Use this setting with SPM motors. The speed control range is approximately 1:20.

When n8-57 = 0, you cannot set E1-09 [Minimum Output Frequency] ≤ 1/20 of the value of E1-06 [Base Frequency].

The speed control range is 1:100. It gives sufficient speed detection at low speeds.

Note:
  • It is not available with an SPM motor.

  • The speed control range 1:100 is the momentary operation area. When you operate the motor continuously, make sure that the drive capacity and motor capacity are acceptable.
