Torque control
Torque control is part of the vector control and normally receives its setpoint from the speed
controller output. By deactivating the speed controller and directly entering the torque
setpoint, the closed-loop speed control becomes closed-loop torque control. The inverter
then no longer controls the motor speed, but the torque that the motor generates.

Typical applications for torque control
The torque control is used in applications where the motor speed is specified by the
connected driven load. Examples of such applications include:
●
Load distribution between master and slave drives:
The master drive is speed controlled, the slave drive is torque controlled.
●
Winding machines
The most important settings
Prerequisites for the correct functioning of the torque control:
●
You have set the motor data correctly during the quick commissioning
Quick commissioning with a PC (Page 91)
●
You have performed a motor data identification on the cold motor
