Essential services (Fire mode): Selected via digital input, Fire mode will cause the drive to run continuously at the maximum programmed speed ignoring all other control signals and alarm conditions

Catching a spinning load - "fly-catching": The fan control algorithms enable the AC15 to detect when a fan is free-wheeling and to regain control of it before running it at the commanded speed
PID Control: Multiple PID control loops can be programmed to monitor process variables and adjust the speed of the motor accordingly to achieve the required variable setpoint
Energy Optimisation: Under constant speed conditions, the motor power waveforms from the drive are optimised to reduce motor energy consumption without compromising performance
Skip Frequencies: Up to 4 speed and frequency bands can be programmed, to enable resonant points on the load to be avoided, reducing vibration, wear and noise
Programmable multi-stage speed control: 8 cyclable stages can be programmed with different running speeds and times
Thanks to the on-line help and pre-configured macro templates, users can achieve the optimum drive configuration without the need to navigate through complicated parameter menus
