2.2 ABOUT THE CFW501

The frequency inverter CFW501 is a high-performance product which allows the speed
and torque control of three-phase induction motors. This product provides the user
with the options of vector (V V W ) or scalar (V/f) control, both programmable according
to the application.
In the vector mode (V V W ), the operation is optimized for the motor in use, obtaining a
better performance in terms of speed regulation.
The scalar mode (V/f) is recommended for simpler applications, such as the activation
of most pumps and fans. The V/f mode is used when more than a motor is activated
by an inverter simultaneously (multimotor applications).
The frequency inverter CFW501 also has functions of PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller) by means of the SoftPLC (integrated) feature. For further details regarding
the programming of those functions, refer to the SoftPLC user's manual of the CFW501.
