6.2 Motor Performance Fine TuningThis section offers helpful information for counteracting oscillation, hunting, or other faults that occur while performing a trial run. Refer to the sectionbelow that corresponds to the motor control method used.Note: This section describes parameters that are commonly edited. Consult Yaskawa for more information on detailed settings and fine-tuning the drive.u V/f Motor Control Method TuningTable 6.1 Parameters for Tuning the Drive in V/f Motor Control MethodProblem Parameter No. Countermeasure DefaultValue Suggested Setting• Motor hunting and oscillation at speedsbetween 10 and 40 Hz Hunting Prevention Gain(n1-02)• If insufficient motor torque relative to the size of the load causes hunting,reduce the setting.• When motor hunting and oscillation occur with a light load, increase thesetting.1.00 0.50 to 2.00• Motor noise• Motor hunting and oscillation at speedsup to 40 HzCarrier Frequency Selection(C6-02)• If the motor noise is too loud, increase the carrier frequency.• When motor hunting and oscillation occur at speeds up to 40 Hz, lower thecarrier frequency.• The default setting for the carrier frequency depends on the drive capacity (o2-04) and the Drive Duty Selection (C6-01).7 (Swing PWM1) 1 to A• Poor torque or speed response• Motor hunting and oscillationTorque CompensationPrimary Delay Time (C4-02)• If motor torque and speed response are too slow, decrease the setting.• If motor hunting and oscillation occur, increase the setting. 200 ms <1> 100 to 1000 ms• Poor motor torque at speeds below 10 Hz• Motor hunting and oscillationTorque Compensation Gain(C4-01)• If motor torque is insufficient at speeds below 10 Hz, increase the setting.• If motor hunting and oscillation with a relatively light load, decrease thesetting.1.00 0.50 to 1.50• Poor motor torque at low speeds• Poor motor instability at motor startMid Output Voltage A(E1-08)Minimum Output Voltage(E1-10)• If torque is insufficient at speeds below 10 Hz, increase the setting.• If motor instability occurs at motor start, decrease the setting.Note: The recommended setting value is for 200 V class drives.
