the higher current levels. If this is the case then either the test currents or the switching frequency will need to be reduced.
The table below shows the trips that can occur during an auto-tune test:
Trip | Reason |
Autotune Stopped | The final drive enable or the final drive run were removed before the test was completed. |
Resistance.001 | The measured value of Stator Resistance (05.017) exceeded a value of (VFS / √2) / Full Scale Current Kc (11.061), where VFS is the full scale d.c. link voltage. |
Resistance.002 | It has not been possible to measure the drive inverter characteristic to define Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) and Current At Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060). |
Autotune 1.001 | The position feedback did not change when position feedback is being used. |
Autotune 1.002 | The motor did not reach the required speed. |
Autotune 1.003 | The required commutation signal edge could not be found with commutation signal only position feedback. |
Autotune 1.004 | The required angular movement did not occur during a minimal movement test. |
Autotune 1.005 | The fine location of the motor flux during a minimal movement test failed. |
Autotune 1.006 | The phasing offset angle is meaured twice during a stationary auto-tune and the two values were not within 30degrees. |
Autotune 1.007 | The motor was rotating when a minimal movement test was performed to find the phasing offset angle on enable. |
Autotune 1.008 | An auto-tune has been attempted while the AMC is selected. |
Autotune 2.001 | Position feedback direction is incorrect when position feedback is being used. |
Autotune 2.002 |
A SINCOS encoder with comms is being used for position feedback and the comms position is rotating in the opposite direction to the sine wave based position. |
Autotune 3.001 | The measured inertia exceeds the parameter range. |
Autotune 3.003 | The mechanical load test has failed to identify the inertia. |
Autotune 3.002 | A position feedback device with commutation signals is being used (i.e. AB Servo, FD Servo, FR Servo, SC Servo) and the commutation signals changed in the wrong direction. |
Autotune 4 | A position feedback device with commutation signals is being used (i.e. AB Servo, FD Servo, FR Servo, SC Servo) and U signal did not change. |
Autotune 5 | A position feedback device with commutation signals is being used (i.e. AB Servo, FD Servo, FR Servo, SC Servo) and V signal did not change. |
Autotune 6 | A position feedback device with commutation signals is being used (i.e. AB Servo, FD Servo, FR Servo, SC Servo) and W signal did not change. |
Autotune 7 | The motor poles or the position feedback resolution have been set up incorrectly where position feedback is being used. The trip will not occur if Number Of Motor Poles (05.011) ≥ 6 (i.e. 12 poles). |
Inductance.003 | The difference between the d and q axis inductance is not large enough to correctly determine the location of the motor flux. If position feedback is being used the measured value for Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) may not be reliable. Also the measured values of Ld (05.024) and No-load Lq (05.072) may not correspond to the d and q axis respectively. The test is completed and all the parameters saved to non-volatile memory in the drive, but the user should note that the measured results may not be correct. It should be noted that this trip is not produced if sensorless mode is selected and active (i.e. Sensorless Mode Active (03.078) = 1). |
Inductance.004 | During auto-tune test 1 when position feedback is being used (i.e. Sensorless Mode Active (03.078) = 0), the direction of the flux in the motor must be detected by the change of inductance with different currents. This trip is initiated if the change cannot be detected. |
If Sensorless Mode Active (03.078) = 1 then trips Autotune 1 (except Autotune 1.008), Autotune 2 and Autotune 7 are disabled.

Phasing Test On Enable (05.014) can be used to get the drive to perform a phasing angle test when it is enabled. This test can be used when a non-absolute encoder is used for motor control feedback in RFC-S mode. The phasing test will measure and modify Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025), so that the correct offset is applied to run the motor with the non-absolute encoder. Note that the value is not saved in drive non-volatile memory. A test is only carried out when sensorless mode is not active (i.e. Sensorless Mode Active (03.078) = 0). The test can be selected to occur after power-up and each time the position feedback is re-initialised. It is not necessary to perform the test on every enable, but this can be selected as shown in the table below.
Phasing Test On Enable (05.014) | Action when Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) is zero | Action when Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) is non-zero |

Long Once (4) | A test lasting approximately 2.5s is carried out when the drive is first enabled after power-up, and when the drive is enabled after position feedback selected with Motor Control Feedback Select (03.026) is initialized | Same as Short Once (2) |
Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) is zero
The motor inductance is measured to determine the position of the rotor flux. It is recommended that the long test is used as this reduces measurement errors. The long test should always be used when the motor is not held in position during the test (i.e. a motor without a mechanical brake) or with motors that have a high level of saliency even if they are held in position. It should be noted that the motor inductances ( Ld (05.024) and No-load Lq (05.072) ) are checked before the test is carried out, and if the difference is not sufficient (see Inductance) then the drive will trip. Therefore, if the motor inductances have not been measured with auto-tuning or changed from their default values of zero the drive will trip when the drive is enabled. This test, in common with the stationary auto-tune test, cannot be used with commutation only type feedback, i.e. when P1 Device Type (03.038) is set to Commutation Only.
Most motors have a positive saturation characteristic so that increasing the current in the flux axis increases motor saturation. It is possible with some motor designs for the characteristic to be reversed. If this is the case the phase angle measurement on enable will produce a value that is 180deg from the real value. If this is the case Inverted Saturation Characteristic (05.070) should be set to one.
Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) is non-zero
A minimal movement test is used to determine the position of the rotor flux. See Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) for details. This test cannot be used with any position feedback devices that use commutation signals (i.e. AB Servo, FD Servo, FR Servo, SC Servo or Commutation Only).

If Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) is left at its default value of zero then inductance measurement is used to determine the location of the motor flux during a stationary auto-tune (see Auto-tune (05.012)) and during a phasing test on enable (see Phasing Test On Enable (05.014)). The inductance measurement test does not cause any deliberate movement of the motor during the test, but does rely on the motor being salient under no-load conditions. If the motor is non-salient (i.e. the inductance ratio is too small, see Inductance) then inductance measurement cannot be used to determine the phasing angle offset for a system using position feedback. If position feedback is not being used ( Sensorless Mode Active (03.078) = 1) then the phasing angle offset is not measured, and so the motor does not need to be salient. As an alternative to the inductance measurement test, a test that causes a small movement of the motor can be used to determine the location of the motor flux during the stationary auto-tune and during the phasing test on enable. This test can be used with motors with no saliency, or relatively low saliency, but is not accurate with high saliency motors (i.e. Volts Per 1000rpm (05.033) / (Number Of Motor Poles (05.011) x (No-load Lq (05.072) - (Ld (05.024)) x Rated Current (05.007)) should be greater than 1000). The test can be used even if the motor is constrained by a mechanical brake during the test, provided the mechanical system allows enough motor movement. For the test to be reliable it is suggested that the position feedback changes by at least 30 counts during the test. If Minimal Movement Phasing Test Angle (05.016) is non-zero it selects the minimal movement test instead of the inductance test, and defines the total mechanical movement required during the test in 0.01o units. For example, if the position feedback has a resolution of 16384 counts per revolution, then for a movement of 30 counts the required angle is 360o x 30 / 16384 = 0.66o. If the motor is constrained with a mechanical brake then the required movement will need to be set to a lower value as it is unlikely that the drive will be able to achieve a large angular movement against the brake, and so a high resolution position feedback device may be required. The minimal movement test does not apply a static torque, but an alternating torque, so there should be not net slip against the brake. However, the required movement angle should be set to a relatively low level or else the motor will cause the brake to transiently slip which will make the test to fail. If the motor is not constrained then the test may also fail if the motor has high cogging torque or there is a mechnaically resonant load connected to the shaft.
When the minimal movement test is selected for auto-tuning, a long test is used which should give a result with accuracy that is close to that of a rotating test. The test is split into two sections, the first part of the test determines the approximate location of the motor flux and the second part of the test improves the accuracy of the result. During the first part of the test the torque applied to the motor is progressively increased until the required movement is achieved, but if this is not possible an Autotune 1.4 is initiated. This can be prevented by reducing the angular movement required. During the second part of the test a series of test pulses are applied to refine the measured phasing offset, but if this not successful then an Autotune 1.5 is initiated. This is likely to occur if the mechanical system resonates during the test or the mechanical movement required is too large. The current required to obtain the required movement is stored in Minimal Movement Phasing Test Current (05.015), so this can then be used as the starting value for the phasing test on enable to reduce the test time.
When the minimal movement test is selected to determine the phasing offset angle on enable a shorter test is used which does not give such an accurate result. The test starts with the current defined by Minimal Movement Phasing Test Current (05.015) and the current is progressively increased until the requried movement is obtained. The current level obtained during auto-tuning should be the required level, and so the test will be performed in the minimum amount of time. The test is only accurate if the motor is stationary before the test begins, and so if the speed is higher than the zero speed threshold (i.e. Zero Speed (10.003) =0 ) an Autotune 1.7 trip is initiated before the test is attempted. Only the first part of the test described above is used and if it is not possible to achieve the required movement an Autotune 1.4 trip is initiated.
It should be noted that the minimal movement test system can be used when position feedback is via the P1 or P2 interfaces on the drive or via a position feedback interface from an option module. However, if the position feedback is via an option module any filtering applied to the speed feedback by the option module must be disabled. This does not apply to the drive position feedback interfaces because the filtering effect of P1 Feedback Filter (03.042) is automatically bypassed during the test.

Maximum Switching Frequency (05.018) should be set to the required PWM switching frequency. The drive inverter will operate at this frequency unless the inverter temperature becomes too hot. Under these conditions the drive will reduce the switching frequency in an attempt to avoid tripping (see Auto-switching Frequency Change (05.035) ). The actual switching frequency is shown in Switching Frequency (05.037). The switching frequency has a direct effect on the sample rate for the current controllers (see Current Controller Kp Gain (04.013)). All other control tasks are at a fixed rate.

Care must be taken when high speed mode is not set to "disable" to avoid damaging the drive. The voltage produced by the magnet flux is proportional to speed. For high speed operation the drive must apply currents to the motor to counter-act the flux produced by the magnets. It is possible to operate the motor at very high speeds that would give a very high motor terminal voltage, but this voltage is prevented by the action of the drive. If however, the drive is disabled (or tripped) when the motor voltages would be higher than the rating of the drive without the currents to counter-act the flux from the magnets, it is possible to damage the drive. If high speed mode is not disabled the motor speed must be limited to the levels given in the table below unless an additional hardware protection system is used to limit the voltages applied to the drive output terminals to a safe level.
Drive voltage rating | Maximum motor speed (rpm) | Maximum safe line to line voltage at the motor terminals (V r.m.s.) |
200 |
400 x 1000 / (Ke x √2) | 400 / √2 |
400 | 800 x 1000 / (Ke x √2) | 800 / √2 |
575 | 955 x 1000 / (Ke x √2) | 955 / √2 |
690 | 1145x 1000 / (Ke x √2) | 1145 / √2 |
Ke is the ratio between r.m.s. line to line voltage produced by the motor and the speed in V/1000rpm.
High speed mode is disabled as default (i.e. Enable High Speed Mode (05.022) = 0 (Disable)). The motor flux is not modified to limit the motor voltage to the level defined by Rated Voltage (05.009). The motor voltage will increase as the speed is increased until the motor line voltage x √2 is equal to the d.c. link voltage (D.c. Bus Voltage (05.005)). It will not be possible to further increase the speed significantly. This mode is safe because the motor voltage with no current flowing in the motor cannot exceed a level that can damage the drive provided Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) is correct for the motor. Note that if Position Feedback Phase Angle (03.025) is modified by the user to change the flux level in the motor then it is possible to damage the drive.
If Enable High Speed Mode (05.022) = -1 (Limit) then the motor flux is modified to limit the motor voltage to the level defined by Rated Voltage (05.009). An Over Speed.1 trip is initiated if the measured motor speed exceeds the levels defined in the table to protect the drive.
If Enable High Speed Mode (05.022) = 1 (Enable) then the motor flux is modified to limit the motor voltage to the level defined by Rated Voltage (05.009), but no trip is provided, and so it is possible to damage the drive without additional protection. An indication that cannot be cleared is stored in Potential Drive Damage Conditions (10.106) and saved on power-down. The motor manufacturer should always be consulted before using this mode as care must be taken not to de-magnetise the motor.

D.c. Bus Voltage High Range (05.023) provides voltage feedback that has lower resolution and a higher range than D.c. Bus Voltage (05.005), and so it is possible to determine the d.c. link voltage even if this exceeds the level of the over-voltage trip. It should be noted that due to tolerances, D.c. Bus Voltage High Range (05.023) may not correspond exactly with the level given by D.c. Bus Voltage (05.005). In a system with parallel power modules where the control pod is remote from any of the power modules, this parameter always shows zero.

Whatever the value of High Dynamic Performance Enable (05.026) a feed-forward term based on the estimated level of flux in the motor and the motor speed is used to improve the performance of the current controllers and to avoid transients during spinning start. However, if High Dynamic Performance Enable (05.026) = 1 additional feed-forward terms are provided to remove the effects of cross-coupling between the flux and torque axes. This improves the performance of the current controllers under dynamic conditions at high speeds. It should be noted that High Dynamic Performance Enable (05.026) has no effect if sensorless control is active (i.e. Sensorless Mode Active (03.078) = 1).

If high saliency control is active (i.e. Active Saliency Torque Mode (05.066) = 2) the drive applies compensation to give approximately a linear realtionship between the torque reference and actual torque for speed and torque control modes. In some cases this may introduce unacceptable system noise. If Torque Linearisation Disable (05.028) is left at its default value of 0 the linearisation system is active. If Torque Linearisation Disable (05.028) is set to 1 then the linearisation system is disabled.

The drive inverter can be damaged if the temperature is too high. The inverter can also be damaged or the lifetime of the power devices reduced, if the temperature ripple of the devices is too high. Auto-switching Frequency Change (05.035) defines the action taken if the drive inverter becomes too hot or the temperature ripple becomes too high.
Enabled:
If the inverter becomes too hot or the ripple temperature is higher than the level defined by Maximum Inverter Temperature Ripple (05.039) the switching frequency is reduced in an attempt to prevent tripping.
Disabled:
The switching frequency is not reduced, and so the drive will trip if the inverter is too hot or the temperature ripple is too high.
No Ripple Detect:
The switching frequency is reduced if the inverter temperature, but not the temperature ripple is too high. If the temperature ripple exceeds the level defined by Maximum Inverter Temperature Ripple (05.039) then the drive will trip.
The switching frequency is changed in steps defined by Auto-switching Frequency Step Size (05.036). For example with a switching frequency of 16kHz and a step size of two, the frequency will be reduced to 8kHz, then 4kHz etc. Minimum Switching Frequency (05.038) defines the minimum switching frequency that the system will attempt to use. If the switching frequency needs to switch to a lower level, then the drive will trip. If Minimum Switching Frequency is changed the new value will only become active when Switching Frequency is at or above the minimum value.

The voltage applied to the motor is always limited by Rated Voltage (05.009). When Voltage Headroom (05.041) is set to its default value of zero the output voltage of the inverter is also limited to a level equivalent to full modulation, which is the supply voltage minus voltage drops within the inverter itself. Depending on the relative values of the supply voltage and Rated Voltage (05.009) there may be some headroom between the rated voltage limit and the maximum possible voltage from the inverter to allow the current control system to give good dynamic performance. In some applications it is useful to enforce some headroom between the maximum allowed motor voltage and the inherent limit imposed by the inverter. If the supply voltage is known this can be done by setting Rated Voltage (05.009) to a suitable value below the supply voltage level, however, it is more convenient to set Rated Voltage (05.009) to the actual rated voltage of the motor, and to use Voltage Headroom (05.041) to enforce the voltage headroom. This parameter can be used to increase the headroom between the maximum modulation limit and the maximum motor voltage from zero up to 20% of the maximum modulation limit. For example, if the supply voltage is 400V then a value of 10% will give a voltage headroom of approximately 40V.

Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) shows the stator resistance from the active motor that is being used by the drive for motor control. If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 0 and motor 1 is selected then Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) is equal to Stator Resistance (05.017). If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1 the value of Stator Resistance (05.017) is not changed, but Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) is derived as follows:
Temperature Compensated Stator Resistance (05.050) = Stator Resistance (05.017) x [1 + ((Stator Temperature (05.046) – Stator Base Temperature (05.048)) x Stator Temperature Coefficient (05.047))]
Stator Resistance (05.017) and Stator Base Temperature (05.048) can be set up by the user with the stator resistance at a given temperature. The preferred method is for the Stator Resistance (05.017) to be measured and set up using the auto-tuning system (See Auto-tune (05.012)). If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1 when the auto-tuning is carried out the Stator Base Temperature (05.048) will be updated automatically with Stator Temperature (05.046).
The temperature compensation system can only function correctly if the Stator Temperature Coefficient (05.047) is set up correctly. The default value is suitable for copper or aluminium windings and should not need to be adjusted for these materials provided the temperature measurement is a reasonable measure of the winding temperature. If the temperature measurement is not closely coupled to the winding it may be necessary to adjust Stator Temperature Coefficient (05.047) for correct compensation.

The flux produced by the magnets in a permanent magnet motor varies with rotor temperature, and this in turn affects the relationship between the motor current and torque. Rotor Temperature Compensation (05.057) shows the compensation factor that is applied to convert from the torque reference to the torque producing current reference. If Enable Rotor Compensation (05.056) = 0 no compensation is applied in converting from the torque reference to the torque producing current reference (i.e. Rotor Temperature Compensation (05.057) = 1.000). If Enable Rotor Compensation (05.056) = 1 then Rotor Temperature Compensation (05.057) is calculated as follows:
Rotor Temperature Compensation (05.057) = 1 – [(Rotor Temperature (05.053) – Rotor Base Temperature (05.055)) x Rotor Temperature Coefficient (05.054)]
The default value of Rotor Temperature Coefficient (05.054) is a typical value for the magnets used in most permanent magnet motors. However, if the thermal coupling between the rotor and the temperature measuring device is poor it may be necessary to adjust Rotor Temperature Coefficient (05.054) to give better compensation.

Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) is the deadtime compensation used to compensate for dead-time effects in the inverter. This level of compensation is used when the drive output current is above Current At Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060). Both of these values related to dead-time compensation are measured during auto-tuning and cannot be set by the user. It should be noted that if the auto-tuning test is not performed and Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) = 0 then dead-time compensation is disabled. Although it is not recommended, it is possible to disable dead-time compensation by setting Disable Deadtime Compensation (05.061) = 1.

If sensorless mode is being used and is active (i.e. Sensorless Mode Active (03.078) = 1) and the motor is operating at low speed then a low speed algorithm must be used to control the motor. The change between the low speed and normal operation algorithms is related to the drive output frequency. An upper threshold is provided for the change from low speed to normal operation, and a lower threshold is provided for the change back from normal to low speed operation as given in the table below. These values are a percentage of Rated Speed (05.008).

RFC Low Speed Mode (05.064) is used to select the algorithm to be used as described below.
0: Injection
A high frequency signal is injected into the motor to detect the motor flux axis. For this to operate correctly the motor must remain salient while the low speed mode is active. The no-load inductance parameters are checked by the drive on enable and if the motor is not sufficiently salient then a Inductance trip is initiated. See the details of this trip for the inductances required. Generally the q axis inductance falls as the q axis current is increased, i.e. the motor is loaded. While low speed operation is active the drive will apply a current limit defined by Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current (05.071) to prevent the q axis inductance from falling to a level that would cause the motor to become non-salient. It will be necessary to limit the bandwidth of the speed controller to a level of 10Hz or less for stable operation particularly at low speeds. Provided these conditions are met this method can be used in the same way as control with position feedback, but the control performance is limited.
1: Non-salient
If the motor has low or no saliency (i.e. the conditions defined for Inductance cannot be met under the required load conditions) then this method can be used for low speed operation. This mode does not provide the same level of control as injection mode and the following should be considered:
2: Current
This method, which applies a rotating current vector at the frequency defined by the speed reference, can be used with any motor with no saliency or moderate saliency. It should only be used with motors where more of the torque is produced in conjunction with the magnet flux rather than from saliency torque. This mode does not provide the same level of control at low speed as injection mode, but is easier to set up and more flexible than "Non-salient" mode. The following should be considered:
3: Current no test
The "Current" method is used, but no attempt is made to determine the position of the rotor before applying the current. This can be selected for example, if the motor does not have a suitable saturation characteristic to allow the rotor position to be determined during starting, or if faster starting is required. The initial current vector angle will be at an arbitary position with respect to the actual rotor position. As the vector sweeps round it must make the rotor start to rotate. If the ramp rate is too high the rotor may not keep up with the current vector and the motor may not start. If this is the case then the ramp rate should be reduced and/or the current used to start the motor should be increased.
Torque control can be used with the "Injection" starting method in the same way as with position feedback. However if torque control is to be used in an application where the other starting methods are used then the following should be considered:

Most permanent magnet motors include some saliency due to saturation and physical construction. Torque is normally produced by interaction between the magnet flux and the stator current, but any saliency can be exploited to produce additional torque, which can increase the torque per amp produced by the motor. If Saliency Torque Control Select (05.065) = 0 (disabled) torque is only produced from the magnet flux. If Saliency Torque Control Select (05.065) = 3 (auto) then torque can be produced from saliency and the mode to do this is selected automatically based on the value of Rated Torque Angle (05.089). If the torque produced by the magnet flux is more than twice the torque produced by saliency under rated conditions then Rated Torque Angle (05.089) < 30o, and under these conditions low saliency mode is selected, otherwise high saliency mode is selected. It is possible to specifically choose the saliency mode, Saliency Torque Control Select (05.065) = 1 gives low saliency mode and Saliency Torque Control Select (05.065) = 2 gives high saliency mode. It should be noted that if Rated Torque Angle (05.089) = 0 that the saliency mode remains disabled. Active Saliency Torque Mode (05.066) shows which mode is active. It should be noted that if the high saliency control mode is active it is not possible to detect a position feedback phasing error, and so Phasing Error are suppressed.

The drive provides an over-current trip to disable the inverter quickly if the instantaneous current from the drive exceeds a specific level. This trip is provided to protect the drive in case a short circuit is applied to the outputs, but it also prevents the current into the motor from exceeding a specific maximum level. The trip level is nominally at the level of maximum controllable current which corresponds to Full Scale Current Kc (11.061). The value for Kc is given as an r.m.s. current, so if the instantaneous current from any of the drive phases exceeds the peak of a sinusoid with an r.m.s. value equal to Kc then the trip is initiated. Therefore the instantaneous trip level is √2 x Kc. The actual setting in the drive hardware is relatively coarse, and so the trip level may be different to the setting selected in Required Over-current Trip Level (05.067). Also for smaller drive sizes a margin is required to prevent cable charging currents from causing trips, and so for smaller drives the trip level may be significantly higher than Kc. For this reason Actual Over-current Trip Level (05.068) shows the actual trip level as a percentage of Kc. It should be noted that if the code tables stored in the power stage do not support this feature Actual Over-current Trip Level (05.068) will always be zero.
It is sometimes necessary to restrict the maximum instantaneous output current, particularly with permanent magnet motors to prevent de-magnetisation of the motor. Required Over-current Trip Level (05.067) can be used to select the required trip level as follows:
Required Over-current Trip Level (05.067) | Over-current trip level |
0 |
Maximum allowed over-current trip level for the drive which is Kc plus |
1 to 9 | Maximum allowed over-current trip level x (Required Over-current Trip Level (05.067) + 1) x 100% |
10 and above |
Kc x Required Over-current Trip Level (05.067) / 100 |
Values 1 to 9 are provided to give legacy support for parameter sets from some earlier software versions where 1 to 9 corresponded to 20, 30 .... 100% of the maximum allowed over-current trip level.

The change of motor inductance with flux producing current is used to determine the flux direction in RFC-S mode when operating without position feedback. Normally an increase in flux producing current reduces Ld because the motor becomes more saturated. For some motors increasing the flux producing current can modify the flux path and Ld increases with increased flux producing current. For normal motors Inverted Saturation Characteristic (05.070) should be left at its default value of zero, however, for motors with an apparent inverse saturation characteristic Inverted Saturation Characteristic (05.070) should be set to one. If this parameter is not set and the motor has an inverted saturation characteristic this can be seen as follows:
1. Sudden jump in position during a stationary auto-tune with position feedback.
2. Sudden jump in position during auto-tuning in sensorless mode.
3. Very unstable operation or the motor runs in the wrong direction on starting in sensorless mode.
It should be noted that the saturation characteristic is also used to locate the flux axis when performing a stationary auto-tune or when measuring the phasing angle on enable. If a motor has an inverted saturation characteristic then Inverted Saturation Characteristic (05.070) should be set to one for these tests to operate correctly.

Maximum test current level used for Iq during auto-tuning when measuring the motor inductance and phase offset as a percentage of Rated Current (05.007). This value is also used by the sensorless control algorithm to define the motor inductance and a reference frame phase offset at different levels of Iq. The values of Lq At The Defined Iq Test Current (05.078) and Phase Offset At Iq Test Current (05.077) should be the values which correspond to the test current level and will be set up during auto-tuning when auto-tune test 6 is carried out. Alternatively these values can be set up by the user. For most motors Phase Offset At Iq Test Current (05.077) will be zero and have little affect on the performance, however Lq is likely to vary significantly with Iq and should be set up correctly for good performance. If Lq At The Defined Iq Test Current (05.078) or Iq Test Current For Inductance Measurement (05.075) are zero then the estimate of Lq will not be affected by the level of Iq, and if Phase Offset At Iq Test Current (05.077) or Iq Test Current For Inductance Measurement (05.075) are zero the phase offset will not be affected by the level of Iq.

Phase Offset At Iq Test Current (05.077) defines the offset of the point of minimum inductance as an electrical angle from the point with no current in the motor to the point with a level of Iq equivalent to Iq Test Current For Inductance Measurement (05.075).

Phase Offset At Iq Test Current (05.077) is used for low speed RFC sensorless control using injection mode. A positive value advances the point of minimum inductance with positve Iq.

Rated Torque Angle (05.089) defines the amount of torque and flux producing current required to give maximum torque from the motor with rated current (i.e. Rated Current (05.007)) including any torque produced from saliency. The torque angle is the between the torque producing current axis of the reference frame and the current vector required to produce the torque. Ideally the following parameters should be set to the correct values for the motor: Rated Current (05.007), Ld (05.024), No-load Lq (05.072), Volts Per 1000rpm (05.033) ,Iq Test Current For Inductance Measurement (05.075), Lq At The Defined Iq Test Current (05.078), Id Test Current for Inductance Measurement (05.082) and Lq At The Defined Id Test Current (05.084). However, if Lq At The Defined Iq Test Current (05.078) or Lq At The Defined Id Test Current (05.084) are left at their default value of zero then the effect of either Iq or Id respectively on the q axis inductance (Lq) is not taken into account in calculating the rated torque angle. The torque angle under rated conditions is only calculated and written to Rated Torque Angle (05.089) if Saliency Torque Control Select (05.065) is set to one and the motor is salient under no-load conditions, i.e. Ld (05.024) ≤ No-load Lq (05.072).
