3.8.2 Speed control
Via the Speed control tab, simply make the drive rotate in the "Speed follower" operating
mode without the need to set control parameters or feedback systems:
How to make the motor rotate in its most basic way:
1. Set the desired speed setpoint in [%] based on the reference speed, e.g. directly in
the Setpoint PC input field or via the slider.
• Via the -- / 0 / ++ buttons, the currently set speed setpoint can be
reduced/increased in steps of 10 percent or set to zero.
• Via the Set setpoint A/B buttons, the speed setpoint can be set to a previously
set constant value A/B.
2. To start the speed follower:
Enable the controller via the Enable controller button.
• Please observe that the controller will not be enabled if other sources of
controller inhibit (e.g. terminal RFR) are active.
• The enabled controller is now following the selected speed setpoint.
• To avoid shocks or overload in case of great setpoint changes, the speed
setpoint follows a linear ramp generator with adjustable
acceleration/deceleration time.
• Via the Inhibit controller button, the controller can be inhibited again, i.e. the
motor becomes torqueless and is coasting unless it already is at standstill.
