An Automatic Motor Adaptation function handles most of the setup adjustments needed. There is no need to spin the motor. Units with higher power rating are available on special order. Larger drives and more supply voltages will be added. Varispeed-G5 combines four control methods of operation, one of which is Sensorless Flux Vector mode.
Typical applications are extruders and conveyors.
More complete and sophisticated motor models will be developed. Also, added parameter measurements will give the controller deeper insight into the motor, allowing better performance from more information available. Sensorless vector drives will move into more mainstream applications. Still higher performance SV drives are envisioned down the road at GE Fuji. However, the consensus is that for the highest demand, critical response applications closed-loop control will rule for the foreseeable future.
