
Constant speeds/frequencies
Constant speeds and frequencies are predefined references that can be quickly
activated, for example, through digital inputs. It is possible to define up to 7 speeds
for speed control and 7 constant frequencies for frequency control.
WARNING: Speeds and frequencies override the normal reference
irrespective of where the reference is coming from.
Settings
Parameter groups 22 Speed reference selection (page 217 ) and 28 Frequency
reference chain (page 240 ).

Critical speeds/frequencies
Critical speeds (sometimes called “skip speeds”) can be predefined for applications
where it is necessary to avoid certain motor speeds or speed ranges because of, for
example, mechanical resonance problems.
The critical speeds function prevents the reference from dwelling within a critical band
for extended times. When a changing reference (
22.87 Speed reference act 7 ) enters
a critical range, the output of the function ( 22.01 Speed ref unlimited ) freezes until the
reference exits the range. Any instant change in the output is smoothed out by the
ramping function further in the reference chain.
When the drive is limiting the allowed output speeds/frequencies, it limits to the
absolutely lowest critical speed (critical speed low or critical frequency low) when
accelerating from standstill, unless the speed reference is over the upper critical
speed/ frequency limit.
