Useful function and specification

Simplify the system
– Panel display control
Contents of your requests, such as load condition, could be viewed on the inverter’s panel. (Using the communications)

– Shows power by the pulse count
Integrated power can be output by the pulse. Even without the external wattmeter, power can be shown by the pulse count.

– Flexible terminals
The terminal function settings can be changed. Multiple input terminal functions can be assigned with single input terminal to simplify the external circuit.

Useful for OEM
– Parameters can be set easily
• Application easy setting
6 parameters for particular usages are available. Parameters match to your machine can be displayed and setup easily by using the application easy setting.

• Protection of the setting parameters.
VF-S15 provides protection for the setting parameters.
Four-digit password is required to reinforce the security.
VF-S15 can save and restore a set of parameters.
• Setting from extension parameter writer.
• Setting and management on a PC: PCM002Z

– Easy wiring
• Detachable control terminal board
Remove the terminal board to wiring efficiently.

Useful to building the system
– Control power supply backup
Control power supply is supplied from the inverter’s main circuit and also supplied by another input. It can maintain the output signal and trip indication, when the main circuit power supply circuit is also turned off due to inverter trip.

– Continuously adjustment from analog input
Can be adjusted continuously by analog input, the value to be set by the parameter.
< Adjustment parameters >
Acceleration/Deceleration time
Upper limit frequency
Torque boost value
Motor electronic-thermal protection level etc.
*For processing by the internal, parameter settings are not changed
