Scalar control

It is possible to select scalar control as the motor control method instead of vector
control. In the scalar control mode, the drive is controlled with a frequency reference.
It is recommended to activate the scalar control mode in the following special
applications:
• In multimotor drives: 1) if the load is not equally shared between the motors,
2) if the motors are of different sizes, or 3) if the motors are going to be changed
after the motor identification.
• If the nominal current of the motor is less than 20% of the nominal output current
of the drive.
In the scalar control mode, some standard features are not available.

Parameter

IR compensation for a scalar controlled drive

IR compensation is active only when the motor
control mode is scalar (see section
on page 115). When IR compensation is
activated, the drive gives an extra voltage boost
to the motor at low speeds. IR compensation is
useful in applications that require high breakaway
torque. In vector control, no IR compensation is
possible/needed.
