1.1 Outline and Functions
The VS-616G5 Inverters provides full-current vector control based on advanced control logic. An autotuning
function is included for easy vector control.
The Digital Operator provides a liquid crystal display that is 2 lines by 16 characters in size. User constant settings
and monitor items are easily read in interactive operations in either Japanese or English. (The display language
can be changed by setting a user constant.)
1.1.1 Outline of Control Methods
The VS-616G5 uses four control methods.
D
Open-loop vector control (factory setting)
D
Flux vector control
D
V/f control without PG
D
V/f control with PG feedback
PG stands for pulse generator (encoder).
Vector control is a method for removing interference with magnetic flux and torque, and controlling torque
according to references.
Current vector control independently controls magnetic flux current and torque current by simultaneously
controlling the motor primary current and phases. This ensures smooth rotation, high torque, and accurate
speed/torque control at low speeds.
Vector control can be replaced by the conventional V/f control system. If the motor constants required for
vector control are not known, the motor constants can be automatically set with autotuning.
The control methods are effective for the following applications:
D
Open-loop vector control: General variable-speed drive.
D
Flux vector control: Simple servodrive, high-precision speed control/torque control.
D
V/f control without PG: Conventional Inverter control mode. Used for multi-drive operation
(connecting multiple motors to one Inverter).
D
V/f control with PG feedback: Simple speed feedback control. (For applications with the PG
connected to the machine shaft rather than the motor shaft.)
The control characteristics for each mode are shown in Table 1.1.

1.1.2 Functions
J
Autotuning
Autotuning is effective for vector control. It solves problems in applicable motor restrictions and difficult
constant settings. The motor constants are automatically set by entering a value from the motor’s rating
nameplate.
Autotuning allows flux vector control to operate accurately with virtually any normal AC induction motor,
regardless of the supplier.
Always perform autotuning for motor unit separately before vector control operation.
J
Torque Control
Torque control is effective for flux vector control with PG. Torque is controlled by taking multi-function
analog input signals as torque references. Torque control accuracy is ±5%. Switching is possible between
torque control and speed control.
