Group 25: Critical Speeds
This group defines up to three critical speeds or ranges of speeds that are to be
avoided due, for example, to mechanical resonance problems at certain speeds.
Code Description
2501
CRIT SPEED SEL
Sets the critical speeds function on or off. The critical speed
function avoids specific speed ranges.
0 = OFF – Disables the critical speeds function.
1 = ON – Enables the critical speeds function.
Example
: To avoid speeds at which a fan system vibrates badly:
• Determine problem speed ranges. Assume they are found to
be: 18…23 Hz and 46…52 Hz.
• Set 2501
