Varispeed F7 Control Methods
Details of the Varispeed F7-Series Inverter control methods and their features are provided in this section.
îš‹ Control Methods and Features
Varispeed F7-Series Inverters support the following four control methods, allowing the selection of a control
method to suit the required purpose. Table 10.1 provides an overview of the control methods and their fea-
tures.

Main Applications
Variable speed con-
trol, particularly for
control of multiple
motors with a single
Inverter and for
replacing existing
Inverters
Applications requir-
ing high-precision
speed control using a
PG on the machine
side
Variable speed con-
trol, applications
requiring high perfor-
mance without a PG
on the motor side,
and for replacing
open-loop vector con-
trol of the previous
VS-616G5.
Very high-perfor-
mance control with a
PG on the motor side
(simple servodrives,
high-precision speed
control, torque con-
trol, and torque limit-
ing)
