Thisis especially the case when the motor has not beenrunning for extended periods of time. Pre-lube alsosupports applications that may require certain exhaust fansto be running. The Pre-lube feature signals an externaldevice to start performing a specific action for a user-defined period of time beginning at the rising edge of arun command (for example, start request). Furthermore, astart delay (1-71 Start Delay) can be entered such that thepre-lube only occurs while the frequency converter isstopped and the pre-lube completes just before thefrequency converter starts to ramp up. Pre-lube can alsobe configured such that the external device remainssignalled at all times when the frequency converter is in arunning state or such that the signal stays on after themotor has stopped (29-42 Post Lube Time). Applicationexamples include a device to lubricate the mechanicalparts of a motor/pump or some type of exhaust fan unit.An example use case for a lubrication device would be tostart lubrication at the rising edge of a start request. Delaythe start for a period of time and stop lubrication whenthe delay expires and the frequency converter starts.Illustration 4.2 shows a different usage of the feature. Inthis case, the delay expires while the frequency converteris already ramping up.
