Frequency Arrival
Signals
The Frequency Arrival group of outputs help coordinate external systems with the current
velocity profile of the inverter. As the name implies, output [FA1] turns ON when the output
frequency arrives at the standard set frequency (parameter F001). Outputs [FA2] through [FA5]
provide variations on this function for increased flexibility, relying on two programmable accel/
decel thresholds. For example, you can have an output turn ON at one frequency during accel-
eration, and have it turn OFF at a different frequency during deceleration. All transitions have
hysteresis to avoid output chatter if the output frequency is near one of the thresholds.

Description
01 FA1 Frequency arrival
type 1 – constant
speed
ON when output to motor is at the standard set
frequency F001
OFF when output to motor is not at the set
frequency F001
02 FA2 Frequency arrival
type 2 – over-
frequency
ON when output to motor is at or above the FA
threshold 1(C042) during accel
OFF when the output to motor is below the FA
threshold 1 (C043) during decel
06 FA3 Frequency arrival
type 3 – at
frequency
ON when output to motor is at the FA thresh-
old 1 (C042) during accel, or at C043
during decel
OFF when the output to motor is not at either
the FA threshold 1 (C042) during accel or
at C43 during decel
24 FA4 Frequency arrival
type 4 – over-
frequency (2)
ON when output to motor is at or above the FA
threshold 2 (C045) during accel
OFF when the output to motor is below the FA
threshold 2 (C046) during decel
25 FA5 Frequency arrival
type 5 –
at frequency (2)
ON when output to motor is at the FA thresh-
old 2 (C045) during accel, or at C046
during decel
OFF when the output to motor is not at either
the FA threshold 2 (C045) during accel or
at C046 during decel
Valid for
outputs:
11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
AL0 – AL2
Required
settings:
F001, for FA1
C042 & C043, for FA2 & FA3
C045 & C046, for FA4 & FA5
Notes:
• For most applications you will need to use
only one or two of the frequency arrival type
outputs (see example). However, it is possible
assign all five output terminals to output
functions [FA1] through [FA5].
• For each frequency arrival threshold, the
output anticipates the threshold (turns ON
early) by an amount equal to 1% of the
maximum frequency set for the inverter.
• The output turns OFF as the output frequency
moves away from the threshold, delayed by
an amount equal to 2% of the max. frequency.
