INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The Model VS-616PS5 is a series of high quality, general purpose, inverters designed to control the current in a perma-
nent magnet (PM) brushless motor. In the PM motor, current is directly related to torque.
With power outputs ranging from 0.5 to 500 horsepower (HP), the VS-616PS5 series is suitable for any application. The
inverters provide full start-up torque, smooth low speed operation, and precise speed control from zero to full speed. The
proprietary auto-tuning function allows the inverters to get the best performance from PM motors manufactured world-
wide.
Some of Yaskawa’s proprietary features of the VS-616PS5 inverter include torque control, automatic tuning to the motor
characteristics, UL recognized electronic thermal motor overload, energy saving operation, PID loop control, and low
noise operation. Also standard is a digital operator for simple programming. The design team has used the latest in
microprocessor technology to produce the
ultimate
drive for
any
application.
This manual details installation, start-up, and diagnostic procedures for the PS5 series. For more details on program-
ming, request the VS-616PS5 Programming manual (publication number YEA-TOA-S616-10.21) from your Yaskawa
representative.
