How can running frequencies be skipped in an ATV61/ATV71 ?

Issue:
Skipping output frequencies in an ATV61/ATV71

Resolution:

The Skip Frequency function allows an ATV61 or ATV71 drive to avoid operating at specific motor speeds that may cause resonance, vibration, or excessive noise.

To configure a skip frequency, navigate to Menu 1.3 - Settings and adjust the following parameters:

  • Skip Frequency (JPF): Sets the center frequency of the range to be skipped.
  • Skip Frequency Hysteresis (JFH): Defines how many hertz (Hz) above and below the center frequency will be excluded.

The skipped frequency range is calculated as:

(JPF - JFH) to (JPF + JFH)

Note: The JFH hysteresis applies to all three skip frequency parameters: JPF, JF2, and JF3.

Example

  • JPF = 30 Hz
  • JFH = 2 Hz

The drive will avoid operating between 28 Hz and 32 Hz:

  • Lower limit: 30 - 2 = 28 Hz
  • Upper limit: 30 + 2 = 32 Hz

This setting helps prevent operation within frequency ranges that can create unwanted motor resonance, vibration, or noise.
