When commissioning the converter, the application macro setting is a one-off setting. Make
sure that you proceed as follows before you change the application macro setting to a value
different from your last setting:
1. Do a factory reset (P0010 = 30, P0970 = 1)
2. Repeat the quick commissioning and change the application macro
Failure to observe may cause the converter to accept the parameter settings from both the
currently and the previously selected macros, which may lead to undefined and
unexplainable operation.

This menu defines certain common applications. Each application macro provides a set of
parameter settings for a specific application. After you select an application macro, the
corresponding settings are applied to the converter to simplify the commissioning process.
The default application macro is "AP000" for application macro 0. If none of the application
macros fits your application, select the one that is the closest to your application and make
further parameter changes as desired.

AP000 Factory default setting. Makes no parameter changes.

AP010 Simple pump applications
AP020 Simple fan applications
AP021 Compressor applications
AP030 Conveyor applications

 Numbers prefixed with an "r" indicate that the parameter is a "read-only" parameter.
Numbers prefixed with a "P" indicate that the parameter is a "writable" parameter.
indicates that the parameter is an indexed parameter and specifies the range of
indices available. If the index is [0...2] and the meaning is not listed, then see "Data set".
indicates that the parameter has several bits, which can be evaluated or connected

The "Index" chapter at the end of this manual provides complete lists of CDS/DDS
parameters.

In the converter, the parameters which are used to define the sources for commands and
setpoints are combined in the (CDS), while the parameters for the open
and closed-loop control of the motor are combined in the (DDS).
The converter can be operated from different signal sources by switching over the command
data sets. When switching over the drive data sets, it is possible to switch between different
converter configurations (control type, motor).
Three independent settings are possible for each data set. These settings can be made
using the index [0...2] of the particular parameter.

For example, copying of all values from CDS0 to CDS2 can be accomplished by the
following procedure:
1. Set P0809[0] = 0: copy from CDS0
2. Set P0809[1] = 2: copy to CDS2
3. Set P0809[2] = 1: start copy

The command data sets are changed over using the BICO parameters P0810 and P0811,
whereby the active command data set is displayed in parameter r0050. Changeover is
possible in both the "Ready" and the "Run" states.

P0810 = 0 CDS0
P0811 = 0
P0810 = 1 CDS1
P0811 = 0
P0810 = 0 or 1 CDS2
P0811 = 1

The drive data sets are changed over using the BICO parameters P0820 and P0821,
whereby the active drive data set is displayed in parameter r0051. Drive data sets can only
be changed over in the "Ready" state.

P0820 = 0 DDS0
P0821 = 0
P0820 = 1 DDS1
P0821 = 0
P0820 = 0 or 1 DDS2
P0821 = 1

The "Index" chapter at the end of this manual provides groups of the BICO parameters.

Certain parameter names include the following abbreviated prefixes: BI, BO, CI, CO and
CO/BO followed by a colon. These abbreviations have the following meanings:

BI = Binector input: Parameter selects the source of a binary signal

Each BI parameter can connect as the input to any BO or CO/BO parameter.
BO = Binector output: Parameter connects as a binary signal
Each BO parameter can connect as the output to any BI parameter.
CI = Connector input: Parameter selects the source of an analog signal
Each CI parameter can connect as the input to any CO or CO/BO parameter.
CO = Connector output: Parameter connects as an analog signal
Each CO parameter can connect as the output to any CI parameter.
CO/ = Connector/binector output: Parameter connects as an analog signal and/or as a binary signal
BO Each CO/BO parameter can connect as the output to any BI or CI parameter.

8.1 Introduction to parameters

BICO or the binary interconnection technology can help the user to connect internal function
and values to realize more customized features.
BICO functionality is a different, more flexible way of setting and combining input and output
functions. It can be used in most cases in conjunction with the simple, access level 2
settings.
The BICO system allows complex functions to be programmed. Boolean and mathematical
relationships can be set up between inputs (digital, analog, serial etc.) and outputs
(converter current, frequency, analog output, digital outputs, etc.).
The default parameter that a BI or CI parameter is connected to is shown in the Factory
default column of the parameter list.

Specification of the reference quantity with which the signal value will be converted
automatically.
Reference quantities, corresponding to 100 %, are required for the statement of physical
units as percentages. These reference quantities are entered in P2000 to P2004.
In addition to P2000 to P2004 the following normalizations are used:
TEMP: 100 °C = 100 %
PERCENT: 1.0 = 100 %
4000H: 4000 hex = 100 %

Converter state in which the parameter is changeable. Three states are possible:
Commissioning: C, C(1) or C(30)
Run: U
Ready to run: T
This indicates when the parameter can be changed. One, two or all three states may be
specified. If all three states are specified, this means that it is possible to change this
parameter setting in all three converter states. C shows the parameter is changeable
whatever P0010 equals; C(1) shows that the parameter is changeable only when P0010 = 1;
C(30) shows that the parameter is changeable only when P0010 = 30.

Resetting of the parameters will be started by setting parameter P0970 = 1. The converter will automat-
ically reset all its parameters to their default settings. This can prove beneficial if you experience prob-
lems during parameter setup and wish to start again.

Resetting of the user default values will be started by setting parameter P0970 = 21. The converter will
automatically reset all its parameters to the factory default settings. Duration of factory setting will take
about 60 seconds.

1. Set P0003 = 3 (expert user).

2. Go to P0013 indices 0 to 16 (user list)
3. Enter into P0013 index 0 to 16 the parameters required to be visible in the user-defined list.
The following values are fixed and cannot be changed:
- P0013 index 17 = 3 (user access level)
- P0013 index 18 = 10 (commissioning parameter filter)
- P0013 index 19 = 12 (key for user defined parameter)
4. Set P0003 = 0 to activate the user defined parameter.
[0] 1st user parameter
[1] 2nd user parameter

First, set P0011 ("lock") to a different value then P0012 ("key") to prevent changes to user-defined parame-
ter.
Then, set P0003 to 0 to activate the user-defined list.
When locked and the user-defined parameter is activated, the only way to exit the user-defined parameter

P0205 0-1 0 C1 - - U16 3

Selects a converter application.
The converter and motor requirements are determined by the speed range and torque requirements of the
load. The relationship between speed and torque for different loads (high overloads or low overloads) is
shown in the following figure:

• High overload (HO):

HO mode is used if the application needs a high overload on the whole frequency range. Many loads
can be considered to be high overloads. Typical high overloads are conveyors, compressors and posi-
tive displacement pumps.
• Low overload (LO):
LO mode is used if the application has a parabolic frequency/torque characteristic like many fans and
pumps. Low overload offers the following possibilities with the same converter:
– Higher rated converter current r0207
– Higher rated converter power r0206
– Higher threshold for I2t protection
If P0205 is modified in quick commissioning it immediately calculates various motor parameters:
– P0305 Rated motor current
– P0307 Rated motor power
– P0640 Motor overload factor
It is recommended to modify P0205 first. Afterwards motor parameter may be adapted.
Motor parameter will be overridden by changing this sequence.

P0210 380 - 480 400 T - - U16 3
P0210 defines the supply voltage. Its default value depends upon the type of converter. If P0210 does not
correspond to the supply voltage, then it must be modified.
Optimizes Vdc controller, which extends the ramp-down time if regenerative energy from motor would
otherwise cause DC-link overvoltage trips.
Reducing the value enables controller to cut in earlier and reduce the risk of overvoltage.
Set P1254 ("Auto detect Vdc switch-on levels") = 0. Cut-in levels for Vdc controller and compound braking
are then derived directly from P0210 (supply voltage):
• Vdc_min switch-on level (r1246) = P1245 * sqrt(2) * P0210
• Vdc_max switch-on level (r1242) = 1.15 * sqrt(2) * P0210
• Dynamic braking switch-on level = 1.13 * sqrt(2) * P0210
• Compound braking switch-on level = 1.13 * sqrt(2) * P0210
Set P1254 ("Auto detect Vdc switch-on levels") = 1. Cut-in levels for Vdc controller and compound braking
are then derived from r0070 (DC-link voltage):
• Vdc_min switch-on level (r1246) = P1245 * r0070
• Vdc_max switch-on level (r1242) = 1.15 * r0070
• Dynamic braking switch-on level = 0.98 * r1242
• Compound braking switch-on level = 0.98 * r1242
Auto-detection calculations are only performed when the converter has been in standby for over 20s.
When pulses are enabled, the calculated values are frozen after pulses are ceased for 20s.
For best results, it is recommended that auto-detection of Vdc switch-on levels (P1254 = 1) is used. Set-
ting P1254 = 0 is only recommended when there is a high degree of fluctuation of the DC-link when the
motor is being driven. In this case, ensure the setting of P0210 is correct.
If mains voltage is higher than value entered, automatic deactivation of the Vdc controller may occur to
avoid acceleration of the motor. A warning will be issued in this case (A910).
Default value is depending on converter type and its rating data.

P0290 = 0, 2:
• Reduction of output frequency is only effective if the load is also reduced.

This is for example valid for light overload applications with a quadratic torque characteristic as pumps or fans.
• For settings P0290 = 0 or 2, the I-max controller will act upon the output current limit (r0067) in case of overtemper-
ature.
P0290 = 0:
• With pulse frequencies above nominal, pulse frequency will be reduced to nominal immediately in the event of
r0027 greater than r0067 (current limit).
P0290 = 2, 3:
• The pulse frequency P1800 is reduced only if higher than 2 kHz and if the operating frequency is below 2 Hz.
• The actual pulse frequency is displayed in r1801[0] and the minimal pulse frequency for reduction is displayed in
r1801[1].
• Converter I2t acts upon output current and output frequency, but not on pulse frequency.
A trip will always result, if the action taken does not sufficiently reduce internal temperatures.

correctly. In these cases use P1900.
When transferring P0340, the converter uses its processor to carry out internal calculations. Communica-

P0341[0...2] 0.0001 - 0.0018 U, T - DDS Float 3

1000.0
Sets no-load inertia of motor.
Together with P0342 (inertia ratio total/motor) and P1496 (scaling factor acceleration), this value produces
the acceleration torque (r1518), which can be added to any additional torque produced from a BICO
source (P1511), and incorporated in the torque control function.
This parameter is influenced by automatic calculations defined by P0340.
The result of P0341 * P0342 is included in the speed controller calculation.
P0341 * P0342 = total motor inertia
P1496 = 100 % activates acceleration pre-control for the speed controller and calculates the torque from
P0341 and P0342.

parameters) but can also be entered manually. Default value is depending on converter type and its rating
data.
r0345[0...2] - - - - DDS Float 3
Displays motor start-up time. This time corresponds to the standardized motor inertia. The start-up time is
the time taken to reach rated motor speed from standstill at acceleration with rated motor torque (r0333).

zation builds up during this time. Magnetization time is normally calculated automatically from the motor
data and corresponds to the rotor time constant.
See P0341
An excessive reduction of this time can result in insufficient motor magnetization.
If boost settings are higher than 100 %, magnetization time may be reduced. Default value is depending
on converter type and its rating data.

2000.0
Stator resistance value for connected motor (line value). The parameter value doesn't include the cable
resistance.
See P0341
There are three ways to determine the value for this parameter:
• Calculate using
– P0340 = 1 (data entered from rating plate) or
– P0010 = 1, P3900 = 1, 2 or 3 (end of quick commissioning).
• Measure using P1900 = 2 (standard motor data identification - value for stator resistance is overwrit-
ten).
• Measure manually using an Ohmmeter.
Since the manually measured resistor is a line-to-line value, which includes the cable resistors, the meas-
ured value has to be divided by two and the cable resistor of a line has to be subtracted from that value.
The value entered in P0350 is the one obtained by the method last used. Default value is depending on
converter type and its rating data.

r0755[0...1] - - - 4000H - I16 2

Analog setpoint (ASP) from the analog scaling block can vary from minimum analog setpoint (ASPmin) to
a maximum analog setpoint (ASPmax).
The largest magnitude (value without sign) of ASPmin and ASPmax defines the scaling of 16384.
By associating r0755 with an internal value (e.g. frequency setpoint), a scaled value is calculated internally
by the converter.
The frequency value is calculated using the following equation:
r0755 [Hz] = (r0755 [hex]/4000 [hex]) * P2000 * (max (|ASP_max|, |ASP_min|)/100%)

Case a:
ASPmin = 300 %, ASPmax = 100 % then 16384 represents 300 %.
This parameter will vary from 5461 to 16384.
Case b:
ASPmin = -200 %, ASPmax = 100 % then 16384 represents 200 %.
This parameter will vary from -16384 to +8192.

See r0752
This value is used as an input to analog BICO connectors. ASPmax represents the highest analog set-
point (this may be at 10 V). ASPmin represents the lowest analog setpoint (this may be at 0 V). See
P0757 to P0760 (analog input scaling).
P0756[0...1] 0-4 0 T - - U16 2

2 Unipolar current input (0 to 20 mA)
3 Unipolar current input with monitoring (0 to 20 mA)
4 Bipolar voltage input (-10 V to 10 V)
See r0752
The monitoring function is disabled if the analog scaling block is programmed to output negative setpoints
(see P0757 to P0760).
When monitoring is enabled and a deadband defined (P0761), a fault condition will be generated (F80) if
the analog input voltage falls below 50 % of the deadband voltage. It is not possible to select the bipolar
voltage for analog input 2.
For P0756 = 4, you need to ensure the analog input scaling, for example, if you desire to obtain an output
frequency within the range of -50 Hz to 50 Hz, you can set parameters P0757 to P0760 within their nega-
tive ranges (examples: P0757 = -10 V, P0758 = -100%).
See P0757 to P0760 (analog input scaling).
In current mode, if the input exceeds 24mA, the converter will trip F80/11 for analog input 1 and F80/12 for
analog input 2. This will result in channel switching back to voltage mode. Analog input parameter read-
ings for the channel concerned will no longer be updated until the fault (F80) has been reset. Once the
fault has been reset then the input will switch back to current mode and normal readings will resume.

The following example produces a 2 V to 10 V, 0 Hz to 50 Hz analog input (analog input value 2 V to 10 V,
0 Hz to 50 Hz):
• P2000 = 50 Hz
• P0759 = 8 V P0760 = 75 %
• P0757 = 2 V P0758 = 0 %
• P0761 = 2 V
• P0756 = 0 or 1
The following example produces a 0 V to 10 V analog input (-50 Hz to +50 Hz) with center zero and a
"holding point" 0.2 V wide (0.1 V to each side of center, analog input value 0 V to 10 V, -50 Hz to +50 Hz):
• P2000 = 50 Hz
• P0759 = 8.75 V P0760 = 75 %
• P0757 = 1.25 V P0758 = -75 %
• P0761 = 0.1 V
• P0756 = 0 or 1
See r0752
Deadband starts from 0 V to value of P0761, if both values of P0758 and P0760 (y coordinates of analog
input scaling) are positive or negative respectively. However, deadband is active in both directions from
point of intersection (x axis with analog input scaling curve), if sign of P0758 and P0760 are opposite.

It is possible that this parameter is empty but a fault is still indicated by the converter. The reason for this
is most likely due to a SAFE condition still existing in the system. In this situation the fault is cleared from
this parameter and it makes no sense to go back to a READY state. First remove the reason for the SAFE
condition and then the converter will be able to change to a READY state (SAFE condition example is
"safety function is activated").
The function "converter status at fault" (Page 341) serves as a snapshot record in time of the relative
parameters being monitored at the point of a fault occurring. Some recorded parameters are filtered val-
ues. Therefore if a hardware trip occurs, (r0949 = 0), some filtered values may not appear to reflect those
values which caused the trip.
If a hardware overvoltage trip occurs, (r0947 = 2 and r0949 = 0), the value of the filtered DC link voltage in
r0956 may appear to be under the trip limit. In this case, the filtered DC link value had not had enough
time to rise to the trip level; however, the actual limit had been exceeded and hence the hardware had
tripped to protect itself.

Displays number of trips stored in r0947 (last fault code).
Setting 0 resets fault history (changing to 0 also resets r0948 - fault time).
If the source of a non-momentary fault remains active before a factory reset, the converter removes the
source first and then places the fault into the fault history during a factory reset. That means P0952 still
has a non-zero value after the factory reset. If you want to clear the fault history, you need to perform a
second factory reset or set P0952 = 0.

Defines fixed frequency setpoint 1. There are 2 types of fixed frequencies:
• Direct selection (P1016 = 1):
– In this mode, 1 fixed frequency selector (P1020 to P1023) selects 1 fixed frequency (P1001 to
P1004).
– If several inputs are active together, the selected frequencies are summed.
Example: fixed frequency 1 (P1001) + fixed frequency 2 (P1002) + fixed frequency 3 (P1003) +
fixed frequency 4 (P1004).
• Binary coded selection (P1016 = 2):
– Up to 16 different fixed frequency values can be selected using this method.

See P1020 to P1023 for assigning desired digital inputs to the fixed frequency bits.
Select fixed frequency operation (using P1000).

If motor potentiometer setpoint is selected either as main setpoint or additional setpoint, the reverse direc-
tion will be inhibited by default of P1032 (inhibit reverse direction of MOP). To re-enable reverse direction,
set P1032 = 0.
A short press of the 'up' or 'down' keys (e.g.: operator panel) will change the frequency setpoint in steps of
0.1 Hz. A longer press will cause an accelerated frequency setpoint change.
The start value gets active (for the MOP output) only at the start of the MOP. P1031 influences the start
value behavior as follows:
• P1031 = 0: Last MOP setpoint not saved in P1040
MOP UP/DOWN requires an ON command to become active.
• P1031 = 1: Last MOP setpoint saved in P1040 on every OFF
MOP UP/DOWN requires an ON command to become active (default).
• P1031 = 2: Last MOP setpoint not saved in P1040

P1058[0...2] 0.00 - 550.00 5.00 U, T - DDS Float 2
Jogging increases the motor speed by small amounts. The JOG mode allows the operator to perform a
specific number of revolutions and position the rotor manually. In JOG mode, the RUN button on the op-
erator panel for jogging uses a non-latching switch on one of the digital inputs to control the motor speed.
While jogging, P1058 determines the frequency at which the converter will run. The motor speed is in-
creased as long as 'JOG left' or 'JOG right' are selected and until the left or right JOG frequency is
reached.
P1060 and P1061 set up and down ramp times respectively for jogging. Rounding times (P1130 - P1133),
rounding type (P1134) and P2167 will also have influence on the JOG ramp.

P1080[0...2] 0.00 - 550.00 0.00 C, U, T - DDS Float 1
Sets minimum motor frequency at which motor will run irrespective of frequency setpoint. The minimum
frequency P1080 represents a masking frequency of 0 Hz for all frequency target value sources e.g. ana-
log input, MOP, FF, USS with the exception of the JOG target value source (analogous to P1091). Thus
the frequency band +/-P1080 is run through in optimum time by means of the acceleration/deceleration
ramps. Dwelling in the frequency band is not possible. Furthermore, an overshoot of the actual frequency
f_act upper minimum frequency P1080 is output by the signal function |f_act| > f_min.
Value set here is valid both for clockwise and for counterclockwise rotation.
Under certain conditions (e.g. ramping, current limiting), motor can run below minimum frequency.

Furthermore, the monitoring function |f_act| >= P1082 (r0052 bit 10, see example below) is affected by
this parameter.

The maximum value of P1082 also depends on the nominal frequency: Max. P1082 = min (15*P0310,
550.0 Hz). As consequence P1082 can be affected if P0310 is changed to a smaller value. The maximum
frequency and the pulse frequency depending on each other. The maximum frequency affects the pulse
frequency according to the following table.

2 kHz 4 kHz 6 kHz 8 - 16 kHz
fmax P1082 0 - 133.3 Hz 0 - 266.6 Hz 0 - 400 Hz 0 - 550.0 Hz
Example:
If P1082 is set to 350 Hz a pulse frequency from at least 6 kHz is necessary. If P1800 is smaller than 6
kHz the parameter is changed P1800 = 6 kHz.
The maximum output frequency of converter can be exceeded if one of the following is active:

When using the setpoint source

• Analog Input
• USS
the setpoint frequency (in Hz) is cyclically calculated using
• a percentage value(e.g. for the analog input r0754)
• a hexadecimal value (e.g. for the USS r2018[1])
• and the reference frequency P2000.
If for example P1082 = 80 Hz, P2000 = 50 Hz and the analog input is parameterized with P0757 = 0 V,
P0758 = 0 %, P0759 = 10 V, P0760 = 100 %, a setpoint frequency of 50 Hz will be applied at 10 V of the
analog input. When Quick Commissioning is carried out P2000 is changed as follows: P2000 = P1082.

Stationary operation is not possible within the suppressed frequency range; the range is merely passed
through (on the ramp). For example, if P1091 = 10 Hz and P1101 = 2 Hz, it is not possible to operate

P1120[0...2] 0.00 - 650.00 10.00 C, U, T - DDS Float 1
Time taken for motor to accelerate from standstill up to maximum motor frequency (P1082) when no
rounding is used. Setting the ramp-up time too short can cause the converter to trip (overcurrent F1).
Rounding times (P1130 - P1133), rounding type (P1134), and ramp-up time scaling factor (P1138) will
also have influence on the ramp.
See also P3350, P3353.
Ramp times will be used as follows:
• P1060/P1061 : JOG mode is active
• P1120/P1121 : Normal mode (ON/OFF) is active
• P1060/P1061 : Normal mode (ON/OFF) and P1124 is active
Set ramp-up time = ramp-up time scaling factor (P1138) x ramp-up time (P1120).
If an external frequency setpoint with set ramp rates is used (e.g. from a PLC), the best way to achieve
optimum converter performance is to set ramp times in P1120 and P1121 slightly shorter than those of the
PLC. Changes to P1120 will be immediately effective. If the SuperTorque function is enabled, the con-
verter will initially ramp using the value in P3353.

rounding is used.
Ramp-down time scaling factor (P1139) will also have influence on the ramp.
See also P3350, P3353.
Setting the ramp-down time too short can cause the converter to trip (overcurrent F1/overvoltage F2).

P1202[0...2] 10 - 200 100 U, T - DDS U16 3

Defines search current used for flying start. Value is in [%] based on rated motor current (P0305).
Reducing the search current may improve performance for flying start if the inertia of the system is not
very high. However, search current settings in P1202 that are below 30% (and sometimes other settings
in P1202 and P1203) may cause motor speed to be found prematurely or too late, which can result in F1
or F2 trips.
P1203[0...2] 10 - 500 100 U, T - DDS U16 3

Sets factor (in V/f mode only) by which the output frequency changes during flying start to synchronize
with turning motor. This value is entered in [%]. It defines the reciprocal initial gradient in the search se-
quence. P1203 influences the time taken to search for the motor frequency.
For a motor with 50 Hz, 1350 rpm, 100 % would produce a maximum search time of 600 ms.
A higher value produces a flatter gradient and thus a longer search time. A lower value has the opposite
effect.

Automatic restart requires constant ON command via a digital input wire link.
P1210 > 2 can cause the motor to restart automatically without toggling the ON command!
A "mains brownout" is a very short mains break, where the DC link has not fully collapsed before the pow-
er is reapplied.
A "mains blackout" is a long mains break, where the DC link has fully collapsed before the power is re-
applied.
"Delay Time" is the time between attempts of quitting fault. The "Delay Time" of first attempt is 1 second,
then it will be doubled every next attempt.
The "Number of Restart Attempts" can be set in P1211. This is the number of restarts the converter will try
to quit fault.
When faults are quit and after 4 seconds of no fault condition, "Number of Restart Attempts" will be reset to
P1211 and "Delay Time" will be reset to 1 second.
P1210 = 0:
Automatic restart is disabled.
P1210 = 1:
The converter will acknowledge (reset) faults i.e. it will reset a fault when the power is re-applied. This
means the converter must be fully powered down, a brownout is not sufficed. The converter will not run
until the ON command has been toggled.
P1210 = 2:
The converter will acknowledge the fault F3 at power on after blackout and restarts the converter. It is
necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (digital input).
P1210 = 3:
For these settings it is fundamental that the converter only restarts if it has been in a RUN state at the time
of the faults (F3, etc.). The converter will acknowledge the fault and restarts the converter after a brownout.
It is necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (digital input).
P1210 = 4:
For these settings it is fundamental that the converter only restarts if it has been in a RUN state at the time
of the fault (F3). The converter will acknowledge the fault and restarts the converter after a brownout. It is
necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (digital input).
P1210 = 5:
The converter will acknowledge the faults F3 etc. at power on after blackout and restarts the converter. It is
necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (digital input).

P1210 = 6:
The converter will acknowledge the faults (F3 etc.) at power on after blackout or brownout and restarts the
converter. It is necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (digital input). Setting 6 causes
the motor to restart immediately.
P1210 = 7:
The converter will acknowledge the faults (F3 etc.) at power on after blackout or brownout and restarts the
converter. It is necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (digital input). Setting 7 causes
the motor to restart immediately.
The difference between this mode and Mode 6 is that the fault status bit (r0052.3) is not set until the num-
ber of restarts defined by P1211 have been exhausted.
Flying start must be used in cases where the motor may still be turning (e.g. after a short mains break) or
can be driven by the load (P1200).
P1210 = 8:
The converter will acknowledge the fault (F3) at power on after blackout or brownout and restarts. It is
necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (DI). Setting 8 causes the motor to restart im-
mediately. The interval between restarts is determined by P1214.
P1210 = 9:
The converter will acknowledge the fault (F3) at power on after blackout or brownout and restarts. It is
necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (DI). The interval between restarts is fixed at
0.5 s. P1214 sets the total restart attempt time. If an F3 occurs and cannot be acknowledged within the
time set in P1214, the F3 will go permanent and must be acknowledged manually to restart the converter.
P1210 = 10:
• The converter will acknowledge the fault (F3) at power on after blackout or brownout and restarts. It is
necessary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (DI). The interval between restarts is fixed
at 1.0 s. P1214 sets the total restart attempt time, but it must be equal to or less than 8 s. If an F3 oc-
curs and cannot be acknowledged within the time set in P1214, the F3 will go permanent and must be
acknowledged manually to restart the converter.
• If a fault (the converter cannot recover from F6, F51, F52, F85, F100, and F101) occurs, the fault must
be acknowledged manually at power on after blackout or brownout and the converter restarts. It is nec-
essary that the ON command is wired via a digital input (DI).
Flying start must be used in cases where the motor may still be turning (e.g. after a short mains break) or
can be driven by the load (P1200).

This parameter has either of the following functions:
• Specifying the restart interval when P1210 = 8
• Specifying the total restart attempt time when P1210 = 9 or P1210 = 10
P1215 0-1 0 C, T - - U16 2
Enables/disables holding brake function. The motor holding brake (MHB) is controlled via status word 1
r0052 bit 12. This signal can be issued via:
• status word of the serial interface (e.g. USS)
• digital outputs (e.g. DO1: ==> P0731 = 52.C (r0052 bit 12))
0 Motor holding brake disabled
1 Motor holding brake enabled
If the converter controls the motor holding brake, then a commissioning may not be carried out for poten-
tially hazardous loads (e.g. suspended loads for crane applications) unless the load has been secured.
It is not permissible to use the motor holding brake as working brake, as it is generally only designed for a
limited number of emergency braking operations.

Sets the monitoring time for the standstill identification.

When braking with OFF1 or OFF3, standstill is identified after this time has expired, after the setpoint
speed has fallen below P2167. After this, the braking signal is started, the system waits for the closing time
and then the pulses are cancelled.
P1227 = 300.0: function is deactivated
P1227 = 0.0: pulses are locked immediately
If P1217 > P1227, P1227 will take precedence.
P1230[0...2] 0 - 4294967295 0 U, T - CDS U32 3
Enables DC braking via a signal applied from an external source. Function remains active while external
input signal is active. DC braking causes the motor to stop rapidly by applying a DC braking current (cur-
rent applied also holds shaft stationary).
When the DC braking signal is applied, the converter output pulses are blocked and the DC current is not
applied until the motor has been sufficiently demagnetized. This delay time is set in P0347 (demagnetiza-
tion time). If this delay is too short, overcurrent trips can occur. The level of DC braking is set in P1232 (DC
braking current - relative to the rated motor current) which is set to 100 % by default.
With the DC braking, the kinetic energy of the motor is converted into heat in the motor. The converter
could overheat if it remains in this status for an excessive period of time!
P1232[0...2] 0 - 250 100 U, T - DDS U16 2
Defines level of DC current relative to rated motor current (P0305). The DC braking can be issued observ-

• OFF1/OFF3 ==> see P1233
• BICO ==> see P1230
P1233[0...2] 0.00 - 250.00 0.00 U, T - DDS Float 2
Defines duration for which DC braking is active following an OFF1 or OFF3 command.
When an OFF1 or OFF3 command is received by the converter, the output frequency starts to ramp to 0 Hz.
When the output frequency reaches the value set in P1234, the converter injects a DC braking current
P1232 for the time duration set in P1233.
See P1230
The DC braking function causes the motor to stop rapidly by applying a DC braking current.
When the DC braking signal is applied, the converter output pulses are blocked and the DC current not
applied until the motor has been sufficiently demagnetized (demagnetization time is calculated automati-
cally from motor data).
P1233 = 0 means that DC braking is not activated.

When an OFF1 or OFF3 command is received by the converter, the output frequency starts to ramp to 0 Hz.
When the output frequency reaches the value set in start frequency of DC braking P1234, the converter
injects a DC braking current P1232 for the time duration set in P1233.
P1236[0...2] 0 - 250 0 U, T - DDS U16 2

Defines DC level superimposed on AC waveform after exceeding DC-link voltage threshold of compound
braking. The value is entered in [%] relative to rated motor current (P0305). Compound braking switch-on
level (V_DC,Comp):
If P1254 = 0 --> V_DC,Comp = 1.13 * sqrt(2) * V_mains = 1.13 * sqrt(2) * P0210
otherwise V_DC,Comp = 0.98 * r1242
The Compound Brake is an overlay of the DC brake function with regenerative braking (effective braking at
the ramp) after OFF1 or OFF3. This enables braking with controlled motor frequency and a minimum of
energy returned to the motor. Through optimization of the ramp-down time and the compound braking an
efficient braking without additional HW components is possible.
Compound braking depends on the DC link voltage only (see threshold above). This will happen on OFF1,
OFF3 and any regenerative condition. It is disabled, when:
• DC braking is active
• Flying start is active
Increasing the value will generally improve braking performance; however, if you set the value too high, an
overcurrent trip may result.
If used with dynamic braking enabled as well compound braking will take priority.
If used with the Vdc_max controller enabled the converter behavior when braking may be worsened partic-
ularly with high values of compound braking.
P1236 = 0 means that compound braking is not activated.
P1237 0-5 0 U, T - - U16 2
Dynamic braking absorbs the braking energy in a braking resistor.
This parameter defines the rated duty cycle of the braking resistor.
Dynamic braking is active when the function is enabled and DC-link voltage exceeds the dynamic braking
switch-on level.
Dynamic braking switch-on level (V_DC,Chopper) :
If P1254 = 0 --> V_DC,Chopper = 1.13 * sqrt(2) * V_mains = 1.13 * sqrt(2) * P0210

This parameter is only applicable for converters of frame size D and E. For frame sizes AA to C, the duty
cycle of the braking resistor can be selected with the dynamic braking module (see Appendix "Dynamic
braking module (Page 375)").

If dynamic braking is used with DC braking enabled as well as compound braking, DC braking and com-
pound braking will take priority.

Initially the brake will operate at a high duty cycle dependent on the DC link level until the thermal limit is
approached. The duty cycle specified by this parameter will then be imposed. The resistor should be able
to operate at this level indefinitely without overheating.

The threshold for the warning A535 is equivalent to 10 seconds running at 95 % duty cycle. The duty cycle
will be limited when it was running 12 seconds at 95 % duty cycle.

If P1245 increased too much, it may interfere with the converter normal operation.
• Vdc_max controller:
Vdc_max controller automatically increases ramp-down times to keep the DC-link voltage (r0026) with-
in limits (r1242).
• Vdc_min controller:
Vdc_min is activated if DC-link voltage falls below the switch on level P1245. The kinetic energy of the
motor is then used to buffer the DC-link voltage, thus causing deceleration of the converter. If the con-
verter trips with F3 immediately, try increasing the dynamic factor P1247 first. If still tripping with F3 try
then increasing the switch on level P1245.

ENT
Defines boost level in [%] relative to P0305 (rated motor current) applicable to both linear and quadratic V/f
curves.
At low output frequencies the output voltage is low to keep the flux level constant. However, the output
voltage may be too low for the following:
• magnetization the asynchronous motor
• hold the load
• overcome losses in the system.
The converter output voltage can be increased via P1310 for the compensation of losses, holding loads at
0 Hz, or maintaining the magnetization.
The magnitude of the boost in Volt at a frequency of zero is defined as follows:
V_ConBoost,100 = P0305 * Rsadj * (P1310/100)
Where:
Rsadj = stator resistance adjusted for temperature
Rsadj = (r0395/100) * (P0304/(sqrt(3) * P0305)) * P0305 * sqrt(3)

Increasing the boost levels increases motor heating (especially at standstill).

Setting in P0640 (motor overload factor [%]) limits the boost:
sum(V_Boost)/(P0305 * Rsadj) <= P1310/100
The boost values are combined when continuous boost (P1310) used in conjunction with other boost pa-
rameters (acceleration boost P1311 and starting boost P1312). However priorities are allocated to these
parameters as follows:
P1310 > P1311 > P1312

ENT
Applies boost in [%] relative to P0305 (rated motor current) following a positive setpoint change and drops
back out once the setpoint is reached.
P1311 will only produce boost during ramping, and is therefore useful for additional torque during accelera-
tion and deceleration.
As opposed to P1312, which is only active on the first acceleration issued after the ON command, P1311
is always effect during an acceleration and deceleration when issued.
The magnitude of the boost in volt at a frequency of zero is defined as follows:
V_AccBoost,100 = P0305 * Rsadj * (P1311/100)
Where:
Rsadj = stator resistance adjusted for temperature
Rsadj = (r0395/100) * (P0304/(sqrt(3) * P0305)) * P0305 * sqrt(3)
See P1310
P1312[0...2] 0.0 - 250.0 0.0 U, T PERC DDS Float 2
ENT
Applies a constant linear offset (in [%] relative to P0305 (rated motor current)) to active V/f curve (either
linear or quadratic) after an ON command and is active until:
1. ramp output reaches setpoint for the first time respectively
2. setpoint is reduced to less than present ramp output
This is useful for starting loads with high inertia. Setting the starting boost (P1312) too high will cause the

The magnitude of the boost in volt at a frequency of zero is defined as follows:
V_StartBoost,100 = P0305 * Rsadj * (P1312/100)
Where:
Rsadj = stator resistance adjusted for temperature
Rsadj = (r0395/100) * (P0304/(sqrt(3) * P0305)) * P0305 * sqrt(3)

Parameter dynamically adjusts converter output frequency so that motor speed is kept constant independ-
ent of motor load.
In the V/f-control, the motor frequency will always be less than the converter output frequency due to the
slip frequency. For a given output frequency, the motor frequency will drop as load is increased. This be-
havior, typical for induction motors, can be compensated using slip compensation. P1335 can be used to
enable and fine-tune the slip compensation.
Gain adjustment enables fine-tuning of the actual motor speed.
P1335 > 0, P1336 > 0, P1337 = 0 if P1300 = 5, 6.

P1338[0...2] 0.00 - 10.00 0.00 U, T - DDS Float 3

Defines resonance damping gain for V/f. The di/dt of the active current will be scaled by P1338. If di/dt
increases the resonance damping circuit decreases the converter output frequency.
This parameter is influenced by automatic calculations defined by P0340.
The resonance circuit damps oscillations of the active current which frequently occur during no-load opera-
tion. In V/ f modes (see P1300), the resonance damping circuit is active in a range from approx. 6 % to 80
% of rated motor frequency (P0310). If the value of P1338 is too high, this will cause instability (forward
control effect).
P1340[0...2] 0.000 - 0.499 0.030 U, T - DDS Float 3

Proportional gain of the I_max controller.

The Imax controller reduces converter current if the output current exceeds the maximum motor current
(r0067).
In linear V/f, parabolic V/f, FCC, and programmable V/f modes the I_max controller uses both a frequency
controller (see P1340 and P1341) and a voltage controller (see P1345 and P1346).
The frequency controller seeks to reduce current by limiting the converter output frequency (to a minimum
of the two times nominal slip frequency).
If this action does not successfully remove the overcurrent condition, the converter output voltage is re-
duced using the I_max voltage controller.
When the overcurrent condition has been removed successfully, frequency limiting is removed using the
ramp-up time set in P1120.
In linear V/f for textiles, FCC for textiles, or external V/f modes only the I_max voltage controller is used to
reduce current (see P1345 and P1346).
The I_max controller can be disabled by setting the frequency controller integral time P1341 to zero. This
disables both the frequency and voltage controllers.
Note that when disabled, the I_max controller will take no action to reduce current but overcurrent warn-
ings will still be generated, and the converter will trip in excessive overcurrent or overload conditions.

r1348 - - - PERCENT - Float 2

Displays the calculated economy mode factor (range 80%-120%) applied to the demanded output volts.
Economy mode is used to find the most efficient operating point for a given load. It does this by a continu-
ous method of hill climbing optimization. Hill climbing optimization works by slightly changing the output
volts either up or down and monitoring the change in input power. If the input power has decreased, the
algorithm changes the output volts in the same direction. If the input power has increased then the algo-
rithm adjusts the output volts in the other direction. Using this algorithm, the software should be able to
find the minimum point on the graph between input power and output volts.
If this value is too low, the system may become unstable.

Sets pulse frequency of power switches in converter. The frequency can be changed in steps of 2 kHz.
The minimum/maximum/default values of the pulse frequency are determined by the used power module.
Furthermore the minimum pulse frequency depends on the parameterization of P1082 (maximum fre-
quency) and P0310 (rated motor frequency).
If the pulse frequency is increased, maximum converter current r0209 can be reduced (derating). The
derating characteristic depends on the type and power of the converter.
If silent operation is not absolutely necessary, lower pulse frequencies may be selected to reduce con-
verter losses and radio-frequency emissions.
Under certain circumstances, the converter may reduce the pulse frequency to provide protection against
overtemperature (see P0290 and P0291 bit 00).

Where:
• hexadecimal 4000 H ==> P2000 (e.g.: USS-PZD)
• percentage 100 % ==> P2000 (e.g.: analog input)
If a BICO connection is made between two parameters or alternatively using P0719 or P1000, the 'unit' of
the parameters (standardized (Hex) or physical (i.e. Hz) values) may differ. SINAMICS implicitly makes an
automatic conversion to the target value.

When Quick Commissioning is carried out, P2000 is changed as follows: P2000 = P1082.
P2000 represents the reference frequency of the above mentioned interfaces.
A maximum frequency setpoint of 2*P2000 can be applied via the corresponding interface.
Unlike P1082 (Maximum Frequency) this limits the converter frequency internally independent of the ref-
erence frequency.

USS protocol consists of PZD and PKW which can be changed by the user via P2012 and P2013 respec-
tively. P2013 determines the number of PKW-words in a USS-telegram. Setting P2013 to 3 or 4 deter-
mines the length of the PKW words (3 = three words and 4 = four words). When P2013 set to 127
automatically adjusts the length of the PKW words are required.

If a fixed PKW length is selected only one parameter value can be transferred.
In the case of indexed parameter, you must use the variable PKW length if you wish to have the values of
all indices transferred in a single telegram.
In selecting the fixed PKW length, it is important to ensure the value in question can be transferred using
this PKW length.
P2013 = 3, fixes PKW length, but does not allow access to many parameter values.
A parameter fault is generated when an out-of-range value is used. The value will not be accepted but the

It is the total time the converter has been powered up. When power is switched off, the value is saved,
and then restored on powerup. The run time counter will be calculate as followed:
Multiply the value in r2114[0] by 65536 and then add it to the value in r2114[1]. The resultant answer will
be in seconds. This means that r2114[0] is not days. Total powerup time = 65536 * r2114[0] + r2114[1]
seconds.
If r2114[0] = 1 and r2114[1] = 20864
We get 1 * 65536 + 20864 = 86400 seconds which equals 1 day.

P2115[0...2] 0 - 65535 257 T - - U16 4
Displays real time.
All converters require an on-board clock function with which fault conditions may be time-stamped and
logged. However, they have no battery backed Real Time Clock (RTC). Converters may support a soft-
ware driven RTC which requires synchronization with the RTC supplied via a serial interface.
The time is stored in a word array parameter P2115. The time will be set by USS Protocol standard "word
array parameter write" telegrams. Once the last word is received in index 2, the software will start running
the timer itself using internal running 1 millisecond tic. Hence becoming like RTC.
If power-cycle takes place, then the real time must be sent again to the converter.
Time is maintained in a word array parameter and encoded as follows - the same format will be used in
fault report logs.

Allows user to enable/disable the PID controller. Setting to 1 enables the PID closed-loop controller.
Setting 1 automatically disables normal ramp times set in P1120 and P1121 and the normal frequency
setpoints.
Following an OFF1 or OFF3 command, however, the converter frequency will ramp down to zero using
the ramp time set in P1121 (P1135 for OFF3).
The minimum and maximum motor frequencies (P1080 and P1082) as well as the skip frequencies
(P1091 to P1094) remain active on the converter output.
However, enabling skip frequencies with PID control can produce instabilities.
The PID setpoint source is selected using P2253.
The PID setpoint and the PID feedback signal are interpreted as [%] values (not [Hz]).
The output of the PID controller is displayed as [%] and then normalized into [Hz] through P2000 (refer-
ence frequency) when PID is enabled.

P2201[0...2] -200.00 - 200.00 10.00 U, T - DDS Float 2

Defines fixed PID setpoint 1. There are 2 types of fixed frequencies:
1. Direct selection (P2216 = 1):
– In this mode of operation 1 Fixed Frequency selector (P2220 to P2223) selects 1 fixed frequency.
– If several inputs are active together, the selected frequencies are summed. E.g.: PID-FF1 + PID-
FF2 + PID-FF3 + PID-FF4.
2. Binary coded selection (P2216 = 2):
– Up to 16 different fixed frequency values can be selected using this method.
P2200 = 1 required in user access level 2 to enable setpoint source.
You may mix different types of frequencies; however, remember that they will be summed if selected

To change setpoint:
- Configure a digital input as source
- Use UP/DOWN key on operator panel.
If this command is enabled by short pulses of less than 1 second, the frequency is changed in steps of 0.2
% (P0310). When the signal is enabled longer than 1 second the ramp generator accelerates with the rate
of P2247.

P2240[0...2] -200.00 - 200.00 10.00 U, T - DDS Float 2
Setpoint of the motor potentiometer. Allows user to set a digital PID setpoint in [%].
P2240 = 100 % corresponds to 4000 hex.
The start value gets active (for the MOP output) only at the start of the MOP. P2231 influences the start
value behavior as follows:
• P2231 = 0:
P2240 gets immediately active in the OFF-state and when changed in the ON-state, it gets active after
the next OFF and ON cycle.
• P2231 = 1:
The last MOP output before stop is stored as starting value, since storing is selected, so a change of
P2240 while in ON-state has no effect. In OFF-state P2240 can be changed.
• P2231 = 2:
The MOP is active every time, so the change of P2240 affects after the next power-cycle or a change
of P2231 to 0.
• P2231 = 3:
The last MOP output before power down is stored as starting value, since the MOP is active inde-
pendent from the ON-command, a change of P2240 has only effect in the case of a change of P2231.

Sets the ramp-up time for the PID setpoint.

P2200 = 1 (PID control is enabled) disables normal ramp-up time (P1120). PID ramp time is effective only
on PID setpoint and active only when PID setpoint is changed or when RUN command is given (when PID
setpoint uses this ramp to reach its value from 0%).
Setting the ramp-up time too short may cause the converter to trip, on overcurrent for example.
P2258 0.00 - 650.00 1.00 U, T - - Float 2

Sets ramp-down time for PID setpoint.

P2200 = 1 (PID control is enabled) disables normal ramp-down time (P1121). PID setpoint ramp effective
only on PID setpoint changes. P1121 (ramp-down time) and P1135 (OFF3 ramp-down time) define the

It is essential that you select the correct transducer type. If you are unsure whether 0 or 1 is applicable,
you can determine the correct type as follows:
1. Disable the PID function (P2200 = 0).
2. Increase the motor frequency while measuring the feedback signal.
3. If the feedback signal increases with an increase in motor frequency, the PID transducer type should be 0.
4. If the feedback signal decreases with an increase in motor frequency the PID transducer type should
be set to 1.

P2274 = 0: The derivative term does not have any effect (it applies a gain of 1).
P2280 0.000 - 65.000 3.000 U, T - - Float 2
Allows user to set proportional gain for PID controller. The PID controller is implemented using the stand-
ard model. For best results, enable both P and I terms.
P2280 = 0 (P term of PID = 0): The I term acts on the square of the error signal.
P2285 = 0 (I term of PID = 0): PID controller acts as a P or PD controller respectively.
If the system is prone to sudden step changes in the feedback signal, P term should normally be set to a
small value (0.5) with a faster I term for optimum performance.

When PI is enabled, the output limits are ramped up from 0 to the limits set in P2291 (PID output upper
limit) and P2292 (PID output lower limit). Limits prevent large step changes appearing on the output of the
PID when the converter is started. Once the limits have been reached, the PID controller output is instan-
taneous. These ramp times are used whenever a RUN command is issued.
If an OFF1 or OFF 3 are issued, the converter output frequency ramps down as set in P1121 (ramp-down

3 PID autotuning as 2 little or no overshoot (O/S)
4 PID autotuning PI only, quarter damped response
Active when PID loop is enabled (see P2200).
• P2350 = 1
This is the standard Ziegler Nichols (ZN) tuning which should be a quarter damped response to a step.
• P2350 = 2
This tuning will give some overshoot (O/S) but should be faster than option 1.
• P2350 = 3
This tuning should give little or no overshoot but will not be as fast as option 2.
• P2350 = 4
This tuning only changes values of P and I and should be a quarter damped response.
The option to be selected depends on the application but broadly speaking option 1 will give a good re-
sponse, whereas if a faster response is desired option 2 should be selected.
If no overshoot is desired then option 3 is the choice. For cases where no D term is wanted then option 4
can be selected.
The tuning procedure is the same for all options. It is just the calculation of P, I, and D values that are
different.

Motor staging allows the control of up to 2 additional staged pumps or fans, based on a PID control sys-
tem.
The complete system consists of one pump controlled by the converter with up to 2 further pumps/fans
controlled from contactors or motor starters.
The contactors or motor starter are controlled by outputs from the converter.
The diagram below shows a typical pumping system.
A similar system could be set up using fans and air ducts, instead of pumps and pipes.

By default the motor states are controlled from digital outputs.

In the text below, the following terminology will be used:
MV - Variable speed (Converter controlled motor)
M1 - Motor switched with digital output 1
M2 - Motor switched with digital output 2
Staging: The process of starting one of the fixed speed motors.
De-staging: The process of stopping one of the fixed speed motors.
When the converter is running at maximum frequency, and the PID feedback indicates that a higher speed
is required, the converter switches on (stages) one of the digital output controlled motors M1 and M2.
At the same time, to keep the controlled variable as constant as possible, the converter must ramp down
to minimum frequency.
Therefore, during the staging process, PID control must be suspended (see P2378 and diagram below)

When the converter is running at minimum frequency, and the PID feedback indicates that a lower speed
is required, the converter switches off (de-stages) one of the digital output controlled motors M1 and M2.
In this case, the converter must ramp from minimum frequency to maximum frequency outside of PID
control (see P2378 and diagram below).

Time that PID error r2273 must exceed motor staging hysteresis P2373 before destaging occurs.
P2376[0...2] 0.0 - 200.0 25.0 U, T PERCENT DDS Float 3

P2376 as a percentage of PID setpoint. When the PID error r2273 exceeds this value, a motor is
staged/destaged irrespective of the delay timers.
The value of this parameter must always be larger than staging hysteresis P2373.
P2377[0...2] 0 - 650 30 U, T - DDS U16 3

Time for which delay override is prevented after a motor has been staged or destaged.
This prevents a second staging event immediately after a first, being caused by the transient conditions
after the first staging event.

P2390 -200.00 - 0 U, T - - Float 3

% 200.00
The PID hibernation setpoint P2390 is a percentage of the rated motor frequency P0310.
When the value of P2365 is set to 2 and the converter under PID control drops below the PID hibernation
setpoint P2390, the PID hibernation timer P2391 is started. When the PID hibernation timer has expired,
the converter is ramped down to stop and enters the PID hibernation mode.
PID hibernation is an added feature to enhance PID functionality, and switches off the motor when the
converter is running at low setpoint. Note that this is an independent function from staging, although it can
be used together with staging.
If PID hibernation setpoint is 0, the PID hibernation function is disabled. The PID hibernation setpoint
should be greater than the minimum frequency (P1080). Reverse operation is not allowed with the PID
hibernation mode.
P2391 0 - 254 0 T - - U16 3
When the PID hibernation timer P2391 has expired, the converter is ramped down to stop and enters the

% 200.00
While in PID hibernation mode, the PID controller continues to generate the error r2273. Once this reach-

ler.

P2946 0.000 - 0.200 0.000 T - - Float 2

Sets the value for the amplitude of the wobble-signal as a proportion of the present ramp function genera-
tor (RFG) output. The value of P2946 is multiplied by the output value of the RFG then added to RFG out-
put.
For example, if the RFG output is 10 Hz, and P2946 has a value of 0.100, the wobble signal amplitude will
be 0.100 * 10 = 1 Hz. This means that the RFG output will therefore wobble between 9 Hz and 11 Hz.
P2947 0.000 - 1.000 0.000 T - - Float 2

Sets the value for decrement step at the end of the positive signal period. The amplitude of the step is
dependent upon the signal amplitude as follows:
Amplitude of signal decrement step = P2947 * P2946
P2948 0.000 - 1.000 0.000 T - - Float 2

Sets the value for the increment step at the end of the negative signal period. The amplitude of the incre-
ment step is dependent upon the signal amplitude as follows:
Amplitude of signal increment step = P2948 * P2946
P2949 0 - 100 50 T - - U16 2

Sets the relative widths of the rising and falling pulses. The value in P2949 sets the proportion of the wob-
ble period (determined by P2945) allocated to the rising pulse, the remainder of the time is allocation to the
falling pulse.
A value of 60% in P2949 means that 60% of the wobble period the wobble output will be rising. For the
remaining 40% of the wobble period the wobble output will be falling.

The magnitude of the Super Torque boost is calculated as follows:
V_ST = P0305 * Rsadj * (P3355/100)
Note:
Rsadj = stator resistance adjusted for temperature
Rsadj = (r0395/100) * (P0304/(sqrt(3) * P0305)) * P0305 * sqrt(3)

Up to 200% of rated motor current (P0305) or limit of converter.
The Super Torque boost is calculated in the same way as Continuous Boost (P1310). As the stator resistance is used,
the calculated voltage is only accurate at 0 Hz. Thereafter, it will vary in the same way as Continuous Boost.
Setting in P0640 (motor overload factor [%]) limits the boost.

If an alarm is activated the alarm icon shows immediately and then the display shows the
alarm code proceeded by "A".

Note that alarms cannot be acknowledged. They are cleared automatically once the warning
has been rectified.

You can disable stop reaction for three selected alarms or all alarms:
Use P2100 to select up to 3 alarms and use P2101 to disable stop reaction for the
selected alarms.
Use P2113 to disable stop reaction for all alarms.
For more information, see the description of P2100, P2101, and P2113 in Section
