VS-616PS5 Programming Manual 7
Introduction
Introduction
The Model VS-616PS5 is a series of high quality, general purpose, inverters designed to
control the current in a permanent magnet (PM) brushless motor. In the PM motor, current is
directly related to torque.
With power outputs ranging from 0.5 to 500 horsepower (HP), the VS-616PS5 series is suit-
able for any application. The inverters provide full start-up torque, smooth low speed opera-
tion, and precise speed control from zero to full speed. The proprietary auto-tuning function
allows the inverters to get the best performance from PM motors manufactured worldwide.
Some of Yaskawa’s proprietary features of the VS-616PS5 inverter include torque control,
automatic tuning to the motor characteristics, UL recognized electronic thermal motor over-
load, energy saving operation, PID loop control, and low noise operation. Also available is a
digital operator for simple programming. The design team has used the latest in micropro-
cessor technology to produce the ultimate drive for any application.
