5.4.2 Basic settings
The "Initial commissioning steps" listed in the table below are sufficient for a simple characteristic
control.
• Detailed information on the individual steps can be found in the following subchapters.

Tip!
Information on the optimisation of the control mode and the adaptation to the real appli-
cation is provided in the " Optimise control behaviour " chapter. ( 82)
Parameterisable additional functions are described correspondingly in the
" Parameterisable additional functions " chapter. ( 92)
5.4.2.1 Defining the V/f characteristic shape
Generally, two different characteristic shapes can be defined:
1. Linear V/f characteristic:
For drives for a constant, speed-independent load torque.
2. Quadratic V/f characteristic:
For drives with a load torque curve which is quadratic or in relation to speed. Quadratic V/f cha-
racteristics are preferred in the case of centrifugal pumps and fan drives.
[5-2] Principle of a linear and quadratic V/f characteristic
The V/f characteristic shape is defined by selecting the corresponding motor control mode in C006 :
• "6: VFCplus: V/f linear" for linear characteristic
• "8: VFCplus: V/f quadr" for square-law characteristic
