Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What types of applications is this drive suited for?

It is ideal for pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, and other machinery requiring variable speed control for energy savings or process improvement.

What is the advantage of PM motor support?

Permanent magnet motors are more efficient and can provide higher torque at low speeds. This compatibility gives you more flexibility in selecting the optimal motor for your application.

What does Safe Torque Off (STO) do?

STO is a safety function that prevents the drive from generating output torque, allowing for safe maintenance and interaction with the driven machine without full power disconnection.

How do I program and monitor the drive?

You can use the built-in keypad and display for basic setup. For advanced programming and monitoring, use Toshiba's dedicated drive configuration software via the RS485 port.

Does it include a braking resistor?

No, a braking resistor is not included. One can be added externally if your application requires frequent deceleration or overhauling loads to dissipate regenerative energy.
