8.2.1 V/f characterisc control (VFC)
The V/f characterisc control is a motor control for convenonal frequency inverter applica-
ons. It is based on a simple and robust control mode for the operaon of asynchronous
motors with a linear or square-law load torque characterisc (e.g. fan). Because of the mini-
mal parameterisaon eort, such applicaons can be commissioned easily and quickly.
Precondions
•
The V/f characterisc control is only suitable for asynchronous motors.
•
If you want to actuate a drive with a square-law V/f characterisc: please always check
whether the corresponding drive is suitable for operaon with a square-law V/f character-
isc!
•
From the motor nameplate data, at least the rated speed and rated frequency must be
entered, so that the inverter can calculate the correct number of pole pairs. 4Motor data

•
The motor must only be actuated above the rated motor frequency/rated voltage if this is
expressly approved by the motor manufacturer!
Details
This motor control type is acvated by seng 0x2C00 (P300.00) = " V/f characterisc control
(VFC open loop) [6]".
•
0x2B00 (P302.00) provides dierent characterisc shapes which are described in detail in
the following subchapters.
•
Liming factors for the V/f characterisc are rated mains voltage 0x2540:001 (P208.01),
minimum frequency 0x2915 (P210.00) and maximum frequency 0x2916 (P211.00).

0 Linear Linear characterisc for drives with constant load torque over the speed.

1 Quadrac Square-law characterisc for drives with a linear or square-law load tor-

•
Square-law V/f characteriscs are preferably used for centrifugal
pumps and fan drives.
•
Please always check whether the corresponding drive is suitable for
operaon with a square-law V/f characterisc!
•
If your pump drive or fan drive is not suitable for operaon with a
square-law V/f characterisc, use the linear V/f characterisc instead.
